Omalia la not so awfully worse after all.
In the opening game of the season , with a
team which lias never played together and
has barely had practice , the Babes went up
ag-ilnst what la reputed to be the atrcmgcst
batting team of the league and certainly one
of the best ; and Instead of being eaten up
alive , as uae > expected , they gave the Saints
the scare of their lives. Dy only one little
tiny "run did Commy pull out a victory end
tliat waa not seated until the very last
of our men was out In the very last Inning.
The score was 7 to G.
An ] at that the game ought to have been
ours and would have been ours had Jo3 Can-
tlllon been a wee bit "wld us , " Instead of
"ag In us. " If It had not been for thl.j and
that the Dates were a little off when It came
to base running , the Salrv's could not have
can led off the game farther than "Dusty"
Miller can throw a box car. Captain Flr.Uer
and his cohorts were to the finest kind of
trim and ginger. If they keep It up Orr.aha
will be landed In the winning division with
out a doubt.
There was a goodly throng on hand to
witness the opening game of the league city
of Oni'iha. In spite of the fact that the
sklEu were very threatening and promised
rain , fully 2,500 red-hot fans wore on tiand
and after they got a llttlo warmed up over
the crackerjack of a game that was being
unraveled before their eyea , they bg&u tv
unpack their whoops with c.a much vigor 33
In the good old times. It \ \ < : a mighty com
forting to hear the old cry of "kill Mm. "
The season was cpencd In proper stjle
with a parade before the game. Early In
the afternoon the players of ( tie two teams
climbed Into carriage ) and headed by a
band and a couple of tallyhoj ro.le through
the principal streets of the cliy. Ciie ot
the coaches was engineered by Duck Keith
and the other was crowded with letter car
riers. The parade reached the grounds
shortly before 3 o'clock.
START AT THE GROUNDS.
The program at the grounds way opened
up with a little concert by the tand anil
then Mayo. ' Moores got In hta work. He
made a nice little speech , in which he con
gratulated the fans on their opportunity to
see the great American game and aiso gave
the Babes pome good advice for the future.
After that he toaseJ a brand naw ball over
the homo plato and scooted. Umpire Cun-
tlllon jumped Into his place and started the
first professional game of Lull teen In On.uha
for years.
The Saints were the flrat. at bat and they
started In , in a way tnat augure.l ill.
Fisher's arm was not Just limbered up right
and ho presented I'reaton with four wide
ones. Hurko followed with a nice hit over to
the left. Hut this tlmo Fisher was getting
down to bus'Ineso ' and he handed three to
Miller which Dusty could not touch. .Mc-
Cauley , however , did a juggling turn and
had to head him off at llrst , Preston In the
meantime getting home. Then Glenalvln
sent up one Into the InfleM and was put out.
but Burke tkuted In. Roat gobbled up Glao-
cock's grounder and the inning ended with
two against us. , .
At our turn Griffin popped an eesy one up
In the air for Glasscock.-but Burnett and
Roat w'e.o both more fortunate and were pre
sented with a bag apiece. Then Lyons com
menced his work of Ingiatlatlng himself In
the good graceu of the Omaha public by
'poking a good long one out to Miller. Bur
nett came In , but Lyons did not c'alcu te
enough on his embonpoint and was cut off
before he could rp'.l to second. Eustace gave
up hlis llfo at the plate on three fans.
The second Inning was disposed of In one.
two , three order. ( Fisher was feeling like a
fighting cock by this time and he made
mcnkeys out of Shugart and Glllen at the
plate , striking them both out. Spies knocked
a sharp one out to Lawler- who gobble 1 It
like an old leaguer. The babes did but little
better , McKlnney hit at the air three time ?
aud sat dawn. Lawler hit to Olenalvln. tut
he could not beat the leather out. McCattley
knocked a < hlgh one right Into Glen's hands ,
EAOH SIDE TAKES THHEE.
The third was a warm me. Denzer
knocked one Into the Infield and It certainly
did not seem that ho beat It out , but Umpire
Cantlllon said 'he did and that settled It.
This made Fisher so mad that he tossed a
nice easy one ? to Preston and Prcs. , to show
that ho had no hard feelings , Ikied It out
for three bags and Denzer ambled over the
plate. This rattled Eustace and he fumbled
Uarke'a grounder and Roat did the sameto
Miller's. Preston came In after Glenal-
vln knocked one up > whlch Lyoos gobbled.
Glasscock knocked a slow one to Lynn ?
which enabled Burke to scratch In , although
he himself 'was out. Shugart did nothing ,
tout three runs were In.
The babes , however , showed that they
could do the very same thing. Fisher
smashed out a nice en : au < J Grlffln followed
with another and Burnett with still another.
The bases were full , 'but ' Roat failed to find
the ball. Then Lyons crawled a little far
ther Into Omaha's affections by rapping out
a threee-bagger , that came within five feet
of being a homer. Umpire Cantllloi de
clared that Fisher Interfered with Spies In
his "attempt to stop Danny and ordered the
latter out. Three big , juicy scores were
strung up , however , anJ the fans nearly
raised the roof of the grandstand. This sort
of frightened Eustace and he fanned.
The fourth , fifth and sixth were fruitless
for both sides and the Saints' seventh wou of
the same character. It looked like the old
lucky seventh for us , however. Lawler got
a life on Shugart's error and McCauley
rapped out a single and Lawler scored.
Fisher struck out , but In the meantime
McCauley stole the only tase in the game.
Griffin knocked out a corking two-bagger.
bringing McCauley In. Burnett fanned and
Roat was put out at first , but the score was
6 to E in our favor.
In the next the Saints tied the score. Roat
fumbled Miller's hit and Glenalvln made a
pretty sacrifice. Glascock was hit and took
his base. Shugart knocked a long out to
Lawler and before the leather came back
Miller dashed across the rubber. The Babes
did nothing In their Inning , but the Saints
got the winning run In the ninth. Spies
banged out a two-eacker and a single by
Preston and an error by McKlnney brought
htm In.
The Babes did not give up without a Strug-
Cle and for a minute they seemed likely to
tlo the score. McCauley and Fisher went
out , but Griffin add d a triple to the single
and double he had already made. Burnttt
was not equal to the occasion , however , and
struck out. Score :

