Ducky Is again to be manager of Eloux City, as tho prints havo already stated. That displaces Babe Towne, show ing what a big movement It la, for Babe is some big:. Holmes has had some- hard luck runs since letting go of the Sioux a couple of years ago. His escapade at Mobile was a complete failure and that is tho biggest thing he had tackled. The only reason why fans on this, circuit do not exult aver Ducky's return la that he has always been a hard man to get on with, but at the same time he Is a kaso ball man, with a Ions career as a major league player for a background. He Is a good fighter and will undoubtedly put Sioux City back on tho ' Western league map. from which, however, It has .not been absent any great length of time. George Huff, who as a scout for tho Cnbs, unearthed some of the mort famous players of that famoua team, has quit Murphy and gone to work for Cleveland at what Is reported to be tho Mshe.it (alary ever paid a scout. There can never be any discounting Huff as a finder and Setter of new material. Ho is there. that's all, and when he gets on the t: ail of a man he wants the man might as well surrender, as Ruelbach can testify. A Half dozen different names will not rave him. The Cubs are trying to get Billy Hamilton, the old-time player, aa Huff's successor. He ought to be a good one. Boston National have first claim on him, though. A scout Is an Important poke in the wheel of a base ball machine these days. Pa Rourko already has larded three promising young players for next year in Pitchers Vavlt and Loudel of Minneapo lis and Catcher Beckendorf of Cleveland and he Is, of course, still on the trail. Laying aside all boost talk, your pa is down to the brass-tack determination of landing a team In 1912 that will win the pennant. Nothing has done mere to in spire this determination than the two dis appointments ho has encounte: ed in the last two seasons. In 1910 he began with what looked like a winning team, and some of the men who were first to go to pieces have since made good In faster company, Shottcn for one. But all that Is In the past, eyes and hopes now center on the future. Murray's fall down In the world's series proves hla downfall in New York, for he Is to go to Boston for Mike Donlin, with a few thousand thrown in by McGraw. At least, that is the report. Home thpre be who still adhere to the notion that Muggsy never really let go of Handsome Mike, except to help out Boston and find whether or not the thesplan could come back. Seeing he can, McGraw bags him. It will seem like old times to have this rantankerous Giant out in the garden again. Now, let the fans KO to speculating on whether the Giants would have beat the Athletics had they had Mike. It will make a good winter topic. The case of George Stovall la a queer one. He goes In and managea Cleveland and the team lands higher than It has for years, but Harry Livls having al ready been engaged to run the team, tltoval limes his Job. Then It appears three teams seek him, now he Is out and apparently unsought by any. Bomers of Cleveland, anxious to land him a good berth, la trying to get waivers on him to make him manager of Toledo, whose control has panned from Armour to Bom ers. This la a case of a man being pena lised for making good. Connie Mack haa done a handsome thing in making Danny Murphy captain of the Athletics to succeed Harry Davla. Danny lias been a grand old spoke In that grand ,ld wheel t 'T many years, having starred In tho Infield as well as the out and he is there yet. as Ma work In the recent world's series proved. He can lead the way and that la what la wanted. The veneral Walter Camp used to in dulge the hallucination that no western foot ball team could ever defeat an east erner. Since the recent Chicago-Cornell and Michigan-Pennsylvania games, hi. doubtless Is not sj Indulgent. 1'robably the west might triumph much more If given the opportun tv. The rulo of reducing the number of players a team may carry la nothing new and If It la nut enforced any better than similar rules have been, It might us well have been omitted. Another old time favorite, Jake Btafcl return next year aa manager of Bos ton and will doubtless g?t a glad hand from the fans everywhere. Some good ship la bringing another cargo of Italian fleah over here to wres tle Uotch. Better turn It over to UIH Jlokuf first. Nebraska la not much on foot ball this year, only the best in the va'ley, that's 11. DOUBLE BILLJN FOR TODAY Four Teami Will Battle on Gridiron at Benson Eagle Park.

So far this seison tho Ghainrocks have have only dropped one gamo and they expect to finish the ceason in that man ner, so the Excelsior will have to step some to walk away with the sweetmeats today.

A recently organized squad known as the Columblas will Journey down to Papilllon today and endeavor to thrash the plow followers that reside there.

