Brother Daves Grass is Only Sleeping Under the Ice r t X DATTDVT7 CTHUC irn nuunivr, diuud TWO MORE PLAYERS Ry Killer, First Baseman, and Mack Allison, Pitcher, Purchased from American Association. SCHEDULE MEETING ON MONDAY Pa Rotrrke yesterday announced the purchase of two player from the Ameri can association. Ray B. Miller, first bnMnan. from the Columbus club, and Mack Allison, pitcher, from the Kmiu City dub, are the men. Miliar last year hit .259 with Columbus, He as member of thst club for four years. He U sn experienced and finished hall p'.avcr. Miller made 114 hits last year, of which seventeen were of the two-base variety, two were three-sackers and five were home runs. Miller fielded .!;, made 1.02S pu touts, sixty-three as sists and twenty-three errors. Miller win battle with Frlti Schliebner for the Initial comer Job. Allison didn't make much of a mark in the association last year, but his club wasn't much to boast about. His pitching averatre was .711. He won five fames nd lost eleven. Marty Krug, however, ays Allison will be a star In the West ern. He has had major league experi ene. rhednle Meeting; Monday. The schedulo meeting of the Western league wl'l bo held st Lincoln Monday. The meeting has been called by President Frank C. Zehrung and will be the first meeting at which the new prexle will preside. The magnates have about agreed among themselves to play the 154-game schedule this year. Last year 140 games were played snd the yesr before IKS games. Neither the extremely long nor the short schedule are considered satisfactory. The major leagues play 154 games and this length has been decided the best. John Savage of Topeka is the only man likely to object to the 154-game chart. Savage favors 140. He expressed himself, along this line, however, before the peace pact was consummated and It is thought he will have the same confidence of the other magnates regarding the success of the approaching season, and swing into line for 164 games. Pa Rourke of Omaha favors opening on April 1ft, the same day as the American association. In case the moguls do not want to open April 18, .Rourke believes rll 14 Would be the logical date. All Waat Opening Dales. The usual scramble after opening dates nd holiday dates is expected. Most of the club owners want to open at home. Rolrke doesn't care overly much. He is entitled to open at home as h has started the season away from home for two suc cessive years. The Omaha mag, however, Is willing to play away from home if th other club owners are anxious to start the ball rolling on the home lot. ' Rourke has a plan which he will pre sent before the -meeting as regards the distribution of holiday dates. In Ne braska and Iowa the law prevents the double bill on Memorial day. Thus Sioux City, Lincoln, Des Moines and Omaha are up against itr.en this date. In the other four cities there Is no sue hlaw. Rourke suggest that each year Topeka, Wichita, St. Joseph and Denver play at home on Decoration day", while Omaha, Sioux City, Des Moines and Lincoln play at horns on July 4. The '.Labor day plum' could be divided fifty-fifty, each city getting the date on alternate years.' J Santel, Who Will ' Wrestle Gotch, Is Also Adolph Ernst Omaha wrestling fans are wondering who Edward Bantel, who is booked to meet Frank Ootch In the champion's first come-back match at Ban Francisco, February it. may be. For, their infor v matlon Santel la none other than Adolph V .Ernst, more or less well known around rtiese parts. Ernst has been wrestling on the coast for some lime under the name of Santel and he has licked everything In sight. Included In this number is one Jack Meyers of Omaha, who recently returned from California. Krnat Is the chap, who wrestled Stecher for seventy minutes at Fremont before the Dodge youth beat him with the scis sors. If Qotch throws Ernst twice In one hour as be has contracted to do, the wrestling publlo will know the champion is himself, for the man who can stay with Steelier as long as Ernst did. Is seme grapplcr, and Ernst is all of that A local paper recently said Emat threw Santel on the coast. Perhaps It can be done, but It would seem rather Att cult matter for 'Ernst to throw himself.

