NEW YORK. Sept. 13 Registration In
the public schools ha rinsed and showed
that tliis year there will be an Increase of
a ix. vi t S0 0U0 fvuplls over last yeat. The
year's regular to fill nine positions on the
team this season, and three other "N"
men of 1907, besides a great quantity of
eligible new material to draw from for
ths two remaining place. The way the
lineup had been planned was center, Col
lins; right guard, Frum; right tackle, Chal
oupks; ' right end. Johnson; left guard,
Ewlng; left tackle, vacant; left end. Cap
tain Harvey; quarter, Cooke; right half.
Minor; left half, vacant; fullback, Kroger.
These men all played good foot ball last
year and their return to the game this fall
would aur ?7e1raka another winning
team, for there are many candidate who
can fill tha two vacant posltione, left tackle
and loft half, very aatlafactorlly. The talk
about loaing Collin and Cooke upset all
plana and put the athletic mentors to
peculating aa to how to fill their placea
In caae the two Cornhuskers fall to come
back.
Collin at center and Cooke at quarter,
were two of the strong points of the team
last fall. Collin, although It wa hi flrt
year on the' team, played all of hi op
ponent to a standstill, and great thing
were expected of him this season. Cooke
running ability and hi agile workon th
offense made him one of tfte belt quartera
in the west and ron him a place cn the
All Mlasourl valley eleven. There are sev
eral Cornhusker foot ball aspirants who
could take the places of these two players,
but they hardly would be able to fill them
a atlfaetorlly thla seaaon as the two
veterans would. To try for Collin's por
tion at center in caae ha doe not return
to school there would be Fcrrin. a 1907
"N" man. who was a substitute for that
pt sit ion last year and who played tackle
In. the St., Louis game Thanksgiving day
after Chaloupka had been removed on ac
count of an Injury to hi wrist. Perrin
Wka alow, however, ar.d eome cf the new
men might heat him out for center.
roealale gklfllBgr ef Mea.
In the absence of Cooke, Bentley, a sub
stitute at quarter last season who haa been
with the aquad at Lead this summer, would
stand a good chance of being chosen to fill
the vacant position. Minor could be shlftej
to quarter and hie place at right half filled
by Hart, another "N." man of last season.

Gnard,
PHILADELPHIA. Bept. 18. The squad
of foot bailers of the University of Penn
sylvania haa received an addition In th
arrival of Charles Pike, who weigh 10
pounds. Pike lies been two yesrs In ths
university, but thla 1 the first year he
na oeen eligible to play with tho vsrr.lty

Swarthmore, having played tackle on that
team the year before. In 1906 he played
on tha freshman team at Pennsylvsnla and
in 1307 wa one of the mainstays on ths
scrub line. Although a big man, pike Is
fast on bis feet, having negotiated the 101
yards In less than eleven seconds. It I
not known definitely what position Pike
will fill, but it Is likely he will try for
right guard, the place left open on the
line by the graduation of Gua Zlegler.
Athletics at Wealeyea.
INVERS1TY PLACE, Neb., Sept. 11
(Speclal.) With the return of Prof Z. G.
Cierenger, of the department of physical
education, from the east, the athletic spirit
Is beginlng to fill the atmosphere of the
campus. Prospects for hockey and basket
ball are exceedingly bright for several high
school athletes have signified their inten
tions of entering the Wesleysn, especially
since It has shown signs of renewed athletic
life. It has been several yeara since the
Wesleyan had foot ball team, but Judging
from the student talk that la heard, much
enthualaim la being manifested In that Una,.
Should it be determined that the Wesleysn
Is to be represented upon the grldlorn this
fall, it Is most fortunxae In that Its physi
cal director was a star upon the grldlorn
as recent as three year ago. Cierenger
Is a product of the State University of
Indiana and for two yeara waa picked
by Coach 8tagg of Chicago aa an all weatern
half back.

