One Month is Long
Enough to Train, is
Verdict of Comm,y

A month Of training is all that is
necessary to whip a ball club into
playing condition, Charles A. Comis-
key, owner of the Chicago Americans,
believes. Consequently, the stay of the
Chicago club at Mineral Wells, Tex,
this spring will be cut to four weeks.
This is marked departure from pre-
vious years.
Zone month is sufficient for all
practical training purposes" Comis-
key said. Our previous trips to
California took too much time. The
players overdid the training and were
in poor shape when the season
started.
"The old method in vogue when I
was a player is the proper one. When
the season started we were in condi-
ton, and 1t didn't take US long to fit
ourselves. The old St. Louis Browns
did their training right in St, Louis.
There was no long training trip in a
special train for US. And when the
season strated we were right"
Conditions for training a major
league club are declared to be ideal at
the Texas resort. The climate and wa
tiers are conducive to the best results
in conditioning players, Comiskey be-
lieves. The players will get away on
the training trip in March.

Western Billiard
Players Will Make
War On Association

New York, Jan. 20.-Amateur bill
lard players of the west are pre-
pairing to launch an organization in
opposition to the National Associa-
ton of Amateur Billiard Players.
The difficulty has been brewing
ever since the revision of the con-
stitution and bylaws of the national
governing body in 1914, at which time
the qualifications of an amateur bill
lard player were clearly defined.
The fact that many tournaments
and team matches are played in the
billiard rooms of Chicago, Kansas
City and further west with mixed
amateur and professional competitors
and the practice of sweepstakes for
cash prizes made the new rule I'M
popular.
At the time that w. B. Huey, a
Chicago amateur, won the profess
sional three-cushion carom champion
ship a year ago and sought to be re-
instated as an amateur so as to re-
tain membership in golf clubs to
which he belonged he made the fol-
lowing statement: ...-..-
For several years past it has been
a custom of Chicago billiard room
keepers to offer cash prizes to their
patrons to be contested for in reg.
ular tournaments of various kinds.
| have never known an instance where
anything but cash was given as
prizes.
Tournaments of this kind are 60
ing on constantly in the various
rooms of Chicago all during the win.
ter months. 1t is one way the room
keeper has OF stimulating the game.
The cash prize involved, however,
was never considered as jeopardizing
players amateur standing. If it was
so considered practically every man
in town who plays billiards would be
very doubtful looking amateur"
There appears to be no question as
to the western billiard players being
more or less violently opposed to the
rules of the national association as
to what constitutes an amateur. They
have made several overtures to bring
about a more liberal Interpretation OF
the rule. 1t is possible that there
may be something done at the annual
meeting of the national association
at the Amateur Billiard club Of New
York in this direction.
Whether or not this will head off
the activity of the new western or
ganization is one upon which the Off
Gals of the national association are
specializing.

Irate Athlete
Didn't Want imp
Bruised Too Much

Bill Byron, the singing umpire, who
says there hasn't been single kick
against his decisions since October,
tells new story on himself, Bill
handled the indicator in the Interna-
tional league before he came to work
OH the Tener circuit, and he AYERS
that he had quite us much trouble in
the minors as he has in the National
league.
He umpired in Newark one day,
and in the course of the game he
called man out at the plate on a
close play. The player arose, busted
off his uniform and then, pointing to
the chimney which towers high over
the field, he said to Byron: "Bill, I
amt sayin' nothin' to you. l amt
maxim no kick or nothin, but hope
that that chimney falls on you and
hits you one brick at a time"
Bill says the hope was so soothing
and so original that he did not put
the player out Of the game.

whirlwind affair from start to finish,
notwithstanding the lopsided score.

