n.tln Snd rold weather have had a treat
d.al tj do with the affairs nf the Valley
trams if the West n league during the
lnt work, for, while each had a full mater
of players on hand, neither has been tlik
to do a great deal In the wajr of practli,e
work, a dlatpolntmnt to maiiageni anJ
flayers alike. While this condition has
jirerallrd "More; the rlvr. the Moiintalneere
have been getting In their best llrks on the
dlvnnnd, i,Tttlng acquainted with on an
other and with the conditions of the
grounds on which they are to open the
season. Both Denver and Colorado Springs
are thus at lenst one week to the good jo
far as training la concerned. It may not
make much difference in the course of the
onuon. but It will help a whole lot right
at th atart. The Rourke family, after
their little annual setto with the Originals,
want down to Lincoln, where they' were
quite handsomely drubbed by the colleg
!ana In the opening game. On the second
day the tables were turned and the tele
graphic accounts of the affair say that
It was owing to the "terrific speed" of
Henderson that the triclt was turned. Mc
Carthy was rent to the barn early In the
flght and Pnny. the Boy Wonder, went
In and stopped the rush of the educated
rouna- men. In fact, so little was there to
't after Henderson started that la els In-
rfgs but one hit was registered off him.
Tils means that Benny is trying to make
thtv team this season. He showed strong
symptoms last year, and It may be that
T! ill Rourke's good Judgment "In holding
onto Mm la about to be vindicated. Schtpse
appears to be the other find. He has
all kinds of speed, hits well and covers a
lot of grouni around third, and covers It
well. His lark of training is responsible
for the fact that he failed to locate first
on one or two of his public throws here,
but he will get over that, and certainly
gives reason to think that we have landed
a third baseman. Downs at second and
riake at short both looked good, and the
other are so well known and thoroughly
relied on that It Isn't worth while to say
they are In the game. None of the pitchers
has shown a disposition to set the river on
fire yet, but thla Is altogether owing to
the bad weather. When the sun gets out
and the. boys can let their arms go, a dif
ferent story will be recorded. Just before
the season opens It seems that Rourke s
promise f a faot team Is to be redeemed.
One more fhanc tor a lovely little family
row la the Western Is now looming up.
For some time, ever since before the Chi
cago team started West, Rourke has been
dickering with Hart and Stlce for the pur
chum of an outfielder, Howard by name.
Hart wrote that the matter was in BeK-e's
hands, and Selee wrote practically promis
ing that Rnurkl ahnnlH hv Unftird
'm Relying on this, Rourke has made no ef
VGrt to get arty other man. Now word
cornea from Colorado Springs that Burns
has succeeded In negotiating with Selee for
f Howard, and that the player will be left at
the Springs when the Z-year-olds move on
to Omaha. If this should prove to be the
case, Rourke will have still more reason to
love Burns, who has lost no chance to
show hia dislike to Omaha during the last
two seasons. The report from Colorado
Springs lacks the confirmation of Mr.
Selec's assent and It may prove to be but
one more of the canards that have started
from that town. Omaha lovers of the sport
will hope that It is, for Howard la the man
needed to naaka the Omaha outfield com
plete and give us a team that can make the
other play ball all the time. Selee will be
here with hla team on Tuesday and some
thing deflnltill tkeab known.
"Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide" for
the current year is one of the most com
plete of the kind ever published. In many
respects It surpasses all former editions of
this work, which has come to be a stand
ard. It Is edited, as usual, by Henry Chad
wlck, "the father of base ball," and. In ad
dition to a vast amount of official statis
tical Information, contains an unusual
mount of carefully prepared, and ably
kjTltten historical matter. It Is book
that every -fan" should have handy all the
time.
The golf course of the Field club Is being
kept red ot thrse days from the scraping
of heels and atlcka and things that ure
going over it. and all kinds of wonderful
scores are belnf made. Instructor Christie
Las both hands full of young Ideas anxious
to know how to shoot and shoot well,
while the ones who do know the game are
Improving so fast that the bogey eoore
has already been reduced once thta season
and will be again, aa the present figure of
71 becomea a cinch. It la doubtful if there
Is a club of this slxe in several counties
which has aa large a proportion of uni
formly good players as the Field club. It
la a hard matter to get a Una on the
cores made in competition, for reasons
tlSt every golf player will understand,
but there Is much playing done on these
links that will compare favorably with the
scores that less exclusive clubs make con
siderable noise about. J. B. Rahrn Is prob
ably the bent player among the or more
of members of the club, while Harry 1-aw-rle.
H. C. Bumney, H. B. Morrill, John
Murphy, 3. D. Foster, C. R. Bun and
several others are a close second. Then

