J I 22 TIIE OMAIIA DAILY DEE: SUNDAY, MARCIT 27. 1004. 1 4 J! "sporting gossip of the week .Well, here they are. Papa Dill Rourke Im disclosed the names f the your.g mm who will draw pay r rearing the Omaha uniform during the Coming season and the Mot surely looks good, although you are entitled to your own Dplnfon of the bunch. Tho team: Catchers, Dondtng, Freese; pitchers. McCarthy, Root, Llrbhard, Schafstull, Leatlicrby, Caae, Hen derson, Companion, Cheatwood, Brown; Brst base, Thorium; second base, Qulnn. lfownt; third base, Bchlpke; shortstop, Tay lor. Make; left field. Miller; middle field, Welsh; right field. Carter. Out of this bunch of twenty-one starters Omaha will certainly secure the necessary material for a successful team. Rourke is very well pltnsrd with them. He has sent transpor tation to all who are not already here, ex cept Quinn, who Is delayed In St. I-ouls on account of Ms business affairs, nnd may not be able to come to Omaha at the open ing of the practice season, although Rourko experta him to be here by the first of the month. The others are directed to report her by March 30 In order that they mny vade the penalty that uttachea to delay. Neither Companion nor Thomas has been heard from recently, but as each Is holding onto the contract sent him, and as trans portation has been sent to both at St. Louis, Rourke Isn't worrying about their coming. Freese comes from Onawa, la. ; McCarthy from Seattle, Root from 1'ittnburg, Knn.; JJebhard from lndlnmpolls, Schafatall from Cincinnati, Lentherby from Havelock, Caae from Rock Inland nnd Cheatwood from Deadwood, fl. D. Brown will not Join the team until the close of the college year at me. In June. Downs comes from Neola, Bchlpke from St. Louln. Plnkr from Ogden and Taylor from Mt. Carmel, Pu. Bobby Carter wintered at Jacksonville, Klu., and will be here this week with his wife and little, boy, intending to make Omaha his home, Freese has had no professional ex perience, hut has made an excellent record aa a catcher In amateur games, and is touted as a sure comer. He is big and trong, and has a good throwing arm, which he uses unsparingly. McCarthy played with two or three tenms In the coast war last season and is recommended i aa a good pitcher, although he Is said to bat much the same as Milton. He has a record at the bat of .1W.

It will prevent croup and one or two doses will stop it immediately. Hundreds of mothers have endorsed Milks' Emulsion because it strengthens their children as nothing else has ever done; gives them a good appetite, and in this way renders them less liable to contract many of the contagious diseases so rife among children.

Gentlemen Last 'eeember my three children were taken ill with severe colds, which grew Into hooking oouirhs. later giving them sore throats. I tried honey and tar and nearly all the other remedies my druiftflnt could suggest, but they gave no relief. My neighbor, Mr. Pomeroy, had purchased some Milks' Kmulslon and gave me soma in a small wine glass. I guv each of the children a dose before retiring, and they slept the whole night through without coughing. The next day I went to Waggoner's Drug Store and bought a package, the results being wonderful. 1 have never beeu without Milks' Emulsion in my house since that time, and 1 And It to be a sure remedy for coughs, colds or sore throat.

He batted .27?, which Is certainly going a few for a pitcher under the foul strlk-j rule, and while he lost ten out of eighteen games. It was not due to the hitting of his opponents, for the record shows that the batting average of the opposing teams off his delivery was but .267. If he can pitch like that for Omaha he won't hava to complain about not winning a majority of his games, for he will be well backed in the field. Case was a winning pitcher for Rock Island In the Three I league last season, standing sixth in the list of tho league's pitchers, with a percentage of .647 games won. He batted .ISO and Melded .8118. Sam Leatherbjr Is well known here for the work he did for the University of Nebraska two years ago, and Johhny Uond Ing picks him for the find of the season among the new men. Rourke, too, is favor ably Impressed with Leatherby, and looks on him as a winner. Cheatwood Isn't so well known, but come well recommended and will be given full opportunity to show what he has. Brown has been a suc cess In college and amateur base ball and has a record that entitles him to more than a beginner's chance. He Is still at school, but will get Into the game as soon as the study year closes. In the meantime he will get Into condition with the college team. Downs, who has signed to play second, held down that position for the Fort Scott team In the Missouri Valley league last season and made something of a tear at the bat, coming out of 121 games with a record of .313. HI fielding average was .9C. Downs Is a big fellow, but very fast, and covers lots of ground In the fu 1J. Bchlpke, who also cornea from Fort Bcott to Omaha,' made a batting record of .306 and fielded .9.17 in 129 garnet, playing the whole schedule out. Rourke says he Is a ball player In every department and will be a revelation to the Omaha patrons, who haven't seen third base properly cared for In severnl seasons, except during the Short time Eddie Hlckey braced up along toward the end of the season last year and played the game right. Plake, who played the last twenty-two games with St. Joseph last season, had a batting average of .183 and fielded .823.

