MARKED CHANGES SCHEDULED
POR THE DICKERSON CIRCUIT
BEFORE 1918 SEASON STARTS

Entire Western League, May Drop Back to Class B;

The Western league u scheduled for some marked changes
before the opening gun of the 1918 season is fired.
Reports from several sources, believed to be authentic, in
dicate that the long-expected rectification of the leagues and
redistribution of the cities will come this winter.
Is such if the case, no matter what?
occurs, the Western league is bound
to be affected.
According to reports, changes roust
be made in the International and
American association. Class AA
leagues. With the exception of
Toronto, Providence and Baltimore,
it is said, all of the International
clubs have lost money while Indian
apolis, Louisville and Columbus are
the only clubs in the association
which finished the season without
costing their owners something.
TALK THIRD MAJOR.
Ban Johnson, it is said; has reached
the decision that it is time for the
formation of a third major league.
Johnson foi jeveral years has said a
third major is bound to come.
If a third bitr league is organized.
Providence, Baltimore, Toronto, Buf
faloNewark, UJlvmous, inaianapous
and of Louisville probably would be
given franchises.
This would leave gaps in both the
International and American associa
tion, and the latter loop would prob
ably get its new territory from the
Western. , ,
Even though the third major is not
formed, however, it is the belief that
new groups must be found for both
the International and American asso
ciation. ...
Base ball men have openly and pub-
licly declared it is llieir conviction that
two new CIj-ss AA leagues should be
organized. One would consist of
Providence, Baltimore, Toronto. Buf
falo, Newark, Columbus, Indianapolis
and Louisville, the same cities which
would probably be given franchises
s in the third major should it be
formed. '
This group, it Is believed, would
make a "strong Class A A circuit of
eight clubs.
' Omaha Goes Up.
Then Omaha, St. Joseph and Des
' Moines could be given franchises in
the American association. .
Such a redistribution of territory
would strengthen not only the Inter
national and American association,
- hut two other leagues. Rochester
and Jersey City. International cities,
could be placed in the New York
State league which wobbled perilous
ly this year. The New York State
does not intend to start next year,
T)ut it could do so if given these two
cities.
A new Western league could be
composed of Lincoln, Joplin, To
peka, Wichita, Hutchinson, Okla
homa City, Tulsa and Muskogee.
Or, Perhaps, Drop. .
This reorganization may not come
because the base ball magnates may
hesitate to make such radical changes,
but even should it fail to come the
Western is slated for a change any
- how. It is scheduled for a drop back
into Class B company. !
s When Kansas City, Minneapolis.
St. Paul and Milwaukee were swiped
from the Western a decade ago, the
base ball powers that be promised
.the Western1 should always retain
Class A ranking.
But the Western league is not a
Class A league. League classifica
tion depends upon the populations of
the cities and Omaha, 'Des Moines,
' Denver and St. Joseph are the only
Class A cities in the loop. Lincoln,
ioplin apd Wichita are Class B and
iutchinjon is Class C
Denver is scheduled for the dis
card next year, so not even half oi
' the Dickerson circuit cities are Class
A. Thus the Western may lose its
. rank. -, ; ' ,.-
But even though nothing happens
to the Western a a league, changes
' 1 in its cities are scheduled, Denver
is a hopeless case and Hash Jones
must move his, franchise Ed Han
Ion, it is said, may have to forsake
St Joseph and Hutchinson looks like
a weak sister. Joplin is nothing to
brag about. '
The base ball season has ended,
but apparently the season's toil for
the magnates is just about to start
Russell Damages Meat -
Hand by Crabbing Ball
Don't use your meat hand to stop
hard hit balls that are batted back at
you. If yon do you may put an end
to your pitching career.
This is the advice Allen Russell,
Yankee spitballer, has to offer brother
members of the pitching fraternity,
. and it is well worth consideration.
- Early this spring Russell reached
, for a hard ball through the box with
- his nude flipper. He got his hand on
the ball and succeeded in retarding
its progress, but immediately after
ward he suffered a sharp pain in the
, first two dgts of his pitching hook,
which was followed by numbness.
Then his hand grew cold and he had
to retire from the gSme.

TUNE OF 100 TOO
Sheltenberg. Kellogg and Day,
Freshman Recruits, Prove
Stars as Nebraska Wins
Opening Game.
Lincoln," Neb., Oct. 6. (Special
Telegram.) Nebraska's foot ball
team played in mid-season form to
day in opening its season, by throne
ing Nebraska Wesleyan university,
100 to 0, the htird largest score ever
piled up by a Husker eleven.
The Huskers scoring Jaggeaut,
with Schallenberg at the throttle,
romped across the Wesleyan goal line
eighteen times, but three times the
officials called back the play.
Nebraska's back field, rejuvenated
by recruits from the freshmen squad,
played brilliant ball. Flashing end
runs of Shallenberg and Kellogg
brought reminders of Chamberlain's
"Sprints to Husker rooters. Five, times
Shallenberg swept around the end
or smashed his way through the line,
shawing off a half dozen Wesleyan's,
for sprints of from twenty to seventy
five yacds, each time for a touch
down. One was disallowed. Coach
Kline's team could not stop the for
mer Beatrice High school lad.
McMahon Out, Too.
Because of injuries, McMahon, who
is touted as the fastest man who ever
donned a suit at the University of
Nebraska, and who has been giving
exhibitions of great open field run
ning, did not get into the game.
The opener sufficed to demonstrate
that Stewart has three great back
field stars in Shallenberg, Kellogg
and Day. The veterans, Cook, Otoup
alik and Dobson also uncorked
a fancy ' exhibtion. Cook reeled off
htwo long runs, one for a touchdown,
while Dobson and Otopaulik were
present with some terrific line
smashes.
The Huskers scored three times in
the first quarter and raised the total to
six touchdowns by adding three more
in the second period. Stewart threw
his reserves into the lineup in the sec
ond half, but the change did not seem
to lessen the force of his scoring ma
chine. Hubka picked up a fumble and
ran for one of the touchdowns in the
third period, while Wilder blocked a
forward pass and repeated the trick a
minute later. The final period netted
the Huskers four more touchdowns.
Kicks Ten Goals.
Munn kicked ten out of fifteen goals.
Shellenberg and Otoupalik were the
main cogs in scoring for Nebraska.
The former reeled off one run for a
touchdown for seventy-five yards, an
other for thirty-two yards, a third for
twenty-seven yards and a fourth for
forty yards. He made twelve long
runs during the game.
Otoupalik also scored five touch
downs, three coming after sprints o',
from ten to fifteen yards.
The Husker interference was work
ing beautifully during the entire game,
while the line played slashing defen
sive battle.
Wesleyan failed to compile a single
first down on straight foot ball and
the Husker goal was never in danger.
, Avery Kicks Off.
Two thousand rooters saw the open
ing game, at which Chancellor Avery
kicked off to Governor Keith Neville.
The chancellor's kick fell short.
Next Saturday the Huskers will
have the first test of the season when
the strong University of Iowa eleven
comes here. .

Jennings Fears 'jpovey"
Is Through in Big Show
- It is an ODen secret that Manaarer
Jennings of the Detroit Americans
doubts whether Harry Coveleskie will
be able to pitch major league ball next
season. Last year the big lefthander
was a star; this year he was almost
worthless. His arm was weak and his
curbe vail and confidence were con
spicuous by their absence.
Lovaleskie passed the oO-year mark
several seasons ago, although he
is ', modest regarding his real age.
But Jennings undoubtedly will take
Covie south and give him another
chance, as he realizes that a come
back is not an impossibility.
