That's what the fan are seeing out at Vinton Street park these pleasant spring Says. It la about aa fine an article of the great national game aa ever was exhibited in these parts, and the best of it Is the public appreciates the offering. Omaha people, alnays known for the liberality with which they supported a ball team, bay been more than generous with their patronage ao far. and have been well re paid tor their liberality by the quality of the sport. The condition has had Its effect on the visiting team and each in turn, no matter him loosely It has playd elsewhere, seems Inspired by the presence of tbe crowds to do Its best. Even Pea Molnet and Colorado Springs played snappy ball here the Millionaires even playing a scrappy game, something Omaha people do not like. Of course. It Is the home team In which the most Interest Is felt, and it Is merely stating a fact to say that not since the days of lfcKD have the people exhibited such general Interest. Arguments on the beef trust and such questions have been sidetracked in favor of debates as to whether Ace Stewart ran cover as much ground as did Jack Crooks, enemy could not have wished him a warmer or whether Cy Sutillffe put 'em donn .o reception than he got on his arrival at Danny Shannon with any more accuracy i Denver. While the team won eleven out than does Johnny Gondlng get 'em over to Ace or Joe. And, while we are on this topic, that same Johnny Gondlng made two of the warmest blunders ever seen on the local diamond during the first Pes Moines game, spoiling a shut out for Gra ham. It is so unusual fr.r him to make a costly error ths.t the fans expected the grand stand to fall when be threw the ball nearly to centerfleld fence Instead of to Biewart. who stood ready to nail a run ner and make the third out in the Inning. It resulted In two runs. During that game Carter and Grnlns executed the neatest double steal seen here In many moons. Carter was on third and Genlna was on first and stsrted for second. LohbK-k fired the ball to Qulnn and made a good throw, but Genlns was already safe and Carter had crossed the plate. It was as daring a bit of base running as one cares to see. i Name A B Runt Hits.

Hickey 28 1 15 114 Ml J j Poor old Parke Wilson! His dearest While talking ol individual players, a word may well be devoted to young Mr. Thomas, the relief catcher. He Is playing his first professional engagement, but tbe average onlooker would think htm a vet eran. Hla fielding back of the bat has been plendld so far and his throwing to bases almost equals Gondlng's, which Is about aa much as can be said for a catcher these days. He has played first base and right field, too, and baa done remarkably well, his one error being made at first base and coating nothing so far as the game was concerned. Manager Rourke hae great con fidence in the youth and predicts that he will develop Into one of the best in the business. He certainly is apt and has tbe advantage of having splendid tutors in biewart and Gondlng. In the passing of Tom Fleming the Omaha outfield is weakened to -a certain extent, for Fleming was a veteran and a aplendld fielder. His weaknesa waa at the bat, where he had not shown any strength at all. With Carter's great Improvement In batting and the popularity of Genins, It seemed almost certain that Fleming would b benched in favor of Stone, who la needed on the team because of his hitting ability. While this decision bad not been reached, Fleming anticipated it, and had practically made arrangements to Jump to Sacramento. Bums' offer to take him on I of the twenty games played on its trip, the j loss of that last one at ties Moines set the I Colorado fans wild, and they went after I the chief cf the Grlttliee like a bull at a red rag. Banishment is the mildest form I cf punishment suggested for him by the i rnnkl ahn ira etllnff th rnlumna nt thp papers with their demands for his re tireroent. Wilson hasn't yet recovered the use of bis leg, Davis still suffers from the shoulder which kept him out of the game in Omaha, and McConnell is doing the back stop work with a badly split band, but these facta do not ameliorate the offense of the team in tbe least. It has lost gsmes. and that is a capital offense in tho estimation of the Denver crank. Five hun dred people welcomed the team borne In Its first game with Milwaukee, just to show how the public there dlsspproves of a team that doesn't win every game. Secretary Lawrence of the Denver team tells the newspapers out there that Omaha is easy. Well, maybe, but Denver certainly didn't find It ao. Thomaa