WICHITA, Kan., March a -(Special. -The
Wichita Jobbers, under the manage

after some of the honors in ths base
stealing line this year. Last year the
team finished seventh In base pilfering
with a total of 17i.
Manager Hughes has begun to drill the
boys In ths art of base stealing, and with
Craig, Itlddleton, Davis, Pettlgrew and
Koerner as pupils there will be sortie re
sult Tommy Moe shows some speed,
but Nelson, the big catcher. Is the speedi

The big fellow hss a record of 10 seconds

stsnd with open mouth when hs starts
around the bases. Catcher Starke has
shown some speed and hs Is there when
It comes to outguessing ths enemy and
getting a leeway.
It looks ss If the Jobbers will again be
a bunch of swatters. 8lx of last season's
regular swatters who averaged over the
classic . will be back on the Job. Craig,
Davis, Mlddleton. Belden. Claire and
Koerner wilt be expected to keep up their
record. Starke aod Hughes will prob
ably hit around .Zih. Tommy Mee. who is

Ths Omaha Gun club and ths Trl-Clty

dated for the purpose of putting up a new
club bouss on the grounds which are
being used at the present time by both
clubs for their respective shoots. The
club house which Is being planned will
be started tn the near future.
A meeting was held last week and
the matter discussed pro and con and it
s finally decided to call a meeting of
both clubs tor some day this week. There
Is no doubt whatever but what the
proposition will be well received by the
members of both clubs for some day this
week. There is no doubt whatever but
what the proposition will bs well re
ceived by th members of both dubs, as
ths club bouse now tn use Is Inadequate
for th large number of aimrods In the
trl-dtlea.
The club bouss will be ui the style of a
bungalow, with two stories. The front
entrance to th building will face north
and the entire front of the house will
be surrounded by a large veranda and
screened In. The veranda will face out
on the range. The first floor will be
fitted up with a kitchen and a large
dining room and two lounging rooms. The
second floor will be mad up of four
rooms, lb us of which have not yet
been decided upon. One room, however,
will be used for the storing and selling of
ammunition.
An approach to the new club bouse will
be mad from the car line and a large
plot of ground around th building will
be sodded and planted with flowers. Th
bouse will occupy the dte now being
used by the Omaha Gun dub house,
which ss a one-room shack. The range
will bs unchanged.

tory of the twelve American Bowling
congress tournaments.
Seeaad Tlsse for Lealsvlll.
The winning of the two-men champion
ship by the Loutuvllle bowlers takes that
honor to the Falls city for the second
time. The first championship was won by
E. O. Kichter snd Edward Rigley In
B07 at the St Louis meet. Sullivan and
Owen made their score of LZat on March
17. and while it was regarded as a prise
winner, few thought it would stsnd sub
sequent attacks.
Phil Sutton's total In the all-events
was 1.SO. The victory was due to his
splendid work in the doubles. Al Saltan-
der of Chicago landed second prise tn
the sll-epents with a total of I.X3T.

Be at Iowa City.
CHINKS ARE REAL PLA ITERS

with th Foot Ball ached ale
ae Arranged by Manager
Kellogg.
IOWA CITY, la., March 2S.-(Speclal.)-Mansger
Kellogg has announced that In
the latter part of April the famous Chin
ese base ball team from the University
of Hawaii, which is planning a tour of
this part of the country may visit Iowa
The Chinese team Is said to be one of
the fasteat foreign aggregations that ever
came to this country, and to bs much
superior to the Japanese teams from
Wasada and Kdo which were In the
United States last spring. Ths Chinese
team hss victories over both of those
trams to Its credit.
Although four of the seven gamea are
away from home the students are well
enough pleased with the IMS foot ball
schedule, and are giving Manager Kellogg
considerable praise for his work. The
games with Wisconsin on Iowa field and
with Chicago at Chicago are considered
particularly attractive. Iowa baa been
anxious for a place on the Maroon
schedule for some years, and the locals
also hsvs their hearts set on a defeat
of Wisconsin to make up for th Badger
victory on the last meeting of tha two
teams here.
The Indians' game Is another Interest.
Ing lolnt tn the schedule, as Iowa has
never met the Hooslers in foot ball.
Kellogg has also made out th best base
ball schedule In years, and th local
student body Is well satisfied with his
endeavors In that respect.
New bleachers to accommodate the
crowds at the base ball games this
spring hsvs been planned, and work will
begin as soon as th weather will per
mit games, and will probably do tbe same
for the base ball contests, while the
number of hlsh-class on the schedule
will also swell the number. The new
bleachers will give seating capacity for
about 1.000.
