Dutch Myers Fails
To Get His Release
From State League

When Tip o'Neill announced his 1915
staff of umpires the other day the list
included the name of Dutch Myers, last
year an arbiter in the Nebraska State
loop. Now comes President Miles of the
latter league asking how Myers can go
to the Western with a State league con-
tract reserve clause in operation.
Miles has no objection to Myers adj
vancing from a class d to a class A
league. On the contrary, like others in
terested in base ball. he hopes to see
Myers succeed, but Myers neglected to
obtain his release from the State league
as required by the rules of base ball
Thus Myers is not eligible to handle an
indicator in this circuit unless he does get
his release.
President Miles has written Myers sew
eral times on this question. but Myers
has failed to reply up to date This has
somewhat aroused the ire of Miles and
ne intends to stand pat unless Myers con-
forms to the laws of organized ball in
the proper manner. Meanwhile O'Neill
Is said to be negotiating with Miles and
hopes to get the State Lacquer without
starting a fuss.

OMAHA TO ASK FOR TOURNEY
Omaha Field Club Intends to Put in
a Bid for 1915 National Clay
Court Tennis Event.
SUCCESS PRACTICALLY SURE

The Omaha Field club will psAha a
strong bid for the national clay coii.il
tennis championship event for 1916 Tho
tourney this year will be held at Pitts
burgh.
Omaha entertained the first clay court
tournament several years ago. when Mel
Vile Long attached the championships
The following year the event went to
Pittsburgh and last year to Cincinnati
Omaha could have had the event this
year. but chose to wait. That the tourney
will be awarded Omaha is practically GER
tain. as the Field club enjoys the best
clay courts In the country, and Omaha
is always an attraction for tennis en-
thusiasts.
The Field club has made no official an
nouncement OF its intention 10 bid for the
event. but Il L. semi-officially known that
the tennis committee has decided 10 put
in an application. II Is probable that sew
eral Omaha players win so to the Pitts-
burgh tourney 10 boost along the cause.

BOOSTING HARD In KANSAS
Already in Both Topeka and Wichita
$4,000 Worth of Tickets
Have Been Sold.
ARE HIGHLY ENTHUSIASTIC

They are boosting hard in Topeka and
Wichita these days. and II those two
cities do not enjoy successful seasons
this year it will not be the fault of their
commercial organizations. In both cities
members of the Commercial clubs have
been waging campaigns to assist the ball
club. They have been selling tickets to
the games in advance.
In Topeka season tickets are being sold
and reports from THAI city say that
about 5000 worth of season tickets have
been sold up to date. In Wichita they
are selling admission tickets in lots of
five. and the latest count is 5000 tickets
sold, which will also represent about
5000.
Have an Awakening.
The ticket selling campaign, waged as
1t is by tie Commercial clubs, shows
that the two Kansas towns are awake
at last and are determined to establish
their status as Glass A ball towns. with
5000 in the treasury to start the year
with, Topeka and Wichita should ex-
perience little trouble in weathering the
stormy 1915 season.
In fact the two Kansas towns, last
year both doubtful prospects for 1915
are evidencing more enthusiasm than any
other village in the circuit The other
cities have been content to let things run,
but down In Kansas now men have taken
over the franchises and started to ginger
things up. With new presidents and new
managers at the head of each club and
with practically new teams and with
that spirit of boosting, Topeka and WITCH.
