Magnates of tho Western lenguc will meet
In Omaha within the course of n very short
tlmo to put tho finishing touches on their
plans for tho coming season. Now that' the
circuit problem has been disposed of there
remains nothing of particular linportnuce to
bo attended to. It Is a certainty now that
Denver will bo In tLc league next season
nd this decision has put an effectual
quietus on all discussion of tho possibility
or probability of I.ouIrvIIIo and Indian
npolls fcottltitf n foothold In tho Western
league. They will bo left to the proposed
American association and there Is no gain
saying tho wisdom dlsplnycd by tho mag
nates of the Western league In turning a
deaf ear lo tho siren song of too much ex
pansion, Tho taking In of Kansas City. Minneapolis
snd St. Paul Is quite' enough for ono year
and If the samo measure of surecjs whlrU
characterized tho revival of base ball In the
west last year attends tho more pretentious
league tho coming reason thcra will then
be plonty of tlmo in tho future for even
furthe. expansion. There Is yet ono knot
In tho circuit question and It will have to
bo untied at the coming meeting of the
league. At present there uro nluo cities In
cluded In the membership of tho league,
whllo tho charter calls for but eight. ICIght
of theso cities have franchises. Tho one
without n franchise is Sioux City, but this
fact does not necessarily Imply that Sioux
City Is tho onu to bo loft out In tho cold.
A franchlso from somo other elty could bo
transferred there. As the situation now
stands, however, tho rlty to be dropped will
bo either Sioux City or I'uoblo, with the
chances favoring tho lopping oft of Sioux
City.
I'ucblo'fl location favors Its retention l:i
tho league. Tho long Jump to Denver Is
lightened considerably by .reason of Pueblo
being so adjacent that ono rallrond Journey
brings tho teams to tho thresholds of both
Cities. With Denver nlono nway off to the
west of tho other cities In tho league the
making of a satisfactory schedule would
wellnlgh exhaust tho constriictlvo genius of
Papa 11111 Hourko or "Whlto Wings" Tc
beau. b'rom n standpoint' of p.itronngo
I'uoblo and Sioux City nro about on n parity
and because of this fact tho retention of
tho Colorado smelting town and tho lopping
olf of tho Corn Pnlnco city Is almost a cer
talnty.
With tho circuit question settled tho mag
nates will devoto themselves to tho con
sideration of routluo business mutters. Tho
playing schcditlo will havo to bo arranged
and questions token up relative ' to tho
league's attitude in tho baso ball tanglo
which bccms likely to eventuate becauso
of tho unfriendly relations between tho
National and American leagues. "While our
leaguo Is under tho protection of ti:o Na
tional agreement,'" said President Keith
of tho Omaha club, "It is my opinion that
the members of tho organization will favor
a ncUtral ground. We do not wunt to be
como embroiled, in any conflict with- the
American leaguo nor with Its offspring, the
American association. In cuso It lives to
scb tho light of day. Iiccausc of this, caro
will havo to bo exercised in tho securing
of players In order that no action may bo
taken that will bo offensive to Han John
son and his compatriots. "
staff and Phil will likely make good with
Omaha the coming season.
Work on Improvement of tho Omaha
grounds will begin In a very short time,
and the Vinton street reservation will
hardly lie recognized nhon the fans turn
out to welcome the base ball glndlatoM with
the opening of tho season. Tho wbolo dia
mond will be graded down so that the en
tiro field, In and out, will be as smooth as
a parlor floor. The embankment surround
ing the Interior of tho fence will bo cut
down and tho earth distributed In right
field, leveling it up with the balance of the
field. Extensive repairs will bo made on
the grandstand. All of the seats will be
provided wlih backs and every comfort of
spectators will bo carefully looked after.
Manager Ilunky lllncs will havo about tho
some team next season as tho one ho piloted
through last year and came within a dozen
points of winning the pennant. Drain will
not be on third base, but will probably con
tlnuo with Comlskcy's aggregation and
Jako Welmer will do part of the twirling
for Oeorgo Tcbcau's Kansas City team,
llcbsamcn will contlnuo to cover tho Initial
bag. Speaking of llcbsamcn calls to tnlnd
a high compliment paid the tall, lanky
fellow by President Koith ono day last
week. "Itch" ho said, "was one of the
natural born hitters In tho leaguo last year.
He had tho balanco of tho boys over a
barrel according to my thinking. If It
hadn't been for tho unpleasant way Heb
was treated by somo of tho disturbers In
our team last year ho would havo staid with
us the season through and his splendid work
would have been counted for us Instead
of Dcs Moines." Des Moines' pitching staff
will Include from last year Glade, McFar
land, Pollchow, Qlendon and Warrondon.
Oeorgo Lennon, who will furnish baseball
for tho St. Paul fans this season, starts out
his career In a mighty promising manner.
When I.cnnon engaged Perry Werdcn to
manngo his loam ho said: "I am In baso ball
as n business and I propose to glvo St.
Paul a pchnnnt-wlnnlng team If possible.
Sign your players within our salary limit
nnd count on my backing you up with all
the monoy you require. Hut thero Is one
thing I Insist upon. Don't havo any lush
ors on my pay roll. If you find that one or
more of your inon ore drinking, rclcaso them
and engage others. I am going to rent an of
flco for you when tho season begins nnd I
warn you to notify your players that I
don't wont them to como around my storo.
In others words, you will manage the team
nnd I will hold you responsible for tho re
EiiltH, whether good or bad. I don't Intond
to lnterforo with you nnd I certainly will
not entertain any complaints from players."
In harmony with tho spirit of theso In
structions, Werdcn says: "I have a flvo-year
contract with Mr. Lcnnon and I am going
to Ilvo up to my end of it. If I catch a
player boozing I'll flro him If I have to
put a uniform on the bat boy until I can
1111 his place. Maybo it won't bo n wise guy
that wilt be nblo to fool mo. I havo been
down tho lino myself and I guess I worked
all tho schemes that they can try on me."

