THE OMAHA- DAlKY I1EE: SUNDAY, FEBItUAHY 9, 1902. 9 STICK IN WESTERN LEAGCE Cmaba Certain f Wh ok . Clsi Will Knit Lesal Zais Ba'iL AMERICAN TAKES FRANCHISE TS LOUISVILLE Tebesn to Control Tria la KfnUfkf Metropolis, Leaving; Kmmi CHjr tm Hands of On ?tst Tet Named. Not this year. Alt you rooters who wer hoping and praying that Omaha would land la the American association circuit may as' well make Bp your minds to take what you fan get. You'll very likely not gat any Ameri can association. Last Sunday It was given out that QoorgV Tebeau was In Louisville negotiating for the National league grounds there, having been awarded a franchise In the American asaoclatlon for that ' city. During the week word came floating along from Kansas City that Tebeau had sold out his American association franchise there nd had gone to Kentucky for good. Well? Looks good, doesn't It? No name is attached to the report other than Tebeau's. 'While the Identity bf the 'rep'ht'eif purchaser "ll shielded I fom ths public,' yet U Is' a- notice able fact that Jimmy Manning has not an nounced the signing of a fourth player, nor has ho leased any additional ball parka. Not that Mr. Manning would leave the Western for the American. , Perish the thought. If there be any truth ' In these reports and no reason to doubt them exists then Orihtha can aay farewell to aspirations for faster company, and prepare to tnak -the best of the Western league. , In this event Omaha will be associated with Denver. Colorado Springs, St. Joseph and two Other places yet to be named. Sioux City may bo one of these. Des Moines may be another. In Dea Molnea . a wonderful de gree of apathy Is noted. Messrs. Flynn nod Chase will not listen to any proposi tion other than that their Interests be pur chased." They have done with base ball. tip to data no deal has been reported, al though It as said early In the week that Magnates Rourk and Whitfield would visit them with a view to settling the matter. In. Sioux City the public Is, as always, red- hot for a ball team. No anouncement , of any Western league negotiations has been made, however.' Out In Denver there la a story to the affect that . Tommy Burns, who Is playing the Haroua-al-Raschld part in tho West ern league cast, wtll buy the Des Moines franchise from Flynn and Chase and put In s team there. It may be so In time that Mr. Burns will come to own all the West ern league franchises. It waa through Mr. Burns' "propensity to pose as a good thing that he got Into base ball. Now that he is in he might as well be pushed along. If he Is willing to support the team in Des Moines there will be-bo objection.4. He was , to furnish the money to .guarantee Omaha and Kansaa City against loss In vent of there being two. teams in each, thus supporting tho fight agafnst Oeorge Tebeau. Up to data the net results of that fight appear to be that the American , as sociated haa constituted Its circuit with out Omaha and that the' Western has lost Kansaa City and hasn't completed Its cir cuit, either". As a base ball 'magnate Mr. Burns Is a warm number. And it Isn't quit clear In what, if any degree, his un relenting animosity has affected the ma terial Chances of on a Oeorge Tebeau or one Thomas Jefferson .Hlckey. . They, ap pear to be. getting alonjf. about s-well as they did 'before the Colorado Springs man of untold means anounced his Intention of spending the .wealth of Cripple Creek If need he to wipe that pair off the base ball map. Ha hasn't dug very deeply Into his pile as yet, but he baa wiped Tebeau and Hlckey off any baaa. ball map that Colorado Springe la aver likely to be found on. He haa also ensured Omaha membership in a six-club league again. For this latter part we ought to gratefully - remember Mr. Burns. 1 ' - When Kansas City got word that Tebeau waa In Louisville, . with a fair prospect of suceess In his venture there, the Journal young man roae up In hla glee and thus ad dressed himself to Omaha: 1 'What observant fans In' western base ball circles have been watching for end ftropheaylng has quietly oorne to pass. The ndlcator on the dial of American associa tion affairs has been pointing to Louisville as the practical and in fact the only real solution to the sttuatipn since the forming of the organisation. The Including of Louisville In the circuit. Which is now complete and composed of 'eight excellent cltla, means that Omaha will have to content Itself with minor Western league nail. The abandonment of Omaha for the Kentucky metropolis has been talked of t wevks by those who foresaw the natural tren.4 tf affairs, ' and that such a move wouli v- made was firmly believed, it is hardl) A t abandonment, for Omaha was never fcjred as desirable or natural terri tory for th American association, and rightly, for the Nebraska capital Is pre eminently a Western league city.