Some Valuable Hints To Bicyclists
IAH8 For The Coming Season.
The bicycle has made a revolution
" In the world.
U has produced a new race of men
_ and woman.
Bicycling Is pleasant and agree
able , and for this very reason Is often
dangerous.
Why 7
Because It brings a strain which
you do not realize ! In the pleasure
and excitement of the action this strain
Is unnoticed.
Those who ride , both male and female ,
frequently feel pains In the muscles ,
the loins , and across the back , n strange
wearlncAt , bearing down sensations ,
and other depressions. Now these feelIngs -
Ings are the result ot over-exertion.
You may not notice them at first , but
they arc certain to wear jou out un
less checked.
There are many noted bicyclists who
will probably visit this country the
present season. Among this number Is

DOfore the prowess oX Pjtchsr Klobedanz.
In five Innings he retired , fne side without
a semblance of a hit , and only In the second
were the 1iome players1' able to solve his
curves consecutively , when they earned
three runs off three singles. The fielding
of the home team wnH'n'JI' ' ' ip to the stand
ard and their errors helpcrd swell Boston's
run column. A high , 'cold' wind blew over
the ball park and made It uncomfortable
for spectators and players. Attendance

PHILADELPHIA , April 21.-Seymour was
as wild as a hare today , and In consequence
Philadelphia again defeated New York. In
the eighth Inning he completely lost control
of the ball , and after the Phillies had
adopted a half dozen runs to their score
bo was relieved by Gettlg. On the other
hand , Duggleby pttc'ned a fairly steady

A New Serial Story ,
"Ashes of Empire
By Robert W. C/iamber-s
Author of "Tho Rod Republic , " "Tho Mystery of Choice , " "Lorraine , " oto ,
will appear la The Omaha Sunday Boo ,
Beginning April 24.
The New York Sun saya of Mr. Chambers : "Ho never draws a weaker
or uninteresting character. They are all fascinating. "
Richard II. Stoddurd writes : "Whoever has road him will BOO the
hand of the master story-teller. "
The Literary World ( London ) says : "Mr Chambers is a past , muster
in the art of sending the blood ooursin ? in purest sympathy with
the fortunes or exploits of his puppets. "
"Ashes of Empire" is a story of the same qualities
as "Lorraine , " which drew from the critics the high pruiso above
quoted.
Its opening chapter describes the flight of the Empress -
press Eugenia from ParU after the disaster of Sedan (1870) ( ) . Two
young Frenchwomen , sisters Yolotto nnd Hlldo are incidentally
introduced. Two young English war correspondents Burke and
Harowood also appear , as accessories to tiio escape of the .Empress.
Around these four leading characters Mr. Chambers has woven a ro
mantic love story or rather \\io \ love stories in ono.
The siege ot Paris serves as the background and many
of its most stirring scones are described with a dramatic power that
recalls Victor Hugo's famous pen-plcturus of older battlefields. The
chapter which gives an account of ono of the great sorties made by the
garrison of the besieged city and the battle of Lo Bourget , which fol
lowed , will quicken the pulsoof every reader.
The two young war correspondents become sepa
rated in the pursuit of their respective duties ; and the house In which
Yolctto and Hilda have their homo is sacked by the Germans ; and ono
of the two sisters io carried oft by Spoyor , a Gorman spy , Harowood
is wounded in the battle anil is carried to the Nantorro fort. A pro
fessional criminal known as "Tho Mouse" and his pals , "Blbl" and
* 'Mon Oncle , " play minor but interesting parts in the complications
that follow , and their characters are portrayed with the skill which
Mr. Chambers acquired by his long residence In Paris and his close
study of Parisian types. The story is brought to a pleasant conclusion
with the reunion of the two ivar correspondents , and their marriage to
Yolette und Hilao.
Each installment of "Ashes of Empire"
will be effectively illustrated by competent
artists. It will be Qtie of the great serial
stories of the year.
