Tebeau I# too shrewd a man | Minnesota is much stronger this season to let anything In the form of a concession | than it was a year ago at Linboln and | get by him unless by so doing he can secure gréater concessions, And that's pre- cisely the point. The American assocla- tion igreement with the National com- mission has this year and next only to run. At the end of 1910, if not before, semething blg is golng (o be demanded. Doubtless the conclusion has been reached that it's well not to. be fettered or hampered by lewser toncessions when the time comes to g0 after the big game. There is a bellef in wome minds that Tebeau will not wait two years to pull off his coup; that he is pecretly planning an Invasion of major | league territory and may undertake it next spring, precipitating a general vall | war. This belief is shared by President | Kavanaugh of the Eouthern league, af- | fected by the-proposition. He plainly savs he belleves the Eastern.and American are preparing to outlaw and he protests to the | commission agalnst Its action. But that is | idle. Tebeau is going to get a bigger piece | of this base ball ple—and his mouth is chockedl full now. He has planted .his in- terests in several cities and he could me Yllize his forces Without much difficulty base fo make & good start. How successful such & move would be Is purely problem- atical. One thing Is plain—the situation must ghange. Too many good towns want admission into faster company to be long barreds Tebeau, no matter what his per- sonal popularity or unpopularity may be, 1% & forde, a dominant force, in base ball and he will be reckoned with Ten't the National commission a little supersengitive about the authority vested In 1t? Some base ball managers are be- Einning to think so. It has suspended Dode | Criss of Bt. Louis for falluré to re-sign up | by May 1 and Manager McAleer is in- dignant about it. He excuses Criss’ action | by saying that neither he' nor President Hedges was avajlable at the time" Criss wanted to sign, hence he couldn't affix his name to & contract. The Browns' management is perfectly content to allow Criss to play and is very much displeased at the commission’s conduct. Johnny Evers had the consent of President Murphy and Manager Chance to stay out until he was needed and when he was needed he promptly hastened to the rescue of the team. But here came the commission with the notification that Bvers was ineligible because he failed to sign a Chicago con- tract by May 1 Evers observed the for- malities and is now at work. In the case of Evers President Murphy says he was given a leave because the death of his mother necessitated certain adjustments of business and family matters. Tt looks like the commission is going pretty far when it transcends a point beyond which the owners' and managers of teams can see no reason or cause for going or 1o. good purpose to serve. Of course, the commis- sion ean't be guided by the whim ot every team owner. and manager, but, McAleer says, “Even a policeman who arrests a man uses judgment.” President O'Neil's rotification several days in advance that any player in the western league not signed by May 7 would be suspended was only falr to the players, for he gave them ample warning. Frauk Smith says he will pitch every day If necessary to keep the Sox in the lead. That's what Walsh started out to do last year and you see what he got for it. By the way, this same Smith last year re- fused to pitch any game for a while. There's & wide range to his emotions. ‘““There is no ulterior motive in abrogat- ing the agreement,” says Garry Herrmann in referring to the commission's action in revoking the order -making the Tebeau and Powers leagues Class AA organizations a cinch. The other fellows beat Garry and his bunch to the ulterlor end of it. Willle Keeler, the veteran star of more than a decads ago, promised last year that by this season he would be back in his old form and he is making good on his promise. The little glant is pounding out two-baggers and home runs in the same #game. President O'Brien of the American asso- ciation. when asked what he had to say | upon the National commission's abrogation | of that agreement, took the repor dially into his confidence and said: *) Betsha he snickered. Wednesday s the big day. That is the “@ay when Omaha opens the base ball sea- won at home. It begins sixteen straight games, all of which we are golng to win just as & matter of convenlence and a rainy day precaution. Some Hawkshaw Insists he has seen Johuny Kling shambling aroynd Chicago for days in disguise. That's Certainly not siving Kling much show to make good on | his war talk. Some of the great pitchers are not yet | dolng much great work. Brown, Mathew- #on, Johnson, Covaleski, some of the great | ones, have mot yet struck their stride. “Zimmerman rivets the contest such bulletins from the seat of war as that is it any wonder Johnny Evers wanted to get back? If going from Cincinnati to Chicago has | the same influence on Pat Ragan as it did on Overall, let's be glad. Let's say hurrah, anyway. It Omaha's pitching staff ever gets to working like its batiing department may | the fates have mercy on the other fellows!

