All the Kami la the Western league have
had a chance now to stretch themeelvee
and see what they can do, and the result
la decidedly satisfactory. Their patroni
can rest comfortably In the pro pec t of
teeing tome bang-up baaeball during the
eaaon. That much la eettled. It la too
aoon to baae a prediction aa to the out
coma of the pennant race, but It'a aure ae
thootln' that the winner will have to play
ball all the way. Thote teama that were
thought to be weak hare ahown weakness
only In auch waya aa may be charged solely
to lack of practice. Baaeball Isn't prop
erly started until hot weather aeta In, and
lo Improvement In every branch of the
gam may be expected. Omaha baa made
good ao far In the promise of assemblage,
and has turned out the strongest fielding
team that ever represented the Gate City
on the diamond. The pitching staff la an
excellent one In every respect and geta the
best of support all tr way round the field.
Tbla was most forcibly shown on Tuesday
during the exciting twelve-inning contest
with Peoria. Twelve clean hlta were made
off Oraham'a delivery by the visitors, and
yet they were able to aecure but two runs.
Only superb fielding support could have
aecured that result. And, then, that bunch
of aluggera Billy Hart has gathered lined
out many a ball during that giue that
would have been hlta wltfi" work cf the
average base ball team. Omaha'a onl de
feat ao far this aeason Is due aolely to
an error of judgment on part of the ster.d
lest players on the team, a thing not likely
tn occur aaaln In a hundred games, nor
to weigh so heavily If repeated In each.
Other teama In the league are coming
Into their stride In good shape, with the
exception of 8t. Joseph. McKlbben and
hta aalntly crew run into all kinds of hard
luck out weat and fell far short of the
showing they were expected to make. This
Is not at all likely to discourage them, and
a quite different tale will be heard from
the home aeries. Milwaukee, too, has
played better ball than the standing table

Qulnn eeoras to have gathered together a

and have played excellent ball up to date,
Western fana are well pleased with the
samples presented and look forward con'
tenledly to a aeaaon of splendid base ball
All over the country the gamea are going
faater than ever. Playera are up on their
toe all the time everywhere and the dally
reporta of the gamea are delightful reading
for those who love to follow the tabulated
acorea through the aeaaon. Attendance has
been good everywhere save at the Amert
can association games. Columbus baa bad
good crowda, the people there seeming to
have abandoned everything for the ball
game. At Toledo the Sunday crowda have
been large, but the week-day attendanoe
has been very small, one game laat week
being played to 800. Indianapolis will not
allow Sunday ball and the week-day crowds
range around 500 to 600. Louisville Is like
Toledo, g"od crowda on Sunday, but small
on week days. With payrolla ranging
around $3,500 to 5,000 a month, the at
tendance will have to be much larger than
this If the American association clubs
weather the aeason through.
Omaha'a present trip will bring the team
against four opponent and will afford a
fair Idea of what sort of a read team It
Is. Fifteen games are scheduled and the

After a consultation the American league
magnate have decided to fight the In
junctions the National la securing against
the "rubber legs." It didn't take Ban
Johnson long to see that If the salarle had

have the players Involved In the game

ATHLETICS AT THE UNIVERSITY

Never had the University of
Nebraska
such cause to be proud of lta
base ball
exponents aa now, and no
one connected
Interested in
with the institution or
tn any way to shirking his duty in
that regard. The expressions of en
thusiasm and triumph that have en
dured at Lincoln ever alnce the victory of
the Gophers, all through last week's
glories over Kansas opponents, have never
been duplicated In the causa of base ball
and few pigskin demonstrations have been
their, equal. Bonfires and alg-xag
marches, accompanied by constant yelling,
singing and turmoil, have become ao com
mon that the appearance of a howling mob
of elated students in a hotel, theater or
other public place haa almost ceaaed to at
tract notice now save from strangers who
have not become familiar with thla sort
of atunt.
Nor can anyone say that thla extreme
celebration ia In exaggeration of the real
merit of the 'vanity team. Undoubtedly
Nebraska has never bad one aa good, and
a clean record of winnings over all col
lege oomera to date Is certainly deserving
of recognition In the moat pronounced stu
dent manner.
With auch atrong schools as the Uni
versity of Minnesota, Washburn college

Cornhuskera may well begin to claaa them

on Friday at Lincoln was th final gam
of the aeaaon there unleaa the University
of Minnesota can be persuaded to give a
return gam In Nebraska, In which rasa
tn date will be some time after the team
returna from Its long trip on May 19
The 'varsity fans, however, are not sat la
ded with having their favorites thus sud
denly cut oft from them and will do every
thing that can be done to bring about
some more gamea on the home grounds.
The team bas now left on Its final long
trip, which takes It up agalnat fourteen of
the best college and university teams In
Iowa, Illinois, Indians, Missouri and Kansas.
No doubt Is felt that the boya will acquit
themselves with all credit, and. although
such a thing would be extremely unusual,
there is mu h actual hope expressed that
the team will com out of th long series
of engagementa unscathed aa to record
For a Cornhusker baa ball team to come

