Judgments
GRADUALLY the advantages of
the shorter season are begin
ning to dawn upon the base
ball magnates. The two
major leagues are sticking to
the long schedule and, of course, the
rarifir enact rttne f- a:i i .
the last of October. But the Ameri
can association, which played 168
games this year, it is said, is ready to
cut to 154. The Western league is
ready to trim to 140 game after hav
ing tested out the extreme schedule
of 168 games, the medium race, 154,
and the shorter 40-game schedule!
The Southern association wound up
the year on Labor day this year and
intends to profit by experience and
do the same thing next year. The I.
I. 1. league goes to the other ex
treme and announces a reduction in
the number of games from 140 to
126. When bad weather is encoun
tered in spring or fall, long schedules
make the going hard, and the mag
nates, especially the minor leaguers,
have come to realize that the addi
tional profits which are occasionally
made by long schedules are not worth
me giiiiiuie.
Ban Johnson is howling bloody
murder because some of the Ameri
can league players have been barn
storming. It is said some punishment
is to be meted out for this heinous
offense. And yet several big league
clubs, the Braves and Yanks and the
Tigers and Giants, have consummated
plans to make spring tours together
next year on the journey homeward
from the southern training camps.
Such games as these are bound to
hurt. .They will injure the minor
league club owners in the towns on
the itinerary and, in case one club
pummels the daylight out of the
other, will theclc those interest-making
discussion over the relative class
of the two big leagues. Is one any
worse than the other, or might it not
be the "other" i,worse than the
"one?"
John Tener, president of the Na
tional league, has declared war on
Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
ican league, because Ban happened to
criticise McGraw's action in Quitting
the field Hlirinor a crama k,li....- .U
Giants and Robins. Tener eve, goes
iSO far as to make the verv rude '

Followers of Nebraska foot ll
re guing 10 dc aoie to get a prdtty
good line on the merits of MisstAri
Valley foot ball as compared to ihat
of the east this .year. Notre Da(f e,
which clashes with the Cornhusliirs
on Thanksgiving day, plays the Aiy
next week. The Army has one offthe
best teams it ever had this year find
ranks a long favorite over the NjfVy.
But westerners are confident N stre
Dame will vanquish the military rar
riors, and in case they do Cornfn iker
supporters will get a chance to size
up their hopefuls with the best the
east possesses.
Ty Cobb is going to be the star
in a six-reel movie. Ty is to ?lay
the part of a world-famed athlete
wno steals second, third and home,
thus winning the game and the beau
tifully blonde daughter of a bank
president. The chap who invented
the game of base ball may i have
thought at the time that the child- of
his brain was to be a recreation and
sport for the American people, but
evidently he invented the game for
tne personal use ot ly Lobb. j
A score of suggestions to remedy
the world's series evil have been made
by as many reformers since the Red
Sox put the skids under the Robins.
Some of the suggestions are' good
ones, probably they are all better
than the present post-season system,
and it behooves the well known com
mish to show a little speed this win
ter and see if a practical plan can't
be worked out. '
It looks like a six-club league for
the Western In 1917. Frank (Isbell
has given up all hope of reviving
Wichita and Savage is getting ireedy
to blow Topeka. A six-club league
may make a less interesting pennant
race and it may check the prestige
of the Western, but it will be better
than lugging the burden of a couple
of lame ducks.
National leaguers are offering the
twenty-one-player limit rule as an
alibi for the manifest superiority of
the American league. What the Na-
lonal league needs most is a little
more pep, evea a couple of cheer
leaders might help.
Already 43,000 seats have been sold
for the annual Army-Navy game,
showing that the New York National
league club didn't pull any business
boner when it "bought" this event
from Uncle Sam.
Will wonders never cease? Geor
gia Tech, the other day, ran up a
score of 222 to 0 against Cumberland
and Cumberland's lineup carried such
names as Hennessee, Sullivan, Car
ney and Murphy, too.

