Im . rorements al Unl rerally park .nil - , lGe nrcang In g at a schedule of college Y , , games for the spring. The man- a hand ball court built which HIII be completed - pleted within a few days , and Is for the uro of the ball players in getting Into shape during the month of April , while the weather is such as to prevent much practice upwi the diamond without danger of permanent injury in the way of glass arms. The fell surrotncling the diamonl has been ecraped and rolled while the diamond itself has been 1111011 , so that the entire hall flew is now almost as , level as a floor. For the benefit ! at the women , the groundkeepcr has fllkti - ono corner of the grounds with flower beds , wherein he Intend to grow all of the choicest flowers during the coming nan. The house t containing the lockers and dressing rooms will be moved back near the fence amt t thoroughly refitted. In the w ny of base ball games , the man. agernent already has something very attractive - tractive to otter , and Is negotiating for a t- ; number of others equally' as good. On Friday - day and Saturday , htay 8 and 9 , the State University of Iowa base bail team will be tl I I here for two games. All lovers of amateur sports will remember the fights which the representativcn of thin ipstltutlon make annually - nually upon the foot ball field In this city , I and these can rest aseurut that the base ball team of the State University of Iowa Is In no way inferior to its toot ball team. Upon Friday and Saturday , May 16 and 16 , Orlnnell college base ball team will be hero for two games , and , while this college Is net a large one , it. has always had one or the brat base bail teams In the west. When the Unlverrlty of Michigan bare ball team made its last western trip It found at Urinneil the strongest college team of all those It played upon the entire trip. i On May 18 the Detroit Weatern league team will be hero for one game. Many will L remember that year before last , when some ' { of the present members of the University club team were playing wtlh the Young Men's Christian assoc'ation , the Detroit team slopped here for one game , which they sue- ceeded in whuting in the last halt of the ninth inning by a score of 10 to 11 , and after the game Manager Vanderbeck of the Detroit team said that lie was never more surprised 1 in h's life than at the result of the game , and that he doubled whether there were , many amateur teams , which were equal to 4 his late antagonists , I On May 29 and 30 the Rush Medical college - loge of Chicago will send its baae ball team hero for three games , one upon May 29 and ' two on Decoration day. This college has , ono of the strongest , base ball teams of any 1J western college , and these games will ho d fully equal to , if not better , than those r' agalnet the famous Stagg upon Decoration st d'al' Er last year. ; y t'orthe pionth of Juno no games have been , , dctlnitoly' "arranged „ but the management 1s ( n dorrespandence with the State University of Kansas and the State University of Nebraska - braska , and also with the Northwestern Unl- versity of Evan3ton , Ill. Arrangements were at one time practically completed to have the Northwestern here on Decoration day , , but it was found by the manager that this would seriously ± conflict with his arrangements - ' monts for an eastern trip. He asked , the , privilege of postponing his vlslt to Omaha i until sometime in June , the exact date to be dp'aled * ' hater. In addition to these games , arraugemegts have-been made with the 11 : ICaasas Clty Western league team for two or three exhibition games during the season , and correspondence is now going on with Ir the managers of other western league teams and some of those in the Western association - tion , with a view of securing other exhibition - tion games whenever open dates will permit , I So far as local games are concerned , there w111 be no trouble in securing plenty of t , them. The Council Iluffs } Field club Is ar- rnnging to put a strong team in the field , and there Is hardly a town In Iowa or Nebraska which has not , commenced to hire players for the purpose of getting a strong team together , regardless of expenea. Then , lee , there will be In Omaha at least one other strong amateur team , ahd possibly two or three. For the purpose of interesting as large a number of people as possible in the Cillvorelty club the methagement has decided , as heretofore an- flounced , to admit members and women free to a majority of the games , the right being II reserved , however , In cases where an Unusually - usually heavy guarantee Is given to withdraw this privilege ; but in every case where tibr ; I is done ample ngtlco will be given before- band. I It may not be out of place at the present time to forecast to some extent the makeup of the team which will represent the Vua- versity club upon the diamond this year. In all probability there will be little change from the team of last season , so far as the i players are concerned although there may be reins rearrangement of posltlona The r catching will probably be done by Frank t Crawford and Art Ibayes. Crawford , ' no every cue knows , Is a Uiilverslty of Miehlgan man'and during his last season there was t the captain of the base ball team. Ile is a If I remarkably good backstop , covering lots of f ' ground elldom having a passed ball and a- ! 