MmhiM tor governor on a plaform which
provide for county option, la getting the
aff dally now from the Bryan party com
mittee. Purine the Isst week, a prom Ian t
lemocrat who keeps track of thing polit
ically said the name' of Shallenberger waa
mentioned In ten weekly newspapers. Thot'a
all, Just , ten. Ha took thla to mean that
the publicity department of the Bryan
Committee la looking after Mr. Bryan and
allowlnr Mr. Shelleraberger to paddle h'a
own eanoe. r
"What could Bhallenberger expect?"
said thla democrat who la watching the
campaign-. "He lost .out In the organlia
tion of tha state committee and Bryan
selected hts own brother-ln law. Mr. Bryan
In running for president and he haa no time
to pay attention to any one fine In Ne

Imagine Shallenberger Isn't doing business
Just because his name la not In any of the

. Berate I.earoa for Rait,
George W. Berge, against whom a deal
was put up In the primary, Jeft today for
the cast to campaign for Bryan and he left
with a faint Idea, that somehow and some
where he had not been treated fairly by
the democratic nominee for president. Tie
knew Mr. Bryan had given his permission
and consent for Vila friend. Mayor Dahl
man, to run for governor, Hnd urged him to
stay la the race when Dahrman offered to
withdraw. In view of Mr. Brynn's proles
tations of hla sincerity and responsibility,
Mr. Berg will ruminate a long time dur
ing hla absence. Just where the screw Is
looae. friends of Berge know that Shallori
berger played Mayor Jim for the saloon
man. Barge ftir the prohibition and him
self as tha safe ami sane middle-of-the-road
candhlate. Berge may possibly got
back In time to make. a speech or two for
ShHllw.berKer and If he does Mr. Shallen-
berrer probably will get out au injiinclloi
to stop him. .
Traveling; Men's Taft Club.
The Lincoln Traveling Men's Taft club,
at Its meeting last night originated an Idea
that will cut some loe In the present cam
paign. The club passed a resolution to Bend
out u letter to all traveling men and to Hi',
newspapers asking for expressions showing
the conditions In 18 or "Then and Now.1'
Tlio beat of these answers will he Hpread
In a book called the "Rnh of Honor " and
will be preserved for future generations to
ace. The letter will set out that the travel
lug men have no record of the condition
of the traveling, man In 18!W, the railroad
employe, tha patron ofjt)). traveling man,
the mechanic, the carpenter- or In fact any
class of workmen. To get that record old
timers are Invited to send' to the club at
Lincoln expressions used by his patrons
when he attempted to sell goods back In
the democratic, days; expressions of the
railroad employes In those days; the cxjire.i
slon of the farmer In those days In fact,
the expressions of everyone who tried to do
bualnesa. The club believes It will have
one of the best histories of the late demo
crats daya that haa ever been compiled.
Tha club says In the letter that those who
desire may 'enclose with the letter from $1
to HO for a campaign fund. Of this amount
the writer may designate just how much
ho oaati to aend on to New York to help
out Oovernor Hughes, who recently spoke
through Nebraska. The remainder will be
used In the Nebraska campaign. Last night
WO was contributed by three members of
tha club,' of which one half goes to the
Hughes campaign fund.

SECTION KOREWA KILLS HIMSELF
Swan Aaderaon of Pender Commits
Suicide by Hanging.
FENDKK, Neb.. Oct.' 11. (special Tele
grsm.) While his wife and children were
decorating tha grave In the Tender cem
etery where a short time ago his son, a
regular soldier, was laid to rest. Swan
Anderson, section foreman of the Omaha
road, committed suicide by hanging.
Anderson had been despondent and wor
ried for many days because the work on
the section of which he has charge waa
not going to suit him. He complained that
he could "not get men to work for the
Omaha Railroad company at the wages the
company waa paying, some $1.40 per day,
and the roadbed was not In tha best of
condition. Brooding over this trouble and
talking about It Sunday, Anderson took his
own life, fearing he would be responsible
for the death of others In a train yreck If
his track waa not kept up.
The method for causing death was un
usual. Anderson fastened a long, smooth
wire over the chimney of his home and
drew It down over the eavea of the house.
After he placed the loop of wire around his
neck he evidently found It waa too long, but
he got down on his knees and threw him
self forward on the wire, causing strangu
lation and the smooth wire cutting deep
Into the flesh. He waa found by neighbor
and hla family when they returned from
the cemetery at S o'clock, and had evidently
been dead about an hour.
Swan Anderson waa E2 years of age, the
father I of six children and has three sons
and a daughter grown. He haa worked
for the Omaha road, cither In the capacity
of a section hand or boss, for twelve years.

