Portland and Vernon Due
To Get Boot From Coast

The problem OF the Pacific Coast
leagues makeup next season appears
difficult of solution At recent spec
ial meeting of the league magnates a
half hearted attempt was made to
vote Portland out of the league, and
Salt Lake and Vernon were also
unoficially scheduled to go,
But when Judge w. w. McCredie,
owner of the Portland franchise, said
that the ousting OF Portland would
be one of the best things that ever
happened to that team, the other mag
mates did not press the matter. Port
land is known to be pretty consist
ent money getter.
However, wiseacres figure that the
makeup of the 1918 league might be
something like this: San Francisco,
Oakland, Sacramento, Salt Lake,
Fresno and Los Angeles.
Portland, they say, is ,discontented,
and is bound to go, while Vernon Is
said to be white elephant" finan-
cially. However, Vernon gives Los
Angeles continuous base ball and
holds a position OF strategic i'm
portance on that account,
Sacramento has an actual request
before the house for another team In
the league. Bib business men of that
city are behind the move for a club,
and the Sacramento fans mount their
chairs at the mere suggestion that a
team might be brought to the capital.
Fresno, which sported a Coast league
team in years gone by, has made no
formal request, but has its ear to the
pipe line. and-will doubtless be heard
from when the time is ripe"

Late Results Favor "WetS"
In Heated Ohio Election

Cincinnati, O., Nov. THE wet
and dry fight in Ohio seesawed here
today and through a disclosure of a
mistake alleged to have been made in
the Hamilton county tabulation, the
anti-prohibition forces claimed the
lead tonight by majority of approx
mately 1000 votes with 246 precincts
yet to be heard from.
Much of election night the drys
were in the lead. The vets forged
ahead in their turn and kept at it for
hours though their advantage steadily
dwindled and at noon today the drys
overlook them. With more than 1000
apparent majority the drys were
bombed from their hard-won trench
by the report of the mistake. The
bomb was exploded by H. L. Gibson,
manager of the vets In the Ohio
campaign, who asserted than an error
which cost the vets 10000 votes had
been discovered in the Hamilton
county (CincinnatD tabulation.
1t was not long before the assertion

ASKS $4,000 AS
BALM FOR HEART
Says Husband is Dangerous
Man Because He Drives
Auto Much Too
Fast.

Marie Zahnow, SUNG her husband,
Robert, for divorce, wants $4,000 ali
mony to salve her wounded feelings
for being left standing on the street
corners in Omaha while her husband
went into the saloons in imbibe. Also
he hit her on the head with the broom,
she says, and cruelty mistreated her
in other ways and humiliated her be-
fore the children and neighbors.
Zahnow is a wealthy farmer living
near West Point, Neb. His farm, ac-
cording TO he petition, is worth $60,-
900 and he receives $4,000 apnual in
come. But he is a dangerous man to
live with, she AYERS. He was in the
habit of driving nine miles homeward
bound in IS minutes, among other
things.
The limit was reached, she said on
the witness stand Wednesday, when
he made slurring reference to wo-
men who wore high heeled shoes at
the Sunday dinner table, we'll know
ing that she, his wife, did in fact wear
such high heeled shoes. This was too
much. She declared she would leave
him. He broke the dishes and Sec
onded the motion, and she left. Judge
Day is looking into the matter.

$40 Points and Uncrossed
Goal Line; State Title
at Stake.

Lincoln aund Omaha Central High,
bitter rivals for a decade, tangle to-
morrow on the Creighton gridiron to
decide the state interscholastic title.
Each school has a team combining
speed, weight and team work. The
two teams are evenly matched in ev-
cry department save that Lincoln is
reported to lack perfection in the
open game that Milligan's lads pos
\sess. - Lincoln, on the other hand, is
reported to have developed line
plunging game that rivals European
tank" in effectiveness. Although
local fans favor Omaha to gather in
the honors, Lincoln is just as conf
dent for victory.
The local team has the advantage
from the viewpoint of comparative
scores. The boys from the hill have
totaled 240 points this season and
have but three points against them,
a field goal by Oswald of South High.
Their goal has not been crossed this
season. The Capital City lads have
amassed only 81 counters and have
allowed their goal to be crossed four
times by East Des Mones.
The two second teams will stage
a curtain raiser. The Lincoln seconds
have a clean record but the Omaha
reserves will give them the old fight
and hope to come off victors.
School spirit is at its highest pitch
in both schools and tickets are being
bought in large quantities by business
men and alumni. Central hopes that
her two teams together will run up

unexpected speaker at the mass meet
