Norrls U O'Neill, president of the West rn league, connected with the stationery again during the week, and the outcome was moat astonishing letter managera of the club of the In Ms remarkable eommunlca- CHATTER OFJHE SANDLOTS Newly-Annexed South Omaha Teami Showing Themielve Worthy of the Bif City. ARMOURS LEADING CLASS A to the league. Hon, the president of the league told the managers they were to lay before the players and at once secure assent to one of two propositions: Either the players are to continue during the season on a percentage basis, or they muat accept n immediate and radical cut In pay. Failing to acquiesce in either of these plans will subject the player to the ut most possible punishment, as the presi dent will suspend the playing season of t,he league, and thus throw all the play ers out of work. If either of the plans is adopted, and a player declines to ac cept It, he will be sent to a lower classi fication. One wondera Just where the president of the Western league derives the power that will enable him to carry out in full hia plana. The situation in which the Western league finds Itself is Just a HtUe bit peoillar, and maybe precarious. but t teems a trifle early In the season to talk of disbanding because of the bad weather. If It were possible to forecast the weather for the entire season, and know that the rains would continue, then some reason for erring up might exist. But thr.ec-flfths of the playing aeason yet remain, and with a reasonable pros pect that favorable conditions will attend the majority of the game It Is true that the owners have already sustained heavy losses as a direct result of the untoward weather conditions, and Rourke of Omaha is very likely the heaviest loser, aa he was rained out of the best part of his first home series, at time when his team waa going along well, and pubHo Interest was keen. Mr. Rourk estimates his losa at not lee than 16,000 on this account, and he la probably under rather than over the mark. Ad mitting this, there is yet time to recoup, with favorable weather. ' To begin with, the player la protected by a contract which. If a base ball con tract Is worth anything, gives him assur ance of his pay t a certain rate during the playing season, or as long as his cervices are' satisfactory and he la not Kiitlty of such misbehavior as would sub. Ject hlin to dismissal from the service of the club. How can Mr. O'Neill set aside these contracts? Again, under what show of right can he assign a player to a "lower classification?" If a player be dismissed from the service of the Western league, he la at liberty to sign anywhere he can get employment, and no member or official of the West em league can legally Interfere with him. if the league breaks ita contract with the player, he not only becomes a free agent, but It would be the height of Impudence for the president of tlmt league to sug gest that he be not employed elsewhere because of hia having Incurred the aur guat displeasure of the executive. Just why the players should be re quested to share the losses of the teams is not epparvnt. They are never Invited to participate In any profit of the ven ture, and It's a poor rule that doesn't work both ways. The plsyer fas engaged at a rate of pay the owner thinks) wHl make his . services profitable. If he doesn't deliver the goods, he la set adrift; tf he does deliver, he ought to hav the rate agreed upon. Western league play ere. In common with ah others under the. National agreement, suffered a re duction In pay at the beginning of th present season, and no very good reason exiata why they should be asked to again submit to have their reus stashed. K the owners feel It would be unwise to continue through the season at the pres ent rate, their better course would be to close up shop. ; Whatever Is done, the situation Is hardly kkely to be much Improved as a result of the pronundamento sent out by the president of the league. Thte was bne time wbon "Tip" would have been doing hi employe a real service by keeping very quiet untiT after the meet in that has been oalled at Omaha for June 17. It may result In another meeting- being called for an earlier date, but it will take some time to overcome the unfavorable Impression caused by the publicity given. The Western league la not the only one in financial straits as a result of public Indifference. It looks as if we were due for another readjustment In base ball. . I'rt Graver has made one three bass nit during bis base ball oareer, and he cot that just in Mms to beat Omaha In a tight game. Topeke still clings to the habit of waV : (.fin Omaha, which Is the only pleasure l',n outfit ever has. Into cash schedule some rain must fall, some