A combination of unfortunate circum stances has hail mucli tu do In landing Omaha cloie to tlio bottom o( the per cent sro column In tho Western league this early In tho season. First and foremom has been tho, hunt luck which two of tho best players lu tho club unvc bnd. Lauzon nnd McAndrows, two of tho tjc.it fielders nnd unquestionably two of tho best hit tera on tho team, arc and uavo been laid up for repairs. Their absenco from tho team lias cott Oraah.i several gntnea. Thero la not tho slightest doubt but that tho Omahoa would lmvo won nlno out of tho twclvo i;n;ncs played away from home on tho Initial trip to tho went and south If It hadn't been for tho unfortunnto acci dent which put Lauzon on tho bench before tho team had gotten fairly started lu Den vor. And with ulthcr McAndrcws or I.atlzon In tho Kumo It Is a certainty that the rec ord of Karnes played ut homo would show more, favorably for tho locals. Another visitation ot the Nemesis was when President Kaurko signed one Roust ns a pitcher. Rcust wan certainly a falso nlarm. Two games ho pitched, both ugalurt Kansas City, and tho Mlsaourlans inado Mr. Roust look llko thirty cents. He was traveling under false pretenses when hu claimed to be a pitcher. rado.m are .down cloao to the bottom ot tho percentage column. This fact shows conclusively tho supcr'or material which had been brought Into the league by all of the other teams. The Western league thl J season Ij a different organization from tljo ono that occupied tho field of action last year, especially In tho grade of players connected with t'uo various clubs. W-Kt-ll (.

Tho genuine enthusiasm which prevails In this city and thn splendid patronago nccorded tho game warrants tho assertion on his part' that ho will glvo this city a team of which he may bo proud If ho spends every dollar ho has on enrth and Is compelled to chango tho present personnel of tho team entirely. Of courso, Buch a contingency as tho latter in entirely beyond tho pnlo of likelihood. With ono or two changes tho Omaha team Is as strong as any In tho league. Just 'what theso changes will bo or should be l'resldcnt Ilourko has not determined lu his own mind. When McAndrcws gets buck Into tho gatno nnd tho team begins to run nlong on Its regular schedule It will bo an easier matter to apply tho pruning knife to tho proper spots. "Dusty" CoonB has pitched himself Into high favor with tbo Omaha fans. The shutout ho ndmtnlstercd St. Joo nnd the victory ho won from Kansas City wore both well earned and tho responsibility rested largely wl h him. Coons 1b easily tho star of tho Omaha pitching start so far. Herman, Froeland ami Graham are nil doing good work and tho three aro as good, perhaps, nB any thrco that might bo selected from any other club In tho league. Gordon gives promise of developing Into a star. Ilecauso of tho lad's youth and lnoxperlenco l'resldcnt Ilourko has best tatod to glvo htm too much work to do, but In all that tho lad has essayed to do he has accomplished very satisfactory rcHults.

"These boys who uphotd the colors of the Institutions of learning on the base ball diamond are the ones who aro In demand by the managers ot tho leaguers. They are getting faster us tbo years go by and soon, If they keep Improving at the rate that they havo in tho past few years, they will bo nblo to drlvo tho league teams to the woods. 'This season's collegian ball tosscrs arc pcrhups tho best of tho lot. Vale, George town, Illinois, Cornell, Harvard, Pennsyl vania and Michigan have the premier teams. They havo been stucked up against tho National, American nnd Eastern league teams. To say that they did good work would not be giving tbo teams their duo ercdlt. They not only covered themselves with glory, but n most cases they made tho leagucra hustlo as they never did before to keep the sting of defeat from their hands. "Hut several ot thn collegians accom plished tho trick of beating tho leaguers. This was dono by Yale, Georgetown, Princeton nnd Illinois. It Is a feat that is well worthy of mention, Inasmuch as tho college players are, ns a rule, new to tho game.

