Mart" worn ball.
Omaha's tam has made a little progress
during th week, and Is fuft getting Into
condition to do what we have a reasonable
Mght to expect from It. One of tde ehlef
feat ores of the return. of tfie team to Its
hom (round ha been the drvelnprm nt of
team play, which la now belnn drilled Into
th youngnter. This Is fur from perfect
yet, but la making progress, and an im
provement la notloeablo In the piny. For
some unaccountable reason, the 1ml ling lms
fallen off materially, eomo , of the mm
who wera looked to as genuine slnggi ra
having dropped bark Into the kindergarten
claaa once more. No reason enn be As
signed for thla, but there Is some comfort
lit the thought that the men feel that they
are not delivering the good, imd are ns
anxious aa any one ran be for the de.
slrad Improvement. In flehllfig the work of
all but Hhlpke haa been Rood. He haa had
a run Of decidedly tough luck since coming
home, and haa not played nearly an safe
an he did during the trip nbroml. He la
neither shirking nor aulklng, so hla piny U
not likely to continue at lta present low
ebb.
The statistic of the team's work are not
So satisfactory aa they might be. Still
It la batting at a good ells, unci fielding
fairly well. The ateady Improvement In
tha Melding figures Is the beat sign. Here
ta what the tab shows up to Friday night:

They'll soon be naming street after Joe
Dolan again. Ill work with the bat la
tip to hi true form, far ahead of. what he
usd to do for Omaha, but just the gait
he attack when he was the wonder of the
bia; league for two seasons. HI Melding
la Improving slowly In the percentage
column, but the cold figures do not give
any Idea of how brilliant It really Is. He
ha gone after everything In sight, and his
gsneral work ha been such a to fully
reinstate him In the good grace' Of local
fandero. Ha has settled down at last. I

OF THE WEEK
taking good care of himself, and announce
that he lx through with fooling from now
on. It Is a matter of biialnes with Joe, and
every reaaon exists for thinking that he
kitenda to be as good as his word. His
example is bound to have Its effect on th
teem work. nd Is already showing good
result. When Dolan Is right and willing
to play, he la as good na they make them
at the short stop position, and It cer
lalnly looks as If lie were right Just now.
Other members of the team have im
proved their lit Itl I tin figures during th
week. Wclrh and Miller anJ Thorns went
through the last five games without
bobble, but Carter and Oondlng each malt'
Hged to stumble Into an error. Bhlpke ha
had a hard lme, but hasn't- lost his oour
age as a result, and will be found Melding
with the best of them. He is playing a
hard game, going after everything, tif mat
ter In what place It Is, and ha knocked
down some mighty hard hits through his
activity. One of the errors charged to him
during the- Ies Moines Scries was cer
tHlnly the result of an umpire' blunder.
for It looked from the scorer' box a If
Hhlpke bad his man. He didn't handle the
ball cleanly, though, .and had to take the
blunt of It when the runner van called
aafc. Tlmmns Is doing Just what was ex
pected of him at first, but hasn't been able
to get them Into safo territory for some
days. Ho feels very blue over his poor
work nt the bat, but his prospects are a
good na they ever were, and he will be
omoiiK the .310 boys before. the season Is
very much older. Carter Is having some
trouble In 'the same respect, though he is
working ns hard as he ever did. It will not
he forever , with Nick, either, nor with
Dusty Miller, whose hit have been much
Interfered with by visiting fielder during
the last five games. Howard still shows to
some extent the lark of experience at eeC'
ond, but la doing a general run of work
that has made him Immensely popular. A
soon ns he learns the niceties of his post
tlon he will have a little something on all
the rest of the second basemen In the
blooming league. He la cool and quick, and
la thinking all the time. Harry Welsh I
"right" at last, and la playing the middle
Meld like a veteran and hitting a pretty
fair clip. Generally speaking the team I
doing right well in every respect except the
pitching staff.
Pfelater appear to be the goods. HI
wlldness on Friday wa due In a great
measure to the fact that he hadn't worked
any for ten days and .the bad weather, but
he mnde a -nice showing at that. Schafstatl
Is again nursing a sore shoulder, having
torn a ligament in a fall during practice;
IJebhardt's arm In suffering from the, ef
fects of hla hand work at Colorado Spring
and Denver: It Is not sore, but seems weak.
McCarthy Is In good condition, and so la
Companion, but neither haa shown first
chop pitching qualities yet. Rourke haa
not let up on his hunt for men, but Is still
dickering with National league manager.

when we will be playing Dee Moines on

more good pitchers, we will surely be in
the rare for th flag.

