The season of golf Is on and th links at both outdoor clubs ara dally filled with devotees of the game. The committees at both the Field and Country clubs are busy fixing up the prises and cups which will be contested for during the season. ' In the realm of sport golf comes nearer being a one-man game than any other pastime which may be classed as a game, for a player may make the rounds of the links with none but Mr. Bogey as his op ponent. Oolf Is not only pleasant, bat most healthful as ell. Like foot ball. It may be played In any sort of weather, Cold and heat have comparatively little effect on tho golfers, for they can dress according to the weather and can regulate the gait at which they traverse the links according to the- height of the mercury In tha thermometer. A player may walk fast or slow In following up the ball or ha may run If he so chooses. He can bat tha life out of the little sphere or he can play billiards with It. He can go his own gait, provided he is not In a match where others are Interested. What can be Imagined more cheerful than the surroundings of an outdoor club house and tbe course? Long green fields of carefully kept grass, with sod smooth as a billiard table on tha greens, undulating stretches of green sward, with here and there a bunker to relieve the monotony and to make the golfer careful In hi play. Except fur these artificial and natural bunkers In the course, golf play ing would soon become monotonous, but .these little difficulties placed In the way, which are so easily overcome If the ball la played right, add life to the sport. Bunkers are a real serious matter when a player la off his game and cost many a hole. ''but who wants to play croquet?" Tls said the delight cf making a difficult aliot just aa planned will outlive a thou sand misses In the mind of ths one who makes It. and a victory over a worthy foe will sweep from the memory a thou sand defeats. Farmer Burns says wresting makes a man peaceable, and so golf gives a man patience and perseverance. .Woman' Golf Coantry Club. Although the real opening of the women's golf season at he Omah Country club la set for April 2. the Informal opening was had last Tuesday night at the Omaha club, when. Frank Colpetser entertained the women players of the club. The season for tbe men opens May 1 but the women will get busy the Monday before, Monday hav ing been decided upon as the regular tour nament day for women at the Country club. Mr. Colpetser be been appointed a special committee to look after th gulfing Inter est of th club and right well la b start ing with Lis work. H has already seouied prize donated by F. P. Klrkendill, Luther Drake, Howard Baldrlge. R. R. Busch, XV. B. Melkle. P. E. Iler and Fred Hamilton. More attention will be given to the woman's depsrtment of golf at tbe Country club this year, and that all the members are In sympathy with this move Is shown by the way they have come to the front with valuable prizes. Omaha has always had a few women golfers of the highest class and the directors hope to bring out several more good players by giving added Interest to the game. Fifteen women re sponded to Mr. Colpetzer's Invitation to dine with him at the Omaha club, and all promised to come out for the opening play, which will be for the quartet prises. These will be opjn to challenge and the holders at the end of the season will be declared the owner. The men's season will open at the Coun try club May 4 and the prizes for the open ing day will be the "Dozen Club Trophies.' These fobs will be beautifully engraved and given to the twelve winners at medal hand icap play. The competition will be similar to the conditions which govern the women's eight, as the holders will be subject to challenge of any other club member. A member may challenge for any 'Saturday arternoon, and If he does not mske good on his challenge It will cost him a forfeit Tennis Men Well Pleased. Tennis men were pleased to learn of the decision of the Country club to pay more attention to tennis during the coming sum mer than has been the custom at any pre vious time. The first move In the right di rection was the decision to perfect the two courts which are now at the club and to add two more courts, -making four In all, which will be kept In the best possible con dition. Every Inducement will be offered to the younger members of the club to practice up at tennis and see If they cannot wresue some of the honors which have been held by the Field club since that club was organised. When the Field club was nrst launched it was Joined by the best ten nis player of Omaha and these have seen that the gama has been kept going, the club being the best Influence for good ten nis of any organization In Omaha. BIG JEFF IS GOING ABROAD lame J. and Wife to Make m Tonr el Europe During- the Saunter. BAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. April 13.-If Bill Squires expect to fight Jim Jeffries for the heavyweight championship of the world as soon as he arrives In America he will be sorely disappointed. There will be nothing doing with the big fellow this summer. Already he and his wife have engaged passage on a big ocean liner, which sail from New York for Europe on June 11. Jeff has seen the sights of his own country. but the old world la an unexplored field with him. He ho planned several trips abroad, only to hav them bust up at the last minute. Jeffrie and his wife will be accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Dick Adam of San Francisco, friends of many yeais' standing. Just how long this jolly party will be away la uncertain. "Mrs. Jeffries will want to be gone four or flvo months," remarked Dick Adams, "but the big fellow, I suppose, will get un easy and want to kick back In about two month. It will be up to Mr. Jeffrie to hold him