other departments of the sm. Provid
ing that Hornberger la stationed In the
line then Gibson will not be needed, for
Hornberner can boot the ball fully well
a the big full back. Rathbone will then
be retained at quarter. But should Horn
berirer fall to land a line position, then
Olbnon will be railed upon to do the
punting for the team.
The need of a sodded field la being felt
very keenly Jtjxt now. Braised muscles
and other minor Injurlea hare crippled a
score of playera. although the squad hae
been very fortunate thus far. The field
refuses to respond to treatment and la now
as hnr aa before the fall rain.
There Is plenty of Joy at Nebraska. The
freshmen squad furnishes grounds for gen
eral rejoicing. A sturdier bunch of young
atera never assembled on a Nebraska field
than la now under the tutels.se of Assis
tant Coach Harry F.wing. Ewlng swears
that the freshmen will beat the varsity.
The packfleM Is hard to beat with Purdy.
McKlnney and Weaver. Purdy halla from
Iteatrlce and Is the best player In the fresh
man sound according to the views of many.
Ho Is a good man on the offence, but shlnee
brilliantly on the defence. Hla tackling Is
a revelation to those who have followed
the Cornhuskers since the days of Booth.
Cole will outline a severe court of work
next week. He has been compelled to go
easy the first week of scrimmage, but the
team work Is not developing as it should
and the Nebraska mentor Intends to work
the snuad much harder. Inasmuch a In
terferonce Is one of the features of the
new game, the coach will spend much time
In the development of team work. The
lightness of the backfield men makea the
task of Cole all the mora difficult.
He believes In the efficiency of his for
ward pass and will concentrate hla atten
tion on this play. Cole hae met with sue'
cess in the use of the forward pass. His
team last year employed It with good result
and tho first season of the pass round
ready exponent In the Cornhusker.

Every night but Saturday.
Thla Isn't the Very best weather for ten
plna, but the way the pins have been flying
around the alleys this week one would be
led to believe It was In the dead of winter.
But there is a reason. The big Middle-
West Bowling tournament has started the
buga considerably ahead of the usual time
ttila year, owing to the early dates of the
tournament The leagues In Kansas City,
St Joseph and St Loul. have all started
weeka ahead of the uaual time on this
acoount, and naturally the fever also
caught the boys at home.
Tk. i. ... - .... I
The preliminary arrangements for holding
the meet are. being attended to by Secre- I
tary Grotte and his valuabla assistant.
Weber. Many matters of importance are
receiving their attention and any sugges
tion that will in any way help to assure
successful tournament needs only to be
mentioned to either to have their attention,
as the Success Of any tournament lies
wholly In the actions and help of the local
bowlers.
Five bowling leagues, composed of forty
four teams, are now rolling upon the two
alleys of the city, and It is not improbable
but what on more will yet be organised
before many weeka. Bowling was never in
a better condition than at the present time,
and more new bowlers are seen upon the
alleys at this time than ever before. To
bowl with some league team la naturally
the ambition of any bowler who once finds
that he can hit 1&0 or better.
It is too early In the seaton to get a line
on the probable leaders In the leagues. In
the Omaha league a system of handicap-
ping will be In effect. This will help the
weaker clubs, and It la the opinion of many
that a close race Is asaured under these
conditions, and It Is close races that make
a league race worth while.
In the Commercial league a number of
strong teams are in evidence this year and
a pretty race ought to be the result. In
the younger leagues It Is all a guess, owing
to the fact thai many of the members are
novices In the game and It will take some!
time to find out Just what they can do.
In the Booster league a good race Is as
sured, aa practically many of the teams
of a season ago are still intact, while good
bowlers are to be found in all the teams.

Desperate Finish
at Columbus
Evelyn W. Tfcke Crack Field Into
Ctunp in the Fait Clait for
Side-Wneeleri.
COLUMBUS, O., Oot L What babltuea
of the Grand Circuit pronounced to have
been the most remarkable heat and finish
seen at any point this year occurred In the
middle mile of today's 2:08 pace, a race
that went to Evelyn V., second to Earl
Junior In the pooling. The Cleveland mare
won on the outside In 3K2V. with the next
four lined up across the track and all so
close together that Evelyn's victory was
doubtful. Earl Junior took the first heat
in 3:0314, a new record for him. At the start
of the second beat Major Brlno picked up
the Cox pacer and carried him the first
quarter In 0:30 and to the half In 1:004. On
the far turn Star Fatchen made a break
and dropped back.
