It Is unhuHincKHlIke; it would not be attempted or tolerated tn any other line of commerrial activity. Now, wo are for organlz-i baso ball. We believe it to bo eMr-ntiul to tho pna rutty of tho game. But we believe that it nas been nffeeted by a virus which If not. soon eradicated will consume it. These tli'nga being divulged may not bo dune j in the open; they must be done in the dark. Then they are wrong, ana ought; not to bo permitted. And It seems to us that the best friends end advocates of Organized Base Ball wilt Insist on this, will urge a thorough purging and reform of the business methods and relation That will be the only safe cure. The body with a canker In it ia never cured by try ing to hide the canker, or the fact that it tp there. The Federal and all opponents of Organised Base Bail will lose their grip in proportion as Organized Base Bail remove these grounds for complaint and criticism of itself. As we say, thai thing may not be laughed out of exlst snce. 1 1 Pa Rourke !a dead right. Omaha la en titled to the Fourth of July In the schedule thla year.

There wa very little breathing around where we were eittlng. "Johnson wins," softly spoke Grotte. "My God," moane) out my (at friend and fell limp against me. The rest of the game meant little to me and less to Lane. Evidently It was bore to most of the thousands there gathered, for not a sound, except a few groans, followed Grotte's announcement.

Heretofore eastern Nebraska high schools have en tered the greater portion of the teams, the expense of sending reprettentatives eliminating those at a greater distance from Lincoln. The Cornhusker management has se cured the city auditorium free of charge for the final games in the tournament, thereby saving much expenise.

WILL EXHIBIT AT AUTO SHOW Automobile owners in Omaha and vicin ity are considerably Interested in tho news passed up and down automobile row yeetcrday to the effect that J. A. Mc lntyre has re-entered tho motor oar field after an absence of several months. Co incident with thU news comes the an nouncement tiiut Mclntyre has closed with Th V. It. steal ns company of Cleve land one of the largest contracts that that concern has over signed In Uis middle) west. Mclntyre, it Is known, has been negotiating with the Steams officials for several weeks past, and the contract Just ratified is the result In deciding to re-enter the automobile business, Mclntyre took his own time In. looking over the field, and has exliaus tively invesiigu.ied the product of a num ber of factories. He has felt that because of the larger number of owners and deal ers In this vicinity who purchase cars from him every year, it was his duty to protect them as well as himself. lavretlaatra Ktearns. In the course of his Investigation. Mc lntyre decided to vtslt the Ktrtni fac tory, and learn for himsolf, at first hand, the methods of manufacture, design and construction employed by the Cleveland company, especially tn view of their an nouncement of th "firs rally high grade car at a moderate price." Instead of taking the ordinary "flying trip" to close a contract, Mclnlyre was away th better part of a week. At th Htsams factory lie went exhaustively Into the factory methods, etc, and returned t Omaha, convinced that h had found the car he wanted. Ilonrtrr l.uuLi lalo oadlilons. The Stearns eoile, however, were not content simply to appoint Mclntyre thilr dealer In muhs. and li t go at that. Their idea was to develop lhi luk.lurv. uli a large scale, making Oni.ilia 1 tho head quarters, or clearing house, for an im mense Nebraska-Iowa buslms, with the Mclntyre Automobile company th main spring of such a business. Accordingly, the Mi Jntyre-Stearns deal was not com pleted until yesterday, when all tho de tails were worked out by Mclntyre and H. If. I lower, sales manager of the Ht earns factory, who has been spending considerable time In Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, finding out at first hand the actual trade conditions. Hower finally mads up hla mind that th sales plana worked out by Mclntyre for business In this territory were absolutely sound and practicable, and accordingly the deal was closed snd telegrams sent In to th fac tory ordering the first carloads. Another part of the desl has a particu lar bearing on the Omaha show, for thei Htearns people have agreed not only to j send to this city their New York snd Chicago show exhibits including the spe- ' clal polished cut away chsssls. which ' mad such a hit at New York but also to send here their expert lecturer, whom, during the show, will give hourly lec tures explaining the design and construc tion of the .light Four' Htearns-K nig lit models. Mclntyre Kathaslaatle. Mclntyre himself Is more than enthu siastic about th cats which he '. now handling. "My trip to the Htcms fsctoiy carne far from being my first visit to an automobile plant, for 1 have been in the business for a good many years." ho said yesterday, "but I am perfectly willing to say that I learned more aboyt high grade eutomolsie construction in my visit ther than I tver knew before. 1 had no Idea that 'he heat treatment of steels was so highly developed In automobile construction, nor did I know how exhaustive wero the tests given the various parts of the car. 1 alao found out that the ma"Mne shops of the Htearns fsctory have for th last few years been tho mecca of automobile fac tory managers and superintendents. Rsavtaesa la tfsenibllaa "Uut one of the most Interesting things to me," continued Mr. Mclntyre, ' was the ttnsual care and scrupulous exactness tven the final assembling and tenting of the completed earn. 1 don't believe that anything In the world could be more carefully or painstakingly manufactured than tho Htearns Knight cara I had al ways known, of course, that the t-tearn was a mighty high grille car, for 1 have sold numbers uf those machines myself, and I know what wonderful satisfaction thvy have given my customers. I knew there must be something mighty good in them, but I never knew Just how good they were. It seems to me that if every automobile distributer would carefully in vestigate the methods of manufacture of the car he sells, there would ho a good many surprises. And 1 know whereof I speak, for I have sold various cars, and have beep In the business longer than almost any man in Omaha." I'lannlng Distribution steia. While Mclntyre is not ready at this time to disclose his full plans, it Is known that ho Is alrealy planning upon building a very complete distributing sys tem tn the largo and very prosperous territory which he has secured. Mclntyre has a large following throughout the slate, and Is already preparing to taka care of some of his former dealers, a number of whom have already mudo ap plication to him to give them the Htearns line in their territory, halesmanager Howor, In discussing the large contract just closed with Mclntyre, said that In his opinion th arrangement was a splendid onu from a factory point of view. "We have known Mr. Mclntyie for a good many years," said Hower, "and have the utiuont uoufidtnoe In him. It is very rare Indeed that we allot to any slngl distributor as much territory as w have given him, but w feel that Htearns interests In this section of the counury will be taken care of very ably by Mr. Mclntyre."