Jefferson Hickey unllmbered himself during the week for the first time since the sesson opened. The burden of his talk was thst the Western league is losing money. He was up at Milwaukee and pointed to the attendance there to support his assertion. If the Milwaukee Western league tekm is losing money, whst. pray, is the Milwsukee Hickey team doing? With no competition, the American associ ation 'games have been drawing 20 to 400 people. That surely doesn't look like much of a winner. And if. as Mr. Hickey says. Itwlll cost Mr. Van Brunt 140,000 to maintain a team in Milwaukee this sea son, how much less will it cost Messrs. Quin and Havener? t'nless the Duffy outfit is uncommonly expensive it can hardly cost more than J20.000 for the sea son, and while not much of this wiil be taken in at borne, the receipts of the team abroad will go a Jong way toward reduc ing the deficit. It is quite likely that Mr. Van Brunt will lose 110.000 on his Mil waukee venture, but be stands to make that much on his St. Joe team, ao he will get an even break there. Just mhen Quin and Havener will get back the golden ducats they are putting out for the fun of the Colorado Springs team spared him the J a ball team cavort in front of a unpleasantness of being blacklisted, and be left Omaha with the best wishes of his team mates, his manager and a host of friends, who would have liked to see him finish tbe season here, but who hope he will do ell in his new company. Fleming is a splendid fielder snd will be found quite acquisition for tbe Millionaires. As a team the work of tbe Omahas Is still S20.000 grand stand full of empty seats is s question even Mr. Hickey will refrain from answering. What ia true of Mil waukee Is true of Kansas City, and every aspect of the case at present indicates that tbe Western still has the better of the struggle. Not a single Hickey town, save Columbus, haa turned out paying attend ance, and not a team is earning expenses.

He hsd a general assortment of recommenda tions, adapted to meet tbe financial condi tion of the aspirant. His latest fulmlna tlon Is about as effective aa were his hand-me-down recommrnda. Teople still doubt that tbe element of luck exists In a ball game. A rase in point from ancient history: One afternoon dur ing the time of Shannon's Lambs, the last half of the ninth inning found the score 7 to 5 in favor of Omaha, with Minneapolis at the bat. two men out and two men on bases. Moxie Hengle lifted an easy fly over Into left field, which Larry Twltchell got under and tbe game was no It wssn't won for Omaha, Dot by a jugful. Just inside the foul line stood a post about ten feet high, to whtrh was tied one end of tbe rope uaed to keep back tbe crowd on overflow days. Twltchell stood beside this poet and watched the ball slight squarely on top. whence it bounded over the club house back of the bleachers, and Hengle got a home run on what should have been a rtnch out. And then, there's thst fa mous Incident of Norman Leslie Baker's pointer pup and the bunt hit which Gussie Alberts didn't field. Tou bet there's luck In a ball game. is that Hermann fights like Johnny Wbit taker. keeping always cut of reach snd also on the defensive, and the other la that he is a better man that Emlth all around, in which event Hatch might last it out under heavy punishment. x ANOTHER GOOD FIGHT COMING Omaha Colored Wander to Meet a wlft gla-Roaaa Boy from Chlrago. And now Haich Smith. Omaha's own lit tle colored featherweight, is to fight the rapid firing "Kid" Hermann of Chicago. The contest is scheduled to occur in South Omaha. nd tbe date is June IX. Blum's ball, tbe familiar old Red Light theater rejuvenated, will be the scene of tbe con flict, and the usual interesting string of preliminaries is promised. Just to show that he means business Her mann will coma to Omaha this week and finish his training here. Just what kind of a fighter he is may be gathered from the fact that he fought the fierce "Kid" Abel, who beat Clarence Richie In two rounds and Tom Sullivan easily, a six round drsw after be had broken his arm In the first round. On another occasion Abell was matched to meet vicious Joe Bernstein, the man who is always looking tot a chance to get hurt. At tbe last minute a spama of nausea due to nervous neea prostrated Abel and prevented him meeting the call of time. Hermann was In bis corner for that fight, and was asked to go on against Bernstein ao that tbe crowd would not be disappointed. The "Kid" was In good training, and, although he had a terrorizing proposition to go against, he never