He came into Roughtown on the Spasmodic & erky railroad. He took an awful eatina from the Spasmodic & Jerky roadbed. This was the finest dynamite ballasted roadbed in tne world. Each car on the Jerkv only had two wheels on it. And both those wheels were on the same side. The passengers used to wear one roller skate while riding on the Jerky. They used to hang that boot out of the Tug-and-Pullman palace cars and skate along on one-side. Only One Rail. The Jerky was the famous road that ,was so rough they could only serve scrambled eggs in the dining car. They used to " step out and put mustard plasters on the engine to make it jump across the draw bridges. There was onlv one rail the entire length of the track.

The road had no regular route. The tracks had to follow the train. Sometimes the junk caravan would stop inside the ticket offices of sta tions. Sometimes the engineer would stop in towns. Sometimes he would stop in the suburbs and let the town grow up around him. A strange thins: about this road was that it was all uphill. Lots of railroads under govern ment ownership were uphill one way. But the Spasmodic and Jerky was uphill both ways. Scientists like Darwin, Huxley, Ed Curley, Mme. Curie. Mike Donaldson and Havelock Ellis have sprained their brains on this curious and isolated problem. The S. & J. was uphill both coming and going. That was all there was to it. Rough Roadbed. Even Edgar Lucien Larkin, who knows twice as .much as is neces sary, admitted that his science was helpless on the Spasmodic' & