Jan. .-RpeHal.)-Tne Unl .'itlly of low In destined to wake up soon Bi d learn that Minaivr Eager of th. Corn lniHkrr athletic teams la not bluffing about having dropped the Hawkeye. from the Nebraska schedule next fall, aa waa pre dicted by a dispatch to The Sunday Bee from Iowa City, .on tb. grounds that the Iowa management had received no word from Eager regarding the severance of gridiron .relations. . A atory from Lincoln last week announcing- for the first time that Nebraska and Iowa would not play next fall called forth at once a denial from Iowa City of the veracity of tha local atatemrnt, and Incidentally brought out charge to the effect that Manager Eager waa assuming a dictatorial attitude In ar ranging games with the Missouri valley schools. These accusations hava not ruffled the composure of the Comhusker manager In the leasf, and he still maintains that he has taken a just course In trying to fix the Nebraska foot ball schedule. He also Affirmed In an Interview today the state ment that Nebraska ' will not play Iowa ccxt season. History of Negotiations. Early last fall , Manager Eager asked Iowa for a date In October for the 1910 game i and requested .that the Hawkey, management not fill Its schedule until the Cornhuskers should get their datea Into hape. On December 11 Manager Eager received a' letter from Prof. Bmlth of Iowa, asking . that the Cornhuskers play Iowa on November' 19 and stating that the Hawkeyes would prefer to play in Omaha. Two days Inter the Comhusker manager wrote Prof. Smith that It would be Impossible for Nebraska to meet Iowa on tha November dale, and earing that ome daV In October Would be satisfactory. With this letter and (is direct statement In .hand. Prof. Smith, . tree weeks later, scheduled a game wjth Purdue for October M, the day Nebraska wanted, and then In formed, the Cornhuskers that Iowa would play them on November 19. The Cornhuskers have regarded this ac tion as a direct affront to themselves. It looks as though Iowa took on Purdue In preference to Nebraska . simply because the Indiana school Is a member of the "Big Eight," to which body Iowa also be longs. I( hurts Nebraska pride to be cast down for a school like Purdue school that has' been so poor In foot. ball for tha last six years that the athletic board only twice during that time has awarded members of the team the honorary sweat ers with the university letter. But, no matter what amends Iowa may care to make at this late cccaslon, there hardly Is a chance that It could reconcile tha local management to giving It a school even If sufficient apologies could oe made for the slight to the Lincoln team. Ne braska's schedule Is now so arranged that there la no place on It for Iowa, unless that school would accept Thanksgiving day; but by the Chicago conference rules K la forbidden to play on Turkey day. Heavy" schedule at Finish. On November 5 Nebraska Is scheduled to play Kansas and on the following Satur day, November 12, It Is to take on Ames Thanksgiving day wll see the Cornhuskers la a hard game. November 19 la still Open, but It will be allowed to stay that way. The Nebraska management does not want four hard games In a row. as a contest on November 1 would make, putting Kansas, Ames, Iowa and a Thanksgiving day stiug gle all within less than a month. Two years ago the Cornhuskers tried auoh a combination and It proved fatal to them In the last of the series, when Kansas de feated them, after Cole's men had tied Minnesota and defeated both Ames and So. unless Manager Eager . Is overruled by th Board of Control, Iowa and Ne braska Will pot, play next fall. The local studunts favor, a gams with Iowa and would like to have It played In Omaha, but under the present conditions they are per fectly willing to forego the meeting next season. WITH THE BOWLERS.

