Doing right well. '
For the last three or four wfki the
Omaha team baa been having up and down
with tha half-war mark, and It begin to
look as If a permanent location on the top
aid had at last .been made. Tha work of
tha team everywhere hut on base haa been
of tha moat commendabla aort. Betting la
steady and fielding brilliant, but tha
little point In baaa running- that used to
be aneh a feature of tha Omaha team'
work KtDi to be overlooked. Tet the tfam
la really doing good work, for It ha won
fourteen out of Its hurt twenty-two gkmea,
and that la surely championship form In
these days. Only Muggay MeGTaw's Giants
are beating .3 la the fight, and If the
Omaha team keep up tha gait It has now
truck It will not be any further away
from tha top at tha end of tha season than
It la now. and tha chanoes axe that It will
be nearer.
While In Das Moines tha other day Mr.
Thomas Burns, lata of tha firm of M Jc
Van Brunt, now managing the affairs of
tha Western leagua all by his lonesome,
confided to a reporter that next year the
"dormant" Milwaukee franchise would be
planted at Pueblo, and (he now "active"
St. Joseph franchise would be put Into
service at Cripple Creek. About the same
Ime Brother George Tebeau, who carries
a license from Burns, entitling him to
speak once a m.Mith, took occasion to en
dorse the Burns plan, and say that Pueblo
and Cripple Creek are the best ball towna
In the world unrepresented In a league. If
what we heard from Cripple Creek during
tha last few month la accurate. Its repu
tation aa a ball town la well founded, but
It Isn't base ball. It'a high ball or riflo
ball, and It's not at all attractive to on of
a peaceful habit Mr. Burns ssid that one
time ha took hla team up there and 1.700
people turned out to sea the game. That
crowd look mighty good to a. man from
Colorado Springs, but K win hardly do.
The Denver Tlmea jump ont this proposi
tion with the suggestion that the mag
nate might as well go ahead and plant
the other franchise In Colorado ana" bo
done with it, for Omaha and De Moines
will not stand for any such circuit. And
for once In his long and eventful career
a a base ball editor Shep was right.
Omaha la willing to go down tha Una with
Denver any time; we know that there's a
good ball town, and for many years we
have enjoyed the scrappiest sort of rela
tion with her, but w ar tired of tha
Colorado water tank aa fillers for a class
A league. Here' Colorado Springs with a
winning team, turning ever the guarantee
game after game to tha visiting team.
What would tha Spring do If the team had
landed where Stoux City did? Never. It'
not back to the wood for tha Willi ea, but
imply stay there. v
,irjust think of 160 people out te
a 1 to
0 gams, won by the home team. That'
a .
what St. Joe did last Monday, and It's to
the woods for the Mlssourlans, sure. That
good old town has been in moribund condi
tion for, lo, these last three seasons, and
all it needs now Is a few solemn word and
a clod or two of earth dropped slowly and
the sextons can go to work, while the pro
cession ride back to town. St. Joe'
dead one o far ss Western leagua baaa
ball concerned. y
' Speaking about sexton, our own Michael
' J. got busy over at Des Moines also, during
, the week, and proceeded to divide th base
ball universe. He didn't wast any more
- time than did tha pop when he settled
the dispute between Spain and Portugal.
On that occasion his holiness drew a lino
' around the world as near tha middle aa he
could locate It. All on one alda ha gave to
Spain and all on th other he handed over
to Portugal, and If anything else was lo
cated; these two great kingdoms had th
privilege of scrapping for it. Sexton has
divided tha bass ball map Into sones, and
has banished Denver to th limbo of a
league, with Cheyenne and Bait Dak City
for tha outlying towns. He landed Omaha
Jn tha west end of a new American circuit,
and generally fixed things up. As Michael
J.' plan waa merely an elaboration of
what The Bee printed last fall after the
St Louis meeting had adjourned, he will be
given full credit (or It It Is not a bad
Idea, though, and with a little modification
might well be worked out by the magnates.

