Itlder on Claim B Machine Mikfj
Class A lllders 1 1 actio and Krr.n
Wins One Sr-onl from
Flcekenstcln and bra Tea.
A ten-mile free-for-all race, the longest
race yet scheduled at the Stadium Speed
way, attracted the must attention In the
list of events at the Speedway yesterday
afternoon. Three of the riders, McNiel,
Graves and Lewis, came home In a bunch
and Inches separated McNiel, the winner,
from Graves and Lewis, who finished In
that order. Pit riders started In the
race and the thrills were plentiful as they
passed each other time and again In ef
forts to establish a lead.
Charley Suldeth went clear to the top
of the track on one occasion to pass his
competitors and a shudder went through
the, crowd as It seemed as if he would
surely hit the perpendicular wall jimt as
he did on the opening day here and suf
fered slight Injuries when the fence, broke
on lilm. Hut Suddeth clung to the track
although his wheel was but a scant two
or three inches from the top.
J. A. McNiel won the race, but he had
his troubles. Graves and Lewis were
close behind and they mashed him hard.
Lewis It Ides Hard.
Henry Lewis was the surprise of tho
day as ha was a week aKo. Bntercd
with the fast class A riders he put up
a nifty battle in every race. In one of
tho match races ha came home second
tread ins dangerously close to McNiel and
finished ahead of both Graves and Fleck
cnstMn. Roy Milnor Topped two of the French
-Polnt traces, iharles fluddetlW won the
other.
After the free-for-all McNiel engaged In
a tlmo trial against thrf two-mil record.
He traveled the distance in 1:10.2. His
former record was 1.12. McNlcl's record,
while faster than the official world's rec
ord, will not be recognised as but cmo
watch snapped him.
McMtllea Makes Flights.
Aviator Ralph E. McMillcn made two
flights, one before, and one after the rac
ing events. McMillcn flew over the city
on both occasions and during the early
flight, it Is said, he took snapshots of the
city with a. camera. -

Shearer in Cue Game
Fails to Get a Shot
Victor Fairish of the publicity bureau
put over a hot Joke on Dr. AV. L. Shearer
yesterday In the billiard rooms of the
Commercial club. He It known that the
doctor Is some pool player; he has most
of the other players the.ro badly out
classed. Some of them "framed up-' with Parrish
to bring Ora Morningatar, the profes
sional player, around to the rooms while
Or. Shearer was there. The latter was
not Informed of the visitor's real Identity.
A three-cue pool game was arranged with
Parrlsh to play first and Morningstar
second, ahead of the doctor.
After making a good run, Farrish sat
down and let the star take a hand. Of
course. Morningstar ran'out and won the
game, without even letting Ir. Shearer
start. The stunt was pulled off three
times before the doctor got suspicious.
Then the, bunch explained who the shark
really was, and the doctor admitted that
the Laugh was certainly all on hlra.
Creighton Hopeful
Since Last Victory
Crelghton's victory over Wesleyan
Saturday gives a rosier color to its
chances for the season. Without tha aid
of Herr Tlats , and Kteffan, Creighton
romped away from the Methodists.
St. Thomas of St. Paul, Minn., is to be
the next victim, and It will be Crelgh
ton's first Invasion of foreign lands. St
Thomas is light, but very fast, this year.
It beat North Dakota State Saturday
7- to 6, and Minnesota only beat the la
kotans 28 to 6, an equal score, to that
which they ran up on South Dakota, who
Played Nebraska to a tie.
Notre Dame beat South Dakota Satur
day S3 to 0, and w ill play the Haskell
Indians tiext Saturday. This game should
furnish a basis of comparing the strength
of South Dakota and Creighton.
Marquette, whom Creighton meets
two weeks hence, lost to Rlpon, 13 to 0,
Saturday.

HISTORY IN MAKING HERE
Base Ball Association Holds Its Most
Important Meeting Here.
MAY DECIDE ISSUE OF FEDERALS
Demands that Will Re Made by Bate.
Ball Fraternity 1YI1I Be Consid
ered by Magnates at Big;
Meeting.
With one or more representatives from
every minor league In the United States
and Canada present, and with questions
arising whh h tmieh upon tho very life of
organized Imso ball, the coming meeting
of the National Association of Profes
sional Baae Ball leagues, Novemier 10
to 32. will easily bo the Most important
In the history of the game.
That the meeting Is considered of great
Importance la shown by the notifications
which have been received by the bureau
of publicity of attendance at this con
vention. Presidents of leagued, with their
directors, have signified their Intention of
coming.
Two main factors contribute to the In
terest In this meeting. One, and the more
Important, Is the Federal league, with Us
activities of the year just closed. The
other Is the demands that will be made
by the baae ball fraternity, which has
just strengthened its lease of life by the
election of David Fults as president for
a term of Uiree years. The retention of
Fults as president means a continuance
of the policy which has maintained for
two years, and which has caused the
owners of minor league teams, especially,
more or less grief. In the main, more.
Federal Lratip Bla" Issste.
Just what will become of the outlaw
league, the Federals, so far an organised
base ball Is concerned, will likely bo de
cided at this meeting. Though not gen
erally admitted, it is known that over
tures have come from the Federals, seek
ing some sort of recognition from tho or
ganized men. And though not admitted,
which would weaken their stand, the or
ganlzed men have . been giving more or
less consideration to the activities of tho
outlaws.
Two propositions have been broached,
either of which would seal the doom of
tho Federals. One suggests the absorp
tion of the clubs by tne International
league, while tho other proposes to break
the backbone of tho Federal organization
by permitting tne National league to sell
two of Its most Important franchises to
men who are now ownera of clubs In the
'Federal league. Should such a suggestion
meot with approval, Chicago and Brook
lyn of the National league would be the
teams used as mediums.
This rather daring scheme is built
around Charley Weeghniun, owner of the
Chicago Federals. Woeghman Is the man
who is more responsible for the Federsl
and Its staying ability than any other
man. Weeghman, however, Is liKe all
babe ball men and others he's In the
game for the coin thsre is, and he's not
been successful thla year, though per
haps he has lost less than the other fel
lows, individually. Weetfhman's Chicago
club has done fairly well. In fact, better
than might be expected, comparing It with
the clubs of the America j league when
they easuyed to break the bonds of or
ganized bane ball. But Weeghnwit lias
had other irons in the fire, principally the
Kansas City club of the Feds. Wcegh-
msn, it Is declared, has put good, hard
coin of the realm Into this crowd of
would-be ball toeaera, and he's got a
beautiful stinging, lie is, therefore, more
than willing to recuperate his losses
where he has made them In the base
ball game. Chicago men familiar with
base ball say he would not look with dis
favor upon owning the Chicago Cubs;
they would furnish a mighty smart club
for him to rise with iu the game.
Change la hlra go eded.
To give color to this suggestion, the
Oubs have been floundering around with
out a real owner or a real manager since
Frank Chance quit the organization. The
National leaguers are not at all satisfied
with conditions in Chicago. Charley
Comlskey has been a mighty tough prop
osition to buck for the Nationals, and all
hands would welcome u change, which
would popularize the Nationals and which
would make the going easier for both
major teams of the two big leagues.
Of course, Weeghnian says there !s
nothing to It-that ho wouldn't desert the
Federal league ship for the Hank of Kng
land but st rentier things have happened,'
and It would not be at all surprising to
read the announcement ef Weeghroan's
defection from the Feds.
The activities of the Federal league
have put the owners of base ball teams
in tbe hole this year. Especially the
minors have felt their inroads. HUrhnr
salaries for players have been the result,
all coming out of a threat to Jump. There
Is not a base ball owner In any league
who cannot report from one to half a
dozen seances with their players In which
the player has been the winner.
In fact the players have held the whip
hand and they have made the most of It.
The owners have been the goats and
they are tired of it. Ho look out for
something doing here In November.
Memorable Agreement Probable.
It Is quite probable that an agreement
will be reached in Omaha which will go
down In base ball history. The Omaha
agreement is likely lo le referred to for
years lo come.
The organized men who will gather in
Omaha In November will repiesent some
forty leagues, more than .W basa ball
clubs, who have jurisdiction over more
than S.OOrt ball players. Some Industry,
you may well say. They represent the
expenditure, of millions of dollars annu
ally, so Is It any wonder that they will
combine to protect their Interests anil
in many instances to save their very
lives, financially speaking?
They have lost and lost heavily during
the year; 1915 does not hold out any verv
alluring prospects at the best, so any
thing that will tend to minimize losses
next year will be welcomed.
That will be the main question consid
ered In Omaha.

XKW TOTUv. Oct. r.-The Federal
league will continue Its com so with the
assurance of substantial financial bnckltu;
regardless of what nuiy or may not be
done by organized base ball.
This was the announcement mado to
night by Iieaident Ullmore after an all
dtiy session of the c;uu owners of the
new organization here had adjourned.
"The league circuit remains exactly as
during- tho last season, but If It Is found
desirable to make a change, the executive
committee will attend to that, nnd If
necessary, another goneral meeting will
he convened either here or In somo other
convenient city," Mr. tUlmore added.
There was an apparently well authenti
cated report today that William Fischer,
tho catcher of the Itrooklyn Nationals,
had signed a contract to play with the
Chicago Federals next season, but It
lacked confirmation by any of the Federal
league officials. Hecoud Baseman Cut
shnw. also of the Brooklyn Nationals,
was said to have been negotiating with
the St. Louis Fmlorals, but this could not
be officially confirmed.
Trcsldent Ollmora said that he had re
celved a list of twenty-five major league
players from "Iarry" Nchlafly of the
Buffalo club, all of whom were reported
to be willing to go over to tho new or
ganization. In regard to a proposed transfer of the
Kansas City franchtHO, proposals were
received from prominent men In Cleve
land, Cincinnati, West Philadelphia end
Toronto. Of tuise the Philadelphia prop
osition was looked upon with the most
favor, as Pittsburgh could then be placed
In the western half of the circuit and the
playing schedule arranged to much bettor
advantage with the long Jump to Kansas
City eliminated.
louring tho day the league champion
ship pennant was awnrded to the Indian
apolis club, and President J, K. Krause
of the winning club said he expected to
retain the flag for many seasons to come.
