DIAMOND DIDDINGS Some of the Stuff That is Flying Around in the Western League. THE LINCOLN TEAM LOOKS LIKE GOODS. Much Stronger Than When the Season Closed Last Year In All Departments. will begin to report and then the bugs will be happy. Manager Sullivan of the Antelopes is expecrcd today. Manager Hilly Fox of the Omaha team writes us that he expects to report now very shortly, and other teams in tho Western are getting ready to get into the game. Tint locality of covrse is mrre interested in f'e Antelopes oi Lincoln than any other team on account of the owner" being former residerts of this town and county, but being so close to Omaha arc also very much interested in the Omaha team. It looks a this time as if the two Nebraska teams were going to be the pick of the league for the top positions, and certainly cannot be expected with the present outlook to get below the first division. The weak team at present looks like St. Joe, but it is to be hoped that Holland will get them lined up before the season opens, for it means a gieat deal to the game in that city and in cidentally in other cities of the league to have a winner irt the Missouri town. Holland nn(lirstfWHltf nlnvers ns well One of Denver papers claim I m anybody and there is little doubt Its last three weeks work opened the eves of the base ball world when it tied the world's record with a winnii.j. of six shut-out games in succession! and most of them from the strongest teams in tho league. The opening of the 1910 season will find them with practically the sumc line-up, the sale and draft only taking one n an from them Davidson, who was sold to the Chicago Cubs. It- is thought at this time that he may be returned, but should he not, the Lincoln management have already the option on a strong man from one of the clubs in the big leagues. In addition to this they have two young fielders who were the pick of thur respective leagues and will open the season with the Linclon team if they show the goods. The acquisition of James, considered by those in a position to know as the best all around second baseman in the New York state league, and which cost the Lin coln management $950, ought to fill up the hole in the infield. The pitch ing department w ill be much stronger than last season and much stronger than at the close of the season, two or three pitchers of class having been s'urned. Johnnie Jones will be with the team again, and it is the intention of the management to not overwork him which has been the trouble in former years. With him taking his regular tuin in the bcx every fifth eanic he will be among the best f the league. McCafferty tells me that his shoulder is as strong as it ever was, having given it treatment this winter which hns put it in the lust of shape. With McCafferty and a good arm, there is no pitcher who steps ito the box in the Western League who can compare with him for he has the noodle to go with the rest, and that means games when there is pood backing, and the following table will shew that the Lineo'n team will bo able to give its pitchers the required backing: Following is a list of the players whose recoius we mvc been able to get; a signifying the new men: Catchers: Bulling.

We had always supposed that the backbone was near the center of the body and wfts really the Main push, but in this case it seems that it is somewhat displaced. If the president had said that Denver was the "Big Toe", he would have come nearer the truth This kind (f weather Iwgina to smell like baseball, and it will be but a short time when the players but that he will gather some good ones before it is time for the umps to call the roll. As one looks closely over the line up of the Lincoln team he cannot but be impressed with the idea that that team wi'l be in the running for the flag from the start-off. It was an acknowledged fact that the Lincoln team at the close of the 1909 season was one of the strongest, and con ceded bv many as without doubt the strongest in the Western League, STILL ON EARTH LARK! & CO Sullivan 223.

This is Paul Cobb, brother of the great Ty Cobb, who is considered by many the greatest player of the present day. Paul has a record in batting of only .208, but his playing shows up much better than one would be led to think by his batting average. He was a member of fhe Fresco team in the California state league and participated in only 36 games, yet in these 36 games he made 16 runs from 27 hits, the hits being divided into hine home runs, one three bagger, five two baggers, four sacrifice hits ... i ! . i . anil emit singles, ai least, mat is what Simulding's record book shows, f Paul can hit like that he may be a pretty good man sonic day.

Ferve ns a notification to"lirds and j insectivorous animals of this fact, "Tired at Three O'clock?" "No Sir! I Use the Monarch" MONARCH Mrs. J. II. Tcogarden of Bock, Nebraska dcpaitcd his afternoon or her homo after a visit in Platts mouth with her parents Mr. and Mrs. C. II. Smith. Just why the glowworm, the nra fly and other insects do glow is not determined. One theory is that the femnlc3 are given this distinction in order that they may bo readily found by their mates. Another, adhered to by Darwin, is that the light is for self protection merely. Light bearing insects aro notorious ly ill tasting, and tho light may IF typewriters were machines run b mechanical means in stead of human hands, you would find that, with a piven amount of power, a Monarch could be run at a higher maintained speed than other typewriters. Run by "girl power," you find that the Monarch is run at a higher all-day average speed than other typewriters, and without a "tapering off," from fatigue toward the clay's end. Both these truths are due to the fact that LiTCf HT TOUCH. lightens the draft, uses Dower more economically. Eliminates the waste of energy that typifies the heavy-touch machines. This in turn means increased production per machine and de creased cost of typewriter work ter folio. Monarch The Light Touch and the Monarch Rigid' Carriage are exclusive Monarch features, every other import ant feature of the modern typewriting machine, such as Back Space Key, Two Color Ribbon Shift, Contained Tabula tor, etc., etc., will also be found on the Monarch.
