Between 3,000 and 1,000 people who saw
Jim Jeffries umpire nh exhibition gnme be-.
left the Vinton mrcct reservation thoroughly
wrought up. They felt that they had been
"bilked." In the first place they bad seen a
decidedly pcor exhibition of base ball In
which the favorites were defeated by the
l'rolilbs. Kvtn though 11 were an exhibi
tion Rume, not counting In the pennant race,
their wrath was little appeased. The foun
dation for their vexatious spirit existed In
the Job of umpiring that JeffrleH had done.
They were "sore" nt themselves for putting
up ROfid coin Juat to view the ponderous
proportions of a big pug. and that's all they
did see, for .Jeffries merely served ns an
assistant umpire, Hnrry Ilurrell doing the
bulk of tbo work. They figured that they
would see tho man who whipped Pltzslm
monn. Shaikey and Corbctt In a year's time
go through the contortions usually expected
from an umpire, llesldta this they wire led
to believe that Jeffries would do a little
sparring with some of his side partners, ex

feoureo of much disappointment to tho
students of the University of Nebraska, not
withstanding tho fact that the Nebraska
team succeeded in capturing one third place.
Tho Interest of the Nebraska students
In the daahes nnd It was con
fidently expected that one of these races
would be won by n Nebraska cnan. The
Nebratkana were severely handicapped In
point of numbers, whloh probably accounts
I for their Ill-success on the Held.

Impossible. .Moreover, he Is apt to become
disgusted with his weary tramp over ground
beset with difficulties which, to his un
skilled hand, seem almost Insurmountable
anil to vote the whole thing a bore.
"The novice Is usually Rmazed when con
fronted with the variety and complexity of

As u result of this llasco the games sub
seiijicjit to Monday have been played to
empty benches, for many there have been
who charged tho affair up to l'lesldent Keith
of tho Omaha club. The latter, however,
udicmently protests that he Is In no way
responsible.
The Omaha players have been giving a
pood .iccouul of thcmselvtH during the last
week, nil the defeats they hmo suffered
being attributable solely to tho crippled
condition of the team. That Omaha has
the best team In the league thcro can bo no
gainsaying, at least at this stage of the
trouble. With Hill Wilson Buffering with a
gumo leg, which has largely Interfere' 1

Andreson Is considered by athletic
authorities to be one of the fastest sprinters
In the west and bis records bear out thb
oplnl n. At tho Nebraska university he and
his brother, Wilbur Andreson, have been
foremost In field athletics for several years
and the organization of the first Nebraska
track team was duo to their energy uml
enthusiasm. On account of the poor financial
support accorded the Held and track athletes
the university was able to send only three
men to Chicago, while nil tho other uni
versities that competed in the contests were:
I represented by at least three times that
! number.
Tho work of Drew with the hamoicr and
I the discus met with favorable comment, nnd
I but for an accident fie would have captured a
I second place In one of tho events. Albert
I'law of California, who won the hammer
throw, said that with n third turn Hrew
could throw tho hammer as far as any man
In the country.
As n whole tho contest was one of the
closest nnd most Fcnsntlcnal ever held In
tho country. Michigan's sturdy athletes

pionship by tho narrow record of a halt-
point. .Chicago finished a clcao second, with
the athletes of the Pacific coast only n half-
point In the rear. During the afternoon
each of tho three strongest competitors took
the lead until the final outcome was beyond
speculation. Chicago nnd Michigan of course
were the most evenly matched rivals, al
though Cullfornla threatened on several
occasions to carry the championship to the
Pacific coast, whero it went in 1893.
Tho records were far and nway. the be3t
ever attained In any western meet. Two
western marks were surpassed by tho Call-

"Nothing bars a man's progress so much
as the constnnt changing from one Imple
ment to another, without ever learning the
right U3e of any. Driving Is one of the most
difficult arts' of tho game and nothing hut
unremitting- practice can give the mnchlnc
llko swing that Is necessary for u successful
use of tho stroke. The mere fnct that pre
vious expcrlenco in other athletic sports
gives the player a certain dexterity is apt
to make hkn content with slipshod methods
that too easily become fixed habits of form.
For this reason. If for no other, it Is well
to purchase a few clubs and get to tho work
lcnrnlnR how to drive. The thing looks so
simple that novices especially are loath to
Bpcnd tho time necessary to acquire the cor
red principles. "

friends of tho members having moro tlmu

In tho afternoon by a score or more of tho
club members proper.
Tho members who havo been moat nc
