May 14. 1905. THE OMAITA ILLURTHATED BEE. SPORTING GOSSIP OF WEEK Omaha Team Makin? Tina Showing In Everything Bit Kitting. CONCERTED PLAY IS ALMOST PERFECT Defensive and Offensive Tactics of the Champion Much Knjoyed by Those Who Admire Snappy Bane Ball. 7 Jogging along. If anybody Isn't satlefied with the show ing the Omaha team has made up to date let him tnke a peck at the files of a year ago and boo where the Itourke family was at that time. That ought to answer any complaint that may arise from the present performances. The great trouble so far has been weak hitting, and this will cer tainly be t-hanged for the better very soon. It Is not In the nature of things that a man like Thiol will be draKKlnn along In his present notch for any great length of time nor will Welch, Dolan and Carter be hold down to their unusual low percentage of safeties. Schlpke In showing better form, while Gondlng and Thomas are hitting around what is to be expected of them. Martin has hardly been with the team long enough to establish himself, but he has straightened out enough curves to warrant the belief that ho will be a satisfactory batter before the season has very far pro gressed. The fielding of the team has been most satisfactory, while the general team work has been of the highest order, a fact that promises much for the course of the champions during the season. A fan who saw the opening game In Denver says he never saw nicer work than that of Omaha, and President O'Neill, after watching tho team work at Colorado Springs, Denver, Dea Moines and Omaha, says he thinks the general work of Omaha Is extraordinarily high class. He praises tho fielders and ays the other teams all have their work before them tn a game against Oinaha. Papa Bill Is not at all downcast by the slump In hitting, for he has faith that tho Improvement will come. He knows that for the present things have been breaking a little badly for his team, but the faith of long experience buoys him up and he looks for a better fjlaco In the standing table long before Omaha leaves home. He was a trifle downcast over the loss of the first game at home, but he realizes that the re sult was changed by a slight favor of for tune that might as well have leaned to ward Omaha as toward Des Molens, and was in nowise Indicative of the strength of the teams. He credits Omaha with hav ing the chance It had at the beginning of the season and, without discounting the strength of his opponents, he still feels confident of winning In the end. And one who has watched the course of the team can well understand this confidence, taking into account the magnificent pitching staff and splendid fielding organization of the Champions. After a swing around the circle, President O'Neill expresses himself as being thor oughly confident of the success of the Western league for the current season, Everywhere he has found the people taking an Immense Interest In the game, the sup port accorded each club boing of the most satisfactory kind. The Spirit of the club owners Is well voiced by Tommy Burns of Colorado Springs, who says he Is after the pennant, and that if the players he has cannot win he Is going to get players that can win, no matter what they cost With this determination on the part of each of the club owners, the race Is sure to be a fight all the way and not a proces Ion. This will keep the public Interest well up all the time, and Is sure to make the season of 1906 the most satisfactory in the league's history. Bight here a word to Manager Mike Can-: tlllon of Des Moines: The people along the circuit admire a scrappy ball player, an aggressive fighter, who plays the game from end to end, and Is always on the alert; but they also know the difference between such a player and a rowdy, and rowdy ball doesn't win friends In the Western league. If he wants to hold his friends and secure their patronage he will have to put a stop to the tendency shown by some of his team while In . Omaha. The kicking of Qanley and Hogrlever sent many people away from the games who will not go back when Des Moines is in Omaha, because they were disgusted by the hoodlum tactics by these men. Hogrlever Is not a youngster, and his elevation to the position of captain ought to aid him In restraining his tongue. On Wednesday he Indulged in such con tinued profanity and vulgarity that he came very near being put off the grounds by the police in the Interests of decency. Cantlllon might as well understand light at the start that Omaha will not stand for such exhibitions. If he wants his team to draw patronage when here he must make his men curb their tongues, and behave' themselves like gentlemen during the game. This does not mean that they