President Rourke is working hard to get
his men Into condition for the best possible
results, and expresses himself as much
encouraged by the spirit they show In their
efforts. He feels that he will be 1n the
race long before the present home aerie
ends. One of his efforts at present is to
revive the Interest of the women of Omaha
In the game. Iast season the fair sex
somewhat deserted the ball park. In order
to win them back Mr. Rourke has sought
to make ladles' day as attractive as pos
sible. He not- only provides a good ball
game on each occasion, bat gives the ad
ditional charm of good music, having hired
an orchestra to play while the game Is In
progress. . On Monday St. Joseph will be
here, and President Rourke Invites every
woman In Omaha to come out and occupy
a seat la the grand stand and see a good
game of ball free of cost. '
Lincoln 1 to have a base ball team thla
summer and Judging by the men who Jiave
been signed to play so far, It Is going
to be one of the strongest independent
organisations In the state. A large num
ber of the university men have engaged
to stay In the city and work during the
summer months and the team will start
off with at least seven of the strong men
who represented Nebraska university on
the diamond this spring. Tho university
team ployed but one gume In Omaha, that
against the Crelghton university . . team.
which was defeated by a score of 12 to 1.
Thla will give a alight Idea of tho sort of
ball the summer organisation that Is to
play In Lincoln can put up. The following
are the men who have been signed so far:
Bender, catcher; Morse and Adams., pitch
ers; Wilson, first base; Hammel, second
base; Rhodes, short stop; Steert, third
base; Fenlon, left Meld; Townsend, center
Meld; Bennet, right Meld. Rhodes and
Wilson are former university stars and
thus with the exception of Bennet, the
whole team will be muds up of university
players. Borne games have already been
arranged and the season will open at the
F. & M. park Decoration day. There Is no
state league this year, but no trouble is
anticipated In getting games, as a large
number of the town In the state have
already started organisation for this sum
mer and more of them will fall Into line n
the season advance. Any strong team In
the state that would like a game will be
given a chance to show what It enn do.
The team, as It Is now lined up, will bo a
stronger organisation than that which de
feated the Omaha league team early In the
season by th score of 19 to S. Manager
Bell haa been selling season ticket for the
past two week and the way they are be
lng taken up Insures a good patronage at
the sporting event.
COLORADO SPRINGS, May 14.-(Spe
clal.) More pitcher, more pitcher, I the
cry of the local fans, for It Is evident that
unless tha Millionaire include In their com
pany mora tried and trusty men of the
mighty arm there will b no western league
pennant waving In Colorado Spring on
September T6, 1904. When the team left
for the eaat last Tuesday evening they had
but three twlrlera and only one of the trio
was absolutely reliable. McNeely can be
depended upon to pitch hla share and a
little more, of the games, but Coon and
Akers, while they have ' done some good
work, are uncertain, a condition affecting
the serving department that cannot exist
If the aggregation la to 'win the bunting.
Manaager Jimmle Ryan haa signed Oscar
Clarke, ef tho Rock Islanders, and haa anr
other man In view who may have been
landed by thla time. The second man la be
lieved to be none other than George Vllle
man of laat year' team, who refused to
