SHUBERTS GRANTED APPEAL
Theater Litigation Goes to n Higher
Court for Final Adjudica-
tion.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. ~11.-(special Tele-
gram.)-Despairing Of an early hearing In
the federal court on the validity of the
contract with o. d.. Woodward, the Shu-
berts, by their attorneys. applied for and
were granted an appeal aturday to the
United States court of appeals, the APP
peal from the restraining order granted by
Judge John c. Pollock. prohibiting the
Shuberts from ousting Woodward as man
ager OF the shubert tneater here. The
trial will come up In the court of appeals
at the December term. Being an appeal
in an Injunction case It takes precedence
on the docket. ...l .r.
The shubert attorneys contend that this
contract is void by reason Of Woodward
acts, while Woodward is seeking to COM
pei the Shuberts to live up to the contract.
Though the, proceedings were begun two
months ago, the question Of the validity
OF the contract is no nearer a solution
than at the outset. No date has been set
for the hearing. The Shuberts hope to TAX
up this matter directly with the United
States court of appeals. In argument for
the appeal before Judge Pollock today the
attorney for the Shuberts, being required
to give a bona for costs, asked that Wood
ward also be required to give bond.
I'll man is hostile to us, he is a rival
theater manager and he can ruin the Shu
bert thester, thereby by his acts II he
undertakes to do It," the attorney said.

BELLEVUE FAILS TO GET GAME
College IL Working AERtnst SOme
odds with Men This Year.

The Bellevue management and team
were badly disappointed at the failure to
secure a game for Saturday. 1t was ex-
pected a heavy game would be pulled off
on the local gTidiron and Coach CHEERING
TONS pupils were brought down Wednes-
day afternoon to lend a little variety to the
practice and test the efficiency of some
new plays, but the expected game fell
through and no local college was found
with the date open.
AS the next best thing the first and
second teams were lined w for a game.
The feature of the game was the diff
Guilty in telling which team was first and
which second. Many Of last years second
team men still playing as scrubs, are al
most as efficient as the men who follow
Captain Marvel.
Bellevue appreciates Marter's returning
hero this fall and for the spirit he has in
stilled into the back field, but Marter
returned at a considerable cost and also
left an offer Of coaching a freshman col
lege. q
Barry, another old man. is making the
hole at center look much smaller, Carey,
the old tackle, is the mainstay of his side
Of the line and plays the same old true,
sure. foot ball. Enfield, the fullback, makes
the same gains through the line whether
there be a hole there or not.
A big loss was suffered when Doe was
taken sick with typhoid fever and put out
Of the game for the season. He is now
In an Omaha hospital. Doe would have
made another halfback or end this year.
Munger, who has thus far made a fine
showing as halfback, has lately been half
sick. He seems physically shot to pieces
In spite Of faithful training he Is contin-
ually getting sick when on the sridiron.
The coach is worried over this position.
There are yet some men to fill the place,
but all are light, or green. Curtis
a last years man, could make a terrific
half II only someone could instill the right
spirit into him. Fast and heavy, he could
do wonders for his team. but is still q
doubtful quantity; like many new men
he seems at times to feel that he is doing
a favor to the team instead of appre-
ciating his opportunity.
Bellevue has long been a light, snappy
aggregation. This fall there are heavy
men galore. The question ia, VIII they de-
velop the stuff that makes victorious
teams2 Some would gladly change the in
crease inx weight for the snap Of past
years, yet all considered. there is contin-
uous Improvement.

Coe was beaten by Ames. 80 to o. in two
fifteen-minute halves last Saturday, while
Iowa ran up a 90 to 0 score in twenty
five and thlrty-minute halves yesterday.
The Iowa students were j~ubilant over the
result after the news was flashed over the
wires that Minnesota had only made is
to Ames' 10.
With the development which is ex-
pected this week the Hawkeye supporters
believe that the Old Gold can defeat Illi-
nois easily after its disastrous tie with
Marquette, barring injuries in the Me-
bra SKA game, when comes just the week
Coach. Catlin said little after the 80 10

couraged and look for the most successful
season since the year 1900, when Chicago
and Michigan were beaten.
The knowledge OF the game which the
Iowa players showed against Coe pleased
the spectators. The open style game Hs
well as the straight formations = we're
skillfully executed, Hyland and Perrine,
ends, did phenomenal work on receiving
the forward passes and the onside kick
was a success,
Catlin's angle play was used but twice
and worked successfully both times. Other
formations were saved for Missouri next
Saturday.

Detroit substituted u. Jones for O'Jeary

for hours until the wickets were thrown
back and the ticket sellers appeared. Later
many OF those who ha0 oeen in line all
night or since early in the morning were
to be seen attempting to dispose of their
purchases at a. slight advance in price to
late corners. Many Of them, however, were
compelled at the last moment to unload
their tickets for less money than they paid.
A number Of professional scalpers, who it

general admission tickets in the end sold
out at a discount Of from so to 70 per cent.
When play began and the grandstands
were filled there were few unoccupied seats

the four lines beyond first and third bases.
Some spectators preferred to stand behind