FIELD Handred IVIaetera Natlanal Leagae Men Ordered from Field Last Year. NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-More NaUonal league players were ordered from tne uaae ball field last year and later suxpended than In several years pant. Whether due to rowdyism or more stringent application of rules by umpires, 119 men were banished from the field and later eighteen of them were suspended by Presidents Heydler and Pulllam. In U the umpires ordered ninety-four players to the club houses, and. In 1WJ7, 112. The late Harry Pulllam suspended sixteen players In 1H0S and sevanteen In 1907. The Pittsburg team which won the pen nant had the best behaved set of men. Only seven of its players were banished and none suspended. There was a great Improvement In the deportment of the New York players, only seventeen of them being sent from the field and none of them being disciplined by the National league's presi dent. Boston, Cincinnati and Philadelphia each had fifteen men removed, . Brooklyn and St. Louis each seventeen and Chicago eighteen. Of the eighteen players sus pended, Chicago had two. Philadelphia three, Brooklyn and St. Louis each four, and Cincinnati flye. The players suspended were Bresnahan of St. Louis, four times; Griffith of Cln otnnatl and Lennox of Brooklyn, each three times; Evers of Chicago and Gleason of Philadelphia, each twice, and Burch of Brooklyn, Roth and Llescher of Cincin nati iind Knabe of Philadelphia, each once. According to figures compiled by a local statistician, the National league players paid Into the treasury of the league for misbehavior. Of this amount Chicago play ers contributed $!3u. Philadelphia, $125, and Cincinnati, 25. Those fined Were Chance, Evers, Tinker and Stanley of Chicago. Dolan, Moren and Knabe of Philadelphia and Roth of Cincinnati. SUPERIOR FOB STATE LEAGUE. Great Interest Shovrat Over Proposed Orscaalaatloa. SUPERIOR, Neb., Jan. Sl.-(Speclal.) The Invitation of Grand Island to meet with them this week to arrange plans for the organisation of a state base ball league was gladly received by the fans at Superior and arrangements were soon made to send representatives to the meeting. Superior has a fine ball park and Is one of the really good base ball towns of the state. For several years. Superior has played professional base ball, hiring several sal arlr d players and having a team that would meet all comers. The opportunity to Join the Btate league came Just at the right moment. Two Hundred Oat sit Ames. AMES, la., Jan. 81. (Special.) In re sponse to Trainer Jack Watson's call for a meeting of the Ames track candidates, 200 olnder path aspirants gathered In the en gineering assembly room to hear the first lecture of the year by the track coach. The second week of February will find prac tically every one of the 200 working out faithfully In the shed here preparatory to the outdoor track season. Watson Is tre mendously handicapped by the lack of a gymnasium. Ames will be especially strong In the distanoe events, according to the early dope. Kemler, a two-miler, will be a new man in state circles, though during his first year he made great records in the home meet and dual events. Captain John Kraft will make one of the best half rollers in the middle west this season, according to Trainer Watson and Cockerall la picked for points In the mile. Trulllnger, Wells, Kecney and Young will form the nucleus of the sprinters and Holcomb and New man will be th ehlgh hurdlers. SI Lam bert will be greatly missed In the hammer throw, but Lee and Crawford will go far toward making up the deficiency by their work t nthe high Jump. Grlnnell on M. V. Committee. PES MOINES.

That the colleges of Iowa, exclusive of Iowa, Ames and Drake, will hold a state track and field meet of their own this spring Is a strong possibility. Ths Iowa State Teachers' college at Cedar Falls has already sent out Invitations and offered suitable medals for such an event. When Ames, Drake and Iowa Joined the Missouri valley conference two years sgo the dis content among the minor colleges began to develop. This year when the state meet was abandoned the smaller Institutions were out of any kind of a central event to which to send their track teams. There fore the present agitation Is the natural outgrowth of the demand for a track meet. I'sallisa Files at Salt Lake City.

At the Theaters The t horns Lady" ai the floyd Rose Stahl and company In "The Chorus Lady," a comedy In four acts, by Jamea rorDes, unrter direction of Her.ry B. Har ris. The cast: Mrs. O Brlen Alice Leigh Nora O'Brien Isabel Goodwin Stable Bovs Shrimp The Duke ... Patrick O'Brien Dick Crawford , Patricia O'Brien Sylvia Simpson . iiogers George Kerryhart Thomas Magulre Gllea Shine Walter Penlngton Rom Stnhl Clnire Lane A. Stnpleton Kent Da.n Mallory Wilfred Lucas Of the Chorus Millie Sulxer Amy Leaser Ines Blair Beatrioe Brown Evelyn La Rue Annie Ives Rita Nlchol Lillian O'Neill Lou Archer Helen Dahl Mai Delaney Florence Grant Georgia Adams Coote (a wardrobe woman) Kenyon Bishop Rose Stahl Is as charming as ever, and that Is saying a great deal, for ever since she Introduced us to Patricia O'Brien soma years ago at the Orpheum she has been reckoned among the real delights of the stage. Mr. Forbes achieved a consider able feat In expanding the twenty-minute sketch Into a four-act play without de stroying Its Interest or continuity, and Miss Stahl Is permitted, as the result, to give ub glimpses of the chorua lady In her home, at the theater and In other and more trying situations. It Is a girl of the humbler ways of life, one who is fighting her own way to Happiness. "When a girl is trying to make It go on twenty per, see the girl who alts at the dressing table next to her come down to tha show shop In a benslne buss wagon. It Isn't religion, but a good, tight grip on home and mother that makes her able to turn down the man behind the bank roll." And this Is the sort of girl Pat O'Brien was. But her sister Nora was not Nora