While wg ara walling for tha National
, board to get together and award Topeka
to tha Western league, which mar be dona
within a fortnight, let ua not overlook the
fact that Papa Bill haa bean busy all tlra
nhlle and now haa quite a likely looking
Oti of wood corded up for consumption
tiding tha aeaaon that will Boon open. To
begin with, In a few daya lesa than four
weeks tha aeaaon will be commenced by the
fixture between the Originals and tha
Rourkee. The family will begin to congre
gate within a few daya, and active training
at tha Vinton Park will be under way.
Papa Bill doean't take much to tha fancy
training stunts. . Ma la principally con
cerned with seeing that bla men get lo
cated some place where they can get
enough to eat. Bill had enough of the
economical ball player a couple of yeara
ago, whan ona of hla malnataya Instated on
living on IS oenta a day when at home In
order to aava as much of hla salary aa
poaetble. A player who doean't eat enough
and eat regularly can not play good enough
ball to hold hla Job In Omaha any mora.

out and tha newcomers are Instructed in
tha subtleties of base bail and tha men
. get acquainted and learn what each other
can do and will do In a pinch. That'a all
there la to It.
' Howard Trade for Hall.
During tha week Ivan Howard waa
traded to Belden Hill for a pitcher by tha
name of Hall. Hall did right well at
, Cedar Rapids laat year and will be given
a thorough chance here. Howard will
greatly strengthen tha Cedar Rapid's team
and can eaally be apared from Omaha,
where ha would have had to play utility.
He waa quite a popular youngster and ha
work last aeaaon made him look very
good to tha fana. But with Francka, White
and Austin there waa no place left for
Howard on the Infield, and with Autrey,
Weld" and Belden tha outfield was fairly
well filled, so he was available to' trade
for a pitcher and the deal waa finished.
In Event of Eight Clans.
Schedule making for tha Western league
la held up waiting tha decision aa to tha
fctght-club circuit. It haa been reported
through the underground circuit that
Pueblo la to open In Omaha on April 18.
That will be all right Frank Belee la
good old pal, and we'd aa aoon beat him
aa any man. In the league. This may all
be changed, though. The magnates are
preparing to land two claaa A taama with
out delay, though. In tha event that To-
peka cornea through. Dick Coolay haa
about alz men now who are of class A
caliber. Among theaa la a pitcher,
catcher and an outfielder. He would need
about night new men to make hla team
up to tha mark. BL Joseph would have to
be provided with an entire aet. This, Is
tha question before the house, and it la un.
fretood that President O'Nell haa the raat-
'J r well In hand. He haa been on the
lookout for man who can be ' easily se
cured and has negotiations well under way
with the big league - magnates - for their
cast-off, ao that the two new Western
taama Can ' be started even with the
othera. This means that with tha fine
prospects for getting Topeka and fit Jo
seph In the circuit the Western outlook la
really better th i It haa been for aeveral
seasons.
O'Nell and the I'mplrti.
The announcement that Jack Haskell Is
to umpire in the Weatern league was about
1 the best evidence that President O'Nell could
have given that he la going to attend to
bualneaa during tha coming summer. With
umpires of tha capacity of Haekell tha
games should be real contests and not tha
farces witnessed ao often laat aeaaon. It
waa the quality of the umpiring that really
harmed the gamea and caused all the
trouble. Good salaries have been arranged
for during tha coming aeaaon and first
class men ought to be secured. - O'Nell
haa announced hla Intention of standing
behind hla umpires, and this means that
better discipline will be kept The spectacle
of Hogrelver or some similarly disposed
rowdy rushing out on tha field with a
atreain uf profanity and vulgarity pouring
from hla mouth, to the disgust of the
patrons In the grandstand, will not be one
of the feat urea of the game. If President
O'Nell will only do what ha promises to do
In thla line he will be forgiven for much
that he haa not done In the past

a bright one even thla early In the season.
All the veterana of laat year's aquad who
are still In school have reported and with
an additional aquad of new material it la
already evident that every position will
be fought for and the team thla year will
be "survival of the fittest." Delaney, who
at St. Mary's university In Kansas and at
St. Thomaa college at Bt Paul, Minn.,
made a record aa first baseman and haa
a batting record of .49, and Fltsgerald,
former catcher for Highland Park school.

