very best article of the game Is expected and I
I Is the strength of the new material that
yet remains anywise problematical. The last L
year's record made by all these men , how
ever , Is exceedingly encouraging and under
the intelligent tutelage of Joe Walsh and D\e
Rowe It Is but natural to expect the do .
velopment of nothing short of a high degree
of efcieny on the part of most of these
I may be that Omaha wl bo BO fortunate

Blnce those days , at one time or another , have
lerched upon the topmost rung of base hal II
fame , and I Is said that history never hal
to repeat Itself. The new men Captain
Walsh has secured to assist him In battlin g
batting
for the coveted pennant were the cream of
the various ranks In which they fgUred durIng -
Ing the past season , and there Is good
reason to believe that , In a measure , they
wilt plug up many of the holes that existed
In the team last year. Fans should not be
too sanguine , however , but at the same time
they may rest assured that Captain Walsh
wilt get the best work possible out of the
new recruits , as well as out of the older
players. " "

In order that the local fans
may once more have the

up the team that will represent them on the I
fold of acton this year the personnel Is once
more given. On the pitchers' slab will be I
seen John Eagan , George Carrlsh , Louis NapOleon -
pOleon Dalsz , Joe Hussle , Frank , Donnely
and George Darby , an even half dozen. In
this batch are two or three weU known me fl .
notably Darby , Donnely and Carrlsh , and . It
V Is but reafonable to expect that auf of the
other three at least one capable man v ill
be ( level ope. Eagan Is a St. Louis boy ,
who has cut a prominent figure over there
during the past two years In amateur Cl Ic-
cles. He was signed by Manager Rowe on
the recommendation of Long John Healy , the
. Egyptian. Ho Is said to have wonderful
speed . good control of the bal all the
J.stamina . necessary to go the route at least
every other day. Joe Hussle comes from
Kansas City , and Is said to be the double of
New York's famous twirler. He Is highly
spoken of by no less a personage than Ralph
Stout , 1 , local magnate of blessed memory ,
now the efficIent cIty editor of the Kansas

stands six feet one In his stocking feet , when

himself with any special eclat. he has been

' the last winter and Manager McVlte , who
V Is nothing when not sanguIne declare he
will shine with the brightest of the big
luminaries In the association. For ba ch-
stops there Is Rust Pace , a bIg Californi an .
who Is saId to be a second Chancy Dennet
behind the plate , and a hitter from the Vi 217
center of the city of Itersvle , and ver .
Wlalen , from the high altitude lands of
V
Montana. Whalen Is unquestionably a good
one , a fact amply proven by his record. He
throws like a shot and as unerringly as a
sharp shooter , stops everything that comes
wIthin a half dozen yards of him and hits I
up among the three hundred boys. So far
thes are the catchers signed , but Rowe Is
still negotiating with one or two good men ,
wih a fair prospect of securing at least one
of them. On frst will be Eddie Hutcblnson ,
& or "Old Hutch " as he was facetiously dub boil
, ' _ by the bleachers last tall. That ho will not

for base bal In Jacksonville durIng the I

more so than they have ever been befc ire .
The citizens ot the town have determined
that they will support base bal In spite of

for various sums ot money for this fund. lst
new park has been arranged near where the
old park was and Is abut 700 feet squ tro.
This vill be provIded with two

and bleachers and will be capable of acke
commodatng' ' largo crowds Jacksonville will
not allow Sunday games to be played In the

Whereby all Sunday schedule game will be
played at Springfield . and the probabili ties
are that our Sunday attendance will be
larger than any other In the wi Ion .

gopd batters and the majority of them have
hattng averages above the 400 mark ; they
also have splendid

via Council Bluffs to Gienwooml. Leving
Omaha , he crosses the Douglas street wagon

he follows the dirt road running parallel with

becme almost unrldeablo within the last
year or so , on account of the holes and ruts
causetl by heavy traffic. Following this road
straight cast he arrives at Daylss park ] ,
Counci Bluffs. Here turning south for a few
blo cks . then east , to the tot of the Bluffs , he I
fin ds himself al the main road leading past :
the Deaf and Dumb institute : straight on for
a couple of miles he comes to a fork In lle I
road , followIng the one whIch turns to the
right , he spins along the foot ot high bluls
covered In the summer with wild flowers and
grases of all kinds , from which the gent Ic
breezes carry a delicious odor to him. So t
far he has traveled about eleven miles , and
has encountered but few small hilts. Now Ito
approaches some quite steep ones coming to
where the road forks , he fellows the ono
to his left , and after about two miles' rIde .
he arrives at Ole top of the bluffs . along.

a pretty sight greets his eye , the scenery
Is beautiful. He looks down over the green
fie lds and sees the "Big Muddy" wInding I its .
way toward the gulf . He Is now opposite' '

