The firat vfk of spring training In the
"f-tge" for the base ball candidate brought
out aurh a brilliant display of material
that even reticent Captain Beltsrr waa
forced to admit the rhanr-rs for a strong
nine thl coming season are exceedingly
taod. The aquad which on Monday num

Among thla big bunch of men are fourteen
or fifteen, who are of first claws ramify
caliber, and who with the manv benefit
of the long training season, ought to be In
fine form for playing winning ball during
the aouthern trip which will be made In
April.
In all the array of player,, though, there

weak last season and ' unless some
"phenomena" are discovered soon tha same
condition among tha tossing artists la
likely to obtain again. The three man,

doing good work In both years. The chief
fault with him waa his wlldnees. H now
la aald to be caps bio of pitching steadier
ball and ought to be at bis best with the
Cornhuakers this year.
Fleming, a Junior In the aoademto col
lege. Is the most promising aspirant for
a twirling job of those who appeared this
week. He worked out with the squad last
season and attracted considerable atten
tion, on one occasion. In a practice game,
striking out three of the best varsity
batters. He seemed to tire of tha dally
practice and quit the aquad before tha sea
son opened. This year he Intends to get
all the benefits of the long training period
and ought to make a strong bid for a
petition In the box.
' l.eeklaar for Pitchers.
Captain Beltaer and Manager Eager are
scurrying around for pitching material and
may add three or four twlrlers to tha squad
within tha next week. Johnson, left end
on tha foot ball eleven Is being urged to
report for practice. He was put last spring
for a while and appeared to have a sorxJ
wing. He has done considerable amateur
twilling and. in caae ha trains con
sistently, will probably stand a fair chance
of "making" the nine.
"ftp" Cooke, star quarterback of tho
varsity eleven for three years, joined the
iquad of baae ball men Monday and Is con
sidered to be a strong candidate for one of
the outfield positions. He can cover much
around In the field, catches wall, and has
a goot batting eye.
About tha most encouraging news of tha
wwk was to tha effect that W. B. Metcalfe
son of Richard L. Metcalfe, bad removed the
conditions In his school work and was
eligible to play baae ball. Young- Metcalf
- played fast ball In tha fraternity league
games last ,year and Is considered to . b
of ' varsity material... Me will - tryout for
shortstop and probably will succeed In get
ting tiie position. Nebraska was not strung
at short last season, but with Metcalfe hold
ing" down that job and with Captain Beltser
playing third that part of the Infield ought
to materially Increase the efficiency of the
Cornhusker nine.
Behind the bat tbe Com h us Iters are cer
tain to have a strong point, for at present
four men who- appear to be of varsity
caliber are trying out for the position. They
ara Oreensllt, Carroll,. Sturtanegger and
Ratcllff A fifth catcher, Patterson, who
worked out with the team during tha last
three seasons, is thinking of Joining ths
squad next week. Of tha four men who are
with tha candldatea npw Qreensllt and Car
roll seem to bo the rpoet promising ma
terial. Carroll waa backstop on the varsity
in 18U7 and Is a first-class player. Qreen
slit was a freshman last spring, which fart
la believed to have been the only thing that
prevented his getting tha ca'tehlng job on
tha 1808 nine. He la sxpeoted ta make fats
letter this season.
'Ratcllff is a new man to tba squad. - He
appears to have "the goods" and Is said
to be a strong ca lobar, both In backstop plug
and in throwing tha ball to second base.
Bturtsnegger was kept off the varsity last
seaaon on account ef tha freshman eligi
bility rule. He Is a capable man for tha
position behind tha bat, but can play other
place on tha team satisfactorily and, owing
to the abundance af backstopptng material,
he may later decide to try out for sue of
tha Infield sacks.

The Nebraska leader Is locating- all the

While admitting their team has but little
chance, to win the title tha Nebraska stu

erable Interest In the preparations for the
games and will keenly watch tha outcom
of the serlea hoping that tha Cornhusker
quintet may In some way turn a neat trick
on Kansaa that will . give Nebraska pre

Coach Clapp has been spending, extra ef

will continue his special work with them
for the early part of next week. He will
not make any predictions about the games,
but says he thinks his five will be In the

