ing which Nebraska partisans will permit
themselves TO be drawn into conversation.
There was a time when Nebraska might
have scored. The ball had been advanced
to lowa's twenty yard line and the Ne
braekans had apparently found a weak spot
between the right forwards. They had
gained repeatedly, but we're finally held for
two downs. 1t was n delicate question
whether the same signal should be given
or whether there should be a place kick for
goal. The latter was a perilous enterprise
in muddy field with a slippery ball, but the
effort was conscentiously made The at
tempt failed miserably, the ball scarcely
rising from the ground. 1t was no error of
generalshp. but simply the fortune Of war.
Considering the weather, which is also
no ft topic OF discussion, the crowd was
satisfactory. The Young Mems Christian
association, lessees of the park, however,
took it seriously to heart that the day of
all others, when it was hoped the debt
on the park would be lifted, should have
dawncd so inauspicuously. On any one OF
a score of preceding days the grounds might
have been filled to overlooking.

SlLER WILL LIKELY RETIRE
VIII Probably Abandon Prize Ring
Because of Opposition to His
Last Decision.

The unfortunate and uncalled- for criticism
Jeffries- Sharliey fight will in all probabilty
bring to close the prominent and impor-
tant part which Siler has taken in many Of
the big bouts during the years since he
demonstrated his effectiveness as a referee.
No true sporting man has ever had the au-
dacity to openly question Siler's decision
when he declared Jeffries the winner In the
last big mill 1t is true that there has been
an exhibition Of the dog In the manger act
by some fellows who style themselves sports
and who have boldly asserted that Siler
robbed Sharkey. But investigation has
shown in every case that these fellows
self-styled sports-lost all that they could
conveniently spare, and more, too, in some
cases, on Sharkey,
man who will complain when he loses
money on a sporting event is not true blue
sport. This being the case, the howl that
these small bore fellows has made does not
lessen the character nor the standing Of
George Siler as a referee
Because OF the opposition, however, no
will hardly care to enter the ring again as
an official. Tom ORourke, Sharkeys man
ager has barred Siler from officiating at any
of the fights to be held before his club in
Gotham. In doing this O'Rourke has merely
taken advantage OF the howl raised by the
SMALL bore sports to vent his own disap-
pointment in the failure Of his man Shqrsey
to win the championship from Jeffres.

MAY HAVE NEW BOAT HOUSE
Council Bluffs Rowers VIII Either
Erect New House or Remodel
Present One at Mnnawn

The Council Bluffs Rowing association
may come into possession OF brand new
bcathouse at Lake Manawa. The Omaha &
COUNCIL Bluffs Railway and Bridge com
pany desires to secure possession Of the
nifty feet Of lake frontage owned by the as
sociatlon, and in exchange therefor agrees
to erect a magnificent new boathouse on the
southern shore OF the lake. A meeting Of
the association was held in Council Bluffs
recently, when the matter was taken under
consideration. The opinion seemed to pre-
vail that the offer was one by which the as
scCia ion would profit. No definite action
was taken, however. AT all events the
proposition of the railway company will
either be accepted or else the present boat
house will be remodeed so that the rowers
from Council Bluffs and Omaha, who yearly
enjoy the privileges of rowing on Lake
Manawa, will assuredly have better boat
house next year A committee of the Coun-
Gil Bluffs Rowing association, consisting Of
Messrs. Torrey Everett, l.. C. Besley, w. f.
Slpp, w. A. Maurer and Wallace Shepard,
has the matter under consideration 1t will
report at the next meeting and then de-
cson will be reached as to whether new
bcathouse shall be erected or the present
one remodeled and improved.

DECIDE FATE OF BASE BALL
Representative from Various Cities
Meet Here Tomorrow 10 Reorean-
ize Western Association.

