THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: FEBRUARY 18, 1917.
ROURKE WILL PAY
FARE FOR PLAYERS
Omaha Magnate Will Send
Transportation Cost from
Home to Omaha.
IS BIO ISSUE OP STRIKE
To Try Cross-Continent Flight
I?, r y Aft.
If all minor league magnates fol
lowed the policy of Pa Rourke, owner
of the Omaha Base Ball club, Davy
Ftiltz' threatened strike would last
about as long as Antwerp when the
kaiser, started his parade through Bel-
B'm- . ' . .
The paramount issue, which
brought on all the war talk, concerns
payment of transportation of the ath
lete from his winter home to the city
where he has signed to play ball dur
ing the warm season. The National
Association of Minor Leagues at its
fall meeting at New Orleans decided
to trim expenses by refusing to pay
these transportation costs. It was
this decision which prompted Fultz
to sever all diplomatic relations with
the minors and call a general strike,
including one of a sympathetic nature
by the big show entertainer. The
players have a couple of other griev
ances, but they were merely advanced
for good measure, the transportation
issue being the pre-eminent squawk.
When Pa Rourke sends out hi eon
tracts this week he will make bis usual
agreement to pay each athlete's trans
portation from his home town to
Omaha. Rourke has always paid these
transportation charges, believes the
player is entitled to them and says
he will always do so, no matter what
the decision of his fellow magnate in
misery.
Is Considerable Sum, .
This item of transportation cuts
considerable ice in the operating ex
pense of a ball club. Omaha, of coarse,
is centrally located and a coople of
thousand miles is the longest jour
ney one of Pa's hirelings can make.
Bat it cost quite a chunk of money
for Pa Rourke to bring Harry
Knrose, for instance, to Omaha from
San Francisco. It will cost Pa at least
$1,200, perhaps $1,500, transportation
costs this spring and ,Pa is fortunate
in that Marty OToole, Cecil Thomp
son, Cy Forsyth e, Harold Irelan and
a couple of others are living in Omaha
this year. Pa's generosity is just like
catting off $1,500 of his own prof'
ha providing, of coarse, there are
any profits because he doesn't hare
to pay these coats unless he wants to.
I have always paid transportation
tor the boys," said Roarke. "I al
ways received mine when I was a
player and I really believe the player
is entitled to it I, for one, intend to
pay it."
Slap For Friend Wife.
The Omaha magnate, however,
will stop his generosity with the
player. Heretofore many athletes
traveling in double harness have
sought transportation for themselves
and their wives and their leanest
were always granted. Bat Roarke
has decided friend wife n not a part
of the ball dob and wtu not cough
up expense money for her in the
future.
How the other Western league
owners regard this transportation is
sue is not known. Some of them
probably will follow Roarke s ex
ample and pay tljese expenses as m
the past, while one or two or per
haps more of the other will take ad
vantage of the new association raring
and save this ennsr sum of change.
Roarke will send his contracts oat
this week. He is just thirty days be
hind his usual program. Dub owners
are given until March 1 to dispatch
their contracts, but Rourke has al
ways sent his out about the middle
of. January. Conditions have been
such this year, however, that the
Omaha mogul delayed sending out
the ' pi en ions parchments an entire
month
- No Trouble Expected,
No difficulties with the athletes are
anticipated by Rourke. Only a couple
of the veterans will have to submit
to cuts over last year's stipend and
if they refuse to accept their terms
Fa will not worry greatly, as their
shoes will not be hard to fill With
the exception of Carrie, Brottem and
Pratt, all of the new men are coming
to Omaha from leagues of lower
classification, have not been eligible
' to membershio m the Players' fra
ternity and the salaries they win re
ceive in the western league will, ot
course, be larger than they received
on their former jobs.
Carrie. Brottem and Pratt have aU
been sounded out and are expected
to sign. Roarke wrote Carrie a letter
and the pitcher's only objection in
volved transportation. Rourke replied
by stating he always paid transporta
tion and would, of course, do so for
Currie. Brottem and Pratt also sw-
' nified satisfaction over their transfer
to Omaha.
So fans do not expect Roarke to
have any financial squabbles with his
athletes. A couple of the vets may
roar and threaten, bat it is expected
thev will eventually fall into line and.
If they don't, nobody will be greatly
concerned over it as there will prob
ably be a lot of talent loose about
April 1.

