Following nra the official fielding averages of National league players who participated In fifteen or move games In any on position during Conrad Young rlflted the sandhills with dogs and gun at the commencement of the the season of 19oi, as complied by Secretary II.

NEBRASKA SHOULD BE RID OF THE STIGMA Cane With Mleol Leaae looni ta Make Cfcaaes Orav to Ceaatrrart Weight of Gopher neef.w The action of Chancellor Andrews last week In objecting to Bender and Fenlon piaylng on the Nebraska university team la, to aay the least, unfortunate. It again brine up the old discussion of profession alism In Nebraska's ranks. But Chancellor Andrews la not to be adversely criticised for hi- action. Aa chancellor he has the collegiate honor to maintain, and If he has positive proof that professionals do exist In the team. It la hla duty to object and to object strongly enough to stamp out the vtl. But now the discussion haa been raised, the matter should be inorougniy thrashed ou'. for as long as It Is allowed to He In abeyance both the honor of the ln stltutlon and the private honor of Bender and Fenlon will be under a cloud. If these young men are paid for their services on the gridiron and this the athletic board should take palna to find out both should go. That Is the only honorable course to take. Many of the supporters of the Corn huskers admit that Bender Is a profes sions!, but as an excuse raise the general "holler" about all universities having them and Nebraska must have them to keep the pace. Which Is about the poorest excuse they could make. But pro or not Bender Is certainly a footballer. In the match with Crelghton the crowd forgot all the black Imputations about him. only remembering that he could get around the ends and make runs such as few can. Though Crelghton lost the game It raised Itself In the eel (motion of the pub lic The plucky fight, snappv style nnd above all the clean game the IocrI team put up all tended to draw the admiration of the onlookers. The able manner In which the little Cnptaln Callahar ployed the game was perhaps the best thing dur ing the afternoon, and when he was forcfd to leave the field toward the end he carried witr him the heartfelt sympathy of the audience, which appreciated his noble ef forts But though he was pretty h9dly bat tered up by the Nebraskans, he Is a tough little customer and during the laat week has been hard at practice. The nex' game of renl Importance In which Nebraska plays will be agalnat Min nesota, on October 20. Henry Clark of Omaha will referee. Many changes have been made for this game, and from all In dication the changes have been for the betterment of the team. Bore Is put bnck to cent'-, as he Is about the only man on the Cornhurkers that would be able to hold dow I the 200-pounJ Strathern. the veteran center for Minnesota' In the last game between Nebraska and Minnesota, In which the former won, Borg made a splendid showing. His former position of right guard will either be taken by Mills or Shook Mills has up to the present, been playing center, but Booth has doubts as to whether he would be able to hold down Btrathcrn. Another change Is that of put ting Benedict at right end. This position has been the weak spot In Nebraska's line up this season, and though a number of h'isky boys have been tried, none has come up to expectations The vacant position of quarterback hss three candidates Ber wick Redlck and , McDonald. Of ' these Borwlck seems to be the most favored, with Redlck as second cholco Booth gave Bor wlck a chance toward the end of the game with Crelghton, and though he had but little time to do anything, his style caught on. Redlck is an Omaha boy. Barta la ex pected tr play at left guard, fcnd Is Just the right man for the place. Though he tips the beam at 187 pound-, he la the fastest runner on the team, and It Is said can beat Bender In a hundred-yard dash. His physical development Is about ns good as can be found Left tackle and left end Will be filled by the old-timers, Cy Mason and Johnson, and either Eager or Fenlon will be In at left half.

But Bummy" Is not likely to make such an Important change without being pretty sure of his ground, and as Benedict has played right end before, the chances are the change hat made the team stronger than ever. Olen Mason, the' fullback, will take his usual place In the game with the Gophers, and If ha fails, Booth has a' good man In Craig. If one may be permitted, oae ventures to express the hope that Mr. M. H. Sexton . will take the trouble to revise hla "off! elal figures before he sends them to be printed In the base ball guides, for, as they stand In the mimeographed copies he sent to Omaha (one or two daya later than he sent them to other cities) several mis takes of more or less moment nra noted. opening me report at random, the eye eaught the credit statement of George Nlll, late second baseman for the- Colorado Springs team. According to Mr. Sexton, NlU's fielding account stands thus: Games PO. A: F.. TC. CA. Ave. Nlll 139 3(6 387 67 733 - 676 . 922 A moment with the pencil will show that Mr. Sexton's adder Is In need of fixing. According to his own figures, Nlll accepted 733 out of 790 chances, and Is, therefore, en titled to a fielding average of .928. Not much of a change, but enough to notice, , you know. Over on the next sheet Hart man of St. Joseph Is put down this way: Games. PO. A. F TO CA. Av. Hartman.. 14i 343 17 16 306 214 .9W Here he has made the same mistake, tak ing the total of chances accepted by the Holder as hla total number of chances, and gain deducting the errors, thus making nlm pay for the errors twice. Hartman'a correct average, according to the Sexton figures. Is .967. It Is not a very great dis crepancy, but while you are getting up average you might as well get them right. If It is worth doing at all, it ought to be done accurately. The list has not been carefully examined, so It Is unfair to Infer that all the calculations have been made on th basis of those ef Nlll. and Harfman. Omaha has aeven pitchers In the list whose averages are "officially" given, and these are credited with having pitched between 1 them 139 games. As Omaha played 150 games, and only bad nine pitchers on the list all summer, one is somewhat curious to know how the president accounts for the Other eleven games. Schafslall pitched 2H. ) and Henderson 1H, which accounts for four, but where are the rest? Here's where one may help the president out a little: He give Brown credit with winning 71.4 per eent of twenty-eight games. As a matter of fact. Brown 'pitched thirty-two games and won tweuty-four of them. Just as was slated in The Bee on the day after the pennant was won. Brown pitched eight games against Dea Moines, , five agalr.st Uioux City, six against Colorado Springs, IX against DenVcr and seven against St Josepn. He won 75 per rent of these thirty two games. One wonders It the rest of the teams have been dealt with lit a aii.illar manner In the "official" compilation. Just at a hurried glance, It doesn't stem to be worth much more, excfi.t as a. curiosity, than the "official" standing table was.

