Horses Knew When Season Was Over

Three horses that had been pastured
ON llucklc hill through the summer de-
cided that the season was over, and,
escaping from the pasture in some UNI
known manner, came sedately down the
hill looking for winter quarters. They
were taken in charge by G. +. Fairman
and their owners notified. 1t would
save great deal of time and trouble
| If the other stock in summer pastures
were as carefully trained.

Ira Vail (Hudson).

This is Ira Wallis third season as an
automobile race driver and his second
year OF national prominence in speed
way competition. He got his first
taste of speed while riding motor
cycles at Brighton Beach, where
Ralph milford discovered him in the
fal Of 1915 and gave him an oppor-
tunity to switch his allegiance to mo-
tor cars. Vail drove his first race at
Providence, taking seventh money
with the Mulford Special in the in
augural event held on the Narragan-
sett speedway. Last spring he aston
ished the railbirds by purchasing a
demonstrating car from the Hudson
dealer at Brooklyn and converting it
into racing machine that had the
speed and stamina to finish third
in the Metropolitan trophy and As
tor cup events, two of the fastest
contests run in 1916, and sixth in the
300-mile Chicago derby Vail earned
his job with, the Hudson company in
Omaha. He brought his converted
stock machine to the Gate City. but
shot piston during the practice. He
was given Ralph Mulford's Hudson
to drive and he drove such a splendid
race until he was forced out by en-
gine trouble that he was placed on
the Hudson payroll. He has justified
the confidence placed in him by finish
ing second at Cincinnati and eighth at
Chicago.

Ralph Mulford (Hudson)

II was back in 1906 that Ralph Null
ford first saw his name displayed in
black headlines on the sporting page.
He made a national reputation with
the Lozier team, winning three TWEEN
ty-four hour races in as many years
and becoming famous around the
gasoline circuit for his seeminkly un-
canny gift OF diagnosing engine trou.
Bile before the discovery was too late
In the first road racing carnival held
at Elgin, Mulford captured the fea-
ture event on the 1910 card and after
winning his class event at Fairmont
park and losing the Fairmont cup to
Len Iengle by only two seconds in
the same meet was awarded the 1910
road racing laurels. He came back
the following season and won the
Vanderbilt cup at Savannah. In the
Memorial day races on the Indian
apolis speedway Mulford has proved
a most consistent performer. He fin-
ished second in 1911, tenth in 1912,
seventh in 1918, eleventh in 1914 and
third in 1916 Last year he drove a
Peugeot into second place in, the
Omaha classic after a thrilling joust
with Dario Resta. Mulford was sec
ond in the recent Chicago derby and
marked up new worlds records for
100 and 200-mile distances during the
running of the race.

Evans Says Shine Ball is
lust Opposite of the Emery

Umpire Billy Evans has offered his
views on the controversy regarding
Eddie Cicotte's SHINE ball. "Cicottc is
working on a theory exactly opposite
to the emery ball." explains Evans.
"He vets a spot on his uniform and
on this he rubs ball until one side
is very white and smooth. The other
is rough and soiled. With the ball
properly smoothed and polished he
gets more of grip on one side than
on the other and the ball acts exactly
as the emery ball acted. Then again,
the effectiveness of this delivery is in
creased by the white and dark spots
on the ball, There is something OF an
optical illusion when the bright spot
is turning all the time as it does to
the batsman, But there is nothing
illegal about the delivery"

Fred Wagner Selected to
Be Starter at Omaha Race

Fred Wagner, sole owner and pro-
prietor of the noisiest pair of check
cred pants in captivity, will act as
starter at the Omaha speedway races,
July A.
Wagner is almost as great race
attraction as the drivers themselves.
Attired in his checkered trousers,
which can plainly be heard from the
remotest corner of the grandstand,
Wagner climbs almost on top of the
speeding automobile in giving them
the flag. Last year at Des Moines
Wagner got so close to Dave Lewis
that Lewis drove over one foot.
Wagner acted as starter at both
the previous Omaha races and has a
host of friends here.

