Charley Nichols says be Intends to have a pennant winning bunch thla season, and the new St. Joe owners also glre It out that If money can get the players they will have the team. And thla la about where the matter stands. Papa Bill wants the big league fellows to how cause. That Is he wants tht players or tht money. Boston hasn't put up the draft money for Stone, and Chicago has failed to make good on the grab that took Owen away. Either of these players would bt welcome to the Omaha fold just at present, and Owen would be a prize In deed ln tbe present pinch.- Rourkt sent word to ths delinquent teams last week that he wanted his men or his money, and hinted that he would prefer the men. It Is hsrdly hoped that Comlskey will let Owen go, for be knows what Prank can do, and his White Stockings need good pitchers as much as any team In tht country. Ouy Oreen is getting ready to take his Indian team on the road again. . . Oreen has 'toured the United States for tbe last live seasons with his red men, not only winning a high standing as a baae ball manager, but getting material for an Inter esuVg little, book, In which he gives the expArtences of himself and men In the va rious towns where they have played. That the life of a manager of an lndependV team, "barnstorming" through the United States, is not one of unmixed delight. Is asy to believe after reading a few of Green's chapters. .Tht way ho hands out roasta to some of the managers he has met Is proof that ha hss the courage of his convictions, and that the man who gets much the better of him In a settlement Is welcome to all he gains. 1 resident Sexton has tent out his In ' slructlons to umpires, and it the language he uses is any Indication of his Intention, Western league patrons will see very little rowdy ball' during the season. Last year Mr. Sexton established himself as a strict and Impartial disciplinarian, and his de termination to stick to that record Is quite vldent from the following:' Gentlemen: In entering upon your duties I denlre to have you understand that you will be expected to rigidly and impartially enforce the rules of the game; at all times Conduct yourselves in a gentlemanly and honorable manner; abstain from free In dulgence In Intoxicants, and refrain from getting on familiar terms with the players either on or off the diamond. So long as you comply with these instructions and dis play ability to umpire successfully your position will be secure, despite the ordinary complaints of managers, captains or play ers; otherwise, your connection with tho league will terminate at once. You are vested with extraordinary 'pow ers, and can order any manager, captain or player to do, or omit to do, any act that you may deem necessary to give force and effect to the rules of the game. Be careful and conservative in the exercise of your authority, and try to command the respect and esteem of players and patrons alike. Under no circumstances will an umpire engage In an argument or dispute with any player over a decision. Peal severely with players who persist In nagging and fault finding with your work. You are not ex pected to submit to Insulting remarks from players Just before the game is called, or just after Its close, and you have the same power to punish such offenses as you have during the progress of a game. Positively no vile or profane language will be tolerated, and failure on the part of any umpire to punish Instances of this nature will be severely rebuked. In punishing offenders for violations of the. rules, a fine of 15 must be imposed for the first offense, to be followed by the , removal of the offender from the game or I grouihrt, at the discretion of the umpire Coffmpet players of each club to retain thellr seats on the players' bench, except be sent to the couching lines, or called to hrt by the umpire and under no cir cumstances permit any person to sit on the fr" " 1 o " 111 v 1 . .

