That cannot b truly said of 1911. though. W received a letter during tha week from one of the major league scouts, who says: "This season aeem to be an off on In all of the leagues aa far aa at tendant: and enthusiasm go. It la the am In all of them that I know of. I have not be able to figure It out. Everybody baa a different view a to the cause." No doubt the general laxity In buelnea haa Its effect. Then, In om cases, the public ha had Its hopes disappointed; In others reoords of the last two or three years were so abnormally high that It was not to be expected they would be main tained. We do not bailors and we doubt tf such a belief obtains with any judges of the situation, that this condition Indi cates any real subsidence or decadance In the public's Interest or spirit. In some titles similar complaints have com from theaters. It seems to Indicate a sort of general retrenchment and economy on the part of people as a whole. This, of course. Is spasmodic. Yet, there have been some excessively large attendances at base ball games this year, notably In Philadelphia and Bt Louis, where the National leag-iie team are making such gallant races. Also In Chicago attendances have been good and at the South Bid Park, nearly up to records In a few Instance. Omaha has suffered from this general damper of en thusiasm, to Judge from the patronage and yet the Interest Is lively enough to provoke an unusual lot of knocking and criticising. It Is not a sign of dead Inter est when borne fan knock, but rather of anxiety, keyed up to a peevish stage. Even with our new park, the best In the west and how, a winning team, we are not having the crowds w have had, though the patronage did Improve encouragingly this last week. Des Moines people, some of them, are beginning to realize what It means not to support a ball team. They are sending out ft good deal of publicity about how they propose to have that city declared vacant and put a Three-Eye league team In. That may fool folks who are Ignorant of base bail law. but those who know that such a thins; could not be done this year, anyway. or any other year until the majority of Western league magnatea saw fit, will not te disturbed over it. It has one and one that Is playing good ball, but It has not seen fit to support It and the owner of that team says he cannot afford to keep It there without patronage. It would be an expensive luxury. Des Moines has had on pennant during Mr. Higglns' owner ship. But strange to say, Mr. Hlgglna lost money In Dea Moines the year he won the flag. It really seems, when you look at he faints, that Ties IHnlnm fans Mnnnt plead this ease entirely on the ground, that win not a loser. inomason is giving a line exninition in the art of ball playing these days. At the bat. In the field, on the bases, his work Is sensational. Taking the six games, from Sunday to Friday, he went to bat twenty four times and mad twelv hits .having a percentage, therefore, of .600 and several of these hits were for extra bases and drove in ruas. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, each day he was at bat four' times, mad three hits and soored himself once In each game. H missed getting a hit In but one game; in , another he got but one hit in three time up, In another two In five times and the other three, three hits In four time up. He la the class of the league today anywhere you put him. - Oh, here to old John Gondlng, drink fcer down, drink her down, drink her down, down, down. (Had something to n j ... v kiih uuuuiur, wv iu VU KUU W 1 110 m poem.) John 1 showing; result at Rock Island. When he went there as manager, th team was In the sub-cellar. It is now ut of eighth place and making all tha others above It hard to each. Every team In the Three-Eye Is above .400. and the leader not up to .6U0, so John has aa good ft chanc as any to get near the top. That old head will get there If there's any show. Cook has added strength to hi pitching taff. John, himself, recently won ft gams with two-bagger. doubtless will please the majority of w J to see Bherwood Mages reinstated, ciince hi contrition, his willingness to admit his fault and apologise to Umpire Plnneran' and any other th officials think he should, and pay the maximum fine of $300, It really looks as If th fractious fellow were entitled to redemption. To banish him after that would seem more Ilk persecution than punishment. And that does base ball no good. Magea has learned ., hi lesson, ths law haa . dons its part 1 nd that la all that oould have been ex, 1 yected. HI return will help hi needy team I nd put new life In the pennant rare. t -Those three game during the week' with Bloux City were worth the money. They pre evenly fought from Mart to finish. Th Sioux earn to town on gam ahead of Omaha, were reduced to on gam below Omaha and left town even Ud for fifth place. Taking two out of the three, save the Rourke five out of the last six games played In Omaha with Towns' babes. Ths American association -mealcliie uux rs are beginning early to compound their war dope. Their franchise with organised base ball expires September C. Then, look out. Doe anyone Imagine White Wing Is going to let thing run along as they are? It there len t ft third legal major league In llz, there 1 likely to be a big outlaw at large. With twenty-one successive game at home Pe a Pet ar vary likely to land up around the high mark. Denver haa a good lead, and maybe we can never overtake It. but stranger thing have been done. Of ours, we do not overlook the fact that several teama In between are also playing for the same goal and playing hard. too.

