Big issues will be dealt with by the biggest ' men in base ball. Big progress may be made toward re-establishing the Same upon a sound basis, for, lot us not deceive ourselves into thinking, that as matters now stand, base ball Is on a sound basis, from a local standpoint, we may hope that the annual meeting of the National Association may help to evolve better fortunes for the Western league. There Is talk of reducing us to a six-team circuit again, Topeka and Wichita being dropped. Far be it from yours truly to lift so much as a little finger against dropping these two towns, but may the good Lord preserve us against a six-team affair. Let us hope that before 1915 opens for business, we may not only have eight cities on our circuit, but eight real ones. The places that have made and main tained the Western league deserve larger company. The fortunes of base ball de mand It. In the readjustment hoped for between the major league and the Federal.-, ought to come such an arrangement of territory as would throw, say Minneapolis and St. Paul, or some such cities. Into the West ern league. The matter of classification would then take care of Itself. If the standard of playing was raised, what would the rest matter? Happily, there Is hope of a reconciliation between organ ised and outlaw Interests. Various Vlana are rumored. One . Is and the most plausible that the Feds ars dickering for the Cubs In Chicago and the Bridegrooms In ' Brooklyn, with several amalgamations' In other cities calculated to care for all the Federal own ers satisfactorily, while meeting the de mands of the organized Interests. Yet the meeting of the Feds ' lit ' New- Tork still leaves some doubt as to the success of these plans. ' The Chicago Herald, which has published a Very rational survey of the , situation, in timates that the only real obstacle to the progress of peace at present is Ban Johnson, the eaar of the American league. And the Herald, voicing what no doubt is the sentiment of the vast majority of baso ball men and fans, observes: "As a matter of fact, organized base ball Is be coming or-QAN-lied base ball. It's a case of too much Johnson." -That has been our notion for a long time. Again, quoting the Herald: "In times of peace It's nice to have a base ball csar at a fancy salary to tell the little magnates where to get off. but Ir. time of war It becomes every magnate for himself." We've always been strong for organised base ball, whatever that Is. but when we saw organised base ball arrogating to It serf the right to practice outlaw methods to set the law at naught if it suited Its pur Pose, then we decided that a league that practiced outlaw methods and admitted it was not very much different from the one that practiced It and didn't admit It. The situation made us feeMhat the day of reckoning for so-called "organised" bose ball was not far off. More than this, when we harked back only a few years to the advent of the American leagua mora properly speaking, the Johnson league, the league that big Ban carries In his vest pocket-when we harked back to this and remembered that this league came Into being along this same hlgway of outlawery, w became nil the more certain that it would be only a llttlo while before old Balshaizar would see the ominous handwriting on the wall vlsual- iea oerore his face. And that is what he now. PLATTSMOUTH HERE TODAY Will Play Columbians for Benefit of Sunday Fans.

Now that foot ball Is crowned' the king of outdoor sports the gridiron devotees around this prosperous village should step out and encourage the local pigskin gladi ators by their presence at the locsl con tests. ' All the local contingents are play ing extraordinary foot ball and you will be well repaid If you drop around and give them the once over.

PRINCETON FOOT BALL POTENTIALITY UNKNOWN i Tes. we agree with those who say that a reconciliation is essential to the busi ness and sport sides of the game. We ad- mlt that the federal Invasion has helped to knock gate receipts and demoralise playing. It haa given some young men such a chesty feeling ss to make them Imagine they could play or not as they chose. No young man of much vision has taken that view, but you must re member that some young men do not have much vision. Many men, even men off base bail diamonds, fall to realise when they may be killing the goose that lays the golden egg. And yet when It comes to that, perhaps, the players have bees as keen to this as some of the mag nates. Never has discipline been as poor a In ltlt Wall, the one answer Is peace, but not that "peace-at-any-cost" brand. 'Without peace base ball Is going to have several more lean years; with peace, it ought to have a quirk revival of prosper ity. Let us hope this coming Omaha meeting will bring it about. If It does, It will go down In history as one of the . most momentous conventions baM ball men ever held.

