Sioux City Magnate Says Des

Break Up "League.
MAY BRING CHARGES
Sioux City, la., Dec. 3. (Special.)
Attempts to wreck the Western
base ball leaeue through unfair and
uncalled for publicity on -the part 0fJ
Frank Isbell is the accusation made
against the Des Moines magnate by
President Edward Hanlon of the
Sioux City club, in a statement here
last night, Hanlon ajso accuses two
other ciub owners) but does not men
tion their names.
The locaf magnate declares IsbeM's
part in the affair was for the ex
press purpose of bringing about the
downfall of Frank Zehrung of Lin
coln, president of the league, Hanlon
declares that Isbell and the other two
club owners managed to get Zehrung
into a room in a New Orleans hotel
last month and demanded his resigna
tion." Hanlon savs Zehrung was told
by Isbell that the league's club own-
j: :-J ...111. .: 1
crs were uiasausiicu wim 111111 aim
waited him to resign. This Zehrung
refused to do.
Hanlon also accuses Isbell of giv
ing publicity to the -effecttht- the
league was going on the rocks',' was
a financial failure and that there was
no money in the treasury since Tip
O'Niell was deposed as president.
"The reason there is no money in
the treasury," says Hanlon, "is be
cause Frank Isbell failed to pay his
dues, and up until a few weeks ago
owed the league $800. Isbell has
tried to undermine President Zemtung
ever since he has been in office. In
this he has been assisted by certain
other members of the league. I know
that a certain letter was put into the
hands of the National commission
prior -to the New Orleans meeting.
"If Isbell continues to slander the
Western league," ', says Hanlon,
"Zehrung will be instructed to. call a
meeting at which Mr.- Isbell's charges
will be taken up and investigated and
action taken to check him. I am
tired of the underhanded methods
being used to get 'Tjp' O'Neill back
in office." " .
Northwestern and
- Ohio State Are Not
Much Sought -After
Chicago, Dec. 3. Ohio State uni
versity, winner of the 1916 champion
ship of -the Big Nine conference, failed
to obtain games with either Min
nesota or Chicago when he foot ball
schedule for the 1917 season was
tentatively adopted at the annual
meeting of the foot ball coaches and
athletic directors of the western con
ference here last night.
Neither was Northwestern, runner
up to Ohio State, awarded games
with Wisconsin or Minnesota. Prac
tically the only upset in the 1917 pro
gram was the dropping of Indiana by
Chicago. Coach A. A. Stagg of Chi
cago declined to grant Ohio State a
game and Coach Harry L. Williams
of Minnesota said it was impossible
for Minnesota to play at Columbus.
The 1917 schedule as drawn vill be
practically the same as last year.
Ellison Winner

At Omaha Gun Club
Frank Ellison captured the turkey
event at the Omaha Gun club yester
day.
Over a dozen geese and ducks were

duck, Chris Christensen, one goose
and one duck; J. T. Hollingsworth,
one duck; Ray Kingsley, three geese;
John Reagon, three ducks; Al Koyen
of Fremont, two ducks and one

When You Have a Cold.
It is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate the good qualities
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Frank Crocker, Pana, III., writes:
"Our 5-year-old son Paul caught a
severe cold last winter that settled on
his lungs and he had terrible cough
ing spells. We were greatly worried
about him as the medicine we gave
him did not help him in the least. A
neighbor spoke so highly of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy that I got a bot
tle of it. The first dose benefited him
so much that I continued giving it to
him until he was cu.cd." Adv.

