OMAHA SHOWS A MARVEL OF ENTERPRISE
DIMc-atle * rrotindlBC the Arr je-
nl ii Team Pat To-rether
, Worthy ef Support.
K This Ii tbe week which will chronicle the
beginning of the Western league season , and
for the first time In several yean Omaha Is
trlctly in It. There have been some ox-
sspcratlns delays In getting the team to
gether , but the assurance ia now given that
all obstacles have been successfully dlppoaed
of. T'IO players who have been hanging off
In the futllo hope that President Johnson
would relax hi * grip on the salary limit have
dropped Into the band wagon'at the elev
enth hour , and the league will begin the sea-
ion with every promise of the moat success
ful year In Its history. That Omaha has a
team that Is well qualified to win back the
prestige of the departed days when Danny
Shannon's Lambs mopped the diamond with
* ) l comero seems apparent. It Is to be re-
jetted that the local public ha * had o lit
tle opportunity to draw a line on the players
bWorc the season opens , but this was due
tn circumstances which could not be con-
ttollcd , and the fans should set It right by
giving the team the encouragement of a
b g crowd at the opening games. The man-
afce-meni assumed a tremendous task when
If proposed at a very late day to put a team
10 Omaha that would rank up with the other
- embers ol the league. The players that
Grand Haplds franchise
* ere Inherited with the
chise formed only a nucleus for a strong
team. Besides the difficult undertaking of
bringing together and organizing a new team
the manaeement had to secure and Improve
grounds and attend to a thousand details in
cident to the location In a new city. It had
to crowd six months' work Into two , and It
has accomplished the task In a manner that
is more than creditable. Omaha has every
reason to be satisfied , and now the question
Is whether the club will receive that liberal
eupport to which It is fairly entitled. If t
does not , the city may as well consider Itself
oat of base ball for many years to come.
* In this connection It Is only Just to remind
the tans that a lively encouragement at th *
start cannot fall to have a salutary effect. On
eiicount of the necessity of fitting up now
ground , . It has been impossible to play a
fries ot exhibition games and the manage
ment has been at an extraordinary expense
without the compensation that Is usually ae-
cdred In that way. A big crowd at the
opening game Thursday would go far to cn-
cOuraKo both the management and the play
ers , and for the future of the game In
Omaha It U to be hoped that -the fans will
turn out and fill the big grand eland to Us
full capacity. There are only two series
scheduled on the home grounds before the
team goes away , and a succession of goon
enthusiastic crowds at these games will go
( further toward putting the players on their
mettle than a raise In salarleo all around.
ji last few days have been perfectly
adapted for practice ana tno Omaha playera
have been out on the diamond twice a day
warming up for the hard work of the season.
Talk about going touth for practice , no one
could Imagine a more favorable location for
getting atlft muscles limbered up and the last
remains of winter obesity worked off than
the. big park on Ames avenue , ao it lies
under the voluptuouo ounshlne of a gorgeous
Nebraska spring. It to enough to rouse the
latent enthusiasm of the crank Jutt to sit on
a pile of lumber. > nd watch the O'Brien '

from the , suggestion of newness .which , in
mlVhumanTfiroMblJlty. ll jj * r.ioff In the ,
course of time , no prettier ball field could bo
Imagined than that , in which the local fans
will revel thi * season. It la a safe bet that
after they have had a chance to see a few
games played at the new grounds they will
forget that they ever wanted to go to Uni
versity park. A blr gangof "carpenters IP

