ClKClNNATl. O.. Jan. 7. PretldMit
(John K. Tner of the KiUohtl leRtie
fcfttf a rncttlns ot the directors of Ms
organization today, Uaued a statement
In "thlch he prophenled that public opin
ion "would be on the side of organized
bas( ball In case a war Is waged by
the federal lmgue.
Pointing ouf that the FederM league at
tacks upon organised base ball have been
confined to two points, one that the re
serve clause was Invalid, and the other
that the parties to the national agree
ment are members of a trust, Presldeat
Tener voiced his opinion that neither
charge could be considered seriously. The
'State follows:
'Base ball today owes Its populartly
and very existence to organization. Such
organization alone has developed and will
preserve and perpetuate the game to and
for the American people. Nevertheless
organized base" ball Is being attacked by
.those, and those only who desire to
wap commercial benefits thereby.
Better OrnnnUed Than Errr.
Today, however, finds base ball more
thoroughly organized than ever and tehro
foTt better able to withstand and combat
the attacks. The Federal league does
not base Its attacks upon an allegation
Jthat the public has not been given good,
clean, high class hose ball, or that the
players hav not Wn fairly treated or
paid commensurate salaries, but It Is en
deavoring to Induce players to break
thetr contracts, and seeks to excuse and
justify Its conduct xipon two legal points,
ramely. the alleged Illegality of the re
serve clauso In the players' contracts,
tnd the general statement that organized
'base ball constitutes a trust. I mean by
hle that the Federal league has officially
nounced that It will test the reserve
clause In the courts, and faltng to Jus
tify Ita contention of Illegality It will then
seek to have organized base ball Inves
tigated and dissolved as a trust
"But such a threatened war on organ-
zed base ball, begun by promoters simply
or financial gain and based upon broken
contracts of players, takes no heed or
account ot the sport-loving public or the
real welfare of our national game; and 1
believe the disapproval of such a war
at the bar of publlo opinion will count
far more against this movement and Ita
nromotera than any technical decisions In
the courts, even though such courts
should again upnoia tn. iega.uy anu

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 7.-(SpecIal.)-Thero
Is a strong possibility that Ne
braska and Minnesota will not meet In
foot ball next fall, according to Coach
jumbo 8tlohs,, on his return from the
east. ,
"Mlnsieeota Insists on a one-year con
tract, which places the Cornhuskers
virtually at tho mercy of the Minnesota
athletic board for games. It Is a fore
gone cinch that Minnesota, under exist
ing conditions, will refuse to come to
Lincoln for games while tho one-year
contract prevails. Making It necessary
for the game to bo arranged each win
ter practically compels the Cornhuakers
to go to Minnesota or be left off the
Gopher schedule.
"Williams told me," Stiehm said, "that
Nebraska had ceased to be a practice
game with .the Gophers and gave tho
northerners too hard a tussle to run
chances with away from home. I re
minded him that ho went to Wisconsin
and Chicago to play, and Williams told

many hard games on his schedule. away

Two-Year Contract Downed.
Stiehm requested Williams to enter Into
a two-year contract for games, alternat
ing between Minneapolis and Lincoln.
This request met with a flat refusal from
the Minnesota coach. Stiehm does not
take a one-year contract at all. He
thinks Nebraska Is entitled to somo con
sideration, and while he does not Intend
himself to scttlo tho question of. break
