v - x lit not atrana;c that tome crltlclama
I have been made of tha Omaha tean
I ami PreHldnt Itourka this early In
A. the fx anon, but we believe the time
nctome for aevere judgment.
In hi flrKt place the aeaaon la young and
Omaha has a good chance to lead aa the
team that now la on top. In the next place
It la very obvloua to Intelligent fane that
the men "laid down" on Billy Kox and that
since Prealdent Rourke himaelf has taken
the club in hand It la ahowlng much better
form. He himaelf in a peraonal letter to
In brother, Dave Hourke, written while at
Topcka, na Id luck had broken against the
team, but ho la convinced It la aa good a
tram aa there Is In the league, and that
conviction la entirely reasonable. Omaha
fans who feel disposed to criticize and
th?4 'a tba prerogative of any fail
sliuuld look back over the record 'of the
years since the Kourkea took hold of the
'Stru league club. They have always
elertcd an effort to maintain a good tram
and except In one or two InKtanres have
had a team fighting it out with the lead
ers for first place when not winning the
pennant. No other city on the circuit
lias a mure consistant record to Ita credit.
It la a record which entitles the Rourkcs
to the confidence and support of the fans
nd ahould protect them from unJuHt cilc-
ism. It is well also to bear in mind that
he Rourkes have maintained tnia team
here on their own resources and have
never asked the people of Omaha, or any
commercial organisation for a dollar, except
as they have solicited legitimate patron
age at Vinton street park for which they
have given value received. Thla la also
a record to which every city cannot point.
Last year and this year they have spent
money freely for players they believed
would give them a winning team; they
have exerted a most determined effort to-,
ward that end and thla should not be ig
nored, even by the fan who can think of
no.hlng to do but knock. Unless we are badly
K lived. Omaha has a good chance for the
pi -inant in 1910. There la no question of Ha
nam; it la a good one, seasoned and heady
.id, under the management of Bill Rourke,
I. a bound to make the others go and that la
all any fan can rightly ask of any team.
Suspend judgment, If you feel you must
criticise, until a Uttle later In the aeaaon.
l will show you to be a better sport and
better fan than to pronounce judgment
now. .
v.
If the Gotch-Zbyszko wrestle Is to be on
its merits dotch will wind up the Pole In
nearly aa short order aa he did Mahmout,
though Zbyszko ought to stay a little
longer, for he Is more supple and agile than
the Turk. .But at to throwing Uotch, that
la out of the question. lie hasn't any more
chance to do that than the rest of the
wrestlers, Qotch la In a class to himself.
Farmer Burna, on a hot July " day," could
give him a good tuaale and come nearer
than any other man to throwing him. The
Rollers and De Rouens and Rogers, men
of that class, are mere duba In Gotch's
hands and the only excuse for their ever
meeting him Is money, dutch, of course,
never gives away a fall, but he has al
lowed thia fellow Roller to stay an hour,
when he la not entitled to stay five minutes.
Ha Is a fourth-rater.
Tuesday the Western league season opens
In Omaha, at Vinton street park. If the
weather man behaves , himself, the park
should be filled. The team will have come
.off a long, hard journey west, on which,
to be sure. It has lost ttve majority of Its
games, but what is that to a good sport,
who knowa how to lose aa well aa win?
What Omaha, fans want to do la to go out
and give the home team such, a roualng
reception, that it will forget about those
defeats and forget how to be defeated
Remember Skipper BUI has been made cap.
tain and give him a whoop.. Mayor Dahl
Xan. other city officials and bualnesa men
and organisations have entered . Into the
plans for' making the opening day mem
orable. ' The Commercial club and Elks
are taking a big hand and the commander
ln-chief of the day la Dick Grotto. Be at
the park by S p. m.. but If you are there
by, 4 you may be able to get In.
'- Red Fiaher has been playing good ball
for the St. Louis Browns. In ona game this
'eek he got two hits and stole two, bases,
. taking every chance that came to hint.
Thia is no surprise to anyone who knowa
what Fisher la capable of doing, and if
he goes ahead and does all he la capable
of, he will get a.ateady berth. It aeema
to lie between him and George Stone, an
other former Omahan. Stone's only un
cJsmlnty la bis lama leg, though.
' Bill Schlpke la a hustler and ought to
make good as captain of the Rourkes If
ha can make the men understand that
is captain and not merely little Bill. He
rsonally popular with the other mem
the team aa well aa with the fane.
which la a big thing In hla favor. But the
Skipper haa a difficult place to fill and
should have the co-operation of all hla
teammates.
Tony Smith, the former Sioux City short
stop whom the Cubs sold to Brooklyn, la
making good with a vengeance and David
son, of last year' Lincoln team, whom the
Cuba acooped up and also sold to Brooklyn,
la going well. The National league haa
coma to the Western for some of Its best
. material In the years that are gone,
.a repreaeutatlve of Qlenn Curtias was in
Oiha last week to make arrangements
ji an aero meet here thia summer. With
ho balloons at Fort Omaha and a real air-
t...ip meet, Omaha will soon be on the
..rial map. It haa the location and all
uiher requisites and may be successful.
The governor of California haa proved
he can t atop the fight. Cinch. The Idea
of a governor being able to do anything of
that sort In hla own state.
. Colonel Roosevelt haa given no one the
f.ghl to say he will not attend the Emery'
vtlle event. Oh, of course he has not said
i. would attend.
- .he man that made the beer famous
! that made Milwaukee famous Is not in It
beside the head of the Jeffries adverts
' ! jiureau,
Kiing will not repeat the episote next
year, for he haa signed a three-year
contract, that la we don't expect him to.
The Cuba may make It. but they are
Starting off a little wobbly. Tet they have
not had Kllng nor Ruelbach at yet.
Now, It appcara that Langs will not atlck
with the White Kx. but may return to Dea
Moines. 1

