need any more men fom among the pew material than these others Vaulters and Jumpers Few. The veteran vaulters and high Jumpers have Nttle competition In sight just now. Hummell, Russell, Perry and Mumson were the representatives last season, and, ap parently, they have the field clear now. Graham, who led ,all the Corphuskers in the high Jump and pole vault but who was ineligible because he was a freshman, has not eome back this winter. He would have been & sure point wininer for Nebraska. Hummell may have some competition In the high jump when Rathbone and two or thres other promising candidates get into the lists. At present Hummell is the lone star In this event. In the pole vault Russell will be alone, @8 he was last spring, unless some new men develop soon.. He did not win many points a year ago and will have to im- prove greatly If he Is to be a factor this #eason. Two years ago he was a star and landed several marks for his team. He falled to gain his form at any time last year and was defeated by representatives At the Missourl valley meet. It Is sald there Is some: good material among the new men for this gvent, but these athletes will not show up until the Indoor meets are under way. The hurdles will have Russell and Flack and possibly Rathbone from last year. Captain McDonald, who was the star hurd- ler of the Missourl valley, s ineligible for track athletics this spring. Russell is a #peedy man on the sticks. ¥lack Is a comer and Rathbone is likely to develop rapidly during training. Good Long Distance Men. Amberson, the fast half-miler of last Season, Is ready for the long runs and other candidates will be on hand later in the spring. Amberson and Gable, whose forte is the two-mile race, are preparing for training. Amberson made the half mile In nearly record time and is likely to lower the university mark this spring. Amberson ran second in the cross-country run at Chicago last fall. Bates and Me- Gowan are possiblities for the long runs. They are fast and are considered in the nature of ‘‘finds”’ for the Cornhuskers. Bates will probably return to school for the second semester. With ‘the opening of school on Monday for the last semester of the year, the in- door track athletes will resume training for the three local meets and the games ot Omaha fn March. The coming week will witriess the first of the local contests, and the non-fraternity men will get to- gother at the armory Saturday afternoon to settle on thelr representatives for the contest with the fraternity men on Char- ter day. No Game Until Kansas. The two contests with Drake college this week finished the local schedule of the Cornhuskers for over two .weeks, when the University ‘of Kansas five will ecome to Linooln for two games. Next week the Ne- braska players will rest up. The following week ‘they will take their annual northern and eastern tour, playlng with Ames, Drake and Minnesota. The defeat of Drake by, Ames during the Week; previous to the games between Ne- braska and Drake, practically put the Des Moines school out of the champlonship race and gave the Cornhuskers & better chance to annex the title. By winning two Sames on the trip week after next, the local basket ball men can clinch the honors, and will then be ready to meet the south- ern champlons for the honors of the con- ference league. The base ball team will take but one trip this year, and the annual southern tour for the Easter recess will be aban- doned. The cause of this is that the spring vacation comes too early this spring to permit the nine to make the trip at that time, and the management does not feel that the players can afford to be away from their studles for two trips, southern excursion will be done away with and the eastern one extended a day or two, STATE BALL LEACUE LIKEFY (Continued from First Page.) those in the east end have been a little backward and a little Inoculation wWith genulie base ball virus will prove bene- ficlal in stiffening up one or two places. Howevor, if Fremont organizes in the right sort of spirit and is willing to send dele- gates to Grand Island the arrangement will_be satistactory here. But it is the hope of the local fans that one of the eastern towns will be chosen as a mat- ter of convenience to those in the east end of the state. All subscriptions taken here will be con- @itiona’ on the organization of the league, Another local meeting will be held next Friday night, at which time the Hastings corporation will probably be formed. Fremont in Line. FREMONT, Neb, Jan. 20.—(Special)— e plan for a state league looks pretty &00d to Fremont base ball fans, and If the Fremont merchants will give a reasonable support to the proposition this eity will have a strong team, made up of pald play- ers. Gilbert Palmer, a real estate dealer, has leased the old grounds on South Main Wtreet, and as soon as the weather Is sult- able will make extensive improvements on the property. He used to put up a good quality of ball himself, and expects to plck an aggregation of players that will do good work, Manager Will Lowry of last year's team, who Is assisting Palmer, favors the state league proposition, provided sufficient backing is secured to keep up the team dur- ing the season. Whether the state league plan goes through or not, Mr. Palmer says Fremont will have & ball team that will be a credit to the town, made up of paid players. Fre- mont has for many years had & ball team that was above the average for a place of Its wize, but the fans have not always been a4 loyal as they might. Jack Shea of Sioux City and & number of minor league players once played regularly on the Min street grounds and were called Into faster com- pany later. Week-day games have not drawn the crowds here for the last two years wiiic, they deserved, but with a reg- ular serles of games it is thought the fans will turn out better and get woke up.

