Manager Leonard him received letters from all the players , and without , an exception thqv have reported themselves In good form and lionlth nnd eager for the playlug season to roll round. This is indeed oncouragingaud it bespeaks harmony la tlio team , and harmony ninoug the men Is an element In effective ball playing second only to actual ability , Every day , in fact repeatedly every day , TUB llr.n's baseball scribe la asked what ho thinks of the Omatm team , and the answer is Invariably ttiat It is an unusual Htrong ouo nnd iium necessarily make a good showing , Can any ono doubt tins after scanning tbo nbovo list of names ! It Indeed embraces an exceptionally line array of talent , promising incn every onu of them , even unto the tiov * oral untried quantities It contains. No claim U made that they will win the pennant. Such effusive declarations cma- nato only from those who do not known n ball player from a circus acrobat , nnd when they say It do not know what they nro talk ing about. Omaha will encounter several ball teams the coming season well worthy the prowess , and a good place in the race , oven up as high in second or third should bo a , source of satis faction to nil these who weigh the chances against higher honors. Kansas City will bo most formidable in playing strength , While MinnoaDolls , Sioux City and Milwau kee nro nil very strong and will put up such a Kama as no club In the country , especially In the minor bodies , Is warranted In ululuilnp the ability to worst them tlireo games out of live. The task of winning tbo pennant will bo n moro dllUeult ono the coming teason tlmu over before , and the Western associa tion team that accomplishes thU laudable nchlavcuioiit may well Indulge In u llttlo Kratulatory enthusiasm.

The baseball park has been put In line condition lor the oponlng of the season , but the work of renovation and improvement still goes on , 'Tho diamond , says Joe Walsh , "looka better now than It , did last season , nnd If Manager Leonard would put on a , big roller whllo tbo frost is still m the ground ho could make it as smooth as a billiard table. " "How does our diamond compare with these of the ether Western association cities , .Too ? " asked Tnc BEE scribe. "Favorably , with the best of them. " "Whicn club has th6 worst diamond ! " "Kansas City , by an overwhelming major ity. The Cowboys' diamond Is not only as rough as a corduroy road , but la full of sink holes for drainage purposes. Then , still worse , it Is so laid out that the afternoon's sun is right smack In the ticcoml baseman's nnd shortstop's oyos. I used to havn to shade my face with my cap to aeo the batter , who stands In the shade. So you can con ceive of the dlft'.culty In otopplng hard-hit groundorH in Kansas City. It Is also harden on the fielders , and Kansas City never sees a good Holding game , save on cloudy days , " Dr. Dohso's Downfall. The Bancroft , Nob. , gun club was in a flourishing condition up to a few daya ago , but now all Is anarchy und discord. Tnia condition ol things was occasioned by n re cent shoot hold by the club , The members nro : Frank Muibauch , George Hawley , Gcorgo Lydiclt , John Hawley nnd Dr. Dohsc. The latter has long boasted of his twenty years' experience nt the trap nnd has frequently declared that ho intended to comate to this city nnd yank oft the scalps of Frank Paraialeo , John Petty , Billy Brewer nnd tbo rest of our cracks. All the Boots In Ban croft were afraid of him and went into the match ncalnst him a few days ago with u good deal of trepidation. Now tho.v all want to shoot him for sand , mud or tnush Hu cnuio out n tuil-ondor. Everybody boat him. Ho was BO badly broken up that ho woula not allow the local paper to publish thoscoro , so the members put their heads together and concluded to send It to TUG BBC.

Knnpn't ) Job Ijut Opinion. In a letter to an Omaha trlcnd , Wilbur Knapp of Portland , Ore. , remarks : "Ger- wlng ought to have won that Omaha raco. I know him well. Ho Is speedy and n good stayer , and If I und boon In the race would have watched him closer than all the rest. Hut lot mo tell you what I am ready to do : I will ride any ono in the country a match race for from $1.500 to $3,500 u side and TO unit S10 of th" gate , the race not to bo over thrco hours n nlirhl or under flvo miles.

