liiise ball surely did get frost nipped this
time. It was nice along In February,
when the Frost King generally holds away,
that the boys iK-san to get out their togs
and were all ready to go to work. Illg
league teams hurried away to training
grounds, and the manager's heart leaped
high, for he saw his chance to get his men
into midsummer shape and have all things
ready for a rush start when the season
opens. Just then the weather man stepped
In, and what he did to the bane ball train
ing camps will be talked about long after
Rube Waddoll'a hold up story has faded
along with the tale of the time Anson
truck out. The Western league magnates
were not so much bothered, for their train
ing season Is shorter. Papft Bill Rouike,
for example, takes the team as far south
as Vinton street, and instead of boiling
them out in hot springs, he makes them
chase the leather around the lot till they
get up a sweat, and then he lets them take
a shower In the club house. This has the
same effect, and Isn't accompanied by dis
tractions, such as are complained of for the
south. The gang Is due In Omaha on Mon
day morning, and the Minneapolis team
will be here on Tuesday, so that Omaha
vlll have the eight of an army of young
athletes getting ready for the season's
work. With the Rourke family, the Millers
and the unattached who will try out here
wlille waiting for an engagement, at least
fifty ball players will be at Vinton park
every day for the next week. Then when
Comlskey, the Cantilllona and the others
send their teams here for practice games
It will surely be something doing In the
base ball line. The weather man Is ashamed
of himself now, and promises to furnish
a little sunHhlne and some other thing
for' the next few days, so the boys will
have s chance.
Since getting Bender on his staff, Papa
Bill hasn't done much In the way of getting
new material. He Is one of those wise
old birds who hire players before the sea
son starts, and will go Into the battle
this time with as fine a bunch of warriors
as ever wore the Omaha uniform. BUI
thinks the pennant would look pretty good
In the center field garden again, and whilo
he doesn't say so for publication, he Is
heard talking to himself lately, and that
means that he Is In earnest about the
pennant proposition. Let's see what chance
ho has of winning: JncNeeley was the
k...g pin pitcher for Colorado Springs two
seasons ago, and It Is admitted that If
Burns had had another as good, he would
have won the flag Instead of Omaha; Mc
Neeley Is just as good this year. Then
Eddie Quick Is convinced that . he can
pitch better ball this seaaon than he ever
did, and Is anxious to do so, for he wants
'follow Jack Pflester Into the big
league; Koukallk, Corns, Fort and Hues
ser are all In a mood to make good if
possible. Hnser 1 the Idol of BUI'S eye,
for he hoi, .- tn nu.ke another Pflester of
him. Then, ..elley Welch may get over
sulking and come in and be good. This
ought to make Omaha look a trifle better
than good in the box. With Gondlng, the
old reliable, and Johnny Bender for
catchers, and Butch Frvese aa a pinch
artist, the backstop end of the game looks
better than it ever did. Joe Dolan's ability
to play first as It ought to be played Isn't
questioned. The veteran will be there all
the time next summer. Ivan Howard
showed at the close of the season that he
had a lot of second base sense, and will
be trusted with that station. Perrlng Is
to have third, and promises to give a good
account of himself. He will have a hard
time following Bill Schlpke at that station,
but It Is the fond hope of Rouke that the
new man will fill the bill. At short Runkle
will find his work waiting him. He is a
cracking good fielder, ana ought to make
good. In the outfield, Bassey, Welsh and
Carter can hardly be improved upon. But
Papa Bill will try two or three other
fl elders before deciding on the final lineup
of the Omaha for 1904. He may change
his Infield some, but It all looks good on
paper. The batting will be Improved, too.
and barring the unforeseen, Omaha ought
to be right close to the front all the way,
Both the older outdoor clubs, aa well
the new South Omaha Country club, wlil
soon be opened for members and the sum
mer's games will be on. Christie will soon
be on hand to scrape the rust from the old
clubs and to make new ones for the mem
bers of the Field club. The members will
not be slow about starting out this spring
for the Transmlsslsslppl tournament is not
far away and It behooves the boys to be
on hand early to get In condition to meet
the cracks from abroad. Because of the
late snows spring Is liable to come In with
a rush when once it starts and all will be
ln readiness. The Country club has been
doubled In slse, that Is the buildings have
been doubled and this will make the club
more popular than ever as it will give more
room for entertainment. Although this
club la tnor limited as to membership, the
present membership required mor room so
the director gave It to them. These clubs
are better patronised year by year and the
wonder to the members I what they did
without them before. Golf will not be
permitted to monopolise the attention of
the member of the Field rlub, for the other
sport will receive mor attention than ever
before. The bane ball men will schedule
more game and a stronger team will be
put In the field, which will be able to meet
all comer. All the old-timer will be on
. Jtand and ln addition new men, fresh from
college with laurels won on the campus
will try tor the team. The tennis men will
strive for a position In the limelight and
will hold It for some time by means of the
middle west tournament.

