SPORTING GOSSIP OF THE WEEK
"They're oft'."
Omaha at Colorado Springs; Des Moines
at Denver; 8t. Joseph at Sioux City; th
man who can name the three winners of
today games will he given a seat In the
grand stand a week from today for cents.
But never mind that; It Is the day we have
been watting for In the west, the start of
the bob tailed pennant race, and It will go
a long waya toward determining what
several of us have been busy for the last
few weeks trying to figure out the relative
playing strength of the teams. Following
the dope, the race ought to be Denver,
Omaha or Colorado 'Springs, Des Molncs,
8t. Joseph and Bloux City. But there's
one beautiful thing about base ball, and
that la Its uncertainty. Denver may not
have the smooth sailing the apparent
Strength of the team Indicates; Omaha Is
sure to be stronger after the season has
advanced a little and the new men get ac
quainted with each other and the young
atera pick up some of the points In practice
which they now have merely In theory.
This Is true of the other teams of the
valley towns aa well, for the weather has
been such as to almost entirely preclude
practice during the training season, and
the men know a great deal more Just now
of each other's prowess as card players
than as ball players. Warm weatlur
and actual experience on the field will
remedy this, and the end of the first
month ought to see a great Improvement
In the work all around.
Omaha will open In Colorado Springs to
day with a team more than twice as strong
aa the one that started the season at
Denver last year. To begin with, there
are no dissensions among the men; each Is
full of the Idea of playing ball for Omuhu.
None of them has reached the age where
he must be nursed In order to keep In the
game. And not one has a private grievance
against the management on which to pred
icate his poor work in the field. Just what
an advantage this Is can be understood by
those who are familiar with the sorry
showing made by Omaha In the field last
eason. The default wast duo entirely to
the Indifference of veteran players on
whom Tresldent Rourke had relied, and
Whose defection was the more Indefensible
because they had been the recipients of
favors extended by the management. Such
conditions do not now exl.it. The team,
composed almost wholly of young players,
Is thoroughly united and has but one ob
ject In view. Dolan and Miller are the
only men on the team who are really en
titled to the distinction of being . called
veternns Gond!ng Is an old head, but Is
younger In the game than either. Carter
and Thomas have practically learned the
ame with Omaha. Schafstall and Com
panion are seasoned pitchers, but from
there on the team Is of young men who are
Just heglnnlr.x their course In higher base
ball. Downs and Shlnke promise very well
in their respective positions, and Howard
Is a fielder of ability, though lacking In
experience. The pitching staff Is still an
unsettled problem. Llebhardt will undoubt
edly make good. Root, although suffering
from a sore shoulder muscle, gave evidence
ot great ability during the practice season,
and If his arm gets right, will be of much
ervlce to the team. Henderson Is thought
to be better than last year, and may do.
McCarthy looks well, but hasn't had a
chance yet to show what he can do In real
work. Tiy the time Brown gets out of
school the ability of the other pitchers will
be very well established, and Rourke will
have a line on what he needs to. do.
Brown, by. the way. took a hard fallout
of the' (Cedar Rapids team of the'Three-I
league at- Ames (net week, winning his
game handily, and making the leaguers
look like amateurs at the bat. All In n,
the outlook forX)maha Is decidedly good
Just at present. Rourke has a fast fielding
team, and one that can bat more than
twice as hard as the team he started with
last year, so his chances for the cellar
championship are not very bright.
Out In Denver the) question ti whether
the game will he given proper support by
the public. Some of the fans are worrying
because they are not In one of the big
leagues, but this has been chronic with
Denver from the very beginning, and the
chances are that the grandstand at Broad
Way park will be well filled with home
i ;
rooters everytime the gates are opened,
while the home knockera will be uptown
talking about the days when Ous Dundon
and "Denver" Jones were members of the
team. When Denver has sent as may play
ers Into the big league aa Omaha or St.
Joe they will be used to the change out
there and get willing to give their atten
tion to the boya who are coming up.
Here In the valley the people are aa much
Interested In the game as ever, and It will
be funny If the river teams do not get
splendid support from the public. Eloux
City has always been a good ball town, and
with the team, aa now, in the hands of a
popular management, the patronage is sure
to be big. St. Joseph has never been noted
for large attendance. but the loyal fans
there go steadily, so that the team haa
always paid. Dea Moines Is good and the
patronage there doean't depend on the posi
tion of the team In the standing table.
Omaha haa never failed to give profitable
support to a deserving team, such as It un
doubtedly has this season. The Interest
haa been shown by the crowds that have
turned out to the practice games this
spring, 'thousands of fans defying the cold
wave while they watched the half-froien
players chase the ball aoross the field. This
la a glorious promise for the summer time
games.