day see empty seats. Woodmen of the World team. They wftl nave to purchase some cores is lo put themselves In shape. Tub Carter Is now leading the Strollers. They will take the place left open by the departure of the McQuillan Hats from the NaUonal league. At the present writing the Pton are well fortified In the slinging department. MoOuIre, Hayes, Oleaon and Gray com pose the twiners quartet. By FRAXK QCIGI.EY. Although South Omaha was attached J to Omaha the other day, nevertheless the writer will still recognize the squads as South Omaha teams, because as soon as Greater Omaha puts on a real metropoli tan air the different sections will be recognised as south, east, west and north. Just wanted to rail the fans' attention to the fact that three ' South - Omaha teams are roosting on the higest pedestal In three different leagues. The Armours are on top In the Greater Omaha league and from present Indication! they will In all probability cop the pennant and Inci dentally. 100 plunks. The winner of the Greater Omaha league can have a real spread on 100 bones. In the Intercity league the Brown Park Janlors look rather eugary. Trimble Bros, are right on their heels and so are the South Omaha Midgets, but they will have to step some to put a crimp In the aspira tions of the Parks. From the jump-off the Brown Park Merchant have been snoozing on the top roost of the City leagiie and if they don't Inhale too much confidence, and if Madam 111 l,uck will pass them up, It Is a safe wager that they will waits away with tho flag. From appearances la the National league It looks like the Ramblers will ramble away with ' the grape. With Benny ' Monroe shooting the pills over the crockery for th J. D. Crew of the Booster league it will be difficult mat ter for the opposition to nose them out of the exalted position which they now hold. The other real contender in this league are the Q. A. Nelsons and the Tradesman. Three team are rather elose in the Southern league, and, a the com petition Is keen and the teams approxi mately evenly matched. It woflld be pre posterous to usher an opinion as to which crew will grab the bunting. The South east Improvement club, Corr Electrics and St, Franols aggregations are tho conundrums of this league. Bkoe Mem la l-d. According to tha dope dished out In the Mercantile league, It look rather rosy for the Drexel Shoe company tribe. It wouldn't be a bad plunge to speculate that the Shoe peddler will walk away with the honors. In the American league e smoke 'em up gents i representing the Kennedy and Besfelln weed works are two game to the s-ood. The Omaha Rubber Co. dude Dan Cunld ha conspired against Willie Jo)c relative to tossing the sphere on 6undays. William should out loose and help the Nours Oil gang. Next Wednesday at the city hall, the Omaha Amateur association will hold Its regular meeting. Many propositions of Interest will be brought up. It Is a long way to Toperary In the Inter-Cltv league, but President Jthn A. Gentleman of the Gentleman's Athletics says his colls are oa their way. On the middle pillow Benson looks rsther sweet. He la owned by the Nourse OH tribe. With the stlok and digging 'em out of the dust Ben Is a peaoherlno. Those ' Mlrasky -brothers looked rather sweet against the Alamitoe andjust the reverse against the Uuxus. They are hitched to the A H. Bourgeois congrega tion. Guess the local ought to doff their lid to Vernon In recognition of his remark. r.ble feat of holding the Laixus to three hits Sunday and Monday, shutting oat the Armours. At tho association meeting the Southern kague will bring up the southeast Ira I rove men t clUb-Corr Electric battle. The Electrics are charged with playing; otass "A" players. Mr. Stick, or rather Mr. Kane, chief c-tok and bottle washer for the Hotel Ostle team, say his boy are going to snag the pennant in the class "A" Sat urday league. Lovelady of Gentleman's Atnlnttu did some tall slugging against the Nebraska Auto School Juniors, he getting three heme runs and a two-base blow oat of four times up. Ralph C. Bowman la the main aemeese of the Coon Rapids (la.) brigade. Ralph wanted to hire an Omaha twfrier to work against Carroll (la.) last Monday, but his communication was a truie late. ' In the Booster - league the Mercttant Hotel crew are resting securely on the bottom rung. Aooordlna; to their leader, they are going to forget the Rip Van Winkle stuff and start to ollrab. The Counoll Bluff Imperial have a few open date left and they would like to near rrom stair ana Oakland, Neb., and Manning and Avoca, la. Address Otto Achats, 8400 Third avenue, Council Bluff. Ia, C. Cole and Plnault will do all the pitching hereafter for the West Leaven worth Merchants.