DISPUTE NOT TXT SETTLED
The South High school basket ball
team defeated the Central High
school tesm Friday night by the ap
parent score of 33 to 32. At the close
of the contest Coach Harold Mulli
gan of the Central five challenged the
score, and Referee Bob Hager de
clared the result open, pending a
conference of officials. Coach Patton
of the South team claims the game
and say be will carry the argument
to the Nebraska State Athletic asso
ciation if necessary.
Captain Corr of the Souths started
the scoring by placing the first bas
ket, which was quickly followed by
Graham, star forward. Before five
minutes had elapsed the latter haa
added up a total of six goals and
the Packers were fn the lead, 14 to 0.
First Half the Fastest
Bv a whole lot the first half was,
the fastest, although the usual dash
and brilliancy of play died down to
regular Business long perore me
half was completed. Captain Patty
shot a free throw, the first point of
the Central five, on the sixth minute.
A series of clever maneuvers in which
the Smrth-Logsn-Konecky combina
tion figured, brought a bunch of four
baskets. rat halt ended with the
score 16 to 11 in favor of the South
athletes.
Central came back with spirit in the
second half, and established early a
lead, which was maintained until five
minutes before the close of the half.
Bitlv Graham initiated another mill
and, with the ever ready Wilson and
urr at nis neeis, a series oi six cas
kets were piled up. A minute before
the half ended Central led by four
points. Corr and Graham brought
home the bacon with a basket each in
time and when time was called the
score stood 30 to 30, tie.
Argument Is Started.
A five-minute continuation was au
thorized. Party threw a basket which
was soon followed by a free throw
by Corr, At the last moment, when
the ball was in the air, the whistle
blew. The timekeeper had not fin
ished sounding when the ball snapped
through the ring. Hager held up two
fingers as 1,000 frantic rooters rushed
pell-mell onto the floor. The game
was over.
An arirament amons officials lmme-
dratehr ensued. Referee rlasrer de.
dared he bad not heard the whistle
and had not called the game until
Timekeeper Hahn tapped him on the
shoulder. He left the argument to
the timekeeper, who declared that the
basket counted. Later it was decided
to settle the matter at a conference
of officials.
Beat of the Season.
Above and beyond all the game was
the fastest seen this season on the
South floor. One thing marred the
smooth work of each five. Kay Wu
son, lithe forward, who had entered
the game suffering from a lever, col
lapsed soon after the opening of the
second half snd had to be removed
from the play. Patton sent in Jack
uswaid to take nis place.

England stepper. The eastern horse's
owner, J. W. Linnehan of Weymouth,
Mass.. not long since urea a Droaa-
sides challenge that he had 1,000
ducats to wager on a match race be
tween his favorite and any of the New
England steppers over a half-mile
track, best three out of five heats.
Mr. Dennison says he will be only
too glad to match R. C H. against
M. L. I. for the $1,000 if the New
tngland man will bring his racer back
here. The local promoters will pay
the express charges for M. L. J.s
journey to the scene ot the possible
hostilities at Benson. M. L. J. went
a mile over the once-around track at
Lexington last fall in 2:05 K Omaha
horsemen are keen to see if Mr. Den
nison s' defi will be accepted.
Though several months distant, lo
cal devotees of the harness game are
already looking forward to the spring
meeting at Benson on June 12, 13 and
14. Ibese races on the Nebraska
Speed association loop will be under
the auspices of the Omaha Driving
xuu, waicn nas taiten over an narness
racing interests in Omaha. The Great
Western circuit meeting will be
staged at the Benson course in
August- All of the driving club's
equipment is being moved bodily to
the new suburban racing plant Otis
M. Smith, secretary of the driving
dab, has completed rmal arrange
ments for the transfer.
Slated for Grand Circuit
E. C Warren of Shelton. owner of
Heir Reaper,, credited with having
trotted the fastest mile ever stepped
in Nebraska, is planning on sending
this champion over the Grand circuit
this season.- Marvin Ltnlds is signed
up to handle the reins. Heir Reaper
stepped a mile in 2:114 at Fremont
last year and has a record of 2:11
over a mile track.
The E. D. GouM stables at Kearnev
ushered a royal string back into the
home camp last week when Biiigen
Silk, 2:075a, a 3-year-old trotter who
created, a sensation in the east, to
gether with six other record-makers,
arrived from Indianapolis, after being
on the road seven days. The son of
Buieen, z-.Uby,. is tn nne shaoe. hav
ing suffered no ill effects as a result of
his long journey. Mr. Gould said that
mngen bilk will be retired from the
track and in the future used exclu
sively for breeding purposes. A
brand new stable has been erected for
the stsr that made the eastern turf-
ment sit up and take notice.
Advices to lorn Dennison last week
were that few California horses will
be seen in action on, the middle west
ern turf this season. The Golden
State has several good circuits of its
own now and offers the western
horseman a long racing season.
Hence, probably, most of the far
westerners will turn em in their
back yards this year.

