She couldn't keep her. eye off o' m. "We'll get 'era tomorrow, "(the .yellow, oulttin' dogs. .t ' In another -column we 'give today an epitome of the Rourke team In history for the fourteen years or Bill Rourke's leadership and ownership.' AU ltr.all It la. a good showing. The team has fin ished in first division nine times, in sec ond five times, which surpasses any other team's record except that of Denver, and practically equals Denver's. Here Is a point to which brief reference Is. made In the article that will -.bear turthir1 em phasis: Rourke always had 'a -strong team when the league was stronger, com posed of larger cities, such as Minneap olis, St. Paul, Milwaukee, Kansas City and others, while his weakness has been most manifest when the league was weak est Perhaps he does not feel the In centive to do as much with a small-town circuit, but we cannot quite appreciate such a feeling and do not actually Impute It to him. The fact Is, though, as we see It, there would be less discontent ment among the fans It Rourke, In the next largest city or. the circuit, had kept bis team more formidable tn the last few years. As we say, though, on the whole, as .the figures , themselves show, the Rourkes have been a leader. In- Wea.tern league races. The league must undergo marked Improvements If It Is to maintain In fact as well as name Its standing as t Class A organization. The proposal of supplanting the world's (cries' with a post-season Inter-league con test Including all the sixteen clubs might prove the more popular. Bomethlng surely must be done to Interrupt this American league monopoly of the world's cham pionship. Oh, Muggsy Is going to do it this time? Well, at that, he has a chance. But what factor, so much as sheer luck, determines such contests? Too many stars fall down, too many subs thine. In the great games to bedim the luster of luck In the eyes of most fans. Seven games is not enough, at best, to determine supremacy between any two great teams. And for that matter, maybe there Is no such supremacy. The fact that the tallenders can every now and then wallop the leaders stands, not only as the slna qua non to base ball, but Irrefutable proof of the uncertainty of .he dope.- Batter up! Put It over, Matty! Denver has just won Its third consecu tive pennant, and fourth In fourteen years. Oh, for a league In which the pennant race will last longer than the first lineup of the respective we do not cay rival teamsl But that won't fease thosa who like to bo gulled and continue, to gulp down the matter written by the expert news paper man and slgiMd by the expert ball player. Well, It's all over and Grubb didn't make us forget Nlehoff, as they said In Veraldlng him he would. Schlpke is concluding the season as If he meant to resume the title of "slugger Bill." It's about time for Kllng to begin an nouncing he will never don another uniform. ALL SQUADS ARE LINING UP Ag-Breffatlona that Will Grace the Field of Tussle Are Getting In Tone and Some Wilt Ploy This Afternoon, BY FRANK QUIG1,1!Y. As It Is approximately time for. the robins to wing It to a warmer climate and for Madam Base Ball to seek se clusion In slumberland, It Is In order to turn attention-to foot ball. Already all the kids, young men and even some of tho older dudes, have been scouting' tho attlo for their moleskin rags. This tan easily be verified by the fact that nearly all the teams aro ready for business. Some of them haverot battles billed for today and by next Sunday they will nil be In. bloom. From present Indications the prospects for a prosperous sjaron are exceedingly bright. Last year was a good season, but many expect to leave last year In the shado this term. All the boys need to make them produce the best they are 'capable of Is to have a crowd of fans on deck. Last year the fans woke up and the boys reciprocated by dishing out.reltshable foot ball. It is an absolute fact and bofore many moons have rolled by Die Sunday exponents of the leather egg game will educate the Omaha' pigskin lovers that,' S'unddy.' foot ball Is not played via the old style method. All the teams play the game Just ljke a university troupet- Of course they have' not got ,tfio ,advatajoxof day light practice and as tho 'majority of them work they can only spare a couple of nights iweek to devoto to foot ball. If some of:the skeptical humans don't think the' Sunday teams look like unt. stuff Just let them trot out somo nice day and watch tho work. They don't bawl up their signals and the plays are run off with machine-like prectsslon. ' A well oiled' engine doesn't run any smoother than' Ih'e Class A nmate'ur foot ball- squad. Nuff satd. Champa Back on Job.

Herewith the men who will compose the team. Komorsky, Woolsey, Yost, Pear son, Shestak, Wright, .Johnson, Tracey, Hachten, Tollman, Byerly, Rapp, Kon nelly; Smith', Andrews and Frank Qulg ley. As yet a captain has not been se lected. Harry Williams will coach and play with the team. The Superiors have secured Rourke park to play all their tangles, and they will put on their initial show next Sunday. Their opponents will be the Excelsiors.

The Monmouth Parks will utilise the Florence 'park, It 1s ndw in excellent shape and they Intend to keep It In that condition the', balance of the season: There will be a double-heador played at this park every Sunday. Worm Game at Benson. At Benson park this afternoon a real warm debate ls t anticipated when the California Athletics and the Defenders hook up. This will not be a practice event. It will be for blood and as both, teams have been practicing hard for the past two weeks a game worth the nicks and then some will undoubtedly be the out come. The Defenders are nearly Intact, .as ten of their old warhorses will be on the job, namely II. Sautelle, B. Sau- telle, "Brennan. McCague, -Peterson,- Fttx gcrald. Haller, Cady. Curtis and Selarce.