we will eventually approach that Ideal a

the government can ever pass a law to

make other stipulation. It appear to me
that this Is more In the line of state Ieg!s

we will begin our work." Mr. Oorham
propose to gather around him as assist

represented automobile Interest in certain
sections of the country to act on the com

submit his bill, asking for suggestions or
changes, and he expects to have it rendy
within two or three month. According
to local addition It my be necessary to
make some alteration In the bill for dif
ferent states, but the main principles will
remain the same. Particular attention will
be paid t fche law licensing machines and
the regulations ' governing tourist while
passing from one state to another. "It
ought to be as easy,. for an automoblllst
to travel from state- to state, without sub
mitting to special legislation, a It Is for

Oorham. "A uniform act in this respect
should prevail throughout the country, so
that whsn a man ha paid hi fee In his

number or pay extra fee in. other states.'
Mr. Oorham hope that his proposed bill
may be introduced Into the ' legislatures

Owing to the new style of play that will
be necessary under the revised foot ball
rules, college eleven are preparing to start
spring practice earlier than usual this year.
It Is expected that the Cornell. Tale and
Pennsylvania men will be outdoor shortly
after Easter. A great deal of attentlou
will have to be paid to passing the ball.

however, the regulation foot balL The
plans tn omereni ooneges win pursue in
their spring practice will depend to a great
extent upon the final recommendation of
the rule committee. These should be an-
nounced after the next meeting of the com-
mute at ins sua 01 mis montn. Judging
from the old standard of play .all of the
teama will, of course, be weaker thl year
than last season, sine none of them will
be able to recruit from ta freshmen
clasae. Another source of sup?' (or new
material Is cut off by the rule barring grad-
ustes, ao that the teams to develop their
strength will have to practice for a longer
time than ordinarily. This accounts for
the disposition to start the season so early.

Automobile legislation Is only Just begin

policy advocated by President John Farson
of the American Automobile association
may be accepted as an indication of the
future. In this respect he Is ably sup
ported by the new secretary, Sidney S. Gor-
ham, and who, by virtue of his being a
lawyer, has very properly been named as
chairman of the law committee. Mr. Gor
ham believes that the time has come In
many states of the union for the automobll
lsts to come out squarely In favor of good
roads, .and, If necessary, to fight strenu
ously for them. , Not only the motor users
to fight for good roads, but they will be ad
vised to demand an equitable law regarding
the use and licensing of automobiles. Hith
erto the great bulk of legislation of this
character has been directed against auto
moblltsts. The latter have virtually been
oh the defensive and many of the benefits
they have obtained have been secured
through quiet and devious ways.
William Everett Jlllson of the faculty of
Doane college wrlto of summer base ball
as follows:
When I waa t year old X received
present of a ball and a bat. It was ft for
tunate gift, and I feel that I owe a great
deal to the great American sport. I am of
the opinion that I saw the Inventor of the
curved ball, Cory of Rhode Island. I t-
member when he struck out nineteen men
who were puzzled beyond expression. John
Green of my class of 1882 of Brown unl

the game with Interest ever since, and feel
the same old glow of enthusiasm when our
boy of Doane carry off the victor" wreath
"A one much Interested In college sport,
I venture to make Vome suggestions with
referenee to summer base ball aa played by
oollege students, a matter that Is soon to
be considered by representative of the 'Big

my knowledge where the battory of a 'var
sity nine was suspended for playing bail
on Sunday under assumed names with
semi-prof esslonals. Good: Let the col
leges wake up to their duty ln base ball
matters a they have with reference to
foot ball, and let them have college sport.
It may be seriously questioned, however.
nether a genuine student athlete should
be debarred because he, when a boy.