After the second beat had been taken
away from him. Earl Junior remained in
favor and stood a show to win In slower
time until the last eighth, when Evelyn W.
rushed along the rail and won by a length
from Major Brlno, with Earl Junior third.
Scandal appeared during the final heat
of the 2:07 trot, K being disposed of offi
cially by fining Driver Nottingham tSO for
the offense of not trying to win with Hall
worthy, that had beaten Brace Girdle by
Inches the second mile In 2:0614, or time
equaling that which Brace Girdle made
when she won the opening heat from Nancy
Royos with room to spare.
Brace Girdle, fifth choice, was the winner
of the race, as ahe stood beat in the sum
mary. After announcing the fine, bets on
the heat were declared off, but the auction
pools were allowed to stand. In tha selling
Hallworthy was in highest favor. The

FOSSY SIDE OF BASE BALL
Quick Thinking Gets Umpires and
Players Out of Tight Places.
MEAL TICKET LIQUIDATES FETE
oane Old aad Reeent Tricks of tae
Ganae Wkteh rrovoke Grins
on tke Uraadataad and
Bleachers.
When I first broke into base ball as an
umpire I mas sent to officiate at a game
between Saundcrsvtlle and Mlllvllle, In a
mill league up ln Massachusetts. Mlllvllle
was a consistent loser and was hovering
around the cellar position all season. The
club was all to the bad financially, too,
and the players hadn't been paid for at
least two mont'ia.
The players all would have Jumped, but
they were such poor players that they
realised they didn't have a chance with
any other club In the country, and, then
again, they couldn't get enough coin to
pay their fare across the town Une. They
were fortunate ln one way, however, and
that was that the owner of the club ran a
big restaurant in the town. He was kind
enough to supply his players with meal
tickets one of the kind where you get
83.60 worth of eats for 23.
Well, the game that day was hard fought
all the way, and tha surprising part of It
was that Mlllvllle was really playing good
base ball. There was a lot of close deci
sions for me to make, and finally the Mlll
vllle players showed enough ginger to dis
pute me on two occasions.
"Get out of the game, and you're fined
115, besides," I yell at the big first base
man, who was baiting me for fair.
"Don't make me laugh," he yelled back
at me. "There ain't 315 in the whole
league."
Now, I had heard how the Mlllville play
ers were being paid In meal tloketa, and I
knew that they carried the precious paste
boards ln their uniform back packets. I
had oome prepared for emergency by bor
rowing a punch from a street car con
ductor. I eased up close to the first baseman,
reached Into his pocket pulled out the meal
ticket and punched out 35 cents.
"And It I have any more trouble with
you," I warned the player, "I will take
out a planked steak next time."
Recollections of Chris.
Chris von der Ahe was especially anxious
to win a certain series a few years ago.
He heard that Silk O'Loughlln had been as
signed to hold the Indicator. Chris Im
mediately went sooutlng around the town
the night before the opening gams and
found Bilk taking In ths sights.
"Hello, Silks." said Chris, aa he mltted
O'Loughlln. "Going to glf a pig blow-out
up der line tonight Come up; all der play
ers vlll be dere. A leetle to drink and some
more to eat"
Silk accepted the Invitation and showed
up at the stipulated time. Chris was wait
ing for him. In tha center of the room
was a big pan filled with cracked loe and
bottled beer.
"Where's ths rest of the crowd 7" asked
O'Loughlln.
"Oh, dey be here later," replied Chris.
Have a beer. Silks?"
Now, Silk never took a drink of anything
stronger than soda in his life, but he fig
ured something was up, and so he accepted
a bottle. When Chris wasn't looking he
managed to pour the beer out of a window.
Bottle after bottle followed, but the Joy
fluid all went down Into the street
Finally Chris looked up with a happy
smile on his face.- . ..
'Silks, It was going to be some hot games
this series, yes," he said.
"It looks that way,. Chris," repUed
O'Loughlln.
"Silks, I want to vln some bad. Now,
I'm an honest man, 811ks, and don't want
you to do anything wrong. All I vant,
Silks, Is for you to be on der level and
give us the close ones."
Jack Glascock had Just reported for
the season, and with the other players was
ln the clubhouse picking out his suit. After
finding one that fitted him he began looking
for a cap. He anticipated some trouble ln
this, for he had a very small head wore a
No. 6 hat.
He finally spotted a pretty blue cap on
a hook on the opposite side of the room.
'I wonder if that one will fit me?" he
asked of Dan Brouthers.
