Wright & Wilhelmy Co., Omaha, Neb. HOUSE AFTER s V-ATER POWER COMMITTEE RE PORT ADOPTED. CIS CRIME COMMITTED Officials Censured Are Former Gover nor, Attorney General and Land Commissioner. Lincoln.—By an almost unanimous vote, republicans and democrats alike, the house adopted the report of its special water power committee, cen suring the last republican board of irrigation and recommending that steps be taken to cancel Platte river franchises granted by it. •‘We find that the state authorities, without considering, in our judgment, the welfare of the state, granted fran chises to water power sites in per petuity," says the report, drawn by McAllister. The granting of such a franchise in perpetuity we regard as a crime against the peopl of the state.” The officials so censured are former Governor Aldrich, Attorney General Martin and former Land Commis sioner Cowles. The committee finds that the irriga tion beard, at the request of corpora tion representatives, removed from the Fremont-Kountze brothers fran chise, a clause which made it subject to future legislation. It recommends: That the attorney general proceed to secure the cancellation of all re cently granted franchises, where any legal ground for such action can be That the attorney general see to it that no future grants in perpetuity be made by the irrigation board. That the attorney general intervene in pending controversies between rival power companies, acting for the people. That speculative franchise rights, such as have heretofore been granted, be eliminated. That a commission be named to conduct a further inquiry in the wa ter power resources of the state. That the two bills introduced by the committee be passed: one for a wa ter power commission and the other limiting all franchises to forty-year periods and exacting a 2 per cent royalty front the gross receipts under such franchise. Signing the report were McAllister, chairman; Trumble, Anderson of Boyd and Hardin. Bills Passed. H. R. 752—By Potts: Corporation tax bill, one-tenth of 1 per cent of capital stock per annum.

HAVE often been asked,” says Gotch, “how and when I dis covered the toe hold. That is a pretty hard question to an swer. Farmer Purus and I worked out the problem of the toe hold wrestling in Iowa. I think I used it first on Scott Miller in 1902. I pulled the foot over the leg and applied the leverage The other toe hold, and the one 1 em ploy the most, was worked out later. "There are several varieties of toe holds and locks, but the one I use most and the one which writers call ‘the famous toe hold,' consists of get ting the opponent's foot in a vise in which the toes and ankle are the points of attack. It is often confused with the toe hold over the leg, but the two grips are distinct. "It is important first of all to have one’s opponent in the proper position to begin the preliminary moves for the toe hold. When an opponent is on the mat, suppose the atfacker is on the right side. The wrestler who is the ‘under dog' must be on his hands and knees for the attacker to make the shift that traps his opponent's further foot “The attacker from this position holds his opponent to the mat by grasping the right leg high up with both hands, working well to the side. With his right hand the attacker reaches inside the crotch from the front, grasping his opponent's left ankle. With the left hand he grasps his opponent’s foot near the toes, al most simultaneously straddling the near leg of his opponent and pulliug up on the imprisoned foot. The oppo nent’s right leg in this way is trapped and his left foot is ‘‘out of commis sion.” When the left leg has been im prisoned in this way for a few sec onds, the muscles relax and fhe mem ber becomes powerless. The attacker then pulls up and may apply the twist to the toe hold. His head may be used as an instrument of attack in forcing an opponent’s shoulders to ^he mat. “Since the left leg of the defensive wrestler has become ineffective by being imprisoned in this way, the ankle hold may be released and the toe hold easily retained. The free right hand of the attacker then may be used in forcing the shoulders of the defensive wrestler to the mat. Since the under wrestler has turned on his side, the half-nelson may be affixed and the opponent pinned with the half-nelson and toe hold or the toe hold released and the crotch and half-nelson applied. The toe hold may be used alone. "While I have won many matches with the toe hold, it is a mistake to imagine 1 have depended upon this grip. In fact, I have won more matches with other holds. I probably have won most of my matches with the half-nelson and crotch, but fear of the toe hold has helped in secur ing this and other combinations. "I defeated Dinnie in England with this form of the toe hold. I think I put the hold on Dinnie more quickly than on any other opponent I ever met. Dinnie had angered me by con tending he was not down in the first fall, and I gave him another chance. As he came toward me I dove for his legs and put him down. As he fell I came down on his right leg and since he was in the proper position for the toe hold I had his leg and foot trapped in a few i-'conds. I had it on Dinnie so quick that it made him a convert to our style of wrestling. He was one of the best boosters we had in England after that experience. "I think Hackenschmidt mortally feared the toe hold in both our matches. He quit when I went after the hold in our first match. He plead ed that he had enough as soon as I secured the grip in our last meeting. “I doubt the wisdom of barring the toe hold. Once this grip is under the ban the game will degenerate in the direction of the Greco-Roman style, which at best is only half wrestling. Then the hammerlock, which is just as dangerous, would have to go and the game would be reduced to a test of mere brute strength. "Although I have had many wrest lers at my mercy with the toe hold, I have never injured an opponent without cause. In 1900 at the Brookes' casino in Chicago I injured Pardello. the Italian, but had cause, for he had pulled a whole handful of hair from my head. It is just as easy to injure an opponent with the hammerlock or the headlock.” (Copyright. 