Reed, who has charge of traok athletic at th University of Ne braska, ha decided on a general reor ganisation of the work as a result ot the disastrous traok season which the Corn- bukr experienced thi year. Reed' plan call for fall track practice outside as long as th weather permit and train ing will be continued In the gymnasium during the winter month. Th fall track work will take the place ot cross-country runningIt now being the plan to drop that branch of sport at Nebraska', owing to the lack of Interest and'the fact that Nebraska has not mads a particularly bright showing In It during the last three years. With the expense ot eross-oountry eliminated, Reed figures, the nlbletlo board can give cups to win ner In the preliminary meet he will 'hold at the ooncTualon of the outdoor fall practice, ' The Husiker will lose three and pos sibly four men from tho track squad .a a result of graduation. Bates, Kuhlllk and Captain Zumwinkle finish school next Wednesday and will not be available. Frank Reavla, the Husker crack pole vaulter, who 1 a son of Congressman Reavla, may not return to choolr al though the chance now are that he will 'je on hand again next year.- ' . Fresh ma a Seaad Premlalaa-. Reed' freshmen squad, however, was th b-st Id year and he expect to cure much valuable material for the de velopment of tho vanity squad In 1910. In Shaw, Kosltalky and Rlddsl he ha three weight men who were better than the Varsity thi spring. All three expeot to return next year and the Huskers will have a trio well able to uphold Nebraska In the weight events. Smith, a Fremont boy, who waa expeoted to do well In the print thi spring, but who failed, to return to school, will be back again next fall, according to word Reed ba received and he should help the Husker materi ally In th sprint. Reed 'Is also pinning a bunch of faith In th ability of Owens, the littlo fveshman sprinter of thi year's squad and on of the fastest men In the dashe In the school. Owen defeated the fvarsity recruits regularly In praotlc. Garrison Is another member of the fresh men squad who look good to Reed. Eight Mea Get Letter. Letters wsre granted to eight member of the traok squad at the meeting of the athletic board this week. Those receiv ing "XV were, K. B. Scott, John Peer ing, O. H. Eumwlnkel, Frank Reavl. George Irwin. H. H. Goetse, Theodore Kublllk and Clyde Bate. The election of a captain for the track squad will take, place soon. Manager Reed having mailed out ballot to those member of the quad who have returned ho.-ne. Cornhuakera' finances are going to benefit greatly. It Is anticipated, as. a re sult of th referendum In the Missouri Valley conference, which restores Turkey day foot ball games. Nebraska has fought continuously against the rule, but was never able to swing- sufficient support before to secure the revocation of the rule. Other schools have felt the pinch of the lack ot a Thanksgiving day game the last two seasons, however. while the Cornhueker finance have been in most excellent shape as a result of the success which Nebraska hs had on the gridiron. They were willing to vote for the .change as a result. Turkey Day Rest for Spectators. With the closing gams of the year in the Katnrday before Thanksgiving; all of the schools have failed to muster the crowd which always attend th Turkey day battles. With Iowa a an opponent. Nebraska has not been able to draw nearly the crowd which the big game should attract. Ths Huskera will not be able to take advantage of the rhanue until 1916, but it is certain that Coa h Stlehm will avail himself of a Thanksgiving day game then. Billiard Craok Finds Golf Good Game for Eye NBW TORK. June a Base ball and golf do not mix, say some. Some opine that they do. The question ha to do with whether or not a batter' eye is benefited or Injured by playing golf. The majority opinion, however, ha been fa vorable to the loottlsh game. Now come another angle to thi same question KoJI Tamada, th noted Japanese bll llardlat. declares that hi "cue" eye I materially benefited by playing golf. 'What other athletto diversions do you engaa in to keep your health during your strenuous day on th greenolothed table?" was the purport of a question put to Tamada by n Intervtewtr. "Golf." waa th answer. "I play th ram of golf whenever X can so arrange my .affairs," added th Japanese, whose reputation a cueist rank Mm with th moot prominent billiard player In the United State. ' Tamada went on to explain that when he once started on golf he was Inath to glv it np end that h frequently played thirty-six to fifty-four hole a day. He add that after a fifty-four hot day he ha gone lr.to an Important billiard bat tle In tho ovenlng. "And th keenness of my eye on the table gam waa much Improved by these round of golf,"- ho assursd th Inter viewer. , . On I tempted to think that Yamada must have a ' remarkable amount of stamina If he ean play throe rounds of golf and then take part In a nerve-rack ing test of skill with th one and Ivories. HI explanation that he he much auo- oess on ths ' putting greens" Is a state ment not difficult of appreciation. Tener Looks With Suspioiou on the Big Hospital Lists Within a ahort time President Tener will present a rule to the NaUonal league for approval, which will determine under just what conditions a player may he placed on the hospital list, so that he will not count in tho twenty-ono-player limit whtoh was tdoptd for this season. Th large number of Injuries which are occurring make a ruling necefcaary. The endeavor will, however, be to hold a near aa possible to the spirit of tho twen ty -one-player limit. MOTORCYCLISTS TO HAVE COAST TO COAST RELAY RACE A coast to oat motorcyel relay will tart from New Tork on July IT, In which UT rider will participate in carrying a rressage from President Wilson to Baa Frinolsoo. Th cross-country course ha been divided Into thirty-nine relays, with ths approximate distance of ninety mile each. Three rider will tak part la each relay. One will be designated to' carry the message, and In ease of accident to him the second man will continue with th dispatch, and If h U delayed th third rider win tak It. The object la to Irak the fastest possible time across the continent. The route for th dispatu will be through central New Tork to Chicago than to -Sterling, 111., over th Lincoln Highway.
