Trapshooting Tour Planned
for Benefit of Red Cross

A fall tour of trapshooters for the
benefit of the Red Cross is being
talked among leading scatter gun
cracks and would undoubtedly draw
large crowds. The idea is at least
worthy of consideration.
Trapshooters have been doing their
best-not their bit-for the Red
Cross ever since the war started.
One of the leading professionals re-
Gently said: mo sport has done more
for the Red Cross than trapshooting,
and we will see to it that no sport
will do more"
They have donated ambulances.
Every state shoot has donated a por-
ton of the purses to the Red Cross
and several thousand dollars was rea-
lzed at the Grand American handi-
cap. In addition to this practically
every gun club has held one or more
Red Cross benefit shoots.
Ammunition companies as well as
the shooters favor the idea and will
undoubtedly complete the plans be-
fore cold weather. Nebraska cracks
favor the idea and will undoubtedly
have one or more representatives on
the tour.
The suggestion which apparently
meets with the most favor is compe-
tition between the eastern and west
ern cracks. The two sections of the
country have had little opportunity to
meet in competition of this kind and
should present good drawing card.

WINS
Way TO FINAL
TENNIS RECORD
"CaIifornia Meteor" Defeats
Indoor Champion; Will Next
Meet TiIden or Jap For
TituIar Hon0rS.

Forest Hills, N. Y, Aug. Sir,
Lindley Murray, California tennis
player representing the Niagara Falls
tennis club, won his way into the
final round of the 37th annual turf
court championship here today and
next Tuesday will meet either w. T.
Tilden, jr., of Philadelphia, or Ichiya
Kumagae for titular honors. Murray
won his place in the final by defeat
ing S. Howard Voshell, national in
door champion, who entered from the
Terrace club of Brooklyn, Ga, 6-3,
|8-6.
Kumagae advanced from the fifth
round to the semi-final at the expense
of Lyle E. Mahan, winning at 4-6;
6-3; 90; 6-1. The Japanese will play
Tilden Monday and the winner will
be bracketed with Murray.
Conditions were unfavorable for
fast play. A high and fitful wind and
heavy atmosphere made it difficult
to hold racquets firmly or control
the ball. The indoor champion gave
Murray some of the hardest opposi-
ton that the Californian has faced
in the tournament. Murray had the
advantage of his smashing service and
ability to hold the net at critical mo-
ments.
Plays Service Line.
He did not elect to take stand at
the barrier, frequently playing
from the service line, much Of the
time with softer strokes than is his
usual custom. He forced much of
the play to Voshelps back hand and
the latter was obliged to depend for
the majority of his points to passing
shots close to the side lines, inter-
spersed with an occasional sharp
cross-court smash which seldom
was more than a foot or two beyond
the net in its flight.
Murray easily held the upper hand
in the first two sets, but with the
match turning against him in the
third set Voshell lifted his game to
remarkable heights and by taking
desperate chances, in which fortune
appeared to favor his play, ran into
a lead of AZ. His footing and rae
quet work at this point elected
rounds of applause. 1t appeared as
though the match would go into ex-
ira sets, for Voshell was driving and
chopping the ball to inaccessible
points of the court, notwithstanding
the fact that Murray tried for every
thing.
At this stage Murray changed his
tactics and anchored himself at the
barrier and by spread-eagling, first
at one side and then at the other,
broke through Voshell's service and
offensive until he had regained the
lead. The Brooklyn player fought
for every point and the rallies were
both long and brilliant, but Murray S
great agility and net smashing, COM
bined with his service aceing, finally
gave him the lead of 7-6. Voshell
threw away his last chance of victory
by three double faults in the closing
game.

BASE BALL FANS
WILL SEE FAST

Major Leaguers Will Cavort at
ROurke Park and Amateur
Titles Will Be Settled
for Year.

