There Is more than n remote possibility
that Indianapolis anif Loulsvlllo will tin
bilmltlcd'lDto tlie Western league. Indeed,
tnsc ball affairs havo tnktn such a turn In
tbo past two weeks that It now Bccma
probable that the two cities mentioned will
bo In Thomas Jefferson Mickey's organisa
tion the coming season; A majority of the
magnates of tho league are known to favor
uch an outcome tfnd It Is now up to
Walking of Indianapolis and I'ulllum of
Louisville to make a move.
It these two cHIcb are to have rlass A
base ball this season tho Western leaguo
lono affords tho opportunity. Their only
alternative la to Join tho Intcrstato league,
along with Orand Ilaplds, Dayton, Fort
Wayne, Columbus, Detroit and Mansfield.
Tho Intcrstato league Is a clans 1) organiza
tion nnd tho fans of Louisville and Indian
apolis, used as they am to tho best nrtlclo
of base ball, will hardly bo content with
any such arrangement.
Indianapolis and Louisville, St. Joo and
Kansas City, Omaha and Des Molnctf, St.
I'atil and Minneapolis. What a league that
would bo! Mow H would delight the heart
of tho Omaha fan tn bo able to go down to
tho Vinton street reservation next summer
and see n battlo on the diamond between
tllll Itourke's family and any one of tho
other teams belonging to a circuit such us
that outlined above. It would heein llko
a return to tho Rood old days when tho
Western league was In Its hoydoy.
Tho Western league, after numerous post
ponements nnd adjournments, was called to
meet In St. I'atil last Thursday. Ju3t about
tho tlmo tho magnates wefrc packing their
Krlps mid ready to Hunt out for tho meet
ing a telegram camo from President Hlckoy
announcing nnothcr postponement and set
ting tho date for next Tuesday. In -tho
nbsenci) of n ir.oro plauslblo reason It looks
nu though tho Indlanapolls-Loulsvlllo tues
tlon Is browing nud that therein rests tho
explanation for this change of dato for tho
league's meeting.
As aforomentloned, theso two cities are
In rather n peculiar position. It's tho
Western leaguo or no class A ball one or
tho other, nnd your Uncle Wllllo Watklns
1h not going to pass up his Interests In thu
Ilnoslcr capital without making n de
perato struggle to periictuato llie slnccuro
t hi rli a base ball franchise In that city
means. Uncle Henry I'ulllam Is In Just
about tho same tlx. Down In Loulsvlllo
there Is n vigorous domnnd for base ba'll
and your southern fan Is not going to bo
utlillcd with any league that has In Its
membership vlclungcs In tho remote sec
tions of Indiana or Ohio.
I
With Louisville and Indianapolis In tho
circuit tho Western leaguo would be an
Meal organization. All of tho cities would
bo "grouped In pairs and admirably situ
ated for tho formation of an excellent
iiehedulc. In tho event of their entry
Into tho league tho doom of DenVor would
bo sounded. Tnio enough, a franchise
has been located In Denver, but It could
eaUlly bo transferred. Mr. Packard, who
ownn tho franchise, would undoubtedly be
plnd to dispose of It If 11 reasonablo pur-
ehaso prleo wero offered htm, nnd all of
tho othnr magnates vyould breathe n sigh
of relief to seo the western city lopped off
nnd tho one-Bided circuit evolved Into an
Ideal one.
Tho managers n'ru beginning to II g urn
out what their long Jump to Denver
will bring forth. Much team will have to
make tho trip to Denver three times aud
play each tlmo Ihreo games on tho Denver
ground?. That makes n total of nlno
Karnes 011 tho Denver grounds between tho
local team and cmth other club In the cir
cuit. It Is e.temcly doubtful whether
theso nlno games will produce revenue
enough to pay actual expenses Incurred on
tho trip. Manager Ilourko lintl llgured
that thn three trips to Denver will cost
Mm J2.250. which will Include railroad
trarisportatlon and expenses of tho team
whllo onrouto and .at Denver, as well as
salaries. Last jenr In thu eloven games
played at Denver tho Omaha team did not
get that much money and the Ilourko fam
ily was tho best drawing team that visited
the Colorado capital.
