A busy week for the Rourkes will be their last In camp at Oklahoma City. Only four names arc scheduled with other Western league clubs, but the yannlgans have two outside dates and probably two at home with the Salinn, Kansas State league club which Is train ing at Guthrie, and a day or two vacant will come In handy for the working out of signal play In games between tho colts and veterans. Some signal work has been given, but only the most necessary, and not until the final selection of play ers Is made will Manager Arbogast divulge all tho Inside plays he proposes to use this season. This Is to preclude tho possibility of some of those turned loosu Joining rival clubs and tipping things off. The arrival of Scanlon Baturday will aid materially In this matter, for with him to fill out tho yan Infield, Bchlpke can be kept on the regular team, making it complete as It will start Ihe season and certain plays can be taiight the regulars Monday and Tuesday whtlo the young sters are at tJuthrle. Only those certain of making the team will be kept at homo during these two days. Neff probahly will be kept at second for the yannlgans while Scanlon will go to short, sending Bright to the outfield where he belongs, has If your fancy runs to thoroughbreds, you'll fancy the Tom Moore. The Tom disappoints - The last week has been nn Ideal ono for baseball with, tho posslblo exception of Thursday, when, during the first White Sox contest a cold wind blew from the north, but as the sun sHono bright on the plhyu'rs, "only the spectators suf fered. As a result the Omahas made up for all tho time lost through bad weather during the early part of their stay hero. Every day except Monday saw a hard fought exhibition game and every morn ing saw the men out bright and early for practice. ." ' Work ovory morning and afternoon is tho program for the lost week. Gondtng left early this morning for Guthrie with his second team and Pa Kourke and Arbogast went to the ball park for secret schooling of tho regulars. In the after noon Arbogast lined his batters up and had ' his pitchers test them out on everything they have. Ho also put In some tlmo In the afternoon teaching the' men how to run bases nnd slide In a pinch. He has been making careful r.oto tho last week of each man's faults In base running nnd with these In a notebook will know Just what to do In each case. Coyle CnlnlnK Speed. His efforts to get "more speed out of Coyle seems to bo bearing fruit. The little left fielder has been getting there safe In a great majority of his chances. Kane seems to have tho happy faculty of knowing when to start. Justice and Bhlpko have the speed, but need drilling In the psychology of tho matter. Grubh Is built for spoed, but 1ms not learned how to get the long stride of which he Is capable. He has long legs and can move them rapidly, but he runs as ono never having been trained to tho art. Con gallon has the head, but he has too much weight. He rjrobahly will not be a very good pilferer, although he may be able to speed up when warm weather comes Tom Moore. won all the blue ribbons in the 10 it's groomed to satisfy the par ticular taste.

Derrick was spiked on the hnnfi by Wheat when the latter slid Into second In the fifth. Derrick was badly cut. Neither man may be able to start the championship season Thursday.

J RAIN' MAY PREVENT GAME Weather at Oklahoma City Anything but Ideal for Base Ball. TEAM PUTTING IN HARD LICKS While .Not on field IMnyem Are Slna- terlnir Inside Trick IMnyft Arhoffnat Loses Diamond Stickpin. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okl., April 7.-(Spe- clal Telegram.) Indications tonight are that rain may prevent the meeting of the Rourkes and Antelopes scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. At 6 o'clock this evening a heavy thunderstorm broke over the city, flooding tho streets. The weather bureau, however, declares it only a local shower and that Tuesday will be fair and warmer. Should no more rain fall it Is possible the game will be played, as the bnll park Is of sandy soil and the rain that has fallen tonight will not be suffi cient to Interfere. Whtlo no game was scheduled today the players had a most strenuous time, being at the park two hours In the morn ing and much longer In the afternoon. Most of the time between serslons was put In on developing Inside base ball, trick plays to be worked with signals. A sudden change has been made In the schedule of the Yannlgans. They went to Guthrie Sunday and defeated the Ballna team of the Kansas State league, 12 to 6. VETERAN WHO HAS JOINED" THE ROIIRKE FAMILY. WILLIAM CONGALTON. Judging by the way Bunk Congalton has started out in the spring exhibition games, uny Western leaguer who tops him in tho hit column when the season's accomplishments are footed up next fall must havo an averago just about equal that of Ty Cobb, For a dozen years Congalton has been playing professional base ball and for the lust decade he has been a .300 sticker, Barn In Guelph, On tario, somn Cma boforo he took up base ball as n profession. It was only natural that Hamilton, Ontario, should have had bin first service. But even the love of htimo could not hold him and he went to Wheeling In the Interstate Iedgu.. From Wheeling he was snatched by Min neapolis. 'After a term at that plaqe hi went to Colorado Springs and from "olo rado Springs Columbus secured h'-m In 1901 That year he was a sensation and was quickly grabbed by Cleveland. He was with Cleveland In VXA and then went back to Columbus, where he batted .800 regularly and fielded right at the 1.0X1 mark for so long he became so much "ono of the home boys" that the time finally came when be was face to face with the proposition of either get ting out of base ball or getting out of Columbus. Toledo offered him a change of pasture and It was from Toledo that Pa Rourke, with the assistance rf a check of sizeable proportions, secured the big man to complete what he considers the best outfield in the circuit. for The Bee. by ( V4G v Monday they went to Stillwater for a pt.tr of games with the Oklahoma Aggies and will return Wednesday. The regulars have filled In a vacancy Wednesday with the .Oklahoma Operating company's team of the Commercial City league. Some tie ago, In a five-inning contest the Operators played the Omahas, S to 3, nnd showed to such a good ad vantage in a game Sunday with another City league club as a prelude to the Omaha-Sioux City contest, that Rourkc did not hestltate to give them Wednes day's date. While the team was at the park thl morning some one entered the room of Manager Arbogast nt the hotel, taking a diamond stickpin which he valued very highly. It was a reward for heavy hit ting given him by his admirers. .Detec tives have been detailed on the case and are confident they will recover the stolen property much easier than they did the paraphernalia stolen from the club house shortly after the Omaha's went Into camp.

TEDEUM AND HIGH MASS OF THANKS ATSACRED HEART The parish of the Sacred Heart has suffered more from the tornado than any one Individual congregation. The church Itself, with Its group of Instttu , tlons, convent, schools and hall, escaped with a damage of only about $200. But , over sixty-five families had their homes badly damaged and twenty-four had their homes almost wrecked or completely blown away. Two parlshoners were j killed outright and one died as a result or a wouna rrom a piece or wreckage. Yet more than a dozen families had mir aculous escapes from the ruins of their homes.
