THE (MATT A SUNDAY BEE: JUNE , 1013. There is Nothing Like Paying y JUDGMENTS HORACE FOOEU "former owner" of the Philadelphia Nationals, wo are told, 1b urging on con gress to a vigorous Investigation of the so-called base ball trust, which Hod avers pinched him out of the business. ' Now, no one doubts that Fogel was maltreated to some extent, for he got mixed up In business with the Hon orable Murphy of Chicago. Neither does any friend of the crime deny that the serpent, syndicate ball, Is feeling its Bubtlo way into the come, and ought to be stamped out now before It Is too late. But we Imagine many may be found who will go lightly on believing In the es teemed Mr. Fogel's dependability to make the fight that should be made If the cir cumstances are as he pictures them. This is based simply on the fact that, though Fogel made all sorts of promises and threats about what ha would do in the line of exposing Murphy, when the tlmo for the exposition came Fogel quietly diverted himself of what connection he had with the game and stepped down and out. He left himself, as It were, holding the sack. Now comes Mr. Fogel averring: "I can show the committee (In congress) enough evidenco that organized base ball today is a trust to convince them of the necessity for an Investigation." If so, he ought to do It and stop short of noth ing needed to make the case. We are not prepared to say that organized base ball constitutes a trust, but we ' do be live, with a good many other friends of the game, that there is a community of Interest at work, which Is a bad thing for the game and benefits a few selfish Individuals, those, for Instance-, who seem to have a common proprietorship lp a Chicago, 'a Philadelphia, and a Louisville team. And this ought to bo exposed, whether by congress or not. Is anbther matter. The week saw the last ot the most unique character base ball ever knew Chris Von Der Ahe, once "der poss man ager" of the famous old, St Louts Browns. The team made him rich, his generosity made him poor and ComUkey and .others saw him through to the ninth inning. Little can bo said of 'old Chris and his eccentricities that has not been said many times, for he has been the most written J about man in the history of the game, perhaps. He was a man of largo business Instincts, so far as getting was con cerned, but not as to keeping. He was generous to a fault, his crowning fault, in fact, and withall he was a cheery, likeable fellow. He with Comlskey's aid put St. Louis on the base ball map, and it has never quite occupied the same place ilnce the star of his ascendency waned. Peace to his ashes. If we were In Manager Arbogast's place we would practice up on the art of taking pitchers out of the box when it Is per fectly apparent they have nothing. Some fine work in this important department of a manager's duty Friday would easily have saved a crushing defeat. Robinson was left In until four runs were made off him, 'then Peters sent to his relief. Peters showed In the first three balls he pitched he was not there. Tet he was not pulled till five runs were made off him. Then the game was gone and Qlav enlch, who pitched gilt-edged ball, substi tuted. With a regiment of young huskies rusting for want of work, why take chances on any pitcher at such a timet Chance, McOraw, Connie Mack always have been strong for jerking the slab . mau the minute the white sign appeared. They are safe leaders to follow. Up to this writing Hal Chase has not reported for duty to the White Sox, which suggests the exact reason why he was swapped for Borton and Zelder, aside from the faot that Intrinsically Borton and Zelder are worth more than he. The New York World gives the Inside of a dispute Chance and Chase had in Ber muda when Chance informed Chase, who started In to do as he pleased as he al ways bad done that he was not better than any other player and would observe the rules or go. Stars can't stand that sort ol! talk and that is one reason why lome stars hinder more than help. Washington Is again disappointing the high hopes it aroused. Its pitchers must be in a bad way when Griffith picks up such has-beens as Nick Altrock and Mul lln to put In. Johnson seems to be the only slabman able to win constantly. The team ought to be able to regain some of its lost ground It Its pitchers come back. But It looks more and more like another Athletio year. Omaha is still up there fighting for the flag and, we think, will keep it up to the last It did handsomely In winning four of the six gamea played on Its last tour abroad, although up to date. It has drop ped three of the four played on this long speed at home. Its defeats have been due chiefly to weakness In the box. But To predict marked Improvement there. Columbus la wishing, as "well it may, that It never let go of Bunk Cosgalton and Western league fans are wondering Thy It erer did. Thorns son continue la k tha tans Carorit. WU, why not?