Ign this season because of a cut. In hla
salary. If the salary arrangement can be
adjusted and Vllleman secured the fan
feel that all will be well. Clarke la not
known here, but Is said to be a good one
by George Graham, formerly hi team
mate. Wood rich, the other member of the
local pitching- staff, was not taken east.
but remained here to see If he could not
round Into shape. Woodrlch has a wonder
ful slow ball, but exhibited nothing else
In tho portion of tha one game he ha
pitched.
With good twirling- there Is no reason
why the Colorado Springs jaim should not
lead them all a merry chase for the honors.
The weak condition of the department
Is what has the team now In second place
with prospects of going lower If things are
not remedied. The batting work of the
locals la above reproach and it probably
better than that of any other club,
Denver included. A compilation of th
Individual records up to and Including last
Tuesday's game shows that there are three
men batting above .400. They are Kahl,
who has been slugging at a .471 clip for
twelve games; Messltt. catcher, .418 for
twelvo games, and. Baerwald, catcher, .400
for one gams and a time at bat In another
game. Of th remainder of the team, five,
Kill, Blake, Ryan, Graham and Congalton,
stand above .300 and Radcllfr, substitute
lnflelder, and McNeeley, pitcher, are .260
or better. Coons, another pitcher. Is bat
ting at .200 for Mvo games. In fielding
Congalton and Blake, outfielder, have each
mada a perfect record for thirteen game.
McNeeley, Baerwald and Akers are also
In th 1.000 list Radcllft Is lowest In Melding-
with .864 for six games and Kahl I
next above wit his average of .368.
DE8 MOINES.. May li-(Speclal.)-WIth
the addition of a fast and experienced
catcher th Des Moines team will be in
shape to starti for the top of the ladder.
De Moines has been most unfortunate In
tha backstop department, having had three
men put completely out of th gam within
two weeks. When the team went to Omaha
but one man, Boals, a local amateur, was
In Mt shape to do the work. Somewhere
amid the packing houses Hotter picked up
a youngster named Clark. Des Molnas
folks don't know who Clark Is, but If be
keeps up the gait he has hit tbua far he
la good enough to hang on to, for the
time being at least.
Th local officials have sent telegrams
to half a dosen big league club asking for
a catcher, but as yet no reply has been
received, rhlladehphla would return Mar
shall to Des Moines, but Shettsllne wants
th earth and th local club hasn't got
It to give. He will let Marshall come to
Des Moines provided that an agreement I
signed giving the Phillies a string on th
big catcher at any time during th season,
with Ave days notice. Half of th draft
money has been paid the local club. If
Marshall comes the other half la not to be
paid and h Is to be returned to Phlladel-
phla at the end of the season. All this I
wanted for a catcher who I now Idling
back In Philadelphia.
Th local fana are simply aching for a
chance to get a crack at the Millionaire
and Tebau' Orlsslle on th De Moines
field. Th trouncing De Moines got In
both of the western towns waa a bitter
pill even though It Is aa old story. From
the sentiments expressed by he Omaha
players whan here laat week all of the
elubs are anxious to show what they can
do against tha western teams when down
on the plains.
Mlk Sexton, when her last week, said
that he thought Des Moines has a fast
bunch of player thla year and that they
will land near the top. He waa accused of
impls flattery, but with a deep blush