YVecU.
Undiminished enthusiasm continues to
characterize tho contest being waged by the
teams belonging to tho Omaha Bowling
league. Tho Clarksons have proven them
selves well-nigh invincible, but there Is by
no means reason for discouragement on the
part of the other league teams, and mem
bers of other clubs confidently assort that
the Clarksons may yet have their fine
feathers clipped before tho conclusion of
tho race. Twenty-eight moro names are lo
bo played, and a streak of bad luck on the
part of the Clarksons and corresponding
good fortune for ono of tho other teams
might chango tho complexion of things.
At present tho greatest Interest centers
In tho lively scramblo for second placo be
tween tho Om.ihas and tho Gate Oltys.
Theso tcamb aro scheduled to wage battle
with each other at Clark's alleys Monday
night, and much Interest Is manifested In
tho contest. -In case tho Gate Cltys win tho
strugglo they will bo tied with tho Omahas
for second place. Conservative opinion,
howovcr, tends to anticipate a victory for
tho Omahas. Tho alleys to be used aro the
ones with which the Omahans arc more fa
miliar, and that fact counts tor a great
deal, Tho Gato Cltys, notwithstanding this
handicap, aro going Into the gamo prepared
to win, and a rattling good contest Is sure
to bo tho result.

"Our pitching staff for this season will

dent Keith laBt nlcht. "Coons, Ho.ach,

nblllty hs a pitcher while covering the slab
for tho State bnlverslty team at Lincoln
and has tho earmarks of a cracking good
pitcher. 'Dusty' Coons, 'Skel' Hoach and
Kreeland can't bo beat for good, steady, ro
llnblo work, and with proper support Harry
Nowmeyer will prove himself tho best
southpaw lu tho business. Nowmeyer was
never nblo to do his best work because ho
was never encouraged ns ho should havo

