What a dear lot of Grizzlies they are to be aura. Omtha people had been led to believe that the-v a ere like tbe the bean f biblical ttory, that eat children and the like, but tbe reports that preceded them were really a-andaoasly utitrop. We found tbem at gentle axd tractable aa a lot of well trained ebeep dept. Twice they were let out of tbelr rages and they romped and played around tbe fieid at Vinton park like ao many household peta. and never snarled or growled or offered to eat any one. And tby were not quite able to turn tbe trick tbelr Denver frieDd hoped they could. In fart, tbey were in big luck to get a game here. On tbe whole, they are a nice a lot of players as hare ever netted Omaha and put tip a high grade article of tbe great national game. But tbey will hay to go touch faster than tbey did here If tbey Intend to win tbe pennant. A rite Latham has made a record in Omaha. He U tbe first umpire who erer had to call for police protection during the progress of a game here. Bill Everltt also made a record. He is tbe first player ever escorted from tbe Omaha grounds by tbe police. And President Sexton and Magnate Burns saw the performance. Omaha has always been proud of the orderly conduct at tbe ball games here, and in this ease tbe regret Is only slightly lessened by the reflection that tbe trouble waa due to a visiting plsyer who has maSe a record In this line. During the week a slight betterment In both fielding and bsttlng averages resulted Batting for tbe team was pulled up from 7M to .2bt, and fielding from .8f7 to .Sf.S. This Improvement shows stesdy. consistent work by the team. Dolan had a bad week of It. getting three errors tn tbe Tuesday gsme, owing entirely to plsylng In tbe nxud. Gondlng made a big Jump up In his fielding and batting both, -and Carter furnished the team with a JfKi hitter on the regular list, while Genlna is almost on that mark. Pop Eyler'a fun with tbe boys ;held down all their batting averages. Stewart's great work at second basa hss been the real feature of the week's play ing. He Is really putting up a wonderful game In tbe field, as well as directing his mea with skill that is little short of marvelous. At present there is so sign of the predicted slump in Omaha's work.

Grarted. let us tee how much luck baa bad to do ith the other side of the sory. Peoria srored the first win against Omaha by a score of I to 1. Peoria' two runs were scored tfcis wsy: One mil get a bsse on bs:is. snd tbe next hit a slow ree to F'.ewart. In trying to get both men Are trade a bsd throw to second and both were safe. Tbe nett two were out In order, and then a double drove home tbe only runs Peoria got In tbe same. If Stewart had thrown to Erst the double would never have happened, and tbe game would hsve been Omihs's, 1 to . Tbe aezt game lost was at Milwsukee. In tbe Binth inning, with tbe score t.ed. Graham hit for a home run. The ball, when fielded in. hit tbe clothing of Cmplre Latham. Graham ws already safe, but under the rules he bed to go back to third, where be dif-d. The next game wss lost to Kansas City, due to Charlie Nichols' great pitrbing. In the last game tt Kansas City, with two men out and two on bases. Bobby Carter mad a hard run for a fiy near tbe right field foul line. While running at lull speed be missed the rstch era , ball s-ruck his left knee just a he shot his leg forward, and what oinety-ntne times out of a hundred would have been a sure out went for a home run and three runt rode In os It. lust enough to win tbe tint. At St. Joseph a game was forfeits because Omaha could not stand for tbe work ot tbe Mtssourlsns. In tbe last game with Denver Joe Dolan made a threw to first tbtt wss lmt a trifle wide, and it resulted in the two runs thst gave Denver the game. Now, there are four of the sit defeats due to hard luck, three of them to tingle errors, and the other to tbe umpire's not getting out of the wsy of tbe ball. Tbe Ft. Joseph forfeit game spesks for Itself. Of the six defeets charged to Omaha, only one fc due to the game being lost on Its merits, yet tbey still talk about "Omaha'a lurk." Some time before the season Is ever they will admit that it is Omaha's ball pitying that has won so many. That triple pity by Omsba at St- J-:s?pb last Sundsy was one of thoee rare things in base ball men like to remember and tell about all their live. It waa really a marvelous bit of Adding on part of the Omahas. In tbe fourth Inning St. Joseph seemed about to break the ice. Robe, the first man up. tit o clean single over sec ond. Hart man came next with a neat grounder to right, which took a queer bound as Carter wss reaching for it, snd was thus made good for two bases. With runners on third and second it seemed a cinch that tbe Baints would acore. Two bits and do one out. and 8.500 fans yelling like mad. wben Brasbesr came to bat. He waited until Graham put one over and caught it square. Awty it went to right field, and tbe air seemed full of St. Joe bsse runners, all tearing for borne. How the crowd did cheer and call encourage ment to the runners. Omaha was forgot ten in the frenty of joy at the prospects of at least two runs. And then! Are Stewart was running, too. a fsct thst band of crazy rooters bsd overlooked, and by one of those marvelous exertions now and then seen on the ball field, he intercepted that hit of Brasbear'a. "Smack!" That was tbe ball landing in Calhoun a big mitt, and the next thing that met the gaze of that aalonlsheU multitude ' wa a fclue unlformed figure tearing across the diamond. It was Cal, and he had one eye on Robe and tb other on Hart man. Both had stopped in mid career, and neither seemed to know what to do. In grand stand and bleachers the tumult had ceased, and tbe St. Joe rooters were watching open moutbed in tbeir amazement tbe swift movement of certain obliteration overtak ing tbelr fond hopes of runs. Gondlng had started down the third base line to meet Robe, wbo fled from htm. Cal tossed th ball to Gondlng. wbo overtook anl tagged Robe, and then threw to Hlckey. w bo caught Hartman Just at be began his J slide, and one of tbe neatest, quickest triple play on record had ended. There was no more cheering from tbe grand 1 stand. In tbe sixth inning Frank Genlnt 1 added a little bit to tbe base ball education of tbe Missourians by starting a play whicb would easily have beea another triple, had it beea seeded. With one out. and mea oa first and second, the Su Joe batter j arched a little, easy one over to Genina, who was playiug close in. It was a cinch that Genlna would catch th fly, ao both runners held their bases. Genlns fooled 'em. He didn't catch the fiy. Inured he merely trapped it, and tbea tossed the ball to Ac Stewart, who touched tbe man at second and tbea th bag. and two more men were ot. The people didn't know what had happened tint 11 tbe Omaha play ers had Dearly reached the bench, and eves at that Stewart had to draw a diagram of tbe play for Vrcplrt Co. One of the really nafortanat occurrences of tbe week waa the accident which hap pened to George Van Haltrra at Pittsburg oa Thursday, a her thia well knows player sustained a brokea anal sliding to sec ond. His Injury ts severe enough to keep him out of the game for the rest of the oeaaoa and maybe for all tlm. Van Hal tren's absence will ke a distinct loss, aot only to th Now Tork team, but to the game at large. If memory la right. It was eigbteea year ag thia season a pitcher came from California to Jola th Chicago National league team, than at the height of its tarn. Tw years pitching for Chi cago and oa for Near Tork was followed by his appearance la left field tor the Giant, and slkco tbea from very few cham pionship games la which the New Tork team haa participated baa tho nam of Vaa Haltrea beea misting. He ha beea a reliable and consistent player, both at the hat and la th field. He did aot quit pitching because he had to, hat because he anted to stay la th game. During all these year the name of Taa Haltrea has never beea mixed with any acaadal or mis doing. Oa th contrary, h ha beea la duatrlous aad thrifty, aad has afforded aa excellent example for the cmulatioa of younger player. A New Tork eor with out th aam of Vaa Haltrea will look queer to th old-time ra. aad maay good wtahes will follow him lata his enforced retirement. g Just think of Prod Teaiy and Pred Clark being hung up merely for taking a few punches at each other during the progress of a game. It really looks as though the National league msgntes really mtaa to zck tbelr players behat. Aad Ban John aa cotlne to hand out Utile doses ot rutpeoaloa. Clark Griffith being tb latest to secure a reat for abusing aa umpire. Verily, the game la advancing wbe it tocome aeoeaseary for a manager to re spect the drUioz,s of aa ampiro. After Bk Johntoa get 'Muirsy- and "Grlf tamed a that they will ataad without being hitched, he might try hio hand oa the bleachetitea at St. Jo. Mo. They will give him a fair tost for hi ability la the lia of svbduicg tb savage.