JOCKEYS GET BIG MONEY High Prices Being Offered for Cl Jockeys in Ameriea. FORTUNE MADE IN ONE YEAR Hildreth Pays $15,000 {o Sch for Gne Seasou's Work om th Tracks—Other Joekeys Also Come High. NEW YORK, Jan Owners of good horses are beginning to look around for riders for next season, and judging from the high prices that are being, offered for retaining fees, according to report, men who want a high class jockey will have o pay dearly for the article. The latest engagement of a rider is Carroll Schilling, who has been signed to ride for “Bamt Hildreth for the coming season at a salary of $15,000, dating from April 1 to November %, The arrangement s made contingent upon his being granted a license by the Juckey club. Hildreth also has second call on “Eddie"” Dugan, August Belmont having first claim on his services. It was owing to Mr. Bel- mont’s clalm that Hildreth engaged Schill- ing, as he would be without a first-class rider it Mr, Belmont started a horse In a race in which Hildreth had an entry, which is likely to occur frequently thix season, owing to both having several stake horses. The contingent part of Hildreth's con- tract was Inserted on account of the trou- ble Schilling bad with R. L. Thomas last fall at Gravesend, when he stabbed him during an altercation at the stable, sald to be on account of Schilling's refusal to renew his contract with Thomas. Schilling is now out on ball, as the stabbing was no: serious. His case will probably come up this spring and It all depends upon Thomas what the outcome will be it he presses the charge of assault with attempt to kill. It may go hard with Schilling, but the general belief is that Thomas will not appear agalnst the boy. Another jockey who has recently been transferred is Taplin, who has ridden for H. G. Bedwell the last year. Taplin's con- tract has been sold by Bedwell to R. J. MoKenale, a Canadlan, who owns several norses and is quite a facior in Canadian racing circles, though it is more than probable that he will race mostly on the local tracks next season. It fs sald that Mr. McKenszle paid $2,000 for Taplin's con- tract and will pey the jockey $15000 for his services the first year of his employ- ment. Riders will be somewhat scarce, as has been the caso for several seasons. There will hardly be half a dozen who can be rated as first-class, unless there are sev- cral “developments” from the winter tracks at Jacksonville and California. But- well will ride for James R. Keene, and it is more than probable that the star per- former at Juares, Archibald, will be seen in the east. He is a fair rider, but hardly comparable to Powers, Dugan, Schilling and Butwell, Kadris is & recent find and has been riding with success in California. There is no question that he will be brought east. Outside of these there are half a dozen of the lesser lights, such as McGee, Mus- grave, Nicol, Troxler, Howdrd, Reld, King and pne or two others, who will find plenty of work on the eastern tracks. Of these King appears to be showing up better than the majority of youngsters. He has ridden several winners at Jacksonville and is very much improved over last year. i Powers will be a free lance as soon as the Jacksonville meeting s over, belng under contract to P. T. Chinn for the win- ter season. He may be engaged by one of the more prominent owners to do heavy- welght riding, as he cannot scale less than 110 pounds at the lowest. Powers is a fin- ished horseman and will surely be In de- mand in all stake races. HOT SHOT FOR MR. MURPHY President Lynch Resents Strictures on Work of Schedule Committee. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—President Thomas J. Lynch of the National league issued yes- terday 4 statement asking club owners to refrain from criticising the schedule com- mittee until its work shall be laid before them at their annual meeting. Incidentally, President Lynch regrets that President Charles W, Murphy of the Chicago Na- tlonals has seen fit, 18 correctly quoted, to criticise the new rules now in process of adoption by the joint rules committee. President Lynch sald: “If Murphy has been correctly quoted, I wish (o state that he is expressing only the views of Charles Murphy, president of one club in our league. He does not speak for the National league. No criticism of the work of the rules committee is in order until the changes are officially promulgated by that committee, and if I understand correctly the provisions of the Natlonal commission agreement, the power of that body is absolute and its acts are not sub- Ject to revision or approval by elther major league. This 15 as it should be, for the making of rules should not be left to the whims or 'prejudices . of individual club owners. “The private Interests of no league and no club were considered at the Pittsburg meeting, The deliberations of the commit- tee and the gentlemen of the press who were present were most thorough and pains- taking and had only the best interests of the game at large in view. 1 do not ex- pect the committee's report to meet with unanimous approval, but I do expect com- mon courtesy of the club owners until they have something officlally placed before them, ““The same views go for the schedule com- mittee. After four long days of work the National league's representatives finished both a 168 and & 164-game schedule. The American league delegates, although com- mitted to a 134-game schedule, wore fair enough to glve up two days to assist us in framing our 16-game schedule. Our committee was therefore enabled to comply with Instructions given it by the National league, “Both long and short schedules will be ready for consideration by the National league at its February meeting. Neither one of these schedules Is common property, and therefore, criticism of the committee's labors Is out of order until the Natiowal league meets as a body to select the sched- ule it considers most feasible.” lows Wants Aq IOWA CITY, Ia, Jan. 2.—(Special)— Minnesota's move in Inaugurating aquatic sports has revived the interest in the Uni- versity of lIowa and it is probable that the board of control of athletics will order four-oared shel's in the next two weeks for use this spring.

Tekamah W LYONS, Neb., Jan. 235 —(Special)—The local high school team beat Lyons he last night in & game of basket ball by th secre of 15 to 9. THE With the Bowlers All arrangements are complte for the series of mateh games to be played be- tween the Glenwood and Red Oak, Ia teams at Francisco's Sunday. The first game will be played at 9: in the morning. This will be between the business men of Glenwood and a picked team from the newly organized Mercaptile league. It will be the first match me the cubs have ever played and a large number of rooters will be en hand to help the boys along. At 10:30 the Glenwood team will bo pitted against their old rivals, the Red Oak team, and promises to be & real fight, as a great deal of rivairy exists between these neigh- boring towns. In the afternoon the Booiter Rangers will go against the Red Oaks and a picked team trom the Booster league will play the Glenwoods. All bowlers intending to enter the Ameri- can Bowling congress meet at Detroit are requested to meet at Franclsco's alleys Sunday afternoon. Entries for this event will close on February 1l and matters of | Norm: importance to the Omaha entries will be discussed. The race in the Commercial league is no doubt the grandest fight for place that was ever pulled off in a league In the oity. Four teams are about even. Three suc- cesslve weeks the leaders have been dis- placed, and any of the four have an equal chance of getting the bunting. The fight between the Triumphs and the Metz team in the Omaha league is also getting rather interesting, and it will be a fight to the finish from now to the close. WITH THE BOWLERS, Splash Splasters took two games from the Holleye on the basement alleys last night. Patterson was high for the Splash- ers with a total of 544 and Gillham was high for the Holleys with 697. Monday ight the Beselin Mixers and the kxcel- iors will roll.