are to tamely submit to any abuse that may be visited on them, but it does mean that any oliJ-;C- tlon they feel like raising must be done In a way that will not Insult the people In the grandstand, who have paid their mm y to see a ball game, and on whose patronage base ball in Omaha depends. The lost art of base running has expe rienced something of a revival, especially around Omaha. The daring steals that used to be to much a part of the game are ana In In evidence, and Carter, Thiol and other members of the team are making niU' h trouble fyr the opposing catchers an 1 basemen. This is one of the most attractive features of the game, and the cool, skill ful base running that has enabled Omaha to score the runs that hnve won the games for It this season has done more to make the exhibitions enjoyable than anything else. Next to the quick, snappy fielding of the team as a whole, the careful work on bases, with the dash and ginger that gets the runs out of nothing and turns to account every mlscue of mind or body on part of the opposition Is winning for tho Champions not only the enthusiastic sup port of the fans, but the wholesome respect of the other fellows. Add to this the un erring throw of dondlng to first and second, which practically shuts off any effort of the visitors to duplicate the feats of the Omaha runners, and you have a combina tion that Is most enjoyable. When that bunch gets to hitting even a little bit. It will lie a call for help along the line. Inci dentally, the error list that Is being piled up in but an evidence of the zeal of the players, for they are going after every thing. "Take all the chances the game offers," Is the general Instruction from the president this year. Not only Is every hit run out to the finish, but every time the other fellow hits the ball an Omaha fielder gets after It. And that's tho sort of work that wins pennants and makes friends. An association iesUued to do considera ble good In Its line is the American Motor leRgue with headjjaittrs In New York City. Its principle object is to encourage the safe and proper use of automobiles, It favors the holJlng of auto speed con tests under proper conditions, but Is op posed to all forms of racing on tho public- highways and to the dangerous speeding of the motor vehicles on the roads and streets. It aids the movement for lm proving public roads and alms to Secure fair and reasonable legislation laws thit will protect everybody and nrpose non The league is one of the largest national bodies of Its kind in the world and Is represented In forty-four states and 703 towns. Negotiations are ?till under way for the St. Croix tennis olub house, but the back ward weather of this spring has held the members back from handing in their names as members and the finances are not In Just the best possible condition for the building pf the proposed house. If all of the men who have signified their Intention of Joining the club would come forward with their names, there would then be euough to go ahead and build the house. Flans are In the hands of the promotors for the construction of a house 24x10, with wide verandas and well supplied with lockers and bath, plumbing and all com plete for $.150. To arouse an Interest In the sport and to get the boys together to consider the plans, a smoker has been ar ranged for Tuesday night of this week, Earl Farnsworth, the Nebraska TJnl verslty boy who was runner up for San derson in 1902, writes from California that he will be In Omaha with several Denver tennis players for the Mid-West meet In August. Rain has kept the players off the Field club courts during the past week but they wlil be put In condition as soon as the rainy season goes by. The courts are all In splendid condition at the St, Croix grounds so that the only expense to the members of the club this year would be the construction of the club house. The Young Churchman's club, which was organized some time ago among the Episcopal churches of the city for the promotion of outdoor amusements among the younger members of the churches, has perfected the organization of a base ball league, which augers well from the start. The churches represented In this club are the Church of the Good Shepherd, St. Mathlas, St. Barnabas, Trinity cathedral, St. Paul's of Council Bluffs, St. Phillip the Deacon's and St. Martin's of South Omaha. Each church olub has two base ball teams, one chosen from the young men and the other from the choir boyB. It Is planned to play six games each Saturday, each choir boy team playing another choir team and the seniors playing the same way. Four grounds are utilized each Saturday for games, one la Kountze place, another the old circus grounds at