WESTERN LEAGUE OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING Managers Talk Abo Their Ten ma Eathaalaats Begin to Bars larvae) Beforr Their Farorlte Flayer. Oet a good lead. Watch his arm. Bp ready, and go down oa the flrst ball. It's hit and run from now on. All over the country base ball players are getting into condl.lon and luao ball enthusiasts are on the top tension of expectancy, waiting for what will undoubt edly prove the greatest year In the his tory of the national game. Right here at Omaha the Interest never was keener; none the less so because we have a little local mystery of our own, one that Is bothering Papa Bill as much as any of us. Bill knowa who's going to catch, but neither he nor any of the other wise boys can tell who's going to pitch. It's a clnrh that Omaha will have some good pitchers If money can buy them, and that is about as far as aoy one can go in the matter Just now. Other managers In the Western league are giving out their teams, and up to date none of them look very fierce. Den ver shows up with about the same gang as last summer, barring Parke, the Umpire Eater. Tommy Delehanty Is to be bos of the bear pit this season, and If hs sticks to his showing of last year, Omaha will have Just about the same nort of record with Denver. No trouble to beat the Grizzlies In Omaha, but Impossible to touch tbem at Denver. Here's offering a big red apple against a doughnut that Pop Eyler doesn't win every game he pitches against Omaha this year. St. Joe Is to be handled by young Mr. Robe, the false alarm who cavorted around third base for the Joslea last year. That Is going to be a bad place for umptrea, too, for, if memory serves correctly, Mr. Robe's chief claim t distinction arises from his capiclty as a "kicker." At Dea Moines they are work ing overtime, burning Incense before young Mr. Leary, the shortstop. They admit that Joe Dolan has some claim to the premier honors, but atlll hope to see Charley land first. Frank Shugart, who will start under the banner of Big Bill Wil son, over at Tee-o-ree, Is allowed third place by these prohibition fanatics, and the rest are nowhere. Hugh Duffy, Bill Ever Itt and Charley Nichols are following very much the lead of Bill Rourke, and are sim ply sawing wood and watting for the season to open before winning the pennant. With these veteran managers at the head, at past four of the Western league teams will be equipped to put up first-class ball. Just what BUI Wilson will do as a manager can't even be guessed at. If he succeeds in keeping his collection of booze fighters sober enough to play he will have done a great work, and one that will entitle him to high atandlng la the list of base ball lm pressarlos. One of the cheering announcements of the week was that Joe Cantlllon had de cided to talk no more. Eever alnce Joe went through Omaha laat fall at the head of hla barnstorming aggregation he has been as busy as a cranberry merchant, tell ing what ha Intended to do. He began by signing all the atars of the California league, and not one of. them haa reported at Milwaukee. Then he algned a lot. of eastern stars and none of them have showed up to draw pay, checks' with fha Havenor name at the bottom So It looks as If Joe would have to start he rce ,rn the HIckey league wltl v rather ordinary bunch of ball players, and none too strong In the support ef the Milwaukee public: . It really looks as If Duffy la to have the bet ter of the argument In the Cream City next aeason, just aa he did laat. One big point In hla favor la that A. W. Freese has been removed from the position of base ball ed itor of the Sentinel and thla will Insure the Western league at least an even break In the news columns of the leading Milwaukee paper Thla will help a great deal, for last aeason the Western had to stand for a lot of unreasonable battering In the columns of the Sentinel. In big league clrclea the gossip has been mainly over the probability of - Barney Dreyfuss and hla ayndlcate buying out the Freedman-Brush combination In New-York. Something like this may be necessary,, for Brush doesn't seem to be at all inclined to live up to the letter of the Cincinnati peace agreement, not to speak of Its spirit. Ban Johnson haa secured his grounds In New York City and has a big force of men at work getting the Held ready to play ball. When dona ha will have the finest baaa ball plant In the world. The FTeedmanltea have thrown every possible obstacle Into his way, and these are not a few, for Freed man la a power In New York, but Johnson aaya he Isn't worried now that he haa the .lease signed up and la willing to take hla ' cbancea on having streets opened through his park next summer. Another little ripple is shown by the be havior of George Davla and Ed Delehanty. Davis Insists that he is going to play with Muggby McGraw'a outfit and Delehanty says he will play with Griffith's teatn or not at all. And both of thera insist that they will collect the big salaries they were offered, play or no play. Harry I'ulllatn and Ban Johnson have told thla pair that they will play where they were assigned by the peace conference that . is, Davis with Comlskey and Delehanty with Tosi Loftus or they'll do no playing and will draw no pay. This situation la going to lead to