We are going to have better baa ball In
Omaha. If necessary, we will have acme
new fucea In Omaha uniform and nw
names on the Omaha hatting Hat. Tapa
iilll I'.ouke la awake to the fact that he
Isn't getting the goods, and has made up
hla mind that some of the gang will either
lilny ball or lump In the creek. It lan't
hard for uuyona who has watched the
course of the team this season to deter
mine whi-re the trouble Ilea, and the
manager has made up his mind just what
to do. About six of the star players of the
team have fallen Into the habit of waiting
fur pay day only, and unless they get over
It right soon there won't be no more pay
day for them. We know that these men
can play ball, for they have played ball,
and they'll have to do It again. That's the
word with the bark on It. Papa BUI Is
corresponding with several players, and If
ho succeeds In his plans he will show some
new fnres here very soon anyhow. He Is
Very much out of patience with the show
ing made by the team so far and has made
Up his mind to try a little severity Instead
of hla course of uniform kindness.
After several weeks of confusion and un
certainty the Trl-Olty Base Ball leigue Is
ready for the season with fix teams In
the league. The Ideals of Omaha and the
Joe Bmltha of Council Bluffs are the two
team that ' have oome within the fold
during the last week. Both teams are
quite strong and will make a good run for
the pennant. Because of the difficulty In
getting all of the players together for
Balurday games, the schedule consists of
but twenty games for each team, to be
flayed on Sundays and holidays. The
Crescents will use the ball park at Court
land beach for their home games, the
Ideals and Originals the Vinton street
park, the H. Jetters their new grounds at
Twenty-eighth and W streets, 8outh
Omaha, and the Council Bluffs teams tho
diamond at Luke Manawa. The Vinton
street and Iake Manawa grounds will be
Upod on those dates when the league games
tie not interfere.
or other form of applause. The rule that Is
applicable to the theater Is certainly good
for the ball park, and the umpire ought to
feel that he la getting oft lightly to be
merely hissed. It will be a long time be
fore the patrons of the game refuse to sur
render the privilege of telling the umpire
he Is rotten when they think he Is. It is
all right to curb the rowdy players, but the
man who pays his money to see the game
Is entitled to the privilege of expressing his
feelings, and has as much right to hiss as
he has to cheer. Umpire baiting Is not
nice, and Is not to be commended. In
Omaha It has never been popular, but It Is
asking too much of human nature to ex
pect It not to give vent to expressions of
disgust at some of the decisions we are
occasionally asked to stand for. Any at
tempt to suppress hissing from the stands
will simply serve to keep patrons away
from the park.
Here are the latest statistics of the In
dividual performance of the members of
the Omaha team up to date. An ex
amination of the figures will easily lead
to the location of the trouble:

held. If the weather conditions permit, the
latter part of this week, beginning probably
on Wednesday. Following this there will
be several other tournaments of a Ilk
nature and also open city tournaments In
preparation for the Interstate tournament
to be held in August While this covers
only Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska
there will be a number of outside players
from Chicago, Bt. Paul and Minneapolis
to enter In this. When It was found last
week that Collins and Waldner would prob
ably enter In this lttwas thought that the
tournament could not help but be more
successful than last year and now comes
word that several of the eastern players
from Newport may enter and everyone In
the tennis world la agog with the hope that
the rumor may prove true.
Little playing has been done on other
courts during the week, as the Shrlner and
Country club courts have been too wet to
play on and many of the private courta
were In a like condition.
MANAWA SAILORS ARE ACTIVE
Yacht Club Men Look Forward to a
Season of Sport on
the Lake.
Yesterday the Council BlulTs Rowing as
sociation and the Manawa Yacht club held
a joint opening of the cluo house and the
yachting season at Manawa In all of lit
multitudinous sides. From an athletic sido
the yacht club really dominates the
club and the opening races are a
fit manner In which to open the house for
the summer.
The opening games will be played on
next Sunday, i At Courtland beach the
Crescents and the Joe Smiths will meet,
While there will be a double header In
Fiouth Omaha between the B. Jetters and
tho Ideals and the Originals and Eagles.
The n, Jetters have put a tight seven-foot
lioard fence around their field and new
bleachers and a grandstand with a total
seating capacity of 1,000 people. For the
hpenlnR of the season and the grounds
there will be a parade to the grounds In
the afternoon, led by a brass band and the
four competing teams, and Including the
city officials and prominent business men
of South Omaha.