The new course Is not In shape for play
yet, but Is fast approaching completion.
Th home racing game seems to be very
much under cover thews days, but It Is far
from dea notwithstanding appearances,
and for proof of the statement go to th
speedway any pleasant afternoon and ace
th fancy one that are out for an airing
They are there by the score, snd when the
driving club and Tuthlll and Dennison get
done fiddling over the track question there
will be something on In the line of matlncat
that will be worth going to see. And It
looks, now, from the rued, as If the time
for fiddling waa about over and It waa up
to somebody to bark up a' little. It Is a
cinch that the track won't be converted
Into that much talked of potato pat-h. any
way, and that's all the observing public
care about It. But the aame public has
an Increasing appetlt for some races and
la tired of the game of talk.
The boys of the Regent bas ball team
were sadly disappointed not to have had
that crack at Pa Rourke's players that
was promised them for Friday and that
the weather man put such an emphatic
veto upon. They were all primed for
the occasion and It's a good gamble that
the professionals would have had to be on
their toes all the time to have won out.
But there are other days coming and the
regular season doesn't open for ome
time yet. The Regents have played to
gether for two or three years and every
man on the team knows his cue. This
year they are captained by Hogan, who
holds down the third bag. William El rod
la the manager and has provided his men
with handsome new blue uniforms trim me 1
with red, that they are anxious to get
out and soil a little. The Regents have
several games on the string and promise
to give a good account of themselves be
fore the season Is over.
The golf tourney which Is to be played
on the course of the Field club some time
In May promises to be one of the most
noteworthy ever played In this part of
the west. On reason for this la that
the links aa now laid out and nearly com
pleted will be as good aa any possibly
could be, and better than any In eastern
Nebraska, at leaat. They will be formally
opened May 7 and the tournament will
be held aa soon after that time as the
arrangements can be satisfactorily made.
With the clubs that have already signi
fied their Intention of sending players such
as Lincoln. Dea Molnea, Evanston (Kan
sas City). Hastings, Carroll and Nebraska
City, it Is more than a conjecture that
the new grounda will start off with a
record that It will be hard to find excelled
anywhere.
About all th curling that th Omaha,
Curling club has been able to do thla
winter has been In connection with their
several luxuriant mustaches, but In sptta
of that fact the club held an enthusiastic
meeting Thursday night and among other
things elected office for next winter by
practically electing th aame board that
has served during th past season. Curling
la a peculiar but very exhilarating sport,
of which comparatively llftl la known In
these parts. But the canny Scots who
make up the local club get all there Is In
It when th weather man gives tham a
fair deal. Th Ice must be neither too
aoft nor too hard and thla winter It has
been on or th other with monotonous
regularity. Th curllngr park has hereto
for been on Cut Off lak. where this un
satisfactory condition seems to prevail to
an unusual degree. Next year, th club
haa decided to build a rink of Ita own,
whero the Ic may be prepared for Its
port In scientific fashion. On of th
members haa offered th neoeaaary poa
. -..u u wunin easy distano of
th street car so that Mnni. i
may see and get acquainted with th un-
uuuuiw, auracuona of the game. The club
now numbers something over forty mem
bers and It U expected that the change In
the location of th park aa wall as other
Inducements that will be mad in th way
of attractions will give it an Impetus naxt
winter that will double this number.
The new Omaha Bowling association la
doing buslnew at th old stand on Harney
street with great eclat, though, to tell the
truth. Its Jfit venture In the line of engi
neering a tournament la freely acknowl
edged by the members as likely to be
something of a frost. Th state tourna
ment to be rolled here on April H. 15 anj
16 Is referred to. Several things are con
spiring to this end and on of them Is that
It waa conceived at th wrong end of th
winter to catch much outside trade. Bowl
ers everywhere have been going the pace,
fast and furious, for the last six months
snd more and are Just simply tired; and
besides, some of them hav to do a little
business on the side occasionally, so that
despite the M0 In prises thgt Is swung In
front of them, the entries from the other
bowling crated towns ars coming In elowry,
very slowly. In fact, they are coming so
slowly that nons of them hav as yet ar
rived here. But there are four days still
left In which they may materialise, and
during that time the association la assured
inai teams rrom at least Lincoln and Ne
braska City will put in an appearance. At
almost any other time, and had the na
tlonal tournament not Just closed. Colum
bus, Fremont. Schuyler, Beatrice and a
doxvn other towr: could be depended upon
to a dead moral certainty. But they won't
be In It this trip; snd If not a single out
side team shows up the boys will hav a
good time and go ahead and have the
tournament Just the same, for the new as
sociation Isn't made up of the kind of stuff
thaf quits. I'p to now there are fifty-two
entries in this town for the single man
matches, and the two-man teams entered
consist of Encell and Marble. Zimmerman
and Hodges. Foracutt and Frltcher, Potter
and Francisco. Denraan and Brunke. Oll
christ and Schneider, Davis and Duke,
Bonnell and Tonneman, Clay and Banks!
Carter and Chumlea. Huntington and
Emery. GJerde and Sprague. Each man
pays II entrance fee for each event, so If
there Is not another entry there will be
something worth while doing. The asso
ciation now consists of slxtv.nve atru-k.
I holders, with the following governing
hoard: President. H. D. Reed: vice presi
dent. L. F. P.dwarda; secretary-treasurer.
F. B. Carter. One of the wisest things
that the new association has thus far don
Is to retain th services of W. H. Emery
to manage and overs the alleys. Emery'
Is Invariably courteous, looking out for th
Interests of his employers and the players

