AMATEURS WILL
BE HELPED BY
BUSINESS MEN
Commercial Bodies to Aid in
Carrying Out Plans
Base Bail Teams
Lining Up.
BY WILLIAM O. BLOZIES. '
Omaha's social and commercial
organizations will probably take an
active part in the promotion of ama
teur baseball here this season.
Rumor has it that the Chamber of
Commerce, Rotary club, Omaha
Athletic club and similar organiza
tions, which helped the Municipal
Amateur Base Ball association put
on the big inter-sectional game be
tween the Murphy-Did-Its and the
Gordon-Fergusons of Minneapolis,
will assist the local officials in
carrying out plans during the com
ing season.
When amateur base ball directors
and officials meet this month, rep
resentatives of the various commer
cial bodies will attend and outline
their plans.
Offer Suggestions.
It is understood that members of
these commercial organizations are
strongly in favor of forming the
proposed Midwest Amateur Base
ball association, with headquarters
in Omaha.
A number of suggestions were
also offered last week by several of
Omaha's business men, former base
ball players.
Among the suggestions is a plan
whereby Omaha would be repre
sented by the cream of the city dur
ing the regular scheduled season
and also when they meet in the in-tcr-sectional
contests for world's su
premacy honors.
One of the best suggestions is
that a suitable purse, divided into
first, second and third prizes be put
up in order to keep the Class A men
from jumping their contracts and
. .i rr: i i -j :.u :
iiic leant uicy sic uuuiaicu wuii iu
;a bad hole.
If this purse plan is put through
it is the opinion of these men that
the players will "stick," rather than
go out of town to play plav for $5 or
$10, which many of the teams out in
the state offer the players tor a
single game.
Stop Contract-Jumping.
' "If the association adopts a rul
ing" said one man, "whereby a
player jumps his contract, even with
the consent of the manager, or re
ceives money for his services, the
player as well as the team to which
he belongs would be expelled for
'tfie' entire season, it would put an
end to contract-jumping.
"This would mean better and
faster games, races more interesting
and more friendship between the
teams.
, Another ruling which should be
enforced and adopted is that when
the manager or players, because they
are losing, drop out of the leagues
and put the backers in a hole, as
well as the league, should be barred
from participating with any teams
for a period of three years.
Teams Lining Up.
Manager Mat Pascal of the Union
Outfitting company, city and Class
B champions; announced yesterday
that the Outfitters will be represent
ed in the City league with practi
cally the same lineup as last season,
with the exception of Walter Nufer,
second sacker, and Catcher Gui
notte, who probably will play in the
Rosebud league.
The Townsend Gun company, last
season's champions of the Gate City
league, will be back in the field again
this year with practically the same
outfit and will apply for a franchise
in the Inter-City or Booster league.
Word was received yesterday
from Roy Spencer, well known in
local amateur base ball circles, to
the effect .that he will place a fast
Class B team in the field.
Amateur teams organizing for the
season are requested to get in touch
with the writer either by phone,
Harney 2107, or address him in care

Schissler Predicts
Tough Tussles With
O. 1 TT
onenms noosiers
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 31. (Special.)
Paul Schissler, basket ball coach
of the Cornhuskers, back in the
traces Saturday after a week of ill
ness, predicted the hardest two
games of the season when Nebraska
meets "Jumbo" Stiehm's Hoosiers
here Thursday and Friday nights.
The Hoosiers record for the sea
son is one to be feared. They have
conquered Ohio State and Michigan.
Chicago and Illinois are the only
western conference teams that are
still tn the running with Indiana.
An even break on the two games
is the prediction of Coach Schissler.
He said that he hoped for two vic
tories, but one victory and one de
feat was - not improbable. Coach
, Stiehm is making his first invasion
since he left Nebraska and is de
termined to get the Huskers' scalp,

university athletic department March
4. 5 and 6. are that it will be the big
gest and best ever held and that there
will be more than 15U teams entered,

Paul Schissler, Husker basket ball
coach.
Schissler has already received 128
entries in reply to cards sent out last
Monday. Last year the total number
of teams entered was 120. There are
still" a number of teams from larger
towns and cities in the state that
have not yet been heard from that
will in all probability enter the meet
For this reason it is believed that the
total number of team entries will be
more than 150.
The Lincoln Commercial club and
the university athletic department
are already considering plans for a
better tournament than ever before.
The Cornhusker basket men will
meet Colorado college on March 5
and 6 on the university floor. Colo
rado college is the nly team that has
succeeded in overcoming the Husk
ers this year, having split a series of
two gamej n their home floor a few
weeks ago.
Arrangements are befhar made bv
the athletic authorities to have the
Chicago university wrestling team
meet the Husker matunen here dur
ing the tournament j
The Commercial club will cave a
banquet to 1,500 high school players
during their visit in the city. Plans
are also being made to obtain better
accommodations for the high school
lads than have been afforded them in
previous years. Business men have

business lads from Commerce.
The game was close for the first
five minutes of play, each team be
ing held to a scoreless tie. Captain
Arthur Logan started the fireworks
by placing the initial basket through
the loop. Logan was one of the out
shining twinklcrs for the Purple and
White men.
Art Burnham s sensational shoot
ing was one ot tne teatures ot tne
game. Close guarding and good
passing marked the latter part of
the first period. The whistle blew
with the score at 16-7, Central.
In the early part of the second
period, Mulligan began to send in

sick for the last week and unable to
attend the practice, was sent in for
Captain Logan, whose knee began
to trouble him. The remaining part
ofthe game was spent evenly be
tween the teams. Ackerman, who
was sent in lor tiodgen, played a