After their severe drubbing last Sunday the Dodge Light Guards threw up the sponge. Now the Diets team ought to reorganise and play the tiuperiora for the cham pionship. Rudle Thener has signed up with the Monmouth Park Reserves for the balance of the season. The Belmonts want a game for next Sunday. Call Webster 2340 and ask for Ueuigo Hagcrman. Several of the Elm wood Parks are on the hospital list and as a consequence they won't play today. The Williams brothers, Harry and Ous, played with tho Omaha combination that played Valley yesterday. Lately the South Omaha Ramblers have been taut forging to the front as a team of championship caliber. Thursday the Belmonts will board a cl.oo-choo car for Danlup, la., whcjre they will mix witli the high echool team. Last Sunday Harry Williams grabbed one of the Shamrocks' forward passes and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. Frank Quigley playtrd center for the "Ail Stars" aga:nst Crelghton last Thurs day. In this position he proved u wlaurd. Looks as if the Superiors are the un diluted champions of the three cities, v.t: Umaiiu, feoutli Omaha and Council bluffs.

The Shamrocks are just aching for an other chance at the Superiors and they are willing to wager money, marbles or chalk that they can trim them. Last Sunday the Shamrocks had a badly crip pled lineup, but regardless of the fact they showed their pluck when they played a tie game. Next Thursday, Thanksgiving day, the Monmouth Parks will run a special train to Valley, Neb., where their teams will clash with the looal pigskin Warriors. Their first team will play the Valley town team and the seaond team will clash with the Valley High school squad. Last year approximately 20 made the trip, but this year their expectations will bo more than fulfilled, as about 800 tickets i.ave already been disposed of. High School Lads Ready for the Big Cross-Country Run The cross-country squad of the high school will put In Its final practice this week for Its annual run with the Council Bluffs team, which will be held as a preliminary stunt to the game between the local high school warriors and the Wen dell Phllilpa High school eleven of Chi cago. Omaha's chances have been greatly strengthened this week by the return of two star runners to the squad. Halleck Rouse, last year's atar quarter mller and relay runner, haa Joined the squad end la sure to show up well. Rouse recently re turned from the wilds of Canada, where ho haa been roughing It, and Is In excel lent condition for running. On account of the monthly attendance eligibility rules. Rouse waa not allowed to go out for foot ball thla year, as he had not been en rolled in echool long enough this semes ter. Charles Robel, who pulled off fourth place In the run last year, haa also Joined the squad, and Is showing up well In the semi-weekly practice runs. Flnley Jen kins and Gilbert Kennedy, both members of last year's team, are also showing up strong In practice and are likely candi dates for the team this year. Lynn Sack ett, captain of the squad, Is one of the steadiest distance runners the school has ever produced. The run will start and end In full view of ths crowd at Ruurke park and will be over the same course as that of last year. The route goes from Rourke park, zlg sags down to the west entrance of River vlow park, and then returns to the park. Tho distance thus covered Is about two and one-half miles. The run will start at 2:3d, so that It will be finished before the foot ball game starts at 3 o'clock. Each school will enter five runners and points will be awarded for the first five men who get places. BILLIARD ENTRY LIST CLOSES ON JANUARY FOUR NEW YORK.

When the Omaha High school eleven and the husky Wendell Phllilpa High school team of Chicago clash at Rourke park Thanksgiving afternoon -tho local warriors will be outweighed fully six pounds to the man. The average weight of the Omaha eleven la 1M pounds and that of Wendell Phillips 110. The lines of the two teams are about evenly matched, although the Windy City lads have some three pounds advantage. Wendell Phllilpa sums up an average of 153 In the back field, whllo the purple and white has but 143 pounds. Derplte tho fact that Omaha la out weighed ten pounds In their back field Coach Burnett will rely on the npcedlnoss of Rector at fullback, Carlson, left half, and Bowman, right half, to overcome this advantage. s This trio Is cupable of pulling off sev eraf baffling trick pluya and forward passes which Burnett has "Ttept up' his sleeve all season In preparation for this game. Omaha will rely largely on the open style of foot bull, and the spectators need not expect a rough and tumble af fair. Cummlngs at quarter and Alberts, left guard, are the stars of'the Windy City team, both having already been picked for the All-Cook County High school eleven for'the lull season. Alberts weighs 112 and la playing his second year on the team. Five of the Wendell Phillips eleven that will play hers Thanksgiving Wore on the team last year, Sherman, left end; Pethy brldge, left tackle; Alberts, left guaid; Keenan, center, and Stern, right half.

