Manager Engle still has his best guns
loaded for the Ducklings. Nothing short
of the whole series will be considered
satisfactory now.
The five straight victories in a row
have turned local fans to pennant con-
versations again. .They look like they
have the stuff and it is yet possible is
the comment the average enthusiast
makes
And it is yet possible to nose into the
lead-that is if Omaha breaks a leg or
some team shows sufficient strength to
take the Rourkes to good healthy clean
ing There are yet 81 games to be played
20 at home and % on the road.
Almost anything can be accomplished in
a SO game stretch And if the savages a:
they have been playing for the past
week they need have no worry about fin
ishing in a satisfactory place.
The odds are better than even money
that Omaha will crack under the strain
and the end. But the only thing Engle's
men have to worry about is their own won
and lost column. By keeping. constantly
in the former and stunning the other as
they would an undertaker's reception room
is their only hope.
The Lincoln club has more infielders
than 1t can use and Manager Holmes says
he will have to reduce when ne gets home
Stevens, who was hurt early in the season.
is ready to return to his old job, it is
reported.
'Ty" Lober, Holmes lean outfielder, is
alleged to have more natural ability than
any player on the Duckling pay roll. But
Lober has such an inclination to inactivity
that it is said to keep him out of the
class of real sensations.
Although it is probably a little out of
the realm of sport it seems in order to sug-
gest that the City Health department
might do some good If it would distribute
free samples of that old familiar song,
"She's a Doggone Dangerous Girl"
The universal opinion, outside of
Omaha, appears to be that Pa Rourke hit
Western league baseball right between
the eyes, blacking both peppers, when he
forfeited a game to Wichita last week
and cheated several hundred fans out of
seeing what they had paid good money to
see.

5TH STRAIGHT WIN
Savages Trim Ducklings Just
Like They Did Izzies.
Whole Team Hit Jack Halla
Hard From the Start.

The Savages put their fifth game in
the win column Tuesday afternoon
when they took the opener from the
Lincoln Ducklings by the count of
, 8 to 3.
Jack Halla once the pride Of To-
peka. occupied the mound for the
Eolmes men and he was LIT hard and
steadily from the first, every savage
except Agler and Doyle getting safe
blows
Doyle pitched for Topeka up to the
seventh inning. an injury to his arm
in the sixth causing his retirement
Bernie was not stingy, but he was fair
~ tight in the pinches and only al
lowed two runs up to the time he was
relieved.
Both Scored Early.
After Lincoln had made one on Car
Hsle's triple and Thomasons single in
the first. the Savages came to bat and
stepped immediately into the lead
Devore led off with a single and went
to third on Cochran's double. Good
win then came through with double
that scored both. The Ducklings tied
the count in the second on Hunters
2-baeger and "Hick" Johnson's sacri-
flee fly.
The darkest situation that the En-
gle men faced came in the first half of
the fifth when three infield hits in a
row filled the bases with no outs. 1t
looked as though Doyle was in for the
trimming of his life. but he frightened
up. struck out Carlisle. made Williams
force Morse at the plate on a pretty
play by Goodwin and forced Halla at
third
Cinch After Fifth.
After getting out of this hole. the
Savages had all the confidence they
needed and the game was never in
danger thereafter. Monroe walked
and scored on Cochran's single in the
last half of the fifth, Kruger's triple
drove Goodwin in for another in the
sixth and in the eighth five singles
gave the Savages five more counters
for good measure.
Goodwin was the fielding star of the
afternoon. handling seven chances
cleanly. In the sixth inning, with
runners on first and third and only
one out, "Pep-Nat' went way up into
the sky and snagged Morse's liner on
his finger tips. getting a double play
unassisted. The catch was a beauty
and it saved at least one run, and
possibly headed off rally.
Player Umpires.
Cochran led in hitting with three
singles and a double out of five times
at bat Lober. the highly touted out
fielder IF the Ducklings, robbed Kru-
ger out of an extra base blow in the
first inning, when he went back
against the centerfeld fence and
stabbed a hard chance with one hand
Owing to a boner in the transplant
ing of umpires, Kane and Mullen, the
new Topeka arbiters, did not arrive
from Denver on scheduled time. and
the game was started with player um-
pires. This took some of the edge
OF of the game, but the regulars
showed up in the last of the second
inning and Immediately got into the
game.

Systematic Soaking of Lawn
Gives Best Results

Perhaps no single thing adds so
much to the appearance and value
of a home as does a neat, we'll
kept lawn. But i n cities and
towns where city water must be
depended upon, keeping the lawn
becomes a real problem, especially
when only few hours every
other day are allowed for irrga-
tion purposes.
There is common idea among
people that the entire lawn should
be watered every watering day.
and as result. only a thin layer
of dirt on the surface becomes wet.
This causes the grass roots to turn
upward. and very soon the grass
will have shallow root system. so
shallow in fact. that in order to
keep the grass alive. it must have
water practically every watering
day.
The following is perhaps the best
method of irrigating lawn under
the before named conditions.
The lawn when well soaked. lex
cept in extreme cases) need not be
watered oftencr than every seven
to ten days. In order to do this,
the lawn should be divided into a
number of sections. depending
upon the number of watering days
in the above period: then soak
thoroughly each section on its
particular watering day. If the
old spstem has been in use, this
method will have IT, be gradually
worked into, so as not to starve
the shallow-rooted grass.
The method of covering the en-
tire lawn in week, instead of q
day. has been found to take much
less time and worry, besides Civ
ing better results in the long run.

There are several good citizens

NEED PURE WATER

Little Thought.

\ farmer remarked the other
day, when took dinner with
him, that his great problem was
how to secure pure water sup
ply for house use. 1t was ap-
parant from the drift of his con-
versation that he was not con-
cerned about the quality of water
for his livestock, anything was
good enough for them.
The same laws that govern
health pertain to the lower ami
mails as. well as to man. After
dinner | looked around a little
and found that the water for his
animals came from surface we'll
near the stables. As it happened
it was not strongly alkaline but
it was stagnant, tceming with
animal and vegetable organisms,
the result of animal excreta and
barnyard refuse. The amount of
organic matter in it made it unfit
for any animal to drink. This
man complained of having had
hard luck' with his livestock.