CLAHICS , Neb. , March 27-To the SportIng -
Ing Editor of The Dee : More sportsmen Srmoni'e
for the first time been disappointed In their
spring shootng of ducks and geese this ycar :
than ever berore. Not a single good "ku "
"ki"
has been made on the Plate In this vicini
during the sprIng fight this year and already
the birds have entirely deserted the Plate.
Colonel Richmond , Captain Hoyt and other
local l sportsmen made extensive lwepanatio :
preparatons
as early as March 1 to entertain visltii
hunters and slaughter the wid fowl on their
usual favorite roosts on the Platte. No feed
In the fields and no water In the creeks and
canyons , together with the fact that the river
was early lined wih tents and doted over
wIt h blinds , caused the wild fowl to move on m
to better and more peaceful feeding ground , .
The recpton of the goose or duck un-
fortunate enough to bend Its fight along the
course of the historic Plate might well be 1
compared to that tendered the federal gu U-
beats when they tried to run by the batten ea
at VIcksburg. Ten camps , equipped with
about twenty-five blinds , were located on i
the Plate wIthIn eight miles , traveling cast
from Carks , so that you wi readily understand -
stand that It would be Indeed a weary amI :
thirsty fowl that would dare venture to rest
on the bars or sip of the waters of the Platte
In that vichmmity. Of course some of the
campers were out for fun and necreati on
recreaton
and the shooting was only the nominal ebb ct.
One party of five I observed occupying u
bli nd . In which they bad a large jug , which
{ suppose contained theIr ammunition , and
they were enjoyIng a social game of cards ,
occasionaly dropping a poor hand to take ni
shot
nt some sky-scraping geese or mora
frequenty at the jug.
A quart flask was found by Joe Wells , near
Columbus , containing the following mcssage : :
ON TIE PLATTE RIVER , East of Carks ,
Marcb , 22 , 1895.-To the finder of this leter :
I am alone , abandoned on a sandbar In the I
Platte , surrounded by three feet of swif ;
running water , which glides over ten feet of
quick santi. I wlsb that I had one of Sandy
Griswold's articles on the beautes of nature ,
as they are presented during a spring shoot.
The sky some way fails to reveal the beautes : ;
he so vividly represents and the cloud torr 'ma- '
tons have been overlooked ; the cry of the
alarmed wild fowl Is not properly adjusted
to the music of the wInd and wave. Already :
{ feel the exhiaratng and elevating tnf enc
of my surroundings , In every joint and m
si new. Sandy , I have been victimized by
ycur poetIc imagination. Yet , perhaps , If I I
had at hand one of those articles It might
deceIve me again and reconcile me to my sad
fa te. Nature Is beautiful In her place but
hereafer she can have her place and I Ii
Il
take Goodie Drucker's for mine. Defer I
start out again for 1 goose hunt , should I
escape alive this time , I will take a Ii ( tie
proper training , by pushing a loaded hand :
cart across the Saham. Save my life by
replenishing this fasl < ! 1
Drop It Into the north channel of the Plate
from the Clarks bridge. Don't drop It In
unti after dark , I shall look out for it. Put
a floater on I. Hopefully ,

the festive feathered fowl has come and gone ,
and by this I refer to geee and ducl < s. Their
sojourn here was briefer this year than any
formcr season known , 10 I am told by the
suprannuated local sports , men who once
enjoye hunting , but are to old now to par-
ti cipata. Game generally tarried here quite
a while , the surrounding country affording
good foraging ali the Cheyenne bottoms cx-
c eilent trysting grounds for them These bottoms -
toms t arC sixteen miles long and seven miles
wide , Including mora territory than J at first
supposed , As plentiful as I bave seen game
there , huntng Is not as satisfactory as J
have experienced In the northwest If bag
alone Is considerEd , but It Is more exciting
and replete with amusing Incidents. excitng
most successful and at Limo same time enjoy-
able method Is for a party of two , with a
Igbt l buggy and gentle team , but one that Is
trainEd to the sport and when necessary can
run a lightning gait , to "mosey" around time
b ottommi. The driver , whim the lines over his
lef l arm and his gun ready for acton , guides
the team until we are wihin shootng dis-
( once. After the ( frt shot the team will
stampede and felow the game and all you
have h to do Is to pump It Into them. I you
are fortunately ont on a windy day and successful -
cessful In driving the game against time wind
b y working thIs strategy you can oren get
right under thermm I durIng the ehasl you
run Into a chuck hole and Ire unceremoniously -
monlously dumped In a heap Into a pool of
water , this ( adds zest to the sport , providing
you nor the horses are hurt , Last Saturday
M. George Mrthal and myself rode over
there for a couple of hours' bunt and a more
oxhlaratng time I never have had As we
care to the blur overlooking the expansive
valley , here and there we could leo bunches
of whie brant scatterell promiscuously with
wih

consumed a little time chasing a large dir-
ablel Canada , but his wings were all rIght
and he eluded us , A flock of whIte brant lit
a quarter of a mile from us and to them we
started Allowing the team to saunter along
slowly and keeping our guns out of sIght

Ing nearer all limo time. I whispered to
George to taco team to game but they
were on to the trick and Immolutely
arose. Tht horse knew their business and
the race commenced , wo firing as they ran-
only a bag of four , we simoull have killed a
dozen , as there were 600 or 800 in the flock ,
Don you believe in time charmed life of s
wimite goose ? We poured four loads into one ,
apparently filling It si'itb lead , but it comm.
teinptuoualy sailed away , About dusk , on ow

swan on time west lake , and suclm it prov4 tc

t imat time necessity for time partial reconstruc-
( ion arose from amiy absolute sm'mimit of repair V V
It I n tlmo ancient structure itself , but was duo
t o thin nosy conditions to which ( ho brIdge
was subjected in consequence of tIme works
u ndertaken in connection with time immiprove-
m acnt of the Ittver Tiber. These included
t ime better regulation of the coumrsn of time
r iver , a widening of time chiannel and a rais-
i ng of both banks. TIme result was that at V
0l mb end the mipproachi to time brIdge was be-
l ow tIme level of time newly raised bank. V
Onlginahiy the structure consisted of thmreo
principal arches of fifty-aix feet span each
a nd three ammiahier once of twelve feet , The
l atter were for the purpose of nllowlimg for V
t he passage of floods , and have. how been replaced -
placed by a pair of arcimes of the came span
as that of timoso first built , wimlcim brings the
roadway of time bridge almost on a level. The
structure as it now stands line flye elegant
and symmetrical arches or equal span.V In V
lnct , it It were not for the difference In tlnh
of time old and Var masonry , it would be
almost Impossible to distinguish the handl-
work of today froni timat of nearly 1,800 years
ago. . -
