8 THE OMAUA f-TXIUY VT.V. : SEPTFMnKR 1.". 1007. I I t t t r f v Tim Omaha Sunday Ber OMAHA. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13. Ji7. JUDGMENTS OMAIIA won the Wnln league championship after a finish that came near to betnn hatr-ralslng. Tlire years ago the Itourke fam ily was first at the cloae of a ieaon In which the premier honor wai not warded until the Ust man waa out In the st tame.- In 1K the finish between Kan aa Cltf, Denver, Milwaukee and dmaha waa a close that either of the four might have won first, and Kansas City did get It by reason of the fact that Omaha and Milwaukee divided a four-gama series, whJV- snowstorm at Denver prevented U A other contenders from playlnir. It la ufo finishes as these that make bane ball the treat cam It Is. To the fanatics the cloae contest Is always the welcome one, and whan the home team wins It the Joy Is not repressed. In the Western leasue thla Season just closed has been one of Intense Interest, owln to the fact that thl teams were evenly matched, were capably led and for the most part the ames were clean, manly contests, devoid of the wrangling that marred the progress of the year before, president O'Nell gave us competent umpires, whose work was generally good. Misfortune overtook the corpa. during the progress of the season and as a result rather more umpiring by players than was good for the game had to be put up with, but this was a condi tion that could not have been foreseen by the executive head of the league. Omaha's victory Is decisive, as the team has played mora games, won more and lost fewer than any other. No shadow rests on the championship brought home by Papa BUI and his "boys," and to them the lovers of the sport are today paying a merited tribute of congratulations. Charles Franck, who answers to the fondly applied name of "Buck," haa been the main factor In the victory. His skill aa a base ball strategist has been tested to the limit during the season, and he has , proven himself the right man for the task. Leading a team made up chiefly of young and untried players, he has achieved one notable victory after another until It would h& difficult to select his "on best" game t from the list. Against Mm he has had men of unquestioned ability, such as Holmes and Fox of Lincoln, Kelly, Dexter and Hogrlever of Des Moines, Wheeler of Denver and Drill of Pueblo, each backed by a team of players'more or less seasoned and all fighting for first place as hard as Omaha. Franck has met these men on their own ground and on level terms and has beaten them. His coolness and daring have pulled him out of many a tough ' hole, while hla Judgment has seemed to be almost .prescience at times. He Is a leader worthy of the title, and that he Is to be with Omaha next season Is a matter of Importance, for It means that tho cham pions of 1808 will be bidders for the lead all season. Only four of the team that won the championship In 1904 are still with us. Banders, Dolan, Qondlng and Welsh. All the others are scattered.' These four with McNeoley were the veterans of the team Captain Franck led to glory on the diamond. The others w,?re youngsters, most of them dulntf their first stunt In real base ball, but under the guidance of Papa Bill and his aide the boys are ready for almost any sort of a game now. They will all be Aere next feeakou, suve Ragan snd Autrey. 'VfVlake Ragan'a place Met will come back j&ju Trinidad, where he has been pitching gIVat ball, and King Is already on hand to fill the cap In left field. Verily, It Is a little early to win the 1908 contest, but It surely does look good for Omaha. It Is a cheerful sound that comes up from Nebraska, the most encouraging that has been heard In years. The wall may come later, but Klrg Cole Is looking over his stock In trade with gleeful satisfaction and expects to have two teams of real huskies kicking the stuffing out of the ball before the week Is out. And Manager Eager la hopeful, too, which Is a most encouraging sign, for Eager had caught the Booth habit of talking blue, no matter how he felt. The Cornhuskers ought to be up to the Nebraska standard this season again. The freshman rule that made such a bobbery last season Isn't nearly as much of a bugaboo this fall. The "promising" material of 1906 has been somewhat seasoned, and tho foot ball magnates are that much to th good. Of course, they j would like to snatch some or the good things that are coming In fresh, but they can wait. ' Oeorge Stone's work for the Inst few weeks haa shown that It was not all a mistake last seaaon. Ha may not lead the batters of his league this season, but he will be. well up toward th top, and that helps soma. Oeorge Hogrlever says he would like to play In Omaha. Well, Omaha would like to have him. One thing you've got to allow to Hoggy la that he is always working to pull his own team through. As near as can be ascertained by casual Inquiry, not a dollar of Brltt money was to be found In Omaha last Monday. It wasn't mere race prejudice, either. Now, If tha White Box will only buck up and anatch the rag, Omaha will be so happy that nothing can mar tha occasion. Not even a visit from Tlperlno. It will be noted that Omaha has not a leader In tha bat or In tha field, but has th pennant This Is th best possible ad vertisement for team work. ' Somehow, whit w all feel kindly to ward Lincoln and Ducky, w can't help feeling glad they didn't win that gam at Denver Friday. Omaha can ferget everything else In the thought that Pa's pennant pole will be In commission kln next season. W may as well get used to it, first as last. Topeka and Cooley and Wichita and Issy are headed this way. Another consolation U that w will not see I I mp. mp. Conahan aatn for a long tuna; It Is hoped for never.

STAETS AS EASY AS GASOLINE On Great Objection la Prorea CJroaaiU less aad Other Exhaustive Tests Are to Be Made of the Fori. NEW YORK, Brpt. U.-The test commit tee of the mechanical branch of the As sociation of Licensed Automobile Manufac turers met In Hartford yesterday. Three very Important subjects were under consid eration which will undoubtedly produce aome very Interesting results at the ter mination of the expertmenta now under way. The use of denatured alcohol, which for some time has occupied the attention of chemical experts, has been given a thorough tost by the mechanical branch. At the morning session Irving Buck, the chemical expert of the United Btates Alcohol com pany, who has been conducting a series of tests showing the comparison of alcohol .and gasoline, delivered a lecture on the subject and submitted to the committee a report of the results of his experiments, which proves that alcohol may shortly be a factor In the propulsion of horseless ve hicles. Action was taken by the committee to assist In a more exhaustive study of alcohol as a fuel, and a special equipped power plant is to be Installed. The first experiments will be conducted with the various carburetors which are In use and which will be attached to a Thomas forty horsnpower motor now being used for the exhaustive engine tests at the Hartford laboratory. It Is the' Idea of the englnoers to attempt to adapt the use of alcohol to the present day motor before attempting any experiments with specially built mo tors. At the conclusion of the chemical and efficiency testa on the demounted motor, special vaporizers will be used and prac tical road tusta given. The experiments which so far have been conducted resulted In a reversal of opinions as to the starting properties of alcohol. The predetermined theory that alcohol could not start without subjecting the vaporisers to a heat' treat ment has been found erroneous. It haa beon shown that It the proper amount of alcohol and water be used, that the. motor can be turned over with the same ease as an ordinary gasoline fuel motor. The en gfneers, of tho branch have been endeavor ing through extensive experiments which they have been making to obtain the maxi mum results In motor construction toward a reduction of the amount of fuel con sumed, and some Interesting efficiency tests were conducted yesterday, showing the brake tests, heat development and fuel consumption under various speeds.

The autodrome commission of the Im perial Automobile club of Germany has been Investigating a piece of land near Alx-la-Chapelle as the site for th pro posed motor track. The London Daily Express calculates that 60.000 Americana have visited the Brit ish capital thla season, leaving behind them $T,60o.oio, of which a goodly part waa spent by motoring parties. A postal card canvass of the nonresi dents, cottagers and hotel guests of Bar Harbor, Me., shows that they still are un reservedly opposed to the admission of motor cars to that "resort. A leading munuf acturer's reason for ca tering to feminine taste in the designing of his cars Is that he believes that 7& per cent of high-grade automobiles in this country ar purchased by women.

Some of the more enterprising cltlsens of Royereford, Pa., who have become tired of waiting for a proposed trolley line to ma terialise, are making plans to institute an automobile stage line of their own to con nect with nearby towns. Ex-Judge Dugro of the New York su preme bench, who has Just completed a European automobile tour, says he en Joyed it Immensely, adding humorously that "the roads In bpaln were so bad that they reminded me of home."

Before attempting to remedy a slipping brake by treating the friction surfaces in any one of the dozon or so ways that are recommended It Is well to make sure that there Is nothing hindering the contact of the parts when the lever or pedal is thrown Into Its extreme position. On the plea that the word "automobile" Is a hybrid compound of Latin and Greek, some word purists propose calling the ma chine either "Ipsmoblle," which is pure iaiin, or ' autoklnellkon, whlcn is straight Greek. Along the same line the correct name ior a garage would ds auiotuneil cuiopias. - Portoflno Kulm, one of tho most beautiful resorts nn the Mediterranean coast, has been made accessible to the tourist by means of the motor cm.

The attempt to Introduce taximeter cabs In Rome Is meeting with bitter opposition from the rabbles. They argue that the system will benefit only foreigners, who will pay lesa, while the natives will pay more. "Why should the poor Roman pay the same ss the English and American millionaires?" they ask.

Now that the German government has had auccess with the armored automobile for war purposes. It Is experimenting with an automobile for hauling artillery. It looks much aa If the war of the future was to be a war of good roads and automo biles, because the nation which has the best roads and fastest automobiles will bo better equipped to rush men and ordnance to the battlefields in the shortest possible time.

SOME NOTES BY A NATUBALIST Feathered, Furred and Sealed Hun ters of the Adirondack Grace of the Smnllowa, Hawk aad Heron In Pursuit ot Game. OSGOOD LAKE, N. T., Sept. 14.-Ther are thousands of hunters and fishers In the Adirondacks other than the human popu lation. To dwell upon one of these lakes for the summer Is to see a dully exhibition of the skill with which bird and beast and fish pursue their proper game. Perhaps patience quite as much as skill has to do with the success of these feath ered, furred and scaled hunters and fisher. They are at their business of catching one another much of the day and no doubt much of the night. The deer have few enemies other than man. One hears now and then the cry of the wildcats on the edge of the wilderness, and these beasts still pursue the deer. A much more persistent and annoying enemy of the deer Is the hunting dog. It Is years since hounding was lawful, but It Is still occasionally practiced, and dogs bred for the purpose or born of the hunting race pursue deer night and day If not chained or Impounded. One of tho most annoying Bounds of the Adirondacks Is the nightlong howl of old hunting dogs tied up to keep them off tho trail of the deer. All summer long, but especially from about the first of August, the lakes are haunted by a myriad of swallows In pur- I suit of files. They skim along In level flight almost upon the surface of the water, with now and then an errant dip here, and I there a sudden upward slant In pursuit of their prey. Their beautifully tinted bodies and grace- I fully bowed wings make a lovely picture ' beneath the serene skies of September, ' and to the eye that sees them winding In . and out and back and forth In tlrelnas I flight, a hundred or more together, they j seem to be weaving a web of Intricate . pattern over the whole surface c f the watrr. 1 It Is a belief of the old time that th? swal- . Ions fly low to the water on tho eve of rain, because then the Insect lesve the upper atmosphere. It oft?n happens that these birds skim the lake for hours In 1 calm, bright weather, and when no human , eye can discover a single Insect hovering j near tho surface. i At such times the water Is often dusted for considerable areas with myriads of small Insects, and It Is probable that -the swallows fly low enough tn brush these , Insi cts into the air with their wings, and then xcatch them In their widespread m utlis. It Is noticeable that th? nlgl.t ' hawk, that bird of rare dark beauty and marvellous grace, imitates the tactics of the swallow. The nightliawks ai-pear In large num- bers late In August and divide their time ; toward evening between the atmosphere from fifty to a hurMred feet shove the water and the lower strata, almost at the j surface. In their higher flights they go ' through beautiful evolutions, now soaring with wide pinions, now making sudden as- i ctnts and descents, dodging to right or : left, and all with the utmost grace. I. When they skim along the surface they ! rarely touch the water, and it may be suspected that their great wings sweep ' up thousands of tiny IrsrcU Into the air ! so that they may be easily driven Into the : wide hairy mouth. The beautiful, velvety little cedar aax wing Is an Insect hunter of a different type from tho swallows and the nlghthawks. These Utile birds ar slow In flight com pared with the swallows. They He In wait for their prey, sitting on a tree or a stake Just at the rge of the n ut. r. and making sudden sallies when tl.i-y se an Instct In the air. Sometime tt.ey 1. tit themselves In nildlllgi.t wltU j ' : '" -'ft v j-r- -i-i tiifcinSiiM! m ir -1 n ii sir -------- - r mmmin W. 0. rapidly fluttering wings to capture an In sect that unexpectedly appears, and often they descend to pick a fallen Insect out of the water before a pickerel has had time to make Its splashing leap for the prey. The waxwlngs are so eager In their pur suit of game that they often almost fly in the face of a rower on the lake. Among the feathered fishermen none la more persistent or succesful than the king fisher. He is a mere caricature of a bird, with his great crested head, conspicuous white collar and stump of a 'tall, but he knows his business. Perched on a tree, from ten to fifteen feet above the shallow edge of the lake, he watches patiently for his prey, and when he sees It drops like a plummet. One would think, Indeed, that Ills body was specially weighted for the plunge, so swift and sudden Is his descent. He must play havoc with the population of the waters, for he Is at his task day in and day out and all summer long. One understands why he does' not exterminate the race of fishes when one sees a school of young bullpouts like a pool of Ink a foot or eighteen Inches across and num bering hundreds. Fishing eagle seem scarcer this summer than In other years, but they are seen dally hovering high above the shallows of the lake, suddenly dropping, to rise often empty clawed, and at last, after perhaps a dosen dives, moving landward tn heavy flight with the wet and glistening prey asqulrm In atr. It Is probablo that these great birds, being a fine mark for the reckless hunter, have been largely killed off, or per haps the Increasing number of featherless bipeds that fish the lakes have driven the eagles elsewhere. More numerous than the fishing eagles are the bluo herons, which bocome spe cially active here In late August anil Sep tember, though they are seen all summer long. These long legged waders haunt the shallows of the lake, standing patiently o watch for fish and frogs. Their flight Is one of the marvels of fiatural grace. The long neck Is curved back Into a Z and the legs are trailed nelow and behind, while the great shell like wings now flap slowly, now stand out motionless as the bird soars. The heron, high in soaring flight, makes a hieroglyph of beauty against the still, bright evening sky at the end of a erene September day. An unexpected eight on this lake only a few days ago was the sudden appearance of two feathered fishermen probably from the Arctic. They were snowy gulls of small size and soared and dived and floated within a few hundred yards of a passing ttont. Their stay was short, m t more than forty-eight hours perhaps, and there Is small doubt that they were migrants. From here to the Canadian line Is less than seventy miles as the crow flies, and the gulls no doubt made th's little lake a place of pause and refreshment on their way south from Hudson's buy. They were an angf.llc apparition ',,n helr stainless plumage, and their flight suggestive of tire less grace und ease. Among the amphibious fishermen of the region the otter Is perhaps the rarest seen. His sleek, wet, shiny black head Is a tempting aim to the hunter, and tho ran Is almost extinct In the mnra eniillv n . I cessible purts of the wilderness. As a fisherman the otter Is unsurpassed, and his habits are a delightful study, for he 1s given not only to business, but to sport. It Is the pickerel that makes greatest havoc among the smaller fish of this lake. Osgood was once a trout lake, but trout I are never caught here now. Meanwhile the pickerel have been steadily multiplying for years j ast. When caught and cleaned they betray the fond by which they exist. It is partly weed, but a).-io It is other fish. A small pickerel, welRhliig less thun a pound and half, was found to have In his stomach a partly digested chub, about four Inches long. As pickerel weighing above nine pounds have been caught In Osgood this rummer, it Is plain that much larger tish than the f.-ur Inch chub must help to feed them. There are times when whole sc hools of small flhh are seen to leap out of the water at the same instant, and there Is little doubt that these demonstrations occur wh n a big pickerel is in active pursuit of JK aI r !A r. , . . I jti Scientific Analysis Positively affirms that the alcohol contained in 15 glasses of our beer scarcely equals that contained in one average glass of ardent spirits. Hence a bottle of ripe malt beer, when brewed from malted barley and Bohemian hops like Gondii Peerless IBeeir Is really a wholesome and natural temperance drink (containing only 3 percent of alcohol), that promotes digestion and enriches the blood. It is a thousand times better for the human stomach and nerves than dyspepsia creating concoctions like coffee and pink tea. Dr. Pasteur calls it "a veritable food product," and Dr. Wm. L. Beebee, Surgeon for Jas. J. Hill's Great Northern Railway System, says: "Beer is surely a food, by reason of its ingredients, and its mod erate use is not at all injurious to the health of adult persons." Peerless has attained its commanding superiority because it has been brewed for over 60 years by the 44 Guild Natural Process," and is bottled only at the brewery.
