DISASTROUS FIRE
FAILS TO HALT RACES
Scene at Burning of Pimlico Track
Will Long Be Remembered.
By GEORGE B. MORRIS

Pimlico Race Track, Nd, May 1.-Fire
OF an unknown origin destroyed several
valuable horses this morning at the Pim-
lco track Among them were three, the
property of DR.. ]. S. Tyree, the WASH
lngton chemist. Among the horses de-
stroyed were Miss Sanfara, Billy MCGEE
and another 2-year-old. the property
of Tyree
Carbide, who recently won at 100 to
at HaVre de Grace. was so seriously in
1ured that he will be unable to race
again, but in all probability will be re-
tained for breeding purposes. 1t was a
scene that will long be remembered by
those who witnessed the fire. As soon as
the names were discovered about 200
horses were turned loose in the infeld
and on the race track proper.
These maddened animals raced around
the course dozens of times until they fell
with exhaustion. Battery, a. jumping
horse, went the course so many times
that he broke down and will never race
again.
At one time there were at least twenty
five horses all punched together racing
around the course. and 1t took until late
in the morning to catch the rnaddened
horses and return them to their stalls.
Luckily. the fire was extingIIished be-
hSAN ~ sPitdu " olIlcT WHICH. are
In close proximity to those destroyed
There are at least 1000 horses at the
course and the fire might have been a
great deal more disastrous than 1t really
was. The racing today was of high
class, and large attendance was on
hand for the opening day.
The course was heavy after a hard
rain, and scratches were numerous. Just
prior to the running of the first race a
heavy storm set in and hailstones as
big as 5O-cent pieces came down In
punches all over the course.
The jumping race was a farce, when
Sharpshooter and Kildore both fell at
the third jump. The field was spread
out a sixteenth of a mile apart when
the contest was over
Nightstick easily annexed the sixth race
from good field, including Crimper and
other good ones. Nightstick had a good
package on his back, but this did not
stop him. and he won by two lengths
from Crimper, the public's choice.

YANKEES k2E HALTED
BY HACKENSACK HARRY
Southpsw Harper Is Wild. But Ma
tionals Register Victory.

Cellar. champions are not supposed to
show much class, but Clark Grffiiths Ma
tons' who have, during the past few
weeks. been making a strong bid for
the cellar title. reversed all cogs yester-
day when BIZ Donovan's Yankees were
taken into camp by s-to-2 count
The Nationals displayed some real de-
fensfve snd offensive baseball and ap-
peared once more to be contenders In
the expected close race in Ban Johnson's
circuit
Harry Harper, the Hackensaek junk
dealer, was given his first opportunity to
show his wares. and outside Of being
tribe Wild he looked to be the same south
paw that SERVED them up for the Grin-
men In 1916
Harper crippled his arm last fall when
he was hit on the shoulder by batted
ball and at the Augusta training camp
this spring he was put under the care OF
an osteopath- From the form shown by
the big southpaw yesterday, he has fully
recovered and should hang up many VIC
tories FOR the Nationals.
Opposed to Harper was Bob shawkey,
who formerly pastimed with Connie
Mack's Athletics. Shawkey's shoots
proved easy pickings for the Old Fox's
clouters. but inability to bunch the safe
blows held down the Nationals total
Harper allowed the visitors but four
safe vhacks during the nine innings. but
his generosity In issuing free transporta-
tons paved the way for the Yankees
two tallies.
Before Shawkey could answer the call
Of many signs, the Nationals jumped on
his delivery Joe Judge started the run
getting with a slashing triple to right
field and scored when Foster poked one
down the third-base line Milan followed
with a double to center. but Gilhooley
held 'sFatirna" at the third corner.
Rice hit TO Baker. who caught Foster
at the plate, and Menoskey forced Milan
by the Maisel to Nunamaker route. Ray
Morgan then smashed one to center field
and Rice crossed the pan.
The Yankees came back and evened the
count In the third when Harper started
a merry-go-round for the Yankees by
passing shawkey, Gilhooley hit to CEN
ter field and Shawkey advanced to third.
Harper then filled the cushions by passing
High and made possible the Yankees
first run by issuing free transportation
to MaiseL
Pipp drove the second and final run
OF the Yankees across when he lifted a
long ny to Milan, which scored GiIhooley.
but Baker ended the run-getting by
grounding out to Judge.
Ray Morgan kept up his consistent
work in the sixth when Sammy Rice led
on with double over Lee Magee's head.
Menoskey attempted to sacrifice him to
third, but pushed the ball over Bakers
head for a safe blow. Morgan then drove
a long fly to Hughey High in left field,
and Rice beat the throw to the plate.
The score:

One Dead, Two Injured
In Aurora Auto Accident

Aurora, Neb., June 14.-(Specia
Telegram. )--Verne Parsons of Grand
Island is dead, and Witham Mitchell
and Neal B. Navarree, are in a critical
condition, by reason of the overturn,
ing of Mitchell's car this afternoon.
Mitchell was at the wheel and was
apparently speeding. He is the owner
Of the Nicholson theater of Grand
Island and the Airdome of Aurora
and was bringing Mr.. and Mrs.
Navarro to Aurora for the evening
performance.
Parsons was his moving picture
machine operator.
Mrs. Navarree, whose stage name
is Lore, the girl mystic, was the only
occupant Of the car who was unin-
jured.
1t is thought that the front wheels
OF the car entered rut, which the
hind wheels missed. Mitchell was
trying to straighten the ear when the
rear wheels skidded across the road
and the speed was such as to roll
the car over.
Mitchell has three broken ribs, a
broken shouldet and perhaps internal
injuries. Navarro is still unconscious
from the severe conclusion of the
brain.

Citizens Of Crete Mark
Lincoln Dorchester Cutoff

Crete. Neb,, June 14,-(Special.) -
Through the efforts of the CONNER
cial clubs and citizens of Crete and
Dorchester the automobile highway
now known as the Lincoln-C Crete
Dorchester cutoff has been estab-
lished. Tourists have long needed a
shorter and safer road than the Sec
tion of the o. L. D. highway between
] .incoln and Dorchester via Milford.
That route crosses the railroad many
times. most of them being grade
crossings. The L. c. D. Cutoff is
much shorter and crosses the rail-
road only twice. The Commercial
clubs have painted the telephone
poles along the highway a broad
band of white and at every crossroad
the colors, orange and black, are al
ed. They are also sending to all the
hotels and GARAGES along t',e o. L. D.
maps Of the highway showing where
me cutoff is located and also showing
how much shorter it is than the Mil
ford section.

PAGEANT PLEASES
CROWD AT LINCOLN
Scenic Effects of Unusual
Beauty and Musical Features
Especially Pleasing to On
lockers at Spectacle.
tFrom a Staff Correspondsnt.)

Lincoln, Neb, June l4.-(Speeia
Telegram. Pageant of Nebraska
was witnessed tonight by crowd Of
5000 people.
The forest Of real pine trees at the
foot of scenic mountain made a
beautiful background for the bright
colored and hlmy costumes of the
young girls who danced to the dreamy
music OF the large orchestra.
The pageant. as depicted by Prof.
II. B. Scott and his 800 assistants, gives
history of Nebraska from the time
when the first OK team crossed it's
broad. but then unfertie prairies, up
TO the present time.
The story. which was written by
Hartley 3 Alexander, was beauti-
fully carried out, the music effects be-
ing especially pleasing. ..
Spirit of the West"
The pari which was, perhaps, the
most pleasing was that carried out
by Miss Charlotte Whedon as the
spirit OF the West Another very
impressive part was the interpreta-
ton Of the Leader OF the Voyagers,"
by G, H. Waters. The solo parts
were we'll given and repeatedly en-
cored. |
Miss Fay Lichtensteiger, with
chorus OF fairy children representing
Golden Hopes" made another i'm
prcssive part CT the pageant. The
dance Of the harvest and corn maid
ems, was another beautiful sight.
The state song, Nebraska" was
cleverly woven into the production In
several places and finally presented in
chorus as Nebraska" symbolized by
tiny Miss Mary Young, danced to the
centet OF the stage under the clasped
hands OF the north and the south. The
historical characters, including Ed
Pettis as President Jefferson. Sterling
Mutz as James Monroe, r. D. Scott
as Napoleon, Victor Krause, as Tai
leyrand, Guy Chambers, Joseph
Johnson, John Bushnell and Dwight
Thomas, as Senators Douglas, Dixon,
Summer and Seward and Paul Dob
son as President Johnson, were i'm
pressiye and representative OF the
speaking parts. -. ..v
The costuming was OF the highest
degree Of art and Of greatest beauty.
Some OF the costumes worn by Miss
Charlotte Whedon as THE Spirit of
the West" and Columbia" and. the
ehoruses OF fields and prairies," the
golden hopes and Corn maidens"
were wonderful in their beauty. The
Indians in a solo OF which Mr.. Comp
ton Scouts as the chieftain presented
a difficult tencr solo, were savagely
realistic. Other remarkable costume
creations were in the choruses OF
"grasshoppers" and birds" the "pio-
neers" and "voyagcrs,". and all of the
historical characterizations. Miss
Alice Howell as Liberty" spoke the
eloquent closing lines OF the presen.
tation.
