ent playing during the regular sea-
son maintained position at the top
of the Greater Omaha league and
were only crowded out of the title
after post-season series OF eight
games. In the playoff for second
place they won easily from the
Longeways after facing a pitcher
conceded to be the best i'll the twin
cities, Manske of the LongewayS.
Armours Scrappy Team.
The Packers have scrappy team
that can always be relied upon to
play FAST bali and they do not re-
lease their claim as the better team
until the last man is out in the
ninth inning. They will have a
slight edge over the All Star organi-
za;ion due to the fact that they
have played together during the EN-
tire season and have team work
and familiarity of the playing char
acteristics of each players that at
the critical moment of game may
swing the tide OF battle.
To offset the organization Of the
amateurs the professionals have the
experience of league playing and
the cool, Scientific manner of play

combats. Every position will be oc-
cupied by an experienced and re-
liable player. (
Raglan Heads All Stars.
Leading the All Stars in their Of
fensive against the amateurs will be
General Pat Raglan of the Boston
Nationals, former Rourke, and one
of the most experienced pitchers in
the game today. While the "old
smoke" which made such Fit with
Omaha fans is now missing it has
been replaced by curves and control
which combined with the cunning
of the willy, Irishman made him one
of the most feared boxmen in the
major leagues.
Jones of the Council Bluffs Longe-
ways will catch for the All Stars.
He is considered by fans to be the
most promising youngster for a
league berth now playing in amateur
circles. His battery mate, Manske,
will be on Hand in case Raglan shows
signs of weakening.

San Francisco was the first city

The boxing event scheduled for

tween Jack Dempsey and Battling

battler can thank the epidemic for
saving him from going "fluey" as

the name of Omaha on the sport

A REMINDER

Governor f. L. Philip, who is
a candidate for the nomination Of
Governor Of Wisconsin is not en-
titled to the support of the colored
people, because it is a known fact
that he is prejudiced toward them.
A close observation Of his ac-
tons in the past will show that
here and there the real man has
found occasion to portray himself.
The governor before his cleo
ton found time to address his col
orcd brethren at every invitation
extended him, and promised them
should they honor him with their
suffrage and he be elevated to the
office Of Governor he would give
them recognition and chance
and a square deal. For four long
years he has given the Race no
recognition and when asked to adj
dress their gathering he has al
ways been too busy and send his
messenger as his representative.
This is his right but the Negroes
of Wisconsin object and resent
such practices, not because the

The only votes against the bill
were east by Representative Mey-
er London Of New York, Socialist.

defeated for denomination because
of his opposition to war measures.

Amendments to the bill agreed
to by the house provide that men,

tors are not amenable to the draft !:
that farmers are to be placed in
deferred classes; that the provost
marshal general may cause men to
be re-eXamined after their cases
have been decided by local boards,

These hats are distinctly youthful in design-the breezy young American is written in their smart lines and simple construction. Most of the hats of this character are made of silk or satin-satin is. in fact, in the ascen- dent-but they may be made of other fabrics. as broadcloth. duvetyn. velvet, and occasionally fur fabrics, or other of the soft and very pliable materials which are used in coats and frocks. For the young woman at school a more appropriate little group could hardly be assembled than the four models shown above.
 At the top sprightly small hat is made of satin. It has a soft crown and narrow brim plaited and turned up at the front. Two strands of those colored wooden beads that milliners have so often found a place for on this seasons hats are festooned across the front.
 The tam in all sorts of interpreta- tons, from the most casual to the most dignified of styles. appears in millinery for both maid and matron. Al the left tam made of navy blue tafeta reminds one of the fiat hats of the navy. It has a corded band about the head and many girls can