The blcyoie proper may have lost Its
prestige aa a vehicle of amusement and
exercise snd been relegated to the more
prosaic rank of a business proposition, but
It's first cousin, the motorcycle. Is in the
first flush of popularity, so far as Omhi is
concerned. There are less than h!f a
doxen of these Insurance rate raisers In the
whole city, which Is strsnge, ronrlderlng
the amount of money that Is yearly sin-nt
for asphalt. In other words, the city cfTere
advantages to motor cyclists tint art
found In but few places, and the wonder
Is that this form of sport Is rot more
generallv patroHxed. The prospect Is that
It will Im, too, before the season Is over,
for one or two of the bicycle and auto
mobile concerns are contemplating adding
a side line of the two-wheeled rushers to
their stocksn Of course motor cycling is
not In It with the auto for resl solid com
fort snd pleasure, but It Is quite Ss cltti
gerous. wMrh Is something In Its favor,
and then It doesn't bfg1i to cost as mu-!i
as the four-wheeled touring car.
Everybody does not know that "Yours;
Corbett," the fnllen, Idol of the lightweight
division of pugdom. Is an Omaha product,
so far aa his "professional" career Is con
cerned. He discovered himself to Ike
Quill several years ago with the announce
ment that he was the real thing with the
padded mitts and was forthwith enRgd
by Ike to do stunts at the lattt-r's com.-ert
garden. Corbett, at this time, was "on
his uppers" and came Into Omaha on or
under a freight tniln. But at Gulll's beer
garden matinees he took on most any old
thing for four rounds and always gave n
good account of himself. And then one
day along came O'Neill, who was at that
time the champion lightweight of Iowa, nnd
Corbett took him on on the same tnrms
tha't he boxed all comers. Lafo in the
day of O'Neill's appearance Corbett was
notified that the Iowa man had nnno'inced
his intention of knocking his Corbvtt'w
block off, which. In English, means that
he proposed to whip him In earnest. And
Corbett was delighted at the prospect. He
went to Oiill! nnd nsked for leave to fltht
back and It was given. That nlRht will
long be remembered by the sporting frater
nity of Omaha present (and there was a
good representation, for It had become
noised about that there would be some
thing doing). The result of the argument
was that O'Neill went to his hotel in an
ambulance, or some similar conveyance,
after the two principals and Quill hnd
paid an Imperative visit to the police sta
tion. Corbetfs rise In the flstlo arena was
rapid after this time until he met and
defeated the then lightweight champion,
Terry Mr-Govern. Meantime Quill's place,
the soen of his first triumph, bad beoome a
thing of the past and the proprietor has
beoome a mixer and dispenser of things
wet at Tuthill'a "Tuxedo," where he U
now engaged. Of course ha was proud to
have been the discoverer of so big a little
man as Corbett and when, after he had
become champion of his class, he came to
Omaha as a theatrical attraction. Quill
wanted to be glad tose him. But Corbett
didn't know nor see his oldttme friend
and helper. That's the history. In brief, of
one champion. And so It goes.
The fishing season opened without a
struggle the first of the month on all
kinds of scaly stuff, except trout, and
Inasmuch as there are no trout within a
Sabbath day's Journey of this immedlat
