NEW YORK, Oct .-Notwithstanding
all the rumblings of diacontent whi;lt
bava been heatd during tha last tbroe
ays, while tha representatives Of minor
bus hall league Organizations hara been
In session here. It la believed ther will
be no upheaval In the ranka of tha Na
tional Association of Professional Base
Ball cluhe.
resident P. T. Powers, of the National
association, railed the second days' meet-
Ing of thla body to order yesterday after-
noon, ana after a four hours' session, an ad
journment was taken until 10 o'clock; to
morrow morning-.
Twenty-three of the thlrty-slx leagues
la the association were personally repre
sented. J. r. O'Brien, of Milwaukee, pres
ident of the American association, sub
mitted two resolutions which wera adopted
at a conference held In Chicago last Sun
day, These wera to the effect that the
Western, Pacific Coast and Southern
leagues be .reduced from Class A to Claaa ;
B organizations, and that the National j
board be reduced from seven to five mem
bers. Both resolutions wera tabled. An
other, asking: that all future meetings of
the National association be held Id Chi
cago, waa adopted to the extent that next j
year's meeting will be held there.
Judge McCreedie, of Portland, Ore., In
vited the national body to meet In Seattle
In 199, and Joe Ewlng, the newly elected '
president of the Pacific Coast league, ex- j
tended an Invitation to the association to
meet in Fan Francisco that year and then 1
go to Seattle as guests of the PacJ.fl 3
Coast league. These suggestions also wera
tabled.
Tho general Impression waa, -however, '
that two years hence Seattle will be the
center of attraction for the minor leagues
and that after tomorrow's meeting till
differences between the factious will be
settled.
IA SIGX9 TWO SEW PITCHERS
I
Land Gut "Williams cf South Omaha .
aud Delt Clark.
Pa iRourke demonstrated" that he Is on 1
the constant lookout, for material for next
year when he slgiKnl two new" pitchers
Thursday. They are Ous Williams of ,
Urand Island and Ilt Clark of Clarinda,
la. Williams is a Routh Omaha lad who
hs played with the Originals and who was
the strength of the Grand Island team last
year, as his good left arm won many a ,
game. He la a strapping big fellow who ;
weighs 190 pounds and Is a real slugger I
with the willow. Pa did not annex this re- 1
crult without a contest, as the Bt. Louis I
Drowns were after him and Ducky Holmes j
also wanted to sign him before he sold the
Lincoln team.
"Williams has the making of a corker,"
said Pa Rourke, whose ability to pick out
a good one Is well known. "I think ho will
be one of the coiners of the diamond, and
1 em glad to be able to announce him as
a member of the family, Clark Is also a
big fellow and a right-hander, and was
some peaches in his league."
BLACK EVE FOR THE CAWTILI-ONS
Rank Kallare to Give Westera League 1
av Set bark.
That waa a severe black eye for the Can-tlllon-Trbeau
combine when the National
Association of t'rufcssloaal Base Ball Clubs
turned d,own the motion of O'Uiii-n to re
duce the Western, J'aclllo Coast and South
ern leagues from Clans A to Class a or
ganizations. O'Brien is president of tho
American association and O'Neil Is pres
ident of the Western league, and when
O'Brien offered Ida motion everyone knew
It was the motion of the Cantlllon-Tebeau
conspirators, whose chief mission haa been
and Is to destroy the Western league.
HtUl rankling in' the breasts of these base
ball pirates ia that' bitter defeat of tho
attempt to give to the American associa
tion full anil complete control of tha Wesf
ern and all other minor leagues. That
waa a crushing defeat for a predatory
combine t suffer right at the inception of
lis conspiracy; it had much the same effect
on that combine, and conspiracy as a solar
plexus blow has in the initial round of a
prla.v flglil.,. tiut while it left the combine
(lazed, it al.-o made it more determined,
after regaining consciousness, to annihilate
(ts'foe, and from that time to tills no stono
has been left unturned In the possible ex
ploitation of that nefarious mission. Soino
annoying cotulitions have had to be met
and tolerated, but the sum total tuday Is
the 1rVeBto.ru league is strong and confront
ing a irotiiUing future. -
As a matter of fact, in the quality of ball
played by tha American association and the
Westers league there is no difference, tin
less it bo superior in the Western. Not
only does it seem the height of grotesque
absurdity for an organization which came
' Into being as an outlaw to demand dis
tinction and elevation over, one whose ad
vent and whole career have been In closest
harmony with organised base ball, but it
Is positively ludicrous for this same or
ganisation ' to seek rank over a league
whoso standard of actual work Is equal, if
not superior, to the conspirators' associa
tion. Aa Viewed la lovra City.
'IOWA CITT. la., Oct. 81. (Special.) It
is "believed here that Coach Cauiu expects
to use every one of his substitute players
doing the coming giime with Nebraska.
At soon aa spy member of the Ilawkeye

oping understudies . for his regulars than
he has on the Mist team men. And the
beauty of it all la that these substitutes
would make very good timber for tho reg
ulars, so that In changing his men he will
not weaken the learn. In the backtield
Catlin has Murphy and Miller for tha
halves. Hammer for full and Bruggerman
and Brown for the quarterback position.
There is some fairly good material for the
line positions and on the whole It Is be

