Juat ae we succeed In cutting the mu3-
tard arid moving out of the last hole Into
SIxth pottIon comes the io3IbIIIty , that
Omaha will Jose the Western league ( ran-
chI8o. No ofliclal announcament to this o-
feat has becfl male ( yet And no intimation
wilt bo given out by the magnates , bnt there
Ii no question that the transfer is being
Very seriously consideret ) . Nothing very defl-
nlt will probably be done untIl toward the
end of the aggregation's trip In the east.
% Vhllo there Is no question that the aggregation -
gation has not received enough support to
encourage l'resldent Schunian in remaining
here under existing circumstances , it can-
riot be saW that this Is all the fault of
Omaha. This city may not be the best base
ball town In the world , but it wilt support
I' bali team if a right kind of business management -
agement Is back of it. The l1Islnrs3 policy
which has been steering the club since be.
fore the opening of thu season has been
very unbusinesslike to say the least. Tlieres
where a whole lot of the fault really llc.
In the first place a team that wa maim
up In the main of dead ones was gotpn together -
gether nod wIth such an oiitflt the season
was folIowe ( for over a month. People became -
came dligustia1 with this aggregation afl (
certainly wouli not Hock to see a taiieniler.
Then the grounila were locateil altogether
too far out. Finally not an cfort was made
nor over has been made to Interest the hue-
. ines element of' the city in the game.
If a right sort of policy Is pursued base
ball Interest could be worled up in this
city. Certainly Omaha would support a
team much better than St. Joe , 1)es Moines ,
flockford and othore of the small fry towns
that arc trying to get the franchise. If
the club shoulil ho movei to one of these
places and the same huslnes policy be pursued -
sued the men would be walking out of
town on their tippers anti with cavities
within their internal regions in a very few
days.
The history of the Babes during the seven
days ending with Friday is confined entirely
to the ! itlIers. Six games were Playeil and
I _ the Babes captureil live of thenl , iiropping
the last oni in a record-breaking fashloji-
for the twelve errors they made COIIiO pretty
nearly establishing a now record. Five alit
) of six , though , Is about as good as any \Vcst-
era league teatii has been able to tin even
With the northern weak sisters. so wo have
slot much of a kick coming.
This has put 1113 above both the Tigers
atiti tlio dillors III the table with a tilce
lIttle lead. Next above tie are the flrowors
and they are quite a stretch away and play-
log good , though soniewhat erratic bail.
They have no license to keep alicail o us
-.1 and with a hit more strengthening the Babes
ought to be knocking for nilnission into the
first division before the season winds up.
If it had not been for that crazy quilt
game with the Millers , the folding marks
would have been much better than they are.

Who svill coach the college boat crews next
year ? This is a question thct every cal-
legian who has any Interest in aquntics and
every follower of boating rnatteis in the
country has asked several times since the
Cornell-Yale-llarvartl race at New London
last week ,
Taking Limo winning crew first , the qucs-
tion is easily anawereil , Charles a Courtney
will coach the Cornehhians again , If he is
aiic and well , anti the niami who would try
to displace himim afier the successful record
lie has made at Cornell womihti have some
temerity , to eny the least. Should anything
happen to Comirtlicy , anti Wi' hope there
won't , it is an accepted fact that little
Frediiic Colson would ho itt once chosen to
nil Courtney's place. That sounds pretty
funny , funnier to men who do not know the
little captain-cozawnin than to thne who
are fully aware of what a past mnastem' of
the art of oarsmanship hohi. . This simile-
ment ha probably never before appeared in
cold print , hut it has been known and nppre-
ciateil mmniong C'm'nehi atiiietem for tue lust
two years. A great many people smilel
when the 'Cornell crew a year ego selected
the little coxswain for this year , but those
people tild not know. Fretlulie Coison mna
have bcemi the first coxswain ever elevated
to time Position of captain of a 'varsity crew ,
but his worth hats been tried and im known
quantity ; it's doubtful it any crew was ever
better captained than the one that won ( corn
Yale and Harvard two weeks ago.
At Yale it is generally admitted that Itob-
curt J , Cook , formerly "the peerless Bob
Cook , " has coached his last 'Yale crew. That
was time sentiment of Yale moon at New Lan-
do and in the eastern cities after tile race
was rowed and that enttiiieiit is bound to
find ecIiressiomi in the athletic councils of
time New haven univcrstiy. Such action will
not be taken because Cook lost again this
year , although it is possible that thugs
might have been different had Yale won.
hut ever sluice Yale's trip to Henley there
has been opposition to Cook. This was
strengthieiied last year when \'ule lost to
Cornell antI it wan only through the her-
noun ! efforts of Captain Payne Whitney that
Cook was given charge for this year , Whit-
ney and Cook worked together vehl. Cook
would not have been coach this year had not
Vhitoey been captain and certainly no other
conch but Cook would have let Whitney
row on oar in a 'varsity shell. It Is a hard
thing to any , hut Captain Whitney was the
poorest oar in the Yale shell In its last
race and was time only one who caught any
crabs to speak of.
It is believed that some of time recent oars-
mmmcii of Old' Yale will have charge of the
coaching of the Yale crews next season.
Trenclway arid Arnuictrong mire nmmmst promni-
iientiy mentioned antI it is doubtful It any
better omen couid be found. One timing is