With the expense of the league amounting to at lestt ll.kw per dsy, it is easy to see tbe outcorr unless more people can be enticed to tbe grounds. Nor is tbe hope for the future very tncoursging. Minneapolis ha got far enough dowa ia the standing table to wsr rant the people up there la quittirg. as tbey always do; at Toledo tbe labor unions hsve a boycott on tbe team, which ts knocking bsr; at Indiarapolis the public is weary of Walking, and Wstkias is weary of tbe public' lndiCerence to his team snd is willing to go to Marion or any old place to get away. Omsbs bus been aked to take the place of Indianspolia and has refused, snd there is tslk of taking tbe team ts Chicago to finish tbe season rn der Nord Sett olretty. And sr3i the Hlckeyites ssy they art doing well. How well they are doing Is shown by a report now current to tbe effect that tbe reason the Louisville team did not reach Kansas City ia time for last Sunday's game is because tbe tick ets wen not forthcoming till the money taken in at the Kite on Sunday had been deposited at tbe railroad office. Here was at bold a bit of bunco work at ever was perpetrated. Pale Gear must have known Sunday morning that lyouitvllle would not reach Kansas City in time for the gsme. but he opened his gstes and collected admission fees from over J.OWl petrons. After holding them until it was too late to go to tbe Western lea rue gsme. then In progress. Getr dismissed fbe crowd and gte out rain checks. Such disreputable work Is esslly understood ty tbe people, snd no club will ever profit by It. CREIGHTON HAS HARD LUCK Rata Sxtlle Pretty Baee Ball Pre trial for "Oraba'f Ovva 'Varsity Teaaa. The Creigtron base bsll management has had a csre of hard luck during tbe pact ten dtyt. Somehow or other it htt an tagonized the weatber man, and be, in turn, has let loose tbe rain str!ngs whenever a geme was billed for Creighton field. First there was tbe Nebraska Wesleyan univer sity game; then the Corner university game, tnd finally the Highland Park college gsme and all were spoiled or postponed by Jupiter Pluvluo Tbe Orrt two would undoubtedly hsve proven essy victories for Creighton, but the Highlsnd Park contest a as not so certain. At Ies Moines Creighton won by the close acore of 15 to It. and tbe Highlands Journeyed to Omaha with blood in tbeir eyes. At tbe end of the Highland half of tbe fourth inning, when the game was called, tbe score stood 3 to 1 in fsvor of the visiter. But this was no criterion on which one could say that the "Scotties" bad the game. All of their runs were made in the first Inning on errors of Creighton. After thst tbe locals braced up and shut out eight prohibitionists in one. two, three order. And the Creighton men began to find Ellis, tbe Highlsnd pitcher. Each in ning did the third out come when tbe bases were filled with C. X'. sluggers. If tbe Creighton people continue to im prove tbeir field at the rate tbey have been doing thi spring tbey will boast before long tbe handiest and mom complete col legiate field in the west. Tbe additional bleachers that have Just been erected seat almost COO people, making a total seating rapacity of about 1,200. The Creightoos have a perfect field, an excellent eight-foot tight board fence around it, a regulation backstop and the best clay gridiron ia the west. All that is now needed is a grand stand, a boon few colleges enjoy, but evea thst it expected before long. All these Im provements hsve taxed the athletic associa tion to Its limits, and the member are making strenuous endeavor to keep the association on a good standing. Now that the season i drawing to a close and exams are coming on. tbe members of tbe team are a little lax In practice. This Is unwise, and Coach Lawler will sbow his wisdom in making tbe boys put in tbeir hardest licks up to the very lsst. Two strong game are yet to be played. Drake university on Decoration day. the final borne game of tbe season, and a return game at Lincoln with Nebraakw on the tut. It would be unfortunate, indeed, if Creighton were to weaken now. after the phenomenal showing it has made this sea son. TRACK RECORDS OF NEBRASKA Coach Booth Compile a Table Ik.w- latt Perforsoaoee at lh stand ard Ootdoor Evrstt, "Ballingtrn" Booth, roach and athletic Instructor at tbe University ef Nebraska, haa Just compiled a complete table of the eld and track event records at that In stitution. This is corrected to date, tbus Including tbe season Just ending, and com prises tbe official best records made la competition at thirteen different evenis during tbe history of athletics at the State university. This is tbe first time sach statistics have been published since 16. Tbe table gives the year la which tbe deed was dose. It reads: Htf-yard-dash: R. D. Andrewen. sec ond. JM !- yard -dash: M. B.

