WESTERN LEAGUE OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING
Ma nan ere Talk Aboit Their Trnma
a4 F.atbaslaats Resin to llari
Ice Before Their
Favorite riayera.
Qet a good lead.
Watch hla arm. Bp ready, and ca down
on tha first ball. It's hit and run from
now on. All oyer tha country base ball
players are getting Into condl.lon and bjso
ball enthusiasts are on the top tension of
expectancy, waiting for what will undoubt.
dly 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 bothprlnj
Papa Bill as much as any of us. BUI
knows who's going to catch, but neither he
Dor any of tha other wise boys ran tell
who's going to pitch. It's a cinch that
Omaha will have some good pitchers if
money ran buy them, and that Is about as
far as aDy 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 show up with about the same gang
as last summer, barring Parke, the Umpire
Eater. Tommy Delebanty la to be bosj
of the bear pit this season, and if ta. sticks
to his showing of last year, Omaha will
have Just about the same sort of record
with Denver. No trouble to br-it the
Grizzlies In Omaha, but Impossible to touch
them at Denver. Here's offering a big
red apple against a doughnut that Pop
Eyler doesn't win every garao he pitches
against Omaha, this year. St. Joe Is to be
ha nfl led by young Mr. Rohe, the false alarm
who cavorted around third bass for the
Joslea last year. That Is going to be a
bad place for umpires, too, for, If memory
serves, correctly, Mr. Rohe's chief clnira to
distinction arises from his capiclty as a
"kicker." At Des 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 still hope to see
Charley land first. Frank Shugart, who
will start under the banner of Big Bill Wil
son, over at Pee-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 tho pennant. With
these veteran managers at the head, at
least four of the Western league teams will
be equipped to put up first-class ball. Just
what Bill 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 standing in the list ot base ball Im
pressarlos. One of the cheering announcements of
the week was that Joe Cantlllon had de
cided to talk no more. Eever since 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 he Intended to do. He began by
signing all the atars ot the California
league, and not one of them has reported
at Milwaukee. Then he signed a lot. ot
eastern stars and none of them have
showed up to draw' pay . -checks with fha
Havanor name at the bottom So It looks
aa If Joe would have to start the racehi
the Hlckey leagu. wlta v ratter ordinary
bunch ot 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 as he did laat. One big point
In hla favor Is that A. W. Fteese has been
removed from the position ot base ball ed
itor of the Sentinel and this will Insure tho
Western league at least an even break In
the newa columna of the leading' Milwaukee
paper This will help a great deal, tor last
season the Western had to stand tor a lot
ef unreasonable battering in the columns
ot the Sentinel,
In big league circles the gossip has been
mainly over the probability of - Barney
Dreyfuss and his syndicate buying out the
Freedman-Brush combination In New-York.
Something like this may be necessary,, tor
Brush doesn't aeem to be at all Inclined to
( llv up to the letter of the Cincinnati peace
) agreement, not to speak ot Its spirit. Ban
Johnson has secured bis grounds In New
York City and has a big forcn of men at
work getting the Held ready to play ball.
When don he will have the finest base ball
plant In the world. The Freedmanltes have
thrown every possible obstacle into his'
way, and these ar not a few, for Freed
man la a power in New York, but Johnson
saya he isn't worried now that he has the
.lease signed up and IS willing to take his
, I chances on having streets opened through
hla park next summer.
Another little ripple la shown by tha be
havior of George Davis and Ed Delehanty.
Davis Insists that he Is going to play with
Muggby McGraw's outfit and brlebanty says
he will play with Griffith's Uhm or not at
all. And both of thorn Insist that they will
collect the big salaries they were offered,
play or no play. Harry I'ulllam and Ban
Johnson have told this pair that they wtll
play where they were assigned by the pease
conference that . Is, Davis with Comlskey
and Delehanty with Toai Uottus or they'll
do no playing and wtll draw no pay. This
situation is going to lead to another de
elsloa on base ball players' contracts and
the probabilities are that It will be In
favor of the magnates and against the
rubber legs.
President Hlckey gave out his staff of
umpires for the season laat week. The
chief point in favor of them seems to ta
that no one knows them. Denver gives
them enthusiastic endorsement, but just
wait till the Denver tesm loses a game on
the home grounds.'
The failure of the Hlckey-Sexton errand
t the Pacific coast has been discounted
and no one seem sto care to talk about It.
It Is admitted out there that one side or
the other will go broke on railroad fares
early In the season, and everybody appears
willing to wait and see.
