U-ft After one of the mildest sod dullest sessions in years, the major lesue magnates started home today aiter a three days', conclave that pro duced little oJ interest in baseball. The American' league macnates congratulated themselves privately in that they had returned to power by beating the National league oa the major issue the shortening of the 1926 playing season, and by blocking the-proposal to permit pitchers to use resin on the ball. The American league owners also saw signs of a political change when Commissioner Landis voted with them to end the 1926 season on September 21 against the solid opposition of the National league.

Landis cast the deciding vote in favor ot the shorter season when the major leagues had finished in a tie. The resin rule may be brought up again by the National league1 men at the joint meeting ot the rules committee in February and again it may be dropped for another year. No Big Dsala No deals of any great importance were completed but several were started and they may be completed at the spring meetings. The Boston Red Sox released BUI Wambsganss, veteran second baseman, to the Philadelphia Athletics for the waiver ot M.000 and-the Red Sox also released Bud Connolly, an lnnetder and John Hering, a young catcher, to the Toledo club for Alec Gaston, former Giant catcher. The Athletics gave Doc Prothro, former Washington infielder and $4,000 to the Portland club for Emmet, McCann, a young infielder.

Bucky Harris, Washington manager, laid he understood that Deacon Scott veteran shortstop, would retire from baseball and devote his time to the management of a bowling parlor in Fort Wayne. The Buffalo International league club secured Neal Brady, pitcher, from the Clnclnantl Reds, and Fresco Thompson, infielder, from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Louisville sold Maurice Shannon, a shortstop, to the Chicago Cubs. Sloane to Join All-Star Team DES MOINES, Dec. 10.

BERLENBACH AND DELANEY TO MIX To Officially Open Tex Bickard'i New Five Million Dollar Arena in New York City Tonight BY HENRY L. FARRELL. YORK, Dec. 11. There is an old and respected adage of the ring upset once by Stanley Ketchell, that a boxer once knocked out by an opponent will always be a mark for that same opponent In March, 1924, Berlenbach, a reformed amateur wrestler, reached ther end of a sensational string Of kaockouts when he was stopped by Jack Delaney, a French Canadian sharpshooter from Bridgeport.

oeipaca. lur groeo, ngnier, ana luo stolid German went out and won the world's light heavyweight championship. Tonight in Madison Square Garden the same Berlenbach and the same Delaney will open officially Tex Rickard's new arena In a fifteen-round bout for the championship and Berlenbach in spite of the established Jinx is a 7 to 5 favorite to win. Favor Berlenbach. Those who study boxing favor Berlenbach because he is a vastly Improved fighter In the last two years and because the punch that put Berlenbach out In his first big fight was landed by a groggy reeling Delaney who put everything in a wild right hand punch that found Its mark on an unprotected chin.

Delaney will jiave to win quickly If he wins because Berlenbach will have ten pounds' weight on him and a half ton of punch pounds. For the first time sinoe he has been promoting boxing in New York, Tex Rickard had to close the ticket windows twenty-four hours before aflght. The new garden will seat 23,000 and only 3,000 unreserved seats that are to be placed on tale at 5 o'clock, remain. The receipts probably will reach $175,000 and Berlenbach's share is said to be $75,000. ROUNDING THIRD BY HUGH A.

Dec. 11. U.R A red-balred youngster named Harold Grange, who went to the University of Illinois three years ago as a hero in his own home town of Wheaton, 111., but unknown to the outside world, has brought an in the nation's realm of sports more startling and more sudden than anything that has occurred in the last 25 years. This is the sudden and unprecedented interest in professional football. From a position of obscurity and almost ridicule, Red has thrust pro football into a position of major importance so that- It threatens to become one of our national institutions.

Others, of course, have laid the foundations. Others have been playing the game for a number of years and it has been growing in public respect year tt year. But it remained for Orange, tht most spectacular of all college gridiron players, to set off the sputtering fuse with the added light ot his brilliance and make the public scramble for tickets as it has not scrambled In many and many a day. The. ethics ot college graduates engaging in professional football has been questioned.

The effect it would have on amateur athletics and college football in particular nas oeen ae Datea. some nave ex-1 pressed fear that college men would "lose their head" by the comparative ease of winning small fortunes in a few football games Others have been afraid that the thousands of dollars spent in great university stadiums during the past ten years would go to wasteland the public would turn Its patronage to the professional games. But pro football has come prancing right along, apparently profiting by the publicity given to the controversy. Chicago was perhaps the first big city to accept professional football. The great universities of the middle west were sending a multitude ot graduates, many of them star, iooioaii players, io unicago in search of business careers.