GAME IS AROUSING INTEREST From Standpoint of Ganira Won V'nlvrrslt jr Has Not Had 8 access fat Season, bat Games Metier Than Scores Indtrntr. The t'nlverslty of Omah" lasting foot ball game at Hsstlngs on Thanks giving day la arousing a great deal of Interest. It will really be the only game of the season which will give other schools In the Nebraska association a chance to draw a line on the strength of the local eleven. Hastings this year has raptured sec ond place In the race for the champion ship of Nebraska. In meeting thla aggre gation Omaha will have a rhnne to show whether or not It Is plnylng foot ball of university caliber. From the standpoint of games won the Gate City lads have not had a very suc cessful year, but they have been play ing a much better gume than the scores Indicate. They have been handicapped all season, and have had enough discourage ments to cause the average team to dis band. I ' Players Show I n W ell. I Parish, star quarterback, will be bat' of the game. His place Is being taken by Dow, who Is showing mighty good gen eralship and speed In getting orf th plays. Larsen Is taking Dow's position at left half and is hitting the line like a demon. He Is fast on his feet and shows much ability In skirting the ends and tackling, and aa a defensive player la adding a great deal of strength to ths team. If' Omaha wins, or holds Holsts's pro teges to a low score they will be entitled to be looked upon as one of ths best teams In the state, outside of Crelghton and the University of Nebraska. Last year In basket ball Cotner came her claiming the championship, and expected to win by a large score. Omaha upset all dope by winning, and they ballev that unless Hastings plays stellar ball dur ing the entire game that they too are In for a surprise. Liberal Donations For Olympic Games NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-That matters In relation to the American Olympic team fur next year's sports In Htockholm are fast taking shape Is attested by the liberal donstlons to further the world's greatest athletes. Closely following this Is the Information to th effect that th American committee has cabled for reser vations for 100 men In the hotels of Hlorkholm and vicinity. This vast aggregation of the muscle and brawn of the United States shows an Increase In numbers over th great est team ever sent abroad, that of 11MA, by over thirty, as seventy men com prised the u,u ud which corralled the points and th trophies at that time In England. In order to further Increase American athletic Interest It has been almost defi nitely decided upon to have the scenes of the "Iryouts" for positions on the learn In the following places: Harvard Stadium, In Cambridge, for the eastern contestants; Chicago university field for those of the middle west, and riolden Clate park, Kan Francisco, for the can didates of the Puclfio and Pacific north we.it sections. Fencing Rules Are Materially Changed NEW YORK, Nov. K.-Oii of the most radical change In years In fencing rules has been adopted for the coming season, according to the announcement mad by the Amateur Fencers' league of America, which outlined Its plans, scope, additions in membership and championship dute. For the first time In the history of the organisation it haa been voted to fix a limit to the number of points that may be scored In a folia competition. Instead of permitting a bout to go four minutes as heretofore, the match will end as soon as one swordsman has earned four touches. The fencers shall change posi tions on the strip after three louche, or after two minutes In can threo louche have not been mude In that time. Forty -two open tournaments with folia, subers and dueling swords will be con ducted by the leugue In seven different cities this season.

The rport that Wesleyan university majr . sever athletic relations with Hastings , collego Is cauFlng no concern among ths athletlo authorities of the local Insrltu- tlon. In fact, the directors of athletic here have considered taking ths Initiative . In this direction. The attitude assumed by ..esleyan haj prompted th following statement by one ' of the supporters of athletics at Hosting col logs: "Spies were sent here befor th gams by their coach to Interview popl and obtain evidence regarding ths scholastic) standing of th men on th team. ThlJ Is a practice not resorted to In any re spectablo institution in the country. Wes leyan would not consent to officials of experience and th work of some of thoso Ulectea disgusted everybody. For proof of this assertion we refer to any out- ' elder who witnessed th game, and par- tlcularly to the newspaper accounts pub. Ilshad at Lincoln. t "Wesleysn's two touchdowns wer both , nuke, th first th result of a deflected punt on Hastings' thirty-yard line and th second an interrupted pass In the last few minutes of play, Th first would hav been Impoislbl If it had not been for a glaring foul on Marvel of Hastings, with ths field Judge not mors than five' yards away. This foul was so gross that outsiders on the side lines called to ths field Judge for a penalty. At ths end of th third qusrter Hastings had th ball on Wesleysn's one yard line, third down. When the ball was taken to the other end of the field It was given to Wesleysn. W again refer to th newspaper accounts for proof of this. "Hastings outplayed Wesleyan and should have won. They made on touch down and carried th ball twlcs to Wes leysn's one-yard line, wher It was' once unjustly taken away from them. Wes leyan could not hav scored excepting on' ' flukes. "Schllck of Hastings was not In th lineup because Wesleyan Interposed a . technicality to his registration. Johnson, ' right end, was out of the gams on ac- . count of Injuries.
