Inter-Department-
Base Ball at State
University a Winner
LINCOLN, May 9.-(8pecial.)-Coacn
Jumbo Stlehm Inaugurated his Inter-do-
purlfent base ball leaguo season this
week with a series of excellent games.
Tor. teams have been organised in the
different colleges of tho university and"
the opening games have given univer
sity fans assurance of some fast college
bate ball.
The schedule calls for forty-flvo games
the first being played lost Wednesday
and the final on June 1. At least one
game will be played each day until the
end of school and on some dates two
and three games will be played.
Stlehm Is using the department league
to feel out the spirit of the school on
baso ball. If the students patronise
the games liberally and show sufficient
Interest It Is extremely likely Nebraska
will be represented In collegiate base ball
again next year.
Electrical engineers, mechanical engi
neers, civil engineers, freshmen laws,
school of commerce, freshmen academic,
senior laws, agricultural college, teach
ers' college and chemistry department.
Tho election of student mombers for
tho athletic board has been called for
May 11, at the university armory. There
aro eight candidates for the five posi
tions on the board. The board will be
elected under the Australian ballot sys
tem, as has been the custom in the last
five years. The following are candidates
for position on the board: Kenneth C
Fculs. H. H. Goetse, Victor Halllgan,
Earl Hawkins, H. & Reese, "W. B. Sadl-
lek, II. U Temple and O. . ZumwInkoL
Fouta, Halllgan and Hawkins are foot
ball men; Goetse, Reese and Zumwtnkel
aro track men, and Hawkins Is also a
basket ball player. The election of un
dergraduate members Is always one of
the most Important features of unlver-
city athletics and considerable Interest
Is being shown in the outcome.
When Jimmy Kane Goes to Bat
Uy V. S. 11U.NTEII.
By the Oninliii Pitchers.
We do not mind the raucous jeers along
the bleachers' trail,
fWIe do not mind tho critic's roar when
to win the games wo fall,
"We never dread and never fear the little
things like that.
But we must admit we hate to hear,
Jim Kane Is at the bat."
Pa Rourke, following the footstops of
his colleagues In the major leagues,
Is still playing with Injunctions. He Is
now trying to enjoin Mr. Hard Luqk,
but he is having hard luck so doing, as
all of Omaha's constables have been hav
ing hard luck in iheir efforts to catch up
with hard luck.
Now that King Brady Is among those
departed, Johnny Clancy is lookfng for a
member for the quartet. Bill Schlphe,
the classiest singer on the team, having
refused for fear Clancy will sing him out
of the second base job, Johnny Is seri
ously considering the purchase of a talk
ing machine.
Tomorrow is ladles' day.
that no game Is scheduled.
It Is lucky
Chief Johnson, the great Indian twlrler, gr Charley Henog in his work whlp
whose action in jumping to the Federal I ping the Cincinnati team into a winning
league has severely handicapped Mana-1 combination.

BERLIN, May 9. The Imperial German
commltteo of Olympic sports computes
that there are approximately 3,000,000 ath
letes actively training for tne honor of

Olympics of 1916.
"We stake everything on a victory,"
said a member of tho committee. "For
us the Olympic games represent no selfish
object. We will do our best, but to the
mero end of winning, for In triumphs 'we
recognize ch!efly the Impetus to the na
tion that avails itself of the benefits of
athletics and seeks recreation tn healthy
sports, so that the corroding Influences
of modorn llfo may, perhaps, be outweighed.''

It may bo sad now to lose, but just
think how muoh worse it would be If we
were playing double-header.
Another Kane Pome
Oh, Jlmmle, Jtmmle, Jlmmie Kane, why
do you act that way?
Why do you slam the pill so hard when
ever us you piayT
It la quite right against other teams, we
hope you' do it then.
But if you do it against Omaha we'll
nave to fine you ten.
And for a repetition of that five-hit of
fense tho fine will be doubted and the
third time life imprisonment.
It has been arranged to teach the
Giants base ball by moving pictures. The
delayed punch as exhibited by McGraw
and Pat Newman and the similarity of
Merklo and Snodgrass to the Egyptian
sphinx as discovered during the world's
tour will be eliminated by the national
board of censorship.
White Sox fans aro ceasing to wonder
why it is the Sox only get two and three
hits. They now wonder how they made
'em.
W. N. V. writes from Cozad to ask who
holds the world's record for tho broad
Jump. King Cole, Kllllfer. Blandlng,
Kahler and several others are fighting for
that distinction.
Walter Johnson lost three games In a
row. Ty Cobb Is batting under .300. Tho
Hlghlanaders ure In tho first division. A
St. Louis team Is loading a league. All
good alibis for Omaha's position In the
western race.
And In Sioux City they still think Luhr
son spells his name Larson.
You havo heard of frenzied fiction
And of other kinds of diction
And you may doubt each word we say.
But we really heard a magnate,
(Of the brand who never stagnate)
Who admitted that base ball did pay.
Which reminds us that there Is money
In prize fighting also.
If this flock of information continues
wc may soon be assured that the steel
trust is paying dividends and that rail
road stock Is a paying Investment.
Dy Moat Any Athlete.
While I'm slow upon the bases and a,
truck horso In the field.
And I make quite frequent errors, and I
have no base hit yield,
I am surp that I am fastest and would
always bo a winner,
