Milwaukee has been playing pennant ball

How ferocious the winding up games all
over the country are may be gauged by the
fact that during the six days ending with
Friday eighteen shutouts had been regis
tered In the four big leagues. Five of
these were 1 to 0 games, one was 3 to 0,
four were I to 0, two were 4 to 0, one waa
B to 0, one 6 to 0, two were t to 0, and two
were 10 to 0. ' Here are the statistics for
a remarkable series of shutouts:

It tnis oocu t . inaicste earnestness on
part Of the players, It would be bard to And
good evidence in support of the proposition.
Omaha's part in the performance la quite
conspicuous, as the Rourkes gave two and
received two coats of whitewash during
the week. Colorado Springs being on tho
other end of the affair. Kansas City and
St. Joseph had a duplicate aet, splitting
four whitewashes even between them.
Omaha's weakness at the bat waa made
the more apparent during the week. In the
first place It allowed Monk Foreman to get
way with a three-hit shutout,' a thing he
never did In hla Ufa, but now In his dotage
he . scores It against Omaha. In the second
place, at least three games were lost for
lack of a timely hit. ' But If we didn't hit,
we fielded like a lot of wonders. Eddie
Hlckcy negotiated eighteen hard chances in
five games without a skip, and then Frank
Osnlns took third and cared tor eight
chances In two games In perfect form.
Stone made twelve hits during the week, an
average of .480, and caught twenty-one flies
with no errors. These figures do not In
clude the two exhibition games played at

Blowly but sadly the Denver fans are
putting ambition behind them. What had
been apparent to others for weeks has st
last percolated through the adamantine
skulls of the elect who have cheered the
Orliiltes when they won and roasted them
when they loat, and now the deadly -fact
baa been assimilated, that Denver will not
win the championship this year, save by
an unlooked-for combination of circum
stances. One lonely little ray of consoling
light pierces the gloom In which the Colo
rado fans sit enshrouded, and that la that
Omaha nay not win the pennant. Even
thla has the disadvantage of being the
same hope to which they have clung all
season. Not a dope sheet has been turned

In ths meantime, several other cities have
awakened to the fact that of the eight
towns In the league only one can have the
pennant. This apparent troth Is usually
Ignored early In the aeason, and even up to
the last few days, and then there is a lively
scramble for the cover of "I told you so,"
acd' the if festure of the contest becomes
more prominent than the game Itself. Ex
planations are useless at any time, and the
recounting of hard luck stories usually
aggravatea rather than soothes the disap
pointment. It Is alwaya the better team
that wins In the end,' and no matter which
one it is, the true lovers of the game will
give the champions credit for winning first
place on its merits. And this suggests
the thought that prejudice Is too often al
lowed to have sway in discussing base ball
matters. During ths week a notable ex
ample of this waa furnished by the Mil
waukee Sentinel, whose base ball editor has
been bitterly opposed to the Western
league from the beginning. In reference
to the great spurt made by Duffy's team,
thla irresponsible Juggler of words made
the direct charge that umpires of the West
ern league had been Instructed to give the
home team the advantage In all decisions.
While the charge Is absurd on Its face and
unworthy of serious consideration. It serves
admirably to Illustrate the depth to which
some writers will descend in order to be
smirch an opponent. Whatever the pe
culiar fate that directed ths destiny of the
Western league umpires during the season
and it most certainly was erratic to aay the
least It Is ridiculous to assert that Presi
dent Sexton waa In any way responsible for
It. It wasn't the Western league alone
that Buffered front the "home" umpire In
fliction, and It would be Just as fair to
charge Ban Johnson or Pat Powers or Tom
Hlckey with Issuing such orders as to ac
cuse Sexton of It. The fact that the Mil
waukee American association team has
transferred Its concluding home series to
Kansas City and other towns, at a time
when the Weatera league team ta on the
road. Indicates the public - sentiment of
Schlltsvllle toward the Hlckey league and
its supporters.
Rumors of peace negotiations have been
aa thick as mosquitoes In Kansaa City dur
ing the last week, but hone of these seems
to have any foundation. Warring magnates
are not likely to talk peace until after they
have closed the season, negotiated the die
position of claims to players, and balanced
their books. Then they may hare time tor
consultation. Here is a blrd's-eys vlsw of
the present situation: In tho Western
league Omaha haa paid big, Denver has
paid well, Colorado Springs and St. Joseph
have paid fair, Des Moines will about break
even, while Milwaukee, Kansaa City and
Peoria will be made whole out of the league
sinking fund, although the deficit will not
be nearly so large aa had been looked for,
In the American association Louisville has
paid big, -Columbus well, Indianapolis fair,
St. Paul and Minneapolis will probably be
a little better than even, Toledo will come
out about square and Milwaukee and Kan
sas City are certain losers. Thus It will
be seen, each league, stands In about the
same relative position. Each has an In
herently weak town, Peoria In the one and
Toledo In the other; each two towns where
loss Is certain as long as the light Is kept
tip. In Milwaukee the public favors the
Western league; In Kansas City the Ameri
can league has the preference. In the two
leagues there are eight strong towns, which
If they can be gotten together,, will make a
circuit that will be almost Ideal. Denver.
Omaha, Kanaas City, St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Louisville
would make a splendid ' Western - league
circuit. Thla would give Colorado Springs,
St. Joseph, Des Moines, Peoria and other
towns of that class an opportunity to have
ball that they can pay for. It is not
likely, though, that any solution of the
western base ball circuit problem will be
reached for many weeks. i
President Thomss Jefferson Hlckey of the
American association has done as fine a
little bit of sidestepping as one would wish
to see. . Down at Louisville recently Cap
tain Grady of the Kansaa City team dls-,
puted one of Umpire Jack Haskell's de
cisions. Grady called hla men off tho field
and Haskell gave the game to Louisville.
On receipt of the umpire's , report. Presi
dent Hlckey Impulsively notified Manager
Dale Gear that he had fined Captain Grady
(200 and that the captain would stand
suspended until ha bad paid the fine out
of his salary, as the club woulij not be
allowed to pay It for him. ' Manager Gear
asked President Hlckey it be didn't mean
12. and Hlckey answered that 1200 was the
correct figure. Then up rose Captain Grady
and said he would be several things In the
vernacular of the game before he would
pay the fine. One would. have thought the
president of ' the league was an umpire
from the way Captain Orady talked to him.
Manager Dale Gear also told the president
that the Kansas City club would ,be dis
banded if he "undertook to carry out the
sentence on Grady. Up to data Hlckey haa
made no public reply to this outburst from
the Kansas City crowd, but Grady is still
playing and Haskell Is still umpiring, and
the fine has not yet been paid. Maybe It
will come up under the head of unfinished
business when the league meets In Noveru-
i ber. Or, Grady may mall the check to
Hlckey the day O'Brien sends the thousand
to Sexton to pay for hla reinstatement.
It Is to laugh when we read that New
Magnate Herrman "of the Cincinnati Reds
haa told Bam Crawford that he will algn

leased today. But that ia the news that
comes out from the haunta of the Reda.

CREIGHTON'3 FOOT BALL TEAM
Omaha's Owi" Will Be Heavy, Mra
anal Fast on the Gridiron
This Tear.
After a rest of about three months the
Crelgbton university athletlo field Is once
again livened up by the presence of husky,
brown-complexloned athletes. Although
the school year has not yet opened, the
aspirants for the foot ball squad, old and
new, are arriving la the city and getting
down to the preliminary work of the sea
son. For the last week or more Alfred
G. Elllck, the new coach, has had his kick
ers punting the ball over the field, and
now he la devoting much of his attention
to teaching the elementary polnta of the
game to a squad of promising but Inex
perienced huskies.
Coach Elllck predicts that with the ex
cellent old material that will return and
the promising new ones that are ex
pected Crelghton will have the fast
est foot ball eleven Hhat ever belonged to
Omaha. Ha Is already assured one of the
heaviest lines In the west, and with
that foundation and men like Welch,
Captain Walker and Butler behind the line,
a team of heavy caliber should be devel
oped. A few of last season's stars will be miss
ing, but the Influx of new men, who have
bad foot ball training In high schools, pre
paratory achools and other college), as well
aa old Crelghton men who have developed
on the minor teams of the college. Is ex
pected to completely offset the loss.
Mulala, a tackle from St. Mary's college,
Kansas, Is expected to fill the place held by
"Dusty" Roberta, the old Andover man.
Donnelly, an end from Coe college, Kehoe,
O'Keefe, the 'varsity base ball captain, and
Lynch will be four men" to try for the end
positions. Klppes and the McCaffrey
brothers, a pair of active 200-pound giants,
will tussle for one of the halves, and ex
Captain Harry Welch wlshea the. other.
Center Lane, who graduated last spring In
the collegiate department, will resume his
studies at the Medical college and thua will
be eligible for playing this year. Captain
Jcaeph Walker Is already on the field, coach
ing and training himself down for right
tackle, which he played so brilliantly last
year.
Then there is Butler, the black-haired
plunger, at fullback, and that assortment
of material leaves the team already pretty
well framed up, with the school year still