Another one, and a humdinger, according
to all ef tha talk ot those who think they
know. Is this new slab contortionist Papa
Bill baa picked for a trial .rip with the
toys. Aa a real vender of civ fes with all
Sale Ten Million Boxes a Year.

AMCNG THE BUSY AMATEURS
Omaha fa to Sea In won ted Activity
on Tart of the Ball Player
This eaon.
' The gentle breezes of a fe springlike
days have started the base ball fever e-go-lng
in the hrrts ot the students and col
legians In Omaha. Preparations made
I earlier for the season bore fruit with the
first of the spring days and the High
school lads, the Crelghton college boys and
those of the Omaha Medics and the School
for the Deaf were cut trying their mettle.
With the exception of the boys at Orelgh
ton this outdoor work was the first that
has been done for the season. The Crelgh
ton boys have hud the use of their cage and
have profited by It Immensely and are way (
nnead or me otners in preparation.
At the High school they are working on
dope mostly as yet, aa there are a good
many new men who aro 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 season,
for that tesm didn't make good, al
though It did get more than halt of the
games It played. The team has been placed
under the management ot Miles Greenleaf,
who will Incidentally do a few of the
twirling stunts. The outlook for the man
agement la very good, as the team will
havo no expenses which cannot be met at
tho beginning, with the exception of the
suits, and these will be furnished by the
athletic association. Claude Robertson of
last year's team is captain and will play
on the Initial bag without a doubt. Besides
Greenleat 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 sesaon. At third "Spike"
Kennard, -one ot the fastest kid players In
the city, will put up his sign, while a large
number ara out after second and shortstop.
Among the most promising ot the candi
dates for these places are Yoder, Devalon
and Kroh, with a place almost certain for
Yoder. He is only a freshman, but plays
good, heady ball and Is pretty good with
the stick. Where the real trouble lies In
getting a team is in the gardens, where
there are no good men showing up. it is
hoped that with a few days' outdoor prac
tice there will be a showing of some men
for these' positions. The season " for ' the
teams' opens with a game, with the Field
club second teaman. April If While the.
scbequle "-will hot be completed for. soma
flays, It Is certain that it will include games
with Lincoln, 81oux City, Des' Hpln.es,
Bellevue, Crelghton, Lemars, Tabor an the
second University of Nebraska teams. Cot
ner may be played on April 23 at Omaha.
The School for the Deaf closed Its basket
ball season three weeks ago and elected
P. E. Seely manager of tha base ball team
for thla year. Suiti' 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
have, been scheduled, but the manager ia
trying to flll dates still for April 4, May 2,
9, 16 and June 6.
A fe weeks ago' the base ball magnates
of the Field club held their ante-season
meeting and elected officers for the team.
Will Tlppery was mado manager for both
teams, Harry Knox captain of the first
team and Gall Martin captain of tha sec
ood. The season will commence on April
il. the Omaha Field club playing Crelghton
college. The grounds this year, under the
superb rare of Groundkeeper Gibson, will
be, aa before, tha best and fastest in the
state Besides this a large and capacious
grandstand Is being erected for the con
venienca ot tha spectators, and it Is sate
to say that there is not a mora complete
bass ,ball grounds In Nebraska than belongs
to the Field club.' The first team thia year
wll be composed chiefly of the pick of the
young bloods of last year's team, strength
ened by the addition of many local stars
who have Joined the club. . There Is no
doubt that the Omuha 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 ot
Nebraska In the middle ot April. The
second team, under the leadership of Gail
Martin, will probably give tbe first team
a good rub for honors. It Is composed of
tho younger members of tba club and will
play an Interesting schedule with teams
ot about the High school caliber. Their
first game will be with the Omaha High
school on April 11. Manager Tlppery
hereby Issues a wide-open challenge to the
world for base ball games and wishes all
communications addressed to him, care ef
the Aetna Insurance company, New York
Life building. Omaha.
Omaha will have between twenty and
thirty other amateur and semi-amateur
teams on the diamond this summer and
many of them promise to put up an ex
cellent article of ball. The Field club is
planning to put one of tha best team
It has ever had on the field and tbe Orig
inals are planning- to play -with all of
their old players that they have had for
the laat five years and then some. Beside
this there are the Red Celts, C. N. Diets
team, tha wholesale grocers, the retail
clerks and many other orgsnttatlons tbst
are buying uniforms aud ftmlog ready for
the fray, ao that Omaha will always have
a game going on somewhere.

ATHLETICS AT THE UNIVERSITY
Base Ball and Track Event Oceapy
the Attention o the Maaea
lar Student. .