Denver, j Colorado Bprlnan and a majority of the! cities which have so far hren enured to form a circuit and will undoubtedly make a good city fur the Wrstern league. It was patent from the start that It could nt be claused tho leapt bit favorably with Kanasft-City, Indianapolis, Milwaukee and such cities In a league where fast ball would be furnished. At one time, however. It looked as though Omaha would be included in the American affeoclatlon, even aa-alnft the protests ef the followers of the organisation. Presi dent Hickey made a proposition to Owner Kourke that had that ma una to leaning, hut the deal fell through. It was thought that with only one club Omsha would do in -a plnrh to go through he season on. The city would have undoubtedly supported one team, but two never. When the movers of the association saw that they were wasting time with Omaha they Megan to look toward Louisville, but In the mean time they kept this In the dark and worried the Western league with threats of Invasion, diverting sttentton away from their real intentions and movements to a certain extent. The news that Louisville 1s to be the eighth city In the circuit will be welcome to the local fans who have favored the Amerlda nassoclatlon because that organi sation favored them by placing Kansas City In a class where It belongs. At the conference held here a week ago yesterday the final steps In the matter were decided upon and Monday night Oeorge Tebeau left for Louisville and has been there ever since. This makes the circuit complete and President Hlckey can now put the finishing touches on the sched ule and call the meeting which will be held shortly In Chlcsgo. The circuit 'con sists of Ksnsas City, Minneapolis. St. Paul and Milwaukee In the west and Louls vtUa. . Indianapolis, . Toledo and Columbus UV the east, ..... There Isn't much consolation In that roast for Omaha, tans, but that's the best we will get. It Is quite gracious of the Kansas City yonth to admit that Omaha compares favorably with Denver. St. Joseph and other minor league towns. Tbat'a about as kind a word as Omaha ever -gets from Kansaa City, while from Denver we don't even get that., Weil, we will try to survive tha blow. It's hard to part with cherished prospects, to see fond hopes dashed, but we are not entirely devoid of hope and have a modicum at least of the optimistic philosophy that upheld the- Ksntucklan. lie. was in. bed waiting for his only shirt to dry after be ing washed. His. spouse ran into the room and crUd put that, the calf had- eaten the shirt. ''Wall, them es bes must lose, 'cause them es hein't kalnt," was his comment, as he turned on the other side to slumber again. We had a chance to get Into the big league and we lost. I What has become of all the talk about outlaws and .the like? Some of the pet names that were being hurled it Hlckey and bis supporters during the early part of the winter seem, to be .coming home, to roost. At any rate, when Tebeau can se cure from 'the National leagne.'th park it controls at LoulSvilK the prospects are that the National doesn't hare any t serious ln tentions of ostracising the American association.- Cf course, this deaF isn't complete, for th big league ts not in condition Just at present, to transact business of any kind.) Fending the adjustment of Its own difficulties It Is in no position to take any active part In the settlement of affairs of the-minors. But Pat Powers' anathema to the contrary notwithstanding, Tebeau is ne gotiating' tor the Louisville National league grounds, and who shall say bs will not get them? This spectacle ought to be quite a comforting feature to Mr. Thomaa Burns of Colorado' Springs, as he contemplates his otherwise complete overthrow of Tebeau. Just to think that Whits Wings, the boasted sage of base ball, haa If en woratsd in a contest by a man who n.ar dabbled in the game save aa a apectator before last fall; and this veteran la driven by this apparent tyro out of the Western league and out of Kansas City, clear over Into Louisville. Awful, Isn't ltT ' . . While waiting tor the magnates to catch their second wind and come again the pipe dream artlets. are getting In ' their work on the time-tried and fire-tested yarns about the aalary of players, one ot ine first, and. In aoma respeota the best comes from a laundry in Pittsburg. This gem of the dope fiend's Imagination runs to the effect that "Hans" Wagner walked into Barney Dreyfuss' ofZct ne day Juat before the