11 to . I ast evening the locals had their
Innings and returned the compliment with
a win by a almllar score. Tho contest
was one of the snappiest pulled eff on tho
college court this season and was replete
with sensational playing.
Pave for the first three minutes, Omaha
retained the lead by a narrow margin
throughout the first period. The visitors
tied the count several times, but lacked
the punch to make baskets when they
were most needed. The period ended H
to .
Doaae Fights Ytaoroasly.
On the restart Doane tried hard to come
back. The visitors took picks on Klepser,
University of Omaha right forward, and
while the stsr performer was able to ne
gotiate five double-decker the first half,
in the second period he was guarded so
close that he was unable to register a
tally.
Doane played with gn aggressiveness;
that kept the locals continually on their
metal. The visitors repeatedly displayed
flashes of form that rll but took the
Omahana oft their feet. Toward the close
of the contest Doane struck its stride, but
the rally was too late for a comeback.
Omaha V skswi Mettle.
Coach Kavan's disciples played an ex
ceptionally hard game. Although minus
the aervlcea of Captain Adams, who was
Vinable to perform because of a bad cbld
the locals put every ounce of their energy
In the battle, with the result of the fa
vorable outcome.
Bayer, at center for Doane, played one
of the niftiest games witnessed on the
college court this seamn. Bayer had lit
tle trouble in getting the ball at the tip
off, which he always directed into the
Hands of one of his guards or forwards.
Omaha found it impossible to break up
this combination, which waa responsible
for the larger number of Doane'a scores.
In the matter of recording the most bas
kets, Bayer also took first honors. - The
cenlen corralled three and added five
more tallies by free throws.
K.'tm.'iifls and Whltehouse were also

OLD OFFICERS ARE RE-ELECTED
The board of directors of the Omaha
Amateur Base Ball association held the
first meeting of the year at the city hall

suing year and mapped out a few ten
tative plans for the 191 campaign.
The old officer were all. re-elected.
Jake Isaacson waa re-elected president;
William B)osles, secretary, and F. B.
Hunter, treasurer.
The directors decided last night that
an arbitration board shall be appointed
this yesr to settle quarrels and disputes
which may occur. Last year-the board
of directors acted as an arbitration board.
but found this method faulty in that
most of the directors are presldenta of
the various leagues in the association
and therefore Inclined to be more or le
prejudiced in their views. It was de
cided that an arbitration board of fiv
or six disinterested psrties, men who
are in now way connected with the ama
teur association, be appointed and every
dispute, argument or 'quarrel be turned
over to this board. The directora will; as
In the past, conduct the business affairs
of the association.
residents of the varlotiif leagues were
urged to call meetings of their organi
sations as soon as possible. It 1 hoped
that a general meeting of the associa
tion can bs held within the next two or
three weeks as important chsnges are
advisable. The constitution, and many
rules must b altered fqr 181a and the dl
rectors are anxloua that the new working
constitution and rules be drafted as soon

$fi6.87 a minute, as he will receive $30,000
from the promoters. These sums consti
tute the largeet purse ever offered for
a ten-round contest. The champion drove
i hard bargain.
.Joaes Oets Check. '(
Tom Jones, manager for Willard, was
given a check for $2,500 by Dave Lewln
sohn. representing Btcksrd and Mc
Cracken. According to the agreement.
$20,000 is to be deposited by the promoters
with Robert Vernon of New Tork, the

The question of a referee is expected
to come up at. a conference with the pro

aettled. -
Wlllard Delighted.
Willard expressed himself ss delighted
that the match had been arranged. He
has been doing light work at the Chicago

at once wired Walter Monahan at Los
Angeles to come here and take charge of
the champion's training program.
It was reported here that the price of
seats to the contest would range from $3
to $36.
Tom Jones tonight denied reports that
he had match Wlllard to fight Dillon In
April. He aald he declined to do so be
cause he thought the match would not
prove a popular one because of the dis
parity in bulk of the two men. Wlllard
is a giant, while Dillon Is much lighter
aad shorter. ,

CHICAGO, Feb. 4. Alarmed at
the Increasing difficulty at getting
now capital for electric railway ex
tension and Improvements, as re
flected In a decrease of more than
36 per cent in the amount so in
vested during the last five years, as
compared to the previous five years,
tbe executives of the principal street
and interurban railway systems of
the United States, represented in the
American Electric Railway assocla
Hon, met here today to discuss means
for meeting the situation. It was
stated that 37,000 miles of electric
railways, with annual receipts of
n.ore than half aUHon dollars, were
represented.
'.Practically all of the utilities repre
sented are under the control of state or
city commissions, with powers to fix tlx
rates which the companies are allowed
tc charge. That the manner in which
this power has been exercised has had
much to do with bringing about the state
of financial affairs, waa the opinion of
practically all the speakers.
Fear Restrictive Lflshtto.
Colonel Timothy S. William, president
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system of
New York, said:
"The hesitating attitude of investors to-
srd public - utility- securities -has been
due not merely to the imposition of re
strictive and sometimes retaliatory legis
lation affecting returns In the shape of
Interest or dividend, but to doubt as to
the Integrity of the Investment itself.
owing to the uncertainty of valuation and
to fear that the power of valuation .for
rate purposes may be used to depreciate
tiie val io of property for governmental
acquisition."
Ask Practical Deleaatlon.
N. T. Guernsey of New York, general
counjcl for the American Telegraph ami
Telephone company, led the discussion
cn "Valuation," pleading for practical
lather than theoretical methods in de
termining for rate making and other pur
poses the value of public utility prop
erties. The association holds a dinner with the
American Klectric Manufacturers' ssso
ciation this evening, at which addresses
will be made by Senator Oscar W. Under
