THE OMAdA DAILY PEE: SUNDAY, JtjyE 20, 1904. IS :.t SPORTING GOSSIP OF THE WEEK , 7 Getting- better, i Even at the and of a bard week ef hard games, the Omaha club shows Improvement In Its work and In Its prospect a We have bobbed up and down against that average mark for so long that we have almost made up our minds that It tan't worth while to bother with It, and now we are headed for a place several notches further up the list. With the fielders working hard and well, and a bunch of pitcher that will compare favorably with anything In the league, Omaha Is sure to get higher, In the standing table, and no one need be greatly disappointed If the team Alls the top place before the end of another month. Hard luck has camped on Its trail all spring, but the hoodoo spell Is nearly over, nd the youngsters who were put Into important positions on the diamond are learning the game, so that the general sum of efficiency Is Increasing with each day, and all tbla can have but the one result, and that Is already apparent. Tapa Bill Is working as hard as any of his men these days, for he Is anxious to make a success this year of all years. He Is doing his best t put the accumulated wisdom of twenty-three years on the ball field at the eerrtoe ef the soys who are Just start ing In, and he has certainly Impressed two or three of them with the Idea that they are In a class where only fast work goes, and where the loafer Is sure to fall back. Right here you want to take notice of the fact that the beJl being Served by the Western league this season Is of the high est and fastest quality. Bloux City Is the only team that has not" been going the right gait, but steps have been -taken at last to put the Indians In good shape, and the shaken ef Friday la certain to put them Into the raee right With this .weak ness removed, the race will be all the more Interesting, for the other teams are very evenly matched, despite the apparent safe lead Colorado Pprtngs has been maintain ing. It Is not out of the questlrn for the Money burners to win the pennant la fact, any one of four teams has a chance at that, but it's A olnoh that the team that finishes first will net have a credit of much over 80 per cent of games wen, and none of the losers Is going to be very far back of the half-way mark. President Kourke has Anally maneuvered the Omaha team Into a fairly good position fn the fight and can now rake some of his opponent and not be exposed to a broad side. He was In a bad condition to start the season, with a demoralised pitching staff and three of the most important po sitions In the field filled by comparatively untried men. Out of his original bunch of pitchers Companion and McCarthy have Anally come around light and the addition of Pfelster and Brown has iven Omaha four as good men s there , . i i irk. ti.ttlltw Af . r mmm iyrQ ia wiw imu.. ' , w v Jn this direction Is certain to be first chop Jlrom now on. In the field Welch. Howard and Bchlpke had It to learn when they be gan, end for that matter they haven't learned it all yet; but they have been apt pupils, and each is playing a game that Is several times over better than when he started last April. Bchlpke Is certainly making good at third and has won a warm place in the hearts of the patrona Ee is quick and accurate and ambitious, and grasps the situation almost as clearly as a veteran. And he only wants to win every frame. He has not batted up to what he ought, but none of the team. baa. How ard went In at second as an ' experiment and has done very well, although he has not completely mastered the science of the position. His chief fault is too much de liberation In starting on a play and he Is a little reckless on baseea He Is hitting well end Is getting better every day as a fielder. Welch was also something 1 of an experiment in the middle field, but he has done remarkably well. He covers a great V denlj of ground for so large a man," and Is very sure on his catch. His weakness Is Pthrowina;. When he gets so that he can elder. . r Older members of the team were slow getting Into form, even after the season opened, but they are all working well now and are certainly playing the game as It should be played. One other youngster should be mentioned here, and that la Spotty Free Be. He has delivered the goods of late In a fashion that Is delightful to the fans and has managed to keep his good eye on the ball all the time, and thus Is any apprehension as to the back stop work removed. Howard was the only man who could do any business with the pitchers Omaha faced during the week and he Jumped his average so high that he is now leading the regular. Joe Dolan had a bad week all the way down the line. Even last Sunday, when everybody was taking a poke at Pop Eyler, Dolan went through without getting his hit Smith and Bobby McHale robbed him of at leant six hits In the three Denver games, but that Is what they are paid for and Dolan had to suffer for It He hasn't fooled away any chances at the bat and will soon be getting In his two or three safe ones each day. His fielding errors have all been made playing ball, and he la not at all discouraged by the showing. Big Jack Thomas and Bobby Carter also suffered because of the pitcher's prowess during the week, in fact It was a bit hard on the hatt'ng all the way round. In six games up till Friday night the team made but thirty; hits, while its opponents made thirty-six. and yet Omaha won half the games. The fielding average for the team shows the customary two points sdvanoe, and Is now quite a respectable figure. Here are the statlstlos: BATfCa.'0 AVERAGES. Last A. B. R. H. Ave, Week.

