CAMPS 'The Omaha Topeka Sank Forecloses Mortgage . on the Topeka Club, Leaving an Open' Franchise. JOPLIN MAY BE THE SUBSTITUTE XAFORA SEAL COMPLETED Fa Rourke has cloned negotiations with Mart Krug to manago the Rourkovln lans next year. Pa aubmltted a prop Rltlon to Marty to manage, tbe team, but It hung fire for several weeks before the new boss an Hourke could agree upon terms. Now all has been settled and Marty's contract is 'signed and deposited In the safe out at Hourke park. Immune to Federal leaguers and the like. Krug is the only player signed up by Kourke. Pa sent out contracts to all athletea on his reserve list . last week and Is now preparing to receive about a doien howls and kicks because the sti pend stipulated for services rendered Is not in the neighborhood of the figure re ceived by Walter Johnson, the well known ski Jumper. It always happens thusly, bufPa expects It to happen more so this year under the new salary agreed ment. However ' Pa worrleth not, for athletes will be plentiful this year, and some of those who decorated the' scenery at Rourke park last year could well be dispensed with. , Kafora Deal Completed. , While the official papers of notifica tion have not been, received, Rourke has completed his deal for Catcher Kafora of the Pittsburgh club. Mr. Kafora is said to . be a regular catcher, when It comes to fielding, but a bit weak with the stick. lie is said to be as good as Jimmy Archer on the defensive, and only his failure to hit lost him his Job with the Pirates. Rourke believes that, as he Is a youngster, Krug can make a hitter out of him, and Fred Clarke opines the same thing. Thus, Mr. Kafora should be a welcome addition to our city. Lincoln Wants in National.Amateur Ball Association Down In Lincoln a few ardent base ball fans are promulgating a scheme to organize i an amateur base ball league In that, city1 and. affiliate with the National Amateur Base Ball association, a part of which Omaha is a large factor. The success of the Omaha association last year has prompted the Links to regard the matter seriously -and an organisation is now under way. which bids well to per fect a league. Omaha amateur base all players and fans regard the entrance of Lincoln with favorable eyes, as Lincoln will be Omaha's close rival in the fall elimina tions for the national amateur cham pionship. . Last year St Paul played Omaha and the locals couldn't work themselves up to the desired fever pitch as St Paul is so far away. But with Lincoln, very close to Omaha, and with everybody knowing at least one person In the other town, rivalry should be la tensely keen. . Minneapolis Is also planning to enter the national organization. Among cities now in the circuit are Omaha, Cleveland, Chicago, LouUvllle and St. Paul. '. LinkOmaha Basket Ball. Game Saturday Lincoln and Omaha High schools will battle on the basket ball floor at the Toung' Men's Christian association1 next Saturday night The game' will be the first big Interscholastlo eomtat of the season. Omaha was , defeated by Lincoln at the letter's home a week ago, and Tommy Mills la determined to have revenge, lie has been working hard with his squad and has whipped It Into shape for a good battle. Lincoln has -practically the same team this year that won the state championship last year. Transfer of Yankee v A Stock Completed NEW YORK, Jan. 30.

IS A CHAMPIONSHIP s BOUT The biggest' wrestling match of the year has been carded for Omaha. Manager Charles Franke of the Krug theater has scheduled a finish wrestling match be tween Jess Westergaard and Touslff Hus. sane for his show shop Tuesday night February 9. The match will be two falls out of three to' a finish or no money, declares Franke, who has become somewhat dubi ous when wrestlers and money become closely associated. Since Mr. Stanlslaw Zbysako has been made the guest of the- German govern ment in one of the kaiser's Justly cele brated baatiles, Hussane and Wester gaard have been the points of dispute over the . championship. Westergaard claims the title of American champion and Hussane says he ougt to be cham pion. . . . . But whatever-either may be, all will be settled amiably and peacefully In the mix here next week.' Whoever wins can claim the world's championship, and he .will have pretty good argument to back It up. Of course Joe Stechcr must still be con sidered, and It would behoove the winner to take the Nebraska boy on. ' Westergaard and Hussane are both pop ular In Omaha,' and' the fans here have been anxious to 'see the two in action for some time. Now tbWy' will get that chance. Both appeared here-Uiis year, and their respective skill always J38S beea a mooted question. 'J ( W-".V - - Charley Franke Is tickled to- death over hjl coup, as managers and promoters In all the big cities of the country have been trying to card matches between the two leading lights for the last two years, only to fail to arrange satisfactory terms. Finally Franke stepped Into the competi tion and brought the big fray here. Women Will Stage' City Golf Tourney A woman's city golf tournament will be held in Omaha next summer. The women golfers, under the leadership of Mrs. W. G. Silver, have 'decided that lf the men can hold a city tournament the fair sex has the same privilege. " Last year a .woman's golf club was formed and the .members played each Friday during tbe, summer. The 'women who were In that club flanked by those who have been learning the rudiments of tbe game by playing Indoor golf at (n t uuni . wuiiicifcs LiiiiBiian uKKim' tion,' are lee ding the movement to hold the city tourney. Additional impetus comes fsorn a crowd of women who reside along the Florence boulevard where It Is termed the "Prettiest Mile." These women will organize a golf club February 23 and will play at the Miller Park Golf club. They will all enter the city tourna ment. Iadoor Game Pepalar. Indoor golf at the Young Women's Christian association Is attracting con siderable interest these days Of course, Indoor golf is not a game in the sense of competition, but it is pretty handy in improving strokes. A net Is - spread around the gymanaium and the women knock the ball against the net with the driver, mid-iron, cleek,- brassle or what' J v" ,u0 th'r Please. : Then along the balcony, which is built around the gym nasium, a carpet has been laid and put ting takes place. W. D. Clark, -professional at the Field club, is the Instructor, and he declares the women are improv ing rapidly in their form. Two Games f Basket Ball. BURWELL. Neb., Jan. . (Speclal.)

