That U the present status of affaJra In
th world of bat ball. During the week
meeting was held at Buffalo, tba ostensible
object of which waa to adopt ualform play
ing rules. Much debate waa had, and
alight modification waa recommended for
the rule In regard to atrlkea and balls. Tba
neat notable feature of (he meeting waa
the admlaelon to full fellowship of delegatei
from the American association. After de
nouncing tnese men a ouiiawa ana pro
Bouncing the ban of excommunication
gainst them. It must have afforded Pat
Powers Iramense satisfaction .to alt' In the
aame meeting', with them. , But Pat
la doubtless a philosopher all truly
great men are aod knows when he
is' licked. In talking aboujf matters
one Western ' league ' magnate ' said
he could not understand how these Amer
ican delegates happened to be present, and
then naively added; "They must hare been
admitted aa representatives of an independ
ent league." To a man up a tree, It would
eem so. Surprise over their admission will
not be very widespread, though, for faith
la Pat Powera' alleged' authority to bind
and loose la not very deep- outside of cer
tain quartera, and even there some skepti
cism exists. In any event, the meeting Is
not likely to be long remembered nor to
have any direct effect on the course of
bape ball, for at hla Drat opportunity Ban
Johnson declared that his league would not
be bound by the rules adapted -there, and
Thomas Jefferson Hlckey aald "mea tooa."
These gentlemen being the representatives
ot the only two Independent leagues operat
ing between the Rocky mountains and tba
Atlantic coast. It la probably all off with
tba Buffalo code.
No, gentle reader.' It Is not a mistake to
refer to the two Americana aa the only In
dependent leagues. The National, a long
lovingly referred to as the "big" league, la
rapidly going the way of other "big" things
in thla country, the "big fellow" for ex
. ample. When Ban Johnson entered the
field the National league magnatea laughed
him to acorn. They wouldn't listen to him,
and Invited him to go bis length. Wail,
Ban Johnson put the "big" league on the
hog, and didn't bait try. He simply went
ahead and organized hla teams In the cities
elected, played ball, made money and now
aarenely faces a world that frowna on all
base ball leagues but hla. In the Interim
the "big" league la split in the middle,
four clubs against four clubs, an effort to
elect g president Is tied up In court and the
whole affair in such condition that an al
most complete reorganization must take
place before any' business can be transacted.
80 the National la a long way from
being Independent. When Tom Hlckey waa
president of the Western league he had no
hesitation in entering as a member of the
National Association of Minor Baae Ball
Leagues, of which P. T. Powera la presi
dent. When Tom Hlckey became president
of the American association he refused to
acknowledge longer the suzerainty of Mr.
Powera, declining to be classed as a minor
league. ' The American association waa Im
mediately denounced aa an outlaw organi
sation, ita sole offense being its, refusal to
enter the 'minor .league fold. Mr. Powers
wanted hi astern league to be considered
the veal thing and waa aupported In thla
by Mr. Tim Murnaae, esq., president of the
New England league, who furnished Mr.
rowers with a very Instructive aad. In aome
, ways, amusing compilation from the census
of 1900, to ahow how absurdly fallacious
were the Hlckey aspirations to major
league honors. But Hlckey declines to be
classed with the minor leagues, and, there
tore, la aeciaxea an outlaw by the power
or Powers. Up to date Hlckey la aeveral
paraaanga la advance of the procession led
by the president ef the Eastern league,
It will, therefore, be easily seen that The
Bee la quite correct In calling Ban John
aon and Tom Hlckey the only independent
base ball presidents In the eaatarn half
of the United States at present. Al 8peld
Ing may be somebody In this class, but Pat
Powers never will.
Another feature of the week was the
postponement of the Western league meet
Ing which waa to have eonvened at Den
ver last night This waa put off one
month. . No very deep research Is needed to
develop the reason. When the Kansas
City mealing adjourned tba circuit was
left Incomplete, and ao far at aurface In
dlcatlona go no great progress baa been
made toward filling the gaps. It la now
certain, that neither Milwaukee nor Indian
spoils, which were so confidently claimed,
will be on the list. In pes Moines the
prospects are the poorest. At Kansss City
little or nothing la known.' The Western
league enthusiasts still claim that Man
nJng and Nichols will put la a team there
to compete with the American association
but the publio expression all seems te dls
credit this talk. Colorado Springs, Den
ver, St. Joseph and Omaha are the only
towna the Western la certain of. Preal
- dent Whitfield la reported to be negotiat
ing with Peoria with a fair degree of auc
ceea. No other reaaonably available can
dtdate appears. With only about all weeks
left to make up the circuit, It la plainly
up to the Western to hustle.
Tom Burns, the Colorado Springs money
burner, baa acquired the magnate habit
for fair. He doesn't sleep at night, owing
te the pregnant thoughts that aurge through
his teeming brain, each big with poasl
billtlee for the league In which he has
staked bla base ball reputation. When
daylight cornea each morning he bunts up
the nearest reporter and outlines to him
another campaign of triumph. This one Is
tsken at raadom from a choice collection
of Ihtervlewa furnished the Colorado press
during the week by the effervescent Mr.
Burns:
The. story that haa ben going the ro-jnds
of the prees to the effect that the Western
league will dleband In a day or ao has riot
the slightest foundation. 1 have said that
the American waa on the run and I atlll
say It. When I was ea-t the other day
Manning and Preeldent Whitfield strongly
urged me to allow the entire Western
league situation to htt printed, but I would
not agree to It. Therefore, 1 don't feel
that I am privileged to give out any secret
information at preeent. .
Friday next Van Brunt of St. Joseph and
myself will be In Milwaukee to look oyer
the situation. The manager of the Mil
waukee Western league team will ac
company us. It in my opinion that the
American association will never play ball
In Milwaukee. Havershaw, half owner of
the team with Harry Quln, la at outs with
his partner and wants to come over to the
Western, bag and baggage.
In Kansas City I predict that the situa
tion la going In favor of the Western ee
fast as it can and I don't think Tebeau will
ever play there. Hlckey has offered to
make concessions to Van Brunt and myself,
but I did not care to talk to him. The
American association magnates are '''
and ersred badly. They have two cltiee
that they can count on, Columbus and
l,oulsvllla, which are good ball towns for
the first mon'h, but poor afterward. Tney
are tied up everywhere else and are ready
to confer with ua If we care to have them.
Toledo wants to come Into the Western
and hns offered to pay the expense of the
Western league circuit oommlttee If It will
come there and look over the aquation.
They have got plenty of backing. Watklns
of Indianapolis now wants to accept our
propoaltlon, but I have not decided about
this yet.
Mr. Burns could confer no greater favor
on aeveral thousand Omaha ball cranka
than to allow the Whole altuallon
In regard to the Western league to be made
public. What we want to know Is the
truth. Pipe stories have lost their grip
here. Omaha expects to have a team In
the Western league this sesson. Expects
to get good ball and will give It good
patronage, as It always has, but Omaha
wanta to know something more definite
than has yet been confided to the public.
Three or four weeks ago the people here
were worked up to a fever atage over the
prospecta of getting Into faster company.
That prospect was blighted and the blight
1s properly . ascribed to Mr. Bums. Now
that It Is certain that Omaha is to be in
the Western league, the faithful, here
would like to know what they are going
to get. The "Just wait" story la getting a
little monotonous. At the time of the Kan
sas City meeting Omaha was -the biggest
toad In the Western puddle. Now that
Omaha Js fixed, the tune has changed aad
It la ''Van Brunt of St. Joseph and My
self" who are running the show. Well,
so far aa Omaha la . concerned, Messrs
Van Brunt of Bt. Joseph and Myself" are
welcome to the lime light If they will only
do something. We are weary, oh, so weary
of the fairy tales we have been told. Let
'Van- Brunt of St. Joseph and Myself" get
action and quit talking to us about pulling
towna out of the American association. If
we are to have Peoria, Sioux Cits, Wichita,
Emporia, Pueblo, Lincoln, Wahoo, Pacific
Junction or any other towna to make up
the circuit, let ua know it. ' Omaha haa the
most loyal, lot of ball cranks In the world,
but "this suspense Is killing ua." Please,
good Mr. Burnk, the next time Van Brunt
Manning, Whitfield or anybody else asks
yon to give up the situation, do It. Baae
ball in different from a raining deal,, you
know.' Tou must have publio support to
make a ball. team go. .
Teeterday the Western' lesgue magnatea
met at St., Joseph And i admitted, after due
deliberation, 4hat there is no prospect of
the Western having a team In Indianapolis
thla year, but they, atlll bona to get into
Milwaukee and St. Paul." Rata. This fools no
one, but reminds all who ever aaw the play
strongly of Topsy'a - confession to Miss
Ophelia. When caught with the glass In
her hands and the ribbon up her sleeve.
Topsy, owned up thus: "I "'less do gloves