This Is taken to mean that he looks for
tha Cnrnhueker to give their orronejite a

iTZEEN MOTOR SHOWS
WELL
Has
rsrbnretor Made Specially
by
the Read of Shops.
The McKeen Motor Car company had sev
eral exhibits In, addition to the gasoline air
compressing engine at the show. A gaso
line engine piston was shown, ten Inches
In diameter, with a twelve-Inch stroke.
One of those pistons develops as much
horsepower ss the sverage four-oyllnder
automobile engine. The Carburetor shown
Is an especial device, made by Mr. McKeen
to meet a variety of conditions In railroad
gnsollne engine service where It Is neces
sary to have extra flexibility of motors.
The valves are directly over the head of
the cylinders. In accordance with the latest
practice in automobile engineering. The
valve motion on the air compressor Is simi
lar to that on the Flat racer, economising
weight and 'space, which is obtained by
using one cylinder for the double purpose
of a gasoline engine and an air compressor,
by which the gasoline explosion takes place
above the piston and the air Is compressed
below the piston. ,
DID ATOLL LOSE HIS TITLE?
Mce Polat Arises on Which Fight
Followers Can Talk. ,
NEW YORK, Feb. 27. Since Drlscoll
outpointed Abe Attell a question has arisen
ss to whether Attell lost 'the featherweight
title. Technically the title was not In
volved because the men fought above the
featherweight limit, which la 123 pounds.
But Attell was so confident of beating
Drlscoll that ha waa willing to let the
title go with the decision. Here again la
g hitch because no decision was rendered.
The Queonsbury rules say that the winner
the man who (rets the verdict of the
referee. In this city, under present eon
drtlons, the referee la not permitted to
render a derision.
Attell should get after Drlscoll as soon
aa ha retunrs from England and challenge
him to a bout of twenty rounds or morn
and at tha feather-weight limit. California
offers a chance for such a battle, and It
would settle for all time who Is the better
man. ...

Wetlrrs Letts Meet at
tha Train.
Fo a brief hour rraturday morning
Omaha wan the center of the baae ball
map. Tha White Sox special with thirty
three player on the Comiskey pay roll, th
old Roman himself, N. I.. O'Nell, president
of the Western league; W. A. Itourke, Quy
Oreen and Frank label), owner of teams
In tha Western lesgue; a dosen players for
Psclflo roast leagues, half a dosen news
paper men, all travellns- with tha team,
were at Vnlon station In Omaha between
1:18 and 9:15, and then the apeolal stsrtcd
en Its trip halt way across tha continent
for a training trip of two weeks In San
Francisco and three weeks at Low Angeles.
The Special consisted of seven cars.
"Old Comanche" himself Is as debonair
and opttmlstlo as ever. "Nothing Is ever
much wrong In this world." says the smil
ing king or the White Box, "If you just
take It the right way."
Jones Still at rassle.
Talking to an old-time friend of his St.
Paul days, Comiskey said. In reply ta
question:
"I don't know any mora about tha ulti
mate outcome of the negotiations with
Jones than you do. We will ' meet, of
course, during this trip, and after that I
will perhaps be able to say 'something defi
nite. Walsh Is holding out, and farther
than that nothing can be eald of his case
just now. Of course, we expect to have
him In line. Donahue Is not with us on ths
trip, because he had to do some work con
nects with tha national bawling meet at
Pittsburg. He's In good shape, however,
and really doesn't need much training, Wel
day joins ua here, and here he comes with
his grip."
Then along came big Frank Isbell and
Mrs. Isbell, with Izxy's smile as big almost
as Comlskey's copyrighted one.
"Hello, Frank; how do you do Mrs.
Isbell?" and the glad mitt waa stuck out to
the folks from Kansas, that have been a
part of the White Sox family for many
years. "How are yotTall, anyway?"
"Fine as a fiddle," said the rangy sec
ond baseman. "Just splendid," said Mrs.
Isbell. Both looked just as healthy and
happy as ihey talked. If Ixsy Isn't still
in the finest kind of athletic form, then his
looks belie his condition. He never looked
more , like a thoroughbred In his life, at
this time of the year. Kansas air and care
ful living do almost as much for a man
as the same things In Nebrsska.
Old and New Frleads.
Comiskey was kept busy shaking hfOids
and exchanging: greetings with old frinda
and new acquaintances, but he found time
to have a llttl business conversation with
Bill Rourke, Guy Green and other men In
terested In getting hold of young players
or old ones. -
"I'm going to be with the boys until
about Msrch 24," said Commy. "X hav
the family along, and we ara going to re
turn from the coast over the Canadian
Pacific. We will slop off at 8t. Paul for
a short visit with old friends; then run
into Chicago to gather up the Inoee ends
ant complete the necessary details for the
opening of the season." '
"Arc we going 10 winT or course we

on that. There Is a larger proportion of
certainty about our bunch and the way in
which they will work on any given day.
and when they lose the other fellows are
playing better ball, or clrcumatancos that
we can't- guard ugainst Interfere. I try to
know my men and to have them know
me; -that's all. With a mutual under

