THE OMAHA SUNDAY UF.K: APK1L :. 1!M.. I fS f Bringing Up MOTHER DE,KJ WILL "GU LET FIDO IN A-bVOU 1 AS .0 OUT HE IIS THE FRCm Judgments SOME apprehension Is naturally felt by the magnats, and by them freely expressed, as to the out come of the present base ball sea son. It Is yet too early to deter mine If their fears are well founded, or If thry may realize the hope they have that the public will turn back to base hall for It's amusement. If the game can survive the shock It received during the lact season and the following win ter, tl.en It is pretty well fixed In the favor of the people. No disputing tho real popularity of base ball, for It la the one Kami on which all can meet In com munity of Interest. As to the commer cialization of the sport, and the methods and practices that have grown up n connection therewith, much room for public criticism exists. The sudden reali zation of this has movod the big team owners to some effort to restore the no me to the position it held as a box office attraction, and has also glu'en them a little occasion to worry. The answer Is still In the future, but the well wishers of the game are hoping it will be affirmative, and that- the grand stands will be Infested during the com ing summer by the old time crowds. Especially Is this condition true of the Western league. President O'Neill has said that every effort Is going to be made to win back the crowds that have been missing for some time. In Omaha "Pa" Rourke has given most serious en deavor to the solution of the problem. vith the one fact before him that he must have a good team to holdi the attention- of the fans, who have been some what Inclined to fickleness of late years. He has gathered together what looks like a nifty lot of ball players, and placed them under the leadership of a young man of Intelligence and zeal, and now ran only await the issue. If the com bination does not prove a winning one, he will have to experiment still further, but he proposes to keep at It until he does get the winning team he feels sure Omaha ought to have. His letter to the people of . Omaha, published last Sunday, was a frank and open statement of his side of the case, and a moderate request that he be given such support as is commensurate wun IiIr effort to provide Omaha with a rep resentative base ball team. The most Vindicative "home knocker" has never accused Rourke of not appreciating the ""fact that the only chance he has to win local patronage Is to provide good ball. L, ) HrM W NfcJtX :n thatj 2 TOirY- k3 JV v ; ' ' tj I 'J-o "and the public may be assured that he '"Ts as wide awake to that fact as he ever as. Tho way to help Is to go out to the Vinton park on Tuesday and show the team and its owner that they have a place In public estimation, and then Judge them by what they do. Much wonderment Is being expressed out this way as to why "Wild BUI" Donovan keeps Pipp on first and Charley Mullen on the bench. Pipp hasn't shown anything that Mullen hasn't got, and be I sides Isn't batting anywhere near up to 'Mullen's figures. We have with us today J. Wlllard, Esq., savior of the white race, head of a family and actor. He doesn't pretend to bo much of an actor out on the stage, but he does show what he can do with his big mita, and that is what the people most want to see. It's a good thing for Rowland the Sox pulled that ninth Inning rally. If the team had lost that 3ame after Its per formance on the road, he'd have to tear right back to Rockford, without waiting to pack his Kicster. Jimmy Jane showed the loys that his batting eye hasn't suffered any during the dosed season. If he keeps on the way he ha started Siujx City will never miss Lejcuue. Wonder what "Red" Dooln thinks of it now? He must feel something like he did the way he was going to lick Johnny Gondlng. down at Bt. Joe, and then changed his mind. Even Al Demaree can win a ball game with the right kind of team behind him. Des Moines didn't show very much re spect for the champions on opening day, ather. A lot of Omaha weisenheimera are about ready to lay off Joe ti tec her now. JOE JACKSON, GAUDY GUY; WEARS DIAMONDS ON FIELD To show how Joe Jackson has developed since his winter as an actor man. it Is elated at New Orleans the other day he come out of the hall yard for practice wearing several costly Jewels on his fin gers and a big diamond flashing in the bosom of his base ball shirt- Whetht r It was Joe's own fancy, or his press cgent told him to bedeck himself so that the re porter would give him notlc is nut stated. Father COOO CRAr im i. THff Doc . i Tnir A COAL MOT TO LEAVf THE TUPotm TO PLAY TENNIS AT THE UNI Track and Field Men Have Hard Work Ahead Before the Big Valley Meets. ATHLETES AND THEIR MARKS n J .4 MR K. l.AWRRXrE. LINCOLN, April 34. (9peclaI.)-Coach Ftlehm has definitely arranged for a tennis tournament between the Univer sities of Nebraska and Oklahoma on May 15. The Oklahoma meet will be held the week before the Missouri valley confer ence tournament, which Is to be held this year under the auspices of the Husk- crs. Stlehm has arranged that mo Mis souri valley tournament shall start May 20 and last three days, ending Saturday, May 22. In addition to these dates,' Sttehm has also arranged tennis tourniiments with Crelghton and Wesleyan and the Ne braska tennis sharks will also have two or three other schools to meet before the end of the season. Stlehm is a good tennis player himself and Intends to make It one of the big university sports this sea- Ton. 'The Husker authorities have no objec tlons to schedullns some tennis matches for the co-eds If the tournament can be arranged with other Missouri valley schools and the girls may get an oppor tunity to participate in some collegiate sport. C andidates Mast Work. The Wesleyan meet yesterday demon strated that Conch Guy E. Reed has a herculean task before him in rounding his squad of track men In share for the dual meets with Kansas, Ames and Min nesota, the first of which comes next Sat urday. Even against a secondury college the HusVera looked like a bunch of ama teurs and cannot hope to make much of a showing against the valley schools un less they Improve a lot. When Nebraska's representative goes to the- Missouri' Valley conference meet ing next month, he will plug for the adoption of a rule allowing participation In athletlcs.'Trovidlngr the athlete la car rying twenty-four hours of work suc cessfully. The scholarship question Btlll continues to be the big bugaboo In the conference, owing to the attitude of some of the faculty representatives, who are seeking to continually ral?e the standard, standing; f Athletes. No report has been Issued yet by the scholarship committee of the conference with regard to Its findings on a compara tive Investigation of athletes' scholarship with other students In the college. The committee, however. Is gathering data to determine what percentage of athletes fail In their studies In comparison to the failures among those students who do not participate in athletics. At Nebraska it Is said the showing will be very flat tering to athletics, for without exception the members of the foot ball and track squads have succeeded In carrying their school work satisfactorily. Co-eds were awarded their first "N" letters this week by the university ath letic board. The members of the girls' sophomore basket ball team, which won the championship of the university In a recent tournament, received big "N" blankets. Ten members of the team re ceived them. Jess Willard Says He Dreads His Tour Around the Country While it has always happened that fistic champions, even in the newness of the thing, thrill with pleasure at the thought of a theatrical tour, the clamor and noise of auch trip and the pleasant i' rustle of the unintelligent currency that ambles In, comes reports that Jess WII 1 lard dreads his cross-country Jaunt j Dreads Is the word that is used, too. He I wants to go, so 'tis said, to see Mr. Jess j and the little ones, and does not like to nop auoui me country in I'unmsn cars. The champ has theatrical engagements booked until August 1. It Is said, and then his managers Intend to plan a trip to Australia and Bouth Africa and Kouth America. While, perhaps, Jess may not want the money, his managers are wast ing no time. Jess has said, however, if he goes on any foreign toura the entire W illard family will go right along, be cause he has been awsy from them long enough as it Is. He is at the Uayety this week.

