START MADE INDICATES GOOD SEASON When an American boy reaches a certain age he likes to look right at any time you don't like to see him go through his clothes like a whirlwind. "Kantwearout-IIercules"' clothes will satisfy you both; satisfy your boy because they are "mannish" clothes and fit him 'like a top," as he would say; satisfy you because they 6tand hard knocks when he gets play ful in his boyish way. Straight cotton, or its mercerized brother, are as far removed from "Hercules" clothes as America Is from Japan every thread is spelled W-O-O-L. You can buy Boy' suits cheaper than the "Hercules" but you fet vhat you pay for cheaper suits that don't wear half as long. "Hercules" suits, made as they are, couldn't be made for a penny less. If you believe tn the right sort of economy In Boys' clothes ask for a "Hercules" next time. Every garment labeled "Hercules."

The champions will be at home to opeu the ktason just a week from Monday, and a routing welcome is certainly being prepared for them here. If the weather is at all favorable, the unfurling of the first pennant that ever flew over an Omaha liae. ball park will be witnessed by a throng- that will tent the capacity of the ground. President Rourke has arranged fur a most tit tine observance of the day. and proposes to make it a date long to be remembered In local base ball history. No parade uptown will be undertaken, but the exercises at the ground will include a march of both the Dcs Moines and Omaha teams, the latter In their nrlght new uni forms, which will be donned for the first timo that day. A military band will head the parade, which will be across the ball Meld to the flagpole In centerficld. Here appropriate ceremonies will be observed, and the flag will be unfurled. It Is a beau tiful and costly piece of bunting that has been furnished by the league, as those who have looked at it in the show window at Bennett's know, and will make a proud display over the green In the outer Held. After the fiag has been flung to. the breeze the teama will return to the diamond, where a short address will be made by Acting Mavor Zimman and President O'Js'ell of the 'Western league will make a few remarks. The acting mayor will pitch the first ball to the league president, and the season of 1905 at Omaha will be opened. It is the present belief of the management that the interest will be auch that many people from outside of Omaha will take advantage of the offer of special rates by the railroad and attend the opening game. The start In the Western league was not Oufte as auspicious as could be wished. Weather prevented the opening game at Colorado Springs and Sioux City, but Denver turned out a handsome crowd to greet the Des Moines visitors, and the home team won after a hard fight. The enthusiasm of the Denver papers over the start speaks much for the prospects of the game out there this season. At Colorado Springs the first game was played Thursday and was easy for Omaha. The attendance was light, due to the bad weather. Sioux City certainly Bliowed up Pop Eyler at the start, but that doesn't Indicate that the old boy's pitching days are over, not by a good deal. It Is well to remember that Cy Young, the king of them all, has pitched the opening game for his team for the last five seasons and hasn't won one of them. Give Eyler time and warm weather and he'll show some of the youngsters how to throw the spit ball. At Sioux City the opening day was made a general holiday, and the citizens turned out in force. Altogether, it only remains for Omaha and Dea Moines to ehow their hands, and If the expressions heard Indicate anything, they will present record crdwds at the opening games. Dee Molnea waa threatened by the constables and deputy sheriffs with prosecution If Sunday games were attempted, owing to the refusal of the managers to provide the officers with sea son passes. Manager Cantilion aays lie has been assured by the authorities that the attempt will be. thwarted.. Sunday games will still go at Dea Moines. The tennis committee of the Omaha Field club hopes to have four of the new courts In readiness for the players by next Saturday. The Field club players are champing at the bit and are anxious to get the racquets out and begin play. There will be seven courts at the Field club grounds when all the improvements shall have been made. The tennis department will be better than ever. The courts are being leveled off In splendid fashion and each court Is being equipped with tile draining, so that play may be resumed In much shorter time after a rain than here tofore. Work Is progressing nicely on the new Young Men's Christian association courts at Twentieth and Farnam atreets. The newly organized association tennis club will meet again next Tuesday evening at the association rooms. Con Young of the Field club tennis aee tlon received a fine racquet last week from Kreight Collins of Chicago. Mr. Col Hub Is at present one of the best tennis players In this country. He has been selected as one of a squad of five to rep. resent this country In the international tennis tournament to be held In England during next August. Wright & Ditson'a Dawn Tenuis Quids for 1905, Just out, contains extended men tion of Omaha's middle west tenuis toum ament, which waa held on the Field club courts last August. The new porch being built at the Omaha Field club grounds will accommodate larger crowd than the old ono and will be A great convenience to the tennis players. The Ft. troix lentua club held a very Interesting meeting last Thursday evening and the mcmbera were very enthusiastic over the prospects of iennis for the com Ing season. A committee was appointed to have plans drawn for a suitable club house with locker rooms and shower bath, the members present subscribing tGOO to fur ther tholr plans. The St. Croix club nieni bersbip will not exceed sixty-five members and as the asms la being rapidly filled, any one desiring to make application had best do so at an early date. Tho demand for good courts and accommodations at a nnm Inal price has never as yet been success fully met in Omaha, and this club intends having the fastest courts in the city and possibly In the west. The club will hold prize tournaments throughout the season both handicap and otherwise, which will give the beginners as much show for prize as the oldtimers. There will bo meeting of the Hub next Tuesday evenini May 2, 1906, at 3:4 South Fifteenth street at which the committee on plans will re port, and any one desiring information garding the club can address J. fturr Ta lor.

