i'apa Bill Rourke's visit to Chicago tiad
espeelal significance. It was merely to
akn part In a little family talk
Ith tha other directors of the league,
C'antlllon and Tebeau. tliat he went over.
President O'Neill of the Western went
along it arrange for opening headquarters.
He wlli occupy a milto of rooms Jointly
with President O'Brien of the American,
ao that Mr. Tobcau's affair will be looked
after without the added exponas of dupli
cate offlcea nnd the Inconvenience that
attaches thereto. This la very nice, to be
sure. It Insures harmony of action and
ail that aort of thing. It also provokes
smiles among Viose who recall the condi
tion of two seasons ago, when Chicago
wasn't big enough to hold tha presidents
of tha American and Western at the same
timo. Verily, time does bring changes. It
may bo for tho best, though. At any
rato, It la to Mr. O. Ttbeau'a suiting, and
aa ha Is about the whole thing In minor
league ball Just now, the rent of us will
have to stand for It. That's all.
Tha sensation or' tne week In Western
league circles was the signing of snother
manager by Percy Chamberlain for tils Bt.
Joe bunch. This time It was William
Douglas of tho Philadelphia Nationals who
put his, fist to a Chamberlain contract. Aa
Tom Fleming and Jay Andrews already
had signed to manage Bt. Joe, It Is clear
to an outsider that Percy Is going to be
well equipped with managers. Maybe he
llgures that if he handles them carefully,
he con have one of the three always in
condition to play ball, lind thua be sure of
a manager for every game.
On Tuesday an Important conference will
bo held In New York, when tha minors will
meet the majors again In regard to the
drafting rule and other features of the
national agreement that are now up In tha
air. President O'Nell will be thero In be
half of the Western.

That the minor leagues Intend to for.se
tha major leagues to accede to their de
mand made at the meeting of the national
commission at Cincinnati several weeks ago
la evident from the statement made by P.
,T. Powers, president of the national assocl-
tlon, after a conference with Frank Ka
rell, owner of the Now York Americans.
Mr. Powers refused to divulge the motive
of the conference, but he said that the
American tragus would be made to under-
mi m, A .Via I Ivj. mlnnP tetanies mUNt be !"('-
speeted. The minor leagues, he snld, were
willing to make a concession to the major
leagues by adopting a resolution which
would prevent any player drsfted by a ma
jor league from returning to the club from
which he wan drafted inside of one yeur.
This, he said, would put a stop to the
evils which were illustrated by the case of
the Brooklyns. which drafted the entire
Baltimore team and then returned the play
era to that club after tho.tlma allowed or
drafting had expired. If, on the other hand,
the American league refused to pay the
drafting price, tl.SOO, demanded by tha
minor leagues, the latter would protect
themselves by "covering players' and by
, bogus sales.
v . The achedule meeting of the American
' league will be held next Tuesday and on
1 the next day the National meeting will be
held. The two committeea will work to
gether harmoniously. Conflicting dates
during the coming season will be practi
cally eliminated. When the schedules have
been completed It will be almost time for
players to coma clambering back from their
snowbank winter quarters with the custo
mary announcementa that they are In
orea Khane" and ready to give fandom a
real "run for Its money." Beginning with
the Ides of March, tlio players will as

Nationals going to Savannah, Oa.. and
Birmingham, . Ala., and the Americans to

ruling Canadian Hockey leagues tn rela
tion to the agltatiou now' at Its height
In 'Canada over the migration of star
hookeytsts to this country. This is a
subject upon which the Canadian hockey
authorities ars thoroughly aroused, and the
statement was made recently that If nec
essary the United States Immigration au
thorities would be asked to assist the
crusade by refusing to admit to the states
i hockey playors who crossed the border un
der oontraot either to play the game or
to oceupy certain places given In return
for their presence upon certain hockey
' ' teams. This move will not be made until
' the Amateur Athletlo union has been ap
' proached upon the subject, and will not

