USE BALL ARMY IS COMING HERE Hike Kelly and 111 Millers Will Mingle rrlih the Tribe ( Honrke aid Malt April Dara Lively. Two month. Dotsnt aeem long, does It? And it Isn't ong, cither. Omaha will entertain during .lie coming spring the greatest crowd ol Jail players ever assembled within lis Con ines during the training season. Mike Kelley Is coming with his Millers, some twenty strong, to get ready for active work, ind Papa Bill Rourke will have the aame number of prospective members of the Rourke family to break In. What a scene Vinton Park wlli present during those warm days In early April, with the tribes of Rourke and Kelley batting, running, throwing and doing the other things needed to get klnka out of muscles and dispense With the excess fat that has been picked Up during a winter's rest. The selection of Omaha by Kelley as a training place Is not a surprise, for Omaha affords condl " tlona that are ideal for the work of getting in shape for the championship season. The weather Is always warm enough for out door work, and the conditions of the field are generally good. The climate is such that the men will be able to go into the real work of championship games In fine fettle, and the expense of maintaining the team here for practice will be really less than at soma smaller place, while the ad vantages afforded are so many as to not need cataloguing. Indeed, Manager Kelley has ahown much wisdom in making up his mind to bring the Millers here for their spring preparation. It will be of great benefit to them and to the Omaha team as welL Manager Rourke is dally filing away more contracts, and now has a sheaf that looks good to him, tha only vacant place being shortstop. This Is a puzzle to Bill, for the regiments raised by the big leagues have fairly swept the market of available tried and tested inflelders. He has three deals on, though, for the purchase of a man; one Will land him a player from the Eastern league, who has shown himself a good fielder and a crack hitter; another will fret him a shortstop from tho Pacific Coast league, a man who is a crackerjack fielder, but not such a good hitter, and the third will get him a player who has major league experience. He is In hopes of pull ing off one of these deals, and Isn't haggling any about the price, either. He realizes that a good man at short Is going to cost him something, and he is willing to pay a good price to get the right sort. Otherwise ha ia In fairly good shape. Joe Dolan showed up during tha week, just to see what good old Famam street looked like. Joe has been wintering down In tha First ward, and has been taking splendid care of himself. He Is no fatter now than at the close of last season, his skin is clear and his eye bright, and ha says his bad leg was never in better shape.. The operation he underwent last winter has proven a com plete success, and Joe will put up a game it first base this coming aummer that will be tho wonder of the leaguo. At ona time and another much haa been aald about the big advances in pay a minor leaguer gets when he goes up. One of tha Omaha players who was taken on by a big league team won't tell any such stories for awhile at least, lie was sent his contract recently, and It named the pay he got In Omaha, the only difference being that he gets six months in the big league, when he had but five in tha West ern. "He thought he would get at least 160 a month more, but he isn't offered a cent raise. Similar stories are heard from others who were taken up under the draft It Is beginning to dawn on the darkened minds of the minor league player that the big salaries only go for the big stars, or on paper; the contracts don't call for them. This isn't much encouragement for the youngster, but it teaches him that 30O a month in a minor league isn't so bad, when the big league manager offers him the sume pay and no more. It's an open bet that "Red" Sheehan'a talk about Jumping from Sioux City is a bid fur a higher figure on his pay check, tineghan was the best ball player on the ttioux City team last season and one of the best in the league. Moreover, he is a gentleman and the kind of a player that Is a credit to the league and to himself. It would be a serious loss if be were to be allowed to get away from the West ern. Carney has several names on his list he can spare better than Bheehan. , In spite of the death blow to foot ball, Which the faculty representatives of the Big Mine thougnt they dealt at the meet- lng neld In Caicugo some time ago, the game Is (till on and the same colleges are preparing tor tne tall campaign Just as of yore. Lr. WIL.jn.a has beeu Hired by the University ot Minnesota at an increased salary in spite of the rule, "the coach is to be a regular member of the faculty, receiving a comparatively small salary." This looks as if the colleges did not ex pect to ubide very strongly by the action of tha college professors, all of whom aeemed to be imbued with the Idea that they must make some kind of a grand stand pluy to knock the game of foot ball. And then, as pointed out by The live last Sunday, now silly Is the rule "The train ing table ia to be abolished." Everyone knowa that most injuries in foot bull come to men who ure Improperly trained. As someone haa said: ' ES.ccccp, go TsUVfll someone has said: "Even a horse must have plenty of oats if he' is to work hard," and so it is with a foot ball player who goes Into this strenuous gome. The stu dents at Michigan have raised a howl that has been heard all over the country, and it does not look as if they would sit around and let the good old gains be abolished.