Davy Fultz Says
Players' Fraternity
Continues to Grow
New York, Dec. 3. In his annual
report to the directors of the Base
Ball Players' fraternity, President
David L. .Fultz states that the organi
zation, which has completed its fourth
year, continues to grow in strength
and is demonstrating its ability to ac
complish benefits for its members.
Although two of the major league
clubs Philadelphia and Cleveland
Americans are not in the fraternity
and the Chicago American club play
ers have shown a lack of interest, the
organization has a large representa
tion and is stronger than ever in all
the other major league clubs, Fultz
isserts. '
In the minor leagues, according to
President Fultz, the fraternity has
made more rapid strides. Three class
AA clubs Baltimore, -Indianapolis
and San Francisco are not in the
organizations, but membership of the
others is increasing rapidly. Every
club in the Southern association is
represented with entire strength, ex
cept the Mobile club, while there is
room for improvement in the mem
bership from the Western league.
The return of a number of Federal
league players increased the active
membership considerably during the
last season and the total enrollment
consists of 1,215 members.
. President Fultz, states that, ac
cording to reports made to him, play
ers have been forbidden to join the
fraternity from the Philadelphia
Americans, Indianapolis and Denver
clubs, and adds if this is true all three
clubs have violated the fraternity
agreement which says that there shall
be no discrimination against fraternity
members.
Notre Dame-Stars

New Creighton Gym

eleven, and Coach Mills had an outing
together at the Creighton gymnasium
Wednesday. Almdst the whole-Notre
Dame team, except those lugging too
serious injuries, also stopped off for
a visit 10 inc vreignion gy"Y
The Creighton eleven acquitted it
self very satisfactorily on the gridiron
this year. The first game of the sea
son with the alumni resulted in the
score of 9 to 0 in favor of the team,
Mills found a quarterback for his
team- that day, when Long played
with the alumni. On October 14 the
strong aggregation from Wesleyan
went down to defeat, 14 to 0. The fast
Dubuque college players held the
varsity to a 6 to 6 score October 21
and the next week the representatives
from Denver university succeeded in
carrying off the honors by a score of
19 to 13, but on November 4 Creigh
ton jorneyed to St. Louis and came
away victors by a score of 20 to 0.
On November 11 the representatives
of Friends university, Wichita, were
defeated by a score of 34 to 0. High
land Park of Des Moines held the
local men to a 0 to 0 score on Novem

CENTRAL TO HAVE

Mulligan Lines Up Stiff Sched
ule, Including Sioux City,
Lincoln and St. Joe.
THREE VETERANS RETURN
With the foot ball season over.
Coach Mulligan of Central High is
busy lining up a strong basket ball
schedule for this season. The follow
ers of the local team will be treated
to a high grade of basket ball and a
lot of it this year. Lincoln, Beatrice,
Sioux City, St. Joseph, Fort Dodge,
and University Place will be some of
the big games on the schedule. The
athletic board of the Sioux City
High school voted a short time ago
to abolish basket ball but the student
body will probably influence them to
change their mind. Sioux City has
always put out a successful team and
has plenty of good material this year.
Two games will probably be played
with Lincoln) Beatrice and Sioux
City. Athletic Manager C. A. Cairns
talked with Coach Reese of Lincoln
when the latter was in Omaha last
Friday concerning the exact dates
for the two games with Lincoln.
Omaha High wants the games on
February 3 and -24, the first game to
be played here. Beatrice High will
be played on January 20, one of the
early dates on the schedule. Provid
ing a game is played at Sioux City
a place will be found on the schedule
to play Fort Dodge. Fort Dodge
cannot offer a large enough guaran
tee to cover expenses from Omaha
but it is thought they could be
played.the night following the Sioux
City game February 10.
Play at St. Joseph.
St. Joseph Central High will be
played at St. Joseph on March 3, and
the annual state basket ball tourna
ment at Lincoln will take place dur
ing the middle of March. The, first
game of the season will probably be
played with Creighton High school
on January 13, providing the latter
organize a team. South High and
University Place will be put in the
open dates.
A strong team is looked for this
year with three regulars left from the
squad last year, several likely, looking
substitutes, and a few players coming
from other schools. Captain Jesse
Patty, Floyd Paynter, and Gene Max
well, last year's regulars, and Clyde
Smith will form the nucleus for a
fast team. "Turk" Legan, an all
state man last year, is still serving
for Uncle Sain on the border and the
chances of him coming back during
the basket ball season are small. His
loss will be sorely felt, since has was
a hard worker antf an all-around man
on the court.
Golfers at Happy
Hollow Refuse to
Retire for Winter
Old Man Boreas will have to be
batting a thousand before Happy
Hollow club golfers will consent to
retirement for the winter. The Happy
Hollow crowd hasn't quit vet. as
Charley Johnston's attendance figures
will testily. '
The last week in November 318
golfers played over the Happy Hol
low course. On Thanksgiving day
eighty-four players were out, and yes
terday sixty-lour went over the
course.
They've been shooting some good
scores, too. In the last three days
Bryce Crawford shot an 85, Cliff Sad
dler an 86, B. H. Meile an 85, Jim
Fitzgerald an 86, and Bob Crawford
a 76.
The course is in good shape and
Johnston is permitting play on all of
the permanent greens, except No. 11".