VIGOROIS PROTEST BY TAFT
President-elect Deliberately Mls-
jaoted In Tariff Interview.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27. President-elect Taft
made a vigorous protest last nujht against
what he said was an absolute misrepresen
tation In certain-New York afternoon news
papers as to what he had said during th
day In answering questions regarding tar
iff revision.
He had stated, he said, that the present
buslneaa depression was undoubtedly du
In a large measure to th fact that the
tariff la to be revised' at an extra session
of congress to meet March 16. that tt was
of the highest Importance that thla work
of revision should not ba delayed, but exe
cuted with all diligence. Mr. Taft also said
he favored tha Idea of a permanent tariff
commission, th plan for which should ba
worked out with deliberation, tba duties of
such oommtaston to ba ta make a careful
study of tba operation of ths proposed
new tariff law, to th and that suggestions
might be mad In th future, which would
tend to place tha whole queatlon of th
tariff on a mora certain and scientific
basis.
Upon thl statement Mr. Taft was made
ta say. that tba present tariff schedule
war responsible for tha present business
depression, but if they wr revised .their
awn parent would not knew them, all of
which wa amplified at length and mad
positive by appearing to be a vigorous and
enthusiastic statement.

Mr. Taft waa particularly perturbed over
what he called a misapprehension, particu
larly In view of tha weight which I given

He had, he declared, changed hla position
In no way, and held the cam views h

The subject of the tarln cama up today

W. Van Cleave, president ef th National

Mr. Taft spent the dsy at the H. W. Taft

NEW YORK, Feb. 27. Tha peace society
of New York brought together around tha
banquet table at the Hotel Astor last night
a notable gathering- of men prominent In
national, stain and city affairs. Tha dinner
was In honor of Senator Kllhu Root of
New York and Joseph 8. Choate was toast
master. President-elect William H. Taft, ,
Governor Charles E. Hughes, Right Hon. I
James Bryce, the British ambassador;
Baron Kogoro Takahlra, ambassador from
Japan, and Joaqulm Nabuco, Braxlllan am
bassador, wer the speakers and the gnierts
numbered about fx. Among; these 900 were
many prominent citizens of New York rep
resentatives of all tha arts, professions and
Industries.
The wpeechmaklng did not begin until a
late hour, the menu and proarrtm card
showing th speak era In th following
order:
Senator Kllhu Root, Ambassador Bryce,
AnVbassador Takahlr. Ambassador Na
buco, Governor Charles E. Hughes and
President-elect Taft.
Addros of Mr. Hoot.
There wa a remarkable demonstration
when Mr. Root made hi way to tha speak
Ing pdlptt.
Mr. Root dwelt upon th cause that led
to war and sold:
"I agree with Mr. Choate that there. Is
no Inconsistency between th work of a
secretary of war and th work of a sec
retary of peace, because so long ss selfish
ness and greed and a willingness to do
Injustice continue In this world we must
have a policeman, and th International
policeman whose presence mekes th usa
of his club unnecessary is the army and
the navy.
"It rest with the srmy and navy to
make sggresslon snd Injustice unprofitable
and unattractlv. .
"War comes today aa the result either
ef actual or threatened wrong , of on
country to another, or as the result of a
suspicion by one country that another In
tends to do wrong. , The least of these three
cases of war Is actual Injustice.
"In this country of ours, we sre far
from free from being guilty of all those
great causes of war. Th gentlemen who
Introduced Into the legislature of Cali
fornia, Montana and Nevada the legisla
tion regarding the treatment of the Japan
ese tn those states, doubtless had no con
ception of the fact that, they wer doing
to that great nation of gentlemen, of
soldiers, of scholars and scientific men, ot
statesmen, a nation worthy of challenging
and receiving the respect, the honor and
homage of mankind, an Injury by an Insult
that would bring on a private war In any
private relation In our own country.
Thank Heaven, the wiser heads and tha
sounder hearts. Instructed and enlightened
upon tha true nature ot tha proceeding,
prevailed and overcame tha Inconsiderate
and thoughtless."
Perhaps no secretary of state, said Mr.
Byce had dona so much to bring abot peace
and amity on this continent and between
the UnlUd States snd other power. Apart
from his admirable work In South Amrlca
and In and for Central America h bad
negotiated and signed twenty-four arbitra
tion treaties with various countries. Includ
ing all, or nearly all, the chief states of
the world. With Great Britain six treaties
hsd been signed and by them nearly every
question that had arisen or wss likely to
arise between Canada arid th United
State had been provided for.
President Roosevelt and Mr. Root will
long be remembered aa statesmen who hav
deserved well Indeed ot the sacred caus
of peace. H must be pleasant to them
to reflect that In the very end of the ad
ministration tha fleet haa returned safe
to these shores hsving been everywhere
received with demonstrations of friemlr
ship and good will." i

