Lincoln Among 10 Teams Seeking 8 Three-I Berths By Dick Becker Washington Ten teams were after the 8 berths in the 3-1 League Tuesday. League directors were to meet late Tuesday afternoon to try to decide which teams will be in the organization for the 1959 season. Six members already in are Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Burlington, Winona, Green Bay and Appleton. Seeking membership are 4 Western League cities--Lincoln, Topeka, Sioux City and Des Moines. The first casualty will probably be Winona, which has until today's meeting to come up with a major league working This seems highly unlikely.

After that things become tougher. At this moment Davenport looks like the candidate to be dropped next. Davenport has enjoyed a full ownership by the Chicago White Sox, a tie-up that is to end. It is very doubtful that Davenport will be able to muster a local group take over the club in time to save the franchise in the 3-1 League. Such a move would leave the 3-1 with the 4 Western League clubs as a solid west division and Cedar Rapids, Burlington, Green Bay and Appleton in the east half.

This move is opposed by the Wisconsin towns still want no part of travel to Nebraska and Kansas. They prefer keeping Lincoln and Topeka out of the league. Big League Boost Major league clubs with farm tie-ups in the league, however, would like to see the 4 Western League cities come in to strengthen the loop and at least 5 major league teams are interested in putting farm clubs in to these communities if they gain 3-1 membership. The Western League directors were to meet Tuesday afternoon. It is understood they will decide the league's position in regard to indemnities in case the Texas League takes one, two or even all 4 of the western towns to fill out its league.

The Texas League is very interested in AmariUo, may consider Albuquerque and has even given thought to taking in Colorado Springs and Pu- elbo as a one-team entry that play half of the home games in one town and half in another. This possibility of financial gain was one of the reasons the Western League did not call it quits Sunday. However, most of the directors believe the league is in a poor position to bargain and may get nothng for franchises that are drafted. Deadline President Hal Totten of the 3-1 said he was going to push action by his league. He definitely wants to get the loop set before the convention ends Thursday.

Happiest delegates Tuesday were from Sioux City. Many of their financial problems were solved when Minneapolis took third baseman Danny Lynk in the player draft. This nets Sioux City $12,000, the draft price from Class A to AAA. Lynk was owned by the Soos outright. Buskers Just Warming Up Capture 85-44 Win In Opener By Del Black "I'm sure the fans will be back again." Those were the words of an unusually calm Bush.

Nebraska's a a coach had just watched his Cornhuskers whip Northwest Missouri State, 85-44, Monday night. The White Bear of the Coliseum suffered from the usual "pre-game jitters" but soon calmed down when his entertaining Huskers rolled to a 24-3 lead with 11:19 to play in the first half. "This is a club that can give you a lot of ball handling and still hit that basket," said the satisfied Bush. "All of the boys looked good tonight. How about that (Hers-hell) Turner? What a ball Nebraska shot at a 45.1 clip in the 1958-59 season inaugural.

Turner took scoring honors with 16 points, 12 of these coming in the first half. Short Lead The outclassed NW i soun i never had a chance. The visiting Bearcats led 2-1 at the outset NU's Wayne Hester then tallied a free throw to knot the count and Turner tipped a fielder on a missed charity toss and the Huskers were off to the races. Bush cleared his bench in the onesided contest with all but one of the Huskers-- Guy Sapp--- hitting the scoring column. Sapp, a Husker t- baller, just joined the squad last week.

Nebraska's i was well-balanced. Sophomore Al Maxey hooped 14, Bill Lundholm had 12 on 6 straight fielders, Hester tallied 11 and George Swank finished i 10. Lundholm was the pleasant surprise for Huskers He proved his deadly shooting ability with a soft lamp shot that could do plenty of damage for the Huskeis this cai Nebraska's a handling wizardry brought a a roar from the 3,500 fans Monday night. Turner and Maxey again the originators of the entertaining brand of basketball. Time and again the Indianapolis, Ind duo set up teammates with unthought of passes.

"We have had marvelous relationship with the Pittsburgh Pirates and know we will enjoy our affiliation with the White Sox." Lincoln was still waiting Tuesday for a decision on whether or not it would be accepted into the Class Three-I League. Schimmel was given the working agreement by Glen Miller, farm director for the Sox, alter a meeting Tuesday morning with Miller and Jack Sheehan, assistant farm director.

The 3 teams were Vancouver of the Pacific Coast League and Charleston, W.Va and Wichita of the American Assn. For the first time in many years--if ever--two men who were on major league rosters when the draft started dipped to the minors and rebounded to the big time all in a minute or two. When Milwaukee selected outfielder Jim Pisoni from Richmond (he hit .313 at Denver), the Braves were over the 40-man limit. They had to cut a man so they I ticketed first baseman Earl iHersh to Wichita. Detroit promptly picked up Hersh, putting the Tigers one over the limit.

So they transferred Lou Skizas to Charleston. Almost immediately, Ski- zas was drafted by the White Sox, who also took Claude Raymond, a i t-handed pitcher, from Wichita. Glenn (Rocky) Nelson, who has played with 5 different major league teams, some oi them more than twice, came up for another look Pittsburgh drafted his contract from Toronto after noting that he led the International League in most batting categories. St. Louis picked up i Luebke, a likely looking left- handed pitcher who was at San Antonio last season but was on the Vancouver list.

The Cards also dug into Vancouver for outfielder Joe Durham, a former Baltimore Oriole. The Phillies, with first pick, took Johnny O'Brien, one of the Seattle basketball twins who were paid a big bonus by Branch Rickey to sign with Pittsburgh a few years back. Johnny had been traded to St. Louis last summer and shipped out to Rochester from which the Phils drafted him. Kansas City wound up with Wayne Terwilhger, a second baseman who had been with various teams.

He was picked from Charleston after being voted the most valuable player in the American Assn. The Chicago Cubs also went for a veteran in Art Cecarelli, a left-handed pitcher who has seen service with various teams. He played with Vancouver last season but was drafted from Phoenix, the San Francisco Giants' farm in the Pacific Coast League. From Buffalo, Cleveland selected Dale Bennetch, an outfielder who played i Williamsport, last season. The Indians also picked Ray Webster, a 21-year-old shortstop who was a .244 hitter at Sacramento.