Taylor has made quite a name for himself anions the strong amateur teams of western Pennsyl anla and is looked upon as a likely man. It would be a waste of time to tell what the old Omaha players can do, for they are too well known to the fans. Harry Ye ah, who will be carried through the season for utility, will start In middle .field, but Rourke expects to get a strong man for that position very soon, having the promise of a fielder who Is now being tried out with a National league club, if he gets him there'll be nothing to it so far as Omaha's outfield Is concerned, and the Infield will be stronger In every respect than It was last season, so that Omaha's chance of shining Is decidedly good. On Saturday and Sunday, April t and 10. Omaha will entertain ono division of General Charles Comlskey'e army, and promises to make a holiday for the Old Roman for fair. On the Tuesday following. April 12, Frank Selee will lead his 2-year-olds out to Vin ton park for a practice romp, snd Omaha will get to see what the coming National league champions look like, as well as to renew acquaintance with the man who once landed a pennant with an Omaha team. Just remember these dates, and don't make any other engagements for those after noons. President Sexton is Just now working out the tranxportntldn problem. The schedule for the season calls for four trips for each team, a total team travel of 7,600 miles, and as each team will carry on an average of fourteen men, this means 106.000 miles each league owner will have to settle with the railroads for. Taking this In connection with the tickets sent the men to come on, and other incidental movements, at the best rates the league can possibly secure, the teams will have to foot transportation bills of above 12,300 each, or more than $500 a month for the playing season. Down at Vinton park a number of changes have been made, the chief of which has been to abolish the single ad mission gate at the Thirteenth street en trance. Hereafter only carriages' will be admitted there. An emergency admission gate has been established under the grand stand, where the big exit gate Is located. This will take of the biggest Jam that comes, and will permit the crowds being better handled. The painters have been busy, putting things Into shap for the season, and a new bath room outfit has been Installed In the club house, a boiler being added, so that the players will have all the comforts of home at the park here after, and not be expected to Jump under the Ice 'water faucet, as they used to. In other ways tho comfort of the publlo and the players Is being provided for, and when the time comes for the i, game to start, things will be found In first -class condition. George Alonso Stone was In Omaha dur ing the week, and his presence here gave rise to a story that he had signed with Rourke. He Is quite willing to play with Omaha, but as Milwaukee has him under contract, he kept on over to Peoria, where he begins .practice work with the Can tillion tribe. Pete Lohman says Oscar Graham Is the only pitcher on the coast. Now, if Oscar will only say that Pete Lohman Is the only catcher on the coast, we can open the season without further formality. Eddie Lawler. as has already been an nounced In this column, Is to play ball In Omaha this summer, whereat the local amateur fans rejoice and are exceedingly glad. He has signed with the Originals, who carried off the little flag last year, and has been elected captain of the team. Lawler will play his old and favorite posi tion in the garden, and with Saffelder, Scully and McElvaine In the box. Foley at the first corner, Bradford (manager) at seoond, Lawrle at short. Minnlcus on third bag, and Dlnrieen, Whitney, Howe, Taylor and Lawler distributed around the pas ture, the Originals will certainly be In a position not only to make the local teams go along some, but many of the teams In the minor leagues will have to whip up when they heave In sight. They will start the thing going with the old new Omahas on the 2d and Sd of May, and It's a pretty safe gamble that Rourke's men get all that's coming to them and then some. The last yaar's Nationals, whose reorgan ization has already been noted, have changed their name to the Coronas. Just why, nobody seems to know, but if they are satisfied everybody else ought to be. They will play on the old Vinton grounds on the south side, which, by the way, are among the best