following arc the names of the
Playing Managers who will try to
land a pennant in the Western League
this year:
Lincoln, Jimmy Sullivan,
Omaha, Jack Hendricks,
Des moines, George Davis,
Sioux City, Babe Towne,
Wicheta, Frank label,
St. Joe, Jack Holland,
Topeka, Dick Colley,
Probably never in the history of the
Western League has there been such
an array of talent as playing managers
Some of them have had some exper
ience in that line before Fox
Holland and Cooley. But with the
exception of a few weeks last season
when Mr. Sullivan had charge of the
former Links, the rest of them come
into the game with the added respon
sibility of manager upon their
shoulders. In some instances this
is a handicap to the playing success
fully of a good man. But whether it
will interfere with the good work
of these men will be better shown
after the season opens anil advances
All of them ought to make good for
they are good solid men, and what is
a great help arc popular with the
public. The western league this
year ought to take a place with the
very highest as a successful and fast
league.
The New Orleans correspondent
to the Chicago Uecord-IIerald seems
to think that Billy Davidson, late of
the Lincoln team, has a lead pipe
chance to hold on to the left field
job with the Chicago Cubs. One
thing is sure and that is if Chance
gives Davy the right kind of a show
he will make the old fellows hustle
to hold their jobs. Such players as
Davidson are not to be found every
day.
Every town in the new Nebraska
state league seems to be rustling in
good shape to make the new league
a success. The president will have
plenty of trouble getting the league
to going good and it is certainly a
good thing to see every management
in the league working for its success.
It means a whole lot to the president
to have behind him a set of managers
who are alive and are not afraid
to rustle. It means success.
The "Mink" league ought to be
one cf the liveliest leagues of that
class in the west. It was a circuit
of good towns ami no long jumps.
It is the long jumps which cut into the
gate receipts ami with' that unde
sirable factor out of the proposition
the "Mink" league ought to make
good.
X
The game at Porkers Park ytster
day resulted in a complete shutout
of the Eaters chili by the following
score: Hog 10:5,", Eaters 0. Saw
dust sandw itches were sold in the
grand stand.
X
The straw vote taken by one of
the papers of Lincoln on the question
of allowing Sunday ball at Capital
Beech, a pleasure resort about two
miles west of the city, out of a total
of something like 2,500 votes cast
only about fifty were against theprop
osition. X
Fremont of the state league is on
a hunt for a manager for their team.
They have one or two in view, but
since all hopes of landing Shea have
mssed they are considerably up m
the air. Sioux City sold Shea to St.
Joe. And by the way George Johnson
the Indian pitcher which Lincoln
sold Sioux City goes to St. Joe with
Shea.
X
Scotty Dye, a Lincoln boy who
ins hail a bad attack of base all
fever for several years ami each
season has taken out a team of players
or a tour of the state, has signed
up with Clarinda Iowa, in the Mink
eague. Scotty is a good player
and ought to make good. He was
i successful manager of the teams
ic took out over the state.and some
day we expect to see him managing
a team in a larger league. He has
the goods and would make a success
as a manager.
X
George Harms, a well known Neb
raska player will manage the Has
tings team in the Ncbruska state
league this season. He has made a
bid for such surplus players as the
Lincoln Antelopes may not use, and
there is going to be some good ones
too.
X
To some it looks considerably like
a joke to see Pueblo, which has just
lost its franshise in the Western
League for the reason that the town
would not support a club, making a
bid for the Des Moines franchise.
Just the same there is nothing strange.
As has been the case in many other
things,"you never miss the water
ti.l tiic well runs dry, and it is pot-
sible that the Pueblo people now see
their mistake and would patronize
a winning team such as Owner Hig
gins would take to Little Pittsburg.
One thing is sure and that is thut
the DtsMoines franchise is in dangir.
John Higgins will not stand this
year the deal which was given him
last, and unless things change the
Des Moines fans may wake up some
morning ami find their ball team
minus quantity. There is not another
town half the size of the Iowa capital
but what would have filled the stands
to overflowing with such a team to
represent them as Higgins gave them
last year.

Lights Were Broken.
Well, the gas men have their troubles
too, and it was caused last night by
somcbidy's disposition to break things
up. One of the company's lights at
Seventh and Vine stre'ets was found
to be in a battered condition result
ing fronm the sudden meeting with a
vagon hub, which had shattered the
glass and damaged the burner to some
exiu.t. A man was sent to the spot
and the light was repaired, but the
man had hardly returned to the shop
before it was reported to have met
with another smash up of the same
character. And still some would like
to be the gas man.
Good Road Work.
It is a pleasant thing to note the ex

Mynard where Itoad Supervisor, Mike

form of his road drag. Mr. Rutz
is certainly to be congratulated on
the fine work that he has been doing
on the country roade in that section,
which really makes driving around
there a matter of enjoyment. It
would be we 11 if some of the road men
would inspect these model stretches,
and get the secrets of his successful
methods.
