PRESIDENT . ROURKE S pln to
hav three Indies' day Instead ot

a popular Innoratloa thlt season.
It may also moan a financial ad
vantage to Mr. Rourke, which would be
only fair play, of course Strenuous ef
forts nave been made thla winter by the
Omaha magnate to assemble a winning
team for Omaha. The roater la about
complete, Xiehoff being, the laat of the
rood ones, except Keeley, to alcn and
ivseiey may oorae aerobe In ample time.
The team I to meet Pa at JopUn the
middle of thla week and May there until
. April T w 1 then work iti way nrth,
reaching Omaha April It April 1, .It
opens the etason at home. gome of the
new mei on the team promiae exceed
ingly well, among theea being flour, an
outfielder, and a couple of the Infield
finds, who have frequently been men
tioned. , The big talk at first la going to
be organisation, whipping the new ma
terial into shape and making It tit in
with the older mam bar. Ke Tain fear
are being entertained a to thla, of
course, for with Manager Arbogast at the
head, aulsted by John Goading, there
ahouid certainly be no trouble, pnr
tleularly with a boneb of nun. Including
auch amart player a Tbomssoa, Kan
' and Nlehoff.
Lies Moine will not bar the services
ot Qllmore thl aesson. the fleet-tooted
Box colt Denver used but Mason. He
ha been sold to Buffalo la the Ioter
naUonal league, but Csmlskey will sand
Chotnard and Eddie Hahn to his De
Moines farm and they ought to make up
for any loss sustained In Ollawre. Hahn.
tb little right fielder who used tsvtear
up tb earth for the Highlander and
then the Bos and was an of tb wonders
' la that memorable world' championship
victory ot the fox over the Cub In IX.
has been, down south the last few sea
son, where also has Choutnard been,
and they both ought to add strength to
De Maine. Hahn Is a heady little rat
and all nerves. HI no wa broken
with one of Kd Riielbach's cannon bill
during the ISfaj clash and b refesed to
quit the game, simply clamping a pro
tection over hi probaesls and Icing
ahead, finishing tli season. Those Mod
of ball player never grow bad. We ex
pect to see great result from lebell's
lowans.
Sam Agnew will not be among those
present when tb Rourke assemble to
uncock the season at Reurks psrk April
19, nor WDl Samuel make his appear
ance at any later date. For Samuel and
your Pa hive parted company. While
wa wish him well, we fed safe in saying
that Ram going, whithersoever It be.
will break no hearts to. Omaha. Sam
baa spent the winter la California and
ha a dicker on to sell himself to Ver
non la the Pacific Coast league, which,
let oa mention la passing, has been
elevated to a higher classification. Pa
offered U sell Bam to Ban outright, but
some hitch arose on Bam' part and
now the matter I pending for ajudlca
tloa before the National Commission.
And at that. Sam la becoming more
, famous far than many thought he ever
would.
I IOWA'S WRESTLERS HOPEFUL
Coming to Kebruk in Search of
Lost Championibip.
BIST Of THE HAWKEY! SCHOOL
O'Ceanor, the Only One aa Last
sea's Teasn Who la Cassias
, Again, WU! Be the
Heavywelaht.
The Iowa wrestling team, which meet
Nebraska at Lincoln, has been practically
chessn. O'Connor, In tbe llght-r.eevy weight
Gran. In tbe welterweight; Ballard. In
ths lightweight and Gllllland In the mid
dleweight class are the men who wtll
In all probability make the trip tor Iowa.
O'Connor Is the only man who wa on
the Iowa team which lost to Nebraska
last year. He wa thrown then by Elliott,
the Nebraska heavy, who outweighed
him over twenty pounds. Thl year the
classes ar divided closer, and be will
have a man near his own site to meet.
O'Connor I a high-etas wrestler In his
elss, and as he bat bad several years
experience be wtll make the best col
lege grsppler at bat weight bustle to win
from him. H baa bean university ebam
pica for two years. He won kle match
from Vincent of Ames with ease In the
recent tourney.
OUIIlaad. tbe Iowa middleweight cham
pion. I less experienced than th other
wrestler en the team, but managed to
win from Weyraueh, th Ames foot ball
star. In their recent match. He lights
desperately, and often saves himself
when spparently In a hopeless situation.
What he can do with Miller, the former
Hawkeys, who represented Nebraska last
year, remain to be seen, but If Miller
1 still In th game, the Iowa boy will
probably be outclassed. .
Orsn. who will probably eater the wel
terweight class for Iowa, la a wonder at
hi weight but belong In the light
weight division. In thl class hs won
easily In the tourney with Ames, but wlU
probably be asked t go against th Ns-
braaka welterweight as he Is better than
the Iowa welterweight champion and
Ballard la about a good In the light
weight division. He may be relied upon
to put up a desperate battle In any event
Ballard, the probable entry In the
lightweight division, U very fast and
clever, and has had considerable experi
ence, having won the tlU la hi divi
sion at th university for th last two
years. s
Director Bohroedee ha coached th
team for th laat four years. Although
the Comhusksr at present hold the
wrestling championship ot tlx west.
Schroeder feel considerable confidence In
th ability of his men to car for them
selves in the coming tourney, especially
since their match with Am, when they
won every match la straight fall.

given a fair chance last year nor tbe
year before fey Cbieagei be waa almpry

aft occasions. Now, It Is understood that
r Brown' new terms spsslflealiy stipulate
'that be shall not be thus used again.
Under those circumstances, the big fel
low mar expected to regain hie piece
as one of tbe two best pitcher la the
National laagwe and he will, nndoubtedly,
be worth more to the Cubs, at that .
