ROURKES RING Up
ANOTHER VICTORY
Wanop Julesburg, Colo, Outfit
in Sandstone by Score of
Sixteen to Seven.
SEASON OPENS TODAY
Drawn for
The Bee
by
George
McManus

Julesburg, Colo, April H.-(Spe.
cial telegram)-Pa Rourke's hopefuls
made it ten straight victories for the
spring preseason series by defeating
the Julesburg nine by a score of IL
to 7 here today, in conflict staged
on an open lot in Colorado sand
storm.
Like the fray at Grand Island, to-
days clash was turned into a farce
comedy, with Cy Forsythe, the cele-
brated tango kid, starring in the fea-
tured roll of hurler. Cyrus had "old
Lizzie" as he calls his curved ball,
working in fine style and he made the
Julesburg sluggers keep on foot in the
water bucket all the time.
The Rourke's got away to flying
start in the opening round by pound
ing young Pendleton, who once tried
out with Omaha, for five runs. After
the third inning, when it was mani
testify apparent the locals could not
cope with the Western leaguers, the
burlesque began. the antics of the
Noul NC hSCPiuh tiiS CIV VI 81 idilS
in constant uproar.
Joe "Stecher" Chemeler, who start
ed the pitching, was the hitting star
of the matinee. The Dodge county
lad whanged out four hits, including
one homer and two doubles. Marty
King and Tony Brottem also made
four hits and circuit clout each.
The Rourke's left Julesburg at mid
night for Denver, where today they
open the 1917 Western league season.
Otto Merz or Marty O'Toole will
do the twirling, while Brotten will
be behind the bat. NJ