cold wave ati-uck the town and laid down a letter from Charley Somen. Dreyfuss read the leisr, which was an offer to "Germany" of M.500 a pear ror two years to Join the Boston Americans. . Nine thousand dollars vould be depositea tn a bank to Wagner's credit and he could have it. play or not. It he would desert Pitts burg. And wbtle Dreyfuss waa beginning to gather gloom over the prospects or losing Ms fsst fielding, hard-hitting star, Wagner put hla John Hancock to a Pittsburg con tract for one year at the rate of $3,000 per. That'a tha atuff ball playera are made of nit. But Just wait. Here's another. This time Deacon Whitfield ot Kansaa CHv cooked the pill, and out of the aroma arose a vision Ilka this: The new management ot Detroit made to Charley Nichols an offer ot $5,000 a year for two years and a 11.600 bonus If he would drop the Western league and come to Detroit. With that devotion to business principles which haa always marked hts career as a ball player, the Kid turned his back on the $11,600 and went on signing players for hla Kansaa City team. What's a measly thousand dollars a month to a magnate T Of course Denver couldn't keep out of this. And Otto Floto ot the Poet run hla 'mobile down to a Mar ket atreet Joint for a moment. When ha came back It waa to tell a waiting world that "Little Eva" Lange had Just signed with Packard to manage and captain the Denver team during the coming aeaaon, Just what . salary Bill is to. get Floto doesn't tell us, but he does tell us that Bill had Just refused an offer of $6400 a year from fioaton, setting hla figure at $8,000 ' and aylng'he wasn't very particular at that. TbtaV'et xovrsa, .means - that -Packard pays at-seaat $8,000 for his California wonder, What Is needed now la for some of the dreamers to tell Us that John "Muggsy" McQraw haa returned lo Frank DeHaas Robinson the $10,000 he buncoed the St. Louis magnate out of and then we ean all go to sleep again. In fact, we'll hare to, . President Whitfield haa shaken off the lethargy which had for s couple of weeks bound him down to silence, and happy la the reflection that Tebeau ras gone to Louis ville, says the Western lesgue skies are brighter than ever and that pretty soon he will tell the public some of his plans. The great trouble with Whitfield la that aver since he waa made president of the Westers he haa done nothing hut tall ef his plans. He hasn't made good on any of them yet. He promises us some surprises this time, but he Is not tho only man from Missouri en this polat He must "show" a lot ot sceptical oiks. Ons thing ta certain. He'll have to let the public Into his -confidence to to what the circuit la to be pretty soon for tbeplsylng season wilt open in a couple of months. Jack Phllbln haa aold hla Buffalo interests to a company headed by Oeorge Stallings and la again out of bass ball. In the Buf falo Express of last Wednesday the tale Is told tbusly: . . The affairs of the Buffalo Baaa Rail sociatlon have been wound up and John J. Phllbln. ita preaident. who was to have been associated with the management under the first plan, has left for his home In Omaha. There waa general regret on the part of Mr. Phllbin's friends over the fact that he did not take a piece of the game with Oeorge Stalling. "I did not want it if my friends rould pot come in wnn me, shjci Mr. Phllbln. "I'm not at all dUapnolnted for mvlf but regret that wa failed to make it a go Iir tne omen, i teei aura mat wa all missed a good thin, for I believe that a irons club in HufTalo will make money for tis owners. However, there is no uae crvtna over the matter now. "I felt that there waa trouble in store, for US when the labor nneatlon came nut snd I advised Mr. Murray to step In the background until the affair had blown over or to dispose of his stock. He would not take a bark seat and tha nrlca that he placed on his holdings In the club was i-iunmnni ana i, lor one, would not our It. Added to these troubles wss the red flag that wss waved In President Powers' face, when, at a meettng-ln Mr. Carey's office, one of our members said that It was not necessary to play or remain In the Eastern league, meaning, 1 suppose, that we would or rould take the team Into the American association or some other league. This was probably tha straw that broke the camel's back and the next thing we knew was that the Eastern league had msen tne rranchlse out or onr hands ana given it to Mr. Btalllngs. "I have settled mv affairs with Mr. Hus- sey