THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY P, 1310. CALL WICHITA BALD EAGLES Eonor the Slick-Fated Owner bj Giving Team This Name. ABOUND THE WESTERN LEAGUE All the Town Are Warning l' oa This Old gehject of Base Dall la 'This Year Ann Domini, 110. Why not call Wichita the Bald Eaglet? Isbell, president of thai club, Is aa bald as a rat and furthermore Wichita haa been put to It for a name.- wearing the mls nomer lait year of "Jobber." Of courae the town doea lome Jobbing, but nines there ta Omaha, that doea about a hundred time aa much aa Wichita and several other towns on the circuit that beat It, why not drop thla alleged tltlo and pick tip the Bald Kagleat Just atop and con template the force of auch a name, to aay nothing of Ita fitness. - Then there la the .Wichita newspaper the Eagle which might become champion of thla title, with tta eminent contemporary aa the Beacon light Try It. Theee are busy daye for Manager Jack Holland, from now until the season opens there will be a hundred and one thlnga to be done before the Drummera will be ready to make their Initial bow to the Western league. That St. Joaeph will be represented by a. team that will play ball from the start la a foregone conclusion. Manager Jack. baa signed up aome twenty-five player, from whom he will pick the Drummera. Active work will begin on the green diamond about March 24, at which time the players have been notified to report During tho first two weeks in April the team will be busy getting Into form and arrangements are being made for aeveral exhibition games with Hannibal and Qulncy teams. Holland hopes to take the team for . a week'a outing. He does not expect to put on any of the ex blblrlon gamea In St. Joseph. The equipment of the local club will be brand new throughout. The Drummera will appear In fine new suits, which are to be ordered as aoon aa possible. Tht ball park la to b made over, to suit the demand for room. Everything will be put In shipshape In ample time for the open ing games. St. Joseph News-Press. Harry McChesney says he vlll play Sat urday ball In "Dlnkvllle, rather than report to St Joseph. Well, at that St. Joseph probably would not abandon Its Intention of getting? Into the game again. Mo-O-.eaney is one of those crusts who falls in last company and gets too swelled up to play In minor company, where he belongs. There are a dosen and more men In this .Western league, who can play large ring round thla same Harry, so If he wilt 6nly come back and try to content himself, the eys will endeavor to make the pace fast enough to keep him Interested. Babe Towne, who will manage Sioux City, announces that he has bought Fenlon from Louisville and that the big fielder who has played with .Omaha, Lincoln and Topeka, will resume his rounds of the Western league towns by playing .with Sioux' City this season. The Denver Times has dealt a fearful awat to "Ducky" Holmes. It says Dan Deepain, the young man now acting as owner of the Lincoln team, ' can go 'TOucky'' one better as a trouble maker for the league;. The Tlmea says Donnle Is threatening all sorts of trouble for the roagnatea at their meeting this month over the umpire question Which leads tome men who know Donnle to remark, "Oh, pshaw." Owner Dick Cooley of the Topeka club thinks that the schedule difficulties which liave arisen because of the fact that there will be only one far western club in the league thla year may be met successfully bjr the schedule makers when they meet next month. , "In forming a schedule," said Coofey Jesterday. ;AU of the clubs are paired cff. In the. past Pueblo and Denver were paired together. This year It Is likely Den ver will be paired with Wichita, Topeka with St. Joseph, Lincoln with Omaha and Des Moines with Sioux . City. Last year Topeka and Wichita were paired." The last bunch of 1S10 contracts, ao far aa players already in sight, are concerned, was deposited In the Topeka postofflce by Manager Cooley yesterday. So far Cooley has received no reply from the "phenom" college southpaw twlrler to whom a con tract was mailed a. week Ago and Is begin ning to feel silently worried for fear that this man has slipped, through hla fingers. "If I don't land hlni" Cooley aaid yester day. "I've got to get busy right away looking ground for a swift sidewheeler. As a rule. J don't think much of leftrhanded pitchers, but we've got to have one good one .to take care of clubs which run heavily toward , .left-handed , batters.." Topeka Capitol, . President Isboll received the contract he forwarded to George Hughes, laBt season's Wichita, aecond baseman this morning. It wasn't signed.