V There la going to bo trouble - In the Western league before tho season opens and from the glimmering of Information now at hand it looks very much like serious trouble, which bids well td cause tho magnates many-a sleepless night. ,; The, Oerman-.mcrlean. bank of .Topeka hus foreclosed a mortgage on the, Topeka base ball club and as I'rety Tip O'Neill so aptly puts It "the bank probably won't caro to enter the base ball busi ness." Thus some disposition must be made of that Topeka franchise. The present owners have had tho club on the market since fall and nary bidder would bite. Nobody cared to take a chance on Kawtown. It is entirely up to the fans of Die' town If the Kansas capital remains In the" Western loop dur lug the 1915 season. Calls Special Steed a sr. . President O'Neill has announced that as soon as he has been officially informed of the foreclosure he will call a special meeting to consider the Topeka matter. O'Neill also has . asserted that anybody who wishes to; keep the Topeka club will have to talk distinctly and clearly, meaning business with money In sight to prove it Otherwise the franchise will be transferred to some other city. Two cities, Joplln and Oklahoma City, Jiave petitioned for a Western, league franchise and have money with which to back up their desire. Joplin lias long wanted to Hrffc up with the Western, but has. always been considered a bit too small. . Speaking of Joplln and Oklahoma City as prospective Western league cities, W. A. Rourke declared, "Not a oh a nee, at least as far aa I'm concerned. They couldn't support the kind of ball we must play in this league." Itourge, how ever, would give no Intimation of what city might take up the franchise, In case Topeka falls down. ' If Topeka wants to keep the club, capital must be raised to pay all Its debts. Otherwise the Western league magnates will advise a transfer. ..' The Western league situation is so critleal, A it Is in all leagues, that the magnates cannot afford to take a chance on Topeka making good. They must be sure the franchise will not be a burden on the league, , and no matter who gets the franchise. It will be somebody who has money which will' talk. Kew Major Help to Western. Speaking of . the arrangement to put three major leagues In the field, O'Neill made the statement in Chicago that It would be beneficial to the Western In that it would afford a market for that many more players, Hut the mo6t sig nificant part of that statement was an Intimation O'Neill dropped. . . A transfer of some of the American association franchises to larger cities would give the Western a ehance to break Into new fields. For Instance, Mil waukee and St. Paul probably could not support a major league and both .cities would ' make good Western loop towns. Such being the case, Topeka and 'any other city which might find lfself on the wrong' side of the financial ledger could be dropped without fuss.

