MAC CLEANED EN- OUT ANYWAY
David Harum Makes Complete Chang
In the Sc. Louis Cardinals.

IN inc 6NH LOUIE 0AEuANhAHs
The release Of Arthur Hostetter to Mil
waukee OF the American association, an
nounced by Owner Stanley Robson OF the
Cardinals, marks the passing Of the last OF
the players who composed the National
league team when Manager John ]. Nc
Closkey landed in ST. Louis, says the Re
public.
McCloskey. who will be at the helm Of
the Milwaukee ship. will again have charge
OF Hostetter. John J. always has been
sweet on Hostetter and since he signed with
the Wisconsin aggregation has been angling
for him. No consideration Is mentioned.
It is probable that a player or players will
come this way early I'm the season.
Hostetter, whose real name is Hoelsketter,
came to the st. Louis National league team
in the fall Of 1906 from Denver, of the West
ern league, as a third baseman. He played
the far corner with indifferent success and
the following spring blossomed out as a
pitcher.
That spring he won the only game OF the
ante-season series between the Browns and
Cardinals, the American leaguers taking six
out Of seven. Since that time Hostetter has
played every position on the diamond, wind
ing UP last season as a catcher.
Hostetter would make a valuable man
for any team IL it were not for his bad pegs.
From the knees up he is one of the best
players in either league. but his legs refuse
to keep pace with his head and arms. He
las one of the greatest throwing arms in
the business, and at the field meet at Gin
cinnati carried off the honors in the long
throwing contest.
The release of Hostetter marks the pass
ing Of all the players Of the 1906 team from
major league company, with the exception
of Buster Brown, now with the Philadel-
phia Nationals. whose time is short.
Hostetter at third, Danny Shay at short,
Farrell at second and Jake Beckley at first
composed the infield. Spike" Shannon in
left. Homer Smoot at center and Jack Dun
leavy in right was the outfield, while the
catchers were Mike Grady and Jack O'Neill
The supposed-to-be reliable twirlers were
Jack Taylor, Buster Brown and "Chappy
Chawles'' Mcfarland.
Shay and Shannon were traded to the

NEW YORK. Jan. 9.-Since the original
applications for national Championship
tournaments were sent out by w. Fellowe.
Morgan, secretary of the United states
Golf association, the Merton Cricket club

START FOR THE BALLOON RACES
President of Aero CIub Looking for

NEW YORK, Jan. "a. Holland Forbes,
first vice president of the Aero Club Of
America, has gone west on a tour Of in
spectlon of grounds which have been Of
fered to the club for the start of the an
nusl grand prize balloon race under its
auspices in the first week of June, next.
The cities tending the free use of grounds
also offered suitable gas free, and there
is no doubt that Mr.. Forbes trip will re-
suit in a definite selection. The race is
to be open to all America. Federation rules
will govern. Ali balloons will be limited
to a capacity Of 1900 cub feet, with a
5 per cent leeway, and each will be re-
qulred to carry two persons, one of whom

CROTTE IN BOWLING POLITICS
Boosted as President Of Middle West
Bowling Association.
ONE HUNDRED 60 FROM OMAHA
Interest in the Second Annual Meet
VIII Draw About seven Hun
dred Leading BOwIers to
81. Joseph.

Dick Grotte. the popular assistant city
building inspector and president Of the
commercial Bowling league. has been
launched forth as a candidate for the presi-
dency OF the Middle West Bowling asso-
citation. To make good on its claim to the
presidency and to give Grotte a good boost,
about 100 bowlers VIII go from Omaha to
st. Joseph to attend the second annus
bowling tournament, which will be held in
that city January % to February T.
1t is now certain that Omaha will send
over ten sive-men teams, about twenty-five
two-men teams and about ~slxty-five bowl
ers for the individual contests. thus giving
probably as large a delegation ss
any city, except possibly st. Joseph. will
have at the tournament. Omaha has always
taken a lead in sports and is going to the
fore in bowling.
G.. A. Francisco OF Omaha is now presl-
dent of the association and has been work.
ing hard to make the ST. Joseph meeting
a big success, which now seems certain, as
the indications are that over 700 bowlers
will attend the tournament. He has been
most industrious in helping to make the
meet a big success.
Some good prizes are hung up for the sec.
ond annual tournament OF the Middle West
Bowling asso~ciation-prizes which are worth
going after. Among other prizes are $50
in hard cash and this should be sufficient
to tempt even q larger number Of bowlers
from their winter quarters. The manage
ment has so arranged affairs that no team
will be compelled to remain in St. JOSEPH
longer than two days, as they will be able
to play their games and then scoot for
home as soon as their play is over.
1t is expected that 40 five-men teams
will contest, $50 two-men teams and about
700 for the single prizes.