Th most remarkable thing abetrt this list la that bob of the records date bark ef H?S. and that all save four of tbem have beea made sine January 1, 1100. This tact shoss plainly that tbe last few years have aeea a great advance ia athletic of this sort at tb school, aad that although th average age of the participant ia bow far less thsa what it waa fiv years ago. the boys bar n trouble smashing the records that mea set tar taem during th last decad of the century Juat ended. Many ot th name that appear la the tab) ar familiar from vromineoo la other line of sport. Ttke M. B. Pillibury, for laatanc. who hat tbe 130-yard dash to hit credit. He It the huge 'varsity fullback, tbe ttA-pouader who ha beea th largest sit on tb Nebraska team for two years and wh mad th first of Nesra&ka acore against Minnesota la IK, when Wisconsin could only ocor t against the Gophers, while th Corchuskera put op 12. It was by on of those same record 230-yard runt that PUlsbury mado that score, dathlk t trough a puzzled line after a tak kick play. He did not aeed t run tbe wbol IIS yards, bnt hs made seventy and could htv gon th real. Again, there is Fred Brew, with three to' ag records to his credit. H was cop ula ot that aam foot ball team ot 1M9. playing tackle, rnd la 1SX1 he was agala la tb I la aa a guard. But Fred waa a track athlete long before b btgaa playing foot ball la UKa. at being, ra tact, hi s aosure of woadcrful muscle ia a track meet of IRi'T that brought b:m to tbe notice tf tbe roaches. R. H. Gun. wbo has tbe running SDd Jumping records, i the "Bobby" Gaines wbo has been one of the star tviriers on the 'vsrsity base ball team for to yenrt tad wbo won s tosny of tbe host ot vic tories captured by the tetm this yesr. He Is regarded as the best sll-around athlete la competition in tbe university. Tfce mile run record bat become a family aStir with tbe Stayers Ia 3 KM Wiliia "Saayer established it as four minutes snd fifty-two seconds and there It stood till hi 0n brother. Leroy P. Sawyer, grew up and tntered tbe university, wben be lmmed.aiflv went after hit own brotber't mirk. It took h'm two or three year to get it. for. while he would always run aaay around that mtrk ia practice wbea be tried, something aouid interfere with smashing it in com petition. Either track craft would demand a alow gait or tbe pace would be set llow tbe desired speed, so. while Leroy kept on winning races, he never killed tbe recorJ Willi bad set till he was a senior snd about to leave school. That was in tbe spring of 1M. and then tbe younger brother fnilly got in a contest where hi opponent was willing and In fact frantic to mtke tpeed. Sawyer tasged him for four of the five lap and knew from the intensity of his own effort thtt the record as to be Lit at last. Then be went around tbe pace maker and sprinted down the last half lap for tbe deaired seconds clip-off. Ira Kellotrg. who holds tbe pole vtult record, is an interesting rharacter because be is the only poet -athlete sho ever at tended tbe university. Ira s time is equally divided between the fond muse and the cinder path and be bat attained consider able publicity in both line. This year he graduates and he is the clsws poet for '('!. Tbe otber day at Charter day exercises be recited his lstest class effusion. LOCAL HORSE NEWS OF WEEK (! s from Mable aod Trark of In terest to Owner. Trainers aad Driver. John Raynor of Partont.

The air becomes infected with the gases and microles arising from the marshes and low lands, damp ctllars, sewer pipes, badly ventilated houses and decaying vegetable matter, and we unconsciously inhale them :nto the lungs when they are taken up by the blood and circulated throughout the system. Malaria gives no warning of its coming; no immediate ejects are perceptible, and no violent symptoms appear until the unfortunate sufferer is completely at the mercy of this hidden foe.- This invisible enemy may be following us night and day, but often the first intimation we have cf its presence is a chilly, creepy sensation running over the body, sometimes followed by a flight fever, and an always tired, drowsy and depressed feeling. The blood soon becomes deeply poisoned, thinned and weakened by the teeming millions of microbes and germs, and an irregular, slow circulation is the result This con dition of the blood gives rise to innumerable and serious troubles. Torpid liver, enlargement of the spleen, loss of appetite and feeble or vcllow skin, pons, carbuncles, abscesses, indolent ulcers, and pustular and scabby skia eiuptions of various kinds, and frequently the health becomes so impaired, and such a lifeless condition ensues that the person loses interest in his surroundings and faith in all human remedies. Malaria, if allowed to remain in the system, lays the founda tion for other diseases that very often prove fatal or permanently wreck the health. Malaria can only be worked out of the system through the blood. Some remedy that can destroy the germs and microbes and neutralize the bad effects of the poison, offers the only hope of a cure, and the only medicine that can accomplish this is S. S. S., which not only purges the blood of all morbid, unhealthy matter, but keeps it pure and healthy. It searches out and destroys every trace of Malarial poison, neutralizes the powerful gases that cause Malaria with all its "terrible consequences, and keeps the blood in such a vigorous condition that poisonous matters of no kind are allowed to accumulate, but are mg and tonic properties tna.. keep tne oiood clear ot au morbid, -unhealthy matter and disease germs, and at the same time acts as an invigorating tonic. Nothing is comparable to S. S. S. as a Spring Medicine, as it reinforces and builds up the system when debilitated or overcome b- the depressing effects of the changing seasons, and being absolutely free of all minerals, is perfectly adapted to the most delicate constitution.
