Amateur base ball around these jungles is just about ready to sneak under the covers for approximately six months and an old tried and found guilty entertainer commogly called foot ball will be the center of attrac- tion for some moons to come. A large number of aggregations are already lined up and prac- ticing hard a couple of nights per week and most of them will take advantage of. the daylight by working out today. Nearly every team is fortified with an experienced coach and the raw ma- terial will soon gain enough knowl- edge of the game so they can qualify for fast company. £ It has always been the desire of the local foot bll{ enthusiasts and players to mold together a team that could mop up with the Wisner Cornfeds, but to date the crape has always been hung on the Omaha squads that at- tempted to turn the trick. Last sea- son the Nonpareils came close when they lost the championship of the state to Wisner by the score of 7 to 0, Wisner has a corker of a team and they play clean foot ball, but here is hoping some Omaha bunch is rough enough to clean up'on them. Nonpareils Are Back. Of course the Nonpareils, the big noise in local foot ball circles, will be back in. the field for the supreme pur- pose of again nailing the champion- ship of Omaha to the cross. Th.e following gents are on the Nonpareil roster: Kieny, Sandau, Hassen, Ray, Moore, II;tmu, Smitsh,hFoln‘?. Su;pson.

Inasmuch as it has been impossible, to discover authen- tically the starting point of these ru- mors, Western league magnates don’t know whether a joker is loose or whether somebody is trying to sub- marine the league. The increased cir- culation of the reports that lzzy is scheduled to become the league's executive is what mystifies the mag- nates. When the first report came out last summer Isbell laughed. “They would have me pay too much money to shoulder all the grief that goes with that job,” declares the Des oines man. The other club owners also langhed. They would much rather have Isbell a franchise owner than a president, and, of course, he could hardly be both. That should have spiked the rumor instnnq{. But, instead, it seemed to give it life until now it is heard from all sides, The’| prediction that the Western league is due for an upheaval can be granted; it probably is. But no criticism suf- ficremly severe to warrant his oustin has been heard of Zehrung—most o the magnates agree the prexie has done very well—and it’s not likely 1s- bell would be given the job, anyhow. So % looks as if somebody were try- Ing to kid somebody, or start an in- ternal row in the league. St. Louis scribes are taking the hammet to the Browns. After the Browns made their sensational spurt toward the top of the ladder Messrs. Otto Stiffel and Phil Ball, owners of the club, came to bat witi‘n a number of sportsmanlike offers that should have put 100 per cent more fight into the Jones crew. Ball offered a num- ber of bonuses. He bought each man on the team a new suit of clothes. While it's tough on Ray to lose his chance to go to the majors, Omaha | fans breathed a si¥h of relief yester- day when the Cleveland American league club announced it had can- celled its draft on Ray Miller. The loss of Ray Miller would be a sad blow to the Rourkes. He's about the best first sacker that has played around Omaha in many a year. He stands second in the league batting, and he has the almost superhuman knack of scooping low throws out of the dirt. And while he is no ten- second man for speed, he’s a mighty handy man to have on the bases and he's a good run-getter for the simple reagon that he is always alert and any momentary miscue by catcher or pitcher, or any other player holding the ball, means that Miller will annex another base. And while we grant that it is hard on Ray, it's Omaha’s gain, because it means Rourke will have the best first baseman in the loop again next year. fall practice at Iowa seem in a fair way to be practically, if not entirely, discarded under the regime of Coach Jones. “Anybody can tackle a dum- my,” said Coach {onel. “We shall have the men tackling runners in or- der that they may learn the proper way to bring down a twmmg"and turning player carrying the ball. In the same way Jones opined that any- body could push a charging machine about the field, and that no particu- hole in the bucking strap. Practice at Iowa on the second day of the season was a continuance of the driving work in signals that had been administered to the first team on the opening day of work. The eleven was chased back and forth up and down the field with Jones al- ways at its heels and directing the efforts of the men. Considerable ad- vance in running off plays smoothly is already apparent, and the signals are working well. Use of the shift formation in a considerable number of the plays has been evidenced, but this indicates no radical variance from the style of play generally used throughout the west for the last few seasons. Captain_Laun, Triplett, Bowlesby, Holmes, Grubb, Fosdick and McKee continued last night to hold line po- sitions, with Jacobsen getting a try at Fosdick's ‘tackle. Bannick and Jenkins at quarter, Davis, Menden- hall, Hammond and Duncan at halves and Scott and Wyland at fullback made up the back field. The mate- rial from which the first team is to be built seems to have largely been picked. Eastern base ball experts have started discussions of the relative worth of Walter Johnson and Gro- ver Cleveland Alexander, Some fa- vor Walter, some Grover. Some say g‘ohuson must pitch against better itters, other demurr. Some say Johnson hasn't got the team behind him, Perhaps not, for hitting, but in the .fielding ' line Washington has Philagelphia lashed to the mast. There aren’t any McBrides, Fosters, Milans or Shanks on the Phillies. Walter's mates will cut down a lot of hits that Alexander's never would be able to touch. But Johnson pitches in one league, Alexander in an- other. Alexander's record, of course, is the better, but it would seem that argument over the merits of these two hurling wonders is foolish, there isn't any way to arrive at an unpreju= diced ‘decision. If you're from Ne- braska Alexander is the better pitch- er; if you're from Kansas it's John- son. St. Louis is a grand little city.