1 ways rendering great asaletaace to the pitcher a by reason of his thorough knowledge of the game. Ito is a sure hitter and one of the best bast' runnere in the buelness. When not catching he can play any other position just r as well. Art Ilaycu was discovered last year while playing with the Clean Clippers and has proven to be a rich find , He Is over six feet tail , strong and well built and remarkably - markably proficient In everything that gees to make up a first-class backstop , lie is a strong litter and one of the most remarkable throwers who ever stood behind the plate , 1 With reasonable assistance from his pitcher It is practically impossible for any one to i g steal bases on him. The pitching will be done by Frank Jelen , Ftorbort floblusan , Edward Lawler and henry Clark. Jelen is so well known in Omaha that tlioro is little stow to say 1n regard - gard to him , Ito Is one of thb most cc- liable pitchers who over stepped into a box , lie never geto rattled , always fields his peel- , tlon in first-class style qnd can stand any amount of punishment. lie has great speed , wide curves and good control of the bail , When not pitching lie can play either the infield or outfield and is always a valuable man at ( lie bat and on the bases , ( Robinson 1s the youngest of the pitchers , , and during the two or three seasona oL ox- I porlencd which he has lead has made a rot - t markablo record , lie 1s short and heavy i t and has phonomotsl endurance , lie also has great speed , but the real secret of Ids success - cess Iles in hla remarkable curves , which are both wide and of a very puzzling character , Last season ho led the team in balling , with a percentage of over 600. and seldom played a game in lvidclt he did not steal the majority - jority of bases credited to the entire team. " lie , too , can play any position , either infielder or outfield , as well as they can be played by - any one , Edward I.awler was the most reliable pitcher which the old Conv9 Lions had in rho season of 93 , and since Joining the University versity clut ) Gas ably sustalned his reputa ! toll , is one of the coolest men who over faced a batter , thoroughly understands the genie and always knows what to do , lie is I particularly careful In watching bases and fields file position perfectly. He , too , has great speed and while his curves are not as wide as thorn of the others they are just no hard to hit. When not pitching he can play either ( ho Infield or outfield , and during the last two reasons has made oeme phenomenal - nal playo , of whleh any player , amateur or profgsaloaal , might be pruud , Clark , who is expected hero to spend the Bummer vrcatlon ; , has lived lu Omaha all his life and la now attending Chicago university , where he hag succeeded in making a gredt reputatlon for hlmrelf. Among the candidates for the other positions - tions are : Abbott , first base ; McAulltte and illtlinger , se and bane ; Crelgh , short atop ; Shecan and McKelvey third base , The out- fell will be riled with the extra pitchers and catchers , Abbott , the captain , will probably plan first base. lie is a University of Michigan man , where he played upon the 'varsity team as catcher and fielder. lie is a good batter , very seldom strikes out , and although not a fast runner , generally manages to get around the bases , lie played fret last season - son with a fielding average of about ,080. Ile is a good man te. Inspire his players at critical limes , and always succeeds in getting the best work out of them by encouragement rather than criticism , I1ittinger is another good all-around player , and is able to play either behind the bat , in the outfield , or in the infield , with equal credit to himself , Ito is 'a strong batter , good base runner , aml one of the best out. fielders who ever played in Omaha , He alwayo covers a great deal of ground wher ever ho is playing , Is absolutely reliable , and he has never been known to have an oft day , McAulifto was for a number of years a member of the old Nonpareils of this city. lie played a part of lsst season with the University club , and after he became accustomed - tomed to his company , put up a very good game at second. lie is a hard worker , and is especially strong In hahdling throws from home and getting the ball on the bare runner , He Is sure on fly balls and covers a great deal of ground. Crelgh Is a Princeton man , where he played an outfield position with the 'varsty : team. lie is as absolutely certain on a fly ball as any ball player ever was , or ever will he , lie played ehort last year for the first time , and after he became accueetomed to Inllehl work succeeded in making a great record for himself , lie covers a great deal of ground and as soon as he acquires n little more accuracy In throwing to first ho svlll be one of the best shortstops in the business. lie bats left-handed , and is a sure hitter , having Icd off during all of last eeacun , McKelvey. Allegheny college , class of ' 76 , is the base ball war horse of Omaha , having played bail for twenty years or more. Last season he covered third base in a manaor which would have done ctedit to any player , amateur or professional. In one game he had the remarkable record of accepting ton chances without an error , and of getting five hits out of five times at bat , one being a two-bagger and one being a three-bagger. He picks up grounders in a very clean and easy. manner/ / and is almcat , Invariably occur. ate in throwing to first. Sheoan is an entire stranger in Omaha , lie Is at present attending school at the University of Michigan ; where he Is playing with that team. lie expects to come to Omaha immediately upon the close' of school and remain hero during the summer vaca- ( ion. ion.There There Is a strong probability that Fred Rustic , who' ' is well known to all Omaha base ball cranks , will spend the eummer at home , and in that case he will in all probability play- with the University club. Ho played upon the Yale varsity team four seasons , and was elected , to theposition of captain for the season of ' 96. During the summer of ' 96 he played with the Orange Athletic "club , which had one of the Otroa3- est. amateur base ball teams in the east , I11G11 SCIl00L SPRING P11CL1) DAY. . Iloys Iiave Mnny Featnres Upnn ' 17ielr Curd. The Omaha High school boys are looking - ing forward to the spring' field day , which will be held.during the last week of May or the fret week in June. In fact many of the boys are already in active training in an- ticlpatiun of the spirited contests which will be made In each of the several events. While some of the boys feel that there is no use In practicing for the hammer throuy and shot put when "Big" Jensen. 1s booked for these events , yet they realize that the card will be largo and varied and that each can find sumo sport for which he is adapted , and that the time spent in preparation is time well spent. Gardner , Tukey and flood , tha cammitteo in charge , bave arranged a splendid 'program , as the followlnG events will show : One hundred and 440-yard dash , 120-yard hurdle , one mile run , putting the sixteen-pound shot and hammer throw at same wciglit ; broad and high jumps , both running and standing - ing ; bicycle race , one-fourth and one mile , each race , potato race , three-legged race , punting the foot ball and throwing the base ball. ball.Barnum Barnum is booked for a winner in the bicycle races , and McKell In the base ball throw ; Harry Lindsay in the mile run , with Alex Young a good second , and Mbreman and Collett in the' dashes , but the favorites - ites lose more times than they win , so It behooves the other boys to buckle down and ttaid attd they will surely be re- warded. The same committee has charge of the tennis tournament , and while It is not given an a part of the spring field day , it arouses ccnslderable interest. The satting ap exercises which Lleutenaqt Penh has put the boys through all winter will have kept them in good condition , so that people may look for many of the pre- vlous records to be broken , and 1f good records ords are made the committee will try to arrange an Interscholaotic meet with Lincoln - coln or Council Bluffs or some other High school , The baoa ball team which made such a splendid record last year has done nothing ao yet , toward organizing , oxgept to elect will Gardner as Captain and harry Tukey manager. At present there is no State High School league , as there has been for the laot few years , but an attempt will be made to revive - vive it. Manager Tukey expects to have no trouble In arranging all the games that the team will have tlmo to play this spring , and the only thing that iii. worrying him at present is where the money-in to come from to bpyeulte. If the boys practice hard and put , a winning team iiS . ( lie , field at the etart , they will probably have no trouble 'n ' procuring suits , as the boys arc always anxious to support a winning team. CrlclretcrN Sliowisig Activity.

In tact , there 1s little doubt that the broncho is rapidly dimppearing , and his passing has provoked little regret. Cer- tainly' ht his placo. he served' ' his purpose well , and changed conditions alone make his absence desirable. In his peculiar - culiar way ho was unequaled for good i and evil.
