19 CENSURE FOR CHICAGO CLUB THE 0MA1IA DAILY BEE: SATUKDAT. DECEMBEH 19. 1D0S. 0 DEADLOCK OYER A CAPTAIN Cornhusker Foot Bill Men Take Six Ballot? to No Arail. OlfE MOEE CHANCE IN JANTJABY la Cse Marers Fall Agree at that Tlsao Albletle Board Will Pro ceed to Seleet Jtext Year's Leader. LINCOLN, Dee. 18. (Special.) No cap tain for the 1909 foot bull eleven hat been chosen ret- At the annual election held In the University armory before the atheltlc board this afternoon the fourteen letter men of lat season's team, tied their votes for Collin and Frum, the two leading can did a tea. . BJx ballots were cast and on each of these seven votes went for each of the two candidate. An effort was made to break the deadlock before the last ballot by effecting a compromise be tween' the two candidates, but this failed and the athletic board decided to hold an other meeting on January ( for the elec tion. At that time the fourteen "N" men will be allowed to cast but one ballot. It there Is no selection of a leader on that ballot the election of a captain for 190 will be made by the athletic board. William Chaloupka and Ernest Kroger were the only two tetter men who were ab sent from the meeting today. They had proxies present, however, and their rotes were cast for Frum on all of the ballots. The failure of either Collins or Frum to get the captaincy today undoubtedly will result In the deadlock being broken in caucus before January I and In the elec tion of some other player than either Frum or Collins. It is believed that the tie today will throw the captaincy to either Louis Harte or "Buck" Beltzer. Ilarte has been a supporter of ColHns In the campaign for the captaincy and. It la said, wilt now expect Collins to throw his support to Mm, It is said Harte can prob ably get one of Frum's votes and this will give him eight, or a majority. The followers of Frum declare, however. that none of Collins' supporters will be the final choice. They say that If Frum cannot be elected that they will unite on Beluer and try to get a vote away from the followers of Collins In order to get a majority. Board May Make Choice. If the team la to elect its own captain ' though, 'Some deal will have to be fixed up before the meeting of the athletic board on January 6, for the letter men will be given but a single ballot on that day, and then If there Is no choice the athletic board will assume the duty of making the election. The faculty members of the athletic board are disgusted with the delay which has attended the election of next year's captain, and It was only with great re luctance that they allowed the election to be postponed until after the holidays. They believed (ha selection of a leader should have been made this afternoon, and that tf the men could not agree on a candidate on the first two ballots that they should have cast their votes for some other player than either Collins or Frum.

Kept Staadlag la Llae Ie Hear aad Tickets Net Id CoaBsnisatwB t Take Charge 1st Fatare. CINCINNATI. Dec. 11 The National Base Ball commission today banded down the follcwing decision In reference to the sale ef tickets during the world's cham pionship series in Chicago: The recent world's series played betweeo. the Chicago Nstional league club and the Detroit American league club waa the fourth et this kind that waa played under the auspices of the national committee. Heretofore during the series there was al ways more or less criticism with respect to the manner In which the tickets were handled, but the last one was the first time that tnv written complaint was ever filed with the commission with respect thereto. The matter was brought to our sttention by petitions presented to the com mission signed by a number of the most prominent citizens and patrons of the game in Chicsgo. The complaint, as made, taken In con nection with the personal knowledge that the commission held, that the tickets In large number had found their way Into the hands of so-called scalpers and were sold by them at exorbitant prices. Justified the commission to at once make a thorough Investigation, principally for two reasons: A. To prevent recurrence thereof In the future. B. To fix the responsibility for the im position that was practiced on the Chicago puouc, ii posstoie. In Justice to Mr. Murphy, president of the Chicago club. It should be stated that he was not in the city on either of the days cn which the tickets about complaint has been made were sold and no doubt had he beer, at home a great deal of the trouble would have been averted. If Direct Caarge ef Collasioa. It should aslo be stated that there was no direct charge mads nor any proof sub mitted that the Chicago club nor any of Ita employes were In collusion with the so-called "ticket scalpers." The commission has examined Into this matter very carefully. Our work has been somewhat delayed, principally on account of our desire to fix the responsibility with reference to certain matters In connection with this whole affair If possible. The commission feels If mould be lex In the performance of Its duties If It d d not present to the Chicsgo public a finding of tacts in tnis case as established by the evl dence submitted. Pending an investigation, the Chlcaro club has ssserted In communications to the commission and the public press that ths sale of tickets for the world's series should In the future be handled by the commission exclusively, yet at the last moment in an official Communication to the commission It questions the right of the commission to pass on the mstter by asking whether a club participating in pot season games for the world's championship loses Its consti tutional rights, one of which Is the print ing, supervision and sale of tickets. In reply to this query the commission announces In this finding and has already so notified Mr. Murphy, through its chairman, that we will ohld that a club losee its