another de cision on base ball players' contracts and the probabilities are that It will be in favor of the magnates and against the rubber legs. President HIckey gave out bis staff of umptrea for the aeason last week. The chief point In favor of them seems to be that no one knots them. Denver gives them enthuslastlo endorsement, but Just wait till the Denver team loses a game on the home grounds. The failure of the Hlckey-Sexton errand to the Pacific coast has been dlscountel and no one seem ato rare to talk about It. It la admitted out there that one aide or the other will go broke on railroad farea early In the aeason, and everybody appears willing to watt and aee. Another one, and a humdinger, according to all of the talk of those who think they know, Is this new slab contortionist Papa Bill has picked for a trial .rip with the toys. Aa a real vender of cur fee with all if Sale Ten Million Boxes a Year. THI FAMILY'S r V. VVCANDY CATHAWTl C m&r 9 9Wb -j BEST FOR THE BOWELS of irped be H one of the best ever, thy nil dpclare. When he Is at homo. op In Humphrey, the folks all call him Joe Oalaakl, but the name Is pretty hard to say. It was only laat Thursday that be was added to the lint of trial trips that tm Is using In making t number. Transporta tion was sent light out to htm and he will Join the team on April 1. "People are beginning to realize that tbe team la a permanent fixture.' Papa Bill ssld tho other day, "and they give proof of their belief by taking season tickets without a great deal of persuasion. Last year tickets for the season weren't going like hot cakes at this time of the year. That isn't saying that they are doing so now, but still the bleachers and grand atanda won't be empty many gamea unless the people don't want to use their tickets. "The games that I had hoped to hsve with Ccmlskey's Chicago American league team on April 18 and 19 have fallen through, as the team will play lu Chicago those dates, but we will play against St. Joseph Instesd and they will be good and Interesting games. And then I hive added a game with Belcvue college for April 18. - AH of these three games will be played on tbe home grounds." AMCNG THE BUSY AMATEURS Oniahn la to Sea Inwonted Activity on Tart of the Ball Players This Kraaon. The gentle breezes cf a few springlike days have started the base ball fever a-go-Ing In the hearts of the students and col legians In Omaha. Preparations made I earlier for tbe season bore fruit with the first of the spring days and the High achool lads, the Crelghton college boys and those of the Omaha Medics and the School for the Deaf were out trying their mettle. With the exception of the boys at Creigh ton this outdoor wcrk was the first that has been done for the season. The Crelgh ton boys have had the use of their cage and have profited by It Immensely and are' way ahead of tbe others In preparation. At the High school they are working on dope mostly as yet, aa there are a good many new men who are trying for the team and no one knows what their coming may mean to the team. Things look bright, far brighter than they ever were last ST.son, for that team didn't make good, al though It d!d get more than half of the games it played. The team has been placed under the management of Miles Greenleaf, who will Incidentally do a tew of the twirling stunts. The outlook for the man agement la very good, as the team will have no expenses which cannot be met at tho beginning, with tbo exception of the suits, and these will be furnished by the athletic asaoclation. Claude Robertson of last year'a team Is captain and will play on the Initial bag without a doubt. Besides Greenleaf for the twirling there will be Lowell. At the backstop both Falrbrother and Burnett are making a try for the work and It will probably be divided between them during the aeaaon. At third "Spike" Kennard, -one of tbe fastest kid players In the city, will put up hla sign, while a large number are out after second and shortstop. Among the most promising of the candi dates for these places are Yoder. Devalon and Kroh, with a place almost certain for Yoder. He la only a freshman, but plays good, heady ball and la pretty good with the atlck. Where the real trouble Ilea in getting a team la In the gardena, where there are no good men ahowlng up. It is hoped that with a few days' outdoor prac tice there will be a ahowlng of some men for these positions. The season for ' the teams' opena with a game with the Field club second teamn. April 1TC While) the. I chequle '-will hot be. completed for some (lays, it Is Certain that It will include gamea with Lincoln, Sioux City, Des Moines, Belle rue, Crelghton, Lemara, Tabor an the second University of Nebraska teams. Cot- ner may be played on April 23 at Omaha. The School for tbe Deaf closed lta basket ball season three weeks ago and elected P. E. Seely manager of the base ball team for this year. Suite' have Just been re ceived by the team and they have started in practicing. Prospects for a better team than last year are very good. A few games bavea been scheduled, but the manager is trying to nil dates atlll for April 4, May 2 9, 16 and June 6. A te a- weeks ago' the base ball magnates of the Field club held their ante-season meeting and elected officers for the teams, Will