R THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE. ArniL 19. loos. Tim Omaiiai Sunday . Bnt, OMAHA. HTTrTDAY, ATOIi 19. - TIILB a closer race than for many 1 A tfuoni la expected In tha Na- VV "o"1 I lhl" re'r' tn" n II. riant 1 generally eonceda to tha , . Cub. Few expert tout will ad mit that Chicago tight to walk away with tha flag again this year, per h ape with a lit- . tla more exertion, but safely enough. And this opinion la the popular one among fan. The Cuba are even stronger tban laat year, and no other team, unless It be Philadel phia, la believed to be ahead of It class. - Of courae. New Tork devotees profesa to aea In the Oianta tha contenders, but thla conviction la not shared In extensively out side of New Tork. While it may be severe judgment to pronounce It a one-pitcher team, yet that la precisely the verdict that already has been passed by some who must be given the right of opinion. But New Tork simply la an experiment MoOraw haa traded some veterans for aome other Veterans. Tha most ha himself hoped to gain by tha trad waa harmony In his own team. That .alone ought to Improve the flaying, but will the Improvement be such as to lift the team from fourth place Into the contender's eiassT Philadelphia roust be reckoned with for second place, and maybe Ptttsburg, now that Wagner haa ( signed. In tha American league the White Box were picked as tha favorites at tha opening, but sine tha opening develop ments have suggested the wisdom ef going alow In tha matter of picking the winner. Th Sox, thla year as last and the year before, have a fighting team, but are bar ricaded by so many aggravating Ifs. If Davis haa another season in him; If the pitching staff holds out; If this and If that The Athletic ought to be atill good, so ought Detroit, but Detroit appears no stronger thsn last year, when it had to fight to the Ust ditch to win. The High landers and the St Louis Browns have friends who count on them for great thing. They probably will be stubborn warriors to tha last, particularly the Browns, with that great array of old-time stars, but they have not yet been picked as the pennant ' winner. All In all, tha National league appears tlie stronger. Omaha's Infield looks better thsn ever, even with Graham out of tha line. King is playing at shortstop Ilka a veteran, and Buck might always have played second, judging from the work h la doing. Autrey and Austin are stars, and the whole quar tette la full of pepper to the limit It Is a stone wall, and the absence of Dolan will not be felt. In fart, no place was open to the veteran among that array. And the outfield Is doing just aa well. House holder, Welch and Belden ar a great trio 'and make up a defensive aggregation that Is hard to equal and can't be beaten In the west And aa for offense just look at . the score tables. The week witnessed an event In base ball which cannot help but command the sober Interest of Omaha and Western league fans. That waa nothing more nor less than the transfer of old Joe Dolan from Omaha to Des Moines. Dolan put In many seasona of excellent work for Pa Rourke and - Pa Rourke and all his friends hope the veteran will be able to do the same for Dea Moines. In some respect, chiefly, pinch hitting and general balancing power, Dolan ., will prove a moat valuable asset to. Des Molr.es, and If he is In aa good condition as he thinks ha la, will add strength to the Inftsld. Certainly there Is cause for congratula tion In Omaha over the start the Cham pions of the Western league have made. Of course they opened the season with a team that, unless strengthened, will not be one of the leaders, but even at that Omaha haa gone far enough to demonstrate that It Is a well balanced team, playing tha Inside game, much stronger at the bat than ever and mora capable of winning the pennant this year than last- Josh Clarke's experience In base ball Is almost unique. Ten years ago he was with Louisville In a major league, then- he dropped back Into tha minora, where he remained until 1905, when ha joined the Bt Louis Cardinals. II stayed there but a abort time, going to Toledo. Now, Ilk a "fresh stripling from the brushes, he jumps hack Into fast company at Cleveland and promises all kinds of things for tha season. Of course no one thinks that Han Wag tier wa holding out tor more money," for Barney Dreyfus told him at tha outset ha could name his own figure. It only goes to show how hard.lt Is for a great ball" player to quit while yet In hi prime. Well, why should hT . Captain Chance say It doesn't go any further than tha name. He 1 taking no than. es, . but propose to win 'em all If he can: Jl still haa MordecaJ Brown and Jack FTlester to fall back on. Harry Bag haa established a base ball , headquarters on Cuming street, which he I proposes to make especially attractive for j amateur players. The old veteran of the j diamond ought to know how. ' ' Tha day that Wagner refused to sign had just on counterpart In the history of the game, that was tha day Casey struck tout But Pittsburg, Ilka UudvUle, lived to tee it star shine again. Householder Is likely to have some heavy bill sent him by team owners for boards i knocked off the fence during the summer. . He Is making his name a terror to pitchers ; and fielder already. ' Htgglna ha mad a hit at Dea Motnea aa owner, and tf hia team geta to going a little faster be will put the game back ' where It was when Brother Mike got bold of it Pa Rourke never drew a mor precious prUe than when ha got lltUe King.

