Kansas Plays
^ Good Teamwork
—Huskers Lose
Feb. 13. — (Special
Telegram.) — Playing
the. same consistent
gome that has kept
the University of
Kansas without a
conference defeat In
basket ball, the Jay
hnwkers trampled on
, the Nebraska uuin
ter. :viimuuy nigm., ao
to 15.
The only time
when Captain Wat
out in front was the
first two minutes,
when Captain War
r«n mauo a erlrt Pilot count and i.sner,
diminutive Huaker forward, slipped :i
field goal thorugh the net. Tiie Kan
sans overcame this with a trio of
free shots by Ackerman and a. field
. goal. From then until the end of
the game the invaders had the Ne
braskans trailing.
The five-man defense as executed
by the Kansans was well-nigh im
pregnable.
The Kansans were on the beet end
of an 18 to 6 register when the half
ended. The work of Ackerman from
the foul was perfect. He had 10
chances and scored 10 free shots.
Usher did the same thing for Nebras
ka in eight chances.
The summary:

□HE Western league Is rapidly
becoming a loop entirely de
pendent upon major league
clubs.
When "Mike” Kelley of St. Paul
purchased half interest In the Des
Moines Boosters away went another
Independent Western club.
There was a lime and it wasn’t
very far off that the Western league
threw out its chest and was proud
of its.independence, hut time lias
changed things as time will do.
Of the eight clubs in the circuit,
only three teams are independent,
Oklahoma City, Wichita and Den
ver. Of the three, the Indians and
Witches are owned by individuals.
There were times last season when
it looked as If major league clubs
had an interest In Oklahoma City,
Wichita and Denver, but so far as
we know these three clubs arc,
what you might term, independent
clubs,
n. . .
IE Tulsa Oilers, as everyone
knows, is controlled by the fc’t.
Louis Browns. When the West
ern first landed in Tulsa, Jim C'r^jy
ford, Phil Ball of the Browns and
Spencer Abbott owned the fran
chise. No one held a controlling in
terest. Then Abbott sold his Inter
est to the Browns and the St. Louis
Americans controlled the club.
Whether this lack of indepen
dence is going to help the baseball
situation in the Western remains to
be seen.
Fans remember in 1910 when flic
Oilers copped the flag. It was the
assistance from the Browns that
helped the Tulsa club to win the
race. However, the following season
didn't find the Browns lending
much of a hand to the Oilers and
as the result Tulsa landed in Hip
cellar of the standings. But in 1911.
Last season the Browns were
“Johnny-on-the-spot." Didn't the
St. Louis club send Dave Danforth
to Tulsa at a critical time in the
race? They did. What happened?
Nothing much, only Tulsa won the
championship. Of course, credit
must be given to Pitchers George
Boohler and Karl Black, also to
Bennett and Lamb, heavy sluggers,
but at that, Danforth turned in
many a victory for the Oilers.
• • •
ST JOSEPH has been a farm for
the Minneapolis Millers for two
years. The Saints haven't
copped a championship since the
Millers have heen farming their
players to the Saints and then drag
ging them hack
Last season St. Joseph was en
route to a pennant. The club was
hitting like a house afire and re
ceived good pitching. What hap
pened? The Minneapolis owner .vis
ited St. Joseph one day and when
he left the burg Bonow-itz and De
Kate, two of the liest Saint players,
were on their way to Minneapolis.
Now St. Paul. \ia "Mike" Kelley,
lias found ils way into Dew Moinew.
The Boosters received a little sup
port from Cleveland last season,
hut not enough to amount to any
thing. Just what will happen to the
Boosters now that St. Paul is in a
position to lend a helping hand, is
not known, hut it's pretty certain
that lies Moines will have a better
halt duh this season.

In 1910 when “Pa" Kourkr sold

the ol' town was full of rumors that
it was Detroit “greenbacks” that
swung the deal. Maybe the Tigers
helped and maybe they didn't.
Harney says they didn’t. That's

However, last season the Omaha
Kuffaloes received some assistance
from the Tigers, but not enough to
amount to anything.
