have had them. Two out of three In the St.

Of 25 to 5. What a chunk that was for the
tall-cnders to take out of the top-notchcrs
and how the MUsourians' batting averages
did wax fat and grow strong on the strength
of the trouncing admtnUWrid Ulp Egan and
Mnckey.
Manager Rourke certainly " I rell to chop
off Mackoy's head, If for n , other reason
than because of that game. It would have
been better had the decapitiMnn taken place
long before,for Mackey nnver had shown
any promise as a pitcher and In his dis
graceful exhibition last Monday either com-
mltted a despicable trick by Intentionally
permitting the Mlssourlans to boost up their
batting nverages or else pitched a game
which any school boy could have bettered.
The champs took a right-about-face move
ment the succeeding day, however, nnd In
their last game on the home grounds for a
little time did business like really, truly
professional ball players, shutting the Saints
out without the shadow or n run nnd panic
1ng t'p six tallies themselves. This was
Skel Roach's doing and his first game on
the home grounds at that. Skel certainly
carved out a little chromo for himself with
the local fans.
The Denver scries has been a fright and
It begins to look as though Ocorge Tebeau
had a hunch of some kind when he dis
seminated the information among the Denver
populace that he Intended to swipe the
.vaunted pride of the Omahas clear off the
slate. There Is no reason for discourage
ment, however. Manage Rourke confidently
nssertn that ho Is going to win the pennant
Bnd Dill has never promised anything yet
that he hasn't made good. In Bupport of
this ho gives the assurance that If ho can't
win the coveted cloth with his present team
he will get ono that will deliver the goods.
And when Rourke promises Buch things as
theso ho knows whereof he speaks. Omaha
has patronized the new league right royally
nnd the local fans have no reason for com
plaint. But President Huck and Manager
Rill know tho discriminating discernment of
their patrons. They know that If the Colts
begin to tumble down tho percentage column
that the gate receipts nre going to suffer a
precipitation likewise. Consequently, the
management has Its eye peeled and its purse
open for tho purchase of more than one
national figure In base ball In case the
exigencies demand It.
The wecdlng-out process will be continued
as long as there Is nny necessity for It.
naer was the first to feel the keen edge of
the knife. Ho was a crackerjack fielder, but
wasn't worth his salt at tho bat and he was
sacrificed. Any man who aspires to the title
of a professional ball player can be depended
upon to field well, but It Is tho field that
must bo depended upon for stick work, and a
poor sticker has no place In the outfield.
This was Daer's offense. Tim O'Rourke's
getting Into tho team Is going to strengthen
It. Tim will bo continued on second base
, and Captain O'Conn'ell will rejoin the team
and cover tho initial bag. Lauzon and
Rcbsaraen will bo detailed respectively to
right and left fields and Ferris kept for
utility purposes.
Tho Vinton street reservation will not be
tho scene of professional ball until Wednes
day of next week, July 11. From then until
July 23 twelve games nro scheduled on the
hurae grounds, threo each with Sioux City
Denver, Dcs Moines nnd Pueblo. Then the
Colts will tako a turn about the eastern
cities of the circuit, playing at Dcs Moines
Sioux City and St. Joseph nnd stopping oft
here August 7. 8 nnd 9 for four games with
tho Saints before Jumping out to do battle
with tho Coloradoans.
1 about that Tebeau will be succeeded by Mc
' a raw as manager next season.
In th's connection th St. Louis Sport
lag News, commenting on the deplorable
condition of base ball in that city, has the
following timely criticism relative to bully
ragging method: employed by players and
directed at the umpires.
"Tebeau permits hu players to make as
many plays at the umpire as they please
and go to extremes In showing him up as
a robber of the home team. That antiquated
dodge won't work these days. It belongs
to the pioneer period of the game. Robbed
by e umpire accounts for the loss of
mighty few games In a season. Mlsplaya
anl mismanagement arc the faetori.
Where rowdyism wins ono game It will
Iom a dozen. In the first placo the umplro
Is not going out of his way to favor a team
which gives him the worst of it. He hoars
the hisses of tho spectators and knows
that he gets them because a pig-headed
player or a back-number manager has set
the people on him. A fair man will try not
to let this affect his decisions, but ho
can't help it. He Intuitively inclines in
Judgment and feeling against those who
bring him Into contempt with the patrons of
the gamo and Imperil his position. The base
ball general who resorts to or encourages
bulldozing and umplre-baltlng Is costing
his club many games and thousands of dol
lars. He not only estranges the umpire,
but he loses the services of players, who aro
put out of the game."
be paced by two tandems and the state
record will be endangered
The unusual Interest displayed In tennis
Is a source of gratification to the manage
ment. Tennis has been considered a dead
game In Omaha, but the list of entries and
the number of men playing will certainly be
a surprise to the old lovers of the game.
Two Lincoln men will represent the Lincoln
Tennis club and will make the play much
more Interesting.
The base ball game between Swift's pack
ing house team and the Young Mon's Chris

