HIT HORNSBY HARD
OmahOgs Grab Game Before
Relief Reaches Kaws.
Frantz Holds Visitors to Three
Hits and No Runs.

Several years ago there was dem
onstration at the fair grounds in which
it was conclusively shown that two
engines could not pass on the Sdme
track at the same time. But that vas
before the days of Pepper and Horns
by. So another demonstration was
necessary. 1t was put on at the 90 II
park Thursday When. it was over
the Omahogs had a pair of runs. 1t
gave them the start on which they
beat the Kaws to 2.
Not that they might not have done
so without this assistance. They mlgnt
have. But they didn't.
In the second inning Johnson was
safe when Gardner missed the low
throw of Frantz. The Parson Is given
the error. Kane hunted and beat it
QUE by an eyelash. Schipke bun' ed
and was there so far ahead of the
ball that HornSby didn't waste
throw. Then Niehoff popped to Walsh
and Bills singled to Lee. The drive
was short however, and Johnson, Il
appeared, would have hard time get
ting to the plate. Lee whipped Tie
bali to Schmidt and Hornsby ran TO
back him up. He collided with schmidt
but the Dutchman didn't move an
inch. They clinched and struggled,
Hornsby trying hard to get behind the
plate without going around Schnllat
and Schmidt hanging to his place with
all the determination of a militant sui
fragette Neither of them got the Hali
and two runs came in
They slammed HornSbyS slantS I'M
til the sixth getting ten that We're
safe Then F'rantz was pulled in off
third and Cochran sent to the hot cor
ner while the Parson held the visit orS
TO three hits and no runs in three In
nings of the national pastfme. But the
damage was done. Six runners bear
ing the word Omaha on their manly
bosoms had scooted across the platter.
The Kaws made one in the fourth
when Gardner drove a hot one to celI-
ter, advanced on Niehon's error which
let Frantz live, took third when Par
son was forced by Patterson'S field
er's choice and scored when Schmidt
drove to left
The second Kaw to complete the
bases was F'rantz and his stunt came
in the sixth inning. He doubled to
left along the third base line. Pat
terson, following doubled to right
along the first base line The Par
son rang in but the next three were
easy outs.

NEW HAVEN, CONN. Nov. 5.-Tnt
Yale football squad, after four days
layoff on account of the death Of Guard
York, came back yesterday thoroughly
refreshed for the hardest weeks work
ever put in on a Yale gridiron.
Princeton's style of play against
Harvard was diagnosed as the same
wing shifts Yale used last year. These
have not been used much this fall al
Yale, being discarded for the more i'm
proved shift formation devised by ex-
Captain Tom Shevlin, but the scrubs
will use them this week AS Yale found
a perfect defense for them last fall.
they are not expected to prove danger
GUS
Yale will play Brown next Saturday
and Princeton the week following
meeting Harvard for the final game Of
the season on November 90 All the
work of the next three weeks will be
directed toward having the team in its
top condition on the latter date.

Joe covered up and went into a

Hard Fighting in Tenth,
The tenth round belonged to Man

swings that they brought up from

The Maps have Bob Gilks down in PEN
sacola now, laying out the field that the
Cleveland and Toledo teams will use for
training next spring.
Whoever succeeds Roger Bresnahan
will have his hands full from the very
start. No less than seven of the best
players on the team are due to renew
contracts In the spring. Many of them
are dissatisfied with their salary, and it
will be no easy task to coax them into
signing UP.
Big Ed Konetchy is one of the players
sacker has long been dissatisfied with
the salary paid him. 1t is said he will
demand $4,000 next season.
Mike Mowery, Kid Hauser, Lee Magee
and Ivy Wingo are some of the others
who will likely ask for a boost in SAL
airy. Magee and Wingo have shown big
improvement the past season and are sure
to put UP kick if they do not get a
raise
Mordecai Brown says he doubts that
Grayson has paid the Cubs for his re-
lease. After being assured last season

serve out his three-year contract with the
Cubs, the veteran hurler feels badly at
being released.

Bat Nelson Would Come Here
To Box; Explodes When Cincy
Commission Says He's All In
By w. S. Farnsworth.
By "Bud'' Fisher
a FEW days ago the Cincinnati

a FEW days ago the Cincinnati
~ boxing commission announced
that they would never allow
Battling Nelson to fight in that
city, as they claimed he was too
feeble, too old to ever fight any
good man again.
All of which has caused Bat
Ting Matthew Nelson to soar-and
soar good and high, too. 1t seems
that Nelson wrote me a few days
ago, asking if the boxing game was
f1ourishing here in Atlanta. If it
was, the Battler wanted to come
down here and do some milling.
Before l had found time to reply
to his letter, the Cincinnati papers
came out with the announcement
of the boxing commission there
that they would never stand for
him fighting in the Brew Burg.
As a result of this announcement.
Nelson sent me the following let
ter, which arrived in the early mail
today:
"Matty Baldwin is a pretty
tough citizen. And in Boston,
where l boxed only a short
time ago, they still think me
good enough to hand Matty a
trimming in twelve rounds.
Only two months ago l went
fifteen strong rounds with Steve
Ketchel at st. Joe, and when
Ketchel was on the floor taking
the count, in the eleventh
round, his manager, Larney
Lichtenstein, believed me any
thing but feeble.

athletic crooks.
The rawest OF the popular meth
DDS Of getting athletes into col
lege is the loan" A man who has
made a big prep school reputation
as half back wants to go to col
lege. So some enthusiastic alum
nus or some alumni chapter or or
ganization lends" him enough
money to get through college. He
signs notes in due form-which are
shown if there is any yell raised.
He isn't required to pay interest on
the notes. and nobody expects that
he will ever pay back the money.
NOTWITHSTANDING the many
ways of lodging the S. 1. A. A.
rules and for all the lodging that
is being done, conditions are grad
ually improving.
What the colleges need is:
First More careful scrutiny by
the responsible heads Of the col
lege of the athletic doings. College
presidents would not tolerate ath-
