The 1923 Creighton eleven "ill also accomplish another feat which no other Blue squad was forced to do, and that is play five of tho nine games out of town. The first three games of the schedule, Kansas Uni \ ersity, Kansas Aggies and South Da kota State, will be played on foreign soil, because the proposed Creighton athletic field will not he ready until the latter part of October. New Faces on Card. Kansas University, Kansas Aggies, Oklahoma A. and M.. ami Grlnnel college are new faces on the Creigh ton schedule for the coming season. Marquette of Milwaukee, old rival of t'rolghton, lias not been placed on tho schedule. According to Athletic Di rector tSchablnger. Marquette was of ^ fet ed October 27. November to, 17 and 29, but asked such a large guaran tee that a game between the two schools was impossible. This does not mean, however, that Creighton and Marquette have broken off ath letic relations ns the Milwaukee school is scheduled to play tho Creigh ton basket ball team this winter Marquette also has requested a berth on the 1924 Creighton football sched ule. Montana, St. Louts, St. 'I nomas, Washington State, Nebraska Wesley an. Cornell college and several other universities and colleges throughout tlie west asked for dates on the Creighton schedule. These schools wanted to play early games in Oma ha, hut because of the atldetie field on the hill it was impossible to schedule any of these teams for the early part of next season. Homecoming November 3. The annual homecoming game at Creighton Held will ho played Novem ber 3, between the Blue and the Haskell Indians. This game will also dedicate the new atldetie field and plans have already been discussed to make the homecoming contest one of the features of the 1923 schedule. The first game out of the box for Creighton is against Kansas Univer sity at Lawrence, October fi. The second contest for the Blue is carded the following Saturday at Manhattan when the Creighton team tackles the Kansas Aggies. These two Valley contests mean a lot to Creighton whether the Blue scores two, one or no victories. All the conference will have an eye on the Creighton team when it plays the two Kansas teams. The manner In which the Omaha gridsters conduct themselves on the Afield and the kind of football they play will have an Important part In the drawing up of the 1924 Creigh ton schedule. For. In 1924 Creigh ton expects to make a large splash In the Valley pool. Only three games are scheduled with "Big Nine” conference teams. Creighton played a hlg role in the or ganization of the North Tnterco legt ate conference last year, but has sort of slighted the "Big Nine” schools in scheduling games. The conference rules say that before a member can claim the title it must play four schools. Creighton has carded three, South Dakota State at Brookings.

Maul pitched for many teams and had a career extending through out fifteen seasons. The last four and his most success ful one's he got by on slow teasers, brains, and a lot of faith in his sup port. A1 had a remarkable season in 1887. He began that season with the Nashville club of the Southern league and in the twenty-four games played he had a battling average of .484. About 16 big league clubs were after him. Philadelphia landed him. and 1n the 16 games Maul played for the Phillies the remainder of the season he piled up a batting average of .400. Leading two leagues in one season with the highest percentage in bat ting in the history of either one of those circuits is one of the stories A1 Maul can tell to his grandchildren. As time wore on, Maul became a better pitcher, but was a scream ns a batsman. Toward the finis of his career A1 couldn’t hit a football with a grain shovel. Umpire s School to Be Launched Flint. Mich., .Tan. 27.—A school for umpires will he established here by l,ou Fyfe, veteran arbiter in the * Michigan Ontario league, who says he is satisfied an umpire should be "edu cated." Fyfe claims umpires In the Amer ican and National leagues have placed j the stamp of approval on his idea ! and offered their aid. T. J. Halligan, president of the Michigan-Ontario league, has given Fyfe the privilege of using a section I of the league offices here as a school room for the Instruction of students. Retween 25 and 60 students will enroll in the school ns soon as more definite plans are consummated, it is expected. They will be drilled in dis cipline on tlie field, taught rules of the game, what position to take when working single and double and oth er things which an umpire should know. “I’ve seen some umpires." says Fyfe, "who didn't know any more what to do when certain plays propped out than does a grade schoolboy.” Whether the art of diplomacy and how to dodge a pop bottle gracefully will be taught was not learned. Every prospective student must first pass an eye test, says Fyfe. Hugh Duffy TJjinks Yanks Will he Stronger Than Ever New York, Jan. 27.—(Special.)— Hugh Duffy, who led tlie Roston Red Sox last year, thinks the Yanks are stronger than ever. "Looks to me as if those Yanks will lie stronger than ever in 1923," he is quoted as saying. “Hoyt had a bad season last year. He is a much better pitcher than he showed In 1922 and he Is a comparatively young pitcher who can be figured to im prove year by year now Instead of going baekward the way the vet lerans do.” HARD PAIR TO BEAT__ EARL EBY. M, ■ ---- i- -U.M 1 -- JOIE RAY. „ i .m i i -1 Question of Zoning Will Come Up for Discussion at Annual Meeting of American League 11ICAGO, Jan. 27.— | Whatever business the American 1 league magnates | have under their respective hats’ will be disposed of at Philadelphia on February 19. Han Johnson, president of the league, des ignated the Quaker City as the gather ing spot when he sent out his call for the annual ! spring gabfest. Tt is the first time in the history of the league that Phila delphia has been awarded this dis tinction. So far as is known at this time there are only two matters to be dis posed of. One is the 1923 schedule, the ndoption of which is a mere for mality. The other is the question of zoning with the idea of curtailing the the epidemic of home runs which have grown distressingly common since longer flight was injected into the makeup of baseballs. The elimination of phony homers Is a pet project of Clark Griffith’s. The Washington club boss made the origi nal suggestion along these lines and found favor not only with the league president, but among his fellow club owners as well. He brought it up at the league's meeting last December, but nothing definite was done at that time becausd of the apparent desire of the National leaguers to retain as many circus features as possible. (Iriff’s Idea is to cut to two liases all blows that land in sents not 1113 feet removed front the plate, off hand it appears to he a radical step, but in reality it won't hinder the real hitters, such as "Babe” Kuth. If passed it would bo in operation in only two parks—St. T.ouis where a portion of the rightfield bleacher comes inside the 315-foot limit and in the new Yankee park where a small piece of the grandstand cuts in on both foul lines. A1 n. Tearney. president of the Western league today broadcasted or ders for his crew to gather next Mon day at Kansas City; the hackers of the new club in Puelilo, Colo., have promised to be on hand with the necessary guarantee and If they make .good tho Sioux City franchise wall he formally transferred. aar GATE CITY LEAGUE.

