Hopefully the gentle dove of peace rllrigi
to the base ball limb, and walta. And you
don't want to overlook the fact that that
same, gentle bird la tf'vln an exhibition
of Pobby Carter on third end Frank Onlns
on first, with old Dead-Arm Tark Wilson
behind the bat.. It la up on Its toea and
ready to execute a double steal on the first
ball pitched. And you can't blame the
ova, at that. Doves don't like to he
toned, and the baseball dove hen been such
target for miscellaneous bombardment
during the last four or five years that it
required the most oristtnt coaxing to got
It to even hover, let alcne brood. Now
that It la brooding, let us htipe that It will
not be scared away, but be allowed to nest
nd make a home and hatch out a wholo
mesa of little doves, so that peace may bs
maintained for a long time to come. Han
Johnson aays he's wlllln', and after tho
meeting of the Johnsonites this week a
committee will b appointed to meet th"
committee from the National, and this
armistice will be transformed Into a pro
tocol and the protocol Into a treaty, and the
buslnesa of "organized ball" will be estab
lished as it waa In the . beginning. Con
cerning the outlook for peace President
Johnson said h ) believed n sutlnfactrry com
promise could bo reached, but he declined
to talk In advance of the probable tenua for
aucb. an agreement. He. stated: "I think
I can say without Jeopardtilng any Inter
ests, however, that there will be two
leagues and not a consolidation Into a
twelve-club circuit. I find public senti
ment strong throughout the country In
favor of two leagues, and there are not
more than two or three dun owners In
favor of returning to twelve clubs. There
la none In the American. Our circuit will
be Doston, Chicago. New York, Philadelphia,
Cloveland, Detroit, Wawhlngton and St.
Louis. There Is a coterlo of men In Pitts
burg ready, to make a handsome offer for
the Detroit franchise and club, but no
transfer could be mnde without the league's
ratification, and I do not know that tho
league would ratify It."
Ing third base, anl wai doing real well
for a man with a badly sprs!n"d arm. In
the eleventh Inning Kansas City had a man
nn third and one man cut. The batter
bortted a high foul that came down far
bark of third b.ne. Renin was under It,
and the catch looked easy. Hut Gcnlns
muffed It, and a groan went up from the
crowd. It wasn't half as deep aa the groan
that went up from the Kansas City bench,
for that meant the loss of a run to them.
While Genlni was waiting for the foul to
come down he saw th" Kansas City runner
getting ready for a dRBh home. Almcnt
certain that he could not throw the ball
to the plate In time to catch the runner,
owing to his sore arm, Renins deliberately
muffed the foul, took an error, and as
events subsequently proved, won the game.
That Is the difference between a brainy,
honest pleyer and one who wants to show
up veil In the average column at the end
of the season.
Matters In the Western are at a standstill.
Out In Denver the fans are Indulging In the
customary debate r. to whether Oeorge
Tebeau will put In another team there to
compete with Packard. Over at Dcs Moines
the bulldln-ts have been draped because
Ducky Holmes ducked to Washington, and
the grief Is still further enhanced by
rumors that Undertaker Qulnn la to have
cherge of the obpequies In St. Louis. Kid
Nichols was offered that place, but pre
ferred to stick to Kansas City. In Omaha
Papa Bill Rourke Is keeping open house,
waiting for tho coming of anybody or any
thing that can play ball, for Papa Bill la
a good fellow to the youngsters, and la
willing to give any of them a chance. He
has his eye on some promising material
but isn't making any announcements.

One of the first effects of a peace com
pact between the big Icaguea will doubtless
be a reduction In the fanry prices paid for
star players. Salaries of $7,G00 and tha
like are too high. It may be that the rale
of $3.G00 or thereabouts will be maintained,
but It Is a settled fact that clubs cannot
afford to pay the figures reached by eomn
of the players last season. In ona or two
Instances, notably that of Cleveland, the
experiment proved a good Investment, but
aa a rule the advertisement Is hardly worth
the money paid for it. Our old friend
LaJoio waa a wonderful drawing card last
summer, but It la a question aa to whether
he will be the attraction next season. Ho
la a trifle shelf-worn as a novelty, you
know. Good, honest, every day ball play
ers, who have tho good of the game and tho
Interests of their team at heart, are worth
far more to a club than the star who la out
for tho atufl and whose main Interest In
base ball centers on salary day. The
unfortunate part of the affair la that the
hard-working ball player gets from tt.800
to $2,600 for tho season, while the star,
who goes In for a record, gota from $1,000
to $1,500 a month.
