Poles Stage Big
Blowout for Honey,
Who is Bohemian

The Polish citizens OF Cleveland
celebrated recently in honor of Stan
ley Covelcskic, taking with them to
the ball park a band that played so
continuously that Umpire OIoughlin
threatened to forfeit the game unless
the musicians let up. This recalls the
time that the Poles of Pittsburgh
celebrated in honor OF Ed Konetchy.
The Big Train isn't Polander. He
is Bohemian and there is no great
love between the two races. but the
announcement was made when Honey
was signed by the St Louis Cardinals
that he was the first Polish player to
break into the big leagues. so the
Pittsburgh Poles fixed up Day" for
him They had band and al that
and when Honey appeared on the field
delegation went out and an orator
began i'll his best Polish to tell Honey
how glad all his fellow countrymen
were to see him winning fame
kOny was up against it. He didn't
know what the Polander was talking
about and he didn't know how he was
going to escape. A kindly umpire saw
the difficulty and started the game,
thus hus,ling the delegation oil the
field
But Honey wasn't done. Another
delegation called at the hotel where
the Cardinals were stopping that
night and insisted on further congrat-
ulaling Honey He made his escape
through a back entrance and It is said
had to keep under cover for three
days. About that time a newspaper
Writcr published the fact that Honey
WAS no Pole, but Bohemian. They
haven't liked Honey in Pittsburgh
since. Perhaps that is why he failed

STEWART TO BRING
NEW STYLE OF PLAY
Coming of New Coach Will
Mark Complete Change in
Cornhusker Tactics.
DISCIPLE OF DIRECT PASS
By JAMES E. LAWRENCE.

ny in" Ia y"
Lincoln, Neb,. Aug. l2.-(Special)
The coming Of DR., L. J. Stewart as
the new athletic director and foot ball
coach OF the University OF Nebraska
will mark a complete change in the
Husker style OF play on the gridiron
next fall Stewart undoubtedly will
modify his ideas to meet new condi-
tons in the Missouri valley but his
success on the coast, where he built
the Oregon Aggics up to one OF the
most powerful clevens in the country,
guarantees that the Huskers will not
suffer from the change.
Dr. Stewart dispensed with quar-
tcrbaCk in the offensive play OF his
team and relied entirely on a direct
pass from the center to the man who
carried the ball Perhaps this was
accountable for the great pair of back
field men he developed, including the
mighty Abrahams, who was &C
counted one Of the greatest line plung-
crs and open field runners in the
country 1t is safe to predict that a
large portion of the Nebraska plays
will start without the quarterback in
the play except for purposes of inter-
ference.
Guy Chamberlain's Trick.
The elimination OF a quarterback
IS not altogether new in Missouri val
ley circles. Jumbo Stiehm used to
play with startling success last sea-
son in featuring the mighty Chamber
lain. All Of Chamberlain's runs came
from direct pass and apparently the
Huskcr star was aided in getting a
smashing start by it.
Galley, who played quarterback in
the majority Of games last year, will
probably be used in the same position
this season, as his work as a safety
man was more certain than Cook. the
other quarterback. Galley and Cook
are both good i'll manipulating the
forward pass and can be used alter
natlvely for this purpose. Cook has
taken on weight this summer, and it
would not be surprising to see him
switched to halfback position where
his speed, stiff-arm ability, lodging
and twisting through d broken field
would prove OF great value. The
elimination OF quarterback in often
sive play puts another man on the
line--an added asset.
Galley, Thurber and a few of the
freshmen candidates started throwing
the loot ball around at the state farm
during the last week. Within the
next two weeks the entire Husker
squad will gather in Lincoln for the
weeks camp at Beatrice.

