The Dresden was a member of the,
German squadron which was defeat

Falkland Islands in December. She
was the only one of the five German
warships to escape. She was said to
have fled to the westward, burt there

had been postponed until all Of the clubs
had declared Intentions of taking part
this year, The season will open about
May Is and will close as usual on Labor
day.
President Miles is highly elated over re-
cent developments. For time the state
league was In rather a chaotic state.
Holders OF franchises seemed indisrosed
TO act until report sprang into circule-
ton TO the effect that the league might
discontinue, That report stirred the mag
mates to action and they began TO hustle

absence of ball club meant and
hurryTup efforts were made to raise the
forfeit money.
The date set for the receipt Of deposit
money was March /. but few OF the clubs
were In by that time. AS spring began
to- approach aud other leagues started to
prepare for the 1915 season, the state
leaguers put their shoulders to the wheel
and everything is in tiptop shape.
President Miles predicts n good year in
the state loop. Salaries will be reduced
and all business carried on in a sensible
manner. Club owners will not stand 10

Race Between Cars of 300-Inch
Displacement.
PURSE NAMED AT $4,000

Complete details and specifications for
the first sweepstakes automobile race to
be held on the track of the new Omaha
Automobile speedway are contained in
the sanction for the race granted by the
American Automobile association. The
sanction provides for a 9Co-mile race by
cars of 900 cubic inches or less displace-
ment for purse of $1,000
original plans for the opening race
called for a purse of $4,000 and permitted
cars of any displacement to enter. IN
agreement was made with Tacoma and
sioux city, however. ana all three cities
decided to cut their purses to $4,000 Last
year Sioux city awarded $4,000. but cuts
to the lower figure this year Indianapo-
lis and Chicago go up on their purses,
awarding $4,000 each.
Tacoma will run cars of any dlsplace-
ment, while Sioux City viii be limited TO
40 cubic inches. AS the indianapolis
limit has been $50 inches. most racing
cars are built under that displacement.
The SO-inch displacement is rather

Ralph De Palma and other famous
drivers FOR the race at that place on July

ON July 5, they will be unable to compete
here.
1t is probable that the big race in
Omaha will occur during the Ak-Sar- Ben
festivities IN tho fall, rather than on
July5. Omaha has a sanction assured on
any date between September 10 and oc-
tober Is THAI has been promised by
Richard Kcnnerdell, chairman Of the CON

association. As there will be no other
race attractions during that period
Omaha will be permitted to promote a

Also the drivers will either race at Omaha
or not at all-they can make no pick Of
several places as on July 8, so that the
entry list should include all of the big
