The work of Ernie Holmes as the
third man in the ring at the last big
show in Council Bluffs, attracted the
attention of the followers OF the
mat game and Jack Lewis has been
approached by a number OF local
fans, with the question OF why ne
didn't use Holmes in the Omaha
shows. As a matter of fact, it does
not always rest with Lewis to pick
the referee. The contestants them
selves usually want something to
say about it and the only time that
Lewis make choice is when the
main bout disagree. Jack can sug-
gest a man to the performers and
it is likely that Ernie's name will
be mentioned when the subject
comes up. for the next match.
The all-star show at the Council
Bluffs auditorium is practically all
arranged and promoter Al Fiori will
announce the entire card this eve
ming. The men for the opening bout
have only to be signed and Al is
to meet a couple of men today and
will probably have the bout closed
in time for an announcement this
evening. The main event will pre-

And
HALE ARRIVE IN
OMAHA FRIDAY
San Antonio Pitcher and St,
Louis Catcher Land Here
and Report to Jackson;
Ready for Work.

The forces of the local Western
league ball club were augmented
yesterday by the arrival of Catcher
Hale from the St. Louis Americans
and Pitcher Townsend from the
San Antonio Texas league club.
Townsend didn't work any yes
terday, desiring a good nights rest
after his long trip before he handled
the bali here. He has been work.
ing little in his home town and
looks in good shape.
Hale worked a little with The
boys and shapes up like a wonder
among the Western leaguers.
All the boys, with the exception
of Townsend and Hal Cable, had a
good days workout. Cable went
to see DR.. Griffin about his ear and
didn't go out to the park at all
yesterday.
Jess Kranda covered the keystone
bag and showed up as fashily at
second as he has at third. 1t may
be that he will give Cable scrap
for the middle bag job instead of
battling with Donica at the hot cor
ner.
Manager Jackson felt a little
cocky over his own showing yes
terday. He didn't let any of them
get away from him, returning to
his old form in grand style.
The sore arms are much improved
but the fellows that own them were
a little afraid to let loose with them,
even with the sun shining so warm
ly. Otto Merz says his hardest
work is over, he is ready for the
season to open, down to weight ard
arm in good shape. Otto says he'll
stand 'em on their heads this year.
Fuhr reports his portside ripper
in fine shape and ready for the bell.
In fact, with the exception of Ca
ble's ear trouble, the Omaha club
can be said to be in almost per-
feet condition. What little soreness
is left in the arms of Kopp,
Hale and Donica will wear off in
day or so and as their legs and
wind are in good shape nothing else
seems to be wrong with any Of the
players.

Bordeaux, where they stayed three
weeks before receiving orders to
go on to Marseilles, where they en-
barked homeward bound, by way of
the Mediterranean sea on January
%, 1919. They stopped one day at
the Rock Of Gibraltar, went through
the Straits of Gibraltar and on
January Sc they Strengthened sail for
the good old u. S. A. They sighted
the Statue of Liberty on February 8
and though every man on the ship
had what Hale terms an "all gone
feeling" in the stomach, a rousing
cheer went up.
Four days later, February II,
they were discharged at Garden
City. N. Y. Lieutenant Hale ar
rived at his home in Kansas City,
February 16. He made arrange
ments to go into the automobile re-
pairing business with a prominent

Rourkes. The Hale boys are sons
of Lon Hale, who for years was
the worlds champion wooden shoe
clog dancer. The father is now the
master mechanic of the Kansas City

fellow, despite his wonderful war
experiences. having been born Sep

He is officially credited with
bringing down two German Fokkers,
the most dreaded of the Hun army

modest chap and refuses to say
whether he was decorated for any
thing in particular or not. He is
particularly proud of German
Luger, an officers revolver, which
he took from one of his captives.
He recently refused an offer of
$500 for the gun.

company of Kansas City, Mo-, play
ing semi-pro ball, while his brother,
Brooks (Deacon), was pitching for
the Rourkes.
The elder Hale enlisted in the
First Missouri field artillery of Kan
sas City on May %, 1916, as pri-
vate. When war was declared the
Second Missouri artillery was Or
ganized from the First and 10th
field artillery and was later known
as the 35th division of Missouri and
Kansas. Hale was made mess SER
geant Of battery D, on May 81, 1917,
and was commissioned second lieu-
tenant of field artillery at the non
commissioned officers training
school at Kansas City in July, 1917.
AT ri. Slll.
He was stationed at Camp Doni-
phan, Fort Sill. Okl., for seven
months, and as the army regulations
call for six observers to each regi-
ment of field artillery, he was sent
to the observers school in January,
1917. He completed the course in
April, including the observers
school of fire. Hale was then
ordered to the aero gunners' school
at Hicks Field, Texas, completing
the course in June. and was ordered
overseas. He arrived in Liverpool,
July II, 1917, was in England about
month and was sent to the school
of aeroplane engines at St. Maixent,
France. Then he was ordered to
the make or break" school at
Tours.
Completing the prescribed course
in August, Lieutenant Hale was
ordered to the front. While en-
route to the front he experienced his
first bombing raid. The building
across the street from his sleeping
quarters was struck and destroyed
and Hale says he was as badly
scared as anyone else. He went
from Paris to the air service depot
in the first zone of advance, as
signed to the 9oth observation
squadron, working with the Fifth
corps of the First army and served
four months in the Toul sector. He

to Fonacourt and was there when
the Argonne forest and Meuse drive
began on September 26.
While at Fonacourt, Lieutenant
Hale and his pilot fell 2,400 meters
in their plane, landing in soft mud,
which probably saved their lives.
Hale had his hip wrenched and was
laid up for three months on account
of it. He fell out of the machine,
flew over the right wing and slid
about 80 yards in the mud His
pilot had his ankle broken in the
accident. ....