This season tho Spauldlngs will bo strongor and much heavier1 than last season. Circumstances considered, they mado a remarkable record last season. Following are the ginks that will uphold their reputation this season: Smith, Fitz gerald, ICreJek, Snider, Butts, Cavanaugh, Hoyo, Schrelbcr, LaChapelle, Ttfoylan, Hannlghan, Kauth, Blerman and Thiol. Last season the Athletics went pretty good, but, according to the dope, they are going to kick dust In all their opponents' lamps this year. Hero are the dust silngers: Blackman, Ray, Olson, Mc Graw, Atkins, Bealer, Fetzer, Isaacson, Greene, B. Moran, A, Moran and Fitch. Gridiron Flotsam. For bouts with the Superiors call Doug las 6270 and cough for William Byerly. Haesan, formerly the Crelghton full back star, 1b hitched to the Monmouth Parks.

Tollman, who was nicked for a half on the AU Iowa team, will hold down full for tho Superiors. ' Harry Williams, the Now York Amer ican first baseman, will coach the- Su perior aggregation. Haller, formerly a world beater at the village of. Blair, wll try for a berth wiyi the Monmouth Parks. Atkins', that star tacklo associated with the soldiers last term, will be on the Athletics" payroll this season. Flanagan was offered a chance to hook on with the Superiors,' but he wouldn't quit the Columbians. Valley, Neb., will be on thi map again this term with a strong bunch! of huskies. They always havo a good team. ' James (Lillian) Russell, who will prom enade at right half for the Fontonelles will pfobably make some sit up and blink. That lad tagged Frank Golden, who did excellent work for the high school last year, will be with' the Monmouth Parks. As. yet the Joe Smiths and Dodge Light Guards of Council BluffB have done comparatively nothing. The time Is rlpo for them to get busy. For games with "the Defenders slip up to their lot at Twenty-ninth and Far ham streets and consult their chief on any Tuesday or Thursday evening. This season the Superiors will have green and- white, sweaters and say they look dandy, alt the same as candy. They look good enough to eat, so sayeth Rat tlesnako Pete. Shestak, the fellow that never weak ened and who used to be the best line man ever hooked up" with the Diet squad, will flop In the ring again this Beoson with tho Superiors. Murphy Gets 111m.

John "Rod" Murray Is liable to be Just as prominent In tho coming world's series, as ho was In the last, when he was a shining light of dazzling brilliancy. In 19U "Red" wont through tho serlos between the Giants and Athletics without making a bae hit, and, In consequence. ho received almost aa many "knocks" that fall as did Snodgrass last yoar for making1 his world-famous muff. But the fiery-topped Irishman came right back with all of his Irish up, and laced tho ball far better and more timely against tho Red Sox than those who were batting, stars the previous year.' "Red's" fielding was fully up to bis own high standard, and his many bril liant catches aro matters of world's series history, Ono catch ho made when ho turned a back somersault over the low fence back of left field, on the Boston grounds wa a sensation of the series. Now, "Red" this year has shown Im provement over his fielding of past years. His work in the right field has been re markable, his one-hand catches having been little short of miraculous. But ho has made so many of thorn that they cannot be considered n "hdrseshoes." Murray Is a temperamental fellow, al though he had a tectum manner. If things turn his way during the first game of the world's' scries, one can look for him to do splendid work all throufh It. Ho is bound to do well, anyhow, but If he gets tho "break" bb a starter, then look out for the red-headed Irishman. Red Is not batting over-strong this year, his average being about .275. In world's serlos, though, any player's season's record may bo entirely nt vari ance wlthwhaf hp may do( In the fast ttin for th ffonfalo'h of the universe calls for. Murray Is very liable to cut loose at far over a .S0d gait. "Rod" tiut have some game of Importance on hand to become vitally interested, ana the world's series contests will surely atfortl that, "ned" is acknowlcged to own the strongest throwing arm of any outfielder In tho country, and his accuracy or aim Is nrovcrblnl. There aro no National league players who dare to take any long chances' with Red's famous "wing," and It li not likely that any of the Athletics will do so. f A good throwing outfielder Is a very valuable man for any, club, and there aro none hotter than Red. He can be depended on to hold the Athletics down to aa few as Is possible. As a irroupd-coverer Rd has no super ior, mid ho is a sterling lnsi runner. Ho can he depended on to fully hold hl own agalnnt any of his apposing outfielders, except In batting. by Denver. Had It won that day Its first divisions would1 be ten as against lour seconds.- 1 AnnlyaU ot the Period. 'The analysis of these fourteen years Is, ot course, most fuvorablo to tho Rourke management and Is occasioned at this time by the persistant discontent mani fested with the condition and standing of tho team. Its record Under Rourke has, as we've shown, been one of stub born effort, making the team In almost every season terror, to every contest. Omaha's pennants wero wan In 1!XM and 1907. This was tho team In 1W4; Catch ers, Gondtng and Frecso; pitchers, Miner Brown, Jack Pfclster, War Sanders, Quick, Companion and McCarthy; first base, Jack Thomas; second, Del How ard; third, Schlpke; 'short, Joe Dolan; left field, Dusty Miller and Buck Thlel; center, Harry Welch; right,. Carter, In 1907: Catchers, Gondtng and LeBrand; pltohors, Clyde Hall, Thompson, Pat Ragan, Banders and McNcely; first base, Dolan; second, George Graham l third, Jimmy Austin; shortstop, Buck Franck; left field, Chick Autrey; center, Welch; right, BUI Beldon, with King utility In and outfleldor. I Crovrda In Those Dnfi, The Sunday crowds for 1907 averaged 0,000 and tho week-day attendance aver aged between 1)600 and 2,000 and' these figures were maintained up to the very closing game. That, of courso, offers Its own suggestion to Mr, Rourke, quite apart from how welt the team has or has not done In the long run. Omaha In former years was known as one ot tha best crowd-producing minor league cities on tha map. This fact la notable: When the league was strongest with such, cities as Mil waukee, Kansas City, Minneapolis and St. Paul, Rourke's team was stronger than now In n small town league. Tho Bee but recently enumerated a list of stellar men who have graduated from tho Omaha diamond to the majors and that list Includes Long Tom Hughes, Miner Brown, Frank Owen, Jack, Pfels ter, Pat Ragan as pitchers; Agnew and Hick Johnson, catchers; Perrlng, Bchlpke, Austin and Nlehoff from third base; Del .Howard, Georgo Stone, Chick Autrcy and Qua Williams. This of Itself shows the kind of stuff tho Rourke teams have boon composed of. The Bee cannot Bay what will bo tho result for next season, whether Rourka will sell or keep the team, but It Is ad vised by him to this effect, that If he keeps It. as ho expects to do, he will havo much ney material andako the effort of his life once more to land a pennant! 8hinan1onti Defeats ISUIott.