Wisconsin," declared one tf the local foot
ball authorities, "If they keep their nerve
end forget that it Is Wisconsin ther are
playing against. The only thing you can
(all It Is lllfi fright, 1 guess, but of
course the Itadgera come here with a great
lel of prestige, while Iowa has been ac
customed to losing Its conference games.
A great deal depends on this game with
Wisconsin. If Iowa wins It, even by a
narrow score, the Hawkeyes will stand a
good chance of winning from Illinois. Hut
If they lose It the latter Institution will
make about as many points as they want
t'o. From Jiow on It la ail a matter of be
lieving they can do It or not believing
they can do it. And if the men don't bet
Iteve they can win from Wisconsin, ther
probably won't be enough figures to count
th score.''

Si ATE BALL LEAUl'E LOOKS GOOU
Meeting: Soon to, Be Called for Grand
Island,
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Oct. 31. (Spe
cial. ) The committee appointed at a local
meetir.p of baso ball cnthusluMs to ascer
tain the soiitiment In other cities In the
state with reference to the organization
of a slate league of base ball clubs has
receved s-.neral replies and all are In an
encouraging tone. It Is expected, there
fore, that a mass meeting will soon be
called, to take plaoe In this city, and rep
resentatives from the several cities are ex
pected to be .present. The local contingent
is propHrlng to entertain the visitors while
in the city and will hold a benefit ball at
the Ancient Order of I.'nlted Work
men templo for that purpose on
Thursday evening. Kearney Is en
thusiastically for the league. Hastings,
which lust year proved tho stumbling block
owing to difficulty as to grounds, Is ex
pected to get Into line. Fremont's first re
ception of the suggestion was not alto
gether promising, but a better view Is now
being taken In that city, as far as can
be learned, and Beatrice is expected to
line up ns strongly for Bueh an organisa
tion aa It did last year, when It had ginger
to spare. It Is not believed there will be
difficulty at South Omaha, as even the
oo-operatlon of Pa Rourke is believed to
be obtainable. In the meantime the local
committee, composed of S. E. Barton and
H. A. Blevers, would like to hear from any
other cities which might desire to enter
such a league and have prospects for a
successful season.
FOOT HALL PLAYING ENJOINED
Kankakee Attorney Charges Gam la
Prise Fighting?.
KANKAKEE, ill., Oct. 81. Charging
that foot ball is a prize fight. Attorney
Moore today tiled a bill in the circuit court
restraining high school students from play
ing the game. Moore declares that F. N.
Tracy, superintendent of public schools,
and L. W. Smith, high school principal,
have aided and abetted prize fighting
among students; that the game of foot
ball not only Injures but demoralizes the
student body; that the mcmliers of the
team uko profanity on the Held and that
the game is degrading, un-Christian ' and
uncivilized. The case will probably be
heard next Tuesday.

