GERMANY WAITS

Paris, Sept. 19.-"Germany came
through this war a perfect dynamo
of strength. Her human military
power is practically as great as ever
and her $4,000, 900 people have been
schooled and, hardened by trials.
They have learned economy and self
denial.
"The nation has been compressed
into a concentrated mass, which is
surcharged with energy and moving
with centripetal force, while Ger
many's neighbors are spreading them
selves cut thin, and quarreling and
moving with centrifugal force"
Thus spoke Henry Morgenthau,
who headed the United States inves-
tigation commi ission in Poland, in
discussing today his observations in
Central Europe. -.
"And what will be the result" Mr..
Morgenthau asked. Replying to his

to San Diego, Calf, Sept. 20
Crowds are always difficult to analy-
ze; their applause is not always
conclusive, their demonstrations are
not always spontaneous and the ele-
ment of contagion and suggestion
enters into the psychology Of the mo-
ment, but more distinctive than any
other audience on the whole journey
have been the three which President
Wilson addressed at San Francisco.
Their respective responses were diff
ferent, their demeanor so different,
= Fully 10000 people were packed in
every conceivable space-aisles,
rafters, stairways and balconies. A
more uncomfortable mass Of human
ity I have never seen. People could
neither get in or out, they were fas-
tened as if in wise. They gave Mr..
Wilson thunderous welcome. And
the demonstration lasted fully fifteen
minutes during which time even the
president seemed to enjoy the wav-
ing of flags and the expressions Of
enthusiasm, but as the great majori-
ty who had come to listen, needed
the upraised hand of the mayor, a
minority who had come to disturb,
kept up a perpetual Iclamor. At first
it seemed as it was mere discomfort
and anxiety to get nearer the front,
but gradually the presidents face
hardened as he saw that small
group had placed itself in the hall

making Of the speech itself. &.
Platform People Embarrassed
People on the platform, many Of
them Republicans, plainly showed
their embarrassment, as they did not
want few people to give the i'm
preston that San Francisco had so
far forgotten its democracy as to re-
fuse to hear both sides Of any pub
lie question. Again and again, the
organ played in order to seure quiet
and finally the president started
speaking amidst an audible turbu-
lence on the outskirts Of the crowd.
His audience didn't respond to fire.
quently made points. Some started
to applaud, but evidently feared it
would give the disturbers the oppor-
tunity they sought to prevent Mr..
Wilson from making an extended
speech, but something in the hostility
Of the atmosphere aroused Mr.. Will
son and he did what he had hitherto
never done-he' started to fight the
noise. Usually, in big auditoriums,
he had not strained his voice or at
tempted to do more than extend his
greetings, but, on this occasion, he
struck forth in his argument and
handled the Shantung and Irish ques-
tions, and the matter of Great Brit
aims six votes with clarity that
quickly restored quiet and respect.
By the time he had finished he NAV
not have converted those who came
with preconceived hostility, but he
tanned the disturbers and Mr.. Wilson
may well consider it triumph.
Applause came spontaneously to-
ward the end Of his speech, for by
sheer power of oratorical appeal and
persuasive argument, the president
had obtained an attentive hearing.
Surveying the effet in San Francisco.
one can briefly set down these things
as fundamental:

team, today issued the following
statement:
"Sincc taking over the Cleveland

made the purchase we assumed GER

of Cleveland are very much con-

club. as long as I remain in COM
plete control of the policies of the

Manager Jackson Unable to
Be on Field and Owner
Handles Club From
Bench.