of the Detroit t'lah Was

Days from a Tap by
Amos Raale.
DETROIT. MUh.. May 7. That .more
batsmen are not Injured by being hit by a
pitched ball speaks well for the skill of the
present-day pitcher. In the old days, too,
the pitcher would not Infrequently let on
go straight at the lis tier's head In order
to drive him away from the plate. Such a
proceeding Is rare nowadays. Working
the edges of the plate seems to hsve proved
more effective. Nevertheless, the fire the
hatter faces is dangeroiiM.
One of the worst cases of head hitting
was that of Hugh Jennlnifs, now manager
of the Detroit club, by Amos Rusie. Jen
nings, with Baltimore tien, was noted for
his close hugging of the plate and . his
willingness to accept a base by being hit
by the pitcher. He relied upon his quick
ness of eye to minimise the effect of the
blow. Rusle had a wide, jumping curve
ball. Jennings was willing to turn his
shoulder, accept a deflecting blow, or let
It hit his shirt front or the slack of his
knkkerbockers. He could do this with
pitchers of average curve, but Rusie'e
curve was too sharp In the break and too
fast for Mm to avoid. Jennings stood
clone and got one -full In the head. He fell
flat. For four days his life was despaired
of. but a powerful constitution pulled him
through, though he never was the same
nervy man again at the plate, and It was
months before he could play.
When He (Jot B sniped.
Jennings, by the way. Is an extremely
durable person. While at Cornell he dived
face first' against the concrete bottopi of
an empty swimming tank. The man la a
marvel of vitality and energy. He aue-
tained two shocks that would have killed
the average man. yet he is aa full of
energy today as a dynamo.
Roderick Wallace, the famous inflelder
of the Browns, had hla batting efficiency
seriously and permanently Impaired twelve
years ago when he was hit in the head by
a ball thrown Dy V nica r raser, wno was
then with the Louisville club. Wallace
was knocked flat, and It was many days
before be went to bat again. A, constitu
tion of Iron enabled him to withstand the
Phock. but he never was quite the same
hitter afterward.
Dan Hoffman, the center fielder of the
Browns, was the victim of a fearful blow
at the hand of Jesse Tannehlll, then wttn
Boston, some years afterward. Hoffman
was nt the time deemed the most promising
young player In the American league, lie
was having his first season, and a brilliant
one It was. One day he made a triple, a
double and a single against Tannehlll In
three trips to the plate. The fourth time
up Tannehlll hit him a terrific blow over
the right eye. It almost killed the trained
and muscular young athlete. Hoffman lay
as If dead and It was four days before he
recovered consciousness. Then his nerves
were rulr.ed. From 170 pounds ho declined
to 128. He could not sleep nor eat for six
months, and the following season he had
to get along as best he could t with only
one eye. Hoffman saya that It' has taken
him six years to get back hia full strength.
He has never been able to hit left-handed
pitchers since the day hp was hurt. Now,
six years later, Hoffman is at the mercy
of the average left-handed pitcher.

