Brin girlg Up THIS IS PROF, F.A.KERR -THE HYRNOTIST! Judgments OUR voluble friend. Norrls L. | O'Neill, president of the West- conneoted with. | ern league, the the week, and the outcome was a most astonishing letter to the managers of the clubs of the league. In his remarkable communica- tlon, the president of the league told the managers they were to lay before the players and at once secure assent to one of two propositions: Bither the players afé to continue during the season on a percontage basis, or they must accept an Immediate and radical cut In pay. Failing to acquiesce in either of these plans will subject the player to the ut- most possible punishment, as the presi- dent will suspend the playing season of the league, and thus throw all the play- ers out of work. If either of the plans is adopted, and a player declines to ac- cept it, he will be sent to a lower classi- fication, One wonders just where the president of the Western league derives the power that will enable him to carry out in full his plans. The situation in which the Western leagne finds itself is just a lHttle bit pecillar, and maybe precarious, but it seems & trifle early In the season to talk of disbanding because of the bad weather, If it were possible to forecast the weather for the entire season, and know that the rains would continue, then some reason for giving up might exist. But threo-fifths of the playing season yet remain, and with a reasonable pros- pect that favorable conditions will attend the majority of the games. It is true that ‘the owners have already sustained heavy loswes as a direct result of the untoward weather conditions, and Rourke of Omaha s very likely the heaviest loser, as he was rained out of the best part of his first home series; atl & time when his teatn was going along well, and pube interest was keen. Mr. Rourke estimstes his loss at not less than 35,000 on this aoccount, and he is probably under rather than over the mark. Ad- mitting this, there is yet time to recoup, with favorable weather. y— To begin with, the player is protected by a contract, which, if a base ball con- tract Is worth anything, gives him assur- ance of his pay at a certain rate during the playing season, or as long as his services are satisfactory and’ he is not guilty of such misbehavior as would sub- ject him to dismissal from the service of the club. How can Mr, O'Nelll set aside~ these contracts? Again, under what show of right can he assign a player to a “lower classification?” If & Player be dlsmissed from the eervice of the Western league, he ls at lberty to sign anywhere he can get employment, and no member or officlal of the West- e league can legally Interfere with him. If the league breaks its contract with the player, he not only becomes a free agent, but it would be the helglitt of impudence for the president of that league to sug- gest that he be not employed elsewhere becauseé of his having incurred the au- gust displeasure of the executive, Just why the players should be re- quested Lo share the losses of the teams is mot apparent. They are never invited to participate in any profits of the ven- ture, and i's & poor rule that doesn't work both ways. The player is engaged at a rate of pay the owner thinke will make his services profitable. If he docsn’t deliver the goods, he is set adrift; # he does deliver, he ought to have the rate agreed upon. Western league play- ers, in common with all otherw under the, National agreement, suffered a re- duction in pay at the beginning of the present season, and no very §ood reason exists why they should be aeked Lo again submit to have their rates slashed. It the owners feel it would be unwise to gontinue through the season at the pres- ent rate, their better course would be to close up shop. stationery again during Father CHATTER OF THE SANDLOTS Newly-Annexed South Omaha Teams | Showing Themselves Worthy of the Big City. | ARMOURS LEADING OLASS A By FRANK QUIGLEY. to Omaha the other day, nevertheless the writer will still recognize the squads as Bouth Omaha. teams, because as soon as Greater Omaha puts on a real metropoll- tan air the different sections will be recognized as south, east, west and north. Just wanted to call the fans' attention to the fact that three South Omaha teams are roosting on the higest pedestal in three different leagues. The Armours are on top in the Greater Omaha league and from present indications they will 'n all probablility cop the pennant and inci- dentally .100 plunks. The winner of the Greater Omaha league can have a real spread on 100 bones. In the Intercity league the Brown Park Jhniérs look rather sugary. Trimbis Bros. are right on thelr heels and so are the Bouth Omaha Midgets, but they will have to step some to put a crimp in the aspira- tions of the Parks. From the jump-off the Brown Park Merchants have been snoozing on the top roost of the City leagiie and If they don't inhale too much confidence, and if Madam IN Luck will pass them up, it is a safe wager that they will waltz away with the flag. From appearances in the Nationdl league it looks like the Ramblers will ramble away with the gmpes. With Benny Monroe shooting the pills over the crockery for the J. D. Crews of the Booster league it will be s difficult mat- ter for the opposition to mose them out of the exalted position which they now hold. The other real contenders in this league are the G. A. Nelsons and the Tradesman. Three teams are rather close in the Bouthein league, und, as the com- petition is keen and the teams approxi- mately evenly matched, it wonld be pre- posterous to usher an opinion as to which crew will grab the bunting. The South- east Improvement club, Corr HElectrics and Bt Francis aggregations are the conundrums of this league. Shoe M n Lead.

OROSS-COUNTRY IS ELIMINATED By JAMES B. LAWRENCEH, LINOOLN, June b.—(Special.)—Athletic Manager Guy E. Reed, who has charge of track athletios at the University of Ne- braska, has decided on a general reor- ganization of the work as a result of the @isastrous track season which the Corn- huskers experienced this year. Reed's plans call for fall track practice outside as long as the weather permits and train- ing will be continued in the gymmasium during the winter months, The fall track work will take the place of cross-country running—it now being the plan to drop that branch of sport at Nebraska, owing to the lack of interest and'the faot that Nebraska has not made & particularly bright showing in it during the last three years. With the expense of oross-ootintry eliminated, Teed figures, the athletic board can give cups to wi- ners in the preliminary meet he will hol at the oconclusion of the outdoor fall practice. \ ‘The Huskers will lose three and pos- sibly four men from the track squad as a result of graduation.

Owens defeated the fvarsity recruits regularly in practice. Gatrison is another member of the fresh- men squad who looks good to Reed. Eight Men Get Letters. Letters were granted to elght members of the track squad st the meeting of the athletio board this week. Those receiv- ing “N's" were, E. B. Scott, John Deer- ing, 0. H.

The election of & captain for the track squad will take place soon, Manaker Reed having mailéd out ballots to those members of the squad who have returned home. Cornhuskers' finances are golng to benefit greatly, it is anticipated, as a re- sult of the referendum in the Missouri Valley conference, Wwhich restores Turkey day foot ball games.
