.Omaha la straggling along in th itmt old
place, with the lame old team, and that
about all tbera la to It. Fapa Bill Rourk
la atlll burning up postage stamps and tele
graph toila trying to get aome new blood
for hla team. He want a another good ln
fl alder, one that can hit, and then he will
be In fair ehape In all but the pitching de
partment. The league meeting held at
Omaha waa a warn of time, ao far aa the
ordera then issued are concerned. Ita only
service la'to emphasize what The Bee has
openly charged, that there la a lack of
harmony among the men who own the
teams, and a Jealousy of Omaha that la aa
foolUh aa It la unfounded. Both Packard
and Duffy hare declined to be bound by
the aotlon of the meeting at Omaha, Pack
ard taking RadcllfTe back after he had been
ordered to report to Rourke and Duffy de
clining to release a man, although he prom
ised Rourke In June, long before the Omaha
meeting, that he would give him Thornton,
"When Rourke announced from Dee Moines
that be would have some new
faces In the lineup when Omaha
next faced a home crowd he was
relying on positive promlaea made
him by managers, among them that of
Duffy that Thornton would be here ready
to go to work before the team got back
to Omaha. When Thornton didn't show up
Duffy almply replied to Rourke's Query that
he knew nothing of the player's move
ments. Now that he haa been ordered to
let' one man go, Duffy says he can't make
a choice between McVlcker and Thornton.
He could do it mighty quick If his own
Interests were Involved, but aa it might
help Omaha he hasn't been able to make
up hla mind, and President Sexton Is ap
parently willing that he continue his Inde
cision to the end of the season. It wouldn't
make a great deal of difference now If
Thornton or the whole Milwaukee team.
for that matter, would come to Omaha, ao
far as patronage at the games la concerned,
but the general public would have a whole
lot more confidence In the game If the
magnate would make an honest effort to
live up to what they agree among them
selves In formal conference. The Omaha
meeting will be long remembered aa one
that didn't amount to a continental except
to show that the magnates are not In
clined to tote fair with on another.
Sexton haa removed to Colorado Springs,
from which point he can more advantage
ously manage the affairs of the Three-I
league, being too close to the scene of ao
tlon at Rock Island. He also haa the
added advantage of the adventitious pres
ence of the wordy man who speaks with
the voice of "Me and Van Brunt" This
Boanerges of base ball not Sexton re
cently announced that "the Western league
will have a team In Kansas City and Mil
waukee so long aa I have anything to do
with It." Of course this listens good; espe
dally when you recall the desperate effort
made by Van Brunt to alough St. Joe off
onto somebody, he didn't car who, last
spring, and the talk put up by the "Me'
end of the combine about taking his team
to Pueblo If the money-burners of Little
Lunnon didn't loosen up and help hint out.
The fact of the caae la, Mr. Burns of
Colorado Springs Isn't married to the game,