Barry and his side partners. Eddie Collins, second bas n an .form one of the greatest combina tions that ever guarder the center of a diamond, according to Manager McGraw of the jGiants. William A. (Pa) Rourke has been In charge of the Omaha Western league ball team for fourteen years, taking" hold as part owrier with Buok Keith In 1M0. In those fourteen years his teem has finished In first division nine times, In second division five times, Including this year. It has won two pennants, finished second twice, third three times, fourth twice, -fifth four times and eighth or last once. Denver and Des Moines aro the only other teams In the league now that wero there In 1900 and havo been con tinuously since. Denver has finished nine times In the first and five times In tho second division, precisely tho record of Omaha. Vis Moines has split even, finishing seven times In each the first and second divisions, Denver has won four pennants and Des Moines three, two of Des Moines' pen nants coming In 19CC and 1900, respectively, when the circuit consisted ot but six teamu. Denver has finished in last place twice, as against once for Omaha, while Des Moines has finished In last place three times, and In-sovonth, or next to last place, three times. No other team In the league of 1913 that has been In It for most of this period of fourteen year has won a pen nant except flloux City, whioh won It twice, once In a six and once In an right-club league. Neither Lincoln, St. Joseph, Topeka or Wlohlta has ever won a Western league pennant. That 1002 Job. Omaha's record, then, bb to the first and second divisions, is ahead of any team In the league except Denver's and exactly ties that. In 1002 Omaha lost the pennant to Kansas City by halt a game and fans with keen memories will recall how that came about. Omaha and Kansas City wero half a camo apart. Omaha was playing MilwauKce In Omaha, Kansas City was playing Denver In Denver. A mixture ot snow and rain 'was falling In an ugly wind in the Colorado city and the regular league grounds were too wet for playing, so the gamo was transferred to another grounds. Denver was out of the pen nant race, but Kansas City had to win that game to get the pennant and with the Tcbeau community of Interests hov ering maternally over the two clubs, Denver proceoded to play the game, whloh very naturally, under the circum stances, was won by Kansas City, arid, owing to the weather, stands out as one of the farces of Western league history. Omaha Wins lth Ilronn, Omaha, with Miner Brown In the box and Gondlng behind tho bat, shut out Milwaukee In a hard-fought battle, 4 to 0, and' the race ended with Kansas City's peroentage .COS, Omaha's, .000. Mllwaukeu wus a close third, with .507, and Denver a very fair fourth with .687. While that last, game could not alter the fortunes of Denver, It might havo made, with Kansas City and Omaha both losing, Milwaukee the champions, bo that no such olalm could possible arise from tha final game here as at Denver. Thl was the year Omaha heat the In dianapollD American association cham pions. Once more. In 190S, Omaha missed the pennant by the last game. But this Is a different tale. Omaha had the pen nant virtually olnched when It went to Sloux City for the last four gaimie of tho seauon. Buck Franck, then manager, had an altercation with President Rourko which resulted In a general disaffection In the team, and, with two or three ex ceptlons, the men proceeded as dellbar ately as a thing could be done to toss those four games to Sloux City, any one of which. If, won, was sufficient to cln-'h the pennant for Omaha In one other season Omaha missed third place by the last game, being defeated . 5G: .W.ti T.'AB. R.