It ic beyond conception why the base ball bugs won't turn out to seo a cou pie of nifty class "A" teams play. Only about four hundred fans and fanettes decorated Rourke park last Sunday when the Alamltos and the Storz Triumphs clashed. When the All Nations were here the first crowd that greeted thorn aggregated around the 2,800 mark and their next offense netted them a con gregation of 3,300 that contributed many nicks to help fill their lunch baskets. The local amateur teams can deliver the goods and thoy have already amply demonstrated that fact to the satisfac tion of all concerned. There Is always an Incentive of some description to make them spill out the best they have got . Annie Acroai the Hlver.

Manager Mullen has also got a dark horse from Kansas City which he might spring on the Storz Triumphs. Nolan Willing to Let Ritchie Meet Paokey MoFarland NEW YORK, June 7. Bill Nolan, mana ger of Willie Ritchie, says that he's more than willing to let WIIUo meet Packey McFarland. Says Nolan:" "Ritchie will agree to let McFarland come In at 1S3 pounds ringside, a figure never before al lowed by a champion to a contender. But we want to show that wo are fair and that we can beat him. "Packey claims that he taught Willie all the fine points of the game during their two months' association, Ritchie always has felt that he Is Packey's mas tcr. He wants to prove it to Packey, who never taught him anything." Nolan is a little, off when he says no champion ever allowed a contender to come In at 13S pounds ringside. Frank Erne did better than that; he let Joe Gans come In at 135 pounds at 10 o'clock In the morning. Kid Lavlgne, American champion, fought Dick Burge of England, letting him come in'at a weight over 1(0 pounds, and that was a genuine fight for thi world's lightweight championship so far as Lavlgne was concerned. Laylgne was a 133-pound lightweight. Burge was to have made weight, but when Lavlgne arrived in England refused to consider anything less than 140 pounds and finally did not weigh In at all. The club offered to let the match gc on without billing It as a world's championship, as a matter of fair play to Lavlgne, who would not in that case lose his right to be called lightweight champion of America. La vlgne refused this and Insisted that the match should be for the world's cham pionship, Burge being the recognized champion of England After beating Erne, Gans risked his title noveral times', allbwlng his opponent to weigh more than 133 ppunds, and even fought Joe Wolcott, welter champion, at US pounds. Only three champions have insisted upon the 123-pound ringside mark. Nelson, Wolgost and Rltphle. As McFarland has announced his wlll Ingnens to meet Ritchie at any time at ) IS pounds, or at 133 weighing In four hours before ring time, nothing Is left but for tho two to get together and put their flits to paper.

IiAWItENCIC. LINCOLN, Juno 7.-(Speclal.)-Although the regular term for the University of Nebraska closes next week, athletics at the Cornhuskor Institution will contlnuo to receive some attention until the Amur. lean Olymplo games aro held in Chicago tne last of tho month and tho first of July. Several ox-Cornhuskor stars and noun!. bly a couple of this year's team will par ticipate In the games under the colors of tho university. Assistant Coach Reed, who has few equals In the west in the sprints, will enter the 330 nnd the 440-yard dashes and mar poHslbly run In the 100- yard dash. Louie Anderson, tho only Ne braska representative In the Olympics at Stockholm last year, will go In for the distance runs and as he has been train ing for the last few months, he Is al ready In excellent shape. "Cub" Myers, who is perhaps the best all-around athlete In the school, will un doubtedly go to Chicago for the games. Myers will enter the "all-around" com petition class and his ability with tho weights and Jumps would make , him a dangerous competitor for any man. These three for certain will take part in the games and It Is more than likely that Ganz, the star lightweight wrestler of tho university, will alio enter. The wrestling events are scheduled first on the program. Before the tlmo limit ex pires it Is likely that the Cornhueker list will be enlarged. Spring Foot Ball Contests. Stlehm wound up In the spring foot ball practice this week with a tournament be tween the members of tho squad for a series of prizes offered by an uthletlc goods firm. Warren" Howard, tho old Omaha High school star, maintained his reputation as the best punter In tho university by tak ing first in this event Howard's bos; punt went 173 feet 4 inches, or a little better than fifty-five yards. Appol fol lowed Icose behind him with a boot of 168 feet. In the drop kick, Hugg, a freshman from the Lincoln High school, and Howard tied, and In the toss off Hugg won. Bob Thompson, also another star of the Omaha High school, won the foot ball throw with a heave of 1GJ feet and six inches. Rutherford, the Bcatrlco High school player, of whom so much Is ex pected next fall, took third In the punt and second In the throw. Myers, Mapes and Hawkins tied for -third In the drop kick. The old system of grading was used In each of the kicks and In the drop trials were allowed from three poaltlans. Most of tho foot ball playsni wIB spend the summer on tha fans, working uy a little brawn. Pordy will ga to Ms home In Beatrice. Mapes will g to ICarfoIk for the summer.

