TIIE OMAIIA" DAILY BET!: SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1004. SP0RTIN6 GOSSIP OF THE WEEK Jnst to show jrou. Omaha fell a victim to the reoresnlred flloux, lotting three imn on the horns rounds, and somewhat Justifying the aus iceatlon made In this column laat wek that Sioux City would prove a tough customer. All three of the game ahould have been won easily by the home team If Juat a little bit Of base ball playing had been Indulged In at the right time. Failure to hit prop erly was much responsible, but some wooden-headed playing had also a great deal to do with It. This la one of the case where the error that show In the score are not nearly ao costly as those that -do not show. Dolan and Howard are about the only members of the team who did not contribute In some way to the dumb work that sent Captain Tom Fleming away frm here with three of the prettiest scalps he ever carried. Howard's play all through the week, and particularly one the Fourth of July, was of the sort worth going miles to see. He covered just about double the amount of ground looked after by second basemen as a rule, and did It well. He was also something of a terror at the bat and teems to have finally come out of the dream he has been nursing during a great part of the season and made up his mind to play ball. Dolan was badly handicapped by his bad leg, but It didn't affect his head, so that while his work was not of the bril liant sort that has endeared him to the OmahA fans, l - d'dn"t get Into the wlerd display of hai5.u base ball offered by the Others. Even Old rellaole Johnnie Oonding forgot to cover he bag once, being so In terested In watching Howard make a light ning pickup, and Bchlpke run away from the ball. Instead of fleldlng a man out at first. These two plays came one after the other and gave the 8loux two runs that iiade twelve Innings necessary. It ts fortu nate that these things do not come often In a season. Noll her Gondlng nor Schlpke If likely to make the same mistake again Curing their ball-playing career. VTeleh, Howard and Miller did all the hitting for the home team during the week, although Oonding and. Dolan put (n a few punches. Schlpke couldn't locate he ball at all. and went through without landing a safety. Carter got but one, and lie sneaked that In on Pop Kyler at Denver. At that the team batting average suffered by but little. In the fleldlng department some changes are also noted in the indi vidual work, but the team average Is still maintained at the previous figure, which I a very good one. Jack Thomas holds onto the Iff per cent he has exhibited for the fourth successive week. Here are the figures: FIELDING AVERAGES. . ' ' ' Last A. E. TC. Av.

Tom Fleming has now gotten to gether the swiftest bunch Sioux City ever had on the field, and, barring a little weak ness In the pitching line, his team Is as good as there Is In the league. His out field Is one of the strongest ever lined up In the west. Lawler Is probably the fastest splinter In the league, and the ground he covers In left Is something to wonder at. His throwing wing Is a little to the bad. though, but he hits like a fiend and runs bases with a dash and daring that is delightful. Fleming Is an out fielder of experience and ungues tloned ability. and Metcalf covers lots of ground. Is a sure catch, a fine bat ter, and throws better than any outfielder seen on the Omaha grounds this season. Kelly Is covering third buss In fine form, and "Dummy" Fremer Is a wonder at the shortstop's position. Moryott Is a steady second baseman, and Messerly ranks well with the men who guard first. Both the new catchers appear to understand their business, and there Is no reason why the Sioux should not be in the running from now to the finish. The Dee-Glass-Andreesen Hardware com pany's Originals, whose organisation dates back to 1892, when Fred Goodrich, Harry Miller and Fred Knickerbocker put the club In the field, la now In the middle of Its eleventh continuous season and un doubtedly faster than In any previous year. The batting and 'fielding averages of the team to date. Including the two games with the Omaha club, are given be low. Early games and lack of practice in early part of the season tend to lower the averagea, which, however, are getting bet ter with each game, as the regular prac tice nights find all the players hard at work and anxious to better their standing.