Lawn tennis at the university has leaped

has appeared, in the person of Falyer, from
Iowa. He is working for form to enter
the Interstate tournament at Sioux City
next aummer. He has a great La ford
stroke and can probably best anyone In
school but Farnsworth.
Many tournaments are planned for the
season, and the first occurs this week.
This is to determine the team to play
Kansas here shortly. It seems a surety
that Farnsworth and Falyer will secure
the places, but Peters, Telner and Roth
will be strong runners up. In addition to
these local events many matches with
other universities are planned. The latest
proposition is to meet Minnesota and Iowa
as well as Kansas.
Track events took a little Jump forward
last week because of a field meet, which
was a sort of trial event. Some good
runners are working, as was developed at
this meet, and with more training It would
not be surprising if they should break some
of the university records as well as amasb
Borne state figures.
The most Important matter in track af
fairs is the construction of two new cinder
paths north of the gymnasium, which are
Just completed. One is for the broad
jump, the other for the pole vault. These
are a great help, as it has been impossible
to get the sole spikes well Into the ground
for some time. Coach Booth feels that
these paths are considerable of a compen
sation for hla failure to get a cinder track.
WHEELMEN TAKE THE ROADS
Revival of Clnb Runs Flnda Many
Omaha Rider Racer to
Participate. ,
Residents of the smaller towns in the
vicinity of Omaha have been astonished
at divers times during the last few days
to see a swarm of wheelmen In " bright
colored togs emerge from a cloud of dust
down the road and descend upon the mu
nlclpallty In Its quietude. Sometimes the
bikers merely whir right on down the main
street and out at the other end of the
town. Other places they stop, rest, eat
and return on the road which led them
Here.
Not since 1895 and 1896 have such sights
as these been seen In Nebraska, and to
the youngster of today they are as new
and aa much of a novelty as they were
to the boya of seven years ago, when the
bicycle club and club run fever was at lta
height. The older heads, however, have
faint memories of events of which the
present ones are exact repetitions, and the
village oracles can be aeen scratching their
heads and wondering "When -was it I Been
a can a like that?"
These doings make it eeem certain that
the bicycle burn haa really begun to smart
again, and It has. Not In many years
haa any crowd of wheelmen scoured along
the country roads till this spring, and the
revival of the club runs Is the surest
Indication of the return of the "tin horse"
to popular favor.
Omaha wheelmen have already made two
runs, and they have a regular schedule
of them planned for Saturdaya and Sundays
for many moons to come. The third of the
BTles will occur today and will be to
Crescent City. Ia., and return. The start
will be made at 1:30 this afternoon from
Seventeenth Btreet and Capitol avenue. The
rldera who have participated In previous
runs will be there, and It is expected that
many more will Join the party.
No one need atay away because of a rear
that he would find himself entered In
scorching contest. There Is no feature of
hat kind In connection with the run. A
Dace of about eight miles an hour la car
rted and frequent atops are made, ao that
th tnurnev is in every way a matter of
pleasure and not of records and speed. Ia
fact, the one thing that above an otnera
makoa certain the permanency of th
blcvcle revival is the fact that the eprlnt

hereafter be the rule. Wheeling had

Twelva wheelmen took the first run ot

and the bikers arrived in time to see the
base ball game between the Fort Crook and
Bellevue teams. The road waa round to d

who had not been on a club run in five
yeara could not but notice the great differ
ence in ease and comfort of riding that
raaulted from the later improvements to
hlcvrtes. such as the cushion frames

known a few yeara ago.
The next Sunday, April 27, another run
waa taken, thla time to Millard. Nineteen
wheelmen participated and they formed
most unusual spectacle, aa to see so many
rldera on the road together la something
that haa not occurred in Nebraska for so
Ions that It looks new. Single riders, true
with their devotion to the wheel unshaken
by the desertion perpetrated by fickle popu

century runs and regular trips, and maybe

OUR TOURNEYS ANNOUNCED FOR MONTH
Players Will Be Kept Raey Murine;
May with Match Play for
Different Trophies aad
Honors.
Previous to the annual formal opening
ef the Omaha Country club yesterday two
communications of Importance were mailed
to each member of the organization. The
rst waa a circular letter, comprising an
Invitation to the opening, a recount of the
Improvements that have been made In house
and grounds, an announcement of the seven
tournaments determined upon by the tourn
ament committee for the month of May,
nd, finally, the statement that the Country
club team will be chosen from the scores
turned In during these contests.
In this circular It was also announced
that the house, tournament and greens com
mittees had all adopted new rules, owing
to the changed conditions, and member
were urged to familiarize themselves with
the text at once. It la the book containing
these new regulations which forms the sec
ond communication. The pamphlet Is a
neat affair in green covers, small, compact
nd well arranged. Players are asked to
read the rules before each tournament In
order to avoid dlapute and discussion and
to facilitate play, and are also requested to
carry the books with them during play In
order that sny difference of opinion may
be readily settled.
Of these two announcements the one of
most immedlated Interest to the golfers Is
that of the May matches. The first of
these waa the one of yesterday, a handi
cap match for men over the elghteen-bole
course, medal play. No entrance fee was
required and the prlzea were the Cartan
cup for the best handicap score and the
Rtdwell trophy for the best medal score.