Game Today Chicago at Detroit.
CHICAGO, Oct. 11. After eight innings
of clockwork base ball today, "Wild Bill"
Donovan, premier pitcher of the champions
of the American league, weakened under
the prolonged strain and the Chicago
world's champions captured their second
game of the present series; S to 1.
Detroit's hopes, which were high after
even innings. In which Chicago had made
only one hit, were dashed In the eighth.
In that sensational portion of the ' game
Donovan was hit for a home run, s, triple,
a double and three singles. Incidentally
he walked one man and allowed another to
score on a wild pitch. Overall, on the con
trary, waa steady throughout the game,
holding the Tlgera to four hits and one
run. That run marked Detroit's despairing
effort In their Tialf of the ninth.
Nothing could have exceeded the excel
lence of Donovan's work up to that fatal
eighth. He had speed, an assortment of
curves, which he mixed up In baffling
style, and he cut the corners with the
greatest precision and speed. He had the
best of Chicago's batsmen, swinging wild
and twice struck out the . redoubtable
Kllng. Not until the fifth did the world's
champions connect with his wizard curves.
Then the distinction fell to Overall, who,
considering the ' high class of ball he
pitched, did not need the added glory. But
he did It poked a short fly Just beyond
Downs and the Chicago enthusiasts cried
loudly for a run. It was their first legit
imate chance for ridding 'themselves of
their excitement. Donovan, however, only
smiled and a moment Inter the side was
retired on a flashing double play.
Doivna Reaches Second.
Not a runner on either side reached first
base until the third. Then Overnil passed
Downs and the latter was aacriflced to
second, where his obaequies as a runner
were performed. This was farther than
Chicago went. Overall reached first base
because Rossman, who stopped his
grounder, Instead of covering the bag him
self, waited for Donovan to do so, and the
latter dropped his throw. But the big Chi
cago pitcher got no further. Again In the
sixth Overall reached the initial Hack on
his single, but with thesi two exceptions
Chicago could do nothing with Donovan's
delivery, that la, up to the eighth. Then It
was different.
overall's pitching was masterly. Ho waa
found for only four scattered hits, no two
of which came in the same Inning, and onn
of which has to be counted because Meaars.
Overall and Kllng both went after Schaef
rr'B bunt, and each stopping for tho other
to field It. He Issued passes twice. Craw
ford and Mclntyre, who hit above .300 all
soiiaon were unable to connect safely with
his delivery. That he was effective In hold
ing down Crawford with the kind of ball
ho pitched, was remarked by critics of the
game. Crawford Is known as one of the
surest hitters of a high ball In either league
yet Overall curved them around his nock,
or shot them straight across without get
ting into trouble. Each 'aide- waa Credited
with an error, but neither of them figured
In the score.
Weather la Cool.
Up to the eighth the game waa a pitcher's
battle, with both sides for the moat part
going out one, two, three, le began to look
as though the experiences of last year a
championship series, when the same pitch
ers worked, would be repeated, namely, a
tie game. There was comparatively little
noise. The spectators were too highly
keyed by the neck and neck struggle to In
dulge In much cheering. And besides, de
spite the bright sun the air was rather
chilly, which had a subduing effect. There
were a number of rugs and blankets used
with comforts In various sections of the
stands. The main grandstand held a fair
sprinkling of women, whose headgear,
when It happened to be of the latest sweep
ing model, nearly always created consider
able merriment, which was not untlnged
with malice. The stand was crowded and
In one wing men and boya stood up and
cheered wildly when ever a woman with
tho gigantic fall fashion In hats walked
down the aisles. Outwardly the applause
was good natured. but It had Its Inception
In the fact that one of these hats would
block the view of half a dozen spectators,
while anyone sitting at the side of a woman
thus bedecked had to lean far" aside to
keep out of range. However, with the be
ginning of play the mockery of cheers
-teased and the fair spectators saw the
game serenely through.
Home Rnn by Tinker.
Te Joe Tinker belongs the credit for
breaking the spell which Donovan has held