Twentieth and Paul streets, one Id South Omaha and the other in Council Bluffs. The scheme of play Is to carry out a regular schedule, each club playing with the other the same number of games and at the end of the season the winners will be supplied with suitable trophies and a dinner by the losing teams. Field day sports will be taken up by the club and a healthy Interest aroused In all classes of amateur sports. The Racquet club will not close for the summer, but will be utilized nearly as much In the winter, on account r me piun bath, which is the pride of Its members. While the weather 1m too hot In summer r the members to play racquet or squash ball, the mfe will be maintained for lunches ml the water In the immense swimming pool will be kept nt an even temperature, so that members can come at nil hours nd enjoy the blessings of a delightful wlm. TltH swimming pool at the cluo house Is -TixW feet and Is supplied wan filtered water, ranging from three to seven feet in depth. Tho Immense filter put in last fall at an expense cf r.50 Is not quite atisfactory and four additional stone inters will soon be added to make the water per tly clear. It Is maintained at a tem perature of 70 decrees all the time, ine women are granted the complete freedom of the club house in the forenoons, und hey are negotiating for a swimming in structor, so that the pool will be in u?e a good share of the tlrnu. In the fall the games of racquet and squash bull will be resumed. There promises to be great activity among Harvard golfing circles this spring. All but one of the members of last year's team which Von the intercollegiate championship are back in college, and there U a wealth of new material. The university champion ship will be held over the course of tho Oakley Oolf club during the month and In- terclass mutches will bo played at tho Brookllne Country club on May IS and l'J. Although the intercollegiate tournament does not occur until October a number of matches have been arranged for the team. They aie as follows: May IB, Brookllne Country club at Brookllne; May 17, Fall River Golf club at Fall River; May 30. Massachusetts State association at Myopia. The Illinois Athletic club of Chicago Is considering the proposition to hold the Na tional Amateur Athletic union track and field championships there In July. Appli cation has been made for a sanction and If it Is granted the contests will be held in Lincoln park. The meet will be free to the public and the expenses will be borne by public subscriptions and the sale of re served seats. A prominent officer cf the club says: "We are of the opinion that such a meet would bo an Immense success. If we can secure the sanction from the Amer ican Athletic union, which we have been after now for several weeks, we will go ahead with the work. We would have the meet the last of July, to give us about ninety days to get ready for It. It will be a unique affair in that it Is given In a public park and will awaken a new Interest la athletic sports in Chicago." Barney Oldfield, the champion, is to bo tho star at the opening meet of the Mori-it Park Racing club, to be held nt the Brighton Beach track on May 0. Oldfield does not Intend to take part in the open races. He will attack the one-mile record and probably other marks and will en deavor to lower the figures from 0:53 to 0:50 if possible. The champion is agreeable to match racing and is prepared to go against any one and place his champion ship title in question. There is a suspicion that little Joe Nelson has an eye on the championship and that Oldfield would havo no difficulty In securing a match race for May 20, provided he would arrange for such a contest. The Lightning Bug holds tho mile competitive record of the world, 0:41 , made straight away at Ormonde, while Oldfield holds the track record. If matched Oldfield and Nelson, both old-time cycling champions, will give a contest such as has never been seen, as both drive fast cars and both are daring In the extreme. The program for the opening meet at Morris park on May 20 consists of the Corinthian mile for all classes, the cars to be driven by owners and the drivers to owners, as described by the racing board, tho trophy being valued at $100; a mile exhibition by Barney Oldfield, a two-mile middleweight race of cars of 881 to 1,432 pounds, with trophies of $100 and $40 In value; a three mile free-for-all with trophies of a value of $100 and $50 to the first and second, and a three-mile contest for touring cars of thirty horse-power and less, each car to carry three passengers and the cars to line up with dead engines, starting with the pistol fire. In this contest the passen gers will be unloaded at one mile and