THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAY 17, 1914,

Judgments
IT IS quite apparent and agreed
among sport writers that the Mexi
can war Is having a depressing ef
fort upon base. boll. The average
newspaper reader finds time for
little, more theso days, than war news.
What has that to do with the game?
Everything. Take newspaper publicity
out of It and base ball, grand and great
a. gamo It is, would almost go begging.
It Is rightly recalled that the Spanish
American war had a similar effect on"
base, ball and that now there Is the Fed
era), the third major leauo, to add to the
diversification of Interests. Tou won't
talk long with the average big league fan
theso days without discovering this, that
his favoritism as to teams or leagues is
much less marked and fixed this year
than formerly. Ho is trying to take in
the whole situation and naturally finds It
difficult at first glance. Soma of his old
favorites nro heroes on the new diamond,
others have shifted their base from Amer
ican to National and vice versa, and from
one team to another in both leagues until
he finds himself up against tho condition
of reconstructing his system of devotion
and favoritism from tho ground up. Tho
West Side, Chicago, is as notable a case
as any In hand, but not the only one.
Thero you find almost none of the old
Cub Bplrit In the followers of the gome.
The void Is reflected very painfully to
the management in the attendances. The
team. Itself must feel it, or something
quite as disconcerting, for It is having A
tough time keeping out of the cellar.
Soma of the close-hand students of the
general situation are predicting deficits
for some majors tills year unless things
chango soin'. That might happen, how
oer,y without breaking those who lose,
Tor it has been a good while since some
of them lost. It Is not entirely the effect
of tho war, either in Mexico or the base
ball world, that is being felt, except so
far as the latter Is concerned; that It is
the harvest of the whirlwind that was
sown in the wind these last few years.
Certain consequences follow certain
causes in base ball as elsewhere, grand
opera, for liistan.ee.
Flvo consecutive wins Just after ac
quiring a llttlo new pitching strength,
ought to- make plain enough what the
need of tho Omaha team has been. The
team's fielding has been fast all season
and hitting not so. bad; but until tho
last week it could not do much wlnnlcg.
Then came the new pitchers and it won,
that, too, despite a crippled infield and
outfield. Schlpke and Thomason havo

Tho season is young,, but Hank. O'-Day.
has already gone tho way of othor Cub
bosses several times, according to tho
dope. It -was given out that Henry would
ehoot the chutes May IE, when Roger
Bresnahon would take the reins. May
15 has come and gone and O'Day Is still
on the Job. So far as we know, there Is
no definite date-.or planfor his going.
It may all be mere war talk. There is
Iluerta, for Instance; they told, us he was
going -a' long time ago and ho is still
there, albeit on the last inch of the
declivity, as near as our glass shows him.
It doesn't seem to a rank outsider that
the failure of the Cuba to get on their
ftet is entirely the fault of the manager.
Borne of It seems due to. the lack of class
in tho team, and the general disorganisa
tion following the displacement- of. the
former regime. And yet, no one would
be surprised if at any time Bresnahan did
supplant O'Day, for when a team is losing
that has been winning in previous yearn
like the Cubs under Chance, almost any
thing may be expected.
The Nebraska State league nas Btartrd
rather well. Kearney Is late In getting
on its fect, but undoubtedly will coma
along in time. It has this to Its com-'
fort, that most of the leaders In the
majors were late also this year In getting
away from the post. At this writtn? the
state race Is so even as to 'show three
teams-Hastings, Superior ' and Tork
tied for first place: Columbus. Grand
Island and Beatrice for second. Tlmt Is
going some.
If there Is anything in names. Man
ager Chance should have It in his pitch
ers, three of whom start off with Bay
Bay Caldwell. Bay Fisher and Bay
Keating. Fisher, McHale, Cole and
Schultr aro coming along. They came
so as to make life a burden for the bat
tling Athletics and Red Sox and Sen
ators, although they did not do si well
against the Tigers.
Pa says the kiddles may make all the
noise they want at the park Friday, when
afi the school children of Omaha wIM
be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bourko.
Perhaps some of the youngsters will be
taking their first view .of the great
American game.
The crusade of the legitimate fishermen
against tho selnors at Carter lake seems
to be bearing fruit. Judging from some
of tho oatches which have been made
there lately.
Yesterday the firet of the regularly
scheduled matches of the golfers wai
played on the local links, but from now
on they will try to keep In the limelight.
With Omaha keeping up its gait of hit
ting second and fielding second In the
league It should not bo long before a

