ATHLETICS AT UNIVERSITY

Against Omaha,
MEM8EJS SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS
Indlvflaal Work Gratifying to the
toaihers nn4 Trans Play alada Bet-
ter by Reason of tho
Hard Biperleaeo.
Ttu first real opportunity which the stu
denU of the 1'nlverslty of Nebraska have
had to take to Inventory of thf capacities
and possibilities of their bate bail (quad
can during the last week In the shftpe of
thrie gamei with the Omaha leaguers on
I'nverslty Held and the result waa on the
while very satisfying to the collegiate
fa. Despite the dluagreeable weather
wUch marred two of the garnet, thoso
two, taken In connection with the last one,
payed under more favorable clrcum
annces, were eufflcient to demonstrate that
tie 'varsity team this year is to be some
tUng better than usual, and that ia saying
something worth while.
.'To the players, too, and especially to
Captain Bell, the contests with the pro
,'esslonals proved a most valuable standard
by which to gsuge their own abilities.
The boys feel that they have derived much
benefit from their encounter with the paid,
crack players and hereafter many little
clever playing tricks and eccentricities
which "Pa" Rourkes men use will be seen
cropping out In the Nebraskans' play, for
there Is no one so quick to aee a good stunt
and to imitate It as a oollege athlete. They
ail have their eyes open for details of form
and of system aa well and nothing that la
going on around them gata away, even
though it may he auccassful agalnat them.
Deeplto the fact that the league team
easily took all three games, the spectators
ware nevertheless not without rsal diver
sion, for there was much good ball playing
mixed In. The first game was the moat
unfortunate for the 'varsity, as the men
had stage flight for fair and fumbled and
rrored around In divers ways, aa If they
tad never done It right in their Uvea. Tho
aecond day they had recovered from this
feature, but on that oooaalon the weather
matt lnterrine.? to spoil the sport by send
ing a drUillng rain along. The third game
was the real thing. It was an ideal day,
the field was dry and snappy ball resulted.
All in all, the collegians showed up so
well that Bill Rourke opened up and pro
nounced them "a mighty good oollege
team" when he returned to Omaha.
Much of the Interest to the university
atudente lay not ao much in watching the
game ae in noting the work of the 'varsity
players. Bobby Gaines, the best all
around athelete in the school, waa in line
fettle during hie ocoupanoy of the box. He
throwe a tantalising ball, which battere
don't hit far when they do find it, and at
critical momenta he oomea along with rest
ful etrlke-outa. Bobby'e head is alwaye
with him, too, even when they are land
ing oa htm hard, and he la a good sticker,
being one of the reliable hitter of the
team.
Leatherby, the new freshman twlrler,
who made so good playing around northern
; Nebraska laat summer, hat phenomenal
apeed, with evldenoee of unoertaln oontrol
here and there. He struok out five Omaha
men in two Innings he pttohed, however.
' Captain Bell has had the good aense to
play out in the far garden, not changing
: himself to the lnfleld Just because he la
I captain, and he la aa usual a big olrous
iaetr He'ls hitting hard and fairly safe
' and hie base running te above reproach.
The boys like his handling of the team
immensely. '
"Sticks" DePutron In center field ie again
the one real "phenom" of the team. His
star catches of apparently Impossible flies
will be a tradition after he leavea achool
and won him his very first year tho sobrl
quet of the "circus catcher." The bes'
thing about "Sticks," however, la that he
always does it. Ills grandstand work is
Just as reliable as it is flashy. This Is
largely because he is a very fast runner
land quick starter, being the best sprinter
on the team, and also to his unerring
Judgment.
Hood is again at third base and has a
regular "Dolan" shoot to first. It la some,
thing fierce. He la a good batter aa well
Townsend is playing the infield at second
base a good deal this year, while ettll keep

uable man on the team, for he is a whirl
wind lnflelder, a pitcher aa rood as any
In the squad, an outfielder of such range
and capacity and reliability that they hate
to let him play anywhere elss, and withal
a ateady hitter.
"Dusty" Rhodes, lst year's -captain and
the best first base player, according to
professionals who have played against htm,
that ever donned an amateur's suit in Ne
braska, is doing his usual stunt at short
(top. Rhodes is not certain as yet, but !i
showing his old graoe, which has never
been duplicated at the 'varsity. There
are no angles to his game; he receives the
ball with a sweep and throws it in grand
style.
"Ike" Raymond is again on first base
aad la a trap, so they asy. From Indi
cations Raymond will better bts batting
this year, and it wouldn't be anything te
be ashamed of If be didn't.