Speaking of attendance, published figures
still point to the fact that Ban Johnson has
his course marked out for him, and with
out his needing to Insist on a fus wltlj the
National, either. In every one of the towns
where two teams are maintained the Na
t'cmal ha rut'lrawn tlm American, and
from appearances the popularity the
Johnsonltes enjoyed during the early
season's of the invasion of the National ter
ritory bids fair to be transferred to the
National. This Is particularly true In New
York, Chicago and St. Ixnils. In New York
35,0"0 were out to see the opening National
league game; In St. Louis 22,OnO went out
to see Charlie Nichols' team In Its first
game, and while the Chicago opening was
under bad weather conditions, the welcome
Selee's team got was such aa to c!,'' color
to the Impression that Comlskey has lost
his hold on Chicago's great heart. One
potent factor enters Into this state of
affairs, and that Is that in each city the
National appears to have the better team
of the two. NJchols easily demonstrated
the fact that his team Is better than Me
Aleer's at St. Louis. But, no matter why,
the National Is regaining Its former popu
larity, and the best sign is the turnout of
the people to the parks. It la most encour
aging to those who are Interested In base
ball to note the support the game la getting
from the public Just now.
prise beauty of the American association
and a season without a glimpse of his
handsome phlx would be blank Indeed for
the patrons. About the time Hoggy was
making np his mind that he couldn't stand
It, Charley Jones came to himself, and
decided to report to Comlskey. He was
the last of the rebels and held out aa long
aa there was any chance of getting a
salary from John T. Brush for doing noth
ing; It was at last made clear to him that
Brush couldn't pay him unless he did It
In some underhand way, and Brush Isn't
giving away money this season, so Jones
Is again with the White Sox. Another
thing that helped him come back was that
"Denver" Jones Is making good with the
stick. In the field and with the people.
The advent of Ous Dundon at third brought
George Davis Into the fold, end the one
Jones fetched the other, so that Comlskey
really got four star players Instead of two
when he concluded his Denver deal.
Brooklyn established the fact that Sun
day ball could be played on one Island as
well as the other, and the rest of the
season will see considerable change In the
dates of the National schedule In Tebbltt's
town. Now,, when the good people of
Philadelphia and Boston are Introduced to
the pleasures of Sunday base ball, the
apotheosis of the fan will be almost complete.
Western leaguers are doing remarkably
well In the big leagues Just now. The
roster of transplanted players from the
Western was not very extensively added to
this season, but the few who did go ovef
have done exceedingly well. . McPherson,
who was with Milwaukee last summer,
pitched a flfteen-lnnlng 1 to 1 game for
Philadelphia against New York one day
last week, and "Denver" Jones won a
game tor Chicago from Cleveland by his
heady base running, and got all sorts of
newspaper praise for doing It. Ous Dun
don has had many compliments from Chi
cago r'iple and Is looked upon a&'being
the goods In the Comlskey camp. Frank
Owen has been bad enough to lose both
games he pitched for Commy'a crew, and
MordecaJ Brown lost Ills game for Selee's
hunch against Cincinnati, but these pitchers
will show right before the season ends.
Jakle Welmer did no better than Brown
against the Reds. Doolin distinguished
himself the other day at Philadelphia by
chasing Muggsy McQraw off the grounds
and Stone won a game for Milwaukee from
Louisville, so, all together, the former
Western boya are doing right well. If
Bill Rourke's hopes are not blighted, he
will have at the end of the present sea
son a couple of players to be added to the
Western colony In the big league circles
George Hogrlever couldn't endure the
Idea of seeing another man working In the
sun field for Indianapolis, so he had
long heart-to-face talk with Phillips Just
before the game began on opening day, and
aa a result was found In bis old corner
when the gong tapped. Hoggy Is the

Every little incipient bunch of sunshine
that has had the temerity to show Its head
for the last two weeks haa been a signal
for a concerted announcement on the part
of the sporting fraternity that at last
spring had actually arrived, and that all
sorts of things mlglH be scheduled with
entire safety and propriety. And Just so
often have those same prophecies been
dashed and blown and frozen and soaked
back Into the tall timbers, and the game
of Impatient waiting necessarily continued.
Pa Rourke's going away with his company
of hall toppers has caused aa many a heart
ache aa has tho bad weather, but, like it,
cannot be helped, and meantime, until the
opening of the season here the "th of May,
the fans are appeasing their base ball ap
petites with the games of the leas preten
tious fry In the persona of the local ama
teur teams. And, by the way, while these
same amateur teams may not have the
glamour of Pa's name written on their shirt
fronts, or belong to any league, they have
and will put up a quality of ball that would
make some of the best of the paid players
whip up some to go by them. It Is a fact
that the Omahans gave the Armours a
hard throw down when they crossed bats
on the Vinton street diamond the other
day, hut It Is also true that that game was
the first one the pork packers had played
this season, and even at that, with a little
more head work displayed, they would have
given the leaguer a good, stiff run for their
money. Adams, the Armour pitcher, Is a
youngster, but he Is a husky one and hag
some curves that puzzled the best of them.
