If anyone should tell President William Tlourkc of the Omaha Base Dall rlub that his team of plaors is booked for a sojourn of Indefinite length down at the bottom of the Western league percentage column the president would toll that one that he was barking up the wrong tree. President Itourke has the supremest confidence In the capabilities of his players and attributes the poor showing they have made thus far v holly to bad luck. The ice was In a measure broken last vork when Omaha von three games In tuceesslon. The two games won from Colo rado Springs and the third from Dob Molncs was the first string of victories the locals have been able to corral this bfcson. Prior to that time every victory was sandwiched in between one or more defeats. "If it had not been for the hard run of luck we had at the beginning of the season," said the president, "Omaha would be above the position we occupy now in the percentage column. The team v.-as un- dcnlably weakened by the absence from Its ranks of both Lauzon and McAndrcws. Mc- Andrews Is now back In the game and Lauzon will be in a few days. The Injuries i to there two players proved a big handicap to us The accidents befell them Just at a I time of the bcuson when it was Impossible i to sign any good men and we had to get along tho best we could. "With McAndrcws back on third and Cal houn returned to hU regular position on first wo have as good an Infield as thero Is In tho league. 1 will probably make a change In the outfield unless Held gets his hitting eye. There is no question that Held is ore of the best men in the busi ness. Last year and the year before he hit .327 and .337 and 1 co on record right tow with the atsertlon that be Is as pretty a fielder as there Is In the league. Hut un less he braces up In his hitting 1 will have to put him on the bench for awhile nnd switch Letcher around to center, play ing Mobile Lauzon in right as soon as he is able to get back into the game " President Rourko mad quite a change tr. h's pitching staff last weok and there is no question that it will turn out to the best advantage of the club. He released Lute Prccland to the New Orleans club of the Southern league, Frceland Joined the Omaha ttam the latter part of last season, lilgnlng us a pitcher, but was Injured in . tho first game he pitched and consequently was unablo to do anything other than utility work. This season his arm hasn't been In the best of shape, although he was considered one of the best men on the staff Precland's long suit Is In his hitting per formances. He is probably as good a hit ter as there was among tho pitchers in the Western lague. and it will not be surpris ing if he carries away the honors with the willow among the pitchers of tho Southern league. Some time ago Presidrnt Itourke entered into negotiations with H. V. Payne, tho old star who pitched for Brooklyn and Pitts burg up until a year ago. While these ne gotiations were in progress the president received a letter from Abner Powell, man ager of tho New Orleans club. Btatlng that he was In distress because of bis need for a pitcher. Itourke and Powell are old friends and the Omaha president determined to help the Southern league magnate out of his difficulty If he possibly could. Wednes day President Itourke received a telegram of acceptance from Payne. That added an othcr pltchrr to tho Omaha staff and made it posslblo for the relcuso of one of the pitchers. So President Itourke telegraphed Powell that he would send him a good, re liable pitcher, and Kreeland was sent along to the balmy south. Omaha's now pitcher. PHyne. was at one tlmu considered one of the star twlrlers la the National league. He pitched for Brook lyn three seasons and officiated on the slab for Plttuburg In '99. At the close of the year his arm was in pretty bad shape, so Payne concluded to stay out of the game, and he rested up all last season. President Itourke has been In correspond ence with him for fohic time and last week received a message from Payne, stating that he had decided to join the Omaha club. Payne writes that his arm is in splendid rhapo and thero is little doubt that he will proo a top-notcher In the Western league this season. He is a southpaw. His home is in ABhtabula, 0 where President Itourke tolegraphed him the wherewith to make the Journey to Omaha last Thursday. The discouragement of the Omaha fans is not a marker to the deep clouds of gloom which hover around the vicinity of Des Moines. The folowlng is a special to the Sporting News, which sizes up thu situation in the Prohibition City: The management Is being criticised pretty thoroughly on the makeup of the outfield.

No faster ball Is being played In any of the leagues than that which is dished up daily on the diamonds of the Western. One day last week there was an occurrence which probably has no precedent In base ball history With eight teams as partici pants the total score of the four games was aim runs. Another thing which com mends tht Western league to the patronage of the people Is that the games are being played with the utmost decorum. There Is no scrapping or wrangling and the staC of umpires which President Hlckev has selected is doing Its duty In the most pralsewoithy manner.