A sporting calendar of exceptional
merit faces the base ball fan of Om-
aha today. At Rourke park the Army
and Navy game will be the headliner
and should attract a large crowd.
The navy will be represented by a
team of ex-leagures, many of whom
quit major league teams to enlist in
the navy. They represent the Om-
aha Naval Recruiting station. They
will have as their opponents the fast
Camp Dodge team. Every member
of this team has played league ball
and they are considered one of the
fastest teams in any cantonment liz
the United States.
Smith, formerly with the Chicago
Americans, will probably be on the
mound for the deep sea boys. He
will have as his battery mate, Will
liams, formerly with the New York
Americans. Freynick, formerly with
the Philadelphia Americans. will be
used as a substitute pitcher. Several
familiar faces to Omaha fans will be
seen in the navy lineup. Lyck of
Sioux City, Nye of the St. Louis
Browns, Krug of the New York
Americans, Wahl of Topeka, Dygert
of the State league and Towle of the
State university will be seen in the
bluejackt uniform.
The khaki clad warriors from Camp
Dodge will be we'll fortified with
big league material. Flattery of
Seattle and Maniham of the Uni
versity of Chicago, will do the hurting
and Agnew of the Boston Americans,
will be seen behind the bat. Rumler

Philadelphia Americans and Doven-
berg, Boston Anne. leans, will be seen
in the outfield. The infield will be
composed of equally fast material.
A percentage of the gate receipts
will be given by the military players
to the Red Cross and Salvation Army
Tho Great Lakes naval training sta
tion band will give concert during
the game and an hour concert will
be played before the start of the
game. The game will start at 8
o'clock.
Omaha Amateur Games.
Championship games will be the
bill of fare at the Omaha amateur
parks and fast gar1es are a certainty.
The last scheduled game in the Great
er Omaha league will be played Sun
day. 1t is probable, however, that
additional games will have to be
played to decide the team standing.
At Luxus park a double header will
be played. The Armours and Longe-
ways, who tied for first place in the
Greater Omaha league. will battle
the Beselins and Holmes White Sox
respectively. A loss by either team
will cost the championship.
At Holmes park the final game of
the city championship series of
Classes B and c of the Omaha ANA
teur Base Ball association will be
played. All four OF the contesting
teams are tied, having won and lost
one game each. The Daily News and
J. B. Roots will play the opening
game and the National Cash Regis
ters and Sample Harts will finish the
program.

stiff schedule of 10 games ahead, Gen.
trail High will open its 1918 foot ball
season on September %, when Coach
Mulligan will send a new combination
to meet Coach Green's eleven from
the High School of Commerce.
Coach Harold Mulligan is the rock

Uncle Sam has not yet claimed the
services of the Central mentor, al
though a call may come at any time
during the season.
Little Dave" Noble, the only back
field man to return, is expected to
have a large part in determining the
outcome of the season. Noble de-
veloped some tank" action tactics
during the climb up the championship
ladder last season, which were always
good for substantial gains. Captain
Art Logan, Ed Moser, Chris Crowell
and Schafer are the only other men
to return. Bob Russell will not be
among the men to answer Mulligan's

The contest with the Joetown lads
billed for Turkey day is looked for
ward to as the toughest of the 10.
The Missouri lads have big sore
spot over their defeat last year at the
hands of the Central warriors and
their ambition of the season is to take
home the Omaha scalp when they
leave here after the fray.
North Des Moines High is new

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 3l.-Capt, Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, who this week
stepped from the spotlight of base
ball into the chemical division of the
army, took with him the 1918 bat
ting honors OF the American league.
AS the Detroit star stood bowing
before the falling curtain of the game,
fandom realized that he had taken
these first honors every year since
1912 with the exception of one season.
when, in 1916, iris Speaker nosed him
out. Cobb's average. according to
figures released today, is .377. Burns
of Philadelphia is second with $40,

baseman, third with 1897.
Cobb, however, did not excel in
base stealing for Sisler, with total of
40 leads by six over the Georgian.
Chapman of Cleveland is sandwiched
between them with So. Chapman is
leading in sacrifice hitting with "a.
while Shean of Boston is close up
with SO and McInnis, Shean's team
mate, next with 80.
Babe" Ruth, the Boston star, and
Walker of Philadelphia remain tied
for honors in the home run hitting

There are only two members of the

to finish the race with thieving hon-