It was almost midnight when Toastmaattr
Choat presented "President-elect Taft to
put th finishing touch to thl plendld
tribute to our distinguished senator-elect,"
aa he put It.
Evryon In the room aro and with a
waving ot handkerchiefs and entering
greeted Mr. Taft' as ha took the speaker's
platform.
The first thing that 1 want to say," in
an apologetic tone, began Mr. Taft, "Is that
Ellhu Root ought to be president-elect and
I a prospective member of the cabinet be
cause I know how to serve under him.
"There are one or two things I want t
y about Ellhu Root, that I know because
I have eerved under him, and I have served
with him. ana the pleasure of that associa
tion I cannot overstate. If there is a man
with a profounder knowledge of tha law.
with a clearer understanding of human
nature and of human Justice and with a
greater power of putting himself In th
position of the man whom he haa to advUe
to his jiroper course than Ellhu Root I
don't know him. The pleaaure, th honor
of having erved th country in aaaoclatlon
with Ellhu Root and Theodore Roosevelt
will continue to be tne greatest honor I
have ever enjoyed.
"It fell td my lot to be invited Into a far
distant country, where, If I had not gone,
I should not be here. At least that Is th
way it fell out. nd I owe the fact that I
went there to the clear, lucid, forclbl tate
ment and advice of the guest of the even
ing Following that advice, aa I say. I
have the pleaaure of being here and testify
ing to his statesmanship and what I want
also to testify to, because I do not car
whether thl or what orlety It Is. peopl
like men with good red blood In them nd
In thst respect that is on of the qualities
of thl statesman.
"I rnneratulate the people of the state of
New York that they have such a nobl
senator and a man with whom they can
well compare all the great men who have
rnrsented them In the aenat of th

MUST PREACHERS BE MARRIED?
Problem of
944MI
Sapporllna; a
a Year and
Donation.
Wife oa
A young pastor suggests that th mar
rlag question may be an Important
reaa-n why young men hold off from th
minlatry, not because they fear in enter
the married atate on an Inadequate sal
ary but because they resent the tjrsn-
nnns demand of the churches that th
raator must marry, whatever tha pro
vision they make for hla aupport. Th
writer give his experience In Huocees
msgaslne. He ha been three and on
half year In the ministry and haa held
istortes In New Jersey snd New Eng
land. At the outset of hla snlnlaurlaj life
he wss "Just 31 and poor." He wa of-
forl "fciio a year and a 'donation' " for
i.is first call, but b waa asked to "oon
as a rasrrled man." Ho was finally en
!. "conditionally." Ha succeeded In
pleastnaj hi flock and wa afterward an
jtvged for a yesr. But
"Tba committee, whlla expressing ap
preciation of my ministry, could not de
part without a covert hint that the church
would count It a favor It I would marry.
During all the succeeding months of my
pastorate this thought was kept con
stantly before me. If I made a call I
waa sure la he reminded of that empty
parsonage that ought to ba accupled.
Then a field opening to me In New Frig
land, It seemed wiser for me tn conclude
my New Jersey' pastorate.
"Here again I met the marriage ques
tion. Tha church over which I ara at
present pastor wrote to me ss follows:
"The -people are unanimous In calling you,
but make one condition. I. .. we would
like to have yon twins; a wife. Tha
church was at the time giving a salary
of lffl per year and a donation! I told
the church that under such condition T
could not consider the pastorate. Af'er
mora or leaa correspondence had passed
between u. I was engaged (provisionally),
the contract being determined at the will
of either party, t had been here but six
month when a vffte was passed to extend
me a call ' to remain as pastor for an
other year. A committee accordingly
called upon me, stating that the church
waa well pleased with my work and had
no criticism to make, but that some of
the people were anxious to know whether
I intended to marry during the year!"
When Ma a Lies.
"If you want to tell whether or not th
man you are talking to Is telling th truth,
don't Ink him. In the aye," said a ba.ik
teller to som friend the other night. "I
thought It was just the other way," said
on of those present. "I've always under
stood that It mad It harder for the liar
If you Inked squarely In hi eyes." "That'
a wrong Impression," continued the bsnk
teller. "The man who know how to lie
know how to look you In the eyes when
he' doing I' And th man who isn't a
regular liar, jt who ha made up hi mind
to II to you. decides first that Vie must
look you straight In the eyes. It Is the
voice, when you don't look at the eyes,
that tells you whether the other fellow Is
lying. We -use the system frequently In
th bank. A man will come In to tell us
some business tale. W look at hi feet or
hi hands nr his knees, but never In his
eyes. If he' telling the truth his vole
will be firm and straightforward, and will
not affect It, but If he' lying he ll be con
fused by your action, and hi voloe will
tremble. He'll hem and haw and clear his
throat. You may rest assured then that