over the Chlcagoana for so long. Steln
feldt had struck out, and Hofman had
reached first because Schaefer, after a
beautiful one-handed pickup of his weak
grounder, had thrown low. The crowd
scarcely hoped for more than a single
and hardly expected that when Tinker
came to bat. Donovan sent a fast walat
hlgh Inshoot over the plate, that la to aay,
partly over It. It never got all the way,
for the atocky Chicago shortstop, who
had already popularized himself by fast
fielding swung victoriously. The ball
soared high, ao high that It seemed cer
tain that it must drop into Cobb's hands,
as that player was playing well back as a
reBUlt of previous experlencea with Tinker.
But there was an unusual amount of
energy behind the hit and It sailed high
and clear Into the stand In right field.
Tinker, preceded by Hofman, trotted
around the circuit amidst tha first real
cheering of the game. Horns were blown,
bells rung, and throats strained to In
crease tha ovation. Manager Jennings
sought to persuade Umpire Kiem that tha
hit should go for only two bases, but
Klem only smiled. Such have always gone
for home runs. The ground rules provided
that hits Into the overflow crowd should
restrict the runner to two bases, but thla
certainly had nothing to do with that
tremendous wallop of Tinker's.
Two-Base Hit by Kline
The application of the rule was Illus
trated by the next man at bat, "Noisy"
John Kling. Kling drove the first ball
pitched Into the overflow crowd In left
field and stopped running when he had
reached aecond base. This onslaught had
affected Donovan, but ha still smiled and
retired Overall on a weak grounder. Ha
went to pieoes, however, when Sheckard,
the next batsman singled over aecond and
cored Kllng. The whole team. In fact,
seemed to be stunned by tha suddenness
of it all. Bheckard made & vrta steal
of second and went to third on Evers' aafe
bunt. Roasman, tn a moment of absent
mindedness brought about hy the general
catastrophe which had happened . to De
troit's aaplratlona. allowed Evers to flaah
away from first and reach aecond, stand
ing up, while the ball remained In tha first
baaeman'a handa. Schulto tripled to deep
left center, scoring Sheckard and Evers.
Then to finish mxtters up, Donovan 'threw
a wild pitch, and Schulte tripped across
the plate with Chicago's sixth and last
run. Chance walked and stole second,
while Schmidt was mining over the ball
In Detrolfa audden fall In fortune, but
Stelnfeldt flew out, retiring the side.
Jones Replaces O'I.eary. -
Detroit substituted D. Jonea for O'Leary
for a final try tor victory and the substi
tute was given his baa on balls. He went
to second on Crawford's out, and scored
when Cobb singled to center. Rossman,
however, hit Into a double play and the
game was Over. The attendance, due
largely to the chilly weather, was only
17,700 paid admissions, according to official
figures made public after the game. The
gross receipts were S36.927.
Late candlelight, there is such Illumina
tion In certain quarters of Chicago, saw
thin, shivering, blue-lipped lines before the
various ticket windows. Some of them,
who might be distinguished by the camp
stools they carried, had been there all
night. Some Tiad had their breakfast, but
many others, with coat collars and should
ers hunched over against the sharp October
chill, drew on the larders In their pockets
for sustenance. Thus they stood while
darkness disappeared and daylight came,
for hours until the wickets were thrown
back and the ticket sellers appeared. Later
many of those who had oeen In line all
night or since early In the morning were
to be seen attempting to dispose of their
purchases at a slight advance In price to
late comers. Many of them, however, were
compelled at the last moment to unload
their tickets for less money than they paid.
A number of professional scalpers, who It
la said, hnd procered a larg? number of
general admission tickets in the end sold
out at a discount of from 50 to 73 per cent.
When play began and the grandstands
were filled there were few unoccupied seats
In the bleachers. To restrain the overflow
crowd, low board fences were erected In
left field. In right center field and along
the four lines beyond first and third bases.
Some spectators preferred to stand behind
this fence ra'her than to sit In the more d s
tant bleachers. Two hundred policeman
under tho personal direction of Chief
Bhlppy experienced no difficulty In keeping
the crowd behind the barriers.