Devotees of the national game were given
an opportunity to sea the drat large prac
tice last Tuesday at the University of Ne
braska. Eddie Gordon had the gang at
work on the Hold then, about forty strong.
The weather made things a little' slow last
week and some unpleasant things were salJ
in the locker room Thursday about tba
Weather bureau. The date which was
open. May 7, has been taken by Lombard
university or Galesburg, 111. This will
make two games at that city, the other be
ing with Knox college on May 6. Laat yea"
the men were out two weeks earlier than
this. Nevertheless inside practice) has been
more effective than formerly and thla will
In a measure offset tbe tardiness of begin
ning outdoor work this year. Last Tues
day, from 2 to B o'clock, tha old .gridiron
presented a busy scene. Tha battery candi
dates were given a chance to show what
they could do and the fielders wero kept
ort the Jump for flies. Batting was prac
ticed and Coach Gordon expressed himself
as very much encouraged by the skill with
which 'setae'
t)f the nr men "wielded the
ciub. Wednesday afternoon the.men were
out in forre again. In point of the number
of old university men, tbe team will not be
strong. There were but three men who had
made the team before on the Bold at first
practice. The strength of the team Is not
to bo judged by this alone. Tbe new ma
terlal is not so green as it might be. Most
of the candidates have played before on the
second team or high school teams, or some
other. The new men showed up very well
last Wednesday and showed tbe effects ot
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 tho first
and. Bccond 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 last 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 first.
For second base no one has shown up to
declares his Intentions aa yet and perhaps
Captain Townsend will occupy thla place
if he is not used In the pitcher's box. For
the position of shortstop Johnson, formerly
ot the Fremont team, and teen are putting
In some pretty good licks. RamBey Is also
sh3wing 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:" Tbore Is
good crowd of outfielders. . Jim Bell, Shlmer
or Gore would do welt in -any of ' the field
positions, and Johnson Huffman and Moore
have showed ud well also. Th results .of
Coach Gordon's'; work are. quite apparent
He has brlghtfned- prospect, for winning
Meant considerably. He feels confident of
a successful seftson and Imparts confidence
in the men under him.
Manager Bell now has the final acheduto
made out. Nebraska will this year meet
twenty-six teams 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 tbe Omaha league team on
April 13-14. The- trip which has been
planned will go through five Bfates. Iowa,
Illllnols, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas.
The trip wilt consume fifteen days. Twelve
men will be taken, viz., the team, two subs
and the manager. Practice games on ,the
home grounds will be played with the
fa.-mers' and merchants' team of Lincoln,
Doane college. Young Men's Christian as
sociation, Wesleyan university and the Lin
coln High school. The field is being put
In shape, as the bleachers which were
erected for foot ball would bo in tbe way.
The fence about -the field has been removed
and the ground will be put ia its best shape
possible.
The boys who wish to enter tor place
on the track team have registered and
forty names have been handed In. The few
uays of fair weather wero utilized for out
door practice, and the prospect tor a win
ning track team is gratifying. Most of
last year'a men are back in. tbeir placea,
and there are a number cf valuable ac
quisitions from the cra-k team of the Lin
coln High school of last year. Benedict,
though a freshman In school, is a phenom.
on the athletic field. He will do the pole
vault stunt. Johnson, the colored boy,
and Lehman sre also out. Captain Toblu
of the track team will work with the shot
and hammer, as will also Barge, Graves,
Hinkle and Martin. With so competent a
trainer as Dr. Clapp, there seems to be no
reason why Nebraska should not carry off
Its share of the honors.' If the team does
not meet with success it will certainly not
be the fault of the coacher or captain, as
they are doing everything they can to
bring . track athletics up to as high a
standard ss foot ball. The schedule for the
track team bis not been completed yet.
Manager Walters stated Friday that meets
with South Dakota at Sioux City, with
Kansas university at Lawrence and the
state meet at Crete have been cinched.
Several other deals are In the air, but in
any event, the trip will be well worth
white for tho men to try for. The Sioux
City meet will ba 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 Monday. Members of the basket
ball team were given jerseys bearing the
"N" In recognition of the good work they
dtd In the past season. ' The second base
ball team was given the prlvtllge to use
the field on three school days to make
Friday games posalblle. The new sup
plies for the base ball team have arrived
and a good supply of balls and bats are on
hand. Tba team is uow well equipped
and Is confident of doing good work when
it is turned loose.
HIGH SCHOOL STARS CONTEST
l ! Prepare tor Anaaal ( vasctl.
. tloa aaJ for ( laslns; Basket
Kail Op.
