BRITISH CHEER
 PLAN OF LEAGUE
Viscount Grey Tells Throng Nations Must Prevent
 Future Wars.

London Friday, June 13-A cam paign to popularize the League of Ma tions was launched tonight by the British League of Nations Union. All bert Hall was packed with 1000 per- sons.
 Lord Robert Cecil in the course of a defense of the league, twice re- ferred to President Wilson and was applauded.
 The enthusiasm of the audience for the league was in evidence throughout the speech but several hecklers in the gallery unfurled a red flag inscribed ''Warships are fighting a socialist re- public" When Lord Robert was naming the framers of the league covenant, a man shouted:
 What about Ireland?"
 Lord Robert retorted, Ireland was ably represented, if may say so, by General Shuts and myself"
 The audience cheered the speakers arguments for admitting Germany to the league, but the applause was punctuated by cries of protest, one voice shouting:
 You bloody traitor" The audience shouted, Put him out" and cf1eered when the man was elected.
 Viscount Grey made an eloquent appeal for the British people, in con- junction with the peoples of other ma tions, to give life and reality to the league, now that the governments had completed their parts in 1t.
 Tt is a choice between life and death to the world" he said. Any future wal will be vastly more terri ble than the last, owing to inventions and the progress of science. Hence there is need that we work for an Ideal. namely, world peace.
 If the league Is to be a reality, Germany and Russia must be includ- ed. because if these powerful nations are excluded they will be driven into intrisues against the league. More over, the league must be a league of nations; not of governments"

Sporting Goods Bargain Sail
Drives Golf Fiends from
Links on Arrival of
Judge Foster.

Members of the University club
are reported as favoring legislation
that will prohibit bargain sales.
They realize that sales are a won
derful help in combating the h. c. OF

on the game of golf played by the
former rah, rah, boysf
A wonderous tale was unfolded by
one Of the club members and the
subject was lowly pair Of socks, or
rather, many pairs Of socks. Judge
Charles E. Foster is responsible for
the radical actions being considered
by the club members.
A store dealing in sporting goods
recently advertised a sale on golf
stockings. Like Joseph's coat, the
stockings proved to be of bright
and many colors. Judge Foster is
reported to have purchased the en-
tire stock.
A psychological study was then
made of the effect of different col
ors on his golf cronies and members
of the Uni club. His Investigations
proved a success and in his locker
now repose, carefully labeled with

Clothes Don't Make a Man
But Socks Now Aid Golfer

Othe names of his friends an assort-
ment of bargain day socks.
When DR.. R. w. Reed is his op-
ponent at golf he appears wearing
heilotrope stockings. The doctor
Immediately begins to fozzle being
unable to keep his eyes on the ball
when the counter attraction stands
near by.
Attorney T. J. Nolen must walk
around the links with an opponent
CARRIED in flaming orange stockings.
His Irish blood boils by the eighth
hole and the balance of the match is
easy for the judge.
c. c. Belden, ST., has perhaps been
most disasterously affected by the
new aid to golhng. His experience
in merchandising he says proves TO
him that no self-respecting merchant
sold the socks. The fact that they
came from the bargain counter ruins
his shots early in the contest.
Yale Holland and Frank Builta
are reported to seriously consider
stealing the socks or quitting the
game until they are worn out.
Club members ailege that since
they are forced to compete with
stockings of all hues of the rainbow
Judge Foster has not lost a game.
The prediction is freely made that
unless his stockings are barred the
Judge will establish a record Of not
losing a single game during the
coming year.

The Clan Gordon Athletic club
Saturday announced the indefinite
postponment Nof all curling events
scheduled. This will stop play for
the Kennedy trophy finals, the Sec
end Annual Bonspeil. and the indi-

Many Interesting Base Ball
Engagements to Be Staged
During This
Week.
HOW THEY STAND.
Commercial League.