ALL-STARS CLASH
WITHHOMREILS
Eleven Composed of Former
Greats Will Tackle 1915
Champs at Luxus Park.
HAVELOCK COMING NEXT
By FRANK QUIGLEY.
Despite the fact that all but one of
the elevens in the field insist tliev
are only class B, the local Sunday
foot ball exponents seem to be get
ting away toward a good year. The
Nonpareils, the only team in town
which admits it is a class A machine,
has succeeded in lining up a few con
flicts and everything is rosy. Al
though old Jup l'luv tried his best to
grab the doings last Sunday, all of
ine teams staged games which were
well attended.
Today is the day, Luxus park the
place, and 3 p. m. the time, when the
nonpareils, champions of Omaha.
will
collide with a constellation nf
stars picked from various teams that
used to make the competition keen
among the class A gladiators. This
team will be known as the All-Stars,
and will consist of some of the best
available talent in this neighborhood
According to the dopesters this quar
rel win De tne Danner attraction
among the local talent this season.
The Nonpareils tip the beams around
the 165-pound mark, while the All
Stars will average about 175 pounds.
Of course, the All-Stars will not be
very handsomely gowned, because
most of them had to borrow their rai
ment, but as they are post-graduates
when it comes to producing pleasan
tries on the gridiron it is presumed
that the fans will not pay much at
tention to the way they will be rigged
out. Although the Nonpareils will
have an advantage in speed and prac
tice, they will find a stone wall
against them that will only be pen
etrable by tricks and forward passes
and the Stars might break them up.
Anyway, t-contest that will make the
Nonpareils and their followers sit up
and blink will probably be the out
come. The lineup:
NONPAREILS. 1 ALL-STARS.

Spauldings Organize.
Riverview park at 3:30 p. m. is
where the Spauldings and the Ger
man Shamrocks will hook up this
afternoon. The Spauldings simply
organized for this offense, the pur
pose being to put a crimp in the
aspirations of the Shamrocks.
At 3:30 p. m. at Ducky Holmes'
park the Nonpareil Reserves and
the Ducky Holmes warriors will
shake paws. Enmity of the sour sort
exists between these two bands, so
a struggle sprinkled with thrills is
looked tor. 10 date the Reserves
have not been defeated, while the ,
Ducks lost one wrangle by the small
margin ot one point.
The Nourse Oil company souad
and the fast Fontenelle Reserves will
hook up at Fontenette park at 3:30 p.
m. These two teams are about evenly
matched, so a warm argument is ex
pected. A preliminary game at the
same park will be played between
the Monmouth Park Reserves and
the Fontenelle Juniors. These two
teams balance the scales at about
140 pounds and they are real speed
merchants on their pedals. This
game is billed for 1 :30 p. m.
Battle on Muny Lot.
A good game is expected by the
followers of the two contingents that
will battle on the municipal lot at
Thirty-second and Dewey avenue this
afternoon. The bout will be between
the Tigers and the Thirty-third and
California Street Merchants. These
two teams have been telling each
other how the war broke out, but
about six bells this evening one side
will always remember how it termin-,
ated.
The Mazdas and Dundee Woolen
Mills will collide at Luxus park at
about 1:30 p. m. this afternoon. These
two teams are real live contenders
for th.e.class B championship. Neither
team has' been defa,tedhy a class B
organization to date. Last Sunday
the Dundee Woolen Mills sidetracked
the Ducky Holmes and the Mazdas
hung the crepe on the Council Bluffs
Midgets. This wrangle will have con
siderable to do with the class B
championship and in all probability
will be a spectacular affair from cur
tain to curtain. This contest will be
the initial mix of a double-header
scheduled at Luxus park. If some
thing does not happen to mar ar
rangements made the Athletics will
play the Council Bluffs Longeways
at Athletic park, Council Bluffs.
Next Sunday a large gathering of
foot ball enthusiasts will undoubtedly
decorate the stands at Luxus park to
witness the tussle between the Non
pareils, champions of Omaha, and the
Boilermakers from Havelock, Neb.
Last season the Havelock aggrega
tion played the Columbians in
Omaha and the contest resulted in
a 7-to-7 tie and as the foreign troupe,
according to the dope, have strength
ened their gang considerably they
will make the Nonpareils travel at a
merry clip in order, to rake in the
groceries.

