Yl r 10 THK HER: OMAHA. SATURDAY. PKCKMHER 10. 1021. Up - to - Paris Spoi lsmen Fear Los Angeles May Get (James No Plans Made for 1921 Olympic Because of Wrangle Over Who Should Asmuiic Charge of Frr nth Plans. Paris, Dec. 9. Paris sportsmen arc now becoming seriously alarmed over the delay in starting arrangements for the Olympic Raines (or July, 1924, awarded to Paris by the Internation.il Olympic committee at Lausanne. They fear tlmt, unless homctliing i done before the end of the year, the committee may reconsider its de cision and give the games to Los Angelc. All the architects thus far con stilled concede that it will take near ly three years to construct a suitable stadium. Yet neither has the ground for such a stadium been chosen nor has any bill been introduced either in parliament or the municipal council setting aside funds for its construc tion. The French foreign office played an important part in seeming the l''J4 K'lmes for Paris, l'.i.th Presi dent Millerainl and Premier Uriand realized the value of the propaganda resulting to France if the meet were held here, and they urged French members of the committee fo press the claims of Paris very strongly. The city of Paris also took a strong hand. Tie municipal author ities argued that the summer season for Paris would thus be prolonged far beyond the running of the Grand Prix, when the capital is usually cmi tied of thousands of wealthy rcsi- dents and visitors who go to the sea side resorts. " They estimated that the games would bring several, mil lion francs to the hotel wd shop keepers of Paris. But once the decision was reached there began a wrangle as to who should assume charge of the arrange ments. The foreign office wants to boss the show, because it originated the idea of bringing the games here. The department of public instruction, which has as one of its branches a department of sjiort, has put in its bid. liven certain officials of the ministry of war and of the ministry of the interior think their depart ments should arrange for tlie meet, and naturally the mnnicipal council, of Paris is having a lot to say. Ail these various officials are ex changing notes and battling for con trol. Meanwhile, nothing actually has been done to plan for. the 1924 Olympic. ' McGraw Boasts of All-Star Infield New York, Dec. 9. John J', Mc Graw, manager of the New York Giants, expressed the ' belief todav that Hemic Groh, his $100,000 infield acquisition, would make the teams' infield the greatest he ever has man aged, i "I will place him on third, of course, for Heinie has no superior anywhere as a third sacker," said McGraw. "Frisch will be moved to second, where he belongs and would father play. He'll be the same shin ing light, too. With Kelly on first and Bancroft at short well, wait and see." Oregon Grid Coach Weds Oakridge Girl I Eugene, Ore., Dec; 9. Charles ("Shy") Huntington, head coach of the University of Oregon foot ball team, and Miss Hallie Hills of Oak ridge, were married, last night. They will accompany the Oregon squad to the Hawaiian Islands for its Christ mas foot ball game with the Univer sity of Hawaii. Huntington was the outstanding Star of the 1916 east-west game, at Pasadena, Cal., when Oregon de feated the University of Pennsyl vania, 14 to 0. His bride during the war acted as a lookout in the Cascade National forest, her work attracting wide attention. Packers and Izzies Buy Coast Players ' Oakland, Cal., Dec. 9.

Overtures to Prodigal Sons Chicago, Dec. 9. Organized base ball is said to have undergone a change of heart in regard to i;s rules against players who either failed to report or jumped to the so-called "outlaw" ranks. Certain minor league players who were put outside the fold for neglecting to observe the reserve clause already have received overtures to return, and it was learned yesterday that the leagues will take similar steps to bring the wayward sons back home. 1 f the majors decide to act con trary to the rules and regulations they will, have plenty of arguments to back up tiicir right-about-face movement. First of all, players of ability are scarce, which is indi cated by McGraw paying an alleged $75,000 for O'Connell, the Frisco lirst-sackcr. Secondly, by barring good men the majors are aiding the so-called "outlaws" and the semi pros, and, lastly, there is an evident desire on the part of the organized ball notables to clean up the books and start all over again. ' Any movement to restore in-bad athletes, naturally, would have to have the indorsement of the supreme commissioner, otherwise it would fail. However, despite the fact that McCredie to Succeed Kenworthy as Manager 0fSeattle Club Seattle, Dec. 9. Walter McCredie of Portland will succeed William Kenworthy as manager of the Se attle club of the Pacific Coast base ball team, James Boklt, president of the club, announced yesterday Mc Credie managed the Portland club last season, which Kenworthy has been named to manage this season. McCredie has developed much talent for the major leagues. Second Check Mailed To Christy Mathewson New Y'ork, Dec. 9. A check for $24,573, representing additional pro ceeds from a benefit base ball game played September 30 for Christy Mathewson, former pitching star of the New York Giants, was mailed to him today at Saranac Lake, where he is ill of