Ve-ah. Well, there is something to that. Business prlncit pics must apply to base ball, but not sd m to Impair the sport sldo of tho game. And even though men df business acu-fur-n are needed to keep tho game agoing, there Is no reason why these, men, should hot also be good sportsmen, and every reason why they should be. One thing U certain base ball will, as has often been said, never flourish or long survive in tho musty atmosphere of the courts, if It la to continue , the vigorous, virile gamo that it Is, it must be kept in the out-of-doors. This present complication lying it up in legal controversies, while possible necessary to clarify the present must bo soon terminated or base ball la a goner. But base ball. In our Judgment, U not a goner it Is sure to emerge from the present crisis stronger for tho ex perience, only the emerging might as well be hastened. Meanwhile, Mr. Tinker makes another remark even more worthy of attention. He says that base ball Is too big a thing to be run by two men flan Johnson and Garry Herrmann. Hcrr nnnn probably has some voice, but the big noise comes out of the Johnson throat, and for the good of base ball the sooner It is hushed the better. Tinker's lead right. Too much Johnson la hurting the game at every angb and helping it not at all.

Last year he sent 112 runner over the plate, and Mr, Cobb was In the list of 8am' beneficiaries many times. In fact, Mr. Coub would loom no where near a bright as he does on the horizon of greatness but for Samuel's war club. Be that known now.

No man is big enough for It. Human nature 1 not strong enough for it. It is too vain and weak und self seeking to be entrusted wlth such owpr. Johnson ha proven this over and over and over again to the detriment of the very interests 'he rai employed for an indefinite period at an enormous salary to conserve. And, mark you this, before the end really comes, base ball will either bo minus Ban Johnson as its rzar, or Kan will be minus a lot of the arbitrary power he now exercises. Men' pockct l.ook are not filled with sentiment. Some of them have not been so terribly ple thoric of anything lately. That is one reason who we are ao sure of this al ternative in Brother Jolmson's case. The Yankee are lucky to get back Itay Caldwell, who, when he Jumped Chance, wa the winning pitcher of the team.

LINCOLN, Jan. 9. (Special.) Nebras ka's foot ball schedule for 1M5 Is prac tically pomplete. Only the closing game of the year remains to he arranged for, and that undoubtedly will be Iowa, al though negotiations are still Incomplete between the two schools. Notre Dame provides the big drawing card, for the Cornhuakers next season in a game at Lincoln four weeks after the opening of the season Drake for the opening game and Wesleyan are the only other new teams which the Corn huskers will meet during the 191S sea son. Kansas at Lawrence and Ames at Ames provide the two big games for the Huskers away from home. The ArrBtrd ftchedole. Here is the schedule as Btlehm has ar ranged It, given In the order that the games will be played: October 2 Drake at Lincoln. October 9-Ksnsas Aggies at Lincoln. October 1 Washburn at Lincoln. October 2J Notre Dame at Lincoln. October 80 A me at Ames. November Wesleyan at Lincoln. November IS Kansas at Lawrence. November 20 Iowa, probably closing game. The Xebraaka management . ha found difficulty In arranging with Iowa for the annual game with the Hawkeye because of financial, difference In opinion.' Rtlchm made a proposition to the Iowa management after tho game last fall for a straight guarantee, low to name the figure. The Nebraska mentor was will ing that Iowa fix it from 11.600 to $4,000, but the MaWkeyes would not listen to it. ' Tried for Another linmr. Stlehni and Manager Iteed left no stone unturned to secure a sectional game for the coming fall in addition to Notre Dame, but found- It pearly Impossible to secure even a favorable consideration. Tho Wolverines were willing to meet Nebraska in Octnlwr, but stipulated that the game-should be played at Ann Arbor. In addition, Nebraska was offered a guarantee of but II. DM, barely enough to pay cxpennes, when the Cornhuskers must depend on the big names of the season to show any profit. The Michigan manage ment would not listen to a two-year con tract, for a return game In Lincoln in 191ii and although Ktlehm made an offer of a $.ii00 guarantee If the Wolverines would ccinc to Lincoln, his effort proved fruitlufc. . I Drake In Coyotes' Place. Drake takes the place of South Dakota on the schedule, Tte trouble over elig ibility rules with tho northerners resulted In Nebraska closing the door to them. Nebraska signed a two-year contract with Drake, a Missouri Valley conference school, for games to be played In Lin coln. The Katifas Aggies, another Mis souri Valley school, come second and Ne braska offered Washburn, which alwayH haa a strong eleven, the third place on the schedule. Under tho old controct Nebraska goes to Ames next fall and to Lawrence for the annual contest with the Jayhawkers. The Kansas game at Lawrence will he a good money maker. Veleyan, which 1 the collegiate, champion of Nebraska, ha long been seeking a place on the ilusker schedule and Rtlehm accom modated Coach Cllne. If Iowa get the closing game, the Husker schedule hould Ke well balanced. At the meeting of the athletic board next week, Coach Stlehm w ill recommend tho appointment of Augglo Schmidt as freshmen basket ball roach. Fchmldt wa.i h member of the varsity for three years. The recommendation wilt undoubtedly be approved. At the same meeting Etlehm will present the track and foot ball schedules to the athletic board for approval. Will B Given the Place Vacated by Galesburg at Meeting at Water loo Next Wednesday.'' BOCK ISLAND IS TO QUIT, TOO BURLINUTON. Ia., Jan. 9. According to the latest advices from Galesburg, that city has finally given up the ghost so far a Organised Base Ball I concerned the coming season. An attempt of a few en thusiastic fans to revive tho spirit of base hall In that community haa proven a dead failure, and no attempt will bo made, so it is said, to seek a franchivo In the Central association this ceason. This practically ends Galesburg's chance of becoming the eighth city In this circuit and no committee will be sent to Water loo to represent It. On this account It is very probable that Mason City will receive the franchise tlmt it is now fighting for, and the circuit as selected at tho annual meeting at Wat erloo Wednesday undoubtedly will be a follows: Keokuk, Burlington, Musca tine, Waterloo, Marshalltown, Clinton, Cedar Rapids and Mason City. Tho lat ter city Is held In high esteem by tho directors of this league, and now that Galesburg 1 out of the way there will be no doubt about it getting a franchise. The Mason City fans are very enthusi astic and have organized a strong looal association and have appointed a pro gressive committee to attend the annual meeting at Waterloo. That city has Plenty of money back of it, and having already very successfully managed anmi pro. teams tn the past, It will moke a very good addition to this league. Financial Manaaer. There is little doubt that Clinton will retain Its franchise for the coming season and will thus complete the Central asso ciation circuit. The trouble with Clinton has been that while there has been a spirit In favor of base ball there and plenty cf funds in sight, there has been no organ ization or any person who Is willing to manage the financial affair of a club. It has, therefore, been decided that the man selected to manage the team will aUo be given control of the financial af fairs. This means that Bert Hough, last year's manager of Clinton, will again lead that team. 'He Is a first-class finan cial manager, ns well us n good guide for any chili, and lie cuu therefore full fit the dual position very admirably. Tho meeting at Waterloo will te one of the liveliest annuals held In the hlotory of this casoclation. Besides the selection of tho circuit for 1915 officers will le elected and various ' matlert of interest to the association considered. There will also be a meeting of the Sport Writer" association In connection with this annual session, at which officers for the com ing year will he elected and other matter of interest -to the sport writer of this circuit will bo transacted. There is a certainty that President Justice will be re-elected head of the league for the coming year. A canvass of the various cities of the association haa developed only enthusiasm for him. His popularity n the various cities of Ihia association has Increased from year to year, and his prominence In the exe cutive affair of minor base ball In tills country assures Mm; being retained as head of this league. It is likely that Rock IslanJ ie out of Orffiinlxed Baso Bull altogether for the coming seanon. The Central association directors will have nothing to do with that city, and It U the belief among the fans there that President .Tearney of the Three-I league, after folding that city way from any chance of participating in the Central association, will "t it adrift by returning the franchise to Springfield. At all event, according to report from Rock Island, that city will havd nothing to do with the Three-I league. The selection of Msson city to com plete the Central association circuit will have the effect of making this league an all-Iowa organization, as every city In It will be located In this date.

