April 22, im TTTE OMAIIA ILLUSTRATED BEE. SPORTING GOSSIP . OF WEEK Fpa Bill Rourls Hu Hardest of Problems Now Before Him. WHAT PITCHERS WILL HE KELP STEADY To Mark Good Material Glre the 014 Man ! 1 Ftmllr th J oh ef If la Mia at Present. ' fitudylnt hard. Papa Bill Rourke has hit troubles be fore him now. With onlr a wmIc left to decide on his team for the summer, he finds he has soma problems left to solve. It Is not that hs hasn't good material. The trouble la he has so much 300 A ma terial hs wants to keep It all and can not make up his mind which of the coming; tars he will set adrift. He knows about the Infield and the outfield, and has almost made up his mind as to the catchers. The pitchers will give him more trouble. That he Is In earnest In his Intention to bring home the pennant for Omaha next fall Is shown by his securing Podge from Chicago. This young man will d If place one of the aspiring pitchers, for hs Is seasoned material In minor company, and Is sent to Rourke for a post-graduate course In the fine art of base ball. Fire other pitchers will be carried, and the choice between the material on hand Is difficult. One thing Is sure, and that la Omaha will go Into the race with a cork ing good team. The Infleld Is the fastest Omaha has ever had, and that Is saying a good deal. for Omaha has never had a slow fielding team. The outfield Is In the same fix. and. In fact. It looks better thsn ever, for Welch , Is working as he never worked before, and Bassey Is a' decided Improvement over Thiol, lie has shown none of Buck's mani fest disposition to shirk, and Is not likely to put Omaha In the position occupied last season, that of having an outfielder studiously playing for his release. The batting of the team Is not all that Parts Bill would like, but Is a derided Improve ment over last season. Perrlng Is the weakest of the hitters, but Is stu diously training to overcome his weakness, and Is likely to be heard from. Altogether the outlook Is very encouraging. And, don't forget that next Saturday meeting between the Rourke family and the I.ee-Qlass-Andresen outfit Is to be fof the benefit of the Ynnn Women' Christian association building fund. All th amateur base ball teams In the city have ben getting Into shape during the last week for the season which Is soon to open up. The Frank Crawford team at South Omaha was the first In the field, playing two weeks ago. The Nonpareils have organised and will soon have their team selected and be ready for games. The Field club team has elected a manager and hopes to have a rame scheduled for the opening of the Field club. May 8. The two Diets teams have uniforms and managers who are busy arranging schedules. The Hollys are already In the field with a rood team and anxious for games. The Union Pa cific shops will have Its usual strong rep resentation on the field, . playing the Rourkes tomorrow. The Lee-Qlaas-An dreesen team Is as usual claiming the title of amateur champions which several of the local teams will dispute this sum' mer. Committees hare been appointed to make the opening of the Omaha Field club May S a gala occasion. A base ball game will be arranged with some of the .strong amateur teams and Abbott, Craw ford, Balrd, Malone, Murphy, Crelghton, , Hoagland and the other stars will be In their glory. The tennis committee Is also making an effort to have the courts ready for some matches on that day. The golfers will also be given some special Inducement to make a few extra holes In as few strokes as possible and the whole affair will be finished up by a dance at the club house in the evening. An effort It being made to induce Miss May Sutton, the champion tonnls player of America, to come to Omaha .to attend the Middle West Tennis tournament which will be held on the Field club courts in August. A higher class of players has been coming year after year to this meet, which is recognised a of national Im portance. Last year some most excellent players competed for the honors, com ing from all sections of the country, and as the reputation of this meet spreads abroad the class of the players Increases. The prises are good as are offered any where and the entertainment at the Field club Is of as high an order as that ac corded to the tennis men anywhere. Last year the Racquet club threw open Its doors to the tennis men and they also had a standing invitation to the Country club. The tennis committee is making some wise improvements on the courts which will be In the best possible condi tion for the tournament The Omaha Automobile club of Omaha held an enthusiastic meeting last Tuesday night at Ruser's park on West Center street, at which the members pledged them, selves to work together for the general good of automoblllng. A committee was appointed to confer with a similar commit tee from Council Bluffs In reference to the condition of Broadway In Council Bluffs. This could be made a famous run between the two cities with rery little expense. A cedar block pavement was put down many years ago, but this, year bock, has lost Its usefulness. In fact It Is at present worse than no pavement at all, for It Is so rough as to be almost impassable for autos or wagons. This road could be macadamised with small expense and made an Ideal run for automobiles, as It is level all the way, anis is more to the Interest of Council Bluffs than Omaha, for Omaha has more good runs of Its own than Council Bluffs. The club decided to assist in the prosecution of all drivers of autos arrested for the vio lation of the speed erdinances. A plan was evolved whereby all club members shall hare a card for Identification which shall be taken by policemen as a guarantee tor appearance in police court if arrested for petit offenses, the club to guarantee th HEADACHES Those who suffer from headaches, whether ick, nervous or neuralgic, are recommended to Take Tarrant's Seltzer Aperient (iwmtrtHviiitRii) Ait effervescent, saline draught which cures headache by removing the cause.