Uingloy U n stiff , Heading mill worse and Atbtnger a farm band , and the whole gang ought to bo doused into the river , Eck with a four-ton stone around his neckl That's what I think of the job lot. " The AVilil Fowl Outlook. There were n good many big bags of geese nnd duetts made during the first four days of the past woeic , but the sudden cold spell has again driven the birds gulf ward. The market is tolerably well filled with Canadas nnd brunt , with a goodly supply of mallard , pin-tail and redhead , with an occasional bunch of canvas backs. Geese are bringing $1 a pair , mallard , 00 ce'its ; pin-tall , 75 cents ; redhead , 80 cents ; canvasback , S3 , and teal , 50 cents. The early wild fowl shooting In this Im mediate vicinity promises to DO bettor than It has been for several years. There was but llttlo shooting last spring , or fall either , and the birds have had u flno opportunity to recuperate and bring up large families. The sportsmen are nil in n fever ot expectation , and as soon ns the winter breaks up In earn est the marshes will bo full of shooters. A warm spoil with n few gentlo'falna will bring In the teal and the \Vilson snipa by the thousands. Chicane's Opinion of Ijlmlstxy. Chicago Sporting Journal : Jimmy Lind say , the Omaha light-weight , arrived In Chicago cage Saturday , nnd at once rnndo his way to the Sporting Journal ofllco. His object m coining to Chicago" to spend n few days with his friends , previous to leaving for Snn Francisco , to which city ho Is liable to bo summoned nny time by nls friend Patsy Fal len , whu is already there looking for n match for him. Lindsay , although of an athletic build , looks anything but the lighter that ho is , resembling In dross nnd appearance - vacation. Ho is anco a young priest on a modest , yet Quito nn interesting talker , and , while not looking for a match himself , Is em powered by the Gate City Athlotio club to make arrangements for n good heavy weight to co to Omaha ' and tight Jack Davis under Its auspices. Lindsay Is accompanied by his wife , a charming lady , whom ho married just previous trfhls battle with Oriflln. Ho Is a plumber by trade , also n first-class bar tender , who does not know the tusto of whisky nnd never smoked a cigar or pipe in his Hfo , Tlio Story of lomi nly'fl Defeat. Howard Rutherford , a 'Frisco newspaper man and a member of the California athlotio club , spent an hour at Tun BUR ofllco last evening. Ho talked entertainingly of the recant affairs before the California clubs , particularly on Dompsey's defeat at the hands of Georeo La Blanche. "Tho Marino , " ho said , "never was Jn such condition , whllo Jack was all awry. In the Ural six rounds La Blanche rushed and Dempsey showed his skill as a ducker ana jumper , but ho never lost an opportunity to Jab his burly antagonist In the face. * La Blanche was ucly nnd showed n tonaonoy to light foul , and ho should have been called down In the seventh round. " Up to the eleventh round It was rush und sing by the Marino nnd dodco nnd stab by Jack. After this La Blanche adopted the long range tac tics. Ho made no headway , whllo Dempsey began to swing hia right nnd was rapidly nailing the light. In the twenty-sixth round ha thought bo saw a chance to knock the Marino out. Ho pushed him Into his corner , but to the surprise of everyone , barely saved himself from being knocked out. as La .Blanche Inllictod BOIIIO awful punishment. In the thirty-second ho wont after him again. Ho llddlrd the Marino to the ropes , then , after a feint , lot p.o his loft , following with bis right on La Blanche's Jaw , but the next instant the doughty Jack lay on the floor an Inert mass. The knotty right list of the Marino had collided with Dorapsoy's nose with tremendous force , and tbo Nonpa reil was a vanquished man for the first time in his life. " Mr. Huthorford will remain In the city , the guest of friends , until Wednesday next , when ho goes to Denver. Hnyituruii itiifii i'lvo. Edgar 0. Buydcr , associate editor of tba Omaha Excelsior , has Just Issued a very coinproueuslvo and interesting treatise , or book of reference , on the popular game of high flvo single , double and progressive. The little volume has boon carefully re viewed , und but one exception to its ceneral rcliabilitv is noted , and that is to rule It ) In the single high flvo cede , whicn reads : 10. In uaso of n tie , high irocs out first , low next , jack next , then game , ana lastly the first flva spot. But should jack bo made first before cither hicrh or low , then the game is terminated , and high and , low do not count. The jack never takes precedence before the high or low In high Hvo , no matter nt what stage of the game it may bo ' 'saved. " In aovcn-up , however , If.'two players are a tie nt six points each , nnd .tho dealer turns' jack , thonwio Is out , but under no ether cir cumstances. ' Aside from this discrepancy. Snyder/a / volume - umo is a worthy ono and will bo found of great assistance to all now " players. ' 9 "Whisperings ot thuVhcol. .