1912. by Joseph B. Bowles.) CHASE IS VERSATILE PLAYER Mack Says New Yorker Can Play Any Position on Diamond, With Ex ception of Battery. It is not at all surprising that there should be a big differencei of opinion among all players and wise baseball managers as to whether a left hander can play second base. The debate has been going on for some time. In fact, since Hal Chase expressed his desire to play that bag, and now that Chance has said that he is going to put Chase on second base if he can get in the game, and he says he will, the debate has become all the warmer. Connie Mack, Willie Keeler, Clark Griffith and many other ball players declare that Chase will have no trou Hal Chase. ble in playing that sack, while there are some who were of the opinion that a second baseman could not make the plays which came around that cush ion if he had to throw with his left hand. "I think Hal Chase can play any po Hltion on the diamond with the excep tion of the battery work," says Con nie Mack, manager of the Athletes. “The reason he will be able to play second base is that he is the quickest man with his hands I have seen on the ball field in my time. He may be sj trifle weak in that position, but then, again, he will make some plays down there that a right hander can not make. “I think that he would be much bet ter than some of the right handed second basemen we have in the game right now. I saw him play that bag In Philadelphia, and my players said that they thought he could play any thing on the ball lot. There have not been many men who have made a suc cess of playing the infield who have been left handers. But then, again, there have been exceptions. I think Chase is one of them. He will shift with the players, and I think he can touch base runners. If Chance finds that he can play there is no doubt in my mind that he will have another good infielder and will not have to worry about his sec ond base trouble. Chance could not go through the country and pick up a man who could play as well as Chase at second base, could be? If Chance finds that he cannot play, why Chase could do just as well in the outfield, but I look for him to be the regular second-sacker.” PLAYER GETS TEN CENTS; MADE A PRO The latest development in the effort to purify amateur athletics is the "professionalization” of a St. Louis soccer player for accepting a fee of 10 cents. The crime is not denied by the player, who claims that it was carfare, and so classed as expenses. The league committee declined to view it in this light, disqualified the player, and ordered the games in which he participated to be re played. School for Ball Players. Manager Charles Carr of the Kan sas City American association team, is still working on his idea of estab lishing a school for baseball players at San Antonio, Texas. Carr wants the National Commission to recognize his college, which, he believes, will do away with much of the unneces sary expense attached to the develop ment of minor league players. He has an option on a tract of ground suit able for 13 or 20 diamonds and can secure a hotel lease, and next winter hopes to start his project. He intends to have competent instructors in base running, fielding and all departments of the game. “Skeeters” Team Is Sold. The deal for the purchase of the Jersey City club of the International league, which has been hanging fire for weeks, has finally gone through. Thomas A. Fogarty of this city, a close friend of Frank J. Farrell, owner of the New York Americans, has bought a half interest in the “Skeet ers,” paying $15,000 for 150 shares of stock to Hugh A. Breen, former secre tary of the Boston Red Sox. Southpaw Pitching Staff. Manager Joe Birmingham at Cleve land is going to depend on a south paw pitching staff. Birmingham be lieves that Gregg, Cullop, Mitchell and James will be regulars next season. Oes Moines Gets Brewer. Des Moines has purchased Infielder Steve Brewer of the Auburn club of the Mink league for a trial. READY FOR BASEBALL 1 Many Leagues Finish Schedule Making for 1913. Pacific Coast Players Get Under Way. With Other Organizations Fol lowing Closely—April 10 is the Big Day. Schedule making of the nearly twc score of recognized professional base ball leagues in the country is com plete for the 1913 season with only a few departures from the general pro gram followed last year. The first pennant race was started as usual by the Pacific Coast league, whose season opened April 1 and which is also the last to close—on Oct. 26. April 10 is the big opening day of the year, marking not only the ' commencement of the two major league seasons, but those of the American association, the Texas league and the Southern league. The Western league, whose season opens April 18 and closes Oct. 5. has voted to retain the 168-game schedule, which makes three minor leagues now playing longer schedules than the ma jor leagues—namely, the Pacific Coast league, the American association and the Western league. Among the changes this year in the circuits there is the probable shift of the Fall River (Mass.) franchise to' Portland. Me., in the New England league; the return of Waterbury, Conn., to the old Connecticut league, which will be called the Eastern asso j c-iation this year, and the addition of Xew London and Pittsfield, with the loss of Xew Britain, makes an eight club circuit. Last year there were only six teams. The Central league Is considerably changed, being reduced from a twelve club circuit to one of six cities—Fort Wayne, Terre Haute and Evansville, Ind.. Dayton and Springfield, O., and Grand Rapids. Mich. The Tri-state league includes Atlantic City, N. J., and Chester. Pa., this year in place of Altoona and Johnstown. Pa. The Ohio State league is reduced to a six-club circuit, of Ironton, Dima, Mansfield, Chillicothe, Portsmouth and Newark. : Ohio. The opening and closing dates of most of the leagues whose schedules are available are as follows: April 10—American league, Oct. 5. April 10—National league, Oct. 5. April 10—American Assn..

