The Ramblers, who are leading
the Booster league with four vic
tories and no defeat thus far this
season are not playing this after
noon as this is their day of rest in
the league on account of seven
team organization.
Strong Teams Mix.
Followers of the national pastime
who have been anxious to see the
Greater Omaha league teams play,
will have the opportunity to witness
the opening contest in that organ
ization this afternoon at Thirty-sec-
ond and Dewey avenue, when the
Murphy Did-Its and the Nebraska
Power Co. teams lock horns.
This will be the only contest in
the crack class A circuit and as con-
siderable rivalry exists between
these two clubs, a fast and snappy
contest is expected. Neither Man
ager LAWYER or Manager Gerhardt
would state who they would send to
the firing line but both are pre-
dieting victory for this afternoon.
The Power company team prac-
tically consists of the members
of the famous old Ramblers
Of the National league, who sew
eral years ago made such a Won
derful showing in class A circles,
when that team was under the
charge of Otto Pecha. They were a
scrappy and game bunch Of ball
players and won the heart of every
amateur fan.
Davidson to Pitch.
1t was announced last night that
prior to the opening game, J. E..
Davidson, vice-president and gen.
eral manager of the Nebraska
Power Co., would pitch the first
ball and Bert Murphy, hacker of the
Murphy-Did-Its, will try and catch
Davidson's delivery.
AS a preliminary to the Greater
Omaha league contest, the Town
sends, leaders of the Gate City
league in class c circuit will fight
it out for the second time this
season with the Vinton Street Mer-
chants, who are in fourth place in
that league. Joe Ort. considered
one of the best, hurlers in class {,
and practically responsible for the
victories scored by the gunners, will
again be on the mound against his
opponents. The Merchants are out
for revenge and are determined to
pull their opponents down notch.
Said contest will start promptly at
80.
In the City league-the oldest
organization in the city-the Bowen
Furniture Co.. have defeated all their
opponents, although every game
was hard fought until the last and
the furniture lads had no easy
sliding. At the hour of $50 this
afternoon the Bowen's again clash
with the Omaha Printing Co. at
Elmwood park, east diamonds.
Schupa to Pitch.
Manager Art Moran of the leaders
announced that he will pitch South
Paw Stanley Schupa, his best bet,
with Frank Delehanty behind the
bat. Moran is confident that his
team will make it another victory
over the Printers, but Roy Spencer
does not agree with the Bowen
leader. Spencer has strengthened
his line up and expects his crew to
pull down the leaders.

Quitting company and the Will

ExPED|T|ONARY
FORCES TO HAVE
TRACK ENTRIES
Commission on Training Camp
Activities Sending Supplies
for Teaching Runners at
Pershing's Request.

Washington, May 24.-America' s
cxpeditionary forces will present an
American-made track team when
the inter-allied championships are
held in Paris in June. All the ma
terial for the track uniforms and for
the training OF the men is being
shipped to them from this side OF
the water. Dr.. Joseph f. Raycroft
chairman of the athletic division OF
the War department commission on
training camp activities, has repre-
sented the commission in the expedi-
tionary territory for the last six
weeks and at the request of General
Pershing, has made the arrange
ments for the materials the soldiers
of Uncle Sam will need in prepar-
ing for the meet.
Supplies Forwarded.
Already vaulting poles, javelins,
shoes, ordinary track suits, weight
equipment and other paraphernalia
for a track and field team have been
forwarded overseas. The A. E. F.
order of vaulting poles almost de-
pleted the American supply of bam-
boo and the javelin order was the
largest ever placed in this country.
Official uniforms, to be used by the
track and field team representing
the United States in the inter-allied
games were manufactured in this
country and reached Col. Waite c.
Johnson, athletic officer of the A.
E. F. the first week in May.
In the course of the war the COM
mission on training camp activities
supervised the buying of large guam
titles of athletic material, not only
for the A. E. F. but for the camps in
this country. These purchases COW
cred everything in the line of ath-
letic equipment from cage balls to
ball laces. Between these extremes
were most of the articles made
familiar to the American people dur
ing the last decade by high school
and college athletics.
Material Donated.
Most of the items of less than
5000 total we're supplied for the
forces in France. Even the large
totals for boxing gloves, base balls,
etc, do not represent the major per-
centages of these materials used in
the camps. Individual soldiers pur-
chased much equipment for them
selves. Mess and post exchange
funds provided their quota. Gate
receipts from athletic contests out
fitted most of the teams known as
the camp representatives. Individ-
ual donations reached unheard of to-
tails. County and state organiza-
lions sent material into the camps
in large amounts. Welfare organ
izations within the camps kept ath-
letic material in their buildings to
be loaned to the soldiers. In some
of the camps accurate count was
kept of all the material issued to the
soldiers and these records would in
dictate that the material Supplied by
the commission was about 80 per
cent of the material which did its
part in keeping the men in the
camps and the A. E. F. interested.

