Omahogs Gave Savages a Final
Push Wednesday.
Nothing Left to Do but Climb
Upward From Now On.

Marty Krug and his heartless Oma-
hogs gave the Savages a final push
Wednesday afternoon before leaving
Topeka in triumph and as a result To-
peka spent the night down with TIE
cold. lifeless furnace and the pale
ter der mushrooms.
AS to how long we are destined to
stay below the sod line, only the fu-
consolation at least Dropping fur

course left-no second alternative.

And this very fact is liable to produce
a change for the better
It Was Sudden.
There was nothing extraordinary
about the downward trip except the
remarkable speed in which the jour
ney was made. Last week the team
was in fourth place But just when
this position was reached Omaha
came to town and three short days
to the bottom. But there is consola-
ton in this, too, and that is that the
same journey can be made in the same
time if the team plays the proper kind
of ball.
The last lap of the down grade slide.
made Wednesday afternoon, was one
of the few really punk" contests that
have been played here this season. The
plaYlng OF bOtn teams ndQ 1rdZZleS on
it, and the umpiring of Ollie Anderson
was of the kind they are alleged to
have in Hades for the punishment of
good sport fans.
Monroe Benched.
Not only did Anderson call EN- bad,
but he was mean and despotic about
it. and when Eddie Monroe protested
q perfect strike that he called a ball
when Cy Forsythe was at bat, Ander-
son took what little life remained in
the Topeka players away by benching
Monroe.
He also put Hall off the coaching
line without any real cause for doing
so and did other things that were
highly displeaSing to the spectators
But the loss of the game cannot be
blamed on the umpire. and what he
did only helped make a miserable per-
Torrance more miserable.
The Omahogs got their ragged play
ing out of their system in the last half
of the first inning when four hits and
two errors were allowed to net four
runs. After that they settled down
and played their usual steady game,
allowing only one more score, which
came in tire sixth. The famous O'Toole
did not look very classy at the be-
ginning of the contest, but as it grew
older he seemed to get better and his
last two innings were his best.

The results of the first days cham
pionship play showed that Harlow
Hurley, of Topeka, was still in the
race for the state title, and indications
were that he and T. Griffith, present
champion. would meet for the honor
in the final struggle. Hurley came
through the second round of the
championship flight with colorS flying
and it was freely predicted that if he
could hold the same form throughout
he would be winner.

Pete" Henning before he was re-
lieved by West and before the last
out was made a total of five runs had
been put across. Previous to that,
however. in the second frame three
hits and one error had given the Krug
clan a pair.
After West took the box he held his
opponents to a hit an inning and the
only run they made from him was in
the seventh, when Cochran made an
inexcusable error that allowed Krue-
ger to get to first, the latter scoring a
few minutes later on Forsythe's dou-
BILE to center.
Although the Savages did not play
any better ball than they have been
playing during the last few days, they
did do some real scrapping and ap-
parently were exerting themselves to
the utmost.

Meet Stecher of Nebraska.
Circus Owner May Promote
Match in Kansas City.

Chicago, June 15.-Frank GoIcn.
wrestling champion OF the "orIu' Nc
signed to meet Joe Stecher. the Ne
braska marvel. in a hnlsh iiia'0n A'
the title.
Gus with which Gotch is now unoer
contract, gave out news OF the agree
ment in this city. 49,
Gotch signed with Tammen tne
other day after a bantering match, IN
which Tammen dared him to make
the match and show that he reaiiy
wanted to see which was the better
man as between him and Stecher:
I'm clear to SIM" Gotch said. De
cause nobody has my signature. II
you will promote the match, you can
have my signature right now
I'm not in the promoting line, but
if you want to sign, l would like 10
see you dc so,' Tammen replied, and
short agreement was drawn up, to
which Gotch affixed his signature.
Gotch Free Agent
"Gotch has told me that he is not
bound to anybody for this contest,
Tammen said, in discussing the mat
ter. He did have some sort OF an
agreement with Jack Curley, but says
this does not interfere with anything
he will do with me.
I'm willing to offer a fiat guaran-
tee of $4,000 to Stecher to sign for a
match with Gotch and we can decide
later where it is to take place I'm
not committed in any way to a place
for the contest.
| They tell me Omaha would be an
ideal spot, but 1 do not see that
Omaha is any better than Kansas City
or Chicago.
"Gotch is looking a whole lot bet
ter now than he has for some time
and I'm firmly of the belief that he
will quickly regain his form and be
/ back as good as ever he was. 1t would
appear to me that this talk about the
match has resolved itself down mere
| ly to the question of what each man
is to get for his end. Stecher has
said that he wants as much as Gotch
and as Gotch wants 40 per cent, it
looks like a hard proposition for any
body to swing.
Not Certain Go.
THE main point of the whole thing
is this: Gotch is showing an inclina-
ton to wrestle and that is what we
want. Mind you. I've simply got
Gotch's signature to make a match
with Stecher for the worlds cham
pionship. I'm bidding $4,000 for
Stecher's services. If he wants to take
it, all well and good, we will start
looking for a place for the match. If
he doesn't want it, he can't argue with
me. Somebody else can have the
match and I'll let it go at that
But Gotch will wrestle; you can go
and gamble on that
Mr.. Tammen' will be in the city for
couple of days before rejoining the
circus, which is now travelling east
. ward through Ohio. He says Jess
Willard and Frank Gotch have proved
, the greatest cards that could have
been obtained and that despite rainy
weather business has been wonderful

to suppose that the Savages will begin 60

they can't go down any farther.

On paper there is not a better looking
club in the league With or two ex-
cept1ons, every player looks individually
like star performer. But for some rea-
son the summaries are not turning out as
they should.
However, here's hoping that the worst is
over, and that from now on we are going
to get back into the running to stay there.

Base as an enemy, faithless as a
friend, would not condescend to ar
sue with him, but enlighten, | will,
the people of Nevada, concerning this
Basque race, for whose existence the
human race is the better, and the
state of Nevada may feel the prouder.
For rs years our people have been
emigrating to the American continent,
north and south, thousands settling
in California, Nevada and Arizona, and
in all these years, we have met but
fair play, esteem and consideration
on the part of the American people.
At this late day we struck upon this
Senator from Nevada. Long before the
world dreamed of breeding the Pitt
man stock, long before the old Ro-
mans and Celt-Iberians, the Basques
settled in the valleys and on the pla-
teuas of northern Spain and southern
France, strongly entrenched in the
midst of the natural fortress of the
~Pyrennees. From that seat they have
never dislodged.
Lacking in independence" Why
for 5000 years; they have basked in
the sunshine of independence, dearly
won, but successfully maintained
against the most powerful foes the
world has ever known. Historians
answer that between the eighth and
thirteenth centuries, twice they de-
cided the fact of European civiliza-
ton. If in that last 300 years, the
two strong nations on both sides of
them have wrenched political auton-
omy from them, they live today under
the two flags. as distinctly racial in
language, manners and religion as
they did a thousand years before Pitt
mans nationality was thought Of
Lacking in independence" Why
nine-tenths of them own their land

considered the lowest condition Of
social life, and none being ever ex-
cused from work, that has a mind
to think and a hand to WELD.
