Much regret haa been expressed among the more thoughtful of the patrons cf the game that th Dee Molnea manage ment haa thought (It to puraue again the policy that o nearly ended the Western league last season. Aggressive base ball la all right, and the public dearly lovea a player who fight ererr Inch of the way -Xr"m the beginning to th ending of the Cnme; but thla does not mean that the public hae any especial admiration for a player who descends to mere rowdyism, aa several of the Dea Moines hunch did during their stay In Omaha. Iexter waa put out of the very first game for quarreling over a decision that wasn't even close; It looked as If he waa deliberately setting an ex ample for the players under his direction, for they quickly took th cue, and each of the succeeding gamee waa marked by more or lees disorder, due to the tactics of the vlsltora. In all but one of the series one or more playera of the Dea Molne team were put out of the game. Umpire Clifford showed his backbone, but this doe not detract from the unpleasant effect such conduct haa. People pay' to see base ball and not wrangle with the umpire. Dea Molnea can play ball, and ahould be able to win games without' such disgraceful ex hibition as those given here, ' Frank Selee ha reached that point whero he no longer feels able to travel with the Pueblo team, but will give it the benefit of hi knowledge and experience at home. The passing of Frsjik Belee as an active factor In base ball will be the cause of much genuine sorrow wherever the game la played. He haa been prominently Identi fied with base ball for more than twenty years, led a championship team In the Western In 1884. when he landed Omaha In first place, and afterward he led Boston to victory season after season for many fpAn Wa 1 n I r (,. rrtiHni,((ni - m.tA.M for the magnificent team now headed by Frank Chance, taking the team when It had been wrecked by Tom Loftu and put ting together the nucleus of the material from which a real champion organization haa been moulded. Falling health drove him from Chicago, and he haa not received the benefit from hla residence In Colorado that waa looked for. It may be that by care he can evade the effect of disease for many years yet; It ts the wish of every base ball supporter In the country that he bo spared for a long time. In Omaha, who'e he was more popular probably than anywhere In the country, the good wishes of many thousands go out to him. Mike Kelly' case I getting a great deal of attention Just now. It has been con fessed by the American association that It sentence of suspension against Kelly wa merely to get him out of that league; a fine admission. Indeed. If Kelly was dla honest enough to deserve suspension by the American association, why Isn't he dis honest enough to be kept out of all? And, If he ts not dlslionest, why should he be given the stigma attached to him by the action of the Tebenultes? Much doubt ex ists aa to the alleged desire of Joe Canttllon to play him at first for Washington, but the answer will not come until the national . board has acted In the matter. In the 'meantime Kelly Is with Washington as the gneat of tho manager and la having a good t(Ae. X ''J 'Tfc.

It I a not uncommon occurrence; seasoned vet erans have a decided advantage over young player In this regard, and that Is What made- Dea Moines appear so much better than Omaha during the gomes. A a mat ter of fact, Omaha will be playing better ball than Dea Moines within a short time. Aa soon aa the young fellows get used to the way of the elder, and get over their nervousness, Omaha will be hack In tho fight, making them all hustle for the front place. Spike are again coming Into the spot light. Down at Vinton park Andreas tried to out down Townsond and only failed be cause the Omaha catcher was watching for - him, and In New Tork By Seymour deliberately Jumped Into Joa Tinker' face at second. It I such Incident a these that discourage people who are trying to make base, ball the most thorough of all outdoor sport. A player who will de. Ilberately aplka an opponent la a mis creant beyond understanding. New Tork was again tried In the balance and found wanting. It was a lamentable exhibition of sportsmanship furnished by the crowd of McQraw supporters when they chased Umpire Emslle to the club house. The Cubs captured the series easily and they raised themselves far above the Olanta In the opinion of the public by the way they behaved. Some Des Moines money was piaced dur ing the week that Omaha would never aee fret place again this season. Just to show '.he kind of people that support the rowdiest :enm the Western has seen since Jimmy Manrlng headefl his aggregation of man dators back In 131. , Omaha will be at home next Sunday to lath with Pueblo. It will bo the first of a limK series of homo games, a welcome an nouncement for the bugs, who are anxious li see more of the team than ha been possible yet thl season. It must have surprised O'Hagan to see Denver go ahead playing ball after he lumped the team.