Ned Hanlon of Supcrba fame la out with
about tho funnleat proposition any of the
managers have made yet. It la that the
error column be abolished from the acorn
table. Mr. Hanlon contenda that If the er
ror column were abolished, or If the rule
waa modlflod ao aa to eliminate errors made
on ground balls, that fielding would be
much more effective than It now la, for tho
shirking and loafing on hits would be aban
doned by the playera who do not cars to
take a chance that they may end In a black
mark. He would have an error charged
only for a muff of a fly or a thrown ball.
Such a rule would make the path of tho
record player one of unalloyed delight, and
many a man would go through the sesson
with a fielding record absolutely clear.
But there If a grave doubt as to whether
It would Improvo the fielding any. A shirk
Is a shirk, no matter where you put him.
He will let ground hits get away from hira
from theer Indolence, or because he doean't
like the pltchar, or for any of a number of
reasons that might be cited, and hla case
Is one for managerial treatment, for chang
ing the preaent scoring rules will not reach
him. As the rule stands, unlesa the scorer
be Incompetent, or biased, which la worse,
the player has everything In hla favor. It
Is plainly set down that In all cases of
doubt the fielder la to be exonerated from
error. It la left to the judgment of the
scorer tt the hit be too hot or too alow to
handle cleanly In time to make a put-out
and the aaroo discretion exists aa to thrown
balls. Scorers all understand this and are
fair enough as a rule to award errors only
IllHKrut Sign In the World.
New Yorkers who are used to big things,
have ben astonished during the past week
by a painted sign at the corner of Broad
way and Spring street, covering the north
side of two eleven-story buildings. This
BlRn covers 15,416 square feet of space and
Is by far the largest advertising sign ever
painted. The picture Is the well known
figure of "Sunny Jim," who for so many
months has testified to the goodness of
"FORCE." not only over the entire United
States, hut in the United Kingdom, as well
In this picture "Sunny Jim" Is 112 feet
6 Inches In height. His hat la 17 feet
Inchca tall and 15 feet broad. Hia nose la
10 feet long. Hla ear Is 3 feet 9 Inches
high. His arm Is 17 feet long, hla legs 60
feet long. His thumb extends over a space
of 5 feet. The height of his collar Is 12
feet 6 inches, and hla tie 1b 7 feet 6 lnchea
In height. Hia cuffs are 6 feet 3 lnchea
wide. The buttona on ihe coat are 3 feet
9 Inches In diameter, and hia cuff buttons
are 3 feet 6 inches In length. "Sunny Jim's"
feet are 20 feet long and the cane which
he carries is 60 feet In length. His dog
which sports along by hlavslde, Is 42 feet
6 Inches In height.
With this -enormous sign, the reading
matter Is very brief and. fills but a small
part of the space. It la as follow:
"Vigor, Vim, Perfect Trim,
'FORCE' made him 'Sunny Jim."

FIFTKFNTH AND CAPITOL AVENUE. PHONE 2120
John R. Bender has been elected captain
of the Nebraska university team. He should
make an unusually good leader. Bender Is
a Junior and has played one of the halves
for two seasons, being always a star of the
team.
The new captain of Chicago hat been cen
ter on the team for two seasons, being a
strong line player and also one of tho most
reliable kickers in the west. He entered
the university In 1899, but did not return
In 1900. When he re-entered the univer
sity in 1901 be was able to win his present
position.
Allen C. Abbott, who has Just been
elected captain of Wisconsin for 1903, has
been In the university for three years. He
has held the position of left end for two
seasons and waa the only Wisconsin man
to be unanimously chosen for the All-
Western eleven.
Minnesota's new captain, Edward Rogcr3.
has played an end on that team for two
years. He Is a half-breed Indian and has
played on the Carlisle Indian team.