They got together frequently, talked football and then organised what were known as "semi-pro" teams, working in their offices during the week and playing sandlot games on Sunday. Neighborhood communities turn ed out to see these college players perform. The crowds grew in sise and enthusiasm. Some of the col-leae men who had eves for business saw 'an opportunity to capitalise on the growing Interest They leased the major league baseball parks and advertised their games. As other cities took up with the idea and formed teams in their own cities, two ot these pioneer teams in Chicago survived as "major" teams and booked games with teams from other cities.

'And so the National Professional Football league was formed with Chicago's Bears and Cardinals, the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Yellow-jackets, the Columbia Tigers, and teams from Detroit, Buffalo and other cities joining In. Business was booming in the circuit and was making rapid headway toward recognition, but- when Red Grange left his classes at the University ot Illinois and signed a contract to play with the Chicago Bears at a.fabulous sum, the flood gates were thrown open and the public responded with rioting to buy tickets. Just how tar this movement will go, Just how near It will rival professional baseball as a business enterprise, just how it will affect college players and the gate receipts at university stadiums Is as yet uncertain but pro football apparently la here as a permanent member of the American sporting family. Tombaugh to Pilot Kansas Aggie Team MANHATTAN, Kas, Dec. 10.

Tombaugh- of Kansas City, junior in rural commerce and center on the 1925 Kansas Aggie football team, was named captain Of the 1926 team at the annual election tonight The election was hrld In conjunction with the Manhattan chamber of commerce banquet Tombaugh won his first letter at the Aggie, school in 1924 as left guard. He will lead a team of eighteen letter men next year, since but four of the twenty-two men granted letters this year have completed their allotted three year of Missouri Valley play. 1 Effort Being: Made to Oct Uni "vsriity of Southern California to Come to Nebraska Jut Season.

Nebraska 'university athletic au- woriues announced many mom-ins that they had scheduled a game with Waahin.ton university of St Loula for October 18, at, St Louis, thereby filling one of the date -still open on the Cornhusker schedule. Efforta are being made to schedule a game with the University of Southern California and it is thought probable that such a game may be arranged, altho university authorities gave out no information as to. how the negotiations were progressing. If a contract is made With Southern California the first game would be played on the Nebraska Memorial stadium field and this game would, take the place of the Notre I)ame contest. The matter will have consideration by the California authorities si a meeting ui me vaciiiocuaai conference at Seattle this wek AAaafiil it rrtoan'a -kat Qnnlhorti folL tforfcia will play here next year and 1 luai, a-cbS o-b-ks in uiano vi lyo to the coast the following two sea VAhMSba will wvknlr a twA na mm 8ohduls Filled.

Several schools that Nebraska had tried to get games with have turned the games down on account of their schedules being filled. West Virginia, Alabama, Pittsburgh, Lehigh are among the universities that Nebraska has tried to get dates with but has been unsuccessful. The University of Washington at St. Louis is one of the Missouri valley schools and has not been much of a factor in valley football in the past but during the last season with -a new coach in charge made a better showing and may have a pretty strong team next year. x.

If' the university athlfetic authorities can tie up with Southern 1 California It will make a splendid schedule for the Huskers next season, with both the University of Southern California and Washington university, of Seattle' on the bill, the latter being played on the Coast on Thanksgiving With the U. S. C. to take the place of Notre Dame, the annual classic between the two teams would not be greatly missed. The financial arrangement' under which Nebraska and Notre lkm hclH thAli- vamM in rt th haatfl fit lOft OHO viiftranraA ni fin per cent of the gate receipts: When Nebraska played Notre Dame at South Bend in 1924 the Huskers had this agreement with the Notre Dame school.

This year when the Notre Dame eleven came here the same agreement was in force and Notre Dame accepted 50 per cent of the gate receipts which amounted to about 136.000, it was stated at the office ot the athletic department of the university. Notre. Dame was to come to Nebraska in 1926 for 60 per cent of the gate -receipts provision for a guarantee left off. to run three years, with the two schools to decide where the third game was to be played It was decided by Notre Dame that it would not be played. Notre Dame has received the check for the full amount due them from the gate at Nebraska on Thanksgiving day and the matter between the two schools la closed as tar as Nebraska is concerned.

