X K XXXXXXXXXXXXX following arc the names of the Playing Managers who will try to land a pennant in the Western League this year: Lincoln, Jimmy Sullivan, Omaha, Jack Hendricks, Des moines, George Davis, Sioux City, Babe Towne, Wicheta, Frank label, St. Joe, Jack Holland, Topeka, Dick Colley, Probably never in the history of the Western League has there been such an array of talent as playing managers Some of them have had some exper ience in that line before Fox Holland and Cooley. But with the exception of a few weeks last season when Mr. Sullivan had charge of the former Links, the rest of them come into the game with the added respon sibility of manager upon their shoulders. In some instances this is a handicap to the playing success fully of a good man. But whether it will interfere with the good work of these men will be better shown after the season opens anil advances All of them ought to make good for they are good solid men, and what is a great help arc popular with the public. The western league this year ought to take a place with the very highest as a successful and fast league. The New Orleans correspondent to the Chicago Uecord-IIerald seems to think that Billy Davidson, late of the Lincoln team, has a lead pipe chance to hold on to the left field job with the Chicago Cubs. One thing is sure and that is if Chance gives Davy the right kind of a show he will make the old fellows hustle to hold their jobs. Such players as Davidson are not to be found every day. Every town in the new Nebraska state league seems to be rustling in good shape to make the new league a success. The president will have plenty of trouble getting the league to going good and it is certainly a good thing to see every management in the league working for its success. It means a whole lot to the president to have behind him a set of managers who are alive and are not afraid to rustle. It means success. The "Mink" league ought to be one cf the liveliest leagues of that class in the west. It was a circuit of good towns ami no long jumps. It is the long jumps which cut into the gate receipts ami with' that unde sirable factor out of the proposition the "Mink" league ought to make good. X The game at Porkers Park ytster day resulted in a complete shutout of the Eaters chili by the following score: Hog 10:5,", Eaters 0. Saw dust sandw itches were sold in the grand stand. X The straw vote taken by one of the papers of Lincoln on the question of allowing Sunday ball at Capital Beech, a pleasure resort about two miles west of the city, out of a total of something like 2,500 votes cast only about fifty were against theprop osition. X Fremont of the state league is on a hunt for a manager for their team. They have one or two in view, but since all hopes of landing Shea have mssed they are considerably up m the air. Sioux City sold Shea to St. Joe. And by the way George Johnson the Indian pitcher which Lincoln sold Sioux City goes to St. Joe with Shea. X Scotty Dye, a Lincoln boy who ins hail a bad attack of base all fever for several years ami each season has taken out a team of players or a tour of the state, has signed up with Clarinda Iowa, in the Mink eague. Scotty is a good player and ought to make good. He was i successful manager of the teams ic took out over the state.and some day we expect to see him managing a team in a larger league. He has the goods and would make a success as a manager. X George Harms, a well known Neb raska player will manage the Has tings team in the Ncbruska state league this season. He has made a bid for such surplus players as the Lincoln Antelopes may not use, and there is going to be some good ones too. X To some it looks considerably like a joke to see Pueblo, which has just lost its franshise in the Western League for the reason that the town would not support a club, making a bid for the Des Moines franchise. Just the same there is nothing strange. As has been the case in many other things,"you never miss the water ti.l tiic well runs dry, and it is pot- sible that the Pueblo people now see their mistake and would patronize a winning team such as Owner Hig gins would take to Little Pittsburg. One thing is sure and that is thut the DtsMoines franchise is in dangir. John Higgins will not stand this year the deal which was given him last, and unless things change the Des Moines fans may wake up some morning ami find their ball team minus quantity. There is not another town half the size of the Iowa capital but what would have filled the stands to overflowing with such a team to represent them as Higgins gave them last year.

One of the company's lights at Seventh and Vine stre'ets was found to be in a battered condition result ing fronm the sudden meeting with a vagon hub, which had shattered the glass and damaged the burner to some exiu.t. A man was sent to the spot and the light was repaired, but the man had hardly returned to the shop before it was reported to have met with another smash up of the same character. And still some would like to be the gas man. Good Road Work. It is a pleasant thing to note the ex cellent condition of the roads near Mynard where Itoad Supervisor, Mike Kutz, has got the big stick out in the form of his road drag. Mr. Rutz is certainly to be congratulated on the fine work that he has been doing on the country roade in that section, which really makes driving around there a matter of enjoyment. It would be we 11 if some of the road men would inspect these model stretches, and get the secrets of his successful methods. George Schmclzel, ri-prcscnting the International Harvester Company of Council Bluffs, was in the city today on matters of business in the imple ment business.