Much good can be accomplished by this elan and the members seem to hare rnne Into the work with the right spirit to bring about good results. New officers hare been elected and President Connor will see that committees are appointed, consisting of members who will work. Th fence has been constructed around the Diets Athletlo club park at Thirtieth and Spauldlng street and work Is progress ing nicely on the Inside. The grading of the tennis courts has been completed and these will be put In Brat-class condition a fast as possible. Work on th grand stand for the ball field will be begun this wek, the diamond already having been laid out. The shower and locker hare been com pleted and are now ready for use. Two base ball team will be pot In th field by this association, one to be known a the "C. N. Diets" team and th other a the "Diets Athletics." The managers hare been appointed and the teams will oon be chosen. The latter I the new team, but from the material on hand the managers think this team will be lust as fast as th old team, which recognised no superiors In th amateur rank of Omaha. Th new uniform hare arrived, consisting of a blue Suit with white, trimmings. Each team will have th same colored uniform, the differ ence being in the name across the front The management hopes to open the new park In about two week and then play a double-header each Sunday afternoon. No ichedule ha yet been fixed, but th man ager are working up one and would be pleased to hear from the managers of any amateur teams of the etty In reference to games. Amateur base ball has been mak ing a great hit In many of the large cities of the east and the management will do all in Its power to keep the games high class that they may deserr th patronage of th public Th game yet to be played In the ex hibition aeries before the opening of the regular championship season are: Topekfi this afternoon, when the Rourkes will take th final fall out of Dick Cooley, Jay An drews tt Co. 1 th Union Psclflo shops team Monday (Arbor day); Fremont at Fremont Wednesday and Thursday; Schuy ler at Bchuyler Friday, and the Lee-Qlass- Andreeaen Originals Saturday and Sunday, The first game with the Originals Is th tnuch-talked-about benefit game for the Young Women's Christian association's building fund. The young women are mak Ing a large hustle to sell tickets, for all the receipt of tickets sold on the outside will go to the fund, as well as half the receipts taken In at the gate. Meetings have been held during the last week and every Indication points to the fact that Omaha will have a first-class track and that a company will bo formed for putting on some good trotting race. A lease will be secured for the Spraguo street driving park, the grand stand will be moved and enlarged and the stables re built, making the track first-class In every particular. "What Omaha wants Is to get the people of the stat to com to this c!ty for their amusements," said F. A. Nash at th meeting of the promoter of th scheme for giving Omaha some trotting races, "We con go after them In a commercial way until we are black In the face, but It will not do any good. What we want Is to put on something In this city which will be attractive, something which will be a sufficient Inducement to draw people In. It la a well known fact that people will come naturally to do their trading where thoy are beat amused. Th Ak-Sar-Ben serves well enough In its way, the horse shew la good In its way, but mors people can b brought to the city te see a first-class 11ns of horse race than in any other way. W are all Interested In building Omaha up, and this Is on of the best ways we can work, at the presept time. Detroit was about to los Its annual race through th coming Into the town of a set of book' maker who were not In touch with the harness horse men, but I understand this difficulty has been settled and Dotrolt and Cleveland will each have a big meeting this fall." At one meeting held last week twenty names were signed by cltlsans who are snxloua to give Omaha a good track. Twenty more or needed, but the pro moter think they will have llttl difficulty In raising this amount when a hustle is one mad for It. Th men are receiving very encouragement from the State Speed association and a date will be given Omaha as soon a th local arrangement ax com' plete. Ernest Keeler, who will drive th big six-cylinder Oldsmobll which I being constructed at th Lansing factory under th direction of Chief Engineer Howard Coffin, for the Vanderbllt race, ha made several trips ever what ha been suggested for th rout of th new course on Long Island, In th twenty-elf ht-thirty-horse power palace touring cor. It the time made over the course by this ear 1 any Indication of what may b expected of the racing car, there la every likelihood that there will be some phenomenal Urn mad In th elimination. J. K. Mills of the Olds New York agency accompanied Keeler on these trips, which were mad before sunrise. The first base ball gome of the season for th Crelghton university