TIH FLOOD IN GOOD CONDITIO Veteran Second-Slacker Should Be Blgr Help to the Roarke Family. Tim Flood, the veteran second baseman whom President Rourke has signed from Nashville, is in good form and ha been playing grand ball. In the last ten games down south he took fifty-five out of a total of fifty-six chance at aecond base, having but one error and he batted around .260. No second baseman In th country has or can beat that record. These figures are culled from the box scores a they have appeared in the Sport ing News. If Flood can keep up that lick, Omaha is all right at second, the hardest corner of tho infield, and Flood say he knowg of no reason why he cannot. "I feel fine; never .better," Bay Timothy, "and am at peace 'with the world. I cut out my fighting some time ago and am down to business." - Flood is a high-priced man; ha always been, and he cost Pa a good sum and will draw a good salary.. Omaha would not have got htm but for the rigorous applica tion of the player-llmlt rule In the South ern league, which allows no team to hold more than fourteen, jnen. Manager Bern hard, the old Cleveland pitcher, had more than the limit an wWup against it.' He wanted to keep Jrload, but between Pa's tempting; offer n; certain other- circum stance within the team, decided to, let Tim go, which' happened to be much to Tim' liking. If any man thinks the Omaha player are discouraged, , he should visit them at the Smoke House. ' "I guess we are the first team that ever lost ten in a row," chuckled Johnny Gond lng, th Old Reliable. "Well, I once heard of a team that lost, eleven straight. Don't w-orry, we are not., W are not going to finish as low down a we are now, either." With all the tough luck that ha befallen Omaha this year, It 1 no worse than ha come to other Western league teams in time. Lincoln last- year practically gave up long before the season was over. It lost o many games and here it is this year fighting with the leaders. Des Moine was aa bad off tn 1908 and yet the next year It won the pennant. Pa Rourke . has started on his scouting tour and expect to bring back the bacon. He Is In touch with all the big league scruts, but they are having their troubles, too.

Here's a chance for you: If you know whr to get a ball player who tan de liver th good, send hi addres to "Pa" Rourke, and you will receive a cash re ward. Tola offor Is made In all seriousness; Rourk i willing to pay wH for any information that will lead him to a con tract with a real ball player. M has used all other mean of getting In tin ,wlth ome one to strengthen hi team and break It awful streak of luck. Letter and telegrams by the doxens have been aent In all direction, but nothing that offer encouragement ha been received In return. Ball player who r able bodied and fit to play ball can not b found, It seems. Louisville announced that It had re leased two player to Omaha, and the dope book said they wer both good. Inspec tion proved that Sullivan wa o crippled up as to b unable to play; he even de clined on hi own motion to report, while Morianlty, who did report, is not in con dition to play. Th big clubs have plenty ot cripple to sell, but Pa ha enough uf these on hi own staff. Tim Flood joined the team yesterday, and will soon b in th game. Persona waa released, having failed to deliver. Pa Rourke is not discouraged, although he has reason to feel disheartened. It Is the first time In hi career a a manager that he has faced such a fierce run of adversity. HI effort have alway been to give his patrons the very best of ball, and his record nt Vinton Park more than support this. Omaha ha always been up and fighting for the prise before this sea son. When he started thl year, it was with bright prospect, but trouble has camped on the trail of th Omaha team from the very outset, and ha remained there ever since. Not one In week ha a single ray of good fortune shone on the team. In Sunday' games, Lincoln came mighty near making a record for double plays, pulling off five, a feat of highest order and all agalntt Omaha. Even under the adversity of steady losing, the team 1 put ting up a good game in the field, fighting always to hold down the other fellow, but failure to hit when hit are needed most accounts for the loss of game after game. If Welch or Kane could only get his eye on th ball again, a different story would be told. ; (H ' 1 Pa 1 figuring' on doing about ten days scouting on his own hook in the hope of picking up a pluyer or two. He will start oma day this week for a swing around some of tho ball towns, and hopes that he may be able to land somebody who will be serviceable. In the meantime his offer to pay for info.matlon that will lead to a ball player holds good. ' Four Killed, Five Injured in Wreck . at Belmont, lJeb.