The old players who will be on this year's
team are Penrlergast. McNally, Whitehead,
Stratton. I.anlgan. McShane. Ween. Fish
bark and Captain Mullen. With these old
players and the additional recrulta who
are all well versed In base ball, there la
no reason to doubt that Crelghton univer
sity will retain the pennant which It won
last year. Manager O'Malley atatea that
he haa prospecta for twenty games. He la

South Dakota and Colorado and with Bt.

Bowlers Headed for Bt. Loots.
Five complete teama of bowlers will go
from Omaha ta Bt Louis to attend the
American bowling congress which la to
be held there March IS to SI. Local bowlera
expert some of these teama to bring back
some of the bacon from thla trip, aa Omaha
haa some bowlera of no mean caliber. The
Stars Blue Ribbon team la looked upon as
having a good chance at some of the big
money and tha Falataffa are also expected
to be In the running. The teams which
will go are the Mets, Krug Parka. Store
Blue Ribbons. Falataffa and Hamlltons.
Tha Hamlltons will be made up of picked
men and may surprise the followers of the
game In Omaha, while the other teama will
go aa they have been playing here this
winter. The Life Malt team will leave
Wedneaday for Denver to attend the west
ern bowling tournament, which will be held
at Denver. ,
. Parr to Meet Bnrns.
Jimmy Parr, champion wrestler of Eng
land, will meet Farmer Bums at tha
Auditorium Tuesday night and for thoae
sports who were aaylng Wedneaday night
they would like to eee Bums matched with
a man who waa nearer hla equal, here la
their chance. Parr la one of tha top
notchers In the business and ranks along
In the second claaa just a trifie below
Hackenechmldt and Ootcn. He la the only
man who haa met both Hackenechmldt
and Ootch. The wrestling game haa taken
a firm hold on the Omaha public and all
are keyed up now to eee the top notchera
strive for supremacy. Over 1000 people
turned out Wedneaday night, which was
one of the worst nlghta In the year because
of the heavy cold,, drlsallng rain, and
hundreds were kept away by the In
clement weather. No doubt tha big struc
ture will . be taxed to accommodate those
who wish to go Tuesday night to see Parr
and Burns. Theae matches are attracting
large numbers from the atate and Wadnea
day night there were twenty-one lovera
of the game who came from Tekamah espe
cially to witness tha match. Nor were
they at , all disappointed, for none could
say Farmer Burna did not have hla handa
full to put Waaem to the mat While
not atrong enough to put the Farmer at
any disadvantage, atlll he was atrong and
fast enough to make It a task for the
Farmer to- throw him.

There haa been Intermittent professional
coaching regularly for ths golf and fencing
teams, and thla will be continued If not
extended. The Tale Idea la that the bent
technical Instruction la the right of every
athlete In his sport, and at tha eame time
the ground la taken that the professional
coach acta aa a balance wheel, a deterrent
to over exertion, and that hla presence Is
more beneficial than that of the recent j
graduate, who as head coach might aac-
rtflce more to have any given team win
than any professional can be Induced to
yield.
Katrlee la Amatear Billiard Toorney,
Some changes have been made In the en
tries for the national amateur billiard
championship tournament and the list la
finally closed with seven competitors. Both
of the Cleveland entrants retired and Da
Munn Smith, tha St. Louis amateur who
has figured In many previous meetings,
haa aent In hla entry by telegraph, and
becomes a competitor. The othera on the
list remain unchanged, the cumber In
cluding Edward W. Gardner of Passaic,
N. J.; Calvin' Demarest anl Charles P.
Conklln, Chicago Athletic club, Chicago?
F. Mortimer 8. Rolls, Belmont Cricket
club, Philadelphia; Dr. L. L. Mlal of thla
olty, and J. Ferdinand Poggenburg, Lled-
erkran club, this city. The entry of De
Munn Smith la regarded aa an acquisition
to the tournament. He la of the atyle of
tha late professional Frank C. Ives and
hla playing against Mullen, Foss and Mc
creary waa a feature of the old claea A
matches at the now disbanded Knlcker
bocker Athletic club. The 8t. Louis ex
pert hss not played In a tournament In
the pest three years, his last appearance
having been In the tournament of 1904, at
the Llderkrana club. Hla game la reported
to have strengthened materially, aa he haa
been constantly playing against the pro
fessional Sploks, with high runs and aver
ages at the 14.1 balk line game. With seven
entries the tournament, which begins Mon
day, March 4, at tha Llederkrani club, will
consist of twnnty-one matches. Edward
McLaughlin will act aa referee.