Withers, who pitched the first half of the
game. Is a boy 'In the same class and can
pitch winning ball when he gets the cold
of winter out of his business arm. Tonne
man and Finley are two other' good men
on this team who might be very easily de
veloped Into league timber. O'Keefe, their
first base man, accepted eleven chances
In the game, with Only one error, and that's
a better record than many a. good league
player averages. The Lee-Glass-Andreesen
ririmlzatiin Is nlrr. a strong one, as the
game wiyi the Armours yesterday showed,
and so Is the Council Bluffs team, the
Coronas, the Nonpareils, the Crelghton col
lege and half a dozen others that might
be named. While there Is no combination
or league of the amateur teams, the man
agers of most of them have gotten together
and arranged for a number of regular
games during ;he summer that will serve
to create a healthy rivalry and provide the
fans with their favjerlle " entertainment,
dished up In hot doses during the time tint
Pa's pets find It necessary to be out of
town.
These are red letter days, at the Field
club house r.nd grounds and no mistake.
For weeks past every bright day has seen
numbers of the members hanging around
the vicinity with a longing look In their
eyes, sniffing the air and covertly wlshng
for the openng. The work that has been
going on In the line of Improvement and
change Is now well nigh completed and Is
assurance of the fact that the coming sum
mer will be the most notably successful
and pleasant In the history of the organiza
tion. The Field club is essentially a golf
club, In so far as the preferences of 90 per
cunt f the members go, and that being
the case, It Is natural that the most exten
sive Improvements made have been on the
golf course. The work has been done under
the special supervision and direction of In
structor Christy and It Is not a vain boast
when the members say that they now have
one of the finest courses In this part of the
country. It measures eighteen holes, as
formerly, but the rearrangement has added
seventy-seven yards to the length of it,
and each half, or nine holes, brings the
player back to the club house, which Is
desirable and convenient for a variety of
reasons that the members are quick to ap
preciate. The play Is now around the field
Instead of straightway across It, as before,
and the outaHfy course Is 3.159 yards, bogey
forty-three, while the in course Is 2,633
yards, bogey thirty-nine, making a total
play for the eighteen holes of S.847 ' yards,
with eighty-two bogey. The old dirt tees
have been done away with and turf tees
made that will be conducive to much better
scores. New tee boxes havabeen made and
each bears the number of (Tie hole, the d's
tance and bogey, so that there can be no
mistakes or tonfuBlon In this regard. Mark
ers have been located at each 100 yards of
distance and the course been laid out with
a view to the most advantageous disposi
tion of the natural hazards in which the
grounds abound. Another thing, while not
of great Importance in Itself, but which
adds to the pleasure of the game In many
ways, particularly with strangers to the
links. Is the Issuance of score cards, which
offer not only the opportunity to keep an
accurate record of each play, but have on
the reverse side a perfect diagram of the
course In which every tee, hole, depression
of ground and everything elF Is noted. So
golf Is to be very much of an Item with the
Field club this summer.
But that Isn't all. To have everything In
keeping the tennis courts are being given
a thorough repairing and overhauling that
amounts almost to reconstruction. There
are six double courts and under the ex
experienced eye of Mr. Christy they have
each had a brick foundation put under
the dirt,,, so that there never can be any
sagging or unevennesa. no matter .what
weather may. develop. The base ball dla
mond, too. Is receiving Its proportionate
share of attention and will be In ship shape
within a day or two. Interest In the game
la fast cfpproachlng a red hot state and
with their handsome new uniforms, of
which mention has already been made In
this eolumn. the team will look well, to
say the least. Twenty-five candidates ap
peared for practice a week ago and. al
though the weather was somewhat chilly,
all showed themselves to be In excellent
condition, and the practice held was as
lively as If It were the middle of July. A
number of the old university club players
were out, as also were all the members of
last yesr's team, while several new players
have joined the club this year. The first
game of the season was played yesterday
afternoon with the Commercial College
team, and this week a game will be played
with the high school. All candidates will
be given a chine In these games. On
May T the club win open and the real
opening game of the season wilt be played
Reports from the Interstate shoot In
progress at Kansas City the last week
were altogether too meager to suit the
stay-at-homes Interested In the gun prop
osition, and perhaps It Is not strange, con
sidering the fact that the meeting was but
little, if any, better attended by the pigeon
sharps than was Omaha's meeting, held
when the thermometer was hovering
around the sero mark and men's fingers
got so numb that they did not know until
they heard the noise whether they were
pulling the trigger or not. Strange to
say. the scores made were not much better,
either, and the good ones that were came
Omaha's way with quite surprising as well
as gratifying frequency. Billy Townsend
got Into five firsts In one day and others
of the Omsha and Nebraska teams did
equally as well. Some twenty of the local
gun club members attended the meeting
first and last.