since they last met the Young Mon's Chris

There has been no great exodus of local
fishermen to nearby fishing resorts during
tho last week, although Cut Oft lake has
proved an attraction to any number of local
anglers, all of whom have been successful
In varying degree. Tho early morning
hours arc the favorlto ones for the enthusi
astic fishermen, and woe betldo the un
lucky member of the finny tribe that
chances to be darting about the lake In
search of tempting morsels.
The best catch reported during tho week
from Cut Off was mado the other morning
by William Robinson, who, with his son,
landed fourteen bass In three and a halt
hours. One of the bass weighed four and
a halt pounds. There arc all kinds of fish In
Cut Off, although sunfisb, perch and bass aro
present In greatest numbers.
With the apparent decline In cycling la
Omaha, due to the long hills and the In
evltablo decadence of a fad, the presumably
extinct pedestrian has como most vigorously
to life. It should not be said, by the way,
that cycling Is In a fair way to die out, but
rather that It is subsiding Into Its own
normal and proper condition. The present
summer has seen an unprecedented number
of pedestrian tours and city people, as never
before, are forming an Idea of the country
at first hand. They arc getting closer to
It, too. than do the cyclists, who at best
aro only able to catch a glimpse of green
as they speed by. Walking, It Is to be con
ceded. Is an Ideal exercise, putting no undue
strain on heart or lungs.
Ono of tho most entertaining tramps of
the summer was that taken by C. C. Helden
and family through eastern Iowa, a country
which Is not appreciated at any w hero near
Its true artistic and material merit. An
other tour equally satisfactory has recently
been completed by W. R. Llghton and Prof,
Jean do Kolty along the Elkhorn. The
pedestrians tramped all night as they neared
tho conclusion of tbelr wanderings, reaching
Omaha at sunrise, bronzed by their week's
outing and strangers to barbers and starched
shirts.
Mr. Llghton secured numberless glimpses
Into nature which will give him an abiding
sense of satisfaction in the trip. Along the
Paplo one dark night the pedestrians wit
nesscd the spectacle of an owl feeding upon
fireflies. The' bird of night lay in wait
about tho tree tops on the bank of the creek
until It sighted a swarm of the luminous In
sects. The phosphorescence bestowed by
naturo In a freakish mood proved the un
doing of the tiny creatures, furnishing ex
actly the clew needed by the destroyer. Tho
bird, a black object against the sky, wheeled
back and forth as the lights twinkled, gorg
ing Itself on tho delicacy. Its appetlto held
strong, however, as long as any of tho
lightning bugs were In evidence.
Ono of tho most successful tours of tho
season was that of the Young Men's Chris
tian association squads, the younger crowd
traversing eastern Iowa in charge of Sec
retary Overton of South Omaha, and a group
of larger boys penetrating into Nebraska
with Physical Director Darnes. The latter
section was composed ot seventeen boys, all
strong of wind and limb from the winter's
work in the gymnasium and eager for a
InrV.
Tho Barnes party left for Schuyler at the WHISTERS
same hour that the Overton party started
for Red Oak, and an appointment was mado
to meet one week later at the Young Men's
Christian association building in Omaha
Tho tramp from Schuyler to Omaha was
greatly enjoyed by the boys, and was full
ot Interesting Incidents. Strict military
discipline was maintained during the week
and devotional services were held both
morning and evenlnz.
Ed Krug returned a few days ago from
one of bis frequent fishing trips to Lake
Langdon. Ho had his customary elegant
time and a most successful fishing cxpedl
tlon.
In the big league tho teams have relatively
the same positions ns last week except that
the coveted first place has been changed In
both the National nnd tho American
Brooklyn has deposed Philadelphia In the
former and Comlskey's White Stockings
have run around Indianapolis in the Amerl
can. Tho percentages are so close, how
ever, that the fight for the premier
ship is Indeed a most Interesting
and exciting one. In the National
New York and St. Louis are still scrapping
for last place and the same condition pre
vails between Detroit and Buffalo In the
American.
P.itsy Tebeau, brother of our own George
of Denver, Is having trouble without end
down In St. Louis and the base ball sports
of that city nre beginning to wonder why It
Is that with such a team as they possess
numbering McOraw and Robinson from
Baltimore, a better showing Is not made.
George M. Kntrlkin and Charlie Rogers
havo returned from a trip to Lake Madison.
They bad a pleasant outing for a few-
days and found the lake alive with fish ot
all descriptions. Rogers made the star catch
of the trip, landing a bass weighing nearly
five rounds. He intends to have It cm
balmed and keep It ns a trophy ot bis crcat
prowess with hook and line.
J. W. Munn and his family and a party
of friends spent a portion of last week at
Lake Mlnuetonka, Minn., on a fishing trip
and for an outing.

