Judgments
V
THE Western league will throw
open Its gates for 1913 on S'rlday
of this week. Wo hopo It will bo
to admit largo crowdB, not only
for tho first games, but Increas
ingly largo as tho season progresses. It
Is cubtomary to hall each succeeding sea
son as the best, therefore, while hoping
thlB ono may sustain the record, we
tefraln from the hailing as a matter of
form. Tho season will prove the best If
tho teams are tho best. Base ball never
lias and never will beg support when well
played and tho Western league magnates
"need fear, nothing this year If they have
good teams, as they claim to have. As for
picking winners or even guessing on the
probable outcome, far be that from us.
We've heard that Denver proposes to re
peat again as tho pennant winner, and
wo'vo heard that Pa Rourko expects to
win, and so as to several others. Of
corusc, while we wish Denver good luck,
we hope It docs not win the pennant, and
somehow or other, as we run our eye
down the lineup, we rather doubt Its
winning, which Is not to say that Pa
will win. As to Omaha, tho team looks
formidable, but has dono none too well
against other Western league teams In
the spring preliminaries. It seems to us
It depends chiefly upon what the pitchers
do. Anyone who followed It last reason
will admit that It Is a strong team. It
lost Nlehoff and that was a genuine
loss, but young Grubb Is touted high and
may succeed In time In filling tho Kap
at tljlrd. Aside from that there is no
difference between the In and outfields
of this year and last and the catching
department has been, strengthened, It
any thing. But it was stron enough In
1912. The whole situation', so far as Omaha
Is concerned,, seems to be up to tho box.
. Ty Cobb Is still a holdout, though there
aro faint suspicions that ho and Presi
dent Navln of Detroit will soon get to
tether. One of these Is Ty's delay in'
playing a series of his games his south
ern team .ot holdouts has on hands,
"awaiting word from Detroit." Navln
Bays It Is ho who Is doing tho a-altlng;
that ho has no news to write to Brother
Ty. Of course, there haven't been many
Ty Cobbe, so It Is Impossible to say
that Ty Cobbs never are allowed to re
main holdouts long, but as a matter of
fact some stellar ball players nearly up
to tho. Cobb magnitude have been per
mittfii tn nout it out and Navln may
decldo to let Cobb pout, but we doubt
It. Ty may even decldo after a while that
ho Is worth a little Was than J15.000 a
year and come to work. In the meantime,
he seems to be observing the laws very
well.
President Johnson of the American
league, the leader In all progressive and
jolld reforms In base ball, announces his
Intention of having the game speeded up
even more this year: that is, as to tho
economy of time. It would be well for
the Western league to adopt that plan
and compel recognition, for Instance, of
the rule forbidding a pitcher to stall by
rubbing tho ball In tho ground and re-onr-tlncr
tn other such obvious devices.
Umpires should be held responsible for
uch things. They only tire ana aisgust
fans, and fans are the ones to be satis
fied, not some white-livered pitcher, who
ecls himself going.
Jimmy Sheckard la the latest of the
Cubs to come In for congratulations, tnat
Is, to get away from Murphy. He has
yono to St. Louis. Sheck is one of the
oldest men In the game in point of
service and has been a tower of- strength
to Chicago. He was a cog In the great
wheel at Baltimore and was alter with
Brooklyn. , His going leaves only a few
of tho old Cubs Bvers and Bchunlte being
about all that Is left of the first of
"fiance's great machine.
The four Omaha members of tha 9t.

BJ1U B ' '
3am Agnew, Jimmy Austin, Qua Williams
nd Shotten. Another Omaha man, Don
Hasan, figured in an opening game, re
lieving Nap Kucker at Brooklyn aud on
the second day he won his own game
tor Brooklyn against the Phillies.
If you care for a line on the American
league outcome you may get It from this
eldo remark of tho Old Fox, othnrwlae
known as Clark Griffith, manager of
Washington: "We will have but one
team to beat, the Athletics."
Tho Athletics and Phillies played a
erles of five ante-session gamei, the
Athietim wlnnlne four, tho fifth result
ing In un elghteen-lnnlng tie. This ought
to give o fair idea of the relative strength
jf tho two teams.
If the work that Jimmy Sheckard did
tor the Cubs last year Is a sample of me
kind that calls for waivers, then what
about the other fellows? The Cardinals
were right to nab the veteran at '.he
"valver price.
The Sporting News with an eye to
alliteration, refers to the "Mltalcs of
Murphy" and the "Errors of Bvers."
f there have been many of the former and
T ." . ... - -
probably will be enough of tha tailor.
Of course If Jack Hendrix does not wjn
llip pennant again, we hope he will try to
smile just the same.
OLD PILL ROLLING AGAIN
Local Fans Wanned Up Last Sunday
in Splendid Fashion.
WILL PLAY AT BOURKE PARK
Store Triumph nnd All-Stars Will
Open Season Today vrltii Illttcrly
Fought Game on l'n's
Diamond.
Ily FRANK CIUIGLKV.
The fans started tho old pill a rolling
last Sunday In a very satisfactory man
ner. All tho games were close, just tho
kind that bring blushes to the cheeks
of tho fanatics. Several hundred bugs
witnessed tho Ancient Order of United
Workmen-Townsend contest and they
were well repaid for the fuss was iv
thriller from tho start of the duel till
the last man entered the graveyard col
umn. Before the aforementioned,
tanglo the Store and "All Stars" put
on a four-round exhibition, which re
sulted In a victory for the happy water
family, by a 2 to 1 score. Ot course, It
doesn't go down on the records as a
game, because It only went four Innings.
Anyway It was a grand demonstration of
tho national pastime. Tho two games
scheduled for Rourke park last Sabbath
were called off because Commander Davo
Rourko thought the grounds wcro not
In condition to be trampled on.
All our vacant lots that nrp avallablo
for base ball exploits will be utilized from
now on, so It will be an easy proposi
tion for tho base ball magnates to find
a place to spend their houts of recrea
tion. All the class "A" teams seem to bo
materially and substantially strengthened
slnco last term and from present Indi
cations nono of tho wiseacres care to
moke any predictions as to which out
fit will cop the .bunting this year. One
thing Is a cinch and that Is that tho
Storz Triumphs, recognized as the semi
pro crowd, will havo several teams to
buck against that will make them step
some In order to grab the sweetmeats.
From all appearances It looks as though
this season will be a vast Improvement
over all the others. As most all of tho
rough necks have been obliterated from
the ranks of tho local amateurs tho fans
are taking more of on interest In the
contests pulled off between local vege
tables. Their patronage la what helps
the wheel go around.
At Itourke Park.
Owing to the unfavorable weather
Brother Dave has) been unablo to get
Pa's ball yard in shape to allow Omana't
favorite semi-professional club, the Storz
Triumphs, to open their season, but the
word has gone forth that the grounds
are now in good condition and Manager
Bradford has arranged a stellar attrac
tion 'In celebration of the ovent.
The headllner this afternoon will bo
fought between the Storz Triumphs and
All-Stars, composed of tho local profes
sionals, including Bills ot the Omahn
team, who will do the twirling. The curtain-raiser
Is, also, of more than ordinary
caliber, being between tho Advos, ono of
our strongest amateur teams, and "Pep
per" Mullen's Alamltos, all of whom
are classed as seml-professlonals. The
first game will be called promptly at 2
o'clock.

and they both marched homo with the
bacon. This will bo the first opportunity