No action wsa taken at the meeting of tha rules committee In New York a week ago in regard to Walter Camp's suggestion that a team must go ten yards in three downs Instead of five yards as at the pres ent time. Considerable discussion was In dulged In and It seemed to meet with favor, but it was not decided whether the ten yards must be made in three downs, or Just what change will be made In the matter. The matter of a field laboratory wsa also discussed, but no action was taken and tha same situation exists in re gard to a central body ot officials, the sub committee making Its report, but no action being taken. Proposed changes were passed only tentatively and it Is possible that some of the measures proposed will not go through, the votes cast simply being to represent the sense of the meeting, al though the fact that they were passed Is a good indication that they may go through. Measures tending to cut out brutality and all forms of unnecessary roughness were approved. One of these was that the of fending team lose half the distance be tween where the offense was committed and the goal. Measures were also tenta tively adopted tending to open up the game and to weaken the defense, and it is almost assured that some sort of a for ward pass will be permitted. It was also recommended that a player being disquali fied for a second time In a season be de clared ineligible tor one year from the time ot committing the offense. Unsports manlike conduct is also to Include abusive language to opponents or officials and the penalty is to be suspension for the re mainder of the game. An extra umpire Is to be added to assist In watching for all offenses. The greatest departure from the old game is the forward pass. There can be a dozen forward passes behind the line of scrimmage, but none, once the ball Is carried beyond the line of scrimmage. Six men shall always be on the line of scrim mage. The defense Is weakened by a rule declaring that not more than six men shall be permitted on the line of scrim mage on the defense, the others to be clearly behind the feet of the linemen, In side the men on the end of the line. This tuouns that one end must drop back which will give more opportunity for end runs. Hurdling Into the line Is prohibited. Field club members are already prepar ing for the big Transmlsslsslppl tournament which is scheduled to be held In Omaha in June. Many are are having their old clubs repaired for advance work on the links and a contest has developed over the elec tion of a golf instructor. Christie was highly satisfactory to many of the mem bers and will probably be retained, al though some bt tho members have other candidates whose names will be presented to the committee. No time will be lost In putting the links in shape ns soon us spring rolls around that the greens may bo per fect when the cracks of the country gather to contest for the honors with the locul players. The Field club made a good record for entertainment when the middle west tennis tournament wps held last sum mer and no effort will be lacking to muke the golf tournament Just as successful. Squash ball continues to hold members of the Racquet club and Is furnishing plenty of amusement and exercise. The monthly tournament Is still being played off and again "Spike" Kennedy looks a winner in spite of his heavy handicap. In a match last week he had a minus eight to his op ponents plus six and still won out. He is a wonder at the game and plays most re markably, for, euch. a larfjeman. Many of the older members of the club are taking up squash ball as an exercise and many play hard with the added idea of reducing weight. This game, played" In the nicely ventilated courts with the shower baths and plunge to follow, is a magnet which at tracts large numbers dally. Automoblltng has been splendid during the whole month of January In Omaha and the machine owners have been able to have their machines out every day for a com fortable ride If they so desired. The year has started out most auspiciously for the dealers, one dealer selling three large ma chines last week. A good Indication In the Increase of Interest in the game is given by the attendance at the Chicago automo bile show. Last year eight people went from Omaha to the Chicago show and this year between sixty and seventy-five have gone or are going. Many of the machine owners will sell their old cars and buy the more modern cars. The call will soon be made for the annual meeting of the Omaha Rod and Oun club which was organized last spring. The shooters and fishermen of the city became quite enthusiastic over the new club and considerable money was raised toward building a new club house at Courtland Beach, but the high waters last spring put a stop to the work, as It was Impossible for teams to get through with lumber. The subscriptions still stand and an effort will be made after the meeting which will be called for shout the 20th of this month to make the total subscriptions I2,!00, which will bo sufficient to build a very suitable club house. Since the state fish commis sioner has taken such an Interest In the lake to the extent of planting thousands of game fish, the local fishermen have been petting most excellent sport and this will Improve as the fish grow larger. An endurance contest will be bowled next Saturday night beginning at 7 p. m. and continuing until Sunday night at 7 p. m.. when two teams, Cochran and Conrad and Marble and Clay, will attempt to break the record made at Chicago when two teams bowled fifty-five games In twenty four hours. The men say they will be able to bowl 100 games, and will make a record worth shooting at for some time to come. New York started the fad by a twelve- ' hnup rnntnit mnA rh Irt v.efirh t mm wr bowled during that time, and then Chlrago tried for twenty-four hours and made fifty five