As a result both returned with averages o far abov .300 that the score keepers got lost la tho mazes ot figures. Snjra Detroit a Winner. Crawford, white very modest In his claims, predicts that Detroit will have a j successful season this year. He makes no radical announcements, such as hav Jng tho pennant and tho world's series cinched, but ho declare the Tigers will be up and fighting every minute. Ho looka wltli favor upon many ot tho re cruit who have been added to the Detroit roster and believes that they will be of material assistance in playing winning ball, Crawford himself Ja In excellent con dition.

H Is of the opinion that the trip did him no harm because he mado no effort to exert himself oven though sorno ot the base balls he landed on may have thought otherwise. Did No Harm. -Tho playing did no harm," said Craw ford. "It was not as harmful aa playing winter ball on the coast, as many players hava done. Wo did not play nil the time and we did not strain ourselves Jn any way, Tho tension on the nerves caused ly a desperate pennant fight is what does the damage, not mere ploying. And although w$ wore eager to win, we never hurt ourselvea to do so." Bam preparing to have a banner year with Detroit. One of hla ambitions In life Is to compel the Cleveland management to move the right field bleacher back each yar. Kor two years now Cleveland has extended the right field Just becauso Bam so enjoyed slamming the ball Into the bleacher and Bam figures that they t-ujjni to ao it again.

With nearly all cf last season's men In school and with a largo number of new players who have expressed their Intention of trying for the team, there are excellent prospects for turning out a strong nine. A request for a gamo with the Univer sity of South Dakota was received last week for April W or 11 as the South Da kota team Is coming hero on a trip. No action will be taken on the matter until a manager Is elected. Some of tho old men who will be seen in uniform this season are: Dow, J. Selby, churches ot Omaha, Council Bluffs and South Omaha will probably not be held becauso the extra games played hava greatly delayed tho ifloslng ot the Com mercial and Church leagues. The absence of Director Maxwell of tho Young Men's Christian association, who had the tQur- nament In charge, has also tended to de lay matters.

Dave is like a good many other folks, with vague notions of how easy it Is to effect alliances with tbe newspapers. Last week's rolling practically decided the winners In most of the leagues. In tho Omuha league the Wroth'a Cafo team won enough gamas to put them at the head of the list. Tho exciting race In tho Gate City league wna ended Thursday night, when the Mickey Gibsons took first place by defeating their closest com petitors, tho Stora Triumphs. In the Commercial league the Jetter's Old Ago are holding the lead, position with little chance of being knocked off. While the Booster league race Is not de cided, tho Clara Belles have a safe lead and are the probable winners.

This If. tho second high score thl team has piled up, the first being a 3,107 score rolled early In the season. Yousen was tho. best individual roller last week with two totals ot R8 and 638. The announcement ot the Metropolitan tournament created a lot of excite ment in the ranks of the sharks. The event which starts Sunday. March 29, Is open to all and the entry fee Is enough ao that a large cash prlzo fund will be made up. Already several- of the strong teams of the city have entered, or signi fied their Intention of so doing.

BULLHEAD ON SLEEPY HEWITT Dnyft When the Ontlnvr Seiner Found Plenty of Fish, bat thnt Wn Before the Official Seiner Came. Tho commltteo on Black Baas begs leave to report that a couple of vigilant game wardens seized a shipment of game fish from the express companies and promise to prosecute all offenders to the utmost. This, however, has nothing whutever to do with tho fact that Carter lake Is no longer a sourco ot Infinite pleasure for those who love to cast a line Into the water, expecting to be re warded by a real bite from a regular fish. Plenty of water out thero to cast on or Into, but mighty few havo beoa tho fish taken out by means cf Jlno In late years. Tho "long hook," so tho commltteo reports, is the only sure way la get them. from Bullhead. "Bullhead" with another articles on tho topic of decided. The Metz and Luxus are neck and neck for the place, with tho Oorey MoKenzles also having a look-in. The Gate City league will end with a big banquet. At this tlmo gold medals and prizes will bo given out to the win ner. Tho Summer leaguo Is getting a good start. Eleven ot the twelve teams re quired havo lined up. Tho sca&on opens the first week In April. Fanton Is the Individual champion of the Booster league with an average well over the two century mark. Ho has led thla organisation all season. K. Sclplo has the leadership honors of the Omaha league tucked away. This Is two seasons In a row for Kenneth and botja times he averaged 300. Tho Standard OH league will end tho season Monday, March 30, with a ono man tournament and banquet. A series ot jingles will bo rolled for a cash prlzo fund. A now Bet of nlleys would mean the midwest tournament for Omaha in 1915. There Is no doubt but that the officers would bo glad to bring tho big event hero If they were offered a suitable place in which to hold It. The Lithographers' leaguo has gone through a very successful season and present indications are. that they will bo on the runways again next season. The Beea Printing company team has already won the flag with a big lead. That record game rolled by the Brandes Highballs last week presents a pretty plcturo when you look at the box score. Every man was over the C00 mark and every game was over 1,000. Their total ot S.U8 Is high for tho Booster league. Several averages have taken a drop since the disappearance ot the favorite thrce-flnsered ball from tho Morrison ulleys. Hopes wero revived last night when Joo Berger announced that he. was on Its trail und would havo It on the ruck before matiy hours passed. The Old Style Lagers have gone through the season with on aggregation to be reckoned with. While they are not at the top In their league they have always been a hard team to beat and on various oc casions have sent the leaders homo Willi tho sting pt defeat on tholr minds. The Mlrkev Gibsons landed the leader ship honors of tho Gate City -league on Thursday night, when they won two from the Storx Triumphs, their nearest com- fetltors. Tho Gibsons have demonstrated hat they have the best team by going through tho entire season winning con sistently and not going by Jerks and Jumps. Pat Anglcsbcrg announces that tho Metropolitan tournament Is coming along nicely and will come up to expectations. Most ot the Commercial league teams will enter, tnrco or four Omaha league squads and all-star teams from tho Gate Cltv and Metropolitan leagues. The South Omaha .rollers are expected to enter a btrong lineup. The Booster leaguo championship lies between the Clara Belles and lxlaeys, with the former having the best chance. Both teams have six games with each other and the only way the Lelseys can possibly win Is to take nil of these from the Clara Belles who have a flve-jtams lead. The Chris Lycks have made a strong fight, but are now out of the race. "Cookie" Potter, one of Omaha's old time bowling sharks, dropped Into town last week and was seen around his old 'stamping grounds, tho Association alleys, i llo was Immediately signed up by the ! Elks' team and rolled one match with i them. His career In Omaliu bowling ' circles were back In lt0i-. At that time no was up among tne top-notcnera ana considered a hard man to beat.

