Iff tl '111 Thursday ANGLE IN THE BASEBALL BOW. MOM BLOOD ON BASEBALL DON PITCHER KILROY. By O'Loughlin. There is more trouble in Minneapolis baseball affairs. This time it is Orville Kilroy, one of the best pitchers of last season, who is attempting to make his getaway, and indications point to his success.

When Kilroy signed last season, he was given non-reserve contract, under the conditions of which he was to be at liberty to go where he chose at the end of the season of 1906. Despite this fact, some one placed him on the Minneapolis reserve list after the original list had been forwarded, and an effort will probably be made to hold him tinder the bondage rules of the "na- tional Kilroy has taken up the affair with Secretary Farrell of the Association of Minor leagues and will make a hot fight for his liberty.

Kilroy has just left St. Barnabas hospital, after an operatidn for appendicitis.

The struggle of-these riders has made them favorites with the public, and their every effort out of the ordinary is heartily cheered. The foreign teams are displaying surprising strength'. They have practically set the pace thruout the week. At daybreak from 6,000 to 8,000 spectators remained in the Garden cheering the riders on to renewed efforts. One of the worst spills of the race occurred at 7:25 a.m.

Ten of the thirteen riders went down in a smashup. The spill came after a mad sprint in which was prominent. Eddie Eoot was. picking up his partner, Fogler, when the latter's wheel was run into by Matt Downey. There was a crash and the thousands of people who had remained in the'Garden during the night saw twelve of the riders scattered over the track.

The police and spectators jumped on the track and helped to pick up the fallen and stunned riders. Vannoni of the French-Italian team was thrown over the protecting fence into one of the boxes. He sustained painful injuries, including a gash on his thigh, and Hollister of the Salt Lake City team was said to be suffering from a possible fracture of the skull.

FOSTER IS THRU WITH NEBRASKA Disastrous- Season Catises a Change in the Coaching Staff.

COACH FOSTER. Speoial to The Journal. Lincoln, Dec. 13.The athletic authorities of the University of Nebraska are in the market for a football coach, their desires being inspired by the retirement of Amos P. -Foster.

Foster steps down at Nebraska as a result of a flattering offer to enter the law practice with a Cincinnati firm. He was elected coach of athletics for the full year at Nebraska and asked to be relieved, of his duties for fche remainder of the year, with a tentative understanding that the resignation should not operate against him in his desire, to return next fall and resume his place as football coach. The athletic board, however, was not disposed to approve this plan, and Foster, accordingly, extended the scope of his request until it became a resignation, on which basis it was accepted by the Nebraska authorities. In accepting the resignation, the board allowed him salary only lacking $100 of the amount for the full year. Following Foster's decision, the Nebraska authorities lost no time in the institution of negotiations, looking to the choice of a new coach.

Dr. James T. Lees, dhairman of the board, is conducting the correspondence, and is already in, touch with several possible candidates for the place. The gossip at Nebraska points to the likely consideration as Foster's successor of several well-known coaches who have already won their spurs. In this list are "King" Cole, coach at Virginia university er of Syracuse university: Dan McGuigan of and Herrnstein of Ohio state university.

All of this quartet were applicants a year ago for the Nebraska coachship and each has just closed a successful coaching season. Coincidentally, all of these men are former pupils of Yost at Michigan and the selection of one of this four would occasion no serious surprise in Nebraska athletic circles. Nebraska, in any event, is in the market for a thoroly competent football instructor and the athletic board will spare no reasonable expense in the achievement of that desire.