I ONE STONE KILLS TWO BIRDS BOSTON. Mass.. Jan. s.-sPr. Frank Sexton, base hall coach of Harvard, by declaring In favor of "summer" ball for colleges -has put himself In n position where he will be extensively panned by tho who have set notions regarding the status of an amateur an! will be freely praised by the opposing aide, which believes that athletics furnish a whole some occupation for students who must seek some employment between term. It I next to Inflammatory for any one aneoctated with amateur sport to Vc4ce such sentiments as the Crimson roach haa expressed. Everybody haa a clear understanding that base ball I the logical thing for student of sufficient ability to find place on summer team, but it I entirely contrry to the ethic of ama teurism to ndmlt it. What they believe on the quiet and hat they aay openly are two separate and distinct things. Endorse annuer Base Hall. Porno Interesting views nre expressed, by Dr. Sexton In connection with the much discussed problem whether col legians should be allowed to play "sum mer" bw ball. He says: "I am a believer In th endorsement of 'summer' base bull. This I do not be lieve should keep a man off a varsity ball nine if he ipiallfle tn every other rhoiaallc department. Of course, 1 would limit summer base ball to team oulsid of organised leagues). Eligibility for vanity team ahifuld be enjoyed by all bona fide students based on scholarship requirements Hni conduct. I favor the formation of a national Intercollegiate bare ball anKodatlon to he divided Into the New England, middle state and western sections. The New KAgland as sociation nhould he made up of Harvard, Yale, Brown. Dartmouth, William, Holy Cross and other. Tho middle staies sec tion would bo strong with Princeton, Cornell, Pennsylvania, West Point anl others tne weftern section should have such lift Hut lops .a Chicago, Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota. Kach group could play Its schedule with the winners to plav a triangulnr serle for the chum plorshiu. an honor that has always been a matte r of opinion." This ttmuunts to killing two extremuly Iroublerome birds with one atone, for both of Dr. Sexton's suggestion are radical ami likely to rauae a storm of criticism from not only the fanatics on amateurism, but from those who are op posed t anything resembling champion ships being pinned to rollego athletics. Tho rank of the latter Include the fac tion which ha struck out 'against an American Henley, UeeUtned to bring tho crews of the vaiisus colleges and uni versities together i) that the question of supremacy might lie definitely deter mined. Many of the old-tlnnVfl who exert u certain Influence in college athletic have U-en shocked at the idea, a they have also been when well-meaning per sons havn suggested that it would he a good scheme II the foot hall teams could put aalde their differences and arrange schedule that would throw anmn real light on the gridiron championship. Dr. Srslon I 1'nafrald, Dr. Sexton will Incur the wrath of thefce persons, no ePiubt. for Ma presump tion In trying to readjust something that was ull aiTunfciil, oh, mj many year ago, but with the element that like port Just for bpurt's sake be merely stump him self a a man who isn't afraid to ex- I 1 ri some cry uciiaibl opinions. Both I the suggestion tin makes are worthy of careful consideration, though thero is iimll chance either- will receive any at tention at all. Naming a living through the ..summer by playing base ball never did any student any harm, and ought not to make hint Ineligible for participation In college athletics.
