difficult to aee how the team can be kept
dow n 'much longer. As a matter of fact It

Wichita has shown. From now on. we

the day for Omaha and Rive It a winning

Indianapolis and Williams from Bt. Louis

where credit Is due and sheath the ham

a team If It breaks me." Omaha Is not
alone in Its troubles. Sioux City ha come
', ' to a pile of Its own. The exnol.Mlon and
-iJLi-"ir''fl'"l'n" of three pitchers at once shows
that Manager Towne Is In high water.
That leaves Lincoln with another advan
tage, for Lincoln, when all Is said, hits a
pitching staff which. If not the best in the
league, certainly Is next, and we belltve
as things now stand It Is the best. It is
too bad for the Antelopes that Farthlnc
failed to return, for he would have put
the finish to Its pitching supremacy. Put
at that Denver, Wichita and Cmaha arc
not to be left out of consideration. With

Three hundred hitters are as thick aa
files around a molasses barret In the West
ern league so far. No less than forty-
eight have hit above the charmed snot.
Bahe Town, manager of, the Sioux City
team, Is perched on the pedestal. Babe
has a mark of .545. but he has grabbed It
by going to bat only eleven times.
Six Omaha lads sre cavorting In the
fashionable set. Keeley tops the bunch
with a mark of .), while rick, the newly
acquired third baseman, Is next, having
poled out three safeties In eight trips to
the plate. Rhodes is there with a figure
of .357, the result of five bungles In four
teen attempts.
In eighty-four times at bag, King has hit
safety twenty-nine times for an average
of .343. and Is really in the lead of Ta's
boys. Hull is the other member to get
better than .800. One hit in three trips

solid rock and the real thinning out process
be completed this week when Ta and
earn return, Graham. Anderson, rick-
and I'atton were all sent home In ai-
vance of the others. What disposition is
to be made Is as yet uncertain. Behlpke
la on hand for Infield utility, but Ta prob
ably will want to have, for a time at least,
an extra man In ths outer garden.
Ducky Holmes, Toe White of the White
Box and Frank Isbell are all mentioned
aa having angled for the purchase of the
Moines franchise, but Uncle Jawn still
holds it. The league does not particularly
need Pucky Holmes back in It, .but It does
need men like White and Isbell, though it
! Is Uttla dlffioult to see Just how White
could get free from Comtskey. Now that
'.Wichita business msn have indicated a
3"",'Vdlipo8ltton to take the franchise there oft
V. a Isiy's hands, it Is to be hoped the Jormer
j ' Fox star may land In Pes Moines. Unless
. somebody does very soon that town will be
I lost to the circuit. No fans should be ex-
t pected to follow a team forever that plays
like the one Hlggina has. And no fans
will. Hlgglns should have taken O'NeU's

Tha Cubs have shown their old-time grit
and fighting qualities on this trip abroad.
Handlcaped by the absence of Kvers In all
the games and Tinker tn several they have
gone right on Winning, splitting even at
New Tork and Brooklyn and walking Into
rip-roaring Phillies right from the
They put an effective barrier in the
the Quakers' onward rush and
shown that they ara not quite ready
t concede the pennant to Philadelphia as
yet Minor Brown seems to have recovered
his old form and some of the new pitchers
are workinf aa well. Between the four
teams. Philadelphia, Pittsburg, New York
and Chicago, It looks like a fight to the
finish.
The week revealed another freak deci
sion by an umpire. It was made by John
stone of the National league. Frank Chance
had hurt hls lame ankle In going Into third
and Manager Tahlen of Brooklyn, the op
posing team, who was coaching at third,
voluntarlry offered to let Tom Needham
run for Chance, when Johnstone refused.
Unless Chance would thereby eliminate
himself from the game. Tet substitute run
ners are being put In every day without
eliminating the men they nin for from the
game. And still It Is lose majeste to kick
at the ump. He knows It all.