About Constitpation.
Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand, raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat

bowels. When the bowels are badly

OMAHA BOWLERS
' LOAFING ON JOB
Fail to Practice Faithfully and
Fall Down in St, Louis
Tournament.
RUSH ON NEW ALLEYS
With the annual Middle West
tournament now merely history, Oma
ha bowlers can turn their attention to
affairs of local interest. No large
.tournaments are carded until after the
holidays, this being the International
classic, which is held in Minneapolis
every year during the month of Feb
ruary. While the big northern meet
is a splendid tournament, Omaha pin
men have never patronized it to any
great extent, it being their contention
that the Middle West and the Amer
fcan Bowling congress were about all
they could attend in a season. How
ever, one or two teams usually at
tend and one season four teams made
the trip, this being the year in which
the American Bowling congress met
in Buffalo, N. Y., too far east for
Omaha entries.
The local cracks did not fare so
well this year at St. Louis as they
have in former tournaments. None of
the teams rolled good totals and only
two two-man teams and four indi
viduals will draw down any cash
prizes. The reasons for this poor
showing are well known and the St.
Louis failure will prove an awakening
for the high-class pinmen who have
formerly capably held up Omaha's
reputation as a strong bowling center.
A lack of interest has been displayed
this season, especially by the stars,
and this indifference has spread to the
younger bowlers, who endeavor to
copy after their superiors in the
game. This has caused little or no
practice, low scores and averages
being the consequence. The opening
Over the
201-3 South
Drawn for
of the new Omaha alleys on Harney
street is sure to cause a revival of in
terest. It is a proven fact that more
alleys means more interest and more
bowlers, and works to the advantage
of all. even competitive alleymen.
The new alleys were scheduled to
open Thanksgiving day, but reverses
were met with in the construction of
the building. The obstacles now have
been removed and, with a doubled
working force, the interior is being
rushed to completion. No definite day
has been announced, but from all ap
pearances the bowlers can expect the
grand opening most any time. No
definite plans for the opening have
been made, but Manager "Dad" Hunt
ington is formulating plans for a big
sweepstakes tournament and will
probably have something definite to
report as soon as the opening date is
known..
Alley managers already report a
general upheaval of interest in the
game and the bowling wiseacres are
laying the blame of the recent lull to
the excitement of the fall elections.
Bowling Notes.

INJURY CLAUSE IN
ELAYERSCONTRACT
New Pact Drawn Up Provides
That They Be Paid lf'They
Suffer Hurts.
STATEMENT BY HERRMANN
Chicago, Dec. 3. Base ball players
in the American and National leagues
if injured on the field will get their
salaries in full until the expiration of
their contract, according to a new
form of contract adopted tonight at
a special meeting of the National
Base ball commission. ,
Under the old contract club owners
uyere obliged to pay injured players
for only fifteen days, and at the end
of that time could dismiss them.
"However, that was not usually v,
the case despite the charges of David ; n
Fultz, president of the Base Ball i
Players fraternity," said August H;f
Herrmann, president of the Cincin-
nati Nationals and chairman, of the, ,
commission. v v
"Ml; Fultz has charged that the
contracts were unfair to players who
had been injured, as he alleges, in cer
tain cases, they were not compensat
ed. The charge is groundless. The
commission, 1 minx, lias gone lurtncr ,s
than -Mr. Fultz had hoped. The new ,
contract means that a player, if in- (,
jured, will be paid in full and the con-
tract cannot under the circumstances ,
be terminated until it expires.
The clause under which a player
can be dismissed after receiving ten
were retained in the new contract, "
only minor other changes. The op
tional clause provides that a player
can be held under reserve if sent to
a minor league.
