Be ginning: February, a systematic campaign will be inaugurated to ehoer him of his ermine. Three are tha claims upon which a speed empire Is based, the mile straight away, the mile speedway, and the mile dirt trade championship. Already one of these has vanished. Barney Olddeld, Uurman's ancient rival, took away from him tha dirt track title at Bakersfteld, Cat., In his front-drive Christies this fall, after many arguments as to tha accuracy of the timing devise. The next mark to go will probably bo the straightaway. Moross plans to send otther De Palm a or Earl Cooper against Durman'fl 143-mlle-an-hour Daytona aver age this winter, Using both the same car, the Blltxen-Bcnx, and the same scenario, Ormond beach. He has In reserve an other Bens, however, fondly termed Jumbo, to fall back on If Jthe jllltxen doa not doUver. Tho Jumbo does not knbw Its etrenirth, never having been tried out.

During former seasons a great deal of discontent arose among the teams, because of not bavins- renilnr officials, but It la hoped to overcome this. Games arc to be played two to three times each week, Saturday it Is planned to have two contests. No admission Is to be charged to any of the contests. Basket Ball Gossip. Bitchle apDeared for the first iim thin season, playing with tho Pirates against UVIIQYUQ. Those Quaokenbush brothers of Belle vuw oertalnly play the game. It a all Quackenbush with Bellevue. Grow, the rod headed forward of the Omaha National bank played a fine game against the High school last Tuesday. Noland and Hutchinson of the Ne braska Telephone company seem to make things hum. when they got In tho game. Has cull, of the McGee & Deemers, Is about the shortest player In the league. However, he mokes up for It In weight There Is not a game that Dutch Plats does not star In. The way he guarded his man In the game agaliut the Omaha National bank team certainly was great. Manager Ludwlg of The Bee Publishing company team, announce that he haa bolstered up his team slneo last week, Parish of, the University of Omaha of Omaha and Olson hae jotmxl his team.. Nearly all the atns have new suits this season. They vary fsom yellow to white trimmed In green. There seems to be small chance, of the players getting mixed up In a scramble. Tho McUee & Dec mere expect new suits some tlmo this week. t Burkenroad, of the Pirates, certainly gets In the game every minute of the time. Let him have a shot at the goal and you may be assured that tho score keeper can mark up two points for his side. Linn of the Pirates also U ac curate at shooting goals. Hughes, of the Omaha Itlgh school team, hurt his kneo In the Omaha Na tional bank game. Hughes had' his knee hurt during; the foot ball season and the Injuring of it again may force him to quit the game for the season.

Chance's Ivory huntet Irwin, who took a fancy to Johnson, Is authority for the statement that Johnson will make good with the Yankees and will Just fit In the hole behind the bat Johnson's chief competitor will be Qoasett the old Bt Joseph backstop, and Omaha fans believe that Johnson will prove to be a beter man that Qosaett Johnson batted .S10 with Omaha last season and batter over JSO0 the year be fore. When he came to Omaha from the Three I league ha had earned a reputa tion for smashing fences. Last season he mado o record for putouts by a catcher. In 1J7 games ho secured credit for 721 putouts.

Although the iwintry blasts of father (Boreas have Just struck Omaha with real Intent and Pa Rourke ts still bliss fully sitting before a grate fire with his head chock full of thoughts, but with never an utterance, the stove league of Omaha fans is on In full force and already eight teams have won and lost the 1914 pennant Every real fan, -whether he to the p round possessor of a charter membership or Is merely a recent ac quisition to the celebrated winter league, has furnished his share cf tha cobs to make the fire bum and Is busily doping out next year's race with hts feltow-fans. Despite the fact that Joseph Tinker, Governor Toner, Charlie Bbbota, the Fed eral league and their activities have been occupying considerable space in the sporting columns for the last few days, the choleat morsel cf conversation Is Omaha and prospects for next season. Not even most dled-!n-the-work fan In the city Is acquainted with Pa'n plans, because Pa never haa been noted for loquacity and thla year he has been espe cially reticent There Is no doubt but what the owner of the Omaha team.