feel rather Jubilant over the prospects for
their team and hope to cut a little swath ot
their own In the college world this year.
Manager James Fltsgerald, who will
handle the team for 1902, has listed the fol
lowing games for the ' Crelghton boys:
Omaha High school, Lincoln Medical col
lege. Tabor college, Doane college,. Amity
college, Bellevue college, Haskell In
dlans. Highland Park college, Des Moines,
and University of South Dakota. If the
Omaha Medical college has a regularly or'
ganlxed team and schedule a game will
probably be played with them.
Both manager and coach are determined
to enjoin severe discipline this fall. Ah
solute training will be Insisted upon, amok
Ing will be punished by Immediate dls
missal from the squad, and although a gen
eral training table cannot be established,
each player will be given a set menu by
the team physician, which he will be ex
pected to follow. Regular, organised, dally
practice will commence on Monday, Sep

expected to have reported for duty.
SpaldtnK's Foot Ball Guide.
On the eve of the day when the foot ball
squads begin outdoor work, Spalding's Offi
cial Foot Ball Quids for 1902 appears for
perusal.. It Is, ga usual, edited by Walter
A. Camp and contains mors Interesting
gridiron Information than ever. . Eighty
half tonea of teams show every Important
club In the country and also many of- the
unimportant ones In the east, such as high
school groups. There are many chapters
dealing with foot ball In its various phases
and the rules, revised and In some respect
changed, appear In the back.
Rttremely Interesting Is the list of All-
America teams, from 1889 down to 1900,
These are composed supposedly of ths best
players In each poaitlon In the country that
year and are picked by Walter Camp each
year. Many of the names now familiar as
coaches appear In the Hats, such as Btagg
and King.
Camp also picks his All-America group
for 1901, naming a first, second and third
team. , Aa usual, he neglects the west ea
tlrely In hla selections, not naming a single
western man till the third eleven, when he
gives Hestoa of Michigan a position as half
back. Meanwhile, men from such minor
schools as Lafayette and Carlisle Indian
school are placed oa the second and third
teams, while the first team la given 'over
exclusively to Harvard, West Folnt, Col
umbia. Tale, Princeton and Cornell. Mr.
Camp does not endear himself to the west
by these tactics. With such teams aa tb,os