LAWRENCE. LINCOLN. Jan. 30. (Rpeclal.)-A foot ball game as a feature of the commence ment exercises is the plan which Coach Jumbo Stlehm is working up In connec tion with -the annual spring foot ball practice of the Cornhuskor squad. The game. It Is planned, will be the crowning event of the spring training, and will feature for the graduation festivities. Coach Stlehm has already taken the matter up with the chancellor and If Dr. Avery gives his permission, 8tlehm , will arrange the spring practice so the game can be played. With the game scheduled for commence ment week, it will insure foot ball prac tice and rigid training rules for pros pective foot ball men right up to - the close of school. Heretofore there has always been a lull in spring training as soon as the -warmer weather sets in and Stelhm believes his plan will eradicate tills. Coatlaac Strict vTralalns;. Another 1 new feature, whloh Stelhm will urge In the spring training, which will start next week under the direction of Captain Pick Ruthorford, is that all members of the squad start strict train ing during the spring and continue It during the summer. Then when the fall season opens the players will be in con dition to take up hard work at once, without waiting the customary length of time to condition themselves. This phsse of it is more important than ever, since Nebraska starts the season off next fall with Drake, a conference team, as an opponent, and then follows It up with a second conference team. . Btiehra will issue his call for next Tues day for initial practice ip the gymnasium unaer-we guiaance oi captain nuuier. ford. 'As soon as the weather moderates and ground conditions permit the prac tice will be transferred to the athletic field. All eligible foot ball men will be Invited to meet at a supper to discuss the spring training plans. A majority of the last year's loiter men will take part in the spring training, and a large number of freshmen will be on hand. All Are Willi.. Those who have already Indicated their willingness are Chamberlain, Will and Edward Koslstky, 8haw, Cook, Otopollk, Gardner, Mosher, Haberslaben and Cam eron. , Stlehm docs not plan to be caught nap ping on the quarterback situation this time and will work out five men at that position all during- the spring foot ball practice. He will try out Johnny Cook, the old Beatrice High school star and a most promising freshman, Caley and Porter of last year's squad, and Dick Westover, who is returning to school. Younpr Westover played brilliant ball for the 'freshmen two years ago and looms up as a strong candidate. In addition Btlehm' will ' have Hoadley, a freshman lust 'fall. The quarterback, position la to receive . particular attention during the spring training. - Apartments, flats, houses and cottages can be rented quickly and cheaply by a Bee "For Rent" ad. ) ' OMAHA, SUNDAY MDllNTNO, JANUARY M'COWN DEFJESELK CITYAN Omaha Trap Shooter Challenge! l Chria Chriitemen for T. L. ; Coombs .Trophy, ' i WILL HOLD A MATCH SHOOT Don C. McCown ' has formally chal lenged Chris Christensen of Elk City to shoot ' for tho T. L. Coombs challenge trophy which Cbrlstonsen now holds. He has deposited the $5 required under the terms of challenge and la waiting for Chrlstensen's answer When Christensen accepts, as be must do, a special - shoot will probably be ar ranged and all shooters Invited to take part. An effort wUl be made to bring the match shoot hete, although Christen sen has the privilege of naming the place and time. Tho T. L. Coombs trophy was donated by T. I Coombs In 1906 and was first captured by Slim Heveraon of Wlsner. In an effort to bring the trophy to Omaha five well-known members of the local trap shooting fraternity framed a match between Heveraon and the five lo cal men. It was thought that one out of the quintet could trim up Mr. Severson. But the local quintet figured wrong, for when all was over Mr. Beverson was dis covered beating it' back to Wlsner with the trophy tucked under his arm and 133 put up by the local men. George Rogers held tbe trophy for a while, as did Henry McDonald, the latter losing it to Christensen In 1908. Since then It has reposed on Chrlstensen's man tle unmolested by challengers. Omaha shooters have decided that Christensen should be called upon to de fend the trophy If he wishes to keep it any longer, and McCown was the man selected to try t bring It, to Omaha. Jack Fitzgerald Has Shade Over Fighting Parson Jack Pltsgerald had 'a shade over Kid Wedge in their ten-round battle before the Armory Athletlo club at the Armory last night, but due credit must be ac corded Wedge for the game battle he put up. , Fitzgerald from the first to the last gong, managed to Just shade his op ponent In each department of the game. He was better in the clinches, in the open fighting and in covering up. Wedge went wild one or two times and swung with reckless abandon, but in neither Instance did he catch the wily Flti- gerald unawares. 1 But few stiff punches were registered by either man. Fitzgerald cloaed Wedge's left eye and lsnded one or two good pokes on the Jaw and two or three stiff ones amidships. Wedge slipped over a few hard rights in the infighting. The affair was a ten-round, no decis ion bout, held under the provisos govern ing such bouts in the proposed law to permit boxing in Nebraska. In the preliminaries. Young Whittaker and Kid Garrison battled four rounds, Jimmy May and Young Patton four and Pi ankle White and Young Terry, three. CralaT Wlsa frosa Tekaaaah. . CRAIO. Neb., Jan. 30. 8peclal.)

