I1IR A1IA AILY BEE: THritSDAY. 'FEBRUARY 0. 1008.
EIGHT TEAMS, SAYS O'XEIL
Circuit Will Be Expanded, According
to the President.
MEETLNQ IS OMAHA NEXT WEEK
Pa Rosrke I'nadvlaesl on These Farts,
bat Is U4d lie Can Hare
thick Aatrey This
Year.
A special dispatch to The Bee from
Sioux City says that Norrls O'Netl. presi
dent of the Western league, has written
his friend. Ducky Holmes, that the West
rrn will have eight clubs this year, and
also that the annual meeting will be held
In Omaha next week, the day not yet de
cided on.
All of which Is news to Pa Rourke, who
hss not heard from Comlskcy's scout on
either proposition.
The Sioux City dispatch quotes Holmes
as ssylng thst St. Joe would be one of
the recruits to the league, but that ho re
fused to divulge ths "president's" secrets
far enough to give the name of the other
one, adding that prospects never were
brighter for an eight-team league. He
didn't aay how bright prospects were for
success with such cities ns St. Joe In the
league, however.
Autrey will be with Omaha this year.
Thst Is settled, as Pa Rourke has been
notified by telegram that all the big
league teams with the right have waived
and he tiay . come back to the Westerh
league' champions for another year. Pa
thinks" he will, therefore, have the best
first bsjieman In the west.
The retention of . Autrey gives Omaha
additional assurance of the strongest team
It ever had for this year. t
All Hit Pa for More Pay.
Hal Chase. George Stone and Ty. Cobb
would be put to shame by the demands
some of the members of the Omaha base
ball club are making on Pa Rourke for
Increases In salary for the coming year.
Last week Pa sent out his contracts to
the old players and answers ara beginning
to come In.
Of all the contracts Pa sent out ho did
not cut the salary of rslngle player one
dollar, but on the othef hand he raises
the pay check offer of three pfayers.
The presidential year Is nearly always an
off year In base ball and Pa thinks the
players should he satisfied to receive the
same pay At they did the previous year.
But not so do Pa s Colts think. They
all want more money.
"On the square," said Pa, "It looks like
the whole bunch had combined to ask for
more money this year. It may not be
that they have formed a trust, but It looks
that way from the answers we are get
ting from the contracts and notices to
report which have been sent out.
"A player who got 1250 a month last
year should be satisfied to recelvo the
same salary this year, hut they all seem
to want more money.
When some, of the stars hold out from
signing their contracts and demand more
money fans look Upon the announcement
as an advertising proposition for both the
player and the team, bpt hi case of the
Omaha team they all seem to be balk
ing" ,
The telegram from Brother Jim at Cin
cinnati that Autrey waa to be sent back
to Omaha has filled the fans with glee
for there seems to be no doubt that Chick
will be the star first baseman of the league
next summer.

Champion Olson.
What looked like a lively little tempest
In ths teapot was precipitated at Lincoln
Tuesday afternoon when the tmiaha nhoot
ers lost to the Lincolnites. But that was
not the vause of the trouble. It all aroee
over the1 Thorpe trophy. ,
Adolph Olson of Holdrege. one of tile
best trap shooters this state ever pro
duced, shot his last amateur race, as he
left last evening for Cincinnati to become
professional trap shooter for one of the
cartridge companies. He waa holder of the
Thorpe trophy and shot a mutch with
Lindcman, that shooter having; challenged
him. Olson knew he was leaving the state,
and big, good-natured fellow hat he Is,
did not want to carry the honors with hlni.
so he deliberately tossed the match to
Llndeman. He admitted it, saying he did
not want to carry his title away with him
and. as Llndeman was the only man who
nhallenged him. he was willing to let the
trophy stay with him. While the commit
tee accepted his explanation, ll refused to
let the trophy go to Llndeman under the
conditions, but let It revert bsok to Game
Warden Carter, from whom Olson won It.