With tho financial status as It Is, tho
members of tho Western league renllio
that Denver Is u whllo elephant nud they
will bo very gad to rU themselves of tho
burden, In caso arrangements ran be per
fected between either Louisville or Indlnn
npolls for tho Denver franchise the rest
will ho easy sailing. There Is sUlr"un un
settled franchise In tho league (he ono
that Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Sioux
City havo been lighting for. Hilly llulen
owns It, but It could easily bo located In
Louisville or Indianapolis, nud llulen either
taken enro of or his Interest bought out
right. That tho situation will resolve Itself Into
atich nn outcome looks more than rea
sonable. Indianapolis and Louisville are
understood to bo knocking at the door of
tho Western league. If Watklns and ,
I'ulllam, respectively the representatives of
baso ball In those cities, arc sincere In
their pr6fesslons. then thero can be no
doubt of tho solution of tho matter. They
cannot reasonably expect to obtain fran
chtses In such an organization ns the West
ern without paying for them, and the ones
to settle with are Packard and Hulcn.
Tackard'Ts said to be not overly pleased I
with the outlook for money, making with !
his franchise located In Denver, and would
not bo averse to consideration of a propo
sition from tho eastern magnates.
Manager Ilourko of tho Omaha club has
always been nn ardent supporter of tho
expansion Idea. Ho faxored tho admission
of Minneapolis, St, Paul and Kansas City
when certain of his counsellors predicted
dire disaster In such a step. No ono doubts
tho wisdom of the course pursued by tho
league officials thus far, and none questions
the success of the coming season In the
face of tho more than flattering outlook.
Now Mr. Ilourko goes on record In favor
of Loulsvtllo and Indianapolis. "I think tbo
prospects for the admission of these two
cities Into tho leaguo arc very bright," he
says. 'Thcrc Is no doubt but' that tho
league would ho strengthened thereby and
tho circuit would certainly bo n better ono
than with a lop-sldcd circuit, such as will
be necessary with Denver as the only .wgat
ern member.
"Tho Influence, of the league would bo
added to fjy tho admission of theso cttles
and tho strength of tho organization from
nn executive standpoint would bo greatly
Increased with Watklns nnd I'ulllam In
managerial positions. Tho circuit would be
on admirable oue, nnd there wouldn't bo a
weak team nor n weak city In tho entire
league. St. Joe and Den Moines aro both
good baso hall towns and will give n good
showing cvon In comparison with tho mor
pretentious cities In tho league. In both
theso cities there Is an abundance of money
behind the clubs and they will bo Iti tho
running at nil stages."
In view of this latest dovelopment tho
meeting of tho league at St. Paul this
week will bo watched with ri great deal
of Interest by base ball enthusiasts tho
country oer. The circuit problem has cor-
talnly ussumed nn Importance "that ' was
little anticipated. Instead of being merely
tho oticsttoir "of settling the eighth fran-
rhlso In Sioux City, Pueblo or Colorado
Springs, It Is 0110 of far greater Import.
Tls matter overshadows all others. Sched
ule, players, reserve lists, claim lists nnd
everything else have been relegated to tho
tear to await their turn nftcr the nll-ab-sorblng
question Ih disposed of.
Tho formation of a schedule has been
simplified by tho enlargement of tho circuit
from six to eight clubs. Knch team will
pluy ISO games, sixty-three at homo nnd
sixty-three abroad. , Omaha, for Instance,
will play eighteen games with each other
club ih the league, nine of them on the
homo grounds and nlno nway from home.
Tho playing season will begin May 1 am.
continue four mouths and a half.
bo graded up to a level with the diamond1
and tho steep grade up nnd down which
Eddie Lauton was wont to cavort Inst
season will giro way to a surface as smooth
as a billiard table. A club house 10x0 feet
will be built under tho grandstand. This
will be for the use of the players. It will
bo provided with lockers, baths nnd toilets
and will be a much-needed Improvement
Tho entrances will also be improved upon
and n second ticket window will be put In
on the Thirteenth street side of the park.
"Tho batter who gets anywhere near .100
with these new rules effective must bo a
crnckerjack." said an old-tlmo fan yester
day. "With the pitcher slamming the ball
over the plate ns fast no ho enn keep going
.Mr. Hatter Isn't going to have much of a
snap. Tnlto theso old stagers, for Instance,
who havo to square themselves around, get
n cerlnln polso and then lay for tho proper
ball they'll bo bo surprised at receiving
the ball over tho pinto once u minute that
they'll go clear up In tho air.
"Hut I do not consider Hint tho now
rules will work n hardship upon any par
ticular player. Tho batter resolves tho ad
vantage of having the catcher right back
of tho plato nil tho tlmo and tho pitcher
will havo the" best of It when tho fouling
off of balls registers up a strike for each
offense, unless there nro two strikes. Out
west hero wo don't seo much of this fooling
off. hut in each of the big lcaguu teams
thero is a certain man who comes near
driving a pitcher crazy becauso of his
ability to foul off ball after ball. Take, for
Instance, Thomas of tho 'Phillies, 'Muggsy'
McOrnw, Koehler of llrooklyn and Mc
Carthy of ChlcagQ. They aro able to mako
a pitcher's life miserable for him whenever
they got up to bat.
