AHEAD OF OMAHA
Topeka Takes Undisputed Lead
i'm Western League.
Sioux City Defeats Omaha by 8
to 8 Score.

Two things happened "Wednesday
that are bit out of the ordinary.
One was that Topeka took first
place in the Western league without
any company. The other was that the
Savages advanced while standing still
1t has been so long since Topeka
was in her rightful baseball place tna-
1T seems bit unreal to most OF the
fans. To those who do realize it and
who realize what it means it brings
sort of dizziness that is always pro-
duced by an extraordinary high climb.
Nevertheless. we have the honor of
being league leaders. and if an hon
est effort and hard work will do it. we
may be expected to retain the berth
in the rare atmosphere for some time
The way it was accomplished, by
the non-eXertive method, was very
simple. Rain prevented the Savages
from playing at Lincoln and Sioux City
trimmed Omaha by the score of TO
s. OF course, if the Savages had
played their lead would have been
greater, but a nostril is as good as a
nose, and a kind fate should not be
criticised.
Since the Savages left Topeka Tues
day night, the roster of the team has
been reduced by the release of Pitcher
Styles and the sale of First Baseman
Frankenhoff to the Virginia, Mimi,
team of the Northern league.
Styles was weighed in the balance
against Lincoln and found wanting.
Frankenhoff, while a good player and
a very classy youngest had no chance
to win a first base berth with Bill
Rapps as a competitor, and Owner
Savage felt that another years exper-
fence would do him a great deal of
good.
More to Go Yet
Within the next ten days the other
surplus players will have to be dis
posed of. There is no dope out as
to who they will be. Both Tallion and
Trainer were taken on the Lincoln
trip, but there is a possibility that
one or the other of them will be dis
posed of before the team returns.
Both are good men. Tallion has been
going bad. but his friends think he
will pick up as the season advances.
Trainer is a youngster but if he con-
tinues to play as he did in his first
game he will be the man to stick.
The selection of the pitching staff
will probably be the hardest task
Jackson and Savage have to face in
the final wedding out. That Grover,
Dashner, Wideman and Clunn will
stick seems evident, but who the other
one will be is a question.

NOTES FROM LINCOLN
Manager Mcintyre Turns Loose Many
Players-Heavy Rain Wednesday.

Lincoln, Neb., May 6.-Had the Saw
ages and the Tigers been equipped
with web feet and a flotilla of boats
of an exhibition of water baseball here
Wednesday afternoon, but under the
circumstances the contest had to be
called off. A downpour of rain shortly
after 1 o'clock gave the prospect of a
ped about 2:30 O'Clock and prepara-
lions were made to play. The bucket
was kicked over again about o'clock
and after waiting until $3.50 the con-
test was called off.
Roe Carlton, the outfielder OBJ
tanned from Detroit, who was expected
to be a find was shipped back to the
Tigers Wednesday afternoon by Man
ager Mcintyre. Carleton failed to do
handed his release.
Outfielder Altman was shipped back
to the White SoX today from whence
he came and Manager Mcintyre also
made preparations to hand Third
Baseman Kruger his walking papers.
Kruger will probably be farmed out to
one of the Nebraska State League
teams to gain a little more experience.
The acquisition of Infielder Daley
ton club will fill up the hole caused
by the release of Kruger.
Lincoln fans are anxious to see the
Sava ges in action. The shifts in the
team lead to the belief here that the
gregation than for several years past,
and in addition Cochran and RappS
have a crowd of old friends in this
city, $500 49,. .s,a7 -.~

JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY

The most highly enjoyed entertain ment of the season among the young people, was that given on Saint Pat rick's night by the Junior Class to the Seniors of 1915 at he home of MT. and Mrs. Ury Mckenzie.
 The house, which is so easily ad- apted to decorations, was made beauti- ful by an abundance of greenery ar ranged with graceful bows of white. The colonnade between the dining room and hall, entwined with English ivy and filled in with bouquets of white flowers formed an entrancing background for the punch table where green cheery punch was served by the Junior girls.
 Little Jim Mckenzie opened the door and the officers of the class, MT. Watson Husky and Miss Julia Riley with other members of the class, ex- tended hearty welcome to their guests.
 Progressive pig was played and the Seniors, appreciating so thoroughly the fact that the party was for them, bore off both prizes. Ulric Buchanan won first prize, which was box of stationery suggestive of the occasion, and Fred Guthrie, the booby, a raw Irish Potato.
 Quotations were matched that a new partner might be had for the re mainder of the entertainment, and af- ter much searching to find either the beginning or the end of quotation, they were again seated at the table and Shamrock cream and cake were served.
 These dainty refreshments proved the skill of the Juniors in Domestic Science as the artistic appearance of the house proclaimed their ability in decorative art.
 Toasts were given by the presi- dents of both classes and Mr. Jim Young, Senior president, very gra- ciously expressed the appreciation of his class to the Juniors saying that he was glad that the custom of the annual Junior-Senior party had been established and that he hoped it would he kept up.
 In addition to the faculty there were many other invited guests who en- joyed the hospitality of these young people.

NEW BRITISH ARMY
OF 100000 men
Vast Force to Wage War
Against GaFnant

Anew British army of 100000 meI
is to be put in the field next spring to
fight the Germans.
An idea of the plans of Earl Kitch'
ener, secretary Of state for war, re
vealing the strength of the British
forces, was given when the new army
estimates were issued in revised form
by the war Office.
German aviators bombarded Yer
dun, tLe French stronghold on the
Meusc, after Deri.ou3 trip over three
of the forts defending the city on the
northwest, but their machine wa
shot down alI the airmen were made
prisoners. Cre OF the Germans was
executed.
The maci ine showed the marks o!
more than a hundred shots. So sever
was the bombardment from the high
angle guns of the French when the
German Taube approached Verdui.
from the direction of Varennes that /
was lost to view for a consi1erab
period in the smoke from bursting
air bombs.
1t is reported from Belfort that
Thanh and Cernay have been almost
destroyed by fire and shells.
There has been much trench fight
ing with saps and hand grenades near
.Altkirch. A large farmhouse a shCrt
distance from the Swiss frontier was
cho1
burnel down.
The Germans are said to have pro
hibited people in the district under
their control from going outside the
towns. Barbed wire fences have beeL
. built around the villages, this being
considered necessary owing to the
numerous spies.
