THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 11. 1910. a V I'VvA X www V" The Omaiia Sunday Ber. OMAHA. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1010. JUDGMENTS OoMjAHA will finish, as It begun the season, uiy from hotne; that IB, -til major portion at Its remaining games are on foreign grounds. True, aur last (our fimei are In Omaha. 1 This Is unfortunate for tbe team, as It is not at good a road team as soma others. It has been particularly off In that line this year and If It bad the opportunity of a lung run of games at home at the wlndup it prob ably would land In the. first division, for tt has struck a gait that requires the beat of the txst to check. If I'a Rourke could have got the reeults out of tbe team at the opening of the season that he la getting how, things would be different In the league todty. But to say that If he could have had as good a team at the opening as now la net putting the situation right. He did, to alt a rr ranees, have as good. It not better team, but a run of accidents aet in which no human mind could divine or avoid and player after player went down until the team went all to piece. Now It is goiag weli, but the moat wa can hope for Is a gooi foundation start for next sea son, and even In that hope there is some alloy, for we have lost lUggert and Corri don. who orobabiy will not coma back, and tury are pillars in the team. Rlggert, un doubtedly. Is tbe greatest fin Omaha, has msde In late years and of the two men we shall expect surer results In fast company of Rlggert lhaa of Corridon, even though the latter has had more experience. - In our Judgment Corridon needa a little more sea soning to fit him for major league work. True, he U fast, euergetio and coming, but ho stll is a little erratio lacks balance and he can get that out here better than in faster company. But Sohoonover, an other new man, looks very good, as does Kneavea, tbi new shortstop, and so with these and several old stars the Rourkre w 111 have a nucleus about which Uaay should build a good machine for 1DUL The drai: and call-back privileges have about exhausted the Southern league of tu stars. These rights have been exercised with more complete sweep this year than ever and nearly every one of the class A leagues has felt Its pressure. All the majors have called In and drafted all the likely men they could, which may mean a com pensatory measure for the minors, for If the majority of these youngsters make good many old timers aili have to give way and thta will furnish a 'supply for the minors to draw on. One of the great problems of base ball Is to maintain a proper balance between the rights of majors and minors in this particular. The' majors ought to be Allowed to, draw vq lha .best material there Is ja the minors in order to keep their standard up and yet ye minors bave some rights in this ruckrd tiiat should be ' re-t speote-1. The have demands to meet among their patrons Just as do the majers and the latte.-. ' V AU lovers of base, ball will hope that Ty Cobb does not lose the sight of one eye and thus have to quit the game. It would not tuly be a sad aflloUon to this - splendid young man, but a severe blow to the great game, on which ha sheds aucb a brilliant luster. By Its beat exponents Cobb is rated as the greatest player of the day and bar ring accidents he ought to be equal to fif teen: years yet of active service. Fleet of loot, facile at mind, be has all the qual ities, that go to make up the idne.1 player and being an outfielder, where the tension la not as sve- aa 00 some ether posi tions, he ought' to v reserve bis vigor and skill for a long period. , WESTERN LEAGUE AVERAGES Corridon Still Leads in the Number of Sacrifice Hits. RHODES LEADS THE PITCHERS lias Wea Twe-Tklrds of Ills Games Blare Jolalac the Reerke Family nia-arert mm Kla the Best Hitters. Corridon, shortstop for the St. Louis Americans, leads the Western league In sacrifice hits. Corridon left the Omaha team several days ao, but his nsme still 8 1 sods In the league averages. Schoonover of Omaha la fielding at 1,000, the only Omaha man with a perfect score, because he has made one putout without an error. Kane leads the Omaha team in fielding, not counting Schoonover, with .teL Gooding has .SMI and Welter has .87. Omaha holds third in sacrifices with S27.

Play ing short In a double-header the first day, toe took twelve cienoea In the first game , without a wcbble and eight out of nine In the second game and got a hit In the latter out Of three times up. This made him solid with random at tbe Jumpoff and It is to be hoped he can keep up tbe pace. One tblng Is certain, they will always find him doiug savs level fewbi.. The race a tbe- Nebraska (State league baa been about the prettiest In the country this year. Never has any tam had a cinch en first place and at this 'writing there Is Just . 179 percentage difference In the stand ing of the first and eighth teams, which Is remarkable. Tbe course of Columbus alone, which runs the gamut of the tables, shows what a magnificent race it has been. I1 The western league will have to undergo seme changes next year. Topeka is a fail ure. . Oklahoma City would be an improve ment on it, but what Would be better would be to tall heir to four American association cities, a d that will come when the 'In vasion does. Hasten the day. Hlppodromlng must be good In the fight business when Langford can go from de feat one night to victory the next. And, by the way, be dtdnt show us any of that stuff against Kaufmann with which he was going t put Mr. Johnson down and out. v It weuld be like Bonny Bobby Wallace W get in and play ball like a fiend now that tbe Jirowns have imported one more short top ia Red Corridon. Rhody has died so many deaths that we bave come to dis count all reports of his being ' all In.",. ' If George Perrtng could have whaled tbe ' ball as unmercifully and continuously for Cleveland as he has been doing for Colum bus he never would bave been shifted. Chance to evidently playli.g the Subs now and saving the Cube for the world's serlea Tbst's the system; let the Subs win one and the Cube the other. We expect the Nebraska State league to be btuk ready for business next year end to de even better than it did this season.