Selection Of "Ace''
As Referee for Big
Race Recalls Spin

1ndianapolis-Eddie Rickenbacker
and his smile, equally as famous
throughout the country as Barney
Oldfield and his cigar, will not only
lend further International color to
the 500-mile liberty sweepstakes
here May 81 Eddie having knocked
off few dozen Huns while cruising
through the air over the European
battlefields), but will give the
countless auto-race fans a chance to
remark: my, but this seems nat
ural."
No Imagination is needed to pic
ture the enthusiasm of the vast
throng and the welcome certain to
be accorded Eddie when that most
popular Yankee "ace" walks out on
the track and up into the referees
stand. For, as you know, Eddie has
consented to officiate as referee, and
it will be just as it was when he was
fighting Huns-"What Eddie says,
goes"
Race fans recall with shivers and
smiles the time that Eddie all but
went through wall while rounding
into the homestretch in his favorite
Maxwell. That was a sight never
to be forgotten. With two of the
fastest drivers on the track right be-
hind him, one of Eddie's rear tires
went bad and-the thing happened.
Frenzied auto fans held their
breath while Eddie spun around on
that slippery brick track three times,
clinging on to the steering wheel
with grim determination, being bare
ly missed by both onrushing racers
and then crashed into the upper
wall The car was smashed but Ed
die and his mechanician escaped in
jury.
The thousands who witnessed the
miraculous escape will recall how
the big oval, and the entire big en-
closure for that matter, thundered
its joy when Eddie was seen to
emerge from his car, and, in conf
pany with his mechanician, come
walking down the inner side Of the
track toward the judges stand.
And Eddie was wearing his most
approved smile. But beneath the
grin there was pallor, a deathly
whiteness which could not be hid
den. As Eddie neared the judge's
stand it apparently occurred to him
that he had been knocking al
deaths door and that death itself
had even asked him to come in. The
thought was not very humorous to
Eddie, but the majority of that vast
crowd only saw his smile and
cheered all the more Justly.
Eddie has defied death quite often
since. but we have bunch that no
Hun bullet ever brought the lash"
to Eddie's face as noticeably or with
as much force as that little spin"
out on the indianapolis speedway.

OVER THE RIVER
DuPOnts Insure Employees

The DUPONT Company has placed in
on the lives of those of its
$1,000 employees who have been with
the company more than six months.
The policies range from $1,000 TO
$500. The maximum is reached at
the end of five years service. This
insurance which is placed with the
Equitable Life Assurance Society, is
paid for by the Company, and will
continue in force as long as the rela-
tions between employer and employe
continue.
In announcing the adoption of this
insurance plan Pierre S. dupont, presi-
dent of the Company, addressed a let
ter to each employee, in which he said:
This insurance is issued without
any expense to you, the entire cost
being borne by the Company, and is
in addition to any compensation to
which you might be entitled under the
present State compensation acts.
at is the common duty of each OF
US to provide for those who are de-
pendent upon us. This insurance does
not relieve you of your own response
bility to your family, but it is a means
of tiding them over in case of your
death, and should free you to that eX-
tent from worry"

