DAVE HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Atka the Score.
NEW8 AflD KXAR-KEWS OF GAME
Het Talk rld Hays Arsss4 tfce
tfcve Dona at Ta's Smoke
Iloase by the ld-
TIWfM.
I
A thing happened down at Pa Rourke's
Smoke House Suturday evening that made
many fans fear for a lew minutes they
would have to look to new hands for their
red lemonade nest summer.
A man entered the store, walked back
Into the rear room where the bulletin board
hangs and riveted his eyes on the big black
wall that during tha season reflects the
daya results from aJl the base ball world.
He gated for a minute or two the distance
of the room, then rushed tip aa close to the
board as he could . get, pullefi out his
"specks" and. put them on. He looked some
more. Disgusted, he jerked orf his glasses
and walked with Impatient step back Into
the front part of the store wher Brother
Dave was selling the stogies.
"Say, what's the score T I can't see
"My Ood. what's happened?" shouted
Dick Oi-otte, and Garvin ran for a bucket
of water.
Brother Dave had- fallen in a faint
through ths glass show case. '
They laid him out and began wtrrklng
over him. Directly Pa Rourke came rushing
In from the street. ''
Brother Dave began to come to and his
first words wire:
'Boak e'm Jimmy, you can make an
other home run with the basee full."
Here's what Clark Griffith, the Reds
new manager, will have to decide:
Whether Hoblltsell or Aaitrey shall play
first base.
Whether Miller Hugging or Dick Egan
slmll patrol section two. ', '''
Whether Hulswltt, Lobert of Smith shall
draw salary as shortstop. .
Whelhor Lobert shall go back to third
base or Mike Mowrey cover that precinct.
Wlrether Dody Paskert, "Bunter" Bescher
or Rube Ellis shall cavort around in the
left glrden.
Whether Johnny Kane, Dody Paskert
Dickey Bayles or Rube Ellis shall perform
in the middle division" of the outfield.
How many and whom of the-following
pitchers shall continue to -draw, (alary dur
ing the season? Spade, Ewlng, Dubuc,
Campbell, Rowan, Savldge, Robinson,
Wicker. O'Toole, Furchnor, Oasper and
Ragan.
The only "cinch" Jobs on ths team are
those held down by Mike Mitchell as right
fielder and McLean and Pearce as catchera
Which will not be conducive to giving
the new leader peaceful slumbers during
the early portion of the belligerency of
1909. Register and Leader. ,
Denver seems to hava secured a short
stop and two second basemen from the
Texas league, a catcher from Buffalo, one
man. from Springfield and another from
Haverhill, Masa. Jack Ryan Is the But
falo catcher. One of the Denver papers
says Connie Mack Is making; a hard fight
to get the Haverhill man. McInnls. If that's
true then Burke is out of it, for any day
that Connie Mack goes after a man whom
nobody but a minor league team wants It's

