Not a few of the faithful 1 hoped for better showing, but they admitted that It waa hoping against ps, the outcome of the series was' t In' any sense a surprise. Denver hss " An the Omaha stumbling block all the r. though Why it. should be so Is not parent. When a thoroughly reliable tcher like frank Owen gets to giving out ibngh bases 60 balls to allow the Orls nea. to win, . game", without making any 'til, Omaha people are ready to admit that r-oraethlng la wrong eorpewhere, and. let it ,..e at that. .It any. one doubts' tbat ,Omnha hpm made -Denver play ball at home'.: he should look erfc the. season's record; No lira close.' or fleroe exhibitions have b-en reea' at Broadway park aa those In which Omaha was defeated. From Denver Omaha prows to Colorado Spring for a aeries of four games. Hero there la more reason to look for a victory. On the merits of the rmtne, Colorado Springs ought to win from Omaha about .twloe. In a life time. Mr. Thomas Burrie, "ownee of tho Millionaires.' declines,, to .stand -or any umpire that will allow bis team ta be beaten, though, and this feature Is far from reassuring. To be sure, Des Moines managed to sneak a game when Burns wasn't looking, but Its no clnoh that he will taks his eye oft 'the In dlcator while Omaha Is In town, Kansas City and Milwaukee still have to make that mountain trip, and they may rest assured of the sane welcome Omaha received. This will make some , difference, you know, When Omaha 'gets away from .the moun tains.' It Will bo home for A finish. Kan sas City comes en Wednesday for three games, and Bt, Joseph starts it farewell performance on Saturday. . Omaha has some postponed.-.' games with the McKibben Winch, and ought to , hare at least one doable header during the Saints' stay In Omaha. ' After ' the Saints, beginning on Wednesday of next week, we get Peoria for ibfee Icheduled and a couple ot ' post poned gamea, and maybe tbat will help ome. Milwaukee comes two weeks from tvday for three games and the wlndup. IC Omaha: should get an even break at Colorado Springs; win two out of three from Kan sas City, three out of four from St. Jo seph, four out of five . from Peoria, and two out of three from Milwaukee, It will flnlsH with a percentage of better' than .690, and that la going to be pretty well Up-tor mis season in i'uo Weald u icaeuv.' Boston, and Cheesbra and Leever for Pitts burg. Only 1.500 people saw this truly re markable contest. ' All the circuit builders are Just sow busy watching the movements ot tha Amer ican and National leagues. Ban John aon'a plan to have a team In New Tork next season Is no longer 'a guess. About the only tiling left unsettled Is who will run It. Some of the wise ones"hsd Clsrk Qrfffilh tabbed for the place, but the poor abowtng Griffith haa made In his manage ment of the Chicago team during the sea on has. In a measure put him out of the running. Another guess puts' our own Van Brtot sows for the new magnate. . He l known, to. be .very closs to E. H. Harrl man, and the story runs that Harrlman Is Just as partlsl to dollars that come from ball game aa to those that come from a railroad. This story has It that Harrl man Is to finance and Van Brunt to man age the team, the latter still to hold his Interest In the Western. In retaliation tbe National league is to Invade Washing ton, putting Jimmy Manning back there to handle the team. Each league Is busy raiding the other's players, and another outbreak of rubberlegitla Is expected. All rumors of peace are scouted, and each of the magnatea Is singing, "War, war, war Is a bountiful jade.": It Is quite likely, though, that soma announcements will be made before tbe first of tbe year. Each of the leaguea has to hold Its annual meet Ing, and the discussions there may change the situation very materially. , ': Statistics based on the Omaha team's per formance during the last week need, little comment. 1 In fact, they are self-explsna- vm 1 . ..... - . . . battinq Averages.

