Rah for the knocker!
Ha got on scalp last week, and It he
can only keep up hi present (alt he'll vet
another. Ace Stewart couldn't stand (or
the deal he waa handed by the Home
Roaster club and la now wearing a Peoria
uniform. In losing- Stewart Omaha parted
with one of the finest ball play era that ever
wore a uniform. He waa a capable fielder,
a fair hitter and a general of the highest
ability. But above all, he waa a gentle
man on the field and off; he knew hla au
thority aa field captain and he knew hla
rights, and Insisted on having them, but he
was never known to stoop to wrangling or
unseemly debate to secure fair treatment
for his team. What he lacked In "aggres
siveness," as some of the fighters call their
rowdy tactics, he made up In firmness. His
career in Omaha waa a distinct success,
and hla going a matter for sincere regret
He leaves her with the good wishes of a
large-body of base ball patrons, who will
remember him as a careful, courteous,
painstaking ball player and on Who Is a
credit to any team.
But It Isn't only the knockers who ar
worried over the condition of the Omaha
team. Even the most faithful of the boost
ers ars talking lust now about the games,
and wondering If there Is going to be any
change. No one tries to locate the diffi
culty, but a spirit of apathy seems to have
settled down on the members of the team,
and not one of them Is playing the ball he
la capable of. Some hard luck exists In
having both Hlckey and Oondlng oat of the
game thus early with badly Injured arms.
but that doesn't account for It an. Take
Wright for example. Last fall ha came to
Omaha from Rock Island, and fairly set
the league on fire with hla playing. He
batted .I7 and fielded away above W per
cent. During th last week he hasn't made
a hit and has made an error In every
game; his errors are not all of commission,
either, the most glaring and costly being
those of omission. His work has been far
from the snappy sort he la capable of.
Wright la not th only offender In this di
rection, but Is referred to merely aa an
example. Bobby Carter la setting a fine
pace for the others at the bat, having 'an
average of .143 for the aeason. None of his
team mates approaches this, save Shugart,
who has only been with Omaha since
Wednesday. If the others would only put
some of his spice into their work the tale
would be much different. It la hardly
necessary to look farther for the cause. A
tatting average for the team of .MS, a frac
tion of one hit out of every five times up,
Is In itself a volume. If the record of Car
ter and Bhugart Is omitted from the total,
the team bating average so far la .107. If
anything more la wanted, th following
tablea will supply It:

la th big I gnes there Is a very pretty
rao Just now. Th National has revived
memories of "H, when New Tork and Chi
oago fought an tn way around th eours
for th lead. McQrew's team still has th
advantage of playing on Its bom grounds,
while Sole has played a majority of hla
contests on other diamonds than Chicago's.
If th Colts get aa eren break .with th
Olanta during th series which begins to
morrow on th Polo grounds, CMoago will
return for a long horn series well In the
lead of the league. One during th week
th Colts had th top place and for th
first time In history two Chicago teams
were heading the processions. A post
poned game at Boston put New Tork back
In first, but H'a only an eyelash hold Mo-
Grew has on the position. Both teams ar
playing magnificent ball and hare th
others well strung out Comlskey has taken
his Whit Stockings to th front and la
making th rac In th American a hot one.
Detroit la still hustling and so Is Cleve
land, but Chicago holds on to th top posi
tion. Comlskey has had the advantage
of a long home series. His team must now
take the road, and It may take a tumble,
too. Clark Griffith hasn't accomplished
any great things as yet with his New
Tork Americans and doesn't seem at all
likely to. So far as popularity goes, the
Gotham fans take to the McGraw crowd
and the patronage Is something to make
Andy Goose Freedman's pockets bulge.
In Chicago, too, th leaning la toward the

good, and the prospects are that Colonel
Hart will have to enlarge his park or
arrange to play to overflow crowd wbea

with Knox. Tobin sent the hammer flying
through the air, and It didn't hit bottom
until It had gone 12 feet 7 Inches. Ex-
Captain Brew, who wed to lead the Ne
braakans on th foot ball field, had a
record when he waa In school of 117 feet
In the mile run Lehmer won with States
a close second. The Knox man was lost
In th shuffle. Wilson of Knox won the
100-yard dash. Manning of Nebraska won
th 230-yard dash, aa well as 440-yard dash.
Benedict won th half mile. The sensation
ot the day waa the half-mile relay race,
which started with four men on each side.
Th bunch kept well together until th
last lap, when Manning and Wilson took
th lead, and then It was a neck-and-neck
race. The two men were th best athletes
of their respectlv schools, and when Man
ning crossed th tap a good margin
ahead, the Nebraska rooters cut loose and
cheered him to the echo. Th Knox team
depended principally upon Wilson to win
points for them, and he certainly showed
himself a good athlete. Thia victory over
Knox I the first big thing the Nebraska
track team over accomplished. In other
eonegee more attention Is paid to track
work than by Nebraska heretofore, but
things look good for a better status of thia
class of sport In the future. Benjamin Lee,
an alumnue of Chicago university, and who
has been connected with college athletics

said: "In Chicago university, people will
cut out a baa ball gam any day to see a

characters as foot ball heroes, and training

for track athletics at Nebraska at some
not far distant time.

Papa Bill Rourke says he Is doing all he
can to get new tnan and that h proposes
to strengthen th team It possible. What
he Is In need of Just now is a couple of
pitchers who can be relied on and a third
baseman who can hit a little and field
with some certainty. Then get the rest
of th team geared up to the pitch of last
season, and th outlook will be much
brighter. Every patron of the game In
Omaha feels confidence In the ability of
the team to play ball, and every man who
has any Interest In the game wants to see
this confidence redeemed. Knockers have
always existed here, -and the best answer
to the knockers Is to win games. Just a
little ginger In the right place Is all that
Is needed.
In other respects the league rac shows
little change. Old Bill Everitt and his
Money Burners still Jog merrily along, pil

That trip th Cornhusker aggregation
took waan't quite aa much of a howling
success as some had reason t expect It
seems that the boys were up against some
hard lack, at times, good and plenty.
Financially th trip waa a success. Man
ager Clark Bell says the athletic board
will be a neat sum ahead on the base ball
deal at the 'end of the season. This Is cer
tainly fortunate. It has been said by
persons closely connected with the athletic
board that had this year's base ball venture
been a failure It waa highly Improbable
that th Cornhusker would have been rep
resented on th diamond next year, or If
they had had a team no such trip would be
taken. As far as finance la concerned th
base ball future Is bright enough. About

played on th trip and of these Nebraska

the fact must not be lost sight of that of

Captain Townsend In reviewing the pros

practically the same next year aa It la this
year. We may reasonably expect that the
men who ar comparatively green this year
will be reliable material next year. The
great failing on our team this season has
been poor sticking, though on the whole
th team put up a pretty warm variety of

Every day goes to prov that the revival
In tennis of last year will continue and in

has taken It up so strongly already that
It has outclassed golf In popularity and will
continue to do so for at least another
year.
Everything that lent Itself last summer
to tbe Increase in popularity of the game
will be evident this year and these same

members things ar certainly bright
-rmCTieaiiy an or the men, who were
among th better players last year, have
already appeared on the courts and many
new players and many more with a little
experience are swelling the numbers. A
few of th strong players of the Field club
hav not yet donned their flannels and be
gun In earnest, but they have been kept
back solely because of the poorness of the
court a
Last year these courts were the best
In the city and they will be so this year
agajn, but many changes and repairs have
been wrought on them and It has not been
possible to get them Into really good
shape before now, because of the extensive
ness of these repairs and the wet weather
that has prevailed for the last few weeks.
Many of the men who play on these
courts ar members of other tennis clubs
and do not Intend to do their really hard
practice on thi Field club courts, but will
us th more private courts closer home.
Some are not situated this way and they
must suffer from the lack of early practice.
Fortunately this number Is small, however,
and but few have suffered thereby.
This year the interstate tournament, com
prising Iowa, Kansas. Missouri and Ne
braska, will be held on these courts and
practically all of those who entered lost
summer will try this year again. Beside
that an attempt Is being made by the tour
nament committee to have Collins and
Waldner enter. They play about as fast
In the doubles as any team In the country
ana ineir coming would certainly be a
great boon for the sport In Omaha. It Is
more than probable that the dates of the
tournament will have to be set a little
earlier if they do come, as otherwise It
would Interfere with several other tour
naments that they would enter tn preference
to thia one. Kansas City, Sioux City and
other towns will send aa large a represen
tation as they did last year, and, of course,
Farnsworth and Raymond will be In the
lists.
Locally there will be a large number of
players familiar to the Omaha lovers of
th sport because of their last years play
and more, too, who have not figured In any
of th city tournaments, even, and will be
practically unknown and untried.
Last year the Field club was looked upon
aa the center of th tennis situation and all
of the good players were centered there.
but a change has come In the situation this
year and there are other players who are
promising to be in the race who are not
represented on th Field club courts. The
courts to the west of the Metropolitan club
and used by the St. Croix Tennis club Is
where they are working busily every day
and hare several men who are perfecting a
style of play that Is remarkable. - There are
forty members In the elub and they are
mostly young men and many who have
played before. Their courts are as fine as
were ever on these grounds In their palm

Every evening the courts are filled from I
o'clock until dusk.
An attempt Is to be made by the St.

