DIME'S RECRUITS
ALL SHOWING WELL
..r iiiniii r'l'i-v March 29. Spe-
clal.l-Thcro will be no cutting down tf
the Omaha bquad until the team reaches
home the middle of April, according to
President W. A. Rourke. This positive
statement was given out today to contra
dict n report that a slice was due to or
ilvo the first of next week.
'Often one cnnnot uccount for these
stories or trace them to their sources,"
said Pa Rourke. "but while they should
be self-evident untruths, they nre more
gftcn believed thnn disbelieved. We
hardly havo had time to get started,
much less bfc In a position to tell within
another four or five days who aniong the
recruits wilfbogoodenougJosUck, or
who It would be safe to turn loose'. Thorn
Isn't a man 'on the squad that hasn't ti
chance to make good rs I see It now but
bv the time ."'wo have twelve exhibition
games under our .belts we will have a
pretty good idea, However, some may
need to te tested'In a few of the early
championship ga'rries before we know
their temper." " '
Recruits Show , Well.
In spite of thb short time the men have
been at work, It has become evident that
when the pruning time does roll around,
It will be a hurd matter to tell what mem
bers can be dispensed with.
One thing Is certain and that is that
with ten pitchers .on the string, about
four must be clipped from this depart
ment. Of tho now men. Reed Rnd Apple
gate showed up .best In tho first two ex
hibition games played with Lincoln. Still
this advantage might have been due to
the fact that they are of large build and
on this account- would show up bettor
than their lighter fellows In games where
speed was mightier than cleverness and
curve?, for tho opportunity for exhibi
tion of cleverness was not present and to
uso curves to any extent would have been
folly. Lota occasionally used a breaker
and It was effective. So did Closinun,
but his was not so effective. Closmnn,
though has a good alibi for losing the
first game, and that Is that he Is a
fcouthpaw and right-handed sluggers us
ually murder a left handed delivery when
;t does not have the stuff on It. Clos
man was too wise to take any chances
on Injuriug his pay wing by cutting It
loose
As Shestak is the only recruit catcher,
there tfj jutla chance of his going If he
hows the class ho promises. Ills work
in the only two gamos played yet has
been little short of wonderful. Ills re
ceiving has been good, his tudirmt,i
far as he had opportunity of displaying
it. has been orthe best, his eye always
Is on a base-ruAner. and he demonstrated
to the full satisfaction of all that he has
a whip capable of bulking said runner if
he venture too far towards second. So
much for his work In the field.
A Heavy Hitter.
At the bat he has exhibited rare talent
In the first game he was up twice with
out a hlngle. but the first time a re
r..arkabto play by the third bnseman rob
bed him of what looked like a hit. The
second time he fanned, and in so doing
assisted Kane In a successful attempt

for this deficit Sunday. When he

Fred Delf 's Guarantee Clothing company bowling squad is at present holding down third place in tho Boosters' league of the Association alloys, hav
ing won sixty-nine ganjes and lost thirty-five. This team, while possessed of bowlers much above the average, has played in hard luck nearly nil winter and
does not show tho caliber of which it is capable in tho percentage column. "While there is slight chance of the team climbing much highor'in the standing of
the teams, it is determined to hold third place, for which position it is being hotly pressed by the Brandeis High Balls.

Tho Morrison, Booster, Metropolitan.
Mercantile, Automobile and Stundurd
Oil leagues are still alive, but most of
theso will draw their last breath during
the next week or two.
All leagues report a successful season,
having close races, and every team lln
lshlng Its schedule.
.In the Omaha league the Advos .have
demonstrated by consistent winning thai
they have won the place they are en
titled to. In the Booster league the
Popel-Glllcrs have not won first place,
but they have a three-game lead which
the Clara Belles are unlikely to over
come. The ki l'nxos in the .Mercantile
league have a seven-game lead, which
will sure land the pennant for them, in
tho Gas league tho Eclipse Hanges lead
by a close margin, and In the Dentists'
league the Cosmos head the list. The
race In the Automobile league is not set
tled. The Nebraska' Ilulcks have a two
game lead oyer the-Storz Auto Supply
crowd, who aro coming fast.
Up at the Morrison alloys some ex
citing races were pulled off. In the Gate
City league the championship was not
decided until tho last night, when tho
Stors Triumphs won out over the Mid
west Tailors. The Stars played accord
ing to their name In 'the Knights of
Columbus league and won with a two
game lead over the Corkers. in the
Fairmont Creamery league tho Better
Butter crowd were' unable to live up to
their name, and tho Diadems ascended
to the throne. . The raco In the Morrison
league Is not decided, and won't be until
the last ball Is rolled. Tho Ntryker hhoe
company team has a one-game lead over
the lSlks' club and Old .Saxon Brau, who
are tied for second.
Over nt the Metropolitan alleys the
leagued are furnishing eltemont for
the bowling world. The Boselln Mixer
have the lead In the Metropolitan league.
but the Itumohr's Sports aie coming fant
and threaten to pull them down fiom
their lofty plnacle. In the Commercial
league the Hpnrtlng News team eased
Its way to the fr.ont and won by a emaU
margin.
Tlie race In the Standard Oil league is
Probably the most Interesting of all.
The teams In that league are so lined
up that one series will put the first team
ir. last place and the bottom team in
first place. Their race will not be de
cided until the last ball Is thrown.
The South Omaha rollers were neck
and neck In one of their races. In tho
Magic City league the Jetter's Gold Tope
grabbed first place after a hard fight.
The Swifts In. the Packers' league had
little trouble leading that organization,
finishing the seavou with an eleven-gume
lead over the Morris & Co . team.
On the Vinton Street. Fort Omaha and
Fort Crook alleys the raoes were closo
but the oldlers were unable to complete
their eoheduler on account of being
tailed to the horder
The outlook for next season's bowling
Is bright, and It Is hoped that more aliov
spare will be provided for the growing
organization of bowlers.
