Proposition Being Considered to Have
Nebraska Organization Stop
with September 1.
HASTINGS, Neb., Aug. 13. (Special Tele
gram.) As a precaution against possible
financial troubles, the directors of the
Nebraska Base Ball league may be asked
to present to the local managers a proposi
tion to shorten the schedule to end on
September L instead of on September 10.
It Is believed here that all teams are able
to go through to the finish under the
present schedule, but' the finances of nil
the clubs are getting low and if the. last
ten days are knocked off It will leave the
league in better shape to resume next
year. Reports received here Indicate that
with possibly one exception all towns now
in the league will reorganize for next year.
Red Cloud has been disappointed In its
patronage, bill If that or any other town
drops out Beatrice stands ready to take
the franchise.
DOUBLE-HEADER FOR SUNDAY
Rain Prevents Saturday's Game and
Pn and Dick Arrange for
Trro Sander.
Owing to the fact that rain prevented
the game Saturday afternoon, the managers
of the Topeka and Omaha teams held a
conference and decided to have two games
Sunday. The first game will be called at
1 o'clock sharp.