The boys across the muddy represent ing the Bagle Drug Co. will loosen up their wings and fly up th banks of the Missouri until they collide with Wood bine, la., where they will hesitate devour some lunch . and Incidentally entertain the villagers displaying their pigskin ability against the home guards. The Monmouth Parks have a game booked with Dunlap. Ia., for today, which may not materialise owing to financial trouble. If Dunlap bucks up against the Monmouth Parks they will find them a tough proposition. So far the Monmouth Parks have won all their games and their opponents have failed to register a point. They are going after the cham pionship strong this season. A couple of class B mixes will be thrown on the carpet at Fontenelle park. The first course will be served by the Athletic Reservea and the Clifton Hill Merchants and the finisher will be staged by the Monmouth Park Reserves against the Masda Tigers. All four teams class taken Into consideration are real nifty. 8o a pair of fast tangles are expected. The Initial fight at Chris Lyck park this afternoon will be Indulged In by thi SpaiijinKs and Defenders. Only last week the Defenders coupled up so nothing Is known relative to their strength. Since their defeat by the Monmouth Parka, the Spaldlngs have bolstered up their line up considerable and no matter how well hooked up the Defenders are they will have to step soma to cop the grapes. Out on the turf at Chris I-yck ftie Ath letics will shake paws with the Fon tenellea To date the Fontenelles have created quite a sensation In local foot balldom. They have a fast team so the Athletloa will have to step lively In ordnr to push them down the ladder. Although the Athletics have lost one game, which was to Plattsmouth, they don't feel a bit discouraged and according to the dope they will be back In the ring stronger than ever today. This fuss will be Jt rked off at three whistles. Mental Strain in Base Ball Harder Than in Foot Ball NEW TORK, Oct. U.A group of former varsity foot ball players were arguing the Interesting point as to which requires more nerve on the part of participant, foot ball or base ball? One would think there would not be a dis senting voice to the opinion that the gridiron sport requires far more nerve. Tet there were several who strenuously debated thlscontentlon, holding that tbe mental strain was greater upon the man who plays base ball. "('played varsity base ball and varsity foot ball." said one man of tbe group, "and I want 4o tell you that the only time I ever felt ' Inward tremors was when 1 stood at the plate faclsg a pitcher who had a fast ball. There Is something about ths situation or always was to me which made sue . feel my helplessness, made me feel at the: mercy of the pitcher, or rather at tbe mercy ef his possible bad aim. In foot ball you were fighting against one man,' and he had nothing to throw at you." "I feel ths same way." chimed In a former varsity guard. "When I came from 'prep' school I had a reputation as a pltther, but I never tried for the team because I hadn't the nerve to face the shoots of varsity pitchers" The curious thing Is that this man was In his day one of the most daring and resourceful backs playing the gamev HUSKERS FACING HARD GAME Nebraska Gridiron Crew to Back Up Against Ames Aggriet Saturday. PLAT 'KANSAS IN TWO WEEKS After lewa Conflict Comes the Baa flower Eleven, Who Are Silent About What They Expect to Accomplish. BY JAMES E. LAWHKfirB. IJNCOlN, Oct. J4.-Spolal.) Ne braska faces another hard game next Saturday, when the IJuakers meet an honored and ancient foaman In tbe Ames Agglea The second game on the schedule calling for a Missouri Valley conference team, the Nebraska coaching staff looks for a hard battle against the Iowans and will take no chances of being caught nap ping. Btaleness is the big bugaboo In the Ne braska camp for the Ames game and Stlehm may order a complete rest for a day or two In order to give the regulars a let-up from the strenuous work of the last two weeks. According to Information which Reed received, the Ames Agglea have six of last year's regulars In the lineup and soma especially promising first-year men. Brennan, the star quarterback of the Ag gies, is with the team again this year and la bound to cause the Huakers consider able trouble. Ames has only played one test game until today, when It met the Missouri Tigers. The game with Minne sota, In which the Aggies got an ever lasting walloping, waa hardly a fair teat of the Aggies strength, for Williams was handloapped by several of his men being In poor condition. Needs More Help. Ths last week has demonstrated that provision should be made to give Btlehm more assistance. With the biggest game of the season less than a week off. only a handful of the old stars returned to help him point the squad for the Michigan Aggies. Kansas Is pretty confident about that game which Is to be played In Dlncoln. The Jayhawkers are not saying much, but they believe they are going to wipe out the stings of the last four years. The Hansons think the time has come for the worm to turn and they are going to cop the game this fall. Btlehm shifts Llaetap. With the season nearly half over, Stlehm has finally shifted his lineup so It la to his liking. The end positions will fall to Warren Howard