for a shortstop' Is still hanging fire. Pa
had a half bargain made with Herr
Hedges of St. Loul-i that he was to get
Red Corrldon back to play thle posi
tion for Omaha and another pitcher
for the Rourkes, preferably a south
paw. With things unsettled In the
Mound Ity. the deal has not yet
materialised, hut Pa remarked there Is
lots of time befoie he will Issue the
spring rail.
The rest of the 1911 lineup of Omaha will
look the same, according to the present
rumor. Jimmy Kane will dieontlnue
basket ball to play first base, and George
Graham will hold down second, since his
knee haa become well again. Skipper Bill
Schlpke. the captain of them all. will be
on hand to guard third and King and
Schoonover are expected bark for the two
ther outfield positions. In regard to the
trying out of some of the wonders of the
bush leagues Pa says there may he a few
who will try their luck, but he has made
no definite arrangements.

MYSTERY WHO WILL GET JOB
tornbusker HasltrtSBa.il Tram shows
lp In Karly Game vrltk Cottier
la Poor Farm Soon on
Trip.
L1NCOL.N. Jan. 44. (Special. )Th ques
tion of the Cornhusker coachshlp will
come up for final decision some time
within the next ten days. Dr. Cla.pp Is
anxious to decide the question and the
undergraduate members of the board have
chafed at the delay. The wait has ex
cited the students and many are predict
ing that the board will find Itself In a
tight place with all of the good men al
ready signed up.
All hopes of "Johnny" McOovern, the
Gopher whirlwind, were dispelled by the
statement of one of the undergraduate
members of the board. He said that Mo-
Govern was not sticking alone on the mat
ter of salary. The gridiron star does not
care to take up coaching as a permanent
work and could not be Induced to coach
during the entire year. McOovern and
Johnny Bender having been eliminated and
with the doubt concerning Benedict, there
Is considerable speculation as to who are
the other candidates for the Job. Dr.
Clapp. as secretary of the board, refuses
to tell who the applicants are, but says
that over thirty men are being considered.
The meeting of the athletic board will be
held Monday night and the selection of
an all-) ear coach is looked for at this
time.
Basket Ball Harprlae.
The result of the practice work of the
Cornhuskers in basket ball has been a dis
tinct surprise to the fullowers of the tram.
In the opening game with Cotner the
Cornhuskers failed to show up In anything
like the form expected of them. Appar
ently lacking In knowledge of the rudi
ments of the game, Cotner had an easy
time with the varsity.
Lack of team woik is assigned bv the
roach as a reason for the defeat of tin
Cornhuskers. During the lat week the
Cornhuskers ha e been working hard, and
the coach assures the players that the
shnwir.g will be more flattering than in ttie
opening game.
Hlltner has been playing a good game st
center, but the guards and forwards are
weak. Sam Carrier Is playing a stealv game
at forward, hut the other members of the
squad have not shown the form of last
year'a team. The season opens next i'ri
dav night in Hie race for the Missouri al-
I ley championship. Immediately following
1 the final examinations the learn leaves for
ia trip In which ii meets all of the teams

rounds with "Young Hackenschmldt," win
ning all four In a short space of time. The

The champion warmed up for an hour

then catre out and started a little match

Gotcli broke out of holds and the vlsellke
manner In which he held his opponent
showed he had lost none of the energy that
made him heavyweight champion.

Americans.
CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-When ia a golf club
not a golf club, was thrashed out at the
annual meeting of the United States Golf
association here tonight. The fight over
the Schenectady, or center-shafted putter,
was the main Issue and a bitter fight took
place which promised the possibility of a
split in the association.
The Schenectady club has been barred
by the Royal and Ancient club of St. An
drews, Scotland, tho home of the game,
but many golfers In the United States want
a ruling In the United Stales Golf associa

ban on the stick. It was said that should
a resolution be adopted upholding the ruin
of St. Andrews, several leading eastern
clubs threaten to Join the western golf body
and form a new national association.
Nearly every golf club In the country was
represented by one or more delrgutes. John
1. Ward, representing the Garden City
Gulf .club, was Instructed to fight for the
St. Andrews rule. The Pllnflcld Country
club, represented by President Calkins, op-
! Posed the rule barring the Schenectady