The athletic department is now trying to get a game with some other school to take the place ot Notre Dame and may sign a game that will not be too tor the other date not yet filled. JoeKyan in the Sioux City Journal: The writer predicted the day following Thanksgiving that' Notre Dame and Nebraska would not meet In 1926. A person close to Knute Rockne Informed us that the bitterness was becoming so Intense that Rockne felt it were better to sever relationship than to continue. Rockne didn't blame the Nebraska ft atfk Hnftv HTViA 1 Mnrmnn si corded the Notre Dame eleven during the game was nothing but vuui icuua. i uerej ven evidences of bitternesshowever, before the game that could not but be noticed, even by a disinterested spectator.

Blame is placed on a story on these pages today on the- gambling element, and that probably Is where the blame belongs. The enly thing that counts in the life of a gambler is victory and when he loses he lets out a. wall that reaches to the Heavens. Ana ne wiu do every thing in his power to make victory possible. It is unfortunate that these two great teams have sever ed connections, but in view of the strained feeling it Is just as well.

1 la a year or so, after the Incidents 'of Thanksgiving have been forgotten, their annual meetings can be arranged. The contest with Notre Dame is worth something to Lincoln, at was pointed out In these paragraphs some weeks ago. It is certain that 30,000 of the 45,009 tans who saw. the Thanksgiving struggle were visitors. Each ot those Visitors spent on an average ot 5, making a total ot 1150,000 that was put Into circulation.

That's a lot ot money and it explains why Lincoln business men and univer sity officials are to anxious -be hold the game on the Nebraska schedule.

The 4 sorrel-topped lad, whose previously injured arm was again hurt yesterday' In the game with the Pittsburgh All Start, was feeling much better today. "I'll be able to play In Chicago Sunday Grange said before leaving, here today. According to Dr. Guetav F.

Berg, the physician for the Pittsburgh baseball club, who had the "Firing Phantom" under his care at a notel here, Grange needs a rest ot about three days and nothing else. "The boy Is In good physical condition," Berg told the United Press. "There is nothing wrong with him. The stories about his being in a rundown condition are greatly exaggerated." Six thousand persons who shivered thru yesterday's contest) on the coldest rtay of the year "In ritta-burgh saw Red Grange participate In nine plays during the 12 minutes he was in 'the game.

made by veteran football men that Red Grange would get plenty ot bumping around "Tn the professional gaAe were borne out yesterday when tne former Illinois star had to leave the jame in Pittsburgh. Grange was never hurt seriously when he was playing with Illinois because he was protected by the interference and support of his team and by orders of his coach to save himself. Bob Zuppke, the Illinois coach, said after Grange had distinguished himself in the game against Pennsylvania that he would not allow him to help in Interference, that he was not allowed to touch the ball unless he was actually on the of fense and that he was cautioned to make tackles only when neces- marv Zuppke said It was this pro tec- tlon that gave Grange such vitality and endurance and found him physically fit to meet any situation when it arose. The interference given Grange all during the 1925 season was marvelous mid Britton took roost ot the bumps for him. Critics pointed out that Grange had to go it almost alone irr Boston, Washington and Pittsburgh and several of them pointed out that his line, either was worn out or wasn't disposed to take the bumps for the glorification of the rising young millionaire.

THE CALL OF THB OUT OF DOORS By WIU B. Dlla-. Pmldrnt I. 1. A.

Eyts It you were an eagle, you could read these linesfwe are told at a distance ot 600 feet' I dont know Just how, anybody but an eagle knows how far away an eagle can see things, but we must take the word ot others in the absence of first hand knowledge. However, in some matters not all naturalists agree. For Instance, one man recently wrote about the eyes ot birds, and assured- us that the eyes were fixed focus, to use an expression from the camera wogrd. That is, that everything was in focus at the same time, Instead of only one thing at a time, as in the case of the human eye. Another authority states, in telling of the eyesight of the.

eagle and ot the way he de-scendsrom. great heights on his innocent quarry: As the eagle de scends, the focus ot the eye must adjusted with a speed and an accuracy that is, to say the least, marvelous. The eyes of birds and animals are interesting, even if we're not so sure about them. From the owl, which can manipulate the diaphragm at will, changing it from the size of A pin head to the sise of an acorn, according to the ease or obscurity of the visibility, to the snail, whose eyes are on the ends of protuberances that look like feelers, arid can be drawn in at will, a study of the eyes of bird and animals would perhaps reveal to us the supreme importance thru- out the animal world of this useful organ. The most interesting eyes of all, to me, are those of the halibut.