Claude Rothgeb has been elected to lead
the Illinois aggregation through the 1903
season. He has put In two years with the
university, playing guard, tackle and end
Other men elected for 1903 captaincies
are Redden for Michigan, Clevenger for
Indiana. Fleager for Northwestern and
Coulthard for Iowa.
Selberts, the star of the Iowa team, has
been declared Ineligible by the athletic
board, he having played on the team of
Wesleyan before coming to. the university
and being put out by the four-year rule.
The students have asked that he be given
the athletic management for next season,
There Is an agitation for the suppression
of the Thanksgiving day foot ball game
among some persons who believe that the
day should be kept aa of old, by family
reunions, church services and the like ob
servances. The Junior college council of
Chicago university has brought the matter
to the consideration of the faculty of that
Institution and requested that the game be
discontinued. There Is little likelihood that
auch action will be taken, aa the Thanka
giving day game has come to bo considered
a permanent Institution. The facntty did
take a similar action In regard to games
formerly played on Marshall field on Me
morlal day and no athletic events now take
place at that time. Thoao who favor this
action point to the discontinuance of the
Yale-Princeton Thanksgiving day game aa
showing tbe sentiment In regard to the
matter In the east. Others, however, say
that this contest was discontinued Tor the
reason that, being played In New York, It
was the cause of a protracted celebration In
the metropolis by a large body of students
by which both the work and the reputation
of the universities suffered.
Much aatiafactlon Is reported among the
students of Northwestern university over
the engagement of Walter E. McConrack
formerly coach at Dartmouth, for a period
of three years. McConrack will go to
Evanston this week to meet the men who
compose the foot ball squad and talk over
the 1903 season. The great difficulty In
securing a first-class team for Evanaton
Is the fact that notwithstanding the large
attendance of the university, only about 430
male students were registered Inst fall. It
Is not exactly known what remuneration
the new roach will receive, but it Is be
lieved that he will get about $3,000 per
annum.
College athletes are already hard at work
trying for places on the track teams In their
respective lines. The University of Ne
braska has never come to the front In track
athletics, principally because of the aystem
of compulaory military drill, which provides
exerclae for the students and takea up tho
time which would otherwise ba devoted to
athletics.
The Harvard foot ball defeat at the hands
of Yala has made the track men all the
more' keen for a victory, and tbey are
straining every nerve la the attempt to pre
pare a victorious team for the couteat with
tha blue aud also for the Mott Haven
games. In aJI departments except the ham
mer throw the crimson team Is said to be
an unusually strong one. Bcheuber, Schick
and Williams art a fast trio of sprinters,
and there are a number of fast freshmen.
Captain Llghtner, Ayer, Rust and Doyle are
training for tbe quarter mile. Fur the
hurdle, both high and low, Bcheuber, Edsoa,
McLeod, Baer and Williams are In training.
Walsh, Channing, Adama, Boynton, Behr
and Trott are th more proralnen candi
dates for tha half mile, and Caldwell. Car
ter, Buffum and Trott will try for the mile
and two miles. Fsur good shot putters are
numbered in the team, Tlngley, Bchoenfuss,
Spear and Burke. Piper, who last year carT
rlod oft the hammer throwing honors, will
probably he on tbe team again this season,
but hs is not considered to be the equal of
8hevlin of Yals. There Is a fine bunch of
man out for tha Jumping events, and, taking
It altogether, It looks like a good year for
Harvard, provided, of course, that the men
Improve aa well as U expected.
Chicago university Is reported to have a
fine squad of freshmen out for practice,
and much Is hoped from them. In tbs try-
out Isst week nothing unusual was done
but a high average of ability was shown
Th quarter mil and high Jump seemed t
bring out better talent than the other
vents. Perrias. Sullivan and Quantrell ar
expected to develop wall, the latter es
peciallr. Hall won the twe-mlle tryout
and Parklncton, Bllsi and Ivieon were the
best half-mile men.
The first meeting of the raclfle coast com
mittee of the Olympian games was held
last night In the rooms of the Pacific Ath
letic association. A plan has been outlined
which Is expected to result In the Pacific
coast being represented by a strong team,
both at the Olympian games and the St.