and willing to co-operate with the Can
adian authorities to stamp out this prsc

Nothing has stirred Harvard In a long
time so much as President Eliot's severe
arraignment of foot ball in his annual re
port. Backed, as his words were, by his
character and position, they have produced
an effect which can hardly be measured.
Many think they represent the last straw
which will break tip orevcr the old,
gruelling game of mass plays and avoirdu
pois and put in It place a new contest
where speed, endurance and Intelligence
will play a more prominent part. "Of
course, foot ball Is all fight," Said one
of tho players. "You would not wsnt It
to be anything else. Take a base bell
game, for Instance. The pitcher would not
throw nice, easy balls to the batsman
which he could knock all over the lot.
No; he tries to fool them by throwing ones
that cannot be hit. And the quicker the
pitcher Is In finding out the weak points
In his opponent the more effective and the
better man he Is. Well, it Is Jiist the same
In foot ball. You aim your play at the
weak spot In your opponent's line, be
cause It Is through that spot that you are
going to gain. All this talk about cripples
Is nonsense. If. a man be a cripple hs
has no right to play. It la the same way
In all games. Tou always take advantuge
of the weakest spot In the opposing team,
and all talk about Its being unsportsman
like and unkind Is all bosh."
Tho dates for the Pennsylvania foot ball
games next fall have been arranged, the
game with Harvard to be played on cither
the first or second Saturday of November
probably November 4. Virginia, which
was. played early In the season last year,
will have the Saturday Immediately fol
lowing the Harvard game this year. In
this position It will serve as a sort of prac
tice game to be played' during' the period
of usual slump after a hard game. Co
lumbia's date In also dependent on tho
Crimson game. If tho latter In scheduled
for November 4, Columbia will be played
on November 18, and If Harvard is sched
uled for November 11 the Blue and White
will be played November 4. The Indians
will be played the Saturday prior to
Thanksgiving day's games, when Cornell,
If present plans prevail, will be played.
I-Afayette, 'Instead of being played after
the Harvard game, will be given the lat
Saturday In October, and Brown will be
played tha week preceding. Other likely
changes In the 1906 schodulo are an ar
rangement of a game with North Carolina
for October 14. Swarthmore and Haver
ford will bath probably be played. State
College will be dropped on account of con
flicting dates. Klther Gettysburg or Frank
lin and Marshall may be dropped If the
North Carolina game is scheduled. Tho
season will probably open with Lehigh and
Swarthmore and North Carolina will have
the Saturday dates prior to the Brown con
test. Haverford and either Gettysburg or
r-raiiKiia ana .Marshall win piay on wednes
days.
The University of Pennsylvania is trying
to organise an Intercolleglato wrestling
association. J. Leonard Mason, gymnastic
instructor, Is supervising the move and re
cently left to visit Yale, Columbia and
Princeton, who have been asked to Join
the Quakers In forming the association.
A few days since J. E. Wosenflush, presi
dent of Penn's sparring and wrestling
club, sent invitations to Yale, Princeton
and Columbia to attend a wrestling tour
nament In the Quaker gymnasium the lust
of March. In the communication it was
stated that the object was to form a dell
nlte wrestling association andva few sug-
0os t ions were made in regard to the meet.
The plan was to have three classes of
wrestlers, a lightweight for those under 133
pounds, a middleweight for those from 13S
to . 156 pounds, a middle heavyweight
for those from 155 to 175 pounds, and a
heavyweight Per thoso over 176 pounds. The
regular amateur rules of catch-as-catch-can
were to be followed and each Institution
was to enter one contestant In each class.
Prices will be given first and seconds in
each class and Pennsylvania pays one-half
the expenses of the visiting; teams.
The intercollegiate relay races will prob
ably be the feature of the big Indoor meet
