.0LOFIELD MAY WITHDRAW
CAR FROM AUTO DERBY
BY BARNEY oIpFIELp.

After spending $4,000 TO produce an
American car TO enter in speedway
races and making real effort to bring
records for automobile speed to this
ceuntry's product, am told that GER
tain interests are attempting to have
the entry of my newest speed creation
barred from the automobile derby Sat
urday.
From the Very start of the automo-
bile racing sport l have been responsi-
bic for innovations in automobile con-
strucJfon that enabled me to set new
records l have always had to fight to
get my new ideas and cars accepted.
and ! am not surprised that my inclos-
ed racing car has been attacked 1t is
the ultimate in racing car construction
and within five years no other type will
be seen on race course The car is
neither a freak nor a joke. and I will
prove 1t to the public before many
weeks.
1t is very probable that will ask
the referee for the privilege of with
drawing the ear from Saturdays race
This will save the meddlers from going
to the trouble of having it barred.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE unbreak-
able heart of Ivan Olson is carrying
him TO new heights Of glory. His cour-
ageous ball playing, his fast thinking
brain, and the pure force of his grit
are winning back for him his old place
as shortstop for the Brooklyn National
league team.
Bunny Fabrique. hailed as a wonder
the man who would put the Dodgers
in the running again--is holding Gown
a bench position. His fielding. sensa-
tional when the season opened has
turned out lately to be nothing more
than ordinary, his hitting, prominent in
the early days of the campaign, has
fallen off until it resembles pitchers

Olson was stationed on the bench
when the Brooklyns started on the
march through tho season. Occasional
ly he Allied in as a pinch hitter or run

lineup for short time. His main use

occupied one coacher's box and Wilbert
Robinson the other.
Olson was game. He didn't blink
was to be used only as a substitute.
He merely set his teeth and stuck to. it..
Olson is back there now. He's play
ing better ball than he did last summer
but he still needs Improvement to be
called on a par with other National
league shortstops. His hitting, always
timely. is about the same But the
quick brain of Ivan, his nerve on bases

to the lineup they have been winning.
Olson never has been a star. Nerve

heart is iron. He's good for at least

Johnny Dennison
Lands Quartet Of
New Star Athletes

Johnny ,Dennison, manager Of the
new Melady Bros. team of the
Greater Omaha league, announced
five new signed contracts yesterday.
They are Chugs Ryan. shortstop; Os-
car Grant, pitcher; Phil Tracy, third
baseman; Ernie Rushenberg, catcher;
Johnny Shields, catcher. 4.
The acquisition of Chugs Ryan
means probably that Ed Minikus will
be shifted to second. Ryan was the
shortstopper for the Armours last
year and was regarded as one of the
best halfway men in Omaha. Mini
kus and Ryan should make a great
combination around the keystone
sack.
Tracy was with the Gas Company
last year. He was member Of the
Luxus in 1915. Grant hurled for the
Castle Hotels in the Saturday league
last year and was some hurler. Grant
and Guy Holland will do the bulk Of
the twirling for the Meladys this
year, although Johnny is said to have
a third pitcher in mind. Rushenberg
is a Luxus veteran. Shields is a
graduate of class B company, but
Dennison is confident he is of class
A calibre. He believes Shields will
prove to be a winner.
Dennison's crew will play their
first practice game of the season Sum-
day at Melady Mead low, Twenty
fourth and Vinton streets. The Town.
sends will oppose them.

OMAHA,

Win Big Sum When
!. Referee Awards Go

In the neighborhood Of $1,000
changed hands Wednesday night at
Shelton, Neb., on wrestling match
between Jim Londos and John Pesek.
After thirty-seven minutes OF wrest-
ling, Londos was disqualified, the ref
cree charging Londos was using
strangle hold. Londos insists he had
Pesek in a head chancery and bar
lock and that the strangle hold was
an .hallucination OF the referee, who,
he charges, was a Pesek man.
Londos was backed to the sum OF
81 LOO by friends. In addition num-
Der of Grand Island sportsmen
dropped big chunks which, it is be-
lieved, raised the total lost to S2,O0O.
A switch was made in the referee
at the last moment. The referee orig
inally decided upon was to be an out
slider. Just before Londos and Pesek
climbed into the ropes Martin Slat-
terry, Pesek's manager, refused to ac-
cept the agreed-upon referee and de-
manded local man.
When Slattery made this move,
Chris Jordan. who went out to Shell
ton from Omaha with Londos, tried
to get Londos to call off the match,
but Jim said he was willing to take
a chance. Then Jordan tried to get
all bets declared off, but the Shelton
ties refused. .-
After the disqualification Of Lon
dos, Slattery said Pesek would wres-
tle Londos again in Omaha or any
other place. 1t is probable efforts
will be made to bring them together

SMITH COMES TO TOWN

The 1917 Rourkes will be seen in
action against real opponents for the
first time this year today. They bat
tie the Chicago Cubs second team at
Rourke park this afternoon at 8
o'clock.
The Cubs scrubs have almost as
formidable a lineup as the first team
and several of the players will be
regulars when the two mines are
combined.

Cubs is Pickles Dilhoefer, the young
catcher secured from Milwaukee. Dill
hoefer is heralded as a second Ray
Schalk. He is about the same build
and acts very similarly to the White
Sox star.
Rollie Zeider, veteran of many CAM
paigns, is another member of the Sec
onds. Nick Carter, hurler, who came
to the Cubs last fall after sensa-
tional year at Indianapolis, is an
other. Hunter, who plays short, was
with the Giants and Cubs all last
year.
Rex Dawson, former Lincoln pitch
er, is slated to be regular with the
Cubs this season. Tom Seaton, for
mer Philly and Federal star, is a
member of the Cubs hurlers who will
be here this afternoon.
And, last, but not least, Earl Smith,
star Rourke gardener last season,
breezes into town today with the
Windy City outfit. Earl will be
dropped here and take up an Omaha
uniform after today's fray. - @'N4@'
