Cliantlicrlnln Doubtful A I I I to l.lne With the lit 13 Poothiill Tcnm. 'The glum look which the athletic authorities at the University of Nebraska were wearing today is both justified and easy of explanation. Guy Chamberlain, star half-back on last year's Nebraska football eleven, probably has been lost to the Oornhusker cause. Chamberlain is more than anxious to return to school this week and take his old place on Jumbo Stiehm's HALFBACK GUY CHAMBERLAIN.

Whose return to the football squad at the University of Nebraska is in doubt. 'varsity lineup, but conditions have arisen which may make that impossible. The father of the Gage county aihlete owns tin expansive farm in Canada in addition to his possessions near Blue Springs. Neb. The elder Chamberlain is now in Canada, giving personal attention to the wheat harvest, while the son is in charge of the Gage county farm.

Chamhberlain, following his Canada junket, has projected a trip-to the San exposition and unless he can he convinced that he should delay his journey, the son ratrst- stick in Gage county, passing football to run the home fr.rm. The announcement concerning the probable loss of the Cornbuskers' wiz- ard halfback comes from an authora live source, being none other than Ath letic Director Stiehm, who has just returned from- a motor car trip to Blue Springs, where he discussed the situation with Chamberlain from every angle. Despite rumors to the contrary, Guy is more than anxious to don the moleskins on Nebraska field, yet the latter will not be possible in case his father hies on his proposed sightseeing trip to the Pacific coast. Shaking Up of Stiehm's Plans. The probability that Chamberlain may not return points to a general shaking up of Jumbo Stiehm's football plains.

The head coach of the Cornhuskers had figured on using Chamberlain at defensive end and offensive halfback. The Blue Springs athlete demonstrated last year that he was a defensive end of exceptional ability. Not one substantial gain was made around Chamberlain's wing by any of the Huskers' opponents. On the offensive, Chamberlain was a ground-gaining halfback with but few peers in the annals of Missouri valley football. ChamberlaTri made his most brilliant runs against Nebraska's strongest opponents, notably in the games with the Michigan Aggies, the Ames Aggies and the Kansas Jayhawkers.

With Dick Rutherford as his running mate, Chamberlain was nominated by unanimous vote for the all-star Missouri valley lineup, while Rutherford and Chamberlain also were placed by A. A. Britt, an eastern expert, on Outing's national roll Of honor. Reese a Halfback Candidate. In event Guy Chamberlain fails to return to football, Head Coach Stiehm probably will use Jimmy Gardiner, an Omaha boy, at end and then devote his efforts to drilling a halfback to fill Chamberlain's shoes as a running halfback.

The material for the back field is promising, although offensive halfbacks of Chamberlain's wizardry are seldom seen at any institution, west or east. Herb Reese, a track sprinter at Nebraska for the past two years, will turn out for football practice this week and make a bid for one of the halfback positions. Reese has more speed than Chamberlain, although he lacks the latter's experience and weight. Reese was a member of the freshman squad three years ago, playing on the first-year team with Rutherford, and at that time displayed exceptional promise. An injured knee compelled him to retire temporarily from practice and eventually he decided to pass up football and take up track sports.

Reese kept away from track activities last spring in order to make himself eligible for a year of football. Reese tips the beam at 165 pounds or more and probably has more speed than any football candidate inspected on Nebraska field in years. Out of the Corn Popper Prexy Tip Will Fight. Just as was forecasted, the information has. been flashed over the wires from the Windy City; where Tip O'Neill has been holding forth in his "suite de luxe' 'at Charley Comiskey's baseball emporium, that Tip will not step down from the presidency of the Western league without giving the club owners who bounced him a battle.

Tip claims he has a contract to serve as president for five years and that said term hot expire until after the season logic is-woozy, although there is no telling what may result if be persists ia defying 'the- magnates and theirr-a bout in the courts. The constitution of the Western league fixes the term oi" the president at one year. At the meeting four years ago this coming winter, O'Neill was reelected, the magnates adopting a motion his term be extended to five years. The constitution, however, was not amended. In other words, it still provides that the president's term consists of one year.

The same constitution fixes a method of calling a meeting of the club The five magnates tossed Tip over the transom assert that they were governs by the rules of the league when they proceeded to provide for their recent Omaha meeting. Six of the owners--a three-fourths majority-signed a request to O'Neill to issue a call and when Prexy Tip declined tc be governed by the mapority, Vice President Ed Hanion, Director Bill Kourke and Owner John Savage sent a message to every club owner, O'Neill 'included, giving notice that a meeting would be held in Omaha last Saturday. From this recital of the de- laiif- leading up to the Omaha ses- it is clear that the owners were within their rights, although the fact should not be overlooked that nothing should be taken for granted if the courts are called into the controversy. Tip's determination to stick is the most illogical step he couid pursue. It is not doubted that he has had the good will of many of the supporters of baseball in the Western loop, yet he stands to lose these when he adopts a policy of defiance and snaps his fingers at a HiajoriSy of the men who have been paying his salary.