It appear 1a a reduced scale It doea hot laek adherents. and enthusiastic ones. And It turns out that that bully boy White Wings Tebeau didn't have a lead pipe cinch on first place after all. Old Smooth Eph Watklns wasn't sayln' word, but just sawtn' wood right along, and the first thing Mr. Colonel Whits Wings knew he was out on tbe road to wind np the season and Watklns' Hooslers were at the top of the standing table. The closing aeries between Indianapolis and Loulsvlllle at Indianapolis drew forth record breaking attendance, over 16,000 paying to see the Labor day games, while the total attendance for the tour, games was nearly 29,000. On the aurface there doesn't appear. any Immediate danger that the mortgage on Watty's plant will - be foreclosed this season. Denver has finally atarted a crusade against the fool with the megaphone who disturbs players and spectators alike with bis Idiotic performance. Omaha drove him to tbe woods long ago. He made his appearance here once this season, but re ceived so little encouragement tbat he didn't come back. Base ball as it Is played nowadays, doesn't depend - on - the amount of noise made by the players or tbs people, and most folks who go do so to watch the sport and do not car to have their ears assailed by the Inane drivel ot a would-be wit, bellowed through a speaking trumpet. Raus mlt ths noisy guys. Let them go -to the woods and roar, and let the ball game proceed unln terrupted by their noise. A good tribute waa paid ping pong by Earl Farnsworth, the runner op In singles la ths recent Interstste tennis tournament. When be was In Omsha some three weeks before the tournament, practicing for the western championship affair, he was first Introduced to tbe table game. . At first he found, himself no match for his opponent and played three sets without winning a game. Then his native skill and headwork began to count. He curbed his speed and began keeping the balls on the table more. Aa aoon aa he could do that, his placing made him Invincible and he could . win readily from all comers-' Farnsworth plsyed ten sets of ping pong that first day and pronounced It a good game, one tbat demanded skill and brains and quickness and a good eye. Though the first bounce rule Is ironclad you can with practice work up a steam that Is surprising, snd In a clever game you do a grist of chasing around your end of the table that assures good perspiration and ahort breathe 'for the short-winded before many games are gone by. Tennis players in the Interstate also re celved tbe game warmly. When the ping pong tournament was opened on Tuesday night of tourney week tt was found' that only four of the forty-four entries had ever played the game. The rest .entered Into it with a vim, however, and soma ex citing contests were developed, the players necessarily dividing their time between trying to control and shorten their strokes and endeavoring ' to win games. Some Of them started In with their coats on;' but they soon found It more comfortable to remove them, for the games waxed warm. Finally, ping pong should be given , Its due aa a good game. It la a fad, of course. but almost all legitimate, sporta have lived through a sesson of faddom. At least. It Is far more than a contest In embroidery. Athletes enjoy It snd every muscle In the body can be exercised "In playing Jtr . Its popularity will be limited solely because of Its limited range and Its indoor location. ' NEBRASKA FOOT BALL TEAM will be booked from September 10 on, It being desired to taks that long to put the team in shape and working order. PING PONG AS A GAME OF SKILL Maay Pelats of Real ' Interest A boat the Latest of Ho. cle-ty'a Fads. Lark END OF THE BICYCLING FAD Collapse of the Trsst Reminds One of , Glerloaa Days of Wheel-, las In Omaha. No matter which team wins. the pennant now. It will bo no disgrace to the losers. Omaha, Kansas City and Denver have been at the top of the heap from the beginning ot tha sesson. Milwaukee, through the ' groat skill ot Ita leader, Hugh Duffy, who haa not only played wonderfully good ball hlmaelf, but baa inspired his men to do- ths same,, haa won his way from the very bot tom' to1 the Very top, and while there la little . hop of hla remaining there, his victory would certainly be a popular one. These -Jour teams .havs been practically neck and neck during tha last two weeks, and ths only changes tbat have been made In the standing table are due to the fact that they have' been, playing each other. As Milwaukee close the season In Omaha .Mdi Kansas City, to Denver, and as the pennant proposition Is not likely to be set tled until tbe last man la, out In the last game of the schedule, ths finish will be aa hot aa tbe moat enthusiastlo crank could possibly-whih. One thing Is certain, tbs Msertlon made by Tom Hlckey last spring that Tab "Brunt would name the pennant Winner hs been answered. ' - " Among Ihs remarkable performances