This Isnt Going to Be a Good Year for Dead Arms, Either RODRKE PLEASED WITH SPRING CAMP Both He and Marty Krug Declare Beatrice ii the Ideal Place for Rourkelets to Train. CHICAGO WRESTLER WHO WILL MEET PETERS. TAHNEHILL TO SOUTH BEND I Pa Rourke and Marty Krug. who dually control the destinies of the Omaha West ern league ball club, are bubbling over with enthusiasm as regards the new Rourke training camp. Rourke last week made arrangements to train at Beatrice. Now, Beatrix ha about the ewellest Class D base ball plant In the country. It was built for the Beatrice Nebraska State league club, which vanished o'er the horhron when the State loop aviated last summer. The Beatrice plant wns at that time recognised aa the class of Class D circles. The Playing field la all that rould be asked for. and the grandstand and bleachers are of first class. In fact, the Beatrice plant la as rood as most West ern league plants, and considerably bet ter than one or two which are somewhat notorious around the loop for their lack of worth. Will TSot Come to Omaha. Rourke will have all his athletes report directly to Beatrice. They will not visit Omaha at all. Three weeks will be pent at the Gage county metropolis. The training season was, at the recent West- rn league meeting, extended from two weeks to three weeka, and Rourke and Krug Intend to get In every possible day. Sioux City will train at Falrbury, which Is Just an hour's Journey from Beatrice. This will enable Omaha and Sioux City to play a .number of exhibition contests at both Beatrice and Falrbury. The ex hibition garaea will more easily enable the athletes to get into shape and will also net a sufficient revenue to pay some of the training expenses. The ex hibition games will undoubtedly draw beter In Beatrice and Falrbury than In Omaha because It will be the only chance the fans of those cities will get to see professional clubs In action. Also the ex penses will not be any greater, and also again, Rourke and Krug will be beter able to keep tab on the conduct of their charges in a city the else of Beatrice than in one the size of Omaha. Tannehlll to Month Bend. Lee Tannehlll, the veteran third sacker, yvho finished the 1915 campaign with Omaha, haa signed to nlsv with South Bend in the Central league. Tannehlll should make good in the Central, which la a Clasa B loop. He held his own fairly well in Class A last year, so he ought to have no difficulty in the Indiana city. Another Western leagues who goes to the Central loop Is one Henry Gelsel, um piring person, who officiated in these parts aa a member of Tip O'Nelll'a preciou staff last year. Gelsel was in the Central league for three years be fore he came to the Western. He got away In fine style back there some way or other, and this year he haa been made chief-of-staff. Being an umpire, prob ably nobody around the Western circuit will miss him much. ' Oelsel never had much use for the Western league, anyhow. Shortly after he started to worlc he lingered to watch a building burn up down in Topeka one night. While he was watching the flame some "moll burner" separated Mm from his roll. The Western is a little too fast for Henry. Fraaklln Johnson, the speed artist who flunked as a Rourke last year, has hooked up with the Wichita club. Mr. Johnson had a world of stuff when with Omaha, but no control, and was a little shy in the noodle. He may go good with Wichita, and again he may not. 1 i BASKET BALL HAS CEHTERJF STAGE Relative Standing of Teams in the League is About the Same u Week Ago. GREAT GAME IS IN SIGHT ftlandtnc of Trams.

Plestina is one of Klank'a stable of grapplera. "Oh, perchance, perchance," admitted the reporter, "Probably Peters can be thrown. We wouldn't even venture to say Stecher can't be thrown. They do say miracles can be performed. But, you will remember, Strangler Lewl and Joe Rogers blew the village pronto whon Peters began to annoy 'em with chal lenges." "What of it, what of It," roared Klank. "Didn't Plestina dump both of those birds? Also didn't he break Martenaen's armT I tell you this Plestina is a tough guy and he'll ruin Peters. He'll do to Peters what Ootch'H do to Stecher." The reporter grinned. "Probably, that's just about what he will do. Unconslously you said It. You've got the right dope and don't know it." Whereupon the reporter departed confidently believing that a re porter ia a smart person and is a hard one to fool. " - ' Beats for the Peters-Pleetlna match are selling fast and the Boyd theater prom ises to be pretty well filled tomorrow night. Peters is rapidly attaining a wide popularity In Omaha and there are those grappling fana who believe lie would put up a better fight against Stecher than any other of the present crew of wrest lers.