Coffrolli, the California sport king. Is rarlnK against the malls Irom Lon don to San Francisco on a tlO.OOO wager, according to his own story. Sunday morn ing he pasted through Omaha on the Over land Limited and up to the present time believes ho has run the mail service an even race. If Coffroth reaches the Sun Francisco postofflce ahead of the letter, which Is addressed to the San Francisco Athletic club, he will be tho winner of the 110,000 prlae money. If the letter .gets to 'Frlco first the wager will go to Eugene Corrl, the English boxing promoter. . "The letter and I left London February 1,7 said Coffroth at the Union station. "We left the English metropolis on the same train and according to English mall offi cials should have left on the same boat. the Cunard liner Mauretanla. "I don't know how much time the letter has lost since reaching New York, but I do know that I am now two and one-half hours late In my schedule. I reckoned on the awlftest trains from New York to Chi cago and Chicago to Omaha, but the Over land ' Limited was alow In pulling into Council Bluffs. From New York to Chi cago I took the Twentieth Century flyer and that 18-hour trip was certainly a fast one. . , "That 110,000 looks like sure money to me now, but of course there's no telling what wilt happen between here and the coast. Anyway I'm not missing any trains." Coffroth has been abroad for two months arranging boxing matches for United States and foreign clubs. Although he denies hay ing anything to do with the business end of the Jeffries-Johnson bout,, he declares that It Is a sure thing, notwithstanding all reports to the contrary. "I am positive the fight will be pulled off In San Francisco," he said. "Qleaaon and Tex Rlckard are not at outs for good and they will come to an agreement sofin. If I had Rlckard here now I think I could convince him in five minutes that the bout should be pulled off In Fan Francisco." While In Europe Coffroth secured a con tract from Freddie Welsh to meet Battling Nelson for a fight in San Francisco. He also has Ketchel and Langford lined up and expects to arrange a bout between Drlscoll and Abe Attell. "Freddie Welsh and Battling Nelson will probably fight In "Frisco, July 2," said Coff roth. "If the Jeffrlea-Johnson fight comes off Welsh and Nelaon will fight aa a pre liminary. It would certainly be a big at traction." , Coffroth is due to reach 8an Francisco at midnight Tuesday. If his train Is on time he win have made the trip, from London to the Golden Gate In exactiy eight days. "How did you happen to make' the big wager?" he was asked. "Corrl thinks I'm slow, I guess," said the California sportsman as he leaned up against his Pullman at the depot. "Last Tuesday Corrl and I were talking In his office when he opened a letter and said, 'Our mall service la Certainly unequaled.' "Right then and there I told Corn that I could beat a letter from one postoffioe to another, and as I was about ready to leave lor America the wager was made that I could reach San Francisco ahead of a let ter. "Corrl and I made up the letter, both of ua signed It and I saw It mailed In Lon- J don Just as I boarded a train for Liver-1 pool. The race Isnow on and I'm making for home Just as fast as steam can carry Base Ball at Kearney School. KBARNEY. Neb.. Feb. 6.

FOX INVENTS SAFE SPIKD Omaha Manager Blunts Edge of the Old Device. Manager Billy Fox of Omaha has turned hla Inventive genlua to the base ball spike question and has produced what good judges say appears to be the only reason able substitute for the leg and arm de stroyers so long in vogue in professional and amateur base ball. Where tho other Inventors turned to wood, chains and leather spikes. Fox took up the old knlfe edsred spike and worked upon that. His first move was to cut off the sharp, kn'.fe-like corners of the present style spike. He blunted the edge and die-sunk the cut ting edge until It Is Impossible, on account of the blunt, tooth-like protuberances, for the sharp edge of the spike to reach the cuticle of a fellow player, no matter how hard the base runner may slide Into a sack. The new spike Is merely a modification of the old ground grlpper, but with all of the she rpnesa and wound producing 'possibility eliminated. The Fox spike will bruise or bark the shins of a fellow player, but will not pro duce the deep, dangerous cuts and wounds so familiar with the old spikes. Fox has thown his Invention to a number of players and base ball experts and they have pro rounced It the best thing yet. Ban John son la now In possession of a sample shoe, fititd with the Fox spikes, and word comes thst It will prooably be adopted by the American league next year. The major leagues have appointed com mittees to Investigate the question, and all of them are looking for a solution of tha problem. Fox's spike present Just ss strong and sure a footing, If not mora so, than the old spike. He has tried It out thoroughly on sod. and even on tee, and the blunt polnta. with the sunken cutting edge, have met every requirement. It la one of a aeries of inventions bv Fox. and If thla Is adnsfted William expects to buy a villa at Mii.netonka and do hla family marketing Ir. a alx-cyllnder limousine.