games. The contest, starting as It does In the evening, will begin after a day's work for most of the men and will be that much more of a task to carry out. Forty match games have been arranged for the first try at the new billiard tables at the Omaha Howling association rooms, and as but five tables are to be Installed lots will probably be drawn to determine who will have the pleasure of Initiating the tables. A meeting of the captains of tha bowling league teams was held In reference to strengthening the Black Kats team which has been running behind. Three new men were added to the team. Chandler of the Armours, Baldwin and Alex Reed, who Is an old timer at the game. An amusing corditloi exists In reference to a prize of K which was hung un bv the association for the bowler who should get nearest to yl pins in a match game. Fifty-nine bowlers tied for thst prise at in, and now they are howling It off. The tie play off will go to the man notrrst tPl. , Travelers over the state of Nebraska state that the sentiment Is changing In the sand hills district in reirsrd to hunting and that the people In that section of the state are not only becoming more careful in their regard for the hunting laws, but are also more strict In the enforcement of tha laws. As one traveling man said: "The state officials hsve been very active In the en forcement of the game lawa and this haa had a good effect all over the state In In stilling into the people a due regard for tha law. Pot hunters are no longer coun tenanced and are soon brought to justice." There will be a fight over the services ot Catcher Buess, who finished last season with Portland. Spokane now claims to have a contract with the young backstop, and If Judge McCreddle attempts to play him will carry the care up to Secretary Farrell. The Pacific National league season was cut short, so the men did not finish out their time according to contract. As long as the club did not fulfill Its contract the players certainly ought to be at liberty to go elsewhere. But In the case of Suess the club had him sign a contract for 19o$ and advanced, or rather paid him, a certain amount of money, which he accepted. The catcher claims that as they did not pay him the amount he would have received in sal ary had the season been finished, he is at liberty. He also claims that the league Is disorganized and cannot hold him. He wants to play In Portland In preference to going among the bushers with Spokane. The growing tendency of colleges to enter their track athletes In as many Indoor meets as possible during the winter is shown In the announcement that Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania and several other universities will send representatives to the carnival to be held In Philadelphia on Washington's birthday. Two other notable indoor race meets of the season will be the B. A. A. games at Boston next month and the Columbia university games In Madison Square Garden next Friday. At Philadel phia the usunl program will be given. In cluding several Intercollegiate relay races. Chicago university will send a relay team to the annual carnival of the University of Pennsylvania. Llghtbody, Eckersall. Qulg Icy and Groman will be sent. Chicago also will be represented In the special events. The naval cadets are Jubilant over the prospects of two big foot ball games here next fall. Princeton has promised to play the middles and negotiations are being car ried on with Pennsylvania. The cadets have envied West Point her contests with Yale and Harvard, believing it a great ad vantage to the tenm to be pitted against such elevens. The lost time the Naval academy boys played Princeton the visitors were defeated. No student at Cornell will hereafter be allowed to represent an outside athletic club In any meet or to compete against an organization other than of another college. Such is the decision of the Cornell Athletic council. It means that some of Cornell's crack athletes will be barred from running for the New York athletic clubs. For six weeks the University of Pennsyl van'e foot ball authorities have had within their number a second member of the American, Intercollegiate foot ball rules committee and have been In complete Ig norance of his presence. The man In ques tion is F. Homer Curtiss. He is coach of the wrestling team, assistant gympastlc In structor and a member of the freshman class of the medical department Until the Quakers were acquainted with Curtiss' presence and Identity here they thought that John C. Bell, a charter member of the committee, was the only representative they had among the foot ball solons. As a matter of fact, Curtiss has been In Phil adelphia occupying his present position ever since last September. On the committee he does not represent Pennsylvania, but the University of Texas, at which Instltu- Hints on Latest Fashions For the accommodaUon of readers of Ths lingerie the Illustration affords a sugges- Bee theie patterns, which usually retail at tlon for a practical suit of underwear As from 26 to 60 cents each, will be furnished the drawers are attached to the waist it at the nominal price of 10 cents.

NO. 63C2-A PRETTY COhSET COVER. Many women who have a care to the perfect fit of their gowns prefer a corset cover which lias a few scams and thus avoid the bulklness which often results from the many seamed garment. Here is a suggestion for a corset cover having but one seam and that In the center of the back. This is a bias seam, so it fits the form perfectly and without difficulty. This model Is not only a perfect fitting one, but very easily made, as may be seen. The slight fullness In the front of the cor set cover Is held at the waist Una by a ribbon run through beading, which forma a neat finish. The corset cover may be a elaborate or as plain as is desired and yet be very attractive.

