STATE CIRCUIT STAYS SANE
No City in Nebraska League Has
Franchise for Sale.
MAY RAISE THE SALARY LIMIT
Talk of shortening Schedule Received
FavOrnbly by Those In Attend
nnce-PossibIIity Of Choice
of New President.

HASTINGS. Neb.. Dec l.-(Special Tele-
gram THE Nebraska Base Ball league will
90 into its second season next year with
the circuit exactly the same as this year.
This much was quietly decided at the
league meeting here today, for each town
sent a delegation pledged to meet ell re
quirements for the retention Of rs fran
chise. York and one or two other places
had been talked OF for possible vacancies
but It developed today that there Is not
even a franchise for sale.
The meeting was called to order by
President Sievers at 4 o'clock this after
noon. After deciding to continue the pres,
ent membership. Hastings, Grand Island
Seward. Fremont, Columbus, Kearney'
Superior and Red Cloud. the delegates nut
in the rest Of the afternoon discussing
propositions to raise the salary limit from
$500 to 5000 or 1900. All the delegates were
in favor Of raise. but the fixing Of the
amount was left for the night meeting.
There was talk among the delegates Of
shortening the schedule to terminate not
later than September l. Last season the
schedule ran to September 10, and wherever
there was financial deficiencies they re-
suited from the falling off in patronage at
the end of the season.
Grand Island sent its delegation in
structed for the reelection Of Pros dent
Slevers of that city. Some of the delega'
ton, although having no personal objection
to Mr.. Sievers, thought 1t might be wise
to select a man from outside the circuit.
Charles Sherman of Lincoln was the only
other man considered for the place. Mr..
Sievers received 'many congratulations on
the able manner in which he directed the
leagues affairs last season

JEM MAcEaoNoE A RICH MAN
Famous Fighter at One Time Had
Bank AesOunt of SS7B,OOO, but
Died with No Money.

Jem Mace, the last of the old school OF
prize fighters died recently at Jarrow,
where he had been staying for the past
few weeks. The deceased was in his eigh-
tieth year. N-h-
Il can truly be said Of Jem Mace, says
the Pail Mall Gazette, that he was as
famous in his day as any prize fighter the
world has ever known. He was born on
April s. 1881, and he engaged in his first
important fight when "A years of age. In
fact he beat Slasher Stacy I'm nine rounds,
but in those days tho facilities for pugilistic
encounters were not quite so great as they
are today and Il was not until about
eighteen months later that he met Bin
Thorne, whom Mace defeated after a con-
test which lasted for eighteen rounds.
His next fight was losing one, for he
was beaten in two rounds by Bob Brettle.
That was in September, 1865, but the fol-
lowing January Mace made amends and
regained the confidence OF his admirers by
beating Posh Price IN eleven rounds,
In 1882 Mace met Tom King in January
for eco and the championship, and beat
him after terrible contest, which lasted
for forty-three rounds. The men met again
in the same Year, when, in November,
King turned the tables on his opponent in
twenty-one rounds, Mace's next appearance
In a contest for the championship was in
1866, when he drew With Joe GOss. He had
beaten Goss three years before, and when
they met again Mace defeated his old OPP
ponent in twenty-one rounds.
In 1897 Mace contested the title and a
purse OF 600 a 81 lie with T. Baldwin, the
bout ending In a draw, but In 1870 when
he was nearly ~ years Of age, old Jem
beat T. Allen IL a contest for the cham
pionrhip OF the world in America, and. a
year later he made his last appearance
in a championship fight. lie was then over
~ years Of ago but, had The satisfaction
Of effectlng Draw after twelve rounds

Like all OF his calling, Mace at one time
had been a rich man. In an interview only
q year on s5 ago be remarked that he
had as much as f75OOO to has credit in the
bank, and further, that he had kept his
own stable of race horses.
The old puglhst said that he had been
accustomed 10 fighting all his life, his
earliest battles being among the Jockey
boys at the fairs. When he won his first
fight, he was only about Il years OF age,
His toughest encounter was with a Staly-
bridge man many years after. lie and
his opponent fought for six hours. In that

occupy more than two hours time
The one thing which gave any promise
OF prolonglng the meetings Of the hlg
leagues was poss BILE discussion OF new
schedule plan, which Gary Hermann has
advocated.
The Cincinnati president is quoted as
favoring a schedule OF 112 games for each
league which would carry the season up
TO the middle OF August, and then to start
a series Of lnter-league' games Under this
plan each club would play four games at
home and four abroad with each team Of
the other league. or sixty-four games in
ALL n which teams Of the National league
would be ptted against American league
teams. Hs.

Number of Games.

Each club would thus play 17s Eanes
during the season, which would start about
April 10 and close about october 10. The
old worlds championship series would be
eliminated, Il being calculated that the
team winning the greatest number OF
games in the whole season would be de-
serving of a real worlds championship
title. t1.
From statements attributed to President
Johnson there seems little probability
that the American league would take
kindly to the plan for this season at least.
II was indicated that the American league
season would be likely to begin about
April 70 and consist Of the usual 154 games.
What the other National league magnates
thought about the new inter-league sched-
uie proposition had not been developed up

gether for the days business.
