HASTINGS, Neb., Feb. 15.—Special Tele- | gram.)—The Nebraska State Base Ball league, with six progressive towns In the circuit, was organized at a well attended and notably enthusiastic meeting in Eagles' hall last night. A seventh town—Kearney— applied for membership and its admission was deferred two weeks and left condi- tional on fts mustering another city to make up an elght-club circult. The schedule will be arranged as soon as it is known whether the league s to remain as it was formed last night or be enlarged to | take in two more clubs. The accepted towns are Hastings, Grand Island, Red Cloud, Superior, Seward and Fremont.' Each of these places reported a fund of $2,600 or more available with which to start preparations and assumed the ob- lMgations Imposed in the by-laws, relative to guaranty of attendance and forfeit for tallure to complete the schedule. Kearney and Friend also sent representatives who gave satisfactory assurances that these re- quirements could be met by clubs in their towns, but the delegates from the six towns that were included in the temporary or- ganization at the Grand Island conference assumed that Friend was too small to properly maintain & team. Tegporary Organisation. To get the league movement under way the promoters formed a temporary organ- ibation with Percy Renner of this city as chairman and Charles Ritzman, also of Hastings, as secretary. Then followed a discussion as to the best method of pro- ceeding with the formation of the league, At the suggestion of Henry Sievers, of Grand Island, the representatives of the six towns that figured In the Grand Island meeting—Hastings, Grand Isiand, Red | Cloud, Superior, Seward and Fremont—were | authorized to retire and determine upon the number of clubs to be admitted. They were not long in making up their report, which rejected Friend and gave Kearney two weeks In which to find an elghth city. This report was adopted and the delegates then formally organized by electing Henry Slevers, president-secretary-treasurer, com- bining the three offices in the interest of economy. Mr. Sievers acknowledged the honor iIn aii address that made an ex- tremely favorable Impression on everybody present. With words that carried convic- tion, he declared that he would administer the affairs of the league with absolute im- partiality. In relation to umpires, he said his appointees would be from towns outside the circuit. He discussed the business side of the project and encournged his hearers in the bellef that the league can be satis- factorily maintained. No Favorites Played. “‘And because I live in Grand Island,” Mr. Selvers reiterated, “I don’t want you to get the idea that Grand Island is going to get the best of it In anythin, A. C.

This forfeit must be put up on or before March 1 The guaranty to visiting clubs for each same will be $30, but this may not be pald when games are prevented by rain or_muddy condition of grounds. |, The season will extend from about May 15 to about September 15, which will give tme for a schedule of approximately 100 #ames. The schedule will be arranged by | to March 1, as the teams have until that time to formally qualify for membership.

The handicap between Mahmout and Zbyszko came out just as anyone who knew the two men belleved it would and must. Even Mahmout never had the re- motest idea he could throw the big Pole twice In an hour, or at least he could not have belleved he was enough better than Zyb to offer him those odds. He went Into the deal_only because these were the only terms on which Zybszko cared to meet Mahmout at this time. They both aspire to beating Gotch and for that reason don't care to lose any finish matches. Of course this notion that any man now before the public may have of throwing Gotch is moonshine, tor Gotch is in a class to himself. Both Mahmout and Zbyskko are good men, perhaps a shade better than anybody else except Gotch and Farmer Burns, but there they must remain. It these two foreign glants ever do come to- gether in a finish, catch-as-catch-can match it will surely be a hummer. J. H. Herman, manager for Zbyszko, has written letters to several leading papers in the west, asking them to,do what they can to force Dr. Roller into a finish match with Zybszko. Here is a copy of the letter: 1 see where Roller {8 to wrestle Ordemann in Seattlo tonight. Do you think there s a chance of ever getting that fellow on the mat with Zbyssko? 1 think the sporting public ought to force him to wrestle or else declare himaelf, for 1 am willing, on behalf of Zbyssko to sign articles upon any condl- tions as to the division of the purse. All I want is a finish battle, and if Zbyszko doesn’t win in straight falls 1 will give his share of the proceeds to any charitable organization that you or your paper may suggest. Do what you can to force Roller into a bout with Zbyssko and, as I stated to you in a former ietter, any arrangements that you may make will be lived up to by Zbyszko. All we want is a finish contest 1 remain, sincerely yours, o HERMAN. Roller “Won" It. This O:demann wrestle to which Herman refers went in favor of Roller. Which means nothing. Roller has ‘“won” many such wrestles in his home town, but nobody who knows him and the men he is sup- posed to have thrown, belleves for a minute that the matches were on thelr merits. Roller is a fine appearing fellow, good bulld and flashy, but he is not a top-notch wrestler, nor has he any amount of nerve. He has ducked and dodged for over a year to avold a match with Jess Westergaard and refused to finish match every time with anyone who could not see his way clear to a mutual ‘‘understanding” before hand. If Roller ever goes Into a fair, finish contest with Zybszko, Mahmout or Westergaard, he will be quickly unmasked. | But he probably will never go into such %0 long as he and his shrewd partner, Jack Curley, can avold It. ' Should Westergaard be able to down Zbyszko, a matter fraught with much doubt, he will then be matched with Mahmout. Mahmout and Zbyszko are so evenly matched that they probably will be compelled to go it for a finish wrestle be- fore the country will be willing to accept either as the challenger of Gotch. Novel Way of Getting Married Couple Go Into Court and Get Divorce Dissolved Without Getting a License, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander K. Chambers, deciding that it was not good to live alone, have taken a novel method of getting re- married. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers were divorced by decree of district court Novem- ber 4 of last year, Mrs. Chambers getting the decree on the ground of monsupport. Instead of getting a license and being re- married, they went into district court ain and asked Judge Day to dissolve the decree which separated them Now, Judge Day had just left the law for the equity side of district court, and It is on the equity side of course where un- happy married folk come to get thelr gall- ing chains severed. Rut Judge Day's first act as a judge of the equity division was not to grant a divorce—and this would have been the expected and likely thing. Instead he listened favorably to Cham- | bers' plea and dissolved the decree. Forth- | with Alexander and Gladys Chambers once more became man and wife. Mr. Cham- bers is a salesman for the Powell Supply | company and lives at 224 Templeton ave- nue.
