Thirty days from today and daily re
ports will be coining In from the training
camps and among thain will ba those of
the Kourkes who will be safely settled
for a three weeks' stay In Joplin. Pa
itmirke la busy making arrangements for
the trip and as the days draw nearer to
the time ".hen he will. pack his grip be
becomes more restless.
For the last week he haa been talking
over the situation with Johnny Oonding,
who leaves tomorrow night for Hot
springs, trom whence he will go to the
.Missouri town to Join the Rourkea. And
the conversations he had last week were
lint fruitless, for It was decided that
when the Rourkea break camp on April
12 Johnny will take the Tannlgans for a
week's trip through Oklahoma, meeting
Big teams In that time.
Twenty-five players will report at Jop
lin on March 15. Prom that time until
April 12 the entire bunch will be kept
working for all there ts In them. On the
latter day the survivors of the weeding
process will be divided Into two squads.
The regulars In charge of Manager
Charlie Arbogast and Fa Rourks will at
once jump to Omaha, where tbey will
play the next day with one of the Amer
ican association teams. The Tannlgans
or "scrubs" will be turned over to Johnny
Oonding and will Invade Oklahoma, re
turning home on April IS, the opening date
(or the Western league teams.
sraeaiile Not Klmed.
The towns which the Tannlgans will
Invade have not been positively settled on
yet, and Pa Is waiting for farther de
velopments In the Mid-Continent league
which Is now being organised In that
tats. A meeting is to be held tomorrow
and the league formed. Rourks will than
endeavor to book a few towns la that
league for games with the Tannlgans.
The towns which ha now haa In mind
are Sapulua, Muskogee, Okmulgee, Tulsa
and Wagner. One other town Is needed,
but possibly only five games will be
played.
In addition to playing the six games
several others will be arranged for the
Tannlgans. It Is now the Intention of
sending the Tsnnlgans out of Joplin for
Saturday and Sunday, while making his
stay In Joplin. After playing Saturday
and Sunday the recruits will come back
and work out with the regulars during the
week days. They will be under the charge
of Johnny Oonding while on the road.
By this method Rourke thinks his re
cruits will get lust the kind of practice
they need. Oonding will probably catch
In the games the Tannlgans play and In
this manner the pitchers will get some
valuable workouts.
B.sy Arranglas; Datea,
For the last two weeks Rourke has
been busy lining up dates with clubs for
ths regulsrs while they are at Joplin.
Four games he had scheduled with St
Paul of the American association have
been cancelled owing to the early open
ing date for that league. Pa had arranged
for two games with the Saints at Joplin
on April and 7. Two other games were
scheduled for Saturday and Sunday prior
to the opening day In Omaha with the
Saints. The only big league games Rourke
haa signed up for to date are with the
St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago
White Sox. There Is chance of getting
two games each with the Giants and the
St. Louis Browns and Rourke Is work
ing hard to land them.
Two other games have been arranged
for, but dates not set, with St Joseph
to be played at Joplin and . also two
games with Topeks. On the return home
the Rourkes will play two games with
Lincoln at Lincoln and then return to
Omaha for two games with Lincoln at
Rourke park. There Is a bare possibility
thst there will be two other games
played at home before the opening day.
Pa Rourke said he would know definitely
some day this week. Rourke figures
that by playing as many games as pos
sible while at Joplin and by sending out
the Tannlgans be will bo able to keep
down the expense of the training trip
to a certain extent.