ANUAR FEW ACCIDENTS IN DOMINION Selection of Referee Will Be Hard Matter Because of the Differe en of Two Va- of Game. ence of Rul rletien NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—Considerable inter- est has been aroused in collegjate athletle clrcles over the proposed game of foot ball between the University of Toronto and Cornell university. Nothing definite has been settled as yet, but it is sald by those who know of the plan that it is practically certaln that the two teams will meet in November next on some neutral fleld Why, should these two teams meet? They play an entirely different style of game, vet the benefits to be derlved are many. Canadians desire the game in order that the question of a superiority of one style of play over the other may be definitely settled. For years it has been the conten- tion of the followers of the Canadian game that their teams wera equal, if not superjor, to the college elevens in the states. Americans desire the game fn order that it may afford foot ball authorities a clear insight into the worth of Canadian foot ball ax opposed to American. Tt is & generally accepted fact that some radical changes in American rugby rules must go into effect next fall. The game as now played has aroused much adversa criticlsm, not only from the publie, but Also from college authorities, coaches and trainers all over the country, The list of deaths and serfous accidents for this last autumn was unusual. In Canada there was not a single death and but few acel- dents of a serious nature. A game between Toronto and Cornell would clearly demon- strate the feasibility of American teams adopting Canadian rugby rules, either ih part or as a whole. Game Much Discussed, The game proposed between Toronto and Correll has been the subject of a great deal of discussion. What rules would they play under. where they would play, how would referees he chosen for such a match? These and other kindred questions have been aygued over many times by those Interested in the project. The game would be played under both sets of rules, the first half Canadlan and the second half American.’ Syracuse has been suggestel as a likely fleld, and this met with the ap- proval of all interested in the proposed gome. The question of referees will indeed prove a troublesome one, the only way to solve apparently belng to allow Canadlan and American gnme officers to judge their respective halves. This mav tend to take away some of the hoped-for henofits of the game, but at present It Is the only feasible plan which has been ad- yanced. The question of the number of men on the respective teams has apparently been settled, the idea being to allow the American team to use fourteen men during under Canadian rules and to lmit the Canadians to eleven men during play urder American rules. Complete arrangements for this Toronto: Cornell game have not been made. How- Y 3 Jeffries Says He Will Be There Pugilist Deolares it Makes Little Difference to Him Where Fight is Staged. PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 2.—“Wher It Is necessary to be to get the money 1 Wil be. It does not make any difference What statements are given or by whom, or Whether the piace {s Salt Lake, or Sun Francisco, or somewhere ose. 1 will be on hand." This was the statement made by James J. Jeffries today regarding his coming flght with Johnson. Jeftries said he had &lven out by Jack Gleason and Tex Rick- ard. He declares thers is no serious Qit- ference between the two promoters, Asked where he thought the fight would be held, Jeffries said: “Governor Spry of Utah has declared he Would not permit the fight to ocour within that state under any circumstances. It ought to be fairly Apparent that it will not be held in Balt Lake. However, as to that, you know as much about that matter as I and can draw your own conclusions." ELY. Nev. Jan. 25.—When asked what assurances he had that the Jeffries-John- son fight would be permitted in Salt Lake City, In spite of the statement of Governor Spry to the contrary, “Tex" Rickard said today: “I have the positive assurance of busi ness men, many of whom are close to the governor, that a forty-five round boxing contest can be held in Balt Lake City, and they have urged me to go on with my arrangements. The Utah aw allows box- ing coutests, and it will be noted that the governor has declared only that he will not permit a prize fight. "I am determined to keep the fight away from San Franclsco because of the mction of Johnny Herget, who, as ohairman of the police commission of the Bpard of Supervisors, tried to ‘hand one over' on me, when he thought 1 had been shut out of Utah. In view of the attitude of the chelrman of the police committee, I am determined to keep the fight out of Call- fornia If it is In my power to do 8o, You can say positively, that Salt Lake can handle the fight and that it will go there.” SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. %8.