tuberculosis. Several weeks ago he was sent his first check for $30,000. Fulton Offered Match With Champ St. Paul, Dec. 9. Fred Fulton of Rochester, Minn., has been offered a match with Jack Dcmpsey in New Y'ork City, according to Fulton's manager. The offer came from Jim Buckley, he said. Remembers When Foot Ball Players Railroad Fare and Purchase Muscatine, la., Dec. 9. E. C. Nich ols, captain of the University of Iowa's first foot ball team in 1886, states that in the old college days, sports were frowned on by the uni versity authorities. "They never made any objections to the te'am going to play," he ex plains "provided the players turned out for dress parade Friday after noon and were back for roll call Mon day morning. Only short trips were possible." Mr. Nichols was chosen captain of the first team on account of his drop kicking ability. The team was never defeated during his three years as caotain. The players had to pay their own railroad fare, furnish their own equipment, and stand all other ex pense in those days, according to Mr. Nichols. ' ""We had to rent our own play ing field then, and it was generally in some nearby pasture," he re lates. Iona'foot ball teams did not boast Days Perform Landis only a few months bark sus pended for a term of years all athletes who refused to report, he no doubt would listen to a good argument in favor of lifting the pres ent barriers. The movement would have to be carried along by each club dealing with its own ineligible play ers and then bringing each case separately before thfc big boss of the works. The commissioners' report for the current year has not yet been pub lished so no record of suspended players on big league rosters is avail able. It is known, however, that there are enough men outside the fold to make up a fairly capable ball team. One fellow who was men tioned in press dispatches just a few days ago is Joe Harris. He was a dandy prospect when with Cleve land and after bring discharged from the army he took up "outlaw" ball in Pennsylvania. The White Sox are said to be seeking him. According to word ir.om Buffalo waivers were asked by the Cubs on Outfielder George Maisel and the Sox refused to waive. Then it was learned that the player had cost the Cubs $12,500 and the So.x immediate ly withdrew their claim because of a difference in the interpretation of the rule governing such cases. Centre Eleven Eager To Play Notre Dame Danville, Ky.. Dec. 9 Announce ment that the Centre College Col onels will meet Notre Dame eleven at San Diego, Cal., December 26, was received here enthusiastically today by members of the team and students. The 22 letter men, Coaches Moran, Meyers and Thornhill and representatives of the faculty will leave here December 16 for the far west.

Fremont Pin Team Plays Woodrows Here The Woodrow Cafes, No. 2, will meet a picked team of Fremont in a return match at the Omaha bowl ing alleys at 2:30 o'clock Sunday aft ernoon. In the first match at Fremont, the Omaha team won by 11 pins. Lexow and Ringling Named Receivers New Y'ork, Dec. 9. Allen Lexow andn John Ringling were named by Supreme Court Justice Guy late yes terday as receivers for "Tex" Rick ard, the Madison Square Garden cor poration and the Madison Square Sporting club. Inc. They deposited bond of $100,000. a coach in the eighties, but the stu dents were trained in gymnastics by a paid instructor, and a collection was taken up to pay his salary. Foot ball players were not required to live up to any eligibility rules. "There is quite a difference be tween foot ball of those days and the game now," says Mr. Nichols. "There was no running with the ball then. The players had to kick it or bat it with their fists and were not allow ed to punt "The idea was to drop kick or bat the ball between the goal posts, which counted for one goal for the suc cessful team. The playing field then was longer than now. The team that scored the first three out of five goals was the winner. "There were 15 men on each side, but only the fullback had a set posi tion he had to play back all of the time." Mr. Nichols is of the opinion that foot ball was a rougher game then than it is now. Tackling was not permissible , in thoic days and a Grace-Reform Game Feature Of Flay at "Y" The Grace basket ball team rolled over the First Reforms for a 5 to 4 victory and the Clifton Hill augre gatiotr took (he measure of the Wal nut Hills by a 16 to 11 count in the feature games in the Church league last night. In the other contests, the Dundee Presbyterian humbled the First Methodists, 25 to o, while the First Christians ran away from the Park Methodists on the long end f a 22 to 2 tabulation. Free tosses proved the deciding factor in the Graco Methodist-Ke-forincd tilt. Banner tossed the Methodist's lone basket and Beb bington made two free throws and Nixon one. llomberg dropped the ball through the hoops for tlx- Re form's four points. Reeves' failure to make free throws out of five at tempts cost his quintet the game. Playing of the fast and furious ,snrt marked the content between the Walnut Hills and Clifton Hills, fea tured bv the basketing of Vcwtcr and Jelks of the Clifton Hills and Hoffman's tossing for the Walnut bo vs. Peterson demonstrated he has an unerring eye by making 7 points out of 11 attempts at free throws.