"Nick" Carter bat been prac ticing up hit old stunt of beating a bunt out to first, and he Is almost letter perfect on It. It Is a joy to see him work It. For a few days he seemed to be tbt only man who could get a hit, but tht last of ths week just gone by tbe rest of tht old "uns" got to work and began to get their weather rye out for tbe ball until they are a champion lot of hitters. Not that they will bit much harder than they did last year, but that they can hit when It Is necessary and that Is tbt tlmt to get to work. At for fielding, they are getting onto that, too, and they are playing a fatt, beady game, that looks good and like a winner for tht season. "Cap" Stewart has been out of the game for a few days, but wss In It Saturday just as chipper as ever and playing his old game at second. Hickey's arm has been decidedly bsd, but he Is getting better every day and be will be as fit as.jt race horse by the time tht boys open up out In the bearplt. Patterson has been In Hickey's place and la showing up like an old band as the days go by, although he still seems to suffer slightly from stage fright. As for the slab artists, there are tour that tbt story seems to have simmered down to and they all look pretty good. Of course, Bruner and Scbafstal are a little ahead of the others, through their headier play and better control that has come with experience In fast company. Henderson, the Council Bluffs boy, who comes from Fort Scott, has been Improving greatly and looks like a stayer. Then with the addi tion of one southpaw, Companion, tht pitching staff is pretty well made up. One mora man Is needed and It may bt that ont of the seven pitchers Seles had with him here would land of. the Omaha team event ually. If not, there will be plenty of other timber - that will fall out of the major leagues in a few days to pick from. After hearing that the season would open one week later than anticipated, Manager Rourkt took it upon himself to add three more games to his befort-the-season schedu'.e. The first one Is a third game with St. Joseph, which Is . to bt played Monday at Lincoln to open tbe new M atreet ball grounds there fittingly. Then for four days the team will work out Its own salvation daily at tht park, and on Saturday and Sunday will stack, up against "Kid" . Nichols' Kansas City bunch, and takt a reef In tbelr topsails.

LIVELY TEAM OF YOUNGSTERS I'nloa Stock Yards Jaalora Cornea to tho Froot for Its Season's Work. With the coming of spring and warm weather the lovers of base ball down In South Omaha are taking an Interest In the sport that has not been known for a long time. One thing Is surt. South Omaha will have at least one good ball ,club, tho Union Stock Yarda Juniors. This band of young men,-under the managemtat of H. R. Ellis, hss certainly awakened a great in terest In tbe national gamo among tbt South Omaha citizens since its organiza tion. The club is just entering upon its third year and indications point to aa suc cessful a season aa tht prtvloua onas. . Tht year 1902 shows a record of tblrty-slx victories out of fifty-one games played, twenty-five of which were played through put tht state, necessitating a mileage of close to 600 miles. The stock yards com pany, commission merchanta and ctliena are proud of the record this team haa made and appreciate tht good it haa dona 8outh Omaha by sending a strong team on these yearly trips. They art contributing liber ally to tbt support of tht club. . Last year, tr bard hustling, tht youngsters raised over S100 to cover tbt txpenst of tbelr three weeks' trip. Thla year the Intentions art to spend two weeks touring western Iowa and two weeks in Nebraaka. Not only will funds be raised to make this trip, but a movement is also on foot to provide 8outh Omaha with a ball grounds, centrally located and suitably fenced. Mr. Ellis is looking around tor grounds and if a least can ha secured South Omaha will see plenty ot good ball with teams from abroad. Just at present all Interest is centered on the opening game, which takes placa at Vinton street park Saturday, May 2, with the Omaha Field club. The Field club team consists largely ot old-tlmo college players, and, generally speaking, they outclass tht yards boys. However, tbt close game ot last year between theat two taams, which resulted In favor of tht Field club, gives tbe yards boys confidence and they promise to at leaat make it Interesting. At this game Mr. Ellis will put on the field one of the prettiest uniformed teams ever seen In these parts. Twelvt new uniforms of royal blue and white have been ordered and will be hero in time for this gams. The man agement Is making ths team stronger than sver this year and Ellis Is keeping his eyes l open lor fast players under 18 years of age, 4 yci-uuunt vi lug ICU1 mv lir piCKeO Is as follows: Pitchers, Frank Qulnn and Benjamin Cherrlngton; catcher, Charles Miller; first base, Walter Hachten; aecond AMATEURS AND THE SUNSHINE Good Weather Bi-lasja Oat Golfers Bad Teaals Men'aad Makes Make aad Cowrta Lively. With sunny skies and gentle breetet bas come a coterie of golfers, who enjoy the game