Commercial High Eleven Has Stiff Week of Practice At the end of the first week of practice the Commercial High school eleven has the looks of one which will bring home the bacon. There has been an averagc of thirty-five candidates out for practice every day during the last week. Coach Drummond, expecting to buck up against Central yesterday, gave his squad a good deal of hard work in scrimmage the last few days, which has put the team in first class condition. The game was postponed a week, however, Starting this week, Commercial will have scrimmage practice against the Council Bluffs eleven twice a week. On end positions, Paul Stoetzel, Milton Morearty, Emil Rokusek, Herb Welsh and Zeleith Skriver are showing up in fine shape. Frank Ross, Oscar Shalberg, Carl Hirth and Harry Anderson look to be the most romising guards. Carl Harsch and erry Shirley are counted on as tackles, and Lanky Reeves at center. The backfield is fast and will be good on both the offense and defense. Charles Conhiser and Leo Kane are the quarterbacks and Don Peters and umbo Carlisle, fullbacks. Bill Dewey. illiam Gorman and Hunk Rokusek will be the halfs. The Commercial High schedule to date is as follows: September 30—Central at Omaha. October 7—Wlair at Blair. Octtober 13~=Norfolk at Norfolk. October 31—Logan at Logan November d—South Side at Omaha. November 10—Sghool for Deat at Omaha, C“P;uvcmlnr 30—Nebraska City at Nebraska Omaha Fans May See Donaldson Attempt To Baffle Rourkes A game between the Rourkes, win- ners of the Western league pennant, and the All-Nations, the famous cos- mopolitan organization of which Donaldson, the negro hurler, is the star, is a plan Pa Rourke has on foot. Omaha fans who have seen Don- aldson mow down the Brandeis slug- gers repeatedly for several years, have always been more or less cu- rious as to how Donaldson would fare with Western leaguers. There are those who believe he would be just as good ngainst the Rourkes as against the Brandeis. There are others who believe the pros would drive him to cover pronto. It would be an interesting combat, and Rourke is now in communication with the All-Nations. If the game is arranged, it will be played a week from today. \Guy Holland Takes Up Golf to Improve \His Batting Optic Chick Evans had better Jaok after his laurels. For Bunny Holland, crack hurler on the Luxus nine, has taken up the golf game and asservates that with another year's experience he will be- come the world's greatest left-handed golfer. Bunny cuts up his golf capers over the muny links at Elmwood park. He took Johnny Dennison, manager of the Luxus, to a trimming the other day and he has Doc Coughlin, the club’s medico, pleading for mercy all the time. “Golf is good for ly;cmr batting eye,” says Bunny. “Both Cobband myself have made great strides since we took up golf.” Virg Rector Joins Brandeis Quintet Virgil Rector, former Omaha High school star and for the last three years a regular on the Dartmouth University quintet, has signed up to glay with the crack Brandeis Stores asket ball team this winter. Rector should prove a valuable addition to the Brandeis five and followers of Warren Ritchie's crew are more hope- ful of another championship than ever, Bill Fox Wants to See White Sox Cop Pennant Bill Fox, the celebrated muny ump, who is one of the most ardent base ball fans in town, is pulling for the White Sox to win the American league flag. For Bill wants to see a world’s series game. If the White Sox cop the flag, Fox intends to drive overland to Chicago in his machine to see the conflicts there. Bunny Holland and Ernie Rushenberg have promised to go with him. And that is why Bill watches the score board all afternoon whenever the.