OF THE WEEK
either St Joseph or Sioux City for th
eighth town, was a winner. St Joseph and
Sioux City have always ben weak spots In
a strong circuit. Sioux City la one of the
best baa ball towns, of Its tire In th
country, but It 1 too small to support a
team In really fast .company. St. Joseph
has always proved indifferent If th first
seven cities could be pat Into leagua
with Indtsnapolla for the eighth it would
be a circuit worth talking about, a rational
arrangement o far a traveling and other
features of tha game r concerned, and
one that would prove a money maker.
There Isn't a Jump In it that would neceset
tate the loos of a day In playing time on a
properly arranged schedule, and all the
towns ar evenly enough matched to be
splendid rivals. Just aa they were In the
good old day when the local fana used to
throw money to th players.
It' Jut a little early yet to ay what
the magnate will do. but one thing Is sure:
The base ball map la going to be changed
In the west
Talking about good thing, one of the
best thst was ever noted cam oft In the
first game of the Denver series Just closed.
Frees laid a sickly little grounder to
wards right. It didn't, roll quite to the
aecond base line. Pop Eyler wsa after it,
but Billy Hallman shouted "I've got It"
and came tearing In. He made a dive for
the ball and with th same motion threw
to Braun. Braun clasped his big glove
with his bar hand and everybody thought
Freese waa out. all but Caruther, who
motioned "safe," and then the crowd
looked, for th play had appeared per
fect, and there waa no chance for Frees
to beat the throw. Th caus waa soon
apparent. There lay the ball on the ground,
juat where It had atopped rolling. Ho.ll-
, man had mkised It entirely In his frantlo
j dash, and while he and Braun had gone
j through the motions perfectly. It waa but
J a shadow play, for the ball hadn't been
I touched, and what should have- been an
. easy out wa scored as a hit for Freese,
' the only one he got In the game. Even
j Hallman laughed at the outcome, and
Comedian Kenna joshed him all tha rest
of the game.
Omaha haa been treated to om hard
luck games during the last week, two 1
to ft contest going against us. Each v
a hard en to lose, but th little hit that
waa needed didn't com at th time. We
were allowed to see some very pretty work
by th pitcher In the field aa well as In
th box.Brown, who officiated In the place
of Thlel, made two really remarkable
catche In Thursday gam, and Roy Mil
ler, who ls-a pitcher by trad, saved th
gam for Denver by catching an appar
ently af drive to right after a hard
run. But It waa Hoatetter who really
touched oft th firework. H wa In at
hort for Denver In the game on Wednes
day, and Herman Long In his best day
..,Mn' hm hn tha same the vouna-
ster put up atthe position. His stops Were
all good, his throwing was peneci, ana
he made one of the awellest running catches
ever seen In Omaha. It waa off the bat
of SchJpke, a low fly elo to th foul
line. Both Hartxel and McHaJ were after
it and neither could get t It Hoatetter
lashed In between them at top speed, and
with outstretched arm managed to get
hi paddle on the ban and hold it. And
then, to show that he meant it, he whirled
and threw It to Braun at first true as a
die. It wa a really beautiful bit of work,
and brought Hoatetter a tremendous round
of-applauae.
It would be unfair and unjust If this
paper went to pra without making som
mention of th revision of th playing
rule adopted by TJmp. John Kelley and
put Into force at St Joseph during the
recent Tiatt of th Omaha team to that
charming hem ef the rest euro. Mr,
Keller hopes te have his rale ut In book-
form soon, but In order that the ether
umpires of the' league mar have advantage
of the researchea of the estimable gentle
man, th most Important of hla changes
wtU be her noted. First, Mr. Keller holds
that when a manager la put eft th ground
he 1 off until th umplt wanta him to
come back. . That Is. If he Is put out dur
Ing the first game of a double-header, he
oannot come back during the second.
Again, a pitcher . I not allowed to make
a qulok return of tha ball. He must wait
until both umpire and batter ar ready
before delivering the ball. Again, If a
inta wider seat.

ban should be thrown Into th bleacher
eats br a member of the home team, th
member of th visiting team oannot run
bases while the ball la out of play, and If
thy undertake to do so they ar out The
application of this rule cost Omaha a gam
at St Joseph. Jn enforcing hi rule Mr.
Keller met with some opposition from th
member of both teams, who ar accus
tomed to playing according to th rules
adopted by the National association, and
are not onto the curves of the Kelley
brand. The result wa that an average
of three to the game were chucked out
On one occasion Mr. Kelley benched Man
ager Webster of the Faints In the ninth
Inning, after two were out and two atrlke
had been called on th batter, with no
one on banes. Only on more ball was to
he pitched; but "You're out of tbe game"
roared Honest John In response to Web
ster's suggestion that the pitcher get
'em up.
Omaha took part in eight games during
the week ending Friday night and four of
the eight were of the fierce pitchers' bat
tle sort Two of these were lost by the
score of 1 to 0, one was won by a score
ef t to 0 and one waa won by a score of t
to i. In these games the Rourke family
faced th prettiest pitching the best twirl
era In the league outside of the local staff
can show, Kodon, Chlnn, Eyler and Hoa
tetter. snd when this fact Is given due
connideratlon and the fact that five of the
eight game were played under Kelley'
new rules, it will appear quite satisfactory
that Omaha won five and lost three. And
at that the batting average of the team
fell off but three points. The change In
position waa helped by Bobby Carter
greatly, and that name may be looked
for In the neighborhood of the .S00 mark
before long. Welch fell Just one hit shy
of getting into the list. Freese kept him
self there, but Dolan, Thomas and Howard
all went off a lUtle In their showing. The
ftelllng wa of the finest sort, every man
on the team improving his standing. Bobby
Carter hasn't made an error since the
4th of June, snd he has taken all sorts of
chances. He Is In every game and covers
a world of ground. If he Isn't entitled to
his support at home nobody is. Welch dis
tinguished himself at St. Joseph by get
ting In two ssslsts in one game, Jumping
his total for the season to six. Th sta
tistics afford quite a bit of food for thought
and some consolation this week. Here they