and Mr. Murray and I am eatltfled to ao tvack to Omaha and take care of my buri- ness. i nave nothing nut tne best wishes ror the future of base ball In this city, and t hope and expect that Oeorge Btalllnge will give Buffalo a winning team. Jle is a very fine man and from my conversation with him I am convinced that he knows hts business. I predlot success for him. I have been handsomely treated In Buffalo and I regret that I am forced to lenve." Apparently. Mr. Phllbln a associates share In his good feelings toward the club. Harry Murray has already declared that his snare in the failure to secure the franchise would not prevent his remaining an enthusiast of the first water. Lest nlaht In the Iro quois Mr. Hussey expressed the same sen timent to a reporter lor tne Express. "I am sorry that matters did not go otherwise, and I could have been Identified with the club, with Messrs. Phllbln and Murray," said Mr. Hussey. "Everything Is about settled up now, or will be, when Mr. Stallings returns to town. I under stand -that he -will reimburse - ua . f on. any, outlay in the mtater, of expense, we , have been to. within ' reason. ' With :matt&r: ill settled in that direction, I purpose to follow tne rortunes or the ciud witn an interest and hone for ita success. -. I am as-confi dent now as I was before that there Is a. splendid future for. a good clun here. I have nothing against Mr. Stalling, I be lieve that he held out of the mlxtip- until he saw that the franchise could hot come here to us, and then, as he said, he stepped in. I believe Mr. Powers destroyed kll pros pect ot our succeeding'- in our. negotiaj ttona." , , ,. ... Up from St. Joseph Just at the close ot tho week comes the announcement', that Magnates Van Brunt and Burns and Presi dent Whitfield are busy Incubating a West ern league circuit. Magnate Van Brunt Is the only member ot the committee who would talk and he didn't have much to say. He denied that' the Western league would be satisfied with a six-club circuit It now has aeven cities, he says. This Includes Omsha, - Denvr, - Des Molnei,. Colorado Springs, St. Joseph, Kansas City and Mil waukee. Indianapolis Is td be taken In for the eighth, and it Dea Moines drops out Toledo will get the franchise. Mr. Van Brunt says the circuit commltteo Is looking for larger towns. That's all. . '. COUNTRY CLUB'S WATER MAIN Pott In Greens ,to Be Well Kent Daring; Samaner by 'Con stant Irrigation. Directors of the Omaha Country club.have decided not to enlarge the grounds or extend the course this year, as was planned. Thla determination has been made because of the heavy expense that the club' will undergo In piping the links this spring. This Job will coat about $,000 All ar rangements hvre been completed tor doing It and the contracts are - now lot for the work. This valll be very extensive, . as a water main must be carried from, the near est point on the water system, as it is at present This la away this side oft-the club toward the city, near the place Where the stub street car Una -leaves the main tracks. A full-slsed main wlll.be laid to the club grounds and that part alone will he an expensive piece of work.. Then comes the network of smaller' six piping which will radiate from the mala Jlne all over the course. . '- -. '; '' This system of Watering,' as planned,- will be elaborate and complete in every particu lar. Each one of the eighteen-greens wl,l)j have Ita connection, so that regular waters Ing can he done around all the holes. Pro vision Will also be made for wetting down other portions of the course if so desired, although it is very Improbable that any necessity for this will ever arrive. - . The difference which tbia will make In the condition of the greens at the club can-hardly be realised, ao great an Im provement will there be. It simply In sures a perfect green. If .the proper at tention as regards surface and level given. In the spring, when , the turf Is fresh and the air cool, the greens have generally been In good conditions, but Just as soon as the hot days come the grass dies out, leaving a series ot tufts here and there, and the interstices between these grow soon Into real rote. Without water It la Impossible to remedy these defects or to prevent them.. The club directors have reached the con clusion that thla improvement alone will he so marked that the enlargement of the course can well be emitted for another sea son, aa people will be so glad to have good greens that