boys didn't propone to glide, entirely out of
eight, and with Jutt a little good luck now
they will be able to end In good form, even
If they don't art out of lant place. It'a no
disgrace to get licked If you go down fight
ing. Remember what Baldwin Bald when
he didn't find the North Pole or anything
that looked like it. "Baffled but not
beaten." That'a what happened to Omaha
In tho pennaflt chkae thla year. We were
baffled all right, but we'll be right up and
after them next season. Rourke Isn't say.
If iB a great deal (or publication, but In his
quiet way be has announced thnt come
Deeded (harajros will be made and the team
will start next season with much better
prospects than It has enjoyed recently. The
Omahas certainly looked good on paper
last spring, and If, they had only half
made good would have been a factor In the
race all summer. But disappointment came,
and no one wtts more sorely hit than Papa
Bill. He waa unable to better hlmaelf, and
for a time vti unable to get men to take
the place of seriously crippled players. Two
at least of those men are entitled to more
than the ordinary amount of credit for the
persistency with which they have stuck
to the game. Gondlng had an arm broken
by a pitched ball early In the season, and
went back Into the game before the In
Jury waa completely healed. Thla hurt waa
a serious handicap to him In batting dur
ing the early games, and t some extent
Interfered with his throwing. Eddie Hlckey
has played for weeks with a torn tendon In
hi right hand, but has gamely faced one
hot drive after another when he knew that
topping the ball would hurt him clear to
his toes. Carter Yes a leg that would send
the averngo rruin to a hospital; Genlns has
Buffered for weeks from the effect of old
Injuries, yet these men have stood up
bravely and- faced the music for the glory
of tho game and to help out the manage
ment. This fidelity la something that money
cannot buy. And others of the team have
been as loyal, and have faced defeat with
determination rather than despair, so that
much of the chagrin at losing has been
tost In the cheerful readiness with which
the boys were willing to try again. And
now for next season's team.
' Just at present the Hlckeyltea are facing
little trouble of their own. In rehabili
tating the Southern league, which baa
few wenk members, It la proposed to In
clude Louisville. It Is argued, and with
owe 'force, that the home of the Colonels
Is naturally with the Southern and that
It would profit Mr. Tebeau much If he
Yre to loave the American, association
and cast his lot with the Southern league.
Of course, this is purely speculative, and
probably has as much foundation in fact
and no more than the pretty little story
sent out from Milwaukee during the week
that a brewer up there Is about to buy out
the present owners of the Western league
franchise and. continue Jhs business at .the
eld stand. This deal Is said to be con
tingent on Bexton showing the prospective
purchaser "the goods." If Sexton can show
the goods to any one In Milwaukee be ought
to be given all the money that changes
hands In the deal.
Another of the yarns of the week Is that
Lucas Intends to give his Pacific National
league another run. He says his towns are
all good and his backers game, That's
all that any league needs for success; but
as Lucas' towns refused to patronise his
teams and as hla backers laid down on him,
and his players didn't get their money.
It looks at this distance as If he were on
a dead card. Maybe the cases are wfong,
but evidence offered Is all the other way.
Another of the subjects for conversation
just now is the attitude of the minors con
cerning the proposition of the majors for a
national agreement. It appears on the sur
face that Pat Powers thinks Ban Johnson
wants to be a king; and one can hardly
rwnu mie uuiuum vn mis topic wnnoui
thinking that Pat would like to do a tittle
king turn hlmsolf. Specifically, the minora
object to the rdraft price; likewise to the
attitude of parental authority assumed by
the majors In reserving the right to disci
pline the owners, managers or players of
the minora Thla latter obstacle la not In
superable, nor does the first appear to be.
It la contended by some of the majors,
James A. Hart of Chicago, for example,
that the minors will be treated fairly under
the draft rule, that only a minimum price
and not a maximum la fixed, and that com
petition will always determine the price to
be paid for a star player. And that In sur
rendering the "farming" privilege the
majors have relinquished that which Is of
mure value to them than the draft matter
can possibly be to he miners. After the
Powers push has exhausted Its hot air, the
national agreement may be discussed
calmly snd it Is not at all unlikely that
It w.ll be ratified. One thing Is g.s.)lng in
the extreme-no one haa objected to Oarry
Herrman as the arbitrator.
