Great Men of iriE nam of lierfelflngr will abide In foot ball annal so lone aa there la anr foot ball. Heffelfln ger wu a star foot ball player nearly twunty years ago, yet It doubted whether hla equal aa a may ba guard aver tiaa been known. In tha tin of really great plajrera of foot ball sine the early -go hla nam atamla out with Undlmmed brightness to this day. He waa one of a group of great men of tha grid Iron of the period dating back to Walter Camp'a time and continuing up to and through ly. The game haa undergone changea In that time and underwent Ita moat pronounced and beat change in 1906, but auch waa the natural prowess of Ita great men that any of them could hare performed aa bril liantly under one aet of rulea aa another. The Heffelflngere and Rlggses, Cowana and Newella, Camp and Poea of long ago would have been aa much at home with the forward paaa, onslde kick, ten-yard rule and neutral tone aa the Forbeaea and Eckersalla. Earliest In the Select claps cornea Walter Tamp. Camp played the game In the early 80s and waa aa good a player aa ha Is a coach. Greater praise no man can have. Camp waa a halfback, a fast, elusive run ner and a fine ail-round actor on the grid Iron. If there be any so benighted aa not to know where he played It may be said that It waa at Tale. A few veara after rnmn'a ttm .... ' In New Haven, the place where the foot ball pi ay era oome from, another famous halfback, Wyllya Terry by name. He and Eugene Richards were a mighty pair of backs, wonderful kickers both. Contempo raneoua with them waa Aleck Moffat of Princeton, another accomplished toe artist. ' Terry and Richarda are out of the game I entirely except aa spectators, but Moffat . Still conches occasionally. Heffelflnger and Jesse Ttlgga were rival guards for several years, the one at Yale and the other at Princeton, and both were In the top notch division. Other great players at or about that time were Bum cClung. the fast dodging halfback; GUI. tha tackle; Pa Corbfn. the center, and , Wally Winter, tackle. They were all Yale men. Harry Beecher, alao of Yale, waa one of the best quarterbacks that ever played, , lie being a star In tha lata '80. Another great player who achieved hla j fame at Yale waa Frank Butterworth. who played in tha early "90a he was In the class of "95. Butterworth was a fine kicker nd ground gainer, a man born to the game, aa were all those mentioned here. On tha same team with Butterworth waa Frank Hlnkey, the greatest end rush of all time, an unerring tackier, who had the foot ball instinct to a high degree. From hla fresh man to hla aenlor year. Inclusive. Hlnkey . made the 'varsity team hands down and was in a olaaa by himself as an end. Ha had the unusual record of being placed four times on tha All American team. In build lie was not of the familiar foot ball type, being alight In appearance and rather flat cheated. But ha waa active, aggressive SPORTING GOSSIP OF WEEK Papa Bill Hears from Book Franks in a Boundabotit Fashion, 'SCOREBOARD THE GREAT PROBLEM NOW .Pinochle Experts and Some Base Ball Authorities Called Into Consnlta tloa aa to How It Should Ba Arranged. Almost. Papa, Bill has heard from Buck Francks. He sent the elusive Buckeiino a registered letter containing a contract for 1907, and has received the postofflce, receipt for the same. That Is almost Isn't ItT But it Isn't Buck that Is keeping Papa BUI awake these nights. It Is the score board. Now, to any one who has not given the subject much thought, a score board would seem an easy proposition. But It isn't Just a place to hang up number and ciphers might be arranged easily. But that Is not the thing your Pa wants on his pasture next summer. He is after a score board that mean something. In addition to showing the number of runs made in each Inning played by all the leagues in the country, he wants to show the local game so that It will agree with the score card kept by each of the fans. This what Is worrying him. Every patron of the grandstand at least keeps track of the game on a tab as It goes along, and out In the bleachers they scorn such thlnas as pencil and paper and keep the record of plays In their heads, emptying them of everything else so as to have room. If the paper the next morning doe not tally with their recollection, why, the paper la wrong. That Is the situation Pa Is trying to meet. He has had Brother Dave and Jerry and Joe figuring on the matter on a pinochle basis, while Sandy Grlswold and Bull Thomas have had the matter undor thought for a number of days. Out of all this mental capacity Pa hopes to get something In the way of a core board that will give the sweetest and youngest thing In the grand stand all the Information she desires about the game, and keep the blta and errors according to tha count of tha most seasoned bleacherlte, and to explain to Inquirers why one man Is kept on tha pay roll and another Is lot go. This score board will be tha pride of lila Ufa wlien It la completed. By tha way, Pa has about completed a deal with Char ley Murphy of Chicago whereby he will get a trio of pitchers from tha Cub stafT. and thia will aurely put him In right. Around the circuit they are sitting up and taking dua notice of what la going on In the world, and the prospects are fine for the most auspicious season In tha his tory of the Western league. The harmony Session over at Chicago seems to have pushed the clouds sll away and now there Is nothing to do but await the call of time. The list of youngsters announced last week by Omaha has madu tho local fans prick tip their ears In anticipation of the rail to "Flay ball!" and each of the real buga Is waiting now as he never did before the trial of tha kids. Buck Francka may go to tha new outlaw league which Dugdale and Lucas are try ing to frame up In the Pacific northwest. Just what ha intends to do Is not as yet Indicated, but ha Isn't showing any great anxiety to coma to Omaha to play aecond base and captain the team. Women lawn tennla players are display ing Interest In the eighth national Indoor championship tournament, as for the first time In the history of the game a woman's ingles championship will ba