THE CHICAGO
ARCHITECTURE is frozen music. The Chicago opera singers have
thawed it out and are busy slinging it at each other.
You can always tell when the opera season cuts loose in Illinois. First
!rou hear a soprano voice knocking off an intermezzo-bawlingoutto, fol
owed by a chorus of police whistles. Then follows a heavy beevotone,
accompanied by an augmented orchestra of ambulance gongs.
On the back of Adams Express company blanks are nimble words
dodging all responsibility for fire, earthquakes, strikes, riots and war.
That's the old blanks. The new blanks include Middle West opera seasons.
In time of war, Chicago was a peaceful bailiwick. The Great Lakes
canoe( flotilla protected 'em from the cruel Hun and the opera stars were
back in their native countries honing up their voices on garlic, limburger
and other ethereal food of dainty songbirds.
" "
But the minute the kaiser slid for Holland, the war started for Chi.
The opera panic was on.
The first guy to run the trachoma blockade at Ellis Island was Signore
Vodka Yellovitch. During the war, the Signore's voice was as silent as a
nickel piano trying to digest a lead slug. Between the Allies and the
Trotzky boys, the Signore was a busy guy trying to keep between 'em. He
carried his betweening too far when he landed in Chicago between a con
tralto and a soprano. The Signore is as gallant as he is talented. He sings
himself into a lady's heart and then bows himself out The lad is also very
crafty. He marries one wife during a republican administration and an
other when the democrats are grabbing the government pay, thus making
a political question out of a felony. Having four or five extra wives in
Russia doesn't annoy the Signore, who falls in love at first sight and then
develops astigmatism.
They chirp that even Carl Mucks is willing to flap back to Boston and
play the "Star Spangled Banner," providing that he is allowed to toot it on
a clockenspiel. America is a great feeding ground for the alien song hawks
who grab their fish here and flap back home to eat 'em.
Thelatest battle started when Mme. Dolorous La Bunk, the great
French bella donna, refused to sing in Italian, because it might affect her
old man's chances of being elected alderman from the Stockyards district.
Her old man's name is Counihan and everybody knew it after the third
drink. He is still living, being one of the few relics of the souseolithic age
of 1918.
Well, it's a great show and Chicago is welcome to 'em. We hand 'em
their opera with the same cheerful unselfishness of the slave handing Cleo
patra the viper. We wish 'em the joy of the worm. Everybody is happy
when the orchestra leader pokes his baton into the cage and the works
bust loose like a zoo around feeding time.
FOUR FAST BOUTS
BOOKED FOR FORT
CROOK ON FRIDAY
One Four-Round and Two
Six-Round Mills CardeU
By Quinlan for the
' Preliminaries.
Four snappy boxing bouts are
scheduled for Fort Crook next Fri
day night.
Johnny Schiff, formerly a mem
ber of the Canadian forces in
France and Jimmy Drexel, Omaha's
favorite will battle ten rounds as the
big event of the evening.
Tommy Fitzgerald, South Side,
and "K. O." Cajlahan, private at
Fort Crook, will go six rounds;
Knockout Roberts of Denver and
Jack Ryan of South Omaha will also
tangle for six, and Battling Bloom
of Fort Omaha, will meet Eddie
Spurley, the fighting newsboy, in a
four-round mill.
These bookings were announced
yesterday by W. J. Quinlan, athletic
director of Fort Crook, who has
charge of the program.
Quinlan said he would probably
have another four-round go to an
nounce later in the week.
The proceeds of the fights are to
go to the post's athletic fund.
The bouts will be held in the En
listed Men's club. Special cars will
be run from Twenty-fourth and N
streets, South Side until 8 o'clock.
Schiff will arrive in Omaha on
Monday to finish training for his
bout with Drexel. In a letter to the
sports editor yesterday Schiff as
sured "all who attend the match
that he will extend his best efforts

Barnes, the Sunset Hill (St. Louis)
golf professional, will not. locate in
the metropolitan district this ' sea
son, but will be back on his St.
Louis job, according to reports from
tnat city.
ine directors ot the club held a
meeting at which it not only has de
cided to ask Barnes to remain with
the club through 1920, but to send
him abroad to compete in the Brit
ish open championship, there to
represent the city of St. Louis.
JMo contract was signed at the
meeting, the report continues, but
an agreement was entered into, said
to involve a larger salary than the
lanky, long-hitter received last year.
There was Some objection to having
Barnes go abroad, thereby taking
his services away from the club for
a period of considerable length, but
the objectets were won over. Tom
McNamara and Walter Hagen also
go to England.
The Americans are Koino- uo

few who believe that Harry Vardon,

of. the championship running, and
there are men like Abe Mitchel.
George Duncan, Arnaud Masey,
Laurence Ayton and several others
to serve as stumbling blocks for
the experts from this side of the
Atlantic. Nevertheless only one man
can win the British open title and
there is no British law aeainst its
being Walter Haeen. Tim Barnes or
Tom McNamara, who will represent
America.
Golfers are interested in the latesl
leports from Kent, England, where
the Deal Golf club's course is situ
ated, as it is. doubtful that the links
can be made playable in time for the
WM British open championship.
boon after the outbreak of the
war in 1VI4 the British military au
thorities converted part of this
course into a shooting range. Six
holes of the links were comman
deered by the government officials,
who quickly changed the fairways,
greens, hazards and tees into a cha
otic area of well trampled common.