A year ago they were defeated by by a score of 13 to 1—first places only be- ug counted in the meet last week they tied up the final resuit, taking seven firsts. Six of these first places were won | in the runs—events in which the Cornhusk- ers weak and in which they will do their poorest work against Mignesota a week from today on Northrup field. lowa is strong In the same events that Nebraska 18 a leader in and won its half from Min- nesota by making the best time in the 120 yard hurdles and in all the field events excepting the pole vauit. Coach Clapp 1o0ks for his men to win from the Gophers next week by taking a majority of the points in all the fleld events, the hurdles, and In one or twe of the sprints. Collins ix Relled On. are 8. Colling Is sure to”win the three weight events for the Cornhuskers against the Gophers. His records are better than any made in the Minnesota-lowa meet, in which the Hawkeyes took first in the ham~ mer, discus and shot put events. Captain McDonald of the Cornhuskers, with rece ords of 0:15 46 and 0:3 in the 120 and 20- vard hurdies, respectively, pught to have an easy time winning these two events, for “Dick” Grant's men are extremely slow in running the sticks. Both the broad and high jumps should be easy victorles for Nebraska. Minnesota lost these to lowa. The record for the high jump at lowa City was § feet 3% inches. This was several inches lower than the mark at which elther Hamel or Hum- mell of Nebraska‘can clear the bar. The broad jump was won with a record of 20 feet 44 Inches. Perry, 2 feet 2% inches in the Kansas meet last spring, it he gets Into condition ought to win this event. He has been sick during the last week and may be in poor form by next Baturday. In that case Nebraska will have to depend upon Hummell and Reed, elther of whom should do better than 2 teet. Smiley dash of Minnesota won the 100-yard from Iowa in 0:10%, this being the same time Wildman and Campbell made in the Cornhusker preliminary meet a week ago. Wildman is capable of ten sec- onds flat and ought to beat Smiley to the tape. Campbell is nearly as fast as his team mate and with an even break of luck ought to also beat the Gopher sprinter or at least run him a tie race, Clapp Has Good Vaulters. The pole vault evéent, which Straine of Minnasota won from lowa with @ height oOf ten feet, probably will go to Dr. Clapp's men. He has two vaulters who can make better than ten feet six inches. They are Russell and Hammond. The former is the better of the two and has gone close to eleven feet without hitting the bar. He is delinquent in his studles just now, but in case he passes faculty inspection before next Saturday he will be a favorite for winning first in the vault. Hammond may get second, it if Straine is capable of ten and a half feet the Cornhusker will not get better than third At lowa City Smiley captured the 440- yard run, his time being 0:4%. This rec- ord was slower than Reed made on the same day In the Nebraska preliminaries. The young Cornhusker went the distance in 0:52%. Smiley will have to run in im- proved form in the coming meet or else Nebraska will win this sprint. Beside Reed for this event Dr. Clapp has Burke, a runner who was a close second in the sprint last week. In the 20-yard dash Smiley will be called upon again to compete against Ne- braska’s two best sprinters—Wildman and Campbell. His record for the Iowa meet was 0:23%, or two seconds less than Camp- bell ran the distance here on the same day The Cornhuskers will be certain of may be first place, for Wildman has the Nebraska record of 0:2215 and believes he can best Gopher Smiley Long Runs Are Doubtfal. Nebraska's prospects ‘in the three long runs are not neerly so bright as in the other events. Minnesota casily defeated Towa in the two-mlile, one-mile and naif- mile races, The time for these runs was better than any of the Cornhuskers have made this spring. In the mile run, however, Hull went the distance only three seconds faster than Asbury of Nebraska ran it a week ago. Snce that date ths Cornhusker has been running faster in training and Dr. Clapp lcoks for him to run Hull a neck-and-neck race. Asbury and Gable will represent Na- braska in the twe-mile run. In the haif- { mile run Anderson and George will contest Coach Dr. Clapp does not figure on win- ning elther of these events, for the Goph- ers appear to have them clinched. Minne- too, will have two or three men of nearly equal | ) abllity entered in several of the events, This will give the local school an adva | tage over the Gophers In the total scoring, for Coach Grant has cnly & few individual | stars and does not figure winning a majority of points In many of the events. Nebraska, besldes winning the most firsts, | should also secure enough second and third places in both the track and field events the Scarlet- and Cream a signal victory, which, while not bLeing as over- | whelming like that last season. will | clearly show the superiority of the Covue | huskers 1o the cinder path games. | At Sioux City in the mect with Morning | side toduy Nebraska wés badly handi- capped by the absence of Perry.