At the Council Bluffs Merchants' park the Council Bluffs Merchants will meet the Council Bluff Rowing association for the first time this year. Considerable rivalry exists between these two teams and a bard tussle will be the result. Nome time ago the Council Bluffs Rowing association asked Manager Olbaon for a date, but they were told to go and secure a reputation first. Now they must have a reputation for they are going to mix thing this after noon for th championship of Counrll Krhffs. The Rowing association haa a few Ic.pen Saturday date. Anyone wishing to airange a game can up Air. tioage at ine boat club. , If Farrell at Co. could buy a base ball supply house fully equipped in every way and send same by express out to Farmer Burns and his bunch, this firm would then piobably be able to meet with the expecta tions of the old king of the mat. This team tried for two weeks to get somebody to back them until, by the request of Wlllard W'Ugley, Raymond Farrell took up their ad vertising proposition and backed them well. Now they have asked for a quantity of stuff that In entirely unneedetl. Because Farrell Co. have stuttered over the prop osition of Investing another In, the Farmer has changed the name of his team to Farmer Burns' Tourists. This I a trick which was entirely uncalled for. because if ever there was an Omaha company that believe In boosting. Farrell ft Co. is cer tainly one.

FIRST HALF 01 DOUBLE-HEADER Stors Aggregat iou Hopes to Reverse the Score of Last Week, Whea They Were Takes Into Camp by Shenandoah. The Mink leaguers are her again; this time they will be represented by the cham pions of the league, namely Falls City. They are scheduled to buck the Stors Tri umphs, champion of Omaha, at Rourke park this afternoon In the first gams of a double-header. Falls City has ft winning percentage of .625 and a lead of over 75 points over any of the other Mink league teama Today they will hav every mem ber of their crew with them and endeavor If possible to land a victory from the Omaha boys. They are well aware of the fact that the Btois bunch Is hard to beat, for that was well proved by th Stors Bhenandoa game. Clausen, their star twlrler, has been resting sine last Thurs day and h will moat probably mount th hill for Iowa. On July 23, when the Stors Invited Shenandoah to play at Rourke park the fans and fanettea turned out so well and seemed so well satisfied that the management canceled the American game in order to play the Mink league cham pions.

Immediately after tha Townsends and Holly ui clash in on of the fiercest bat tle that will probably happen this year. Both teams are going fine and are In the very best of shape. The Townsends will have their whole line-up, th only change being the precense of Dick Kennedy be hind the bat. Moiiarlty will be on the mound for the gunners' brigade and It la a good bet that his wlgglers will prove rsther mystic to the Holly Red Sox.

Bo early last week Chris Lyck was out after a twlrler, ready to pay the right man any Justifiable amount. Dyke will probably twirl every other Sunday for awhile. The lads from the slaughter town are conald dered one of the fastest team around thl reservation, and with Peanuts Mason In the box they will certainly show the native birds of Benson a warm conflict.

