that L)ucky Is to be reckoned with all the

with a good pitching staff, even though he

are for strengthening Denver and Pueblo,
the two manifestly weak teams of the
league, and promt to become factor' In
the race. What Des Moines will do If
new set of umpires Is provided Is a guess,
but it Is reasonably certain that it will
not maintain the lead now credited to the
Champions. La fit season on the Les Moines

Sometimes the expected happens. When
Kourke left Omaha for Des Moines he ea

and he wasn't disappointed. Umpire Fuller
was on deck, and this made it absolutely
sure that Omaha would fall by the way
aide. The Des Molnei papers ascribe the
victories of their team to "daring base
running." It doesn't call for much courage
to run bases when you know the umpire
la going to call you safe, no matter what
happens. Persons who saw the decision
when Carter was fined and put out of the
game say that Fuller turned his back on
the plate while the play was being made,
and called the runner safe although it was
a forced run, and Gondlng had the ball
ten feet ahead of the runner. Such work
as this Is what has mad the trouble in
the league. The demand for competent
umpires has even reached the ears of

Minnesota's request for a foot ball game
with Chicago has been declined for the
same reason the conference games were
abolished. The Midway senate will not
tolerate any foot ball contest In which
local rivalry Is Intense. The Gophers
wanted a two years' contract, but Coach
Btagg waa forced to reply that Chicago
would not consider the proposal. The
Cornell game waa allowed because It waa
thought there would not be so much enmity
between eastern and western teams as be
tween local elevens.
Students feel confident that foot ball
will be played at Columbia In 1907. The
men most Interested In the question ex
press their belief that the resumption of
the game next fall is out of the question,
but they reason that the student com
mittee, seeing that there is no hope of
having their recommendation accepted,
will vote In favor of the graduates' commit
tee's suggestion that the game be resumed
the year following. If these two commit
tees combine they will outvote the faculty
committee, and the graduates' recom
mendation will then go to the president.
Further than thla it. la known that many
of the members of the faculty committee
are In favor of reinstating foot ball If a
scheme can be evolved that will do away
with the tendency of specialisation or the
overdevelopment of few men, and will
give a greater number of students an op
portunity of playing the game. The recom
mendation that the game be reinstated in
U07 if it be found to work satisfactorily
at other colleges In 1908 under tha new rules
would bind no one. It acquiesced in by the
LUthorltles. The question as to whether
or not the' new rules proved satisfactory
would be settled by the president alone.
and he would therefore be under no obliga
tion to reinstate the game, even If he
should approve the graduate recommenda
tion.
down such a course of action, or to folic
It on the field, but unless this spirit Is
shown by the players, the game of foot
bull will not last many years, and It ought
not to."
All the Omaha outdoor club have now
been formally opened and are ready for
business, lust wevk saw the opening of
the Country club and the South Omaha
Country club. Both these are In prac
tically new quarters, for the Country olub
has doubled the slse of Us house and re
modeled It until It Is hardly recognisable.
This was necessitated by the growing
popularity of the club which made the old
quarters entirely Inadequate for the needs
of the members. With the culinary de
partment doubled as well as the dining
room, porches and lodge rooms, the new
house will be amply sufficient for the needs
of the members for some time to come.
Chairman Cowglll of the house committee
haa made an Innovation for club houses
by hiring & woman steward and having
women waitresses. These would have been
taxed beyond their capacity Wednesday at
the opening had not the steward of the
Omaha olub lent a helping hand with his
corps of assistants. As It was, 290 were
cared for without much delay. The open
ing was made a great social event and
nearly all of the members attended' at
some time during the day and evening.
Golf was the principal sport of the day
and the members saw some of the beat
golf ever played In ftie west. Ralph Hoag-
land of Chicago waa vlBltlng In the city
and, accepting an Invitation to attend, the
handicappers put him on scratch. He won
from all In his division until he came to
Bprague Abbott, when he waa put out I
up. Abbott and R. R. Kimball fought It
out In the finals, which made fifty-four
holes for each of the players on the day
Abbott finally downed the auto man and
I ended a long day at golf In which some
brilliant scores were made.
Miss May Sutton is again In England and
league cities are well enough acquainted will meet the best tennis players in that
with the tactics of the rowdies to know
that the umpire' yarn is without a scin
tilla of fact In it bcyojd his admission
that he called a policeman to make Doyle
go to th bench.
Thla brings the discussion around to th
dispatch suspending -Doyle. On th even'
Ing of the explosion In Omaha a message
was sent gut from Chicago over th Asso
ciated Press wires, saying Doyle had been
Indefinitely suspended by President O'Nell.
The next day Doyle himself said he had
been suspended. At Denver Umpire Keefa
handed to Joke O'Nell a telegram sent
him from Chicago, Instructing him that
Doyle had been suspended. Now, O'Nell
say he has had no report of the case,
that he sent no message suspending Doyle,
or otherwise referring to the matter, and
pointing out that the Initials signed to
the message are not his initials. All of
this brings something to light that ought
to be mora fully explained. The common
belief Is that Cantlllon sent a wire to the
O'Nell secretary In Chicago, asking him to
suspend Doyle, and that the action wa In
accordance with the wishes of Mike, By
tha way, O'Nell says his office In Chicago
is In Charley Comlskey'a offloe. Does this

