NEW COACH OF THE BELLEVUE
FOOT BALL SdUAD.
YOU can now take your choice for
the world' series. Team that
looked like winner weeks airo
have come througn, made god
on promise, and won the cham
pionship In the National and , Amer
ican league, and are now getting
ready to divide the itU , receipt
of the biff show, while lett ing be
tween themaelve the premiership o(
tha fame. Each h.aa it follower, and
each aide present much to support Us
contention. All the dope favor Boston.
Boston has a batting a vera re for the
season of .303; Philadelphia' I .247.- Bos
ton's fielding average is .965, and Phila
delphia' 1 , .968. Philadelphia ha one
pitcher who has won 70 per cent of hi
gamea. Boaton has five. Philadelphia's
pitcher during: the season av ISO bases
on balls and were hit for 1,228 safeties;
Boston's pitchers walked ; 430 men and
were hit safely tl44 times. The Phila
delphia pitcher atruck out 663 of their
opponents, and the Boston sharpshooters
set down 610 via the whiff route. Orovor
Cleveland Alexander hung up a total of
strike-outs In the 378 innings be pitched
of 238, almost .one to the Inning, while
he was hit safely but 262 tiroo. so that his
strike-ost almost equal the number of
hits secured from hi delivery. He will
be the mainstay for the Moran men In
the coming conflicts. "tfmoky Joe"
Wood, now said to be in his best form,
will be the man relied on to offset Alex
ander's prowess. Philadelphia has no
pitcher to compare with Shore, Foster,
Kuth or Leonard, who come in a group
right behind Wood, all with 70 per cent
- or more of victories back of them. Thta
: fflves tha TojM ' flox hu' ftr the better
' of the-. dope on pitchers, and therefore
1 great advantage, for It la on the bitching
; game, Boston also has quite a shade In
batting ability, and as gOeM as even In
. me rieia. bo, on paper, it iooks very
much Ilk Boston. '

the doDesters didn't see the Braves at all
; last year. All the statistics were in fa
' vor of the Athletics, and it was only odds
- that got any support for the . Boston
' Nationals In the betting. And a more
' same thing may happen ejrrjln. They
' called Stalllngs the "mlraclewVnan," be
cause he took a team apparently hope
lessly last In it league,' and drove It
straight through all opposition to base
. ball's highest honors. Now they are
" calling Pat Moran the "Junk man," be
cause he took a bunch of ca Btoffa and
apparent misfits, and made It Into a
smooth-working scoring machine, headed
by a pitcher of the first water, and
carried It through the toughest fight the
National league has ever seen, to a
chanoe at the big prise. While Bill Car
rtgan will be greatly praised for bring
ing back the Red Sox,' hi win of the
world' championship will not be any
where near as popular -as will Pat
'. Moran'. And Moran has a' chance
v win.
'. Only Ave .800 bitters left In the Na
.' Uoaal league, and hardly more than that
number In the American. The last few
days, have surely seen great doings for
we pitoner or tne Dig leagues, uven
Ram O-awford ha slipped down below
v th notch. This will be the subject for a
'- great deal of discussion during the win
ter, and may .engender a lot of talk of
legislation. The twlrlers are getting too
much the better of the situation, but
, maybe th fielders have something to do
'J with the hitting slump.
Enough champion wrestlers are float-
Ing around the country Just now to make
"a fairly good slued army. Most of them
; have an eye on Omaha, too, but Just
what they see out here Isn't plain. The
last few trips the wise ones have imVde
to this village have added much to the
., i prosperity of the farmers up around
Dodge.
' Nothing was heard from T. O'Neill, late
president of the Western 'league, during
the week, except that he declined to act
. for tha National league in the Chicago
' tnter-clty contest, because he 1 a friend !
to both team owner. Which makes one
wonder what he would have done If he
had been friend to one only.
The Luxus and the Drexels put Omaha
on the- map so far as amateur ball is
' . concerned. And the Luxus team has an
, even break at the championship lime,
which Isn't half bad. It shows the quality

First Among Tennis
Players of Country
NEW 'YORK, Oct. 8. In making the
national tennis ranking this season It ta
possible the committee will be guided
largely by the work of the player In the
all-comers' tournament. Therefore, If a
man did not compete for the national
title. It Is difficult to see how he can
win a high place.
It has been suggested that a possible
arrangement of the first ten would be
as follows:
First, W. M. Johnston; second, M. EL
McLaughlin; third, R. N. Williams;
fourth. K. H. Behr; fifth. T. R. Pell:
sixth, W. M. Washburn: seventh, F. B.

the Callforulans, R. K Murray, John

T. C. Bundy, were all mentioned as pos-

FLESTY OF TASKS THIS YEAR
By FRANK qMGLKY.
Now that the majority of horsehlde
warriors have put their paraphernalia In
storage for approximately six months,
the leather egg manipulators will enter
tain those athletically Inclined for a
couple of months. From all Indications
the prospects are exceedingly bright for
a prosperous season. According to the
dope there will be more teams In the
field than ever this yea and th fight
for Class A honors will crests more Inter
eat than usually manifested. The park
proposition is well taken care of because
all the municipal parks can be utilised
besides four enclosed parks, namely,
Rourke park, Luxus park. County Fair
grounds and Athletlo park.
The different managers will do all In
their power to make harmony reign su
preme and If they are careful picking
their players they will not havs much
trouble. Only a couple of flatlo encount
er were Indulged In last season and If
nothing more serious happens this term
everybody Interested will be satisfied.
Several practice game are on the bill
of fare for th local contingent today
and they will be pulled off regardless of
climatic condition. They will be con
sidered practice events and the regular
season will open with all the pomp and
splendor necessary for such an auspicious
occasion on next Sunday.
FoBtenelles Are) Confident.
Out on the turf at the Douglas County t
Fair grounds the Fontenelle and the
Monmouth Parks will clash In their Ini- j
tial argument for supremacy at about J
three bell. Last season when these two
squad booked up th Monmouth Parks,
after a hard fight, walked away with
a small margin to th good, but this
season the Fontenelle say they are going
to twist thing around.
Up at Bcrlbner, Neb., the Miller Parks, j
led by the Irrepressible Orant Golden, !
will do their darndest to trim the foot
balllsts stationed there. For several
weeks the village gents have been prac
ticing, so they ought to be In the pink of
condition for today's battle. '. .
The Athletlo Reserves will hereafter be
known as the Athletics because the 'old
Athletics have abandoned the field. The
Athletics have mustered together a
strong galaxy of stars and under the
tutorship of Frank Greene they should
make all class B leather egg handlers
turn on all the available steam.
The Athletic and the Fontenelle Re
serves will take a whack at each other
at Fontenelle park this afternoon.