The chief feature of the week just passed
was the number of Western league games
stopped by the rain. Omaha succeeded In
pulling off three and lost two. Des Moines
had practically a blank. Denver and Colo
rado Springs managed To keep the grounds
dry enough to play their schedules out. In
the American association the games were
also much Interrupted by rain, but this
didn't seem to affect the publlo to any
great extent, for the Hlckey league Isn't
drawing as well this year as It did last.
In the big leagues the race Is going on with
the same rush and the teams about In the
same position. Frank Belee got hlb Colts
Into the lead on Monday, and lost It again
on Tuesday. Second place was good enough
for him to return home In, as he went
away In third. Yesterday morning's game
landed Mm in first again, and the proba
bilities are that he will stay there for a
time, as he has a long aeries scheduled on
the home grounds now, and having taken
tho measure of the other teams in the
league, Chicago ought to easily maintain
its prestige until called on for another tour
at least. The games at New York, with
the exception of the last one, were not such
exhibitions of base ball as had been hoped
for, due to the fact that both teams were
overly-anxious. Chicago made the poorest
showing in the first two, losing both on
errors that would not ordinarily be made.
In the final gam the Colts pulled them
selves tegether, and showed their true
form, playing all around the McGraws.
It's a little early In the season to award
the pennant, but It Isn't too early to say
that the winner will have to settle with
Chicago. This Is true of the American
league as well.