waa a silly little goose, selfish and spoiled. without sense enough to see where she was going. It was Pat who saved her, but at terrific cost to herself. But Nora only thought of the fact that she waa saved, and went her merry, selfish ' way, unmindful of what became of Pat. In Nora's defense It may be set out that she was but 17 and unused to the world. But cynical, slangy, "wise" Pat O'Brien, without a bit of sham In her nature, and simply working to earn her living and keep her Bister from harm, moves through the play on a wave of comedy that 1 Is clever, and heightens it with here abd there a touch of worldly wisdom that la gTateful, and some serious acting that Is superb. Miss Stahl has changed nona since she went to London and made the blase of the world's capital sit up and take notice. She 1b as earnest and careful as ever, and keeps a good firm grip on her popularity by richly deserving it. The dresBlng room scene in the second act Is given with all possible realism and goes with a snap. The other acta are also finely presented, and the best possible ef fect Is obtained. The company Is good In all respects. 1 "Classmates" at the Krngr. Two men In a struggle for a woman here and there the primal forces of the fight concealed by refinements and conven tion, here and there laid bare by grim circumstances, s the Interestingly pre sented story of "Classmatea." In the presentation of the nlav it fnii- to the role of Phyllis Stafford, represented Dy Helen Young, to become tha maat nn. man and convincing, In aplte of her minor part. Norman Hackett. in the hern in as Duncan Irving, Is strongest in the Jungle scenes as a resolute man up against death In the wilds. And It' is here, too; that Ernest -Wilkes, as Bert Stafford, the villain and ungrateful object of the rescuing ex pedition, is at his best. The plot moves from West Point tn Nt York, and thence In South American wildernesses, and back again, in scenio representations quite worthy. The audience was well pleased. . Vaudeville at the Orphean, "The Agitator," the one-act play In which Heltn Grantley and her company are appearing this week; gains an interest in a timely way because of the similarity o the theme to the struggle of the girl shirtwaist makers In the east. The girls of this playlet are strikers from a pickle and Jam manufactory and their leader is the Agitator. The son of the senior mem ber of the firm Is cast for the role opposite the leading woman. There is al&o a re porter of the typical stage kind, the note book-carrying, hiding-behlnd-a-curtaln youth, who exists only on the stage. After considerable stress and suffering the strik ers win, because their leader, having ex hausted other means, la going to kill her self that her fate may crystallize public opinion in behalf of the cause. At this the scion of the pickle and Jam maker caves In, Eros triumphs, the girls get whetever It was they wanted and the Agitator faints Into the arms of the young plutocrat. Ml Grantley and the othet members of the company are considerably better than the sketch Itself and their f forts carried It to favor yesterday. Two numbers of the bill which commend themselves to favor are the opening and the closing. The first Is Miss Katchen Lolsset, singer on whoe arms and head a num ber 'of trained pigeon perch. The last act is that Of Clark Martlnettle and Joe Syl vester, two acrobats. Eugene and Willie Howard, two young Yiddish comedians who were liked last year, are doing as well this time. Other numbers are the Howard ma siaai Fnetiamis and some trained dogs, a bootblack quartet, and T. Roy Barnes and Bessie Crawford, who sing and talk. 'The Jersey Llllea" at tha Gayety. The Initial performances by the "Jersey Lilies" yesterday pleased audiences of the usual slxe rather more than the majority of offerings at tha Gayety have done. There Is a good deal of singing, all of which was encored, solo numbers by Fannie Vedder and Kate Prior getting particularly en thusiastic reception. Of the men In the company, Leon Errol and James E. Cooper achieve a good many laughs. There are the usual number of . specialties, which are really very entertaining. The chorus Is numerous and comely, and Is actively en gaged during the performance. Mellcn Pleads for Co-operation Railroad President Also Reiterate Statement that High Wages Breed Poor Service.

"Think it over," said Mr. Mellen. "Let's Join hands, . because if we don't work to gether we are both liable to get damaged." President Mellen referred to the proposed employers' liability act. which, he said. If it must come, should come by degrees. He called attention to the fact, almost un known, and never appearing In the news paper, that his corporation had a pension fund of 300 names, paying out $200,000 a year, to which rid employe had to pay a cent. He referred to a statement which he had made to a former, stockholders' meet lug which had excited hostile criticism (namely, this statement that higher wages breed poor service), and While not receding from that general statement, he said that now no better set of 'railroad men existed, In eflclency and , morale.' than those who had Just brought Wot company through a period of acute adversity, and he expressed the hope that in future relation with the properly they woJd be considerate and not seek too large a piece of it. Price of Bibles Will Advance Publisher Says Rise is Due to Increase in Cost of Paper and Leather, CHICAGO, Jan. SI. The price of Bibles will go up on March L according to an announcement made today by a large Bible publishing house which has branches In Cincinnati, Kansas City and San Francisco. The cause for the advance Is the enforce ment of the new tariff on Imported leather and paper. t' "Bibles are now about 20 per cent higher than they have ever. been before," said a member of the firm.1 "The materials for the best Bibles have gone up so high in price on account of the tariff that we cannot afford to continue to sell our output at prices as now listed," ' .