Isn't making good on Pap BUI aatlaiata, PAVEMENTS BAD FOR AUTOS Cwsrn f Wh'i Wacot Complain of Condition of Stritta, RACERS GETTING READY TO SPEED CARS Several Real Matches Are Ceatetn lated Over tb Hills aad Curves of the Dodge Street Coarse. Automoblllsts In Omaha have been using their utmost endeavors to hurry up the repair of the streets of the city, which are almost Impassable In many placee. The street repair outfit ha finally got to work and a vast change will be wrought In the next thirty or lxty day, to the great delight of the riders In whl wagon. Re turning traveller comment on the fearful condition of Omaha's atreet and make most unfavorable comparisons with the Cities they have visited. "Can t you take me back home over aoms street that won't bump the life out of me'" said a prominent Omaha cltlsen who had occasion to go to the depot In the car riage. "I don't kaow where I can find th way that I good, for they are all bad," waa the reply of the driver. A first Impression, which must be bad, I also given to visitors who try to take a drive over the streets of Omaha. "The pavements have worn out In the downtown districts and should be re surfaced, and that la asking too much from a small . repair outfit," aald one heavy property owner In talking on the subject the other day. The repair gang la able to get over considerable territory In the course of a day, but Omaha haa miles of atreeta and hundreds of street need repair." The city council wa slow In getting ma terial for starting the repair gang, but now that It la started, Omaha will soon have some passable thoroughfare. " Some complaint Is heard that the gang la working In the outskirts, rather than In the center of town, where the heaviest travel Is. Old Farnam street had another tearing up, at the hands of the street rail way company this time, but that work I now complete and the street Is ready for repaying. Racers Are Oetttft Busy. The rains of the last week have kept the racers quiet to some extent, but several real races are In contemplation and may be pulled off In the next few week on the Dodge street course. This course has Just enough curves and hills to make a splendid course for tho racers. Sunday saw nearly every machine In Omaha scoot ing to the suburbs for a day's outing. It was an Ideal day and hundreds were seen scooting In all directions. Florence seemed to be one of the favorite drives, as tho roads are good In that direction. , Xee McShane ha received hla new high power runabout and will now get busy In getting 'up "runs." Ho has one of those long racy looking grey boy and Is able to keep out of the dust of the best of them. Ben Rosenthal has Joined the ranks of auto owners and may bo seen In the parks with his new runabout. T. B.

Mr. Diet has bought a large Stoddard-Dayton and stopped at the factory to hurry the ear along and to so Uiat It had all th latest fixtures. EXIT THE BIO RACIXQ MACHINES Aoto Palille More Interested In Per formance of Regular Stock Cara. A Chicago dally paper of recent date heads It automobile column with the fol lowing paragraph: "Motoring experts, baaing their belief on the fervent reception accorded the pro jected stock car race and the apparently secondary rating given the Vandorbllt, voiced tho conviction that struggles be tween specially constructed car of ab normal horse power are doomed to wano In Interest, while' battles for blood between tho standard machines such as the aver age autoist cares to drive will grip the public fancy with Increasing strength." F. U Smith of the Old Motor Works, Lansing, Mich., commenting on the article, said: "When the Vanderbllt race was over wo were confronted by the question, .What doea a victory In such a race prove to the buyerT If stock cars were contenders the result would be distinctly practical. The Oldsmoblle touring car, such as may be procured from any of our agents, has the greatest number of road records of any American Car, but In few Instancea were these records race ovrr specially prepared tracks. The value of Oldsmoblle records lies In the fact that they showed what we call the 'readability of our cars. For In stance, the recent race from Los Angeles to San Francisco with another stock car for $3,000 a ride was a perfect demonstra tion to any Oldsmoblle owner of what our stock cars possess In the way of strength of construction, adaptability to any and all road conditions, durability and perfect con trol. The race had been postponed from time to time because of the terrible road conditions, which Included mountain climb ing, river fording and the negotiation of tho fearful adobe mud of the Mojave desert. Despite the numerous postponements, the roads had not Improved when the race was finally run March 28, and the time limit of forty hours was declared off. To give an Idea of what that means I need only say that the Oldsmoblle driver had previ ously made the run In some thirty-three ' or four hour' but the y " won ,he bl purse his time wa over rorty-six hours. I believe that by next season, at least, we may all say with tho writer of the article quoted: 'Exit the racing car. enter the Block machine.' HAS Ft!

Is hanging on the front gate, looking down the road toward town. Section 8. When a wagon la sighted ahead the autoist will stop his machine a half mile distant, approach with cigars, a bottle and white flag, and in cose the man on the seat remains cold the autoist will signal the driver, who ahall approach with a hand-painted mirror for the wife and toys for the children, and In the event that none of these avail the autoist shall return to the machine and start ahead at full speed and tilt and kill as many of the contents of the wagon as is consistent with the horsepower of the machine. Section 9. The touring machine shall change color with vegetation, aocordlng to the season. In order that they may be rendered as Inconspicuous as possible. Dur ing April and May they shall be green, to mutch the grass; In June they shall be golden, to match the wheat; In July and August they shall be pale grny, to match the dust that covers everything In the country; In September they shall be green again, to match the corn: In October they shall be red. to match the sumac; In No vember they shall be yellow, to match the f umpkln. and in December white, to match he snow. The reading of the amendments was punctuated with guffaws from all parts of the chamber and when they wer put they were carried with a roar, but Speaker Shurtleff thought the fun had gone far enough and declared them lost.