Tomorrow morning in the parlor of the
Millard hotel will be settled the fate of the
proposed Western Base Ball association.
The leading exponents OF the great American
game in the middle west will meet together
at that time and discuss the why's and
wherefores and come to some conclusion. II
the reports from the various cities in the
midwest now depended upon to take mem
bershp in the reorganized association are
favorable and the representatives from these
cities give expression to the honest conyic-
tion that a team can be successfully con-
Quoted, then will the western association
spring into life again. That such a conclu-
sion will be reached now seems certain.
Enough cities in the middle west have al
ready indicated their desire to gain admis,
sion into the association and have backed
this up with satisfactory financial credentials
to insure the successful outcome OF the
dreams of Buck Keith, Tom Hickey and
thousands of base ball enthusiasts through
out the entire west. No good reason exists
why anything should arise at the preliminary

TAKE PRIDE IN THE VICTORY
Omaha Shooters Proud of Success
Scored by Representatives in
Match with kansas City.

All of Omaha's sportsmen are proud of the
record made by the ten shooters who repre-
scented the Omaha and Dupont gun clubs in
the inter-city shoot held at Kansas City
Friday and Saturday, November "a and 25.
Their winning in the contest with the repre-
sentative shooters of Kansas City was indeed
a victory, in which the participants them
selves as well as all other local sportsmen
many take pardonable pride.
The match was for fifty birds to the man
and the ten representatives from the two
cities shot in pairs each pair shooting it's
full quota of birds The first day six pairs
were shot off and Omaha secured a lead Of
eleven birds. The scores the first day were
as follows: Omaha: Schroeder, 43; Ber
sheim, 43; Brucker, 40; Plumber, As; Mead,
46; Bray, Al; total, 264 Kansas City: Por
ter, AZ: Allen, 43; Hickman, AZ; Curtice, 80;
Cockrell, As; Herman, AZ; total, 253.
For the second day Omaha had in reserve
Parmelee, Kimball, Crabill and Grant Kan
sas City also kept it's best men in readiness
for the second day and in the four pairs
which were shot on Saturday Kansas City
won every one. At the conclusion, however
the shooters from the city on the Kaw were
yet two points under Omaha. The second
days shooting was a brilliant exhibition
Gottieb of Kansas City made the star record
scoring 40. He was paired with Parmelee,
who scored AZ. Dan Bray made score OF
AZ in the first days shoot, so that he and
Parmelee were tied for the second best
record.
Omaha's representatives in the contest
were Frank S. Parmeee, j. p. Smead, j. c.
Reed G. H. Brucker, Dan Bray, G. A.
Schroeder, F. s. Crabill, T. Grant, r. Kim
ball and Gus Bershem. All are loud in
praise of the treatment accorded them by
Kansas City. Saturday night after the con-
test the Visitors were rendered a banquet
and good fellowship reigned supreme. The
Kansas City shooters WED with each other
in their efforts to make the entire occasion
a pleasant and successful one and they did
so we'll that the locals are already begin
ming to plan that the return shoot in this
city January 20 may be equally as pleas
ant.
Great credit is due our team for win
ming the shoot" said one of the partici-
pants. The birds were a hard lot, each one
was selected, and under these circum-
stances, the scores were remarkably good
The Kansas City shooters are a royal lot
of fellows and we shall never forget our
pleasant and friendly contest with them"