have promised Manager O'Brien to have It
ready when-the * umpire calls time Thursday.
The bleacher * are already finished and the
diamond has been leveled and rolled until
It to as smooth and bard as could be desired ,
While the list of National league umpires
baa not been Announced It is seml-offlciolly
stated that it will Include Emslle , Lynch ,
O'Day , McDonald , Andrews , Cut'hman ' , Connolly
nelly , Heydler , Woods , Snyder , Curry and
Bmartwood. Of these the first four named
are the only ones who officiated In the same
capacity last year , Connolly waa In the New
England league last year and Smartwood
comes from , the Eastern league. Curry waa
previously a National league umpire and
Hoydler has had some experience In a local
capacity at Washington. The othera are
old players who < uo presumed to be fully
up to all the points of the game.
The way that comparatively raw and dla
organized teams have been tbowlng np In
! xblbltlon games seems to indicate that thi
coming season will set a hot pace in base ball
The work of many of the minor league teanu
boa been remarkable and several of the
presumably superior National league aggre
gations nave been up against It and been
pounded Into the earth with surprising
celerity. The Richmond , V . , club downed the
Beancatcr * In two M prettily played contests
a * are likely to occur any time in tne season
and in e number of oases the minorleagu
( earns have mad * It extremely uncomfortabl
( or their high salaried opponents. This I
the more surprising when It is rememberei
that the vigorous effort of the minor league
to keep down the salary limit has kept i
large number of their beat players on tb
waiting list and their places have been fllte
with amateur talent. 'In most cases th
young follows have filled the bill , an
in fact , a number of them have ahown sue )
good form that the managers are serious ! ,
considering the idea of making them per
tnanent fixtures and letting the players whi
re hanging out for more money oroamon
the bench- for a season. If this polio
should be followed to any extent It woul
certalnlx have a tendency to discount futun
trouble along the same line.
Although only four days remain befor
the Western League season opens there 1
not a team In the league that has slgoe ,
all Its players. Minneapolis Is better ol * .
than anybody la this respect , as Manage :

played on the opening day were a * pretty
contest * a * Any one could want to ace. The
pitchers were apparently In excellent condi

and Tom Burns' men also won outby one
run , only giving Hurst's aggregation one run
In the laot Inning. Louisville was the only
winner that bid a run to spare and this was
because the Colonels were lucky enough to
bunch their hits hi the second and third
Innings. Boston and New York only played

McKlnney has been troubled a little by a

the sun began to hit the diamond and he
Is playing the bag In his best form.
Catcher Kahoe , Inflelder Stewart and
Pitcher Phillips have accepted Indianapolis'
terms , leaving first Baseman Motz the only
holdout. In his place will be tried William

St. Louis Is now dickering with Brooklyn
for Tucker's release. Brooklyn Is willing
to let him co In return for about halt of
the St. Louis team , while Tim Hurst In

Some of the fans who have been admiring
Griffin's handling erf ground balls would
have liked to see him remain In the InfleU.
Last Sunday he ate up base hits at a rate
that won their hearts. He was all over
the diamond and picked them up a eaiy
as doughnuts.
The action of Manarer O'Brien In s'gn-
tng Lew Camp In generally endorsed. Camp
has been as fast as any of them and his
work during the last week indicates that
ho Is In as Rood shape as ever. He was
always popular In Omaha and hta hitting
will be a big ftictor In winning game ? .
St. Joe didn't do a thing but play an
errorless game the first crack out ot UT >

hold of a few good things. Cbme of the
fans arc mean enough to suggest thnt M : > n-