With Owner Bill Rourke on the
bench as manager, the Rourkes de-
feated the Oklahoma City Indians
in the first game of the series, 9 to E.
Manager Jackson has such bad
leg that the doctor prescribed rest
for him and Rourke made him lay
off and stay away from the field.
PA took the reins in his own hands
and led the team to victory.
Il In the second inning Omaha took
u commanding lead that made it
look an easy thing. Hemingway
famed and Spellman poked out a
double. Harry Williams walked and
Otto Williams fouled out to the
catcher. Then Eddie Hazen, former
local amateur, played the hero. With
two runners on ahead Of him, Eddie
slammed the pill over the right field
wall for circuit trot. Not satisfied
with this, Townsend hit for a sin
gle, but died on base as Jap Barbeau
skied to centerfeld.
The pleasure of the crowd was
short-lived, as in the fourth inning
Faux led off with single and scor-
ed with Tanner, when the latter du-
plicated Hazen's effort and put one
over the fence. Griffin singled and
Benson likewise. They both scored
on Grifin's single. Palmer walked
and Apologize famed. Lindemore
went out, o. Williams to H. Will
liams. The count in this frame was
five hits for four runs.
In the fifth the Indians went hit
Tess and runless, but the Rourkes
came back with vengeance.
Schatzman led off with a walk Bar
beau singled and Graham was safe
at first on the first baseman's error.
Lee hit to second and Benson tried
to get Schatzman at the plate, but
was too slow. Hemingway and
Spellman each singled in turn, Bar
beat, Graham and Lee scoring. H.
Williams went out, pitcher to first
and o. Williams third to first. Ha-
zen came through with single that
scored the two runners and Schatz-
! mar, closed the inning, going out
third to first. Six runs on four hits
was the count, and it sewed up the
game.
The Indians scored in the sixth
on . walk, an error and flelder's
choice, and in the seventh on a sin
gle and double. Lefthelder Faulk
was ordered out of the game by Um-
pire Daley for protesting a decision
too vigorously. Catcher Griffths
was threatened by both umpires
with 4 fine or of being put out Of
the game for his remarks, which he
continued throughout the game, re-
CARELESS OF the jumps threats.
Umpire Freshwater was behind
the plate and he kept ball that
had been protested by an Omaha
player. He said after the game that
he was going to send it to the league
president, as he believed it was a

suspended for the use of it.

OLD star TENNIS
SHARKS And new
men IN CITY MEET
Play for Omaha Championship
in Singles and Doubles
to Start Next Satur-
day Afternoon.
BY ]. THEXTON ARMSTRONG.

Will Tennis come back in Omaha?
This is the question ardent fol-
lowers of the game (every one who
plays is an ardent follower) are ask
ing. For tennis in Omaha during
the last several years has unques-
tionably been on the decline. Ten
mis- tournaments of national impor-
lance have been woefully lacking
and since war was declared little in
terest has been evinced in city or
state tournaments.
Courts at the clubs have been
used, to be sure, and tennis courts
in the parks have been filled. Many
youngsters are playing dashing
games, which they have de-
veloped in three or four seasons, but
they lack tournament experience.
And many of the Older sharks
have turned to golf.
Tourney This Month.
Hence the annual Omaha city
tournament, to be held at the Field
club from August 16 to %, will not
only produce new champion, but
will have great bearing on Omaha
future tennis.
Guy M. Williams, chairman of the
committee in charge of the event,
says it will be success. AS usual
both singles and doubles will be
played. Jack Mckay, last years
singles champion, is out Of the city
and will not participate. Spike Ken
nedy, who, with Mckay as a part
ner, won the doubles championship
last year, will be an entry.
Guy Villa S and Frank Carey
who were runners-up in the city
doubles last year, will play together
again this year.
Ralph Powell, Will Adams, Cleary
Hanighen, John Madden, Herb
Kohn, Billy Woods, DR.. John Cal
vert, Frank Carey and Ralph Rainey
are already on the entry list.
Old-Timers Out Again.
Many of the older sharks, who
have not been so active of late, have
promised to be on deck with the
idea of giving new impetus to tennis
in Omaha, and large entry list is
expected of men who have not taken
part in tournaments before. At least
one dark horse, probably the prod
uct of some of the municipal courts,
is expected to turn up and give the
older players run for their money.
Ralph Powell, Will Adams, Cleary
Hanighen and DR.. John Calvert are
expected to be strong contenders
for honors. Powell defeated Adams
in the intrastate tourney at Sioux
City, Ia, and Adams is expected to
stage a strong comeback here.
Art Scribner and Cub Potter may
possibly be in the doubles, it is said.
Herb Kohn, Billy Woods and other
Field Club players of former years
say they will be on hand this year
to teach the youngsters the game.
Entries for the tournament close
on Friday evening, August IS, when
drawings will be made. Any tennis
player in the city is eligible to enter
the tougney.
