The Omaha Bikes rolled one of the hlgh
yt totals of tho season In the match
against the St. James and definitely settled
tha fact that they are In the lead In the
fao to stay. A detailed account of the

that enabled them to maintain more than
ft WO average for each man for the series:

' At Hastings.
KEARNEY HAS CHANCE TO GET IN
Two Weeks' Time Given tha Baffalo
toaaty City for Katry -Henry
Slevers of Grand Island
President.
HASTINGS. Neb.. Feb. 15.-Speclal Tele
gram.) The Nebraska State Base Ball
league, with six progressive towns In the
circuit, was organized at a well attended
and notably enthusiastic meeting In Eagles'
hall last night. A seventh town Kearney
applied for membership and Its admission
was deferred two weeks and left condi
tional on Its mustering another city to
make up an eight-club circuit. The
schedule will be arranged as soon as It Is
known whether the league Is to remain as
It was formed last night or be enlarged to
take in two more clubs.
The accepted towns are Hastings, Grand
Island, Red Cloud, Superior, Seward and
Fremont.' Each of these places reported a
fund of $2,500 or more available with which
to start preparations and assumed the ob
ligations Imposed In the by-laws, relative
to guaranty of attendance and forfeit for
failure to complete the schedule. Kearney
and Friend also sent representatives who
gave satisfactory assurances that these re
quirements could be met by clubs In their
towns, but the delegates from the six towns
that were included . In the temporary or
ganization at the Grand Island conference
assumed that Friend was too small to
properly maintain a team, -
Temporary Organisation.
To get the league movement under way
the promoters formed a temporary organ
Ibatlon with Percy Renner of this city as
chairman and Charles Rltsman, also of
Hastings, as secretary. Then followed a
discussion aa to the best method of pro
ceeding with the formation of the league.
At the suggestion of Henry Slevers, of
Grand Island, the representatives of the six
towns that figured in the Grand Island
meeting Hastings, Grand Island, Red
Cloud, Superior, Seward and Fremont were
authorized to retire and determine upon
the number of clubs to be admitted. They
were not long In making up their report,
which rejected Friend and gave Kearney
two weeks in which to find an eighth city.
This report was adopted and the delegates
then formally organised by electing Henry
Slevers, president-secretary-treasurer, com
bining the three offices In the interest of
economy. Mr. Slevers acknowledged the
honor in an address that made an ex
tremely favorable Impression on everybody
present. With words that carried convic
tion, he declared that he would administer
the affairs of the league with absolute im
partiality. In relation to umpires, he said
his appointees would be from towns outside
the circuit. He discussed the business side
of the project and encouraged his hearers
In the belief that the league can be satis
factorily maintained.
' No Favorites Played.
"And because I live in Grand Island."
Mr. Seivers reiterated. "I don't want you
to get the Idea that Grand Island is going
to get the best of .it In anything."
A. C. Felt of Superior, a baseball en
thusiast of excellent Judgment, was named
as vice president. The directors elected
are: G. A. Palmer, Frfemont; C. W. JacobB.
Hastings; J. C. Morgan, Seward. The pres
ident will preside at all meetings of the
directors. The directors will fix tha salary
or the chief , official. . ,
H. A. Pendergraft and J. C. Kelley, who
came from Kearney, Bald the delinquency
or their town was due to the fact that
until a few days ago n oproper Bite for
the games was available and , they said
there would be no difficulty in raising all
necessary funds. The , Seward delegates
said that within three hours after they
return home from the Grand Island meet
Ing they raised the fund of $3,600, with
which to exploit a league team.
The by-laws require the posting of $500
forfeit by each club, In the form of cash
or certified check, as a guaranty for the
completion of the schedule. This forfeit
must be put up on or before March 1
Tha guaranty to visiting clubs for each
game will be $30, but this may not be
paid when games are prevented by rain
or muddy condition of grounds.
The season will, extend from about May
15 to about September 16, which will give
time for a schedule of approximately 100
games. The schedule will be arranged by
the president and the directors subsequent
to March 1, as the teams have until that
time to formally qualify for membership,
As the organization now stands there are
only two towns. Grand Island and - Fre
mont, where Sunday games will be per
mltted.
All proceedings were conducted with com
plete harmony and the right sort of in
terest was manifest throughout.