on the ban field during the seaaon, ths games at Boston between: Pittsburg and Boston on " last 'Thursday 'will certainly shine. KkghteeB full Innings were played In a double header, and only on run waa- reg- ' Istered, being- made by Herman Long In ' the aeeond Inning of tbe first game. After ' that Boston played sixteen Innings without getting a man' home, and Pittsburg' never succeeded In getting a man around. Twenty bits and three errors wsrs made In the two games; - PUtlrfger and Malarkey pitched for ' The Introduction of a ping pong tourna ment as a collateral feature ot tbe Inter state Tennis tourney, and the more recent establishment of public ping pong parlors. In Omaha, serve to bring that game to the front aa something more than a mere parlor pastime. In view of these local facta and the prevalence of the sport the country over the question arises bt a way not to be Ignored whether or not plug pong la to become a legitimate Indoor sport. In view of - the keen Interest just now expressed la ping pong a discussion ot this would seem not untimely now. , - In tbe first place, no game waa ever ae handicapped at the start as this one. Dubbed "ping pong," Us chances for out living the frivolities implied by such a title were few Indeed. The name seems redolent of irresponsibility, of frittering, ot butterfly attentions and indifferent results. It seems to Imply In every letter and accent a game that is a mere vehicle for social meetings, one which la never to receive even so much as halt ths attention of the participaata. Such Is the general sense of ping pong as derived from the name. Tbla Inter pretation, meanwhile, is wldeepread. ' In fact, everyone who does not play ping pong has some such Idea of ita merits. Consider then the comparatively' smsll number of people who are familiar with tbe game, and it can be understood how extensive Is the derogatory opinion aa to this latest of "parlor" gamea. ' Those who have played ping pong realise the ntter mlstakennes of the notions named. They may alao admit the equal hopelessness of persuading anyons of ths game's real merit save by enticing him to participation. The game doea not sound well, and It looks a little better than It sounds, but not enough better to persuade anyone who Is a scoffer. But once give ihs doubter a ball and a board and set blm to work trying to win points and he will throw up bU hands and admit It alL Aa a matter of fact, ping pong, when played right,-is a fierce little game In itself. Of coarse, It Is liable to the aame abuses as any ether sport. Taks tennis, for example. You can play tenuis and you can play at It. . A lot of young girls who are beginners make a slow," uncertain, list less game, which any strong player would disdain to enter. But match two experts and what a glorious struggls you have. It ia just tbe aame in ping pong. . Tbe game can be spoiled or it can be played and tbe one pqint in which it excela even teaals ia that anyone can learn to play it well, while not all who ao desire can master the larger game. Tbe difference in activity and labor required accounts for this. As a matter ot fact, ping pong Is a mini' ture game of tennla and it la probable that it owes much ot Its popularity to the re semblance.

As the Isst chspter In the history of the meteoric rise and fall of a noble sport which was a fad comes the announcement of the collapse of the American Bicycle company, which has asked- for a receiver In New York City. Thle failure is a -death knell to cycling as a power.' For' the. last five years such a result has been approach ing. Inevitably, but not slowly. This has been recognized, and every Influence that could In any way effect a commercial mat ter has been at one time or another en listed In the effort to bolster up the waning popularity of bicycles. First vsst capital tried It, j but seeing , that the tide was not to be stemmed, tbe wisest and strongest of this dropped out, leaving more reckless promoters to remain under the walla and bear the ahock when they fell. , Later wheelmen themselves made a des perate stand against the wave of calamity, They argued that if they would themselves keep cycling hot It would outlive the storm. and spring forth again fresh and strong. In this tbey were frantically supported by retail dealers and by manufacturers. But It waa all of no avail, for the wheelmen found that when they attempted to or ganlse for concerted '"boosting" there were not enough ot them left, to mske a show, ins- or a mark. And ao It Is today. There are a few enthusiastic cycllsta remaining, but . they form a lonesome looking clan when one re members the proud enrollment of 1896- and thereabouts. '' Despite' all the seemingly plausible arguments why the bleycl could not die, its- demise baa come, and after a desperate struggle none of the causes ,de (tended upon for - ita rehabilitation and restoration into popular favor have sue