The Sloug City Tribune runs a "Today In
Base Ball History" column and In noting
what occurred . on May 14. 1904, aald the
New Tork Americans made eighteen hits
'Off "Dusty" Rhoades of Cleveland, who Is
now with Omaha." This Is Interesting, but
Dot true. Rhodea of Omaha and Duaty
Rhoades, formerly of Cleveland and now
with Kansaa Ctty are two distinct Indl
iduaJs. aa anyone looking at them could
readily observe. Omaha s Rhodea never
pitched for any major leatfus team except
the St Louis Cardinals and not regularly
(or them.
a
Jimmy Callahan stands aa another living
refutation of the old argument that an
athlete never "cornea back." It la doubt
ful If he over played a better game than
he Is playing today .after six years out of
big company. He Is one of the men who
are helping to put the Box back in the raoe
and. with all their big lead, tha Tigers are
not nulte sure of the fla with the Box
gclng aa they have been. That Comtskey
spirit Is a great one at the finish, you
know.
Admirers of Jack Pfelster, of aurse, re
gret that the old southpaw could not have
staid longer In the majora, but they etui
admire him and hope he may yet land
back there. But Since the big fellow got
his pitching wrist broksn last year he has
lost his cunning.. He acted like a man,
however, when sent to Louisville. A lot
of thesa ex -majors may yet find them
selves in major company. If the American
Invasion occurs nest year.
Soma "loyal" fans have been criticising
Rourke because he failed to retain Melter
and let Sioux City get him. Bloux City
has now turned him loose. It Is easier to
run a ball team when you do not have
to run It that It la- when you do.
Have you observed that the man Knee
land umplreth no more In the Western
league? 3oo4 riddance of bad rubbish.
You can trust President O'Neill to do the
square thing.
Oeorge fttone could not withstand the rail
of the wild. He has finally relented and
will don a Milwaukee uniform tomorrow.
And that la Just what Oeorge should have
done.

Track Team Added
to Creighton's Big
List of Athletics
President Magevney Gives His Sanc
tion to the College Having
a Team.
Creighton. university is now preparing
for a track meet. For the first time In
the history of the school, Creighton Is
going to break upon the cinder path. It
has always possessed a number of fast
athletes and the Introduction of a track
has always been a long-felt need.
In the course of a few nights every
student seems to have fallen In with the
Idea and manifest an Interest that prom
ises results. This year the meet will be
confined to the university alone and win
be mad an Interclass affair.
There has always been a misunderstand
ing that ths authorities stood as obstacles
la the way of track sports. A committee,
In the persons of Messrs. Bernard Smyth,
Carl Russum, Julius Festner, Charles
Hamilton and Will Flaherty, recently
called upon the president. Rev. Father
Mageveney. He assured the boys that the
authorities ware In enthusiastlo accord
with all athletics, provided they are re
stricted to their proper sphere. He disap
proved of a publlo display In the scanty
attire of track, but Creighton haa ample
room to avoid this In tha possession of a
large campus, and with ths enthusiastlo
sanction accorded the students, they are
now making preparations for tha meet.
The executive board has various commit
tees out now working hard and the com
mittee on prises Is making things inter
esting. Walter O. Clark's Sporting Goods
company haa offered a first-class pair of
running shoe for the fastest sprinter In
the university.
Through the kindness of Mr. Redmond,
Brandels Co have donated a valuable
eup aa a trophy for the Individual point
winner. Theee Incentives are bringing out
Creighton's best.
Bernard Smyth la out for the sprints.
Cyril MoCarthy of Falls City showed
surprising form In the high Jump.
Hronek and Kelly of the senior cla
are known aa ten second men, and have
entered In the sprints.
Pineen. a Chicago boy, has entered th
mile run and has clipped the distance
to some under five minutes.
The season is somewhat late, but Creigh
ton haa entered into the spirit of this
meet that will prove the development of
a crack team and Intercollegiate meets on
the cinder path for the Omaha sporting
publlo.
Llaeola HeJeaees Smith.
IJNCOLN. Neb., May Pitcher Harry
Smith was released to Fremont In the
State league by the Lincoln Western
League club today. He defeated the Do
trolt second team to 1 In the pre-seasoa
same.
All the leaguers have drifted out of the
local base bsll world and now tha fsns
can more readily see what tang looks the
most promising, because the teams In gen
eral now consist of amateur material. Of
course rt la too early In the season to
spring a verdict, but you can at least pick
your favorites.
There will be two food games on ths
card at Diets park this afternoon, the
first gsme of which will bs between the
Stori Triumphs and the Americans. For
several years these two squads have been
battling for supremacy and it always haa
been a difficult question to predict the
winner. This season the Americans are
aware of the fact that if they could cop
today's quarrel they would stand ace high
In the championship race and to that end
they are going to work all their base ball
power today.' The Ston Triumphs realise
they are up against a stiff proposition;
nevertheless they say ths Americana will
lose some starch and also a ball game
before this day Is history. Probst will heave
for the Stors. Adams will work for ths
Amsrlcans. Tha second game will be be
tween the Columblas and the H. E. Long
team.
Yesterday afternoon the management at
Rourks park Informed Qulgley of the Stors
Triumphs that on account of tha condi
tion of the new grass field, the double-
header for today at Rourke park had to
be called off, therefore tS'e quick Jump to
Diets park for the Stors-American game.
The other two teams booked for Rourke
park, vis.: Advos and Baum Iron com
pany, were looking for a grounds last
night.