When a halibut is a baby halibut its eyes are placed just as are those ot any other fish, and the halibut swims in the usual upright position. But as the fish grows older, it begins to swim on Its side. Since it stays in pretty deep water, the under eye has no chance. So what does the under eye do? Well, it simply passes thru the head of the fish and takes a position beside the upper one. Thenceforth the halibut has two eyes on one side ot his face, and none on the other.

Jus why the halibut isn't hatched with both eyes on one side, as long as that's whefethey're aSMng to be, Is something that nobody has so far discovered. (Copyrisht, tilt.)

Had Slsler escaped eye trouble which forced him into retirement for a year, he might have' become the greatest batsman of all time. He had a remarkable record up to the time that be was compelled to toss aside his uniform for a full season. Slsler was a sharp hitter. He had a short chop stroke that enabled him to follow a curve ball thru and cut it out of the catcher's glove. It was almost impossible to fool him.

If he was not on top of the ball getting it before it broke, he gof it after it broke, something that few batsmen are able to do and something that no batter' can do unless he is a chop hitter. Ed. Delahanty was a natural batsman (Ike Anson, Lange and Lajoie. He was1 snot fast and he earned his hits honestly. Harry Hellmann, one of the best right-handed batters developed in the last two decades, is also one of the hardest hlters in the game.

Heilmann's batting average represents outfield hits because" he Is not fast and there is no chance for him to get hits on infield grounders as Cobb, Slsler and other fast men have. Zach Wheat Is a straightaway hitter, a sluggeisj He does not try to bunt and he seldom tries to place his hits; he just whales the ball. Joe Jackson was the same kind of hitter. Jackson used to give Cobb a hard run for the batting championship each season, but Cobb always managed to htt Just a few points better no matter how well Jackson hit Jackson was on of the fastest men in the game and espec'illy in going to first Eddie Collins is another of the scientific school. He Is a good, intelligent, honest batsman.

He can bunt a ball and he can drag one. He can hit to any field. Collins has the trick of siting up his infield and crossing the fielders. He has been in the game a long time but he his speed while others, playing barely halt as long as Collins, have slipped. Frankle Frisch cannot be classed as a left-handed batter nor as a right-handed one.

rie Is "turn around" batter, doing his batting from either the left or right side of the plate. He does his most effective work wt-handed and he manages tooe one of the major league leaders in batting each year.

This Special offer for one week With Every Tuxedo Suit Tuxedo Accessories Free CHAPTER XL "Cap" Anson, First of the Sluggers. Babe Ruth is the hardest and the longest hitter the game has ever seen, but ever since Ruth began piling up his home run totals there has been a question in my mind whether famous sluggers ot the olden days men like Dela-nanty, Anson and Lange could not have poled the ball as far as Ruth If the lively ball had been in use at that time. Even Lajoie, of a later day, might have made some record drives had he batted against the lively balL, But that question can never be answered altho it will continue to be argued. There is this about Ruth that none can take from him: he is the most consistent slugger of all time. Ruth drives a ball a long way every time he gets hold of it, while the sluggers Of the early era of baseball drove it out only now and then, not one of them! showing the consistency of Ruth as a slugging marvel Adrian C.

Anson, whom everybody called "Cap," was the first ot the great sluggers. He was what the old schoQl called a natural He was slow on his feet and like Lajoie he had to get his hits clean, bo he stood up and slugged the ball. Men with little speed cannot indulge in much science but must do what Anson did and what Lajoie did later on. They can net use finesse; they have to swing. "Wahoo Samuel" Crawford must be included among the leading sluggers ot all time.

Had he been in his prime when the lively oail entered the game, he probably would have been the home xron king of baseball. Certainly he would have given Ruth a mighty close chase for the first position among the home run hitters. Many fly balls were off -Crawford's bat that would clear the outfield fences if driven with aa much force today. Crawford could have improved his average and ob tained many more 'hits had he shortened his swing, but it wasn't natural for him and yon could never get him to do it Once or twice he tried chop hitting and because he didn't get immediate results, he abandoned the effort) He always went back to his long swing, which was the way he learned to bat 'in his youth, out in Nebraska. While Hal Chase played first base he was Crawford's nemesis, for when Sam came to bat Chase would play after instructing the pitcher to.

cover first base, Chase went so deep that he was able to snag drives thai! got by any Other first baseman (Crawford being a "dead" rlghtfleld hitter) and be would throw to the pitcher and Crawford High Has Made Good Record CRAWFORD, Dec.