ers In an all-day shoot at the grounds ot

The shooting tourney at Valley Wedncs
day Is going to be an interesting event, the
more for the reason that It will be strictly
an amateur affair. Professionals have been
politely Ignored and none Is likely to be on

The purses will be divided according to the

than had McCoy, Corbett or Jeffries. Re
ports from the fight Indicate that the Im
provement made by Ruhlln has been some
thing extraordinary, and even his most
rdent sympathizers were surprised at his
performance.
While Sharkey cannot for some time to
come expect to figure In circles formed by
he small coterie of topnotch heavyweights,
Ruhlln has shown himself entitled to n
triumphal entree into the very front ranks
of flstanla. Cnder the management of
popular Billy Madden the Akron giant will
have to b figured on by the champion-
makers. Negotiations aro now In progress
for a match with Fltzslmmons ns soon ns
tho Cornlshman's Injured hand cots Into

chanco with Jeffries and It is not beyond
the plane of possibility that Ruhlln will be
disporting himself around the country
umpiring ball games and picking up easy
money on tho strength of championship
honors.
Terry McGovern trounced the erstwhile
champion of the featherweight', Georgo
Dixon, in ragtime the other night nnd. It
reports be true, thereby celebrated his entry
as well as his virtual exit from feather
weight circles by whipping the same man.
It Is now on the lists for Terry to meet
Frank Erne, lightweight, for the sole nnd
only reason that he must needs get out of
his own class to bump up against any
pugilist capable of giving him a run tor his
money. If this match goes through as per
the articles of agreement reported to have
been agreed upon the Brooklyn Terror will
have all the best of It.
In the first place, the weight limit Is
placed at 12S pounds, five pounds lnsldo of
the lightweight limit, and It Is hard to see
how Erne can train down that low without
weakening himself eo much as to hurt his
chances decidedly. I'nder the articles ot
agreement Erne Is compelled to knock out
Terry Inside of ten rounds, another arrange
ment that Is to McGovern s advantage. On
the whole, It looks as though McGovern
could hardly have had tho articles of agree
ment more In his favor had he written them
himself. He has been fighting at pretty near
the 12S-pound mark for quite a while, and
can better afford to give a couple of pounds
than Erno can to train off five. Even should
Erne succeed In the contract he has under
taken, thero will bo little glory In It for
him, while, on the other hand, should Mc
Govern knock him out. a not Improbable out

