AND Ty Cobb also came home.
Verily It seemeth as hard for a
ball player In his prime, espe
cially a star, to trult tho same
&i for n. PRmpl tn nn thrnuth th nn nf n
' needle. TyhaasigncdandtheNatlonal com-
mission will do the rest. There is no
more doubt of his reinstatement than
there was of Hal Chase's, when he de
liberately quit New York and took up
with an outlaw gang In California. Base
ball law Is Inscrutable and all that, but
its inscrutability never seems to bar men
of this type! Besides, this is the age of
arbitration and even questions of national
honor ' and integrity aro arbitrable.
Then why not the reinstatement of a
great nail player? Ty evidently came back
with even moro alacrity, once he found
he might, than tho prodigal of old and
wo are Just wondering If some of the
faithful sons who staid at home and took
what wis coming to them will not ho
inclined to regard the concessions made
to Tyrus somewhat as did the other son
the fatted-calf affair pulled off for his
truant brother upon his return. It will
always be hard to maintain successful
evenness of temper in a team, one of
whose outfielders draws the salary Cobb
does, no matter though he may moro than
draw Its equivalent at the gate and come
as near as1 possible to earning It with
the park. It remains a thorn tn tho flesh
.to the other boys, unless they happen to
be perfectly unselfish boys. There Is Sam
Crawfofd,forinstance,playlngslde by side
with Cobb, who has been his support
from the start, a wonderful hitter, fielder
and baso runner, getting, if reports bo
true, less than half Cobb's salary. And
thoro are others. Mr. Navin may even
' find that with" Cobb's return all his wor
ries are not over.
As might b"e expected, New Tork fans,
some of them, are crylngr for the scalp
of Frank Chance. Ho Is no manager, no
leader, no player; his work and tho
team's miserable standing show It. This
is their plaint. What boots It that for
soven years he stood the peerless leader
of tho diamond,? Let him win the games,
every game, If he would please some.
But there Is a balance of sanity to save
the day from the fickle fan. W, J. Mo
( Beth, a New York correspondent to tho
Sporting News, expresses it:
Now, .as a matter of fact, Frank Chance
needs no one's sympathy. He will work
out his salvation as surely as the sun
shines In the sky. It Is not going to take
lilm many years or many months or many
days to do it either. Before a month has
rolled around the "Big Bear" of Cub
fame will nave whipped hlB forces Into
alignment and then some of the knockers
are likely to become real "I-told-you-so"
boosters.
Just a little reflection behind an ounce
of gray matter would show skeptical ones
where lie whatever faults have been evi
denced In the play of the Highlanders
to date. If one were looking for alibis
the Injuries to Chance and Derrick might
be cited. Their absence has hurt a great
deal, but not so much as the rough, In
clement weather encountered since the
return from Bermuda.
He then proceeds to show the setback
from Chance's Injury and other natural
causes and predicts an early brace In
the team that will turn the frowns of
the fans Into smiles. One thing. Chance's
own work since taking the Initial bag.
has been of his old-time greatness. He
is fielding and hitting In fine form. His
chief difficulty, of course, Is building up
a team from the bottom to compete with
already highly-organized machines. But
his record 'Is prima facie evidence of his
ability.
Somehow, we cannot help hoping there
Is no truth In tho report of old Cy
Young's alliance with one of the outlaw
teams as manager. While, of course, Cy
has a right to play ball or run a team
iu an outlaw league, it tends rather to
dim the luster of his long and honorable
career in organized base ball for him to
think of doing it. He Is now 40 years
of age and has been off the diamond but
a year. Base ball was good to Young
and, of course, he was good to It, did
wonders to promote It; but after all, he
Is Its product. There Is no reason why
he should engage In an enterprise of this
sort as a recalcitrant, for he was not
that when he quit. And he always said
that when he finished with Cleveland he
was through with the game, never to
Play In minor company. We hope, from
a sentimental point of view, that old Cy
itays with that high resolve.
It Is disappointing that Wichita has not
been able to get In better form, but Its
poor start should not discourage it or
its local supporters. There Is time for Im
provement. The team has some excellent
material and If the funs will have be
fitting patience things may come out all
right in a very short time. Some team
has to start last and bad.
Don't get out your hammers yet. boys,
the Rourkes have Just started. They are
a good team and will get there. Come on,
everybody oost.
Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago Is to
be congratulated on putting the ban on
fake wrestling. That is one way to pre