on the other side. My wife and I want to be away four months or so. so we will do the best we can to hold Jeff. We hav engaged passage on the Kaiser Wllhelm, which leaves New Tork on June 11. We are looking forward to a very de lightful time." "Then there 1 no chance of Jeff fighting this summer?" quizzed th scribe. "No, or no other time," retorted Dick." Jeff Is doing plenty well out of the ring. He has no desire to go back and his wife and mother are both dead set against him fighting. When you have two women like your wife and mother on your heels you are liable to do a they desire. Woman's Whist League. NEW TORK, April 13. From present In dications It looks as If the tenth congress of the Woman's Whist league, scheduled for May 8 to 11, Is to be the largest meet ing that has been held for some time. Whether It Is that the players from other cities find New York the most attractive meeting place, with strong approval of the Waldorf as the site of the congress, or whether It Is that the Interest in bridge is on the wane, matters not; the fact re mains that the corresponding secretary of the league, Mrs. Henry W. Newman, has been surprised and gratified at the num bers of entries that she has already re ceived for the Washington trophy and Philadelphia cup events. These show with no uncertain voice that the New York congress Is destined to be the largest meet ing that the league ha had for a number of years. A decision of the tournament committee of the congress to limit the number of tables In each section of the progressive games to thirteen Is one which Is certain to meet with universal approval. This will be especially of benefit to ths out-of-town players who. If the open pair games are run In large and unwleldly sections, are likely to be delayed In reaching borne. The short game of thirteen tables, with two deals against esch adversary. Is the ideal one for a large congress. Mrs. H. W. Cannon, the president, Is determined also that the games shall all begin promptly, which would mean that they would be over by 11 o'clock. The scores, according to ths Gllson method, are known immediately after the last card Is played. Delegates to the Boston congress last summer found this to be the Invariable rule. Ho Chicago-Michigan Game. ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 13. The die Is cast, and It will make no difference to Michi gan what Chicago a action Is, so far as toot ball la concerned. Baird. the manager, has scheduled the five games that is the limit in the conference class, and if Chicago adheres to the position that none of tbe "Big Nine" should be allowed to piay mere than this number, It will mean that the Maroons will uosltlvely be cut ore trie bill for next fall. Michigan lias been very backward about closing time with the men from tha midway, on account of not know lng under what rules ths men of Yost wccld work, and It would not look very well for Michigan to sign up and then concel after the big shout that went up from here after Chicago welched last year about coming through with a name. .The foitcwlng Is the schedule, aa far as arranged: October 5. Case Scientific school at Ann Arm October 1Z. M. A. C. at Ann Arbor: October 3u, O. S. U. at Ann Arbor; IsovemDer i, Vandrrbllt at Nashville; November 16. Pennsylvania at Ann Aibor.

THREE HUSTLING YOUNGSTERS. MICHIGAN OUT OF BIG NINE Wolverines Eefgie to le Found by few Bales en Fot LglL ATHLETIC RELATIONS ARE SUSPENDED Base Ball Game with Chicago Yester day Was Cancelled Principal Objection Was to rive Game Limit Rale. CHICAGO, April 13. All athletic relation between the University of Michigan and the other colleges composing the western athletic college conference were severed today because of the Indisposition of Michi gan to observe the- rules of the conference. It waa Insisted by the other member of the "Big Nine" that th rule adopted at the close of the foot ball season of 1905 limiting the playing time of all athlete to three years and the number of foot ball games to five, should be observed by Michigan, or that It should be left out of the conference. Michigan declined to prom ise to observe these rules, while playing teams from outside Institutions, and It was then announced that all athletic relation between It and other members of the con ference had been terminated. Mleblaran Refuses to Yield. The meeting was called at the Instance of Dr. C. P. Hutchlns of Wisconsin, the pres ident of the faculty committee of the In tercollegiate conference. Those present beside Dr. Hutchlns were A. A. Stagg and A. W. Small of Chicago, N. O. Weatherly, Indiana; T. F. Moran, Purdue; A. G. Smith, Iowa; R. E. Wilson and I. O. Glllesby of Northwestern; H. V. Lane and H. M. Bate of Michigan. Th University of Minnesota was not represented. It was represented to the men from Michigan that It could hardly be expected that the other colleges could be bound by the rules of the conference while Michigan was not, and that Michigan could rot under such circumstances remain In good standing. Michigan protested against the retroactive clause of the rule making three years the full playing term for members of tho foot ball teams, and also objected to the five-game rule. After such debate it was found that neither side would recede from Its position. Base Ball Games Cancelled. A game of base ball between Michigan and Chicago was scheduled for today, but It was postponed until after the conference. After the conference It was postponed In definitely and all the games between Michi gan and the University of Illinois and those with Northwestern university were like wise cancelled. The committee also decided that no mem ber of ths conference shall hold athletic re lations with schools, competing for state championship, that do not observe con ference rules. Hooney Wins Match.