vicinity, and no scales on them wherever
they are, th provision of th law prohib
iting th catching of them Is very gener.
ally obeyed by the plscatolially inclined.
But bass and all th rest of the family
ar hers and from this on their own good
Judgment must preserve them, for Game
Warden Plerson, their only friend, is out
of the running. Th bass fry that was put
into Cut Off lake two or three years ago
ought to be large enough to furnish some
good sport by this time, and several good
rises have thus early been observed at
Manawa. Th latest andbest thing where
with to secure the finny fellows baa this
season been patented and put upon the
market by H. A. Homan of this city. It
is known as Homan's weedleaa fish book
and ia designed to stop profanity, keep
th bait on securely and skim over th
weeds without scooping up a hatfull off
very bunch that It oomea to. It Is also
a great convenience and benefit to those
Just learning to cast, as in the case of an.
overrun or lap, which Is so discouraging
to the beginner, as well aa to those who
think they know It all; time can be taken
to let the bait sink while straightening
out the line and reel with nq. fear of th
hook becoming snagged on the bottom. It
all com from an ingenious arrangement
of a spring guard, which protects the point
of the hook from everything except the
mouth of poor Mr. Fish.
Th new uniforms for th members of
ths Field club base ball team have ar
rived and ar beauties now. They ar of
white flannel with the club monogram.
O. F. C, on ths breast in green, wtjte
and green being th club color. A few
slides down to the third corner will spoil
the pristine whiteness of the middle story
of some ft them about the first time they
are on parade, probably, but nobody will
care fur a UtUe discoloration If th slide
is only successful. The diamond at th
Field club Is one of the best ever mad
of turf, and Is even now being put In
spple pie order by the club gardener. The
rest of the grounds are receiving his at
tention, also, to an extent never attempted
before. Flower beds are everywhere, and
while they are not so very beautiful Just
yet, they have th makings for later In
the season. The Improvements on the
club's house mentioned In this column as
contemplated, some weeks ago, are now
In process of being made and will add
Immeasurably to the convenience and
comfort of that place. The kitchen Is bring
enlarged to twice Its former slxe and the
dining room Is receiving attention along
the same line, while luO additional lockers
have been added to the former number.
Jacksnlpe are putting In their appear
ance In limited quantities and in a sham,
faoed sort of way, as if apologising for
the fact of getting here before the law
allows the sportsman to kill them. One of
the latter Is authority for the statement
that not on Jack boa been killed thla sea
son, so far ss he was able to learn. With
the next breath he Innocently added that
"they are awfully tough yet, and thin,
too," which latter statement might hav
a tendency to, lead some pessimistic and
thoroughly evil-minded person to believe
that th said sportsman nad bagged a few
of th Jacklea In spit of th law. But of
course b hadn't. Aa a matter of fact,
snip ar coming In earlier and In larger
quantltle thla year than ever before, so
the old-timers say. and will furnish some
rare and legitimate sport for th gunners