faltered, and entered the ring as soon as he oould get tnto fighting togs. Bernstein was ten pounds tbe heavier. It was a fierce fight, and th referee called it a draw, but the specta tors yelled "Hermann," and popular senti ment had clearly given him the fight even though the official Judgment did not. That illustrates the kind of nerve thst Is pos sessed by tbe man who is coming to meet Haich Smith. One thing mors may be added about Hermann. Sam Summerfield, the well known president and matchmaker of tbe Dearborn Athletic club in Chicago, wrote Johnnie Richie last Thursday, In referring to Hermann: "He is one of the best 122-pounders this town ever produced, strong, clean' and a glutton for punishment." In the light of Smith's well known hankering after a basting, smashing fight, that last sentence of Eummerfield's opinion alone promises tbe warmest kind of a time at South Omaha next Friday night a week. Any man who is a glutton for punishment will have just the chance of his life when he goes up against Haich, and unles he has an impregnable guard he is likely to have both his gluttony and his rspaclty amply satisfied. Smith never runs away from anything, and It will be Joy indeed to see him up against a man of his own nature. The men are to weigh 122 pounds at t o'clock on the afternoon of the mill. This" fight, following on the heels of tbe Richle-Bartley affair, would aeem to Indi cate that Gallup and Richie were indulging in no dope wreaths when they said that they Intended to bring off a string of cork ing bouts at South Omaba this summer. Tboss who did not expect much from the first one of tbe list were agreeably disap pointed, and on tbe face of It tbe coming fight promises far better than that one, for Hermann seems to come far more t highly recommended than was Mike. If he fights as sturdily, however, people will be well pleased with him. It was interesting to note how Hartley won the hearts of tbe crowd by his determinstlon, his vigor and his stubborn persistence. It had been ex pected by many that mow easy one had been Imported to givs Richie a cinch vic tory for hla return to tbe ring after ao long an absence, but as It turned out Mike was there to win if he could, and be nearly could. The biggest crowd that has attended a South Omaha mill In years was on hand tor that fight, and ao tbs good opinion ot the character of tbe goes to be offered at Blum' hall by Gallup and Richie was sunk into a lot of men's mlnds and therefore widely scattered. A continuation of such squars tactics w 111 certainly bring to tbe subsequent games ths hearty support they deserve for being offered up along the lines desired. In one way Smith will have a great ad vantage over Hermann from ths start. Thst will be that the latter ia strictly a six-round man and Smith can go the twenty-round distance acheduled much better on that account. In Chicago six rounds is the limit and all the Windy City boys go like fury for that abort distance. When Bart ley cams hers to meet Richie the sams dif ference obtained. He had never In his life gone more than eight rounds and was nat urally tralnsd for such a fight and ac customed to it. Ths long Journey told la ths end, ss be was glad to admit, and had ths mill been of ths short variety he would In all probability have won and might even have fairly been given ths decision had It been cut off at the end of the sixth, any- way, even though he tried to save himself somewhat. So It la mors than probabls that Hsr mann will corns out and gs after Smith awfully hard at first. Six-round men are apt to be fierce rushers, anyway, as (heir only chance to win Is either to land or do ths leading, at best. It will bs Interesting to note Smith's tactics under such an at tack. Will he depend upon cautioua de tense for a time, or will he solar at once Into ths heat of tbs affair and try to give Hermann more than bs himself can dole out? If Bmith derides to have it over with In short order one maa or ths ether will undoubtedly b out before tea rounds are gone, but it all depends upoa the Omahaa, as tbs visitor is not likely ts hold back even aa much as Judgment wauld advise Only twa contingencies, both unlikely, can allow that CfciU U (a icai routtds. One NEW GAME COMES TO OMAHA Shaaleboera Makes Hit iati, the Hahltaes at tbe BavrUaa Alleys. Omaha Is up against a new gams. Shu foe board has Juen. found tbe Gats City, and the prospect now is thst this alluring little sport will replace bowling mora or less completely for ths wsrm weather season. At the Gste City alleys one sbuffiebosrd table haa Just been put