Louis exposition. A handicap field day will
be held at the Berkeley oval In April, and
another In Portland, Ore., under tbe dlree.
tloa of H. H. Herdman, Jr., athletic com
missioner for the northwest. The proceede
of theae field days will be the nucleus of a
fund to send the Pacific coast team east.
QI AIXT FKATinES OF LIFE.
John Smith of East Liverpool, O., and
John Smith of Cumberland, Md., were In the
same regiment during the civil war. The
Ohio John became blind aa a result of
wounds, but was drawing only $12 a month
pension, tbe aame as Maryland John. A
bill was passed la congress Increasing the
latter'a pension to $24, but by mistake It
was awarded to blind John. The other
found out the mistake and his congressman
endeavored to have It rectified, but the com
mittee Investigating the esse thought blind
John was the more entitled to increase and
refused to make a change. Now another
bill on Maryland John's behalf has been Introduced.
Frank Shaw la lying In Cooper hospital.
Philadelphia, suffering from a broken back,
the result of a fall of sixty feet at the New
York Shipbuilding company three weeks ago.
He was Informed that he coulr not possibly
get well, and that there waa but one hope.
and that In an operation. He announced
that he would not risk the operation. The
surgeons declared they never before saw a
man in full possession of his mental facul
ties refuse to have an operation performed
when assured It waa th only thing that
would save his life. Tho physicians say
that ho may live a week or a month, yet
hla death Is certain in a very short time.
According to a Belgian paper, a woman
whose husband had lost his life In a railway
accident received from tho company 10.000
francs by way of compensation. Shortly
after she heard of a traveler who bad lost
a leg atid had been paid 20,000 francs. The
widow at once put on her bonnet and shawl
and went to the office of the company,
"Gentlemen, how is this?" she asked. "You
give 20,000 francs for a leg, and you allowed
me only 10,000 francs for the loss of my
husband." "Madam," was the .reply, "the
reason Is plain. Twenty thousand francs
won't provide him with a leg, but for 10,000
francs you Can get a husband."
Bessie Brennan of Philadelphia la the
first person to whom savage old Bolivar, the
large Zoo elephant, has ever shown gal
lantry. Mies Brennan was admiring Boli
var's huge body and feeding him with pea
nuts. She leaned too far over the rail and
her new winter hat dropped off. Bolivar
picked It up and lifted it high In the air,
while Miss Brennan and her girl friends
screamed at the thought of Bolivar swal
lowing tho stylish headgear. Bolivar, how
ever, lowered his trunk and Miss Brennan
resolutely reached for her hat. "Give It
here!" she demanded, and Bolivar, to the
astonishment of everybody, "gave It." No
body was more deeply Impressed than Har
rison, Bolivar's keeper, who never saw him
obey anybody. "I tell you," said Harrison,
"the American girl gets what she wants
every time." ,
Santa Claus has been refused admission
to Hamilton, O., by the pastors of that city
on the charge that he is an Importer. A
council of thorn has been held, and they
have decided that Santa Claus Is a myth
and that that myth Is simulated only by
certain male persons of large girth, who at
tire themselves In false wigs and faces and
mislead Innocent children into believing in
a personage that does not exist. In the
name of everlasting Truth, out with him.
In the place of Santa Claus, with his
slelghbells and fur-trimmed blouse, there
are to be Christmas carols and we doubt
not a lecture on Bethlehem but not a pea
nut or a gumdrop. It Is plain to see that
Hamilton la to be a cheerless place, sad and
dour, this Christmas, unless Santa Claus
sets up Just outside the corporation line,
unabarbed by the public exposure of his
character. But the boys and girls will be
kept away from his corrupting and con
taminating presence, though, notwithstand
ing the caroling of their Christmas carols,
there will be some yearning In small
breasts for their absent saint, and partic
ularly for his sacka of red and yellow candy.
This is a big country, and Santa Claus will
have plenty of work to look after, but the
disloyalty even of one town In his
dominions cannot help but put an extra
wrinkle In his otherwise Jolly countenance.
