AT ROURkE PARK
ON SEPTEMBER |
Omaha Naval Recruiting Sta
ton and Camp Dodge SOL
Gers Have Major
League Teams.

Omaha will have one more chance
this year to witness base ball game
between league players when The
Naval Recruiting Station team o.
Omaha clashes with the Camp Dodge
soldiers at Rourke park next Sunday
In the lineup of both teams will BE-
seen some of the best major and mi
nor league players.
The Omaha Submarine crew feels
confident of winning and doubly SC
when assured that a 36-piece naval
band would be on the scene from the
Great Lakes training station to cheer
them on. A concert will be rendered
by the bluejacket band, which re,
ceived its training under one of the
country's greatest bandmasters
Philip Sousa. The band concert will
start at 2 o'clock and the ball game
at p, m.
The khaki clad warriors are Of the
opinion that it takes more than mt
sic to win ball games and Lieutenant
Rothe, manager of the team, will
come to Omaha surrounded by a gal
axy of stars that would put up for
midable appearance against any OF
the major league teams. Lieutenant
Rothe says his team is composed of
all major league material and he feels
confident that they will be able to
take back the title from the sea dogs.
Chief Ross, who will manage the
recruiters, says his team will not be
composed entirely OF major leaguers,
but that class shows in every mem
Der of the team. He admits that the
doughboys will be able to give his
team an interesting tussle, but says
his boys never give up the ship and
will romp home with the winning
tally ere the nine innings have been
played.
Navy Has Record.
The Omaha team has gathered a
host Of admirers by winning l9 games

letics will prob; bly, be on the mound.
If not, Smith, the White Sox star,