ond meeting of the season, at which

Sixty High Schools Send En

,to Manager Heed.
EUSKERS ON TRIP EAST
By JAMES E. LAWRENCE.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 17. (Special.)
Nebraska high schools entering the
annual Nebraska high school basket
ball tournament under the auspices of
the University of Nebraska have but
one week more to comply with the
regulations governing the big floor
meet in filing their tormal spolia
tions with Manager of Athletics Guy
E. Reed.
One hundred and fifty-two high
schools indicated they would send
teams to the tournament and sent
their formal requests for entry blanks
to Reed. Sixty of that number have
sent all of the desired information
which Reed needs to arrange the clas
sifications of teams. Entries close
next Saturday night, but all letters
mailed up until Saturday mgnt win
be accepted.
Some 6f the other schools have sent
in formal entries, but these have been
sent back because of lack of complete
information on the season s record,
the playing experience of the teams
and other data all of which is to be
considered when the committee gets
down to the job of classifying the
contestants in the three different di
visions. Manager Reed calls attention to the
fact that the season's record must be
given in full; the experience of each
member of the team; the size of the
town and of the floor played upon
in that town; the number of students
in school and tournament experience.
Board on Job.
Reed announced this week the
board of control of the Nebraska
High School . Athletic association, or
ganized a year ago, will serve as the
committee on adjustments during the
tournament to. , decide any disputes
which may arise. The board of con
trol includes Superintendent Littell
of Cambridge, Superintendent Sho
walter of Norfolk, Principal King of
Beatrice and Principal Congdon of
Fremont
Secretary Showafter of the board
of control will serve as chairman of
the committee on drawing and sched
ules. Incidentally Reed mentions
only member of the high school as
sociation can compete in the tourna
ment next year.
Officials for the tournament games
will be recruited from the ranks of
Husker basket bad players. The of
ficiating of the Husker players has
been very satisfactory during the last
three years, Reed says, and the high
schools have been very glad to have
them serve.
The Armstrong Clothing company
of Lincoln is again presenting a hand
somely engraved silver loving cup to
the winner of the class A games. For
class L the T. h. Wilson Sporting
Goods company of Chicago will give
a silver loving cup. The class B cup
has not been announced.
In addition the Nebraska Athletic
board will give gold basket balls to
the members of the championship five
in each division and appropriate ban
ners to the second place winners in
each class.
Consolation Tourney.
Manager Reed said today that if the
floor space can be found to stage the
games a consolation tournament will
be staged for those high school teams
which go out on the first round.
There will be winners' prizes awarded
the consolation tournament the
same as in the other divisions if the
board is able to complete the arrange
ments. ,
The Husker baset ball five starts
next week on an eastern swing for
games against two Missouri Valley
conference members. On Thursday
and Friday of this week the Huskers
play Ames at Ames and on Saturday
night wiu stack up against the Drake
five. The teams in the eastern cir
cuit are apparently not so strong as
those in the southern half of the con
ference and the Huskers should not
encounter much difficulty in making
it a clean sweep ot the series. Both
Ames and Drake come to Lincoln for
games on the local floor later in the
season.
During the week the Husker wresf
ling team will also journey to Iowa
City for the annual wrestling tourna
ment between the Hawkeyes and the
Huskers. Iowa does not appear to
be so strong in wrestling as last year
and fell an easy victim before the
Ames Aggies.
With the exception of Captain
Otoupalik, the members of the Ne
braska team have not been picked.
Otoupalik will represent the Huskers
in the light heavyweight class, where
he is without an equal in the middle-
west