and Balls, with Corey and Halllgan tackles; Abbott and Norrls, guards; Cameron, center; Ruther ford end Chamberlain, balfs, and Doyle, f uUback. jctth Potter directing the team from qussTer. The Nebraska athletic board this week decldod to east Its fortunes with Drake In opposing the thirty-hour scholarship conference rule which was adopted last season. The rule provides that any ath lete to be ellg-ble for participation must have successfully carried thirty hours of work during his first year of fifteen hours a semester. All of the Missouri valley schools ex cept Nebraska were strong for the rule last season, but Drake baa found that It la hardly applicable to actual conditions and last week Its representatives voted to take up action attempting to rescind It As It requires a three-fifths vote to pass, the rule will prvbably upi as Drake and Nebraska are both opposed. The ultlmste result will-be to put the old twenty-four -hour rule hack In operation. Manager Reed has announced that try- outs for the cross country squad will be held next Wednesday.. Nebraska's cross-country squad does not appear to he much stronger than usual, although Captain Oeotse'g recovery and Kulla, Mc-U asters, Anderson aad PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 2l.-The .'Xtont strength of the Princeton eleven Is still an uncertain quantity. Tho strongest lineup that the coaches rsn muster has not been sent on tho field at one time snd so thn possibilities of the eleven are still In doubt. So far this season a rent smashing lino play Iihs heen m'sslng from the Tlt?er list, but the other day Drlggs and Freddie Trenkmann hammered away at tho scrub lino until they finally carried the hall over for a touchdown. As soon as the varnlty got the bnll In the scrub territory Tlhbott, who wna at qunrter, started bunging awny nt the line. First Drtgga was sent through and then F. Trenkmann. They varied the place of attack, now at the guards and then off tackle, and both met with about the same success. Drlggs was the one who carried the ball over for the touch down from the three-yard line. Tlhbott and Kbcrstadt alternated at quarter. Tibbott la still a little new, but he seems to have a greater potential than Elicratadt. Tibbott Is alno the more reli able dropklcker.

BRICKLEY GREAT PLAYER Counting His Scoring Points for Har vard, He, Leads All in Foot Ball HESTON GREATEST OF ALL William Ileston, Wha Oaee Played on Mlrhlsmn'a Eleven, Leads All (ollealaa Plaraktanrra la Paints Made. NKW YORK. Oct. 24-The fact that Charley Urlckley, the renowned captain of fnlr Harvard's eleven, may never don thn mnlespins again la a source of keen regret to all followers of the gridiron sport. It has also given rise to a mob ilisation of statistics relating to his ca reer In Harvard foot ball, by those sta tistically Inclined, like our old friend, Oeorge Moreland. An enthusiastic Harvardlte recently announced Hint, up to thle year. Rrlckley alone had scored 281 points for the Crim son. This was his record for three years of p'ay, one with the freshmen and two with the varsity. "Eckeisall of Chicago," continued the demon statistician, "tied Brlckley's record of five field goals In ons game. How ever, Brlckley's point total Is undoubtedly the greatest Individual record ever es tablished upon any eleven east or west" lied It not been for the fact that, some years sgo, -a youth named William Itrston played at the University of Mich igan, the statement of our friend con cerning, the ailing Crimson leader would be quite correct. Unfortunately, however, Heston very much played for Tost, and during his career hung up a record that makes Brlckley's pale Into Inslrntflranua by comparison. l.onka I.Ike Bl Card. Tost Is quoted as saying that In Malt bescli he had another Heston. Frankly,. It Is not believed. Yost, may think he haa another Heston, Just as many a big league manager has thought he had an other Mathewson, Wagner or Cobb. But Heston, like Mathewsons, don't finish Borons the margin of a pastime, twice In a generation. When It oomes to getting results out of Individual effort In the colored figures ov scoring statistics, William , Heston over, shadows not only Brickley, but Thorpe, ' Coy. Halo, Eckersall and every other satellite of the foot hall field that the memory of man can recall. All of these men have hung up remarkable records. But Heston's Is the most remarkable) of all t'me. Wllllam paatlmed for four years at Michigan, and when Ms foot balling days were over passed out with the record of having scored 104 touchdowns for a .oral, under the old ayatem of scoring, of lit points. Bcored by the present method of computation Heston would have ni less than KI4 points to his credit Conceding Brickley to have had a chance to score loo points this season, had not append'cltls stricken him down, the Crim son leader, after four yeara of play, would have found himself running a bad second to ths old Mlchlgander, some 300 points bnrk of his mark, which fact alone makes Heston's figures seem almost unbellev- -able. Tet Willie hung them up, and un der fire ef the keenest sort of competition, too. Here In the east, until late years, w have been woefully Ignorant of what th west was aocompltshtng on the gridiron.- 'Style b Clothes TftAOl MAM lOtBTlttO The same price the world over."