to be held by Columbia university at Mad
ison Square garden on Saturday evening,
March 18. Manager L. R. Merrltt, who is
In charge of the game, has received word
from Yale, Pennsylvania, Amherst and
other big colleges that they will enter
teams in the different relays, and will also
enter men in the other events, the most
Important of which will be the 300-yard
and two-mile amateur Athletic union cham
plonshlp events. In addition to the intercol
lcglate race and championship events tho
list will Include relay races open to ath
letlc clubs, schools, military and other ath
letlo organizations, and a number of spe-
clal events. Several prominent athletic
club have also notified the officials that
they will enter the pick of their athletes
in the relay races and other events to "be
contested.
What Is without doubt the most advanced
position taken In any part of the .country
with respect to' the regulations of college
athletics has gone into force among the
universities of the intercollegiate confer
ence, comprising the principal Institutions
of the middle west, Michigan, Chicago,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Purdue, Iowax, Mlnne
sota. Northwestern and Indiana, or the
"Big Nine," as they are popularly known,
Tha new condition provides that no stu
dent shall be on a 'varsity team until he
has successfully completed a half a year's
work in college, and will have its main in
fluencs In barring freshmen from playing
on the 'varsity foot ball teams of the col
leges In question. A motion In favor of
this condition passed at the meetings of
delegates In ths fall, subject to rejection
by the individual universities later if they
so voted, but otherwise becoming operative
after the expiration of slaty days. The
sixty days expired with the beginning of
this week, only ons university,' Minnesota,
voting against it so that tha provision bad
gone Into operation through the silent ac
quiescence of tha other college.
Although Minnesota voted against the
measure there was much opposition to It
elsewhere, mostly among the students,
however, and tho faculty and graduate ele
ment was strong enough at least to prevent
unfavorable action. Thero Is yet a chance
that the rule will be rescinded before the
next foot ball season begins, as it can be
overthrown at the meeting In June, but If
tpt it is expected to work exceedingly im
portant results. Its main Intention Is to
prevent the proselyting and temporary
colonisation for athletic purposes of men
who are not bonallde students; but It Is
likely to have quite a valuable effect In the
developing of Interclnis athletics, since
the freshmen will be thrown on their own
resources, and class contests will be the
natural outcome within the several colleges.
A revised schedule fr the coming trot-
I'iik season has been adapted at a meeting
of the stewards of the Orand Circuit, held
at the Waldorf-Astoria last week. The
new schedule Includes Cleveland, which h:is
been out of the circuit for two seasons.
The revised schedule follows: Detroit, week
of July I'l and 19; Cleveland, week of July
31-August 6; Buffalo, week of August 7-1:,
Empire City, week of August 14-19; Itead
vllle, week of August 21-K; Providence,
week of August IR-September 2; Hartford,
week of September 4-; Syracuse, week of
September 11-1S; Columbus, week of Sep
tember 18-23; Cincinnati, week of Septem
ber 26-30; Memphis, week of October lti-S.
At a meeting of the New York Bowling
association last week it wan decided to
scud a committee of five to the American
Bowling congress at Milwaukee, February
18, to request full recognftlon of a city or
ganization. At present the ' New York
Bowling asportation is in favor of joining
forces with tho American Bowling con
grtRS, and It is the general belief of the
members that the difference in opinion In
regard to the ball, clubs and square gut
ters will be cosily nettled when the rival
bodies meet. A motion was mado by
Charles H. Ebbltts that a committee of
five, with full power to act, provided the
American Bowling congress acceded to all
demands, be uppointed and sent to Milwau
kee to necurc recognition from the Western
