Notes of the Fray

Outfielder Schick did not arrive yesterday
as expected, but should blow In by today at
least.
Moore's weakness is supposed to be his
arm. 1t didn't look that way yesterday. He
made two throws that were too strong.
Krazy Kirkham is stll leaping after flies
In left field for the Josies. Kirkham Is not
only ball player. but he's some acrobat.
Thompson was master of the situation at
all times. He refused to let the Josies
gather two hits together and he didn't walk
a man.
Bud Fisher tried to do some pinch hitting
for Wright in the ninth. He watched three
sail by and started to kick on the third one
before Jumps Miller called 1t.
When Marty Krug beat out an infeld hit
In the first inning. Catcher Moore winged
his ear with his late throw to first The
ball stung and Marty had to take time out
to rub 1t, but not until after he had hiked
to second on the heave.
Ben Shaw. new catcher from Pittsburgh,
playing his first game In an Omaha uniform.
made good impression when he cracked a
beautiful single to left hts first trip to the
plate, Not a man stole a bag on Shaw
either. But then few of them got on base.
Wright pulled a stunt in the seventh that
should go down In the records as a classic.
He was on first when Henry smashed long
fly into right on hit ana run play. Wright
started to run and he kept right on going
even though Brokaw caught the ball In his
pocket Hal had tossed the ball into the
infield for the double when Wright came
charging down the line between third and
home He must have thought Dario Resta
was chasing him the way he dug his spikes
into the turf Where Wrigbt's mind was is
unknown. This also applies to the coacher
at third. Shades Of the bush.

Here's How Ben Leonard
Threw Away Young Fortune

Benny Leonard lost $4,000 recently
when he battled Richie Mitchell in
Milwaukee. And this is how it hap
pened:
When Billy Gibson signed up for
the match with Promoter Tom An
drews, he was given the privilege of
taking fiat guarantee of $4,000 for
Leonard's end, or a privilege of 50
per cent. Billy mopped his classic
brow and did bit of thinking.
"If Andrews wants to hand US that
much money, fiat guarantee, he must
be figuring monster house. Guess
we'll take the per cent and make sure
Of it." said Billy.
So they signed up on percentage
basis, and when the box Office re-
cepts were counted Nonards end
So, little o,.r $4,000, for Milwau-
zee fans did not shake themselves
oose in the manner that Gibson had
expected.

VALLEY TRACK MEET
MAY Be CALLED OFF
War Takes Star Athletes and
Schools Hesitate to Tackle
Competition.
OMAHA LOSES TWO CRACKS

The Missouri Valley Interscholastic
championship track meet scheduled
for Omaha, May 10, may be called off,
Lack of good cindcr path material
because the stars have answered the
call to the colors or the farm is respon-
sible. Practically every one of the big
high schools in the valley have lost
several stars and they hesitate to enter
the valley meet without them.
Omaha Central High is still willing
to stage the meet and will do so if the
other schools in the conference will
enter teams, Word received from
Coach Stewart of Sioux City High
was that Sioux City is not positive it
will enter and if so will only send one
or two men here. From Coach Meyer
of St. Joseph Central and Coach Reese
of Lincoln comes the same story.
Sentiment of the other schools in
the valley, Manuel, Westport and
Polytechnical of Kansas City, Mo-;
Kansas City, Kan; Des Moines,
Topeka, York, Nebraska City and
others, is being sounded out and if a
majority agree to send representatives
the meet will be held. but will not
undertake it if an insufficient number
to make keen competition is entered.
Central High, like the others, has
been hit by the war. Chuck Morearty
and Floyd Paynter, Mulligan's two
dependable veterans and the men
around whom he has built up his
squad, are leaving school to take up
farm work.
Central's base bali team will be dis
banded this week. The last game will
be with Wahoo Friday. The team has
lost so many men it cannot hope to
compete with mines of other schools.