Omaha grounds. This haa been- rendered neces sary by the unusuaf number of postponed games, due entirety to rain. Double-headers are not popular with players or man ager either, but they become necessary during the season In, order that the sched ule may be played out ss nearly as possi ble, and are appreciated by the public, far they give two games for the price of one. The games thla afternoon ought to get the biggest crowd of the season, for the teams are evenly matched and are playing very good balL Omaha will be represented In the box by Companion and Pfelster, and as It haa been some weeks since either ef these men has pitched a Sunday gam m Omaha, they should be welcomed by a tre mendous throng. Much clamor Is now being heard for the abolition of the foul strike rule, the charge being made that the pitcher haa too much on the batter under the present rules. This la but a renewal of the agitation that has marked the course of base ball since the very first game. Each year some change haa beeat made to put the pitcher at a greater disadvantage, and each year has the pitcher oeme t the front with a aw box of tricks to fool the batter. Fifteen year ago Charlie Nichols and Dsd Clarke each performed the feat of retiring the side on three pitched v ball cm the Omaha grounds, and Nichols did It several tlmea Once; the Kid struck out seven men In sue cession, and he had n foul strike rule to assist him. The four-fed box haa been out down, all the preliminary gyrations bav been, out out the throwing distance has keen Increased and an sorts of schemes aad devices have been Introduced te get the batter and pitcher on even terms, always against the pitcher. The only rule that has ever been p eased tor the pitcher's benefit to the foul strike rule. It doesa't look right to charge a man with a strike when he haa swiped the ball as hard aa he can, but failed t land In fair territory, and yet It la questionable whether the effi ciency of the game will be enhanced by returning te the condition where a good batter can turn off foul after foul until he wears the pitcher down. Just to Increase the number of hits made In a game. Oames are now played in an hour and a half, this- fact alone lending a great deal to the popularity of the game, especially In a city where half to three-quarters oft en hour Is expended In getting home from the game. It enables the gams to be started later and still be finished In good season, an Important factor In the matter of attendance, for It gives the business man a chance to end his day's work snd still see the game started. Other equally potent reasons exist for retaining the foul strlks rule. If the pitcher must be handi capped, let It be tn some way that wlU not leigthen the time of playing the pun. In the meantime, the chief opposition comes from Bam Johnson, and he Is simply taking the other end of Jim Hart's propo sition, ' more ss a matter of American league policy than because he thinks It Is the right thing to do. In the meantime It will pey the younger base ball writers to study conditions before entering too earnestly on the erusade for the abolition of the rule. Golf wss never so popular In Omaha a It is right now. The fad stage of the game has passed, and tboee who tramp the courses now do It for love of the game. And the number of players has not per ceptibly decreased, either. At both the Country and Field clubs the links are patronised dally by men who feel the de lights of a walk In the open, theexercls the little ball gives them and the satisfac tion of beating the colonel or some other old body. And at both clubs the element e inh rivalrv has been stimulated by the presentation of cups that represent the championship, and which are open 10 enw lenge always and subject to general com natitimt nnra each month. The first com petition for these was held last week and brought out nearly the playing strengtn 01 hnth rluha. At the Country club the In terest has been still further enhanced by the patriotism f Messrs. C. N. Diets ana rnnk Cnlaetxer. each of whom has pre sented a valuable cp to be played for during the season, and four ether members of the club have agreed to make similar nreaemtatlftn. rilirlne- the season. Begin ning with next Saturdryr a cup competition will be held weemy St- tne country ciuo, nd It Is up to the golfers to get them selves Into condition. The Bt Joe boys are here and there Is much doing at Lake Manawa these daya The Lotus Tacht dub boat arrived Tues day with the crew and they had hard luck from the start Their first Job was to remove all the special preparation they had put on the bottom of the boat and that took them the better part of the day, as It had not hardened aa It had been prom ised to do In the glowing advertisement On Wednesday they launched their boat and with a corking breese set sail. The Manawa Tacht club boys absolutely held their breath as they saw. the Lotus pick up and go. Visions of a trip after the cup began to loom up In the distant sky. Tho first race was run on Thursday, In a heavy breese that knocked the boats up on their edgea The Lotus commenced to leave the Argo for awhile, and then it was nip and tuck until the Lotus suddenly wen lame, as her hollow mast gave way, and the two parts tried to part company. Up to this time the race had been on such tacks aa the Argo claims to be its fastest and the home feiiows were more anxious than ever as that little boat from down the river had hung en like the proverbial bull dog. On Friday there was a very light breese and the race was called off as the boats could not finish In the time limit of one hoar and thirty-nine minutes. The Argo ran away from Its rival as long as the race was on. It la evident that the Lotus needs wind and Iota of It with a lltUe more if possible. How Saturday's races came out la In another column. If necessary there will be two today, one this morning and one this afternoon. The first one will be sailed no matter what happened -yesterday, and the second one If the Lotus wins a race, as the cup ia to go to the winner of the best three out of Ave. . The Bt Joe men made the fatal mistake of hiding their light under a keg.- They built their boat' to surprise the people here and did not take Into consideration that the rules cenoemtng. handicap j hajl been changed since they were last he, which was some two years ago, and that there are now no handicaps In any class of the In land Lake Yachting association. Up to two yearfl ago a boat had been allowed on minute fat every foot of length eh was shy compared to the other boat, so they built a boat .only twenty-eight feet long, while the Argo Is thirty-one and one half feet This would give the Lotus a handicap of three and one-half minutes, but the time changes and they lost by not asking question. Their boat Is certainly a wonder, but they have but little cbanc of taking the cup back with them. They are already . planning, if they are licked this time, to come again with a boat built up to the limit The sailors here certainly hope that they do, as they have proved to be a fine bunch of men and have assisted In adding to the. interest in yachting to a very great extent Skipper Robblns of the Lotus has started trouble at the lake by declaring that the Manawa has better lines and should beat the Argo. The Manawa crew, to hold up their rep, took up the challenge and de clared that It cannot so It ended in the crew of the Lotus agreeing to take the Manawa, while the Manawa' crew take the Argo, and a race Is to be sailed some time today. It is now up to the Manawa' crew to beat their own boat or, fees up that the crew of the Lotus are better men.