FED MINOR LEAGUE NOW AjJERTAINTK Eight-Club League in New England Territory Settled, Declares ' Jim Gilmore. FINANCES FROM BIG LOOP NEW HAVEN, ' Conn., Jan.- . Tho Federal base ball league will have a minor league In New England, President James A. Gilmore announced here late today, after a conference with base ball men. The teams of the new league will be eight In number, ho said,- and will be put into towns where Organized Base Ball la now played. He asesrted he had had a dozen inquiries from men with money, regarding the proposed league. Just what towns it will comprkto are yet to be . determined. After the meeting reports were eurrast that New Haven, Woroester, Hartford, Springfield, Providence and Manchester, N, II., might be Included in tbe league. This could not be confirmed, however. President Gilmore stating that the circuit Would not be definitely made until after March. i - Fed Pay Difference. Eaoh club Is to be financed locally, Mr. Gilmore said, and the Federal league ' Is to furnish the players. Between thirty and forty players "are now said to be available. Each club is to be furnished with six players, as a nucleus for build ing up a team. The clubs will pay to the Federal league 1 300 a month for each player, the parent league' paying the difference when the player's salary Is In excess of that amount. Those at the conference were President Gilmore, Robert' B. Ward, one of the owners of the Brooklyn Federals;- L. W. Park of Providence, R, I.j W. G. McKay of Manchester,' N. II.; J. D. Baxter of Springfield, Mass.; E. L. Landgraf of Danbury,' Conn., ' and James E. Canava of New. Haven. Another meeting Is to be held In March. Halligan Applies For Job as Husker Foot Ball Mentor ' Via Halligan, captain of the Cornhusk era 1914 foot ball team and an all-western tackle for two years running, has applied I for .the position of ssslstant coach at Nebraska for 1915. The application of Halligan has been received with open wclcoiiio by the students at Nebraska, who regard Vlu as about tho neatest piece of foot ball machinery ever turned out of the Lincoln school. WUile Halll gan's petition for the position is regarded favorably, it would be a hardship for Nebraska to lose Hoeffal, who did such splendid work last year. Hocffcl proved to be a wonder at scout detail, bringing back accounts of the prowess of tesms to play against Nebraska, and, w4iile Halligan may be- as successful. It is known that Hoeffel will dp good work. At Nebraska sentiment set-n is to be that Halligan should supersede Dewey Har mon as coach of the freshman team or fill a new position. Nebraska could well use two assistant coaches in addition to the freshman coach, and It would not be a bad idea for Hoeffel and Halligan both to act next year. Although the magneton and moguls may stilt b hung up in court pleading with his honor to give "em life and hope, it will only bo another four weeks before the insnngers of the various big league clubs will iHstte the annual call to assem ble and tho training ramps to begin prep arations for the spring grind. The White fox will havo the Jump on their fellows, as they nisko tho first getaway for Cali fornia on February IS, the rmatnder of the club waiting until about March 1. Many of the clubs will return to the camps occupied last year while others, running afoul ct punk weather last year, will try their luck In new quarters. FeoV eral leaguers Jumped to the front and copned off two training camps laat year used by Organized Ball teams. The Pitts burgh Federals will go to Augusta, Ga., which was the location of the Brooklyn club last year, and Buffalo will go to Athens, Ga., last year used by Cleveland, llark ta OM Ierea. The Chicago Cuba return to Tampa, tha Giants to Marlln Pprlnxs, the Pirates to Hot Springs and the Braves to Macon, Ga. All other National league teams hare selected now training quarters.. . The White Sox will again Journey to Paso Robles to practice In the pill box park there, Mho Tigers return to the old stand, Oulfport.

St. Louis shifts from St. Petersburg. Fla., to Houston, Tex., where the Tanks worked out laat year, and tho Yanks probably go to Savannah, Ga., although Donovan has . not yet decided on that point definitely. The Hatlimore Federals have not de cided where they will train aa yet, but it will be some place In Georgia, where most of tho Federal league teams will play. i Sloafed to llavaaa. The St. I Amis Feds make the tea voy age this year, going to Havana, Cuba. Whether Havana will be a good train ing place Is speculative. Fielder Jones de clares It will be ideal and Jones is a base ball man who should know. Anyway ha , will give Ms men a chance at the sea-1 sickness and the yellow fever.. . ' With the exception of the White Sox, none of tho tennjs will plsy many exhl-, bltlon games. The Sox always play quite a number on their way east, as It means coin for Comlskey and gets the players' acclimated gradunlly. Lest yenr several of the teams played' a 'number of exhibition games, leavtng the ' training camps rather early and con atantly encountering young bllssards, floods and the Ilka on the route north, so this year the magnates have wisely de cided to remain In the balmy southland ' as long as possible.

"Should the draft b eliminated from the association and 'It should continue to ' operate under its present reting4t would, mean a lot of players would beCottled up) in that league, with very little chance to ' advaurV in their profession. "Each year eight players are drafted! from tbe American association, but the ' draft brings up a good many other play ers.