for tbt free air and tbe warm base of spring, as much at for the gams it self, and tbe links at tht Country and Field clubs art scattered over with tht golf dilettantes, clad in the most correct of golfing apparel. The Idlers In the game are not the only ones that art enjoying the goodness of the season. Tbt older ones to whom the game Is something more tbsn a mere pastime art appearing on tht links aa regularly as ever. For them no gray, chilly daya or threatening sklea hold disparagement and make tbe bouse seem preferable to the links. On both links tht entire course la open now, although tbe greens at the Country club will not be played upon for two weeks yet. There the players are using temporary boles on tbt entire course. Wbtlo neither of tbt club houses Is offi cially open, tht social features ot them art growing mors and mora with each ad vancing day. - At the Country club al ready there bas been an attempt to turn Into tbe social rut and a cotillion hss been given by tbe young ladles, which was In many wayi an athletio feature, In that hobbyhorse races, basket ball games and ping-pong, were part of tbt order of tht night. Tennis, too, is having its turn at the hands of tht frequenters of the Field club, and this year bids fair to surpass that of last at a banner one. At tht Field club this Is psrtly due to tht great Im provements that have been made in the courts In regard to drainage, as well as the playing surface. The courts, as im proved, are as fast as any clay courts in tht country and art tbe pride of the club. Tennis Is showing a disposition to push to tbo front as a summer game elsewhere than at the Field club. In and around town new courts, both private and club courts, art being rolled and put' Into con dltlon and the wlelders of the racket, art busy preparing for the summer tourna -ments that must result from this activity. Tht Young Men's Christian association has almost completed its courts at' Nineteenth and Farnam streets, snd within a few days will hsve players on them. These,, courts will have as much toward bridging the game into universal favor as any n town. owing to their proximity to the center of the town. In the morning, at noon and In the evening they are always handy to the man whose office Is near by and the work- era will slip down early In the morning to play a set, or run out at noon for a game or two with a friend, and again on the way home from work at night they will tarry for another round on tht courta. ATHLETICS AMONG SOLDIERS w m ' ' -' 1 Army Meat Tarn to Outdoor Sports and Are Making; Ecellent ,- Headway, Owing to the recent orders of the army with respect to athletics among tbt troops at tht posts In the various departments, the soldiers at Fort Crook are taking an active Interest In most of the branches of field and track work, beside base ball and foot ball. An athletic association has been or ganized ' with a flourishing membership among the enlisted men and the officers. Tht entrance fees and dues art nominal and they have high hopes of building up a name for themselves at Fort Crook that will be an envied one in tht Department of the Missouri. It will bt possible for tht different regiments to compete with each other from tlmt to time and rivalry prom ises to be as keen as that In college sport. although tht rtcords will probably not be as high, owing to tbe lack of practice and preparation by tbe men In the army. abilities and possibilities of ths horse, f There Is a great Joy In moving along In an automobile down the country roada and lanes at a part that makes the much- ridiculed mask a necessity as well aa a mark ot the machine. The smaller ma chines, of which there Is to be no dearth this year, owing to the larger facilities for making these and filling orders, art also coming to tht front snd their number will bt legion this summer. Tht gasoline machine seems to hold tht front rank here. It It a mors aenstbla ma- ehlnt than any of tht others, owing to tht tasa of renewing iti power In tht country or at borne, which the electric machine doet not allow of. The ateam machine haa also fallen Into disfavor here for two reasons. It requires more care In opera tion than either the gasoline or electric and Is more likely to fall Into habits ot breaking down than any ot tbe others. While tht matter of taking tbt first spring run Is still undetermined, a decision as to tbe date for this will bt coma to within a few days and all arrangements made for It. Meanwhile the autos art slipping out onto the country byways and highways and their ownera art taring to outdo old records for speed that they established for themselves last year. On two Saturdays In succession Mr. Frederickson has made the run to Ben nington, a matter of eighteen miles, in forty-five minutes, and that without any attempt to crowd htst machine. The society maids art slipping ont bright and early In tho mornings and secretly prac ticing the maneuvering of tbelr brothers' and fathers' machines, that they may also have an opportunity of holding tht retns when tht auto has displaced ths horse as the proper carriage for moonlight drives.