The Otllfornlans won the National Ami wur association tournament last season at the Panama-Pacific exposition and ari on the way to defend the title at the Chi cago tournament. It is on the return trip that they will drop off to meet the locals, Just what impression the Brandela will make against the visitors is causing treat deal of conjecture among fans. To date the department store men have mopped up on every team in the Tri-Clty league and have practically cinched the league championship. Since their defeat at the hands of Fort Dodge and Wei- leyan, they, by hard practice have greatly Increased their ability at the flipping game. Their top heavy win over the Townsends last week by the score of 44 to 18 gives ample proof over their early season form. Perhapa the greatest surprise of th season occurred Thursday evening when the Burgeas-Nash contingent fell before the University of Omaha five. The Col legians won by the narrow margin of 2S to 89. Last Saturday evening Coach Kavans' men also took a fall out of the Bellevua team at Bellevue. Thursday evening the crack Brandels five will line up against the Walter Q Clarks on the Young Men's Christian as sociation floor. The Clarks have been going good the last tew weeka and are looked aa being abel to give the Mer chants a close run If not possibly taking them In camp. In the Commercial league the Omaha National Banka added another victory to Its perfect standing, making nine con secutive wins. The Bankers have only three more games before the cloee of the season, In the Church loop the First Methodists retained the strangle hold on first place by defeating the calvary Baptists, 18 to 19. The Baptists more than outplayed the league leaders In the second frame. CORNHUSKERS WIS THE VALLEY TITLE By Defeating Ames, 29 to 17, Ne braska Floor Five Finishes Season with Clean Slate.

GILMORE MAKES STATEMENT CHICAOO, Feb. 2, The Federsl Trade commission is planning an investigation of Organised Base Ball and its relations to the Sherman anti-trust law, according to a statement today by James A. Gil more, who arrived from New York to at' tend the meeting of the Federal league magna tea. Officers of the commission at Washing' ton, Mr. G U more said, have asked the Federal league for Ha papers filed In the suit here last winter and recently dl missed by Judge Landla, following tb peace compact. Only a reorganisation of the methods of conducting the game will Insure avoidance of future litigation, M Gllinore predicted. He cited the Baltimore Federal League club as a possible plaintiff In new suits and also hinted the Bail Ilayers' frater nlty might find cause fur court action. An assessment of 10,0 to be raised this aftemun among the five clubs which remain In good standing in the defunct league will clear up lis Indebtedness and practically wind up its business, Mr. Gil more said. The clubs represented are Chicago. Itttaburgh, St Iouls. Newark and Brooklyn; Kansas City and Buffal having forfeited their franchises and the Baltimore club having declined to parti' ctpate. According to Mr. Gllmore the tatter's declination forces the extra assessment, the other five clubs previously having GEORGE H0RINE WILL NOT JUMP OVER BAR ANY MORE NEW YORK, Feb. 12.

Have a care, you ardont and enthusi astic duck hunters, who feel the call of the river these near-spring days, aa tha pintail, green-winged teal and early mal lard herald their flight to the northward. For R. P. Holland of Atchison, Kan., who Is the federal Inspector for thla dis trict, arrived In Omaha Saturday and be gan to swear In a bunch of deputies. The early ducks are flying northward across Nebraska in great numbers, . And spring shooting is always better than fall shooting. And It la hard for tha enthusi astic duck hunter to look hla pet shotgun In the face and obey the law. But when the spirit begins to grip you Mr. Huntsman, remember that Mr. Hol land and his deputies are among us, and that It is taking a long chance. We are going after violators hot and heavy this spring," declares Mr. Holland, Our orders from Washington are ex plicit. The constitutionality of the spring law Ij now before tha courts, with a good chance for an early decision. Orders from Waahlaaton. "And it seems Washington Is of the opinion that the law will be declared con stitutional. Heretofore, orders from Wsshlngton have never been very imper ative. Now, we are told to soeed up, If Washington didn't believe thst the law would be declared constitutional, it would not be likely to urge us on, but would, to the contrary, be Inclined to let matters slide." Holland emphatically asserts he Is on the job to obey instructions to the letter 'I am going to employ a number o deputies here in Omaha and run all vlo lators down. The man who is heedless of the law Is going to ba caught thla year," aald Holland. Holland and his assistants will remain In Nebraska for some time. The durks are flying over the state in large nunv bers, and there are always, of coun those shooters who wll 1 disregard the law. This year, however, they are going to have their troubles.

Following a conference between Dr. J. William White, representing the University Pennsylvania, and Lieutenant W, Smith, who spoke for the two academies, Dr. White announced that the nest Army' Navy gome would be played in New York. The determining factor, according Lieutenant Smith, in the selection of New York, was aimoly a question of seatlm capacity.