ceeded. '' ' '. " . . . . ...".. It is-simply that time and street feara have demonstrated tbat the bicycle -was' not a necessity, but a fad, while the same In fluences, together with other means of loco motion, have shown with equal finality that cycling was not really fun, after all, tbat it was work rather than pleasure. Possibly no city in this country can furnish more striking illustrations of these truths of the passing of tbe wheel than Omaha." The Gate City waa bitten early and bitten bard. The bicycle crate bad a run here that was some thing furious. No city of this rise In the west could match it When in other placea tha "plungers" were Just beginning to real-1 tze what a bonanza the oycle waa to-be and were commencing. to advertise extensively and risk capital In tbe business Omaha waa already owned by a swarm, of the . wheel men. From '87 on till '98 this condition con tinued and grew. Speeding was one of the early phases, and soon Omaha waa a cycling racing center tbs yesr round. There 'were tracks Indoors and outdoors, of wood, can vas and dirt. And the next feature was- a swarm of Omaha racing products. From tbe strong riders of the city remark able stars were produced, and -with the advent of the Safety machine In the early '90s the crae was. only . doubled. Women then took it up, and no one was any body without a -wheal. - ' Wheelmen, aad ' .especially , rSctbg raea, were' the heroea of - tbe day. -Crowds that have never since been assembled at athletic events here gathered night after night and day after day to watch the thrilling con tests. Road racea became of frequent oc currence, but ' every finish found dense crowds lined op at the line, waiting through the hours for "first In". and ytlms winner." Baa, ball, horse racing and all other-sports paled Into Insignificance- before this passion tor wheels, and the. retail t dealers ' here coined money through tt all. Fully aa dramatic was the diminuendo, though cot ao widely noticed,' for people's minds were already on something else.- It may be aald to have stsrted here when- tbe eras was at its height, for that, very rap-, ture was ths debilitation of tbe aport. Once on the downalope, tbe falling away waa rapid, though bven then Insensible save to cycle dealera and professional riders. Tbe drop did not fall, It slid, but Its speed was great, and now that tbe bottom la prac tically reached nothing can be more abso lute than tbla disintegration ot a great sport. Omala May Get Two- Game Dnriif the " Cemiif leaaoi,- ." DATES TOR THE SCHEDULE ARE FIXED Maanarr Enel Han Ills Plans Well Laid aad Coaek ' Iteota. and Captain Weetover Are Ready to Start. Omaba wHI prebably get two of the gamea to b played by the University ot Nebraska fcot ball team this fall. This Is the latest information from -Manager Charles Engct. It has sll along been1 the Intention 'to bring the Haskell Indian school game up to the Gate City, and new a vacant' place in the schedule allows another. It will be with tbe tesm from Crelghton university, which has ssked for tbe November 22 date, the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving day. ' This date had purposely been left' open by Manager F.ngeL Northwestern unlver slty comes to Llncola for the Thanksgiving game, and a long' period' of unbroken preparation Tor this btg contest was desired. Knox college Is scheduled tor November 15 at Lincoln, and this, too," promises to be a stiff -game. It was - therefore -' decided to leave' everything open from' then ' till Thanksgiving day' To take on a game on the next Saturday, November 22,' would be to lave one Just five days preceding the af fair with Northwestern, and It seemed un wise to .assume the risk ot crippling the team' with so short a time for recuperation. Ever, aince CsacB Elllck contracted to coach the Crelghton boys this year he has been trying for a game with Nebrkska. He la good friends with Booth and Engel, know ing them well through last year's foot ball experience, when he was coaching the Has kell Indians. . At first Nebraska refused to give him a game on the gVound of no open date, but it baa' finally been decided to let treighton have', the . Saturday', preceding Thanksgiving and to play tbe game here. Last year . Omaha had, one Nebraska game, that wits,, Missouri, and I'irned out grandly to witness tbe .contest. II, is expected tbat tbe two gamea will be patronized still more strongly. Manager Engel himself Is an Omaha product, and la - the. chief factor among the rulers of foot ball at the uni versity that boosts for Omaha. Hta Influ ence haa resulted In the Haskell Indian date being a practical certainty, and he haa been working np - this Crelghton matter with Coach Elllck, Tbe Nebraska schedule for 1902 Is through aad through a matter o( peculiar, pride to Manager Engel. It contains more home datea than any schedule the Comhiiskers ever had. In- fact they are all coming to Nebraska thia year. Engel has seven games at home, a -remarkable number for any school. , Nor does this cheat tbe team out of any pleasant trips. There are juat three gamea away from home and everyone of those Involves a fine journey. One Is to Minneapolis, where the Gophers will be met. Assthcr tskes ths tesa to DerJver. where the University of Colorado team ia the opposition.