SP0RTIH6 GOSSIP OF THE WEEK
' ' -
Taking notice.
Omaha has sat up several times during
the iMt few days, and give,n some Indica
tion of more than a parsing Interest in
the progress of the Western league pen
nant rare. The half-way mark la still a
treat sticking; point, but there Is some
prospect of getting away from It before
the, team Is called upon to go away again
for any length of time. The series at Bt.
Joseph Is an Important one In this respect,
and will bo watched accordingly at home.
It Is quit likely that two If not three
double-headers will be played, and It Is
morally certain that Omaha will win a
majority of the series, despite the fact
that Bt. Joe ha been a hoodoo ever since
the league waa formed. The fiercest fights
that have been pulled off on the Western
diamonds have been those between Omaha
and St. Joseph, but Rourke says he Is going
to bust that hoodoo by the same secret
method he used In disposing of Pop Eyler's
Indian sign. The loss of Friday's gams
Is an excellent Illustration of what may
happen In a ball game. Brown made a
bad throw to second, the first miss he has
ynade In throwing to bases since he Joined
the team, and hm result had such an effect
on him that three hits followed before ha
coald get himself steadied again. The net
, ..result was five runs, which proved the
runs that won the game. A good throw
would have caught the runner, and the
game .would have been Omaha's easily.
These things will happen, but the discour
aging feature of the situation is that
Omaha gets th short end of it nearly every
time.
Not much need b said regarding the
trade of Miller for Thlel. Both these men
are good ball players, and capable of doing
splendid work. Miller was dissatisfied for
some reason In Omaha, and would not
play the gam here. His Indifference was
so marked as to lose him the support of
many who had looked on him as a wonder, j
It figured In several defeats suffered by
the home team. At Des Moines It Is likely
that he will do the work he Is capable of,
and then Rourke will be censured for let
ting him go. Thlel Is not quite so showy
a -player as Miller, but he Is honest and
hard working, and knows the game thor
oughly. Moreover, he is interested in
something besides pay day, and will de
liver the goods at any time. The change
will be beneficial to both clubs, for the
time at least, although many Omaha people
will regret to see Miller In any but an
Omaha uniform, for they know what he
can do when he tries, both at the bat and
In the field.
We ought to get a little taste of the old
time work on bases now, with Thlel, Car
ter and Howard at the top of the batting
a t Her fa a inaait, rrlit nnA mnmn ff
Bobby's bunts ought to count for more
than a mere out from now on. It will help
his batting average, too, when the combi
nation gets to going. This is Just a tip to
the catchers who are proud of their throw
ing arms; they will have something to do
in that line now. Thlel anrt Carter ought
to be as troublesome a pair as the league
can boast of.
Colorado Springs sent out a story during
the week of the sale of the Milwaukee
Pueblo franchise to a Pueblo party of the
name of Flnklestein for 160,000. President
Rourke has received no word of any such
a deal, nor has Sexton sent out arpr notice.
The transaction does not become effective
until - next season. As near as can be
guessed by an outsider. It Is merely a
Burns scheme for getting a Vote to cast In
the league meeting lrv support oT-Colorado
Springs, which team is quite certain to be
dropped at ths next seeslon. The Milwau
kee franchise waa tentatively planted at
Pueblo and the Kansas Otty franchise at
Lincoln, and both labelled "dormant," and
without a vote In the league meeting.
Tebeau and Burns were qutte anxious to
give these "dormant" franchlxes votes, but
this was not agreed to and the valley
teams retain the power In the league. If
Burns and Tebeau can get Lincoln and
Pueblo admitted as voting members they
will havo to secure but one other team In
order to absolutely control. But the league
must pass on any sale before the new club
will be allowed to vote, so the Burns trans
fer will bo pretty thoroughly gone Into be
fore the new owner will be allowed to vote
In the league meeting. One thing alone
surprises. That Is the modesty of the
figure quoted. In a country where ciphers
sre so plenty as at Colorado Springs one
wonders why they didn't tack hslf a dosen
more on and make it j0.OX,0n0,000 Instead of
150,000. A man who Is base ball wise would
give one figure as quickly as he would the
other for a Western league franchise at
(1 V I -
It was no bluff that old Jack Thornton
was running. The old spav has simply won
every game he has pitched since he started-
to take his turn in the box.
The regularity with which the two ends
of the batting list alternate In hitting
might lead an outsider to suppose that
the Omaha players have a schedule, but
such Is not the case. If they ever do get
to hitting all in the same week, they will
distribute a lot of heart disease among the
Western league pitchers. Dolan whs the
bright particular star of the team again
Inst week. In six games he accepted
thirty-five out of thirty-seven chances, and
made eight lilts out of twenty-three times
up. This gives him a batting average of
.348 and a fielding average of .946 for the
week, and that's going soms In these days.
The Omaha Infield generally distinguished
Itself, with the sole exception of Thomas.
One hundred and fifty chances were of
fered the Inflelders in the six games ending
Friday, and 140 of them were taken cleanly.
Thomas made live of the ten errors, and
thereby shot a big hole Into his season's
fielding average. Dolan made two errors,
Howard made one and flchlpke two. And
that Is fair work for the Infield, too, if you
please. Welch made, an error In the out
field, but Carter didn't nor did Thlel.
Brown made the only pitching error, and
Qondlng and Freese took advantage of
every opportunity offered them. Here are
the statistics up to and Including the game
of Friday:

be the North Shore cup, open to all players
excepting those who qualified for the cham
plonshlp cup; the Exmoor cup two ball
contest against bogey, partners to be of
the same club; the Veteran cup, open to
golfers over 40 years of age, and the finals
championship cup. The western golf chnm

August 18, at p. m.
And now for MInnekahada links. Five from
the Country club and over a dozen from
the Field club have declared their .inten
tions of attending the match and there Is
a general belief that Omaha will make a
good showing. Of course the course will
be new to most, but there Is still an ad
vantage In the fact that the course is a
nine-hole one and In an eighteeen-hole
match a stranger will get the lay of the
land after the first nine holes. The fol
lowing few pointers will be 'of service to

Built to Rutl
and Does It"
Did you ever think how carefully and perfectly to
Oldsmobile is built to stand all the hard knocks it gets.
- Things happen to it that would put it out of busi
ness if it had even one weak point.
Over big Jolts at high speed, through mud, water
and sand; sudden stops, quick starts, careless handling,
etc., etc.
The Oldsmobile stands them all, because it Is con
structed for just this kind of handling.
Every part is exactly right for the work it has to do
the mechanism is the simplest; there are no delicate
adjustments to get out of order.
It took 20 years of gasoline engine experience to
know how to build the Oldsmobile.
It is as near perfect as any automobile can be made.

The total course measures 108 yards, the
bogey belns; 40 for nine holes.
Last week at the Field club the women
had their turn at the links and finished
up with a bunch of pretty scores.
Mr. Christie of the Field club has been
putting up some dandy play of late and
on Wednesday succeeded In traveling the
links with the low figure of 77. This Is one
above his record. Mr. Christie la capable
of better things than 7( with a bogey of
SO, and with plain everyday ruck he ought
to chalk himself a 6 or 70. In his play
last week with Mr. J. Q. Adams and Mr.
H. T. Clsrke, jr., his putting and ap
proaching was wonderful. Time and again
after making what he considered poor
drive, he won the hole by' an extraordinary
putt. Mr. Adams also Is another who gets
a lower score every time he plays. In
his match with Mr. Chrjstle he lost t
down; and losing 1 down to Christie Is
an honor. But the putt cf the match lay
with Mr. Clarke. That Individual, though
considerably off his usual form during
the rest of the game and losing 4 down
and S to play, had at least one consolation:
he made the longest putt, a distance of
about twenty-two feet. And It was on a
slope besides. Lack? Well, It may have
been luck, hut the fact remains that he
did It and to him all the congratulations
are due.
Last week the women of the Field club
had their turn at the links and put up aa
good an exhibition of golf as the club
has witnessed for some time from the
women. In the qualifying round for a
golf bag donated by one of the members
of the club, nine holes to play. Miss Fred
erick starting with scratch, finished with
a score of 62. Mrs. Dunn was next with
68 and then Mrs. Mills and Mrs. Shields
with 69 and 88 respectively. These four
will play off the match sometime this
week. The following week Is also to
another women's match for the club cup.
Qutte a number have entered and some
Interesting play Is expected, but there Is
hardly a doubt that Miss Frederick will
be the winner. Of course, the cup may
go to another on account of the handicap
ping, but whoever wants to win that cup
against Miss Frederick will have to play
golf and play It mighty well.
On Saturday aternoon, August 4, at 1:30
the annual golf dlnper contest at the
Country club takes plaoe between two
teams, captained by W. D. Bancker and
W. E. Martin. The winners will dine at
the club that evening at the loser's ex
pense. W. IS. Martin s team seems to be
the favorite, although on paper It looks
like an evenly divided match, but the know
ing ones have picked Martin's team to
win. The absence of many of the betit pia-
era from the teams Is accounted for, as
they are playing at Minneapolis this week
In' the Transmlsslaplpp! tournament.