HUlliHi(,.u, .v In the Wheeling World Good road talk is cheap and iof little value unless backed by money and action. "The agitation, confined to words, Is futile," says the Kanaits City Star. "The pood people pet tofretlfer In conventions and read papers and udopt resolutions about pood roads and then drive home in the mud. Everybody is in favor of line turnpikes u.nd the children cry for them. Nevertheless, in an agricultural paradise like Missouri, thcr virtually no pavod roads at ull. Up in rich, proud Iowa the people huve talked of roads, roads, but nary a macadam plko have they. "The fact is that the building of paved highways Is a very simple thing, n plain matter of money. The trouble is that the people want the roods, but don't want, to upend the money, and, hence, all the talk comes to naught. "In this problem that is to say, tho problem of petting the money, not how to build tho roads is found an Illustration of the fact that the practical course of administrative functions Is to pay for the essentials rather than avoid what 1? erroneously called the 'burdens of taxa tion.' Reducing taxes to the smallest pos sible sum involves, necessarily, paring down the rasults of taxation. It Is like a man saving money by living meanly. He loses more by the denials be practices than he pains by the cash lie accumulates." Our government, allowed several trans ports with returning volunteers to stop at Yokohama and so hundreds of American soldiers visited that city and Toklo. One of them hired a bicycle and was taking a ride about the btreets of Yokohama when he ran down an elderly Japanese man. The soldier rang his bell several times, but the Japanese apparently paid no attention to It and the American found himself promptly arrested and tnken to court, where he was fined 10 yen (15). He protested that he had done everything possible to avert the accident and asked why tho man made no attempt to get nut of the way. Thu police man then told him that the man was blind. The soldier looked dazed for u minute, then felt In his pocket and brought out u $10 bill. "Here," he said. "It's the last I've got, but he can have It," and he turned It over to the blind man. The Japanese were deeply touched und thaj same day a delegation of policemen hunted up the soldier und gave him back his tine. The middle west us well ub the Mississippi and Missouri valley cities aie given a cold shake by the National Cycling association. No city west of Cleveland and the fabled Terre Haute is included in the grand cir cuit of racing events for mid-summer The events scheduled will cover sixty-three days, extending from June G to Septem ber S. A rider following this circuit from start to finish would have to travol 4,000 miles and spend sixteen nights on the cars and would not necessarily spend more than KM0. The total prize list for the circuit win reach J2:.,000. The new rules of the association concern ing championships Insure a higher class of competition for these races and also guar antee the public against any disappoint ments when they go to see the star men. The riders when they enter for the first championship race are committed to com pete throughout the entire circuit. Added to this Is the fact that the "trust" has declared ull its riders for the circuit, so that meets scheduled now for next Augutt are certain to have the full complement of crack riders. The advent of the Pan-American exposi tion and the Introduction of European sta's and European features In the races Is an other factor that Is of Importance In the outlook for u boom In the sport. It Is not easy to estimate the extent that this de parture may have, not only this year, but In the future. The foreigners will be here, not for the Buffalo meeting alone, but for the National Cycling association circuit as well. Most significant of the many evidences of a revival in wheeling is the turn of the tide in the membership of the League cf American Wheelmen. For over three years the order has been declining steadily, and last year the rate was so rapid that the Issue of weekly bulletins of mcmbeishipil was suspended. Now the league .s o:i the upgrade again Many state cMlsions re port steady pains. The testimony at the League of American Wheelmen i-fll cs s that backsliding members come in to re new their lost membership with an earnest cess that is almost enthusiastic Some of t them admit that they had been diverted from wheel riding for a time by golf or something else and they make the confes sion rather sheepishly, as if owning up to I The success ot the bicycle sldepa'h move ment, together with the unquestioned ben efit and convenience of sldcpaths pallcu- , larly In and ubout cities of 100,000 lnhabl- tants and upward to 200,000, will undoubt edly give an impetus to the movement this year. This may be anticipated wi:h grea er tertalnty for the reason that the League of American Wheelmen, as an otganlzatlon Is now devoting much time to this and other practical causes In the lntcrosts of cyclists. The sidepath for cyclists is fully as uecesary as tho bridle path to eques- I trlans and the growing Interest of the j wheel during the last few years has entitled , it to fully as much consideration at ihr hands of legislative bodies as either the road driver or equestrian is entitled to Indeed, the wheelmen should tectlve even a greater degree of consideration than the last two named classes at the hands of ' rounty commissioners and municipal toun- ) sellers, for they only nsk a portion instead i of a full measure of support and show their good faith In many lnstan;e.