Hereafter but three men will be allowed to enter each event and the number of men representing a school will be limited to six. At Madison Wisconsin and Chicago each had a team or six men; Minnesota had tavr men and Nebraska had two contestant. Tha method of scoring was changed so that tb total scores of the team In each event will be counted In determining the winning ohool. Vntll now the number of firsts won by the teams were counted.

Word was circulated arouni the university campus yesterday that two of the deposed members of the athletic board would de mand an Investigation of rumors which im plicated them in Irregularities In the us of the athletlo funds. The charge made against the men are that they made per sonal use of the athletic money in paying part of the expense of certain members of the 1907 footbaal team. Th room rent and board of Captain Weller, so the rumor said, was paid by a certain member of the athletlo board during the football season. It Is said that Weller refused to play foot ball unless his expense on the training ' table were paid, and In order to keep him on the team the men who has the financial means kindly helped the captain settle his personal expenses, it is said. Careful In quiry among members of the faculty and former members of the athletic board proved that no 'Investigation, however, of the rumored Irregularities would be made by either the men Implicated or by the university senate. , The rumors of Irregularities among the former members of the board directed com ment to the new members of the board and brought out a discussion of their ability to do good work In the Interest of Comhusker athletics. A glance at th record of the three men convinced tho skeptic that the professors were well able to serve In their new positions. Dr. H. H. WsJte, Dr. Phillip nd Dr. R. H. Wolcott ar the new members. Dr. Walte ha been connected with ath letic for many year. He wa r. student at Amherst for four year and during that time was on of the best football men In s-hool, and was a star gymnast. After graduation from Amherst he went to a southern university, where he became the head of the athletic department and gave the school a clean athletlo system. Dr. Phillips during his college course was a prominent track man at Michigan. For several years he held the Wolverine record In the one-mile run. He wa secre tary of the Michigan athletlo board for year. f Dr. It. H. Wolcott Is a graduate of Michigan, where he was one of the leading candidates for the football and track team. I .

Th post-season wrestling series between Graham Foster of Tsle, and Robert Fol well of. Pennsylvania ha been an inter esting "thing and an odd one. Folwell having met with great success In th meet before the intercollegiate championship apparently was piqued when the Tale captain threw htm In the Intercollegiate contests and asked to get satisfaction at a meet later In the year. For the second time Folwell was beaten and again It was arranged that they should meet. This Is hardly like college sport, but more Ilk personal rivalry between two wrestler. Whether It ia exactly In the line of the pur pose of Intercollegiate athletics is hard to say. To some persons It might very well appear as having a tinge of the professional about it, not the professional from th money end, because It stands to reason that there Is no purse ' and no side bet. but solely on the ground that it Is so personal a mutter between the men. It Is almost ss Harvard snd Tale, after a baseball scries of three games, should go on and play a couple more with the professed object of determining which Is the better team In a longer series. Again', Cornell and Columbia might want tode cide that very close boat race at Pough keepale more to the satisfaction of the oarsmen In the two shells, and with that In view might arrange for another race to be held on. July 4 or some such date In connection with some other regatta. It doesn't look exactly fight, although It may appeal to both men a a perfectly proper procedure. If the men are not. tak ing time away from their studies to carry out their series of bout the colleges can not well object, however. But it establishes a bad precedent and Is of very little real use. It cannot upset the result of th in tercollegiate wrestling championship, be cause Foster Is the title holder.' On that ground then It is a foolish procedure and on any other It falls short of the purpose of having meetings In athletlo sport be tween college men. j Cornell Will Not Compete. It must have come rather aa a surprise to the American Olympic committee to learn that Cornell did not Intend contrib uting to the fund for the Olympic games In London. The expectation waa that the Ithacana would give 1600. a some other universities had promised. The reason given for refusing la one to which no ex ception could well be taken. "The athletlo association would not be justified," said Judge Irvine, "In spending money for a purpose entirely foreign to the principles of the corporation. The Olympic games are not a college event and Cornell men could not compete a representatives of Cornell, but a Individuals If they should go." Cor nell did not want to appear "mean" In th matter, especially as Dartsmouth, a much smaller college, pledged $00 for th fund, but the expense of athletic management at (Cornell ar much greater. There are more team at Cornell and more of them which have small Incomes or actual deficits. Dartsmouth,- for In stance, does not support a crew, an Item of $10,000 or so m the Cornell budget Th track team at Cornell always ar run at a loss, and base ball can hardly make a great profit In other words, about all th sport exist at tha expense of the foot ball team, and Cornell' game bring In about enough to keep things running well. The track, base ball and crewcaptaln at Harvard have published an appeal to the tudent body In general that I perhaps serious in Intent, but amusing as well.
