The soccer foot ball games scheduled 70
be played at Miller and Elmwood parks
Sunday afternoon are called off on ac-
count of the condition OF the ground,
the snow being so deep as TO interfere
with the movement of the Dali.
general meeting will ne held Monday
night at O'CLOCK in the city hall TO try
and arrange a match to be played either
Christmas or New Years day between
the stars Of the four league teams. that
is. return match OF the one played at
Miller park on Thanksgiving day. II ar
rangements can be made this match will
be played at Rourke park for the benefit
of the league.
After the Christmas holidays soccer
foot ball win come to a close In the
Omaha City 'league. Besides the post
pcned game OF last week only two more
scheduled contests remain TO be played.
The approach of the cold weather has
greatly interfered with the play in the
league. Last Sunday the Omaha City
Caledonian match sI Elmwood park and
the B-l9l4-TownseHd game had to be
postponed because OF this.
The cup offered by the T. l.. Combs
jewelry store is practically cinched by
the Omaha City eleven. However. there
is still a great deal OF interest between
the other teams for second place. The
three trailing teams are separated but
by few points and each has a chance at
the place.
Officials OF the league are still working
Oh a plan TO stage a Christmas game at
Rourke park for the Belgian relief fund.
Because OF the inclement weather when
the last benefit game was played only
$50 was raised. The players. as we'll as
the officials. are anxious that this sum
be increased before It IL turned over to
the relief committee. II is planned TO
stage an exhibition game between an
ail-British team against an aIl-Scandina-
Wan eleven. the former composed OF
English and Scots. while the latter OF
swedes and Danes Should the weather
permit. this plan viii undoubtedly be
carried out.

Athletics Are COnHistent

The Athletics show a very consistent
worlds series performance, as the Macks
never do anything half way. They either
have the everlasting stuffng kicked out
OF them OF they are peeling the epidermis
off their opponents In 1905 the Giants
handed the Athletics a terrible lanbast-
ing, trimming them four out OF five, all
the defeats being shutouts.
Then came three productive years-l9lO
1911 and l9l3-when the Athletics won
twelve out OF sixteen games only to have
them fall back TO their opposite extreme
In 1914, when the Braves wiped them up
four straight. Therefore. though Mack
has won three out of five worlds series
In which he has engaged, he has Just
barely won half his games, his record
being thirteen victories against twelve
defeats.
On the other hand. Frank Chance, who
broke even in four worlds series as
Peerless Leader OF the Cubs. possesses
eleven victories against nine defeats
McGraw, who won only one big series out
OF four starts. nevertheless can show ten
victories against thirteen defeats.

managers OF the modern worlds series

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-Though the
American league has a slight lead over
the National league in winning worlds
series, six TO five being the exact edge,
II has won two more games in worlds
series warfare than It's Johnsonian OPP
ponents.
The reason for this lies In the fact that
when the National league trims the
American In worlds series II always
does It in such a clean-cut manner that
there iS no rebuttal. In the five worlds
series In which the American league has
been licked the Ban. Johnsonites scored
Just exactly five victories.
Twice the Americans were not allowed
a single run, twice they copped only one
game, while in 1903 the losing Detroit
Tigers succeeded in wrestling three vic
tories from the victorious Corsairs on
the other hand, the Nationals snatched
twelve victories In their six losing years,
or rate of two defeats a year to. the

Horaen Hnrd to cd.

An English writer OF prominence who
has evidently studied the question, writes
only a few days ago chatted about
these matters with prominent English
breeder who was commissioned TO buy
horses for the war office. Rnd he alluded
to the great difficulty in procuring the
proper material. Only the dire need for
horses for military purposes can justify
the enormous capital outlay connected
with this item of the mobilization.
1T has certainly cost more than the
maintenance of fiscal studs would have
required. yet this sort of remounting can
never serve its purpose, since uniformity
in type OF the army horse as a whole,
and not supreme merits on the part of a
few among them, Is It's chief asset A
squadron Of lanceps mounted on 1862 hand
hunters and Is hand hacks cannot pos
sibly attack in straight and close lines,
and instead OF overriding a column of
infantry. they would soon be all over
the ground. and, seriously handicapped in
the proper use OF the rifle, would be
made prisoners or shot without difficulty.
I'VE have TO wait some time ere the
man In the street will admit the enor-
nous. though passive. part which the
British bloodstock breeder Is playing in
this war. Even then. II problems of this
kind are discussed, he VIII probably stub
bornly deny the existence of any rela-
tions between breeding and racing. How
ever, he may in time listen TO this. No
industry can prosper which is deprived
| OF testing ground for the quality OF it's
| products. Prices are determined by quail
ity. and quality is the result of COM
| petltiye labor.

WAR is TAKING MANY HORSES
It is Estimated that There Are
Three Millions in Struggle.
BUY SIXTY MILLIONS WORTH
English and French buyers I'm the
United states and Canada Spend
Huge sum for Mounts and
Artillery Animals.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1e-Has any one
tried to figure up the amount of money
the present war is costing the belliger-
ents for horses alore? 1t would be an
impossible task at this writing. but some
day it will probably be known-when the
returns are all in from the warning fac
tions. Figuring that the combined armies
have about 100000 men in the field or
ready to go to the front, It is certain
that from % to 30 per cent of them are
mounted, which means that about $780,
900 horses are utilized. These figures are
given to indicate the extensiveness of
tho horse market of the world.
The subject OF purchasing horses dur
ing war time was brought up among
dealers few days ago. 1t was shown
that ~the vast amounts already paid for
remounts to owners In this country and
Canada had reached such enormous
proportions that It vas mystifying. An
idea of the value of horses is gathered
from the number that have been shipped
from this country and Canada within the
last four months. From all points 1t is
estimated that about 100000 remounts
have been sent TO England and France.
The buyers OF these horses average them
at about $500 a head, including shipping
expenses, making grand total of $4,000, =
600 having been expended by England
and France for American and Canadian
remounts.
| For sake OF argument would II not have
been cheaper for England to raise and
educate horses for army purposes? Had
such been the case the British army
would have first class material at hand
when needed. Horses are as essential as
men. and when 80 many are needed, the
life of horse being very short while in
action. should 1t not be part of the pre-
paration for war TO have sufficient horses
in the background ready for service?