constitutional rights, one of which Is the printing, super vision and sale of tickets. If after a com plaint having been officially filed with the commission (which has been done in this case) that the sale of tickets had been -unsatisfactory and an examination of that complaint showed that a change was necessary- In this connection It snould be remembered that rule 1$ of the commission pertaining to the playing of those games provides as follows: "The commission reserved the rlsht ta adopt such additional rules from time to time to govern the event, as in their Judg ment may oe zouna necessary. Facts Developed by Iaaalry From the evidence submit' snd th personal an wl d ha th fn mbers the commissi .m ut in this m-.ter we f.n as fOllun.. First That the force employed to hanoie the sale of these tickets during the period allotted was wholly inadequate. This Is admitted by the employes of the Chicago club In writing. Second The tickets were received by the Chicago club on Friday morning, Oatober , at about :. Third It la admitted by the Chicago club, and It was so published In the press, that It was their intention to have placed the tickets on sale at Spalding's store on Friday morning. This waa not done, al though the club had the tickets in its possession. Fourth The public having taken It for granted that tickets should he placed on sale at Spalding's store on Friday morn ing, began to assemble there In the early hours of the morning and remained In line until about 1:30 p. m. Then they were in formed thst no tickets wu'd be on sale there, but that the box office at the ball park would be open at t o'clock the next morning and that tickets could be secured there. While the public was standing 1ft line at Spalding's waiting for the sale of tickets to commence, the Chlcaro club opened the sale thereof at their own office and with out not'ficstlon to thnse standing In line. Sixth Before the announcement came st Spaldlnr's on Frtdsv that no tickets would be placed on sale there tnbout 1-J0 p. m.) the tickets for the series had already reached the hands of "scalpers" and were bvlra- sold to the public at exorbitant prices. Pafclte Kept Itsadlac la Llae. T. Following the announcement made at Spalding's that ticke'e would be placed on sale at the box office at the bsll pirk on Saturday m-rnlng at t o'clock, the pub lc , bran to assemble were at an eariy nnur i Saturday morning and remained in in ' until about 1 P-,m.. when the announcement j was made that "nly tnos wno naa ar ane. ments rnsrte for reserved seats could be accommodated. AV g. As on the day previous, while t"e pub- lie was atandlng In line at the ball paik. the sale ef tickets contlnuWI st t.se ff"-s of the Chicsgo club snd w'thiut notification to those stsndlng in line. As on ihe previous dsy and before the announcement came at the ball park, as indicated tn finding No. 8. the sale of i tickets by scalpers at exorbitant prices on- is Kis niihlln sale of tickets was made at any time previous to the open'ng of the gates st the park on Sunday, excepting In the offices ot the Chicsgo club. It follows, therefore, that whatever tickets cam Into the hands of scslpers, no mstter through what source, had their origin Insofar as ths original purchase was concerned. In the office ef the Chicsgo club. 11. The employes of ths Chicago club con tend that thers could not hsve been a much more insdenuste place for work per taining to the sale of tickets for an event of this kind than ths offices of the Chicago It' follows, therefore. In our judgment, that It would have been much better to have followed out the original Intention a"d have placed ths tickets on sale at Spald ing's and the box office at the ball park as contemplated. Haadreds Sala ta One Persaw. li It Is admitted by the Chicago club that 430 Uckets were sold by It to one PiA' large number of reserved and box seat tickets held out by the Chicago club for divers persons were returned unsold about one hour before the game started on Sunday. These tickets should and could have been sold had proper attention been givn to the matter From this finding of facts as shown above we are of the opinlrn that the Chi cago club Is deserving of the severest criti cism and censure for the manner In which It handled the sale of ticketa during the last world's series and that they must be held responsible for the great annoyance they caused many patrons of the gsme In Chk'Sgo, and that the complaints filed with the commission by the Chicago public wer justified and warranted. As we have already stated, there wa no direct charce made cr proof that anyone connected with the Chicago club aa aa em ploye was In collusion with the "scalpera," yet at the sama time wf call Mr. Murphy's particular attention to finding No. 10 and request that he make a further examina tion of thla particular feature et the case to ascertain If possible Just In what manner these tickets were secured by these persons. CvssssUslea Take (barge. The esse shows thst pr-ference wis given so-called regular customers of the Chicago club over the general public, and wnile it may be that any club wculd have acted likewise, yet the commission condemns the fact that the reservations were secured by parties that were never taken np and held almost . ta the last mlaute and then the t kele returned without being settled for. We believe K will be a very hard matter to prevent tickets during these sertes reach ing the hands of scalpera. even without collusloa en the part of anyeoe connected Wild I6t WUUUDf CiUDS, UtUtS US CU U- GOODYEAR RAIN CO ATS--SPEC1ALISTS IN RAINCOAT SPECIALTIES MORE Good News at the Goodyear Raincoat Store The Raincoat Sale Unparalleled Continues Until Christmas At 40c .rorm No. 29B TIIE ALWAYS OPEN,, Here you have it those of you who did not avail yourselves of the rarest opportunity to buy a high grade Raincoat at the price that it costs to manufacture the garment.