Chicago 4 12 i San Francisco 0 5 1 Batteries: Jasper and Schalk; Arlett, Standrldge and Schmidt. Two Omaha Players Here for Training Bert Brenner, the pitcher who played tho latter part ot the season with Omaha last year, after his purchaso from tho New Orleans club, has arrived In Omaha ready to don his fighting togs and start spring training promptly on time Mon day morning. Recruit Smith, tho catcher who played with the Le Mars (Iowa) semi-pro. team last year, also arrived this morning. Brenner believes that ho will have tho best year he ever had this year, and announces that ho expects to climb right up the ladder until ho lands with a team which can cop the world's championship. Smith Is a likely youngster, eager to do battle, and even though he has had little ex perience looks as though he might be como a clever catcher. Word Here comes ot his timely Black Bass: OMAHA, March 12. To the Editor ot The Bee: Tho movement to do away with licensed seining at Carter lake is meeting with unanimous support, not the slightest opposition having teen encoun tered by the committee. Whllo some of tho local anglers aro awaiting tho open ing ot tho fishing season next month with traditional optimism, others havo voiced their intention of not paying x dollar for a license until seining has been elmlnated. Rightly or wrongly, they hold the seiner responsible for the dearth of gamo fish, reaching, this conclusion through the elimination process Sleepy Hewitt, his outlaw predecessor, having ended his earthly pilgrimage a year ago. It was the Irony of fato that Sleepy'a demise should have been hastened by tho "long weodless." A dozen years ago, with two Intrepid cronies, equipped with a ninety-foot net and armed to tho guards, Sleepy seined at his own sweet will, with none daring to Intervene. The warden, Frank Brown, broko the monot- onv nf till! wntf-lifiil wnlttnf- nrtllf-v nnr.v I and only once, to havo a run. In with tho-i trio, and mot his Waterloo. To got 'the story of that battle, Just Interview "Says I" at tho Bud. U'g worth going miles to hear It retold. Sleepy' Methods. Sleepy often boasted that In those day Carter lake was so crowded with fist that many a time he took out 25 worth, mostly bass, in a slnglo haul. Then he would go capering for a week in cab arets on Locust street, sleep a .fortnight and be ready for anothor drag. Ajb you perceive, Sleepy was not much of a porker and his limited activities In n3 wlso marred the sport of the law-abiding anglers. This was tho regular routine with him until one winter day, when tho lake was frozen over and tho not had been tossed Into the discard, Sletpy wh3 caught In the meshes of tho law on tho preposterous charge of having engineered a raid on a box car loaded with silver bullion. ' When ho returned, to his old haunts a couple of years ago, after his enforced stay In Lincoln, he secured a new ninety-footer and with two recruits prepared to resume the oven tenor of hU way. But times had. changed. Under ths maglo of legalized seining the fish had vanished In the air. Sleepy and his two assistants waded tho shallow flats of tho lake nightly and hauled out gobs of fish, out, alas, none were of marketable size. Ho soon gave up the unequal struggle and wended his way over Locust street hill to the poor house, where he died of a broken heart, ' Hope springs eternal In tho angler's breast Chef Tobln, sad and desperate, will struggle on another season. The chef has ordered a new outfit. BULLHEAD. UNIVERSITY OF OMAHA LOSES TO HASTINGS FIVE HASTINGS, Neb., March ?4 Special Telegram.)