Farmer Bnrns on Wreatllngr.
Farmer Bums again gave a abort lecture
on wrestling. Before he had his boe
Raymond and Charles, go on with their
bout, he gave a continuation of hla ad
drees. "Wrestling Is a most manly art
and la . a game whloh requires strength
more than any other," said Farmer Burna.
"It teaches a man to be peaceable and la
a game at which two brothers can test
their strength to the limit without losing
their tempers. Wrestling develops the neck
more than any other sport. A good wrestler
haa a neck measurement, of IT lnohee."
Burn had hie boys go through some pre-
-Umlnary tn'nja ,whlle he counted, showing
ne , had ' teamed them especially for that
exhibition. The exercise waa principally a
bridge for, neck development, and In their
match they, showed the exercise had done
Its work,' for the smaller of the two boys
waa. able to bridge and hold the weight
of hla larger brother. The boya also box,
but aa boxing Is barred at the Auditorium
they Were not allowed to give their exhi
bition. The Farmer said he did not want
hla boya to be "wraelers," for he thought
they could do better In other walks of
life, but he wanted them to do the game,
aa It might stand them In good stead and
it surely waa good exercise for them.
"The reason Farmer Burna can 'wrasle'
at tho age of 46." said the Farmer, "la be
cause during my entire life I never drank.
smoked, chewed, swore or drank tea or
coffee. These five things are all Injurious
to a man's physical condition, and .he who
would live long and be strong would do
well to abstain from them. I have had my
boya sign a pledge that they will do none
of these thlnge nor steal until they are a
years old. and I guess by tha time they
won t want to do any of thoae things.'
A good story has been going around about
the Farmer. While Burna waa In a amall
Iowa, town a big fellow came along who
was a wrestler and he aald he could throw
all comers. Sports who knew Farmer
Burns saw a chance, and, putting the
Farmer next, they had him go Into the-beck
yard and atari to sawing wood, They then
got the stranger to boasting, when one of
the men spoke up and aald:
I'll bet there la a farmer in the back
yard aawtng wood who can throw you."
"You re on," aald the stranger.
Burns waa sent for and he came In
carrying hla buckaaw. A match waa made
and the fellow put up all the money he
had, which was 30.
It took Farmer Burns just two mlnutea
to get the money.

The story of how Jim Parr came to win
the championship of England la not gener
ally known on thla side of the water, but
It ta an Interesting atory, one whloh the
typical American appreciates whenever It
ia told, because It Is the story of a man
who succeeded agalnat all comera, and
Americans admire wlnnera. When he waa
29 yeara of age and he la 80 today Parr
entered a wrestling tournament In London.
There were sixteen men In It beside him
self, . and some were corking good ones.
Parr and another fellow had thrown every
other man , and when It came down to
them the tenalon ' of every nerve was
drawn to the' breaking point. Both men
were at their beat.' They went Into that
final tug-of-war to win. Parr won, but not
until he, had wreatled his adversary full
fifty mlnutea It waa aald to have been
one of the moat terrific struggles ever
waged In England or any other country.
Like-most European sports. Parr, having
woo hla spurs In the old country, made for
the new world. He has wrestled some of
the. best In America, among them Dan Mo-
Leod, whom he threw. Parr makes his
home In Buffalo. He Is wealthy and Is con
templating a life of retirement' after tha
coming summer. Like . Farmer- Burna,
whom he will meet . at the Auditorium
Tuesday night. Parr never drinks. He
leads the exemplary life.- He. la ten yeara
the Farmer's junior, but nearly the same
alxe. Burna la t-8tt and weighs from 168 to
170, while Parr la 6-8 even and welgha from
171 to 178.
Farmer Burna worked out Saturday after
noon at Morgan'a gymnasium with Wasem
and Hooker. He Is training hard for his
match with Jim Parr next Tuesday night
at the Auditorium. The Farmer wrestled
for quite a time wltn each of theae and at
the end waa ready for a rest Hooker la
the 238-pound wrestler who appeared In the
preliminaries last week at the Auditorium.
He la a powerful man. . Burns at 44 Is one
of the beat developed athletes now before
the public He haa lived an abstemloua

