The telegram of acceptance of the
date from K. E. Davis, graduate
manager of athletics at Pittsburgh,
stated that an effort was being rris.de
to arrange the "Pitt" schedule so
that Warner's team could play iu
Lincoln iu 192 J. ;-
Thc fact that Pittsburgh is con-l

teams in tb cast thk year would
indicate that Nebraska's' perform

State w.'S not scoffed at by eastern
foot ball critics.
Closing the date with "Pitt"
means that the Cornhuskers may
make three trips during the foot ball
season next fall. Nebraska will

Professional Foot Ball May Yet ,r
Be Made to Pay in Eastern Cities
C liicofo Tribune-Omaha Bea Leased Wire.
. Chicago, Dec. 13. "Fighting with
nearly the same spirit that featured
their college careers, Staleys and
Akron were unable to decide the
national professional foot ball su
premacy yesterday at Cubs parkH
where they battled tor 48 minutes to
a scoreless tic. '
Only once durjng .the bitterly
fought contest did either eleven
threaten to score. This was in the
third period when Staleys worked
the ball close enough to Akron's
goal fo permit Sternaman to attempt
a place kick from the 22-yard line.
The ball went wide ofits mark, al
though Captain Halas had taken the
necessary precaution to have si clean,
dry shoe sent in for the kicker.
The ball was worked close enough
to try the field goal'by great running
eff "Paddy" Driscoll . and "Dutch3
Sternaman. The prmer skirted AW-"
ron('s left end for a nice gain and
then Sternamatwplowed through the
other side of the visitor's line for IS
yards.
On a side pass, Sternaman ad
vanced the oval to Akron's 10-yard
line. - , ; "-
Two more attempts to penetrate
-Akron's line failed to' gain. A for
ward pass, Driscoll to Pierce, netted
a small gain, but the bait rested
close to the side line. Sternaman
then attempted a. field goal from the
bad angle, but tjie' oval sailed1 wide
of the intended, mark. . .

Leading candidates for the new
berths arc Amarillo.' Breckinridge
and Lubbock. J. Walter Morris was
je-elected Resident of the lcasuc.--
first time in 20" years that a profes
sional . foot ball game was offered
to the Gotham sport-loving public
as a big attraction.
' The game, while it did not war
rant the owners of the big Brush
stadium to enthus, left an impres
sion that professional foot ball
might be made to pay, and pay big.
Secretary Joe O'Brien' of the New
York National : league - club said
after the game that tHe number oti
paid admissions was tvot large
enough to make the attraction a
paying proposition for the club,
which operated with the teams on a
percentage basis. However, it
must be remembered that the New
York public has not been educated
to follow the fortunes of profes
sional gqid teams and could not be
expected to enthuse. Furthermore,
there isgtrong opposition here apd

Champion Wilson
Watching His Step
The Middleweight Titleholder
Came Near Losing His
Laurels in Late Battle. X
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee leased Wire.
New York, DeC7 13. Johnny Wil
son, the middleweight champion, is a'
coy youngster; It is a little more than
a year ago that Mike O'Dowd in a
careless moment allowed the south
paw to grap off his titfV "tiut since
that time Johnny has srayed veryi
much out of the limelights- The Sinn
FeineV from St. Paul has been shoot
ing j challenges at the JCitogue kid,
but' John for some reason or other
has stayed at a safe distance. " '
The attitude of Johnny, in view of
large purses that have been in vogue
for the last six months is not quite
clear:
Wilson could come toNeiv York
and almost name. hisown f igtire, but
the left-hander prefers to take more
heed of the youngsters in the sticks,
where he gets very jttle for his
pains. . "
For all we can rather at this end
Johnny has just about stepped out
twice since the O Uowd jam to de
fend his crpufi, and on each occasion
he had the time of his life staying
in the picture. rOn the other day
Wilson took a chance with a boy
named Arthur Robinson and the lat
ter came close to wrecking the cham
pion. It this same Wilson person
don't watch out some 'one of these
clucks is goings to knock 4iim out. .