Bo the best the fans can do is to deduce and induce from various rumors and from various actions of the slippery Fa, In order to get material tor tha dope sheet Dope Sheet looks Goofl. The dope sheet, however, even though It be very Incomplete, Is a rest for sore eyes. It Omaha doesn't have a winning team next year It will be because the official weather prognostlcator catches a grouoh and turns on tha bad weather faucet, when ever Omaha Is at home and In the midst of a winning streaky Rourke has accumulated a few players, ail of them youngsters of promise, and with his old standbya, ha haa tha nucleus of a team that should be a ' serious con tender for tha cherished emblem. Rourke has secured six new playera, or at least he has announced six new play era, although he may have a, few more up his sleeve ready to spring In the near future. He has secured two new pitchers, whloh haa filled ths fana with Joy, because It takes pitchers to make a winning team and -Omaha was a little shy on winning pitchers last year. Ormsby, a tall, right-hander, combs from Green Bay, of the Wisconsin league, and Brady, a port-side fllnger, comes from Oshkosh, of the same league. Ormsby comes with quite a reputation. He was a winner In Wisconsin and, as he la a youngster with a future before him, there la little doubt, but what a good, manager will be able to work him Into major league calibre. Brady Haa Everything. Brady, the southpaw from Oshkosh, Is a little better advertised, because a few Omaha fans have seen him in action. He Is described by those who saw him as a pitcher with everything from a variety of curves to straight balls and a floater, all of which he mixes up In th eapproved style pf a good pitcher. . Rourke haa purchases' three Is field era. Chase, a first baseman from Spokane; Thomas, a shortstop from Qren Bay, and ICrug, who has played most all Infield and outfield positions, from the Boston Americans. Krug, of course, locks the best of the trio. He coet Pa a wad of coin, and when Pa spends money he doesn't spend it for nothing. Krug will probably play at second base or third base. Last year Krug played with Indian apolis and he played excellent ball, show ing that he Is a consistent hitter, a clever fielder, a speedy base runner, and. above all, a heady player. He should be a tower of strength to the Infield. The sixth acquisition Is an outfielder by ths name of Bell from Superior, Wis. H comes with a good record, and, al though not a sensation, he ts recognized as a comer -who will push rapidly to the fore under good tutoring. Pa 111 penis ou for Other Players. Pa says he has several deals on for new playera. but he refuses to divulge their names Vt present, because nothing definite has been decided, and It might ba possible that he would change his mind If better opportunities presented themselves. A pitcher, or perhaps two, will be added, and a catcher and another Inflelder must ba secured to complete the roster. Pa still has the old boys who wore the Pa still haa the old boys who wore the uniform last year, but "any one of them Is In ths markst for trade If ths trade looks good to Pa. ' Thorn ason, Coyle, Payne, Sohlpke, Kane, Justice, nicks, Robinson, Schlltser, Closaman, Brenner, Bhestak and the others are still en Pa's Hit and ready to fight for positions oa the team when spring breaks. The hard est Job to fill will be that of catcher, as Johnson, who so nobly swatted -the ball and caught the baffling curves last sea Son, will be fighting for a place on Frank Chance's New York American league team. Pa is dickering for a catcher and if ho gets him Pa says worry not about the backstopplng even though Johnson will not bo here. . s Contracts will bo mailed to the men sometime after the first of January and when the contracts commence to he sent thn Pa will announce all hts new play ers. The players will start to report the last part of February preparatory to tho trip to the southland for the spring training. Fans to Sen Wagner nnd Jackson. Omaha fans will be given a rare treat next spring before the season opens. Rourke has booked exhibition games with Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis and Bt Paul, to be played here In Omaha, Honus Wasper, Joe Jackson, Konetchy and other of the major league stars, who play with the Naps and the Pirates, will bo here and will be seen In action on the Omaha lot Pa will probably book a few other exhibition gamca with other teams so that more of the famous stars will be seen here. Many Improvements are to be made at the park. A new club house Is to bo built for the Omaha players, while the visiting clubs will use the old club house and therefore will jnot be subjected to the Inconvenience of a ride to and from the hotel and park In the almost his toric careler van. The offices will also be enlarged, some new fencing Installed and tha press box, which will be .a min iature of the Poo ground's press box, will be erected on top of the grandstand. The grounds will be r'egraded and lev eled and new sod laid. After all the im provements it will be one of the classiest parks In the west and the diamond Itself will be almost as perfect as tho con summate skill of graders will allow.