IOWA HOPES TO BEAT WISCOXSIJf

IOWA CITT, la., Oct. 31 (Special.)
Coach ChRlmers of in e Hawkeyes went
through their last scrimmage practice on
In., f 1 . 1 V. - .1 - t i w m
are now completed for the coming batJs
with tjie Badgers. Twenty-five hundred
tickets have been sold and reserved for
the contest and it Is expected thst the,
total attendance will reach 4.000. Reset- 1
vutlons have been sent In from slum-tC
all over the state and a large delegation
Is expected from Madison despite the
fact that no special rates will b given.
Physically the men are in good shape
for the struggle and it Is believed here
that the final outcome will be a fair In
dication of the strength of tha opposing
teams.
liclnzmsn. who formerly played with
Kansas, and Kent, quarter on last year's
team, returned from Madison last wek
after witnessing Wisconsin lose to
Illinois, and it Is known now t hat Catlin
has been working his men all week on
the Wisconsin formations. It Is pre
sumed that Wisconsin used the very bet
plays that It had against Illinois 1 .
account or tne losing game it was play
ing, and the representative from the lo
cal Institution had an excellent oppor
tunity to see the Wisconsin formations.
Helnzman declares that Wlscenaln did
not ahow its best form against Illinois
and that marked Improvement can be
looked for here this coming week. He
believes that radical changes will ho
made In the style of play and that Iowa
will have many new formations to solve
that were not shown up in the Illinois
game.
He Is confident, however, that Iowa can
win from Wisconsin If the men play tho
game that they are capable of . He la
very optimistic over the outlook here,
declaring that there are only two or three
teams In the conference who are stronger
than the Hawkeyes. Catlin Is unwilling
to predict that Iowa will win, but he
states t hat If the Badgers win thev will
have to play a very strong game of toot
ball. There Is little question but that
Iowa Is much stronger this season than
it has been In five years past. The Ion
line of substitutes make many chant?;
possible. In the tacklo positions Catlin
says that ho has four men who are all
equally good. The same Is true of the
halfback positions.
It la also supposed that Iowa will use
several new formations that have not
thus far appeared In Its games. Up to
the present time there has been no oc
casion for the use of many of the 11c v
plays that Cstlln has undoubtedly taugnt
the men. Thus far he has been Uflmt
the same formations that characterized
the play of every team In tne west last
year before the possibilities of the new
rules were realized. It Is not believed
that he will dare to go Into a game with
Wisconsin and depend on these old plavs
which the representatives of the Badger
institution saw Iowa use against Drake
university in Dcs Moines.
For these several reasons It is prac
tically certain that Iowa foot ball fol
lowers will be treated to a remarka'.d
exhibition of the new game here next
Kiiturday. That seems to be the opinion
of the alumni of the state, Judging from
the demand for tickets. The student
body has been- carefully organized 'nto
rooting clubs and yell masters have bean
appointed. A big mass meeting will o
held Friday night and every preparation
made to entertain the Wisconsin delega
tion in a proper manner.