LINCOLN. Neb., Feb. 17.-tSpeclal.)-A
trip extending as far south as Texas
Is the program outlined for Nebraska's
base ball team, following the revival of
Interest In again establishing a base ball
team at the State university. The man
agement. It Is said, is considering an ex
tensive trip for the team during the
Easter holidays when It will not interfere
with school work.
"You may say for me," Stiehm declared
Saturday, "that Nebraska will have a
base ball team despite the summer base
ball rule If I can do anything to bring
It about. I shall leave nothing undone
In order to secure a team."
This Is ths first definite announcement
made regarding the baseball situation at
Nebraska following Its abolition on the
order of the athletlo board about three
years ago. The board decided to do
away with baas ball when the summer
rule was passed which prohibited men
from participating In summer base ball.
Criticises Cosasalttee.
Stiehm was equally as emphatic In bis
criticism of the committee which has the
matter of the revision of ths summer
bass ball rule In hand. The committee
was appointed some months sgo and hss
not as yet even taken Initial steps toward
reporting back to ths conference. The
committee Is composed of Byer of Ames,
Chairman Bvarhart of Washington and
Moorehouse of Drake. Byer Is the only
one who has thus far expressed him
self on ths summer bass ball matter. Byer
favors what Is known as the "home rule."
allowing the -players to participate In
semi-professional games played on the
boms" grounds. This revision la not
at all acceptable to the Cornhuskers, It
being pointed out that It would be im
possible to enforce the rule. That It
would be at least a very difficult If not
Impossible matter to find out the home
address of some of the players Is conceded.
Stiehm will take the matter before the
athletic board at an early data He says
that he has not yet canvassed the situa
tion and does not know what tho senti
ment on the board la In regard to base
bail. Personal expression of opinion baa
been freely made by some members of
the board and It Is a safe bet that a
majority favor tho restoration of the
gam at Nebraska. Stiehm says that he
does not expect serious opposition In the
attempt to revive the game at Nebraska.
Nebraska-Gopher
Break Likely, but
Badgers Taken On
LINCOLN, Feb. 17.-(Speclal.)-Coach
Stiehm says UuU no further steps bava
been taken to complete tho schedule for
the foot ball season of UUS. The Corn
husksrs are waiting for tho conclusion of
negotiations with Minnesota, which are
right now very badly muddled. The man
agement is Insisting that the Gophers
promise to play In Lincoln under a two
year contract while Minnesota does not
care to come to the Cornhuskers camp
for a game.
Recently Stiehm telegraphed tn reply to
an urgent request from the Oopher insti
tution that Nebraska expected a game in
Lincoln. The Gophers deeslred to know
f Nebraska would accept the particular
date set aside by the Minnesota manage
ment for the Nebraska game and Inti
mated that If the date was not satis
factory, the Gophers would not consider
the Cornhuskers further. The message
further conveyed the information that
Minnesota was anxious to complete the
schedule and wanted a definite answer
regarding the acceptance of the date) In
order that another game could be
scheduled providing the Cornhuskers did
not come across.
Although no official Information could
be secured It is quite well established that
Nebraska will play Wisconsin thta season.
It ts rumored that the game will be
played November 2 In Madison. Tho rest
of the schedule remains as first outlined
with the practice games still undecided.

Commy Turns Deaf
Ear to Politics
Comlskey la quoted as saying bs would
not think of running for governor of
Illinois, since In his present capacity as
the owner of the Chicago 'White 80s, to
gether with bis personal following, he
Is enjoying more fame than the gover
norship could give him. At any rate.
Commy shows his good sense by turning
a deaf ear to what seems to have been a
serious appeal by some "downtown" Chi
cago politicians, "friends of mine." If
these men really had serious Intentions
of boosting Comlskey for office. It prob
ably was with selfish Interest, but they
picked out the wrong "fall guy." One
old-time ball player, Governor Tener of
Pennsylvania, haa achlsved tills honor,
and Al 8paldlng. ons of base ball's most
famous lights, came very near to being
elected senator In California, and old Cap
Anson wsa for a term city clerk of Chi
cago, and maybe other base ball lumi
naries have shone In the political firma
ment, but not many. Comlskey, of course,
being a man of hard sense, baa another
reason or two for squelching any such
talk, serious or otherwise.
Clarke's kresra failed.
It has ben said that Fred Clarke of
Pittsburg established a record for out
fielders that haa never been surpassed
when In a game last year, hs had ten
put-outs In the outfield. Dick llarley.
when playing center field for Hprlng
rteld, Mass., made eleven putouts, and
tUagle, when playing for Orand Raplda,
in 1197, chalked up twelve. Both of these
records were, however, beaten by Harry
Bay, the fleet outfielder, when In a game
between Cleveland and lloston American
Bay caught thirteen fly balls.

LINCOLN, Neb. Feb. IT. "I hava
heard nothing about any proposal to put
a Western league olub In Chicago,' said .
President Despaln of tha local Western
league club this noon, "but ths fact that
President O'Neill refuses to talk makes
ths story look more probable. It la
posalbl. that such a scheme ha, been
thought of to keep the proposed outlaw:
organisations out of Ounthafs park oa
the north sld. and to afford a plaos to
transfer any Western league alub which)
falls to make good."

'This Is all rumor and nothing haa'
been done In the matter,' said W. A.
Rourke, president of ths Omaha Western

natlng from Chicago.
There will bs a big shaksup all annas)
for 1911, for there is a fading that tha)

of ths marvels of the American ocupatloa

to tha rapid spread of baa. ball through,

Almost every American has noticed tha
Increasing Interest manifested In that
favorite American sport and th. eorra

Nor Is this enthusiasm for base ball cob..
fined to tb. pupils of th. schools or the
employes of those companies and Institu

and light company and the various bu
reaus of the government, but even tha
muchachos snd house boys take to th.
sport with astonishing readiness and dev.
But baa. ball Is not the only sport by
any means that has advanced In Filipino
favor by leaps and bounds within th.
last few years. Volley ball and basket
ball and tennis have each become great
favorites. It la said that one of th. local
business houses handling sporting good. .
recently received a letter from a Not.
Tork bouse saying that the on. Manila
firm had sold mors volley balls than hadi
been disposed of to all of New York.
This Incident testifies to the amaxtng
rapidity with which the game of trolley
ball haa swept over the archipelago front
one end to the other. Moreover, th. Fill

It Is superfluous to call attentions to
tho great change In the vital statistics '
of the Ubuida that this spread of athletlo