was stationed at Parois on Novem-
Der /, and was there when the armi-
stice was signed In Parois, he was
working with the 8eth division of
drafted men from Missouri and
Kansas. December he was ordered
to Belrain, France, and then to
Tours, where the air service men

eombats had upon their nervous
systems. The Rockefeller research

THE IRISH QUESTION

Politicians and partisan newspapers of this country have always been in- clined to handle the Irish question" rather gingerly Because of the fact tiOn for Irelands 'liberation" has been in this country, and that the sinews of war have been furnished by American sympathizers, there has been hesitation on the part of pOli- ticians to give offense to an element which casts large numbers of votes, even when the policy pursued has been so openly in violation of inter- national comity that it has been cause for concern by statesmen. It is not surprising, therefore, that the follow ing excellent summary of the situa tion of Ireland at the present time, from Chamberlain's Weekly, should carry the caption, Begging Pardon of course":
 Lets not talk about an Irish re public Everybody except few very enthusiastic enthusiasts knows there isn't going to be any Irish republic Preident de Valera may como to America and talk about it and thou sands Of Trishmen born in the United States, as de Valera himself, may cheer about it. But for all that, all of them, or most of them, know that there will, in the end, be no Irish re" public. Home rule we will grant, or a dominion, but never a republic. Un-

less, of course, you insist that the British empire is going to oreak up. The case o the Irish IS not so strong as it was before the war. At that time almost everybody, whether
 his name was Mahaffey or Goldmark
 or Drgrczwski, had a sort of fondness for the cause of the Emerald isle.
 We all felt that the Irish people had
 been persecuted in the past and that
 they ought to be rewarded with a lit tie extra in the present. But then came, first the Irish disputes over
 what they wanted and what they
 wouldn't have, and later the failure of Ireland to participate in the war.
 Through long decades of slow re-
 lenting England in 1914 had finally got to the point of being ready to grant home rule. She was ready to accept the enactment, but civil war all but broke out in Ireland. The north was against the south. Dis agreement grew violent and armed forces were enrolled. To the by stander in this country it seemed that Ireland was making mistake. Then came on the war. Individual Irish men volunteered but the bulk of the nation stayed at home. It seemed to the bytander again that, the English having offered home rule and the enactment having been postponed only through the disagreement of Ire land itself, the Irish people should have joined in the cause of empire as whOle-heartedly as the English. But such was not the case. The Irish did not volunteer and the English were afraid to draft them, while every halfway able-bodied Englishman and Scot and Welshman was in uniform.
 "A good many American observers thought that, when the war ended, the English and Scotch and Welsh soldiers would return from the front and demand the gore of the big buck Irishmen who had remained at home enjoying war profteer's wage. But nothing of the sort occurred The English seemed to hold the Irish free from prejudice and were, and still are, willing to take up home rule the min- ute a working arrangement can be figured out between the Irish factions themselves. And what more could a free Irishman want than some sort of home rule that will leave him a sub iect of the British empire-as good an empire as he is likely to find any where-and complete independence in local affairs?"

LABOR DAY

A distinctive holiday for labor, a day on which to celebrate victories won and to discuss plans for future betterments in the condition of the toilers, is due to the activities of the trades unions and those labor organ izations which are represented in the great American Federation of Labor It is and always has been distinct and apart from the socialist celebra- ton of May day, when it has been customary to display the red flag of international industrial unrest.
 In recent years the line between the bona fde tradesunionist and the socialist has become as marked al- most as that between the employer and employed. Today will probably see in different parts of the country nature, ill which the representatives of the two elements will be brought
 
 to expect that with the growing agita- tiOn, induced by the changed condi- tions brought on by the war, the socialists will eventually capture the trade unions of the United States, just as they now control those of Great Britain and other European countries. The trend of the speeches delivered at the various celebrations will therefore be watched with inter- est.
 To the toiler, the man who through intelligent organization has wrought the improvements in working and liv- ing condi tions so noticeable in the i'm mediate past, the day gives opportunity to celebrate victories won in behalf of humanity. For every victory of organized labor is shared in by every unOrganized worker. Laws for i'm factories, against crowded sweat shops, prohibiting child labor re- ducing the hours of women and chil- dren workers, and raising the age at which children can be put to work all these and more are due to the continued work and agitation of trades unionists in the face of un- reasoning opposition. And as in other great reforms in the worlds history, they are now accepted as matter of course even by their bitterest op- ponents. It is doubtful if public opinion could under any circum- stances be brought to allow a rever- sion to the old conditions.
 Organized labor has much to be proud of, a. if n the rpeeches with which the day is marked there is a note of triumph, it will be eXcusable. The country at large will see in the increased prosperity of the organized workers, with the resulting benefits to the unOrganized, it's greatest bull wark against bolshevism and anarchy.
