Bter; but the game would have-been the
loser for the compulsory retirement of

as the lawyers say, as "having accom

phases of the present condition of or
ganized ball, with relation to the "slav
ery" under the reserve clause, and con
ditions growing from It, one Is Irresist
ibly inclined to turn back a matter of
a dozen years, to the time when Ban
Johnson, Charley Coralskey, Connie
Mack and some others of the" staunch
upholders of "organised base ball" were
4'nccuraging the "slaves" of the National
league to break their contracts and Join

Dim Hart's Chicago team, to the Cin

others, and, on the other, hand, of the

wonder if It wouldn't b wiser for th
magnates to wait "till the shadows are
a little longer grown" before they begin
to insist on. the absolute purity of mo
tives of the owners. Steel and concrete

By FRANK QUlObBT.
This season the amateurs are kicking
through with the goods and their efforts
to date have proved prolific from a fi
nancial standpoint, as well as lif- every
other way. As long as the teams' con
tinue, to play mediocre base ball and keep
the rough stuff In the cellar, the army of
fans will increase. From present indica
tions it looks as If the rowdy base bat)
players have all been eliminated from the
ranks and as the managers have prom
ised to tie the hardware qn to any new
candidates that bob up, things ought to
run ns smooth as a well oiled machine
this term.
The best card In local circles will be
Jerked off at Fort Omaha this afternoon
when the Wagmans meet the Shamrocks
at one ring and a half and the Ancient
Order of United Workmen team tangle
with the O. D. Klpllngers at 3:30,
Last Sunday the Ancient Order of
United Workmen team figured that they
were up against the stlffest proposition
In Omaha when they bucked up. against
thei Alamltos. Said tussle resulted in a
3 to 3 knotted argument. Since the Ala
mltos failed to grab the winning number
tho lodge representatives are of the opin
ion that they can and will waits away
with the championship. Today's game
will cut copslderable Ice and It Is a cinch
the Smoke., factory )ads will. jrove
tough antagonists; the Ancient Order of
United Workmen combination will have
to put on oodles of steam to garner the
winning pearly. Holland or Caaa will bo

will work for the opposition. Following

be between the Chris Lycks and the Sol
Phils and the second squabble Stors Tri

the Luxus band proved tbt they didn't
belong to the Jeffries camp and come
back by defeating the O. b. Klpllngers In
a hard-fought battlo by the score of 3
to 2. Either Oloson, Kelly or Alderman

Other Squabbles.
At Florence park a pair of nifty
squabbles are expected this afternoon,
when the Florence Athletics buck up
against the Ramblers and the AJhambras
clash with the Brail Hansens. These four
teams are all fast, bo a couple of dasay
Jaunts are anticipated. The first game
wilt start promptly at 1:30 o'clock, and
the second will ring in at about four .bells.
The Moose club wilt Jaunt down to
Diets park and endeavor to wallop the
M. B, Smith herd. Bald Jangle will com

rel was a close affair so something In
teresting is looked for today.

Parks will bump up against the Fontenelle
Parks. UP to date these two bands have
been putting up a high grade article of
base ball to the same Is predicted for
today.

Chance May Yet Come' Back
RAT KEATING. .
NEW YORK, May Jt-Weak pltohlng
and ragged Infield defense have been the
two great barriers which have kept
Frank Chance from coming into his own.
6o rickety have been these Joints in his
machine that he and his followers have
often despaired of his ever getting out
of the bottom grove. Durin the first
Lmonth of the season he hod to rely al
most soieiy lor nis pitching strength on
ay neaiing. this recruit is the newest
star in major balldom. His twirling thus
far has been one of the great sunrises
of the year. Within one month Keating
has secured a position alongside the best
hurlers in baso ball, and It ia nredleteii
by experts that before the season Is
over no will moke them all look to their
laurels.
On the Pathetic other henA. , m
star of the Yankees, Russ Ford, made a
miserable showing during the first four
or five weeks of the season. It 1nw
now as If Ford was returning to his ,o!d
form of the 1911 season, which said form
is practically invincible. With Ford and
Keating going at top-notch, and Hal
Chase again tha wizard of old, with the
managerial acumen of the Peerless
Leader to back them up, the Yankees be-
bunch used a couple of ringers against
tho Gnu company squad. No, they weren't
centrals, Just ringers.
Gillespie Is doing excellent work be
hind the pole for the Council Bluffs Im
perials this season. He makes the base
pilferers love the cushions.
A coUDls of dlncreoancles made bv the
Ancient Order of United Workmen with
gents on the bags Is what allowed the
Alamltos to tie tha score last Sunday,

Probably some of our other fnst teams

the Chance aggregation worsted tho first
division teams of the American league,
did not seem to revive any great amount
of hope In the breasts of tho Chance fol

the Yankee program so long that their
friends have all become naturalised Mis

haunting fears, It looks as If Chance was
beginning to show his great quality, and
tho first thing the fans know a miracle
will have been performed. ,

There are certain medicinal properties

and the Influence of these properties Is
that of an antleote. This la why 8. & 8.
has such a positive action on tha akin.
There la one Ingredient In 8. B. 8. which
peculiarly stimulates cellular or glandular

the causa of disease la Just as constantly

It Is surprising 'the amount of real

by a single doso of S. 8. 8,
This famous remedy baa an aotton un

Dr. Westmoreland atates that S. 8. B.