Johnnie Lush, the star pitcher of the
Cardinals, waa hit by Andy Coakley on the
neck and all but killed. Ills perk baa

years hia heaith was seriously Impaired.
Roger Bresnahan was hit and severely
hurt by Jack Taylor in 1904. For a long
time after I this Injury Bresnahan wore a
semi-mask that protected the exposed side
of his head against the pitcher.
Hundreds of lesser lights have been hit

Every one should take a tonic in the Spring ; our systems require
ft The change in the seasons producesa like change in our bodies,
and more is required of the blood, from which source we receive physical
nourishment and strength, at this particular time than at any other.
Almost every one feels bad in the Spring. Some have no particular
sickness, but are debilitated, run-down and weak, and their systems
races, glvea a relative comparison of the
New London winner with hut at Pough
keepsie, although it Is not entlrly definite,
as the various crews, of course, either Im
prove or go back somewhat before the date
of the big races.
But it is fur the club crewa to supply
us with regattas that last from the begin
ning of the season to the end, and that are
scattered throughout the country, as can
be seen at a glancs at the following sched
ule, all under the supervision of the Na
tional Association of Aniatour Oarsmen.
And such a one never happened anywhere
before.
Regattas of National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen for 1910:
NEW YORK, May r-Thla I to be the
most phenomenal rowing aeaaon ever
known in America. The regattas have all
been decided on, and the most enthusiastic
follower cannot Hip getting the finest. ar
ray of sport; and they are to be so wide
spread that one nlll have to travel only
a short distance from any point to be on
the spot to see the finishes.
Of course the evnt par excellence Is the
Poughkecpsie lntervarsity regatta, where
Columbia, Cornell. Syracuse. Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin and Georgetown come together
on the plcturtsquo Hudson course, perhaps!
the best and most beautiful In the world.
It is nut an exaggeration to say that the
winner of the big event In the Pough-
keepsie regatta could outrow any crew
afloat on clthtr side of the ocean every
two years out of three.
Also the latter part of June we will have
the Yale-Harvard races at New London,
which are almost clways most interesting,

limlnary race, which, with the Annapolis tU- nnrc nre nnf so nnrn as in warm .seasons.
These Winter accumulations pollute the blood and largely destroy
its nutritive qualities, and when Spring comes, and everything takes
on new life, and we change our method of living, the circulation is so
weakened that it is unable to supply the increased demands of the
system. Then we suffer from weakness, nervousness, loss of appetite,
lassitude, etc. There is a constant worn-out feeling, sleep is not refresh
ing, and we do not feel able to perform the ordinary duties of daily
life. This disordered condition demands the use of a tonic, and it should
be one which has the additional qualities of a first class blood purifier,
for to restore health and strength the blood must be pure.
The healthful botanical ingredients of which S. S. S. is composed, and
the method of combining and preparing them so that they build up and
strengthen every portion of the body, make it the best of all Spring tonics.
S. S. S, is Nature's medicine, free from strong mineral mixtures and
made entirely of the healing, cleansing juices and extracts of roots, herbs
and barks; a safe and pleasant tonic for persons of. any age.
S. S. S. is not only the best
Spring topic but its ability and
worth as a genuine blood purifier is
universally recognized. It builds
up the depleted system in the true
way, by purifying the blood and
supplying an increased amount of
nourishment fto every portion of
the body. S. S. S. removes all
accumulations from the circulation,
enriches and purifies the blood and
overcomes the unpleasant physical
ailments that always come with
Spring. It rids the body of that
tired reeling, improves the appetite,
reinvigorates every fibre and tissue
of the body, and imparts healthful
energy to all who are run-down.
The body cannot be strong and well
if the blood is weak or impure, and
no tonic should be used which does not thoroughly cleanse the circulation.
If you select S. S. S. as your tonic this Spring you will experience better
results and more vigorous health than ever before, because it will make
your blood "just right." Insist on getting S.S.S., there is no other

' PRETTT GOOD EVIDENCE.
I have tised S. S. S. and found it to
be an excellent blood purifier and
tonic My blood was weak and
impure, and as a result my system
became very much run down and de
bilitated. I lost twenty or more
pounds in weight, had no appetite and
was in bad shape. Seeing S. S. S. ad
vertised I began its use, and am well
pleased with the results after using it
tor some little while. From 139
pounds to 165 is pretty good evidence
of merit on the. part of S. & S., and as
to my appetite, it is superb. My
system and general health have been
wonderfully built up, and I do not
hesitate to give S.S. S. the credit for
