an announcement at any time With tti
pap filled. Omaha will be In splendid shape
for the season, so far a. defense Is con
cerned Pvhlpke Is a wonier at third, snd
Ja k Thoiras Is girg to otn the eys of a
lot of pe.e who t.ni.k they know wht a
P.rt In" man looks like. He is the bst
evr at that corner.
A few word ot explanation should ac
company this exhibit. In tha first place.
Johnny Gondlng was badly handicapped
ail through last season from the effect of
a wrist broken In one of the opening
games of the season. This practically pre
vented him from hitting the ball at all
until Just before the close, of the season;
at one time he was batting down some
where near .110, and It also affected his
throwing. This year his arm Is In fine
nape, and If he doesn't lead the Western
league catchers In fielding this season It
win be a great disappointment to all the
wise ones. He was tied with I.urta for
econd place In the fielding list last sea
son. His hitting will also be more like the
proper thing, and Johnny will bat better
than .KO this season. "Dusty" Miller was
not In the best ot humor last season, not
liking the way he was treated In Kansas
City, and not being entirely satisfied with
the shift to Omaha, and yet he was right
alongside the 0 mark. He will go over
that this season; In fact, his work so far
against such pitchers as Brown and Owen
Indicate that Dusty will bat around ,S50.
"Nick" Carter hit right close to .900 also
last season, and ns he Is bigger and
stronger and faster this year than ever. It
Isn't unreasonable to look for him to bat
better than ever, and this means over the
prise line for him. Downs was over .300
last year, and all that will be asked of him
Is to keep his gait, and there Is every rea
son to believe he will. Bchlpke also was
over the mark lost season, and his practice
work shows that he Is going to do even
better. This Insures at least four .100 hit
ters In everr same, and as nearlv everv
man In the bunch I hitting well up to the
nark, the statement that Omaha will have
a batting team Isn't without good founda
tion. Each man Is better than a 90 per
cent fielder, and this without playing for
records, so that the defense end of the
game Is going to be well taken care ot.
Speaking of defense. Papa Bill made a
wove during the week that looks like a
wise one; he decided to let Plake go, and
play Jo Dolan at short again. Plake is
too slow, with hands, feet and head, and
doesn't sacra to be able to get the play
through his noodle. Dolan Is a veteran
at the position, one of the beat In the
country If he tries, and ta ills present state
f mind la Inclined to do his prettiest.
With him for support Downs wlU rapidly
round to and become what Omaha has long
been looking for, a high grade second base.
nan. He has everything but the fine points
and Dolan can be of Immense service to
him In the way of Imparting useful In
traction. The hole In center field has not
been filled yet, although Rourke and Selee
agreed on terms for Howard's transfer.
Howard Is holding off, but has promised
Rourke that he wlU do business with him
If with anybody, and that Is the best he
will do for the time. It Isn't unlikely that
he will be here, but Rourke Isn't resting
n that altogether, for he la still after a
Vig lesgue outfielder, and expects to make

also In hleh-claftS condition, and his game
Bgair.st the SHerite Indicates that he can
do drat chop work Neither of these men
has ftlt like letting hlmsflf out, on ac
count of the weathT. Uebhardt appears
to be a "find'" of the real sort; he is speedy,
has good control, and is a much stronger
batter thnn the average pitcher. Hender
son has the advantage of another year of
nge, and Is about done growing, so that he
may be able to deliver the goods, but he Is
also held back by the weather, and Is an
uncertainty at the best. Case, of whom
so much was expected, hasn't shown the
ability yet with which he was credited.
Root Is by far the best of the youngsters.
although he is suffering from a sore shoul
der. This Is expected to yield to treat
ment. He has the "smoke" all right, and
If he gets right, be will be among the
winners. Case has not been well this
spring, and his poor showing in practice
is due to his physical condition. McCarthy
shows slgr.s, but his lack of control Is
much against him. Leatherby Is out of
the running, lack of knowledge of the game
in general and Inability to field being his
chief characteristics. Cheatwood would
make a corking first basemen, but Is not
considered a pitching posslbllty. Brown,
who Is still at Iowa college, is giving a
good account of himself there, and expects
to be In fine condition when he Joins the
team In June. Alt this has driven Papa
Bill to correspondence with big league
managers, and he expats to be in a posi
tion where he can strengthen on short no
tice If necessary.
Denver dopes out the most formidable
of all the teams. Billy Ilallman will cap
tain a bunch that hits and fields at a good
average, and will have six of the best
pitchers on paper in the league. Kenna
was at the top of the Western league list
last year, and Cable was second. "Old
Pop" Eyler wasn't very far down, and
Vollendorf and Xewmeyer were both above
the middle, while Lmke, the only loser In
the bunch, was a youngster, and ought to
be twice as good this year as last. Here
are the statistics as gained from the rec
ord, and they are such as should certainly
be comforting to the supporters of the
Grizzlies:

Colorado Springe comes to the front also
with a fine looking team on paper. When
Bill Everitt, Starnagle, Franks, Fleming,
Jones, Swacina and Newmeyer were taken
out of last season's bunch. It didn't seem
that there was much left ot the Money
Burners, but Tommy Burns has enough to
start the season in good shape, and will
very likely make some of them hustle be
fore the race has gone very far. Here are
the statistics as to the men who will prob

In addition to this, a number of young
sters are being tried out by the Saints, and
something Is sure to come of all the effort
that Is being made. The practice games
so far have shown the team to be In very
fair condition for the opening. It doesn't
look formidable In any department, and
still promises good ball.
Des Moines Isn't In very good condition,
being practically without a catcher. Billy
Hotter, who will manage that team, Is
hustling In all directions to .land a sea
soned veteran on whom he can depend, for
his youngsters are not showing up as he
hoped. Otherwise he has a fair team, one
that Is likely to upset any old apple cart
It happens to encounter. Without the
catchers, who are yet to be caught, Billy's
team will line up like this:

Hoffer, who will take his turn In the box
this season, played In the outfield last year,
and accumulated a fielding average of .933
and a batting average of .281. One of his
other pitchers, Morrison, went In for Des
Moines in thirty games, and has a record
of winning an even 60 per cent of them.
He fielded .975 and batted .181 Cushman
pitched thirty-one games for Des Moines,
his winnings being .425, while he fielded
MS and batted .223. Two of Des Moines'
unknown pitchers are Uefeld, who comes
from the commons of St. Louts, well rec
ommended, and Seymour.
Slouz City's team la an unknown quan
tity yet. Manager Jay Andrews has been
busy putting his recruits through prelim
inary practice whenever and wherever he
could find a chance, but hasn't been able
to get hold of anything: that would afford
a real test for the ability of his men. He
is genuinely hopeful thaJie has the mak
ing; of a team that will cut some ice in the
race. Several of his players come from the
Pacific coast and have had much experi
ence on the ball field, but others of them
are youngster who will likely require
much learning. It Is not Improbable that
Slouz City will receive much assistance
from the other teams when the time for
sloughing extra players anivee and the
real weakness of the new team has been

description. It was purchased through the
I rederli kson agency In this city and cost
I4.07J. including the freight. During the
last two weeks seven tf the Rambler ma
chines have been sold and delivered in this
city, besides a number cf Wintuns and
other makes, so that on the whole It looks
as If this were Indeed an auto )ear. One
or two parties are even talking of buying
one of the new auto boats t.iat are catch
ing on in such rapid fashii n in the east, j
but they are as yet an unknown quantity
In Nebraska. The affairs of the Automo
bile club are naturally of a particularly j
roseate hue and no end of runs and race
are being talked to take place as soon as
good weather shall have come. It is a
matter of considerable regret with local en
thusiasts that, owing to his suspension by
the American Auto association. Barney
Oldfleld will not give an exhibition race in
Omaha this summer as had been planned.
Oldfield, who has many friends and ac
quaintances In Omaha, was ruled off the
association's American circuit for having
participated in unsanctioned races at Bir
mingham and Savannah this spring. But
ruled off by American association or not,
there Is only one Oldfleld and It will be
many a moon before a man will be found
who can put a Winton bullet through the
dust at anywhere near the rate of speed
of this same Oldfleld. No date has as
yet been definitely fixed upon when the
Omaha contingent will start for St. Louis
to Join en route the big procession of
autoiets from far and near who will make
a triumphal entry into the exhibition city
on August 10. Nevertheless, a goodly num
ber of them will be on hand when the time
doe come to start and they will turn In for
the trip with the Denver and Kansas City
crowd. The Omahans are only waiting
for the others to say the word when they
will be ready and where the meeting place
hall be.
The Nebraska state Dowllng tournament,
held on the local association's alleys the
last three days of the week, was a profound
surprise to its promoters In the degree of
success to which it attained. It was not
thought that it would attract much at
tention even with the local bowlers, owing
to a combination of circumstances which
looked discouraging, but as a matter ot
iaci, tney ait 100 k noid 01 It as if it v ers
the beginning Instead of the tall end of
the season; and the Omaha high rollers
were not the only ones to get excited over
It. There was a surprisingly large number
of out of town men, particularly from
Lincoln f.nd Nebraska City, who made
try for the prize money. The home talent
was a little too strong for them in most of
the events, but they showed their gameness
and good Intentions, anyway, and in re
turn were given as good a time as tha
Omaha boys could give them and still beat
them to the purses. No record breaking
cores were made, but on the whole the
rolling was far above the average, partic
ularly In the Individual and two-man team
races. The games went off without a hitch
too, which Is quite unusual, and when the
Omaha association gets around to hold its
really and truly big tournament next frill
there Is no doubt but that It can count
on an attendance and success that will
make the ordinary affair of the kind look
like a split frame.

