THE LINCOLN SUNDAY STAB. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1916. 'Nit. Britton President of the St. Louis Cardinals By Inheritance.

Declares She Is In Business to Stay--Refuses to Seii Out. ST. LOUIS, Nov. was no doubt tonight among those know that Mrs. Helene Hathaway Kobison Britton--America's first wo- major league club pre.lden -will Able to conduct the business affairs of the 8L Loula Cardinals.

Britton was selected president toy thex board of directors today following the resignation of her hu.sbund. Bchuylcr P. Britton, and will serve until the regular election of the club January. The written resignation of Brltton was tendered the directors by Britton following- her stilt for divorce from her husband. It was accepted without parley.

Britton will again tight any such "move Last season an eastern sport- nlf man was reported backing a syndicate to purchase the Cardinals. Britton learned tho pur- merely to drive her from the game, she refused to sell despite the fact that the syndicate was report- mi to have offered a sum above price previously set by her husband. Stay." "Certain men have tried to force me out of the National league," Mrs.

Brlt- ton said tonight, "but they failed before nnd they will fail again. A rumor has come to me that these men say I trill have to get out now because I am divorcing my husbojad and cant run the club by myself. Nothing is 'further from my mind. I'm in tne business to stay and I'll not get out until I get ready." i Mrs. Britton's career ns a baseball magnate has not been n.

garden of roses. Shortly after she inherited the club from her uncle, Stanley Robison, ousted J. C. Jones as President. Edward A.

Steininger succeeded Jones and lasted through 1912 season, when he was "rolled" by the efforts of her husband. Displeased with Roper Brcs- uohan's tactics as manager of the club, "fired" him in 1912. Bresnahan had a contract which did not expire until the end of tho 1916 season. After a court contest Bresnnhan was reported to have settled far below the value of the document Mrs. Britton's friends said the release, of Bresnahan was her biggest victory.

In tlie manipulation of the forward pass, the Nebraska eleven wan midly lacking. Most of the pusses either were muffed or landed harmlessly on the turf. The i smashing attack displayed by Cham- lierlain and Uutherford, the back field stars of the past tyvo years, wna miss- i ing and whenever the Huakcrs were in a position to make a bid for a touchdown, the offense flattened out aud lost its drive. The Jayhawkers fought with their backs to the wall during the first and second periods, depending entirely on Llndsey'ti superb kicking to boot the ball out ot danger. Their whirlwind attack the third period turned the tide.

Shooting forward ning- the lino or speeding around the Nebraska wings, the Jayhawkers had i enough scoring power in reserve to accomplish Nebraska's undoing. Halfbuck Fast wos the most potent i factor in the Kansas attack--and Fast was rated only as a substitute. In truth, he outclassed the over-touted Woodward, the player whose eligibil-' ity had been called into quoxlion, and while Nielsen scored the touchdown. Fast ia the yonth entitled to the largest share of the laurels. Without Fast the Jayhawkers would have been whipped ftncl Corey'n Huccesaful- place kick during the first period would have netted the only points of the battle.

Husker Line Proved Its Power. Halfback John Cook was the most dependable ball slugger for the vanquished Cornhuskers, but Caley reeled off Nebraska's moat substantial gain when lie scored seventeen yards on a sprint around K. left end. Gardner 1 und Rhodes also bucked their way through ihi 1 Kansas 'line for a scries of substantial gains, but the smashing- power In the back field was clumsily impotent in every crisis. Defensively, the Nebraska line was erb.

Then when driving power was needed, the Cornhuaker attack lacked power. EffortB to make use of aerial football netted tha Cornhuskers only S3 yards in 17 tries at hurling: the forward pass.

Wlllnrd the heavyweight champion, is considering entering the real estate business in Chicago, according to information received by his associates. His contract with a circus has expired and he plans to motor from Fort Worth. to Chicago, arriving here about November 27.

"At last George came to with a jerk, and when Dime, called to him he seemed as though he woke with a start, for ho said: "Hellot What's wrong?" "Dime smiled a sad grim smile and replied: "You've been knocked out." "Chip looked at Dime for a few seconds and then grinned: "Omit trying to kid me, Jimmy," ho said. How could I be knocked out when the fight doesn't begin until tonight." "Dime had ciuito a time convincing the stupefied Chip that he wasn't in his own bed on the morninK before the fight, but that lie actually was on the floor of the ring in which Darcy had dealt out to him such a crushing defeat."

Jess Willard Take Note! John Bairi Sutherland, of Pitt, who ranks as one of the best football guards In America, never played the American game until two years ago. He is a Scot and went to the'Unl- versHy of Pittsburgh for his schooling direct from his domicile over the sea. Sutherland, by the way. is an all- around athlete and his boxing prowess has influenced many enthusiastic fight promoters to urge him to a professional heavy weight when he graduates. But Sutherland Is going to be a dentist.

