FOOT BALL GETS AN OVATION
First Big Game of Season with Sand

Initial Act mt Rourke Park This
Afternoon VIII he Ball Game,
Followed by Gridiron
Battle.
by FRANK QUIGLEY.

Foot ball was given a general introduce
ton to all the local plgskn warriors last
Sunday and it received an ovation. Al
though it was a trifle warm, nevertheless,
large crowds were on hand to witness
the games Heretofore 1t always has been
a difficult matter to secure grdirons on
which to stage local contests, but this
season it will be a cinch. mainly because
of the municipal fields, which are to be
had for the asking. From present indica-
lions, approximately twenty teams will
be mustered in Omaha, about three IN
Council Bluffs and a pair in South Omaha,
making a total Of twenty-five.
CoIumbIans Win out.
The Columbians, the squad with cham
pionship aspirations. started the ball
a-rolling last Sunday by icing their ini-
tial mix.
The Wisner, Neb., team, state cham
pions won the opener from the California
Athletics. According to the dope they
were only going to utilize the services of
their coach, Kinky Walworth, when they
had a real tough match, but, regardless
of this, he worked against the California
Athletics
The Monmouth Parks, the other Omaha
squad to be feared by Wlsner and others
with championship aspirations spent last
Sunday practicing. This team is COM
posed of men who think more of playing
foot ball than any other pleasure.
Combination Affair Today.
At the Rourke base ball park this aft

ball and base ball affair. Last week the
Alamitos issued a def to any Omaha
team and it was taken up by the Ancient

Albany. N. Y, Feb. 25.-The con.
viction OF Charles w. Becker, a for.
mer New York police lieutenant, OF
the murder of. Herman Rosenthal, was
reversed and the conviction OF the
four gunner for the same crime was
affirmed by the court Of appeals.
Justice Goff. the court held, erred in
many of his rulings at Becker's trial
and appeared to be prejudicial In his
attitude toward the defendant The
reversal was based solely on these
grounds. No attempt was made by
the court to say whether the weight
OF evidence against Becker was suffi.
cient to warrant his conviction.
II was pointed out, however. that
the testimony against him was given
by witnesses of low class and as much
OF 1t was open to doubt, he, therefore,
was entitled to fairer trial than he
received.
All of the seven members of the
court, except Judge, Werner. who act
ed as presiding Judge when the ap-
peal was argued, concurred In the
prevailing Becker opinion, which was
written by Judge Hiscock. In dis
senting opinion Judge Werner said

Status Of Sam schepps.
The much mooted question as tc
the status OF Sam Schepps, whom the
jury in the Becker case decided was
not an accomplice to the crime, still
Is unsettled. The prevailing opinion
merely said that there was doubt in
the minds OF some OF the court as
to the propriety of excluding Schepps
as an accomplice.
The decision in the case of the four
gunner, ''Gyp the Blood" Whitley
Lewis" "Dago Frank" and Lefty
Louie" was unanimous. They had
averred that the evidence against
them was insufficient to warrant con
viction and also that the court had
erred in handling their cases, but
these contentious were held by the
court to be groundless.

gunner will be fixed by the court
within a few days. The death war,