There Is sudh ft thing as pressing tho
matter of professionalism too far. Definite
and not too stringent rules should be
drawn up, nnd then -they should be made
nown each year to all boys In preparatory
chools, so that. If they err, they may not
do It simply through Ignorance. There are
many things that must be explained to
boys about tho present Insidious forms of
gambling before they will understand the
harmful character of It, and this Is true
of matters pertaining to professionalism.
In general the old rule, the receipt 01
money as a compensation for engaging
ln or teaching how to play a game, must
mark as ever a professional."
O. R. Newburn of London, secretary of
the Lawn Tennis association, has stated
that England ha been duly challenged for
the Dwight Davie cup by both America
and Australasia. The American team Is
certain to Include Messrs. Beals Wright,
the American singles champion, and Hol
combe Ward. The other pair are uncer
tain, but It Is said neither Mr. Lamed nor
Mr. Clothier lb likely to be chosen.
According to a statement by Dr. James
T. Lees, a member of the American foot
ball rules committee and chairman of the
thletic board of Nebraska university, the
Cornhusker authorities will not be gov
erned by the rules enacted by the big nine
conferences at Chicago. Mr. Lees said: "I
can conceive of no good reason why Ne
braska should even consider the adoption
of the rules enacted by the western con
ference. These rules are far more drastic
than the situation deserves. Nebraska has
already scheduled ten foot ball games for
the season of 1906. We shall play all of
hese gnmes. A coach ha also been en
gaged in the person of Amos T, Foster,
formerly (Coach at Cincinnati university. I
have no doubt of his retention by the Ne
braska board. Neither do I aanctlon the
abolition of the training table, although
Nebraska may abolish It; but if such action
s taken It will be purely for financial rea
sons. It Is my Judgment that the training
table Improves the physical condition of
the players, thereby having a tendency to
prevent Injuries. Neither will Nebraska
reduce the eligibility of players. There
has been too much of the suggestion of
spent powder In this foot ball upheaval,
The worst evil ln the game waa the pro
fessionalism coming from the offering of
financial Inducements to players. This
phase of the situation ha almost been
totally disregarded.

Spring is nature's time for renewing and changing; everything
puts on new life, the sap rises in vegetation, the f.xih thaws out from
its Winter freezes and all respond to Spring's cTl to purge and purify
themselves. The change in the vegetable kingdom is no greater than
the change which takes place in our physical systems at this season,
and few can undergo it without some evidence of disorder.
During the Winter mouths we live a shut-in life as much, as possible, breathing the
impure air of closed rooms and heated buildings; we indulge our appetites eating more of
the heavier, richer foods, and take less exercise. As a result the blood grows thick and
sluggish, the members whose duty it is to carry off the refuse of the body get dull and
inactive from the lack of exercise, etc., and leave the waste matter in the system to sour and
form impurities and acids which are taken up bv the blood and distributed through its
circulation. Then as warmer weather comes on and we change our mode of living, the blood
is aroused from its torpid state and stirred to quicker action and begins to throw off these
accumulations, causing Boils, Eczema, Tetter, Acne, rashes, pimples, scaly eruptions and
itching, burning skin diseases of various kinds.
In its efforts to rid the system of these accumulated poisons, the blood calls upon every
member to assist, but the system is often unequal to the struggle; the energies give way,

and if we wish to pass this trying period of the year free from disorders and disease we
must have our blood in good condition. S. S. S. is nature's remedy, being made from the
roots, herbs and barks of the forests and fields, and has long been recognized as the "King of
Blood Purifiers" and the greatest of all tonics. It goes down into the circulation and removes
gently, but thoroughly every particle of impuritv or humor that may be there, restores lost
energy, builds up the appetite, and steadily and pleasantly tones up the entire system by its
fine purifying and tonic effects. S. S. S. neutralizes any excess of acid in the blood,
making it fresh and pure, and cures Eczema, Tetter, Acne and all skin eruptions and diseases
promptly and permanently. It adds to the blood the rich, healthful properties it is in need
of, and in every way prepares the system for the change from Winter to Spring. S. S. S.