prominence to men on inferior teams with

BOWLERS ARE GETTING BUSY
Winter Campaign Plans Take On Shaps
and Promise Vuoa I port.
COMMERCIAL LEAGUE NOW TALKED ABOUT
Oamak Leagae Divides Its Seaaoa aa
Will nay Tw Ckasaptea.
skla Terms Dwrlaa; the
Coanlaa; Winter.
Two bowling leaguea are now the pros
pect for the coming winter in Omaha. . The
atest scheme promulgated by the rollers Is
to Inaugurate a commercial league In addi
tion to the Omaha Bowling league. The
new organisation would, It Is plsnned, fol
low lines similar to those ot the base ball
league which has been carried on among
the commercial houses for some years. The
leading firms will have representation with
team of bowlers, the league membership
to be limited to nine clubs.
It is confidently asserted that far more
ease will be experienced in securing a regular,-
faithful and reliable bowling team
from each, house' than haa been the case
with the base ball teams. It will require
only half as many men and far less equip
ment. In addition to that feature the bowi
ng contests In the league will always be at
Igbt, while base ball games required after
noon attendance, a thing difficult for the
employes ot the wholesale houses. At night
their work will never conflict, ,
Should this addition of a new bowling
league be consummated the result would
doubtless be greatly to tno advantage of
the game In Omaha. It has been a much
considered problem since last winter how
the sport waa to grow much more here. It
having made auch phenomenal strides dur
ing the years. of 1900 -and 1901.' This new
league seems to come as a happy solution.
It would certainly concentrate and extend
the bowling Interests of a. large number of
commercial house employes. . Many who
have In years past been more or less devo
tees of the game, but who 1 have not In
dulged in any special spurt of enthusiasm
over It, will thus be enrolled on the lists
ot ths ardent ones. The lack of organized
competition In the past has been solely re
sponsible for their rather desultory attach
ment to the sport, and the new league will
furnish thla Incentive.
The plan Is of further interest In that It
mean, If carried' nut, that there 'will be
developed here shortly a new line- ot stare
The old guard haa bad things Its own way
noW for 'quite a spell. Each year there Is
a bunch of bowlers who take practically all
the high honors, and their names remain
the same from aeason to aeason. They are
the best In the present league, and they re
main so. But a new league will mean forty
or fifty ntw bowlers rolling oftener than
ever before In their lives. The three games
a week will not In themselves be so much,
but, finding themselves In a league, open to
public scrutiny and criticism,' everyone ot
them wit) wish -to make- a ood -showing
and will practice for it. Practice makes
perfect, -and in puranance of this maxim
u as" lessee shcull r.??t b rp'ny weeks
In -existence before a new generation of
Emerya and Reads and Denmana and Hart
leys should spring up. When that time
comes the teams of the new league should
rank Up well with those of the eld, and
then there will doubtless be some Interest
lng post season gamea between the cham
plons, team and ' Individual, of the two
leagues.
The two-season -proposition seems sow
definitely settled, though formal action is
yet to come. All the bowlers apparently
wish to have two seasons, "and that, of
course, means they will get them. The
first will begin In October and run) prob
ably forty-two games. The - second will
commenoe after an Intermission ot two
weeks and be equally as long.
It Is said that the captains of most all
the teams In the Omaha Bowling league
will be changed thla year. The personnel
of the quintets will remain much the same,
but the former leaders will take places In
the ranks and let some other veteran have
a try at captain. Turn about la fair play,
and doubtless In a few years more some of
the teams will have preserved their In
tegral parts so identically from season to
aeason that every man on them will have
been captain at some time or other with
every other man under him.
Borne bowlers are saying that It will be
a bard matter to secure material for the
nine teams planned. This Is scarcely be
lieved, deaplte the tact that a tew of laat
year's most prominent rollers do not In
tend to re-enter the league rsce this sea
son. ' Wood. .Hartley' haa . announced him
self as one who will si ay out of the league
proposition, and It la sajd that C. Conrad
will 'dd likewise.' The dropping out. of a
tew men ahould not be felt to any extent.
There Were surely "enbugti' good ones bowl
ing toward the end . of. last season who
were not in -any club, and these will be
back. - It ahould not prove difficult to re
place the men who drop out, and then
some bowlers do- not think that any, of
the enthusiasts will do so when It 'comes
down to play. They will not believe that
Wood Hartley or anyone else will stay
away from' the game.
All these things and many more will be
settled at a meeting of the Omaha Bowling
league, which Is soon to occur. September
20 Is the day aet, and at that time all these
questions of two seasons or one, of sched
ule, of the number of .teams and of this
and that, will come up for consideration.
It Is easy to say- now 'what moat ot the
bowlers Wish la regard to these things, but
It cannot be predicted what they will
finally decide to do, though their course in
most of these matters would seem to be
cut and dried at this early date. -
The opening of the alleys around ' the
city has started the game off In earnest
already, for the weather Is so cool that
people relish bowling now, aa they usuallg
do not until October. One fact noted by
the alley keepers Is that there are many
new faces this year. This, they say, Is a
sure indication of a lot of Sew bowling
material, for the old ones corns in slow
but sure, while thoss who have but recently
become fascinated with the game wish to
get to work aa sood aa they are allowed on
the alleya. . The summer resort 'plays no
small part In building up the bowling
patronage for the following winter, tor
mors people learn to roll for the first time
in' such places than in any city alleys.
Wherever you go now for a vacation you
find the bowling alleys a promlnsnt factor
In the entertalSment acd many people will
learn the game for fun when they would
not think of going Into a bowling resort In
a city and showing oft before a lot of cracks
while endeavoring to get on to the tricks
of the apart. - At a summer reeort everyone
is In for everything and It anybody pro
poses, bowling all are agreed on doing It.
So It often happens that some man or
woman who never picked up a ball before
will do so while on bis or her vacation and
will develop a fondness for ths game and
aa aptness In- it that he persistently stays
by aad Cultivates ua lie return tu the

ANOTHER TENNIS TOURNEY
Field Club Men ' to Have a Little
Handicap Affair of Their
Own.
Tennis men of the Omaha Field club are
not yet satisfied. They now announce a
parting tournament for the year, a club
handicap affair in singles only. After two
early season club touriAments, after a
rousing mldseasoa city tournament In
singles and doubles, and finally after the
triumphant Interstate event, stlil these
(lends want more tennis, and thus the latest
scheme.
The new tourney will commence Tuesday,
September 9. Entries will close at 8 o'clock
the evening previous. It will cost 25 cents
to play. The committee In charge ot the
tournament comprises, J. W. Towle, J. B.
Brown and O. S. Erwln. Towle Is chair
man and in charge of entries. They may
be made to him at room 352, Bee building.
Mors enthusiasm Is expected for this affair
than any previous club tournament. The
Interest worked up over the Interstate
tournament Is expected to accomplish this.
Fully twenty players In singles are ex
pected. The handicapping will be a feature that
will attract entries. This will be thorough.
The continuous play in the Interstate event
and before and since has given a good
line on the merits of ths different players
at the club and they will be ranked and
handicapped mora fairly than ever before.
The system ot sixths will be used. This
Is said to be the only real fair ana prac
tical method of handcapplng ia tennis..
Prises, too, will prove a strong lure.
For first prise there will be a high grade
racauet and case. This will be adorn. a
with a silver plate, appropriately engraved
for the winner. The money received
through the entrance tees, probably S, will
ba spent for the second prise.
Th final round In the consolation dou
bles, left over from the Interstate tourna-
ment, waa played off during the week, ana