DRAKE AND GRTNNELL TO PLAY
This VIII BE Fastest Exhibition Des
Moines VIII See,

DIES MONIES, Ia. oct. n.-(Special)-
The fastest foot ball that Des Moines will
see will be the Drake-Grinnell game TO be
played on the Drake stadium here October
"a. This year the state university and the
agricultural college at Ames do not meet
because OF a little unplcasantness between
the. two state institutions last season.
Either of these Institutions is stronger than
any other team in the state. Therefore the
Dig game, the game that will be most
evenly matched in all the state of Iowa
thls year between Iowa teams will be that
between Drake and Grinnell on the
grounds here.
In years gone by the Drake GrinneII
game has occupied the front place in i'm
a back seat. This year 1t is to the fore
again. Reports are TO the effect that the
Grinnell team is a hummer" The re-
ports of the strength of the team arc
claimed to be exaggerated by Grinnell boys
put while many of the men on the regular
team are new and unknown the fact that
they have displaced old men OF known abil-
lty leEds color to. the belief that they are
a strong aggregation.
Drake enthusiasts have begun 10 tall
about the no doc" that ever hangs over
the Drake team when II meets Grinnell
IL Is claimed that the Drake team many
times has gone down to defeat before Grin
nell though possessing a much better team.
rms 'hoodoo' Is something that has both
cred the lie nm OF many occasions with Grn n
Lell, but not with any other team. Drake
men are hoping this year that its spell
Will be broken and are determined to win,
The importance of the game is not In
the making OF the championship so much
as In the eVenness of the teams and thr
desperation with which each will fight for
the victory OF that game.

GONDING TALKS OF MINER BROWN
veteran Catcher Says MOrdecai Is the
Nerviest of Men,

At least one man In Omaha was not sur
prised that the Cub beat the Giants in that
great play-off game in New York, when
ne learned that Miner Brown was in the
ooN for Chicago. a man was Johnny
Gondlng, Omaha's veteran catcher.
Gonding has caught Brown when he was
breaking in, when he was pitching for
Omaha and preparing TO take his place as
the greatest pitcher in the world. He had
more to do with training this young man
than any other catcher. He had a large
work In taking off the rough edges and
putting Brown In shape for faster company.
Gonding knows Brown like a book and
when the score of that crucial contest was
flashed from New York. Johnny said:
When l saw by the ticke that Mordecai
was i'm the box. / made up my mind Chit
cago would win. Mathewson Is a great
pitcher, the Giants had the advantage OF
being at home and all that: but I knew
Brown and what he was capable of ac-
completing, / tell you the equal of that
man In point of IRON nerve and logged
stamina never lived and he's the headiest
pitcher in the business. Hos got every
thing in the pitching art that a great
pitcher needs and besides that, better than
that. he's got a nerve that no other man
IN the business possesses. At times hFe
that in New York most pitchers would
weaken. hut its lust the oDposite with
Rrown-he's 81 his best under such a strain.
It's not a strain for him. rs a chance to
summon AL his marvellous powers and his
worderful nerve.
New York HADN'T a ghost ~ a show In

Doubt n another nitcher IN the country
could have beaten the Giants that day"

YORK HIGH WINS FROM ACADEMY
Big score Piled Up Against students
from Lincoln.

-
YORK, Neb., oct 11.-(Special.)-Fresh
from 4 victory over Ashland High school
team of heavyweights Lincoln Military
academy. in which are several former
star players of Omaha, Lincoln and other
Nebraska high schools felt confident and
hoped to win the four days foot bali CON
test with York. The York players were
not so confident for the reason that 1t was
their first game and the first time several
members had ever played In a real foot
ball game. In weight there seemed to be
little difference and If any 1t was in favor
of York.
Referee Mcfarland tossed the coin. Lin
coin Military academy.
They chose the south goal where they
were favored by the breeze from the south.
From the time Military academy kicked oft
and after three or four plays York played
like veterans. Within four minutes after
Lincoln Academy kicked off York made
its first touch down. The second touch
down was made in five minutes, the third
touch down in two and one-half minutes
Lincoln Academy stubbornly resisted,
hur ing is Big men at York, but were I'M
able to st.p their steady advance and
only once in the t rst half did they hold
York. They were forced to punt and twice
they tried the forward pass and failed to
make good.
At the end of the first half of twenty
five minutes the score stood York, 4S; Lin
coin Academy, 0.
In the second half for a few m nutes
1t looked as If the Academy might
be able to stop York, but York took a
squirt and played new formations atte ped
fake passes and It was a repetition Of
pillng up runs similar to the first half.

murder in the first degree is the verdict

week has listened to evidence in the Paul
Krause case. in which the defendant was
accused Of killing his divorced wife, Mrs.
Minna Grunert, by beating her to death
with q club and then hanging her body
from a hook in a clothes closet TO give
the tragedy the appearance of suicide.
The evidence was all circumstantial and
the defense endeavored to prove an abb.
A button off the vest Krause wore on
the night of the tragedy. June 3 last,
which was found in the closet where the

PITCHERS GETTING BETTEI
Moving Down the 800 BRtters with
VicfSus

'"The days OF the 800 batter Is passing
and II will be gone soon II the rules Of the
pitching DEPARTMENT remain as thew are
todav." remarked Buck Franck. Captain OF
the Omaha team, lust before he left for his
home I'm Los Angeles the other day. You
see how few $40 hitters there were In each
league this year: well, you'll see fewer
next year and soon you won't see any. OF
course, l mean this condition Will come
about providing the pitching rules remain
as they are today.
What's doing it, Well. the spit ball has
as much 20 do with II as any other one
thing, perhaps more. The spit ball is some
thing no batter can gauge or guard against.
Even the pitcher doesn't know where it's
going when it leaves HIS hand. but it's
sure 10 put a batter off watch. II Is prac-
tically unhittable. Accidents will happen
sometimes and a batter hit one OF these
mysterious curves. but not often. The re-
suit OF the spit ball has been TO cut down
the percentages OF some OF the greatest
batteFs base ball ever saw.
my guess 10 that the man who can bat
go in a year or two will be regarded .
