These truisms Vwly exactly to the eituatlnn In nnmha as eln1 during the short may of I mplre - h neeland In the city. No one n,uenr.on hi hunesiy; that will he almltted, but hla eminent lsnoranre and hla obtrusive trucu-li-n. o are equally In evidence, and his total 'iijfltness to preside over a same of base h.ill ia amply demonstrated. Omaha haa al ways ocen singularly fre from the pest of umpire-baiting. In no other town of Im portance, where the base ball fever runa an hlKh aa It doea In Omaha, have the visiting team and the umplra been habitu ally treated with mora of courteoua con- deration. Thin fact simply serves to heighten the offense that Kneelaiid must have given tn order to provoke the usually oiderly patrona of the same to the out break that marred the closing; name with Hloun City. All through, hla stay tn Omaha, Kneeland showed himself not only un worthy of the position In which he has been placed by reason of hla lack of Judicial flt rexs, but also by his apparent pugnacity, which was mainly directed against the Ing act of hla career of Inrompntence did not come as so much of a surprise. No excuse will be offered for the conduct of Anderson and Kin, but their effense Is palliated by the Intensity of the provoca tion. It la very hard for even trained ath. letea to withstand forever the strain et an umpire's stupidity, and the players who are fault would havo Ixsen mors than hu man had they not resented the unjust and absolutely wrong deoialnn given by Kneeland In some manner, They will be punished, for the rule must be enfnraed, but the weakness of base hall la shown la the oondltlM that provide no punish ment for the umpire, who In this saae seems the greater offender, Only ene hepe mat m nr.Malt l thla 1 1 1 1 0 I fl fl S4ld ikat la that we wilt never agrnia see Knee- dd or his like.

PohoonovcT, Omaha is Toe schedule makers thta year have put some queer crtmpe In Omaha. The team began Its first long trip abroad jresterday at St. Joe. Jt plays Uiree games there, at Linooln. Denver. Topes a and Wlohlta In the order named, which shows oonalderable jumping about. It U home for three games with Linooln beginning Mar H and tor .three with Wichita; then, although play- 1 Ing In Omaha, May 2S, It must gat right iok to Denver for a game May B and a double-hedr the KKh. June 1 and 1 It I plays Topeka In Omaha, making another i leap from Denver In the night for work I J he net day. Then It whips down to Un- 'm.l etfn'n for three games, then right baak to "7 Denver, for three more, to Tope a for I three. Vlohlta. for three and then to Omaha for twelve straight. Thus we have no long star A home until June U, and then only for. twelve games. It bihooves i Omaha, therefore, to get going good aa a road team, for unless It does It will have a very difficult time winning the pennant t after the middle of juna. Not only must I It win on the road, but Win against soms very strenuous trarelleg. which la calcu- I lated to undo ball plarera more than, ae J tual work. Tet. of aourso, some team haa ' to bear tn brunt at the sohedule, aid U might as well be a strong team aa a weak i one. Other eluba also haw some smart bouncing about to do, and we are not oonv i -ttC-w planning at getUng anything Uke the worst e the deal.. only pointing out what may be ' espcoted of the team. The two Bt. Louis teams are disappoint" lng all hopea again this rear. The Browns seem utterly te have quit and the Card.1 nals are doing little better. Yet, Bobby Wallace Is said to have aroused hla team to the fighting point U that be true. If ; a team losing as this ene is can yet mueter courage enough to fight. It Is a good sign for better results and we hope it achieves ! them. As to the Cardinals, their slump Is even more surprising; They oould easily ' have been expected to make first division, The fact Is. however, the entire National league has tightened up and there Is going to be more competition,' we imagine, this Vr than there has been for some seasona, yt, thus far the gap . between first and secona aivision is a wiae one. it is too bad to print the statement that Jack Curley or Joe Coffer or any ether professional promoter says Ootch Is afraid of llackenachmidt. Of oourse, all real wrestling fans know by now that Hack la little more than a dub, and that If he and Ootch ever come together again, It will mean that Ootch has been guaranteed the price he demands for going Into an eaolbiUun with this fellow, whq he so completely' allowed up three years ago. i SOU I S-f cai The perversity of a ball fan Is beyond finding out. The other day when Omaha n losing Its seoond game te bloua City some aggrieved fan yelled out "dub" at kertng, a man who for nearly two de cades stood up at the top In the major leagues and Is today playing aa good ball aa any other man In the Western. Hut this fellow who yelled "dub" probably never heard of Flckertng until that day. Nobody blames Tip O'Neill for hiring a fellow like Kneeland, for the president does hla beat to pick good man and. like any one else, la apt to err, but that doean keep us from extending him our sympathy ' Not yet have either the Cubs or Ath- letlos proved their ability to "cum back though either may In a few weeks be again on top. Their 'losing streaks have been easily accounted fur and the causes are not permanent In either case. Anderson has made good on hit repute tlun aa a good waiter, but he is not only that, for he haa ben clouting the ball consistently. Omaha bad the consolation Friday o knowing that the great Cubs made nine errors alao and werg beaten U to 1 If his team starts lu to win, I'ncle Jaw lllgglna promises to get his hair cut. That ought to luaplre victory In any team. No pitcher on earth could have won Krl 1 day s game against the obstacles that be et Kvuley. Has anybody been able yet to figure out why 1'enver ever let liartman get awa? Uaue Towne weighs haJf a ton more this aaeon than he ever did. To Ump. Kneeland: We don't care if you ever uome back. What will the Sioux do when they get O'Tuole backt ptoug City has that aggravating aspec AH. . 1 . 1 . t . 6 10 Omaha 7 . 1 . 1 . .

THREE PKELIiUNARY DATES SET Winners la These Will Then Meet at the Aaalterlara to Deride Wales, of the Sehoola Uete the High Hoeors. Weeks of hard practice aiid close applica tion In real track work will culminate May 20 In the fifth annual grade schools of Omaha track meet at the Auditorium.

Omaha Young Men's Christian association gymnasium May It's 17, 18, and on the final night the lads who have won the first three places in each event eiich night will be in line at the Auditorium. The Idea of ha ting the Individuals who win the first plLces in the preliminaries compete tn the finals Is a new one, as In former years the first three teams each e.ir btve competed for honors the final nlpht as lesmt.