"The new rules nro splendid In every
particular. They will ginger up thu game
nnd shorten It. No danger of baso ball
games becoming monotonous or of spec
tators getting tired out and leaving tho
grounds along about tho seventh Inning.
They'll stay to tho finish now nnd won't
havo to miss their dinners, elthor.l'
Tho many friends of J. A. Mcllvalno of
this city will be pleased to lenrn that the
genial "Mac" has been signed to pitch for
Decatur In tho "Three 1" leaguo for the
coming season. Mellrnlne has a wldo ac

That class of prize fighting enthusiasts
who delight in seeing a grueling match
whero thero Is lots of goro and plenty of
action would havo been moro than satiated
by witnessing tho match between Tommy
ltyan and Tommy West nt Louisville Mon
day night. It, is characterized as being
ono of tho most desperate encounters ever
pulled off In the squared circle aud both
men looked as" though .they had been hav
ing nn argument with' n buzz saw when
they came out of tho mill.
Ilynn was the victor. In tho sovontechth
round IVest found himself unable longer to
stand tho punlshmcut meted out to him
nnd Terry McOovcrn, ono of his seconds,
throw up the sponge. Thu fight was cer
tainly not tinged with anything bcnrlng n
semblance of fixing or fnkcry. In tho early
part of tho contest honors were nbout even
and the result was In doubt, but nftcr tho
ninth round Hynr. had everything his' own
way. Ho pounded and pummclcd his nil
versiiry until West, looked lke,ho.had been,
the chief actor In a grand beef-slaughtering
contest. Ilynn Valil after tho battlo was
over that It was ono of the hardest he over
had pint his nppenranco boro out tho truth
of tho statement.
At ono stage of (he struggle West looked
like an easy winner. That was In tho sec
ond round, when h'o sent Ilynn to tho floor
for the full count twice. Hut Ilynn after
ward recuperated nnd West was all In early
In the game. At the end of tho ninth
round both men wero In such condition
that n police rnptaln detailed to watch tho
light called n halt, but his action was
hissed by the crowd and he determined to
let them have their money's worth. And
they certainly got, It. Tho men entered
the ring In fit condition. They had been
In training for several weeks and mot nt
cntch-welghts, both men weighing In at
about 167 pounds.
"Thero won't bo a boozer on the Omaha
team next year," saya Manager Hourke.
"Absolute sobriety Is oue of tho things that
I will demand of my players. A ball player
cannot accomplish his best work when ho
spends his nights In carousal and comes on
tho Held tired out nnd perilous under the
Influence of liquor. So far as I know I
haven't signed n man who Is addicted to
tho habit and If I find out that any of
them aro flirting with tho grape off goes
his head." y
Tho Omaha players will report for duty
April 1 and a month of good, hard practlco
will bo engaged In beforo tho opening of tho
season. Manager Hourke will have a regu
lar routluo mapped out for his players and
beforo the month of April Is finished ho
oxpects to havo every man-Jack of them

Louisville is about tho only city where
tho fighting gamo Is not tabooed. . How
long it will bo permitted to run thero Is
a question. Tho smaller fry have thus

small to offer nny inducements for tho big

It was tho unexpected that happened In
local bowling circles last week. Tho
mighty Clarksons wero mudo to hlto tho
dust of dofeat by ono bf tho ndmlttr'dly
weak tenms of tho city league tho KfiiK
Parks. At Clark's alleys Monday ulght tho
KriiK Parks won two of tho three games
played and tho members of tho victorious
team took ns keen .enjoyment out of their
achievement ns If they had jumped up to
second or third placo In the percentage
column.
In tho closing days of tho league race tho
ono umbltlon of thu tennis that aro sched
uled to meet tho Clnrksons Is to defeat
tho topnotchcrs. The Clnrktons cannot
possibly loso the trophy because not enouKh
games remain yet to bo played to permit
tholr losing first place, but l their por
t'uritngu call bo" lowered, n deal of.gratl
llcatlon will be taken by tho .other clubs
in tho league. The Knlg Parks put tho
first crimp Into tho lenders Momlny night
nnd local bowlers have not yet recovered
from tho surprise tho news occasioned.
Tho members of' tho Clnrkson team were
all decidedly off-color. Ilrunke, Conrad and
Denham bowled about ns badly as they
possibly could and seemed absolutely tin
able to collect themselves nnd get Into
their usual form. Their scores made tho
score sheet resemble tho record of so many
imn'tcuis. Tho Krug Parks, on tho other
hand, bowled In splendid form. None of
them mado particularly hlglj scores, but
I heir bowling) tyus consistent..