Rut tha point la Denver appears to he
carrying out Its avowed determination of
landing a new team. This Is the beat evi
dence that Denver really and truly- has
been relieved of the Tebeau Incubus. And
the -fans all over the circuit will wish
Burke well in his tssk of building tip a
winning foam.
Ry the way, that thing of building up a
winning team has come to be the business
of the hour In this old league.' With every
team and there are eight of them now
building up winners, can't you see things
slsxle next year? Bully boy!
Speaking of Denver, they haven't yet got
used to pronouncing the new half owner's
name; they are still earing "Burke" right
along.
Buck Thiel. former left fielder for Des
Moines and Omaha, may not have to pro
long his controversy with Savannah aa to
the terms of his managing the team next
year, as It Is feared the bullet holes the
St Joseph street car conductor put In him
a couple of weeks ago msy not be suffi
ciently healed to enable him to start in
the season wtlh the team. That conductor
who shot Buck twice for disputing over a
fare. Is quoted as having said that he
didn't believe In the rowdy game and would
not have any of it so long as he was
working the Indicator. It was a close call
from death for Buck.
Johnny Gondlng Is a philosopher. He
believes that winter diet has muoh to do
with a ball player's condltlcn in summer
time.
"Eat all the Ice cream and onions you
can while the weather Is cold," Is the Old
Reliable's advice to youngsters. "I have
pursued that rule for years and can cheer
fully say that I have always found it safe.
That's no mid-season Duffy-Rye Joke,
either."
Frank Bowerman, now manager of the
Boston Nationals, . wants Herxog, New
York's classy second baseman, and has
offered Mussgy his pick of the Doves for
him. If McGraw should accept the deal
that might pave tha way for Brooklyn to
secure Dfihleh aa manager. Why doesn't
somebody try to get Mcrkel?
And Just to. think, life won't begin anew
until April 28. As If April 15 wasn't bad
enough! Will woes ever end?
Bt'R.fS AND JOH.SO TO FIGHT
Battle for. Ilea? weight Championship
Takes Place Saturday.
SYDNEY; N. S. W., Deo. tl.-Towrmy
Burns, French-Canadian heavyweight pugi
list, and Jack Johnson, American colored
pugilist, who are to fight here on Saturday
next for the heavyweight championship of
the world, are both in the pink of condi
tion. Hard work has made them fit for
a long and hard battle, and although the
odds favor Burns, probably because of hla
recent aignal victories, Johnson has many
supporters.
Burns Is quartered at Darling Point and
has placed himself In the hands of hla
skillful trainer, O'Keefe, with O'Donnell,
the Australian middleweight champion, aa
sparring partner. Johnson Is at Manley,
a seaside suburb. Jack Mulllns is his
trainer and Bill Lang, whom Burns
trimmed so handily In Melbourne last Sep
tember, has been doing his best for the
last few weeks to give Johnson points on
Burrs' style of fighting. Several other
pugilists have been assisting Lang In this
tssk and Johnson has been nutting In tho
hardest kind of work with the gloves and
on the road prellmlrary to What he con
siders the most Important battle of his life.
Both have been giving training exhibi
tions twloa a week at the stadium and
thousands of persons, Including many wo
men, have watched them at their 'work.
In this way they have , been enabled to
gather In a lot of money, a portion of
Which they Intend to-place on their chances.
Tho public betting favors Burns at 6 to 4
and already a Urge amount has been put
In the hands of stakeholders at these
figures. It is expected that 20,000 persons
will see the fight and 10.000 tickets have
already been sold. As yet a referee has
t ot been selected, ISut it Is ' believed that
a rood man will be found In a day or two.
Contracts for the picture rights are being
tr.ade In all parts of the world.
When the final count of the referee at
Ruchcutters Bay, Sydney, Australia, next
Saturday, proclaims Tommy Burns or Jack
Johnson the World's champion heavyweight
pugilist the adherents of the fighting game
of North America, Europe and Australia
will have finally settled for them the much
mooted question of which la the superior
man. Since James J. Jeffries retired and
Burns defiantly flung his banner to the
breeaes and announced that he would de
fend the title against all comers barring
colored men Johnson has camped on his
trail, denying the rlsrht to R urm in Arbor
the color line, and no little amount of
public opinion haa sided with the hla- black.
Despite the clamor, however, Burns per
sistently refused to grant Johnson's de
mands for a fight and went his way pick
ing up easy money purses against second
and third rate fighters. Nobody, however,
doubted Burns' ability to give Johnson a
good fight.
Bill Squires, the Australian, eama
the seas with the chamninnahln
sought a fight with Jeffries. The Callforn
1an. however, was out of the arame an
Burns took him on In San Francisco. The
fight lasted leas than one round. Burns
claimed that this battle clinched his right
to the title of heavyweight champion, but
Johnson still demurred. Burns then went to
Lxjiiuwi, wno no anocKoa out uunner Molr
In ten rounds and afterwards whipped Jem
Roche In Ireland and several other heavy
weights. '
Johnson followed Burns to Tnrinn .-
challenged him. Burns declared he would
give him a fight If a purse should be hung
up of sufficient size to assure him $()
win, lose or draw, but this was not forth
coming and Burns sailed for Australia
where he again trimmed Bill Squires after
a harder battle than the Australian had
given him in California and eight days
later also defeated Bill Lang.
Then the fight promoters of Svdney hung
up a purse of $36,000 and Burns cabled
Johnson his ultimatum. This was that of
the 835,000 Burns was to receive $30,OUO de
spite the Issue of the battle, Johnson's end
to be 85.000. Johnson accepted and immedi
ately left for Australia.
The fight will be to a finish In a 24-foot
ring in the open air. Besides the purse of
$30,000. Bums will obtain a moving picture
film valued at $1,750 and transportation for
himself and manager back to London
making In all $23,000 that he will receive
for meeting Johnson.
Johnson also gets his traveling expenses
from London to Australia and return.
ROSSE NOT HELD FOR DEATH
Coroaer's Jary Makes 3V Order for
Prosecution la Can of Wat
klas KlUJag.
Death, due to a bullet wound inflicted by
a revolver In the hands V Charles Rosse,
an Italian, was the verdict of the coroner's
Jury In the case of Henry Watklns, the
negro who was shot by the Italian last
week when the latter's furniture was re
moved from a Third ward house, where he
had squatted.
Ne recommendation was mads that Rosse
be tried for the murder of Watklns and it
la thought the caae may be dropped, aa the
police have not captured the Italian alnce
the shooting. The Idea prevails that he
left the city Immediately after the occur
rence, becoming alarmed when it was found
that he had shot the negro.
Ai.nrst it was tnoagni tne Watklns was
only slightly wounded. His death was due
to poisoning from ths wound. The body
was burled this morning In Mount Hope
cemetery.