CINCINNATI. O.. March l-Captaln Oan
ael, with the catchers and pitchers of the
Cincinnati National league baae bull team
left tonight for Marlla Bprlnge, Tex.,i for
preliminary practice.
With a phenomenal rally at the cloae of
a most spectacular game of basket ball
the Omaha High school team won over the
atrong team of Bouth Omaha by one lone
point The acore at the end of an hour'a
hard playing and suepense waa M to 86.
The gymnasium waa packed with specta
tors from both schools and tha nolae waa
aimply deafening moat of the time, followed
by Instants of perfect alienee aa the for
tunea of the game swayed back and forth.
Older heada than the High school boys
went "fussle wuaxle" over the brilliant
playa and quick rallies.
During the first half everything looked
like a victory for South Omaha. The Bouth
Omaha boya In their scarlet Jerseys slid
over the floor and played all around the
white clad boya from the big city. Goal
after goal waa thrown In quick auccesslon.
until South Omaha had a safs lead. At
the end of the half the score waa 16 to Vt
In their favor.
With tha opening of the second half
Bouth Omaha again forged ahead and
brought the score up to 29 before the Omaha
boya got their eyes open. Then the boys
from the north began to play. Exceedingly
lucky at throwing fouls and playing -With
great rapidity and skill they gained until
a final foul gave, them the point to tie the
acore. Another minute and Bouth Omaha
forged to the front again, making 81 point
to 80. By another goal Omaha went to
32. when, by error, time waa called two
mlnutea too aoon.
During the confusion the Omaha boya
were tossed on the arms of their aurport.
ere when the timekeepers coiled the game
again and It waa found that the official
acore showed that Omaha had no lead, but
that the correct acore waa 81 to SI. Each
aide" made goals during the two minutes'
play and foule were thrown by each, mak
ing the eeore atlll a tie when time waa
called. The aide winning two additional
points first waa to be winner.
The rootera went wild and crowded
eagerly on the playera at times. Each side
played with all Its mlaht. Omaha threw
a foul basket, and In turn Bouth Omaha
did the same. Again South Omaha wna
penalised at an unfortunate moment, and
Arnsteln dropped the winning ball through
the basket. DeYoung of South Omaha
played a phenomenal game, but little better
than any other member of the team. The
Omaha center played well also. The lineup:
Omaha. Bouth Omaha.
Durdlck forward Cohn
Arnsteln forward Krug
Johnson i.. center DeYoung
Nagl guard Klddoo
Neavlea guard Barclay
however, that coursea whleh hare been
lengthened several hundred yards have
come In for considerable adverse criticism.
The never ceasing struggle for low scores
hss become almost a erase, from the
scratch man down to the duffer. Seven
years ago a i,0 yard coarse, properly
bunkered, was considered a good test. In
those days the amateurs were elated at
seres of 00 or less. Take almost any course
under 6,000 yards now and glance at the
records. Almost Invariably marks of 70
or even lower will be found. Having once
become accustomed to setting round In low
figures, the averace player dlsliaes to see
an end to It all, hence the many complalnta
received by committees that nave gone to
the other extreme.