the professional game, which is
constantly being hammered unmer
cifully by college athletic authori
ties. These two factors are. hurdles
that the'game must clear if it is t?
succeed in hc metropolis.
Play Classy Game, i
The quality of foot ball' displayed
by the Canton and Buffalo, elevens
7,000 spectators. It marked theLwas a pleasant surprise to the
crowd that turned out for the came.
The fact that practically every mem
ber of both teams formerly starred
with a college eleven gave no oije
assurance that they would be able
to put up a superfine brand of foot
ball. Teams composed Of stars1 as
a rule fail to develop team Work.
This was true, to some extent, of
the Canton and up-state elevens, but
they made up for it by playing hard,
-aggressive and brilliant individual
foot ball and there was enough
teamwork" to satisfy the average fan
who is prone to criticize.
In educating any public to sup
port' professional foot ball the stir
ring up of civic pride is a big 'factor'.
The lack of college spirit must bf;
supplanted and the fan nwts have
StrT interest in one of the tlcvens
that trot onto the field. -' It, takes
this along with a natural love for
theame itself to make the "pro"
pastime iay at the turpstile.
Jim Thorpe's players and- the
eleven from Buffalo played as clean
a game of foot ball here as anyone
could ask. There was ne. rough
work, no slugging, nothing that
could be censured by opponents of
the professional w game. ' And they
played with spirit, -too. The fact
that they were so evenly matchel
and played to such a close decision
7 to 3, in favor of Buffalo sent the
crowd home in fine spirits and ready
to say a pood word for the sport.
So there, is still a chance for the
jame to' thrive here.'
J4ight Form League.
A league of professional foot ball
clubs has often' been talked about,;
but never itried with any success
in the larger cities. Such a league,
if formed alone the lines of profes
sional base ball with an agreement
iri fore that would protect both
players and -clubs, might be a win
ner right off the reel. Charles -A.
Stoneham. president of the New
York Giants, and several other
major league owners are said to be
interested in the formation oT such
a league.
Chirago Tribune-Omaha Be Lcaaed Wire.
New York, Dec. 13. Base ball
magnates broke all records yester
day when they met "and within an
hour had approved national agree
ment tosupplant the one that went
by the boards when the National
league and three members of the
American league bolted this fall.
So speedy was the agreement
reached by the envoys of the. Na
tional and American leagues, that
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis
and believed by every one, he is the
high commissioner of base ball from
now on if the word of the base ball
magnates can be taken-7-was able to
catch" the Twentieth Century limited
for Chicago. But it took, a long,
long tinie for-the stenographer to
get the "words" in shape for publi
cation. . ' -
The National base ball covenant
on which all were agreed must be
stamped with the approval of major
and minor leagues before it becomes
a fact. This probably will be done
on January 12, at Chicago, on which
date a 'Confirmation" mectitng has
been called. '
Must Be Stamped O. K.
Of course, the agreement reached
by the envoys of the various leagues
must meet the approval of all con
cerned and on Tuesday the National
league atNhe Waldorf Astoria will
"come across" in order to avoid any
delay. ' August Herrmann, former
chairman of the National commis
sion, asserts there is no reason for
the National league to be. in session
more than three hours, because there
is nothing to do.
On the following iFriday, the
American league will meet in Chi
cago and with the representatives of
the "loyal five" in full accord with
the agreement reached today, Ban
Johnson's organization is expected to
slap on its stamp of approval. f
With the two major leagues in
accord, it is up" to the twenty-seven
minor leagues to get onvthe band I
wagon. The big base ball chiefs be
lieve they will speeedily see the
light and sign up. There are some
magnates, however, who seem t-e
inclined to slip a cog in some ofythc
wheels of the machinery, but it is
believed there will be a general re
union with all hatchets buried in
view of the fact that representatives
of the minors were so quick to give
their approval to the glans drawn
up by the majors. '
Minors Balk at Draft Plans.
Some of the minors balk at the
suggested draft plans which wil be
draw'h up later by an advisory com
mittee made up of the heads of the
American and National leagues,
and minor leagues yet to be se
lected.
If a league refuses to join the
national agreement, a league" of the
higher -.class cannot draft from a
league of the lower class, as is the
case at present, nor can a major
league draft from any class unless
that class has joiued in the agree
ment. In the event there are any "out
laws" a player inJhat league would
be hahdicappecPoecause he tould
not- progress unless his., "owner"
could get theprice. He could not
be drafted and get a chance if the
owner of his club was not a mem
ber of the agreement.. So a "flayer
is liable to refuse to play unless he
can advance One may be sure all
leagues will be in the agreement.
Landis High Mogul.
.The, agreement between the Na
tional and American leagues desig
nates the title of Judge Landis as
commissioner. In outlining his du
ties, the agreement places upon him
the4ask of investigating "either upon
complaint or upon his own initiative
any act or practice, alleged or sus
pected to be detrimental to the best
interests of the national game of
base ball with authority to Summon
persons and to order the production
of documents." Provision is made
for imposing1 penalties for refusal
tc comply with the. commissioner's
orders in such cases.(
After investigations, the commis
sion shall determine' what preventa
tive, or punitive actions ' shall be
taken either against major leagues,
major league clubs or individuals.
In the event that amijor league
or major league club be found guilty
of conduct detrimental to the game,
the comiuissioue r may impose a
fine notto exceed $5,000 and in tlie
case of a club punishment may be
extended to- include temporary'
deprivation of representation in joint
meetings held under the agreement.
In the case of an official or employe
of a major league or major league
club the punishment may extend to.
itispension or removal, and a player
niaf be. declared by the commission
er temporarily, or permanently inel
igible to play with any club which
is a party to the agreement.

