Judgments
UMORS that ait upheaval is
due in the Western league
and that Frank Isbell, owner
of the Des Moines club, win
nrnhablv succeed Frank
Zehrung as president of the league,
continue to circulate freely around
base ball circles. Inasmuch ai it has
been impossible to discover authen
tically the starting point of these ru
mors, Western league magnates don t
, know whether a joker is loose or
whether somebody is trying to sub
marine the league. The increased cir
culation of the reports that Izay is
scheduled to become the leagues
executive is what mystifies the mag
nates. When the first report came
out last summer Isbell laughed. ' They
would have me pay too much money
to shoulder alt the grief that goes
, with that job," declares me ues
Moines man. ine otner cam owners
BU9U tU&llt-Vl. " W " , ,
rather have Isftell a trancnise owner
than a president, and, of course, he
could hardly be both. That should

instead, it seemed to give it life until!

prediction that the Western league is
due for an upheaval can be granted;
it probably is. But no criticism aut
ficiently severe to warrant his ousting
ha) been heard of Zehrung most of
the magnates agree the prexie has
done very well and it's not likely Is
bell would be given the job, anyhow.
So ft looks as if somebody were try
ing to kid, somebody, or start an in
ternal row in the league. ( ;
St. Louis scribes are taking the
hammer to the Browns. After the
Browns made their sensational spurt
,h ton nf the ladder Messrs.
Otto Stiffel and Phil Ball, owners of
the club, came to bat with a numoer
of sportsmanlike oilers that should
have put 100 per cent more fight into
the Jones crew. Ball offered a num
ber ef bonuses. He bought each man
nn the IMiti a new suit of clothes.
Stiffel bought every one a new hat.
They were given half of the receipts
from exhibition games played. And
then, the Mound City scribes charge,
the Browns began to play ball like a
bunch of temperamental impressanos
aihn didn't rare whether school kept
or not, as long as they, personally,
It's hannened before. The more a
club owner does for a ball player the
more, it seems, the ball player wants.
And e wants to give less. Messrs.
Ball and Stiffel should have learned
a lesson when they ran the Federal
league club, but apparently their en
thusiasm blinded their judgment.
While It's tough on Ray to lose his
chance to go to the majors, Omaha
fans breathed a sigh of relief yester
day when the Cleveland American
league club announced it had can
celled its draft on Ray Miller: The
loss of Ray Miller would be a sad
blow to the Rourkes. He's about the
best first sacker that has played
around Omaha in many a year. He
stands second in the league batting,
and he has the almost superhuman
knack of scooping low throws out of
the dirt. And while he is no ten
second man for speed, he's a mighty
handy man to have on the bases and
he's a good run-getter for the simple
reason that he is always alert and any
momentary miscue by catcher or
pitcher, or any other player holding
the ball, means that Miller will annex
another base. And while we grant
that it is hard on Ray, it's Omaha's
gam, because it means Kourxe win
have the best first baseman in the
i!oop again next year.
Eastern base ball experts have
started discussions of the relative
worth of Walter Johnson and Gro
ver Cleveland Alexander. Some fa
vor Walter, some Grover. Some say
Johnson must pitch against better
hitters, other demurr. Some say
Johnson hasn't got the team behind
him. Perhaps not, for hitting, but in
the .fielding' line Washington has
Philadelphia lashed to the mast.
There aren't any McBrides, Fosters,
Milans or Shanks on the Phillies.
Walter's mates will cut down a lot
of hits that Alexander's never would
be able to touch. But Johnson pitches
in one league, Alexander in an
other. Alexander's record, of course,
is the better, but it would seem that
argument over the merits of these
two hurling wonders is foolish, there
isn't any way to arrive at an unpreju
diced decision. If you're from Ne
braska Alexander is the better pitch
er; if you're from Kansas it's John
son. St - Louis is a grand little city.

