Judgments
THE glmrring records of John
V. Gates and l'itsburli Phil
as lavish spenders oi perfectly
JL good money are scheduled to
sink into the deep well of in
siRniticance if I'harle Wrrghmann,
owner of the C hicago I'ulis keeps
up his present clip. During his
career as a Fed magnate. Weegh
inann made the base hall world
gasp hy his apparent reckless ex
penditures, but his record this
summer bids well to make his for
mer one pale in comparison. W'eegh
niann is another of the traditional
geniuses who has "run a shoestring
into a million." Only it is suspected
W'eeghmann ran his shoestring into
several million. He became a multi
millionaire through the restaurant
business. Now he has entered base
hall. After spending thousands and
thousands of dollars for talent when
a Federal, Weeghniann spent half a
million dollars in purchasing the
Cubs. He had the choice of his old
Fed team and the Cubs. Joe Tin
ker made his player selections from
these two teams, hill the amalgama
ted Cubs failed to deliver the mer
chandise. The ordinary mortal would
have said: "Well. I have done the
best 1 could. 1 have spent a fortune
already." Hut Weeglmiann isn't the
ordinary mortal. He's a gambler
who does not hesitate to take the
longest kind of a chance. When he
learned his team needed strength
ening, he immediately began to comb
the bushes for stars. He put in
bids for every highly-touted bushcr
in the minors. In this way he ob
tained Shortstop Worlman of Kansas
l ity. Outfielder Joe Kelley of Indian
apolis, Pitcher N'irk f arter from the
same team and Catcher Rowdy F.l
liot from Oakland. Wortmau cost
over SJU.OOO in cah and players. Kel
ley cost $15.(100 and Outfielder
willing. Carter cost another $14,000
and Klliot brought another big
chunk. And still Weeghmann is not
content; several more big deals are
pending. The Chicago magnate is
the sensation of base ball and his
utter disregard for money is causing
his brother magnates to lose lots of
valuable slcip trying to figure out
when it all will end.
Like a flash of lightning out of a
hot sky, like falling heir to a for
tune, like the touch of water on a
parched throat, was the news from
St. Joseph Thursday that Lou North
won a game. On July 4 North
wrenched his arm while warming up
for a game. It was a severe wrench.
The arm did not mend readily. And
it was feared Lou North might never
be the pitcher of old. But the ac
counts show North hurled a good
game Thursday. After the third in
ning he allowed but one hit and did
not issue a walk. That means he
whiz?ed the ball over the plate in
his old-time form, with his old-time
speed, his old-time control. And it
makes all Omaha rejoice. For with
North back in the game to take his
turn regularly in the box it means
Omaha stands a much better chance
to hold her lead in the bitter fight
for the pennant. North is easily the
twirling class of the loop or at least
he was before the injury and he will
win a lot of ball games. But Omaha
not only rejoices because North is
such a valuable member of the
Rourke machine. It is not so selfish.
It rejoices for North's sake. Because
Lou stands an excellent chance to
go back up to the majors if he can
keep up the pace he set early in the
year. And if he does go up he stands
a good chance to stick. Here's hop
ing North's come-back at St. Joseph
will be a permanent one.
What has got into the St. Loun
Browns? Following a wretched start
Fielder Jones' men played very bad
ball until the middle of July. The
team was way down in the race and
it seemed as if it were doomed to
stav down. Then suddenly it began
to spurt and up to Saturday had won
fourteen straight games in a row. It
passed the .500 mark and is within
striking distance of the lead. If Jones
can continue to set even a reasonable
pace the rest of the year the Browns
will finish high in the ranks. And
just for a guess the Browns will con
tinue to play real ball. Even before
the season started the Browns had
the earmarks of a ball club. It looked
mighty good on paper. Its lack of
success was an enigma. Nobody
could understand it. But evidently
Jones has succeeded in getting his
men to playing together. And Jones
is a good enough manager to keep
them playing together. And that
means the Browns are going to make
trouble in that nifty little American
league race.
The trade of Frank Schulte to
Pittsburgh by the Chicago Cubs was
something of a surprise despite the
fact that the transfer followed an ad
vertisement that a house-cleaning in
the ranks of the Cubs was about to
occur. Why did Tinker choose to
discard Schulte?' It seems strange.
For Schulte was the sole survivor of
that famous old Cubs machine of a
decade ago and he held a warm spot
in the hearts of Chicago fans. He
was one of the most popular ball play
ers that ever wore a glove. He was
a mighty good box office attraction
in Chicago. And. above all, he was
plaving bang-up ball. He was hitting
over ..100 and fielding like a demon.