participate here this time. The shoot will
occupy the Isst week of April.
In addition to all thla there la always la
prospect the Oread Amerleaa handicap,
which will occur during the first week of
April at Kansas City. There will be eselly
seventy-five gunners from Nebrsska down
there, and ten Omaha shooters bsve aald
Iready that tbey will shoot through every
event.
The first Information relative to tbls tour
nament at live birds hss Just been Issued
by the officers of the assoclstlon. The pro
grams wHI be out February to. Accord
ing to the preliminary program there will
be, March II, an eight-bird and a twelve
bird event, no handicap; April 1 there will
be a alxteen-blrd event with the same rules
ae tba American handicap; April I, the great
American handicap will be opened aad will
be continued from day to day until completed.
The rules provide that birds will be
'extra" In all events, that money In every
event will be divided on the "high gun"
system; regular entries for the Grand
American handicap close March S3, and
post entries received after that date must
be accompanied wl'.h $19 additional fee.
Interstate Association's trap shooting rules
govern all contests, and the order of shoot
ing will be decided by lot. A sterling silver
trophy valued at $160 will be presented to
the winner of the Grand American handicap.
There will be a novel contest on the
Omsha Gun club grounds March 6. On
that day an all-Nebraska team will com
pete with the Omaha Oun club team In a
twenty-five' live bird event, ' The conteet
'111 be interesting from the fact that
mong the all-Nebraska team will be four
men who have always shot in the Omaha
team ana they are resolved to bring upon
their whilom brothers an ignominious defeat.
In the Brat place the challengere of the
11-Nebraska team apeclfied that the Omaha
team should be composed only of residents
of Omaha, South Omaha und Council Bluffs.
Then they gav the namea of the all
Nebraska team. The first man mentioned
was Dan Bray of Syracuse, one of the most
rellabje shots in the Omaha Oun club.
The second man named was Frank Beard
of Herman, the "B 27" entry, whoae acorea
have been the pride of Omaha In many a
closely contested match. The third name
was Dick Lindarman of Weeping Water,
another man whose average Is close to
the perfect mark. Then came the- name of
G. A. Scbroeder of Columbus, who has
often brought victory from the Jaws of
defeat when the Omaha Gun club was la a
close match. The other namea submitted
were George! Carter of North Platte! cap
tain; Terryberry of Louisville, Beverldge
of Fremont, Solvers of Grand Island, Burke
of Elgin and Blmpklns of Lttacolaa
The challenge has not been accepted, but
It undoubtedly will be at the next meeting
of - the club. A probable line-up . of the
contesting parties haa been made 'as fol
lows: Parmelee against Bray. Dick Kimball
against Llnderman, "Grant" against Beard,
Townsend against Scbroeder, Fogg' against
Carter, Lewis against Slmpklns, Hard'.n
against Terryberry,' Montmorency against
Burke, Beershelm against Solvere and
Burke against Beverldge. Such a combina
tion. It ia believed, would make a good
race and land the Omaha club-winner, al
though three of lis best men have gone
over to the enemy.
SCATTER-GUN PLANS GROWING
Tragi Followers See Their Gaaae
Eapaed mm Sprlaar Months
- .Cam Nearer- .
More shooting enthusiasm Is apparent In
Omaha during the present month than for
long time previous, snd the sportsmen
say that this and other indications are
that the coming summer. will be tbe best
shooting season In years. The member
ship of the different Omaha gunning or
ganisations is larger and healthier than
ever, as all tbe men are actually shooting
Tournaments have followed fast on each
other's heels this month and there are
still a half-dozen In view. At St. Ed
ward. Neb., Pete Simpson, the old Omaha
shooter, who now lives out in the burg
named, will give a three days' ahoot on
February It, 1 and 20. Five Omaha ahets
will go out and show Pete a time.
Then on February 20 and $1 there will
be two shoots In progress, one at Hast
Ings, Neb., and the other at Glldden, la
A large attendance la promised at both.
The biggest shoot of the month, and
therefore, one wnicn will attract more
Omaha sports than any other, la the one
which J. L. Forkner will give at Carroll
la., on February tS, II and 17. There will
be $400 added to the regular money, an
tbe prospect haa caused ten Omahana to
announce already that they will be there,
April, too, will be a gala month, for
then will come the biggest shooting event
of the year for Nebraska, and It will be
held here In Omaha. That Is the annual
state shoot and It appeara new that thla
will be the moot successful and most largely
attended of any state ahoot of the many
that have been held. Last year It oc
eurred at Lincoln and waa a great sue