New Division Head

In the reorganization of the DUPONT
Company's activities, c. w. Phellis,
sales director of the Explosives De-
partment, has been appointed general
director of sales, which position car
ries with it the supervision of the va
rious sales departments, each of which
has its separate director.
The new position has just been es-
tablished by the new executive COM
mittee and is one of great importance
peace-time activities of the Company's
various departments.
Mr.. Phellis has been with the du-
Pont Company since January, 1901,
anG has had wide experience with the
sales department. For his first year
and a half of service he was connected
with the shotgun smokeless division,
with headquarters at Cincinnati. Then
he was made a salesman in the ex-
plosive sales department with the mid
die eastern states as his territory. In
1906 he was made a district manager,
with headquarters at Huntington, Pa.
After ten years of successful work in
this district he was transferred ID the
Denver office as district manager, to
take charge of the important sales
work in the Rocky Mountain states,
In November, 1918, he was again adj
vanced and came to Wilmington as the
director of sales in the explosive
branch of the DUPONT business.
The future of the Company promises
to bring greatly increased burdens to
the sales department and the estab-
lishment of this new office vas decided
upon as one step toward securing the
best results.

Significance of New Capitalization of
General Motors Corporation

Announcement by the General Mo-
tors Corporation of plans to bring the
authorized capitalization above the
81, 900, 100000 mark is only a further
expression of the purpose to place this
Company in the same position in the
motor world that U. S. Steel occupies
in the steel industry. Furthermore 1t
will mean that General Motors will
take rank with L. S. Steel as a mem
Der of the exclusive class OF industrl-
ais whose capitalization touches the
billion figure.
Interests close to the duPonts have
always insisted that their interest In
motor affairs meant expansion plans
on a more %stupendous scale than has
ever been dreamed of. Latest action
of General Motors directors confirms
this.
1t is interesting to note that w. c.
Durant, President of General Motors,
denies in connection with these fnan-
cial plans that his concern has been
in negotiations or contemplates nego-
tiations looking toward a merger with
Ford, Maxwell or other companies of
this class. General Motors it is true
may take over other concerns engaged
in the automobile business in order to
make it even more self-contained than
now. But this is rather a minor de-
tail, as General Motors expansion
plans are being worked out along the
line calling for an increase in the eff
cheney and capacity to companies
already controlled.
In that connection directors had al-
ready authorized the expenditure OF
$37,398, 900 during the current year
for new construction. This will allow
increased capacity of the various sub
salaries in Detroit, Flint, Pontiac,
Lansing and st. Louis. -,gap. n
Stockholders at a special meeting
June IL will vote on a plan to increase
the authorized debenture stock from
s15O,OOO 900 to $500, 000, 900, and the
common stock authorized from $780,
600, 900 to $500, OO0, 900. The Company
has also a present authorized prefer
red stock issue of S20,000,000. The
outstanding issues are common less
stock in treasury of General Motors
CORPORATION, S147,579,900 debenture
on same basis, $~29,175,300; preferred,
S19,671 900, a total of S496,226,OOO. In
other words, if all the new stock to be
authorized is issued it will mean an
outstanding capitalization more than
five times the present outstanding
stock.
It has been suggested that controll-
ing interests in General Motors may
have some idea in view of giving two
shares of common now out sometime
in the future. There is no official
basis of such a hypothesis.

As the Stars
Next Monday evenings performance
of Chose Who Walk in Darkness at
the Playhouse will begin the final week
of the theatrical season in Whining
ton. The play mentioned above is to
have an engagement of three days
with Irene Fenwick as the star and

New York. Irene Fenwick is the
featured player of the cast and is par
ticularly well-known to all theatre
goers.
Mary Shaw, Consuela Bailey, Marie
Hayes and Arthur Shaw and scores of
others are in the cast that is support

The engagement of Mitzi begins
Thursday evening. Saucy little Mitzi
is a rare example of the coincidence
star in musical comedy.
"Head Over Heels" is a production
that has been renewed as n of the
musical comedy delights of the present
year since it's beginning early last
spring. 1t is almost continually
funny. Mr.. Savage is sending the cast
seer and heard in New York to the
inclusion of the much-talked-about
ensemble of girls and a troupe of ac-
robats.
Mail orders with the proper remit
lance will be taken care of first for
both of the productions and if any
resident of Penns Grove is DESTROYS of
attending either of these last two of
the seasons productions, he or she
would do we'll by attending to the pro-
curing of the seats Immediately.