old "Dad" Moore, who could Jolly up the
sickest bunch of teammates that ever

back, has added a mask and protector stunt
to his pitching Job and has made good both
places. His throw to second from behind
the bat Is worse thsn his throw to the
bst from the box, true and lightning-like.
Thomas, the new pitcher, an Indian boy,
waa given a five-lnnlng tryout. He was
hit freely, but has speed, and la promising
for a first year man. Shelmer, the fresh
man outfielder, proved himself a good actor
In tho right pasture during one game.

Mr. McCutcheon says that Iowa will have

has Just been selected captain, to take the
place of Billy Dubois, who was chosen at
the close of lsst season, but who could not
keep up sufficient school work to graduate
and play ball too, ao he dropped out early
thla spring. Dubois waa a third baseman.
Storey la a leftftelder.
Iowa'a foot ball schedule for next fall has
also been practically completed by Mr. Mc
Cutcheon. It reads:
October 4 Iowa flint Normal achool. at

The Nebraska Wealeyan university gives
promise of exhibiting some base ball ac
tivity this season. The students have or
ganized an athletic association, adopting
the Intercollegiate constitution, and consid
erable money has been raised for equipping
and uniforming the team. There Is a good
diamond and. If possible, the grounds will
be fenced and Beating provided, but this Is
scarcely hoped for this year.
Games have already been scheduled with
most of the colleges In Nebraska and with a
few beyond the border. The season may
not be a very successful one as far as win
ning games ia concerned, but it marks
Wesleyan'a entry Into the field on a firm
and permanent basis. W. B. Smith of Uni
versity Place Is manager of the team.

LONDON, April U. (New Tork World
Cablegram Special Teelgram.) Edna May,
the faaclnatlBg New Tork actress, who is
still appearing In "Kittle drey" at the
Apollo theater, lately made a great con
quest, that of Rajah Kumar, the son and
heir of the maharajah of Kuch Bohar, one
of the wealthiest of the Indian princes and
a well known figure in London society.
Kumar has become absolutely Edna's
shadow. He Is to be seen about her every'
where, shopping In the West End, meeting
In the park, lunching and dining at various
restaurants, while every evening he elte
admiring her from stalls. He has loaded
Edna with splendid presents.
The other night she made a decided sen
satlon at the Savoy hotel by appearing In
a very smart frock blazing with all the
Kuch Bohar crown Jewels, valued at nearly
$2,000,000, which were presented to her by
the rajah. This came to the ears of the
maharajah, who forthwith visited Edna
and demanded that she restore the gems,
which, beeldee being of Immense value, are
crown property, and It Is not In the power
of anyone, not excepting himself, to gtve
them away. He le prince of a native state
of Bengal, India, a trifle larger than Rhode
Island, very fertile and like most Indian
states, very rich. It has a population of
about 600,000 persons. The maharajah, or

barn, where the property was found.
Search warrants were at once Issued, the
bouse was entered and found to be Oiled
with all sorts of plunder. Only Mrs.
Howard was at home. Mr. Howard had
disappeared, as had the boy, who fled to
Jersey City, where be was found and ar
rested, but in the meantime he had com
municated with his father and took his ar
rest with the greatest degree of composure,
even smiling contemptuously at the police
when they tried to make blm tell where
bis father had gone.
Then the exploration of the house began.
On tbe back porch was found a nearly new
road wagon. In tbe hallway waa a new
double sleigh. How It was put Inside the
door the police cannot explain. Tbe house
has fourteen room a and each room was
full of goods. Three wagon loads of prop

which ran from fancy embroidery to new
stoves.