played. This la a move to follow tha English custom, and tha members of tha Seventh (Regiment Lawn Tennla club, under whoaa auspices the championship will ba held, are busily engaged In enlisting tha entries of tha lead ing woman experts, and It la said that Miss Helen Horoana, tha national champion, and her partner In tha holding of the doublea title, Mlaa Clover Boldt, will both compete. Notices of tha tournament have Juat been Sent out, and the mutches for tha cham pionship titles will begin ond Monday, Feb ruary lk, and continue through th week I u the courts uf the iMvanUt regiment ar- J the Gridiron and wonderfully intuitive. N man whom he tackled fell forward. Rrlhk Thorne succeodrd Hlnkey aa cap tain of the Yale eleven and waa the best halfback of hla aenlor year. Ha waa big, trim built and powerful, a mighty line breaker and splendid defensive player. Hla run from a fake kick against Princeton at Manhattan field In 1915 was one of the most thrilling things In the history of the tarns and prompted Richard Harding Davis to refer to Thorne thua: "Soma men play foot ball and aome make foot ball history. Captain Thorne belongs to the clans that makes foot ball history." Tale's next great player waa Gordon Brown, guard for four years, an All-American selection and captain of the 19no team that mads tha biggest total scores against Harvard and Princeton of any team. Princeton was beaten 29 to S and Harvard 28 to 0. Brown was a giant in stature, rather slim In build, but like Heffelflnger, rangy and fast He waa taller even than HefT, though not so rugged. Yale has had three guards who were pre-eminent in their po sition. Herfelflnger waa one. Brown an other and Glass the third. Glasa waa a more recent product than tha others, but quite In their class. On the same team with Glaaa waa one of tha best center foot ball haa had, the aame being Holt and a great player. George Chadwlck, captain of the 1902 team, of which Glasa was one. waa a great player, greater in reality than he generally got credit for being, for there waa nothing whatever showy In his work. Nevertheless he was a fine halfback In all respects and abso lutely reliable. More recent players of greatness at Yale were Foster Rockwell, the quarterback of the '0J, '0J and '04 team, and Tom Bhevlin, end for four years and captain of the 'OB team. Shevlln waa a whirlwind, the em bodiment of speed and power. Uke the other great ones, tha more Important tha game the better ha played. Yale had a player under the new rulea who ranks with hla illustrious predecessors. There can be no doubt that there was at least one player under the reformed code who had all the qualifications of foot ball greatness, and that was Bob Forbes, the All-American end of 1906. With one exception he was the most striking figure, by virtue of all-around ability, service, dash and skill, of the sea son of 1906. Tho one exception waa Ecker sall of Chicago. These two were the best players of tha past season and gx In the great class. Great Princeton players of the early days were Snake Ames and Edgar Allen Poe in the back field and Hector Cowan, the tackle. Cowan was as valiant a pigskin warrior as he was big, while Ames and Poa were dashing and effective players, whose fame will always live. .Reference already haa been made to Rlggs, and after him came Phil King, Old Nassau's most noted quarterback. Billy Church, captain of tho Invincible '96 team, waa a tackle of potent strength and skill, the best Prince However, Doo Hillebrand, who played ton haa had in that position since Cowan. mory. The regiment Is offering for the first time a valuable stiver cup emblematic of the national Indoor championship In the men's singles. The cup Is to be won three times, not necessarily In succession, to be come the personal property of the player so winning It. In accordance with the more recent vogue, the holder each year will be required to play through the tour nament and not stand out for a challenge round. The early sending out of the no tices was to make It possible for those of tho experta entering to obtain sufficient practice on the fast board playing before tho beginning of tha tournament Arrange ments have been made ao that entranta may uae the courta Wednesday afternoons and all day on Saturday, February 18, for preparatory play. This is an Innovation which It la believed will make It possible for many of tha younger collegiate ex perta to compete in the tournament and aeveral of tha Columbia university experta, notably the Intercollegiate champion, Rob ert Le Roy, have signified their Intention of competing, as have men from Tale and Princeton and the University of Pennsyl vania. Of the ranking players, Holcomb Ward, tha bolder of the Indoor title in 1901; Beala C. Wright who was paired with Raymond D. Little as runners up In the championship doubles In 1904; Edwin P. Fischer, the' runner up to the champion, Wyllo C. Grant last year; Thomas C. Trask. Frederick B. Alexander and others have bespoken their entrance In both the championship singles and doubles, In which tha best two out of three vantage sets will be played, except In the finals. In which tha declaion will ba made by three out of five sets. The tournament ia under the direction of tha United Statea National Lawn Tennla association, while the commit tee in charge will Include William B. Cragin, Jr., who will act aa chairman and referee; Morria 8. Clark. King Smith, Ar thur M. Lovlnbond, Edward P. Grosvenor, C. Charleston Kelley and Robert T. Bryan. King Smith, the former Harvard player, will act aa secretary of tha meeting and have charge of the entries. Tha professional bicycle riders of Salt Lake City are busy now with plana for the building of a new bicycle track and the Incorporation of a company to promote bike racing upon a business basia, with Uie rldera owning a good portion of the atock and their friends controllng tha re mainder. Thia proposition was advanced, aa the rldera claim, that they may earn tha money and draw a good attendance at every meet and that they therefore feel that they should have an interest in tha track. Several men of promt nence In tha cycling world have been