and went back TO the oval. An agreement
as made that the game should stop when
ever an outsider crossed the sidelines and
IT proceeded intermittently under this ar
rangment Red Oak kicked off and Pritch
ard carried the ball back to Omahas thirty
five yard line. Not once did the ball leave
Omahas possession until the goal line was
crossed. Tracy, EnEelhart, Marsh, Roberts,
Welsh and Thomas carried the ball success
siycly with perfect interference until En-
gehart was again projected over the line
and Thomas kicked another goal with nine
minutes OF the first half still to play. The
half ended with the ball in the middle of
the field.
Red Oak scores Touchdown.
In the second half Red Oak worked with the
wind and made a better showing. After sew
eral minutes play. with honors even, a Red
oak runner slipped through the line and
carried the ball forty yards for touchdown,
the home teams only score. Omaha recip-
rocated a few minutes later by pushing En-
gelhart over the line in the prescribed fash
ion for the third time, The game then pro-
ceeded to a peaceful termination, the final
score standing II to G.
In spite of the rain large crowd wit
messed the game and the gate receipts
amounted to S40O Coach Herbert Whipple
of the Omaha eleven says that according to
the contract Omaha was to have an option
of one-half the gate receipts or it's actual
travelling expenses The former amounted
to 5000 and the latter.to $45. The Omahans
were thankful to secure the Si5.
On the evening following the game
dance was arranged for the citys guests at
the hotel. The boys were too thoroughly
exhausted with the working, playing and
fighting of the day, however to enjoy this
further hospitality and retired early When
the temperature of the rooms was noted
there was a good -natured scramble for bed
clothing until the sleepy ones succumbed
and relied upon sweaters, jerseys and nat
urally vigorous constitution for warmth.
The squad returned on Friday morning none
the worse for the days outing beyond minor
bruises and contus!ons.

The Kountze Place Golf club made its first
round on the links at Twenty first and En-
met streets on November 25. The afternoon
was spent mainly in becoming accustomed
to the topography of the course and the new
clubs in the hands of the players. The en-
thusiasm manifested by all the players
augurs well for the future of the club and
already quite number of old golfers have
sent in applications for membership
1t is not anticipated that much progress
will be made until next spring, but it is the
intention of the members to take advantage
of all the good weather during the winter
and institute a systematic practice around
the course on all possible occasions.
Yesterday an increased number turned out
for play in spite of the cloudy weather and
considerable progress was made by the be-
ginners, who number large percentage of
the players. Though the links are rather
cramped, the course crossing the Twentieth
street boulevard four times, they were found
to be very satisfactory and their convenient
location is a strong point in their favor.

CRICKET STILL A LIVE ISSUE
Adherent of the Ancient Game Sees
No Reason Why 1T Should
Not Thrive.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Dee. ITO the
Sporting Editor of The Bee: Mr.. Lawrie in
his letter of last Sunday denies having as
serted that cricket had declined in public
favor in England He may not have used
those exact words. but his remarks in The
Bee of November IL would undoubtedly con-
vey that impression His article was headed
Cricket is becoming back number" Now,
leave it to anyone to decide what other
conclusion could possibly be drawn. Mr..
Lawrie may not have written the headline,
but If he did not, that only shows the i'm
preston he would leave on readers of his
article, and it was to endeavor to remove
this false impression that l ventured to
write to you two weeks ago.
Mr.. Laurie's remarks can hardly be recon-
ciled with the fact that the last season of
English cricket has been unequalled in point
of interest in the history of the game, and
the fact of the number both of spectators
and players having been greater than ever
before is an effectual answer to the state
ment that the game is too slow for the
players and altogether uninterestng to the
spectators" at any rate as far as England
is concerned. There would have been 10
misunderstanding in the matter if in writ
ing on a game which is known the world
over as the English national game Mr.. Law
RE had made it clear that his Observations
across the pond were to be applied solely
to Scotland and he would not have been
considered at all unfair If at the same time
he had admitted that, in. comparison with
England, the game had never flourished
there at all and as a matter Of fact had al
ways been a back number.
Mr.. Lawrie thinks the game too slow, but
may he not himself be putting the cart be-
fore the horse? Can it be possible that Mr..
Lawrie is too slow for the game?

OMAHA AGENCY GOLF COURSE
Enthusiasts on Omaha Indian Rcscr-
walton Have Established CoEhnr

The newest golf course is the Coghar links
on the Omaha Indian reservation, The
course is not long but one of great beauty
and offers a medium amount OF difficulty. 1t
is an oblong, under two miles in circuit, en-
circling the Omaha agency. There are eight
holes, with cross links at two points, on
one side three greens in succession for start
ing and finishing goals make the opportunity
for long or short game, The course was
laid out by Miss Light Of Fairfield Ia, who
is visiting at the agency. There are less
than a dozen players at present burt they
unite in enthusiasm.