as Indicated In this circular, lr. requesiel
and exnected.
Out-of-date advertising Is worse than no
advei-tislrg at all. Cut It nut. Beeent In
spection of papers carrying our advertising
on transportation basis shows a u"nrline
amount of advertising for events that have

price of good ndvertKliur.
Wherever and whenever possible Inquiries
resulting from advertisements should be
promptly followed un with a view of secur

forms the connecting link between adver
tising and the sale of tickets.
From time to time news slips containing
current items of railroad news will be sent
you for publication In newspapers with
which we have advertising arrangements.
They will be carefully prepared from a
news standpoint and the advertising fea
ture almost eliminated. If the editor does
not care to publish them as news, his ac
tion will have no effect upon his advertis

Under the caption "Friendship With
Editors and Reporters," the circular has
this to say:
In delivering these items and sdvertlslng
and In handling transportation requests It
Is urged that agents maintain a friendly
attitude toward newaaoer men. The St.
Paul road has received thousands of col
umns of complimentary publicity from
newspapers and expects to receive a great
deal more. This service will be Increased

manner through the courteous treatment
of newspaper men by employes of this
company.
In sepeaklng of "Advertising to Be
Avoided" the circular says:
This company has dlsclntlnued advertis

will rel v chiefly on the distribution of our
own advertising matter and timely ad

to sell more tickets.
The circular Is signed by P. A. Miller,
general passenger agent of ths company.

STRENGTH, ENERGY, HEALTH AND VIGOR.
Kenton, Ohio, August 22, 1903
Gentlemen S. S. 8. has 'been used la our family for"
years and trs think a Rrest deal of it. It is used for a tonlo
mostly. I hare also found it a splendid medlolae for stom
ach troubles. Was for a long time bothered with Dyspep
sia, bat of lata years haven't been troubled with it. Am
confident 8. 8. 8. relieved it. As a tonio it builds up the
system in every w-ay, fnves strength, ooergy aod appetito;
la other words, brings health and vigor.
My husband has also used it and has the same pool
opinion of it. Ws think it th greatest medlolne made,
and oan recommend it to all in need of a tonio or blood
purifier. MRS. S. B. LOWERT.

HEALTH RUN DOWN, NO APPETITE AKD ALWAYS
TIRED.
Columbus, Ohio, Mr y 19, 100B.
Some four years ago I vras suffering from Impure blood
and a general run-down condition of the system. I had no
appetite, was losing la flesh, and an all-gone tirad foaling
that made me feel miserable.
I began the use of 8. 8. &., and after taking seven or
eight bottles my skin was cleared of an eruptions and took
on a ruddy, healthy glow that assured me that my blood
had been restored to its normalhealthy condition. My
appetite was restored, as I could eat anything put before
me, and as I regained ray appetite I Increased In weight,
and that "tired feeling," whioh worried me so much, dis
appeared, and I was onoe again my old self.
I heartily recommend S. S. 8. as the best blood purifier
and tonio made, and strongly ad vis Its uso to all those m
need of soon medicine. VICTOR STUBBIN8.