signed for the Salt Lake City aaucer track thia season, among them being Bobby Walthour, F. A. McFarland, Rutt of Germany; dlegard, th Dane, and Frank Kramer. It Is announced here that tha players of the Pittsburg team will the coming year be forced to eat on the European plan while on the road. Instead of getting the food In Job lota, aa haa been the custom heretofore. Barney Dreyfus;, says that players eat too much when they don't seem to be paying for It themselves, and In consequence do not keep In th best con dition. They get out of condition carry ing too much food about. Dreyfuss Is quoted ss follows: "I think the players eat altogether too much at the noonday meals now. tint that there I any objec tion to the price, but It gets them out of condition. Now, my Idea for next year la that the players be put up at soma good European hotel and allowed to feed them selves. Give them $3 per day for food, which will be aa much as most of them will waat to spend and a lot mor than some of them will spend, I am satisfied. When a hungry ball player falls down before a menu card at an American hotel and knows he can eat everything on that card he Is likely to eat more than he should, especially If he Is golng to play ball that day. Our Idea Is an experiment If It don't bring good results we will return to the old style." Numerous new base ball records were hung up Vdurlng th season. Her ar a few of th happening that will enter Into the record class: Chicago and Brooklyn played nlns In nings in JuhI an even hour. Chicago Americans, out of twenty-five mld-Stfuaon games, won twenty-three, tost uiie and playrd an M tie. Chicago Nationals won Uf games, break- I Were These tackle on Church's team, was a great player. So was Beef Wheeler, guard In th early fo. Garrett Cochran and John I Witt were other famous Princeton players. Cochran's superb end playing, when he shifted from fullback to that position. estahHph.Hl hla claim to greatness, while He Witt kicking ana nanit or Wng big deeds In a pinch conspired to make him one of the most luminous figure In the history of the sport Arthur Po and Ralph Davi. both ends, were other Princeton heroes of th chalked field. . Holflen, who played halfback at Harvard In 'KS, was a mighty player, as was Lewis, the center, who came later. No greater tackle ever sported canvas than Marshall Newell, who was another four-term man and made the All-American team every season. Newell was short and broad in build, atrong, reeolute and a born foot ball player. He waa a factor of tremendous Importance In the Harvard line. He was playing at the same time that Bert Waters was. Water played guard, tackle and halfback and was great In all three. Charles Daly, one of the most gifted of quarterbacks, was a Harvard product. So was Dave Campbell, captain of the team that beat Tale In 190L Campbell was end on that team, and the best end Harvard ever has had. George Brooke, the full back and kicker; Wharton, tha guard; Hare, guard, who was such a battering ram In the guards bock formation; Bull, Center; Stevenson, quarterback, and Gel bert. end, were great players that the I'nlversity of Pennsylvania has turned out. Osgood, the wonderful halfback, whose superior as a fast dodging runner never existed, also played football nt Penn sylvania, but started out at Cornell. He Is really a Cornell product The Carlisle Indians have furnished great players in Hudson, the quarterback, and Pierce, the guard. A great West Point player of several seasons ago was Scales. Scales ranks with the best as a tackle, and had he been on a big college team he would have been still more prominent. Tipton, center of the Army eleven of 1304, was as good a pivot man as ever played the posi tion. Hubbard of Amherst, Barry of Brown. Rlnehart guard at Lafayette: Dunn, the Pennsylvania State center; Wyckoff of Cornell and Weekes of Colum bia ore players whose deeds on the gridiron entitle them to be classified as great. There are men now In college who bid fair to land In the great class before they get through. Among them are Jones of Tale. Dillon of Princeton, Thompson of Cornell, Burr of Harvard and Dague of Annapolis. In the West besides Eckersall the two greatest football players were Heston and Snow of Michigan. Heston was a toronnrin as a ground gainer and tireless, while Nell Snow was an end quite worthy to rank with Campbell, Shevlln, Davis and even with peerless Hlnkey. He was Just the kind of man who would have been suited to the advanced requirements of the new game and Its additional demand for alertness In an end. Ing the former record of 108, made by the New York Nationals. Boston Americans lost twenty straight games and Boston Nationals nineteen. New Tork Americans won fifteen straight games, including five double-headers. Stone of the St. Louis Americans made anew record for base hits, having made The Cleveland team went on record with 120 double plays. Philadelphia and Boston (American league) played the longest game on record In the major leagues. The Athletic won. 4 to 1, In the twenty-fourth inning. This gam was played September 1. Shortstop Altlzer of the Washington Americans made five runs in seven Innings. On May 21 "Rube" Waddell struck out thirteen Cleveland batters, the season rec ord In the American league. Mathewson duplicated this performance against Brook lyn late in the season. There were three forfeited games In the two big leagues. Philadelphia and New York forfeited in the National and Phila delphia in the American. It was a season of big crowds, the world's series in Chicago breaking all records for receipts. Thousands were turned away from the gates at the last three games. Both New York teams drew to the capacity of the Chicago ball parks several times. The pugilistic world has not the noted fighters it had several years ago In spite of the large attractive purses which are being hung up by the clubs of the west The present heavyweights are far below the Newsy Gossip Pon't take your car out for a trln with. out Inspecting the mechanism, gasoline tank, eta. , Among the novelties displayed st the Paris auto salon was a tire pump worked directly by the motor.

Jeffries still refuses to fight Johnson, O'Brien or Burns, who seem to be the best In sight and all of whom would have been easy picking for such artists as Fltxslmmons, Corbett, Mo Coy or Sharkey. . Of course, Jeffries still stands so far above the rest that no one is interested iu seeing him go into th ring for it now looks as though it would be simply a fight on the part of some nervy pug for the loser's end of the purse. Omaha Is fast becoming the home of some noted dogs, especially of the Boston ter rier class. For several years Claries Ben son, manager for Stretght & Co., has kept a large kennel, which he has Increased from year to year by purchase of some of the noted bench winners. W. T. Canada, head of- the secret service of the Union Paclfio and special agent of that road, now has a $1,000 beauty which was given him by William Plnkerton, head of the great detective firm bearing his name.

On an occasion when for Owners of Automobiles The Massachusetts Automobile Owners Protective association will ask the leln lature to make it a crime for a chauffeur to use his employer's car without permis sion. As over $97,00b,00O worth of horse-drawn vehicles have been built by American makers. It will be seen that it will take many thousand automobiles to displace them.

The New York state authorities have learned that a factory In New York city has within the past year issued at leat lO.uuO counterfeit badKs for chauffeurs and numbers for cars. American manufacturers who have re turned from the Paris shows admit th.rt the foreigners are far ahead in metal work, but claim Americans are a very close second on designing.