picked up at two miles. The closing event will be a five mile handicap race, all classes, with Barney Oldfield barred. Octobr 14, Morris plre City; October ! Park; October 21, Era Brighton Beach. v Teams representing tlerman, French, Italian and American manufacturers are now assured for the second running of the Vnnderlillt rup race. The first entry from the land of the kaiser was received this week by Robert Iee Morrell, chairman of the cup commission. The car Is a Mer redes of K"ii-horseiower. owned by Robert Oraves of New York City and entered In the name of the Automobile Club of Ger many. The Frenchmen are to send out five cars, selecting from the eliminating trials for the international cup which are sched uled for July 5. The full team of five Flats has been assured through the American agents, Hollander & Tuugeman of Man hattan. The American entries .thus far are a Franklin, two rope-Tolelos and a Loco mobile. Among other entries sre thoso of Premier, Ford, Peerless, Christie, Winton, Royal and Thomas cars. The attention of American lawn tennis players Is centf red upon the preparations of their team for the International matches for the Davis cup, which nre to take place In England this summer. Holcorr.be Ward, the American champion In both singles and doubles, has been selected as captain of the players to be sent abroad by the National Lawn Tennis assoclntlon. The International committee of the national association, which is composed of Dr. James Dwtght, P.obert D. Wrcnn and Richard Stevens, was re quired under the International regulations to namo tho members of the tenm by May 1, and It tabled to England the names of Ward, Larncd, Wright and W. J. Clothier. There Is some question as to whether three or four men will he allowed to play and until this is settled It Is not certain whether Wrlcht or Clothier or both will go. Tho original deed of Flft of the cup permitted four players to compete on each team, but an effort has recently been made by the English authorities to Rrnend these condi tions. The Americans still contend for the right to name four, while the continental players back up the demands of the English to limit the teams to three. In any case Wanl and Itrned will k-o to England this spring and It Is likely that Wright will be left behind If only three go. However, the selection of the players for singles and doubles from the American team will be left to Ward, the captain, nnd his decision will not be announced before the time of the beginning of the play In July. It Is more than likely that Lamed and Ward will play In singles and Clothier In doubles, with the freshest of the other two. The program calls for two matches in singles the first day, a match In doubles the second dav and two more matches In singles the third day. Teams have been also entered In the International matches from Aus, tralla, France, Belgium and Austria. A preliminary series will bo played this year to decide which of the five nations shall havo the right to challenge the British holders of the world's championship. The draw took place some weeks ago In Lon don and resulted very unfavorably for the Americans, since they will have to beat all of the best teams before they can meet the Englishmen. In the preliminary round the Americans meet the Belgians, then the winners play tho French In the somi-flnals, while the Australians are rlaylng the Aus- trlans. The winners of these two semi finals will come together In the final round for the right to challenge the British team. The United States Golf association has presented to the Intercollegiate Golf asso. elation a perpetual challenge cup, to be in scribed each year with the name of the winning team In the Intercollegiate tourna ment. This cup. In addition to the regular championship cup. will be awarded for tho first time at the Intercollegiate tournament next fall. Six yachts are now being built, three In defense and three challengers, for the Canada cup, now held by the Rochester (N. Y.) Yacht club. This sextet of thirty footers are expected to enter the water next month and from that time on will be sailed almost dally preparatory to the In ternational races to be held in August. The trial races for the selection of a chal lenging yacht will be sailed on July 2: under the auspices of the Royal Canadian Yacht club of Toronto. TO IYlJU H PAREforS 11 II New Yorkers will see lots of automobile racing this summer. Arrangements have been made for twenty-five meets, ending October 28. There will be nine meetings at Morris Park, eight at Brighton Beach and eight at the Empire City track. Each track receives a holiday, Empire getting May 30, Morris Park taking July 4 and Labor day going to Brighton Beach.