The ensy victories at Denver and Colorado Springs on Friday by Omaha and Dea Moines Is surely a good indica tion. If these teams can secure an even break on the Mountaineers' grounds. It means that the leadership will surely change very soon. Omaha hna a big con tract, playing eleven games, although' the schedule calls for but eight. This will clear' up most of the postponed panics in that territory. St. Joe has clumped for some unaccountable reason,. It may be that the Chamberlain outfit was going too fast, but' It didn't look that way to an outsider. The Tralnrobbers are a fin Or Wet weather put a damper on sport dur ing the last week. Sometimes a recess of short duration is a good thing In sports just as In business. It gives the partici pant a time for thought and recuperation which so often Is Just the thing most in need when one "ts off watch," as the say ing Is, from overplay. Then, too, the player enters his game with renewed energy and a great deal more seal and interest after a spell of rest. The gen eral effect; therefore. Is to lend a stimulus to the player and the game proceeds with new Impetus. Soggy country roadu are no roads at all when It comes to autolng. To be sure, some of the more ambitious dealers will tell you otherwise, but for one who has tried to weather a mixture of gumbo and water there Is no need for further argu ment The chug of the tonneau car has been noticeable by Its absence during the last few days. Even the asphalt of the city has proved not overlnvitlng to the en thusiasts of the horseless vehicle, and few if any pleasure parties have braved the clouds and mist. Friday turned off fair and with a tendency to coax many from their places of retreat, but not by any means the' number that responded to the fair days of June. The Field club golf committee Is well satisfied with the recent competitive games played with the cracks of the Country club, in which the former won out. Not only from point of victory, but because the results developed -much-good material which heretofore has not stood In the limelight to any marked degree. Among those who promised to come to the fore ere the seaiion is on the wane are Henry F. Clark, Jr., J. B. Porter. G. D. Thomas and P. C. Davidson. At the Field club links Dr. Sumney dls tlnguished himself last week by covering the Inside course of nine holes in thirty seven strokes. This number Is four under bogey, which is forty-one. Miss Elsie Duncan contributes the fol lowing paraphrase In celebration of the Win ton: Oh, young Lochinvar Is come out of the west. And In all the wide border hie Winton was best. Unweapned he was, and chauffeur he had none; He ran It blmself and he traveled alone. So fearless in running a gasoline car. Have you e'er heard tne like of the young Lochinvar? 1 He used not his brake, and to turns gave no heed, . . . But uphill and downhill be went en high speed: Tet e -r n slowed up at the Netherby gate The bride had consented, the gallant came ate; . . . For a laggard In love, and a dastard In war Was to wed the fair Ellen of young Loch invar. 1 He entered the Netherby hall with proud mien. The wedding guests sniffed as tbey smelted gasoline. Then spake the bride's father, both hasty and rash, While the poor craven bridegroom Just twirled his moustache. Oh come ye for war now, or come ye for weal. My Lord Lochinvar, In your automobile? I long wooed your daughter, but you did aemur: Tou said I was naught but a common chauffeur. And now 1 am come In my Winton mo bile v With this lost love of mine to tread but one reel; There are maidens In Scotland more lovely by far Who gladly would mate with the Lord Lochinvar. The Bride took the goblet and offered him drink. The knight gulped It down without Stop ping to wink. She loosed up to blush, and she looked down to sigh. With a smile on her lips and a tear In her eye. He took her soft hand ere her mother could bar '"Now treaa we a measure," said young Lochinvar. (He had not stopped his engine, but left It to race) And now as be danced with most exquisite grace The bridegroom did fume, and the father did fret. While the mother looked frowningly through her lorgnette, And the brldestnaldens whispered "We're better by far To have matched our fair cousin with young Lochinvar." X clasp of her hand and a voice In her ear. And they reach the hall door, the machine standing near. He lifted her in and he sprang to her aide. He reached for the throttle andopened It wide. "She is won! for my Winton means forty an hour, Aht There's none can catch up with my tweniy-norso power. There was mounting 'mong graemes of the metneroy cian, Forstern, Fenwlcks and Musgraves, they rode and they ran: The whole of the country for miles they uia scour.

Moths by hundreds of thousands poured down on the northeast section of Fhlla delphla, a few days ago. They invaded Ice cream and beer saloons, drove out oc cupants, extinguished arc lights and stopped trolleys. Kensington, Talcony an ITnnkford looked as though in a snow storm. Thev came from the crutt In rlnnri-t Joseph Miller of Palmer street was walking down Kensington avenue. "I'm shot," he cried, and fell over. He was taken to hospital, and a surgeon pulled a moth out ofhls ear. The insects flew with great speed. Ous Dangulsse, a resident of Portland, Ore., was brought before Justice Hoyne of the municipal court charged with III treating his wife. The evidence showed that he had choked the woman brutally. The court directed Officer ooets, an Im menseiy powerful man, to choke the pris oner in order that he might have practical knowledge of how his wife suffered. The officer obeyed with a will, holding . the wife tbeater until the brutal fellow be came limp. Then Justice Hoyne sentenced him to thirty days In JalL Edward Ban pre, aged 28 years, who claimed to be the Wiliest and most evenly proportioned man in the world, died of a hemorrhago in an ambulance on the World's fair grounds while being taken to the emergency hospital. Baupre had been in St. Louis but a short while, and since his arrival had been employed as a side attraction at Fairyland, on The Pike. Baupre was eight feet, two and one-half Inches tall and weighed In the neighborhood of too pounds. He was of Canad'an birth, the eldest son of a family of giants. As a result of tha recent Turkey creek flood at Kansas City the drug store and paint and paper bouse owned by B. F. Shouse, Southwest boulevard. Is Inhabited by snakes driven there by the water. A water moccaaln, whose bite Is said to be as deadly as that of a rattlesnake, was killed In the store recently. . The snake was found hidden In some wall paper and It was only a chance that no one was bit ten before the snake was killed. Miss Ray Hlctges, a young woman employed In the store, was working among the rolls of wall paper when another water moccasin stuck Its head from the paper almoat in her face. She called for aaslstance and the snake was killed. Mr. Shouse Is over hauling his stock since that time In search of snakes. He says that' the snakes en tered the store wheen It was flooded and appeareed to find an agreeable abode In the rolls of wall paper. . The fotowlng story cornea from Russia, where, of course, yellow journalism is unknown. It is, moreover, printed in the Novoe Vremya, which Is as conservative sheet as one would want to read. It concerns a girl or II, named Llsuba, liv ing In Vladlcaucasus, who la said to pos sess' radio-active qualities. She has been trying to earn her living as a servant. but has been dismissed from every situa tion she secured on account of this un happy endowment Every object ahe ap proaches Is set In motion. Plates on a dresser rattle, linen hung out to dry falls on the ground, bottle rise from the table and are upset. The general condition of the girl Is normal; she la quite healthy, free from any nervous trouble, and dis posed to regard her magnetic powers as a huge Joke. Her parents, however, are In despair about her, as most of their (neighbors declare that Usuba Is pos sessed by evil spirits. The local doctors have studied her case without being able to soolve the enigma, so the unfortunate child will shortly be sent to St. Petersburg, to be dealt with by specialists. The ac count given In the Novoe Vremya reads like a page of Hans Andersen, but the truth of the details Is vouched for by Its accredlteed correspondent at Vladlcaucasus. The baby carriage containing Emily, the C-month-old daughter of Mrs. Henry Herb of New York city, wss demolished by a tie which fell from the elevated railroad on the car tracks on Third aVenue.