players and turned his Western League
team over to Buck.
Stanford has caught tbe fancy of the
fans who have been out to see the team
practice by his marvelously accurate throw
ing. It Is worth the price ot admission Just
to see him line them down to second AS
straight as a shot from one of Uncle Sam's
ten-Inch nuns. The little backstop Is. In
urcat fettle and will be one ot the stars of
the league.
AM 0X0 THE COM.EGK ATHLETES.
Umlvrrnlty Ban * Ilnll Trnm Already
ia 'the Flc-1.1.
The rare warm days of spring have celled
out the collegkle < ath'letca by the score. In
the flyesU candka\ca for base ball nines and
athletic track and field teams are at work.
At the University of Nebraska considerable
pr ogres ti is being'made toward tbo develop
ment of stroni team * Jn each ot there
braqches of athletic * . . .Our owb'HIgh school
boys have been out practicing for their base
ball nine ( or several days. Almost any
afternoon from 2 until 6 o'clock one may find
a dozen active young Jad * playing .on
Capitol bill , and although they have not
been at work long they handle themselves
both at the bat 'and In the field - . well a *
any candidate * tor the Omaha High school
nine in recent years.
In the east , where the college players have
able to get to work earlier by reason of the
earlier season and because of their ability to
take southern trips during the Easter vaca
tion , the work ot the base ball men la much
further advanced than in the west. All the
leading college nines have played their flret
games. Princeton lest week got in come
good practice at Baltimore against the three ,
time pennant winners of the National league.
The Jersey colleglanu did very .well to hold
Baltimore down to a score of 9 to 7 , and no
doubt picked up many valuable pointers on
h'ow to * play the game. Jt was a 'surprise
to have the Princeton , te tn defeated on
Saturday by the Georgetown University nine
by a score ot 8 to 6. 'Both ' Harrison and
Watkln * , Princeton's pitchers , were hit
freely , and that' * the etory of the game.
Captain Eutlen at abort , "King" Kelley at
first and Thompson In center were tbe
bright stars for Princeton , although the field
ing of alt the player * was good.
Yale did better work against Georgetown
defeating the team that beat Princeton by a
: ore of 5 to 3. Walter Camp's little nephew
who la playing short for Yale , De Saulles at
econd and Wadsworth at first appear to be
doing tie bet week for Yale. The University
of Virginia defeated Yale , 6 to 3. Tufts
college , an institution ot New England nol
frequently heard ot in the tranimlaiour
country , took a fall out of Harvard's sup
posedly strong base ball nine by a score o
7 to 3. It looks as though Captain Rani
bad some work on hand to- turn out * win
nlng team for the crimson this year.
Cornell has confined Its practice games < o

Cornell's first game of importance will been
on Saturday , April 30 , with Princeton a

through the south In the Easter vacation , am
ito best game was when It defeated Vander
bill university at Nashville by a score o
7 to 1.
It Is a singular coincidence that neither
of the foot tall playero elected to tbe cap
talncy of tbe Princeton or the Cornell unl

U ha * been a long while slnco such a
'holler" ' ha * been vent up by the trotting
wners and drivers as has been raised over
he new rule adopted recently by the Xa-
lonal Trotting association , which compels

ecu re a license. Tbe rule , however , U

much as at the meeting of the board ot

hat the advancement ot the standard ot

lowevcr. that If this rule and any others
idopted by the last congress will not stand
ho test and , ore found to be detrimental
hat the president should call a special
meeting to take action on them.
There bis been to much criticism over the
Iccnslng rule that It Is' not at all Improba-
ite that a dissension may arlce in the
National association ranks as a consequence
if It. A good many track managers ap-
icared before the boird > of review and gave

would withdraw from the association bo-

Thalberg , the veteran trotter owned by C.

Ircd for good , and It waa none too soon. He
s twenty years old , has a record ot 2:20 : , and
as been en the turf for a dozen years. Thal-
Jerg Is credited by his owner with having
won 208 heats In 2:30 : or better during the
ast decade. Mr. Bates has never told how
many heats Thalberg won In 2:30 : or better
where the time hung out was several second !
lower. Thalberg undoubtedly holds the
! hamplonsblp over all trotters for having
won more heats faster than the time hung
out than any other horse that ever lived.

OF THE : PUGILISTS
Jack DMy Prove * Hl Title to Pjoat-
tlan frith Kid Lavlirne.
There was a six-round bout Monday night
at Philadelphia that seemed to Indicate that
the former draw between Jack Daly and
Kid Lavlgne , the champion lightweight , was
not so much of a fluke after all. The match
was declared another draw. 'All the -Joe * . 1
accounts of the affair coincide In declaring
that Daly was very nearly ihe equal ot the
Saetnaw lad. Neither fad any decided ad-
vantat the last bell tap.At the end ot
the fourth round Lavlgne ia said < o have
had something the better ot < ho argument ;
but during the next two rounds Daly out
pointed him. It Is the consensus ot opinion ,
however , that while Lavlgne landed no more
often than his opponent there was more
steam in fala blow * and that If the fight had
bc-en to a finish their effects "would have
been much more dlsaatrou * than Daly's
tape. * There seems to be no question , bow-
ever , that Daly ha * pretty well demon
strated that he Is In Lavlgne's clae * .
The Trisb champion 1 * likely to get him
self disliked if he stick * to hi * proposition
that a purse ot $10,000 must be put up for
a fight between him and Jeffries. It Is
something unlike him , too , because , despite
the suspicion that he has something similar
to a yellow streak In him , he ha * alway *
been willing to fight without much regard
to the amount ot coin that baa been put up
being' an exception to the usual run ot pugi
In this respect. In these .time * a $10,000
note looks mighty big , .and it Is questionable
whether It will be ever put up. O'Rourke la
trying to arrange the match to take place at
Syracuse , N. Y. , on a percentage basis
Maher. however , Insists , or rather his man
ager dees , that the fight would be for the
championship and- would consequently be
worth tbe amount asked for. Incidentally ,
Syracuse lias become ambitious io become a
eportlnz. center , as U has secured the fight
between McCoy and Ruhlln. The match la
la to be pulled off there on May 4.
It has been announced that all arrange
ments havebeen practically made tor a twenty-
round fight between Sharkey and Jeffries in'
San Francisco , on May 6. Tbe match Is to
bo for 65 per cent of ( he gate receipts , a
quarter of tbe bunch going to tbe loser. If
this match la a go , Jeffries has a chance to '
make himself the fiotlc hero of the century
by punching Sharkey BO full of holes that ho
will never be able to stand up In the ring
again. Jeffries Is said to be the man to do
U , it anybody can , because he la something
of a rough-and-tumble scrapper himself.

coming larger and larger every year , some
ol the birds , however , being purchased by
game and fish commissioners for public use.
Individual also buy In small lots. A dealer
in New York City Is said to sell from 20,000
to 25,000 a season , generally , and this year
l'o orders will be nearly 35,000 , the clubs
being the largest buyers. The unsatisfactory
vay in which the stocking was done formerly
jag given place to better methods , and the
; oed effects of careful .observation are show
ing themselves yearly , I ast winter , In the
eastern states , -Was a particularly favorable
ono for all kinds of game , and even at this
early day the promise ; of better shooting In
the fall is apparent. ,

It look * very much a * It the beefeater *

Ten Eyck , the American holder ot the
diamond sculls , and thus incidentally the
sculling champion of the- world , for there lu
a very evident deslro over there to bar talm
from the Henley regatta this year. Tbere
has been nothing but walls from a certain
class of Englishmen ever since young Ten
Eyck beat > Buckuiaffe ! * o handily in the
final heat latt July. Some have said that he
showed a professional spirit In the way be
raced and others have been hunting diligently
for anything that would nhow up tbe young
'American in a bad light. The English don'l
like to be beaten and it 1 * pretty evident
that If Ten Eyck could beat their best men
at 18 years of age he would be likely to b <
faster at 19 years , and for that matter ehoult
improve In tbe years to come. Thl * woulc
mean that the young American ho * , barring
accldente , the diamond sculla practically at
hi * mercy for any number ot years.
On'Wednesday ot lost week the Henley
stewards met to consider the foreign en-
trlea , other than tbe Continental. "No
American eight , " eayti the cable dispatch
"was entered. The principal dtocustlon
was upon tbe entry of Ten Eyck , tbe Amerl
can sculler. There Is considerable feeling
against him , owing to hla attending a
banquet at Putney , upon which , occasion
all the Thames professionals were present
and also becauro ot statement ! ) made In
American newspapers that the Ten Eycka
received on their return to the Unltec
States last year the sum ot $2,000 , which
to considered among searsmen here a * 1
they bad been given- , pay for their time
However , It Ten Eyck'la disqualified , It wll
bo on the statement Moat tbe Worceete :

ho lln | the other foot max be anywhere
xctpt touching the biio line or the ground