Walt till some of those outsiders visit
Omaha for the middle west tennis cham
pionship, especially those who ar inclined
to have a poor opinion of th racket wleld
r of thl city. Won't they have some
eye openers? Thl last tournament for the
city championship haa shown that there
ha been a very decided Improvement
among; all the players, and the outside
bunch who will be coming soon with the
expectation ef belnsT served to a aerlea of
dinky llttl lob. win get th surprise of
-their live. Of course, they may have Im
proved correspondingly. If they have the
better will be the sport, but they will re
quire all th cunning ef which their right
hand ar capable to down the local boy.
Another encouraging point 1 th fact of a
number of player of more than ordinary
kill. In former middle west championship
game Omaha looked to one or two special
men t make a good showing for the city,
but now there are at least half a dozen tip
topper.
There are Chase, Toung, Kohn, Scrlbner,
Pollard. Caldwell, Schneider, all rattling
good player and from whom much la ex
pected. Con Toung doe not see hi way
open t play thJs year, but even with this
lost Oraxha ought to do wall. Chase, for
Instance, after bis short rest is back again
at th net, and in hi practice matches
during th last few days la be'ter than
ever before. On account of hla losing In
th tourneys during th season there seem
to be an opinion that he gets rattled in a
match. This 1 far. from being so. Take
th opening tourney, when he played In the
final with Con Toung. Did he show any
signs of nervousness. Not a bit Hi chief
fault seemed to be over -confidence, and
though he lost he gave Con a run for
those military hair brushes. In his other
matches he was beset by a continued run
of hard luck, and then again he played
when he ought to have been resting, filnce
his first match with Toung there haa been
a steady improvement in his play. His
placing, which won him many a game at
the outset of the season, is far better than
ver It was, and unlea he breaks down al
together this part of his play will tell con
siderably in th middle west championship.
ocriDner Is another dangerous man. and
although b got licked In tha preliminariea
yi th city championship. It I no reason to
think of him aa a has-been. Bat a week
befor hi defeat he won a tourney, and
won hand down. Art I an erratic player,
but n hla best form he is a player that
take a mighty lot of work to beat
Herbert Kohn 1 a player that can be de
pended on and he haa shown up well in
every, match, and though he has not won
any of tbe tourneys this season he" bas,
nevertheless, shown up near the finals In
every on. A for Caldwell, there I a bit
of doubt about th shewing he will make,
a he ha had but little practice thl seal
on. But lately h haa been making up for
thl loss of !m by hard work at th net
and at th rate he haa been improving he
will oortalnly do well.

Advices from the Ottumwa handicap
show that the green pace stakes were

bought by Al Pepper, who, In writing of
the race, say the Kid won the three heat

abilities there will two boat sent from

the double rudder with which it was fitted
early In the season, but which nave since

and what will certainly cause some strenu
ous racing, la th fact that there come a
report from th Lotus Tacht club of St.
Joseph that we may hav to buck up
against the Lotus again, a they are try
ing to arrange to send It to Oshkosh also.

aboard and swamping the boats, which
means that sailing will be almost Ilk to
old log-rolling contests, as the boats' crews
will have nothing to hang onto except a
smooth deck from item to stern.
The inland lake races are the largest
meet in the country, there being about fifty
boat clubs entered. 'They are the event of
the year at Oshkosh and great plan ar
made for them each year. There Is a spe

regular racea commence Monday the 22d,

ailed, each boat receiving so many points
for place.
TTIe O'tobojl Tacht club is now trying to
debut into the local circles and planning
to take a fall out of the sailors here. They
have asked for a race, to be sailed on
Okoboji about August 16, but as the boats
are to be shipped to Oshkosh on tho IStk
nothing could be arranged for this year.
They have been formally notified of tha
fine large cup that is at the boat club
here, almost but not quite, nailed there to
stay, and they are planning to challenge
for it next summer. Some on will get
that cup 'some of these fine days and take
these local cranks off of their perch.
