CONTRAGTS 60 0UT Pa Mails Documents to Men on Reserve List—Other Rourkes Already Signed Up. OTHER WESTERN LEAGUE NEWS Contracts those athletes are named on the Omaha club's reserve list to who will be sent out by Pa Rourke Monday Contracts wal be sent to but nine play- ers. This number {5 unusually small, as General Rourke sends contracts to some twenty men about this time each year, The men to whkom contracts will be sent are: Ernie Krueger, catcher; Bobby | Wells, catcher; Clink Claire, catcher: Cecil Thompson, pitcher; Lou North pitcher; Burney Everdon, pitcher; Fritz Schlicbner, first baseman; Earl Smith, | outfielder; Cy Forsythe, outfielder | Of this number several will in all prob- abllity be traded, sold, glven away or fired. Bobby Wells and Burney Everdon are not expected to be among us, and | Thompson may not report. Cecil is seri- | ously consideriag the abandonment of the national pastime as a mode of earning food and drink. The others are reason- ably sure of jobs. Four Rourkes Signe Four other Rourkes are already under contract and another as good as signed Those who have signed are Manager Marty Krug, Pete Kilduff, shortstop, and Pitchers Ainsworth and Second Baseman Harold Irelan is as good os signed. | Pitcher Brown is an Indian who halls | from Wisner. Jlie was recommended to | Rourke by Cyrus Forsythe, who appointed | himself a scout for the occasion. Cyrus played against Brown last fall after the| Western season was over and promptly slipped Rourke the news that Mr. Brown was some pitcher, “I'm no scout,” said the Tango Kid, “but I know a pitcher | when 1 bat agamst one, and this bird is | £0od." Rourke took the tip and signed the redskin and will give him a trial in the spring Brown olland s Happy. Down in St. Joseph Jack HoMand is just bubbling over with a lot of enthusiasm. 1f Holland is getting enthusiastic pros- pects in Joetown must be good, for last | season Jack lost most of his love for St Joseph when the citizens of that village | chose to blow jitneys on film shops in-| tead of two-bit pleces on ball games. Holland has a whole flock of new ath- | letes, In fact, he will pretty nearly have | & new team, and he says the new lads will carry the Drummers toward a flag. | ‘We shall see, we shall see, Jack may be right. Two of Hollani's old men have been returned to him by Joe Tinker. They are Pitcher Adams and Infielder Webterzil, Both hurdled from St. Joseph to the Feds and made good in the bigger loop. They should prove valuable men in the ap-| proaching Western campaign. Also Holland got Shortstop Keating | from Tinker. Mr. Keating is sald to be a mighty sweet flelder and a fairly good | hitter. But Jack says the big man he | will get from the Cubs will be a pitcher. | It will either be Robbins or Wright. Both are good men, Robbins perhaps a litile better than Wright, Either should make &ood in, Class A company. Holland in all has about twenty men signed, including a dozen youngsters who look ke comers. Holland may pluck a star or two out of this batch. Lincoln Club Meeting. The annual mecting of the stockholders of the Lincoln base ball club will be held February 8. Treasurer J. G. Burkett has issued certificates of stock to those who signed up, and the stock with an an- nouncement of the meeting has been mafled out. One Omaha man is listed in the number of stockholders. He is Dan Gaines of the Merchants hotel. Dan | bought & block worth $200, | Got Contract from | Brooklyn Club and Thought It a Joke; “The young player of today,” remarks | the veteran Bert Cunningham, “is not particularly shy or bashful. He think: he has a right to play in the fastest cir- cies, and If he were to receive a wire telling him to come at-once to Detroit and supplant Ty Cobb he wouldn't think it was a joke. He'd simply think that the wise magnates had recognized his value. “It was different with some .of us, though, long, long since. Myself, for in- stance. I was a semi-pro, pitching a couple of gam:s a week, these thirty years ago, when I was astounded one day by recelving a telegram from Brook- | Iyn offering me a high salary as a pitcher | for that aggregution. I simply declined | to belféve it. Thought it must be a cheap | practical joke. Minally \ showed the | telegram to a cotcher named Brennan, | who was a big leaguer, too, in later years. | “Brennan cogitated awhile. ‘I got the | 1dea,’ said he. ‘You wire right back to| the Brooklyn club, collect, and tell ‘em | to send you at once a rallroad ticket and §100. " If they send the stuff, then you'll now it wasn't any joke; if they don't, why, a joke it must have been.’ | “This impressed me as Solomonic wis- dom. 8o I did even as Mr. Brennan sug- | gested; & few hours afterward the cash | arrived, and then I knew that it was| neither & joke Tor a dream, and that I | was on my way to be a major leaguer."” Tip for Athletes: , Eat Lotg of Sugar| Hannes Kohlemainen and Villar Kyro- nen, the two greatest distance runners in the country, say the amount of sugar they eat s responsible for their great en- durance and ability to recuperate after » hard race. Both runners eat sugar systematieally as part of their everyday diet. Before a race they sometimes dissolve as many as | six lumps of sugar in a glass of water and drink it. | i | | SAYLOR GETS DECISION | OVER STANLEY YOAKUM | KANSAS CITY, Jan. 20.—Milbourne | Saylor of Indianapolis won a declsion in | en rounds over Stanley Yoakum of Den- | ver here tonight.

CASE OF GERMAN AGAINST DANE Omaha wrestling fans are looking for- ward to Friday night with considerable expectancy. For on that evening Charley Peters of Omaha and Paul Martinsen of Chicago will engage in a little grapple at the Auditorium, It will be a case of German against Dane when this pair lock horns, And Peters {s out for revenge. Charley was a member of Pots Loch’s German tug-of- war team which was recently licked by the Danish|crew, and Charley is deter- mined that the German race shall be vin- dicated by a quick and decisive victory over Martinsen, who is a Dane. Omaha wrestliog fans who have seen Peters in action declare Joe Stecher is the only grappler In the wide, wide world who would have a chance against him. They figure that Feters will make mince- meat out of Martinsen. Peters, like BStecher, Is possessed of a wonderful sclssors hold. While Peters hasn't the pawer ir his legs Stecher has, partly because lie is a smaller man, he knows how to apply the sclssors in a entific ‘and rapid manner. He gets it from almost any position, But the scissors isn't the only hold Charley has corked up in his box of tricks. He knows every other hold of the game and knows how to use it. Martinsen, on the other hand, expresses some doubt as to the superiority of Pet- ers. Martinsen figures,that Stecher 1s the only wrestler who can beat him. The Chicagoan doesn't deny this, because Joe | But | has dumped him bhalf a dozen times. Martinsen stays longer with Stecher than most of them, and he is a finished wres- tler, He should be able to give Peters a mighty tough tuesle, and even stands a chance for victory The Omaha Athietie club is staging the match, This club was recently organized by a crowd of Omaha sport lovers and | Farmer maker, Burns The ciu manager and has only match- staged one approaching one.

The 1918 | Huskers will start the season under the most flattering conditions, Reed declares, with sixteen men of the 1914 and 1916 squads available The review discloses there will be mighty few places on the 1916 eleven which will not have the brawn and ex- perience of veterans. Dr, Stewart will find a pair of veteran tacaies, two veteran ends, a vetefan guard, three veteran centers, two veteran quarterbacks, four vetoran halfbacks, two veteran fullbacks and the gremtest wealth of material from the freshmen squad in the history of athlotics at the Cornhusker Institution.

The freshmen squad also furnishes some dandy material for the varsity next season.
