1IH National association has
raised to a distinct class A.

leagues and the American asso
ciation with rights to draft as
majors upon the other minor
That makes five organizations

to prey upon these minors. It la wrong,
jit Is an Imposition and will hurt base
ball In the end. The other minor leagues
had enough to contend with In the draft
rule as It was, let alone making lis lot
harder. - But this Is the outcome of the
American association's failure to get into
major league class on the one hand and
the raciflo Coast's Inability to push
through its demand for an annullmcnt of
the draft rule. The Pacific Coast fellows
re thus placed in a very bad light. They
undone In themselves what they con
Vsntned in others. That is, when the
raft operated so heavily against them
fend they could not use it against any
tiiers. they declared it to be wrong from
fttrinclple, Jjut now that they can exerclHe
U upon other leagues it becomes right.
There is no principle in it for them. It
la absurd, to begin with, for the kind of
ball that has been played on the Pacific
i oaet to be dignified with higher classi
I flcatlon, anyway. The Western! eague and
: other minors might well have agreed to
I this separate classification, though, had
' they not been made to suffer additional
' Injustice and hardship by It. Most fatr
, Blinded men, no matter whether they live
n a major or minor league circuit, will
, admit that the draft rule works injury to
many a minor league team, if not to all,
Mid. should either, be abolished -and- let
the players be purchased outright or be
materially revised. Instead, however,
here is a move to expand It and thus to
Increase the onus it lays upon-the minors. '
What Concessions, could have been made
to those minor ..that were, duped .into
voting for th change?
The limitation to be placed on the sal
aries of minor teams will bo accepted,
doubtless, as a glvo-and-take proposition.
There is reason, of course, in the principle
of salary limitation, but a sense of fair
ness, both to the team owner and the
player, should govern whatever action Is
'taken. Neither the pla.sr or, the em
ployer, should be too severely restricted
or hampered. That woul.I impose injus
tice upon, not only them, but the patrons
of the game as well, and they have to be
reckoned with at all times. The financial
records in most minor league this last
year fully Justify that point. In the
Western and other leagues patrons got
the notion that they were in places being
brushed aside with most any old thing
and they resented the treatment by with-
i holding their patronage, which sent many
a team into the discard financially, and
i pinched many another. Let the solous of
base ball, like other solons, feel the power
: of public favor or disfavor and they may
become more responsive to the lights of
I the public. It will never quite do for
them to grow arrogant amid seasons, for
their arrogance will linger in the minds of
the fans until spring.
The National commission's decision and
order to have the world's championship
series begin next year on October 7 mean
that the National league mutt shorten
its season. There has been ample projf
of the wisdom of this move. Take the
Giants-Athletic sei-ies this year the
weather was so unfavorable that the
games had to be suspended for nearly a
week. Player take chances and the
game loses edge under such climatic con
ditions. It is a good thing the commls-
; alon has acted. But it Is a better thing
for the commission to have planted itself
1 against ticket scalping, as it seems to
have done. This Is far mora Important
than the other. The commission could
not afford longer to temporize about this.
Brother Dave, owing to a partial corn
t ruu shortage, has had difficulty In get
ting a full supply of cubs for the winter,
but he announces that he has enough on
hand to last until Christmas, and by that
time Gondlug expects a carload in from
Iowa, where he has. cultivated the
acquaintance of certain farmers. Pa Bill
had enough agriculturists on his pay roll
during the last year, Cal Valentine thinks,
to land Brother Dave all the cobs lie will
need tor the next six years.
The report that 11 aj Chase is to be
supplanted as manager of the Highland
ers will occasion no surprise, we imagine.
All the booming and boosting Hal got
did not make him a manager, thouKh he
Is a gilt-edged star on first base. Harry
Wolverton, the old veteran third base
man, now managing Oakland in the Pa
cific. Coast league, is said to be slated
for Hal's Job.
Both Cubs and Cardinals are said to be
angling for Nap Kucker, the Brooklyn
aouthpaw who did more than any other
five men to rob the Cubs of the pennant
last season. It is almost Inconceivable
that Ebbettt would think of letting his
tar pitcher go.
Charley Murphy has no objection to the
re-election of President L.ynrh of the Na
tional league, having learned, doubtless,
that his objections carry little, or no
weight.
Fa RourWe will find, us ready fur those
aurprlts when he gits Luck.

