JUDGMENTS
MONO othrr rinds of the year must
Abe counted Captain "Buck'" Franck
of the Omaha team. When hu was
playing short with Colorado
diiiiiS a f' W season j ago he was
let-Km.ed a good mechanical player, but
w.ts not credited, with possessing any espe
cial qualities Of leadeishlp. Even his ex
perience on the coant failed to disclose tbut
peculiar capacity which now marks him.
He was looked upon aa a good ball player,
steady and reliable, both. In the field and
K V. - A . . 1 ui,i, I. . . ,
little more. When Kourk decided to make I
hlm captain of the tram It waa something
of an experiment. Dolan had been tested,
and so had aonrilng. Hoth men had filled
the bill well, but nrlther wanted the tr
epnniilblllty, su It remained for Franc k us
the other veteran to take charge of the
youngsters. To say he haa made good but
nil I dly expresses the local admiration for
his qualities, lie has more than made good,
he has shown himself to be possessed of
the rarest of Judgment and a leader of
ball players equal to the beat. Ills gener
alship Is such as has pulled Omaha through
many a tough game already, and keepa hla
opponent continually on the watch. He I
a close student of the game, knows all Its
angles, and above all knows what his own
men and what the other fellow's men can
do. This Is shown by his record. He leads
the loaguo In run getting, Is almost at the
top as a sacrifice hitter and aa a base run
ner, and has shown his quality as a fielder
and better. Iiut It's In strategy he excels,
and under his tutelage the Omaha team la
rapidly developing a working knowledge of
the "Inside" game that will make It the
terror of the league before July Is ended.
With the skill and ability of Rourko and
Franck " combined, It will be a source of
wonder If Omaha finishes very fur from
the top this season.
Coach Courtney la leading the move to
have the course at 1'oughkeepslo cut from
four to three miles, arguing that the strain
of the last mile Is such as nearly always
permanently Injures the oarsmen who take
part In the race. Aa Courtney's crews have
held first place at their mercy for many a
day, his voice ought to have weight In
the council to which the proposed reform
will be submitted. If anything of merit
Is found In his objection to the distance.
It should be made shorter. The prime
object of college sport Is to develop the
bodies of the youth of our land, and If a
four-mile race Is too great a distance to
be safely rowed, no hesitancy should -be
shown In cutting It to three or even two.
Norman Hapgood In Collier' preached
quite, an Interesting sermon on the general
topic of trying to win, regardless of the '
distance. It Is good doctrine, not only
for amateurs, but professionals. The ono
greatest objection to professional snort,
baseball always left with a suspicion that
tho result was agreed upon before the
Contest was started. A a rule amateurs
may be depended upon at all times to do
their level best, but this la not true of the
professionals, and It ha hurt all the
branches of sport except one, and even
base ball, aa wa pointed out In thla
column recently, haa suffered from the
player who loafs.
Central control for college base ball Is
now demanded, for the purpose of deter
mining which team la really champion.
As It standa the title goes to a team
than which at least three are reckoned
the stronger, but have never had the
opportunity of a real test. Championships
won by elimination are not always th moat
satisfactory kind.
One of the home roosters want to know
If Papa Bill doesn't want Jack Thomas on
first. If that home roaster will look at the
batting and fielding records of the Western
league for the season he will soon see the
answer. Dolan Is playing a game that
Thomn never could equal.
The race In the Western league Is stllf
one of the prettiest In the country, with six
teams as possible pennant winners. Dee
Moines, Omaha, Lincoln and Denver have
been making a warm struggle for six week
now, with prospect of continuing It In
definitely. Effort are being made to revive bicycle
racing In the east, but In the west the sport
eeiiis to be as dead as the dodo. Omaha,
whore a regiment of speed merchant once
hod Its headquarters, ha hardly a rider
outside tho messenger corp.
The American eagle I greatly concerned
In that "championship" fight on July 4.
Burns Is from Canada and Squire from
Australia. And Yankee Doodle Is still Arm
In tho belief that Jeff Could lick both In
one ring.
Louis Flecher, who la ever faithful, pro
poses to have a motor-cycle race meet on
the Fourth. One thing about Louie that
always made the old gang love htm Is hla
optimistic enthusiasm.
Prospective campers should remember
that it I a long way to the drug store
nnd should not neglect the medicine case.
In no event should the Jug be overlooked.
Kimpson' win at Hinsdale Is all the more
popular beer, use ho didn't figure in the
calculation of tho wise ones, most of
whom could see nobody but Anderson.
Talk about luck! Lincoln and Omaha
found Denver In the very finest of fettle,
sn.l In- Moines gets a patchcd-UD team of
Teddy Hears.
The east Is Just discovering that Frank

