Herzog to Make Golf
Course Out of Farm
Charles Harsog, who manage tha Reek
leaa Bods, has beoome so badly afflicted
with golfltts that he has about decided to
quit raisins; crops en his Maryland farm
and wilt have the farm laid oat as a golf
coarse. ' '
"Never could see the sport la golf until
I got a club In my hand one day," aays
Hersos;. '1 used to think It was child's
play to knock that innocent-looking, pros
trate bail a eoupla of miles.
"Well; just for exercise, I swung- at the
ban with a olub that belonged to a friend
of mine, I missed. That made me vexed.
X swung- againend I swung low.. That
time I nearly knocked the bottom out of
the tea.
"What's the use of gomg further? Golf
rot me hke It doec nearly everybody else.
It looks so, simple that row think it Is a
waste of time hitting the ball until you
try to hit H. And whan you try aad miss,
the ball seems to laugh at you. It seems
to Jeer you tote taking soot bar swipe, and
Che eCtoaer you swipe the efteoer you
want to swipe." . .
Horse grows oat en tils farm,
"Unless somebody builds a golf course
fa my acaghoorhood by next fall I'll quit
aewtn eats and I'll use the oat field for
a srotf course,' said Hsrxog.

STALLINGS FINDS THE JINX

STEALS IT AND LUCK TUBUS
"ITap" Myers, who first baaed for the
Bravee in 1!1S, wsmlerM Inlo the Boa
ton club house In the middle of the IMS
season wearing a necktie that had all tha
colore of the rainbow end eighteen addi
tional ones.
Manager George "Halllnge, the moat su
iperstltlona man In base ball, saw Myers
enter, aaw the nec.kOe. and nearly threw
a fit. Thon he hustled off Into the pres
ence of owner Jim Oaffney.
"I've found the jinx I've found it,"
gasped Stalling.
Tou have?" countered Oaffney,
who was aa much interested In find
ing tha Jinx aa waa Stalling. The
Bravea were In tha throea of a long los
ing atreak and Oaffney was dlgusted
with the team.
"Tea, I've found it; that Hap Myers
Is wearing It But he's worn it for tbe
last time."
"What la It?"
"That necktie of Ms that horrible look
ing sight that he drapes down from hla
oollar," snapped Stalling. "No wonder
wo can't wtn. No wonder we are jlnxed.
That necktie would hoodoo anybody. But
I'll fix It"
Stalling wont back to the olub house.
Myers was there alone. The other play
er already were on the field In uniform.
"Why aren't you In unlformT" howled
stalling at Myers.
"I got a sore arm. boas, and I'd like
to be excused from"
"Ton hop Into your uniform, and If
you ain't in it In five minute I'll bust
your nose," snarled Stalling.
Myers waa In his uniform within four
mlmitna
"Now get out Into the field," was Btai
llnga comment Hardly had Myers left
the clubhouse, when Stalling) nabbed that
necktie, rushed out wltn it and found a
street urchin.
'Iter, kid," said Stalling "Here's a
necktie and a SI bill. Drop the nesktle
into the bag and keep the fa for your
self."
Btalllngs waa back on the field a few
minutes later. Myers came tfp.
'Boas, I'm not trying to soldier honest
ain't," he said, "my wing Is en the
frit. .Hurts like biases."
"Ob, all right" Mid Stalling, strangely
kind and lenient "Totl're through, for
the day. Hap. Hope your arm Is all
right tomorrow."
Myers hiked for the clubhouse. Fif
teen minutes later he rushed back to the
field partly dressed In his street clothes.
"Hey, you, Btalllnga I've been robbed
-robbed I teU you," yelled Myers.
'Quit yelling and tell me what you've
lost," said Mailings, suppressing a
chuckle,
"Lost? Who aald lost?" wailed Myers.
I tell you I have been robbed robbed-'
robbed do you get me?"
"Of what?"
"My necktie the beat necktie I ever
had. There wasn't a necktie) In Bo ton
to equal It I thought more of that
necktie"
"Oh, shut up," commented Btalllnga
"What's the use of yowling ' about a
necktie specially such a necktia Tou're
lucky you weren't pinched wearing it"
"That waa a good necktie," responded
Myers. "A darned good one. If you want
to know,. It eosjt me S3." , ., ,.
, "All right, charge It up to the club
and maki tha price S-'l," responded Btal
llngs. "It's worth that much' to get
rid of It."
The 'Braves 'won the game that day
and Btalllngs sought out Oaffney and
said: "Tbld you so, didn't I?"
Wish to Change
Rules Governing
Davis Cup Match
NEW TORK. Fab 17. A complete re
vision of the rules and regulations gov
ernlne? the international matches for the
Davis cup 1 being attempted by the as
sociations of the various . nations that
have competed for the trophr. It Was
touched upon from the American side at
the recent meeting of the United fc'tatee
National Lawn Tennis association at tba
Waldorf-Astoria. The report of George
Adee, chairman of the committee, was,
however, lost sight of In the other Im
portant bualness of tha session.
England, Franca, Germany, Canada,
Australia, South Africa and Belgium seem
to be the moat Interested In tha proposed
changes. The moat Important from the
American standpoint, as pointed out by
Adee the other day, Is a proposition to
appoint a referee of each aeries of
matches, who must be subject to the ap
proval of the association of the nation
here the matches are played. It Is also
planned to compel the captains to name
the players twenty-four hours before the
matches, without the privilege of change.
R. D. Wrens, president of the associa
tion, and others of tne committee are of
the opinlou that the rule relating to the
leferee allowa tha nation whereon the
matohes are contested to practically dic
tate aa to the choice, and thereby at
some time result In aertoos Injury.
As to naming tha players specifically
for the matchea. it la not regarded as
important ao to do. especially as tha four
men muat be nominated considerably la
advance of playing. It should not be
necessary to make the final choice for
these four until an hour before the con
test. An injury or audden Illness might
make a change desirable, which with a
iwenty-rour-hour rule would be Impos
sible. The members of tha im...
committee are of the oDlnlon tht
good purpose U to be served by such a
change la the rules. The ohanses are
being worked out alowlv it u m .n.
of Davla cup matches In 1914. la the happy
European war ending wlthla
the year.

A number of things laat week combined
to give the waning basket ball season a
setback. In the first place games sched
uled at the Nebraska School for ths Deaf
v a . A vun, .Nt. u4 fM.anaA tK a vni
naslum at that place was being used as J
a dormitory since fire had fleet roved the .
regular sleeping Quarters of the studenta I
These oontests between the Crelrhton
Laws and the Council Bluff Cubs aad the !
Nebraska School for the Deaf agalnat
Swift were postponed until next week.
Then again the playing of the Weo-leyaa-Townsand
gam last night cut out
a regular' scheduled match between the
Council Bluff Cubs and the Squaba Aa
a result of the TownsenoVWesleyan game
the Clark also postponed their contest
with Ballevu college laat evening so
that they could witness tha event
The gamea laat week were of a much
higher order than for aoma time, all I
the quintets being determined to make)
as good a cioaing reoora as poasiDie. 1 nig 1
was especially marked In the Trl-Ctty
olrcult where the games were played 1
with unusual dash and vim.
Of the three loops the teams In the
Church organisation aeem to be etluklng
the beat. Not since the early part of
the season has It been necessary for any I
of thee quintets to postpone a game and ,
despite the low record of some of the ;
teams not a ons has failed to show up
for their regular scheduled gamea. Even .
with tha championship cinched by tha
First Christians the Church league atlll :
continue to be the banner drawing card. '
la the Commercial league the Clearing'
House team has given up and withdrawn.
The Clearing Houss quintet took the
place of the First NaUonal bank five
early In the season, but ths odds In
trying to catch up with the other team
proved so great that they thought It best
to discontinue. However, the league will
be af footed very little aa the Squabs,
another local team has been aubatltuted
to -fill In for tha remainder of the season.
A somewhat similar position holds true
in the Trt-Clty league. The Swifts have
practically disbanded for the season, but
so a aot to disrupt the schedule a team
consisting of the South Omaha Baptist
with a small sprinkling of the former
Swifts continue to be on hand.
That another big basket ball game be
sides the Townsend-Wealeyan contest
Saturday evening will be pulled aft In
Omaha Is more than likely. The New
York Nationals sponsoraa by the New
York Athletlo club are making a trip
west to the fa n m -Paciflo exposition
and have written for a game hare. Man
ager Dtwmmond of the Townaead has
agreed to take them en for next Saturday
should that data prove satisfactory to
mem. 1 ne nw 1 or a nationals are
made up of former Yale, Harvard and
other eastern University crack and are
claimed to be the peer of the fast Illinois
Athletlo team that performed here sev
eral weeka back. The New York Na
tionals play agalnat Weeleyan university
Monday evening.
Basket Ball Notes.
Two gamea each of SO minutes duration
will be played between the Council
Bluffs "Y" and Bellevue College FTldnv
evening at Council Bluffs to make up for
a postponed match early in the season.
Because of the bad weather the Cnl
yorstty of Omaha Reserves postponed
their baaket ball game for ' Thursday
evening agalnat PapTllion.
It I expected that the Nebraska Sohool
for the Jeaf will have their dormitories
fixed up bv Tuesday so that the gymna

evening ,
The First Christian will play Cbtner
college some time the middle part of thla

For the third time In as many week

STATE TURKEY AT LINCOLN
Bowlers of Capital City Will Have
Competition There During

A. B- C. SCHEDULE NOW READY
Along with the Installation of eight new
alleys In Lincoln, comes tho announce
ment from the Capital City bowlers thera
selve that they wlU stag a state tourn
ament there during April, the exaot date
depending on the completion of the hew
place.
The bowling game recently took root
in Lincoln when the Young Men' Chris
tian association put In four alley, and
it growth throughout this season ha
been auch that more alloya were a neces
sity. The bowler- m this city have been
loyal in their support of bowling In
other placea, and now expect to take a
more active part by holding the state
meet on their new drives.
Although rather late In the season, tho
poaalbllltle of holding a successful atate
tournament are better now than ever be
fore. Several smaller Nebraska towns
have recently come to the front in bowl
ing and are anxloua to compete with
outsiders on other runways.
Fremont. Grand Island, Friend. Pender
Schuyler, Kearney. North Platte '
eral other state towns now have alleys
and the ten-pin game Is flourishing on
them. '
LlneoW -would probably enter v twenty
teams, aad Omaha at least ten. With
ten or fifteen other towns entering one
elnM'T aCn' f,fty-tm entry
could be made up. which would bo a large
entry for a state meet.

It seems that misfortune entangles It

players immediately after they are sold

' they seem to lose their playing effective

Marty 0Toola wa. a wonderful pitcher
while with St. Paul. He had great con
trol, a marvelous "apltter" and a
"noodle." lie was sold to the Pirates at
a reported price of 122,500, and from that
moment on he was "through" as a
pitcher.
Lefty Russell was a wonderful minor
league pitcher. Connie Mack bought him
for 112,000 and Russell did not pitch a
good game all the time he was with the
AthleUca
Rube Marquard waa one of the greatest
pitchers that ever labored In the minora
The Glante bought him for I11.CO0. He en
tered the majors and pitched like a busher
for a while. If McGraw hadn't been won
derfully patient with him. Marquard
would have been aent back.

shown himself to be more than a medi

able to hit. His fielding and throwing
are noth'ng out of the ordinary.
Joe Tinker seemed to be In the prime
of hi career as a ball player at the end
of the 1913 season. Garry Herrmann old

