Will Select Soccer
Team from Players
In the Games Today

Added interest in the two Omaha Soc
Ger league games scheduled today h the
result of an announcement that . special
committee will view the trays for NE
purpose OF determining choice OF ath-
letes TO combat sioux City here the Sun
day following Thanksgiving. The games
today are the Omaha City eleven and the
Caledonians at Miller park ana the
Townsends and the Cxechie At Carter
Lake
Because OF the fact that selection OF
the sll-star Omaha team will he based
largely on the play today Il is expected
that the soccer men will Guido themselves
in their efforts. In addition to the selec-
ton Of the representative Omaha team a
choice OF two all-star Omaha teams will
be made for n special game which win be
played Thanksgiving day. as
Information has reached Omaha that
several Chicago cracks win play on the
Sioux City team November Is. This has
aroused a spirit of belligerency among
the omahans and they are more than
ever determined that the game At Rourke
park will be an Omaha victory.

Plans for 1919.
While the soccer game in Omaha L.
stlll In it's infancy. it's supporters are al
ready planning big things for 1915. Omaha
has been invited to enter team in the
United States Challenge competition IA
1916, and Il Is very likely that the invita-

Omaha would be drawn against St.
Louis. whore the game Is Furnishing

that the Omaha percentage OF the split

Another plan the Omaha soccer enthu-

FAIR FANS TURN OUT WELL
Big Attendance of Women at Foot
Ball Games Since Free Gate
Was Made Order.
CoLUMB1ANs AND PARKS TODAY
BY FRANK aUIGLEY.

The scheme recently inaugurated by
the local foot ball magnates to admit
ladies free to all the parks where admis-
sion is charged proved more magnetic a.
crowd-getter than the leaders had an
ticipated. Although climatic conditions
were unfavorable last Sunday, neverthe-
less a large crowd OF fair ones decorated
the stands at Rourke and Luxus parks
Phil Lynch, the manager of the Nonpa-
reils started this movement and then
the others fell in line. Ladies' will be
admitted free TO all the parks for the
balance of this season
Two interesting battles are looked for
at Rourke park this afternoon, when the
Ma1das and Montclairs put on the cur
tain-raiser at 1870. and on or about 8
bells. when the Columbians clash with
the Monmouth Parks. Coolies OF rivalry
exist between the squads matched for
the first bout, and as they are approx
mately evenly matched, an interestine
battle for foot ball supremacy is looked
for. Both OF these teams are membera
Of the Pioneer league.
The second wrangle will have coneid-
cradle to do with the championship, be-
cause IL the Columbians lose they will
be out of the race and the Nonpareils
will be the undisputed champions of
Omaha On account Of q couple Of their
players being out of town. and n couple
OF others crippled UP. the Columbians
were unable to practice last week. while
the Monmouth Parks put in q hard week
practicing for this event Anyway. the
Columbians have a wonderful defensive
team. consequently the Parks will find
II difficult matter TO score. II the
columbians win this game then they win
clash with the Nonpareils for the cham
pionship.
The lineup:

Zehrung would be a popular choice
around the loop. He is we'll known among

cities and has theatrical interests In
five of them-Omaha, Lincoln, st. Joseph,

Hussane Training
Hard for His Match
With Joe Stecher

CHICAGO. Nov. Is.-(special.) -Yussiff
Hussane. the big Bulgarian who is
matched to meet Joe Steoher in Lincoln
a week from Thursday Afternoon, is In the
city putting in a few hard ticks In his
preparation for the big event.
And. very strange to say. this IL the
first time any OF the Chicago friends OF
the man from the Balkan mountains ever
saw him really serious. As a general
thing Hussane Is n mighty carefree young
man. with broad grin on his face at all
times. Just now the grin is missing and
there are burrows and cOrrugations on the
Bulgarian's brow.
You can guess what is the matter with
him. He has a mighty tough match on
his hands. and he is anxious to be in the
very best of shape for 1t. Always in
very fair condition and capable of going
into the ring off the reel for the ordi-
nary encounter, the Turk this time is
figuring on ways and means OF getting
into exceptionally good condition.
He had figured on taking Paul Martin
son, q local motorman. out to Nebraska
with him. Martinson has wrestled Steoher
several times and is supposed to know
almost everything about the man with
the scissors" But when Hussane's prop
osition was put up to Paul he declined Il
fatty. He showed the Turk that he has
exactly twelve engagements on In and
around Chicago and has 90 much money
in sight that he would not leave IL for
what Hussane might be able TO pay him.
As result Hussane Is scurrying around
for another wrestling mate and is dis
cussing the proposition with several Of
the big fellows of this vicinity. It Is
probable at this writing that Joe Gesh-
tout. who was one OF Charley Cutler 8
mates I'm the stecher match last July,
will go with him.

The teams that will battle Thanksgiv-
ing day will be made up OF players from
the Townsends and the Eohemisns and
the Omaha City and the Caledonians. a
similar game was played last year be-
tween two chosen Omaha teams. and
the result was a 2-to-9 tie. II was a
brilliant game and proved interesting

The game this year on Thanksgiving
day should be equally al interesting and

easily upheld the honor of Omaha by
winning from both cities. These inter
city games proved very successful, ana a
soccer match. which In even more APP
pealing TO the Americans as a sport than