"Try it on the door knob and find out,"
replied big Daniel.
ttnlck Thinking;.
Quick thinking has won many a game,
aa every one knows. One of the cleverest
bits of quick thinking must be credited to
Jimmy Ryan, of the old Chicago club. New
York and Chicago were playing at the Polo
grounds, and It had been a rip-roaring bat
tie all the day. The score was 6 to t when
New York took their turn at the bat. It
was fast getting dark, and it was certain
that lf tha home team was going to win
it had to do it right then, for "His Umps"
was sure to call the game after three men
had gone out
Charley Farrell managed to bang out
a single and steal around after two had died
Amos Rusie was up and as Amis hadn't
got a safe hit ln about three weeka, nat
urally, the home playera were very blue.
it waa getting ao dark that the outfielders
could hardly be seen from the plate. Two
strikes were called on Rusie, and then three
balla, and the home players began to pull
hard for Amle to get transportation. Th
next ball, however, came on a dead line for
the plate, waist high.
"Bang!"
Rus e's stick met the sphere squarely on
the nose, or where the nose of a ball should
be. The ball was seen to start for deep
center. In a Jiffy It was lost In the dark
ness. Every one knew It was a terrific hit
even though they could not follow the
ball's flight
As Farrell and Rusie tore around the
bases the crowd could Just see Ryan aud
denly stop from a mad splint, place him
self In position and apparently catch the
ball. The next second Rvan was racing
for the Chicago bus, followed by other
members of his team.
Every one thought that Ryan had
caught the ball, and the umpire called the
game. The next day the ground keeper. In
repairing the center field fence, picked up
the ball. Ryan, a few years after, ad
mitted that he never even got a glimpse of
the ball as It sailed over his bead.
Robe's Toaeh.
Rube Waddell Is, without doubt the
greatest quick thinker in the world when
It comes down to making a "hurry up"
touch. Arlle Latham was a bear in his
day, but Waddell has Latham lashed to
the msst when It comes down to "putting
the bee" to a club owner.
There wasn't a week that Rube, when
playing with the Browns, didn't try to
hold up Bob Hedges for a ten-spot at
least. A few years ago. Just as the season
was end'ng. Waddetl was planning an ex
cuse for a touch. Hedges had turned htm
down the last couple of times, and Rube
realized that his sxcuss would have to be
a rieach. '
He waited across the street from
Hedges' office, and when Bob showed up,
about U o'clock In the morning, he ran
across and grabbed him by the arms. Real
tears were running down his cheeks.
"Bob. my mother-ln-lsw is down wnh
typhoid fever, and that robber of a doctor
In my town has refused to treat her tin
less his fee Is paid In advance," blubbered
Rube.
Hedges was touched by the appeal and
handed out the money.
The next day Waddell, having blown II
the money, appeared at Hedges' offlc4
again.
"Bob, I am going to turn over a new leal
and settle down. I am going te get mar
ried again; I'm going to tie up with tht
old gal and need 8J0 to pay the paison."
"Do you mean that you are going to
marry your mother-in-law T" gasped
Hedges. "Ara you craiyT"
Waddell had forgotten the excuse ha
hsd given the day before and was
stumped, but only for a second.
"Well. Bob, 1 11 tell you; It Is Ilk this;
I burled her on the money you gava me
yesterday, and I want this to buy me a
suit of black clothes."
Another piece of quick thinking came In
a game a few years ago when Chicago
and St Louis were playing ln the Windy
City. O'Neill, the Cardinals' catcher, waa
on second, and Mike Grady was at bat
It was the first half of the fifteenth In
ning, the score having been tied from tha
first Inning, when each team bad sent
two tallies over the, plate. Grady caught
a fast one right on the end of his bat,
and turned It down between third and
short It mas going so fast that It burned
the grass all the may out to the left field
fence. On the level, you could see the
sod sizzling. O'Neill made a dush for
third at the crack of the bat, and waa
going at top speed, when he saw Casey,
Chicago's third baseman, make a dive, and
the next moment lie felt himself being
touched, as he supposed, with tha ball.
Under the Impression that he was out
Grady stopped dead ln hla tracks and be
gan to walk slowly to the bench, when
he heard his mates yell for him to get
back on the lines. Grady realised that
something had been "pulled." and lis
turned to look to see what the matter
was. Just then he noticed Frank Chance,
who waa playing left field that day,
throwing the ball to the Infield. Grady
made a dash for the plate, but Chance's
accurate throw killed him off by ten feet."