Thero has been a good deal of discussion
recently as to tho proper card to play third
hand, with a holding ot five or more and
on honor led by your partner that Is, as to
whether third or fourth best Is tho correct
play when desiring to show number. This
conundrum does not como up In the trump
suit, ot course, as in that the echo and
double echo are completed as quickly as
pocalble.
While It Is true that the Invariable play of
third best is sometimes of value In enabling
your partner to secure an exact count of
our hand, wo think the holding up of but
one card In all cases has more advantages
In its favor. It effects the most important
result to begin with, that of preventing the
third round of the eult from partner. It
Informs him at once, and thte I often pt
tpecial Importance, that if the smallest two
cards not held by him are missing some
one Is calling or false carding. Again, when
third best la played, tho suit U often
trumped on the firm round by tho adversaries
and your top cards are needed for tho pro
tection of the suit, but you are compelled to
cither call for trumps when you do not want
them or throw away valuable cards and keep
deuces.
The various short suit systems, of course,
do not includo number showing In partner's
suit and aro much weaker on that account
The Minneapolis system Includes a curious
rule of showing number In partner's eult
only when holding exactly four that is, if a
player holds ace. king, queen, and another,
on his klng-quecn his partner, holding Ave
would play deuce and trey, giving the leader
no reason for changing his suit, and the
reiult Is that which all good players so
greatly dread, allowing one opponent to
trump and the other to discard.

the bill of fare, even though some of tho
nlnvrrs aro cray-halrcd old men. who would
call their grandchildren down it they found
them behaving that way.
The Jury KlcUer.
"I have always heard of the professional
Juror, but never knew him until 1 was
called to Jury service. Then I oUerved
him. Wbllo I feel that no citizen has a
right to shirk Jury duty, nt the same time
I am convlnccJ that no professional Jurors
ought to be tolerated. I suggest and the
suggestion is based on study that the
courts would do well to abolish the profie
slonal and allow no man to serve on a Jury
more often than every ten years. It Is tho
professional Juror who causes delayed ver
dicts. He holds out as long as pcsMble, bo
caws ho knows as long as he Is on th
Jury he Is certain of three meals a day
and the average professional needs these
meals.
"It Is tho professional who causes cut-and-drled
verdlct3. He seemingly knows
how he la going to vote before he eaters
the Jury box. although there Is no way of
proving it. I say so, because indication
so denote. Under present ccndl.luns the
courts cannot help the appearanca of the
nrofesslonal. but If a law were passed
limiting Jury service to once every ten
years It would be much bettor. I am In
clined to think that out of our larg.e' county
nnd city population we ought to be able to
get different Jurors every time.
"As to funny Incidents, I encountered a
number of them, some of which will not
do to tell, as there Is stringent restriction,
as you are aware, relative to the healing
of a Juror's Hps. Just as well be equipped
with a mouth padlock when on a jury, so
far as communication with tho outside"
world Is concerned. Dut once on the inalde
of the Jury room a stuff little corner In
the court house basement the talk Iclna.
"One man on our Jury had the distinction
of having served on the celebrated Beecher
case at least so he a!d. There wero also
many other noted characters one a highly
educated Swede, who insisted that everybody
have Justice, no matter what the cost. He
reminded me of (Jus Heege, tho actor, In
the 'Yenulne Yentleman.'
A llrlchniiilt lit Dlsgulsr.
"Another highly Interesting character was
an Englishman who found It healthy to
leave his native land a few years ago on
account of his advocacy of the Mormon re
ligion. Fleeing from England, ho sought
rrefuge In Utah, where for a while ho was
a loader in Mormon affairs, lo told me
all about his history. Among other things
ho acquired In Utah was a large stock
wives. After a few years he tired of su:h
a life and became antl-Mormou. Tncn hi
got Into trouble with his wives nnd all
his neighbors, not to speak of the friction
he kicked up with the church authorliea.
At last, however, he broke away from Utih
and went east. Whllo thero he discovered a
new wife through a marriage bureau. A
woman with a very handsome face, very
pretty blonde hair, beautiful teeth, a n at
figure, and nicely dressei. Her only trcub o
was rheumatism in her right lower 1 mb.
But he shortly discovered that tho rheu
matism developed Into a wooden limb, and
likewise her beautiful teeth and hir wore
skillfully male by an enterprlilng Paris fHm
Ho remained there a few years and then
located In Nebraska. He told mc he had
bad enough of adventure nnd that he wes
content to live and die 1n Ak-Sar-Ben land.
To look at this man you would Judgo him
to be worth about thirty cents, but closer In
vestigation reveals that he has wea'tb
enough to keep the wolf away from his door
a long while, even though he ceased work
entirely.
"Talk about close confinement spilling ap
petite, I want to tell you there's nothing in
It, for one of our Jurors actually ordered tha
entire bill of fare, and we were boarding
at a first-class hotel, too.
"Such Is life on a Jury and three weeks
of It, too."