Tippery waa made manager for both teams, Harry Knox captain of the : first team and Gall Martin captain of the sec ond. The aeason will commence on April 11. the Omaha Field club playing Crelghton college. The grounds this year, under the auperb rare of Oroundkeeper Gibson, will be, as before, the best and fasteat In the statoi Besides this a large and capacious grandstand is being erected for the- con venience of the spectators, and It la safa to say that there la not a mora complete bass ,bnll grounds In Nebraska than belong.) to the Field club. Tbe first team this year wll be compoaed chiefly of the pick of the young bloods of last year'a team, strength ened by the addition of many local atars who have Joined the club.. There is no doubt that the Omaha Field club base ball team this year will be one of the fust- est amateur teams in this neck of tho woods. To prove this fact there will prob ably be a mutch with, the University of Nebraska In the middle of April. Tho second team, under the leadership of Gall Martin, will probably give the flrst team a good rub for honors. It Is composed of tho younger members of tbe club and will play an Interesting schedule with teams of about the High school caliber. Their flrst gome will be with the Omaha High school on April 11. Manager Tippery hereby Issues a wide-open challenge to the world for base ball gamea and wishes all communications addreased to him, care ef the Aetna Insurance company, New York Life building, Omaha. Omaha will have between twenty and thirty other amateur and aemi-amateitr teams on the diamond this summer and many of tbem promise to put up an ex cellent article of ball. The Field club Is planning to put one of tha best team It haa ever had on the Held and the Orlg Inals are planning to play with all of J their old players that they have bad for tne last nve years ana men some, uesiaea this there are tbe Red Colts, C. N. Diets team, the wholesale grocers, the retail clerks and many other organlzattona that are buying uniforms and getting ready for the fray, so that Omaha will always have a game going on eomewher.

ATHLETICS AT THE UNIVERSITY Base Hall and Track Events Occapy the Attention o the Masea lar Student. . Devotees of the national game were given an opportunity to aee the drat large prac tice last Tuesday at the University of Ne braska. Eddie Gordon had the gang at work on the field then, about forty strong. The weather made things a little' alow last week and some unpleasant thlnga were said In the locker room Thursday about tha Weather bureau. The date which waa open. May 7. has been taken by Lombard university of Galesburg, 111. This will make two gamea at that city, the other be ing with Knox college on May I. Laat yea the men were out two weeka earlier than this. Nevertheless Inside practice) haa been more effective than formerly and thla will In a measure offset tbe tardlnesa of begin ning outdoor work this year. Last Tues day, from 2 to & o'clock, the old .gridiron presented a busy scene. Tha battery Candi dates were given a chance to show what they could do and the fielders were kept on the Jump for file. Batting was prac ticed and Coach Gordon expressed himself as very much encouraged by the skill with Which acme' of the new men - wielded the club. Wednesday afternoon the.. men were out in force again. In point of the number of old university men, the team will not be strong. There were but three men who had made the team before on the field at first practice. The strength of the team Is not to be Judged by this alone. The new ma terial la not so green as it might be. Most of tbe candidates have played before on the second team or high school teams, or some other. The new men showed up very well laat. Wednesday and showed the effects of the cage work they have been doing under the direction of a competent coach. Cap tain Townsend says that by the middle of next, week a squad of tweuty-flve. will be picked and from these positions on the first and. second teams will be filled. Infield practice will begin next week and things will be put In shape for team work. A new man came out laRt week to put in his bid for first base. It la Moore, who played first on the Grlnnell team last year Wilson also has a desire to loaf on flrst. For second base no one has shown up to declarea his Intentions aa yet and perhaps Captain Townsend will. occupy this place If he ia not used in the pitcher's box. For the position of shortstop Johnson, formerly of the Fremont team, and -Steen are putting In some pretty good licks. Ramsey is also showing good form at picking up "grinders. On third, or rather around third base. Hood covers a great amount of space for so small a man, but when the ball comes his way he Is "Johnny on the spot-." There Is a good crowd of outfielders. . Jim Bell, Shtmer or Gore would do well In .any ef the field positions, and Johnson, Huffman-and Moore have ebowed up well also. Th" results .of Coach Gordon e work are quite apparent He has brlghte'nrd-prospects, for a-winning Meant considerably. He feels confident of a successful season and Imparts confidence In tho men under him. Manager Bell now haa the final achedulo made out. Nebraska will this year meet twenty-six teama In regular games, besides the practice game which . will