The American committee announced

land. or there will be great clamor
for the return OF stovall, who was dis
posed Of TO the ST. Louis Browns.
Harry Wolverton has his work cut out
for him with the New York Yankees.
He has an aggregation Of stellar ball
tossers. but so did Griffith, Elberfeld,
Staliings and Chase in previous years,
and never has New York had an Ameri-
can league pennant Wolverton knows
the game from the inside out and last
year received valuable experience as a
minor league manager in the far west,
In his days as player he was a star
of the first water. In 1903. when with
the Philadelphia Nationals he led all
third basemen with a percentage OF 81.
His players have a wholesome respect
for him as well as a great personal lik-
Ing. and he may succeed where others
failed.
Johnny Killing carries with him the repu-
tation Of being 4 he greatest inside"
player Of any catcher that has been in
the game In recent years. His work with
the Chicago cubs during the years he
was there held an important part in the
winning OF pennants by Frank Chance {
team. Many consider him the greatest
catcher that ever lived. His release to
Boston last year after just having been
reinstated to good standing. following
his holding out for several years, came
as a surprise to everyone. King soon
demonstrated in Boston that he is almos,
as OF yore. and his great work toward
the close OF the season has been recog.
nized in his promotion to the manager
ship, succeeding Fred Tenney. King has
few stars and many poor players In
the roster Of his club. in event that he
can mold winning combination and give
Boston a respectable position in the Ma
tiopsl league race this year. all the eredi,
must be given to Killing.
Hank o'Day, one OF the most quaint
characters that ever parsded on dla.
mond, is the first umpire in the history
Of the game TO become manager and
his work with the Cincinnati Nationals
will accordingly be watched by fans
throughout the country with keenest
interest. o'Day as an umpire belongs tc
the old inflexible school. When he made
decision. that decision was made anc
he would neither change 1t nor permit
any argument. This strength Of will may
manifest itself in any one Of half a dozer
different plays in his new capacity. His
success or failure in the job last occupied
by Clark Griffith will likely decide tbs
prospects Of other linen Of the blue shir-
and Indicator to acquire managerial jobs

Hunters Declare
Against the Spring

Several Omaha nlmrods and lovers OF
hunting have begun to take an interest

in other states. such as Nebraska and

MANY ANXIOUS TO GET ON SQUAD

LINCOLN. Neb.. March 9.-(special)-
A University Of Nebraska base ball team
became a reality Saturday afternoon.
when All Year Coach Ewsld Stiehm
called a meeting OF the base ball men for
a preliminary survey Of the material and
for arranging practice hours.
The action Of the athletic board this
week in approving the report Of the MIS-
souri, valley eligibility committee rein
stated base ball, at Nebraska after the
athletic board Of the Cornhusker tnsti-
tuition had voluntarily excluded it from
the list Of collegiate sport because of the
summer base ball rule. The meeting
Saturday afternoon was attended by
twenty candidates for positions on the
varsity squad.
, Immediately upon the acceptance OF the
report Manager Eager ordered suits and
equipment for the ball players. The mat
ter OF scheduling games for the season
was also left to Eager entirely.
Most Games Away from Home.
The games will for the large part be
away from home. The first games VIII

on the diamond and it IS quite probable
that a game or two will be played with

its southern trip. The rest Of the sched-
ule is pretty much in doubt owing TO the
disorganized state Of baseball in the Mis-
souri, valley conference owing to the
summer base ball rule.
Point Not Settled.
The manner of reinstating players who
have participated in town" base ball
is quite problem and there is consider
able question as to the proper method OF
proceedings under the new rules. Some
believe that all Of the varsity players.
including the freshmen will be eligible
for the team, while others hold that the
three years playing rule will effect base
ball the same as other sports.
Practice will start during the coming
week and training table rules estab-
lished The material is usually plentiful
although Of an unknown quality. The
freshmen class Of two years ago. which
was regarded as the best base ball team
seen at the institution In several years
has been badly broken into by members
leaving school, but some Of the men are
still at Nebraska and with a small nucleu;
OF veterans. stiehm hopes to encounter
but little difficulty in getting together q