Midlands Want Games.
All Saturday teams that think they can
handle the Midland Glass and Paint aggre
gation send bids to Mr. Potter, care of
said firm, and he will see to It that your
team's label Is enrolled on their schedule.
Mr. Potter Is especially anxious to hear
from the following congregations: M. E.
Smith, Byrne & Hammer, Omaha Printing
company and Carpenter Paper company.
It hardly seems possible, but nevertheless
it Is a fact that there are more Saturday
teama than 8unday squads. Every Satur
day all the Sunday pastures are utilised
and ether fields used only on Saturdays
are worked on. .
Big doings out at the Benson ball park
this afternoon. The first scrimmage will
be between the Benson birds and tha Hans
com parks. This affair ought to be a ringer,
as both gangs have been missing tha lose
hangout Therefore' a bloody affair for the
high mark is looked for. After tha first
mesa a second doss will ba administered to
the fans by the J. S. Cross and Council
Bluffs Americans. The gasaboa from
across ths river are seriously contemplat
ing about boxing today's mix, but the
Cross outfit say they would have to be
cross-eyed to see things like the bluffers.
First gams called promptly at 2 p. m.
Strong will wiggle the Indicator.
Real Featare Play.
A feature play worthy going mllea to
see was Jerked off at Benson last Sunday
at a erltical stage of ths Eagle-Hoffman
collision. There was a geezer on bag three
and another bloke on pillow one. When
Pitcher Doran delivered the pill the gent
on cushion one started for sack two. Mr.
Batter slammed ths cherry on the snoot
right at Doran, who glued his lunch hooks
to said animal and whanged It to pouch
three, then Saup hurled the cherry to
Krebbs on the first corner, the spheroid
reaching the initial stop before the gink
on the road to second could scramble back,
thereby completing the most phenomenal
triple play pulled off around this section
of the country for many moons.
Shamrocks Open Park.
Everything Is green In the base ball
world at South Omaha today. What for?
Why, didn't you know that the STiamrocks
are going to open their new ball park lo
cated on Fortieth and Q streets, South
Omaha, this afternoon. Local colored ball
heavers, known as the Omaha Giants, will
oppose the three-leaf warriors and a
heated argument for the winning party is
anticipated. Boas Kennedy of the Krln
tribe always haa a package of confidence
on hand, which he feeds to his colts when
matters look chilly, although his fighting
spirit alone Is enough to make the reat
hustle without feeding them any nourish
ment.
This will be the Omaha Giants' first duel
of the season, but according to tha dope
they have mustered together a bunch of
diamond coverers that will make tha Sham
rocks bustle every second to turn the trick.
The Royal Achates will mosey down to
Seventeenth and Fort streets this afternoon
and tl up with tha Buck Antlers. A fast,
clean game la expected. The Insurance
moaks are going some thla term. Already
they have atepped on the corns of some
of the crews that used to give them a
chill. Moran, their sturdy box man, Is
working nights and the way he throws tha
round baby you would thing he had been
throwing at a keyhole. He puts Mr. Ball
most any place he wants to.
Morearty a Star.
Whenever there Is any real fame to be
gathered In Omaha base balldom, put It
dowa la your knowledge box that Hllard
Morearty will be oa the Job with bis dress
suit and his brain covered a la college
style. Four calendars ago Morearty ac
cumulated a wagonload of fame when he
twirled a twenty-four Inning t to I game
at McClelland, U. The knotted affair was
called oa account of darkness. Of course.
Morearty got It Into his nut that the
fans hereabouts had forgot about the
Iowa fracas, so he Jumped Into tha Sham-
rock-Townsend bout In the four column
last Bun day and emerged vlctorloua In the
fourteenth round. He twirled a great game
and his splendid work was and will con
tinue to be a topic for players as well as
the fans. If Morearty knocks out many
more fame stjunta we will have to fix It
with some monument establishment so hs
will be remembered. It might be a good
Idea to attach bis sign on to cur school
houses.
Battle at Fort Omaha,
Base ball, base ball, nothing but base
ball at "Fort Omaha today. Promptly at
1:30 p. m. the Hoffman Bros., who hall
from Bmeilvllle, will endeavor to "trample
over cncie earn s warriors stationed at
Fort Omaha. The soldiers have played
several games already this season, but
today's struggle will be their first Sunday
engagement and they are going after the
sweet bread from the first sound of the
whistle. Oumees, the atrike-out wonder
from Bouthtown, will deliver for the
HuXXmana. At 3.30 p. m., the Town ends
troubles. These two tesms are alwa)S
holding talkfests shout what they can
do, so today's fiay ought to close the pipes
of some band. Young or Chamberlain will
hoist the rotund for the sugar aggre
gation, while Morearty. Lowell or Cross
will do ths firing for the gunners.
You couldn't sk for better patronage
than what the Council Bluffs Merchants
get every Bundsy st their lovely park,
located on Thirty-fifth street and Broad
way. This year the management Is doing
things to suit the fsns In general, and
their plana seem to meet the approval of
all concerned. Two grand games are on
the list today. First match. Council Bluffs
Imperials against Burlington Red Bocks;
second combat. Council Bluffs Merchants
against Hollys.
Hicksy will fling ths sphere for the
Hollys snd Bruggeman will probably toss
ths fruit for the Council Bluffs Merchants.
About May 17, the Omaha Giants will
leave our fair city. They will play all the
leading tribes in Nebraska, Iowa. Minne
sota, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Soms tims this week, those two colored
teama ought to climb on each other and
see which is the superior.
Now ths Long A Voase combination
parades around as the R. E. Long team.