While there are no regular acheduled
games for Saturday, all of the trams of the
league wll! play on Saturdays whenever
possible, on the league grounds, and they
promise two games, at least, for each
Saturday. These games, however, will not
count In the league standing.
Jack Thornton, the big first baseman of
Puffy's team, Is the first Western league
man to get Into disgrace. He drew In
definite suspension tor his performance at
Denver last Sunday. This simply shows
that Sexton ts In earnest In hla determlna
tlon to protect the umpire and punish
rowdyism. An example thus early In the
season wilt have a deterrent effect on oth
era who might be Inclined to take a fall
out of the umpire and will be relished by
the spectators. One move that has been
made In Omaha, however, looka Ilka carry
ing the effort a little too far. At last Sun
day's game a police sergeant stood up In
fiont of the grandrtand and announced
that anyone hissing the umpire would be
thrown from the grounds. At least on de
cision of Umpire Messmer was soundly
hissed, and so far as known no on was
elected, unless It was a small pickaninny,
Last winter a Boston judge decided that a
patron of the theater had a right to ex
press his disapproval of the play or player
by biasing. Just as much as b had
right t express approval by handclapplng
RAIN HAMPERS TENNIS MEN
Delage of the Week Not Only Pre-
Tents Play, bnt Damages the
Courts Materially.
The rains of the last week have not only
hindered the tennis players, but have cut
deep furrows In some of the courts and In
other ways have hurt the courta, so that
several days will have to be spent In re
pairing them. But the week of idleness
has started the players to talking of the
advancement of tennis In the popular mind
this year and there Is a well defined feel
lng that a city tennis association should
be formed. It Is argued by those who are
fostering the sentiment that with half
dozen tennis centers In the city there
should be a central body to arrange for and
undertake the handling of city tourna
ments. Aa it now is, many of tho clubs
Interested in tennis are arranging for
tournaments among the clubs in the city
during the summer months, but there Is
alwaya the possibility of conflicting dates
and arrangements under such circum
stances. With a central body, the tourna
ments could be held every two weeks or
oftener if desirable and all of the clubs In
the city could and would enter. There
would be several cups and plises and the
city tournaments would acquire a character
that would aid materially In the continuing
of the present popularity of the game.
Without a doubt the moat of the tourna
ments would be held on the Field club
and St. Croix courts, as theje courts are
among the best and can accommodate more
people than any others In the city. Both
of these clubs are expecting to hold a num
ber of city tournaments during the sum
mer and the idea of organiilng la strong
with many of their members. It la felt, too
that these tournaments will give the play
ers the practice and understanding that
they should have for the Interstate tourna
ment In August. Each player will have a
clearer Idea of how he compares with the
I other city players, too, and It Is felt by
the older heads that the association should
be started.
The St. Croix club feels happy over tho
ralna, aa lta courts have withstood the
wet well, having suffered scarcely at all
from the rain and having been put In shape
again with little trouble. The courts have
dried remarkably quick, being dry In the
evening after being rained on an entire
night. For this reason some little play
was Indulged In during most of the week
by many of the members, and, on ladles'
nights, the courts were busily filled.
Ladies' night has proven quite a feature,
from twenty to thirty coming out on each
of the open nights and playing. While tho
club Is entirely filled, the waiting list con
tains about twenty name, and there Is little
fear that the rlub will not make a good
showing In all of the tournaments. A num
ber of strong players are practicing on the
courta and with Chase and Kohn. the Burr
brothers and Kuhn and McKensle playing
In the doublea and allies, too, and
C. Hows, P. Beaton. F. 8. Welty. D. Pollard
and others in the singles they hope to make
showing In both the city tournaments and
the Interstate, tor which they are making
arrangements to enter.
While it waa very nice to have so good
a trial of the brick bat courts at the Field
club aa the rain has given them It has
hindered the playing there and but few of
the players have been active during the
week Just past but active preparations have
gone on apace for the holding of a hand I
A great deal of Interest centers In yacht
ing there this summer and sailing has taken
a stride toward the front unparalleled In
Its history at Manawa. Much of this ts
due to the addition of the new boats this
summer. Before the races of yesterday
there have been several trial races about
the lakes to try the mettle of the new
boats and to tune them up. Every one
had looked to the Dixon boat with st
much hopo and pride that it was a great
surprise to see the Stevens boat sail all
