licenses amount to about $4,000.

FIRE DAMAGES
EAST END HOME
Timely Arrival of Fire Fight
ers Save Shrewsbury Home
and Probably Large Part
of East End.

Wednesday evening at s o'clock
fire was discovered in the vacant
house of Mrs Emma Shrewsbury in
the East End, and the timely alarm
prevented what might have been a
hazarderous fire in that section of the
town.
The fire was first discovered by
Miss Josie Raitt whose home is next
door to the Shrewsbury house She
gave the alarm, and volunteer fire
fighters reached the scene before the
fire had made much Roadway The
fire started in the front hall of the
house near the stairway. 1t is believed
to have been incendary as there was
nothing in the room that could have
caused it. A coal oil lamp, which had
been emptied of it's contents, was
found near the fire scene.
Mrs. Shrewsbury had moved her
household furnishings except for a
few things. Besides the hole burned
in the floor. several pieces of bed
covers were damaged by fire and
smoke. The loss amounted to about
$40.

Okrie Hurls
Good Ball and
Buffaloes Win
New Addition to Omaha's
i Pitching Staff Allows
Wichita Only Five Hits
In 4 to l Game.

Wichita, Kan, July l6.-(Special
Telegram. Omaha took the second
game of the series with the Wichita
league pace settlers and thereby mar
rowed the margin between them
selves and the Witches to one game.
Southpaw Okrie. late of Detroit,
was the chief cog in the victory of
the Buffaloes, although his mates
backed him with almost perfect sup
port and hit hard and timely.
The lone error for Omaha was
made by Massey, with two out in
the ninth and did no damage as
Beebe was easy for the third out.
Okrie furnished the best job OF
kurling that the Wiches have bucked
up against for long while and his
only fault was his wildness, as he
issued six passes and one of these
resulted in the lone Wichita run,
when Butler doubled with two out
in the fourth.
Omaha scored first in the second
frame. Lelivelt led off with a single
over second. Griffin bunted and beat
it out while Lelivelt raced to third,
while Beebe was arguing about the
play with Umpire Holmes. Then
O'Brien hit into a double play, but
Lelivelt scored while it was being
completed. Massey followed with a
clean blow, which would, have scored
one, however.
The visitors scored another in the
sixth, which proved to be the win
ming tally. With one down Haney
walked and went to third on Lees
hit to center. Lelivelt got his third
straight hit and brought in Haney.
Omaha added two in the eighth to
make it sure. Lee singled to Lead
and Lelivelt sacrificed. Griffin
doubled, scoring Lee and came in
on a single by O'Brien.
A fine piece OF fielding by Okrie
checked a Wichita rally in the
seventh. Blakesly led off with a
walk, and Haley singled. Beebe tried
to sacrifice, but Okrie grabbed his
bunt foot off the ground and near
the third base line and doubled
Blakesly off second.

1t is the sixth time Chick has won

it will be the last, as Evans an
noupced during the prize presenta-
tions that six wins were too many

Chick, long famed for his iron

great regularity, while the Iowa boy
lacked this precision and was in a
defensive position most OF the route

Catching Chick little off in the

Kneppcr was able to turn up, but
so sound was Evans play on the in

miracles.
1t was a tough task for the young
contender and simply indicates the
difference in the play OF man who
has reached the pinnacle in amateur
golf and one who has not arrived,
but is climbing fast.
Knepper had played through the
Iowa championship the previous
week and was tired, while Chick,
who had good rest after his play
in Great Britain, grew stronger as
the tournament progressed
Large Gallery Present.
The intersectional character Of the
match attracted crowd OF 2,OO0,
many of whom saw the contest on
the skip-stop plan. skipping hole
and making the next green.
Whatever slim chance knepper
may have had was dissipated by a
slump in the early stages of the aft
erncon. when several of his tee shots
lodged in the rough. Shooting the
first six holes in five strokes over
par he lost four Of them, and Evans.
who turned 2 up in the morning. had
the match sewed up with a lead OF
six holes.
Knepper, who had not wen a hole:
since the eighth in the morning,
finally broke the monotony by taxi
ing the ninth hole, so that at the
9th he was FIVE down.
He fought on gamely and won
three OF, the remaining holes. Chick
taking one. This merely DELAYED
,the finish, a half in four giving
Evans the match on the 10Th green.