Fair golfers from the I'nlted States may Invade England In an unexpectedly large body 'his rptina to tnke part In the cham pionship of Great Britain, which will be held at Cromer May C9 to June 3. Since the visits of Miss Rhona Aflslr and Mis Charlotte pnd in l'4 much Interest has been taken In International nmtchea by the women golfers of this country. Miss Adair and Miss Dod are the women cham pions of Oreat Prltaln, Mist Adair winning In 13l and Miss Dod In 1!H. Not only de lighted at forming the acquaintance of the visiting golfers, American women have been so much encouraged by their play against them that they have been led to believe that they can make at least a cred itable showing If, unlike Walter J. Travis, they fall to win a foreign championship. To win the championship of Great Britain Is practically equivalent to winning the championship of the world, and for that reason tha trln of so larae a party of American women to the other side of the ocean will be a topic of great Interest not only In the United States but throughout England and Scotland. Miss Rhona Adair has said of Mlsa Margaret Curtis and Miss C. T. Stout, two American players, that they are as gnod as any of tho women who golf in Great Britain, so It is not out of the bounds of possibility that an American woman may succeed In accomplishing whnt an American man did last year. The meet ing of tho Dadles' Golf union will be held this year at Cromer May 29 to June 3. The club boasts of the title Royal Cromer Golf club and was Instituted In 18ST. The course is right on the coast, on what are known -as the lighthouse hills. The first teo Is not far from the lighthouse, and the players make the circuit of, the eighteen holes over one of those splendid bits of golfing country, which has the right to be called links, found on the east coast of ngland. Cromer is a watering place on tho north coast of the county of Norfolk. The championships of the union have been on as follows: 1893. 1VH and 1896. Dady Margaret Scott; 189tS, Miss Amy Pascoe; 1897, Miss E. C. Orr; 1898, Miss Dena Thompson: 1899, Miss Hezlett; 1900, Miss Rhona. Adair; 1901, Miss Graham; 1902, Miss lezlett; 1903, Miss Rhona Adair; 1904, Miss Dottle Dod. Play In the slxtn annual championship of the New Jersey State Golf association will be held on June 1, 2 and 3 at the North Jersey Country club course. Archi bald Graham waa the first holder of tha tie. Successive, champions since have oeen Allan Kennedy (twlco), M. M. Mich ael and J. Murray Oliphant, jr., of Prlnee- on, who now holds the honor. The length of the course is 5,765 yards, and Graham haa the amateur record at Beventy- one. The prizes include a low score medal and team prize in the qualifying ecord, a gold medal for the winner in each eight at match play to the eighth set ono for each eight in the first sixty- four of the qualifying round as well as closing medal play handicap. The num ber of starters have ranged from 120 to 160 each year, over twice as many as In the more conservatively conducted Metro politan Golf association championship. Fercy Jackson of the Yountakah club Is president of the New Jersey State Golf association and heads the tournament com mittee.

They me setlin automobiles these days and showing good to prospective customers. One of the dealers has a placard reading, "Keep busy," tacked In front of his desk.

A large percentage of the visitors to tne auto estaDiisnmenta are from out of town, and it la a surprisingly large per rentage.

Louis Ross has here tofore refused to drive the car in auto mobile race meets, and this car has been seen only at Boston, Providence and Flor iaa. in consequence curiosity has been aroused. Extensive improvements have been made at the Brighton Beach race track In anticipation of the coming meet. Ihe turns will be resurfaced with loam which packs hard and Is practically dust leHS.