County,, Ky. ,.aMrawvaMBm Assist nature in getting the system ready for the depressing Summer months. The change of Nature from Winter and Spring to Summer is no greater than the change that takes place iu our physical systems at this seasou, and few can undergo it without some manifestation of disorder. Some have no particular ailment but are just worn out aud tired, with their energies so depleted that they are totally unfit for work or physical cxertiou of any kind. The appetite is variable, thev are peevish, hj'sterical aud ofteu unreason able, the digestion is imperfect, the stomach deranged, aud altogether they are mere drags iu their every day life. To others the return of Summer means the rcturu of disease, for warm weather is sure to force out the hidden poisons and seeds of disease which have ac cumulated in the blood during the Wiutcr, and some old chronic trouble makes its ap- pearance. lions, Eczema, letter, Acne, scaly eruptions, rashes, pimples, etc., break out also at this time, and the heated season is made worse by the burning and itching of these skin tortures. During the winter months we live a shut-in life aa. much as possible, breathing the impure air of closed room's and heated offices; we indulge our appetites to the fullest, eating more of the heavier, richer foods aud take a great deal less exercise. As a result the blood grows thick aud sluggish, the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other avenues of bodily waste become inactive and mill, failing to carry out the poisons which form iu the system, and' these are absorbed by the blood. Then when warm weather comes the blood is stirred to quicker action and begins to throw off these poisons, and they fiud lodgment in the system and produce disorders of various kiuds. The time to prepare for Summer is before any warning symptoms are felt r the seeds of disease have time to get too deeply rooted in the blood. The blood should be cleansed and every part of the system put iu good working order, so we can start the trying summer season fully prepared to withstand the disorders and diseases it brings. S. S. S., the recoguized king of blood purifiers, is the remedy with which to prepare the system for summer. It not only builds up the constitution, but goes down into the blood and searches out all poisons that have accumulated during the Winter, as well as those that may be lurking there from old chronic troubles. It is a tonic and appetizer without an equal, and m cases of debility, weakness, nervousness and tnat fagged out, run-down condition it is unexcelled. Every part of the system is toned up and rejuvenated by this great remedy. There is one feature of S. S. S. that is possessed by it alone; it is entirely vegetable, while other blood medicines on the market contain Potash or some other harmful mineral ingredient to derange the stom ach aud digestion, or otherwise damage the system. The way to prepare for Summer properly is to get the blood pure and strong with S. S. S., the leader of all blood medicines and the best of tonics.

I was tormented wita the ltohing and burning characteristic of the disease for five years, and during the time used various medicated soaps, ointments and washes, but these applications seemed to make me worse.

Automoblllsts are to make a united ef fort to see If something cannot be done to relieve the condition of Sixteenth street between Izard and Nicholas. At present it Is almost impassable for machines, and Councilman Dave O'Brien, who used to hustle for roads for the bicyclists and knows what a hindrance such a stretch Is f comfortable riding, has promised his aid In at least having: a temporary road of cinders, which will make the road passable. Since the completion of the repaying of North Sixteenth street It Is the most prac ticable road to the north, and to bo stopped for one short block, as undor present con ditions, Is aggravating, to say tho least. The automobile, as well as the roadster, Is doing good work In forcing the Improve ments on several streets of the city. West Dodge Is almost useless as a drive for some time after a rain because of the gap from Fortieth to Fiftieth street, but an arrangement has been perfected as far as this Is concerned whereby the street rail way company Is to move Its tracks to the north side of the street and the park board will pave, so that there will be a pave ment connection between the city pave ments and the Dodge street macadam. Since the remodeling cf his machine Arthur Guiou has one of the most striking and up-to-date machines In the city. Mr. Guiou purchased a high priced machine last year and was satisfied with the run ning qualities, and as It had had a year's trloj, he knew that It was no experiment. Bo he conceived the lda of completely re modeling' It with every new idea and new contrivance that tho most modern ma chines contain. From the old style rear entrance It Is changed to side entrance and the front Is remodeled entirely. It Is re painted and newly upholstered, until it looks as If it had just arrived from the factory. It Is flirured by local experts that the two seven-horse power Olds machines which are making the run from New York to Portland under the Inspection of the De partment of Agriculture of the national government will reach the city about May 29. Hunters have called the auto Into serv ice this spring for short trips to the neigh boring marshes to hunt for the snipe and ycllowleg. It Is often easier to reach these favored localities with a machine than by going on a train and then driving with a livery rig. Automobile Notes.

First Shipments of Country Milk How the Erie Con tributed to NeW York's Food Supply T TNTIL the Erie in 1842 originated the delivery of good country milk in New York, the city's supply had been 'mainly swill and adulterated milk. The new plan was so widely appreciated at its inception that long rows of men, women and children car rying jars or cans, daily awaited the arrival of the shipment.