was played against the league team out at th Vinton Street park on Thursday, and th most sanguine predictions for an unusually successful season for th collegians were entirely Justified. Considering th fact that th team ho bad only two weeks of actual practice and were contending with Pa's veterans, the university fans may Justly be proud of the initial work of the squad. The team showed Utile ef the stag fright which often prove to b th undoing of amateur player .when opposing th profes sionals. Th outfield, composed of Fish beck, Croft and McShane, played a fast and faultless game, while Btaen and Mullen at shortstop and third base have abso lutely settled all doubts as te their suit ableness for these positions. The "hodoo' that has been following the university for several seasons In the past regarding a scarcity of twirlers seems to have been broken. Whitehead and Btrattoa both pitched good, steady ball, and Lanlgan, who was In th gam last year, can be relied upon to do even better work than lost season. Dick Coad behind the bat bids fair to fill Ed Crelghton's old position with credit. On the whols, the team made a remarkably good showing, and with a little more proficiency at the bat, which doubtless will b acquired as th season advances, Omaha should be able to boast on of the fastest amatsur teams In th west. Columbia's faculty has now stepped In to disarrange the plans of the track ath letes on Mornlngslds Heights by forbid ding them to meet Brown university In a dual contest at Providence, which was scheduled to take place on May 1 The reason given is thst the students would have to be absent from their regular col lege work, because the meet fall on a mid-week date. The Ladles' Kennel Association of Amer ica will hare Us annual summer show on May U and 56 at Mlneola, the dates being changed, so it Is said. In order to get the opportunity ef baring George Raper Judge, while on hi way horn to England from San Froaclaoo. Indications ar not United States Naval acafemy Is to have another season ef rowing succeaees. Leav ing out the question of th recent exhibi tion by the midshipmen on th Severn, which in Itself was a splendid one. the embryo admiral who are holding down sliding scats In the academy shells this year are the finest lot of watermen that ha been at Annapolis in many years. Dick Olennon, the professional coach, bos had the best kind of material to pick over this year, and the paid mentor Is a wonder when it comes to whipping In men. It is only within the last two year that th Naval academy has taken a new leas of rowing life. Three things have helped to make th change more than ail others. On is that the authorities at Annaooll bare encouraged athletics, where years ago the Idea of pastime was heartily condemned. Another reason la that the midshipmen take naturally to th water and learn rapidly that which I required of every good oarsman. The third reason, is that tne academy has an excellent rowing coach. and that he la not handicapped by general orders and what not, as were some of his predecessor. Last year Annapolis cleaned th slate in a aerie of rowing victories. There are many outside oarsmen who would like to see the midshipmen enter at Pough- keepsle next year, and there are not a few experts who believe that with the Anna- polls crew there Cornell would not have everything Its own way. The difference In the study period, which requires the mid shipmen to be at sea cruising about the time that the crews on the Hudson are preparing for their Joint battle, makes It doubtful that Annapolis will ever be rep resented at Poughkeepsle. President C. R. Van I Use of the Urll verslty of Wisconsin has offered Harvery Holmes of San Francisco $2,600 a year to become athletlo director at Madison, but the former foot ball and track star thinks that $3,000 is the least that he can afford to accept for the hard work laid out in the reformed plan of athletics at Wisconsin. Students are willing to raise the difference of 160 by voluntary subscription, but it Is said that this proposition would not be ac ceptable to Mr. Holmes, and also that some members of the faculty have declared that athletics ought to be made so Inferior to school matters that the director should re ceive less than a regular full professor. The ordinary salary of a professor here is $3,000 a year, but a large number of fhem receive more because they have been offered more at other places and the regents choose to retain their services here. When the faculty was reforming the athletlo system one o the considerations was that sports should be financially of little Importance, and that the salaries should be meager In accordance with this view. It Is believed that Holmes is worth the price that he asks, but the "principle" Involved is troublesome to the faculty. Charles F. Klrschner, the new mayor of Allegheny, under whose administration it was supposed everything would run "wide open," has caused consternation among the fans by his announcement that there shall be no wagers on ball games at Ex position park. Heretofore betting has been one of the features of the National league games at Pittsburg, and although the club management tried to stamp it out the efforts were practically useless. I have determined to commence my ad ministration with wiping out gambling at th boil park," declared Mayor Klrsch ner. "For the gamblers have annoyed the patron of the game by betting, and If there are enough police In Allegheny It will be stopped. If there are not enough, then we will get more. I Intend to have a big bunch of officer at every game, and every person who places a bet on the game or on a play will be arrested. Ar rests will be made every day, If neces sary, until w stamp out th evil." - America International lawn tennis team, which will be composed of Beals C. Wright, Holcombe Ward. Krelch Col 11ns, and Raymond D. Little, will meet the players of France on June 1, at Liver pool. In the event of winning they will then Journey to Newport, Monmouth, where they will meet the winners of the Australian-Austrian preliminary matches, the dates being June 7, 8 and 1. 'ibis will be the hardest competition for the Americans, and upon, the result will hang the privilege of challenging th Britons for the cup. Practically the same team as a year ago will represent Australasia the men being Brooks and Wilding in the singles, and Dunlop paired with Brooks In the doubles. The finals for the cup have been scheduled for the courts of the all-English club at Wimbledon, Lon don, June 15, 1 and IS. Both Wright and Ward were on lost year's American team and had previous experience abroad. Together they hold the American doubles championship, while Wright, the Bos tonlan. Is the present holder of the single title. In the playing of the Internationals a year ago, Wright, unfortunately, was overlooked, and, as he afterward demon strated, he was easily the top man of the string In the singles a match which might have changed the final result of the cup matches against H. L. Dotierty and Frank L. Rlsley had he bean put In, for tne competitions were very close. Wisconsin has been challenged to an elght-oared race on Mlnnetonka some time In July by the Minnesota Boat club of St. Paul. In view of Coach O'Dea's reels-nation and the faculty stand against athletics of all sorts, It Is by no mean certain that the Badgers wilt b able to accept. Th race. If arranged, will be for the Schllts cup. The Schllts cup was offered several years ago to be competed for by elght-oared crews representing the University of Wisconsin and the Minnesota Boat club, the one win ning it four time to retain permanent possession of the cup. The Minnesota crews won the cup in suocesslon, but In 18S8 the Wisconsin eight captured the trophy for the first time and took It away with them. Since that time there has been no races between the two organisations and the cup has remained In Wisconsin. The Minne sota club has to win the cup but once more to retain it, while Wisconsin must win it three times. College golfer ar getting busy and schedules of matches during the spring season hare been arranged for the teams of several of the universities holding mem bership in the Intercollegiate Golf associa tion. Harvard has lost the Egans and several other prominent players by gradu atlon. but will put a strong team In the field, nevertheless. A. L. White, who has been elected captain, will be graduated this year, but will return to the law school. He did not play In the intercollegiate championship last year, but won the title in IBM by defeating Amateur Champion H. Chandler Egan. The Harvard team will play the Full River Golf club on the links at Somerset Junction on Msy 23. and on Memorial day will engage In Its third an nual contest with a team from the Massa chusetts Golf association on the Myopia Hunt club's course. Each association has won a match, the state organisation gain ing the victory lost year. Other matches are In process of arrangement. The Harvard Interolass and university championships will be played during the week of May 14 en a course In the Boston district. Yale this year has the prosldent of the Intercollegiate association la th person of WUlkm a Clow, Jr., who l a rest dent of Chicago and a golf enthusiast The team will not differ greatly from that of last year, but It will have less fHiUsJes for practice, as the couru r lacking that tl'h NV Haven Country dub, where student golfers hav privileges. Is to be rut vwn to nine holes. Thee matches hav been arranged: Morris Country club, April l; Hartford Oolf club. May 8; Montclalr, N. J., Oolf club, May 11; with Williams college at the Garden City Oolf club. May 19; at St. Andrews Oolf club, Chauncey, N. Y., May 26; at Englewood. N. J- Oolf club, June . Matches will also be played with the Wee Burn (Nor ton. Conn.) and Plalnfleld (N. J.) club teams. Th Princeton team ha been weakened by the loss of Its captain, F. O. Relnhart, former Intercollegiate cham pion, and Murray OUphant, but still In cludes D. Clark; Jr., Douglas Laird, B. W. Cockra, H. J. Oee, R. Russell and W. T. West Candidates are D. IL Bar rows and II. Peters, who plsyed on the team late last fall. Six spring matches have been arranged, beginning with the Philadelphia Country club at Bala this week, and It la hoped that a meeting with Yale will be brought about at Englewood early next month. These are the dates: April IS, with Montclalr (N. J.) Oolf club; May I or I, with Williams' college at Princeton. The championship ot the Intercollegiate Oolf association will b held at Garden City this year. Th date has not yet been fixed, but th under standing Is that th meeting will take place in October. Thl will be the second successive time that the tournament has been held at Garden City, and the third time in four years. Myopia having had It in 1904. Yale holds both the team and the individual championship, th winner of the latter last year having been Robert E. Abbott While th present trophy for the team championship of the Intercolle giate association will remain in play until won outright, the perpetual trophy offered by the United States Golf asso ciation has been formerly accepted. A complete list of the winning teams from the start will be engraved upon the new trophy. Carpenter's Letter (Continued from Pag Five.) smuggling from Canada Into the United States. I have bought goods in Ottawa and have had the merchants tell me that they could send anything over to ma free of duty, at any time I chose to order It A lady friend of mine examined a fine fur coat in Quebec the other day. The price was several hundred dollar and she told the merchant she could not afford to take It and pay the duty. He replied that she need not worry about that, and that he would deliver it to her at her home In New York duty fre on any day she chose to name. $ Jealons of the Americas. The Canadians of th west ar more In sympathy with the Americans than those of the east Indeed, I understand there is an old tory element here that lie awake night trying to find excuses for rubbing the International hair the wrong way. Thl element Is opposed to all things Amert can. It wants a tariff wall, higher than the tower of Babel, between the countries and would like to keep out Uncle Sam' nephew and nieces. It has been recently worried , because most of the nrngaslnes read In Canada are made In the United States and it has been asking the govern ment to charge an extra postage rate on such periodicals and thereby make the na tion go to bed early by falling to sleep over the dull English periodicals and so called funny papers. It Is largely this ele ment that made a fuss not long ago about our Associated Press furnishing most of the news matter for the Canadian papers, and it so agitated that subject that the Canadian government has subsidised a epe clal news service for Canada between th dominion and England. I am told that this service 1 regularly scooped by our Associated Press. In luetics to these neonle srenerallr. how ever, I want to . say that such things ar merely pimples on the body politic The average Canadian 1 a good fellow, fair. honest and full of common sens. He likes the American far better than the English man, and especially In the west does ho realise that the American Is helping most to build up th country. There Is no man more welcome and none who Is having; a larger share In all the opportunities and a squarer deal in all other respeota. America Women in Canada. Speaking of Jealousy between the two countries reminds me ot a little discontent which I discovered among our American women in Winnipeg. They claim, so I am told, that they hav not been received quite as well as they should be. Indeed, it Is said that th fair Wlnnlpegger, bank lng upon the blue blood of th British empire, think herself somewhat better than our American princesses, even though the latter be the daughter - of money kings. Indeed, there is what' might be called an American colony In Winnipeg whose member flock by themselves and who, In many cases, feel that they are unwelcome among the fashionable 400 of th pur Canadians. This American col ony Is rapidly growing and the mal mem ber of it ar among th chief men of the city. They hav already a high financial standing, and In the coming development will probably hold their place among th richest men of th west Their wives are well educated and are fully th equals of th Canadlennea. In th other cities of western Canada th women of th two nations ar mora closely associated and th . Americans are even more popular than the English. Th fashion her come from th United States and the home life of the people is about the satns. Nearly every town has Its women's clubs of a literary and social nature and many have club for golf and other sports. . Arlateeraey ef the Dellar. Indeed, about th only aristocracy In Canada Is th aristocracy of th dollar. The Canucks worship It quite as much as the Yankees, and they bend their knees even more humbly before It This la espe cially so In the case of the managers and officials of the chartered banks, who are In Canada, more than anything else, the visible emblem of the golden coif. These people have a position of their own and are quite on the top of the social heap. In the smaller cities th bank manager and his wife lead th (octal circle, and th $60 a month bank clerk thinks himself above the dry goods salesman over the way or the commercial traveler who msy have twice his brains and three times his salary. For why, the latter are In trad. In addition to th bank clerks and cap! tall st s Is th small society of nobility mad o by the favor of Great Britain. At the head of this Is th governor general. Earl Grey, a simon-pure nobleman appointed by th king. Next to him are a few sirs who have earned their titles by service to the country. These are chiefly railroad offi cials, or such men as Lord Strathcona, who was so long at th head of th Hudson's Bay company and who had much to do with building th Canadian Pacific , French Canadians. Indeed, as far as blue blood Is concerned, about the purest In Cansda flows through the reins of the French Canadians. Many of ths old families of this claas oan trace their ancestry back beyond the days of the Mayflower. They are descended from the feudal nobility created hers by the French kings during colonial days. They are proud of their ancestry, but on the whole are not as clannish or as exclusive as the English, who hare risen through money making to social prominence. FRANK O. CARPENTER.