Mol Wants Meeting

Charley Mol, president OF tn.
Winnipeg club OF the Northern leagus
and former president OF the Wiscon-
sin-lllinois league. has sent out a cir
cuar letter to minor league men sus-
costing that the meeting OF the Ma
tonal association be postponed from
November until January. His argu-
mcnt that cheaper railway rates then
will be in vogue and that larger at
tendance will be assured; also that by
that time the various minors will have
a clearer understanding OF what plans
are needed for 1917. SO lar, however,
the opinion seems to be that the meet
ing should be held IN November, as

OMAHA WILL HAVE
CINCH ON RACING
Minneapolis and Sioux City
Lose Sanctions, Leaving
Omaha Clear Field.
APPLY FOR JULY 4 DATE

Omaha, with the exception Of Des
MONIES, stands we'll to have a m0nOp-
oily on the automobile speedway bust
next year. For. according to official
advices. Minneapolis and Sioux City
will not be in the running when 1917
is ushered in, and the Kansas City
race this year was so unsuccessful it
is not believed the Missouri city will
be any competition.
The American Automobile associa
ton has withdrawn its sanction from
the Minneapolis speedway and has
suspended Manager Sperry ior d
term OF two years. Minneapolis got
itself into difficulties at It's inaugural
race in 1915 and this year it became
messed up with a regular tangle
Thus the withdrawal of the Triple \
sanction which means Minneapolis
will be unable to sign up any first
class drivers if 1t docs try to stage
an outlaw race.
With regard to Sioux City, the
Triple A has announced 1t would deny
sanction for such races as were held at
Sioux City this year No purse was
offered at Sioux City. The drivers
were given a split OF the gate The
split was pretty punk and the drivers
roared.
Schultz Quits.
Coupled with the American Auto
mobile associations announcement
comes declaration from l. r.
Schultz, general manager of the Sioux
City speedway, that he is through
with the game. AS ',5ult it is not
likely there will be any motor races
at Sioux City.
This will give Omaha practically a
clear field in this territory. The
Omaha Speedway company has al
ready applied for sanction for July
next year and plans to hold even
a better race than was staged this
year, and this years classic was some
event Practically all of the drivers
who competed here July IS declared
before leaving that they would he

Chicago Race Saturday.
The invitation program of sprints
to be held by the Chicago speedway
will be staged this Saturday Races
of twenty and fifty miles are carded.
Only eight drivers have so far en-
tered the events. They are Dario
Resta, Ralph de Palma, Eddie O'Don-
nell, who has recovered from his Kan
sas City accident, Tommy Milton,
Wilbur D'Alene, Josef Christians,
Frank Calvin and George Buzane. Ed

All Clocks in Empire Set an
Hour in Advance.

Washington, May Whether the
example of the German governmen
which set al the clocks in the empire

lowed in this country to good advan-
tage, is doubted
1t seems impossible that there can
be harmony in time relations betwee n

ured by a new standard.
1t is announced by the bundesrath
that the advancing of time one hour

ing of money, not to speak of the
health benefits that will accrue to the
workers, who will go to bed an hour
earlier each night and get up an hour

According to economists in this city,
the action of the bundesrath was pri-
marily taken to conserve the nation g
resources, two of which are lighting

mittedly growing more scarce.
After Ma l. under the new time

TRINKET OF DEATH FIRE ON A Liner
Bracelet Worn by Edna Dins-
more When Murdered
Handed Down From Aunt Who
Committed Suicide.

The heavy silver bracelet worn by
Edna Dins;nore when she was mur-
dered by Fred Bissell and by which
she was first identified. has a history
and it appears to have been bearer
of trouble.
The father. Earl Dinsmore called at
the police station this morning and
asked for the bracelet. elt was given
to him for the reason that he bought
it for sister, years ago--a sister who
later committed suicide.
Dirsmore's sister committed suicide
in California last winter. Her name
was Mrs. Channel and she claimed to
have walked from Kansas City TO Los
Angeles She claimed to represent "a
newspaper. She. wore the bracelet
when she shot herself and died.
When her effects were sent back tc
Earl Dinsmore he gave the heavy
bracelet to his little daughter. 1t was
the only piece of jewelry she had and
she wore it the fatal morning when
she went to the vacant house Or West
Fifth street with Bissell.
Harvey Parsons, chief of police, said
today the reflection from the brace
let caught the eye from the head of
the cellar stairs; even before the body
could be seen.