KELLEY & HEYDEN. 3,9 32iN.i6thSt. While the Twenty-second has always had a hall team, even when In the Philippines this year's team bids fair to rival that of previous yeara because of the added In terest lent it by the rivalry which Is now between the various regimental teams. Frl day they were defeated by the Omaha team by a one-sided score, but they were play ing in hard luck aad' tht score does not represent the true value of the team. Tbe men are still a little green and stiff,, and will take a few more days to round into good shape. Each of the eight companies at tht post has a base ball' team, and from these teams It Is always possible to re crult a number of good men,' ao that tht team la continually changing at this tlmt ot tbe year. Tbe regiment will be- in St. Louis during tht fair dedication ceremony and, during that time, oxpect to meet the bast ball teams from tha Eighth and Six teenth regiments in match games. It may be that thla may he an Impossibility owing to the number of duties that art always liable to fall to a regiment oa such du ties. Definite arrangements have been made for a game on May 2 with the St. Louis Browns, and the soldiers think that they will auceeed better against them than they did against Omaha. There Is a quarter-mile cinder running track on the post grounds and a great deal of Interest ia being manifested in track work, SEASON OF REST FOR HUNTER Closo Tlnaa on Game Birds Cornea Early aad Sends Hint to Hla Rod aad Line. The hunting season, so far as ducks and snips and tht remainder of tbe water fowl and tbe birds that skim along the wet and soggy shores are concerned. Is over, ac cording to the state law, and shotguns ara onco more laid away In the dark and the quiet to wait for fall before they shall appear again to be the boon companion of the man and his dog. Tbe season is still open for doves and their kin, but little Shooting will be dont on their, account. Within two or three weeks those who like to hunt will have turned their endeavors to the pursuits of Iaaao Walton and will spend long days with tbe rod and line on the quiet shores ot the lakes snd streams where the . members ot. the. finny tribe abound. Tbe season gone by bas been In many ways a peculiar one for the hunter. On every aide game has been abundant and, yet, with, tbt exception of a .few weeks of snipe shooting, tbe bags have been light and the hunter's reward scanty. As the days grow long the. Nlmrods will sit In the quiet of the evening and tell ot what a wonderful season It was, but looked at In tbe retrospect of but a few days It has been remarkable only for the lightness of bags and the swarms ot duck that covered the waters of Nebraska streams and lakes, High water has met the hunter on every side and the ducks and geese have lived In perfeot security In the far-away middle ness of the water. Tbe banks were muddy and difficult to find a blind in. On the upper reaches ot the rivers, where the Ice gorges and the high water was not so painfully evident there have been some re markable kills, hut nearer home, and few pf the hunters went far away, the quest haa been long and the return has been light. Last week and' the week preceding the waters bad receded considerably and those who went for snipe only brought back with them a few teal aa well as their allowance of snipe. The ducks and geese, otherwise, were gone to the northward, though, and the subsidence of the waters brought little comfort to the hunter. Ths fourth Grand American Handicap has fallen to a Nebraska man, M. Dlefenderfer ot Wood River. He was a low handicap man, shooting at the clay pigeons from the sixteen-yard line, and he won in sensational finish, taking the last twenty- five tarceta without a miss. Two other Nebraska men were among the list of win ners in tbe shoot at Kansas City. They were W. P. Townsend of Omaha, with 87 targets at eighteen yards, and Dave Linder man of Lincoln, with 85 targets, at nine teen yards. ATHLETICS AT THE UNIVERSITY Victory of tho Base Ball Team Over the Omaha Leasjae-rs Pleases All. Ths tans feel a little better than usual mostly on account ot beating. the Rourkt family. The ' fact that the Omabane do tested the 'varsity on last Tuesday la not commented upon.. Everyone wants to talk about the Monday game. On Monday the Cornhusker .aggregation heat the leaguers by a score ot 4 to 2. The next day the Rourke aggregation, got it back on the 'varsity, and then some. Mr. Rourke's colts plied up. a score of 