TITLE HINGES ON
GAME WITH AMES
Victory for Oornhuskers Will
Give Them Championship
of Missouri Valley.
CALEY GOES IN AT CENTEE
By JAMES E. LAWRENCE.
Lincoln, Oct. 28. (Special.) A
Missouri Valley title hinges on the
outcome of the battle next Saturday
afternoon on Nebraska field between
the Huskers and the Ames Ageies.
Ames, by its decisive defeat of Kan.
sas and a tie score with Missouri, has
demonstrated its right to dispute the
championship claims of the Huskers.
Should Dr. Stewart's proteges suc
ceed in trouncing the scrappy eleven
developed by Coach Mayser, Husker
claims for a sixth consecutive cham
pionship would be recognized
throughout the vallev.
Dr. Stewart had no sooner bounced
off the train from Portland before he
instituted a radical shakeup in his
lineup to plug the hole occasioned by
injuries to Moser, the lanky center,
in the Oregon Aggie game.
Caley at Center.
Caley, the lightest and one of the
fleetest men on the squad, for two
years quarterback and halfback, and
in that capacity field general, was
shifted to center He will follow the
new svstem of passing the ball di
rectly to the runner, after calling sig
nals from center, and will follow in
the interference as a safety against
fumbles. It's a decided innovation to
" r

than 150
pounds in the pivotical position on
the line, but Dr. Stewart had demon
strated that he has a stonewall de
fense and yiie rooters are not greatly
worried ovpr the change. Should Ca
ley prove unadapted to center, then
Dr. Stewaift has Cameron, a splendid
center, to fake hi place.
Captain 'Corey's work at end was
such in tlje Oregon game as to
strongly recommend that he be left
in a wing position. The Husker cap
tain proved just as effective on de
fense as offense and was especially
brilliant in forward passing. Rhodes,
who startled the season as a backfield
man, has apparently found a position
at tackle in the place vacated by Co
rey, while Dobson, whose punting and
defensive work were a big feature of
the Oregon game, is a fixture in the
backfield.
i Stiff Week Ahead.
The coming week will see the stiff
est preparation of the season in an
ticipation of a smashing battle with
the Annes warriors. Coach Mayser
has apparently developed the strong
est team representing the Aggies in
the last six years. In weight the
Huskers will have a decided ad
vantage both on the line and in the
backfield, but Ames boasts of an at
tack which lugs a punch, while the
two ends have been able to smother
any attempts to circle the Aggies'
wings, it is practically a veteran or
ganization which is representing
Ames. The Aggies had Nebraska
whipped last year until the final quar
ter, when Coach Stiehm turned the
tide of battle by sending in a fresh
array of players.
For the first time this year the
Huskers expect to face a team which
has demonstrated its ability to play
the open game. Owing to the con
stant changes and the new style of
play the Huskers have been retarded
in rounding into full speed, but by
next Saturday Nebraska should be in
shape to offer its full strength.
Jimmy Gardiner, the former Omaha
High school star, has a little score
to settle with Aldrich, the fleet-footed
backfield star of the Aggies. Aldrich
as a Sioux City High school plaver
and captain, has bucked Gardiner for
five consecutive years oil the girdiion.
Gardiner's teams have carred off most
of the laurels in the encounters. The
two are close friends, but there is a
lot of friendly rivalry on the grid
iron. The Huskers may take another trip
to the coast next fall, but it will not
be to play against the Oregon Ag
gies. Athletic Manager Reed and
Coach Stewart had an offer of a two
year contract with Coach Dobie's
eleven at the University of Washing
ton. Dobie has a record of ten years'
of unbroken success on the girdiron
and he thinks he can turn the trick
against the Huskers. The Nebraska
athletic board will consider the
proposition at its meeting riext month,
but Chancellor Avery indicated that if
any game was scheduled ft would
have to be on the grounds of the
universities. The contract calls for
a game on the coast in 1917, with one
in Lincoln the following year.
There isn't any chance that the
Huskers will journey east this fall
to meet one of the strongest elevens
in the east as indicated in press dis
patches from Boston. Nebraska has
the hardest schedule she has ever