The average man. in O'NeiH's position, even it he had been wronged, would cheerfully abide In- the win of the majority, refusing to force himself on a set of men who to dispense with his services- Tip O'Xeill is no beggar. As a mat- ter of fact he is rated as a wealthy man, having numerous investments which bring him in an annual income manystimes greater than the salary he has been drawi- the Western league. The ov. may have made a mistake in voting him out, although probably riot one of them would concede that point, yet the fact remains that they have their money invested in the various franchises in this league and it is their own funeral if they have erred in tossing Tip 'over the transom.

Turmoil irt the Northwest. The Western league has no mon opoly of this quarrel stuff. Up in the Northwestern league, the Spokane club appeared to have a cinch on the pennant. Then the Seattle club fh- augurated a record-shattering climb and gradually overhauled Spokane, threatening to jump into the first position. Spokane, after a string of defeats in Seattle, was scheduled to play two games in the latter city on Labor day.

Unbeknown to the president of the league and Dudgale, the Seattle club owners' the presidents of the Ta- corna, Spokane and Vancouver clubs, the three other members of the circuit, held a secret session and revised the schedule, sending the Vancouver club to Seattle on Labor day and booking Tacoma for Spokane, an arrangement which permitted the Spokane team to return home, in opposition to an original schedule which billed Spokane to play its remaining games on the road. In order to clinch the deal, the Spokane management paid the Tacoma club a bonus of $1,000 to play in Spokane. Owner Dugdale protested, but in vain, following which the Tacoma Tigers hiked to Spokane and proceeded to escort the latter team to a series of trimmings which has enabled Seattle, by dint of whipping the Vancouver club, to step ahead of Spokane in the percentage table. The Seattle aggregation, incidentally, has been making history during its spectacular climb. Here is the Seattle record for the past two months: Climbed from last to first place in the race for the pennant- Won eighteen consecutive victories.

Won fifty-four victories and suffered twelve defeats. Piayed at a percentage rate of Developed from a rank taiJ-ender into one of the best teams that has ever represented Seattle.

5. S. Co, Atlanta. Ga, THE DAYS OF REAL SPORT--BY BRIGGS. A t)IE0 A HE I OH Vbo HOC C'MOfO OVER thing which Tip O'Neill has put over in this Western league.

It appears, however, that Jack and Izzy failed to compare briefs before commenting on the action of the other club owners in giving Tip the grand bounce. The St. Joseph newspapers quote Holland as declaring that the Omaha meeting was not legal; that Tip is entitled to continue in office, and that he. Holland, will recognize O'Neill as the league's president. Izzy, it seems, is willing to go along with the other owners.

The Des Moines Register-Leader quotes him as saying: "I think 'the men! at the Omaha meeting acted hastily, but I will abide bv whatever the other owners think O'Neill has his friends and the latter are entitled to stand by him, but the fact remains that Tip's defiance in refusing to attend the Omaha meeting was the deciding factor in the unanimous vote by which he was discharged.

The veteran southpaw g-ot his baseball start in 1898, with Grand Rapids, in the old Interstate leagrue. Before the season was over he was given his first chance in the National league with the Louisville Colonels, but failed to stick. The next season found him back in Grand Rapids, and he was later with Columbus in the same circuit. In he played with Syracuse, then in the Eastern leaKue. the daddy of the present International circuit.

In 1901 he wore a Toronto uniform for a yhile. and then skipped out to the Pacific coast, playing with Los Angeles in the California State league. In Nick broke into the American association with the Milwaukee Brewers. His second chance in the big league came in when he pitched for the Boston and Chicago Americans. He was ill most of Gill's message urging Tip to be pres-) ent, the Denver magnate had no alternative but to fall into line with the other owners in their decision that the time had come to show Tip that he was the servant, not the master, of the Western league.

Smashed a Pitchinq Record. Pitcher Danfortii of the Louisville club steps forward as the new strikeout king of the American association. Prior to a recent performance by Danforth, Marty O'Toole, who pitched Sioux City into the Western league pennant in the race of 1910, held the A. record for strikeouts. Marty's best achievement consisted of "seventeen strikeouts in one game auring the season of 1911, but Danfortii went Marty one better by whiffing eighteen of the Kansas City Blues in the first game of last Sunday's doubleheader in the metropolis of the Blue Grass commonwealth.

Danforth breezed all the way from one to three of the K. C. hitters in each of the nine Innings, disposing of Chick Mattick, a Western leatige graduate and rightfully rated as a dangerous club-swinger, on three occasions. Only twenty-nine batters faced Danforth during the nine innings; only three balls were hit to the Louisville outfield, and the Blues were held to two hits, one which was a fluke. Joe Leonard, another Western league graduate, gleaned the one clean hit off Danforth's slants.

In four games during the past week, Danforth has struck out forty-eight batters. Chris Jordan's Busy Week.
