Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-06-22
By WILLIAM O. BLOzIES.

Since the Omaha Western leag-
uers are on the road today, fans and
followers of the national pastime
will have the opportunity to- witness
their favorite amateur leaguers sin
action this afternoon and one of the
best programs of the season is
promised them when the teams of
the various leagues, affiliated with
the Municipal Amateur Baseball as
ISOLATION clash at the Muny fields
in their race for the 1919 Champion
ship honors.
After a two-week lay-off the
Greater Omaha league has resumed
playing and this afternoon the fans
will have a chance to see the crack
Class A leaguers battle, if weather
permits.
Two of the best teams in the
league are pitted against each other
at Thirty -second and Dewey aven,ie
and real treat is in store for the
lovers of amateur base ball.
Marty O'Toole's crack Brandeis
Store team, composed of Well-known
stars, former professionals, and the
cream of the local sand lots. will
lock horns with the Nebraska Power
Co. aggregation, also composed Of
crack local amateur players. Said
contest is scheduled at $50 o'clock.
This will mark the first appear
ance of the Brandeis team in the
city for the 1919 season and all roads
should lead to where this contest is
scheduled, as it will be the best at
traction of the day. O'Toole, will
probably start the pitching for his
team-in order to give the local
followers an his many Omaha ad-
mirers another chance to see him
perfcrm on the hurting mound.
Marty, throughout his many years
of professional pitching, made
brilliant showing while in the major
and minor leagues, and while with
Pa Rouke's aggregation, pitched the
Omaha Western leaguers on to
many victories. Pinelton, also a
former Western Lacquer, is on Mar
tvs pitching staff and will be- given
chance to show the amateur fans
what he is made of.
The Power lads are out to cap
ture the Brandeis' scalp and as they
have one of the scrappiest bunch OF
ball players that ever donned uni

cox NOT TO STOP
WILLARD FIGHT
FOR POLITICIANS
Accuses Ohio House of Max
ing Deliberate Attempt to
\ Deceive Public About
= Coming Bout.

Columbus, O., June 2l.-With ref
erence to the situation affecting the
ard-Dempsey contest, Governor
Cox today made the following state
nent:
"The propaganda begun a short
time ago under political auspices is
based upon such a deliberate at
tempt to deceive the public that it
would seem proper for me to give
the facts. Under the laws of this
state, and their Interpretation by
the courts, boxing contests are
legalized under direction of local
municipal authorities.
Several attempts within the Il,
few weeks were made in the Ohio
legislature to change existing stat
utes on the subject, but without re-
suit. Failing in this one branch, Of
the legislature passed a resolution
requesting me to interfere with the
contest.
"In other words, after the assem-
bly, itself failed to give me legal att
thority, one branch of it urged ME
to proceed without right. Dicta-
torship has not even prospered in
Russia, and the executive policy of
Ohio will be within the laws of the
commonwealth so long as l am
governor.
Boxing contests are conducted i'll
at least a dozen of our largest cit
les. During the winter they were
held within a square of the legisla-
tive halls in Columbus and were at
tended in goodly numbers by me T.
bers of the legislature. If the law
is changed, giving me the right of
interference, it will be exercised,
but l shall not meet hypocrisy with
usurpation of power"

suildIno Up a PRIVILEGED Glass.

Warsaw Bulletin: A representative
of the Illinois State Automobile ass o.
cation was in Carthage last week
for the purpose of securing members
for the organization, the purpose Of
which is to gather within It's fold al
persons in the. state who are inter-
Iested in self-propeIed vehicles; 10
Ico-opeate in securing rational regu-
lation and the enactment and en-
forcement OF proper laws and regu-
lations governing the use Of motor
vehicles; to protect owners and
users Of motor vehicles against un-
just and unreasonable legislation; to
promote the construction and main
tenance of good roads; to generally
maintain the rights and privileges of
all persons who own or are inter
national organization with which this
association shall be affiliated. In
other words, the poor devil who has
to walk might as well get of the
earth, for it and the fullness thereof
belongeth to the fellow with the auto.
If those who do not possess cars
should bunch up in their own inter
ests it would be different story.
Some day they may realize the pos.
sibiiities Of their collective strength
and the pedestrian will then again
come into his own. Until the. advent
of the auto. municipalities always
enjoyed the right to limit the speed
of vehicles within their corporate
limits, and at all established stree,
crossings the pedestrian had the
right of way.

There's many SORROW and pain Know
AS we tread the path of life;
There's many grief ana iastlns "oe'
And the way is toll and strife.
But the hardest load we have TO Dear
Is the labor and strength that's lost
In building the bridge with tolsome care
Der the stream that is never crossed
We have fretting and worry from morn TILL night
And anguish weighs on the heart
The thorny way seems hard 10 r1shS,
And life is bitter part.
But there is burden greater yet,
Much peace of soul 1t has cost,
II is building bridge with toll and sweat
Ger the stream that is never crossed
There's looking for crossings all the day
And searching along the shore
For a bridge ford along the way
We shall never travel Ger
There's signing for useless toys in VAIN
And dreaming of chances lost;
Fslt it's hardest to bridge with might ana man
The stream that is never crossed
Then gather the roses along the way
And treasure the fragrance rare;
Rejoice in the bright and joyous day,
Refusing to borrow care.
For sorrow and pain will surely come
And your soul be tried and tossed;
Bur don't be bridging to reach your nome
Der the stream that is never crossed