laced and by the time it is com
pleted, Dr. Stewart wants to turn his
attention to other branches of sport.
Omaha Girls New
Tennis Champions
Playing clever tennis throughout,
Elizabeth Ringwalt defeated Esther
M. Smith in straight set, 7-5, 6-2, 6-2,
and thereby won first rank in singles
competition at Brownell Hall for the
year.
Pairing with Emily Burke in dou
bles, Miss Smith was more fortunate.
Here she and her partner swept the
hoards and obtained the champion
ship by defeating Virginia Pixley and
Mary Morsman in the finals. Like
the singles, this match went through
trschhaum
In all a man's wardrobe what is there that adorns him
better than his evening clothes provided they are correct
in fit and fashion? And why should he violate the usages
of custom and good taste by appearing at an evening func
tion in street dresd when Kirschbaum Evening Clothes
superbly cut and tailored may be had for such moderate
prices as $25, $30, $35 and $40?
Simmon., Howard DeLamatre,
to right: Auxier, B. Allwine,
straight sets,
6-2, 6-3.
These girls won the right to enter
the finals only after defeating a num
ber of rival contestants. Each year
the entry list at Brownell is a
lengthy one, and the struggle for su
premacy is keen.
Especial interest to Omaha people
attaches to the fact that all of the fi
nalists this year, both in singles and
doubles, are residents of the city. This
is in spite of the fact that practically
50 per cent of the enrollment at Brow
nell consists of out-of-town girls.
Not Much Damage Looked For.
Knockout Brown and Buck Cruise
are going to fight. We don't look for
any great amount of damage, 1 but
there'll be some sore knuckles after
the scrap.

OMAHA FIVE WILL
PLAY jNTODRNEY
Brandeis Quintet to Again
Enter in National Basket
Ball Tournament.
PAUL SHIELDS IS SIGNED
The Brandeis basket ball quintet,
champions of Omaha last year, will
again enter in the tournament an
nually staged by the Amateur Ath
letic union, to determine the basket
ball championship of the United .
States.
The Brandeis five hasn't won the
championship of Omaha yet, but
they confidently expect to and even
if they don't intend to take part in
the country-wide fracas anyhow.
Last year the local team played in
the national tourney at Chicago.
They won the first round game, but
lqst to the San Francisco Olympics
whom they had previously defeated
on the Omaha "Y" floor. This year,
however, the lineup is much stronger
and Jake Isaacson, manager of the
team, is one who is confident the
locals will have the fastest amateur
quintet in - the country thii year.
Strengthened by Virg Rector at
center and Hoppert and Ernie Adams
to play with Burkenroad at the for
ward positions," insists Isaacson, "w
can beat anything that comes this
way." i
Teams Seek Games.
A number of teams have already
written Isaacson, seeking games with
the Brandeis crew on the local floor.
The Illinois Athletic club wants
contest. Plans are already under way
for a big game between Nebraska
Wesleyan and the Brandeis at the
mnny Auditorium, and several
other teams have applied for dates.
Nebraska City wants the Brandeis to
go down there for i combat.
Warren Ritchie, who will captain
the Brandeis again this year, has
signed another crack, who should add
strength to the five. He it Paul
Shields, former South High and Uni
versity of Nebraska star. Shieldi wat
a whale at Nebraska and should make
a corking guard to help Ritchie and
Bob Koran.