Omaha, Toledo has changed hands. The
double calamity of poor attendance and a
burned grandstand was too much for our
friend. Strobe I, and he let It go to a oom
blnatlon of "wen known local capitalists,'
who will probably last the season ,out
That's the franchise Omaha will have next
season. TJp at Milwaukee Havenor has
beoome tired of playing dollar ball to dime
crowds, and gtres it out that he InUmds
letting go aome of his stars In order to get
. even on the season's losses. This Is taken
i as an evidence that the American la wait
V-tnlng In Milwaukee. It must be remem-
bered that Havener's team haa drawn aa
' well on the horn grounds as Duffy's, and
that If Havenor la losing money, Dnffy Is,
too. Kansaa City Is In the same fix. All
of this points as directly aa anything oan
point to the conclusion that the pubtlc Is
tired of war. whether the magnates are
or not. and that It must be brought to an
end If the game is to be continued. Only a
complete readjustment of circuit lines can
remedy the situation, and It ia aa certain
aa anything to the future can be that this
readjustment will be .carried out before the
opening of another season. With one team
each In Milwaukee and Kansas City, and
Omaha In the circuit Instead of Toledo, the
American association circuit will be as
good a proposition as any In the country.
No one knowa this better than the men
who have their money Invested In the game.
. Sexton taxed Bill Everitt tans for fighting
with Umpire Kelly at Pes Moines and fined
Kelly 128 for hla share In the row. But
when It came to dealing with Prancka, the
cowardly ruffian who kicked Kelly in the
face as he lay on the floor after being
knocked down was let off with a reprimand
and a caution not to do It again. Everitt
and Kelly and Franoks are still In the
game adding tone to It, of ooursa
In the big leagues the echoes of the
Brush Insurrection are atlll heard, but the
good John T. Isn't doing anything, for the
simple reason that Byrea Bancroft Johnson
haa tied him up with Injunctions till he
looks like Gulliver after the LMlputlanj
had gotten through with him. Davis Isn't
playing with New fork, and Elberfeld Is,
and that la enough to send both Brush and
Freedman to the daffy pent and there la a
story that the American league backer la
weakening and threatens to allow the street
to be opened through the park, so that he
can escape from his long-time lease. Bat
of the war there Is no sign. The outlaw
Paclflo coast league Is making overtures
for peace and offers to be good if given
a chance. No announcement of the result
of the conference haa been made, but It's
a -good bet that this Is the last season of
two teama In towns of less than a million
population. In the interim the players are
taklag atepa to revive their union.
Close study of the statistics of the
Omaha team's performance will be of some
comfort to the followers of Its fortunes.
In the first place the reason for Omaha
being at the foot of the list Is apparent.
Not a man on the team, with the excep
tion of the two most recent acquisitions,
Is fielding as good as the average of the
team last year at this time, and only two
are hitting aa good as the team average of
a year ago. This is not at all encouraging.
But a little closer figuring shows a very
hopeful sign. While the team batting
shows a falling off, It Is more apparent
than real, and Is due to the weakness of
Sanders, who went through two games
without malting a hit, and dropped In
consequence from .833 to .111, and to Mil
ler's little slide from .230 to .23.
Mfller can do better than that, and will
with a little better tuck. He was robbed
of three hits last Sunday by aensatlonal
playa on the part of Everitt and Oran
vilie. Welch also suffered In the same way,
McNeely and Swaclna contributing some
startling fielding stunts to the game athla
expense. Genlna hit at the rate of Xn,
Hlckey at .313 end Carter at even .300 for
the week. Thomas, also. Improved his gait
some, going up to a .269 clip. If this rate
of Improvement keeps on, and it was
against the best pitchers In the league, with
good fielders behind them, Omaha will
soon show some .300 hitters along with the
rest of the teams. Eddie Hlckey was the
only man of the team who went through
the week with a hit In every game.
In fielding the team average shows an
Improvement of four points, although It Is
far behind last year s record. Qenlns,
Shugart, Schafstall and Hlckey contributed
the eleven . errors made by the team In
the eight games played, and Hlckey made
five of them. He had one bad afternoon,
a week ago, when he gathered three
blunders out of seven chances, but he more
than redeemed himself during the rest of
the week. He Is working harder than ever,
and la really playing a brilliant game at
third. Genlna Is putting up a phenomenal
game at short During the eight games he
had fifty-eight chances and made three
errors, a fielding average 'of 94.9 per cent
for the week. When you recall the fact
that George Davis, the shortstop about
whom such a fuss Is being made In the Mg
leagues, only fields 94.1 per cent, you' will
know bow well Genlns Is playing the post'
tion. In one game Shugart had fourteen
chances, eleven assists and three putouts,
without a skip. Johnny Gonding went
through the week without an error, and
he had plenty of work. Jack Thomas put
op a game at first that would make iny
body feel proud, and the whole team waa
up on Its toea all the way. Here are the
figures, and you can work them out for
yourself:

wrong. In the west there has always been
a cry against certain players from time to
time, but seldom has any player been
proven a professional. Nevertheless the
foot ball elevens of the Big Nine are
strengthened by this class of players. - In
most Instances the managements of the
teama do not pay out any money directly
for the support of any of the players, but
student enthusiasts and townspeople bend
their efforts to the end that good players
be gotten If money will get them. When
Nebraska attempted to break Into the Big
Nine It was refused entrance on the plea
that It was too far removed from the field
of the other colleges to reap any benefit or
to strengthen the conference. Nebraska
turned around and said that the Big Nine
was afraid to risk Its reputation with us.
That was partly true. The Big Nine did
fear Nebraska's prowess, and with good
reason, but the question of professionalism
waa the real one which hurt Nebraska's
chances.
Professionalism with the Big Nine is so
obvious and yet so slightly battled with
that It did not care to tako In another
offender. Nebraska's very distance would
militate against the chances of ever prov
ing professionalism against any of Its team
members. If they could not show up the
professionals on the elevens of the Vnl
verslty of Chicago, the University of Michi
gan, Wisconsin or Minnesota, it would
be next to Impossible to prove anything
against Nebraskana who came from 609
miles away. It was known that the Indian
end, Rogers, of the Minnesota Gophers, was
paid an exorbitant wage for caring for a
furnace; that two of Wisconsin's men
worked lightly at large wages In the state
house, and that Michigan had three out ani
out professionals, but nothing was ever
done about It Notre Dame was another
offender, and a flagrant one, on the track,
but no professionalism charges were proven.
So Nebraska was refused entrance and
felt badly about It A little thought on
the part of Nebraska might have brought
It to lta senses, but It failed to. Instead
It went out and scoured the woods this
spring for base ball players and made
several poor bargains, but secured the very
professionals that It went after. Charges
were brought out last year against the
amateur standing of several of the foot
ball eleven, but no denial beyond a very
weak-voiced one was forthcoming. Per
haps, the money or return that came to
these professionals was not paid for by the
athletio management or with their cog
nlianoe probably not but the fact of Its
payment was easily to be found out by
the faculty and student board. The desire
for a team that would win blinded their
eyes to this, though, and they had to
stand by and keep silent when charges
were made against the amateur Integrity
of the team.
Professionalism Is not only ruining the
standing of Nebraska among other colleges
In the west but It Is ruining It In the
esteem of the students. A protest haa
gone up from them, not public for they
will not do anything against the team
that can hurt It publicly, but a protest haa
gone up against It aa a aomethlng that la
bound to hurt It Irreparably If continued.
Without professionals on the team the stu
dents will turn out and work for and with
the team. Many, who possess the ability
and the desire to play, refuse to put on
uniforms simply because they feel that they
have no opportunity as long as men are
bought to play. This spring It was so
with base ball and a little more flagrancy
In foot ball will find It the same there.
The students were particularly displeased
with the action of the board In allowing
one of the players to play when he was
but nominally In the university. After
registration he did nothing but play base
ball and waa a nonentity in the class room.
Students on the team have been forced not
only to take a certain amount of work,
but have been required to keep up In It
and attend classes,' while this man, who
came for the sole purpose of playing ball,
was given privileges beyond any ever al
lotted to players, who play for the pure
love of the game. All of this has worked
toward the detriment of athletics at Ne
braska, and the student body Is ripe for a
revolt against this condition of affairs.
They feel that with the best of coaches
and a field of men who can be trained to
the playing of various college games, eyery
man should be given the opportunity to
win a place on the team and any money
paid out should be spent tor the team fa
legitimate ways or not at all.

TENNIS MEN TAKE PRACTICE
Getting; Ready for the City Tourna
ment Which Marts Next
Week.
A week has gone by without anything
happening in tennis beyond the regular
play of the passing days and there Is a
general feeling of happiness among the
players In knowing that they have another
week without any tournament to worry
them. Then comes the city championship
matches at the Field club.
The principal Interest of the enthusiasts
ia now centered about this tournament and
a great deal of speculating Is going on as
to what the result of the tournament will
be. There Is a general feeling of uncer
tainty aa to who will carry away the
honors, as the year haa already shown a
remarkable development In the work of
many of the younger players. Each tourna
ment seemed to bring more of them to the
front until there are a dosen who are
showing up as players to be reckoned with
almost any time. And all of them are
making preparations to enter in the cham
pionship contest, so that the entry list
will be unusually large. Entries are as
sured from the St Croix, the Shiiner, the
Country club', the Toung Men's Christian
association and the Field club courts. With
all of these clubs represented there will be
a large showing of youngsters in the game,
as well aa of the older line of players
whose work has been known to the local
enthusiasts for some years.
When Scribner took the finals away from
Caldwell at the Field club a week ago
yesterday It waa a aevere shock to a great
many of the players. Scrlbner'a game has
been watched with much Interest all sum
mer and there were many things to admire
In It but few believed that he could win
from such a veteran player -as Caldwell.
Caldwell's handicap waa not aevere and
everything went to show that It ahould
fall to the older player. But Borfbner sur
prised everyone by winning from Caldwell
easily. His play waa simply better than
his opponent's and he would have won
without any point advantage.
Scribner has pretty form and playa a sure
game, but has sacrificed sureness all season
to form. Then, he turned round against
Caldwell, and played a strong, heady game
with every stroke placed to win and it
made him a . tower of strength beating
Caldwell at every turn of the game. He
lobbed over him, drove through him tnd
put them down the sides until Caldwell
waa worn out
If Scribner can win over Caldwell again
he is one of the coming players in Omaha,
and there are others of the newer players
that must be reckoned with, for Scribner
is not winning any too easily over many of
the younger set D. Pollard, Van Camp,
Collett, Chase and a half dozen others are
playing an almost even game with Scrib
ner in practice.