its own with any of the teams of this sec

places of Harmon, McKenna and Urquhart.
who are Ineligible for the Drake game.
This game, which In many ways is the
most Important and also the hardest ex
cept 8l. Ixnils, represents a new departure
In foot ball at Crelghton. It la the first
game the university has played under con
ference rules.
Dwyer, who Is" slated to fill one of the
vacated positions. Is a promising youngster,
has weight, speed and handles the ball
nicely and would likely have made some
of the Ineligible men hustle for a position
before this had he not been late In Join
ing the squad. Marvin la one of the hard
est working and most etriiient men on the
squad. He is a good man at any place.
He has played much of the season at tackle
but .will likely b shifted to th back field
in place of Harmon. iThe team will line up
for the Amity game as follows:
McCormick, center; Bloerhorn, Wsgner,
guards; I-airiphler, Morganthalur, Iaugh
erty, tackles; ttlratton, Stevens, lawyer.
Mi Shane, ends; Brome, Marvin, Magirl,
Hroneck, backs.
Hard to Tell Which la Stronger.
AMES, la., Oct. 31. (Special.) King Col,
coach of the Nebraska university foot ball
team, has declared that unless the Corn
huskers show marked improvement during
the coming week, Ames will win next Sat
urday by a substantial score. He states
that he watched th Ames-Minnesota game
aeveral weeks ago and he waa greatly Im
pressed with th way In which the team
worked at that time, and he believes that
Just now Ames Is one of the strongest
teams In the west. But throughout th
state of Iowa a contrary feeling prevails.
Both teams ar believed to be minimizing
their strength In an attempt to deceive the
opposing squad. But it is known that both
Coaches Cole and Williams are making
desperate efforts to perfect their forma
tions. And It Is also predicted that th
coming struggle between th two teams
will be one of th most sensational in west
em foot ball this aeason, on account of the
evenness with which th teams ar
matched.
The secret work on th Aggies' field con
tinues. A great deal of attention is being
given to Thayer's kicking, aa Williams
believes that both teams will b forced to
play a kicking game. Followers of th
gam believ that Williams has mad a
real find In Stouffer, th big left end, who
Is proving himself to b a strong running
mat for McUhenny on th other side of
the line. Two brothers, Cy and Ouy Lam
bert, are playing th 1 halfback posluoua
and both ar making good. Th quarter
back position remains unsettled as yet.
Both Hubbard and ex-Captain Jeanson ar
candidate, but Wiiliama la having a hard
tim to decide which of thsm will play th
best gam for Ames. Aa a result h has
been playing them alternately, and It is
expected that both men will b given an
opportunity to run th tam against Ne
braska Jeanson handled th Ams team
that won from Nebraska last year and
for that reason it la xpcted that h will
be permitted to start the game at Lincoln
tins coming Saturday. On account of th
fact that tli railroads - ar refusing to
make rate other than t cents per mile,
no excursion wlU accompany the team on
the western trip, but l Is eipctrl that at
least 200 enthusiasts will follow the team.
AMES MEW DOnn THEIR UTMOST
HTot Saylag Mack Abont Nebraska
(lame, bat Hone to Win.
AMES, la . Oct 31. (rtpeclal.)-Coach Wil
liams Is said to be badly worried, over tho
coming game witn Nebraska, but whether
he ia or not there Is no doubt about the
fact thst the student body Is putting In the
hardest week they have experienced so fsr
this aeason. Tha Aggies expected to defeat
Coe by at least twenty-five points, and tho
fact that they only got half that number is
bothering them. Bloux Jones saw Nebraska
play against Colorado and this week has
spent all of his time coaching the freshmen
In the Nebraska style of play. Thus far
the regulars have succeeded In solving lt
without a great deal of trouble and unless
King Cole springs a lot of new plays next
Saturday, Williams' men will have a very
fair knowledge of the Nebraska formations.
Stouffer, left end, will not be able to play
In the Iowa game at the end of the season
on account of the fact that he has plnved
all the foot ball the rules will permit. Wil
liams has boen working Graham nt left
end and It is expected that he will play
there against Iowa. Btouffer will play his
last game for Ames against Nebraska Sat
urday. PA SIGXS TWO NEW PITCHERS
Lands Gas Williams of Soath Omaha
nd Delt Clark.
Pa Bourka demonstrated thst he is -on
the constant lookout for material for next
year when he signed two new pitchers
Thursday. ' They are Ous Williams of
Grand Island and Uelt Clark of Clarinda,
la. Williams Is a Booth Omaha lad who
has played with the Originals snd who was
the strength of the Grand Island team last
year, as his good left arm won many a
game. He Is a strapping big fellow who
weighs 190 pounds and Is a real slugger
with the willow. Pa did not annex this re
cruit without a contest, as the St. Ijouls
Browns were after him and Pucky Holmes
also wanted to sign him before he sold the
Lincoln team.
"Williams has the msklng of a corker,"
said Pa Rourke, whose ability to pick out
a good one is well known. "I think ho will
be one of the comers of the diamond, and
I am glad to be able to announce him as
a member of the family. (Mark is also a
big fellow and a right-hander, and was
some peaches in his league."
WITH THE BOWLERS.
The Jetter Gold Tops won three games
from the Independents on the Metropolitan
alleys last night. The Gold Tops are com
ing fast ever since the outlaw Joined the
team. He certainly has put some ginger
Into them. Grotte had high single game
with S26, while Bohy Kncell had hlirh
scora on total with 6W, Foley crowding him
with Captain Mahoncy will take a
back seat next week. Learn, the Inde

Prospect for Battle In Mod.
DES MOINE8, la., Oct. 31. (Sperial.)
There Is every prospect that the coming
game between Drake and Qrlnnell will be
played in a aea of mud. The foot hall field
at Drake la composed of yellow clay, When
It Is wet it has about six Inches of mud
and when it Is dry It becomes so hard that
the players are In danger of serious In
juries all the time, lt has been raining
this week with the result that the stadium
Is on big mud hole. As Drake will out
weigh Grinneil by a substantial number of
Jiounds to the man. this Heavy condition or
lie field will seriously hinder Grlnnell's
finances of victory.

