f
TALL INC. repeat
filly in the final
period after
amassing a safe
lead over the
lies Moines uni
versity Tigers,
the Creighton
university Blue
jays turned what
had proved to be
an exciting game
in the first period
into a lack luster
affair. Creighton
won, 25 to 13.
The game was
played at the
.
Tim first half brought an exhibi
tion *»f «‘lever guarding by both ag
gregations. and the play was spirited,
but in tlm second half the Bluejays
deadened tlm games by stalling.
1'laj would become intense and the
•ash rustoitier.il would lurch forward
nn their respective benches when
”oop, the ball would dart hack to the
Hilltop defense.
‘ Ike" Mahonev at one time held
ill*' ball for three minutes, by the
timekeepers Light.
Coach Crowell's five surprised the
Uiuejnv s in the first period by put
ting up a stubborn defense which had
not been looked for.
After the defeat of Creighton’s
first north central conference foes,
the Morningside five, last Tuesday,
earers of the Blue anticipated an
• ihrr walkaway, but they were de
ceived.
Presenting a ft eel rimmed barricad
ing machine, the Tigers held the
Bluejays to three field goals in the
t ; *t period, and were but two points
1 chi.'id the Omahans at the halfway
mark, when the score stood 9 to 7
in Creighton's favor.
Tn the final half Johnny Troutman
* *»t busy with those educated hands
<1 his and by flopping five field goals
through the netted hoop, from all
rngles and distances, put his mates
safely to the front.
About the only one who approved
• Creighton’s stalling was Referee
Ldmonds. who enjoyed a pleasant
fiesta on the maple court during the
final period.
Troutman lead the scoring with 12
pt ints. Frank Ryan had five and
Mahoney four, t'orenman dropped in
.i neat one from the side for two
prints, and Hpeicher added a brace
of counters over the free throw
route.
Couchman scored five of the loser’s
counters with two long ringers and a
tree throw. Captain Knapp was next
with four points.

National League
Mags Gather For
! Golden Jubilee
Gathering to Be Held in Par
lors of Hotel here First
Meeting Was Staged
in 1876.
By AsMH'iaf «*<l l’r«*s».
»V YORK, Fell. L—
I luh owners of the
Natl o nal league,
baseball's oldest
circuit, will go
hack to the cradle
of their organiza
tion tomorrow* to
celebrate the start
of the 50th year of
its history.
They will meet
in the ancient par
lors of the old
Broadway f entral
hotel, w here on Feb
ruary 2, 1870, the
National league was horn with repre
sentatives of clubs in Boston, Brook
lyn, Philadelphia, Hartford, Chicago,
\ CinciiinaU, Louisville and >1. Ijovris.
I llaitford and Louisville hate been re
| placi d by New \ oi k and l>ittsburgh
; in the present circuit, but the other
! six charter members still hold fran
chises, although there have been some
breaks in their membership.
Tomorrow's meeting, a prelude to
the midwinter business session of the
magnates Tuesday, marks the official
opening of the National league's gold
mm jubilee anil is one of a series of
commemorative affairs planned. The
jubilee celebration will culminate in
an elaborate affair in February, 11125,1
when the semi ceiitinnial date of tin
league's existence will occur.
Minutes «»f the first meeting of the
old National league shed an inter
esting light on the aims of the club
owners of that day. Two of the ob
jects of be league as it was formed a
half century ago, were “to establish
and regulate the baseball champion
ship of the t’nited States'' and a pro
vision that “no club shall be admitted
from any city whose population I*
less than 750.000, except by unani
mous vote of the league.”
Formation of tl»e national league at
that time was prompted by a group
of baseball men who broke away from
the national association of profession
al baseball clubs.
Morgan t*. Bulker. former governor
of Connecticut, who represented the
Hartford club at the meeting, wa*»
| elected first president of the national
league.
John \\ . Heydler. present bead of
the National league, has taken a
