Chiefs Already 'Rejoin 9 Three-I League for 1960 By Dick Becker Q. Schimmel, no stranger to either feast or famine in the professional baseball world, set a Capital City record when he cast the Chiefs' bat into the Three-I League ling for 1960 Wednesday. Through 13 good and bad years, Lincoln has always had to wait until the last minute to know if it was to have a Sherman Field occupant. Not so in 1960. Schimmel and the execu- tive board of the Lincoln Baseball Club have given Hal Totten and the Three-I League notice they intend to be bigger and better next summer.

This normally wouldn't be much of a surprise, except that in this particular case they had already named the pallbearers for the funeral of the Chiefs. Attendance has been poor in this initial year in the Three-I, but Schimmel and friends have found a way to salvage the ship. The 1959 losses, they a will be small. Actually, this will not be Lincoln's poorest year. Already 38,032 fans have attended Sherman Field contests and there are 10 nights remaining.

This attendance already surpasses 1951's total of 37,123 and the 1947 mark of 43,464 should also be bettered. Here, just for fun, are Lin- Labor Night Meant Work, Win for Chiefs With the Chiefs Wednesday Crowd--520 1959 Standing 6th Won 53 Lost 53 Percentage 500 1958 3rd 53 53 .500 Crowd (Home) .38,032 46,429 Crowd (Away) ...52,427 45,634 Crowd (Total) ...90,459 92,063 By Dick Becker Bryant Wasdell got into action for the first time in 3 weeks Wednesday night at Sherman Field. He has been on Lincoln's His arrival on the scene was to replace Al Brice who was having elbow trouble and when he got there it was a signal for the Chiefs to go to work for a 9-6 win over Burlington before 520 fans. It was Lincoln's second straight over the Bees. Tonight the clubs wind up the series and the home stand with a single game.

Ronnie Bloodworth (8-13) will work for the Chiefs against Burlington's Charley Herzberger. The game will start at 8:15. It will be preceded by a game between the Chiefs and large list of ailing pitchers. their wives at 7. Staff Views By Del Black Osborne in Strong Pro Football Bid Tom Osborne, always tough in the clutch as an outstanding high school and college athlete, is fighting a whale of a battle to stick with the San a i sco 49ers.

A i telephone call filled me in on the latest developments in Osborne's bid to become a pro football player. In training the Na- Black tiooal Football League 49ers at Moraga, Osborne had nothing but praise for the pro grid game. "I really enjoy it here," said Tom. -'This game is sure different than college ball. It's just like a game of cat and mouse.

Everything is so quick and clever. It's all business and a fulltime job." Osborne, two-time Lincoln Sunday Journal and Star Athlete of the Year while at Hastings College, is playing offensive left end for the 49ers. He's the only rookie end still with the 49-man squad. The 49ers must cut down to the NFL 35-man player limit by Sept. 27, the day of their first regularly game.

Mea'nwhile, 6 more exhibition games are on tap. One has already been played. They face Green Bay Sunday. Osborne has been running Wednesday was Labor Night at Shermantown and both clubs really had to work. There were 21 walks, 16 hits, 6 wild pitches, 3 hit batsmen.

Wasdell was the most effective hurler of the evening as he recorded his 4th win against as many defeats. It was his first win since July 7. He came on in the 6th after Brice lost control, and the lead, as the Bees took a 5-3 lead. In the last of the 6th the Chiefs broke things open using just one hit, Pug Williamson's single, along with two hit batsmen, 3 walks and 2 wild pitches for 5 runs. Wasdell gave up just one hit and one run as he mastered Ray Mueller's injury and illness-ridden club.

Williamson was the big gun, driving in 4 runs with a pair of singles. Chuck Lehman scored 3 times. Clubhouse Chatter Don Bacon and Gene Martin got a pair of hits each. League president Hal Totten concluded his visit to the Capital City at Wednesday's game. His only comment was, "Here it is August and the pitchers are still having a hard time finding the plate." There was a mixup on Labor Night and over 1.000 tickets for Little Chiefs were unused.

"The i a i a situation here is such that it shouldn't stand in the way of 1960 LINCOLN, NEBRASKA THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1959 Moore Rips Ex-Champ-Eyes Future Page 16, Col. 6 plans," Totten declared. "Lincoln's finances admittedly low because of decreased attendance have been handled very well.

They are in much better shape than could be expected, under the circumstances, and this is to the credit of general a a Roger Bottorff, Schimmel and the board of directors. "Baseball interest in Lincoln certainly is not dead and I can't believe there is true apathy here. Lincoln fans are among the finest I've seen anywhere--enthusiastic, well- informed and clean-cut." Schimmel said the decision to plan for next year was made because the bulk of expenses have already been incurred thir year while considerable money will be forthcoming to the Chiefs. It is this additional revenue that led the group to okay next year's operation. Among this aid will be money from the major league fund, additional payments on the working agreement with the Chicago White Sox, guarantee money which was deposited with the National Association at the start of the year and will be returned, gate receipts and concession sales for the remainder of the year.

"We made our recommendation for two basic reasons," Schimmel explained. "First, we will be able to take care of all our 1959 obligations, and, secondly, the board appreciates the fact that a number of Lincoln fans stuck by the club all year. "We feel they have demonstrated that there is a desire for professional baseball in Lincoln and we owe it to them to continue. We are not in any way mad at Lincolnites who have not visited Sherman Field, but we are deeply appreciative of those who have helped us provide good baseball in Lincoln." North Squad Well For Shrine Game By Bob Mattel Fremont North coach Jerry Lee breathed a little easier Wednesday afternoon as he declared his 27-man squad physically fit for Saturday's Shrine Bowl football game at Omaha. Creighton Prep's Dick Stivers and Laurel's John Haskell, a pair of guards who were sidelined Tuesday, were back in uniform Wednesday! and working out with the squad.

Stivers was jolted by a bump on the head and Haskell suffered a broken blood vessel in his right arm. The squad devoted Wednesday morning and afternoon to dummy drills and returned in the evening to work under the lights. Lee plans another drill under the lights Thursday evening. In a team meeting Wednesday morning, the North Stars i i 1-1 i I xi elected Creighton Prep Carl I and Meyers and Stivers co-cap-1 starting lineups Wednesday. tains of the squad.
