One OF the merriest little base ball
scraps ever perpetrated In this part OF
the land is anticipated by Pa Rourle and
other base ball magnates when the West
ern league meeting is held here next
month for the purpose Of adopting a 1914
schedule. Every club in the league will
have prepared a schedule which will give
the home club every holiday date and a
surplus of Sundays and Saturdays at the
expense OF the other clubs, and II will
only be after vociferous outbursts and
threatened desertions from the league
that the representatives of the various
ball clubs will be content to return to
their native heath with an endorsed
schedule in their pockets.
Another source OF argument will be the
long and short schedule plans. From
Sioux City comes an outburst of elo-
quence to the effect that President Han
lon of that club had. through his own
marvellous business foresight, succeeded
In impresslng on the other club owners
that each had guaranteed TO accept the
shorter schedule. Wichita and Topeka
also seem TO advocate the shorter season,
while Holland. Isbell McGnl and Rourke
Wichita, Topeka and Sioux City are in
no position to make demands. In those
cities the amount OF capital invested in
base ball is much lower than that in
vested in Omaha, while st. Joseph, Des
Moines and Denver and the owners of
the latter clubs ask that they should be
given preference as to the business man
agement of the league because they have
more at stake. But the others can't see
II that way and they will come to Omaha

OF creating a disturbance II they can't

The eventual outcome will be that the

Athletic union, in a mail vote completed

bars women from competing or giving

HIGH SCHOOL DROPS NOTCH
InterschOlhstic Team Falls Prey to
Superior PrOwess of Benson
Pirate Squad and Drops
to Third Position.

With the season well under way all the
teams OF the Commercial league are
getting down to business. Several OF the
teams which seemed TO be strong at the
beginning Of the season have started TO
lag behind while others that showed
small promise OF keeping in the fore are
more than holding their own. AS yet
some of the stronger teams have met
only the weaker quintets and their true
strength cannot be estimated at this early
stage in the season. The scheduled games
OF the next few weeks will bring the
teams of the first division together for
the first time so that line on the pos
sible contenders for the championship
may be reached.
During the last week of play num-
ber Of the teams changed places in the
league standing. Perhaps the greatest
surprise OF the season took place when
the Pirates defeated the Omaha High
school. The undergraduates. who were
going strong in the league. met defeat
for the first time of the year and as
result they have come down the ladder
from first place TO that Of third. The de-
feat of the school boys at the hands Of
the Pirates showed more than ever the
strength OF some Of that five. All during
last year the Omaha High school never
lost a single contest In the Tri-City league
and as a result were easily the champions

LINCOLN. Jan. s-(Special.) THE
governing board of Missouri valley
schools, meeting In Lincoln, Monday.
January 10, for the annual conference,
will have one question of university
athletics to consider which is OF con-
siderable Importance to all Missouri val
ley schools and particularly TO the Corn
huskers, Kansas and Missouri II Is the
rule which was passed two years ago by
the governing board. composed for the
most part OF the chancellors and presi-
dents. or by faculty representatives, pro-
hibaiting the playing OF foot ball games
or the staging OF other athletic contests
between members OF the conference in
towns outside OF the cities wherein the
colleges are located.
1t is this rule which put an end to the
old time closing battle OF the year be-
tween Kansas and Missourl-a game
which was a mint TO the managements
OF the two schools and which virtually
assured the two southern rivals OF a sue
cessful season financially. Crowds rang
ing from 10000 TO 10000 have flocked to
the famous struggle between the Jay
hawkers and the Tigers and incidentally
the students were not always the most
orderly In the celebrations following the
game. II was this purported laxlty which
induced members OF the faculty TO urge
the governing body to pass a rule pro-

asleep on sentry uuly as yet
Carrying this little pleasantly farther
It may be interpolated that Friend Gil
more was a eommissary sergeant in the
Philippines and learned something OF
foraging. Predatory raids with diamond
stars as the booty are being practiced
by his leutenants with skill and pre-
cision. Even guerrilla tactics might not
be unfamiliar. IL necessary, and some of
the embittered opposition already stig-
matize the Federal attack as guerrilla.
Whatever friendly critics or hostile
skeptics may think OF the ultimate sue
cess of the Federal movement, it must
be admitted the new league has caused
a rumpus greater than any since the
American league launched its successful
attack against the National league In
1901 and gained as its victory a place as
an equal power in the government of the
national pastime.
These Federal leaguers take themselves
seriously. They have gone farther than
any except those on the inside thought
probable or even possible at the start
They have made good on many Of their
promises. They have been little slow
on others, but still have time. Until they
fail to deliver promised goods. they must
be accepted for what they have accom-
plished. When the season opens and the
battle of the turnstiles,' as President
johnson of the American league chooses
to term It, begins in earnest, the answer
as to whether or not there is room for a
third big league in these United States
will be answered on the ledgers Of the
eight clubs forming the circuit of the
belligerent body.
! Gilmore became president of the Fed
eral league as an emergency man until
some leader of ability could be selected.
He plunged into the problems of the new
organization with such enthusiasm and
energy that the other magnates were
convinced he was the leader of ability

two OF his friends, Charles Weeghman
and w. NJ. Walker, to take up the bur-
den OF active work in behalf of the Chi
cago club, he was left free to work for
the success of the central organization.

CHICAGO, Jan. H.-"Chicago will not
be in the Federal league-and this means

clared a major league leader in this city
this afternoon. The magnate declined to

repeatedly that his information was au-

league magnates are meeting here to-
night.
Fate OF the Federal league, so far as
the support of two OF it's backers--Charles
Weeghman and w. M. Walker--of Chi
cago is concerned, hung in the balance
at it's meeting here. At an execu-
tive session reports from the club
owners were presented to satisfy the
demands of Weeghman and Walker that
the teams to enter the campaign next
spring must contain lineups of major
league caliber." Weeghman declared,
after long session, that three clubs, in

shown satisfactory. II three more show

Meantime 1t was rumored that Weegh-

chance to get control OF the st. Louis
American league club, ana while this
could not be confirmed at once. it was
said this offer had been made to give
them their chance to get into base ball
and at the same time keep their purses
on the side of the organized game.
Weeghman said three teams were shown
strong enough. President Gilmore said
five had been considered of major league
caliber. The difference in their estimates
was taken to indicate a difference in
opinion as to the qualifications Of the
teams.
Weeghman said he was surprised at
the strength of the three teams. He had
