It looks Ilka It, and yet tha good old ahlp
Hill Rourke la pulling and tugging at the
chain a and mailing every effort to free lier-
alt and once mora ride the waves In the frao
and merry chase for the rag. It'a cinch
that tha mudhook la holding well, and it
may be that the skipper of tha gallant craft
will yet have to allp th cable If he Is going
to cut any figure In the parade.
Out In Denver they are very busy getting
rid of BUI Rourke; not of Omaha, mind
you. Just of Rourke. Packard haa said It,
and tha Denver papers have rung the
changes on it for several days. For all this
talk there Is Just one little bit of founda
tion. During tha Omaha conference, one of
the magnates made a talk about buying
Omaha, and Rourke said he would aell If he
could get his price. He was aaked to put a
price on hla Intereata here, and did bo.
When asked for an option he refuaed to
give one. That's all there la to that. Rourke
la Ilka any other man In buatneaa; willing to
Bell out at any time If ha can get hla price.
President Benton visited Omaha during
the week for a few hours and while here
expressed himself as regretting the plight
Of the Omaha team. But he didn't show
liny sign of undertaking to force Denver
and Milwaukee to carry out the agreement
reached at tha conference a couple of weeks
ago, whereby Omaha was to be provided
with a couple of badly needed player.
Sympathy from the president la all right,
but a little help In the way of seeing that
agreements are lived up to would be of far
more weight with tha supporters of the
game.
In the big leagues affairs have taken a
very satisfactory turn. The National
league, at tha New York special meeting,
decided by a vote of 7 to 1 to stand by the
Cincinnati peace pact. This cuts the ground
entirely from under Brush's Teet. Moreover,
it clears the way for a close arrangement
between tha two big leagues and the min
ora, and will enable the magnates once
more to control. It sounda the knell of
fancy salaries, and will put the gnme on a
business basis onoe more. For thla last
state of affairs the players can thank them
selves, or rather some of their number

one of the moat succeasful golf tournaments
ever held In America. There were entered
In the match almost all of the strongest
professionals In the country and it augurs
well for Omaha to know that the experts
of both the Country and Field clubs were
entered, although neither finished within
the money. Bartsch of the Country club
fell out at the end of the third round, while
Sherwood of the Omaha Field club
tied for twentieth place at the end of the
seventy-two holes. Sherwood's work dur
ing the first day waa nothing short of re
markable. He tied for sixth place after
falling four short of bogle, going out the
nrat time. On the next twenty-seven holes
he beat bogie by three. That waa the finish
of the first day. On the second and last
day the Ideal conditions pf the previous
day were exactly reversed, and Sherwood's
score dropped steadily. Bartsch - went
around once and dropped out, as he waa
too far behind to make any showing.

with two holes to the good. He la a Scotch
man by birth and 29 years old.

The first attempt In severat years on the
part of Omaha athletes to compete In field
sports was the field and track meet of the
Young Men's Christian association yester
duy. With this form of sport practically
dead In Omaha, Mr. Pentland, who has
charge of the association gymnasium,
opened up a department In track athletics
and took about twenty-five men under his
tutelage. For two months the men have
been working Intermittently on the grounds
at Seventeenth and Plnkney streets, where
they have a 100-yard cinder track and the
various paraphernalia used In the weight
events and Jumping and pole vaulting.
A few of the men have had experience In
college and high school in this kind of
work, but few had any wide range of ex
perience, so that the records were really
very creditable. The association hopes that
this first attempt on their part is only the
beginning of a renewal of interest In this
branch of athletics in Omaha and that men
may be developed who will bring Omaha
bark Into a place In track athletics aa
prominent as that held by it five or six
years ago, when both the association and
the High school had track and field teams
that were cspable of meeting some of the
best men In like institutions.
The opportunity for giving the men ade
quate training this year haa been poor be
cause of the hampered facilities .on the
grounds of the association, but Increased
Interest another year lll mean Increased
facilities. This year la merely a try out
of the popularity of the sport In Omaha
and the association did not feel like In
vesting much money In expensive grounds
and equipment it the Interest would be light
and fleeting.

The Pullman company has made a de
mand on Y. P. Woolston of Denver for
fro damages to the sleeper In which he
recently made his bridal trip. It seems

shoes and banners and tilings were nailed
to the windows of the Pullman sleeper.
Inside and out. Nails were driven Into the
car with at much abandon as If it had
been a picket fence. When the sleeper

Mr. Louis Duval of Long Island City j
sought rt'fuge In a New York jail the other ,
day because he was relentlessly pursued by
several women, presumably attracted by
his extraordinary beauty. It waa a very
unusual occurrence, even In New York
but when a man is possessed of some irre
sistible fascination, whether It be hand
some features, alluring manners or a
fetching uniform, he must look out fur
susceptible women. He takes his liberty In
his hand, so to speak, every time he ven
tures forth. But it is suspected that in
the New York case the pursuing women
also knew that the man's name was Louis
and also Duval.
The Centervlew (Mo.) Record tells of a
young man who had been writing a girl
In Minneapolis fur three years, intending .
some day to ask her to marry him. The
other day he received a letter and a
picture from her. The letter announced
that she had been married two years, and
the picture waa of her baby. "My husband
and I have enjoyed your letters very
much," she wrote, "but I guess you'd bet
ter stop writing now, as I have to spend
all my time carjng for the baby," The
Record says the words the young man
used after reading the letter would shock
a field of oats.