ALL.STAR OLASH TODAY By FRANK QUIGLEY. The Douglas County Agricultural society will hold a base ball taurna- ment in conjunction with the county fair, They will put up $200 to be divided ag follows: $100 to the win- ners, $50 for second place and $25 to each of the other contesting teams. One game will be played on October 4, another on October 6, and the win- ners of these games will stage the wind-up * on Saturday, October. 7. Herewith the teams that will fight it out: Armours, chdmpions of Omaha, 1916; Luxus, 1915 champions and champions of the Greater Omaha league; Ramblers, champions of the National Ieuguc, and the Omaha Gas Co., runnerups in the Greater Omaha league. Next week the teams will decide by a flip of a coin or by drawing straws, when and whom they will ‘)lny, Each team will be required to play six of their regular players, but any class A amateur can be used to fill in the gaps. Game called cach day at 2:30 p. m. Game at Rourke Park. The main attraction on the boards for today will be the mixup billed at the Rourke emporium between the | Brandeis and All Professionals. Oleson will twiggle for the Brandeis and the Professionals will probably use_three or four mound artists. For three consecutive seasons, nlmelé 1914, 1915 and 1916, the Lin- coln _ielnern have cleaned every- thing in Lincoln, and this season they | won t'p amateur championship of] Nebraska, and also paved the way to participate in the semi-finals for the chn_mpquhl of the United States, which will be staged at Houston, Tex., gome time in October. They carned their eligibility by defeating)| the St. Paul Transfers last Sunday by a 5 to 3 score, and on Tuesday they trimmed the Minneapolis General Electrics by the score of 1 to 0. Krajiceks Leave. Saturday at 2 a. m. the Krajiceks, class C, champions rolled out of Omaha enroute to Des Moines, Ia, where this afternoon they will meet the State Serum and Supply company team, the class B chanipions of Des Moines, Ia. Bernard Hageman, pres- ident of the Booster league, and Frank Hubatka, president ,of the Southern league, accompanied the team. Friday afternoon at four bells and a half the Murphy Did Its, class B champions of Omaha, bonnfcd a rate ler labeled for St. Louis. President Jacobs of the City league and William the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association, were S0 in The expenses of this trip and the Des Moines trip will be paid by the local association. The Murphys will play a preliminary of the amateur championship games being pulled off at St. Louis. Grid Team Centers Around Omaha Chap To occupy the shoes of Harold Pogue, one of the most sensational halfbacks the west ever knew, is all that Coach Bob Zuppke is asking of former Omaha igh school at Illinois. Klein is the only returning back- field letter man Zuppke has except Captain Macomber, who the Illinois coach will play at quarter this year. Kiein subbed for Pogue last year This year he will be the veteran of the backfield and the man upon whom most of the work will fall, The Omaha ‘lad only weighs 150 pounds and will be the lightest man on the team, but Zuppke believes he will be able to accomplish the task. Fontenelle Grid Eleven /Reorganizes for Season The Fontenelle foot ball team has reorganized for the approaching sea- son and will start practice Mondav evening at Forty-second street and Ames avenue. Anyone wishing a trial with the Fontenelles is asked to call Colfax 3994 between 5:30 and 7 p. m.

The Omaha Ad club is taking on new life this fall and plans are under way looking to a very active season. Among other things planned is a round table course in advertising, each phase of advertising being dis- cussed by special speakers from the outside and by club members who are most familiar with each subject, The club membership has increased materially in the last year and most of the new members are the real ad- vertising men of the city.

LINCOLN PROMISES AID The formation and organization of a western amateur base ball associa« tion is being contemplated by offi- clals of the Omaha and Lincoln ama- teur base ball associations. Omaha and Lincoln are a bit dis- ! satisfied with the national associa- tion, This year there are two na- tional organizations, one the associa- tion in which Omuh; and Lincoln hold membership, the other the ceseding federation, with headquars ters in Cleveland and Cincinnati, and in which Des Moines holds a fran- chise, 2 As a result, both organizations lack some of the good towns in holding the national championships. Cleve- fand, Cinemnatl, Toledo, Chicago, Johastown, Pa., Des Moines, for in- stance, are in_the federation, while Indianapolls, Omaha, Lincoln, Min« neapolis, St. Paul, Louisyille and Houston are in the association. Lincoln Promises Aid. J. J. lsaacson, president of the Omaha nwclnlon, and O, H. Rempke, president at Lincoln, had a conference last week and discussed the advisability of organizing a wes- Omaha could start the ball rolling and organize just such a body be- camse Smnhl is the most powerful amateur base ball towh in this part of the country. /‘Rempke promised active support and co-operation from Lincoln, A western association could include such cities at Omaha, Lincoln, Min- neapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, Des Moines, St. iouph. Kansas City, Sioux City and perhaps Sioux Falls, Denver and Colorado Springs. It would be a compact circuit and a strong one, The western association could stage its own championship series and then have the winners play the winners of the other two associa- tions, Omaha amateur officials are seri- ously considering the matter and in- tenid sceking the opinions of other cities. 1f the replies are favorable, ; organization work will probably start this fall. \ Rourkes to Barnstorm Through State This Week A barnstorming tour throurll Ne- braska is on the program for the ennant-winning Omaha Ball club. g‘he tour through the state starts to- morrow or Tuesday, the Western lu‘ple geason closing tnda{.