national matches. Therefore It was not
unnatural that th topical song writers
should hit on her. In the opinion of many
of th experts Miss Sutton would rank
with th men at the top of the game in

analysis of players' showings which was
made last season by one of the English of

a comparison as this Indicates th marvel

Th Harvard Bulletin, In commenting
upon th action of th overseers of the
university In permitting foot ball for th
coming fall, says: "A great deal more
depends upon th spirit in which th gam
la played than on th rule which govern
it. Th fundamental trouble with foot ball
is that it require physical combat and al
most puts a premium on hidden violation
of th rules- Many of these violations in
past years hav not been seen by th of
fictals, and many others hav keen see
ana not punished; even under the new
rule th umpire and referee will not be
able to detect all th unfair things that
can be don. It is not surprising under
these conditions that th player on th

their coacnea, have committed acts which
many of them, la their calmer momenta,

Unless some strenuous work Is done In
the near future Omaha will have no horse
racing this summer. Some of the lovers
of fast horses had pledged themselves to
go ahead and fix up Sprague Street park,
repairing the grandstand, building new
stables and fixing the track for the use at
matinees by the Omaha Driving club and
to pull off some regular races on tho Ne
braska circuit Just as the promoters
thought they had everything In readiness
to go ahead, the owner of the property
threw cold water on the enterprise by re
fusing to give a lease for longer than one
year. The horsement thought It inadvisable
to expend three or four thousand dollars
In flxlnk up a park for one year when they
had no assurance that the lease could be
renewed at the expiration of that time.
The ancient and honorable game of cricket
haa again been given a start by the follow
ers of the game In Omaha and from the
enthusiasm displayed enough will turn out
to Insure regular games. Before the start
of golf In Omaha, which took so many of
the cricketers away from that sport, games
were played every Saturday. The old war
horses at the game were J. B. Reynolds,
LJndsey, J. E. Buckingham, Harry Lavwrle,
J. Francla Douglas and many others. Many
of these, with new blood, have taken ad
vantage of the offer of the park board to
prepare grounds at Miller park and the
game Is again started. Omaha had a good
enough team to go anywhere to compete
for the honors at cricket and many games
were played with outside teams to the ad
vantage of Omaha.
Memorial day was well observed In
Omaha as far as the laws of Nebraska
apply to sports. The Western league soiled
ule did not give Omaha a game and none
of the leading amateur teams played here
that day. The golf committees at the
Omaha Field club refrained from holding
a golf tournament and the Field olub base
ball team took a day off. No game was
played at Diets park and Vinton Street
park was deserted and all this on as pretty
a day for base ball as could hav been or
dered. A request had been aent to Mayor
Dahlman aaklng him to take action on th
matter, but he simply let things drift and
all obeyed the law without watching.
Tha Omaha Rod and Gun club expect
to have Its new quarters ready for occu
pancy before many weeks and the members
will then have a house well equipped for
the purposes for which It was Intended.
The old building will be fitted up and th
new club house aoon constructed, a float
Ing dock will be built to accommodate th
rlae and fall of the water of the lake and
then the members can boat and fish an
swim from their own quarters. The new
location is west cf Courtland beach and as
soon as the Omaha A Couucll Bluffs Street
Railway company puts on Its summer
schedule of cars to the beach will be easily
accessible to all. FUb are mora abundan

settlers, who are planting orchards and
thus developing what promls to be on
of th great fruit raising regions of th
United States.
1 na give jrett tbe test Ulaa of this see-
tlon by describing what Is going on her
in the Wenatchee valley. This Is situated
in almost the center of Washington slate.
at the Junction of tho Great Northern rail
road with the Columbia river. It la almost
loo miles from the Pacific ocean and 209
miles south of our International boundary.
On th west of it are the Cascade moun
tains and on the east flows the wide Colum
bia, Into which the Wenatchee empties at
this point. The valley is narrow, but it is
cut up into Irrigated orchards, which are
watered chiefly by the Wenatchee river.
The most of it waa sage brush four or five
years ago, but It Is now as extenalvely
cultivated as any part of the union. There
are about 12,000 acres under water and
something like (,000 people here In the town
of Wenatchee and In the region adjoining.
New orchards are being set out on every
available spot. Five hundred thousand
trees were planted last year and a great
number this spring.
Ptve Acres Enough.
The most of the orchards here are small.
The average Is, I should say, not over five
acres, although some reach as high as
thirty or forty. The farmers say that Ave
acres is about all one man can properly
attend to and that this Is enough to make
a good living for himself and family. They
claim Uiat an orchard of that site, well Ir
rigated, will yield more In money than the
eastern man gets from a 820-acre farm. I
hear of Instances of orchardlsts making
tK0 and upward per acre. State Benator
Ounn tells me that John Hupp made 1,2&0
clear two years ago from three acres, and
at the same time had his living expenses
A year ago Rupp'a tract netted l,M)0, and
It is now rented at ISOO cash In advance.
I was shown a 1-year-old apple orchard
the other day within a stone's throw of
this town which haa yielded 1.2G0 boxes of
apples In one year. The fruit waa es
pecially fine and It sold for S7.60O. That
was the product of a single acre of land.
Dtsr Money tn Aprleots.
In addition to spples, the people here
claim to be making their fortunes out of
other fruit. A Mr. tUmmone has an apricot
orchard which has already netted a profit
of f00 per acre, and It Is said that Pan
Wood picked year , before last 1,900 boxea
of cherries from sixty-five trees, and sold
them at a- dollar a box. Ills slxty-flv
trees covered less than an acre, and th
total on year's receipts from that amount
of land were tl.300. The same orchard
netted only 100 last year, so the crops are
evidently variable. I hear soma ex
traordlnary fairy storlee about peaches and
plums, but there seems to be no doubt
that, with a Mg discount for exaggeration.
this region haa great possibilities.
Illgh-Prlced Lands.
The lands which will raise such fruit
are, however, comparatively scarce, and all
lands her ara aold at high prices. Tbe
raw prairie of the valley near Wenatchee.
If It can be Irrigated, brings 1260 per acre,
but this Is Including a perpetual water
right for which the companies charge about
f per acre. Lands which have been
brought under cultivation and planted In
trees sell for much more. The general In
crease Is a hundred dollars more per acre
for each year dating from the time the
trees are planted. At this rate a 1-year-old
orchard If not far from Wenatchee ought
to be worth l00, and a t-year-old I6O0 or
1400. Orchards In full bearing ar worth
what they will bring, ranging all th way
from tTOO to 11.000 per acre. These are the
prices given me by the real estate men
and the cltlsens here and they seem to
think thetn not extravagant. They say It
la all a question aa to how much the land
will pay on the Investment, and that an
orchard of five acre which will bring In
a year ought to be chesp at $6,000. At
the same time, If I were buying. I should
ronsldrr th chances of seal and other
fruit diseases, and would knock off a
pretty penny for blights and bad seasons.
It la fair to ssy, however, that an Irrigated
property never suffers from drouth, and
that the trees her ar tbe most healthy
of any I hav seen.
Th price I hav given ar those asked
for lands near Wenatch. I am tolj there
ar many valleys running north and south
all along th Columbia river which can
be Irrigated, and which wtil bear fruit a
well as thla valley. These lands are cheap,
varying In value according to their dis
tance from the settled country. Bom of
them can be bought for practically noth
ing, and there are some government lands
left. At present the only outlet for such
valleys Is by river steamers, but attempts
are being made to Induce the Great North
ern railway to run a branch up the Co
lumbia river valley, and If this Is done
every one of these regions will be rapidly
settled. At present I doubt whether all
the valleys have a population of 26,400, and
I am told there Is enough land to give
homes to ten times that number.
Wenatchee Apples.
The Wenatchee valley la known as the
home of the big red apple. Its fruits are
always scarce In the eastern markets and
they bring the highest prlcea. Borne of the
best apples are wholesaled In New Tork
and Boston at M a box and a box holds less
than a bushel. Buch applps bring U a box
at this station, and It eosts TB cents per box
on the fast freight to get them to Boston.
The apples are noted for their fine color
ing and flavor. They have no blemishes and
ar evenly good throughout. Borne of them
are of extraordinary stse. One shown by
C. A. Harris at the Portland exposition
weighed thirty-nine ounces and was eigh
teen Inches In circumference. That was
raised near taike Chelan, Just above her.
At Portland Wenatchee took more premi
ums than any other region, capturing
thirty-five out of eighty-five gold medals
awarded to this state for prise apple. I
hav not been to Chelan, but I am told that
the shores of that lake are bordsred with
apple tree and that a great apile country
la rapidly developing. Tnlrty thonsand
boxes were sold by on man there last year
to be sent to Burlington and Clinton, la.
The apples brought fl.30 a boa on tha
ground.

Amons the Orehnrdlats.
I took a carriage and drove up and down
thla valley the other afternoon. It la now
on series of orchards from end to end. The
houses almost adjoin on another, there
being one to every five jot ten-acre tract.
As a result the valley Is mora like a great
orchard village than the ordinary farming
country. The houses ar so close togaiher
that th woman can walk a few steps and
talk to their neighbors. Every house has
Its own telephone and th rates are from
II to $1 a month, with no restrictions aa to
number of conversations. Most of th
house hav pipe connections with the irri
gation werka, so that each home haa Ita
own hydrant, and most of them have bath
rooms and all modern conveniences. An
electric light system Is now being put Into
this orchard district and within a short
time nearly every one of there cottages, the
average of which did not coat more than
ll.OuO to build, will have Ita own e'ectrio
light eervlce. The rural delivery system
furnishes dally malls and the school build
ings have been so located that no child baa
more than a mile to walk to school. In ad
dition a system of country omnibuses Is
now being organised to bring In the school
children from the outlying districts.

Plow Thirteen Time a Tear.
Thess Wenatchee people know how to
raise fruit. They keep their plows going
from on end of the season to the other.
One man tells me that h plowed hi or
chard thirteen times last year, and th most
of th holdings ar kept as clean as a
kitchen garden. Th few slovenly orchards
I hav seen show the lack of cultivation.
Their trees have a rough bark and they are
not one-third as large as those in ths well
tended orchards. Trees grow much faster
her than In th eaat. On th Appl Pie
ridge of Virginia on seldom get fruit from
an orchard In leas than six or seven years,
and It Is ten or eleven before the apple
trees ar In full bearing. Here appl fruit
at five years, peaches at three and aprloou
at about tbe sam time.
The crop vary somewhat from year to
year. I know of on man who had ten acre
which he wanted to sell at 18.000, of which
K0OS waa to be vuh ai.d M.OoO on tlm. H
failed to find a urchaoer and kept on with
his cultivation, bis crop last year netted
hlia S4.O0O and be is bow looking shout for
aa additional orchard to buy.