The bowling for the last week on the
Metropolitan alleys was the best that has
been done for a long time. All gamea were
close and Interesting, there being no change
in tne standing, aunougn tne coming week
will probably find teama dislodged from
their respective places.
The Falstaffs are now, without a doubt,
the pennant winners of 9CS-dH. The Life
Mans, tne ex-cnampions of ISAfc-OB. are will
ing to bet they will remain In second place,
which they now hold. The Omaha Bicycles
have a slight advantage over the Colts and
Gold Tojie for third position, and If the
uany .-ews continue tneir good work they
will have a lookln. The Black Kata, Ar
mours, Kl Caudlllos and O'Brien have all
got a chance for sixth place.
Berger hasx now broken away from the
bunch for high Individual, leading with an
average of W4. which leaves Klauck Judy,
Levigne, Dudley and Beealin to fight for
second place.
Captain Patterson of the ' Dally News
raised hlh three-game refcord this week bv
making 654, coming within one pin of tying
Beselln's hlsh score of 2Ti&.

CORXH18KER SCIIEUtLK FOR YEAR
Manager Eager Gives Oat Dates for
Gamea.
LINCOLN, March 2. (Speclal.)-Manager
of Athletica linger has promulgated Ne
' braska university's foot ball schedule for
tne seasun ot iwi as follows:
September 29 Open, In Lincoln.
October 6 Bouth Dakota university. In
Lincoln.
October 12 Qrtnnell college, in Lincoln.
October 1 Minnesota university, in Min
neapolis.
October 26 Iowa university, In Lincoln.
November 1 Ames Aggie, In Lincoln.
November ft Kansas university, in Law
rence.
November 14 Wisconsin university. In
Madison.
, November 23 Doane college, In Lincoln,
Thanksgiving Open, In Lincoln.
Manager imager's schedule labors are not
yet complete, because of the Incomplete
ness of the negotiations for a Thanksgiving
day game, but ne is quite content, as tne
other bookings go to make up the moat
satisfactory foot ball schedule ever ar
ranged at the Cornhusker Institution. This
schedule gives Nebraska three (amis with
"Big Nine" institutions. Minnesota, Iowa
and Wisconsin. whUe the Ames contest ia
equally attractive, as the Iowa Aggies de
feated both Nebraaka and Iowa last
year, at once taking rank with the strong
western teams. Ames, in fact, was en
titled to the collegiate championship of the
Missouri valley. Bt. Ixiuia university was
also a cluimant, but the Mound City school
failed to observe the customary eligibility
rules. i
The Nebraska manager Is confident of
booking a strong attraction for the turkey
day game In Lincoln, lie was for a time
considering an agreement to take the Corn
huskers to Bt. Louis, but this has been
abandoned, the Cornhusker athletic authori
ties refusing to sanction any arrangement
whereby the Nebraska eleven would go
away from home on that date. Colorado
university Is a strong possibility for the
Thanksgiving day game, while Denver uni
versity end Colorado School of Mines also
may be considered.
OPEX SEASON FOR 4UA1LS NOW
AsaeadBaeat Made te Hoase Bill
FIslagT Dates aa Game.
The house bill relating to the open season
for game was radically, changed when it
came up for consideration In the senate last
week. One of the most Important altera
tions was a provision frr an open season
for quail from November 1 to November 16,
The bill, as It came from the house, pro
vided no open season for nuall. but a storm
of protest came from all sections of the
state saalnst the cutting out of quail shoot
ing. Bvma of the cpnonent of the closed
soason contended that a short open season
was really beneficial to the quail themselves
because It scattered them and stopped their
flocking with disastrous results. It Is
claimed they do not propagate as rapidly In
droves, and in storms are more apt to
smother from parking loo closely toeether.
The other changes make an abetlutely
closed soason on all kind of birds from
April 10 to September 15. The open eeeapns
provided for In the amended bill are as
follows: Prairie chicken. Bag hens an
grruse. from September IS to November 16
wild ducks. ge-a. brsndt. cranes end other