JESS WniiARD IN OMAHA Human Dreadnaught to Demon ttrate Just How He Tut the Big Smoke to Sleep. SEVEN TIMES "WILL HE SHOW Instead of waiting ' nineteen months, Omaha has only to wait nineteen day from th data of th big battl at Havana before seeing In th flesh Ja Wlllard, th man who brought th world' heavy weight pugilistic championship back to the whit race, for with th wreath of victory on his masslv head th new idol of sport lover will begin ft thres-and-a- half day' engagement at th Gayety the ater this afternoon, appearing twlca each day In conjunction with th Great Beh man Show. All last week th new hero of th ring appeared at Hammeratetn' vaudevlll theater In New fork City at a salary of SI.ON for th wk. and, although that theater ha a tremendous capacity, there was nowhere near th room to accommo date th counties thousand anxious to pay homage to th big Kansan. Th New York theatrical men hav offered tempt ing Inducement to Manager Johnson of th Oayaty, Omaha, in an offort to gat him to release Wlllard from hi Omaha engagement, and, although It la coating the Omaha man $3,500 In salaries and transportation from New York to Omaha and return for the entlr Wlllard party. Manager Johnson haa stood pat, believing tho new and popular champion would b of far greater Interest next week to th people of this section of th country than though twelve to eighteen month should elapse before he cam west. This will be Wlllard only appearanc In th middle west, a he la booked for many month In th big eastern cltle. after which a European tour Is contemplated. At every performance he will bog sev eral rounds with his sparring partners, do shadow boxing and gymnasium work and 111 ust rate hi terrible forty-two-centimeter knockout punch that terrific Jab that sent the big smoke down end out. I-et it be clearly understood that this Is not a moving picture display, but instead Jeas Wlllard, personally, himself, In th flesh and decidedly In action. Harry Koch Joins The Tennis Colony At the Omaha Club Harry Koch, city and stst tennl cham pion, will not be found battering th white rubber ball about th Field club court this yesr, but will play on th courts at th Omaha club. Sam Cald well 1 another tennis crack who goes to th Omaha club this summer and Cub Potter will also play ther. Koch resigned from th Field club last winter. His loss will b materially felt, as he has been undisputed champion In Omaha for several yeara and during th last two years haa been state champion Caldwell Is a veteran and I also quit a player.

Grover Cleveland Alexander Crawford la booked to heave for Th Be team. It la not known with which wing Crawford hurls the pill, but It is safe to predict that it doesn't cut much figure.

The selection of sn Impartial and neutral umpire I caus ing the most trouble. Ther hav been many applications for th job, but It 1 thought there are very subtle Inspira tion behind each application, with the re sult that one manager or the other kicked.
