Plugging along.
Josh Killing once remarked that whn a
man started to go down hill It seemeJ as
. If everything u greased for the occa
fSion. And Papa Bill Rourke la willing to
and up and say "amen" to this. He has
more than proved It elnce the present base
ball season opened, and blda fair to go
through to the end piling up evidence In
favor of the affirmative. Blll'a band of
warriors haa gone from one hard luck epi
sode to another with a sickening regularity,
and emerge from one wae of disaster
only to be engulfed by another. But right
here's where the change cornea.' Not a
man In the bunch haa lost hia courage, and
every time the dip haa been taken It haa
been against the proteat of the entire band.
Just at present the team la In aa good play
ing condition aa It haa been thin season,
the acquisition of Thornton at flrat and
Kelly at short doing much to bring It back
to Ita old form, and the teams that have
been doing so well at Omaha's expense are
likely to have their fun cut oil short.
Everybody knowa what Jack Thornton can
do, and Kelly glvea all exterior evidence of
being a ball player, so there will very
likely be something doing from the Omaha
nd of It from this time out. We may not
win the pennant, but It's going to keep
Ees Moines and Denver both Jumping to
bold us In the bottom hole.
Messrs. Burns, Packard and Sexton all
got together at Denver during the last
week and proceeded to deny totally and In
each Item the sundry and divers reports,
rumors. Interviews and hot-air yarns with
which their names had been connected dur
ing the fortnight previously, and especially
did they deny any Intention, expressed or
Implied, of the Western abandoning the
fight In Milwaukee or Kanaaa City. Hughy
Duffy chimes In from Milwaukee, promising
to 1 "hold her nocxle ag'ln the bank till
the last galoot's ashore." or words to that
effect. He Is as heroic as Leonidas and
James Fltxjames both put together, and
almost as chary In his expressions as the
late James J. Corbet t. One of the few
things In the deluge of denials thst Is of
Interest Is the statement by Messrs. Burns
and Packard that they do not own and
control a majority of the clubs In the
Western league. Nor haa there been any
further attempt to turn the Omaha fran
chise over to Bobby Lowe or any other
man. All of which Indicates that In a
degree the Rocky Mountain magnates are
returning to reason In a degree. But their
assertions that the American league Is on
the point of dissolution, and Is certain to
abandon the disputed points, seems to be
founded on mere hope. The stubborn fact
la that the American is in better snap
than It was last year, and the Western is
not.
Whatever the reason, the batters of the
Western league are not jnaklng the show
ing they did last year. When such pitchers
as Owen, Brown, Weitner, Gibson and Ad
kins were officiating in tbe league the bat
ting list was as full of .909 hitters as a dog
Is of fleas. With these acknowledged stars
out of the game, the list of sluggeVs has
dwindled 'until only ten of them have the
mark. Nine others are hitting close to .TOO,
but outside tbe money. Here are the ten
leaders: .
Fleming. Colorado Springs, left field.. .84
Duffy, Milwaukee, center field HI
O'Leary. Dee Molnee, shortstop. ...... .330
O'N'eil, Milwaukee, right field .3.3
Fohl, Desj Moines, catcher XI
Thornton. Omaha, first base .321
irongaiton, Colorado Borings, right
field Jit
Dtlehanty, Denver, second base .311
MCConnelU Bt. Joseph, catcher....
Wright, Peoria, flrat baae M
That Isn't a very formidable list of slug
gers, Is ItT Have the batters lost their
yea, or have we been getting the real
thing in the way of pitching and not recog
nised HT Even the great Ooerge Alonao
Btone, who hit away over, .300 last year, la
batting thirty-third in the 41st, with a per
centage of .176. It's pretty hard to say
what.
tbe time Buck had made tip his mind that
he had enough of the Millionaires, and
while he was profuse in his promises to
return, be next showed up in an Oakland
uniform and haa been playing regularly
on Petle Lohman's team ever since. Dun
don's absence will weaken Denver mate
rially, for neither RadcltfTe nor Schlebeck
can equal him as a player.
The statistics for the Omaha's team per
formance during the last week Indicate a
general Improvement in fielding and an
equal slump In hitting. The figures are:

among American players, J. W. Carver In
and 1S91 held the western champion
ship In douMes with J. A. Ryerson, while
U H. Waldner la now the holder of the
same title with Krelgh Collins, It will
also be remembered that thla latter team
gave (he Doherty brothers such a close
run In the championship round In the na
tional double last year.
These interstate events have been a great
success and Omaha players alwaya look
forward to witnessing the skill of the vis
itors when they appear on the Field club
courts every August. The tournaments of
l&M and 1896 were managed by George E.
Haverstlck. those of li3 and 1 by C. H.
Toung, while the tennis committee of the
Omaha Field club insured the success of
those held in 1931 and 1901.
GOLF ENTHUSIASM IS GROWING
Ope week from Tuesday Presidents John'
son, Pulliam and Powers will meet at 6ir
atoga to complete the draft of the na
tional agreement which is to cover all baae
ball operations; That this agreement win
be ratified is a foregone conclusion. It is
assured that it will be In all essential re
gards a model document for the govern
ment of the' game from - the magnate's
point of view, and as such will be of great
service to the game. Even with the slack
control of the present year the improve
ment ever the condition of anarchy that
prevailed last season is -so marked as to
Indicate what may be expected when the
time comes that the player's will Is not
tbe absolute law of tbe diamond. When It
geta to the pass that a player can bald his
place only by doing hia best the game will
be the gainer and the honest players will
be none the losers. For two seasons the
rowdies have defied suspension and the
black list because of the demand for play
ers. An agreement between the leaguea
Will put these fellows on a different basis
and may induce thi-ro to behave. At any
rate, they'll either play ball or get out of
the game.
Denver la in a wonder Just now over the
actions of Qua Dundon. The busy little
third baseman left the Grtsslles at Mil
waukee, ostensibly to go to his home In
Pennsylvania, where his wife waa reported
sick. He said he would return to Denver.
Since then It has been reported that he will

The pennant race In the Trl-Clty league
has reached a point of much Interest and
hna practically settled down between the
Ideals and Originals, with the Ideals
allghtly in the lead. The two Bluffa teams
are way in the rear and can not hope to
catch up in their position at all, as the
aeason la more than two-thirds over. The
Ideals have gained and held the lead
through their conalstently heavy batting
and through the work of their pitchers.
The Originals have combined the same two

headed and an even chance of finishing
at the head of the league. Those hitting

MID-WEST ENNIS TOURNEY

with Promise ef Good
Crowd.

Tomorrow will begin a week of tennis
and of the week which Is above all others
the acme of enthusiasm and real playing In
Omaha. It Is the opening day of the mid
dle west tournament, which win bring to
gether the representative players of at least
five states.
Everything Is In the best of preparation
for the tournament, which will live op to
Its promise of being the beat and most suc
cessful of any ever held in Omaha or In
the middle west. The number of entries Is
as great as there ever was, the courts are
a little finer and the players Just a little
better than ever, before. Tbe names of the
players who will play In the tournament
show an unusually large number of strong
men for any tournament outside of tbe east
or Chicago. Most of them have long rec
ords of many victories to look back upon
and all of them are still playing in their
strongest form.
The prises, too, am very fine. In valua
tion alone they are as good aa are given
for any tournaments except the largest of
the eastern ones, where money has ceaaed
to be an object. Following la a complete
list of the prises arranged for:

season and the acceasiona to the game are
ten and twelve a week at the Field and
Country clubs combined. The average
strength of the players is Increasing too.
esplte the Increase In new players and
he number of players that are making
the round at the Country ciub In under IdO
Is above the fifty mark, while there are
twenty or thirty that have equally low
records over the Field club course. Euch
matches as (he one with the two Dee

week Just passed are also aiding greatly
In the Interest of 'the piayers and In
directly In the character of their play.
Competition was life at both clubs for
places on the teams and for the whole
week preceding the matches the various
players spent all of their spare time work
ing on the links and trying to Improve their
play. Many low scores were made in
practice and, when the matches were
played, the results of the extra practice
were quite apparent.
The Country club Is planning to acquire
more ground next year for the course If
possible. The course at present la not aa
long aa the regulation course, but all that
can be done to lengthen It on the ground
they now have haa been done and more
ground la necessary to Increase ita length.
With an addition of ten acres this could
be done very readily. ' .