- The third Is to 8t. Joseph, where the Cornbusker will' meet ths Tigers from Columbia, Mo.: '.- - ea Nebraska will not have a single game 1st a dinky town tbla year. Ot tbe aeven so called - home games five will be played at Lincoln and - two in Omaba. Lincoln gels Knox, Northwestern, . Grlnnell, Doane and Kansas. It took a lot of dickering to get aome of these games at home. With Kan sas it was a flat caae ot Nebraska's turn to go there: But the Cornhuskers- now find themselves able to take a position toward theft- rivals 1n the transmissouri country such si the schools of the Big Nine adopt toward Nebraska Kansas simply had to come to Lincoln or do without a game, and Kansas la coming. 'With Missouri It was much the same. Return games have here tofore been played at Columbia, where ths university Is located. It waa Nebraska's turn to' go' down. there, the Tigers having com her6 "last fall. 'Manager Engel told Manager Hetherfngton' that there were two good reasons why Nebraska should not come down to Columbia, because of the hard trip and because It waa a, losing affair always Hetheiingtnn 'admitted the truth of both and offered to see what could be done in St Joseph. This Is, of course, a corking good town and should get out a great crowd. Hetherlngton made satisfactory arrange ments there and the contracts are signed A big success may mean that hereafter all Nebraska'a games with Missouri away from holpe will be played In". St. Joseph. QI AIT FKAT1 ft 12 OF LIFE. Down In Georgia tbe other day, la the good city of Macon, they were telling ot experiencee during the earthquake dla turbancee of 1886. Thle waa given by an old town official: "The council was In session that night and when tbe quake shook tbe city hall from basement to attic the councllmen ran out, thinking the house would topple over. The minute of the meeting, as can be Seen by ths records, conclude with the following sentence: 'On motion ot the city hall tbe council adjourned.' " The Chicago Journal haa discovered and given to tbe world the following "saluta tory" of an Arkanaas editor: "Our aim Tell the truth, though the heavens take a tumble. Our paper Of- the people, for the people and paid tor by the people. Our religion Orthodox, with a firm belief In hell for delinquent subscribers. Our motto Take all In sight and rustle for more. Our policy To love our friends and brim atone our enemlee. It thine enemy emits thee on the cheek awlpe him with haste and dexterity at the butt of bis most con venient esr. What we advocate One coun try, one flag and one wife st a time. Our object To live In pomp and splendor." It Is said tbat an Oregon editor recently announced that for Just one Issue he would tell the truth, the whole truth, naked and unvarnished. That is, the truth was to be naked and unvarnished. Here la one Item from that Issue: "Married Mlsa Sylvia Smith to Mr. James Caraahan, last Saturday at the Bap tist parsonage. The bride Is a very or dlnsry girl about town, who doesn't know any more tban a rabbit about cooking and never helped her poor old mother three days In her lite. She Is not a beauty, by a long shot, snd haa a gait like a fat duck.. The groom Is known as an up-to-date loafer and has been living off his mother all bis life and don't amount to anything, nohow. They will have a tough time of.it and we withhold congratulations, tor we don't believe any good can come from auch a marriage." . Dr. Klein, one of the experts ot the Local Government board of London, has been In vestigating pies on behalf of tbe depart ment. "From an ordinary ham and beet shop, on two different occasions," he says In the report Just presented to Parliament, "two. elghtpenny pies and two tuppenny pies were bought and analyzed. None con tained bacillus coil, or other coll-like, mi crobes, and none contained the spores of any pathogenic anaerobe. But all contained the spores ot anaerobic non-pathogenic bacillus bactyrleus. Also all contained ths spores of bacillus mesenterlcus vulgatus, and staphylococcua albua of at least two different kinds: both of them non-llquefylng nd non-pathogenic." And this Is not tbs worst for "there waa Isolated rrom one 01 the tuppenny pies a bacillus which. In mor phological respects resembled the xcosls or pseudo-diphtheria bacillus.- COHTEHFLATIflG g nutans si il You should consider thoroughly the factors of skill, experience, reliability. etc., of a doctor or specialist before entrusting to him your health, the n II TT O qnlokly ' rand by netaf KaieWs Eeaeona I La ) ' imrmm The tint applionuoa givos instant nlul.