Y. M. C. A. Oatflt Cornea to Omaha
Saturday Mght.
Sioux City Young Men's Christian asso
ciation team plays a return game Satur
day night with the Omaha Young Men's
Christian association in the Omaha gym
nasium. Games with the Sioux City team
always arouse Interest In Omaha anil fans
well remember the last game, which was
played at the Auditorium, when the local
team won by a small margin by a fine
spurt at the close. A few weeks ago Omaha
lost at Sioux City and the players are
looking for revenge.
Al Hanson is back in the harness after
an enforced absense because of trouble
with his eyes and this makes several
changes in the lineup of the team. I.ej
Wilson will be moved from Center as a
running mate for Hanson and Rasmussen
probably will play center. The Sioux City
center Is about six feet six Inches tall and
Rassmussen probably will have his hands
full. Welsen may alternute with Wilson
and PJej-rou and Harris have definitely
sledded upon to guard the speedy forwards
of the Sioux.
Kangaroos to Lincoln.
The Kangaroos of the junior Young Men's
Christian association will go to Lincoln
Thursday afternoon to play a basket ball
game with the Young Men's Christian as
sociation Juniors there. The latter bunch
defeated tTte Kangaroos last December by
a very small margin, and since that time
the local players have had considerable
special coaching and practice, so this even
ing's game at Lincoln will be one of the
fastest ever plsyed by Nebraska boys'
teams.
Although the Kangaroo players are far
from new at the game the Lincolnites
have considerable advantage, as several
of their players are graduated high school
stars who have had a wide range'vf ex
perience In the game.
Omaha's players sre as follows: For
wards. Burdick (captain), Dodds; renter
Arnsteln: guards, Nagl, Pagels, 1 oward

HARD PRACTICE BY O. II. . TEA M
Boys la fctaajic lor Slont City tiame
Matarday.
The basket bull squad of the high school
went through hard practice Wednesday
afternoon, and will do their last work
today preparatory to the game at Sioux
City Saturday evening. The boys are fast
learning the fine points of the game, and
have developed wry efficient team and
signal work. This Is largely the result
of the efforts of Captain Nagl and Man
ager Neavles, the latter .of whom la also
coaching the tesm.
Howard is rapidly working Into the
guard's position left vacant by the In
eligibility of one of the plavers, and
Neavles as the other guard Is still putting
up such steady playing as won him a
place on last year's team. Nagl's transfer
to left forward has merely given the team
another good forward Instead of guard
and the brilliancy of the team work and
goal shooting that Burdick and Arnsteln
put up has increased with the tram de
velopment. Carrier's work at forward has recently
come into speclul prominence. and he has
been chosen to go to Sioux City with the
team. The other substitute In Saturday's
game will be Thomas, a member of the
19";6 team who has recently returned to
school.

These' Is one club under whose auspices
Hat Nelson csn claim the right to fight
any old time now. that Is the V and O.
IV O. Alderman, the Omaha boy, who has
blossomed Into a rattling fine pitcher, has
signed snd returned a contract to Pittsburg
for this year. ,
It seems almost Incredahle that a man
who was nothing but a player for some
twrnty-five years would propose such a
blacklist rule as that offered by the vener
able, handsome Jim O'Hourke.
Interest In the match Friday night at the
Auditorium betweei Westergard and the
Turk Is growing more Intense each day
and the big fellows ought to draw a good
house. The odds seem to be leaning to
ward Westergard. though the Turk may
bo able to fool them.
It didn't take Farmer Burns long to de
cide that he would give War Eagle another
match, did It? That ought to be even more
thrilling than the former minting of these
two men. Each has a better knowledge of
the other man than before and each has a
little more ginger In his feelings toward
the other. It Is to be hoped, however,
neither wll( let the ginger boil up too high.
Suppose Beell should throw Ootch In
their handicap meeting In Chicago Friday
night when Ootch will excluded his toe

emmlnent danger of Ueell's winning even
In this handicap.
Alt rock objects to the contract Comlskey
sent him calling for $.mio less than last year
and stipulating that the 1I will be handed
him at the end of the season provided he
lets Colonel Barleycorn alone.. The Big
Noise replies that he was unfairly tracted
last year by reports of his libations. On
the other hand, Comlskey ran pull the re
cord of games lost and won and back up
his intimation that Altrock's lack of form
cost the Sox the pennant In 1SC. Altrock
ought to lower his opinion of himself any
way. Ssys Joe Cantillon: "Kahoe handled the
delivery of Walter Johnson last season to
the queen's taste, and he will pay for his
salary if ho does nothing dsn but keep
this youngster going right. Mike knows
everything about the game, and was a val
uable a lil to me last season. Last fall, be
fore leavlngTor home. Johnson came to me
and especially requested that I sign Kahoe
for the coming season, as he believed he
could be more effective with the veteran
receiving him than any one else. I have
compiled with the young pitchers request.
Kahoe and Johnson were great fflends, and
everything the former knee; in a base ball

may not be the best catcher In the world,

tickets. The Broken Bow cltlxens stood at
the window, produced the money, made

It good as they looked on and admired the