The attempt on, the part of the .Field
club to Interest the women of the club In
golf has met with only fair success so far.
A few of the women have taken up the
game and the Interest that they display Is
great. But their number Is still small and
an attempt Is being made to oontlnue to
Interest more. The weekly contests have
proven an encouraging feature and the
McMillan cup has given added Interest to
the game among those playing. All of the
matches for the women, so far, have been
played over the first nine holes, but In
time the play will be extended over the
entire eighteen hole course. At present
nine holes Is quite sufficient for most of
them to play as they have not had sufficient
practice to lay through the entire eighteen
without wearing themselves out entirely
and many would not attempt to go around
more than the nine holes if the matches
called for it even.

The tennis committee at the Omaha Field
club have been giving particular attention
the last week to the completing of the de
tails for the entertainment of the out-of-town
players during the tournament anl
they are assured one of the '-Tightest'
times possible. With the exoeption of
Thursday night something is arranged for
the amusement of the players for every
night of the week and the commute de
clare that Thursday night will not be left
open. On Monday the players will be Initi
ated Into tbe mysteries of the subteltles of
the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben; Tuesday a
duck drive is scheduled and then there will
bo the regular dance on Wednesday even
ing; the banquet and smoker will be given
Friday night and the second dance is on
Saturday night.
To the old Omaha Lawn Tennis club is
due the credit of starting the Interstate
tennis event, which is now held annually
t the Omaha Field club. In previous
years the meet was termed the Omaha
Interstate tournament, bat now bears the
more dignified nam of The Middle Weat
championship. All these events have been
held under the auspices of the United

On of the popular fads In Newport at
present is "munching." which means merely
eating very slowly. Munching is one of
the numerous preventives of growing
avoirdupois, and aa It bas ths recognition
of King Edward It is naturally regarded
with much favor In Newport. The theory
Is that every particle of food must bit
chewed slowly and carefully until no solid
material remains to be swallowed. Blow
eating Is merely carried to an extreme by
th new treatment. All London society
threatened with too much flesh Is said to
be chewing very long and very thoroughly
and American converts to the system are
already numerous. Its effect Is said to be
noticeable at dinners, which have come to
be known as munching parties snd are
much leas vivacious than they were when
eating and drinking went on rapidly. Per
sona who eat slowly also eat much less than
those who eat rapidly.

Th society women of Missouri have In
vented a new diversion, a "progressive
driving party." It waa th happy Idea of
Mtas Rosamond Outhrte of Mexico, Mo.
The guests at Miss Guthrie's party started
from her home, a couple in a buggy. After
driving ten or fifteen minutes, all th bug
gies stopped, and each gentleman got out
and climbed Into the buggy Just ahead of
him. Thla waa kept up si! evening. The
changes of partners were Interspersed by
refreshments at four different residences.
the entire party being fed sandwiches and
olives at on place, frapp at another,
cheese?traws and pickle at another and
orange Ice nd cake at the conclusion.
Seventeen young women and seventeen
young men parttclrated In this unusual
diversion.
Mrs. Margaret Bean, aged H. residing
at Webster, Mass.. haa regained tbe ui
of her limbs aa suddenly as their power
was taken away from her about "flfteen
years ago. At that time she was struck
by I'ghtnlng snd ever since has been a
helpless Invalid. I'pon awaking the other
morning she felt a great deal more ri
freshed than on previous mornings. It
seemed to her that she was much stronger.
Iler hitherto feeble, shaking bands bad
suddenly become strong and firm. Then
ah got out of bed and stood erect tor
th first ttm. In fifteen years. Her Joy
