Meadow and Holmes Garden, were
loaded to capacity.
The sun was on the Job the skies
were clear and the day ideal for base
ball. 1t gave the amateurs an oppor-
tunity to get away to flying start
and they did Just that little thing.
Even the wise boys did not predict
such enthusiasm as was manifested by
the amateur fans last Sunday. All
past records seem doomed to be
eclipsed this year.
The Armours. 1916 city champions,

known as Murphy Did Its. started the
year with victory. This troupe
boxed the class B championship last

the Murphys would be more secure
than loan to Germany.

MANIA opens the 1917 Western
league season at home Tues
day. 1t is up to every loyal
" ian 10 make it his business
TO attend. Omaha won the
Cappcr cup for the largest opening
day attendance last year. The Rotary
club won it for Omaha by buying
1000 or so tickets Tor distribution
among school children. The cup is
up for competition again this year and
Omaha should win it. With the ex-
ception Of Denver Omaha is the larg-
est city in the Western league As
Denver drew only 1908 persons open
ing day, the Colorado city is out OF it,
Only a city of smaller population can
win it from Omaha and Omaha fans
should see to it that nothing of the
kind occurs. There is another reason
why all Omaha should turn out for
the opening game Tuesday. The
Rourkes won the Western league pen
nant last year. Pa Rourke spent a
large sum to obtain the talent to bring
the championship to Omaha and his
reward was none too liberal last year.
A record brcaking opening day at
tendance would be fitting expression
of gratitude. SO for the sake of
Omaha, the best city in the Western
league, it is up to the fans to see that
every seat in Rourke park is occupied
when Omaha and Joplin clash Tues
day.

was in prosress until the sound of

speed. They appeared to be at a lower
altitude than in the last raid. when
they eNacted such Il heavy toll of life

Damage was done in the heart of
London by the raid which was one OF
the greatest. if not the greatest ever
attempted by the Germans over the

ment says, is levelling all obstacles.
The Russians have captured the for

lage of Godov.
Further gains have been made by the
Russian forces in Galacia. Advices
from the front record the taking of
first line trenches by troops of the
Eleventh army. who also at some
points captured second line positions.
The opening of the battle of Pinsk
marks the second effort of the Russians
after the long period of quiet, which
followed the revolution. The point Sc
lected for this attack is about 175 miles
north of the sector in East Galicia
along which the Russians made their
first onslaught resulting in the capture

great marsh and swamp region of
White Russia, about on a line east Of
Warsaw.
