Down to business.
Base bill taajrr.ates hare made up their
minds that they are to have something to
say itmt the m an ag-e merit of their affairs
. for the coming sr-aeon at any event. The
admission ef the California ns to the National
sreement clees the gsts to the bumptious
all tneser. and ends the prospect of Jump
' In whenever the "boas" U not willing to
'loosen up." Borne extensive concessions
; vera made to the Califoralajis, even to tha
'. extent of putties them hi a clam by them
' selves, between the class A teams of the
! minor leagues and the major league teams,
: something that doesn't amount to much tn
' eotnparlBon with the benefit that will accrue
! from having them In aa partlea to an agree-rner-t.
Major league owners and managers
' are bury urt now, mai Icing down salaries,
and the minora are following suit. Players
are holding on to oontracta In which the
i figures set down are much below those of
I' last season, some of them being almost
cut In two. Earnest and conscientious
t players have suffered but little, but the
"out-for-the-stuff" bunch and those who
( showed the symptoms of RubberlegiUs have
been whittled down to something like what
ithey are worth to a team. And now that
tha reserve rule will he respected. It la a
cinch that the player will work for lesa
ynoney, and will play for the team he Is on,
f or he won't ploy at all. This will have a
! most marked effect In the minor leaguea.
i For at least three seasons the minors have
been at the mercy of the players, managers
. having almost no control over tho men on
account of the facility for Jumping. . Every
team has suffered to a greater or less extent
from this causa, and the demorallaatlon has
had a reflection in the receipts. With his
expenses Increased and his receipts cut
down by tha conduct of unruly players, tha
. way of the minor league magnate has cer
tainly been a hard one; but he can see light
hesd now, and hopes that during the com
ing summer to gat a new dollar out of the
game for his own pocket. And the honest
all player will not suffer In the meantime.
Affairs in the Western league have about
. settled down to a working basis. Denver
has won the pennant for 114, and when
the schedule committee meeta -at Dee
Moines this week Its Drat business will be
to adopt a resolution formally awarding
tha championship to the Mountaineers, and
then It will proceed to adopt a schedule of
exhibition games to be played off during
tha summer In order to exhibit the rela
tive strength of the teams. Of course, no
other team wlU be allowed a look-in with
renver. TV beau has mrsred all tha Mil
waukee and Kansas City Western league
men to tba mountains and baa drafted
Kansas City and Louisville American
teams to make op the regiment ha la to
maintain at the Broadway park during the
coming summer. Georgie generously an
nounces that Sioux City may have what
players he doesn't want, but he must keep
enough to fill tha grandstand at any time
tha public demands It. Just whaf sort cf
story he will tell In Kansas City and
Louts-villa has not ret been outlined, but
he will have to cook a couple mora pills
before he reaches there.
In the meantime Papa Bill Rourke is
sawing wood. He doe not propose to win
the pennant on paper this year, but will
-try to get somewhere near It on tha dia
mond. Youngsters will hare a show on
the Omaha team next summer, and while
the Rourkes will not look especially formid
able In names, they promise to make good
tn the field and at the bat. To begin with
we have old reliable Johnny Oondlng for
catcher. He's the peer of any of them,
even If his work last year waa a trifle off.
He promises to make up this sea
son for his shortcomings ef last,
and to furnish the article of ball that
endeared htm to as In the first place. Then
comes Jack Thomas, cot so old. but Just
ss reliable. Jack will cover first base for
Omaha this season, and If he doesn't make
a tear on the circuit it wlU be funny. He
14 the lgoe In the poaitlnn last year and
be Is now oat for the place proper. Thomas
haa learned much about base ball since he
came t Omaha, and while he Isn't the
hardest hitter that ever happened, ha Is
there with the god8 In the Hell, and its
odds-on that he will lose none of his popu
larity here by his work the coming season.
P.bby Carter needs no commendation from
The Ree or anyone else. If hs Isn't sn
honest ball plsyer there never waa one.
He will attend to the right garden as per
usual and you only have to look over his
work of last season to get a line on what
be Is going to do next summer. He's the
peer of any man In the business In the sun
field. Dusty Miller will look after the work
thst fall! to the lot of the left fielder.
Duty Is a ball player, too, with a hair
trigger temper, but with sense enough te
know when he Is being treated right, and
he'll be found doing his best for the Omaha
team. This ends the list of old-time
Omaha playera. Joe Quln will start at sec
ond and will captain the team. lie's a
long way from being a dead one and he
surely knows the game backward. With
Joe In charge of the strategy and a eepabls
bunch of young persons to execute his di
rections, we will have a repetition of the
glorious days of 1902, when the Omnhans
came so near winning the pennant without
making a hit. Fhlpley, who will play third.
Is a young fellow from the Missouri league.
He hit over . down there and la credited
with being lightning fast and absolutely
si; re as a fielder. For shortstop the place
Is still unfilled, but Papa Bill has a line on
a youngster frjn Pennsylvania who la
highly recommended by good Judges and
who will be given a chance. The vacancy
in the outfield will be filled wih a man
from a National league club. Juat which
ona of three Rourke cannot now say. He
is promised a good one and will be here In
time to enter on the practice with tha team.
For pitchers. Companion. BchafstaTi, Hen
derson and LJebhardt will start, and quite
likely Sanders. St. Louis still claims San
ders, although his name did not appear In
the reserve list of the Cardinals. Corre
spondence with Roblaon has brought a
promise to Rourke that he will get Sanders
if St. Louis doesn't use him: Charley Nich
ols, the lew manager, hasn't expressed an
opinion as to what he will do with War.
but Rourke is very confident that he will
get him. Lines are out for one or two
other youngsters, who will be given a
chance to show what there la In them.
Harry Welsh will be utility man on the
team and will get a chance at aa occasional
turn In the box. Harry Is a good fielder
and a good pinch hitter and will be worth
his money to the club at all times.
That The Bee la not alone In Its opinion
of the affairs of the Western league and
the results of the Chicago meeting may
be Judged from the following editorials
from the Sporting News of St. Louis, a
paper that stands for all that Is good and
against all that la bad In base ball:
The affairs of the Wertern league are In
an unsettled and unsatisfactory shape and
there must be hearty co-operation t-etween
the club owners to get ready for the race
and keep the organisation Intact. Condi
tions must be accepted and enmities, en
rendered in the reorganisation, must be
buried completely. Rumors of the retire
ment of President Sexton were premature.
He waa unanimous re-elected at the Chi
cago meeting and will put forth his best
executive and personal efforts to make
the six-club circuit a success. There Is a
great deal for every one connected with
the Western league to do before the
achedule meeting In March and particular
attention must be paid to St. Joe and
Sioux City. Both of these cities are back
ward and should be given assistance and
encouragement. The abandonment of Kan
sss City msy make It necessary to enlist
capital in St. Joe. which has never tieen
regarded as a profitable point. The gravity
of the situation la fully realised by those
who are most Interested In the Weetern
league and doubtless If It is required, finan
cial assistance will be given to both the
weak members. The Denver, Colorado
Springs. Omaha end Dea Moines clubs are
well equipped with plants and players and
backed by men of means. Rourke's rela
tions with two of his pa rtners Burns and
Tebeau are not pleasant, and the pros
pects of a reconciliation are remote. But
personal dlfferenoea should be sidetracked
and, above all, a factional form of govern
ment for the lea rue should be discouraged.
Base ball politics has been tha game's
greatest hsndlcap and the Western league,
weak In many ways, will not survive a
season. If It la dominated In the Interests
of a clique.
The expulsion of Tebeau has expunged
from the records of the Western league
and his "wrongs have bei redressed aa
far as It lies In our (Western league)
power." The ready-to-order vindication is
as complete as words can make it and pre
sumably was satisfactory to the white
washed party, who probably Inspected and
approved the resolution before It was sub
mitted. If It hd not been it Is not possi
ble that it would have hsd Burns' endorse
ment. The signers were Thomas P. Burns,