The nineteenth week of 'play In the
Omaha Bowling league naa witnessed a
general shaking up In the relative positions
of both teams and individual rollers In tba
relative standings. At the same time It
baa been g week ot fairly good play, tba
pace aet the previous week having been
maintained by most of tbe clubs, and bet
tered by a fw.
The Omahas Increased their lead for' first
place somewhat, defeating the Oate City
mea two games, and profiting, further by
the drubbiag the Bt. Charles team admin
istered to the Clarksons. The play ot the
champions wae practically the aame ae that
of the week before, being thirty-nine pins
lower on total score. Meanwhile tbe Ger
mans were tbe bit of the week by making a
great leap from fourth place te tie with the
Clarksons for second. The Germans beat
the Westerns three gamee straight, and
their total was 1SI pins better than the last
one they made.
The Clarksons fell down miserably, thslr
score dropping 120 points in the week, aad
the t. Charles team took three from them,
but the latter men did not have to play
very hard to do It, ao their own score
showed a decrsase of lit points from that
ef the week before. Tbe Clarksons had
such a big lead for second place, however,
that neither their awn disaster nor tbe
successes of ' other teams - combined was
sufllclsat te head them fer tbe position. '
The Nationals Improved their game 191
polats, and took two from the Krug Parks,
who also bettered their scores. There
were no new high scores for teams set, and
tne .ealy radical change ia averages was
that by the Nationals, who Increased their
Sixteen pins.
With tbe Individual playtrs Emery ef the
Omahas haa done himself proud by going
from third place to a safe first. He Is ens