to play within one hour of the time set

there are any defects or weak spots in the constitution they are apt to develop as warm weather
comes on, and diseases that have lain dormant all Winter come to the surface. To prevent
this S. S. S. should be begun at once, so that the germs and seeds of disease may be destroyed,
and the poisons and acids in the blood antidoted and neutralized while in a torpid or inactivo
state, then with strong, healthy blood and a free and active
circulation the machinery of life moves on with vigor and
regularity, and not only a good appetite is assured, but sound
digestion and refreshing sleep. S. S. S. is the best remedy
for that " fagged out and semi-invalid condition " so common
at this season of the year, and the benefits derived from its

BOWLERS ANDJTHEIR SCORES
Record Made ia Two-Man Team
Tourney and Prises Awarded
Therefor.
Three Important developments In bowling
maraea tne past week's sport in that aame
One was aa event, another a decision, the
tnird a proposition. The first waa the com
pletlon of the two-man tourney, the sec
ond waa an apparently final determination
mat mere will be no one-man stammer
tourney held In the near future, as had
been prognosticated, while the last is a plan
to nave anotner two-man tourney. Aa an
other feature, though a minor one, of thla
summary. It might be aald that despite
tne advent ot several warm days the bowl
lng waa not noticed to fall off to any un
healthy degree and the laat thing the al
leys had to asy for themselves all over the
city last night waa "full bouse."
Even more auspicious than Its commence
ment was the closing of the two-man tour
ney, and the distribution ot the different
honors after the last few tardy teama
played off their final gamea was watched
with the keenest Interest by the local
lowers of the game. In many waya this
tourney may be held up as a model con
test of the kind, for never from atari to
finish did the interest of the competitors
lag In the slightest, nor waa Its progress
marred at any stage by a general bad alump
or scores such aa beset the Omaha Bowl
ing league during aeveral weeks' at differ
ent times.
As a matter of fact, the failure of the
one-man tourney to materialize may be
credited wholly to the success of the two-
man tourney, for the talk now Is to have
another double one very soon, and this
prospect haa shut the one-man proposition
from the view of the bowlers. The rollers
aeera to have a atrong predilection for
rolling In pairs, for while in ao doing they
are compelled to share with each other all
possible honors, they alao are enabled to
share the responsibility for probable de
feats.
So a new twe roan tourney Is the present
plan on foot. T. e idea Is to have It follow
closely upon h lines ef the one Just com
pleted. It la col uurd that the number
of entries and tj. length of the tourna
ment aa well were ii.t (or aucb a contest,

It will be seen from thla tabulation that
Huntington and Lehman take first money,
$25, with high total. Zarp and Emery took
second, $15, and Hartley and F. Conrad
third, $5.
Hartley distinguished himself further by
winning the individual total score trophy.

For only those' four ' placea were there)
prizes, but others of the bowlers achieved
different honors. Zarp rolled the highest
Individual score for a single series of three)
games, making 636, which is, by the way, a
very high score, showing an average of 211
per game. Zarp and O'Brien meanwhile Are
a tie for first Individual single gan
honors, both having thrown 236 during th
tourney. Zarp and Emery took high team
score for one aeries of three gamea with
1,137. Thus Zarp was In It thrice.
It is probable that very nearly all of tba
men who competed In this tournament will
wish to enter the next one. Because oC
the fact that two men of different team";
left the city, only ten pairs finished, aa
this leaves room for four more bowlers,
even If all the old ones re-enter. It Is er
pected that the tourney will be begun dura
lng the third week of May, If not sooner.
Bowlers are now anticipating with eon
slderable interest the series of gamea ia
be played between the German and Amerl
can teams. This cd be understood when
the personnel of the1 quintets la noted. II

Here are ten of the best score of bowls
ers In tbe Omaha Bowling league, aa thelg
records for the season just concluded show.
There were nineteen names In the roll of
honor this year, meaning that all of tbeia
averaged 1C6 pins, or better a game for
tbe long eight months of league play.
Every one of these ten are la that Hat ot
nineteen and six of them are in the first
ten.
Another remarkable thing regarding tha
respective merits of these two teama cornea
to light upon Investigation. That la that
the average number of pine per man per
game for each team, computed from tha
average they made In tbe league play juat
ended. Is practically the same, the Germans
being a fraction of one pin higher than
tbe Americans. It Is not probable that
the bowlera were aware of this fact wbea
they formed their post season teama, but
lucky chance brought things about bo that
tha teama are exactly matched on pre
vious record, and thla would seem to prom
lse close contests If form and claaa eeuat
tor anything ia bowling. -
