Murphy was a good riddance. Evn
apart from the question of meeting the

viiid Ul Jl'CUViU4 ICUfiUO VUIIipCil
Uon, It was time for a deal eliminating
v.. """ oo uuu. ew xora xriDune,
(.editorial, not sport page).
AND that Is the sentiment gen
erally expressed throughout the
country on tho man Murphy.
No one cares whether, as he
now says, he owned 5J per cent
of tho Cub stock, or whether, ns
he was reported to have testified a
few years ago .before a Chicago board at
review adjusting taxes, that he owned
only l,50u of Cub stock. The thing that
interests all la that Murphy Is out of
base bait and thnt ho went out against
his own will and wish and because tho
powcrs-that-be In base ball roso to their
might and right and did what should
have been done when Chance was treated
as Evera was ousted Murphy. Let no
ono be deceived Into thinking that Mur
phy didn't want to hang onto the Cubs.
Hark back to his speech a week or two
before his expulsion when lie' said that
putting Murphy out of base ball was an
annual affair and that when the season
opened those who knocked him in the
winter would, as usual, continue, to en
rich him In tho summer and all that In
solence. To President Tener is generally
Blven chief credit for ridding the game
of Murphy, Pan Johnson had a hand in,
It, but Ban lacked tho power which tho
governor of Pennsylvania possessed to
turn the trick. That was very evident.
-i, an mejr say in mpiumacy, we may
regard the Murphy matter as a "closed
incident" and pass on to tho real inter
esta of tho game. If anyone has wept
'over Murphy's being kicked out it has
scaped our attention. CA'ago, most of
all, rejoices. All of which Is another stout
testimonial to the ultimately overruling
' senre of right and decency governing base
-ball.
Tho world tourists have cleaned up
$75,000, therefore made a successful round
of the globe. Hood and hurrah, for the
great American game, tho international
game, the game of all nations and climes,
, tho only sport and pastime that appeals
with equal force and fascination to all
.men alike. Our missionaries have done
' their work well. They havo planted tho
seed of their gamo In Japan, China, Au
stralasia,. Africa, Europe and the isles
of the s'ea( The effect, wilt be stimulat
ing to the best Impulses of these people.
It will go beyond merelythc love of the
sport, it will quicken Ideas and tastes
for better things, for things American
and give the sturdlness and virility of
our country its proper setting in the
,' minds of many who heretofore enter
tained vaguely distorted notions of us.
, The speed and activity of the game, its
vivacity and Aggressiveness will bespeak
the true spirit of American enterprise and
genius In no mean and hazy way, wo
may be sure. The culmination of the
triumph In 'dear old Lunnon, where the
king and 30,000 of his loyal people turned
cut and spent themselves in cheering un
derstanding every play mado Is, we
think, the most significant feature of the
entire tour. It Is really the first tlmo
England has ever manifested such an In
terest, such a fascination for our game.
"Now, for the National league, of Great
Britain and the Imperial league of Ja

tho Provincial league of South Africa,
also of Australia, and a few others. We
ihcll expect them soon.
Rumors of a working agreement bo
tween Federal league and organized
forces, at leost to the extent of avoiding
conflicting playing schedules, are inter
esting, but not surprising. Without pre
tending to express an opinion as to tho
verity of the reports", we think It would
be In Hn6 with the business acumen Un
derlying base ball If these two elements
did bo arrange matters as to avoid sueh
a conflict and thus Increase their 'mutual
nrea of possible revenue. After all, sen

that gives these rumors an additional
aspect of plausibility is that they draw
.Toe Canttlllon and George Tcbeau into the
argument as American association mag
nates agreeing to thja plan. Everybody
knows that sentiment cuta no figure
whatever to these gentlemen, that White

audible. But when It comes to that, if
the Federals manage to weather the

LINCOLN. Neb., Feb. 28.-(Speclal)-Tho
old foot ball Jinx, which regularly puts In
his appearance at Nebraska, made his
visit a little earlier than usual and left
the Cornhusker squad minus the services
of six letter men from tho all-vlctorlous
cloven of 1913. In making his announce
ment for spring foot ball practice, Coach
Stelhm yesterday said he would be minus
the services of six of last year's regulars
Just when it looked like a veteran lineup
for next fall.
Mastln, the star end of last season,
walked Into Stiehm'a office this week and
announced he would not 'bo back for next
season. Mastln has played two seasons
of foot ball and was expected to do valu
able work for the university next fall.
"Bob" Thompson, the. former Omaha high
school player, who starred at center last
fall on the varsity, has also definitely
stated that ho will not como back. Both
Mastln and Thompson have been offered
business situations and say they cannot
afford to remain In school any longer.
Six Letter Men Ont.
Stlehm had expected to lost Captain
Purdy, and Ross, the giant colored guard
tho former because he had completed his
threo years of university athletics and
the latter because he had taken his de
gree. Tho Missouri Valley conference in
disqualifying Towle, the star quarterback
and captain-elect, threw tho fifth man
out. Elwell, substitute halfback, Is the
sixth letter man who will drop out
While Stlehm had a bigger Jobi before
him last season In building a practically
new team, tho loss of so many veterans
in keenly felt by the Cornhusker mentor.
He still has a strong bunch of veterans
left, however, and some of th ht tw.t..
men material the school over had to build
rrom.
Halligan, Howard, Beck, Cameron, Ab
bott, Rutherford and Balls, nil Mtr
last season, will be on hand it is certain,
and all the veterans will also tako part In
me spring practice.
Thero is a big line of freshmen, espe
cially for the spring prac'tlde. Including
Chamberlain, who looks tn lift fllllv m
good as the famous Johnny Bender,
Porter, Norris. Renfro, Westover, Max