DES MOINES, Ia.l'Oct. ll.-(Spoclal.)-The
fastect foot ball' that Dea Moines will

H.y 0,1 the Drake stadium here October ,
24. This year the atate university and the '
agricultuial college ut Ames do not meet i
because of a little unplen-antncss between
the two state institutions hist season I
Either of these Institutions is ftronger than '
any umer learn in me siate. Therefore the
big game, the game that will be 'most
venly matched In all the atate of Ir.wa
this year between Iowa teams will bo that
between Drake and Grlnnell on the
grounds here.
In years ' gone by the Drnke-Grlnnell
game has occupied the front place In Im
portance and Ir.terest. For a time It took
a back Beat. This year it Is to the fore
again. Reports are to the effect that th
Urlnnell team Is a "hummer." The re
ports of the strength of the team are
claimed to bo exaggerated by Grlnnell bovs,
but while many of the men on the reg iiar
team are new and unknown the fact that
they have displaced old men of known abil
ity lt-rjds color to the belief that they are
a strong aggregation.
Drake enthuslusta have begun to talk
about the "ho doo" that ever hangs over
the Drake team when It meets Grlnnell
It Is claimed that the Drake team many
tlmea has gone down to defeat before Urln
nell though pose.ing a much better team.
This "hoi'doo" Is something that haa both
ered the ta un 01 many occasions with Gr n
111, but not with any other team Drake
""m? n,PlnB" hls year that Its spell

rhe Importance of the game Is not in
the making of the championship so much
as in the evenness of the teams and the
desperation with which each will fight for
the victory of that game.
GOXDIXG TALKS OK MINER BROWN
Veteran Catcher Says Morderal la the
Nerviest ot Men.
At least one man In Omaha waa not sur
prised that the Cubs beat the Giants in that
great play-off game In New York, when
ha learned that Miner Brown waa In the
box for Chicago. That man waa Johnny
Gondlng, Omaha's veteran catcher.
Gonding haa caught Brown when he was
breaking In, when he was pitching for
Omaha and preparing to take his place as
the greatest pitcher In the world. He had
more to do with training this young man
than any other catcher. He had a largo
work In taking off the rough edges and
putting Brown In shape for faster company
Gonding knows Brown like a book and
when the -score of that crucial con teat was
flahrd from New York, Johnny said:
"When I aaw by the ticker that Morderal
was In the box. I made up my mind Chi
cago would win. Mathewson Is a great
pitcher, the Olanta had the advantage of
being at home and all that; but I knew
Brown and what he was capable of ac
complishing. I tell you the equal of that
man In point of Iron nerve and doaved
stamina never lived and he's the headiest
nltcher In the business. He's got every
thing In the p'trhtna art that a great
pitcher needs and beslile that, better than
that, he's ant a nerve that no nr man
In the b"!neas poeees. At 'nes llle

pitching denariment remain aa thev are
tndav." remarked Ruck Franck, Captain of
the Omaha team. Just before he left for h'a
I home In Ixis Anseles the other day. "Tou
I see how few 3'0 hitters there were In each
league this year: well, you II see' fewer
next year and Boon you won't see any. Of
course, I mean this condition will soma
aboot rrovidlne the pitching rulea remain
as they are todav.
"What's doing It T Well, the spit ball has
aa much to do with it aa any other one
thtnr, perhaos more. The anlt ball Is some
thing no batter can pui or guard against.
Even tha pitcher doesn't know where It's
going When It leaves his hand, but it'a
sure to put a battar off watch. It Is prac
tically unhlttable. Aceidenta will happen
sometimes and a batter hit one of these
mvsterlous curves, but not often. The re
sult of tha spit ball haa been to cut down
the percentages of some of the greateat
batters baa ball aver saw.
"My gueaa Is that tha man who rah hat
.MO In a year or two will be regarded a
slugger. Of course, that doesn't contem
plate the prohibition of the spit ball, aa Is
now being advocated In some quartera.
The chancea are thry won't outlaw the spit
ball right away, although most big league
managers are In favor of outlawing It. Rut
even If they do, pitchers will discover some
other sort of curve to take Its place. The
fact la. pitching Is developing more thnn
any other department of the game and
that means reduction of batting averages.''
BELLE VtTE FALLS TO GET GAME
College la' Worklnar Asalnat tome
Odda with Men Thla Year.
The Bellevue management and team
were badly disappointed at the failure to
secure a game for. Saturday. It was ex
pected a heavy game would be pulled off
on the local gridiron and Coach Cherrlng
ton's pupils were brought down Wednes
day afternoon to lend a little variety to the
practice and teat the efficiency of some
new plays, but tha expected game fell
through and no local college was found
with the date open.
Aa the next best thing the first and
second teams were lined up for a gama.
The feature of the gams was the diffi
culty In telling which team waa first and
which second. Many of last year's second
team men still playing as aorubs, are al
most as efficient as the men who follow
Captain Marvel.
Bellevue appreciates Marter's returning
hero this fall and for the spirit he haa In
stilled Into the back field, but Marter
returned at a considerable cost and also
left an offer of coaching a freshman col
lege, e
Barry, another old man. Is making the
hole at center look much smaller. Carey,
the old tackle. Is the mainstay ot bis side
of the tine and plays the same old true,
sure, foot ball. Enfield, the fullback, makes
the same gains through the line whether
there be a hole there or not.
A big loss was suffered when Doe was
taken sick with typhoid fever and put out
of the game for the season. He is now
In an Omaha hospital. Dos would have
made another halfback or end this year.
Munger, who has thus far made a fine
showing as halfback, has lately been half
sick. He seems physically "shot to pieces"
In spite of faithful training he Is contin
ually getting rick when on the gridiron.
The coach Is worried over thla position.
There are yet some men tn fill the place,
but all are light, or green. Curtis
a last year's man, could make a terrific
half If only someone could instill the right
spirit Into him. Fast and heavy, he could
do wonders for hla team, but Is still a
doubtful quantity; like many new men
he seems at tlmea to feel that he is doing
a favor to the team Instead of appre
ciating his opportunity.
Bellevue has long been a light, snappy
aggregation. This fall there are heavy
men galore. The question la, Will they de
velop the stuff that makes victorious
teams? Some would gladly change the In
crease In, weight for the snap of past
years, yet all considered, there la contin
uous Improvement.
YORK HIGH WINS FROM ACADEMY
Big; Srore Piled I p Aaratnst Students
from Lincoln,
YORK, Neb., Oct 11. (Special.) Fresh

