Baseball Fraternity To
Join Foes of Demon Rum

bach has pointed out to many of the
delinquent players that it consumes
much time, energy and a great deal of
money. 1t lessons the players eff
cheney and takes many years off his
playing career.
The ball players says Secretary
Reulbach, took a sensible attitude on
this question when 1 approached them.
themselves and a great thing for base
ball if they retire earlier and omit beer
drinking. OF late years, there has
been decided change in the behavior
of the ball player. Years ago it was
taken for granted that he spent his
money like a sailor and cared little
about his physical welfare.
There is decided change in the dis
cipline of the sensible player today.
He is a book reader, a sightseer, goes
to bed early and doesn't play poker
far into the night as he did years ago.
This thing has come on gradually
THE question of beer drinking,
however, is a singular subject to take
up with the players. The influence
of the many temperate players has
brought many of the more careless
performers into line, and I would not
be surprised if at the next meeting of
the fraternity a rule was passed either
suggesting temperance or prohibiting
drinking among the players entirely.
while some of the best men in the
game may object to total abstinence,
they are, nevertheless, in favor of
passing a rule curtailing the use of
beer or ale except with meals. This
plan works out well with the college
athletes, the football players for in
stance, who are permitted to have a
bottle of ale with their dinner. With
the ball player, it is the drinking at
night and the long sessions about the
jovial board that works against his
best interests

Chicago, Ill, Jan. 6.-Unless all in

ness world before the year of 1916 has
ended With the arrival of the heavy

He has settled in Rogers Park with

gagged in the pursuit of money in the

himself a bungalow he will look
around for other properties to invest.
He likes the idea of flat buildings.
Even when Jess was comparatively
unknown he made resolutions that II

good advantage. Like Packey McFar-

LINCOLN DEAL COMPLETED.
Hugh Jones Disposes of His Tiger Ball
Club for $4,000.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 6.-The sale of
the Lincoln Western League baseball
club will be formally completed to-
day, it was announced following a
meeting between Hugh L. Jones, pres
ent owner of the club, and four of the
five members of the stock company
formed to purchase the franchise. An
agreement was reached to dispose of
the club at the option price of $12, 800,
it was announced.
Jones will own ten shares of stock
in the new company The capital
stock of the new company is $4,000,
the extra $4,000 being raised to pro-
vide a financial working basis for the
club. One of the principal stockhold-
ers is George R. Stone, of Coleridge,
Neb., a former major league baseball
player. William (Ducky) Holmes,
who is also a stockholder, will be the
new manager of the Lincoln club.

Foamy suds as a favorite baliwash
for ball players is soon to become
thing of the past. And Demon Rum,
devoted companion of diamond stars
since the beginning of baseball, is soon
to be driven from the realms of our
great national pastime, it seems, just
as he is being driven, state by state,
from the nation.
The handwriting has been on the
wall for some time, but not until this
week was it recognized alike by both
the wearers of the white ribbon and
the consumers of the Blue. However,
there is no denying it. now that the
Players Fraternity has announced it
intends to take steps to force its mem
bers to Join the water wagon ranks.
The moving spirit in this high and
dry innovation is Ed Reulbach, secre-
tary of the fraternity. Mr.. Reulbach
doesn't wish to take a high and
mighty attitude on the temperance
question, nor does he want any title
like t-the-TraiI'' placed before his
name. What he has done, however,
is lot of missionary work among the
ball players in the cause of the pro-
hibs.
Secretary Reulbach had three years
of study in the medical school of the
University of Chicago and knows
whereof he speaks when he talks
about the ill effects of drinking on
ball players. Many a muffed fly in a
championship game and many a boot
ed grounder or a little stupidity on the
bases, may be traced to what the ball
player was doing the night before.
Mr.. Ruelbach has interviewed many

MASK FOR ART HUDSON?
Topeka Railroad Man May Become
Umpire in Western League.

Frank Zehrung, new president Of
the Western league, is not giving out
any information as to his plans for
engaging umpires for the coming sea-
son, but it is pretty generally under
stood that he will have a new staff
out and out, with the possible excep-
ton of one man who gave general
satisfaction during the time he worked
last season.
Among the new men who are prob
able candidates for the honor and
tribulations that go with wearing the
mask and manipulating the indicator
is Art Hudson, of the Rock Island
general offices recently removed from
Topeka.
The honor of being one of Topeka's
baseball authorities on technique of
the game has been generally conceded
to Hudson by many local fans, and he
has always been a baseball booster.
He is the gentleman who put amateur
baseball in the city on a permanent
basis by organizing the City league,
and last season he did considerable
umpiring.
Hudson, it is understood, will prob
ably make application for a place in
the league, and should he be chosen
by President Zehrung, he would I'M
doubtedly make a fair and impartial
umpire

Manager Hamilton was asked to

Nothing definite as to the size of the

but Manager Hamilton is thinking
seriously of drawing up plans for a
bungalow style, one-story high, and

may be easily added. The building
will be large enough to afford plenty