played In the Interstate tournament last
summer and made an enviable record and

men and the training that they get hero
will make them work further Into the game
and th'elr graduation from these courts
will be only to a faster set of courts and
Into company that will make them players
of the first class. Anyhow the Interest
created here is well worth the courts with
out thinking of the pleasure and recreation
that they also give to many young men,
who are working many hours daily over
desks and Indoors and who need the light,

luckier brothers, who become mere pro

TRI-CITY LEAGUE AFFAIRS
Two Teams Dropped aad Schedule
to De Worked Over for
Foil Clubs.
After having arranged for a membership
of six teams in th Trl-Clty Base Ball
league a change has been effected whereby
the membership Is reduced to four. The
Regents and the C. N. Diets teams did not
como up entirely to the requirements of
the league, and so were dropped, leaving
the Lee-Glass-Andreesen Originals, the
Council Bluffs Eagles, the B. Jetters of
South Omaha and the Crescents as the
members of the league. These four teams
have all been together for five years or
more, and during all of which time they
have been among the strongest of any of
the local amateur nines and promise to be
even stronger this season than they have
ever been before.
This change In the makeup of the league
has made ft necessary to revise the sched
ule, and the managers tof the teams are
now working on that and will have It pre
pared by Monday night. The season will
open, aa originally piannea iur, uu uuo ,
and play on Saturdays and Sundays and
holidays from then until the first Sunday
In October. This will make a very full
schedule and will give the different teams
a great opportunity to test their goodness
and should make the race for the pennant
very exciting.
The original Intention of placing the
Crescents In Florence and of playing a por
tion of the games there has been abandoned
aa the people of Florence decided that any
team that should bear the town name and
receive the town patronage should be com
posed of local players, snd so the idea
was dropped. Florence Is too rnall a town
to put a first-class team of local talent in
the game that could make It Interesting
for the others in the lague, snd so the
league refused the proposition inconii
nently. They say that only teams that
can play ball are to be allowed member
ship, and that the games will be of the
first order or not st all.
The games are to be played on the
grounds at Lake Manawa, Vinton Street
park and pn the B. Jetters neia at Twenty,
eighth and W streets, In South Omaha,
While the Manawa and Vinton street
grounds are used regularly by the Western
league and Buck Keith s league, the games
will be played on thera at times when the
league teams are playing away from home
There Is also a strong probability that some
I of the games will be played at Courtland
Beach. The grounds there are not particu
larly good, but an attempt will be made to
put them In shape for playing and, if It
succeeds, some of the games will undoubt
edly be played there.
The umpires for the season have been
selected and they promise to be both fair
and gcod and should add greatly to the
I yalu at tb games. Wood Hartley and

Crawford, a resident of New Ro-
chelle, N. Y., boarded a train for New York
and took a seat in the rear car. He was
ordered by a brakeman to take the car
ahead, but as the door was open when he
entered he refused tp move. The brakeman
tried to eject him, but was stopped by the
conductor. Mr. Crawford complained to
the company, but got no satisfaction. Then
he sued for damages and has Just compro
mised for $500.

Mo., has filed suit against her for divorce.
In his petition Enders states that he has

to him after each of the other twenty-two
desertions and that "patience has at last
ceesed to be a virtue." He sets up that he
has been long suffering and kind, but that

At La Plata, Mo., the other day Cole
Younger did something original, especially
for a showman and an ex-bandit. A patron
of his wild west show told Younger that he
had been short changed out of 16 by an em
ploye of the show. He pointed out the man
and Younger went to the employe and said:
"Give this man his money back." "What
money?" asked the man. feigning surprise.
"Did you hear met" returned Cole. "Give
this man hla money." The employe com
menced to explain. "I don't want any
planatlon," said his employer; "pass that
money over and pass It over quick." The
money was handed over and the dishonest
employe discharged then and there. Frank
James, who stood by, approved the action
of his partner.
After having spent $10,000 In search of his
boy and having passed fully twenty times
within the shadow of the little tin shop in
which he stood tinkering away for nearly
two years, Martin Walls of York, Pa., Is
overjoyed because his son George waa
found. George left Spring Grove on Octo
ber 21, 1901. He says he was drugged by
companions and he remained In a dased
condition for a week. He traveled as far
as Rlverton and went to work for Jacob
Hunkle. He say he did not know his
father was looking for him until he read an
advertisement In a country newspaper.

Judge of Minneapolis, a master steamfltter,
successful contractor and mechanical In1
ventor of pronounced ability. He has been
totally sightless for forty years and never
saw a base ball game In hla life, but he
never allows business to interfere when he
wishes to "see" a contest on the diamond.
Mr. Judge is always accompanied by some
one who tells him of the various plays
and he yells as loudly ss anybody, even
shouting "down In front" when someone
obstructs the view of those who can se.
He is an Inveterate smoker, too, thus dis
proving the oft-heard statement that one
must sea the smoke In order to enjoy a
cigar.
With one parting look at the locomotive
he had run for so many years Jackson
Adams of Pittsburg. Pa., probably the old
est engineer on the West Pennsylvania
road, dropped dead this afternoon. Adams
had been on the rsilroad for thirty years,
first as a fireman and then as an engineer.
He did not work today, but love for hla
old engine could not keep him from the
roundhouse. He visited the place this aft-
ernoon and was standing looking admir
ingly at his engine when he suddenly reeled J
forward on uis face. When picked up It i
was found that he waa dead. Heart disease j
Is suppose to have caused hla death.