A new outdoor game has been Invented v.iilrh combines some ot tho features ot golt and croquet, and promises to become popular with people who object to the Ion; golt course, and for whom croquet Is too tamo. It was Introduced In Wash ington by Commander Hcury McCreu, U. S, N., a short tlmo ago, and since then many golf-croquot fields have been laid out In various parts of tho country. Tho game possesses the advantages that It may be played on n lawn of any shape and with out much preparation, reports tho New York Tilbuuo. All that Is necessary Is to level the ground for a few feet near the wickets. Only ono club Is required, and tho caddies may bo dispensed with. The ball Is cheap, and not easily lost. Tho player gets the same kind of cxcrclso as In golf, and tho nccurato play of croquet Is requisite, while tho same element of luck comes In piny. The controlling features of golf-croquet are: A good estimation of dlstnnco and tho forco required to cover that distance; accuracy in driving a ball over tho grass or lifting It through tho nlr to clear ob stacles. Tho course on any lawn or field depends on tho shape ut tho place and Is marked by wickets similar to those used In croquet, but stronger, and by numbered Hags. No account need bo tnken of the distances betweon theso wickcls. It Is oven deemed better to havo them vnrylng. A spot or treo must be chosen near tho center of tho lawn, und In placing tho wickets they must face this center, ns all shots mado through wickets uro toward tho center. Tho wickets nro also placed so thnt tho next one In sequenco Is In plain view of tho last ono passed, bo that No. 3 may bo seen from No. 2, nnd No. 6 from No. 5. Eight wickets nro usually placed, but thero may bo less, nnd, as In golf, ono may go over tho field twice. Tho ball Is of wood, two and three-quarter Inches In diameter, light nnd tough, tho object being to get force nnd speed with out much momentum, and to bo sure that It will float. Tho mallets havo longer handles than the croquet mallets, and tho end of tho striking part Is hovelled so that It will lift tho ball clear of the turf. In tho booklet published by A. G. Spald ing & Ilroi. on this subject tho following rules for playing tho gamo nro given: "It may bo played by two or four peo ple, and thoso having started over tho course, moro may stnrt without confusion. Presuming thero nro two players, A and 11, A starts by placing the ball on tho placo chosen for tho stnrt, and care fully estimating tho distance, endeavors to Bend' IiIb ball as close nri possible to tho first wicket; this Is Btroko 1 for A. II then follows with his stroke 1. Now, going to where their balls nro, the ono farthest from tho wicket plays stroko 2, and If he Is still farthest away, ho plnys stroke 3, but If stroko 2 carries him closer thnn his op ponent, tho opponent plnys his stroko 2. This Is continued until both players got through tho wicket, tho number of Btrokos necessary being carefully kept by each. If n player can strike with his ball tho othor ball, hU stroke is froo, and not counted. The othor ball can bo replaced or left, nnd ho can cither play from whero tho ball lies or tnko It to any spot within tho radius of n mallet's head from tho ball struck. In no case can ho assume to have passed through a wicket. In playing with four players, two play as partners, llko In golf, using ono ball nnd alternating strokes. Having passed tho first wicket, tho others aro mado In tho same way." Tho game may bo played to count by tho total number of strokes necessary to go through the wickets, In which case the player making nil wickets with tho least number Of strokes wlnH, or It mny bo played by wickots, In which caao tho wicket counts for the- player who makes It in tho least number of strokes, nnd whcio plnyors aro equal as to strokes for n wicket no account Ib taken by either player for thnt wicket. Ono gamo Is called "nil strokes," tho othor "all wickets." PUGILISM LOOKS HOPELESS Michfg&n and Yfitconjfn Govsrnori Jin ii Knockout. JEFFRIES IS STILL AFTER RUHl Amntrnr Athletic Toiiriiiinirn t.

Unless tbo summer months turn up 6omo reversal ot the existing conditions there will be little to uniueo tho devotee of pugilism next fall and winter. Tho latest solar plexus blow a which the gamo has re ceived were delivered by Governors Hllss of Michigan nnd LaFolletto of Wisconsin und each of tho executives scored a clean knockout. In Chicago there seems to bo little pros pect of a revival ot tho sport, the game has had a shroud placed on it In the south and tho far west offers the only possible field where gladiators of tho squaicd circle mny come together In combat. Jim Jeffries, the champion ot the big pugs, has directed attention toward San Francisco, where ho says ho proposes to go per sonally iiiul muko nrrangenunts with some out of the athletic clubs there for a meet ing with Gus Uuhlln. This, at any rate, Is one report of Jeffries' intention. Another report has It that the champion Is booii to purt company with his manager, W. A. Urndy, and go It on his own hcok. Ills first venture, It is said, will bo tho opening of n big buffet at tho Uuffulo ex position, llrndy has so many affairs theatrical to look after that he Is suld to bo very willing to be relieved from the responsibilities ot managing tho prlzo big pugilist of the land, especially Inasmuch ns thu lighting gamo Is on the downgrade now. Tho Iluffalo buffet proposition is said to bo entertained by Jeffries as something to fall back upon In caso ho falls to arrango matters for it meeting with Huhlln In 'Frisco. Jeffries' expressed Intention of going to Snn Francisco to give his per sonal attention to the preliminary ar rangements for n meeting with Uuhlln In dicate that all reports which have pre viously been circulated regarding the sign ing of the agreement nnd tho decision to meet In the Golden (lute City have been without foundation. Two bouts between the little fellows aro scheduled for tho coming week. Ono will como off In South Omaha, when Oscar Gard ner and Pntsy Mngner will got together, and tho other will be In 'Frisco between Terry McOovcrn and Aurcllo llerrera. Gardner and Mugner havo both been in the city for somo time past in careful training for their match and the men who aro pro moting tho go are confident that It will bo a fnst and exciting one. A good deal of Interest centers In tho mntch botween McGovern nnd Herrern.

Hen era saw tho fight between Mc Govern nnd Gardner nnd Is quoted nB ex pressing tho opinion that McGovern wasn't Buch-a-much ot a fighter after all, His courage in ngrcclug 'to n match with tho "Hrooklyn wonder"' Is In Itself rather sur prising, but his conndencef being able to accomplish that which"; 'some of tho top notchcrs In featherweight circles havo been unablo to do Is little short of "amazing.