Sheridan, Although Wealthy, Sticks to His Umpiring Job NEW YORK, June 7. The call ot the game Is too strong for Jack Sheridan, the dean ot ol) umpires. Usually when a fellow has loaded up his sock for a rainy day and employed umpiring as tho means for filling It, he's glad to step down and out of the game forever. Every base ball fan knows that grey hairs go with the arbiter's Job, and they aro no pretty things to havo around. But Bhcrldan Is an exception to the usual run of umpires. He likes the game and the excitement that la af forded one who Is there to call the good nnd the bad ones. Sheridan has been an umpire for something like twenty-five years. There will be very few to survive such a pe riod. Sheridan's eye Is as good as ever, and every player knows that It was seldom that the old official was ever In vited to visit an oculist. Sheridan pulled very few bad ones. The worst mistake he ever made was when he was offered tho franchise of the Washington club for 312,000 by his friend Ban Johnson and re fused It. Many a deep sigh he has drawn since the value of the club went up to Somewhere around the 200,000 mark. But the best make mistakes, and as a futurist Jack proved himself a fine umpire. Sheridan Is Independently wealthy. Be sides putting off coupons he draws a yearly salary from, tho American league which was wished on him when he with, drew from base ball, ne gets no more when he takes up the indicator, once In a while, to fill In. He goes back to work because he likes tha Job. And the Players are glad when he la around. The worst they ever get is an even break. It's pretty nice to have praises sung when age creeps up, and any nice thing that's said about Jack Sheridan is never out of place. He was a capa ble, honest, clear-eyed official at all times and the base ball world Is the loser when ho's out of it Sheridan makes his home on tho coast, but is now on his way to pay a visit to his old friend. Ban Johnson. In Chi cago. CutleKlaa for Comlskvy. Bob Whitney, captain of the Peansrl. yanla State university team, wtn report to the Chicago White Sox for a trial shortly.

NEW YORK, Juno 7 It Is rather v sad state of affairs when curiosity be comes so lutniise that a person will risk serious Injury to satisfy It Not long slnco several persons were blinded tem porarily and their sight materially dam aged through being unable to resist th temptation to Bee what was Inside of n golf ball. They pried open tho harij cover, and on one occasion the tightly wound rubber hands gave nn cxplosivn effeot which blinded one man, whllo In another Instance the liquid Inside squirted Into tho eyes of tho curious man nnd wrought hnvoo with his sight. Despite this fact, two or throo other Instance enme to light recently, one' of where i ourlous boy put a ball Into a vlco wl dire results. The rcpotltlon of this fool: hardiness caused the tTnlted States Oot association to issue a warning to th several hundred clubs In Its membershlt ngnlnst such practices. The latest nnd psrhaps the most astorf Ishlng story comes from Wilmington, Del., where two youngsters manaffed to get a ball open without Its exploding and drank the liquid Inside "to see how ft tasted." In both Instances tho victim were rushed to a hospital and their lives saved through the prompt uso of a stom ach pump. It Is said that symptoms of arsenic poisoning wore found In each case. Scientific examination, A scientific examination, of a number of English golf balls of well known, make show that they will not cause serious ao cldenta. In the case of the English balls the liquid In tho core might cause some slight Inflammation if It entered the eye. The results of tho .examination, which was made by Mr. E. F. Harrison. th analyst, are as follows: 1. A favorite half-crown ball. In the center was a small, rubber hag contain Ing hulf an ounce of a thick cream which consisted principally of soup. The amount of alkali present was not much greater than Is found In a rather alkaline eoap. S.