body. Henry Medicus and Charles Ebhetts
wero the only two appointed at the meet
ing as nonu of the delegates could find it
convenient to attend the congress on hc
count of bunlnes?. The other three mem
bers, however, will be appointed by the
executive committee. Thero wan much dis
cussion, pro and con, about sending a com-
mltteo to Milwaukee, nnd a number of tho
delegates believed that the matter could be
settled through the malls. A letter from
Mayor Rose of Milwaukee, who Is presi
dent of the American Bowling congress,
gave tho New Yorkers assurance that their
demunds would be met If they were In any
way reasonable. It is believed that the dis
pute between the east and the west, which
has existed for threo years, will be finally
settled at Milwaukee now that the commit
tee ha received full power to act in tho
event that the congress accedes to the de
mand of tho New Yorkers. President Rose
of the American Bowling congress, in his
letter, assured tho New York Bowling as
sociation that all would be plain railing If
a committee appeared before the national
body, and if such is the case, and tho con
gress agrees on square gutters, one sub
stance bowling balls and homo rule for tho
New York Bowling association, the delega
tion has the power Immediately to Join the
congress as a city association on behalf of
tho local organization. As to the 106 con
gress, Charles 11. Ebbetts said that he had
not yet relinquished hopes of bringing the
event to New York. The action this week
simplifies matters, he said, and a final de
cision will be secured at a meeting of the
Alley Owners' association. Ebbetts nnd
Medicus will enter the two-men and Indi
vidual content In the national tournament.
They will probably be the only contestants
from New York.
As a result of the Army-Navy foot ball
game at Philadelphia last November the
trustees of the Army and Navy relief fund
have received the sum of 117,000. This
amount, the proceeds of the sale of
tickets to the general public last full, will
be equally divided between the societies
for the care of orphans and widows of
the soldiers and sailors of the Army and
Navy. The game of 1808 cleared 118,000 for
tha fund, so that In two years J35.000 hns
been added to the amount used to aid
tho families of deceased enlisted men.
As soon as possible a challenge will be
sent by the United States National Lawn
Tennis association for the Dwight F. Da
vis cup, now held In England by the
Doherty brothers. This action was voted
for at the annual meeting at the Waldorf
Astoria last week. In order to see what
material would be available for the com
petition, letters were sent to AV. A.
Lurned, Holoombe Ward, W. A. Clothier,
Beales C. Wright. Malcombo Whatman,
Raymond D. Little, S. B. Alexander and
Krelgh Collins, asking if they could go
abroad if selected. Excepting Whitman
and Alexander, all replied in the affirma
tive, so that a strong team can be counted
upon, made up of Larned and Ward to
gether with either Clothier or Wright or
both. The secretary's report showed that
ten new clubs hod been added during the
year, making a total of elghty-nvo clubs
and 123 associations. 1
The benefits of such a meet as the one
recently closed at Ormonde, Fla., are many
and varied. In the first place the American
makers have shown vast Improvement in
the manufacture of cars and the foreign
cars have not won all the honors. The
American makers are named, but strangely
enough those American makers who have
won the main honors are private makers,
building car for their own amusement.
Louis Ross, with tho "Teakettle," built
with Stanley engines, in hi own basement,
gained premier honors and held tip the
Star and Stripes to the breeze with a
mile in 33 seconds with a tweuty-horBe
power steamer. Walter Christie, designer
and manufacturer of the revolving turret
for battleships, reached the 42d mark with
his sixty-horse power front-driving car.
Mr. Christie's racer won honors for Its
novelty, while the Boss steamer, now the
property of F. F. Ed Spooner, and to be
driven by Joe Nelson, the little cyclist,
former champion among pace followers,
brought honor by defeating the fastest
European cars. '

