1910. TW0 SCAEDULES PREPARED S g National League Magnates to Have Choice of 154 or 168 Games, RULES ARE AGAIN CHANGEDk Wild Pitches and Passed Dalls Are ot to Count as Errors—Official Scores Polnt Out Injustice of Change. PITTSBURG, Jan. %.—Two schedules, one for a 1t-game and another for the 18- game playing season, will be submitted to the National league In New York next| montl, This was settled by the schedule | committec tonight, although its labors have not yet been concluded. Another session will be held tomorrow. The base hall folk, all but the members of the sehedule com mittees of the two major leagues, left for thelr homes tonights' The protracted scs- slors of the schedule committee is caused by the Ardudis work Bf dovetalling the 168 with thé Amétican league's 164-game sched. ule, §o @8 to.avold eonflicting dates. Then, too, angither arrangement on the basis of a 15-game schedule for both Is being pre- pared, so that whichever is adopted can be put into immediate effect. The dectston to present the two schedules to the National league was reached on a business basls, arguments for each side belng recognized on their merits. The sherter schedule was' presented somewhat as a_minarity report to the league, while the Jfonger schedule was drawn by Chair- man, Ebbetts as ha was Instructed by the club managers of the league. Scorers Point Out Injustice Official scorers here entered strong pro tests against the wild pitch and passed ball ruling under the reyised rules and the com- mittee met today apd roseinded it. It was pofyted .out that the battery men handlea the ball scores of [times more than other pldyers on the tewm without getiing any aredit for. perfect work, and that it would be unjust to charge them with fielding errors for oceasional slips.

SHERIDAN, Wyo, Jan. 2.—(Spectal.)— “Muggey’’ Schoels of Cheyenne and Jack O'Leary of Milwaukee have been matched Zbyszko Aand De Rouen Drawing Two Edropean Giants Are Likely to Have a Great Crowd at the Auditorium. Each man welghing In his normal notch of one ton even, Duke Raoul de Rouen of | Gay Paree and Btanislau Zbyszko, premier of the Poles, will trip lightly into Omaha In a day or so for thelr littlo engagement at the Auditorfum Friday night. And when these celebrities arrive they | will find a large concourse of the populace on hand to greet them, for Mdnager Gil- lan avers that tickets to the big wrest'e are going like buckwheat cakes in a min- Ing camp. They are having a great time over at the Auditorfum hooking onto that cognomen of the Pole, the Scillian or whatever the smaller of these two giants fs. “How do you pronounce that' fallow's name?’ demanded a man at the window who had just bought four ring seats. “Sneeze and scratch yeur foot. on the floor,” promptly replied the keen-witted little woman inside the box office. Nelther de Rouen nor Zbyszko is the finished wrestler that the most skilled Americans are, but they are both capable of furnishing & ot of interest on the mat. True, de Rouen's previous engagement in Omaha—once with Jess Westergaard and once with Mahmout—were unfavorable to him, made him unpopular, but nevertheless he is the biggest drawing card, admittedly 80, that the wrestling promoter has brought to this country in mahy years. His methods of wrestling, which is to brulse his opponent all he cam, sets the specta- tors wild with excitement, Hiss him if you will, but the next time he comes to town you are there in the best seat you can gét. Now, no matter what the conditions of the match may be, any time that a monster of de Rouen's proportions—he welghs about 200—goés to roughing it, he's going to make the other fellow mad and that's going to make things good for the crowd. Zbyszko has not yet been to Omaha. He is, as & matter of fact, a better wrestler than de Rouen, but he weighs a little under the Frenchman, although l¢ sald to b much stronger. He lookes ke a Hercules.