PRAQUE. Neb., Sept. I. To the Editor
of The Bee: Please give your opin
ion on the following dispute which
occurred during a base ball game: A run
ner was stealing third bsse and as be waa
going to leap for the base the baseman
stuck up lils knee and knocked the wind
nut of the runner, who fell over unconscious
within two feet of the baae. The baseman
muffed the ball and ran out In the field to
get It, came back and touched the runner,
who was called safe by the umpire. The
Infield pnrty protested the umpire's decision
and demanded ' that the runner be called
out. In order to proceed with the game the
umpire changed his decision snd called the
runner out. Please decide If that waa a
fair deal. Shouldn't there have been called
time or shouldn't the track been clear and
the runner given the base Just the same
because he was Interfered wlthT P.
The umpire Is the sole Judge of such a
play, and should give his opinion as he sees
It. Under the rules of the game he has no
right to change a decision once made. In
fact he Is prohibited from so doing, but
has ample power to punish a team for re
fusing to abide by his decision. A runner
deliberately blocked off the base when he
would have been safe without Interference
should be called safe; but It Is a very deli
cate question to determine If the Interfer
eace Is deliberate, and the rule most gener
ally followed Is that accidents on the ball
feld are unavoidable, and therefore the
penalty of any misfortune should be borne
uncomplainingly by the side suffering. In
the Instance here cited, without the most
positive and convincing proof that the third
baseman Intentionally blocked off the run
ner, the umpire should call the runner out
and stick to his decision, whether the gam
went on or not.
GOSSIP FROM THE' GRIDIRON
Foot Ball Caatcfcars Are Basy with
Their Son a 4 s, Trylag te Pick
Wlaalng Teaane.
The opening days of college are still a
few weeks off, but in the east and the mid
dle west coma reports of practice of a few
of the larger teama Northward hoi haa
been their cry and there are several nun
dred aspiring candidates for foot ball glory
that have. Journeyed Into the far north
with their coaches and trainers In the hopes
of hardening muscles and strengthening
lungs beyond the hopes of the most ardent
of the later aspirants.
Coach Williams haa taken twenty Penn
ylvania men to one of New Jersey's sum'
mer resorts and Is getting- them Into condi
tion. The University of Illinois haa taken
thirty or forty men to Spring lake, where
they wtll spend two or three weeks getting
Into shape. Purdue's squad baa gone Into
quiet camp along the banks of the Tippe
canoe river.
But the great majority, of the teams of
the leading colleges have given up the Idea
of a two or three-weeks' trip Into some
country place before the season. In fact
the teama of the Big Nine have made an
agreement not to begin practice more than
two weeks before the opening of school
and more and more of the universities are
coming to the conclusion that the early
training Is of little benefit and does not
Justify the expense which It puts the ath
letic board to. Little Is done at these foot
ball camps beyond the toughening of
muscles and the strenpgthenlng of the play
era' wind. This the players can encompass
almost as easily at home as In the camp
and then only a 'few of the new men are
seen In the camp and It la the old men who
ret the benefit of the work, and they do not
need It as much as the younger men who
are not familiar with the methods of train
Ing. Three or four years ago no college
was considered a strong foot ball school un
less It had a squad out training weeks be
fore the opening of school, but this has
changed, fortunately.
The men that Coach Woodruff of the Unt
verslty of Pennsylvania has at Beach
Haven are showing up as a promising
bunch of playera and they are being given
a great deal of practice In punting and

Zlegler, the former Penn Charter fullback..