SPRINGFIELD, Neb.. Muy 14-To the
Sporting Editor of The Bee: I noticed you
account In laat Sunday' Be of the game
of base ball that Cy "Young pitched for th
Foatons against the Philadelphia, wherein
only twenty-seven men cam to bat; I also
note that you any: "In baae ball's Mfty
year of life thla feat lias been accom
pllahed but the one time." Without de
tractlng anything from Mr. Young and the
Poaton team, I desire to call your attention
to a game of baae ball played between
Springfield and Weeping Water, Neb., a
Springfield, on Saturday, September 7
01, an account of which appeared In The
Sundny Pee of September S, 1901, wherein
Pitcher Kddle Clement pitched a game and
accomplished the very same feat, besides
breaking the world's record for allowing
only twenty-seven men to come to bat
The game was played In Just one hour,
which also broke another world's record
I enclose you tabulated score aa It ap
peared In the local paper here in Its Issue
of September 12, 1901. I wish you would
have this score printed In next Sunday'
Bee, and very much oblige. Your very

Now that the scoring and Jockeying be
tween Tuthlll and Dennlson and the offi
cials of the Omaha Driving club has been
ended and the club is in full possession of
the right and title to the driving park, the
matinee fever has broken out In all kinds
of new spots among the horsemen of the
city, and there Is every prospect that th
meeting scheduled for Monday, May 80,
will be an eye as well as a season opener,
Of course, all the member of the club are
Intensely relieved that th uncertainty aa
to their acquirement 'of th track In time
for this summer' meets 1 at an end, and
the former owners and lessee must feel
mora settled In their midst, no matter
which end of the trade they got hold of.
Now It's up to the club to make good on
the kind of horse entertainment provided,
and there isn't a shadow of doubt but
what It will more than do It. The club
house project that refuses to be hushed up
or choked off Is In embryo. It is true, and
no on of the officials or' members wants
to commit himself by saying anything-
about it on way or the other. As a mat
ter of fact nobody can say anything definite
because the scheme la too muoh In Its In
fancy. But it's a healthy youngster and
th dearly beloved of every Individual
member of th club and every one of then
will go down deep In his pockets before he
will see It perish of Inanition.
It's a cinch that the day will com when
th Omaha Driving; club's perk and club
house and stables, and all the rest of It,
will be one of tha attraction of the town,
and when th ten plunks that It now coats
to become a member of this organisation
will not be a marker to what men will
tumble over themselves to give to become
members, without regard to whether they
know th difference between a sweat pad
and a hobble or not. It may not and prob
ably will not be on th site of the present
driving park, though they might go farther
ahd do worse. But it will be somewhere
and every turfman In tha city will pin to
that statement. Still, that's all In th dim
but not very distant future. What makes
all th owners of fast ones rub their hands
together and smile wide and deep and long
Just now is that they have got th word
and are off In a bunch for th final perfec
tion of plans. . They are building from th
ground up on a substantial basis, and will
eventually be In under the wire with th
best horse clubs in the country. Th plans
for the summer Include the Mrat meet on
May 80, as already announced, and on
very two weeks thereafter during th racing-
aeason; and then there will be apeclal
days and events, such as the ihowing here
Of Dan Patch, probably during or imme
diately after tha atat fair, and other
ultra-fancy performers.
Th question of whether an admission
fee should be charged to th matinees has
been decided In th negativo and In that
particular a good big bunch of the mem
bers think a mistake has been made. It
la probably true that any man who likes
to see a horse rao likes it well enough
to give a quarter for It, and would do so
all th more readily If th funds thus
g-alned were devoted to th hiring of a
band of music There will be no mualo
without th admission fee, except on state
occasions, and it Is possible that th club
will reconsider its action In this matter.
And th attendants of th races are not
th only ones to whom a band of musio
Is worth two bits apiece. Th drivers
drive better with it and th horses In
front of them go better for It There's no
question about that. Every driver will
say so and every horse would IX he could
talk. There' something about th right
kind of music that adds Just ss much to
a bora rao as It does to a funeral or
a Sunday school picnic.
Th entries for the first niatlne are
already filling and all the sllok one In th
city, marked and unmarked, beside sev
eral from Council Bluffs and South Omaha,
will be on hand to score In on of th
four classes that will be started. As in
days of yore, only half mile heats will be
trotted and tha clip of the four c.laasee,
A, B, C and D, will be something Ilk
.07. .08. .10 and IX They will all be
mixed races, which is a little hard on th
square trotter a against the pacer, but
th diversity of th classes will remedy
this to a great extent. It has not yet
been decided whether or not the winners
shall b awarded 'something In th shape
of a material trophy aa a whip, blanket 1
or ether article of hone clothing or util
ity, or the proverbial blu ribbon, it's
a pretty safe gamble tttat th ribbon,