OMAHA BARNS HOLD
MANY TURF STARS

Continued From Page One.)
2:00H, the most sensational PAGER on
the Grand circuit last season, who
went down the major loop in blaze
of glory, leaving in his wake the
plaudits OF all horsedom, and winning
for his owner, Ed Peterson Of Omaha,
fortune. +.
Has Money to Risk.
Mr.. Peterson, confident in his opin-
ion that he owns the best PAGER in
the world, bar none, is fairly itching
to match Ben Earl against Peter
Stevens, 2:0lH,, whose owner, w. B.
Eckert Of Reading, Pa, has declared
he is willing to pace his champion
stake horse against any of them over
a half-mile track. The Omaha sports
man is ready to peel off couple of
thousand dollars or more from his
roll any time that Ben Earl can lead
Peter Stevens under the wire in any
city offering the biggest additional
purse. His offer stands good until
January %, and there are plenty OF
local horsemen anxious to take some
eastern money in case the match race
becomes reality.
One of the brightest stars in the
Dennison- Peterson string is R. c. H.,
2:llN, holder OF the state trotting
record and classy performer on
both the Grand and Great Western
circuits in 1916, r, c, III. is a great
half-miler and fine specimen OF the
high-spirited, raw-boned type of trot-
ter. This Omaha horse is jointly
owned by Mr.. Peterson and MI. Den
nison. R. c. H. and Miss Densmore
divided first and second money in the
feature trot at the Des Moines Great
Western circuit meeting last year.
A discovery" in the Dennison
stables is Louanna, 2:l6A, by Kinney
Lou. Her present owner purchased
her from California horseman, at
the time believing she was an old
mare. A search OF the records, how.
ever, shows that she is only Swear
old now and won every start two
years ago. She worked mile in 2:l4
over the East Omaha track last sea-
son. Louanna Is a trotter and wears
only pair OF quarter boots.
A couple OF more. clever trotters in
the Dennison string are Miss Galley
and Tena G. The former was second
to the famous Rags in all of the Cali
fornia futurites one season, while
Tena G.. has worked miles in 2:l3H
and will be eligible to the 2:l7 class
this year.
And there are lots more stars and
future stars spending a comfortable
winter at the Speedway plant who will
soon pack their bags and baggage
and canter out to their new. home at
Benson, which by recent arrange
ment made between directors of the
Omaha Driving club and the Douglas
County Fair association officials is to
become the headquarters of Great
Western circuit harness racing in
Omaha.
Following the merger of Omaha
horse racing interests, Otis M. Smith,
secretary OF the driving club and one
Of the games biggest boosters here,
announced that the half-mile track at
Benson will be widened and extern
sive improvements made so as to
make it one OF the model plants Of
the country. All race meetings to be
held in Omaha will be staged at Ben
son. Horsemen i'll general predict
the most successful year in the his
tory OF the harness racing game for
this season.

BETTER HOLD STAKES
 TILL CERTIFICATES ISSUED

The Cordova and Anchorage news papers state that stakeholders in those towns have paid bets on the strength of reports given out that Wickersham is sure of reelection. While no names are mentioned in coa- nection with the alleged payments. and it is generally questioned as to whether any bets have been paid, the notices have had the effect of influencing those who have been hold ing bets into the belief that Wicker sham will be the next Delegate to Congress. This is as yet as far from settled as 1t was the day after the election, and despite the articles a2' bearing in several Wickersham pap CTS in the Territory, the odds are largely in favor of certificate or election being issued to the Demo- cratic candidate. However this may be, shareholders or betters who have money depending on the decision of the Canvassing Board will do well to hold the stakes until the certifi- cate of election has been issued.

 SUCCESSFUL DANCE
Crowds That Has Turned Out In Many Months.

The Firemen's Ball held last even- ing by the Department in Eagles Hall, was a social and financial suc- cess from the first dance to the last and certainly speaks we'll for the en- terprise and ability of the Organiza- tion. Much labor and time was spent in decorating the hall and pre- pairing for the lunch which the Civic League attended to. The hall was beautifully decorated with streamers of vivid red hearts that fairly palpi- tated to the catchy strains of the seven-piece orchestra. Each dance was enthusiastically encored until thc orchestra was in despaN of ever fin- ishing the program .sb bsfore break |. fast." as one of u smbers so aptly rut it. ..y+ ss.T
 At midnight tI 3pns tables were spread the <lanl the hall and lunch was served was with diff ficulty that the la trowd was seat ed. Sandwiches coffee were dis pensed after whfs6 the dancing was resumed.
 Much might be said in praise of the various committees for their efforts and they are we'll deserving of a hearty vote of thanks. The dance committee was composed of the fol- lowing members: John Miller, Tom Quinn. Robert Kelsey, and Robert Weber, chairman. While the floor committee was made up of John Ro- seen, Bill Date, Fred Colecough, Randall Ashby, Walter Elliot, Will liam Meals. March Houser, and Tom Selby. The Civic League very kind- ly furnished the lunch for which the firemen were truly grateful.
 The orchestra rendered some very excellent music which was very much appreciated by the dancers. It con- sisted of these pieces: Piano, Mrs. Kirby, Cello, Robert Weber, From bone, MT. Kirby. Drums, Cameron, Cornet, Geo. Reinke, Violin, Jack Surryhne, Bass Viol, Louis Larson.