- by goiug down in their own pockets, individually and collectively, for the benefits they are de- 1 slrous of acquiring. Bicycle nollccmcn are useful men in cases of emergency and most of them prove their cool-hcadednoss at such times. A case In point was the timely act of one who last week stopped n runaway horse dm en by Tom Sharkey, the pugilist. The policeman , was on his wheel at the time, and had stopped to rest with his hand against the trunk of a tree. He was in motion so quickly and Ftopped the horse in suib short time that the remark of one bystander was i the thought of all. "How fortunate." said this one, "that you weru on your wheel The remark suggested another from a sec ond bystander to this effect "Don"t you think a bicycle policeman should be always on his bicycle?" "No. I do not." replied the policeman. "It Is not necessary I mRdc pretty quirk time Just now. but I could have got away quicker If 1 had been on the ground. When I pushed off from that tree I was slow to get Into motion If 1 vaulted Into the saddle frcm the ground I would give the wheel enough start to go me going quickly at once." Now and then a bicycle collides with a street car or Is run down by an automo bile, and the fact Is reported In the news papers; but. unless something of that na ture occurs, the wheel attracts scarcely more attention than the buggy. Why is that the case? The notion prevails In some quarters, says the New York Sun. that wheels are not so numerous as they were u few years ago. This Impression, how ever, Is not sustained by facts. More wheels are in use now than at any time In the past. As a pastime, wheeling has probably ' declined. It has lost much of Its froth. that is. the clement that rushes Into any new sport because It's fashionable,' which some years ago, for instance, filled the town with roller skating rinks. The dudes and the mashers and, as a Brooklyn police captain once called them, the "wild-eyed Idiots," who scorch on parade to the peril or discomfort of everybody else on the. highway, have lost their real. I'resent day wheelmen- arc out for their health, but tho majority of them are out for business. Throughout the length and breadth of the land tho bicycle is looked on as well-nigh indispensable as a means of locomotion. One of the accessories to the bicycle that has never been popular In America, al though It has been universally used In England. Is the gear case. It has undoubt edly much to commend it, but although Yankee Ingenuity tpeodlly produced the lightest, strongest, best appearing and most effective gear caseo ever marketed, many of which have succeeded home products among English riders. American cyclists would havo none of them. A good chain lubricant and a thorough cleaning at the end of the ride was moro to the American's taste, and the probabilities seem that he will always be of the same mind. Of course, with the advent of the chalnlcss, the gear case went out of business, so far bb tho requirements of chainlesB-whcel riders were eoncernod. But there aro tens of thousands of chain" wheels in use today and not one In 100 are fitted with a ease. "It simply demon strates," sold a dealer the other day in commenting upon the fact, "that some things which go In England (like English built wheels, for instance) won't go In the United States. The American rider wants an American-built wheel, with as few ac cessories as possible, and it Is a notable fact that the rest of the world is coming to a similar conclusion, not excepting English men themselves." Consular reports on the English cyclo trade show the condition of things there to be In marked contrast to that which obtains at this time in the United States. While the cycle trade In America, despite the un favorable spring, Is enjoying a degree of activity that had ocarcoly been anticipated at the opening of the year, that of England has thus far been disappointing In the ex treme. "Competition," says our govern ment correspondent, "la largely responsi ble," and the best part of this truth Is that the strongest competition is coming from American manufacturers. The splendid dis play of light, strong, graceful and hand somely finished bicycles mado at the Paris exposition last year by the American Bicy cle company is largely responsible for the increased demand that has arisen In Europe nnd In England itself for Yankee whoelB. They were a revelation to foreign riders, and the result has been a growth in the cycle export trade of the United States that has had much to do with the activity that characterizes the American trade this year. When it is remembered that only a few years ago England was busily engaged in teaching us how to build and sell wheels, the change in conditions is all the marc gratifying- Today an Engllsh-bullt wheel In thlB country Is a curiosity, while In every country where bicycles are ridden the American wheel Is the standard of excel lence, stylo and finish In cycle construction. Eddie Bald has ridden his last race. The saucer track will givo way to the bewilder ing glare of the brans-finished cafe and the shooting of the starter's pistol will be no sweeter In Bald's ears than the clinking cf the cash register bell. It Is Bald's Inten tion to engage In business aud his Initial appearance will be In the form of proprie tor of a swell cafe. "Will you raco again'" was asked of Bald. "I have quit the track for good," promptly replied tha Buffalo boy, "My ntlre mrnt is final and I will not appear on a bicycle again in racing togs." It Is not commonly known that many bicycle riders cannot ride In chilly weather. Johnnie Nelson, the gre-at middle distance rider, Is one of the latter class. On a warm day the clever youngster will go out and rldo mile after mile at a 137 gait and one day later, providing it Is cold, be will do no ttetter than 1.45 and will finish iti bad shape Eati Klser could not ride on a cold day and was a beaten man before be started on such a day It Is strange in Nelson's case for he comes from a cold eoun'ry und ...DISEASES OF MEN ONLY..