Only those who have experienced the awful itching and burn
ing of IJczema can know how it feels to be consumed by the blis
tering, fiery acids oozing out through the pores of the skin.
There is no other skin disease that compares in severity with
Eczema. It begins as a mere redness of the skin, or comes in
little watery blisters and pimples, discharging a thin sticky fluid
which hardens into scabs and scales, leaving a raw and inflamed
surface as they peel off, while the itching is almost intolerable.
Eczema is the most vicious and violent of all skin diseases, ap-
peanng in many dmerent tonus ; uie ary ana scaiy kiuu whu
brownish white crusts, which gives the skin a rough leathery appearance, and producing some
times painful fissures and sores. In other cases the skin has a swollen, moist appearance, with
occasional profuse discharges of watery matter. But all the varieties and types of this aggra
vating disease are akin and are caused by impure blood aud an over-acid condition of this vital
fluid that seems to set the skin on fire, kindling a flame that water will not quench, and an
itching, stinging eruption that lotions, soaps, salves and powders cannot suppress. As the
poisonous acias in ine oiooa increase tuc erup
tion spreads and becomes more angry looking,
and the itching and burning more unbeara
ble. Eczema is the commonest of all skin
diseases, and the most aggravating and treach
erous, disappearing at times, then returning
suddenly and in a severer form than ever.
It is particularly bad in warm weather, be
cause at this season the skin is reacting and
the blood is making extra effort to throw off
the morbid secretions and acid impurities that
have been accumulating during the long win
ter months, and there is an over flow of the
acrid matter andacid poison through the pores,
producing irritation and redness of the skin
and all the terrors of Eczema. Soothing applications are beneficial and advisable, but not
curative, because the seat of" the disease is in the blood, and external or surface treatment can
not change bad blood into good blood or purge the system of impurities. Only a blood puri
fier can do this, and while treating the skin the blood must be looked after or the disease is sure
to return when the blood is again overcharged with acids. .
S. S. S. to purify and cleanse the blood, and some ncn-imtetmg, seething sas is
tonic properties that enter into the circulation and destroy the impurities, and at the tame time
tone up the general system. Skin diseases are, after all, only symptoms of impure and
vitiated blood and external signs of disordered systems, and -when yott care the blood the erup
tions disappear.
If you nave Eczema or any blood disease, sore or eruption, write jis an&ctlrfhysician will
crladly advise you and furnish any fnformation desired without cost to yon. Eolc on the Skin

shown a half around tha 0.12 mark or bet-;

In th pink of condition and will be sure to

when sha out-trotted C. N. Briggs' Adlne.
She is a handsome chestnut, square trotter
and has son along for a halt In about
eight seconds mora than a minute. This
year she will be a B class candidate. Mr.
Briggs has a green 4-year-old that he calls
Palmaltlo that, while ha Is an unknown
quantity as to speed. Is royal bred and
ought to develop Into a topnotcher. He Is
a showy bay, fifteen hands high and sired

Horaemen of Omaha will be interested
to know that Clinton H. Brlgga of thla

Thorndlna, 2:11H. together with Nadlne
and Mardine, two fast youngsters sired
by Thorndine, to the Faslg Tipton com
pany's sale In Chicago, which takes place
from May 17 to n. Inclusive, and is un
doubtedly the biggest fast horse sal In
th world. Shortly before he was shipped
Thorndine showed a half on th Council
BlufTs track In 1:084 without any prepara
tion, and It is believed by the Judg-es of
horse flesh In this city that when he comes
to be tried out on th Faslg track, as all
horses sold there are, preliminary to th
sal, that he will clip the half trotted by
th now famous Lou Dillon In 1:01, pre
llmlnsry to her sal on this same track
last year; In a brush from the wire Thorny
din has shown a quarter at a 1:52 clip
on th tracks about her on several oc
casions and his Chloago performance under
th hand of men who know how to get all
th apeed there is. Is awaited with no little
degree of Interest, not only by his owner
but by everyone else who. knows of his
wonderful abUlUes. None of them would be
surprised to se this Omaha horse devel
oped Into a world beater. He Is a hand
some fellow and the air of very many fast
ones in this vicinity.
It Is a source of often expressed wonder
ment to the casual observer of matters snd
things In and about Omaha that, with all
th automobile In th city for th pur
pose of pleasure and conveyance, that

wera in no wis or instance world record

already cropping up In every direction, and
among them are some good, husky speci