C. J. Francisco twice made perfect scores last week. He was playing against Wil liam Gilchrist of South Omaha and In two separata games rolled up a score of 300. Plays like this make Omaha player hopeful that In the national tournament at Mil waukee the Gate City will be heading the list. Thirty or forty of the cracks have signified their Intention of going, and the chlefest among them declare nothing short of sudden death will stop them. Last year at Cleveland Omaha came In for some of the money and this year the players are showing up. much better than ever. The matches In the league continue and sur prises occur every night. The Omahas created one of these surprises by defeating the Union Stock Yards in three straight games. This brought them .up to first place In a tie with the Onlmods. Both the latter teams have won ten matches and lost two. Mr. Heath, the winner of the Vanderbllt cup race, took return passage on the Kai ser Wllhelm, which left port October 12. He was, therefore, a traveling companion of the McWhorter boys, who, with Mra, McWhorter, went over In that vessel, - If tho roads get in traveling condition and the day Is good, there will be some' thing doing at Glenwood, la., next Sunday The Rambler Automobile company of this city has been Invited down to spend tha day, and will be met outside Glenwood by tne eight Rambler machines and their own ers of that place.

It Is to be hoped that If the averages are kept another season they will be kept so that there will be no ground for disputing them. It only requires a little care and ability to "cipher in the rule of I." The circuit builders have resumed opera tlons, and some of their productions, so far as tho Western league is concerned, are of Interest. First of all. they have aold the Des Molnea team to Joe Cantllllon to go into the American association In the place of a "weak" team. Just which one of two or three Is not mentioned. Excellent au thority la eald to support the statement that Cantllllon has been given an option of the Iowa franchise- There Is only one rea son for doubting this, snd that la that Dr. Rawson Is an enthusiastic sport, and a base ball man from top to bottom. Like any other man he would sell anything If he could get hla price, but on his latest visit to Omaha he waa In anything but a mood to retire from the game. He did want to get a man or experience imerestea as a partner, and It Is not at all unlikely that Cantllllon has that opportunity. If Joe can take the team over to the American asso ciation camp The Bee will rejoice that Dea Moines has got into a better class and will. congratulate the American on having at least one live town on Ita weatern division. Thla may open the way for Omaha. If the American Is going to open ita circuit for the reception of Dea Moines, It Is hardly likely that It will atop there, when It la only a matter of a couple of hours' ride further to reach the best baae ball town of its else In the it-hole VnlteU 8 totes. Omaha hasn't been mentioned In any of the com bination! suggested, but Rourke has been very much praised for hla success in land ing the pennant, and very much congratu lated on the snug balance on the right stde of the ledger with which he finished the season. The most eloquent talk Omaha con poa'wlbln make at a meeting of the magnates Is the figures on attendance, and there are certainly good. In the meantime Papa BUI Is sawing wood when he Isn't playing "fan tan," and Isn't telling any- body what he has In mind. Ho will be at Minor Base Ball Leagues at New York this week, and if there la anything doing In the J way of taking Weatern teams into higher classes he will be there to see that Omaha la not overlooked. Another of the early fall stories, one that tilnnmeA llkia the second crnn of dandellona on the lawn, Is to the effect that Tommy Burns of Colorado Springs , la to have charge of the Philadelphia National league team next season. It may be that Tommy , will buy the franchise, which la now for sale, and thus afford "an outlet for all the millions Brother Jimmy la digging out of the. Portland mine. One wonders why George Tebeau hasn't Jumped In and added the Quakers to his string of franchises. It would seem to be worth while to him. But If Burns gets It we'll try to bear up under our loss, knowing how much better1 off the big league will be with one real live west ern magnate on Ita lists. And the experi ence Mr. Burns gained as a fighter during the war with the Tebeau-Hlckey combina tion ought to be Invaluable to the National bunch, now that hostilities with 1 the Ban Johnsonltea are about to break out anew. Sir Tommy Llpton cornea forward again saying ha has not abandoned the idea of having another whack at tha "bloomln' mug" and that tha only thing that Inter feres with him In doing so Is the fact of him not being able to aecure a designer good enough to match tha American prod uct. George L. Watson, tha dealanar nf the last two Shamrocks, has been tried and found wanting. But, more than a de signer, the Glasgow Irish baronet wants a captain. Shamrock III was admitted by many experts to be the aqua) of the Re liance, and In teat work before tha races lapped the brine at a wonderful rate. But when tt came to racing, it became mora a matter of aeamanshlp than of boats. And In seamanship Barr proved himself by far the better sailor. If those Clyde yachts men want to lift the cup they will have to get a sailor man not a llme-Julce drink ing, board-of-trade herring catcher, but a sailor man who can beat Barr at his own game.