in, and it has al ready become so popular that it seems necessary to install another at once. All day long former bowlers crowd around It, and as no more than four ran play at a time, the rest ran merely watch and wait for a chance to get In. Sbutfieboerd Is s baby game of curling. In fact. It resembles the famous old Scotch game in so many particulars that it Is a good miniature of the larger outdoor sport. In each weight are slid, not thrown, down s definite narrow course toward a goal. Tbe point is to get as near this goal as possible, and to knock your opponent's weight away, if you can. Curlers -use a "stsne" weighing many pounds. Shuffleboarders slide a snnall Iron weight about a pound heavy. Curlers play outdoors and skim their "stanes" down smooth ire scores of yards. The shuffleboard devotee Stan do at a table twenty-seven feet long and slides his weight down a smooth, hardwood ssnded surface sixteen inchea wide and twenty-six feet long. Around this playing board is a gutter a few inches wide, to catch the weights thst are slid off or are knocked off, and which then count for nothing. Curlens throw with tbelr full arm swing, and ths weight ot the body ia behind it. In shuffleboard you uss tbe forearm and fingers, and the upper arm just a little. The advantages of shuffleboard Just now are that It does not make you too warm, is not a game of any great exertion, and la withal a matter of considerable skill and rraft. A few days' trial has shown thst It tskes well, sad It mag very well be tbe cause of bowling alleys being kept open which would otherwise have been closed during the summer. At the Gate City alleys a table has been set along the fifth alley, and the use of that for bowling abandoned. The shuffleboard has already grown so popular that tbe use of that par ticular alley can be well discontinued In Its fsvor. To see a long, narrow table on every alley would look funny to a bowler, but It may come to that. The fascinations of the game are many. It takes about as long to play It as It does for two people to bowl ten frames. It is scientific, and yet has enough of tbe ele ment of luck attached to it to make it interesting. Men, women or children can play It, as no strength is required. Tour nament or contest gsmes may be easily arranged. Tou don't have to polish or oil your table, and. best of all, there Is no noise. Tbe weights used are flat discs of iron. Tbe game Is easly learned. (Lontoaious Blood jr oisOSl (tl AIKT FEATIRES OF LIFE. The work of completing the dome on the federal building at Chicago Is delsyed by tbe fsct that there are only fourteen "hu man flies" in the United States who can do "steeple Jack" work at such great lielght, and they are all employed.

N. T., has made a special study of the tramp question for years. In company with his wife and J. H. Whittaker and wife of Maiden, Mass.. he will take his vacation In gypsy fashion this season. They will travel through tbe country, tbe men selling and trading horses, while the women tell fortunes and sell lace and other gypsy wart. In an interview Mr. Eggleston, who contemplates starting on the trip about July 1, when hi term as postmaster will hsve expired, said he had decided that the easiest lite to lead was that of tramps and gypsies. Tbe captain of one of the ships csught In the neighborhood of the Martinique erup tion and covered with volcanic ashes re ported that his compass "danced a Jig and boxed tbe entire card without coming to atop." A metallurgist who secured some of tbe dust from an Incoming vessel and subjected it to analyais found that It was composed of 5 per cent of msgnetlle, the most magnetic of all minerals, and 71 per cent of other slightly magnetic products. Under the circumstances he is inclined to forgive ths needle in question tor Its terpslchorssn enthusiasm. A story is told of a Ceylon planter who wanted to go away for a day's shooting. Approaching his men, hs said: "Although I myself will be absent, yet I shall leave one of my eyes to see that you do your work." And, to the surprise of tbe na tives, he took out his glass eye. placed It on tbe stump of a tree, and left. For some time tbe natives worked like elepbsnts, but at last oas of them, seising his tin In which he carried his food, approached the tree and placed It over the eye. As soon as they saw that they were not being watched they all lay down and slept peacefully until sunset. Country people are usually credited with being endowed with robust appetites, as tbsrs Is nothing liks pure air and healthy exercise to foster a reiisn eves lor simple fare.