ROURKES HANG UP
ANOTHER SHUTOUT
Cecil Thompson Trims Drum
mers, Holding Them to Three
Scattered Hits.
ADAMS AND o'TooLE TODAY

Cecil Thompson held the St. Jo-
seph Drummers in the hollow of
his hand yesterday afternoon, while
his confreres nicked Sam Powell for
seven hits and the Rourkes scrambled
home with their second successive
shutout, 3 to O..
The Drummers only made three
hits off Thompson, Cecips southpaw
slants had the Josies baffled every
minute. Hostile runners reached third
twice and both times they were left
high and dry, while Cecil made
monkeys of their mates at the plate.
On the other hand the Rourkes
ganged four of their seven hits so
that three tallies were pushed over
the plate.
Big Bill Bradley raped a drive
through third too hot for McClelland
TO handle and made second on it
when it caromed off McClelland's
hoof. After Irelan popped up Ben
Shaw slapped hit through short
which Shaw failed to get his fingers
on. Bradley scampered home on the
play.
Shag Thompson drew a walk to
open the eighth. Earl Smith combed
double into right, advancing Shag
to third. Henry let B. Smiths throw
get away with him and, Thompson
beat it home and Smith went to third.
Bradley came through with a single,
sending Smith home. The last two
runs were entirely superhuous, but
they made Cecil feel good.
Errors Frequent.
Errors were frequent throughout
the contest, but only one, Henry's,
cut any ice in the scoring.
Fans are promised treat today
when the Rourkes and Josies clash
again. Marty O'Toole and Babe
Adams will oppose each other on the
mound.
Adams and O'Toole were team
mates on the Pittsburgh Pirates,
when they were in their prime. Both
had gone UP from the Western
league. Adams went up from Denver
and O'Toole from Sioux City via St.
Paul. Adams was considered one>of
the greatest hurlers in the game. He
had won worlds series for Pitts
burgh by capturing three games.
O'Toole was the highest priced
pitcher in captivity.
Both Adams and O'Toole are still
mighty good hurlers and if right
should stage fast battle today. The
game starts at 3:15.

HORSEMEN BUSY AT
BENSON RACE TRACK
Nearly 100 Fast Trotters and
PAGERS Being Trained for
Meetings.
RAILBIRDS TIME sTEPpERs
By RUSSELL PHELPS.

In the neighborhood or 100 horses
are now being trained at the Benson
racing plant in preparation for the
seasons harness meetings in all Sec
tions of the country. Included in the
galaxy OF trotting and pacing stars are
several speedy animals destined to
show on the Grand circuit before the
summer is over. Several trainers and
owners with large strings arrived at
the suburban track during the last
week.
The inclement weather on most of
the days of the week interfered with
training schedules somewhat, necessi-
tating indoor workouts and light jog
ging under cover, but as a whole the
several stables are boasting of rare
form for their stars. Most any day
now the visitor to Benson is privi-
legged to see aocks of "railbirds"
perched on fences, watching and
clocking their favorite steppers as
they come down the stretch. The
early season form displayed by such
time and tried stars as Hal Mckinney,
Hal Connors and R. C. H., three of
Tom Dennison's champions, is indeed
gratifying to followers OF the harness
game.
Plan for June Meeting.
The June meeting at Benson, to be
given by the Omaha Driving club, is
but little more than a month away
and horsemen are already sending in
their entries. For the early closing
purses the entries close May IS. Otis
NJ. Smith, superintendent of speed of
the driving club, said yesterday that
he expected between Us and 200 first
class horses to start in the June meet
ing. The dates are June II to IA, in
elusive. Purses and stakes totaling
$4,000 will be hung up.
Harness racing at the spring meet
ing will be on the Nebraska Speed
way association loop, with which is
consolidated the Nebraska Midway
Racing circuit. The Omaha Driving
club also holds memberships in the
Great Western circuit and the Iowa
Nebraska-Minnesota circuit. The
big fall classic is to be staged at Ben
son August 81 to "a, inclusive, with
a stake and purse total of more than
$4,000, making it one of the impor-
tant meetings of the year from ma
tional standpoint Mr.. Smith is ad-
vised that several of the recognized
greatest PAGERS and trotters in the
United States will start in the Driv-
ing clubs fall meeting.
Extensive improvements have been
made at Benson since the Driving
club took over the plant and moved
all the speedway track equipment
there. The home stretch has been
and the contour of the half
mile track made as nearly perfect as
possible. The Benson twice-around
is being worked daily by expert care
takers. An attractive landscape gar
dening scheme is being worked out
in the .nfeld. Driving club officials
hope to make Benson the most beau
tiful harness racing plant in the
middle west by the time the horse
men of the country turn their eyes
toward Omaha, when the greatest
western classic is held in August.

McGraW Finally Admits
Sacrifice is Good PIav

1t is remarked that John McGraw
has adopted the sacrifice as part of
his scheme of play. McGraw was so
welded to the idea of having every
batter hit his head off a few years
ago that he lost pennant by it. Now
he seems to be getting wise and in
spite of the fact that he has great
lot of hitters he is using the bunt
when good judgment and common
sense demands it.