Hurry-Up" Toet of Michigan waa with
the team, on which he once played, the
other day and gossiped a little about Michi
gan and how he made his team. Among
other things that he said was:
I do not give my men over a half hour's
scrimmage practice any day during the sea
son, but I give them an hour's signal prac-
ice. l am a great believer In signal tirao

do not use plays In series, but the quar
terback gives the signals while tbe men are
all tangled on the around after the game
Of course. If the opposing team delays the
same br feigned Injuries and calls for time
my scheme of fast play is handicapped. We
only beat Wisconsin Isst yea lor tnia
reason, whereas we ought to have won by
60-0. By faat play I shift my method of at
tack before the opposing team can catch
on, and thua keep them guessing. If a man
loafs in signal practice 1 soon persuade him
that he la doing wrong.
No. I am not a great believer In summer
practice. We are going to have It this year.
Din no scrimmage worn win ne none, ana
the time will be spent In practicing sprint
ing, starts and handling the bull. In order
o have Derfert smoothness of attack I
place my oackfleld men according to their
speed, so thst they will sll hit the point
of resistance at the same moment.
How do we compare with the eastT Well,
esstern men claim one way and western
men claim another. Conch Slagg of Chi
cago says that we could hsVe beaten Har-
vara aecisiveiy last lau. Dtagg is a xaie
man,, you know.
Tost will be somewhat handicapped In
beginning the season this fall, aa Ave of
the championship eleven are gone from the
ranks. All of his powers of organization
and concentration will be needed for him
to make a team that can equal the record
of his last year's team and It la hardly
likely that he can equal It.
Stagg Is at work at Chicago and he pre
dicts that the Midway school will have the
best team In several years. The team his
suffered somewhat from depictions and the
material In sight Is not aa good as that
of a year ago, but he refuses to talk much
of his new material, so that there Is a
feeling that he has some new men up his
sleeve.
Illinois, which meets Nebraka on Thanks
giving day, is preparing material at Spring
lake, with Coach George W. Woodruff In
charge, and the outlook Is certainly very
bright. There were eleven veterans of
other years and a bunch of new men In the
crowd that went to Spring lake. With
sacJi men as Joe Wilson, C. A. Falrweather,
Huntoon, Bronson, Diener, Kasten, Rump,
Harmon, Bethel, Welley and Barter' back
and a bunch of new fellows, who all tip
the scales at 180 or more, there seems to
be Uttle lack of material. The team has
a new heavyweight In Hasselwood. who
weighs a little over 250 pounds and la ab
solutely green to the game.
Another of Nebraska's opponents that Is
of the Big Nine caliber Is Knox, and It
begins ths year with all of Its old team
back, but, despite this fsct and the record
of the team last year, the Knox atudenta
do not feel very cheerful. The new coach,
Wlllard, Is an alumnus of Knox and haa a
record as a quarterback on Columbia uni
versity's team. But he ia a person who
lacks executive ability and control and
there la a fear that he will not prove a
successful coach for the team.
Columbia university la always one of ths
teams that the Big Four In the east must
reckon with and prospects at Columbia are
brighter thla year than for several yean
past. Twelve veterans of last year's
varsity and scrub team are back for prac
tice and there Is a liberal sprinkling of ne
material. . The athletlo council haa rented
a houae cloae to the college grounds for
the team to use aa training quarters, and.
with South yield In good shape, Columbia
Is In good condition to take care of Its
men. Coach Morley Is on the ground work
Ing with tbe new men and he will begin
at once to round them Into shape for the
season. Both Tale and Pennsylvania play
Columbia In New Tork City this falL
The new foot ball rules still continue to
perplex the players and every one Is busy
planning the style of play that will carry
through the season. As the discussion con
tlnues It seems to be the general opinion
that the formation play of the last two or
three years Is bound to go, as It will be
Impossible to teach a team two systems
of play as radically different as the forma
tlon play and the open running game In the
short season. The open game with seven
men In the line when the ball Is put In play
must be learned for the sixty yards Inside
and naturally the whole system of play
will be fashioned after thla system on
most of the teama It will mean a re
version not only to the old line bucks with
the backs, but also to the sensational end
runs. These never proved aa sure as did
the plays through the lines with a forma
tlon, but the gains were large when the
play succeeded. A variety of plays can be
evolved In this end run by sending the
tackle or the end around the end limteal
of the halves or the fullback. Then there
are the old crlsa-rroases and the double
paas and all of the other old tricks of ths
open formation. There are many who de
clare that the en Is and tackles have be
come so highly proficient that It Is Im
possible to send the men around the end
for long gains and only a season's play
can answer the assertion well and properly,
Another thing that Is expected to be
brought Into the game again is punting.