At the Madison Square Garden show, for the first time in the history of the electric vehicle Industry. there was shown an electric that to all outward appearance resembled an up-to-date gasoline car. The majority of the transatlantic steam ship lines refuse to carry automobiles un less crated. The Bureau of Tours of the Automobile Club of America has taken the matter, up with a view to having the prac tice abolished. Chicago Is suffering for suitable room to meet th. demands of new firms that are anxious to sec-ire sfjHre in Ihe motor polony. Every foot of ground on each side of Michigan avenue for four blocks Is oc cupied by the trade. The builders of a car with eight cylinders, exhibited at the Madison Snuare Oarrten show, claim the weight of the motor has been reduced to 2-1 pounds per house-power, and that the motor Is so well balanced that na fly-whtl is required. A prominent feature of the retail auto mobile business at present is the greatly increased demand for limousines, and those concerns that are lucky enough to hav them ready for Immediate -delivery are doing a big business. Joe Tracy, the noted racing driver, who has been experimenting, is not enthusiastic over denatured alcohol as .1 fuel.

Although not generally considered as a sport, roller skating Is being made such to a certain degree In Omaha by the nu merous races which Manager Qlllan Is pull ing off at ths Auditorium. Two or three times a week he has a series of races, which have numerous participants. The Humane society, however, took a hand and shut off the real sport which was scheduled In th way of a rabbit chase. A captured cotton-tall wa to be released In the arena and numerous kids and boys and men were to be given the privilege of seeing who could corner It first for the prize.

For two months now the North Omaha tains that before the close of another year hundred pf automobiles will be carrying persons there from all parts of the country who favor the "see America first" Idea. An Eastern commercial traveler, who Is covering .his country territory in a run about fitted behind the driving seat to carry his sample esses, finds he covers more ground, sells more goods and saves a great deal of time since he laid aside the railroad method. American tourist who are interested In autolng will find plenty to interest them In Europe this year, no matter in what month they go abroad. There are 37 sep. prate international events, shows, raoes and other contests, several of them lasting for a week or more. Motorists who intend cleaning out lime and grease from radiators with caustic soda should be very careful noC to put their hands In th preparation.

Glldden reached Mexico City he had traveled In his touring car SUtfJ miles In thirty-six different countries. To do this he haa motored 812 days, twice circling the globe, crossing the Arctic circle in Sweden and finding the most southerly road In the world. In New Zealand. Ralph R.

Photographs of the dismantling of th Paris show demonstrate that horse drawn vehicles were used exclusively to remove exhibits other than motor -care. At the close of all the American shows for sev eral years It haa been remarked that power vehicles were thus used almost without exception. When a spark plug misses Are, due to short circuit from oil or grease, If the wire to the plug Is detached and held about a quarter of an Inch from th. plug, with the motor running, this will act as a spark gap and th. plug will generally clean Itself, obviating the necessity of re moving the plug. When approaching a street crossing the operator ciould always have his car under ''complete control, for pedestrians are wont to become bewildered when they hear the horn, and ofttlmes run squarely In front of the automobile In their efforts to get out of the road.

The western championship Is also at stake, as well as the largest purses ever hung up at a bowling tournament The second annual tournament of the Western Bowling congress now promises to be one of the greatest sporting events of the year. The bowlers of the entire terri tory from the Mississippi to ths Pacific coast have promised to send representatives to compete for the championship snd the rich prises that will be awarded. There will be $5,000 distributed among the winners in the different events, and the five-men team winning the championship will receive $600 as their share, while the two-men and Individual champions will get proportionately large amounts. About one-fourth of those participating In all events will receive liberal prizes.

Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess of uric acid iu the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently become torpid and dull in their action, and instead of carrying off the refuse and waste of thej body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system. This is taken up byj the blood and through its circulation distributed to all parts of the system.)

The bowling world Is at present' divided up Into three great geographical) sections, with the Western Bowling con-' grass holding jurisdiction over th territory' wet of th Missouri river and likely to Invade the American Bowling congress' territory as far east as the Mississippi. With this condition of affairs existing It can readily be seen that the tournament to ba held in Denver will have the same bear ing upon deciding ths national champion ships as that of the Bt Louis or Atlantlo City tourneys. The first annual tourney of the Western Bowling congress was held at Salt Lake City last march and proved a grand success. The strict tournament rules ' of th congress, which ar rigidly enforced, provide that all entry money shall revert to the prize fund and be returned to tho bowlers in prizes and all prizes shall be paid in full within twenty-four hours after th close of tha levent In which they ar won. All bowlers west of the Mississippi river are eligible to compete In the Western Bowling congress tourneys, for the big purses and the western championship, which honor will place them In th limelight a on of th leading factor in contending for the national title.