The campalgn among the students membership on the Nebraska Athletic board came to a close tonight. It was not marked by any such show of interest as was manifested in the election last year. Considerable campaigning has been done by the varlous candidates, but it has nearly &Il been of the ‘“gumshoe” varlety. The annual election will be held Monday. The 1ist of men seeking position includes twelve names of students more or less prominent in university circles. Eight of the candidates have won thelr Nebraska letter in one or more branches of Corn- husker sport. Five studénts will be elected from the twelve aspirants.

TWO SQUADS ARE AT PRACTICE Coach Grii of lowa Putting Men Through Spring Foot Ball Work. IOWA CITY, Ila, May 8.—(Special)— Good progress was made in the spring foot ball practice last week and Coach John Gritfith is laying his plans for a series of contests in passing and punting for com- mencement week. Two teams ran signal practice yesterday and the men dispiayed iots of “pepp” despite the warm weather The addition of the strong freshmen re- cruits has encouraged Coach Griffith and Captain Gross. A tackle from the fresh- | men class by (he name of Hanson has | proved the find of the spring in his ability to boot the ball. He can kick it farther than any of the varsity men and is ex- pected to prove a second Kirk The fact that a large number of foot ball men have been interested in other sports has been a decided handicap to Coach Griffith. Quarterback Stewart is captain of the base bail team and has not been able | to report at all for the pig skin practice. Wagner, the ex-west high star has been running signals at quarter, the position he played on last fall's freshmen team Murphy of the freshmen eleven and Alder- man are both on the freshman track team and can practice frregularly. Ehret has | been unable to report on account of heavy { #chool work and many of the other foot | ball players aré on the track and base ball | sauads, so that the foot ball practice has | been held under difficulties. The prospects for the second annial in- terscholaristic field meet a week from to- day are good. Many more schools have been heard from this year than last and the fact that the freshmen of lowa and the | University of Chicago are clash wiil | materlally ald the interest the event over the state. The board of control of athletics is still | undecided over a track coach for next year It is possible that to in no selection will be made untl next fall Harold Thomas of | 1da Grove is still one of the prominent candidates.

Three years of actual testing has thor oughly developed and fully tested this car in every respect. The Locomobile “40” Is the logical choice of those who wish a high class, high power car, The 40" is large and roomy-—seating 7 passengers and is par- ticularly adapted to family use. This rdce was a test of relidbillty and endurance, and in spite of a slippery course, the 258 miles were covered at an average speed of 64.3 miles per hour, Pretty fast when you figure it at 94 feet a e The New ‘30 The name Locomobile guaranteed superiority. The new “30" shaft driven is strong, durable and above all, easy riding. Another feature not to be overlooked, is simple control, when studying power, The riding qualities of the 40" are superb, and the uniform strength of construction throughout make this car most desirable for all around service. The Roadster or Runabout type of the ‘“40" {s a high power car with light body arranged to accommodate two, three or four pas- sengers. Limousine and Landaulet bodies are also placed on “40" chassis.