Cold weather has stfll hampered the val
ley teams In their training. Not since the
men got together have there been more
than two or three days that overcoats
could be laid aside with comfort, and the
practice has necessarily been of the desul
tory sort, for the players can not afford to
ri;-k permanent Injury by taking chances
when the air is so cold. Only a few days
remain for these teams to get Into condi
tion for the opening ot the season. Next
Sunday Omaha plays at Colorado Springs,
Des Moines plays at Denver and St. Joseph
plays at Sioux City, and the league race Is
under way for the season of VA. In the
matter of preparation . she mountaineers
have far and away the belter of the sltusy
Uon, and by all indications they will make
matters decidedly warm for the Invaders
from the Mlaaouri valley for the first few
games at any rale. In one way the valley
teams are belter oft than their westers
brethren; should the cold weather continue
through May, the players from Denver and
Colorado Springs will be decidedly handi
capped whan they come down to tha river
to play. Yet It will be a strange ireak of
the climate indeed if the sun lan't ehlmng
warm enough for base ball when Omaha
gets home to piay the opening game on the
7th of May.
The start In the big leagues was made on
Thursday, and Just as a pointer on the
popularity of the teame it may be slated
that three National games on Thursday
drew out more people than four American
games. The difference was 6,iuu in favor of
the National. More people turned out in
Brooklyn to tee the National open than did
In Ntw York to eee the American. Loyally
the opening had a tingd of disappointment,
for Frai.k Owen hist his game fur the Chi
cago Americans. He had one bad Inning,
but that was a plenty, skill, one game
Un t a season, and a lot of Omaha rooters
are pulling hard 10 see Frank do what we
all thick he is capable of doing, and land
among the big winners of the American
league. Frank f e.ee s team lost Its first
ftme, by giving Jakie Welmer wobbly tup
port. Both New York teams started with
a win, and both Boston teams with a lose.
Charlie Nichols got under way on Friday
nd celebrated by outbattlng the litts
burgs, and still losing the game. Nichols
has a bunch of bitters that seems likely to
distribute lots of heart disease among the
National pitchers during the ceml.-.g ta
son. Altogether, the start was one that
forbodeg nothing but good for the game.
Hemember that the game botween
1 Omuha and St. Jucph is called at 1 3u this
I afternouu. The rivalry between these two
! tt-u-m is enough to always ensure a game
! worth watch ng, and ihii tune the exnlbl
! tion ia of espvclal interest, as it will give
; an idea of w hat each team can do in con
test with a team of Its own class. Omaha
people have seen their men go up against
the best the National and American
leagues can offer; now they want to see
them tackle something In the Wes'.ern
league line. For this. If for no other rea
son, there ought to be a crowd out at Vin
ton park this afternoon. St. Joe will be
here until after Tuesday.

This is the season that tests the quality of j-our blood, and if
it is not good, then evidences of it will begin to show as the
weather grows warmer. Carbuncles and boils, pimples and
blotches, and numerous itching and burning skin eruptions will
make their appearance, and are sure indications of bad blood.
If spring-time finds you with impure, sickly blood, then you are
in poor condition to withstand the strain upon the system which
always comes at this time of the year. A failure to look after
your physical welfare now, by purifying the blood and toning
up the general system, may result in a complete breaking down
or health later on, and you will find yourself weak and run
down, with no appetite, and a prey to indigestion and nervous
ness. It is poor blood that makes weak bodies, for it is this
vital fluid that must supply vicror and streneth to our systems.
and upon its purity rests our chances for health. Any impurity, humor or poison in the blood
acts injuriously upon the system and affects the general health. It is to the morbid,
unhealthy matter in the blood that chronic sores and ulcers are due. The pustular and
scaly skin eruptions so common during spring and summer, show the blood to be in a riotous,
feverish condition, as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor or acrid
poison in the blood. A large per cent, of human ailments have their origin in a polluted,
diseased blood, and can only be reached by a remedy that goes into the circulation and uproots
and expels the poison and restores the blood to a healthy, natural condition. If you have any
symptoms 01 baa blood, and
are thinking of a blood pur
ifier, then think of S. S. S.,
a remedy with a long-established
reputation and that
has proven itself to be a spe
cific in diseases of the blood,
and a superior tonic and
system builder. S. S. S. con
tains no mercury, potash,
arsenic or other mineral,
but is composed exclusively
of vegetable ingredients,
selected for their medicinal properties and gathered from nature's store-houses the fields and
forests. The thousands who have used S. S. S. and know from experience what it will do in
blood troubles, and its wonderful invigorating and tonic effects upon the general system, do
not need to be reminded of a blood purifier now, for they know no better can be found than
S. S. S. ; that it does its work promptly and with no bad after-effects. If you are thinking of
a blood purifier, think of S. S. S., which has been sold for nearly fifty years, while the demand
is greater now than ever in its history. No remedy without merit could (xist so long and
retain the confidence of the people. Write us if in need of medical advice, vhich is given

I havs used your S. 8. 8. this spring,
and found it to be a blood purifier of the
best order. My system was run drwa
and my Joints ached and jalnsd mo con
siderably, and I began to fear that I waa
going to be laid up with Rheumatism. I
had used 8. 8. 8. before, and knew what
it was; so I purchased a bottle of It, and
have taken several bottles, with the lesult
that the aches end pains I had are gone;
my blood has been cleansed and reno
vated, my general health built up, so that
I can cheerfully testify to its t irtues as a
blood purifier and tot.!o.