around it last Sunday afternoon. There
had been a desire that this home boat
should prove a comer, but it was not ex
pected that It would show anything like
the qualities that it has shown.
Sailing both morning and afternoon. It
showed up well in both light and heavy
weather. The Dixon boat raced the
Andover, which has hitherto been the fast
yacht on the lake, In the morning and
won from it quite handily, but .in the
afternoon the Stevens boat joined In the
race and sailed the other two completely
out of It. Except for a tendency to stick
Its nose Into the water when on a quarter
tack the boat sails well under any con
dltlons. It carries Its sails well and cuts
the water cleanly.
The showing made against the Dixon boat
was a great disappointment to the ad
mirers of the Dixon boat, as it was thought
that nothing would touch a boat built by
the Oshkosh builders, who have been so
uniformly successful in building oup win
ners for the Inland lake regattas. How
ever. If the local boat can win from the
Oshkosh boat, it certainly ahould have a
great chance of carrying away the honors
at the regatta at Oshkosh this summer. In
which the Manawa Yacht club will enter,
Beginning with yesterday s race, races
for the club cup will be run every other
Saturday during the summer, while In
formal races will be run on each Sunday,
The rulea will be strictly adhered to this
year in all respects. This will add ma
terially to the joy of the sport and to its
popularity. All of the boats, with the ex
ception of the Stevens boat, have been
measured and their sails all are within
the 350 square feet measurement. Some
of those who saw the Stevens boat under
full sail think that it will run over the
allowance, but that is hardly believed by
the builders and owners. As the boats
must be reefed to come within these meas
urements, it is to be hoped that the Stevens
boat can keep within the measurements, as
It would seriously Impair Its sailing qua!
itlea to reef any of the sail.
There Is little doubt that with the
Andover, Dixon boat and Stevens boat in
all kinds of weather and the Grebe In
heavy weather there will be some excep
tional pleasant racing all summer long
and the season just opened looks very
propitious for the fleet on the lake.
THE RING PIN OF FIGURES
Kite Cla'sed the Boss of tbe Bunoh a1
These Sample Show.
SOME COMBINATIONS TO PONDER OVER
Astonishing Heanlts obtain by Mak
ing Klne the Pivot Aronnd
Which All Other Fig
ures Revolve.
One often hears what a queer figure some
men cut under certain circumstances, says
the Chicago Tribune, but there Is a genulna
figure which cuts more capers than all the
queer men In Christendom could cut in a
lifetime. How it is able to do the many
"stunts" It does Is apparently Inexplicable.
It Is the figure t.
Give 9 a test, for Instance, by multiplying
It by 2 or any other figure above 1 till 11 ts
reachel, and then use 11 if you care to, and
the addition of the result of each multipli
cation will be 9, just aa sure as fate. Now,
off-hand, multiply 9 by Itself. Nine time
Is 81. Isn't It? Add the result 8 plus 1 Is t.
Make a leap to any big number you please.
For example, multiply 6.S42.9S2 by 9. What
is the result? Here it is, this long string
of figures, 61.586.S3S. Add the figures of this
string together. The result Is 45. Well, 4
plus 5 equals 9. Figure 9 has bobbed up
serenely thus far, hasn't ltT
Here is another sqeezer. If you try to
corner jLby using Its own digits against t
self. It will euchre you. Now, Just see how
It docs it Jot down on a bit of paper hny
row of figures, big or little, for 9 doesn't
care a snap, and subtract the digits In
other words, the fotal resulting from th
addition of all the figures In the line and,
utterly Indifferent as to what figures you
put In a row the digits of the situation ad
ded reveal 9. Put down, say, 8,754,894. By
adding these figures you get as a result 45.
Now deduct that 45 from the row of figures.
In table form the doings of 9 will be plain
8,iM,8H added make 4b.
d deducted.
Onr Supply of Gold and Silver.
There Is now more gold and rllver taken
out of our mines yearly than was known to
be In the entire world a century ago. Last
year we were credited with one-third of
the output of the whole world. Besides
being so rich in these metals, we are also
the possessor of the best medicine for
stomach ills, namely, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Try It for Indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, liver troubles, nervousness or
malaria, fever and ague. It cannot help
but do you good.
LABOR AM) INDISTRY,
8.7d4,M9 added make 45 that is, 4 plus t
equals .
One would think that 9 would confine It
self to Its vast held of multiplication do
ings, but it does not. It goes Into the sub'
traction business, too, on a great scale. To
make things all the more surprising, ' If a
number of figures are placed In a row and,
reversing their order, a subtraction Is made,
always providing, of course, that one can
be, and the digits are now added, I turn
up smiling. Just as It did In the multiplica
tion testa. Let us see. Take 92 and, re
versing it, subtract It, thus:
92
a