The bes.t total score' t)f the week ? waa
that of the Omabas, 2,634, while the same

Omahas for high score In a single game,

Two bowling events, one Just passed and
the other to come, have done much to spur
on the Interest In the sport. The first 'was
the contest with the Kansas City cham
pions. This brought out a crowd that Over
taxed tbe space U Clark's alleys, and It
Just served te show what a strong bold
tbe game has on the people, and In what
unexpected places and walk of life It has
laid Us captivating snares.
Tbe second event Is tbe tournament of two
man teams.' This will begin Friday night
with ten teams competing, including In
their personnel most of the best bowlera
In the city. Play will continue five weeks,
each. team playing five games,

BOXING GAME LOOKS BRIGHTER
aaaa-aaa-a-asa
Ssnlth. Gestae Males Be Followed
by Several ef Considerable
Local Interest.
The tea-round match between Eddie
Gardner -aad "Hatch" Smiths to occur at
Washington ball on February 28, Is attract
ing Interest In sporting circles for two
reasons. In the first place, both boxers
have made themselves "solid" with all who
bave seen thorn go by their clever work
and Industrious business throughout. Smith
has been In the ring In Omaha aeveral
times, and, although Gardner has appeared
only once, hla showing against Cle Oleson
on that occasion made him a warm favorite
here. -
The second reason why unusual 'interest
attaches te this event Is that it Is the Srst
of a series .of-fights which Oardner will
figure In here In rapid succession.. Aftsr
tba Bmlth affair Benny Yanger.aad Kid
Broad will both-be brought here te meet
Gardaer aad It la thought that both matches
will be. during March, If Oardner can atand
the work.
Another sporting - event for the near
future .that carrl-w considerable Interest is
the welterweight match between Billy
Rhodes of the Pacific coast and Mike
Shreck of Cincinnati. 8hreck Is. well known
here and hi showing In the mills which
he won from Danny Haley and Charlie
Burns at 8outh Omaha last fall bave earned
for him the sobriquet "The Whirlwind."
Not so much has been known of Rhodes,
except from his workouts ln training

BASE BALL AT HIGH SCHOOL
Boy Are Waking I'p aael , Proaalae
to Have Oood Team la
the Field.
Mascullns , athletics are now to be re
juvenated by the Omaha High school. After
weeks and months of lethargy tbe boys
have now roused at last from their trance
and will no longer let the girls share
alone the athletto honors of the Institution.
Tbe cause of the revival Is the approach
ing base ball season, and tbe High school
will begin early on Its team. Members
of last year's team have just elected Al
fred Falrbrotber captain for the coming
year. He Is well known aa a star end on
the right wing of the Omaha High school
foot ball team's line for four years past.
In the summer game he plays aa catcher.
- There are a great many - candidates and
tba prospects are good for a first-class
team. Emulating the example of the state
university squad, tbe boys will Indulge In
Indoor practice from now on till the
weather opena up sufficient for outdoor
work. They haven't the fine rage equip
ment ef the 'varsity men, but In the- baae
ment of (he old High school building they
have rigged up a good place, with plenty
of room, where the aspirants can exerc'se
their wings and practice on all kinds of
pusxle balls.
So, when tbe Nebraska men begin work
next Monday In their cage, the Omaha High
school boys will be working out for the
first time In their own Indoor quarters.
