Just an Earful
By Tad. '
Jack Gleaaon, who waa at one time manager of the Han Franclaco base ball
club, pulled a bear up at tha Fiiar'a club the other night. "We had two players In
our league who had played together aa klda yeara before. Joah Re.Ily waa a
third baseman and Jimmy Whalen waa a pitcher. They had played In small town
leagues together for ten yeara and were
roommates. When they got Into the Pa
rife Coaat league Whalen thought he
recognised Rellly, hut waan't ture.
Whalen waa an awful thing aa a natter
and struck out more tlmea than the
Pmlth brothera have cought drops.
One day Whalen did get on flrat, draw
ing four balls. The next man up doubles
and Jimmy the Whale, as they exiled
him, got all the way to third. Rellly
eyed tha runner and Whalen, thinking
he recognized him, said: "Hello, Joah,
I haven't seen you for ten years I'm
Jimmy Whalen."
"Iay off that atuff, you're not Whalen,"
piped Rellly. watching the pitcher.
"Listen, Rellly, don't you remember
when we roomed together? I'm Whalen:
on the level I am."
Rellly paid no attention. They couldn't
fool him. Finally Whalen said: "Pay,
don't you remember when we played at
Rakerfleld?, I'm Whalen. on the square. "
Rellly, with a disgusted look, turned and looked at Jimmy again. ' (
"Say, you can't kid me, boy," he piped, "Whalen never got around this far."

at Bedford. Ia.a and his second year

LINCOLN, Neb.
Telegram). Affairs
so It seefs apparently certain that Cap
tain Dick Rutherford will aucceed Coach
Jumbo Stelhm as coach of athletics at
the university of Nebraska.
During the past two daya astonlahlng
strong sentiment in favor of Rutherford
has developed and tonight It seemed that
if a new man waa picked, with but
alight coaching experience. Rutherford
would land the job.
The athletlo board held its meeting to
arrange to fill the vacancy caused by
gtlehm's resignation. A committee, con
sisting of Dr. Clapp, chairman, Super
intendent F. M. Hunter. Dr. Walcott
and Herb Reeae and Hugh Otopoullk,
both football men, was named to take
up the matter of selecting a new coach
and to . report back to the board for
final action. Announcement was made
that there had ben a flood of applica
tiona alnce last Friday and there ahould
be little difficulty in filling the place
acceptably.
Foot Ball Mia Booat.
Rutherford apparently has all corners
beaten so fsr. The foot ball men are
said to be solidly with hlin while the
alumni are boosting strong for tho Corn
huaker atar In all aecUons of the state.
Rutherford Is accounted one of the
smartest foot ball men ever to leave the
university better versed in the game than
Bummy Booth or Jumbo Stlehm. who
were Nebraska's two best coaches. It
would not be surprising to see last year's
captain chosen within the next few days.
The board may take Ita time, however.
It authorised the chairman to appoint
a repreaentative to make tha trip to New
York City December 28 to attend a gen
eral collegiate meeting there where it
was thought some assistance might be
secured In solving the coach problem.
Base Ball Magnates
Gather at New York
for Winter Council
NEW YORK. Dee. 1J. Winter base ball
activities began here today with the
gatnerlng of the club owners to attend
the annual meetings of the International
and National leagues.
Edward Q. Barrow, president of tha
Intarnatlonal league, was on hand early
to open the meeting of that body today.
"I shall continue at the head of the
International league," aald Mr. Barrow.
"I have every reason to believe that the
coming season will prove more success
ful flian the past. I believe we have
safely passed the worst of the road."
Kir. Barrow would not discuss any
plans he may have for territorial
changes. It waa reported that an effort
would be mado at today'a meeting to
transfer franchises to Springfield, Mass.,
or Hartford, Conn.
August Herrmann, president of the
Cincinnati club, was one of the first
National leaguers to arrive.
He aald that he thought the time had
paaaed when the club owners of the
National league would have favored a
plan to sell their franchise to Indepen
dents. Discussing economy in base ball
he said the game In its most prosper
ous days was a very grave business
risk and that In twelve years the Cin
cinnati club earned 61 per cent of Its
original investment and has paid no
dividend for four or five years.
Mr. Herrmann aald that the players
have been getting all the money since
the laat baae ball war started. "The cost
of operation along last year's standard
was so great that none but prominent
pennant contenders had a chance to
make both enda meet." he said.

MANY SKATERS
AT AUDITORIUM
Five Hundred Couples on Floor Last
Night at Eevival of
Pastime.
PROVES AS CATCHING AS EVER
Roller skating, after being pacved away
In mothballs. Is again In the senlth of
popularity. Charles Franke, manager of
the "Muny" Auditorium, sfter viewing a
crowd of nearly BOO couples skating last
night, declared that from now on "dark"
nights in the big hall will be few and far
between.
Moat of the big crowd was composed of
women and girls, and fancy skatera were
much In evidence. Manager Franke has
a corpa of Instructors to offer free lessons
to any who wlah them, and will exert
every effort to see that the big crowds
are taken care of.
Tonight during intermission, a roller
hockey game has been scheduled between
two teams of Omaha skaters made up of
Harry Compton, Dick Brttton, Julius Dro
lick. Bam Droltck, Bennett Elerdlng,
Claude Tltsworth, Harry Lohrman and
Fred Compton. . After the game, Dick
Brltton, champion speed skater of the
middle west, will show his . speed to the
crowd. He is the same' young fellow
who was recently a contender for world's
championship honors, but lost by a small
margin.
"I am trying to arrange a acheme to get
a big band that can fumlsu music strong
enough to be heard above the roar of the
skating," declared Manager DYanke. "The
way things are now, though, seems- to
satisfy everyone, but we're trying to do
better all the time. There's Just one
thing I want to get before the public.
and that's the fact tw elthough this I
a public rink, we intend to maintain the
same polite atmosphere as any private
social organization could. There will be
no roughstuff and parents r:eed have
no fear about allowing ''lelr children to
attend."