came up from Ultra and started the gaino

Hammoael Makes Raeoral.
LONDON. Sept. 12. The English pefles
trisn. T. E. Hammond, made a record fir
the VQO-mll walk today and also won the
twenty-fr.ur-hnur walk which started at
the Stadium last evening. He covered the
distance in 18 hours 4 minutes 10 seconds
and In the twenty-four hour walked Ul
mile and 8e0 arda.
Jimmy Austin, Omaha' fleet-footed third
baseman, who haa been drafted by New
York Americans, will be missed In the
Western leagus perhapa as much as any
other one rlayer who could leave It at
this time. Austin, aside from being a
great ball player and a noticeable one on
the diamond at home and abroad, Is pop
ular and peculiar among the men off the
diamond. He Is one of those bsll players
about whom Interesting things can always
be wrlttep.
Incidentally Austin's going to New York
serve to emphsslse the notable success
Omaha has had of late years on third
bsse. Schlpke of Washington and Perrtng
of Cleveland, were developed on the third
corner In Omaha and Austin Is admittedly
faater than either of these men. But prior
to Schlpke's coming, Omaha was up agalnat
It for a third baseman. Eddie Hlckey had
made a faithful effort, but did not succeed
In that position. Schlpke came and de
veloped Into a sensation and when he left
Omaha thought It wa ruined. Then
came Peering and he aeemed to have It
on Bchlp In a way, but Auatln ha been
here two season and he I generally con
ceded to be the peer of either of the other
men.
Marks of Hla Distinction.
Austin not only play hi position with
great fidelity, but hi throwing, base run
ring and of late his batting, mark him
as a distinct star. He covers a wide ter
ritory and Is always thinking of some
thing to do next. A headier player never
wore an Omaha uniform. He Is crafty,
cunning and resourceful. His development
of the daring trick of going from first to
third on a bunt serves well thla point. Of
course his wonderful speel as a runner
facilitates this play, but more than his
speed Is hi headwork. With Belden at
bat he haa worked this trick time and tlm
again. He geta a big lead oft first and
I well on his way to second when the ball
Is struck, then, if he sees the third baBe
man, .who went to get the bunt is not back
on tha base ha tear for third and generally
make It. '
In the laat couple of months since he
has been batting left-handed he has be
come one of the terrors of the league to
pitcher. Hi batting 1 regular and timely.
Three home runs In aa many weeks with
two men on bases Indicate something aa
to his hitting. And It Is Interesting to
note that all these home runa were hits
inside the field, the man' marvelous speed
putting him across the plate where most
men could have gotten no further than
third.
Other players In the league have come
to have a wholeaome regard and respect
for Auatln. He ia not a big man, though a
perfectly made man. He stands about five
feet seven inches and weighs about 130
pounds and Is a specimen of athletic per
fection. By trade Jimmy Is a ship bulldef
and this goes to argue for the soundness
of hi muscle.
Ask Kalasky or Elvrert.
Zalusky, the giant catcher of Denver, and
Bill FJwert, who used to play third for
lueblo, either one forty pounds heavier
than Austin, can testify aa to the substance
of which he Is made. One time last season
Zalusky . took a . notion he would root
Jimmy off third and make the base. He
was on a -ulead run and came steaming
Into third like a mad bull, the ball Just
ahead of him. But Jimmy didn't tumble.
He crouched low and put the ball on
Zalusky when he arrived and for the next
two months Zalusky roomed In a Denver
hospital, while Austin kept right on play
ing ball.
Elwert's experience was similar. He,
too, got the worst of a collision with Jimmy
and boarded at a hospital for a while after
ward. On the diamond Austin Is a fighter, but a
clean fighter. He contends for a point as
king as there Is a chance to get it, and then
some, but off the diamond he Is the most
quiet man on the team. He la exemplary
In hi habit and I the old maid of the
club. This I due to hi distinct domestio
qualities. He carries with him on the road
a kit of sewing Implements needles, thread,
buttons and safety pins. If one of the
players rip hi pant, or tear off a but
ton, or happena to do any other such acci
dent, It'a "Jimmy fix this." and Jimmy
gets d..n his workbasket and goes to
work. Many times after a game he will
be busy in the hotel or club house for an
hour repairing busted garments, for him
self ' or other players. Not long ago Joe
Dolan, playing with Des Moines, slit his
trousers sliding Into third bsse. He walked
over to the Omaha players' bench, where
Hall was sitting.
"Where's Jimmy's needle and thread?"
Jo asked Hall.
"Here," and Hall dug Into the w, r'
batket, got a needle about three lncnea
long, threaded with string and performed
the role of Austin himself. Jimmy stood
at third laughing.
Another stunt of Austin on the horns
grounds 1 to wash his suit after each
game.
Ills Wife Is Hla Pal.
Austin's closest and most constant
friend and companion Is Mra Austin.
Whenever possible they are together. Hie
wife Is known at Vinton Street park for
the sest she occupies in the grandstand.
She has missed few games in the two
years her doughty husband has been here.
She Is a scientific fsn and a critical one.
Jimmy never makes a play that escapes her
eye and when the game la over and they
go home for their evening together, they
talk over the details of the game. The
little woman offera suggestions to her
husband and more than once he haa acted
on her auggeatlon without regretting It.
Auatln Is about 6 years of age. His
home Is In Clevelsnd, where he haa worked
at the ship building trade for seversl
year while not playing ball. He has
been In professional ball five years, and in
that time has lost Just seven days. That
waa from a apralned ankle when
a member of the Dayton (O.)
team. In his two seasona Ih Omaha he
haa not lost a day. His regularity Is due
partially to the careful treatment ho gives
himself. He neither smokes, chewsnor
drinks and Is regular in retiring and aris
ing. And if he gets a bruise and he Is
sometimes a aolld mass of them he trests
it scientifkslly and gets rid of It quicker
than would most players. His whole soul
Is put into nis business of playing ball.
Haw Ho Hears the News.
The team was In De Moines when Austin
got the news that he was drafted by
New York. Gonding picked up a morning
paper after breakfast, when ths boy
were sitting out In front of the hotel and
read the newa
'.Hey. Jimmy," he called. "you're
drafted."
"Ia that so, who got met" wii Austin
quiet response.
And then all the boys gathered around
to congratulate him.
He didn't have much to Bay. but of course
was pleased. In a way. Directly ha called

side and they walked off down the street.
Dick and Jimmy have been cloae friends
for two years. What Jmmy said was,
chiefly, that while he appreciated the
recognition paid him he would rather stay
In Omaha another season, as he felt that
by on more year he could bring his batting
up to a Btandard where he would be able
to take his place In a big league with a
greater degree of certainty. But he said
If he went to New York he would go with
the Idea of success and not failure.

National Amalrii Champtoashlp Mar
Be Some Changes.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12,-There are several
reasons why the fourteenth national
amateur golf championship at Garden City,
September 14 to 19. Is likely to prove the
most memorable In the history of Ameri
can golf.
It will mark the flret time in the history
of the game here that the amateur event
haa been held twice over the same courses
ln the east. The amaturs gathered at
Garden City, In 1900, but since then many
change have taken place. In fact, the
course ha been o lengthened and changed
lnce then as to render any comparison
of oorea of little value.
The playing condition for thla year
affair are o totally different from any
thing previously attempted that a feeling
of curiosity as well aa Interest naturally
awaits the putting of the new Ideas to
actual test. It Is a number of year sin
thlrty-alx-hole matches have prevailed.
although few deny .that the method In
question is by far the fairest. In order
to bring about the desired change Weil