BnM Wagon at Drnle.
A recent Issue Of the Round-Up of Brule,
Neb., says:
The unsuspecting cltlsen of Brule ob
served a bright red streak hiking ahead
of a cloud of dust coming along on the
'd "Mormon Trail" road. This bright and
i rtiiiuiiiM eu'vi irwjivra liBru mill out- Ul
these locoed buggies with the ponies undor
cover In front and two young fellows In
red leather clothes. As they swing Into
town, Ike Anderson opens up his corral
and weves them In. No good thing gets
away from Ike, and here he has Brule's
nrsi automobile wnere everybody bas a
chance to get In touck with the sport of
the effete east.
Ike acta none too aoon, for thl afore
mentioned cloud of dust turns Into old Dug
Hltchens' herd of shorthorns, led by a
big, busy bull, which usually hangs out In
the east pasture of the old S-Bar Ranch.
Being somewhat curious, they break
through the barb-wire fence to get a close
look at this funny red wagon. The bunch
breaks up when the buggv gets out of
sight and begins to do business with the
grnss on the edge of town.
These two young fellows that floats In,
after checking a bad cough In the buggy,
show credentials for being from New
Tork, also Cleveland Auto club one prov
ing up F. L. Work and the other C. J.
Maxaon. They say the hot-box thev are
riding In Is an Oldsmoblle flying roadster,
and they are on the way to 'Frisco. Fur
thermore, tbey have the tooting push of
forty horses all tied Into four Iron cans
about big enough to carry day' supply
of llcker for a henlthy man.
It's right all rlght-for Mr. Work In
vited us to place ourself on the oft sest
then he winds 4f up and took us out to
Bob Tucker's place and hack. We will
say right here anything, anyone says
about this brand of canned horse goes
with us we believe we know.
About the time we get caught up with
our breath fhy getting back to town) Dug
Hltchens hikes Into the game blood In
eye and two guns that acta nervous. Dug
he wants to know "who nays for the
busted bsrb-wlre fence Who pays for
shooing the herd home? To say nothing of
the weight the steers worked off coming to
town" considerable pow-wow ensues.
We finally argues with Dug that con
sidering these parties bring fame to Brule
they should have the best our beautiful
city haa to offer. Ouraelf with Ike con
vlncea him nd adinarn with rrnr distin
guished visitors to the "Bud Bush." Long
will the memory of thla day remain with

SIMPSON A GREAT GOLFER
Omaha Country Club Professional
Now Heads the List.
YOUNGSTER, WITH A GREAT DRIVE

Htlu mm Amonsr the Host and
He Was Well Backed
to Win.
Robert Flmpson, golf expert at the
Omaha Country club, won tho western
open championship Thursday and Friday
by playing some remarkable golf at Hins
dale, where the tournament was held. When
the report came across the wires that It
had taken him an 84 to make the 18 holes
on the opening forenoon, some of his Omaha
admirers lost hope and still when he
ranged eighth at the end of the first day
there was little hope of him getting first
and money was wagered he would not
finish one-two-three,
Simpson showed his stamina when he
went out the second day and made 73 and
a 74, almost perfect golf. He beat a
splendid field of players and deserves all
the credit bestowed upon him for his up
hill game.
In the mlnda of those who hav been
watching his game of late It wa almost
foregone conclusion he would make a
good showing at Hinsdale, judging rrom
the class of golf he haa been playing since
coming to Omaha, At first his short gamo
wae bad, but with practice that Improved,
and aa he alwaya waa a magnificent driver
hla game reached a el age, which wa a
marvel. So much did h Improve that
during the last month he ha been dally
making scores of 73, 74 and 75, on th
Country club course of 6.100 yards, which
la the same length as the Hinsdale course,

CONTROL FOR COLLEGE BASE BALL
Need for More Compact Organisation
Than Mow Exists.
NEW YORK. June 29. With the college
base ball season at an end, the need of
some kind of Intercollegiate association to
govern this form of sport la atrongly
emphasised. This year, above all others,
haa proved that to determine the college
championship there ahould be an organi
zation composed of the big colleges. In
all of the minor sports, Including basket
ball, hockey, gymnastics, fencing, swim
ming, track and field athletics and lacrosse,
the colleges have organized, and th respec
tive championships are decided beyond a
doubt; but In college base ball this 1 not
th case. A couple of year ago Captain
Tilt, a Columbia pitcher, made a start In
the right direction, but his efforts cam
to naught, for there seemed little inter
est ln his plan to form a league of col
lege base ball teams. Now we find Prince

The next morning you will arise with a clear head,

of July celebration.
Brewed end Dottled by

The Beer of Absolute Purity
plain to many. Princeton has a Just claim
to first honors In the so-called "Big Four."
But there are team that have played
better ball than the member of th "Big
Four," and they are Cornell and Brown.
Without any college base ball organization,
th follower of the sport must revert to
comparative score, whatever may be said
against them. Here we find that Cornell
ranks better than Princeton, aa doe also
lirown. Cornell and Brown are ao nearly
on a par that the only satisfactory way
to determtne which 1 the better would
be to play a series. Deshon and Tift
are both grand pitchers. There I little
to choose between the two team In field
ing, but It 1 believed that Cornell I a
little stronger In th batting department.
Cornell has met few defeats, and most
of these game have required extra Innings
to decide them. Unfortunately, the usual
two game with Princeton were not
scheduled this year. Had they been,
Cornell, It Is believed, would be able to
claim the championship without any doubt.
Aa It la, Cornell, Brown and Prlncton
must be ranked In that order, with the
difference aeparatlng the first two In
finitely small In fact, too small for com
plete satisfaction. Cornell has forged to
the front rank In athletes with remark
able big at rides In th last few years. The
Ithacana are almost supreme on the water,
th track and field teams wan tli Inter
collegiate championship In 1906 and . 190)1,
and now Corfncll has JuHt claim to rank
with any college In th country. The "Big
Four" la a thing of the past. It I to
be hoped that before the season of 190b
draw around a college baae ball league