Spring foot ball practice is to be estab lished at the University of Nebraska dur ing the coming week. "A decision to this ffee.t has been announted by Captain Borg after a consultation with Assistant Coach Westover and ex-Captuin Benedict. West over, because of his greater experience, will be In charge of the practice, which ill be installed next Monday and continue every afternoon on the athletic neia ror two weeks, or during the absence of the Nebrauka base ball team on Its long east ern tour. Spring practice has not been i part of Coach Booth's curriculum since four years ago, at which time he was an instructor In the athletic department of the university and spent all of his time in Lin coin. In recent years he has been practic ing law in New York, only coming to Lin coin during tho foot ball season. He is heartily in favor of spring preparation and it was On his counsel that the athletic au thorities authorized Borg and Westover to take charge of the reinstallation of spring work. The maiming of ex-Cpataln Benedict, who is eligible for another year of fool ball, as result of the Iowa game last fall, will make it Incumbent upon Booth to develop new kicker, and the chief object of the spring practice will be to try out the men at booting the ball. Benedict has suffered from water on the knee ever since the lows game and It Is very doubtful if he ever entirely recovers, much less that hs will be able to don tha moleskins in Booth's squad next September. Three or four of the veterans from lust year's CornhuBkers In the estimation of Assistant Coach West over, are good material in- the kicking; line, and these men will be given especial atton tlon, although there Is every indication that twenty or thirty anplrants will get into his department of the practice. As a spe clal Inducement a local Jeweler has offered handsome silver loving cup us a first prize for the greatest degree of proficiency; Two other prizes have been hung up by the athletic board. Edgar Cotton, who stirred things up during a week's practice on the Yale squad and then came back to rejoin Booth, after which he developed Into one of the best tackles Nebraska has ever pro duced, is a likely candidate for first hon ors. On the kickoff he Is especially profi cient.

Although OUrleld unquestionably re deemed himself after his defeat by Barn I and Sattori St Brighton Beach last fall lie wants another race before the New Tork public. Gldfleld still pins his faith to the Peerless Green Dragon which he used last summer, and with which he defeated every driver with whom he raced, and which he also piloted when he created all the trac records from one to fifty miles.

Two weeks' daily instructions In the preliminaries of foot ball should do the new men a lot of good, and Westover and Borg are hopeful that the spring prac tice will prove a decided benefit to the chances of the Cornhuakers on the gridiron In 1905.

Five years afterward Dion Bouci cault in London slightly changed the form of the piece and strengthened its domestic interest. From that one play Joseph Jef ferson realised between $3,000,000 and J3, 000,000. The success of the comedy was so great and bo continuous that Jefferson could not drop it as the years and decades went by, but the time came when the monotony of its nightly production wore Into the very soul of Its creator. It was to escape from Its thralldom that he brought out that other famous character of his, Bob Acres. Jefferson's Farewell Messase. The announcement of the veteran actor's decision to retire came latrt October. It was made quietly to his family. "I shall never act again," he said. "My days upon th stage are ended." Once the decision was made, and its first feeling of solemnity had passed, Mr. Jefferson became more cheerful. "It will seem strange at first to act no more," he added, "but I shall soon get used to that, and I shall begin to enjoy what I have looked forward to these many years, my long, long holiday, In which I shall en joy unlterruptedly nature In outdoor life, my paintings, my books and pleasant com panionship with wife, children nnd dear friends. I begin my holiday at last." In a newspaper interview about that time Mr. Jefferson gave out the following mes sage to the world: "I am 75 you know, and so, no doubt, am entitled to be old and I have been a little weak of late, I'll admit that but, isn't it funny, I feel as young as a boy? I was warned, you know, not to tire 'myself talk ing to you, and I would not do anything to displease the nuree or the dear ones about me, but I enjoy all this just a little bit ex cited or warmed up, but it's all right. "I'm leaving the limelight to go Into the sunshine and I leave a blessing behind mo and pray for a blessing before me. It has been dear to me that life of Illuminated emotion and it has been so magnificently repaid. If I could send an eloquent message to ths world I would, but somehow words fail me when I try to say It. I hsve been doubly repaid by the sympathetic presence of the people when I waa playing and the affection that seems to follow me, like the sunshine streaming after a man going down the forest trail that leads over the hills to the land of morning. No, I can't put it in words." Then a gleam of humor broke across the wistful face and he. said: Perhaps It's a good thing to quit the stage before the people have a chance to change their mlnda about me. 'I belonged to the stage from bir'h. My son Tom is the nttn or tne lino or acting Jeffcrsons from the first who pluyed with Garrlck. lies playing 'Rip.'

It Is In a state of transition, just as It has always been and always will be. It goes from bad to woree, then from worse to better, and no arrives once more st good.
