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:

sanitation, playing ball like a nicely ad-
usted machine, and It Is only because the
other teams have been playing fine ball
that the change In the standing has been
made. 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 general aspect of the pennant race
has changed materially and the promised
scramble for first place Is now well under
way. 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.
But couldn't catch up with that twenty
norse power.

The Beverage of Health
Pure beer Schlitz beer is the best drink in
the world for you.
The malt is a food; the hops a tonic. The
alcohol onlv iu Der cent is an aid to
digestion; a healthful stimulant.
The most healthy nations in the world the most hardy, most
energetic drink the most of it.
But the beer must be pure. Impurity means harmful germs.
That is why we brew Schlitz in absolute cleanliness why we
filter even the air that touches it and sterilize every bottle.
And the beer must be aged. Green beer causes biliousness.
That's why we age Schlitz for months before we market it.
Schlitz beer is absolutely pure; it can't harm you. Ask for
the Brewery Bottling.