Tbe classes of tba b.igb school art busy
preparing themselves tor tba contest tbat
they ara to hava neat Friday evening at
Germaula ball. In connection with tbi
rlsss contests which ara multifold In form
there will be a basket ball contest between
the first team of tha high arbool and that
of Sioux City High school.
More interest centers around this game
than tbe other coutestt, rs It is the lasi
one of the year and Sioux City already
haa a closely played anc to its credit. The
lineup cf tha two teams will be Identics!
with that of the previous game aud th;
home team feels that It has the best of
chances to win with It. They have at
least the advantage cf their own court an I
tho presence of the home rooters, which
they did not have In the other game.
Tha basket ball team was unfortunate
this year In being composed of new men
entirely with the exception of Captain
Cherrlngton, and so they have gone dovui
lo defeat In their three principal games,
two with Lincoln and" one with Sioux City.
Despite this hard luck, the boys have
stayed together and held the confidence
of the school, and, with all of them 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 events are the high dive.
the hand walk anil wrestling contests. For
each of these contests . first place counts
five points, second plaee, three points, and
third place, one point. In the team con
tests the senior and Junior classes will
meet and the sophomore and freshman, tbe
winners to contest for first place, which
counts five points. In the preliminary con
tests first place will count three poluts.
The candidates for the Individual con
tests are about selected and the different
classes will be represented as follows, with
perhaps a few slight changes:
Seniors Much Wallaee. captain: Ernest
Kelly, hand walk; Albert Pjilrbrother, high
dive: Roy fathers, wrestling- match.
Juniors R. C- Hunter, captain: Harry
Coachman, hand. walk; H. O. Coiinsman,
high dive; Holland Shields wrestling
match. - -
Bopohomores Clnronco Walsh, captain:
Dick Patterson, hand walk; Robert rlwltx

match.
Freshman Frank Tomsett, captain: Cy
rus Bowman, hand walk and wrestling
match; Frank Tomsett, high dive.
HUNTERS AFTER WATER F0W1
IIIrIi Water Prevents Bi Units, bnt
the Birds. Are Here In .
Unite Flocks.
All week long the hunters have been
slipping away from tholr homes and wives
on the excuse that they 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 tbe ducks they killed
and ate' and of those that fell out of the
reach of ttielr 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 shma that they couldn't hit them
when they had the opportunity, but the
rivers are too high' and only a few of the
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 cub-,
sided somewhat, the bags that the sports
men wtll bring buck will be marvelous, tor
all of the early reports of ducks and geese
a-plenty on Nebraska streams wero not
overrated, according to .all of the Omaha
men who have been out after them. With
the lakes open and the livers low, they will
not be difficult to get. at, and several hun
dred local hunters are preparing for out
ings. of a week or ten days out on the weet--
ern ranches 'of the Platte, . the Loup and
the Elkhorn and up In 'the sand hills. .
Omaha sportsmen are "not the 'only ' ones
that are expecting to do some hunting this
spring, either. One local wholesale house
that sells most of Its goods to state people '
has sold two carloads' of ' shells for spring (
and would like to have more to sell. They !
don't, have a. decoy duck in the house and
declare that a folding d.ecby can't, be houghL,
In Omaha from a single1 dealer.' '1 think," ,
one ot the' firm' said, "(hat there must ho1 j
more decoys than ducks on Nebraska :
streams and lakes. But I know that isn't 1
true, for I was out three days last week
and saw lota of ducks,-but only got close
enough to five to shoot them."
..-The Geneva Gun club will give an open
tournament and trap shoot at Geneva on
March 25 and 26 and a party ot Omaha men,
among whom are W. B. Townsend, Charles
A- Lewis and Henry McDonald, are pre
paring to be 11 attendance for the purpose
of carrying away a few of tbe honors.

A Thorough Cleansing of the System
Now is the Surest Protection Against
Spring and Summer Sickness.
No good house keeper ever neglects Spring cleaning.
With plenty of soap and water, hard scrubbing and scour
ing, sunlight and air, she soou get3 rid of all rubbish,
musty odor 3, 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 suesii" health and com
fort. But when the house has been piu in order, and the
premises cleared of all old plunder ad. trash, the great majority of house keepers feel th&t
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 aud sleeplessness from
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 clean system docs.
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 wintei 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 ont
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 system,
the rubbish and disease-producing poisons are washed out, and the congested channels anc
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 healthy,
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. S. is a blood purifier and tonic
combined, a", perfect Spring medicine and indispensable in Pli3'sical house cleaning.
Write us fully and freely about your case and our pb-sicians will advise without charge.