By FRANK dUIf.LEY.
Mr. Rain did his worst to do the goat
stunt and spoil the fun last Sunday, 'but
he slid Into a starchy proposition and
was badly mutilated In tho opening
round. ,
Every game on the menu card was
dished out, Just as If the clouds hadn't
leaked. According to the dope manufac
tured to date there are, approximately,
ten teams mustered together that are go.
ing to put up some fight toy the cham
pionship rag. It is a cinch that It won't
be all milk and honey for any certain
aggregation this season, because several
contingents that look pretty sugary will
have their searchlights on the old rag
continually.
That long-looked-for and much-touted
grand opening at Athletic park will take
place today. All the pomp and splendor
necessary for such an auspicious occa
sion will be rolled out. Tho field now Is
In the same shape as Rourke park. The
grandstand and bleachers ar.i located in
the southwest corner of the lot. The Ini
tial contest will be between tho Council
Bluffs De Vol Victors and the Dundee
Woolen Mills. This Jamboree ought to
be a humdinger, as both teams are
evenly matched and oodles of bitter Junk
will serve to make the affair a trifle
warmer. After thlB duel the Council
Bluffs Merchants and the Ancient Order
of United Workmen lads, that havo to
date made an enviable record, circum
stances considered, will do their utmost
to whip1 each other. This squabble will
be the Merchants' first encounter, while
their opponents havo already mixed In
three battles, one of which was a ten
Inning event. It Is a lead pipe that
this battle Will be a thriller from tho first
whisper of the czar till the last gent is
paralyzed. Following Is the lineup for
the second game:
A. O. U. W. C. B. MERCHANTS.

Double-IIrnilcr at Lnim Park.
Out at Luxus park a dandy double
decker Is on the program for this after
noon. The curtain raiser will be between
the Chris Lycks and the Ramblers. After
this battle has crossed the great divide
the Advos will entertain the boys that
represent Armour & Co. About 100 In
green paper will act as an Incentlre to
Ice this argument and as oodles of sour
Junk exists between these two herds a
game worth the mazuma and then some
will undoubtedly be the outcome. The
winners will dine at some swell food em
porium this evening at their opponents'
expense. Edward Lawler, the well known
Incnl base ball heaver, will be on deck tn
do tho barking. Herewith the lineup:
Armours Dunnlvan. catcher; Qumess,
pitcher; Kelly, first; B. Hlatt, second;

Down on the green at Pa Rourke's pas
lure the redskins that frolic around this
country under the well known monicker
of Green's Nebraska Indians will be on
deck toda arrayed In their war togs In
order to scalp our champion semi-pro.
Store Triumphs. It Is a sight In Itself to
see theso crimson toinmyhawkers spin
around on a .bnse ball field. The way
they dance around has,got the war dance
backed off the boards, 'inclement weather
kept the suds boys In the shade as far as
practice It concerned, but at that they
will, as usual, be In the old battle from
the whistle till the last Indian Is burled.
As a consequence the Gren band will
have to rag It pretty fast to waltz out of
this metro with the large end of those
musical stiver pieces. Pip Cooke, formerly
a pigskin star at the Nebraska highbrow
institution, is the only pale face on the
payroll. Big Chief Strongheart or Brady
will shoot 'cm for the paint usrs, while
Kelly or Olesori will twlggle for the white
animals. Game called at 2 bells. Fol

with the Foresters. According to the
dope these two corporations ought to pull
off some sensational stuff.
The special attraction at Fort Omaha
for today is tho row between tho O. U.
Kipllngers and the Jubez Cross squads.
This quarrel will ring in at three and a
half strikes and a real battle In which
plenty of ginger, pep, bitter dope and
everything else that serves to make a
base ball game a drawing card will be
spilled out. Bebor will hurl for tho Cross
family, while Moran will kink 'em for the
weed merchants. Before this Jamboree
the Alamltos and the Shamrocks will
do their best to trample each others
colors In the dust. Following Is the lineup

from Chicago got busy last week and
Btlrred up considerable base ball noise.
A few hours after tho baso ball buzz was
started a team commenced to bud and
In a few hours ten stalwarts were picked
out.
Up at tho Nebraska talking works a
team has been organized to play on Sat
urdays. They will be under the direction
of Mr. Hartley. In all probability Nolai,
the basket ball star, will captain the
bunch. Teams wishing games will be
accommodated if they call the Nebraska
Telephone company and squak for Hart

the Wahoo amateurs at Fremont. Next
Sunday they play tho Storz Triumphs and
the following Sunday they hook up with

Several of out local combinations' will

today.
Those Foresters ought to be able to

If the Model Steam laundry organized
a team do you think that they could

Out on the turf at Florence park the
Florence Athletics will look horns with
the Stars and Stripes.
Although no water Is ever visible. It
seems as though many of our local um
pires heads are swimming.
Today will be the first chance the
Council Bluffs fans have had to see their
Impregnable Infield in action.
Next Saturday tho Shamrocks will
whizz up to Columbus, Neb., where they
are billed to feast for two days.
According to Chief Kennedy, those
Union Pacific Athletics are going to cut
a figure in local base ball society.
This morning the Townaend crew will

he has sewed together for this season.
Tom Carew is the regular pick-up gent
for the Alamltos. He never makes an