be . played On tha home grounds twelve regular games will be played, the first of which will be the games with the Omaha league team en April 13-14. The- trip which has been planned will go through five sfates, Iowa, lllllnols, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas. The trip wilt consume fifteen daya. Twelve men will be taken, viz., tho team, two subs and the manager. Practice games on tbe home grounds will be played with the fa rucrs' and merchants' team of Lincoln, Doane college. Young Men's Christian as sociation, Wesleyan university and tbe Lin coln High school. Tbo field is being put In shape, aa the bleachers which were erected for foot ball would be In the way. The fence about the field haa been removed and the ground will be put in ita beat shape possible. The boya who wish to inter for places on the track team bare registered and forty names have been handed In. The few dayj of fair weather wcrn utilized for out door practice, and the prospect for a win ning track team is gratifying. Most of laat year'a men are back in their places, and there are a number of valuable ac quisitions from the era k team of the Lin coln High bchool of last year. Benedict, though a freihman In school. Is a phenom. on the athletic field. He will do the pole vault stunt. Johnson, the colored boy, and Lehman are also out. Captain Toblu of the track team will work with tbe ahot and hammer, as will also Borgc, Graves, Hlnkle and Martin. With so competent a trainer as Dr. Clapp, there seems to be no reason why Nebraska ghould not carry off lta ahare of the honors.' If the team does not meet with success It will certainly not be the fault of tbe coacher or captain, as they are doing everything they can to bring . track athletics up to as high a standard as foot bull. The schedule for the track team bits not been completed yet. Manager Walters stated Friday that meets with South Dakota at Sioux City, with Kansas university at Lawrence and the atate meet at Crete have been cinched. Several other dealB are In the air, but In any event, the trip will be well worth while for the men to try for. The Sioux City meet will ha held on Decoration day. Fifteen men, Including the coach" and man ager, will be taken on the trip. The athletic board held its regular meet ing last MondayJ Members of the basket ball team were given Jerseys bearing tha "N" In recognition of the good work they did in the past season. The second base ball team was given the prtvlllge to use the field on three school days to make Friday games posslblle. Tbe new sup plies for the base ball team have arrived and a good supply of balls and bats are on hand. The team la now well equipped and Is confident of doing good work when It Is turned loose. HIGH SCHOOL STARS CONTEST Classes. Prepare for Aaaaal (iinpetl. . tloa for rioalac Basket - Kail UKMea. , Tbe classes of the high school ar busy preparing themselves for tbe contest that they are to have next Friday evening at Germauia ball. Ia connection with th class contests which are multifold la form there will be a basket ball contest between the flrst team of tha high school and that rl 8loux City High school. More Interest centers around this game than tbe other contestt, rs It Is the lasi one of tha year and Sioux City already has a closely played one to lta credit. The lineup cf the two teams will be Identlrsl with that of the previous game and th; home learn feels that It has the best of chances to win with It. They have at least the advantage of their own court an 1 tho presence of the home rooters, which they did not have In the other game. The basket hall team was uutortunatu this year In being composed of new men entirely with the exception of Captain Cherrlngton. and so they hsve gone down to defeat In their three principal games, two with Lincoln and" one with Sioux City. Despite this hard luck, the boys have atayed together and held the confidence of tbe school, and, with all of thera back next year, will be heard from quite fre quently. .- There are six class contests, of which three are individual and three team events. The individual eventa are the high dive, the hand walk and wrestling contests. For each of these contests . flrst place counts five polnta, secoud place, three points, and third place, one point. In the team con tests the senior and Junior classes will meet and the sophomore and freshman, the winners to contest for first place, which counts Ave polnta. In tbe preliminary con tests flrst place will count three points. The candidates for the Individual con- testa are about selected and the different clasaea will be represeuted as follows, with perhaps a few slight changes: Seniors Hugh Vrallaee, captain: Ernest Kelly, ham! walk: Albert F-tirbiother. high dive; Roy fathers, wrestling match. JuntorsH. C Hur.ter. captain; Harry Ccmchman, h.iml .walk; H. G. Conns man, man dive; Holland gnieids wrestling match. - - Sopohomores Clnronco Walsh, captain; Dick Patterson, hnnd walk; Robert Hwltx- ler. high dive; C. O. Grossman, wrestling match. Freshman Frank Tomsett, captain; Cy rus Bowman, hand walk and wrestling match; Frank Tomsett, high dive. HUNTERS AFTER WATER FOWl Hlaii Water Prevents BIk Bases, lint the Minis Are Here in llnee Flocks. .All week long the hunters have been slipping