Tale's pet bulldog Is spending his time In sulky growling over the new foot ball rules. Princeton sees a chance of sending a badly whipped animal back to its New Haven kennel because of this latest effort at rule revising. Harvard and Pennsylvania are quiet They are moulding thoughts Into actual working plana. Of course It's "Beat Tale!" bp at Cambridge. The Quakers merely substitute Michigan for Tale in the slogan. Michigan means Fielding H. Tost. ' The two cannot be dissociated. It's like saying Tale without adding Coy or Camp. And through ail this gloomy haze of doubt sur rounding tbe new rules comes a ray of approval from Ann Arbor. Tost Is pleased with the work of the rules committee. He makes no' attempt to conceal the fact He sees a great season for the malse and blue eleven tbe defeat of Pennsylvania, the just claim to the western championship. The Pennsylvania coaches are thinking of Tost Just now the "hurry up" person Is figuring howmuch. electric power he can get out of a rushing stream If it is properly harnessed. Tost la now figuring how much power he can get out of a squad of athletes. Foot ball power Is his diversion. The eyes of eastern as well as western foot ball coaches will be on Fielding H. Tost The new game will be a game of strategy Tost Is a past master at this essential pha?e of gridiron tactics. Hs has earned the right to be so termed. Ask the coaches who saw their Pennsylvania team beaten by the Wolverines last year. The score was 13 to 0. Both touchdowns were made on strategic plays. Philadelphia critics called them "freakish." One was a delayed pass, the other a forward pass. Nothing very "freakish" there. It savors of the elemental. Tet the hand of Tost made these plays so veiled and effective that Tale's great defence would have been put to It Why wonder, then, that Tost Is pleased with the new rules? If he could develop such tricks out of last year's setnl-restrlcted code, what will he do In the present wide latitudes of open playT Indeed. It appears that the present code was made to order for Michigan. That the quarterback will be eliminated this autumn is the general opinion. Yost began to do away with his field general last fall. Early In the season the Michigan fullback was coached to take a direct pass from the center and skirt the ends. The play was uned effectively throughout the season. Tost subordinated the quarterback a year ago. They call him the "hurry up" man. An other point for Ann Arbor. Tost has al ways craved for speed In his elevens. He was never satisfied. He always insisted the speed lever could move up another notch. Will not speed be the biggest asset on tbe gridiron this fall? The passing of beef and strength will handicap every eleven In the country but Tost'a. With the adoption of "new foot ball" in 1906, be foresaw Its possibilities and prepared to meet . its development. Tost insisted on speed and opened up Michigan's game. , In 1907 Michigan uncovered a surprising trick play against Pennsylvania.

MIDLAND MASON Freeland Bros. & Ashley 1115-1117 Farnam St. FEAR OF A THIRD LEAGUE Iteaaon Assigned for Tnrnlns; Dona Proposition of Tex Rlrkard. It Is now said that the National Commis sion's motive In disapproving the proposed series of games between two major league all-star teams under the management for the pecuniary profit of one Tex Rickard Is based on the fear that this may lead to the organisation of a third major league. It must be conceded that the way is rather round-about, and yet perhaps this fear is Justified. But does the commission Imagine it can head off such a movement in time? It ia sure to come and while It may be de ferred or delayed. It cannot be eventually prevented. The country Is large enough for tt and there does not seem to be any final reason for not having It Why should cities of a half million or a little less, close enough together to form a good circuit, that have been paying factors In big leagues before, without major league base ball, because certain other base ball magnates want tliem Is not a sufficient reason.

MEUTIATISr, PUHIFYC.'G THE BLOOD THE ONLY PERHMIiT CQ3E No ayise of Rheumatism was ever cured except by a thorough purifica tion of the blood ; just as long as the blood remains charged with ferment ing uric acid poison, the painful dis ease will continue. The pains and aches of Rheumatism are simply su perficial effects of the impurities in the circulation, and sometimes may be temporarily relieved by the appli cation of plasters, liniments, hot cloths, etc. But the person who trifles with this dangerous disease by de pending on local treatment alone, is certain to pay for the mistake with constant suffering later on. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism in the only way it is possible to cure the disease. It goes down into the blood, and re moves the uric acid from the circula tion, so that the nerves, bones, mus cles and joints are lubricated and fed witu nourish ing elements instead of being continually ir ritated and in flamed with the sharp, uratic impurity. When S. S. S. has cleansed and nwn'fierl tin. blood, the pains and aches cease, all inflammation disappears, stiffened muscles are made pliant, and every troublesome symptom of Rheumatism is permanently corrected.