Down at Plattsmouth, Neb., the, Al

Manager Mullen of the Alamltos says
he is going to make a clean sweep In
Omaha this season. Well, Omaha cer
tainly needs It.
The Hoctor Drummers Just stepped over
the ropes In their debate with the Fon
tanels Parks They squeezed through
with a 6 to S score.
You Omaha managers want to remem
ber that the C. B. fltolz aggregation Is
btlll on the map and ready to schedule
games with nil comers.
Orkln Bros, have got a game booked
with tho Come Cash Mokes that dish

Our brewery braves, more commonly
known as the Luxus tribe, sailed for Co

At Dletz park the Moose lodge team
will do their mightiest to send the M. E.
Smith team home with lemon counte
nances. A lively bout Is looked for when
they hitch up. Game called at 2:30.
We have sure got a couple of real Gra

' Graham, attached to the Dundee Woolen
, Mills, and th other Is George Graham,
isssoclated with the Storz Triumphs.
, These gents can sure crack 'em on the
I smeller.
I Madam Rumor has It that some of our
. feminine stenographers are figuring on
I organizing a team. It ought to ho an
easy matter for the manager to dictate
to them. They would have us ordinary
1 ball tossers handicapped because they
! would have their two paws that nature
Kave them and then they could use their
shorthand.
Relies on Yonnsr Pllrhers.
; A large-sized suspicion Is entertained
I In select circles that If Connie Mack wins
I a pennant this year it will be because
I liU young pitchers come through, cer-

Dr. Spaeth and alumni Interested In crew
mattern were, loath to admit that they
looked forward to the time when -a
Prlncoton crew would be seen In competi
tion In one, of tho championship race, but
stnoo then tho crew has mndo rapid
strides In gaining favor among Prince
ton's under graduates.
Whether Princeton will be Invited to
row at New Loudon Is a question, how
over. Tho course on the Thames Is so
narrow that a third crew could hardly
find room tltero. Cornell did row against
Harvard and Vnlo on the Thames In 1S0S,
but a flvo minutes' talk with Charlie
Comtnoy will convince any ono that the
Thames was designed only for a two
crow raco and that a hardship Is worked
on ono crow If moro than two compoto.
With threo crows In tho raco ono must
take a twisting courso that brings It over
shallow water and through eel grass.
As for tho Poughkeopslo regatta, there
Is no doubt that Princeton would find n
hearty wolcomo from Cornell, Columbia
and Pennsylvania, tho members of tho
Intercollogiate Rowing association, and
Syracuse nnd Wisconsin, tho crows which
row there on Invitation of the older throe.
The Pougtikrepnla course hns yet to bo

NI5W YORK. Alrll SO. The fact that
both Presidents Johnson and Lynch, ol
the two big lcaguos recently turned down
In effect tho suggestions of President
David Full of tho Federation ot llase
Ball Plnyors, that players he given a
chance to state their sldn of the case be
fore fines arc Imposed, tho movement
for more Justice for tho players Is grow
Ing. Thoro Is little chanco that this sug
gostlou will bo acted on for tho present
nt least, but tho resentment of tho play
ers against tho method which has been
In prnctlco for so long Is becoming deep
seated, nnd It Is quite probable, that this
matter will cause a disturbance In the
national pastime unless It Is adjusted.
President Fulls spent cons!deral16 time
during tho last few months bringing tin
matter to tho attention of the miljoi
lenguo presidents. President Ban John
son ot tho American league turned tin
suggestion down with scant ceromony,
whllo l'reshlont Lynch pigeon-holed It,
May He lleardt
President FUltz Is, however, still hope
ful that the demands of tho players for
n right that' Is given men in other lines
of work will bo granted. Commenting
on tho Issue, Mr. Fultz said!
"Of course, 1 realize that tho umpire
should bo supremo on the field, and whon
he thinks u player should bo sent to the
bench, why, ho should be sent', and no '
argument.
"But," ho went on, "the point I wish
to emphasize Is the fact that when tin
umpire sands In Ills report the playei
Is fined on tho facts us stated. The um
pire's stand In the case Is bound to b
prejudiced,
"As a matter of fact I expected Just
the sort ot reply from Johnson that he
made to my suggestion and believed that
I was wasting time In writing to him.
President Lynch pigeon-holed my lattsr,
said It had been recolvcd and all that,
that's his way."