FOOT BALL FOR NEXT SEASON
rrefeHloaaliim at Nebraska Is Drw.

ra Celleares.
It ta hardly two months until foot ball
will hold the center of the etage again to
the almost total exclusion of all other forms
of sport. Considering the relatively small
number that really play and have played. It
has the largest following of any sport In
the country. With no more than fifty good
games a week in the entire country, the
attendance figures mount up Into six fig
ures. And above all this it Is a game which
is fostered and played only by the ama
teurs. It Is the fall athletic center of the
university, the high school and the acade
mlea With them sport Is supposed to be
strictly amtteur and rules and regulations
have been hemmed in around the players
until It would seem that It would be next
to impossible for them to have a man who
could be a professional In the slightest de
gree on their teama
Ten years ago every college of athletic
standing had professionals on their teams
and It was common knowledge that such
waa the case, but this state of affairs was
destroyed and in' its place grew up a new
professional class. Student management
and student enthusiasm covertly paid men
or gave them Inducements to play on the
college teams and class requirements were
put Into effect by the faculties. .This did
away with the custom to a marked extent
but it still prevails In a great number of
the colleges. Rivalry between colleges
makes It an object to pay men to play on
foot ball and base ball teams and their
payment Is so concealed that it Is difficult
for the associations and conferences to
furnish any proofs of profeaslonallant.
Each year a few of the foremost players
of the larger universities are proven pro
fessionals, but a large number of thera are
never even suspected, or. If suspected, are
not brought to task, because It is Im
possible to furnish the requisite proofs. It
Is la the east that the proofs of profes
sionalism have ben found aad It la seldom

MANAWA SAILORS KEEP BUSY
Speculation aa to the Crew that Will
Go to Oshkosk la
August.
Sailing at Manawa is atlll holding the
Interest of its devotees despite the fact
that the merits of the various boats have
been quite thoroughly tested and it is prao
tlcally certain which boat will go to the
Oshkosh regatta. Argo has shown Its su
periority over all of the boats In almost
every race and has sailed away from all of
lta mates In every kind of a breese. Only
once has It been beaten this year and that
was last Sunday, when Andover and Grebe
both came in ahead of It. The wind was
very light and conditions were not generally
good for any real test of the merits of the
respective boats, so that the winning over
Argo Is considered quite flucky.
With Argo practically assured as the
representative of the Manawa Tacht club
at the Inland Lakes regatta at Oshkosh
next month, speculation has turned to the
makeup of the crew that wUl go with the
boat The picking of the crew will be done
within a week or so and everything points
at present to Its containing Al Stevens,
McAllister and Lou Clark, with the fourth
man lying between three or four others of
the sailors on the lake.
Saturday night the twenty-two sailors,
who make up the crews of the racing boats
of the club, were tendered a fish dinner by
W. H. White at his cottage on the lake and
many of the points of the Oshkosh regatta
and Its probable result were considered
there.

the arranging of this tournament and both
the men's and women's events will be

players promise to enter. Collins and
Waldner, the" present western champions
in the doubles, played two weeks ago at
Orange, N. J.. In the eastern tournament
and received the assurances of several of
the players there that they would enter at
Chicago on July 26. This, with such
western men, aa Collins and Waldner,
Snow and Aahcraft, promise to make the
doubles fine and an equally good showing
of western men In the singles adds to the
Interest and uncertainty of the tournament

FISHERMEN TAKE A BREATHER
hort Rest Before the Late Ssnmn
Onslaught on the Finny
Game.
The last week has been a season of rest
and quiet for the fishermen and few of
them have taken themselves to the banks of
the streams and lakes to snare the baisa
and hla fellowa Cold weather at home has
deterred the fishers and then there have
come tales from the northern lakes of a
less greedy appetite on the part of the fish.
If the fish will not bite there is no use In
fishing and so they have stayed at home.
With another week, though, the fish will
undoubtedly begin biting again and then
the followers of the rod and the line will
seek the northern lakes of Minnesota and
Iowa. There are a few bass, pike and crap-
plea in and about the lakes near Omaha,
but the real fishing Is only to be found
away from home and a dosen parties are
being formed to go to Lake Washington,
Balsam lake, Okobojl and others of these
fishing lakes.

Cook Medical Co., 112 So. 14th St., Omaha, Neb.:
Gentlemen There is no person to whom I am more
Indebted than to your Chicago Consulting Fhyslclan.
1 was suffering all the agonies of mind and body, tho
pain and misery of a most serious, ' annoying disease.
My family doctor gave me a scant examination and
humiliating words regarding my trouble as a . mere
trifle. I became rapidly worse and could barely crawl
up to your office. One work has cured me. The relief
your medicine gave was so prompt it seemed the work
of magic. If my letter will be the means of guiding
a fellow, sufferer to your care, I want you to use it aa
you wish. Your life-long debtor and bumble servant,

Information
about Colorado.
The thought has occurred to us that we might
induce a great many people to go to Colorado if we
could only ma&e them realize how quickly and
comfortably the trip to Colorado is made, how low
the rate is and how wonderfully beautiful Colo
rado really is.
With that end in view we have prepared this
blank. Fill it out, enclose it in an envelope, and
we will not only answer any questions you may
ask, but we will send free of charge a copy of "Un
der the Torquoise Sky." We usually charge six
cents in stamps for this book, but for this special
occasion we will send it' free.