FOOT BALL PLANS AT DARTMOUTH
Coaching for the Coming Season Is
settled Upon.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 9.-At a meet
ing of the Dartmouth College Athletic
council, held in this city, the coaching
plans of the foot ball team were deter
mined upon for the coming year. In
stead of a head coach being selected and
allowing him to choose his own assist
ants. the council appointed the head
coach and his three assistants as well.
W. W. Lollard, '05, of st. Louis was
elected head coach. His assistants are:

Wrestling has profited by the outlawing
in so many states of prize fighting. For
the last two winters the mat has been pop
ular. but this winter has eclipsed the
former seasons. In Chicago, where wrest-
ling had died out because Of certain allie
cations attached TO It, the patronage this
winter has been enormous Whether 1t is
due to a genuine revival OF interest in the
old game or whether more to the fact that
men Of sport-loving natures are determined
to have some winter pastime and cannot
have boxing so long as the law holds 1T
under the lid. the fact remains that wrest-
lers have done well. These wrestlers may
secure their popularity IL they will do the
wise thing and see to it that any odium
that may have arisen from hippodroming
in past years is made impossible. 1t is a
grand sport and will be patronized as long
as II is kept on the high plane of decency.
Base ball is a living example OF what a
square game may accomplish.

Now that it is all over, would 1t be ask
ing, too much Of the National commission
fer it 10 let us know Just exactly what it
was It expected to back Mr.. Tebeau into?
1t certainly had a hole dug for him some
where. or 1t would not have dilly-dallied so
long and then given him everything he
asked for. The results OF the Cincinnstt
treaty Of peace look all right, but it must
be conceded that the way by which the
peace pact was brought about shows up
the National commission in rather an un-
euviable light. 1t could have saved its
face by doing what Tebeau said do at
the outset, instead OF fatty refusing them
and completely giving in later. The whole
thing inevitably suggests that the commits
sion must have been led around to the
place where Tebeau keeps his power plant
and treated to a good look-in.

1t Is well enough In this heydey OF base
ban prosperity and good fellowship for the
guardians of the game TO reflect that it's
a good idea in times of peace to prepare
for war. Lifting the bane from Ward,
sebring, Chase and a few other players
who have defied organized base ball does
not serve TO increase the players respect
for the blacklist or other penal laws. It's
well TO make progress slowly in such d.
r~ections.

Martin tFarmer) Burns, the dean OF.
wrestlers, has come to Omaha TO live. He
has brought his family and will educate
his children in Omaha schools. This gives
to Omaha a man whose distinction in his
profession is unmatched. Bordering on 30
yeaPs Of age. he is today one of the very
best wrestlers OF the world, perhaps the
hest Of hts weight. He still possesses the
agility and strength which youth gives and
which sohriety preserves. Burns greatness
as a wrestler is no more remarkable than
his habits as a man. He is a testimonial
10 younger men OF what may be done in
the field Of strenuous athletics by careful
living. The sport-loving fraternity OF
Omaha will certainly give the Grand Old
Man Of the Mat a glad hand welcome.

ADMIRAL WOULD TAKE
sOLONs To MANILA

There were some pretty long faces
among the Congressman at Prince Ku-
hio IS garden party last night. The
party was a fitting finish to most
delightful and satisfactory visit, aad
the distinguished visitors had already
made up their minds to tear them
selves away from the pleasures of Ha-
wall, when Admiral Sehree extended
an invitation to the Senators and mem
bers of Congress to make the trip to
Manila on the cruiser squadron. The
inability to accept the invitation was
the cause of the look Of sadness on the
faces of the solons.
The Admiral announced that he
could distribute the Congressman about
the different ships of the squadron and
make them thoroughly comfortable,
and the prospect looked most alluring.
But there are important business mat
tiers awaiting the attention Of the
members of the party, SO the invita-
ton had to be declined.
Admiral Sebree seemed every bit as
disappointed as the Congressman, that
his invitation could not be accepted
AS the Admiral humorously said: eff
get you on my ships out at sea I
shall have you where / want you.
One and all, the Congressman ad-
mitted that, aside from the pleasure
of trip to Manila with Admiral Sc
bree and his officers, there would be
much that they could learn regarding
the practical working of the Navy.