OTHER GAMES ON LOCAL GRIDS
Many Amateur Teams Wit Be Bnsy
Today, JVemt Bandar and on ' '
Turkey Day on the Various
Fields Hereabouts.
'There, will be two grand foot ball
duels at Fort Omaha thla afternoon when
the Shamrocks meet the Superiors and tho
Belmonts tangle with the Defenders.
The latter named will play the first
game. The Shamrock-Superior gridiron
battle should prove an exceedingly excit
ing fray taking Into consideration the
bitter rivalry of long standing that exists
between the two squads. Considerable
Importance Is snatched to this affair as
It will be for the championship of the
three cities. The Monmouth Parks and
Belmonts are the only contenders that
had a look in with the aforementioned
squads and the Superiors sidetracked the
Monmouth Parks, while the Shamrocks
defeated the Belmonts. The South
Omaha foot ball devotees say It is ail
Iced but the shouting, while the Superior
adherents are equally sanguine. Neither
team has been whipped by a Nebraska
aggregation ana as rar as the season J
reputation Is concerned the Shamrocks
have a trifle the best of the deal. First
game called at 2 p. m. Second game at
3 p. m. Following is the line-up for the
second game:

A lively - double-header foot ball card
will be pulled off at Florence this after
noon, when the Monmouth Park Reserves
meet the Sherman Avenue Merchants in
the Initial argument and the soldier
from Fort Omaha clash with the Mon
mouth Park Regulars. The Reserves and
Merchants toe the mark about even in
every respect. At present the soldiers
lineup looks very formidable, and they
are ot the opinion that they will make the
Monmouth toys look sick. They will
have the advantage in beef, but the Parks
will easily overcome this deficiency with
speed and trick plays.
Uamee at Iieusou
Out at the Uen:ju Kagle park this aft
ernoon the Fxcelnlora will tie up with
the Joe Smiths from Council Bluffs. The
ExcelNiors are now going at a merry clip
and they hope to extlngulnh the aspira

be a difficult task, as the Council Blurt'
dudes have a fast, heavy team.
Across the waves at Athletic park thr
Dodge IJght Guards will buck up again
the colts from Missouri Valley. So fa.
this season the Valley boys have a clean
record, and as they have played several

WHO IS NEBRASKA CHAMPION
What High School Has Beit Claim
for Premier Honors t
BEATRICE HAS STRONGEST BID
Omaha HUh Makes No Pretensions
' to the Title, Having; lleen Kept
Dark lr Injarlea la
Players.
Tha high school championship ot N
bras k a for the season of 19U seems to b
up In the air at present as nona of th
teams claiming that honor have really
won It nor la there any method in vogua
at present by which th result could be
logically determined.
There naturally Is an tendency tor a
team to claim championship honors 1C it
wins all Its games during tha season.
Hut this claiming tha championship does
not make it a recognized fact all over
the stats nor will mere claims go down
as tha real stuff In gridiron history.
Beatrice High seems to bs pushing tha
strongest claim for the laurels this year
and yet they have not played several of
tha best teams In the state. They have
not met Lincoln llltsh, which Is touted as
having one ot tha best elevens In years,
nor - have hey rahed w th the fast
Chadron team, which Is cleaning up
everything In Interscholastlo circles In
northern Nebraska and southern Month
Pakotu. Neither has Beatrice met tliu
fsnt North Platte High school warriors.
Omnha HlKh Is out of the raca as far
as state honors are concerned, but It has
upset the dope on the Missouri valley
championship by defeating the much
touted fit. Joseph Central eleven, which
claimed tha honors last year.
Lincoln High has a rhanca for aome
claims to the championship by virtue of
the fact that they defeated the Kast High
eleven of Pes Moines, who In turn hava
trimmed West High who defeated Omaha
High.
From present indications it seems that
the dopa is badly muddlid up anil tha
the season v. Ill end with several picker
and not a single plum.