By WALTER ECKKKSALL. Among the galaxy of stars who will compete in the annual indoor track and field games of the Millrose A. In New York Wednesday night will bo Karl Eby. formerly of the Uni versity of l'ennsylvnnla, who is com peting for the Chicago A. A., and Joie Ray of the Illinois A. C., prob ably the greatest middle distance run ner of modern times. Eby is a former captain of the Tcnn team and during his college days was looked upon as the best half miler in the east. While competing for the Quaker Institution, Earl won two legs op the Millrose trophy offered for the 600 yard run. This was back in 1020 and 1021. lie has been out of compe tlon for a year, hut there Is little question he will step Just as fast as ever. The Cherry Circle runner has gone about his conditioning systematically. For weeks he worked In the Chicago A. A. gymnasium and engaged In only short jogs on the track. Most of his (raining was done with the pulley weights and no efforts were made to run fast quarter miles or even run a full 600 yards at a fast clip. Itrraks Kerord in Trial. In order to satisfy himself and his friends, Kby Journeyed to the Univer sity of Chicago gymnasium recently and decided to run a quarter mile. In fact he felt so good he told Tom Kck, coach of the llaroon long distance ! runners, lie would break the track rcc I ord. The veteran trainer laughed at I this statement, iiut agreed to hold the watch. S. H. Darwent, coach of the ! Cherry Circle team, held another and I one of the Chicago team held the third ' timepiece. Kby was sent away by shot of a pistol and surprised the spectators I with a terrific burst of kpeod. The I sharp turns did not bother him and | when be bad breasted the tape, the | three timers agreed Kby had stepped : the distance In :51 2-5. This broke the 1 former track record of :51 4 5, mad" | by liinga Diamond, the great colored 1 foot racer, a few years back. Following this exhibition. Kby as serted lie felt strong enough to step the remaining 160 yards. In fact he said he could have floated through the extra yardage without a great, effort. If Kby Can win the 600-yard event on Wednesday night he will blast one of the old theories of sonic coaches that a runner cannot come hack after a layoff of a year or more. Has IiPg on Trophy. If the Cherry Circle performer is successful in winning the last leg on the trophy, which will give him per manent possession of a prize sought after by numbers of athletes, he will ! remain in training for the Central ] a, A. U. indoor track and field cham pionships and also for the national senior tftle events in Chicago the lat ter part of August. According to Kby be will be pitted against Suttner of Syracuse univer sity, who won the event last year; Uellfrlch of Penn State. Tom Camp bell of Yale, and Wolters, the great Ames runner, who won the quarter and half mile runs in the western conference outdoor meet last June. Ray, who hopes to be good enough to make the 1924 Olympic team, which will compete in France, will be | a contestant in the one mile invita j tion run. Ray is a real competitor. He has shown this on so many oc casions that lie is looked upon as al most a sure winner every time he steps up to the mark. For the last 10 ! years he has stood supreme in his specialty, and he has traveled from | coast to coast to meet the beAt «e I looted by those in charge of Indoor land outdoor meets. Joie will he pitted against Wharton of tlie C. A. A., who was a member of the University of Illinois team which established a new world's four mile record at the Drake games last April. Wharton has been running well in training, but hardly can be expetced to beat the fleet runner of the tricolor club. Ray Watson Entered. Itay Watson, another middle west runner who broke Into the spotlight while competing for tho Kansas Agri cultural college, will run In the three quarters mile invitation. Watson is now competing for the Illinois A. C. and is a valuable acquisition to the Chicago organization. Dewey Alberts, former University of Illinois high jumper, who is a mem ber of the Chicago A. A. team, was invited for tho running high jump, but cannot make the trip .because of business reasons. Osborne, another Illinois university nthlotn who is com j petlng for the Illinois A. l"., will be among the starters in tho event. Host Meet of Indoor Season.