Prominent Minister

Rev. Parker Moon Takes
Tanlac On AdviceN oT
Physician and Says He
Never in Life Has Seen
Its Equal Health Restored.
''I am now 77 years of age and
have been a minister of the gospel
for 52 years but in all my experience
I have never known a medicine the
equal of Tanlac," was the emphatic
statement of the Rev. Parker Moon,
who resides- at 628 Howard avenue,
"arthage, Mo. For a full half cen
tury his life and talents have b.en
devoted to Sunday school work and
organization for the denomination
of the Society of Friends, more gen
et ally known as Quakers. The Rev.
Mr, Moon further says. 1
"The reason I give Tanlac my un
qualified indorsement is that I have
learned by actual teM what a won
derful medicine it is. Five years agc-
I suffered a general breakdown in
health. I had indigestion so bad I
seldom ate anything without being
nauseated afterwards and I nearly
always had a taste as bitter as gall
in- my mouth. Pains across the
small of my' back and violent throb-'
bing headaches added to my miserv.

the time and finally had to gire p
my work. ' During these ycfrs of ill
health I tried special treatments and
took many medicines, but obtained
little 11 any benefit,
I had heart trouble ai

might help me, but, although I
changed climate three'times, I still

got no relief.
"Fortunately for me, just when my
condition seemed hopeless, a phy
sician advised me to try Tanlac, say
ing it was a great system builder. I
took his advice and f&und he was
right 'but Tanlac did even more than
he said because in addition to build
ing up my system it actually rid me
of all the disagreeable symptoms
that troubled me for so many yearsr
"That I am in good health and ac
tive today is due solely to the power
of Tanlac. . I have a splendid ap
petite, now, my digestion is perfc.t
and 1 feel younger and stronger
than for many a year. I, have even
been able to discontinue the use of
laxatives, a practice that hac be
.come a necessity with me.
"The work of Talllac has certainly
been thorough and shows what the
right medicine can do. I recom
mend this medicine not only through
gratitude but also because I hope
people who suffer will sec my state
ment and be influenced to try Tanlac
and be benefited as 1 was."