In tji 0 jlJ9R y Aly s 'i t was plal;j to tho spec
tators that tho Clarksono were out .of form,
although they won (he first game. Lan
caster made a total score In this gamo
of 203 nud Clnrkson chalked up 203 points.
Theso wero tho only scores In the ncries
that went 200 or better. In tho ilrst game
Crcodon of tho Krug Parks scored 197. The
Clarksons' total score In tho first gamo
wns 81." and tho Krug Parks 839. in tho
second nnd third games the Clarksons went
nil to pieces und tholr opponents, profit
ing by the evident wcnkenlng of the Clnrk
sons, bowled their very best. Tho Krug
Parks, by u coincidence, made tho samo
score lu tho second und third games 809.
Tho Clnrksons Bcorcd 800 in tho second
nnd 790 In tho third. In tho series tho
Clnrksons scored 2,491' and tho Krug Parks
2,157.
The teams participating In this match
consisted of thu regular membership. Tho
Krug Parks wero Conery, Nellscn. Hanson,
Crcodon nnd P. Krug. Tho Clarksons woro
Donman, Urunke, Lancaster, Conrad nnd
Clnrkson.
Only two weeks more remain of Mm
league race, Tomorrow night the Nntlounla
meet 1110 Clnrksons nnd n week later tho
Omahaa will do battlo with tho top-notch-crs..
Members of both tennis lmvn hinn
practicing assiduously during tho last week
alid-hopo to havo tho credit of following the
splendid example sent by tho Krug Parks.
Tho Onto Cltys forged to tho front last
week nnd nro now anchored In third plare,
with the prospc.ctH pretty favorablo for
sticking there.- Nn possibility exists of
shoving tho Clarksons nud the Omnium out
of first nnd second places, respectively, al
though tho end of tho season may Und a
realignment of the percentage columtvso
far as third and fourth places nro con
cerned. Tho Gate Cltys figure, howovpr, that
In tho two games they nro yet to play they
ought to be nhlo to hold their own nnd in
.that case their berth Is secure. Por fourth
placo tho Sterlings and St. Chnrlos nro hit
ting n lively clip, Last.weck tho two teams
wero tied with a percentngo of .184. Tholr
coutcst Thursday night changed tho com
plexion of things nnd leaves thu fit. Charles
ns active candidates for third placo, but by
110 means removes tho excitement which
will attend tho closing games of tho season
In which those rival organizations aro to
participate.
So successful has been tho tournament of
the City Howling league that plans aro nl
ready Incubating for the formation of n
spring league, to begin Immediately after
tho close of tho present season, which ends
Thursday night, March 23. All of the teaniB
belonging to tho present Ieaguu will likely
bo candidates for membership In tho spring
league. If thero shall be a vacancy or nn
Increaso in tho number of club members a
new team which has Just been organized at
tho Ooto City alleys will try for n pine?.
Tho team Is captained by Chnrllo Seaman,
manager of the Oato City alleys, and In
eludes beside him Charles Allen, Ed Ham
mond, Roy Gillespie nnd Henry Lehmer. All
of theso gentlemen nro cxccllout bowier.i
und their club will undoubtedly co'mo to the
front.
Thero Is also considerable d.scunslon about
tho formntlon of it trl-clty lenguo,. with
members from Omnbn, South Omaha and
Council Bluffs. At both South Omaha nnd
tho muffs thero nro, a number of teams
composed of bowlers of rpcognlzed ability
nnd thoy nro anxious to got into a leaguo
with tho Omaha clubs.
It Is unlikely tint there will bo n mid
summer Icngue. Proprietors of the. bowling
alloys expect that thero will bo no flagging
of Interest In bowling during tho summer
months. Thoy bnso this belief on tho fnct
that last summer there wns n great deal
of enthusiasm manifested In tho gnmo and
nt that tlmo bowling Interest was by no
means ns deeply motod as It Is at present.
During tho summer, however, thero will ho
so many other attractions that a schoilulo
would bo Interfered with by reason of tho
absence of members of cortaln of tho tenms.
This would mnko nn unsatisfactory condi
tion of affairs and It Is thought the better
plan ljy prominent bowlers not to uttempt
a midsummer league. After tho sprlns
tournament ends tho balance of tho season
until tho beginning of tho fnll tournament
will be occupied In Indlvldinl work and
diligent practice on tho part of candidates
who hopo to be members In the teams that
enter tho fall nnd winter leagues."
A league which Is lu prospect for tho