" An experienced shopper tells us that she can
do twice as much shopping in the forenoon as in
the afternoon with one-half the fatigue. She says
there are no crowds then; that she has no diffi
culty in obtaining a seat in the street cars; that she
is waited upon more promptly at all stores; that
the clerks are more agreeable and take more pains
to show goods, because they, like herself, are not
tired at that time of day.
Knowing this to be true, we suggest to all
ladies able to do so, to try this plan and do their
shopping in the early part of the day.

and Body Will Be Taken to
Kansas City for
Barlal. -
It Is hard for the friends of Mr. Kelly
to realise that he, of all men, should have
yielded to tho Impulse' Of self-destruction.
He was always the most Jolly and good
natured of companions and of a1 hearty,
robust type. The -work at the freight depot
of the Union Paclfio never seemed to bear
Jieavily on him, , although It was plenty
to keep him busyk lie had been cashier
there for a number of years. His uncle.
W. R. Kelly, was formerly general so
licitor for the Union Paclfio.
His wife went to Kansas City for the
holidays only Saturday, morning and It
seemed that the Impulse came over him
while feeling lonely at her departure from
home.
II had never expressed a morose thought
to any cf his friends, so that the tragio
end was entirely unexpected.

Everything Ready for New Quarters
to Be Started.
FARNAM STREET IS AUTO ROW
Gar Baslth and Colt Compauv Will
Oconpr tho New Balldlna; to Bo
Erected at Twenty-Second
Street.
Plans are complete for the construction
of the hew garage on Farnam street near
Twenty-second by Gould Diets for the use
of Guy Smith, with his Franklins, and the
Colt Automobile company. No expense will
be spared to make this new garage most
complete lh every detail and it is to be
ready for occupancy by March 1. Guy
Smith will have forty-four feet,' running
from Farnam street to the alley, and the
Colt Automobile company will have twenty-two
feet.
Drummond 1s also moving onto Farnam
street and will occupy the former site ot
the Burgess Shirt company In tha Bachelor
hotel block, where he will sell White
Steamers.
' Farnam street from Eighteenth to Twenty-fourth
Is getting to be a real automobile
row; nearly all the large retail dealers of
Omaha are now located within that dis
trict Tha Powell Automobile company ha out
grown its present quarters and will soon
be located In more commodious ones fur
ther west on Farnam street near Twenty
third. - The name of the firm is changed
to the Powell Supply company.
The automobile business Is on the boom
and all the dealers are selling largely from
their supply of 1909 models, an Indication
that the coming year will be the banner
year In the automobile business. To fur
ther push this Industry the dealers will
all unite in the largest automobile show
ever given In the west.
, Dates for the Show,
The dates for the Automobile show are
fixed for the week of February 22 at tho
Auditorium, which will be taxed to handle
all the firms which deslro to show. The
special committee appointed by the dealers
consisting of Messrs. Derlght, Powell and,
Hosford, Is already receiving a large num
ber of req jests for space at the show, w hlch
is considered remarkable when It is con
sidered that tha show Is two months away.
Last year space was sold to some Lin
coln dealers, who took that opportunity to
how their machines, but this year a large i

number of outside requests are coming In
for space. Among those Inquiring are deal
ers In western Iowa towns who will take
that means of coming In touch with the
prospective buyers from westorn Iowa.
So great is the demand for space that not.
only will the boxes be removed from along
tho side of the arena, but the large s ae
will also bo removed. The stsge of the
Auditorium is so built that It mny be taki n
out, but this has never been necessary for
any event in the big building except 'for'
the horse shows. All the space to be had
will be needed for the Automobile show.
