but there was wind at the sprinter's
back and the mark probably will not
be allowed. LOOMS, who carried the
colors of the Chicago A. c., was the
individual star, winning first place in
the high jump and the 220-yard
hurdles and taking second in the CEN
fury.
Arlie Mucks of Wisconsin raised
his A. A. U. shot-put record two
inches, to 46 feet SO inches. Boyer
of the Mystic Athletic club won the
three-mile walk in new record time
Of 22:50, and Sherman Lands, the
Oregon high school lad set new
mark in the pole vault, of IL feet IN
inches. The old pole-vault record was
set by Knourek Of the I. A. c., at II
feet SO inches. In the half mile, Earl
Ely OF the C. A. A. won in lisa SIS,

pulled Hick back to the bench. couple

riled Ducky Holmes, who was on the coach
Ing line. Ducky grabbed bottle and
wanted to do battle, but was suppressed by
Umps Mullen.
Harry Krause occupied the buIlpen most
of the first game because Marty Krug wasn't
taking any chances. Cecil Thompson sue
ceeded him when he went into the mound
IN the second game.
The crowd evidently gRrnered Kewpie
Kilduf's nanny. Kewpie failed to do a
thing In either game.
After Forsythe made his third successive
hit In the front section the crowd gave him
a hand. Cyrus very CALAMITY made a sweep
ing bow and dotted his cap. Cyrus is strong
for large crowds.
Irelan made a one handed stop in the FIRST
game that was nothing short Of phenomenal
Harry Williams and Kick johnson were

struck 'em out much to the delight Of the

Joe Burg missed bet in the, sixth frame

ever. and Burg was thrown out He would
have been safe couple Of weeks II he had

scoring Miller. ~
Krug Hurts Leg.
In the first inning Of this game
Marty Krug hurt his leg sliding into
third base. Doctors attempted to
make repairs, but the foot was too
weak. Marty went out to his posi-
ton, but found he couldn't stand on
the injured hoof, so Harold Irelan
was called upon to take his place.
An exceedingly messy fifth inning
gave the lowly Links the second
game. Otto Merz was. the chief Of
fender in this round, committing two
errors, one Of which was pure bone.
Irelan and Forsythe also made fatal
errors in this stanza Mixed up with
couple of hits the misplays netted
the enemy four runs.
The Rourkes got the jump in the
first inning Of the second event
Smith walked and Irelan was safe
on Hunters error. Thompson sac
rificed and Miller scored Smithy and
Harold with a single to center
The Links nicked Merz, for lone
tally in the third. A walk, steal and
single by Lober turned the trick
Made Four. Errors.
But the fifth was the awful inning.
East was safe on Merz' error, to start
the round, and Carlisle doubled. Then
Forsythe dropped Smiths fly and
East scored. Merz made another er-
ror on Thomason's bunt and Lober
made hit, after which Irelan made
All error which let a run count !
Kruase was summoned here and in
the home half Of the stanza he made
a double which netted run through
the aid of Smiths infield out and
Irelan's sacrifice fly.
Carlisle double, an out and dou-
bic steal gave Lincoln one in the sixth
and Omaha made. one in the same
round through Ray Miller's home run
over the right field wall.
Both Score in Ninth.
Neither team counted in the sew
enth or eighth, but in the ninth the
Links scored one and the Rourkes
made two on a rally that fell Just a

EXPERT OPINION
NOT permitted
BY SEC. DANIELS

Washington, Jan. 4.-Secretary Daniels
disclosed today that he had declined to
permit either Rear Admiral Fiske or
Rear Admiral knight to speak on the
navy program, even though he was as
sured that the proposed addresses would
not be made public. The request was
made by John W. Scott. president of the
Commercial Club Of Chicago, by tele-
graph to President Wilson. Secretary
Daniels replied in part as follows:
1T is my conviction that the expert
opinion of the navy department having
been given to the public and congress
and the President having outlined pol
icy of naval construction, it is better
for civilians to lead the fight for enlarge
ment, while naval officers follow the I'M
broken policy of not attempting to inau-
ence legislation.
Until I became secretary of the navy
the reports of the general board had been
regarded as confidential. / have publish
ed all their recommendations for in
crease in the navy. Navy experts will
give their views to the naval affairs
committee in Congress and hearings will
be published. This gives Congress and
the people the opinions of the experts"