FOOT BALL AHLD COLUMBIA
One of Three Pioneers in Establish
ment of Game a a College
Sport.
STARTED SYSTEM OF EULES
NEW TORK, March C-The effort, of
the cnllrEians at Columbia university to
restore Intercollegiate foot ball as one of
the university sports will be watched
with interest and frlendlinees by many
old foot ball men throughout the United
Slate, for Columbia was one of the three
pioneer In the establishment of foot ball
as a college sport and later wa. one of
the four college, which together .tarted
the present Intercollegiate system of play.
Columbia waged It. first game of In
tercollegiate foot ball November 12, WTO.
at New Brunswick with Rutgers. This
was the very dawn of foot ball history
In this country. Neither Harvard nor
Yale had entered the sport at that time.
In England the first Cambridge-Oxford
game was .till two years In the future.
Only three gamea of an Intercollegiate
character had been played anywhere,
and these had been waged between
Princeton and Rutgera, two In the fall
of 1S69 and the third Just two days prior
to the Columbla-Rutgera puna
Played with Yale.
In 1871 no Intercollegiate foot ball games
were played, but in 1872, on November
16. Columbia had the honor of Introducing
to history ln its first foot ball game Tale
university. A glance, over the players
who participated in that contest will re
veal some very active and very successful
citizens of New Tork City and elsewhere.
Here Is the 'line-up," using a term In

having refcreed the first Harvard-Tale

the Rev. John P. Peters, rector of St.

Drafted First Rnlea.
In the following year, 1876, Columbia
participated with Harvard, Princeton and
Yale In making the original draft of the
rules which launched the present Inter
colleglato game and founded the old
American Intercollegiate Foot Ball as
sociation. Columbia', repreaentativea In
that convention were E. W. Price and C.
de R. Brower.
Even ln that day Columbia displayed
a fltfulnesa in ita foot ball activltiea, for
Ita delegates did not again attend the
annual convention of the foot ball asso
ciation until 1S80 when J. H. Btearns and
W. H. Eldridge, B. P. Clark and W. F.
Morgan appeared. Two year, later Co
lumbia again defaulted and thla time permanently,-
although the association ex
isted for many year, afterward.
During all these year., however, Co
lumbia, had team, afield, always fair in
power and sometime, formidable. It was
under' the magical touch, however, of
George Foster Sanford of Tale, aa coach,
fifteen years ago, that Columbia flaahed
out a first class foot ball power regularly
playing Princeton and Tale on even
term, and finally beating both. Colum
bia', famou. gamea with Princeton and
Tale ln which Columbia won were aa
follows:
December 4, 1876-Columbla, S; Tale, 1
November , 1900 Columbia, ; Prince
ton, B.
November 7, 1S9 Columbia, 6; Tale,
ITsed Hurdle Play.
It was Columbia, through Its famous
players, H. H. Weeks and W. R Morley.
which developed the spectacular "hur
dle" play to such an extant that the rule
committee had to legislate It out of exist
once. Columbla'a foot ball establishment went
out In the foot ball revolution of 1906-19OS.
It was believed at the time that It was a
protest against existing conditions and
that Columbia would return as soon as
these conditions had been reformed. Bm)
not ao. Again it wa. asserted In some
quarters that the action of the Columbia
faculty In the matter was believed by the
letter to bo a precedent which would bo
followed by other faculties and thus
eliminate the game as a college sport
If so this did not follow, for the other
foot ball universities aad colleges ap
plied the necessary reforma Now the
sport has asaumed national proportions
and Is twice as great In popularity and
patronage as it was when Columbia with
drew ten years sgo.
Want Nebraska to
' Play Foot Ball at
Frisco This Fall
Graduates of the big eastern universities
who now llvs on the coast are now head
ing a movement to attempt to have Tale,
Harvard, Dartmouth, Syracuse, Pennsyl
vania, Cornell, Washington and Jeffer
son, Michigan or Nebraska play foot ball
games at the Panama-Pacific exposition
thla fall.
A aeries of such games In the big
stadium would be a boon to the sport ln
California, because at present few col
leges In that state play anything except
the Kugby game. Tha eastern colleges,
therefore, would have to compete against
each other or agalnat elevena from Ore

Indians with one of the Paclflo coast
unlversltisa Ths snnual game between
Stanford and California seems to be as
sured to the exposition. The prime movers
in the effort to bring the eastern col
lege on for a big foot ball tournament
are S. Franklin B. Morae and George
Cadwalader, two former Yale men,
It has been pointed out that for some
of the eastern college, to leave for the
coast would involve a change In schedule.
The games s listed usually take the
team, right up to Thanksgiving day aad
they would have to leave for the coast
much before then, for the exposltlogt