A weak team on the offensive will use the
kicking game whenever It can. If It haa
any one who can kick well. Then the
quarterback kick will probably be brought
out again and used by many of tho teims.
Harry Crandall, who played halfback
for several years on Nebraska's 'varsity, Is
trying to secure the position of assistant
coach at the university and will undoubt
edly be taken on to coach the back field.
Stub'a work at half waa well known while
he waa on the team and he will prove a
valuable conch for the team to ali John

effect whlrh will do much to Increase the
skill of the players of the' game. The old-
time heavily loaded ball haa been relegated
to obscurity and the new ball Is light and
weighs but sixteen and a half pounds.
With thla ball the gaining of points has
become more a matter of skill and less one
of mere strength than ever before and
many of the stsrs of the alley will be
forced to spend more time carefully prac
ticing for the skill necessary to sweep
down tbe pins. As It waa before, a swiftly
thrown ball of nineteen or twenty pounds
weight did not have to hit the headpln at
all to make a strike. Its mere weight top
pled over the pins. It Is not so, though,
now with this lighter ball. It must be
thrown accurately to secure the effect and
It means more skill and less of brute
strength.
Locally there is a general disposition
among the knights of the pin to look upon
the new rule as a good one and satisfac
tory In general. The most of the better
players In Omaha have been using ths
loaded ball, but they have all been practic
ing recently with the new ball and are
getting satisfactory results with the new
ball, although they have not all gotten Into
the swing yet with the light ball. But the
most of the players are In fair practice, aa
they have been playing most of the sum
mer on different city tesms and around on
the different alleys simply because the love
of the sporUwas more than their fear of the
heat and summer thirst that goea with all
things athletic.
HUNTERS AFTER GAME AGAIN

The hunter has come bant to Ms own
with the opening of the season for the
shooting of duck and geese on September L
The water birds are plentiful on the Ne
braska streams and lakes and many of the
hunters have taken advantage of the open
season to get away already. For fifteen
days flocks of duck and geese have been
winging their way southward and they are
abundant even close to Omaha. Oood bags
have been brought In from near Omaha,
with ten and fifteen miles, along the Mis
souri river and on the nearby lakes.
In the spring the water was too high
for the hunters to get the ducks, but now
there Is no such excuse and the bags
promise to be heavy. Some of the hunters
have gone out along the Platte and the
Elkhorn and they send back reports of
plenty of gsme and nice cool days and
nights to add to the Joys of the hunting.
It Is a month until tbe open season for
chicken and quail, but many of the hunter
have gone Into the Dakotas to hunt the
birds, aa they declare that the Nebraska
season Is too late for any chicken shooting
and If they want them they must go to
the states where the season opens In time.
AMONG THE LOCAL BOWLERS

There Is still some Uttle uncertainty
among local bowlers as to Just what the
coming season la going to bring forth In
bowling, but It la generally conceded by
even the least aangulne that this winter
will be more of a bowling winter than haa
ever been known In the annals of the sport
In Omaha before. Ths Omaha Bowling
league will be In the field again with eight
teams, although Ita makeup will be some
what different from that of the precid
Ing yeara The St. Charles and Oate City
teams will be out of the league, but their
places will be filed by other tt am equally
aa strong. The Orphans wtil undoubtedly
take the charter of the St. Cbarlea snd ths
Oate City's charter will be disposed of at
tbe meeting of the league thla afternoon.
Next spring the stats tournament will be
held In Omaha and the local league will
bend all of Its efforts during ths winter
season to prepare for this event In order
that Omaha may be even more successful
In this tournament than It was list sptlg
when Lincoln bowlers were uniformly and
persistently successful In their efforts.