Train Jeffries
Dean of Mat and Champion Orappler
Will Aid Big Fellow in Shap
ing for Fight.
Farmer Burns of Omaha, dean of the
wrestling mat and Frank Gotch, world's
champion In this gentle art. will help Jim
Jeffries train for his fight with Jack John
son. Jeffries ' passed through Omaha this
morning going to San Francisco. He says
he goes there to select training quarters
and that the fight will surely take place,
and he thinks In San Francisco.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Jeffries, a
cousin, Russel Klsler and his training part
ner, Sam Berger and Jrmer Burns ar
rived with the party which had come from
Hlbbing, Minn.,' where the Jeffrles-Ootch
combination had given its last stand.
Burns waa -a part of the troupe. Burns
dropped off at his home in Omaha and the
others proceeded west.
"The fight certainly will' take place If I
can Insure It," said Jeff, "and It Is my
opinion that It will be In San Francisco.
Berger and I are going direct to San Fran
cisco and select training quarters and then
we will hike down into Old Mexico for a
strenuous hunting trip, which will be a
part of our preparation course. We will
meet Tex Rlckard at Ogden and he will
proceed with us to San Franclsoo. Farmer
Burns and Gotch have consented to come
out and help me get in shape to lick the
'nigger.' Their help will be very valuable
to me. What old man Burns doesn't know
about putting a man In shape for a severe
physical contest nobody knows."
Jeff was looking fine and In high spirits.
KANSAS WINS AT BASKET BALL
Jayhawkers Outclass. Tired Flayers
from Lincoln.
LINCOLN. Feb. 16. (Special Telegram.)
Nebraska's exhausted basket ball players
permitted the rangy Kansas Aggies to de
tfat them in a rough game at the univer
sity armory last night by a score of 2a to 17.
'the Cornhuskers snowed a vim and dash
in their play during the opening minutes
of the first half and after that time the
effects of the last week's trip to Iowa told
on their play and the visitors were able to
run away from them. . .
Captain' Perry of the Cornhuskers did
not take part in the game during the first
half. He was Injured In the game with
Ames last Saturday and Coach Hewitt
thought best to keep him out of the hard
playing. In the second half he was put ln
at right forward and featured by throwing
three goals from field.
Left Guard Edwards was the big star for
the Aggies. His wonderful playing in the
last half gave the-visitors their big lead
on the Cornhuskers. He made fourteen of
the points recorded for his five. Paries,
right forward, also did some splendid play
ing for the Manhattan bunch.
This was the laet game for Petrashek, the
tall Nebraska center. He will quit school
tomorrow to go back on the farm with his
father. He has been threatening to leave
the team for two weeks.
The Kansas Aggies will play Wesleyan
at University Place tomorrow night. Ne

ZYB IS AFTER DOC ROLLER
Big Pole's Manager Appeals for Fin
ish Match with Westerner.
SEATTLE MAN AVOIDS THEM ALL
Contest Between Ebyasko and Mat.
saout Cornea Oat aa F.spected, for
the Two Foreigners Are
Very Evenly Matched.
The handicap between Mahmout and
Zbyszko came out Just as anyone who
knew the two men believed It would and
must. Even Mahmout never had the re
motest Idea he could throw the big Pole
twice In an hour, or at least he could not
have believed he was enough better than
iyb to offer him those odds. He went Into
tha doalonly because these were the only
terms on which Zybszko cared to meet
Mahmout at this time. They both aspire
to beating Gotch and for that reason don't
care to lose any finish matches. N
Of course this notion that any man now
before the public may have of throwing
Gotch Is moonshine, tor Gotch Is in a class
to himself. Both Mahmout and Zbyskko
are good men, perhaps a shade better than
anybody else except Gotch and Farmer
Burns, but there they must remain. If
these two foreign giants ever do come to
gether In a finish, catch-as-catch-can
match it will surely be a hummer.
J. H. Herman, manager for Zbyszko, has
written letters to several leading papers
ln the west, asking them to, do what they
can to force Dr. Roller Into a finish match
with Zybszko. Here is a copy of the letter:
I see where Roller Is to wrestle Ordemann
In Seattle tonight. Do you think there Is a
chance of ever getting that fellow on the
mat with Zbyszko? 1 think the sporting
public ought to force him to wrestle or el.e
declare himself, for I am willing, on behalf
of Zbyszko to sign articles upon any condi
tions as to the division of the purse. All
I want is a finish battle, and If Zbyszko
doesn't win ln straight falls 1 will give
his share of the proceeds to any charitable
organization that you or your paper may
suggest.
Do what you can to force Roller Into a
bout with Zbyszko and, as I stated to you
In a former letter, any arrangements that
you may make will be lived up to by
Zbyszko. All we want la a finish contest.
I remain, sincerely yours,
J. H. HERMAN.
Roller "Won" It.
This 0:-demann wrestle to which Herman
refers went In favor of Roller. Which
means nothing. Roller has "won" many
auch wrestles ln his home town, but nobody
who knows him and the men he is sup
posed to have thrown, believes for a minute
that the matches were on their merits.
Roller is a fine appearing fellow, goofl
build and flashy, but he is not a top-notch
wrestler, nor has he any amount of nerve.
He has ducked and dodged for over a year
to avoid a match with Jess Westergaard
and refused to finish match every time
with anyone who could not see his way
clear to a mutual "understanding" before
hand. If Roller ever goes Into a fair
finish contest with Zybszko, Mahmout or
Westergaard, he will be quickly unmasked.
But he probably will never go Into such
o long aa he and his shrewd partner. Jack
Curley, can avoid It. 1
Should Westergaard be able to down
Zbyszko, a matter fraught with much
doubt, he will then be matched with
Mahmout. Mahmout and Zbyszko are so
evenly matched that they probably will be
compelled to go it for a finish wrestle be
fore the country will be willing to accept
either as the challenger of Gotch. -
Novel Way of
Getting Married
Couple 60 Into Court and Get Divorce
Dissolved Without Getting a
License.
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander K. Chambers,
deciding that it was not good to live alone,
have taken a novel method of getting . re
married. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers . were
divorced by decree of district court Novem
ber 4 of last year, Mrs. Chambers getting
tha decree on the ground of nonsupport.
Instead of getting a license and being re
married, they went . into district court
again and asked Judge Day to dissolve the
decree which separated them.
Now, Judge Day had Just left the law for
the equity side of district court, and It Is
on the equity, side of course where un
happy married folk come to get their gall
ing chains severed. But Judge Day's first
act as a Judge of the equity division was
not to grant a divorce and this would have
been the expected and likely thing.
Instead he listened favorably to Cham
bars' plea and dissolved the decree. Forth
with Alexander and Gladys Chambers once
more became man and wife. Mr. Cham