9 to the university hoys' 2.. This explains why everybody, about the university, hss been talking about how the 'varsity licked the gents from the metropo lis. When asked if there was anything new in the athletio situation. Captain Townsend said: "The newest thing Is the way we beat tbe Omaba league team. That waa ths first time in the history of tbe university that we have been able to make that bl aggregation bite the dust, and we feel en eoursced by It." When asked about the On next Monday tbe men will have i turning of the tables in Tuesday's game, Captain Townsend had nothing to say, ex cept that It was no disgrace to meet de feat at tht hands of so strong an aggrega tton as tbt Rourkt family. tht first track meet.- From then on the meeta will bt held every month. In tbe beginning the events will Include only tbe 100 and 220-yard dasbes, half mile and mile runt and the 100 and 220-yard hurdles, be side obstacle and relay races. Later, it any of tha men develop Into weight throw ers and pole vaultera, these will be added, and eventually tbe meets will Include all ot tha tventt that ara included In inter collegiate track meets. WAITING FOR AUTOMOBILES Haay Omaha People Looking; for Scoot Wagons Ordered Lons Ago. If It wort not for tht fact that tha desire for automoblllng la ao general throughout tbe country Omaha would have today so many ot the machines that one could look nowhere without seeing them. Tbe craze to ride la the horseless vehicles Is growing htrt as elsewhere out of all proportion to tbe facilities of the manufacturers and dealera to furnish them. At present more then a dozen Omaha people are waiting for machines they have ordered, but which they bavt been unable to get as' yet. Many of these automobiles are .of the larger type, too, and It seems that from now on. there will be mors and more of the large, heavy, fast earrlagea. Four of the foremost ot Omaha's horse lovers bars ordered Urge automobiles weighing from one to. two tons and with speeds varying from thirty to forty miles an hour. It Is tha coming of these machines that will make Omaba an autor mobile loving town, for the great seat and sport of auto trips ia the country is tbe ability to go oat for a day's jauat and reach some place - that la beyond the Beltzer filled tht box ia Monday's game, and upheld hit claim to be a rival of tha famous Leatherby of last year's winning tesm. In tbe Tuesday gamo Longanecker pitched a good game until the seventh In mng, when be fell down. Hrubeskl waa then put In and he threw his arm out and was compelled to yield the sphere to Morse, The twtrlers for the Cornhuskers' aggre gatlon for this season will be Beltzer, Morse, Longanecker and Townsend. All these men have proved tbemselvss capabl to make good on tbe base ball field, an (Continued on Tenth Page.) RUPTURE Every Truss Wearer Interested.

No pood house keeper ever neglects Spring cleanine. With plenty of soap and water, hard scrubbing and scour ing:, sunlight and air, she soon gets rid of all rubbish, musty odors, germs and microbes, and the dust and dirt J that have accumulated during the long w inter months, and everything about the place is freshened up aud given an air of newness and neatness that suggests health and com fort. But when the house has been put in order, and the remises cleared of all old plunder and trash, the great majority of house keepers feel that 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 from wnicn tney are sunenng are aue to neglect or tne more important ana necessary work or r nys ical house cleaning. A clean house does not insure against disease, but a clean system does. The poisons and humors engendered within the body, the waste matter that is clogging the system and contaminating and vitiating the blood, are far more dangerous to health than the dirt and dust of our homes. In the winter 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 aud poisons of every conceivable kindj 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 uie Diooa- purgea ana purinea, tne simplest maiaay may aeveiop into some serious aisoraer 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 punned 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 but, aud the congested channels and avenues of the body are opened, ana 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 stubborn, deeply-rooted poisons and humors that are destin ing the purity of the blood and blocking the avenues c': health and life. A course of S. S.