In fact, he was one of the few Cubs
playing No. 1 caliber base ball. One
of the coincidences of Schulte's long
career as a Cub was that he made
a home run in his first game in a
Chicago uniform, in 1905, and he also
made a home run on his last day in
a Chicago uniform, a week ago yesterday.
Following his latest rumpus the
other day, Johnny Evers broke loose
with a threat to quit, explaining he
was about disgusted with the way
the National league was being run, or
words to that effect. Johnny objects
to being the goat. Whenever anything
happens F.vers is the chap the big
hoys jump, thinks Johnny. And hes'
about right, at that. For several years
the umpires have camped on the lit
tle spitfires' trail and no more did he
open his mouth than he was chased
to the shower and spotted with a
hefty fine. And then the president
of the league generally came to bat
with a suspension. For a guess F.vers
is being overworked a little. It is
probably very true there are other
ball players in the National league
whose conduct is far worse than
Johnny's. But they merely get chased
from the field or fined, not suspend
ed. Bui if Kvers said "hi o," fifteen
days. It does look a little as if there

RECEIPTS TO ASSOCIATION
By FRANK QUIGLEY.
A double bill which should draw a
packed house is on the menu for the
Ducky Holmes horsehide emporium
this afternoon. Both games are be
ing staged under the auspices of the
Omaha Amateur Base Ball association
and all the receipts will be tossed in
their strongbox.
The first debate, which will be
reeled off promptly at 1 :.!0, will he
between the Trimble Bros, and the
Beddeos. Now both teams are knot
ted for perch one in the Booster
league, so the team that nails the
bacon will be the big noise of said
league. The market dudes, or Trim
bles, will be in the market for coun
ters from the jumpoff and it is a lead
pipe that the Beddeos will not score
their runs on the one down and one
a week plan.
After this debate is buried the Chris
I.ycks and South Omaha Merchants.
who are tied with the Omaha Bicycle
Indians for the top roost in the Amer
ican league, will clash. One or the
other will be eliminated today and the
winner will clash with the Omaha Bi
cycle Indians to decide the champion
ship of the American league. These
two teams are approximately evenly
hooked up, so a game full of thrills
is looked for.
If nothing unforeseen happens
which will make the Corr Flectrics
and McCarthy's Sunnybrooks change
their think tatiks in regard to bump
ing each other today, the champion
ship game of the Southern league will
be peeled off at three and a half
strikes on the municipal lot at Thirty
second street and Dewey avenue. Kn
mity of the sour sort exists between
these two contingents. Although this
fracas is only billed to go four rounds
to decide the championship, they will
probably play nine inning the first
tour to draw the title.
National Body to Meet.
On Tuesday, August IS, the Na
tional Amateur association will hold
their third annual meeting at Indian
apolis, at which a delegate of the
Omaha Amateur Base Ball associa
tion will not decorate the scenery,
hut, instead, a letter from President
Issacson will be read, which will con
stitute the ideas of Omaha.
At the last meeting ot the mag
nates of the Greater Omaha league
Louis Cook, chief cook and bottle
washero of this important cog in the
Omaha Amateur Base Ball associa
tion, turned m his resignation and
Jake Issacson was temporarily ap
pointed to till tne numoer eignis.
All games not played ny tne micny
Holmes contingent were awarded as
forfeits to the different Greater Oma
ha league teams. Holbrook, who has
been the chief custodian of the It'.'
garden for the Mollys, was willing to
perform in the same pasture for the
Bourgeois, but tne league magnates
failed to honor his contract.
Protest Comes Up.
The initial piece of trouble brought
before the directors last Wednesday
was a protested game between the
Chris I.ycks and the J. D. Crews. The
former based their protest on the
fact l hat the Crews had ihe hoodoo
number, thirteen, under contract when
said game was played. Because Chris
l.vrks were trimmed up ny an to
0 score, the directors ordered the
contest 10 stand as p'.aved.
Because the t. orr hlectrics and the
McCarthys' Sunnybrooks were still
arguing as to wnen inev wouhi piay
off the remaining tour innings of an
unfinished game in the Southern
league, which practically decides the
championship of the Southern league,
the directors empowered President
Issacson to book the game. He
booked it for today.
Refused New Men.
Manager Hagemait asked for an
other man, and so did Manager Ilu
batka, but the directors handed both
of them the nothing doing placard.
The South Omaha Merchants pro
duced proof that they needed a sec
ond station agent and the directors
left it to the discretion of the presi
dent of the American league. He
allowed the Merchants a second base
man, a provision being made thai said
player by of Class B caliber. Pres
ident Issacson was given permission
to hire adjudicators lor the struggles
at Ducky llohne.s park today. Wheth
er or not Sullivan of the Armours
will be allowed to participate in the
city championship game will be de
termined later.