needs n wise hand to guide him when ho Is

Tho annual meeting of tho Central Whist

complishment of thnt purpose. If he frit

not likely to succeed.
"In chess thero nro eight small pawns.
Theso are small In size and apparently
small In value. The Inexperienced player
Is apt to uudcirstlmnto their Importance.
Pawn playing, however. Is the very soul
of chess. A man who docs not know how
to handle his pawns effectively can never
become a good player. It Is thrilling to
watch n good player as ho pushes his pawns
onward, driving opposition before them, nnd
flnnlly reaching tho queen lino where they
turn the tldo of battle. Hero ngaln we
havo a picture of life. Many n man has In
his keeping somo llltlo talents which should 1
not bo despised. If that llttlo talent Is
pushed forward, If properly supported, If
placed In the very best position, It will
become tho turning point In the battle of
life.
"Another lesson learned Is that experience
combined with study produces tho strong,
successful player. Nothing can tnko the
place of experience. One cannot learn
this beautiful gamo from books alone. Ills
book knowledgo must be supplemented by
prnctlco over tho board. Hut at ilrst ono
must necessarily meet many failures. Ho
learns through his failures. Ho rises on

moro for thoso who spnro the tlmo to dive
into tho subtlo principles of tho game. We
frequently hear a man say ho hasn't time
to play chess. I heard a gcntlemnn toy
that Bomo days ago, who Bpends more time
hunting and fishing lit ono week than tho
nvcrngo player would spend over choss In
bIx months. Tho human mind must havo
somo relaxation, nnd if ono gets that re
laxation In n game of chess ho Is thereby
Improved and strengthened for his other
duties. Benjamin Franklin has written a
clover article on the "Morals of Choss."
Ho points out tho fact that chess playing
develops tho faculties of caution and pru
dence. Other writers havo also advocated
chess as n means of mental discipline. It
certainly teaches a man how to reason. It
certainly develops concentration.
"I wish briefly to sketch another valuo of
chess not often referred to by writers on
this subject: Tho value of chess as a
moans of learning human nature.
"Chess Is nothing moro nor less than an
Intellectual fight. It Is n contest botweon
two brains. It Is this element of chess
that makes tho gamo so surpassingly popu
lar Nothing Is moro attractive to tho
average man than n light. Even a dog fight
or a boxing match will catch and hold the
attention of the public. Now, In chess, It
Is true, thero Is no blood to flow, There
are no human farms hacked or torn by
swords, but tho contest Is In n high Intel
loctual arena. Lot us seo now how wo can
apply this to tho study of human nature.
Llfo Itself Is a struggle. Rvery man who
holds a position of any Importance or re
sponsibility will havo enemies. He has to
meet opposition. He must learn how to
say no. Te art, therefore, of attacking and
tho art of defending, or the nrt of attack
In?; and defending nt tho same time, must
bo practiced by every man. In chess a
promaturo attack ends with slgnnl defeat.
A weak defense Is Immediately taken nd-
vantago of nnd leads to disorganization.
Tho chess board Is a plcturo of life. If wo
could Imagine theso pieces of wood trans
formed into human beings wo would seo
during the progress of the game thnt which
Is going on In tho dally struggle for cx-
stenee.
"Tho player soon learns In chess that It
does not pay to attack prematurely. Ho
loams that It Is best In the long run to
wait until his forces aro well mobilized
nnd securely posted. Ho learns to look
ahead, to form combinations, and he learns
that it pays occasionally to sacrlllco some
piece on tho board In order to gain the
grent object In vlow.
"Now, Ib not thnt a picture of man In
his relation to other men? In whatovor
Bphero of life one may be does It not pay
to prepare 'oneself thoroughly? Does It not
pay sometimes to make a sacrifice of pleas
ure or of money or somo other minor
consideration In order to gain tho main
purpose that ono has In view.
"In chess, too, wo learn that all tho
forces under command should be brought
to bcur upon ono object, that Is the check
mating of tho opponent's king. Sldo plays,
however brilliant and sparkling, aro but a
wnsto of tlmo If they fall to bear upon the
main object In view Here again Is r.
picture of life. The successful man Is the