COMES ON EVE OF BIG INQUIRY Another Lands Buil Proposition for Rental of Bein Ratlway Seward, Considered— ine from WASHINGTON, Jan somewhat wensational fadtor appeared yesterday to add Intensity to the al- ready sufficlently excited situation over the Alaska coal lands, on the eve of the beginning of the Ballinger-Pinchot In- vestigation. John E. Ballaine of Seattle, sald to be the largest individual property owner In Alaska, made a proposition In writing to the senate committee on terrl- torles, of which Senator Beveridge of In- dlana is chairman, offering to the gov- ernment a royalty of 50 cents a ton on coal mined for the lease of 5000 acres ot some of the cholcest coal lands in Alaska, in the Katalla and Matanuska distriots. Such a tonnage royalty would net to the government, Mr, Ballaine claims, amounts as high as $2,000,000 per 100 acres. This proposal contempiates a radical de- parture from past practices in the govern- ment's disposal of the Alaska coal lands, and it comes avowedly to do battle with another proposition, embodied in a bill which has been prepared, but not intro- duced, designed to permit the sale or lease of such lands «= $10 per ucre. It 1s sald that the general features of the plan have the approval of officials high In the administration and of influ- ential members of both houses of con- gress, including some of the prominent in- surgent republicans and Delegate Wicker- sham of Alaska. 2%.—A new and | Bond of Million. Mr. Ballaine in his letter to Senator Beverldge offers to enter into a bond of $1,000,000 with the government for the per- formance of his part of the agreement, which he proposes and he makes the charge that “other interests” have now at work in Washington a lobby *headed by a for- mer United States senator” In support of the bill referred to above, under whose provisions, he declares, the government would extend an unconditional guarantee to a rallroad or rallroads which these In- terests purpose to bufld in Alaska and would virtuelly donate to them at $10 per acre, one or more tracts of 5,000 acres each to be selected by them. Mr. Ballaine asks congress to authorize the head of the dcpartment to be desiznated in the legislation to enter into a lease with a coal company to be organized by him for 5,000 acres of Matanuska coal land, under all the provisions for regulation and against monopolistic control of prices as stipulated in the bill recently Introduced by Senator Neison in conformity with the recommendations of Secretary Ballinger's annual report. This coal company would pay the United States and Alaska a roy- alty of $0 cents a ton for the coal as mined. Veins Twenty Feet Thick. Mr. Ballaine states that velns averaging a total thickness of twenty feet would vield according to standard measurements, a total of over 500,000,000 tons from the 5,000 acres, making a royalty of $250,000,00 for this small area. Mr. Ballaine alleges that the Canadian interest, whieh’owned a majority of the partially complated road from Seward, re cently put it”drough a foreclosure reor- ganization on a plan that wiped out all American Investments in the road, while | protecting all Canadian investments In it | He further charges that the lobby, which he Gescribes as asking for an outright guar- antee of Interest on bonds and the donation | of 5,000 acres of coal land as a virtual gift, | dians, but in genjunction with a grouv of | American capltalists, Who are, he declares, | attempting by the seme bill to get control the Kata)la coal In another part of Alaska. Mr. Ballaine tonight quoted the (Inited | States geologital survey as stating in une! of its recent reports that there are 16,0°0,- 000,000 tons of'¢oal in sight In the known coal areas of Alaska, ahd probably as much again in regions as yet unexplored, and he poinited out that the leasing of these areas as he was offer- ing for an area of only 5000 acres, would ultimately bring the government in $8,000,000,000. ‘Inquirc Into Milk Monopoly New York Grand Jury Will Attempt to Fix Responsibility for High Prices. over -An effort to fix for the high price yesterday under the NEW eriminal of milk YORK, Jan. ponsibility was begun Under the same act a previous grand b with the same foreman—Evert Jandsen Wendell, the phllanthropist and amateur athiete—indicted the American Ice for criminal conspir in re- trade Jury., company raifit U.

Although an extra dividend had long been rumored In the market the behavior of the common shares during the day and way bore out the fagts. According to the beat Information tHere was a division of opinion among the directors and the oufcome was probably in doubt up to the time of the meeting. Rumor credits the Morgan faction in the board with having favored an extra dividend, but Chalrman Gary declared after the meeting adjourned that action had been unanimous. | The regular quarterly dividend was de- clared on the preferred shares. For the first time in the reports of the corpora- tion there appeared an item of $3,200,000 to be taken from the reserve fund “to cover advanced mining royalties.'