Another feature of the Shamrock open
ing, although not a base ball stunt, Is ths
pickle bend under the personel direction
of J. H. Mevers. These musical lads wtll
bs all togged out In the latest comedy
fashion snd It will essily be worth the
price and some on the side tn see thla

Diets Park Games.
On ths turf at Diets park about three
and a half bells this afternoon, the R. K.
Long geezers will try to spoil ths Colum
bia s rep. The southerners will have their
grabbers full and then some if they slip
anything by on the Hall Columbia ginks.
Fitzgerald win use bis trusty swinger for
the Columbia's. Manager Stacey of the
Long crowd has not decided which one of
his klnketers will toss them, but he states
with firmness that his blokes will hustle
away with the long end of the score.
Teams wishing to utilize the Diets grounds
on Sundays call Andy Anderson over Web
ster 3750, after S:30 p. m.
Mr. Griffith, the Hoffman manager, an
nounces the following lineup for the sea
son. He had about thirty candidates trying
for berths. The lucky ones are Lismond,
catcher; Gurness, pitcher; Ryan, first;
Bowley, second; M. Collins, short; W. Col
lins, third; Welmer, Don and Griffith,
fielders. Tbelr leader Is still on tha hunt for
combats and would like very much to
buckle up a couple of out-of-town wran
gles. Address B. W. Griffith. 4015 P street,
South Omaha, or telephone South 1740. The
Hoffman tribe look like the real article
on paper, and before long they will demon
strata their ability to the satisfaction of
all concerned.
The Shamrocks first battle with an
Omaha crew happened last Sunday, when
they met the Townsends. Before that data
they had several encounters, all of which
were with out-of-town squads. This after
noon at Shamrock park, the Shamrocks
wtll play a double-header, the first gams
of which will be between the Spalding
and the Shamrocks. This meeting ought
to be a hair raiser as the Shamrocks are
doing fine and the Spalding will have
their winning toggery on the Job.
Although chronicled In this section of
last Sunday's papsr that tha Hoctors
would play at Herman, Neb., the deal fell
through. On account of climatic conditions,
Leonard Marsh, the Hoctor magnate, de
cided to find out whether or not the
Herman manager wanted them to come.
He finally made connections with Herman
about 10 minutes after the Iron man had
rolled out, therefore, only one slim chance
remained, that being to get a freight out
of Florence. The gang heeled It to Water
vllle and found the nothing doing card
to peep at. Things looked pretty blue for
the Hoctors and such an elegant day, too.
But their clever manager pulled them out
of the hole by getting his thought depart
ment on deck. He Immediately got into
communication with Hughes, the mogul
of the Nebraska Telephone company's
team, and arranged a game. The Hoctors
will akidno for Paptlllon today and do
their worst to snag the cream, and next
Sunday they will march to Calhoun, Neb.

THE BEST
Spring is the season when the blood is -weakest, and our systems least
recponsive to the demands of nature. It is the time of fickle appetites, poor
digestion, lack of energy, bodily fatigue, and many other systemic disturb
ances which warn ns that we need a tonic. A great many so called tonics
are mere nerve stimulants, often producing exhilarating effects, but acting
with decided injury on the system later. If your system is weak and de
pleted you can only tone it. up by supplying an increased amount of nour
ishment, and this can tome only through pure, rich blood. S. S. S. is the
greatest of all blood purifiers ; and it is the one medicine you can rely upon
; to supply the aystem with the best tonic effects and at the same time thor-'
Voughly purify tie blood. Many people have put off using a tonic until the
system became so weakened it could not resist disease, and have paid fog the
neglect with a spell of debilitating sickness. S. S. S. is nature's ideal tonic;
made entirely of healthful roots, herbs and barks. It tones up the stomach
and digestion, aids and improves the appetite, and in every way contribute
to strong, robust health, S. S. S. is for sale at drug stores.