What has become of the old-time pitchers who were known as “cold , weather” twirlers. According to New York papers, Jim Thorpe has done everything but jump over the Brooklyn bridge. Manager Joe Tinker has announced that he would carry nine pitchers with him throughout the whole season. First Baseman Jake Daubert of the Dodgers believes that Manager Bill Dahlen will have a winner this sea son. Sport writers pick the Giants to repeat in the National league. They say the Pirates lack pennant fighting qualities. A baseball writer claims that if the national commission gets a chance to run Mexico it will make a major league out of it. The Georgia School of Technology now has under construction in Atlanta the finest athletic stadium in that sec tion of the country. Manager Miller Huggins of the Cardinals believes that Ivy Wingo will be the best catcher in the National league this season. Jacinto Calvo, the young Cuban se cured by Clark Griffith, is looming up fine, and Griff believes that the young ster will make good. Ward McDowell, the Nebraska boy purchased by the Naps, is being boosted by Barry Lajoie. McDowell is a second baseman. Only two American trotters. Royal Reaper and Soprano, were able to win more than $2,500 in Austria-Hungary last year, when $630,000 was given in purse money. The fast but unfortunate pacing stallion Pat Logan will be matineed at Cleveland this season with hopes that he will stand the prep for a cam paign in 1914. The new- Brooklyn park has no stair ways, fourteen runways taking the ] place of them. It has ten exits and will seat 30,000, which can be in creased 20,000 more. In Leach, Sheckard and Clymer, says Jimmy Isaminger. Johnny Kvers has three outfielders who rowed the boat that took Washington across the Delaware. Packey McFarland has agreed to meet Freddie Welsh, the English light weight champion, at the Olympia in London, providing he receives a guar anty of $10,000, with $500 expenses, the bout to take place on a date to i be named by himself. CANADA WINS AGAIN THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY FOR OATS WON A SECOND TIME BY CANADA. The most recent achievement cl Canada’s West is winning for the sec ond time the magnificent $1,500 silver trophy awarded by the State of Colo rado for the best peck of oats. At Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, J. C. Hill & Sons of Lloydmiuster, Saskatchewan, placed a peck oats grown on their farm in competition, with oats from every part of the world. The judges aad no difficulty in deciding, and the award was given to the Saskatchewan grow'n oats, la 1912, the Corn Expo sition had no exhibition, and our Ca nadian friends, although ready for a second contest had no opportunity, in 1913, the exhibition of the Society was held at Columbus, S. C., and it is said of it that it was one of the best pet held. At this exhibition, which lomprised corn and all the smaller grains, Hill & Sons of Lloydminster bad on exhibition for the contest an ather peck of oats growrn on their Saskatchewan farm, in 1912. There was no trouble for the judges, no time necessarily lost in reaching a decision, Hill & Sous won, and for the second time their name will appear on the nrest of the cup. The third space will doubtless be occupied by their name, and then this splendid trophy will ba .heirs. During the past few years Western Canada grains—w heat, oatB, barley and flax—have been in competition with grains from all other countries, and in every case their superiority has been shown. It is not only in oats, but it Is in wheat, in barley and in flax, that Canada more than holds its own, when placed side by side with grains from ather parts. Mixed farming is taking a strong Qoid not only in those parts of Mani toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, ivhich up to the present have been de voted solely to grain growing, but also In the districts contiguous, where the conditions of climate, shelter, water, grass and hay make farming of this kind, easy to prosecute and large in profits. It was in the Province of Manitoba that the steer was raised that carried off the Championship of the steer class, at Chicago last De cember. This beast had been fattened an the grass and hay of the Province and the only finishing grain it had was barley; not an ounce of corn. Western Canada presents innumen able opportunities for the big farmer who wants to cultivate his thousands of acres, the medium man satisfied with a few hundred acres, the man who is content to farm his free home stead of one hundred and sixty acres; it has opportunities for the investor, the capitalist, the business man, tha manufacturer and the laborer.