The Prohibition Theory on Beers Has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. The great scientists of all Nations after careful analysis declare that beer brewed from pure barley malt and hops contains only about 34 Per cent alcohol or just enough to mildly stimulate the body and promote healthy digestion. Dr. Bauer, the German analyst (whose fame is international) says "Beer has a number of pleasant and valuable qualities. No other beverage contains such a combination of useful properties. The water of it quenches the thirst, the carbonic acid refreshes, the extracts are nutritious, the alcohol furthers digestion, the mineral salts build up the bones and extracts of hops act as a tonic." Dr. Bauer's statement here given exactly describes the qualities of Its commanding superiority over all American brews was proven at the St. Louis World's Fair where in open competition with the best America can produce it won the Gold McdaL Peerless has been brewed for over 50 years from the best Malting Barley and finest Bohemian Hops by the world-famous Gund Natural ProCCSS and has won its high position solely on account of unadulterated genuine honest merit.

The news Is held to be authentic, us It comes from an old Brown man, who knows Rubs personally. Yet Michigan's athletics will not be benefited by Russ' coming, for the crack Brownonlan has participated his allotted time In college sports. He has also figured In track ath letics at the Eastern university for four years. Were he eligible, he would un doubtedly be a valuable addition to either track or . gridiron squad, as his record shows. Coach Stagg of Chicago, speaking of the action of the western college conference on foot ball, said: "I knew that the blow was coming, but the committee certainly was sweeping In its resolutions. It was, of course, the purpose to guard against any future criticism on the grounds of professionalism or anything savoring of It In any way, and they have done their work well. I can't prophesy as to the probable workings under the new regime. A training table Is, naturally, the best way to develop a good team." Dean George E. Vincent of the Junior colleges of the university said that he considered it a significant fact that the conference authorities got together wl?h such unanimity and such a spontaneity in their demand for clean sportmanshlp. He said: " The action will put foot ball back to where It was twenty years ago, back to a purely amateur plane. The spirit of pro fessionalism and high specialization was running away with the old Ideals. The abolishment of the training table is an ex cellent one. It will put the men upon an honor system of training. A certain' amount of moral stamina will be required for a man to subject himself voluntarily and without coercion to the rigors of strict training; and those who cannot observe training ethics ought not to represent their university on the athletic field. At Yale, I remember, several men were ruled off the crew simply because they did not have sufficient moral responsibility to train. Herding together a crowd of men at a training table and checking them up at bed time Is a good device to develop a beef machine, but a mighty poor way to develop a human machine. It is simply a return to the old Kngllsh idea of keeping In training all the time rather than of going Into training for a season and then plunging into all sorts of gastronomic ex cesses." At the University of Michigan the student sentiment was that the action was too strong. "Mr. Yost should be a member of DOES YOUR BACK EVER ACHE ?

Ranking lawn tennis players of the country have recently been canvassed for their views aa to Challenging the Britons this year for the Dwlght K. Davis Interna tional challenge cup. From what Clothier, who was a member of the American chal lenging the team last year, hus said to several of the players, those who shape the affairs of the national government body in the sport are against sending over a team. That such a move is directly In opposition to the wishes of the following of the sport In this country Is evident wherever lawn tennis Is talked of in this city. The timidity of those In control is severely censured and It la felt that such methods do much to retard the develop ment of the sport here. Somewhat In oppo sition to the canvass of the national asso ciation has been the favorable attitude that Beals Wright, the national champion, end his ardent supporters have taken toward sending a challenge and a team to meet the famous Englishmen In an effort to return the blue ribbon of the tennis courts to this country. Many of the experts believe that a team headed by Wright, now at the pinnacle of his game, would be suc cessful this year. This In view of the fact that only a narow margin of points actu ally separated the Americans from victory last July at Wimbledon. It Is this element that may force matters, as was done at the annual meeting of last February, and caused something like a split In the lawn tennis ranks.

The second annual meeting of the Ne braska Intercollegiate Base Ball league was held last week at Lincoln. Last year's Initial efforts to sustain a league had met with such success and were looked upon with suoh favor by those col leges which had participated that It was regarded as the most effectual plan of car rying on Intercollegiate base ball that could be devised. Articles of agreement were prepared for the acceptance and sig natures of the various colleges In the asso ciation and tho organization was put on a permanent basis. The prospects of college base ball in Nebraska were discussed at considerable length. It was found that the outlook for strong teams among the colleges was entirely satisfactory, prom ising an Interesting chase for the pennant, which was captured last year by Crelghton university. A movement was made to en large the scope of the league by extending it to foot ball and track athletics. This, however, will not be accomplished during the present year, but wi'.l probably be effected at the next annual convention. A schedule for the season was arranged. A series of games will be played, each college making a trip of the entire circuit, which will give every team the same num ber of games at home and abroad. Officers ot the league were elected for the season as follows: President, William P. Mullen, Crelghton university; vice president. Coach J. A. Whltmore, Bellevue college; aeoretary treasurer, Roy Smith, Nebraska State Nor mal. Sorgreon Probes Mvlng Drain. Just as a dentist searches for the root of a broken tooth Dr. W. W.