H. B. Fredrlckson haa deUvered to Mr.
C. Edgcombe of Mlsourl Valley, la., on
of the handsome Wlntnn touring cars. Mr.
EJgcumbe made his purchase the Orst of
last week and this makes the second
Wlnton now at the Valley, H. M. Cramer
avlng purchased one of the first 1903 ma
chines which, Mr. Fredrlckson received
last year. .
U. Vance Lkne of the Nebraska Tele
phone company Is now enjoying the first
sensations of owning and operating his
own automobile. Mr. Lane has Joined tho
rank of Wlnton enthusiasts and had Mr.
Fredrlckson deliver him one of the 1904
modeln, with canopy top, full lamp equip
ment, etc.
II. M. Cramer and family drove over
from Missouri Valley Wednesday and re
port the roads In very good condition.
Charles Gorndt, representative of the
Wlnton mechanical department, was In
Omaha a few days this week looking after
the Wlnton machines sold here. Mr.
Gorndt Is known in automobile circles as
one of the best mechanics as well as one
of the best operators In that field of labor.
II. E. Fredrlckson so!d to Dr. Robinson
of- Blxlr a Franklin last week.
Charles F. Farnaro of Blair has left his
order with H. E. Fredrlckson for one of
the Franklin runabouts.
The Wlnton Quad, the new 1906 model re
cently received by H. E. Fredrlckson, Is
receiving most flattering and favorable
criticisms from the, automobile experts of
the city. The mechanical part of the ma
chine embraces numerous Improvements,
one of which Is the starting of the engine
by pressing a button from the seat In
stead of having to crank the machine.
The motor has four large cylinders and
developes twenty-four horse power, which
gives the machine wonderful capacity for
power and speed.
The little Franklin which behaved so
badly at the track last Saturday after
noon Is going to be given another chance
to show what It oan do. Another race Is
being arranged between It and Mr.
Brandeis' steam machine.
W. H. Bodemann, manager for the Lemp
Brewing company, and William Blnderup
of cigar fame made a business trip to
Springfield and Millard last Tuesday In a
Model B Cadillac
One of the local papers persistently re
fers to the man who drove the Brandeis
"ghost" In last Saturday's race as "an
expert from the factory." Mr. Decker,
however, Is an old-time Omahan and has
been foreman of the Powell Automobile
comrany since It started In business.
Mr. Brandeis White Steamer made a
sixty-two mile run with full equipment
last Sunday, the day after Its remarkable
race.
J. D. Hatfield of Nellgh, Neb., bought a
Model B Cadillac from the Powell Auto
mobile company last week and ran It home
overland.
Frank Decker of the Powell Automobile
company made two automobile records
last week. One when he drove the
Brandeis White Steamer ten miles in 15:33
on a half mile track and the other when
he admitted In police court that he had
driven the same machine faster than elrrht
miles an hour on the street. City Prose
cutor Lee waa so astonished that he ex
plained to the Judge that Decker should
be discharged. Charley Crelghton, who
was to have appeared against Decker,
failed to appear in court. It seems that
after he saw Decker's street performance
he put some money on the White Steamer
and did not Ilka to push the man through
whom he got the sure "tip."