away from their homes and wives on the excuse that tbey needed a few days' vacation and have been lying out along the banks of the rivers and on the sand bars of the Platte, waiting for. the ducks they never shot. But they have all come back with fabulous tales of the ducks they killed and ate' and of those that fell out of tha reach of th.e!r dogs, but those they brought home for the family and friends have been very, very few. The trouble has not been that the ducks were few or that they were such poor shots that they couldn't hit thera when they had the opportunity, but the rivers are too high' and only a few of tbe lakes have opened up. The waters on the rivers, which are all opened up, are too extensive to give the hunters an oppor tunity to reach the ducks. Within a week or ten days, when the high water has nub-, sided somewhat, the bugs that the sports men will bring back will be marvelous, for all of the early reports of ducks and geese a-plenty on Nebraska streams were not overrated, according to .all of the Omaha men who have been out after them. With the lakes open ahd the rivers low, they will not be difficult to get. at, and several hun dred local hunters are preparing for out-. lngs of a week or ten days out on the west ern ranches 'of Ihe Platte, . the Loup and the Elkhorn and up In 'the sand hills. Omaha sportsmen are "not the 'only ' ones that are expecting to do aome bunting thla spring, either. One local wholesale house that sella most of lta goods to state people haa sold-two carloads of " shells for spring and would like to have more to sell. They ! don't, have a decoy duck In the bouse and declare that a folding decoy can't be houghu. in Ouiaha from a'slogle: dealer. ''I'ihlnk," , one of the' Arm said, "(hat there must bcj more decoys than ducks on Nebraska i streams and lakes. But I know that Isn't true, for I was out three days last week and saw lota of ducks,-but only got close enough to five to shoot tbem." ..-The Geneva Gun club will give an open tournament and trap shoot at Geneva on March 25 and 26 and a party of Omaha men. among whom are W. B. Townsend, Charles A- Lewis and Henry McDonald, are pre paring to be In attendance for the purpose of carrying an ay a few of tbo honora.

No good house keeper ever neglects Spring cleaning. With plenty of soap and water, hard scrubbing and scour ing, sunlight and air, she soon gets rid of all rubbish, musty odor?, germs and microbes, and the dust arid dirt that have accumulated during the long winter months, and everything about the place is f reshf ned up and given au air of newness and neatness that sujes-L" health and com fort. But when the house has been pui in order, and the premises cleared of all old plunder and. trash, the great majority of house keepers feel thut Spring cleaning is over, and forget that their systems may be in a worse condition than the house, and that the bad feelings, debility, loss of appetite, nervousness and sleeplessness fror.i which they are suffering are due to neglect of the more important and necessary work of Phys ical, house' cleaning. A clean house does not insure against disease, but a cleau system does. The poisons and humors engendered within the body, the waste matter that is clogging the system and contaminating and vitiating tLe blood, are far more dangerous to health than the dirt and dust of our homes. In the wiutei time we give free rein to our appetites, and eat more and oftener than is for our good. We inhale the polluted air of badly ventilated offices and rooms, take little or no exercise, and our bodies become a veritable hot-bed of disease-bearing germs, and our blood is loaded with impurities and poisons of every conceivable kind; and no wonder that Spring time is so often Sick time and finds us in such poor physical condition, with vitality slowly wasting away, our digestion impaired, the liver torpid, and all the bodily organs over-worked and out of repair. Unless our systems are given a thorough cleaning, and the blood purged and purified, the simplest malady may develop into some serious disorder or end in chronic invalidism, and often the pent-up impurities, poisons and humors break out' through the skin, and all through the Spring and Summer you are tormented with boils, itchy rashes, sores, bumps and pimples, and all manner of ugly pustular and scaly eruptions. Physical house cleaning should begin with the blood. It must be purified and strengthened, and when a stream of pure, rich blood is turned into all the nooks and corners of the S3'stei:i . the rubbish and disease-proc;icing poisons are washed out, and the congested channels am avenues of the body are opened, and Physical house cleaning is made thorough and complete. S. S. S. cleanses the blood of taints and poisons and expels the waste and rubbish from the system. It is to the system what soap and water are to the house. Nothing else so quickly removes the best of all. blood purifiers, but an unequalled tonic and appetizer. It builds you up, improves the appetite, and aids the digestion and assimilation of food, and keeps the system in a health-, vigorous condition. S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable, and can be taken by the old, middle aged and young without danger of any harmful effects. S. S.