Teams leading the Commercial and
Church basket ball leagues, are ex-
pected to have tough tussle to re-
tain their lofty positions during the
coming week. The classy Com
merce High squad, which so far has
enjoyed continuous victory, is book
ed to meet the large and heavy Fort
Omaha quintet Thursday. The Ma
kens, tied. with Commerce High for
first honors in the Commercial
league, will have their hands full
when they meet the new combina-
ton the Beddeos, will use.
The Pearl Memorials, present
champs of the Church league, arc
due to meet the Benson Methodists
Tuesday Although the Pearl Me-
mortal five is conceded to have the
brighter chances of finishing with
the long. end of the score the Ben
son flippers have a scrappy team
which has its eye on the top rung of
the championship ladder.
Hanseoms to Meet Calvary.
A close game should result when
the Hanscom. Parks meet the Cal
vary Baptists. So far the Methodists
have split even, while the Baptists
have dropped both of their contests.
The two teams are we'll matched.
The First Christians are the only
players who need to lose no sleep
over the prospects of defeat this
week. They-Sare cardede to match
their skill with the "Y" dormitory
flippers.
Attention Of floor fans will turn
to the new players whose identity
the Beddeos will disclose Thursday
night. The Beddeos are striving TO
Gust the Nakens and have signed up
several fast players for that pur-
pose.
The Central Furnitures will meet
the Sixfy-second balloonists. I'm
less the army mens recover from
their losing streak, victory should
lie with the furniture statesmen.
Commercial High-Fort Omaha.
The Commerce High-Fort Omaha
contest is expected to feature in the
Commercial league. Commerce
High has played its easier contests
and must now meet teams heavier
than itself.
Attendance records at the games
have broken all previous records.
The number Of defaults has been less
than usual. The games are called
at 1880 each night.

CENTRAL HIGH
SCHEDULE TWO
BASKET GAMES
Thursday They Will Play the
South High and Saturday
the Sioux City
Team.

Central Highs basket ball team
is booked to meet two teams this
week. Thursday night the Central
ties play the South High flippers, al
though it is very Likely that this
game will be cancelled since Cen
trail is unwilling to play on that
night Sioux City will play Central
Saturday night at the IN. c. A..
after having played Council Bluffs
High the preceding night.
South and Central are evenly
matched. The Packers will have
the advantage of experience, since
the team is composed mainly Of
veterans and has met several teams
this season.
500 Team Has New Men.
Sioux City, like Central, has only
two veterans on the squad. Whit
mer, forward, and Foster, guard,
are the two letter men. The re
mainder of the team is composed
Of men who have played as subs
on the school team or have dis
tinguished themselves on class
teams. Whitmer is reported to have
a sharp eye for baskets Rogers
has won a place at guard and will
play his last game for his school
Saturday, since he receives his
sheepskin next week.
Either McFarlane or Younger
will start at the other forward po-
sition. McFarlane is speedy and a
good fipper. Younger's prowess
lies in his size and ability to put
the sphere through when near the
basket. Younger is relied upon to
toss the foul goals.
Peskin or Crane wiz start at
center. Peskin is fast, a good
passer and a clever dribbler. He is
also fair on the long baskets. Crane
is good on the tipoff, is fair at pass
ing and is more consistent on the
short basket.
Centrars lineup for this week is
uncertain. ClerAents, Paynter and
Shanahan, who were\ineligible last
week, will strivR to clear the schol-
arship hurdle this week and be in
the remaining floor trays. An inter-
class game will probably precede
the Sioux City-Omaha contest.

President Earl Higgins of the
Greater Omaha league expects to
call a meeting Of the managers
about February to consider form
ing new organization. Higgins
feels that the league cannot CON
form to the rules of the amateur
association and present the class of
ball looked for by its patrons.
Holmes Wants Change.
Ernie Holmes is in favor of a
semi-pro league, playing in enclosed
parks, providing a field for activities
Of former professionals. The rules
of the amateur association strictly
prohibit the addition Of former pro-
fessionals to strengthen teams, and
if this rule is strictly adhered ito
many of the players would be forced
out. In Homes opinion a semi
pro league could be successfully or
ganized, providing a high class. Of
base ball, in no way interfering with
the operation of the amateur clubs
and would ia reality strengthen the
simon-pure association. Ernie
viii probably introduce the resolu-
ton to withdraw from the Omaha
Athletic association and will prob
ably be supported by the Murphys,
Armours, Longeways and Met
Gales.
Johnny Dennison, former class A
manager, who is being sought to
manage a Krug representative team
this year, appears to be the only one
opposing the idea. Dennison de-
clares if he returns to the game at
all it will be as an amateur. He
doesn't favorl semi-pro tAse ball and
thinks ser1i-pro league would be
unsuccessful. Despite the fact that
he was one of the first to have an
enclosed park for class A ball he
does not now favor playing amateur
ball in enclosed parks.
Like Semi-Pro Idea.
Bert Murphy declares that he
doesn't wish to be quoted just yet.
He will wait until the meeting is
held Is do his talkinr Though de-
clining to issue statement on the
matter, Bert animated that he
would string along with the rest of
the managers in, whatever action
they decided TO take.
Frank Delaware, speaking for, the
Armours, declared he was strong
Tor semi-pro league and that the
Armour team is making prepare
tons to play semi-pro ball this. year.
He also stated that he had several
things under his bonnet regarding
the matter that he was not at lib
eFty TO divulge until the meeting is
held.