The bowling season Is virtually at an end,
Insofar as contests between local teams Is
concerned, and that It has been more than
successful from every point of view goes
without saying. The season has developed
many good ones In this city, and many who
would be If they could, and some of the
scores that have been made both by Individ
uals and In team work compare favorably
with any that have been made In the whnlo
United States. The minds of the managers
of the Omaha association alleys are al
ready big with plans and schemes for the
future and promises are made of some ex
citing events in this line In Omaha before
snow shall fly again. Of course, meantime,
the high rollers will keep their hands In by
rolling a little every day and all the alleys
will be patronized by the unpretentious
bowler who does the work for fun or to
kill time during the summer. But the
heat of the battle Is, for the time being,
past.
The present time is a trying one for the
devotee of the rod and gun. In other
words, he is In the position of what Is
commonly known as between hay and
grass. The law arfd the statute in such
case made and provided, has put an en3
to the hunting season, and the ducks,
Jacksnlpe' and all kinds of feathered and
furry things are free to come and go un
molested. To be sure the sportsman Is
free to fish to his heart's content, but the
only thing that It Is possible to catch Just
now Is cold. So the fisher sits back. nor.
force, and dreams and tells of other days
ana tne good ones that are coming.
The deadlock between Tuthlll and Den
nlson and the Omaha Driving club still
continues with no prospect of an Imme
diate settlement. This state of things Is
largely due to the fact of Dennlson's Ill
ness which has confined him to his room
for several weeks and Incapacitated him
from talking horse or any. other business.
The members of the Driving club give as
surance that the matter will be satisfac
torily adjusted before long, and that the
race matinees that have proven so popular
In the past will be held again this summer
w.th a lot of additional fixings and trim
mings that will make them more attractive
and better drawing cards than ever.

Only those who have experienced the awful itching and burn
ing of Eczema can know how it feels to be consumed by the blis
tering, fiery acids oozing out through the pores of the skin.
There is no other skin disease that compares in severity with
Eczema. It begins as a mere redness or the 'skin, or comes in
little watery blisters and pimples, discharging a thin sticky fluid
which hardens into scabs and scales, leaving a raw and inflame4
surface as they peel off, while the itching is almost intolerable.
Eczema is the most vicious and violent of all skin diseases, ap
pearing in many different forms: the dry and scaly kind with
brownish white crusts, which gives the skin a rough leathery appearance, and producing seme
times painful fissures and sores. In other cases the skin has a swollen, moist appearance, with
occasional profuse discharges of watery matter. But all the varieties and types of this aggra
vating disease are akin and are caused by impure blood and an over-acid condition of this vital
fluid that seem to set the skin on fire, kindling a flame that water will not quench, and an
itching, stinging eruption that lotions, soapssalves and powders cannot suppress. As the
poisonous acias in me Diooa increase me erup
tion spreads and becomes more angry looking,
and the itching and burning more unbeara
ble. Eczema is the commonest of all skin
diseases, and the most aggravating and treach
erous, disappearing at times, then returning
suddenly and in a severer form than ever.
It is particularly bad in warm weather,' be
cause at this season the skin is reacting and
the blood is making extra effort to throw off
the morbid secretions and acid impurities that
have been accumulating during the long win
ter months, and there is an over flow of the
acrid matter andiacid poison through the pores,
oroducine irritation and redness of the skin
and all the terrors of Eczema. Soothing applications are beneficial and advisable, but not
curative, because the seat of the disease is in the blood, and external or surface treatment can
not change bad blood into good blood or purge the system of impurities. Only a blood puri
fier can do this, and while treating the skin the blood must be looked after or the disease is sure
to return when the blood is again over charged with acids.
S. S. S. to purify and cleanse the blood, and some non-irritating, soothing salve or lotion, is
the proper treatment tor all torms ot lczema. a. o. o. lias
made some remarkable cures ,of this stubborn skin disease
cases that had become chronic from long neglect or wrong
treatment. S. S. S. is the only guaranteed strictly vegetable
blood remedy. It is without a single mineral ingredient, but
of medicinal roots that come from the fields and forests or
Nature's store-houses. S. S. S. combines both purifying and .
tonic properties that enter into the circulation and destroy the impurities, and at the same time
tone up the general system. Skin diseases are, after all, only symptoms of impure and
vitiated blood and external signs of disordered systems, and when you cure the blood the erup
tions disappear. x ,,.'.'..