tion that has been plainly lackIng in time
last three years. Cook is an old Yale nmnn
and s'as captain at time famous ' 76 crew , bitt

Yale navy. Not only are time tUdets amid

dent pride in the climb to do nil ( hey possibly -
bly caim to ensure its success.
Following the criticism of last week in
Time Ilee , the cricket writer makes time following -
lowing suggestions to the local players :
Appeumded arc a few hints with regard
to batting , which should be thoroughly di-
gesied by time bateman : Grip time hat firmly
with time right lmantl , less flrnmly with the
left. Tue rlgimt too should he just clear
of time wicket. All ( ho weight of time body
shoimhil ho on time right foot , none on the left
toot or bat. 110th knees ehouid be kept
straight. TIme left shoulder should be
brought. well across the wIcket. Time bat
unmet him kept perfectly upright for nearly
all balls , always for those 'which nrc
m'trnlghmt , or nearly straight.
The bataman's first object should be to
defemmd lila wicket , time second to score rumims.
Time two things may ho reasonably corn-
bineil , nmmd a defensive stroke , if played with
determination amid power , nmay , and often
does , result in the acquisition of ions. in
both back and forward play time bat and
left leg should be so eioso together that
( ha bali cannot imass between them. Time
bamsmmmami shmouid always be comfortably set-
tied to receive the ball before the bowler
begins to run. 'ile iii tinme" Is a valuable
maxtumi. If the bowler is fidgety at the
post amid bowls before time batsunan in quite
reatly , the latter should draw away and refuse -
fuse to hmlay the ball. Jmiummen , thu great \Vimm-
nepeg bowler , reqtmires carefimi watclmlumg in
this particular. Mammy of lila wickets are
gaiumed by his starting to bowl before the
baLsummnmi is prepared.
I believe strongly in net lractice , amid I
do mint thmiimk a player can have too much of
it. if practice is carried out carefully anti
studiously. It is a mistake ( or a coach to
try ammil change the natural tendencies of
his pupils. The great thing Is to develop time
students' abilities to their best amid fullest
exteimt. There has been too little coaching
1mm connection with our cricket this year.
Sonmo one is to blumimme for this , ammd now it iii
too late to organize a regular system of
coaciming , at ammy rate before time tourima-
nmcmmt.
Playijig with a straight bat Is to batting
what good length is to bowling. Timis point
should be imnpresseul on time minds of nil
players. Timing time ball is another im-
portaumt factor in the batter's makeup-lilt-
ting the ball at exactly the right monment ,
in exactly the right attitude amid wIth the
right action. The first thing to avoid is
making up your mind what to do before time
hall has left time bowler's hand. A previous i
resolve of ( tile kimmd is absoltmtely without
any data. Men lose their wickets by having
to correct their strokes more often than for
any other reason. Let mao' Impress upon
players time necessity in forward milny of
moving the front leg omit close to the spot
where the lint is to meet time ball. If this
is not done time stroke is likely to be weak
and feeble. In playing any kind of bowl-
log , it is best for a batemnarm , untii hue he-
conies perfectly familiar with it , to play
quietly aunt steadily. lie should try and
find out mmli there is about time bowling before -
fore lie starts to make mincemeat of it.
When ho gets his eye in , then , and only
then , may ho take ( ho bowling under his
own management.
flatsmnen must not move fromum the wicket ,
Such a movement Is fatal to good play. If
the right leg Is moved backward toward
square leg it is inmpossihle to play with a
straight bat. All our batemmmen are weak
in ( lila respect.