Two winters ago, Sutherland, who towers G-l and beams 190--entered a boxing tournlng in McKeesport, for fun." Pa't Herron and' Bob Peck, fellow footballers for ent along- to act as towel swingers, and seconds. When Peck and Herron saw Sutherland's opponent they begged the Pitt boy to "duck." Tho rival slugger weighed only, 260 pounds, was several inches taller than Sutherland, had a tremendous reach and the reputation for being- a great boxer and a "Kill- 'cm-dead" hitter. Sutherland wouldn't beat It--so Peck and Herron did. They rushed out to get an ambulance and nurses and doctors and embalming- fluid and a shroud jfor Sutherland. When they got back, "the fight was over--and a doctor was needed for Sutherland's foe.

The collegian hit the other fellow just once-and goodnight. The folly of the guarantee system, besetting: evil of the boxing game, has been brought forcibly home to another ambitious promoter. Frequently attention has been directed to the high handed tactics of the so- tailed stars of the ring and warning has been given that a continuance of the guarantee system encouraged other boxers to stick matchmakers and the paying- public at every opportunity, but all preaching appears to have been in vain. Reckless promoters, usually to the game, or daring speculators willing to take a chance on a clean up through one big match, have through their reckless offers and guarantees kept the conservative matchmakers in hot water continually and have made it difficult to secure good battles on anything like reasonable terms. It is not until the plunging promoter receives a still financial kick that he conies to his senses.

And then his wails of grief and pain are heart The moral of this little preachment centers'in one Harry Sherman, the main mogul of the boxing game in Minnesota. He is the fire brand that has been disrupting the sport recently, but he seems to be effectually squelched now. He is sitting back, nursing his financial wounds and lamenting the day he started out to be a ring impresario on a big scale. For Harry Sherman got stung- decisively- in the promotion of the recent affair be- ttveen Mike Gibbons and Jack Dillon. Conservative estimates place his losses at about J4.000.

The total receipts of the show were a trifle under Sherman expected they would run close to $30,000. Dillon was under a guarantee of $7,500 and Gibbons was promised $10.000 for his bit. Both took the precaution to collect their end in advance when they saw the sale of tickets was not coming up to expectations. This little evidence of the thoushtful- ness and generosity of the fighting men was another eye-opener for Sherman-although It is an old story with promoters who have been identified with the game for any great length of time. Gibbons and Dillon exacted their pound of flesh and they cared not one whit over I he financial troubles of the man who had made it possible for, them to earn this big sum for thirty minutes of fight- Ing.

THE REPORTER AT THE BANQUET. 'Twzs Ever In Golf. "Jim used to play In S5, his game was fairly good--could putt, approach and cut the ball was steady with his wood. Then Jim read all the golfer's books, absorbed each written line, and found his game was going bad pnck to the sh must go he played in S9.

Now he is off on ft speech, Good for wearisome sppll, tf ho keeps on I shall screech, Why don't they give him the bell? Stories of lineage old, Jokes of the hoariest age.

But. for the bubbling champagne. I shall sit. down and write, and wit were aglow. It was a sclntillant night!" --Berton Braley.

THE RUN THAT WON FOR NORTHWESTERN It is amusing: now to hear Sherman's lamentations over the affair. In his own line of business, the moving picture gume. the word of Sherman Is equivalent to Ills uond. He has never been known to renlg on a promise or a contract. His Ideals of business he carried with him into tbe boxing: game.

Ke is wiser now. For some time past Sherman and Gibbons have been pals and It looked as If lasting personal friendship existed between them. In fact, the Impression was Riven out thnt Sherman had the authority to transact all ring business for Gibbons. The nisht of the battle, however, the mask of pretended friendship was thrown aside nnd hard, cold business dealing took it splaee. Before Gibbons would agree to enter the ring, as the story goes he demanded that every penny of his guarantee be paid in advance.

In vain Sherman expostulated and promised to make good to the last cent. Gibbons merely shook bis head. "Pay tbe $10.000 now or there'll be no flsht." was the unyielding attitude of the phantom. And Sherman, seeing that it was useless to argue further hustled out and raised tho necessary amount. There' must have been concerted action between Gibbons and Dillon, because the Hoosler man-killer wen through the same program and Sherman acain was forced to yield.

About the only satisfaction Sherman got out of It wns a threat to the principals that If thev did not really figh he would tie xip their guarantees in thi court on the ground that they had not given an honest return in efforts for the money they received. The 'battle however, appeared to have satisfied all the spectators. This display of the mercenary side of boxers is of frequent occurrence. Perhaps one of the most avaricious cases on record Involves the former lightweight, champion. Willie Ritchie.

"Couldn't think of it," he exclaimed pathetically- "I've lost a lot of prestige by tlte battle and It may be hard tor me to get matches after this. Tho club did not kick the last time ana i don't think they ought to do it now. If I had beaten White it would have been different." That is in substance the answer Ritchie save to the modest request that he pay a part of his own expenses for traveling in state.

It wns as petty and penurious an attitude us has ever been exhibited by a boxer, and it undoubtedly has never been paralleled. In the caae of Harry Shermnr. he is paying dearly for his activities in the boxinl same. He lost i a chuiuc of money when the Welsh-White off at the last minute. together it is thought that Sheiman has sunk close to S12.000 in the sport to date.
