LEAGUE STANDING

As the result of the Item Biscuit
company defeating the Western
Union last Thursday night in the
twilight game, by the score of 10
to I, and winning yesterday after
noon over the Bemis Bag company,
by II to 3 score, while the West
ern Union crew took the Orchard
Wilhelm aggregation into camp, by
the score of 8 to E, both the bis
cult and telegraph outfits are tied
for first honors in the Commercial
league.
Bob Greko, star twirler and man
ager for the Item Biscuits is still
keeping up his record of driving out
home runs. In practically all of
the games thus far this season
Greko has made a round trip CIT
cult, especially when the home run
drive was most needed. Up to
Thursday night the Western Union
crew were leading the league, but
the biscuit men proved too strong
for them.
In the other twilight game staged
Thursday evening the Orchard-Wil-
helm team won from the Bemis Bag
nine by the score of 8 to ?.

Latonia, KY, June 1.-THE colors
of c. M. Garrison OF New York
flashed under the wire first here to-
day in the thirty-seventh Latonia
Derby when his entry, B. Frank, we'll

The son of Sir, John Johnson. out
of Frankness really had little trou-
bic in disposing of his field when
called upon and two lengths of day
light showed between him and
Omond, who finished second. The
contest for the second place was
more spirited, for Regalo who had
been well during the entire mile and
a half, fought it out nobly but tired
at the very end, and was beaten a
halt length. Vulcanite was fourth
and saved his entrance money for
his owner B. Frank was one of
the two eastern horses to start,
Eternal from the stable of J. M. Nc
Clel,and, ridden by an eastern jock
ey, Schhttinger, being the other,
while six western entries faced the
barrier. Eternal for time looked
to be a winner. He assumed the
lead at the rise of the barrier and
it Was not until after the mile-pole
had been reached that B. Frank and
Regalo ridden by Murphy, managed
to poke their noses in front of him.
From there on Eternal dropped

down. Regalo and set sail for B.
Frank, but Hummer let out wrap
on his mount and Omond could not
reduce the distance. Regal came
again and Thurber had to ride just
as hard to stall off Murphy's mount.
In capturing the event B. Frank
won $l6, for his owner, Omond's
share was $1,000; Regalo's $500,
while Vulcanite obtained $3.50, for
finishing fourth.
B. Franks chances were not we'll

Regardless of the fact that the
amateur baseballists during the past
week have had little or no practice
on account of Old "Pul Jupiter"
interfering, managers of the thirty
teams of the various leagues affilia,-
led with the Municipal Amateur Base
Ball association announced last
night that their teams are in ship
shapS for today's contests.
Doubleheaders are on the program
at all of the municipal fields and
the fans, if weather conditions are
favorable, will have the opportunity
to see their favorites perform and
fight it out for the 1919 city cham
pionship honors of their respective
leagues.
It was announced by Secretary J.
J. Isaacson that should rain of wet
grounds cause the postponement OF
today s. contests twilight games will
be staged, as it will be impossible
to schedule doubleheaders between
the teams on account of the shortage
of diamonds.
Like Twilight.
Many of the >teams are in favor
of the twilight idea and are anxious
to start playing off their postponed
games this week, although none
have scheduled as yet.
A number of feature contests are
booked for today-practically all OF
them having great deal to do with
first honors in the league race. The
many thousands of followers of the
| national pastime will no doubt see
some fast and snappy contests as
considerable rivalry exists between
the various clubs.
In the City league, the Union
Quitting company, leaders OF the
organization, will lock horns with
the Omaha Printing company ag-
gregation, tail-enders, on the battle
field at Thirty-hrst and Ames ave.

victory and as the printers have
strengthened their lineup battle ia
the finish is looked for. At Fon-
tenelle park the Bowen Furniture
company ana the MCNdIleIy Motoi
crew will clash for the first time
this season. Bill Pinault, former
twirler for the Bowen's, will be on
the firing line against his former
team mates.
First honors in the American
league will be settled when the
Riggs Opticals and the Paxton
Vierlings mix at Miller park, $3.50

an 800 per cent, having won four
and lost one. At that rate last mig int
neither manager would say who he
would send to the firing line, but it
is expected the Beers will heave

First place in Divisions l and 3
of the Omaha Bee Junior Base Ball
association will be decided on the
,lay;ng fields this morning, when
contests will be staged by the lead
ers of each division.
In Division l, the feature game
will be that between the West
Dodge Dairy and the Brandeis
Juniors at Fontenelle park, while
the star attraction in Division 8 will
hold forth at Twenty-third and Vim
ton streets, when the Meyers Bear
Cats clash with the Riverview Cubs.
All four of these teams have 1000
per cent.
Although the West Dodge Dairys
lost Wednesday evening to the Fort
Omaha Merchants by 7 to 6 score,
the game was protested by the losers
because Lyle Matthews was under
contract to the Beselins. Manager
Joe Moore of the Merchants agreed
to replay the game, which will be
staged some evening this week.
Both the Bearcats and the Cubs
have won their games, the former
defeating the Walnut Hill Mer-
chants last Sunday, while the Cubs
scored their first victory in the d.
vision Wednesday evening" when
they defeated the Deer Park
Ramblers.
Great Rivalry Exists.
In Division 1. the Kairnan 1nsur-
ance company will make their in
itial appearance by playing the
Charles Street Merchants at Thirty
FIRST and Ames avenue. The insur-
ance boys have taken the franchise
of the Bemis Parks, as the latter
team has forfeited their franchise
by falling to appear for regular
scheduled games. By taking the
Bernis Parks franchise they have
one game lost to their credit and
have two postponed games to play.