AMATEURS BREAK
ATTENDANCE MARKS
Early Crowds Indicate ALI Rec
ords Will Be, Shattered Be-
fore Asbestos Drops
On Current Season.
By FRANK OUIGLEY.


The local municipal lots are the
scene OF much activity on Sundays
and even during the week many OF
the fans turn out to see the different
players 60 through their customary
routine of practice. To date the at
tendance at the Sunday games indi-
kcates that the records set last year
will be smashed to smithereens be-
fore the asbestos is dropped for 1917.
Heretofore it was soft pickings for
the City league to cop the class B
championship, but because of the fact
that the American and Metropolitan
leagues are dishing up a faster brand
of base ball this season, so it is a
cinch the interest will be keen towards
the expiration OF the season when the
pennant winners of these leagues en-
deavor to bury the class B champion
ship aspirations Of each other.
Last week the Metropolitan league
set pace III the banquet line for the
other leagues. Some time ago the
combined efforts OF the members OF
this organization held dance which
proved huge success, socially and f.
nancially. As consequence the
league generals decided to squander
the profit for banquet for the mag
mates of said league. The spread was
sumptuous affair, but not as lively
as base ball functions held before, be-
cause of the fact the happy water
was conspicuous by its absence. In
vited guests were Jake Isaacson, Will
liam Bloszies and Frank Quigley
When asked for toast Isaacson, be-
ing up to date, dished out milk toast
The balance OF the toasts were rather
dry. 1t was agreed to forget base
ball difficulties while the jollification
was on tap.
Dispute is Settled.
Last week at the meeting Of the
magnates of the American league that
protested game between the Walnut
Hill Merchants and Townsends was
decided to the satisfaction Of all con-
cerned. During their last show the
curtain dropped in the sixth act. Fitch
was the villain. Because the play in
question hinged on the actions o.
Fitch and the Townsends claimed he
did one thing and the Merchants
claimed the opposite the bosses unani-
mously decided that Mr.. Fitch be
granted another opportunity to tie up
the mix. The game will be continued
from the sixth inning with Pinault
of the Merchants on first, Fitch at
bat and one out, with the score | to
0 in favor of the gunners.
A lively debate is looked for next
Sunday when the All Nations under
the supervision Of Donaldson, the
champion colored slabster of the
world, tangle with the Brandeis
Stores. pride Of Omaha. Last sea-
son these two teams mixed several
times and all of their games won the
o. K. of the fans and it is a lead
pipe that good show will be on the
boards at Rourke park at 3:l5 p. m.

George Ruzane lpetroitl.

When George Buzane drives in a
speedway race the whistles on the pea
nut stands are silent, bootblack stands
are closed and the checkrooms of
hotels and restaurants are without at

OF the gasoline motor by repairing en-
gines used for carbonating the water

called at $3.50 p. m.
There are a lot of seats out at
Holmes park, but Ernie Holmes ex-
poets that good many will have to
stand today, because all the seats will
be taken, and he also expects his team,
the Holmes White Sox, to take a
game from the Armours. The last
argument between these two squads
resulted in a victory for the packers
by the score of 2 to |. These two
teams are knotted for position 2 in
the Greater Omaha league and the
Ramblers and DeVol Victors are in
the same boat, consequently the team
that garners the short end will auto
matically hook berth No. 5. Game
called at $3.50 p. m.
A starchy battle is anticipated by
the followers of both squads when
the World Herald ,Newsboys and
rrimble Bros. Juniors of the lnter-City
league tangle on the east diamond at
Elmwood park, $3.50 p. m. The other

be noticeable and the sour stuff pro-
duced will back vinegar house off

Soldiers in League.
Although William Victor, the car
OF the Mccarthy, did all in his power
to keep his boys in subsection, they
revolted and he was forced to abdicate
the throne and the team awaited. The
hole left open by their departure from
the American league has been plugged
up by the Soldiers stationed at Fort
Omaha. This Uncle Sam contingent
is under the personal supervision OF
Sergeant Mccullough, who by the
way is classy infielder. The Soldiers
will play on their home lot every
Sunday, so now the fans can be enter
tanned while visiting the Fort. The
shower baths and dressing rooms will
be open for the visiting players.
