Saturdays Game,

Saturdays game, which Omaha won
by the score of to 4, was an excel
lent imitation of the kind of baseball
they stage in small villages in the Ar
kansas OZarks on the Fourth of July.
The writer once had the pleasure of
seeing such a game in a place called
Shell Knob, and the only marked diff
ference between the two contests was
that the Knobbers had the digestive
organs to make the umpire eat his
teeth while neither the Savages nor
OmahogS showed a strong inclination
to bruise their fists or bats. But at
Fourth of July picnics down in the
hills" they usually have a little ''skee"
stirring about, while lemon sour and
grape juice are the strongest beVer-
ages to be had at the ball park, and
this very likely accounts for the one
unfamiliar feature.
Spencer Arthur Abbott got on the
wrong foot early in the game when he
attempted to teach Thompson how to
avoid making balks instead of calling
EN- when he made 'em, and soon had
both teams and the crowd on his neck
all at one time. When the protests
began to come no man could have UNI
pired the game successfully, but Alb
himself was responsible for the start
ting of the trouble and could have
avoided it if he had used his backbone
and insisted upon running the game.
Breen Cut Third.
With the score tied in the first of
the fifth and the trouble eggs al
ready Matched, Alb called Breen out
for cutting third and the latter at
tempted to lick him. The game was
delayed for quite a spell and Abbott
called for an officer to put Breen off
the field, but there was no officer in
the park and Breen stayed on the job
until his own men removed him.
In the Sixth Cochran and jackson
gave the Savages one run lead after
Bostick had been illegitimately called
out at first But in the seventh Dash
ner blew up and allowed two scores
on home run, a double and a single.
Bugs Grover replaced Dash and
went well until the first of the ninth
when he was combed for two singles,
double and triple which, aided
by Bostick's interference with a base
runner gave the Omahogs two runs.
Alb had hard work keeping bedlam
down while this was taking place and
a SQua bible over his decisions on the
plays almost broke up the game.
The Savages went into the ninth
inning three runs behind and with two
out baltimore drew a walk. Bill
Rapps, batting for Fisher then
knocked home run over the left field
fence and placed the Savages only one

Federal Jury Finds Geddes Hotel
Man Guilty ON One Count.

Sioux Falls. April 12.-After de-
liberating four hours and a half, the
jury in the ease of the United States

keeper indicted on four counts for
violation of the Mann white slave

Count 2 of the indictment returned

Kinser with having caused to be
transported to Geddes from Sioux

the intent to entice and compel her
to give herself up to debauchery. OF
this charge Kinser is found guilty.
The government attempted to show
that Kinser bought the railroad tick

3. The defense showed that Kinser's
dealings were through an employ
ment agency at Sioux City.

OF A


Washington. April 12.-Although
it is denied by Secretary Bryan and
Ambassador Count Won Bernstorff
that informal peace proposals have
been submitted by the German gov
eminent. the information is confirm
ed from such high circles that ii can
not be questioned.
II is but natural that the German
ambassador and the state depart
ment would deny these reports. The
representations have not yet been put
forward officially. They were put
forward informally simply as a feeler
to test out the sentiment of the enc
mics of Germany, and until there is
some definite development no official
comment will be made by the diplo-
mats in charge of the preliminaries.
That always is the custom in the
conduct of important diplomatic ne
gotiations. 1t will be remembered
that in the Japanese-Russian negotia-
tons the ambassadors OF the two
countries denied until the very last
minute that there was any possible
chance of concluding peace negotia-
tons.
Nearly all of the special CORES
pondents in Washington have been
directly and indirectly informed of
the efforts being made to bring about
an agreement between the European
belligerents. The press associations
are handicapped i'm handling such re-
ports because of their relations with
the countries involved. 1t will be re-
membered. however. that in the Jap
anese-Russian negotiations at Ports
mouth, the manager of n OF the
largest press associations in America
played a very important role.
1t is unlikely that there will be
early developments in the conclusion
of a truce. 1t is pretty well estab-
lished, however. that all of the var
ring nations are tired OF the war and
looking for a chance to bring it to an
end. Long negotiations necessarily
must follow and months may be re-
CURED to arrive at a basis upon
which the entente powers and the
Germanic allies a get together. The
fact remains that the tendency in
every European capital is toward
peace and that machinery has been
set in motion for the conduct OF the
informal negotiations.