MAY RON OMAHA RACES Omaha Auto Speedway Negotiating .with Veteran of. Racing Game, - to Handle Local Contests, r IS THE WISE BIRD OF THEM ALL Bill Pickens, who has been connected with, the automobile racing game ever since the first steel steed rolled onto a track, may become the director of con tests for the Omaha Auto Speedway. The management of the local speedway is now dickering with Pickens to stage the two races which will be held here this year. Pickens la the daddy of all race vet erans. He . promoted races' in .the old days out of blue sky. Any old kind of a track and any old kind of a coffee grinder and Pickens put on an automo bile rjee that was a race. - . , : . He didn't , need any expensively con structed speedways. Any pieces of level ground wss good enough. He didn't need any guard rails and retaining walls to protect the lives of the drivers. He built for 'em to run Into. Speedway managers have found It a tough Job to get drivers on their tracks. Appearance money, the presidential suite at the best hotel in town and a lackey to fan the flies away are offered only to have the drivers sniff disdainfully and demand malf of the Atlantic ocean in addition. But Pickens, when he wants to hold a race, merely beckons and the , drivers come flocking In. First Hare 1 J air. Pickens ls now building a two-mile track , at Kansas City and plans, to have it completed for a race the latter part of April. After the Kay See race he would Jump into the saddle at Omaha and get ready for the first race here on July 15. l..e second race will be held during the Ak-Bar-Ben 'festivities. The Omaha, speedway management de clares it does not intend that 1916 shall be a repetition of 1915. The race last year was In many wsys a failure be cause the local chaps were given' the triple-cross by everybody who got a chance to do it. That Is why they are after a man like I'lokena who hss hsd eighteen yesra' experience In the game managing such people as Barney Oldfleld, the late Lincoln Beachey, De Lloyd Thompson and many others. He now has a womsn aviator who loops-the-loop and flies at night on his staff. And eighteen years hsndllng such people of tempera ment makes giving Bill Pickens the triple- cross a parallel achievement with robbing the Vnlled States mint. Long Ski Race at Miller Park Today A ten-mile cross-country ekl race will e hsld at Miller park today, starting at o'clock. That Is, it will be held if the weather man consents to leave a suffi ciency of snow In the park. Eric Racklund, m hoiold a score of ski ing trophies won in Sweden; Ernest Llnd berg, Nels Erlckson, Fabian Jsder, Olsf Anderson, Israel Israelson and several other Omaha lads who sre proficient at the Norwegian sport are en'ered.

The first leg of the bssket ball season shows only three teams that have been able to withstand the onslaughts of their contemporaries with a perfect average. In the Trl-Clty loup, the J. L. Bran dels' men are hugging the first rung of the ladder with a tenacious grip. All opponents . essaying to dislocate them have themselves been bumped down the average column. The department store men, however, ..have a hard road to travel for some of the quintets they trimmed earlier In the season are show ing unusual strength The Townsends with their unusual per formance of winning five consecutive games are looming up as the big op ponents of the Merchants. Welgels' Gun ners were defeated by the Brandels fn an ' early - season gsme, but since that time have greatly Improved. The next game between the toams is carded for February 22. Baakrx Lead ComaaerclaU. ' In the Commercial league, the omaha National Banks have . humiliated every five In the league by a desclsivs Victory. The,, banking men have had no opposi tion this season and their easy wins have been one of the Jokes of the league. The Joe Smiths of Council Bluffs, who made a strong start were given their first set back, when they encountered the Central ,lilgh School Reserve, last Thursday. This loss throws a hamper on their chances, for the Iowana are matched to play some of the 'strongest fives In the league during the next few weeks. . v Play in the Commercial league the last lo weeks has proven such a strenuous vocation that Creighton Laws found It Impossible to continue the floor game. They last wek turned their fran chise over to the Omaha Independents, who wil continue where the lawyers left off., - - Methodists' Lead Charches. ' The First Methodists have been hav ing their own way in the church league. Under Captain Moore, the Methodists have made the rounds of the loop and found every five wanting. The final supremacy of their ability will be tested Thursday evening, when their second re turn game takes place with' the Hanseom Park Methodists. Although the First Methodists cleaned up on the Hanseom Parkers early In the season, the latter, under Chct Wlllard, have propped UP the weak spots and as a result feel cer tain of making amends for the former loss. Since losing to the Methodists, the Hanseom Parkers won four consecutive games. Sla-aa for Mora Games.. . . The game between the ' Brandels and Wesleyan last Thursday, proved such a aucoess thst Manager Isaacson has signed up two more for the near future. The first wil be a return match with Fort Dodge, la. The Lowans defeated the locals some time ago. The match was to take place Thursday, but was called off for a latter date, not yet definitely agreed upon. The second big- game will be played the early part of March with the Olympic five of California. The Californlans pass through Omaha on their way to Chicago, where they will defend their title for the Amateur Athletic union championship of the country. Isaacson is trying to arrange for a re turn game with Wesleyan, at Cnlverslty Place.
