OMAHA DROPS ONE
MORE TO TOPEKA
Kaws Hammer Gaskell and
O'Toole, and Rourke De-
tense Makes Errors.
GAME is A WooLLY AFFAIR

With pitcher playing first and
two pitchers and first baseman in
the outfield, the we'll known Topeks
ran away with another combat from
the Rourkelets yesterday, 7 to 3. If
the Topeks could lose a couple OF
more athletes now, they might cop
the pennant.
As the pesky Lincoln Links won
again yesterday, the Rourke lead is
only four games. 1t behoLves Marty
Krug to send ont the S. o. S. for re-
Inducements. ,,-,.
# The game was a. woody affair, in
which both sides staged some mar
velous stuff. If Martin Beck had
seen the fray yesterday he could have
signed up whole bill Of headliners.
Make Seven Errors.
The Rourkes made seven errors.
Seven is sometimes lucky number,
but it was unlucky yesterday. The
Topeks only made four errors Oma-
ha had eleven men left on bases. To-
peka had twelve. The pinch hitting
was punk.
At that, Mr.. Henning, who played
left field Tuesday and pitched yes
terday, got away pretty lucky Twice
the Rourkes contested the runaway.
Once nobody was out and the other
time one was out. The first, time
Kruger hit into double play and
the second time Marty O'Toole hit
into double play. Both doubles were
started at the plate, so nobody scored.
Krug Poles Triple.
The first Rourke counter was
scored in the fifth on Marty Krug's
triple and an error. by Lathrop. In the
seventh the other two local markers
were annexed on Thompson's single,
Miller's triple and Krueger's single.
Prince Gaskell started 10 exhibit
his hooks and curves, but was yanked
in the home half of the second for a
snirer and Marty O'Toole got the
bumps the rest Of the matinee.
Kewpie Kilduff did not play. He
is all crippled up. He donned a uni
form, however, and sat on the bench
: for emergency purposes. A couple of
dozen emergencies arose, but Kewpie
wasn't disturbed. Krug went to short
and Irelan played second
The Rourkes and Kaws will combat
again this afternoon, starting at 3;l5.

Double Bill Will
Be Staged With the
Lowly Links Sunday

A double-header will be staged be-
tween Omaha and Lincoln Sunday.
The lowly Links are carded to in
wade Omaha Saturday for a three
game series. The trio of contests
were originally booked for Saturday
and Sunday and Monday. But Pa
Rourke and Ducky Holmes decided
to cancel the Monday battle and make
it part OF bargain bill Sunday.
Omaha fans have hankering for
double headers, so Pa and Ducky de-
cided to give them one.
The approaching Omaha Lincoln
series bids we'll to be one of the most
critical series of the year, If Omaha
can sweep the series the Links will
practically be eliminated. II the Links
sweep the series the league race will
be tied into mighty tight knot.

American Nation Loyal To
PRINCIPLES of Liberty

Dressed in khaki, and drawn up in mill
tary formation, several hundred young
women of the navy league were addressed
the other day by President Wilson, IN
Washington.
america has been re-awakened in ma
tional spirit through the lessons of the
European war;" said the president. In de-
claring that he hoped this country would
not be drawn into war, Mr.. Wilson con-
tinued: I'm the great voice of national en-
thusiasm which would be raised all the
world would stand once more thralled to
hear the voice of the new world asserting
for standards of justice and liberty.
In speaking of the re-awakening of the
national spirit, in his address to the women
who are training in military encampment,
in order that, should the need arise, they
may be prepared to defend their country,
President Wilson struck a note to which
the spirit of the womanhood of this coun-
try is quick to respond. For it is the wom-
en-, no less than the men, who are showing
a spirit of splendid loyalty at this time
when the United States is on the brink of
hostilities with one country, and in imni-
nent danger of an open breach with an
other.
The American people today, no less than
in the past, are people of sentiment. How
quickly they responded, as unit, to Bel
gums need How their sympathy has
gone out to Poland. How ardent they have
been for the soldiers of France.
A nation without sentiment is a nation
without honor The American people are
new people. But of all people, we are a
people of ideals Liberty means more to
us than to others, because we have suffered
more for it than have other nations. Our
country, new though it be, has been drench-
ed in the blood of patriots.
Our standards of liberty and of justice
mean no less to American women today
than they do to American men, and the
women of the navy league, who were ad-
dressed by President Wilson, represent in
a concrete way hundreds of thou
sands of other women, just as patriotic
The national spirit is neither masculine
nor feminine. In their love of country and
allegiance to their flag the American peo-
pie have already shown, by their loyalty
to the presidents preparedness program,
that they give place to no other nation in
the world.

He Does Not Measure Up
to Senatorial Standards

The attempt of Albert w. Gilchrist, one
of the candidates for the United States SEN
ate, to injure Nathan P. Bryan in West
Florida by circulating reports as to what
the friends of Senator Bryan did during
the Blount-Bryan campaign six years ago,
stamps the ex-governor as of too small cal
ibre to represent Florida in the United
States senate.
Mr.. Gilchrist in a recent advertisement
said:
On the last day of the second pri-
mary in the Blount-Bryan campaign
the Bryanites circulated letter signed
by Charles L. Collins, well known as
secretary of the Anti-Saloon League,
the letter headed headquarters of the
Anti-Saloon League, advising Dear
Sir and Friend to vote against Mr..
Blount and for Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Gi1christ then says: mo B1ount
man can vote for Nathan P. Bryan for
senator" In this we think the ex-gover-
nor is badly mistaken. Escambia county
was almost solid for Mr. Blount six years
ago. The latter's Supporters have since
become we'll acqua inted with Senator
Bryan. They fully Irealize his fitness for
the position which he holds and are almost
as solid for him now as they were for Mr..
Blount six years ago.
The attempt of Mr.. Gilchrist to gain
votes for himself by such methods will be
futile and only shows him in his true light.