The committee WM chocrn with a view to
eprffltntlng the different Htylei ot pity that
would be affected by the change. In order
o loiure the wldnt disunion. They iiegan
heir labor * by sending out between forty
nd fifty circular letters to the most promt *
ent playen In the country , asking ( or opln.
on * ted * uggc tloni bearing on the ( subject ,
nd by getting personal Intervlewi when *
ver pcewlble. They have now reported to
he executive committee ai ( ollowi :
"The committee la of the opinion that a
hinge ln > our rule for tervlce Ii advisable
which will Impllfy the duty of the official
who has In charge the calling of foot faulli ,
nd which will prevent the server from In-
r'oglng on the spirit , If not the letter , of
ho present rule , by taking a running start
while In the act ot serving. We desire ,
here fore , to offer for the consideration of
ho executive committee three rules , one of
which , in our opinion , should be adopted
' y the association. They are as follows :
" 1. Itevlaed American Rule The server
hall serve with ono foot en the ground Im
mediately behind the bisa line ; the other
oot may be anywhere except touching the
iase line or the ground within the court ,
lo shall not serve- with a running or walk-
ng start.
" ' 2. English Rule The server shall stand
with one foot beyond , that Is , further from
he net than the base line , and with the
ther foot upca the base line.
"U Is not a fault If the server's foott
which la beyond the base line dow not touch
he ground t the moment at which thd
ervlce Is delivered.
" 3. Revised English Rule The server
hall stand with both feet beyond , that Is ,
urther from the net than the base line. It
Is not a fault If ono ot the server's feet
Iocs not touch the ground at the moment
, t which the service Is delivered.
"The advantages ot each are then ap-
lended < is follows : (1) ( ) U would do away
with rushing to the net. (2) ( ) Would give a
uniformity with the English game. (3) ( )
Vould prevent complications and difficulties
which would arise In determining what the
xprcsslon upon the base line means. "
The report that W. A. Lamed , the tcnnta
ilayer , would go abroad this seaso.1 to com-
p'.e In all the big EngVsh tourninionts
was without foun atln , and It he plays at
all It will 'bo la the mont Impoitant events
n thlo country. Prom the presoJt outloak
t docs not seem prnbablo that any ot o-ir
rack players will bo able to return the visit
if the Engllohteam 'this ' year. On the
tlicr hand , there are strong grounds for
ho report that two promtent Englhh play-
: rs , Plm and Stoeker , will compete In our
biggest tournaments , and try once more to
win the national championship at Kew-
wrt.
The formation of the Independence Profes-
lorul Athlt'tlc ' asaoo'atton ot Philadelphia
'ccently marks a 'new ' era In track and field
iforts of this country , since It Is the first
.professional athletic atucclitlon ever formed
Phe first meeting Is to .take place In Phila
delphia on Decoration day , and It Is eald
: hot some ot the beat professionals In the
oi'tcrn section ot the country are getting
eady to train for It. Professional athletics
lave long been looked up .i with suspicion
nd there has been frequently goad grounds
or It , but U Is believed that this has been
: aused toy the fact that the 'athletes have
> ean subject 1o no governing body , and Ihe
new maoc'atlon ia to remedy th's. That
ithUtca who ompo'.o for money can be 03
'as those -who compete for prizes
las bteni proved by the experience of the
jeaguo of American Wheelmen In profea-
'
o'onal tJcycIo racta. The competition for
money prizes under that organization bas
> cen and Is now cleaner and more honest
ban the competition for the so-called araa-
eur prizes c-Iten has been and there seems
o be no reason why the rule should not be
made to hod ! god In oitoer form of oith-
ei uca.
( Billiard championship matters are In
omethlng of a tangle as a result of Ives' '
efusal to accept the championship medal
ffered by the company under whcue auspices
he championship match -was recently held
n Chicago. Ives , however , proposes to
lang on to the championship and to defend
t,1 but be Insists that challengers must play
according to his dictation. He insists that
he will .play for
the championship only In a
match of 3,000 points , 500 a night for six
nights. Shaefer and Slosson claim that
week's match Is only a test of endurance
and that one game of 600 points Is sufficient
o settle the question of skill and superiority.
The billiard company which engineered fie
championship match announces that Ivea
has forfeited the championship and thai
mother tournament will probably be beli
n tbe near future.
Ernest Koe'ber has decried that be wll
ry for another1 fall with the Turk , Youseuf
Who threw him off tbe platform in New
York a short time ago. Roeber is taking a
rest now , ( but he declares that he wllll be
eady to go after the Mohammedan on Srtur
day , April 30. By the terms ot the agree
ment between the two men the winner is
o be pitted against George Herlklldes ,
Ireek , who Is some pumpkins at the wrest
lng line himself.
ClKMW ,
XA communication has been received from
Nelson Hald , president pro tern of the Ne
broska Chess association , relative to the
correspondence chore tournament which
it Is proposed to have In tbe near
[ uture. Ten member * have complied with
the requlremento and will be entered In th
contest. Any other desirous of entering may
be Informed of the terms by applying to Mr
Hald at Dannebrog , Neb. , who must be
notified of their Intention by 6 p. m. Aprl
20. CoMtltutloua and tournament rules hav
been printed and may be bad on application
At the request of the executive committee
the chess department of The Bee will act a *
referee and the prizes , which will consla
of standard works on checs , will be In
charge of the same department. A number
of tbe best gameo will be published and tb
rewilts will be announced a * the tournamen
progresses. The contest will probably con
tlnuo until July 1. Nebraska chess player
.are requested to give this undertaking thel
encouragement as It la the first effort o
the kind that ha * been made In this atat
and will advance In many ways the Intercuts
of the game.
The following Invitation to Nebraska chee
player * Is contained In a letter from J. M
Crosby , Kremont , Neb. : "I am very fond o
chess and have considerable time to devot
to it a * I have to live in a wheel chair an
have not-walked for thirteen years. I woul
bo glad therefore if you would let tbe chess
players know when they areIn Fremon
they can get a game at my residence , o
the corner of F and Eleventh streets , an
that they will be assured of a cordial wel
come , I hope they will come at any time
as the table Is all set. "
As had been anticipated for some time
Plllebury won the match against Showalter
and thereby retained the title of champion
ot the United States. It was felt by many
of Showalter' * friend * and even by Plllsbury
that Showalter bad played below bis real
strength and the young champion ha * offered
to play him another match in the fall. In
the meantime both men are preparing for the
international contest at Vienna , in which
they both expect to take active part.