Some of Omahu'a most elegantly paved streets nro In a deplorable condition , on ac count of several wcotta' accumulation of mud and refuse. Wheelmen , who probably got over the city more generally than nny ether class of citizens , see this uvcry duy.anu their unanimous verdict Is that the street commissioner might become bettor entitled to his salary by n little attention la this direction. N. F , Flak and F. L. Teniplo ot Lexington and Leon Wurtzof Button spent several days amouft thu local wheelmen last week. They wore hero In the interest of the League of American Wheelmen. They say that everything looka favorable for an organiza tion m Nebraska the coming season. Just now the division la lu tt.4 juapo , but with a Utlu extra rrork it couU oaiily bo elevated to the standard that exists in other states. -Thoro are there ofllces which should bo filled without fsiiluro before All Fool's Day , or they must hold over In their vacancy until September 1. If the organization could DO perfected without much further delay , il would bo In eood shape for a grand stale meet this fall. Many now otnatnontal nnd useful articles are being put up in the O. W. C club house. The latest Is a handsome metal monagram from Oscar Eponetter and un electric bell from Ed Smith. Tomorrow the billiard tables will bo rc.idy for use , nnd the treas ury will bo swelled probably S35 or 810 n month from this source , and will have n ten dency to brine the members around much oftener , ns there are several embryonic Schaeffors and Slossons within the club ranks. Hereafter membership tickets or certificates will bo issued , nnd nil aiombern in arrears for dues should pay up and got their paper. The house committee is pro gressing rapidly with its work about the club house. It is a now committee nnd its duties are not aufllclently defined for real ef fective work , but they are doing splendidly. When the Hacing board of the League of American Whclmon passed is now famous ukase against tlio payment of the traveling expenses nnd entrance fees of racing men , members of athletic clubs. It was generally supposed to bo an intended olap at the Ama teur Athlotio union and that a rupture would bo caused thoseby between the two bodies. Tno rule cause any amount of aiscusslon by interested parties , nnd although the athlotio uorlil strongly condemned It , the league In dorsed the action nt its recent annual meet- Ing. Whllo the moro Impetuous are inclined to the belief that warfare is to bo the result , it is probable that the matter will bo quietly and ntnicably settled when representatives of the two organizations cot together and talk the matter over. Such n conference will bo hold Homo time this week , and al though It will , of necessity , bo of nn Informal nature , the outcome will practically Bottle the matter , Ino.il Sports.

Pitcher Fanning writes Tun BEE that It Is a mistake about his being wild. Ho says ha is'ono of the tamest men on earth and that he expects to play the game bang I Toledo hasn't secured either Conway or Henley yet from Kansas City. The club will need another good right-handed pitcher badly before the season la fur advanced.

Jimmy Canavan has written to President McCormlck that ho has given up his con templated business venture and that ho will report nt Omaha when the time comes. Thought so.