—"T have se- cured the arena in Alameda county and the Jetfries-Johnson fight will be held there.” 2 . This s the statement made late today by Jack Gleason, “I am not responsible for the attitude of Supervisor Herget,” he “and 1 applied to him for & permit 1 desired to hold the big fight In my native town. I have been offered any number of places within easy reach of this olty as locations for my fight arena, and the refusal of the police committee to grant a permit will not interfere with my Dplans. “I propose to live up to my agreement and Rickard is perfectly welcome to join me here. But If he maintains his present attitude, I will take over the contract and hold the fight without his assistance. I am going to Portland, Ore, Sunday to meot Jeffries, and after conferring with him, I wid at once get into touch with Johnson with the obfect of definitely set- tling the question,” Ir you want to sell anythug quickly ad- ever, negotiations are under way, plans are being discussed, and the game is being talked up betweon the authorities and students of the two Institutions. In all probability it will be plaved along the lines mentioned. Canadions and the stu- dents of Toronto university in particuldr, are very much interested in this propost- tion, and the game would recetve the sup- port of the student body to a man. CORNHUSKERS TAKE DRAKE IN First Game with Des Moines Team Results in Thelr Favor, LINCOLN, Jan. 20.—(Special Telegram.)— In a slow game of basket ball, the third of the championship series for the local school, the Cornhuskers’ €ive defeated the Drake team at the university armory to- night by a score of 3 to 12. The visitors played a slow game and per- mitted the speedy Nebraska sharks to get a big lead at the start. They were only fairly accurate in shooting goals and their teamwork was decidedly inferior to that displayed by the Cornhuskers. Much bet- ter goal-shooting was done by the local players than had been expected. In the Ames game last week the locals were hardly able to locate the baskets, but this evening most of thelr shots reglstered goals. Captain Perry, who last week was & star agninst the Aggles, again showed up in spectacular form and threw seven of the tield goals tallled by his team. He missed but two out of six goals on free throws. Wood, the colored guard of the Cornhusk- ers, played a brilliant game, and It was | due to his racing down the field with the | ball on dribbles that the Nebraska for- wards secured many trials at goal. The Drake players were delayed by a wreck and did not reach the gymnasium untll nearly 10 o'clock. They did not show, however, any fatigue from their long ride on the train from Des Moines. Debutts, left forward, played a much faster game' than any of his teammates and managed to shoot the ball into the basket for three fleld goals. The same teams will play again tomorrow night.

De Rouen has improved considerably in bis wrestling since here last winter, but at that Is no match for the giant Pole, who looks like the. strong man who lifts the elephants in the eircus. His muscles stand out In big hard lumps and he looks a tower of strength, whiéh he is, and which he demonstrated on several oucasions when he picked the Frenchman up bodily and tossed him around. Two glant bulks, trained to the minute, squirmed and tugged each other for nearly ar hour. The sympathy of the crowd was with the Pole, because of the previous unfalr tactios of the Frenchman. Da Rouen’s roughness did not bother Zbyszko In the least and he simbly tended to his knitting until he had the big fellow's shoulders pinned to the mat. The Pole was on the offensive nearly all the time. That the Pole understands the sclence of Graeco Roman wrestling was shown many times last evening. He put two flying mares across on the Frenchman and both times the big frog eater found himself on his back. He pulled off several stunts new to the Omaha wrestling fans. Zbyszko 1s touted as the best of all for elgn Importations in the wrestling game ard is after & match with Gotch for the champlonship of the world. Contrasted with Gotch, Considerable comment was heard as to his probable ability to hold his own with Gotch. The majority favored Gotch, for although the Pole is a glant for strength and evidently understands. the American style of the game better than any of his predecessors, he was evidently not suffi- clently skilled to put the shoulders of | Frank Gotch to the mat. They met once in Buffalo and neither secured a fall in.an hour. Nearly as much Interest attached to the preliminary match between Schwanger of Calhoun and Jack Myers of Omaha. MYers Was to secure two falls in forty minutes. It took him thirty-five to get the first and then Schwaager gave up the match.