WhUt
An Interesting tournament was played re
cently by twcnty-flve teams of four players
each representing different clubs within a
radius of fitly miles of New York City , A
series of six games on the Howell-Mltchell
progressive system was completed , ono deal
being plajcd by end club against every
Other At each sitting , making the total a
mattti of six heads. Tbe winning team , from
the Brooklyn Whist club , together with the
other players , adopted what Is now generally
known aa the "common-senao eystcm , " a
partial dcflultlcn of which Is to "play tor the
long suit when there la any chance to make
It ; leading short suits and supporting cards
wben there Is not. "
The Women's Whist congrres , nCilch will
be field In Philadelphia Apcll 20 , 27 and 28 ,
Is now the absorbing topic among eastern
players. While the chief event will bo the
contest for the championship for teams of
four , Intercut will be quite as strong In some
of the other matches. The play for the
Toledo trophy , for teams of four women from
different clubs , will attract a largo entry list
and bring out < be best women players. Ccu-
teats will also occur between mixed doubles.
A good deal of experimenting has been done
durlnz the last winter with different sys
tems of play , but the results have not bucu
sufficiently striking to enable a decision to
be mtdo as to which Is absolutely the best.
Each whist department gives preference to
Its own favorite , and , also , it Is often dim-
cult to distinguish between the merits of the
systems and the abilities of the players.
The New York Sun points out particulars In
which all of these now systems resemble one
another , and which entitle them to be classed
as belonging to the "common-sense" school.
It Is explained that "they all avoid leading
from tenaco suits of less than six cards ,
leadlns away from single honors and lead
ing trumps Just because you have five. They
all reccgnlzo the disadvantage of opening
new suits , and most of them make the origi
nal leadofasmallcard carry with it something
more than the bare Indication of a long suit ,
while few of them seem to attach any Im
portance to showing number. "
The solution of the problem published last
week is for N to lead trumps three times. S
discarding both his spades. E will also dis
card a spade , but W cannot discard either
diamonds or spades without making a tenaco
good In S'e hand so he glvce up ace and
queen of clubs. N now leads the spade
queen , and E must give up the club or un-
guard the diamond. S discards accordingly
and makes 'wo diamonds , or one diamond
and one club.
The following Is ono of Whltflcld's com
positions. Hearts are trumps , N Is to lead
and with S for partner to win all five tricks :