NONPAREILS ON THE JOB
By FRANK QUIGLEY.
Amateur base ball around these
jungles is just about ready to sneak
under the covers for approximately
six months and an old tried and found
guilty entertainer commonly called
foot ball will be the center of attrac
tion for some moons to come.
A large number of aggregations
r slrradv lined uo and prac
ticing hard a couple of nighta per week
and most of them will take advantage
of. the daylight by working out today.
Nearly every team is loruiieu wiin n
experienced coach and the raw ma
terial will soon gain enough knowl
edge of the game so they can qualify
for fast company. ' ,
It has always been the desire of the
local foot ball enthusiasts and players
to mold together a team that could
mop up with the Wisner Cornfeds, but
to date the crape has always been
hung on the Omaha squads that it
tempted to turn the trick. Last sea
son the Nonpareils came close when
they lost the championship of the
state to Wisner by the score of 7 to 0.
urun.r haa a rnrker of a team and
they play clean foot ball, but here is
hoping some Omaha bunch is rough
enough to ciean up on roon. n
Nonpareils Are Back.
Of course the Nonpareils,' the big
noise in local foot ball circles, will be
back in the field for the supreme pur
pose of again nailing the champion
ship of Omaha to the cross. The
following gents are on the Nonpareil
roster: Kieny, Sandau, Hassen, Ray,
Moore, Long, Smith, Foran, Simpson,
May. Pearson, Schuelsky, Payne,
Nordstrom, Murphy. Blackman, bel
den and Lynch. This team- will be
under the personal direction of Phil
Lynch. For games call Tyler 2279W or

Hawkeye Coach :
Discards Dummies
And Bucking Straps
Iowa- City, la., ' Sept. 23,-(Spe-
cial.) Tackling dummies, bucking
straps, charging machines, and some
f the nther frivolities of elemental
foot ball that have in the past con
sumed some of the early days of the

about the field, and that no particu

Practice at Iowa on the second day
of the season was a continuance of
h Hrivinir work in signals that had
been administered to the first team
on the opening day ot work, ine
Wn was. chased back and forth
up and down the field with Jones al
ways at its heels and directing the
efforts of the men. Considerable ad
vance in running off plays smootniy
is already apparent, and the signals
are working well. Use of the shift
formation in a considerable number
of the plays has been evidenced, but
this indicates no radical variance from
the style of play generally used
throughout the west for the last few
seasons. . . . ,
Captain Laun, Triplett, Bowleiby,
Holmes, Grubb, Fosdick and McKee
continued last night to hold line po
sitions, with Jacobsen getting a try
at Fosdick's tackle. Bannick and
Jenkins at quarter, Davis, Menden

and Scott and Wyland at fullback
made up the back field. ' The mate

Commercial High
Eleven Has Stiff
Week of Practice
. At the end of the first week of
practice the Commercial High school
eleven has the looks ot one wnicn
will bring home the bacon. There
has been an average of thirty-five
candidates out for practice every day
during the last week.
Coach Drummond, expecting to
buck up against Central yesterday,
gave his squad a good deal of hard
work in scrimmage the last few days,
which has put the team in first class
condition. The game was postponed
a week, however.
Starting this week, Commercial will
have scrimmage practice against the
Council Bluffs eleven twice a week.
On end positions, Paul Stoetzel,
Milton Morearty, Emit Rokusek,
Herb Welsh and Zeleith Skriver are
showing up in fine shape. Frank
Ross, Oscar Shalberg, Carl Hirth and
Harry Anderson look to be the most
promising guards. Carl Harsch and
Perry Shirley are counted on as
tackles, and Lanky Reeves at center.
The backfield is fast and will be good
on both the offense and defense.
Charles Conhiser and Leo Kane are
the quarterbacks and Don Peters and
Jumbo Carlisle, fullbacks. Bill Dewey.
William Gorman and Hunk Rokusek
will be the halfs. '

and the All-Nations, the famous cos-
mopolitan organization of which
Donaldson, the negro hurler, is the
star, is a plan Pa Rourke has on
foot.
Omaha fans who have seen Don
aldson mow down the Brandeis slug
gers repeatedly for several years,
have always been more or less cu
rious as to how Donaldson would
fare with Western leaguers. There
are those who believe he would be
just as good against the Rourkes as
against the Brandeis. There are
others who believe the pros would
drive him to cover pronto.
It would be an interesting combat,
and Rourke is now in communication
with the All-Nations. If the game
is arranged, it will be played a week
from today. .

To occupy the shoes of Harold

halfbacks the west ever knew, is all
that' Coach Bob Zuppke is asking of
Leo Klein, former Omaha High
school gridiron star, who is attending
school at Illinois. -
Klein is the only returning back
field letter man Zuppke has except
Captain Macomber, who the Illinois
coach will play at quarter this year.
Klein subbed for Pogue last year.
This year he will be the veteran of
the backfield and the man upon whom
most of the work will fall.
The Omaha 'lad only weighs 150
pounds and will be the lightest man
on the team, but Zuppke believes he
will be able to accomplish the task.