Ramblers Out of Luck.
By the flip of a coin it was decided
which two teams would oppose each
other in the three-cornered fight for
the Class A championship. Frank
Micby. Otto Pecha and Louis look
did the gambling. As customary, the
Ramblers lust, so will have to play
the winner of th Greater Omaha
league, and in event they win, they
will have to buck up against the Ar
mours, the champions of the Com
mercial league. The presidents of the
City, American, Metropolitan and
Southern leagues drew to decide how
the elimination games would be
played. As a result, the Murphy Did
Its will play the American league
champions, and the Stags will play
the leaders f the Southern league.
These games will be staged on Sun
day, August ii), probably at Luxus
park.

WEAK ONLY ON PITOHEES
New York, Aug. 5. Although the
I'incinnati Keds have been outdis
tanced by seven uther clubs for tbe
championship of the National league,
the team is already beginning to show
the elfects of Mathewson's leadership.
In recent games there has been snap
and aggressiveness about the Reds'
work, and though they have been
down near the cellar for a long time,
ihe situation Is not so morose and
moody as one would imagine.
"Malty" caught the fancy of his
players at once and has their good
will and respect. They realize he is
ihe one player entitled to the best that
is coming to him. Already the Red
land clan has improved wonderfully,
ami with any kind of luck should
make a commendable showing on
their invasion of the east.
"Matty" is enough of a business
man and student of the pastime to
know that a winner is the only thing
that will succeed in base ball, so he
has set out to convert the crew from
beyond tbe Rhine into a first division
proposition. He believes he has tbe
players with which to accomplish this
improvement, but the club is admit
tedly shy of good box work. "Matty"
realizes this all important department
will have to be bolstered without de
lay if the Reds are to climb.
The greatest pitcher of his time,
there is no doubt that "Matty" will
be able to develop a formidable staff
if the Cincinnati directors will give
him financial aid. Already, it is un
derstood, be has cast out lines for
new pitchers, and with three or four
good boxmen as a foundation, the
staff should be strong enough to pro
duce betler results before the season
is much older. "Matty" is one of the
shrewdest judges of pitching talent in
the game. Anil he lias a kindly, yet
firm manner which will be ideal for
an instructor.
"Matty" believes he has the nucleus
for a championship club. It is under
stood be contemplates a number of
deals that will strengthen the infield
and pitching staff. He is said to be
satisfied with the catching depart
ment, which includes "Tom" Clarke
and "Ivy" Wingo, and the outfield.
I he directors of the Cincinnati club
hae given him a free rein, for they
believe success is reasonably sure
with "Many" at the helm, ami want
to assisl him in every way possible.
Compliments Men.
"We have some mighty tine ball
players with the Reds now," said the
new leader, "and the club ought to
show continuous improvement if ,
get good pitching. The Reds are not
a weak club by any means. Th'v
have had 'breaks' against them, anil
the pitching siaff, although composed
of some splendid pitchers, had trouble
getting into shape for some rrj.nn or
other. I am going to make it a point,
however, to get the hurling corps in
shape, for. as base hall is played to
day, the brum of the burden must be
borne hy the twirlers.
"It was bard to leave the Giant-,
but there was little for me to do for
the club I realized that my pitching
days were nearly at an end and that
ii was about tune for a change I
always wanted to become a manager
and was glad to take advantage of
the iTit-imi.it i opportunity. 1 urged
Mr. Hempstead to send tne to Cincin
nati because I really wanted to try
my hand at managing a chili."

Some New Stuff on

N'ew York, Aupf. 5, Boh Folwell
has a lut of confidence in his ability
to develop a successful foot ball
eleven at Pennsylvania next season.
He hnld the iew that if the team
fails it will he his fault and not the
fault of the material. A manly, if
not a rational, point of view to take.
"My plans for preliminary work are
all completed." he said. "There need
he no curiosity about my training
and coaching s stem it will he exact
ly tin- same as that which 1 used at
Lafayette and Washington and Jef
ferson. It's different from any other
system it's my own. In other words,
I don't believe in overworking my
players, and I shan't do it at Franklin
field. There'll be no moonlight scrim
mages, either. I'll lie master, and I'll
decide how much drudgery is to he
done. It won't he enough to kill the
team.
"There is another important fact
thai 1 wish to emphasize, and it is that
there will he little .secret practice this
season, and the gates will he open
at all times to the undergraduates and
the public. My practices will he
something unique, for 1 guess I am
somewhat of a driver. There will
probably he short games between the
varsity and the scrub daily, but while
the games wilt be played with all the
vigor of a ical matcn, they will he
extremely short."
