Tener Proposes
Improvements in
Discipline on Field
NEW YORK, Dec 23. Strict discipline.
on tho baso boll field Is one, of tho things
President John K. Tener of the .National
league will demand of his umpires, oc
cording to his secretary, David Lcroy
XUoves, with whom ho has 'dismissed tho
umpire problem.
Tho only person who can preserve or
dor on tho ball field Is the umpire, PjresN
dent Tener sold, and he added, by way
of emphasis, that In matters of discretion
and Judgment, where the' urn'plre'Ms not
specifically guided by rule, ha should be
supreme.
President Tener's Idea - of What the
Ideal arbiter should be was expressed &a
follows:
"I think on umpire should be concilia
tory, but firm: positive, but polite quick,
but undemonstrative; strict, but reason
able,"
Regarding the disciplining of players,
the new president said ho was opposed
to tho practice employed for meting out
punishment to players for offenses com.
niltted on the field.
Ho sold:
"One of tho cardinal principles of Jus
tlce Is that every man should hare an
opportunity to bo heard, to presort hl
side of tho case. If a player is gumy
of tho charges submitted by tho umpire
and has no- reasonable defense tho ends
of iustlce and tho morals of discipline
can be served Just ns well by suspending
the player thrco or four days after tho
violation has occurred and all tho evi
dence received and Investigated as by
an Immediate suspension following the
rnnrt of tho arbitrator.
"To my mind tho club owner Is really
the one who suffers most by a .players.
suspension. The player's absence weak
ens tho team and In tho end tho club
owner Is tho real sufferer.
"There Is no reason why such coses
should not bo considered In the most
lenient attltudo possible and by all means
obtain the. tctrln-th ,caW frpn..bpth.
ides .before, the player Is punished by
sugpeiiiiuii.

-
South Omaha High school opened - tho
basket ball season by winning tho last
game with the Alumni toam by a score
of S3 to 33. In spite of the fact that the
Alumni team was composed of the
greatest basket ball warriors In tho
athletlo history of tho high school, and
that, the locals were composed almost en
tirely of lust years secuud team players.
South Omaha showed some of Its former
motnl by holding tho Mcnofoo-Flttlo com-
btno down throughout tho entlro game,
and In tho last half winning by a margin
of two points.
The Alumni started out with a rush
and had scored three points before South
Omaha appeared to know that the game
was In prepress. Ilowovcr, tho locals
soon woke up and slowly but surely
piled up the score and the first half
ended with the Alumni four points ahead,
the -.orlng standing, IS to 2t
Tha socond half opened with tho
Alumni somewhat winded and South
Omaha playing a steady game. Shirley
Menefeo made a desperate attempt to
win the game In the second half, but was
able to throw only one basket undor the
vigilant guarding of Bryan Nixon, the
left guard of South Omaha. Tho Alumni
team mado but eight' points In the second
half while South"Omaha scored fourteen
points. The game ended with South
Omaha In the lead with two points, the
final score being, SS to SI
The victory was wholly unexpected by
the crowd present and It Is predicted by
many that South Omaha will stand a
good chance for the stato, championship
this year. Foley (Louis), left forward
for South Omaha, scored the most points,
making eighteen of tho thirty-five points
for South Omaha. Frank Foley scored
twelve of the thirty-three points for the
Alumni. The lineups are as follows

Jack Meyers Fails

Artist as Planned
Jack. Meyers,, an. Omaha wrestling
protege, guaranteed to throw " George
Cotsonaros, who asserts boIs the Greek
middle .weight champion of wrestlers,
twice In one hour last night at the Krug

and failed to throw the Greek even one
time. The two put up a scrappy match.
Wut Meyers was working under too many
difficulties to succeed. Both are willing
to be matched In a finish bout In the
near future and Charlie Franke says per
haps it may be done if the wrestling fans
of Omaha will display a Uttlo enthusiasm.
The preliminary matches wore fairly
exciting. Jim Hunt of Benson, threw A)
Peterson of Red Oak, la., in six minutes
and twelve seconds and twelve minutes
and eighteen seconds. Willie Meyer, Jack
Meyer's younger brother, threw Young
Roller of Lander, ,Wyo., twice in sue-J
cession. The first fall came in nineteen
minutes and flfty-etglit seconds via a
head lock and the second came in eight
minutes and forty-nlno seconds with
scissors on the head.
Pete Hackenschmldt of Denmark, fell a
prey to the superior skill and strength
of ono Paul Watslg, formerly a strong
man ot Germany, but now an exponent
of the wrestling science In Benson. Wat
slg threw "Hack" in twenty-three min
utes' and thirty seconds with a body hold
on the first try and then heaved hlra