will hurry through cars to win another
year. In the time trial when Bowden
made the 324 second mile record arrange
ments hud been mude to catch the kilo

after this trial that he never saw the tape

flew over the mile mark he thought it
was the kilometer and kept on at full speed.
Shortly afterward he begun to wonder

The West Point cadets base ball schedule
lias been completed and they will open the
season on April 8 with I'nlon college. There
are eleven games scheduled und two will
also be arranged for the second team, to be
pluyed April 9 and on May 6, with some of
the smaller collegt. This belrg the Middles'

will tske place on the home diamond. With
tho graduation of Hackett. Whipple and

Captain Winston Is confident they can be
ably replnced from the material at hand.
Definite arrangements have not been com
pleted for the coach, but In all probability
the team will be Instructed by a league
man. The following Is the schedule: April

Omaha lowlers may take several morsels
of comfort In finding themselves promi
nently mentioned ' In Spalding's Official
Bowling Guide for 1905. Just to hand. While
it Is not at thin time an item of news. It
will not lie amiss to refer again to the
record made on Omaha association alleys
MayS of last year by the Kxcelnior bowl
ing tenm. Thin record takes first place In
Spalding's1 Ouide, under the heading of
"Tho best games of the year." A half
tone picture of the Excelsior team Is
glv;n, with a copy of the score sheet,
showing the record referred to. The mem
bers of the Excelsior team at the time
the record was mude were Frltscher,
Hodgcn, Spiague, Chandler and Hunting
ton, all of whom arc now active members
of the Omaha Bowling association and
topnotchers In, the ranks of local tenpln
knights. Tho record established by the
Excelsiors has been published from time
to time all over the country and due
credit given. The totsl for the three suc
cessive games played by the five mcm
b.vs of the Excelsior teuni on May IS wss
3,232 pins, the total nun.ber of pins by
games being: First game, 1,057; second
game, 1,0; third game, 1,137. The totals
by players were: - FTitscher, 629; Hodges,
705; Sprague. Cj;' Chandler, 626; Hunting
ton, 616. Nor Is that all by a Jug full.
The Excelsiors wero not content to rent
on the laurels already earned, but went
ahead and rolled tip a score of 3,2Go for
three successive gurnet by a five-man
team since the 3,232 score was made. The
3,260 score wan made as follows: Frltscher,
630; Hodges, 627; Bprague, 598; Chandler,
732; Huntington, 673. First game, 1.06C;
second game, 1.1S6; third game, 1,018. Thin
3.260 score has been recognized by papers
all over the country as being tho present
record for three successive games for a
five-man team, and tho 1.1S6 plus, made In
1ho second game, as the record for a nln
glo game by a flve-mau tcum.
Mention Is also made in Spalding's Bowl
ing Ouido of tho work performed by the
Omaha contestants at the Cleveland tour
nament lost year. In tho two-man con
tents Frltscher and Norton and Huntington
and Bartsch came within the money, whllo
Huntington and Bart-sch were in the run
ning in the one-man matches. Under the
heading of "Tho Best Games of the Year,"
the Gate City 1b mentioned In Spalding's
guide in this manner: "Omaha, Neb.,'
which was partially off the bowling map
less than three years ago, already boasts
of some clever rollers. This In best proven
by the three games the Excelsiors rolled in
the Omaha Bowling league on May , 1904."
The standings a week ago of tho members
of tho old Kxcelsior bowling team were as
follows:

FrlLacher 'and Huntington will go to the
Milwaukee tournament as members of Cap
tain Huntington's team, while Hodges will
go with Captain Reed's team. Sprague
und Chandler may go as Individuals. It is
now assured that Huntington's and Reed s
teams will go to Milwaukee, with ah ea
oort of members of the Omaha, Bowling
association, some of whom will enter 'the
one-man and two-man events.
On the association alleys last Monday
evening Sprague broke this year's local
record for one game played in ths league
series by making 289 pins, falling down on
the eleventh bull. While Sprague was
playing .his game on one alley a most
singular coincidence occurred on another
alley, where Huntington was playing a so
cial game, making exactly tha same score
Sprague did and In the same manner, with
the exception that with the eleventh ball
Sprague failed to knock the six pin over,
while Huntington missed the four pin.
Both eames were finished about the same
time. Of course, Huntington's game, being
a social one, does not go on record,
although he divided the honors of the even
ing with Sprague.
Mrs. Richard Grotte has returned to the
alleys and la rapidly getting back into
her old-time form. Last season she was
one of the most expert woman bowlers of
the city. Manager Marble of the associa
tion alleys Is devoting the morning hours
to Instructing the women patrons of the
alleys. He says the average man has not
the right conception In the matter of
teaching the fair sex how to bowl.
"Arise and elnf!"aa Ell Perkins would
exclaim. Rejoice and be much glad, for
roller polo is once again a live Issue In
the world of local sports. Two games
have already been played between the
Auditoriums and the Omahas at the Audi
torium, with other games In prospect. Dur
ing the last week three other polo teams
have shied their castors into the ring
and have been practicing the game on the
Auditorium arena. These new teams are
the Union Pacific Shops, Bennett's and
the Dreshers. Then some of the old-time
polo players are talking of reorganising
the Omaha Wheel club team, which won
tha state championship back In tha early
nineties. During the week Billy Town
send went through his archives and dug
up a photograph of the old wheel club
team and placed the picture In his show
window for the public to gaze on.
The old guard of sports, particularly,
will remember when Jack Prince put on
roller polo at the Coliseum, where Oscar
Epeneter, Harry Rhoades, Walter Marsh,
William Roberts. Billy Coombs, Bert Por
terneld. Will Plxley and Billy Townsend
and others, drove tho little ball In front
of the skates. And such crowds! Last
Tuesday Townsend, Rhoades, Pixley, Den
man, Kbersole and others met at the Com
mercial club rooma and talked 'over tha
old days, which came back with a bump.
And before the little coterie of sportsmen
dispersed there was a general sentiment
In favor of organizing a team and going
against the youngsters now doing things
at tha Auditorium. And so the outlook,
and even the present. Is bright for roller
polo In Omaha. Manager Gtllan of the
Auditorium experts to put two more games
on this week and hopes to arrange to
have a series of games for ths champion
ship If the present Interest In the game
continues. Both the Omaha and Audi
torium teams are anxloua to meet some
team from out In the state, the first
gam to be played at tha Auditorium.
These two teams were the Hint on the
field In tho present revival of the game
here and expect to look to their laurels.
They are practicing aaHlUumtaly several
times a week and are smoothing off the
rough edges In their playing.

All plans for tne coming season on tho
links were left to a committee l report
In April, at the annual meeting of loo
Women's Metropolitan Golf association IbmI
week. There Is to be an expression of
opinion taken at the different cubs re
garding the retention of the two dlvlulous
la the team match circuit, or whether to
have but one series, and the committee will
gather the facts. It is not at all likely
that, the annual meeting of the L'mteU
Stutes Golf association, to bo held In New
York on Monday, February 13, will be
altogether a love feast. While a split be
tween the west and the east is not prub
able, still few expect that the report of
the special committee appointed last year
to revise the method of representation, will
bo unanimously adopted. Tho west, which
requested revision and got it, is not en
tirely pleased with lh reault. In fact, that
section is inclined to demur. A writer in
ths current number of Golf comments upon
the report as follows: "It must be con
fessed that the report Is a disappointment.
Speaking generally, the report shows above
everything that tho east clings tenaciously
to the power In golf affairs It acquired
upon the organisation of the association,
and which it has retained ever since. The
lowering of the dues of ths active members
from 1100 to 150 a year means nothing so
far as transferrence of power Is concerned. J
The active, members still retain the voting
power and the allied members are expected
to be content with representation to the
extent of one-third upon the executive com
mittee. Under the new scheme, notwith
standing tho reduction in dues, tho allied
members will vastly outnumber the active
members, yet the latter are still to be left
In control. Ths executive committee surely
cannot Imagine that such an arrangement
has In It any element of permanency, but,
if they will InslBt upon making not two,
but a dosen, bites at tho cherry before
swallowing, that la their affair. To on
lookers It Is simply a tedious process, sug
gesting the humorously pathetic efforts of
a terrified csar to prolong his mediaeval
form of government. The petition asks
that the annual meeting ba held once In
every two years in the middle west, and
this matter In to be left to the discretion
of the executive committee, instead of tha
president as heretofore, if tho association
existed upon a democratic basis the de
mand would be a reasonable one. There
Is, however, little force In the proposal,
seeing that nine-tenths of the principals
in the drama, the active members in whom
alone Is power, belong to the east, and
why should they be dragged 1,000 miles
from their homes to please some allied
members who figure nearly as supernu
meraries in the procedlngs? First make
ths basis of the association thoroughly
representative, and other results will follow.