Track and field events are now dlvld-

Most fans can now understand tho patience
Frank Chance ha8 shown In regard to "Slim"
Caldwell, tho pitching sensation of tho season.
Down south this spring "Slim" broko training
a couplo of times. Tho first offense brought
a $50 fine, and tho next time, when ho forgot
to show up at the hotel in Houston until the
weo, small hours of the morning, Chance was
thero waiting for him.
Cbanco invited him into his room and evi
dently had qulto a heart-to-heart talk with him,
for ever since he has been pitching the brand
of ball oxcolled by none. His first three starts
havo been shutouts, and he allowed only throe
hits to a game, or nine hits in twenty-flvo in
nings. These were against the supposedly
strongest clubs in the. league Athletics, Bos
ton and Washington.
Which all goes to prove another boost for
the water wagon; besides, he has an excellent
chance of equaling Johnson's rocord of flfty-slx
consecutlvo innings without a run, made last
year.
With 600 sheep grazing .over tle links
of the Country club the golfers will be
kept busy yelling "Fore."

From appearances It seems as though
the City league is. as strong as the rook

"caught tho mist-up fever and when they
went to tho wall, it didn't even ruffle
the feelings of the City leaguers. All
they did was to congregate and select
a couple of other teams by vote from
the numerous applicants on their file.

Tomorrow night the directors of the
Omaha Amateur association will hold
a. meeting at the City Hall to study over
several Important matters. It Is the In
tention of tho directors to hold a field
meet towards the expiration of the sea
son and to get out a local guide book,
which will bo something .similar to
Spalding's guide on a. smaller scale. The
different team leaders will be Instructed
to get pictures of their teams and turn
them over for said guide book. These
pictures will also be used for the big
guide book which is made up by the
National association each year.
Isaacson Orders Guides.
President Isaacson, of the local associ
ation has written for a bunch of thn
guide books they published this year
and they will bo distributed among the
local magnates aa soon as they sail In.
At a meeting of the directors last week,
they unanimously decided to Join tho
susocHatlon. The dues aggregate ten
bucks and each team In the various
leagues has been assessed fifty cents.
Said dough should bo delivered to Secre
tary Blorzies at the earliest possible
moment as this money has to be for
warded in the very immediate future.
Calling your attention again to the
fact that a couple of tho Omaha brigades
trimmed two State league teams last
Bunday, don't you Omaha bugs think
that they are entitled to a wee bit of
praise for their remarkable work. The
Store, who are under the leadership of
Fred Bradford and the A. O. U. W.
team under the management of Prank
Qutgley were the teams that turned
the trick. Those Suds boys brought
home the bacon from Co!umbus after
quarreling ton rounds, while the Work
men gathered the gravy from Norfolk,
by a two to one score. The week be.
fore the Luxus contingent held the
Columbus State league team to a 4 to 3
score. When three of the local aggre
gations can battle with salaried teams
and put up such a nifty brand of base
ball they ought to be entitled to the
support of Omaha base ball Insect.
Several teams that are anxious to be
classed as doss "C" teams will gather
at the City Hall Monday night and en
deavor to organise a league. The kids
that are putting forth their best effort
to perfect a class "C" league say that
they have eight teams already to start
the fireworks.

NHW YORK, May 16.-That the Fed
eral leaguo might ruin tho Class AA
In I nor leagues was admitted yesterday by
a club owner who Is heavily Interested
both In a big minor nnd In ono of the
major circuits. Both tho National and
American leagues, he otalms, aro too well
fortified for some years to como to bo
brought to their knees before the Inde
pendents can win at cutthroat game.
"Organised base ball." said he, "will ,
make a grout mistake It It does not stand
together in this fight and settlo the Is- '
sue at onco for all time. A compromise 1
would, only spell trouble each succeeding"
yenr. And in Justice to tho Class AA
leagues there should be no compromise
even It It were possible, which I wllf
show H Is not.
"How nre tho major leagues protected'
Well, they havo all tho men that amount
to anything tied up for from threo to
five years. Those players aro under colt-
traots, from which tho nllcgod inequitable ,
ten-day olausos have been eliminated
Some of the major league men have
signed for one year only, but In cacn
case tho club holds an option for renewal
for a fixed nr.l definite figure. Tho
Chief Johnson oaso will establish, sure
as day, the validity of our new form of
major leaguo contract. And it will stop
Indefinitely any molestation of -National
or American leaguo players.
JVot So Fortunntr.
"Now, as to chms A A leagues, they
are not so fortunate in contract rights.'
Their forms of documents nro neither so '
specific nor up-to-dato as tho majors'.
It is for this reason, perhaps, that tho' 7
national commission has not tolerated t
any court proceedings against the nilnoi
leaguo contract Jumpers. The Federal,
league cannot hurt tho old .r.d estab
lished National und American leagues,
because they have not tho same hlgh-
claes performors, But thay can lnjuro

how in the world could five leagues oper