Add that 636 plua A equala 9. Go up sky
high and see if 9 can't be a "knocker out,
For Instance, set down this line of figures,
246,587,931, then reverse them and subtract
them from themselves, as It were, as fol
Iowa:
246,587,931
139,785,642
106.802.289
Add that total. It makes 36. All right
3 plus 6 equals 9.
Isn't that kind of doing enough to puzzle
all "figures of speech," let alone ordinary
prosy language? But here Is another amaz
ing caper of 9. Leaving out the figure 8,
make a row of figures from 1 to 9, Inclusive
Multiply any one of them by 9. Then mul
tlply the entire row by the sum thus at
tained, and, if you are a millionaire, you
can safely wager a million dollars against
a B-cent piece that the grand result will be
composed exclusively of the figure In the
row that was especially picked out to ba
multiplied by 9. For proof, suppose you
want a grand total of 3s; simply multiply
3 by 9 and use the result (27) as the mul
teller:

There is nothing extraordinary In the fact
that all the grand totals consist . of nine
figures, still, It does seem queer that in mul
tlplylng the figure 1 by 9 the cunning
gets, without assistance from any other
figure as a multiplier of 12,345,679, a grand
total of is. However, in multiplying any
one of the other figures tp get a total con
slstlng entirely of the same figures, 9 need
a "pal," yet that "pal" Is absolutely 9'
own product.
Indeed, 9 gets In lta weight even where It
does not necessarily belong. If anyone

ately get at the head of the table and coolly
make the grand total consist of himself ex

him to accomplish. Here Is the proof of it,
however, that 7 is a silent partner of 9:

OLDEST AND BEST
THE
THE GREATEST OF ALL TONICS.
A Spring: Mcdicmc that adds vigor and strength to the system,
purifies and enriches the Blood, and lays the foundation for a
strong constitution and good health during the hot sultry summer.
Most everybody feels bad in the spring. Some have no particular ailment but are just tired,
worn out and totally unfit for work or anything else that requires energy or effort. They
mope around upon the border-land of invalidism, irritable, peevish, hysterical and unreasonable.
A good appetite in the spring is a rarity, and we sicken at the sight of food, or thought of
eating, and what little we do eat is a burden to the stomach and a tax upon the digestion.
Warm weather is sure to bring out the hidden poisons, germs and seeds of disease that have
been collecting in the blood and system during
winter, and you may look for some old chronic
trouble to make its appearance. It is a time, too,
when boils' and carbuncles, and pustular or scaly
skin eruptions like eczema and tetter, pay their annual
visits and make life miserable by their intense pains
and intolerable itching and burning. The fight for
health should begin before any warning symptoms of
physical collapse are felt, or before the germs and seeds
of disease have time to germinate if we would avoid the
usual spring sickness ; and with S. S. S., the acknowl
edged king of blood purifiers and greatest of all ionics,
you can put your blood and system in such perfect
condition and so strengthen the constitution that one
may be as free from sickness and as vigorous and strong during the trying months of spring and
depressing summer season as at any ether time.
S. S. S. not only builds you up, but searches out and destroys any poisonous germs or impuri
ties that may be lurking in the blood. The benefits derived from the use of S. S. S. are per
manent because it acts directly on the blood and purifies and cleanses it of all morbid, impure
matter, leaving nothing to cause fermentation and deterioration of this life-giving fluid.
' In selecting your blood purifier and spring tonic get one that long experience and thorough
test have proven the best. In S. S. S. you will find a remedy whose purifying properties are
unquestionable, and just such a tonic as your system needs. Ask your druggist for S. S. S.
there is nothing else just as good.
For the past 40 years we have 'had a standing offer of $1,000 for proof that S. S. S. contains
the least particle of any mineral whatever, and this offer is still open.
NATURE'S REMEDY.
PURELY VEGETABLE.
Gentlemen : For over four years I Buffered lth
general debility, causing a thorough breaking
down of my system, bo that I was unable to attend
to my household duties. I had tried other medl
oines, whloh did not relieve me. Seven yeara ago
my cousin, who had been benefited by 8. 8. 8.,
told me about it. I tried it and it oured me. I hare
been able to attend to my household duties ever
since, experiencing no lnoonvenienoe whatever ;

Once more unto the breach. Our friend S
has a great trick which will delight anyone
who, aay, at a little sociable, would for the
time being like to pass himself off as a
lightning calculator. All he need do to ar
rive quickly at his grand total of a table
of five rows la to put down the figures he
sees on the top row, with the exception of
the figure on the top of the right hand col
umn. Instead of that figure he must put
one down which Is 1 less than it. If. for In
stance, the top figure Is a 4, he should put
down a 2. Then, Invariably prefacing the
grand total with a 2, he has the correct
answer. In caaa the row enda with a figure
or a cipher, as 61 or GO, the two figures
would be changed to 40 or 48, respectively.

In making up the table the calculator
must of course reserve the right to make
the third and fifth rows himself. In doing
that he must secretly see, to to speak, that
each figure he puts down in these rows
makea 9 when added to the figure Immedi
ately above It, as can be aeen In the above
table. Should the two laat figures set down '
In the first column happen to end with 0 or
the person doing the trick must remem
ber that the laat two figures In the top
line will require changing, as shown in this
example:
