Brownies CAPTURE
final FROM GRIFFS
Bert Gallia Is Pounded in the First
Frame and Nationals Lose
by 4-to-2 Count.

Fielder Jones' lowly Browns yester-
day punched hits in the first inning
on Bert Gallia's delivery and won the
final game of the season against the
Griffmen by to count.
Gallia did not seem to have any,
thing that would fool the Mound City
clan, and after three hits had been
gathered off his slants in the first
frame, Shaw was sent in to do the
rescue act. Jimmy performed in a
creditable manner during the four
sessions in which he worked. The
Old Fox used a quartet of pitchers in
his attempts to stem the tide, but
the damage had already been put over
on Gallia, and it was too late when
the changes were made.
Shaw, who entered the fray with
the sacks loaded, stopped further hos
tilities. and allowed one hit in the
four innings he was in the center of
the diamond. He was relieved in the
fifth to let pinch hitter bat, and
Dumont was on the fire line when ST.
Louis took its fifth turn at the bat
Dumont breezed along until the
eighth, allowing one hit and was not
scored on. Mollie Craft pitched the
last two sessions, and did not allow a
blow.
Davenport, the long, slim twirler of
the Mound City Club, was hit hard,
but the Nationals were not able to
bunch hits off him except in the sew
enth, when three singles whistled
over the plate.
Only fast fielding on the part of
the Browns inner works saved Dav-
Nrt in, irSt inning hnth
Milan and Rice singled and Foster
was passed, but Morgan proved easy.
and was thrown out on a roller to the
pitcher, who tossed him out at first
base, and the danger was passed.
The Nationals tried hard to turn
the old ball game in on the right side
of the ledger in the ninth. Walter
johnson was called from the club
house and sent in to bat for Crafts.
but his best efforts was a long fly to
Shotton. Menoskey then hit one on
the nose to the scoreboard. but two
of his team mates proved easy VIC
Tins.
The Browns opened up on Gallia in
tke first inning. ShOtten hit to right
for a base and Austin followed suit
with a scratch hit. Smith was given
a base on balls and Demmitt hit to
.i,;ht and two runs came over the
pate. Pratt was passed and on
,nanks' error on Jacobson's roller.
two more runs were over. Shaw was
injected into the game at this point
forcing Hale to strike out and then
passed Gerber. but Davenport hit in
10 a double play and the scoring was
stopped.
The Mound City clan gathered hit
off Shaw in the second. but two were
down at the time and no damage was
done. DuMont did not allow a hit
until the seventh. the last inning he
worked, and in his case two men
were down.
Manager Griffith gave the fans a
chance to look at Bill Murray in ac-
ton, as he took Shanks out of the
game in the third and substituted
Murray. He accepted his one chance
in good style and fielded the ball
clcanly. At the bat he had one chance
to break up the game but his best
efforts We're to fan the atmosphere
three times.

FEDS ENTER SUIT
IN SUPREME court
Baltimore Club Presses Issue Against
Organized Baseball in Dis
trict Court.

An echo of the baseball sensation of
1913 was heard yesterday when the
Federal League Baltimore baseball
club fled suit again against the Ma
tional and American leagues for
$4,000 damages in the Supreme Court
of the District. The declarations cover
a book of nearly 100 pages and recites
practically the entire history of base:
ball. the beginning and end of the
Federal League and its troubles.
Ban Johnson, August Hermann and
John X. Tener and other baseball
lights are named defendants. Attor-
ney Charles Douglas, of this city; At
torneys Goldman, Marbury, Gosnell
and Williams, of Baltimore. repre-
sent the Federal League.
The substance of the declaration Is
exactly the same as in other suits
against the big leagues. namely. that
it was put out of commission by
an alleged unlawful conspiracy, SLAM
der. statements given out verbally
and through the press, to the extent
that the plaintiff would not be able
TO live long enough to play out its
schedules and threatening all profess
sional players with exile if they play
ed in the Federal League.
1t further alleges that the defend
ants gave the Nooklyn Feds 100000
to induce them tSdesert their league.
which they did. and by flattery and
coercion and cash bequests induced
the Chicago Feds to desert also.
In Baltimore alone the Feds spent
$500 in stands. Leaseholds through
out the country cost them $1,000 and
they spent in assembling good play
eTs $4,000. all of which the Feds
claim now is a total loss.
They are confronted now with liza
bility of $4,000 in addition to the
other deficits. The Feds also claim
that the alleged unlawful conspiracy
has reduced the value of their prop
critics. They also charge the big
leagues with restraint of trade and
commerce between the States; having
it made difficult for them to obtain
professional players and causing the
public to lose confidence in them.
The Feds admit that the big leagues
are in absolute control of the baseball
situation.

McReynolds Concurs in Ruling,

OF CONGRESS

Washington, Jan. s. The Webb
Kenyon law, designed to prevent
liquor shipments from wet" 10

stitutional by the supreme court by
a vote of 7 10 ;, which also upheld
West Nirglnia's prohibition amend
ment, prohibiting citizens from
receiving liquor, for personal use
shipped by common carriers in inter
state commerce.
1t was announced that Justice Nc
Reynolds concurred in the decision.
but not completely in the opinion.
Justices Holmes and Van Devanter
were the two dissenting justices.
The all-rcachng power of govern
ment over liquor is settled said the
chief justice i'll announcing the de-
cision. There was no intention OF
congress to forbid individual use OF
liquor. The purpose of this act was
to cut out by the roots the practice
of permitting violation OF state liquor
laws. We can have no doubt that
congress has complete authority to
prevent paralyzing of state authority.
Congress cxertcd power TO co-ordi-
nate the national with the state au-

Colonel Fetterman Sounds Call
for a Regimental Armory
Here in Omaha.
SHUN FALSE ECONOMY

Nebraska must spend money to
preserve its National Guard and to
keep the respect of the country" says
Colonel Fetterman, inspector Of the
National Guard. This state must
build a suitable armory as soon as
possible with money appropriated for
the purpose by the state legislature,
And until such building is erected,
some place in Omaha must be found
to store temporarily the $25,000 worth
of property which the four companies
own.
There is no longer need of evad-
ing the issue that Nebraska must pay
its share in making the nations de-
fense. The only point for discussion
is whether it shall be paid i'll money
for the education of men and officers
that they may be able to be good SOL
diers, able to take care of themselves
and to come home safe and sound,
Save from inevitable casualties; or
whether it shall be paid in the flesh
and blood of Nebraska boys sacrificed
by incompetent officers upon the bat
tie field, or in fever-stricken camps
through ignorance of sanitation, and
by mothers tears. know what edu-
cation has already done, as | see the

RINE COOKS BATCH
FOR LEGISLATORS
City Attorney Prepares Number
of City Charter Amend
ments for Approval.
MORE POWER TO CITY DADS

City Attorney Rinc has prepared
for the Douglas county legislative
delegation a batch of Omaha city
charter amendments which have
been referred to in detail from time
to time.
Some of these proposed amend
mcnts arc intended to make more
definite and certain existing charter
provisions, while others are to en-
large the authority OF the city council
in situations which the city officials
have been unable TO negotiate in the
past,
One amendment for instance, pro-
vides that intersccting streets may be
included in an improvement district
and that a majority petition of the
entire district will govern. In the
case of the proposed grading OF the
Dodge street hill. there. were four
district proposed, namely; Dodge
Seventeenth to Twenty-irst; Eight
ccnth, Nineteenth and Twentieth
streets, each from Capitol avenue to
Douglas street. In the cases ol
Dodge, Nineteenth and Twentieth
streets there were sufficient signers
to the petitions, but the Twentieth
street petition lacked sufficient sign.
ers and thus held up the entire i'm.
provement. Under the proposed
charter amendment, the present sig
natures on the consolidated district
would be sufficient to make ma.
jority of the four streets if considered
as one improvement district
Bonds Without Vote.
Provision is made for voting OF
bonds for public comfort stations and
police station without submitting
to vote of the electors; also remov,
ing the maximum Of 100000 sewer
bonds in one year; providing thai
the city council may take over public
contracts in default and hold contra6.
tors without further formaIity.
1t is proposed to require the Met
ropolitan Water district to pay hall
cost Of paving on streets adjoining
water plant property. Another provi
sion is TO allow the city council tc
purchase or condemn property fol
opening or widening streets anc
boulevards. and issue any necessary
bonds in connection herewith, with
out submitting TO vote of the citi
zens. 1t is provided that appraisers
reports and bond propositions shal
be in the form of ordinances, to en-
able the voters TO take advantage o.
the referendum law if they wish. Thi.
amendment would provide way fol
putting through the widening O.
Twcnty.fourth street which is unde,
consideration.