COLORADO O Til ANKSOI VIO DAY Prospect Now Western School Will Play Lincoln Thro. LINCOLN. Feb. 7 (Special. )-The Uni versity of Colorado Is seeking a foot ball game with the Cornhuskers for next fall. Only one date Is available for the Boulder eleven and that Is Thanksgiving day, for which tho Cornhuskers have as yet booked no contest. There has been some talk In local circles of putting the Kansas Aggies on the Ne braska schedule for that day, but the Man hattan team does not wish to play away from home on Thanksgiving and refuses to meet tho Cornhuski-ra unless the game be played In Manhattan. Manager Eag-r has received a big guarantee from the Aggies for a game In the Kansas town on tnat day, but has declined to accept It. The local athletic board haa decided that the Cornhuskers must play at home next season on Thanksgiving day. as the Ne braska Teachers' association will be In convention here at that time and will wish to see Nebranka play under the new rules. Because of this desire to have ie- braska play at home the proposition of bringing Colorado here for that day looks wood to the local manager Just now, and he will make the Boulder people an offer to como to Lincoln. oWrd was received from E. C. Warner, tho star freshman end, who left school re cently to Join his father ort the farm, by Manager Eager today to the effect thst tho young fellow would come back to school within a few weeks. Warner quit the university because his father needed his services on the farm. As soon as he went Manager Eager appealed to the boy's father to let him return, and the parent has Just consented. Young Wsrner is the best end amterlal the university haa held In several seasons and he Is bound to be a wonder In playing under the new rules, for he is fast, shifty and understands, all points of foot ball.

A vessel on fire and abandoned at sea was reported today by wireless telegram to the naval hydro graphic office. It appears probable the burned schooner was the "George F. Phil lips" of Seaford, Del., which sailed from Baltimore on Jonuary 23 for Wilmington, N. C, In command of Captain Gasklns. She carried a crew of four. The vessel was built at Bet hi a, Del., in 1901, was of 270 gross tonnage, 130.3 feet long and 2S.I feet beam. So far as reported the crew haa not been picked up or landed at any port.

Prof. Hayes was appointed to the chair In the law school by Governor Boles. - NEVADA D. A. Armstrong, a pioneer banker and merchant of this county, was probably fatally Injured when he fell from a ladder at his home In Zearlng today. H s shoulder waa broken and he received seri ous internal injuries. He waa formerly in the mercantile and tanking business In Ames, Zeariiig and LUcomU At the Theaters 'The Old Homestead" at the Boyd. "The Old Homestead" Is still a good play, no matter how often you have seen It. But, without the charm of Denman Thompson's personality something seems lacking. Mr. Edward L. Snader, who Is playing Uncle Joshua Whltcomb, Is an ex cellent substitute for Mr. Thompson, who has reached the age where longi tours with a play-acting troupe are out of the question. Many of the quaint turns and merry, twinkling ways of the originator of the famous character have been caught i by Mr. Snader, who Is natural and very effective throughout. His work lacks noth ing in sincerity, and at all times he In vests the character with the rugged quali ties of the New England fe.rmer, tempered with a Jovial good humor and marked by a kindly shrewdness that endeared the old boy to all. But Mr. Snader cannot give the. whole show, and most cf the others lack the spontaneity essential to the proper Illus tration of the several situations. A most enjoyable feature of the production Is the double quartet of male voices, which sings several songs very well. The piece Is beau tifully mounted, great attention having been paid to realistic details and the effect Is charming. The door yard at the New Hampshire farm home, the parlor In the New York residence, the street at Grace church and the living room in the old homestead are all reproduced most faith fully. The audience at the Boyd last night was not very large, but It apparently enjoyed the performance Immensely. "The Girl Question" at the Krig. Now, really, pne cannot take up the girl question seriously, so It Is Just aa, well that the production appearing under that title be frivolous. True, there Is a wee bit of serious plot appearing here and thero, but not enough to CASt a shadow into the j sunsnine or song and jest. 1 There's nothing to perplex about, Just I let the heroine have her way, there are no I vllllans to pursue her, 1 and all will end 1 well.
