ALL DEPENDS ON PLATERS "That Is certainly rwwit muate for the r of the minor league owner," declared Pa Ftourke. owner of the Omaha Weet- ern league club. ' when the newa that peace In baseball waa aaaurred wa broken to him. "The halcyon days of old," rejoiced ' Ttourke "will return again. "With two major leagues, no outlaws, no contract Jumpers, everything happy and peaceful within Organised base ball, the fans will come back and the professional game resume Its place as the national pastime In America. "The base ball war has unquestionably been the cause of the last two poor sea- sons. It la the players which put the life Into the fans. When the players exhibit ginger and pep on the diamond the fan comes to see the games, gets excited, takes an active Interest and everything la rosy. "But during the last two years the players have played when they wanted to and loafed when they wanted to and mostly they loafed. They fussed and fumed about salaries and most of the base ball business consisted of scrapping over finances Instead of over pennants. When a club owner of fered a player a contract. b could reas onably stand, the player laugher, oe- manded More money, got it and then played Indifferent base balui. Experts Bettr' Tear Here. "But It will be different now. The player will have to hustle. He'll play real' ball or he'll lose his lob. The result will be the game will once more have Its attractions for the fans and will prosper. I expect the Western to have fifty per cent txtter season next year now that peace has been declared." Ftourke opines that there will be some neat salary cutting In the majors be fore the season opens in April. "The big boys are tired of paying railroad president salaries to temperamental' stars." said Pa. "and you won't hear many more yarns about $18,000 and $15,000 salaries from now on." Athletes Will Palle. That many of the players who bolted from Organised base ball and leaped to the Teds will not be allowed to re enter the majors Is Rourke's belief. He ventures the opinion that those who had big loop jobs before the Feds ap peared will be forced back Into the minors. "6 course the big stars who broke reserve clause contracts three years ago probably will gee back," he said. "The penalty for such offense la suspension for three years and the three years I "P for several of them. They will not auffer. But some of the other fellows who broke-contracts which is a five-year offense will be penalised. Others who broke contracts and signed long-term hlgh-calarled contracts with the Feds will be allowed to return to the majors upon agreement to pass up their demand on the contract obligations. Of course all players In the Feds will re vert to the Organised ball clubs which ' previously controlled their services. "All in all It is mighty pleasant news and you'll find every minor league own er tickled to death." To Start Play in Tri-City Basket Ball League Soon The Tri-City Basket Ball league will tart soon after the first of the year and the first game of the regular high school schedule will be with Council Bluffs High, Jnnuary 8.

Operation on Joe Tinker Successful CHICAGO, Dec. 18 -Joe Tinker, man ager of the Chicago Federal league cham pions, submitted to an operation today for stone In the kidney. Intermittently through the base ball arason Tinkt-r suffered Intense Internal pain and was repeatedly advised that an operation was necessary. The visit to the hospital was delayed because the manager waa determined to direct his club's fight for the pennant. Recently It waa believed that Inflam mation had set In and today the Incision was made by Ir. M. U Harris. The re port from the hospital waa that Tinker was retting well after the operation. Just v 1 i an JDanui By Tad to get along In the world waa to There was an Someon said some years ago that one way keep your ears open and your moth shut? Ever hear of Heer Plaacke, the Holland champion? Oh, yea, he met Kid MoCoy In Phllly about twelve years ago, awful hullabaloo over the big cheese, and the affair drew quite a crowd. This guy Plaake, you know, weighed as much aa a dreadnought and waa the Woolworth building of the hopes for sice. He had McCoy worried by the stories of bis fights, but the Kid said nothing, but sawed wood, and on the night of the fight sawed more. He looked at the big lob In the other . corner and figured out how to lick him. They fought the first round, and al though the Kid did belt the gigantic gorgonsola hard and often he fatld to drop him, and tired quite some from his efforts. He came up for the second round still tired, but hopeful. Plaacke, who looked like nothing n a Plaacke, who looked like nothing human, put up his dukes and faced the Kid. Mc Coy suddenly dropped his hands, and pointing to Plaacke's corner, said: "Say, that second of yours wants to speak to you." The big boob turned, and as he did so McCoy unbuttoned a right that started from Dutchman's chin. Half an hour later, when he woke up In the dressing "Say, vot did dot feller vont ma for? 7 oo r I JvrrtM the floor and ended against the room, Ilaacke asked: LINCOLN MEN BUY CLUB FROM JONES Stock Company .Formed to Take Over Weitern League Club at Once.

Negotiations between the locals and tha Coyotes were started some time ago and the deal waa consumatod yesterday. The 'Coyotes sre ssld to have a crack ing good floor quintet thla year and the locals believe they will show Omaha fol lowers of the basketeerlng sport a good exhibition. The Burgess-Nash tern of Omaha has now closed contracts for four big games In Omaha with outalde teams.

Ohio Is a big, rangy chap plays a fast game on the floor and shoots accurately from all parts of the floor and from all angles. Charley Peters is Willing to Tackle Martenson or Greek Charley Peters, the Pebll'lon grappler, ventures the opinion that Joe Htecher is not the only Nebraska wrestler who can dump one Paul Martenson of Chicago, the man who wrestlnl Htecher for the fourth time at Sioux City the other night. Petera has deposited the sum r-f H' with the sport ng editor of The Bee as evi dence of good faith, and he challenges either Martenson or Kuvaros. the Greek, who wants a crack at Stecher. Kuvaros was matched to wrestle ftech"r at U. Joseph Isst week, but Htecher had the grip and called the match off. The $100 posted with The Bee Is a for feit for a aide bet of from tioo to K0 with either ens of the wreatlera men tioned above. Mr. Peters ssys he prefers to wrestle In Omaha.' Peters started wrestling here several years ago and beat all comers In the preliminaries when matches were staged at the Auditorium with Gotch and Beell and Burn and other as the principals. Blnce that time he has been In other parts of the country and haa wrestled some of the best of them, always giving a good account of himself. He wrestled a half-hour draw with Krnat several months ago. Peters Is the man who posted 1100 a short time ago for a match with Rtrangler Lewis, but the Htrangler did not see fit to tske him on.