they will not object Just .be cause the course la less than standard alxe. Even if they did, it has been decided that the double expense would be too much of a burden tor simultaneous achievement When' the links are enlarged it Is , prob able that the club will go to the South for more ground. The rolling territory extends on In that direction in ideal rises and falls. being separated from the present grounds only by a road. Gates or stiles could be set in the fences on both sides of the road, and this place made a haxard between two holes. Coming around again on the return trip further up the field, the same thing could be done. Thla would doubtless be a successful expedient, and would gtve ample room -for . the. .extension of the course, so that It could be standard, or even above stsndard, if desired. About 1,700 yards must be added on to.make' t,b,e regulation. $.000 tor the eighteen holes,, j It; in- probable i that emalj,.pprt,r6a .pf this extra .dlstapce cou. still be.jMcured. oo tha present grounds, but not ' enough, 'to maks it worth while making the changes. Even as it is. some of the holes and much of the track between them are dangerously nesr the fences, and they will be allowed to remain as at' present till the bigger change Is made. Meanwhile work on the piping will com mence Just as soon as tha ground la suffi ciently thawed to allow It The directors hope to hsve 'it finlthed before ' even the earliest golfers open up their lockers and get out their togs and favorite sticks. - That meana that the piping will be rushed with all speed possible, for there are a good many gutty fiends In' Omaha -who will hardly wait tor the first sign of spring before they will wish to start at the game.

N. P. Dodge, Jr.,' Is president of the club. Ezra Millard is secretary an,d C. H. Brown la treasurer. ' These three, with C. T. KounUe snd 'J. L. Brown, comprise the board ot director. The other members are: L. L. Kountze, Samuel Burns, Jri, R. K. Brown, 8. 8. Caldwell, C. H. Brown, Alfred Millard, Frank Haskell, Clarke Pow ell, Conrad H. Toung, Joe Barker, George1 Palmer, E. M. Moramah, Jr., H. W. Tates, Jr., J, W. Battln, Henry T. ' Clarke, Jr., Fred Rustln, Harry Lyman, J. T. Stewart and Fred Wearne. Two tournaments have already been held by the club, and competition Is of the keen est. Yesterday the third tournament began. Entries closed on Friday, and drawings were held not only for the regular tourna ment, but far a consolation event aa well. The preliminary rounds will be played oft so that the keml-flnals of both the regular and the consolation tournaments can be1 played the sains night, side by side, on the two courts. Then th finals ot both can also be played off simultaneously. . This arrangement is for the benefit ot the spectators, ot whom there ar not a .few. Blnce their 'masculine admirers have gone In for vigorous athletics of the squash variety, the young society women have en tered into the spirit' of the thing with equal seat, and between them the rivalry In sup. port of their favorites for first honors Is as keen as that between the contestants themselves.' TO accommodate these onlookers a grand stand haa been built In the hall. It is high above the courts at th rear end, com manding a thorough view of both. The two courts are aide by aide, and built exactly parallel, with only a dW'.dibg partition for a play wall between. Another Improve ment that has been put In since the club started out Is a back wall extending along th rear ot both courts, and aeven feet high. This doubles th fascination - and Intricacy ef th gam, a th hall can new bs played off -either side, or the front or rear. Locker rooms and baths complete the equipment., Th game Itself is now ao modified as to be almost the same a racquets, played so much In the east. The only real differ ence is that the balls are hard and smaller for racqusts, while -tennis balls ar used In squish, and in racqusts a smaller rac quet than th tennis utensil Is used. This similarity girts men who have played rac quets a great start at the game of squash. Those mete hers whs played that gam at school ar mostly expert stars of - the Omaha club, and tennla players also catch oa very rapidly. Others, too, who have never played either game, but who are naturally athletlo and agile, have becomo good squash players. Ths best men in the club at present are Luther Kountze, Dick Stewart, Frank Haskell, N. P. Dodge, Jr, and Samuel Burns. Jr. Whist tin) Scores.
