JACKSON HERE;
PREDICTS FLAG
FOR OMAHA CLUB
Rourke'S Manager Arrived
Friday; Trades Pending for
New InfieIderS; Has Three
Young CatCherS Signed.

Manager Bill Jackson of the
Rourkes was a caller in The Bee
sports department. yesterday and
gave an outline of his early plans
for the Western league base bali
season. Jackson says he expects
to have the best team in the league
for Omaha. He predicts the flying
OF the 1919 pennant from the Rourke
flag pole and games that will bring
the Omaha fans out in great num-
bers. While the other Western
league clubs are building up fine ag-
gregations, Bill thinks the team he
will have will be just 'leetle" bit
better than the rest.
The Rourke manager is trying to
land couple of young pitchers for
his team for, this year, all of whom
show great promise. Cy Lingle, the
old backstop of the Omaha club, is
with the ARMY in France and may
not be able to get here for the open
ing of the season, and Jackson ex-
poets to have one of these new
Qatchers hold 'em while they wait
for Lingle to get home. George
Baker of Peoria, ILL.,, is one of the
new ones, and though he has had
no great former experience, Jackson
says he has the goods and can de-
liver. Another youngster he is
angling for is Paul Zahniser, with
the Columbus club of the American
ASSOCIATION last year. He has an
other last year catcher in Ralph
Corderman that comes highly
recommended.
New Inheld.
With the exception of Jackson at
first base, the Omaha club will have
an entire new infeld. Jackson is
taking no chances with raw material
in the infeld and has a couple of
trades pending for some experienced !
and a pitcher or two. The |
of the consummation
of these trades may be expected |
within a few days.
In the outheld "Shag" Thompson
will be seen cavorting around again. |
Thomson didn't report last year, but
he has seen the error of his ways
and he's out of a job in the ship
yards anyway, so he will be on
hand to grab off the long ones this
season. Al Bashand will be in the
outer garden again and some new
will be secured to fill the
other outfeld hole.
Manager Jackson announces that
any of the local semi-pro players
that want to work with the Western
league club will be welcome, and if
they show the proper ability some
Of them may land jobs with the
Omaha team.

Is expected to open its drive against
the coalition majority In the House
or Commons today By trying to force
q clearer definition OF statements made
by Premier Lloyd George and King
George in their speeches at the open
ing Of parliament yesterday.
The Laborites, who dominate the
opposition, will center their attention
on industrial and economic questions
raised by the premier and King. II
Is also expected that an effort will be
made to compel Lloyd George 10 exe
plain that part OF his speech IN which
he said that "an adequate army must
be kept in the field. and proposals
necessary to secure the forces requfr-
ed will be submitted" The question
has been raised whether he intends
to use conscription.
Morning newspapers comment care
fully on yesterdays speeches. distrib-

REDS RULE WOMEN
BELONG TO STATE

LONDON, Feb. 12.-An example OF
Bolshevist legislation is provided by
proclamation which was posted in
Saratoff, east Russia, and was made
effective TO a limited degree. The
same proclamation was posted in
Ekaterinburg, where effect was ais"
given to it for few days before the
advent OF the Czechs. The Times, in
reproducing the document, vouches
for it's authenticity. The proclamation
follows:
This decree is proclaimed by the
Free Association of Anarchists Of the
town of Saratof. In compliance with
decision Of the soviet and the SOL
diers' and workmen's deputies of
Kronstadt, the private possession Of
women is abolished. Social inequali-
ties aud legitimate marriages having
been the condition of the past which
served as instruments in the hands Of
the bourgeoisie, thanks to which all
the best species Of all beautiful
(women) have been the property OF
the bourgeoisie, the proper continua-
tion of the human race has been pre-
vented.
Such arguments have induced the
organization to issue the present de-
cree.
"First-From March l the right to
possess women of the ages OF seven
teen to thirty-two years is abolished.
"Second-The age OF women shall
be determined by birth certificates
or passports or by testimony of wit
ncsses: and on failure to produce
documents their age shall be deter
mined by the committee who shall
judge them according to appearance.
"Third-This decree does not fafect
women having any children. In case
Of her resistance Of her husband. she
shall forfeit her right under the for
mer paragraph"
The proClamation's eighth provision
contains the following:
"Any citizen noticing a woman not
submitting herself to the address un-
der this decree is Obliged to let 1t be
known to the Anarchists Club, giving
the address, the full name Of the
father and the name Of the woman"
The twenty-second provision reads:
"All refusing to recognize and sup
port this decree will be proclaimed
enemies of the people and will be
held strictly responsible.

CITY OF SARATOFF, RUSSIA"