Dr. Ollmore was much Interested In the
race between the White Steamer and
the Franklin last Saturday and rather
well pleased with Its outcome. The doc
tor's own White went around for a mile
with full touring equipment and two pas
sengers In 1:40.
Mr. -H. Csffnberg, with his wife and
daughter, ran up to Omaha from Mead
Wednesday In his White S learner. He
visited with the Powell' Automobile com
pany for a short time and ftien made a run
to Bellevue and back. Mr. Ostenberg was
the flrst man In Nebraska to place his
order for a White Steamer.
Mr. J. M. Larsen and Mr. T. J. O'Brien
of the Henahaw made a flying trip to
Blair Thursday In Mr. Larsen's White
Steamer.
The Interstate shoot at Lake OkoboJI Is
scheduled for the first week In September,
and quite a number of Omaha men are
declaring their Intentions of going. Iowa,
Kansas. Missouri and Nebraska are the
states that shoot
SmaU bags. That Is the cry of nearly all
shooters at present, and that will be the
cry till the little quack-quacks are flying
o'srhead A few have been out for plover
around Valley, Neb., and below Manawu,
but there la not much doing at any of those
places, and hunters say that most of the
sport is confined to killing "skeeters" more
than anything else.
'
The shoot at North Platte proved a fail
ure as far as the tower shooting Is con
cerned, and the Omaha men who tried It
have given up all thoughts of following
the North Platte stylo. The tower there
is seventy feet., high, and shooting at a
target from that height Is too much like
work. It Is expected that If a tower Is
erected here It will be a smaller one.
measuring nearer forty feet than severity.
Last week was a quiet one for the horses,
and except for the matinee little Is ex
pected until fall. The plan to get Dan
Patch here has dropped through, but there
are hopes of getting Prince Alert and
Dan R. for an exhibition. Mr. Dunn's Kid
has been sold to A- L. Potter. It Is ex
pected the horse will be taken on a circuit
for exhibition purposes.

M. Porel, husband of Mme. Rejane, the
noted French actress, knew how to touch
the tender chord in his wife's nature when
she was trying reoontly to pecure a divorce
from him. She waa playing In London.
Every morning she received a royal bou
quet of Panama violets. Finally she be
came ourtous and applied to the florist to
tell her whom her admirer was. He cabled
to M. Porel In Paris and secured permJsalon
to tell. When she learned the Identity of
the sender of the violets Mme. Rejane ex
claimed that he was a dear and that it
would be wrong to discard so thoughtful a
man. Then she ordered her lawyer to dis
continue the suit and the estranged couple
made up. Parma violets did the business.

attempt to turn Shakespeare's "King Lear"
Into their language. This, the third, at
tempt will be undertaken by Pierre Lotl,
a noted author. French translations of the
English poet sine the days of Voltaire
have never proved successful, being either
burlesques, rank perversions or too literal
renderings of the original. Shakespearean
scholars will be Interested In the outcome
of the present endeavor, which, It Is said.
has been undertaken with a view to doing
Justice both to Shakespeare and to French
taste. But literary Francs never valued
the English dramatist highly.
QUAINT FEATURES OF LIFE.
Snakes may almost be said to have glass
eyes, inasmuch as their eyes neyer close.
They are without lids, and each Is covered
with a transparent scale, much resembling
glass. When the reptile casts Its outer
skin ths eye scaled come off with the rest
of the transparent envelope out of which
the snake slips. This glassy eye scale Is
so tough that It effectually protects the
true eye from the twigs, sharp grass and
other obstructions which the snake encoun
ters In its travels, yet It la transparent
enough to allow ths most perfect vision.
Thus If the snake has not a glass eye it
may at any rate be said to wear eyeglasses.
Paterson, N. J., has brought to view at
various times no small number of eccentrlo
persons. The latest freak In that com
munity makes his breakfast of a cucumber,
his luncheon of a carrot, a turnip or a raw
potato, and eats a few nuts for supper.
This devotee of a peculiar dietary declares
that he Is not In the least ruffled by the ru
mors of the Indefinite closing of stock
yards, of packing houMs and of meat mar
kets. He never touches flesh or fish, wears
very little clothing and sleeps out of doors
exoe-pt when rain is falling. He looks
strong and well, and asserts that he never
feels an ache or a pain. The possibilities
of human perversity are unaccountable.
Horace Davis, one' of the pioneer flour
millers of California, has aroused great
Interest among farmers and flour makers
by an address to the State Board of Trade,
In which ha said that California flour Is
lacking In gluten to such an extent that
eastern wheat Is being Imported by millers
to mix with California grain. He Is an
authority on the subject, and his state
ments have attracted much attention.
California forty years ago grew Australian
wheat from Imported seed, but later the