New York, Feb. 17. That moun
tain of flesh, Carl Morris, has come
here for the purpose of sizing up Ful
ton and Weraert and perhaps having
bis manager spout a challenge or two.
Since Carl easily defeated Levinsky
out west (he weighs only fifty or sixty
pounds more than the msnmanj
shares in Morris, preferred, had
shown a slight upward tendency.
Morris is "mentioned" as some one
who might exchange punches with the
redoubtable less Willard.
But don't worry, Jess I Unless Carl
stumbles and falls on you, you are
perfectly safe.
TWENTY-ONE TO NINETEEN
National Singles Will
Be Started On August 30
New York. Feb. 17. According to
official announcement Thursday, Au
gust 30, has been selected as the open
ing day of the national singles tennis
championship tournament to be held
at the West Side club. Forest Hills,
Long Island. The officer of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
association state that an effort is to
be made this year to group the big
tournaments so that players may
compete for the national doubles
championship and the national sin
gles championship in the shortest
period that can be allotted and do
justice to both events. As the dou
bles championship is to be decided
in one tournament to be held at
Longwood, it is felt that such an ar
rangement will find favor, particu
larly with players from the sooth and
middle west who might not care to
spend the time that a long campaign
around the tennis circuit involves.
Connie Mack's Son Will
Try His Hand at Managing
Earl Mack, hopeful son of the fa
mous Connie, is going to try his hand
at the managerial game again. He
has been named to lead the Charlotte
team of the North Carolina league.
Mack managed the Raleigh team in
the same league in 1914 and 1915 and
last season played first base for Asbe-
vuie.

Lawrence, Kan., Feb. 17. (Special
Telegram.) The Nebraska Corn
huskers slipped up on the Jayhaw
kers Friday night by winning the
first of a two-game series, 21 to 19.
The game was close from the start
to finish, but lacked the finished ap
pearance of a conference game. Both
teams played a strong defensive game,
depending upon long shots for points.
The Cornhuskers excelled in the
guarding, holding the Jayhawker
forwards to five goals in the entire
game. The Nebraska forwards had
better lock hitting the basket from
the field.
Kansas started scoring in the first
moment of play on Laslett's goal
from the corner of the court. Camp
bell tied the score a moment later
with a long shot The two teams
played hard and rough for the re
mainder of the period, Nebraska
leading at the end of the half, 7 to 6.
In the second half Kansas took
the lead holding it until near the
end of the game. The JayhaWkers
showed a poor brand of basket ball
in the entire game. Coach Hamilton
sent in three substitutes, but they
proved ineffective. Campbell, right
forward, and Riddell, guard, starred
for the visitors. Campbell made nine
points while Riddell played a strong
game at guard. Urhlaub was the star
of the Kansas team. The last game
of the series will be played here to
morrow night
Minors to Play Ball Just
The Same if War Comes
Newark, N. J., Feb. 17. All of the
International league base ball clubs
were represented at the schedule
meeting here today. The league play
ing schedule for 1917 was adopted,
but it will not be made public until
February 26. The pennant season will
consist of 112 games, opening April 17.

President Barrow said the league
toot no action in reference to the
Base Ball Players' Fraternity, but
added that this was a matter of which
the officials of the National asso
ciation would take charge. He also
said that in case of the United States
becoming involved in war, the under
standing was that all minor leagues
would open the season as usual and
the question of suspending play would
be decided later.

FIELD
M
By PETER P. CARNEY.
Probably the greatest revision in
the rules ot the Interstate Associa
tion for the Encouragement of Trap-
shooting, made at the recent annual
meeting was the one to permit the
sanctioning ot trapshootmg tourna
ments on Sunday.
This change was made at the ur
gent solicitation of the trapshooters
of those sections where the "blue
laws" do not exist. In many of the
states west of the Ohio river, bun
day is the big day for sporting events
and with the Interstate association
for many years refusing to register a
tournament on the Sabbath hundreds
of the western trapshooters failed to
appear in the official averages of the
Interstate association said averages
onlv carrying the names of the shoot
ers who shoot at 2,000 or more regis
tered targets during the season.
Now this all is changed. The trap-
shots on the Pacific coast seldom
ever broke into the averages under
the old rules of the Interstate asso
ciation, but under the new ruling they
expect to break in in a very forceful
manner. Many nlaces where the gun
clubs held club shoots registered
tournaments will now be held, as
trapshooters will come out for regis
tered tournaments in the western
states on Sunday as thickly as their
fellow shooters in the east do on Sat
urday. The revision of this rule
should go a great way in encouraging
trapshooting in the cities and states
where sports are not affected by the
ancient blue laws.

Cahn on three blocks and Symes
stands 500 to Cahn's 427 for two
blocks.
Symes and Cahn play the third

ing extremely interesting to billiard
fans.