in the city. The Ideals have not got together again this year be cause many of their good- men have left the town. Among them Is Balltnger, who caught good ball for them last year, and Is now at some place in Texas. Other members of the team still here have dis tributed themselves among the other local teams. Jack Henry la another good man that It was a pity to let get away. He caught for Leavenworth and for Butte and will fill the same position for Fargo this season. South Omaha is to hsve two of the best teams in the amateur ranks In th.ise representing the Armour and Jetter Industries. The personnel Of neither one Is completed as yet, but they are taking on only the right kind of stuff and propose to be heard trom all the season Why there Isn't some amateur organization or an at tempt at one Is hard to tell, except that hubody seems Inclined to take the lead and get the representatives of the dif ferent organizations together. But It ought to be done hot foot. Negotiations sre now pending between Tuthlll and Dennlson snd the Omaha Driv ing club for the purchase outright, by the latter, of the driving park track and all the appurtenances thereto, Instead of leas ing the place, as was contemplated at a recent meeting of the driving club. It was announced In this column several weeks ago that the matter would ulti mately resolve Itself lnt this proposition, as while Mr. Dennlson has seemed more or less apathetic as to his Interests In the matter. Mr. Tuthlll was authority for the statement that was1 made that the only way the track could be acquired by anybody was by purchase and he still adheres to that resolution. The reason given Is that he wants to get out of the biflnes for good and all snd have It off his hands. It Is doubtful If there Is any one man In this part of the state who has gore to more pains and expense, even to money nut of pocket, to promote the ra?lng game In this section then has Tuthlll. He has It reduced to a science. too. but has acquired his information and understanding by many a hard knock. Among other things, he has built a half mile track .for Omaha that Is undeniably one of the best In the country and that still holds the world's record, aa made by Croesus last season. From the statements of the track committee of the driving club It Is very doubtful If they let It be made Into a potato patch over any petty dls agreement with the men who own It, for there Is no doubt but that It would kill the legitimate In this town for a long time If not altogether. There was some misgiving expressed st the meeting of the driving club the other night as to the advisability of entering any of the Omaha fast ones In the state fair races at Lincoln, In any special class, for fear that the hors. would be given s mark snd thus barred from the smateur track. But this Is s mistake, for any horse entered as an amateur and driven against amateurs, ia any class of races, may riot receive a record. This was de cided st an International track meeting not long since. "Black the Hatter," like Rip Van Win kle. Is a lucky man. His bowling team of "Black Kata" today are all wearing new black hats snd a smile. Black, he paid the freight on the former snd their own good right arms did the rest. In other words, they won out on the Commercial Bowling league contest wtth something to spare, and Black and his team are correspond ingly happy. The Commercial league bowl ing showed some pretty sverages and com pares favorably with the tournament Just finished on the other alleys. But that has nothing to ia w'.fn Hat the Blacker. His next greatest Joy, Just now. Is his mare, Ruby Ryan. She is trying out this spring In splendid fashion snd will be along In the front rank of the city's quick pacers all summer. Ruby Ryan Is a beautiful bay, sixteen hands high and has shown a mile In .,10 without a boot or hobble. Who wouldn't be happy with a champion bowling team and a swell pscer on his hands? There wss not a single minute that the Bleck Ksts were not In It, when the standings In the Commercial Bowling league came to be considered. They took a lead at the start snd were neaver headed throughout the race, though, to tell the truth, they did fall down once or twice snd have a narrow escape or two off ac count thereof. The Drexel shoe team squeaked along into second place, while the Gate Cltys took third money In a walk. The also fans sre shown by the fol lowing tabulated standing.