Practice r smes have hen the feature of the week's practice at Crelghton uni versity. The weather d'iring the first ptr: of the week was verv unfavorable, hut thr nmatrurs wrr out with as much ,vlm an'' pepper as though It wns bslmv wertther Thursday the team Mosromrl out In new suits, to which we may attribute the hri' Hant playing. All must admit the hrllllnnc of Flshhnck's catch In Thursday's game He has since assumed the name of "IMc: Merrlwell" for his spectacular perform ances, the first of which occurred In th. White 8ox game. The NittlnR average of ' the team Is high at present, nnd the game i with the professionals Thursday did not ' bring it down, exept In one nr two In stances. Stratton, the reserve pitcher, who batted for Zellers Thursday and brought In the first score, has gnlned the confidence of the fans aa a batter. He will pitch some before the senson Is over. He has excellent form and ha material for a fast man. The manager has given out the following schedule, which, however. Is conditional. The games with the University of South . Dakota and St. Thomas' college, which he i has scheduled for Omaha, are not yet con I traded for, and there Is no dctermlnatlo' yet reached concerning the datts with th.

GISI SEASON SOW CLOSED TIGHT New Law Puts Ban on Shooting; and Sportsmen Torn to Fishing. The days of the hunter are over In Ne braska until September IB. The new laws make a closed season for the man with the gun from April 10 until Beptember 15, when he may hunt for prairie chicken, grouse, ducks and geese and Jack snipe, Wilson snipe, yellow legs, dove and plover. Some of these provisions are of no nse as far a the hunter Is concerned for the plover come along in June, the snipe In the spring. This was an exceptional spring and many of the Omah nlmrod were able to Jump Into the marshes the first of last week and return with good slsed bags. Hunter say It may be a long time before the Jacks get around again in the spring In time for the local hunter to get at them before the law Is up. With the stringent law against ummer hooting being enforced the Omaha sports men will have to turn their attention more to Ashing for which the prospect were never as bright a they are at the present time. The numerous plants which have been made In Cut Off lake by Commissioner O'Brien are bearing fruit and Judging from the way the early fishermen are catching strings the fishing will be great at this newly discovered summer resort. "Olson knows the very spot, but how shall I get there" Is a common saying among fishermen at the lake for the pop ular baker seems to be able to go out at any time and get a nice string of fish. As one wag put It, "Olson knows Just where the fish are going to eat and the time of their lunch and he manage to get there with the food they like."

Captain Franck sent McNeeley to do the nrst honors for Omaha and he worked lor five Innings, during which time Wichita nade four of lis five hits, a he was not .rylng to bend them at all, but simply putting them over straight, whil . both Speer and Ragan twirled In midsummer form, using all sorts of curve and speed. How the Score Came, Omaha was the first to cros the' horn plate and It came about In thl way In the second Inning: Dolan hit a popup to Holland which the old Western leaguer dropped, and then Belden singled, which sent Dolan on to third, from which point of vantage he scored when Graham flew out to Bayllss. Wichita tied the cor In the third Inning with the only run it waa able to make In the game. Speer hit for a clean single over Austin's head and waa sacrificed to second and brought home by Hetilng's single. Autrey made the next run for Omaha la the fourth Inning. He reached first on an error by Annl and circled the base a minute later, when Dolan hit a hard one which went past several of the fielder. Including shortstop, before they could get their tinge: s on the ball. The flnal run of the game was made by Austin In the eighth Inning.