team of heavyweights Lincoln Military
academj. In which are several former
star players ot Omaha, Lincoln and other
Ne. raska high schools felt confident find
hoped to win the four day's foot ball con
test with York. The York players were
not so confident for the reason that It was
their first game and the first time several
members had ever played In a real foot
ball game. In weight there seemed to be
little difference and If any It was In favor
of York.
Referee McFarland tossed the coin, Lin
coln Military academy, . .
They chose the '' south goal where they
were favored by the breece from the south.
From the time Military academy kicked oft
and after three or four plays York played
like veterans. Within four minutes after
Lincoln Academy kicked off York made
Its first touch down. The second touch
down was made In five minutes, the third
touch down In two and one-half minute
Lincoln Academy stubbornly resisted,
hur lug ta b g men at York, but were un
able to st.p their ateady advance and
only once In the f 1st half did they hold
York. They were forced to punt and twice
they tried the forward pass and failed to
make good.
At the end of the first half of twenty
five mlnut s the score stood York, 43; Lin
coln Academy, 0.
In the second half for a few m nutea
It looked as if the Academy might
be able to stop York, but York took a
spurt and pljyed new formations atte p.ed
fake passes and It waa a rejietlton of
piling up runs similar to the first half.

SHUBERTS GRANTED APPEAL

Court for Final Adjudica
tion. KANSAS CITY, Oct. ll.-(Special Tele
gram.) Despairing of an early hearing In
the federal court on tho validity of the
contract with O. D. Woodward, the Shu
berts, by their attorneys, applied for and
were granted an appeal aturday to the
United States court of appeals, the ap
peal from the restraining order granted -by
Judge John C. Pollock, prohibiting the
Shuberta from ousting Woodward aa man
ager of the Shubert theater here. The
trial will come up in the court of appeals
at tha December term. Being an appeal
In an Injunction case, It takes .precedence
on the docket J
The Bhubert attorneys contend that this
contract la void by reason of Woodward's
acts, wh le Woodward Is seeking to com
pel the Bhuberla to live up to the contract.
Though the proceedings were begun two
months ago, tha question of the validity
of the contract Is no nearer a solution
than at the outset. No date has been set
for the hearing. The Shuberts hope to take
up this matter directly with the United
States court of appeals. In argument for
the appeal before Judge Pollock today the
attorney for the Shuberts, being required
to give a bond for costs, asked that Wood
ward also be required to give bond.
"This man Is hostile to us, he Is a rival
theater manager and he can ruin the Shu
bert theater, thereby by his acta If he
undertakes to do It," the attorney aald.
The court gave no heed to the request.