But It takes more than cold, rain, wind, snow, hall, sleet or sny other atmospheric condition or comblnafjon of conditions to kill the germs of the real fever, after they have once got a foothold In the human system and the local enthusi asts have their ears to the ground harking for the good old Summer time and sunny weather, even If they aren't the possessors of anything more than a leather cap. The main topic of conversation among the members of the club has been the big meet of automoblllsts that Is to be held at 8t. Louis during the fair. From Boston they are coming, from New York, Albany, Buf falo, Cleveland, Cincinnati and all the big snd little cities along the line of march, un til by the time the procession enters the ex hibition city It will be the greatest show on earth, so far as auto cars are con cerned. And of course Omaha Is to be represented. The entrance to the show city will be made on August 10, snd Just where the Omaha contingent, together with those who come this way from the west, will Join the ranks has not yet been defi nitely determined, but the offloials of the local club are already corresponding with the eastern managers of the undertaking and will be In at the death or know the reason wherefore. Among the prospective candidates for the trip from this city are DeRoy Austin, with his twenty-horse power WInton touring car: C. E. Wllklns and G. W. Wattles, with the same kind of machines; Emll Brandels snd his Peerless touring car; Luther Kountse, wtth his big machine; N. B. Updike, with the Franklin air-cooled, and Frederlckson,., with his favorite WInton. Of course these machines will accommodate many more persons than those named, and while It Is too early to say who will act as passengers. It Is safe to assume that none of the seats will go begging. It Is also more than likely thit T. M. Brownell, who has recently opened an sgency for the Rambler machines, will be of the Omaha bunch, though he Is as yet too new In town to have his plans fully made out. . The eighteenth annual state pigeon shoot will be held at Columbus May 18, 19 snd 20 next and already the entry list shows that the meet will give the Interstate tourna ment, held in Omaha last month, a hard rub for first place with regard to Joint of numbers, at least. But this Is not so strsnge, for some good purses will be hung up and It is a good deal better season of year for any kind of an outdoor meet. In any case, there will not be the least shade of rancour In the hearts of the Omaha gun ners, for they got theirs, and In good measure, and from the success of the local meeting and the way the men were used sre always sure to have a full house and then some, whenever they choose to an nounce a meeting. A good many of the local cracks will go to Columbus looking after prize money. A thing that Is Inter esting them 'all these days Is the new Browning automatic shotgun. It only came on the market last fall, and this spring's duck shooting Is the first chance that many of the Omaha men have had to put It to a practical test. Six shots can be fled with out losing the sight, and of course It doe.s terrible execution with the birds. In fact, It Is such s tremendous killer that It lessens rather than increases the sport, tor a duck that gets In range doesn't have a chance for his life, and as for pigeons a mn might as well take them by the hind legs snd chop their heads oft with an axe. Speaking of pigeons, the alleged sporting edition of a Texas paper the other day had a long communication from some humanely disposed parson deploring the useless and heartlessly cruel killing of so many poor, little, inoffensive "blue rock pigeons." Gibson, the ground keeper for the Field club, proposes to outdo himself this year In the matter of adornment of the premises of. the club. Already he Is busily en gaged In the grading, trimming snd laying out of new snd old walks and will In Hiigurate a '1, zn or so of flower beds where he nly two last year. Other Improvements are to he made aside ifrom the projected enlargement of the building and It goes without saying that the grounds will be more popular as a resort with the members than In any previous year. Every pleasant day, even now. a dozen or more of cranks go over the golf course, ard now that Christy, ths club's expert, hss srrlved to take charge of the Tlay and players, the attendance will be come even more general. In spite of the fact thst W. H. Van Brunt is no longer of the Lotus Tacht club, the Manawa Yacht club has snother chance to fight for the trophy cup pre sented to It three or four years sgo by the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railroad company. Mr. Van Brunt, as a member of the St. Joe aggregation of tars, tried to lift this trinket twice, and. Ilka the Immor tal Sir Tommy, failed to stir It. Now a challenge has been received from E. M. Platte, secretary of the Lotus club, ssklng for a chance at it next June, which offer has been eagerly accepted. The exact dates hsve not been fixed ss yet, but It has been settled thst there shall be five races, sailed under the rules of the Inland Kaks Yachting association for class B boats. That means boats not over thirty, two feet In lengtn nor carrying more than 350 square feet of sail. The defender will probably be the Manaaa, owned by E. W.

Bad blood not only affects the skin but creates internal dis orders. The Liver and Kidneys act less promptly, the stomach is upset and the appe tite usually fails, and this condition of affairs is bad on the nervous system and brings on that debilitated, run down, tired out feeling common to this time of the year.

It purifies and enriohes the blood and gives tone, and strength to all the organs. lu other words, It builds up ths general health while driving out poisons and impurities. 1 am a great admirer of 8. 8. 8. beoauss 1 know It to be all you claim for It, and know, too. that it Is superior to Barsaparilla compounds and other things I have used. To sum np what I hav said, S. 8. S. Is tho prinoe or blood purifiers and I unhesi tatingly give It my endorsement. 08 Garfield Avenue. MRS. HATTIE HOVLE. INCREA8ED STRENGTH AND ENERGY. Wheeling, W.