Sunday th Woodmen of the World team will go to Arlington, Bat Nelson, Lured by . Gold, is Mapping Out a Campaign of Bouts Has Taken Good Care of Himielf and ii Beginning; to Show Some of Hit Old Speed. NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Battl!ng Nelson, former lightweight champion, who has been meeting numerous seoondraters In the northwest, has gradually worked himself Into such excellent fighting trim that he has agreed to box any opponent th Twen tieth Century Athletic club of tht city may elect. Nelson has accepted the elub's terms for a bout In September and th club' matchmaker ha been requested by "K. O." Brown and Abe Attell to put them against the Dane. Brown' manager, Dan Morgan, declares that the little Dutch man would allow Nelson to weigh as much as 156 pounds If th former champion could not make less, and expressed the opinion that Brown would win easily. Attell stated that he would relish ft bout with Nelson If the latter would agree to weigh 133 at t, even though he would have to concede at least twelv pound to the Battler. Meanwhile Jimmy Brltt, Nelson' old rival, who hasn't taken part In a scrap for mar than two years. Is red hot for another set-to and has written to the club's matchmaker that he will be ready to box Nelson In about eight week. Nelson has an eye to business, aa usual, and he figure that by making ft good showing with Brltt. Brown or Attell he will b abl to remain her during the greater part of th winter, meeting all th first-class lightweights. Nelaon also thinks Wolgast may ee fit to box ten round with him here after th tatter's scrap with Welsh in California, and ths TwenUeth Century people are ready to hang up a big guarantee for tha conquerer of Moran. Nelson haa taken excellent ear of him self ever slnoe Moran stopped him, and la some of the bouts he haa participated In up In Seattle and Portland hs haa shown a flash of ths old speed. He is fond of gathering gold and for that reason, he says, he Intends to go on boxing until he becomes too old for ths service. A mlxup between Nelson and Brown, It Is thought, would prove ft big drawing card. It would afford Brown ft chance to show hla best skill, and If he should fall to beat Nelson decisively there'll be reason to believe that the Dutchman has been overrated. Mean while Brown and Attell have been matched to box at the National Sporting clu6 In September whether either of them receives a bout with Nelson or not. Wolgast Says He'll Defeat McFarland Packy Declare! that There ii Nothing to it When it Comei to Boxing According to Bulei. CHICAGO, Aug. . "Mcrarland has been fooling ths public long enough and I am going to show him up." say Wolgast, peaking of his coming ten-round bout with Packy at Milwaukee on September 18. Thl affair Is surs to corns off, as both men have posted $1,000 to guarantee weight and appearance. Just what Wolgast means when he says McFarland has been "fooling the public" remains to be seen. McFarland has never been charged with four-flushing by fight fans, who havs come to regard him aa the greatest boxer in the world. He haa never lost ft battle and he haa never dodged a challenger. He Is ft shrewd young man who knows how to make a good match and for thai reason few believe that he 1 taking dangerous risk by agreeing to make 13 at t o'clock for Wolgast. The conclusion drawn her by ring expert is that If Wol gast 1 forced to live up to the Queensberry rules in Milwaukee, McFarland will out point him with plenty to spare. If Wolgast couldn't beat K. O. Brown In ten round It I argued that ha will hav hi hand full In ft bout of similar length with Mc Farland. - Th only chance Wolgast might hav to whip McFarland decisively would b In ft fight of forty-five rounds or to a finish, for he might prove stronger In physique then the stock yards boxer. But In twenty rounds under a strict enforcement of the rule It I believed McFarland would show a much superiority ss In ten rounds. "If I can't beat ft man In twenty or twenty-fivs round." say McFarland, "I can't beat him at all. But I'll say that twenty-five round Is a long enough route for me to outpoint any man In the world, and please remember that I can do 133 at 1 and be as atrong and as fast as ever." Wolgast's confidence In his ability to whip McFarland lies In his tendency to fight roughly at close quarters. McFarland is one of the modern boxers who know the meaning of footwork In providing de fensive tactics, so that It la believed Wol gast will find It a most difficult matter to reach him unless he gets Packy in a corner or on the ropes.

He baseathese figures on the fart that Dreyfues Is said to hav paid $2J.fO for O'TooIe. a star minor league pitcher, and declare that this team as a whol would win ft world' championship In ft walk. Buying minor league ball players ht merely a gamble. In pnylng $tl.500 for fhs release of Pitcher O Toole of the St. Paul club Barney Dreyfuas. the Pittsburg mag nate, has hung up a record price that may not be equalled for many years. Assuming that Dreyfuss actually paid "mount. O'TooIe haa earned the distinction of be ing twice as valuable aa any ball player whose services have been secured for cash. The New Tork club paid $11,000 for Rub Marquard several years ago, which was said to be the top notch until th Ath letic bought Lefty Russell from the Balti more club for $13,000. President Brush was believed to hav paid $10,000 to St Loul for Splk Shannon., and a similar amount to Cincinnati for Cy Seymour, price that were made possible by the wonderful prosperity of the national game brought about by the peae agree ment between the rival major league. t th. oM nava the Boston club caused a sensation by handing $10,000 to th Chicago club for the famou Mike Kelly, ana an equal sum ft year later for the peerlea box man. John Clarkson. Boston also put up $SO.Ot0 for the old Detroit star. Broth ers. Rlchsrdson. Bennett and Oansel. Soden. Billings and Conant. however, were the only magnates who could afford to pay such priies for ball players, ss th other Nstlonal league clubs did not com pare with th Hub club tn point of wealth. The plavers secured In thl manner by Bos ton were all seasonsd veteran of knowft quality and they proved good Investment for they helped to make ft winning team in the Hub. But It was not until Brush bought Marquard that the practice of paying big money for minor league mater ial began. Marquard Was a Fallare. Marquard was ft failure until thla eeaaoii and Russell has not come ut to expects, Hons with the Athletics. Whether O Tool! can deliver the goods or not remains te be seen.

Herrmann of the Clndnnatls. fTbbeti of Brooklyn and others who hav bought untried material with lavlshnes only t find that they have overplay themselves. In many instances players secured foi almost nothing have shown the required caliber. Pitcher Alexander of the Phila delphia National Is ft shining examplft H was purchased from Byracuss for $3,601 and today his release oould not be pur chased for $21,000. Buying ball player therefore. Is nothing more thsn ft gamb'. particularly In th case f mlnol leaguers, and chances would not bs takes by th big club owner without th libera patronage of the public Winners mean large profits, ftnd In tht competition for talent the richest mag nates havs plaoed no limit on their ex penditures. Dreyfuss outbid th Whitt Sox, Cardinal and other club In Ms des perate attempt to strengthen th falter In I Pirate with th acquisition of O'TooIe, anc as the Pittsburg magnate Is ft good Judgt of playing talent his friends will be sur prised If hs has made a mistake. Between now and next spring the ma Jot league clubs will probably spend $200,00! for new players, yet according to precedent they may find that only a small percent age of the newcomers measure up to th necessar standard. It's a good thing foi the minor league clubs, however, for with out this competition among th big fellowi they would find it difficult to make endt meet.

Malaria Cuts Down Johnson's Energy Star Pitcher Now Findi it Necessary to Exert All His Strength to Pitch a Game. WILMINGTON, Aug. (.-Walter Johnson, the star pitcher of th Washington team, ha not th biasing speed of old, and h blame it upon hi Illness. "I'v changed my style, that's true," say Johnson. "I'v noticed the change. I used to pitch th last ball In the gam with as little effort a the first It never was an exertion for me to pitch, not since I started to play ball out west. 1 never had the slight est difficulty In putting 'stuff on th ball. But this year I notice that I start the game with all my usual strength, atd close it working hard to get anything on the ball at all. Toward the end of ft gam I have to summon all my reserve tore to us any speed, that Is, such speed a I used to have without effort last season and ths season before. "My Illness Is the cause of thla change In me, I think. Next winter I shall rest all the time, and hope to report at the training grounda bigger and atronger than I am now. I don't think I ahall go to Hot Springs next season for preliminary train ing, but will work like the rest of th boy and rely on th early games to take off whatever weight I need to lose." Johnson Is still a great pitcher, and should regain his old form by another season.
