i MEETING TO GET
. LINED UP RIGHT
Thousand Base Bail Fans o
; Omaha Gather at City Hall to
j Discuss Plans for Sand
: lot Games.
By FRANK QUIGLEY.
Although climatic conditions were
tvery thing but favorable a larger
trowd of amateur . base ballists and
fans attended the fifth consecutive an
ual mass meeting of the Omaha
Amateur Base' Ball association, held
ta the council chamber of the city hall
last night than was anticipated by the
directors. ' .
' . Approximately 1,000 inoculated with
the base ball fever listened attentive
ly to the different addresses.
Speeches commendatory, remonstra
live and inperative; some of which
dealt with mistakes of the past and
others which served to illuminate the
future of amateur base ball hereabouts
with roseate forecasts were dished out
by the different orators, but when the
Wind-jantming nad terminated, ap-
farently everyone was satisfied with
he different orations and hit the
homeward trail with a firm dctermina
tion to do all in their power to pre
serve amateur base ball in Omaha,
while their former diamond comnan
tons are en route to Germany to bring
back peace and good will to the entire
universe.
; Jake In Chair.
; President Jake Isaacson presided
s chairman of the mass meeting and
in his opening speech he asked the
boys especially to remember the
boys that have enlisted and to corres
pond with them at leant occasionally.
ti. u Metcalt, who was to make a pa
triotic speech was unable to attend
. City Commissioner Hummel, the next
tpeaker, told the boys they could de
pend on him the ensuing season in
event he was re-elected. A backer of
amateur base ball, namely, Frank
Dewey, told the bunch that in look
ing over his records he found only
fc 10 of 40 who formerly played with
various icHins uatncu uy mm buii in
Omaha. The rest are either members
of the army or navy.
Good Word for Beys.

tion be adopted:
"To the Enlisted Boys, Army and
.Navy:
J. "The Omaha Amateur Base Ball as
ociation in session at this time is
thinking and talking of you, and we
end greetings and hope that you sue
' ceed in putting the kaiser out of busi
ness. With best wishes and Ood
peed from sH of us."
This resolution, was unanimously
adopted.
J. P, Connolly, a member of the
board of reneation, spoke about the
boys who had enlisted and had been
drafted and he hoped that the young
boys would enlist new youthful tim
ber to keep the game up to the old
standard. The writer, Frank Jacobs,
Butch Fries, Abe Kaiman, Robert
Krall, Bill Ammons, .Walter Nelson.
Victor Luna also spoke.
About 30 of the base ball players
rnaue onci laixs.
Letters From Front. ,

men: lames Milota, formerly secre
tary op tne association, and George
Sutej. The chairman read the letters,
which were joyfully received.
Talk New Rules.
New rules were talked about that
might be adopted for the ensuing
season, namely: To cut down the
number of men allowed at the open
ing of the season from 15 to 12.
That protests will be sent in with a
Forfeit and if it is ascertained that
there be no foundation for the pro
test the forfeit money will automatic
ally become a part of the treasury of
the Omaha Amateur Base Ball asso
ciation. The receipts ior One day from class
A games will probably be turned over
to the Griffith ball and bat fund. On

In Honor of . Honm
Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 28. J.
H. ('Tonus) Wagner, veteran
infielder of the Pittsburgh Na
tionals, was the central figure
here tonight at a banquet ten
dered by Pittsburgh base ball
enthusiasts, in honor of the
former Pirate's 44th birthday.
Prominent base ball men of
the country were present for
the celebration, including Clar
ence H. Rowland, manager of
the Chicago Americans Hugh
A. Jennings, leader of the De
troit Tigers; A. R. Tearney,
president of the Three Eye
league, and Lee Fohl, manager

servation policies of the government.
Stone Breaks Record in
Trying Out for Illinois Meet
Ames, la., Feb. 28. (Special.)
Breaking the local indoor mile time,
Stone qualified for the team which is
to be sent to the Illinois relay carni
val held next Saturday. Along with
him, winning places on the team to be
sent to the big run, are Cromer, Haw
thorn and Reed. All of these, men
were "members of the cross country
team last fall that took both Missouri
valley and Big Ten grinds. Hawthorn
is , the man who worx the individual
honors. Cromer was his running
mate. Hawthorn has been in the hos
pital with smallpox since his record
breaking performances and has not
hit the stride formerly attained, al
though the leader is still going good.
Wilkin, the pole vaulter, will also
be taken along. His performance at
Chicago, when he tied for second
place at 12 feet 1 inch, points him as
a dangerous competitor for high hon
ors in this event. It will also be re
membered that he raised the record
in the Missouri valley. His work so
far this year has been handicapped by
having to work on the inside gym in
stead of out on the Irack. ; . - .

Cyclone Quintet Ready
For Clash With Hawkeyes
Ames, la., Feb. 28. (Special.)
Both Ames and Iowa will be smelling
blood when they meet here Friday
night in the final basket ball game ot
the season on the Ames floor, for on
the result of this contest the state hon
ors rest. Both teams have about an
equal claim to the title, Ames having
one defeat by Iowa against them,
while Iowa has been beaten by several
of the smaller scchools of the state
earlier in the season.
All of the Ames men are in condi
tion at present. Since the run of bad
luck and injuries has left the camp,
Coach Salter's proteges have put up a
brand of ball seldom seen.
Hahu, one of the Ames sub-guards,
has earned himself a berth on the reg
ulars if anything can be taken from
appearances. He is displacing Ab
bott, who has played in the guard po
sition all year. Hahn went into the
Kansas game and played most steadily
of anybody on the floor, guarding
everybody, and scorine most field bas
kets of any Ames man. , With him
against the Iowa aggregation will also
go Boyd, Aldrich, Harper and Linnan.

U.S. TO STRENGTHEN

Will Endeavor to Induce Spain
to Lift . Embargo Against
France; Shipping Bottoms
to Be Chartered.
Washington, Feb. 28. Rehabilita
tion of the Spanish railroad system
is planned by the United States, to
make possible the shipment of large
quantities of supplies from Spain to
General Pershing's forces in France.
An offer of American railway ma
terials has been made as a part of the
negotiations the United States is con
ducting to induce Spain to lift her
embargo against the shipment of
goods in France, placed, according to
the Spanish government, because of
the broken down condition of rails.
A final agreement has not been
signed, but Spain has been notified
that all Spanish shifts held in Ameri
can ports, may sail as soon as they I
discharge the parts of their cargoes
for -which licenses have been with
held. There are now in American
ports six Spanish steamers and half
as many sailing ships.

asked for the use of considerable
Spanish tonnage on terms similar to
those accepted by Northern European
neutrals. This tonnage will be paid
for at a high rate and for the most
part would be used in the non-hazardous
trades.
The war trade board's plan for re
ducing imports calls for a consider
able cut in the importation, of Span
ish products. - As the American gov
ernment's own needs, and those of its
associates in the war will absorb most
of the export commodities produced
in the United States exports to Spain
also will be limited. This, officials
think, should release a number of
Spanish ships now plying between the
United States and Spain which the
Spanish government could charter.