PIestina, zbyszko and

New York, June 7.-Stories of the
Intended retirement of Earl Cad
dock, recognized wrestling champion
at catch-as-catch-can style, circulat ted
last winter by questionable promot-
ers, were branded as false in their
every detail by pals of the mat cham
plon who returned from France last
week. Not only has Caddock no in
tention of quitting the sport, but on
the contrary he says he will be ready
shortly to dispose of Zbyszho, Lewis,
Stecher, Plestina and any others
who have spent the last two years
claiming a crown belonging to a
man stationed along the French
front
Contenders Not Popular.
From the conversation of these
soldiers the wrestlers who remained
at home are none too popular with
Caddock. 1t is said that the leader
of the grapplers will be hard man
to deal with when it comes to max
ing matches. Caddock, his friends
say. is not under contract to any
manager and does not intend to tie
UP with any one, at least until he
finds out the situation here. He has
been out of touch with the wrestlers
and only recently heard that Jack
Curley was billing Zbyszko as the
champion until Stecher, Lewis and
DIN threw the Pole into the discard
in successive bouts.
. Caddock expects to go to his home
Immediately after he is discharged
from the army and will spend a few
weeks getting acquainted with his
family and Gust resting" as his
friends asserted. He may not in
dulge in any big matches until next
fall but by that time he will be
ready to talk terms with Curley or
even Plestina. AS to Plestina, the
sponsors for Caddock were certain
that the champion had no idea of
barring any one, much less an OPP
ponent who exhibited any promise
OF an intere sting session.

hances to display his ability in

winch he was a performer were
those among the soldiers. Most of
.he allied soldiers who took the mat
sport were better posted in Graeco-
Roman graphing than in the brand
of sport which Caddock has learned.
Jack Curley may be wrestling

would like to see any other self

We intend to see that Caddock re-

Scheaf, the crack twirler who has

that their warriors will be in the
lead when the tangle is over.
The first game at Thirty-first

by the American Railway Express
and the ]. B. Roots for the stellar
position in the American league.
Several good games are on the pro-

Class c games in the city today.
The gunners are leading the Gate
City league by single game, and
should they, lose the race for first
honors will be a tie At a late
hour last night both teams expressed
great confidence in winning and
neither manager was sure who
would be his choice in the box.
The Beselin- McKenny Dentist

the Originals also should prove ex-
citing as the teams are all evenly
matched and are fighting hard to

CHAMPION BACK;
READY BY JULY 1
Boxed Light.Heavyweights
in France; Says Carpenter
Is Not a Heavyweight
Title Possibility.

New York, June Back in civ
ilian clothes again after 10 months
OF service overseas, Mike O'Dowd.
middleweight boxing champion Of
the world, says he hopes to be
ready to defend his laurels by July
4. He will leave Immediately for
his home in St. Paul, where his
mother is ILL O'Dowd does not
want to waste any time recouping
his depleted fortune, but he does ex-
pect to spend a couple of weeks
getting acquainted with his mother
before he accepts any def which
may be sent his way.
While O'Dowd has heard nothing
direct from Tex Richard or Ad
Thatcher, the Toledo matchmaker,
it is expected that the soldier cham
pion will be asked to meet some
worthy opponent at Toledo a day
or two before Jack Dempsey and
Jess Willard settle their differences.
AO'Dowd is perfectly willing to sign
up for such an encounter and is not
bit particular as to the opponent.
For that matter O'Dowd says that
he would rather it would be Mike
Gibbons or Soldier Bartfield than
any other.
O'Dowd had several scraps on the
other side but never was extended
even when he entered the light
heavyweight class in the Kings
tourney. He was on the trail of
Georges Carpenter most Of the
time, but the French idol never
could be convinced that it was
worth while putting on his ring
Ftogs. O'Dowd is confident that had
Carpenter stepped into the ring the
Frenchman would have been elm
mated there and then.
Carpenter is far from being a
heavyweight possibility" says
O'Dowd. II saw the French fight
er several times but never in ring
costume, so cannot say as to his
condition. He seemed too slim to
be pitted against Dempsey or Will
lard or the other big men Of the
ring. Carpenter was not certain if
he ever would box again profession
ally. He says that he has been 50
interested in war work that he has
had no time for any other thoughts.
II did not like the complexion of
Carpenter. He was very pale and
his eyes glowed. He looks more
like an opera singer than boxer.
l would like nothing better than
to have ten rounds with Carpenter"