The failure of base ball to Interact tli a
students at the state university has In-
uucea Buenm to introduco soccer foot
ball, hoping to interest a
of the undergraduate body. Along with
spring root ball practice, Stlehm will
tako charge of the squad desiring to take
up soccer foot ball. Stlehm expects be
tween 200 and 300 undergraduates to tako

He has ordered new onulnmpnt whinv.

soon as the weather conditions permit
outside sport, tho squad will ba started.
Arslstant Coach Reed'a track squad has
been beset with the usual hard luck in
having Unfavorable weather nrnrllllntii
whlch have prevented outside practice.
i no cornnuskera have practically no
gymnasium facilities and
entirely on tho mercies of the weather
men to get in a little outside practice.
Meet Postponed.
The weather, In fact, has compelled
Reed and Coach Griffith of Droko to post
pone the "Telegraph" meet which they
were staging and wait until It moderates.
Drake captured the first event In tho
Telegraph meet, the high Jump, the
Drake average being about an Inch better
than Nebraska.
Nebraska has an exceedingly difficult
track schedule this season, and Reed is
anxious to get his squad down to work.
The schedule as approved by the ath
letic board this week stands:
March 7 Kansas City Indoor meet at
Kansas City.
March 24 Missouri Athletlo club meet
nt St Louis.
April JS-Drake relay meet at Des

has established quite a record In wrest
ling. The Texans are anxious to break
Into Missouri Valley competition and
havo offered an excellent inducement to
the Cornhuskers. Stlehm said the trip
would undoubtedly ho made, nlthough th
exact date has not yet been determined.

fin regard to tho league talk, which

For tho class "B" teams tho move is
a good one. Mazuma Is not so much ol
an object with them. They are out for
the sport they can derive out of baso
ball, while their older brothers have al
ways got tholr lamps open scouting for

congregated lit the council chamber at

A customary, tho park proposition Is
tho toughest conundrum which local ath
letes have to tussle with. If tho pro

against It, because the "B" children will
utilize Florence and Luxua parka. Now
If there Is one thing the class "A" teams
hato to do, It Is to go out of town, but
they will have to do this or lay off. Of

club, has notified all players to report at
Rourke park for pructlce on the first ap
pearance of favorable, weather, In order
to get all tho work posslblo before tho
opening games with tho Omaha team,
March 21 and 22.
Olson, the brewers' big twirler, has
spent the winter months playing basket
ball, and with a fow days' limbering up
will bq In good shape to face the leaguers
In the opening game.
Del Alderman, the crack routhpaw, will
undoubtedly be used In tho second con
test, and with favorable weather during
a pnrt of tho tlmo between now and the
game. Is expected to get sufficient op
portunities to master his one weakness,
that of control.
Tho signing of "Clink" Clair as manager
of the Grand Island State league team,
leaves the brewers with but one catcher,
Hachten, but Manager Bradford Is con
fident of securing another first class man,
having two likely candidates under con
sideration. On tho Inflold will be Art Dyck, who
gives promise of being the most likely

W. 11. Burgess, one ot the Americans
here who is particularly Interested In
base hall and who nets as umpire at
some of tho games, declares that sports
generally have not mado the same pro
gress In. France as In Borne other coun
tries and ho explains numerous causes.
School Hours Are Lou a.
"Besides tho difficulty ot getting play
ing fields," lie say, '"the hours of tho
French school boy are extraordinarily
long. Tho average pupil Is at his desk
at 8 o'clock In tho morning and is not
released until 0 o'clock, whereas In th
United States generally In the publlo
schools, tho boys leave their desks at
from 2 to 3 o'clock. This Hives them sev
eral hours for relaxation, which Is de
voted to. nail playing or other forma ot
spqrti Tha school boys' holiday hero Is
Thursday Instead of Saturday. Also
when French children want to partici
pate In a base ball game, they are gen
erally required to tell their parens tho
names of the children with whom they
Intend to play. It certain boys are not
ot equal station the parents rcfuso to
allow them to play and this fooling ot
class tends to hinder the development ot
Imso ball among the youth. Nevertheless
thn progress tho last season was exceed
ingly rapid and I look for a greater ad
vancement In popularity the coming
season."