Experience says not, and thousands whose health has been ruined by the use of these poisonous minerals, stand read' to testify thatj while Mercury and Potash may mask the disease drivejt from the outside for a time, it comes back with renewed virulence as soon as these drues are left off, and thus the fight between Contagious Blood Poison and Mercury and Potash is protracted for months and even years, resulting in a broken down constitution, spongy and tender gums, excessive salivation, decayed teeth, pains in the stomach, nausea, ruined digestion, nervous dj-s-pepsia, dizziness, and other distressing symptoms which always follow the use of these poisons. They mask the hideous form of this serpent-like disease, but the deadly virus still hides m the system. There is an antidote for this awful poison ; a. reliable, certain and permanent cure for Contagious Blood Poison and that remedy is S. S. S. the greatest of all blood purifiers, and an experience of fifty years has proven it to be a true specific for this vilest of all human diseases, which not onl)T threatens the life of the one contracting it, but is transmitted to posterity with more cer tainty than Cancer or Consumption. Wh)' should ou continue the Mercury and Potash treatment, when by so doing you are only complicating the disease hy burdening the blood with another poison, which in time will produce a long train of evil consequences. S. S. S. being purely vegetable, leaves no bad after-effects, but invigorates the whole system while cleansing the blood of the virus. S. S. S. is the only known antidote for Con tagious Blood Poison the only medicine that is able to unmask this venomous reptile and drive it out of the blood. It has rescued thousands from the clutches of this horrible malady, after Mercury, Potash, Hot Springs and everything else had failed to cure, and it will do as much for you. The idea that Contagious Blood Poison is incurable, or must run its course in spite of all human efforts to stop it, is the veriest nonsense. S. S. S. does cure it radically and permanently, removing all traces of the original disease from the blood and sstem, as well as the evil effects of the Mercury and Potash. If you are a victim of Contagious Blood Poison, no matter what may be 3"our present condition, whether the disease has just started or has reached a more dangerous stage, begin S. S.

Tbe Des Moines buyers didn't want the goods sold st retail here and the outsiders couldn't afford to put tbem on sale here. They- were not here for that purpose. They came to gather In tbe stock at bank rupt figures and cart It off to their own big stores in tbe lsrger cities. Tbe fixtures they cared nothing about. In the bidding, which bgan a little later on tbe removal proposition, scarcely more than 10 cents on the dollar was allowed on the valuation of the fixtures. The Des Moines buyers bad another big advantage In tbe bidding, tbe cost of moving tbe stock to their own scores in tha city counting as nothing in comparison with the freight bills, the re arrangement of the gooda In tbe borne stores and other expense Items which the out siders had to figure in. Almost from the start it was Beeley against the field, so far as tbe Des Moines bidders were concerned. Walter P. Walsh, representing Sweetser, Pembrook & Co. of New York, did the bidding for Mr. Beeley. He wes supposed to be speaking for his New York firm, but his frequent consulta tions with Mr. Beeley and bis obedience to Mr. Eeeley's suggestions In tbe bidding gave the other Des Moines buyers tbe tip which they were not slow to take ad vantage of. Blotchy Bros, of Des Moines stsrted the ball. Harry Blotchy, repre aenting the firm, offered 115,000 for the VARICOCELE A safe, painless, permanent com guaranteed. Twenty-five years axperienos.