The state fisheries are preparing for the

y
Be Enforced.
If tho orders of Mayor Dahlman are car
ried out every law of the state of Nebraska
and every ordinance of the city of Omaha
will be enforced to the letter on snd after
December 10.
Chief of Police Donahue says he will
obey the orders of the mayor most rigidly
and he has been Informed that if necessary
every person mentioned In the Sackett law
will be called upon to assist In tha en
forcement of the laws and ordinances.
While Mayor Dahlman had decided on
this course soversl days ago, the order was
not prepared until Thursday morning and
was much shorter, If Just as broad, than
was expected nt first, when the mayor
had an Idea of .embodying in the order
reference to each law which must be en
forced, lt was found that It would require
too much time to prepare the order and
that lt would be no more effective than by
making the terms so wide as to Include all
laws and ordinances on tho books which
fall under the Jurisdiction of the police.
As he signed the order the mayor said:
"It may be that the Sackett law Is un
constitutional, hut I'm going to test It by
going before a republican supreme court
on a pnrty question while I am a demo
crat. Thla matter should be tested by a
republican and I think Sheriff McDonald,
who will go out oi office In January any
way, is the proper man to take up tha
matter in court. ,lf he wins his successor
will know what to do and If he loses he
will be able to draw his salary to the end
of his term Just the same."
Here Is the Edict.
Mayor Dahlman's order reads:
OMAHA. Oct. 31, l!07.-Ilon. J. J. Dona
hue, Chief of roliee, Omaha, Neb. Dear
Sir: Charles E. Fields, a citizen of Omaha,
lia mude a demand on me as chief ex
ecutive of this city to enforce section 241
of chapter xxlll of tho Compiled Statutes
of the Slate of Nebraska, which reads as
follows:
"If anv person of the age of 14 years or
upward shall be found on the first day of
the week, commonly called Sunday, sport
ing, rioting, quarreling, hunting, tishlng or
shooting, he or sho shall be fined In a sum
not exceeding $.'0 or be confined in tho
votinty Jail for a term not exceeding
twenty days, or both, at the discretion of
the court. And if any person of the age
of 14 vears or upward shall be found on
the first d:iv of the week, commonly called
Sunday, at common labor (work of neces
sity and charity only excepted! he or she
shall be fined in a sum not exceeding o
nor less than SI; provided, nothing herein
contained In relation to common labor on
said first day of the week, commonly
called SundHy, shall be construed to ex
tend to those who conscientiously do ob
serve the seventh dny of the week as tho
SahbHth, nor to prevent families emigra
ting from traveling, watermen from landing
their passengers, superintendents or keep
ers of toll bridges or toll gates from at
tending and superintending the same, or
ferrymen from conveying travelers over
the waUr, or persons moving their ramilles
on such days, or to prevent railroad com
panies from running necessary trains."
Under the Sackett law passed by the last
republican legislature, which reads as fol
lows: ...
"Any county attorney or prosecuting of
ficer, sheriff, police Judge or mayor, police
officer or police commissioner or other of
ficer who shall wilfully fall, neglect or re
fuse to enforce any law which It Is made
his duty to enforce shall thereby forfeit
his office and may be removed therefrom.
"The attorney general of the state, when
directed by tho governor, shall Institute and
prosecute quo warranto proceedings In the
supreme court against any such county at
torney or prosecuting officer, sheriff, police
Judge, police officer or police commissioner,
mavor or other officer, and if the court
shall find that such officer has wilfully
failed or refused to enforce any law which
It is his duty as such officer to enforce,
then the court shall render Judgment of
ouster against such officer and the office
shall thereby become vacant."
lt becomes my duty to enforce all laws,
no matter how much It might Inconvenience
tho people of our city. 1 therefore order
you as chief of police of this city that on
and after December 10, 1!W7, you enforce
section 241 of chapter xxili quoted above
ami all other laws and ordinances coming
under your Jurisdiction to the fullest ex
tent. If you should need any assistance we
will call on all thu officers mentioned in the
Sackett law to render whatever assistance
Is necessary to enforce these laws strictly
to the letter. Yours truly,
JAMES C. DAHLMAN, Mayor.
Aa Sweeping; as Possible.
Chief of Police Donahue had a short con
ference with the mayor before tho order
was issued. After this conference ho said:
"I have not seen the order, but I un
derstand that it will be as sweeping In
Jts terms as possible, lt has bean sug
gested thut it might bo possible to get the
Sackett law tested If I should Ignore the
order, but I am here to obey tho orders
cf the mayor of Omaha. I have always
done thla and will continue to do so."

SEARCH FOR BETTER RAILS
American Railway Association Hear
Report of Committee Making
Experiments. NEW TORK, Oct. 30. The combined ef
forts of the steel manufacturers snd the
railroads to find a standard steel rail thvt
will safely bear tho weight and Incident
sirs In imposed upon It by the large loco
motive are bearing fruit. The American
Railroad association Is Investigating the
matter to determine whether a more ssl
Isfactory rail could be made, and In this
the steel manufacturers are co-operating.
The committee which had the matter In
hand reported progress at tbe semi-annual
convention of the association her today.
The committee agreed on the advisability
of an Improvement In rail sections, which
would afford an even distribution of metal
between th bead and base of the rail, and
develop a homogenous condition of metal
by cooling simultaneously. This was ap
proved by the association, as also were
technical suggestions regarding th method
of rolling rails.
The association Instructed the committee
to continue Its Inquiry on these disputed
features of rail making. G. L. Peck of
the Pennsylvania railway, cnalrman of the
committee, stated that the committee had
conferred with the American Society of
Civil Engineers and had inspected the prin
cipal rail making plants In this country.
While satisfied that a rail answering all
purposes would be found, he said that on
the question of discard, the ccmmlttee had
discovered a difference of opinion.