The National asstxlation narrowly escaped
destruction at Its last annuai meeting
through the attrmpt of the American as
sociation and Eaern league to carry out
plans formed in caucus and sprung at the
National association s session with the ex
pectation of railroading or bulldoting the-n
through. The scheme was blocked and ihe
two cIhss A leagues withdrew from the
meeting and threatened to recede. The
most important concessions which the
rebels wanted Were sutisi-quently granted
to them, not aa a bribe for a renewaJ of
their allegiance, but becaure the repre
sentatives of the lea-.ies of lewoer classin
cation were satisfied that the em?nied aJ
terationa In the National agreement were
demanded by the change In conditions con
sequent upon the cloe of war be
tween the major lesgues and their
alliance with the minors. The eecret've
course of the class A leaders precipi
tated the trouble. Nor did theJr scheming
stop when they withdrew from tbe meeting.
Their plan was to exclude the Western
league from the concessions they demanded
and there is crood reason for the opinion
that the Eastern leagues had aarreed to
fcid the American aaociatlon In forcing the
Western league from Kansas City and
Milwaukee and making It a )asa B league
The W estern was the only Class A lesvarue
not Invited to participate in the caucua
held In the Bonthern hotel, prior to the
National association's first season. When
the club owners of the Eastern league
and American association went Into
rebellion, nejrotiations were opened with
Mexsrs. Packard and Burns with a view
of enlisting the co-operation of the Western
In the formation of a three-leaxue organ
isation. This failed, but Mr. Burns dip
lomatically made the most of the op
portunity to secure a pledge that In the
event of the withdrawal of the Westers
league from Kansas City and Milwaukee,
It should retain its classification, although
it would be without the requisite population.
That compact, questionable since Its
performance is In violation of the Na
tional agreement, will be lived op to. The
original proposition to Packard atnd Burns
was predicted upon a guarantee to partially
Indemnify them against loss through the
relinquishment of their Ksruwts City and
Milwaukee plants. Arbitration waa
proposed and agreed on subsequentlybut
on the development of the Tebeau In
junction scheme, it was allowed to fro by
default through the failure of tbe American
association to appoint a representative.
The Sporting News' charge that the Ameri
can association acted in bad faith haa
never been squarely met. Arbitration was
agreed on and H. C Griffiths of Jersey
City waa jointly selected as the third mem
ber and Mr. Bryce of Columbus, was
designated by the Western lea rue. In view
of developments, It Is probable that the
Burns-Tebeau coalition was made soon after
the adjournment of the National associ.
ation and Mr. Orlffltha was Informed that
as the dlfferenoea were in process of ad
justment there wcaild be no occasion for
their submission to arbitration Bums and
Tebeau came to terms and the injunction
did the rest.

Golfers throughout the United States
will know whether the United States Golf
association has decided to continue Its
present policy of aloofness before another
week has rolled around, ss the annuai
meeting of the parent organisation ef
United States golf is to be held in New
York City this week. There has been, a
reneral demand that the United States Golf
cssodatJon be made more democratic It Is
now argued, and with much truth and
force, that the United States Golf associa
tion Insofar aa Its name and the score
of Its usefulness Is concerned Is a mere
misnomer, for absolute power Is vested In
the hands of a few. This Is a rood thing
for any given or single golf clnb. but
when it comes to a national organisation
the fact is urged that It savors of down
ngttt oiigarchlsm. The United States Golf
association has developed a remarkable
faculty for taking in the good money ef
the many clubs which compose its member
ship, but when It comes to giving other
than tbe "allied" clubs a voice la Its af
fairs the "powers that be" have proven
to be a different set of Individuals.
Some time ago the writer coram en oed a
series of correspondence with New Tork
and Chicago parties looking to the recogni
tion of the TransmisslBslppl Golf associa
tion by giving one of Its officers a place
on the directory of the United States
Golf association and the Western Golf as
sociations. Over a month ago assurance
was given the writer that Heyward G.
Leavltt, secretary of the Transmlsslsslppi
Golf association would be given a place oa
the directory of tbe Western Golf associa
tion snd last week the official announce
ment was made of this fact
The rorrespondenee with New Tork par
ties has been rather evasive in so far as
returning anything in the nature of a defi
nite reply is coneerned, but two of the
United States Golf associaUon directors
hsve written that they favored the plan of
giving Mr. Lea via a place on the directory
of the United States Golf association.
Whether this will be done or not will be
known this week after the annual meeting
In New Tork City. There are other mem
bers of the Transmlasisslppt Golf associa
tion directory who are qualified to repre
sent its interests in the affairs of the
United States Golf association, but none of
them are better qualified than Mr. Leavltt.
He has been Identified with the Transmis

The worst disease the world has ever known, and the greatest scourgo

this loathsome disease Vill pollute and vitiate the purest and healthiest
blood, and within a short time after the first little sore appears the system
filled with the awful poison : the skm breaks out in a red rash, the
glands of the groins begin to swell, the throat and mouth become ulcer
ated, the hair and eyebrows drop out, and often the entire surface of the
body is covered with copper-colored splotches, pustular eruptions and sickening-looking
sores and abscesses. Many a man has been cut down in

of physical wrecks and chronic inva

Jacob Hlsaemer, a curio collector of
Lancaster. Pa., recently .found among the
effects of an aunt living at Mattersonville
a well preserved copy of the Francis Bal!ey
Almanac, published in ihls rlty in 177?. in
which tha expression, "Father of His
Country," was applied to General George
Washington.
On tbe flist page of the almanac, which
Is printed tn German. Is an allegorical pic
ture of the discovery of America and othrr ;
historical events. At the top Is a winged j
female representing Fame. In one hand
she holds a medallion picture of Waslr.gton
and in tbe ether a trumpet, into which
ahe is sneaking.
From the trumpet iaaue the words, "Tves
Landes Vatei." meaning "Father of Hia
Country-" So far aa known by historians,
this was the first printed appearance ef the
title as applied to Washington.
The Bailey almanac has become a very

copies In existence. One of the few is la
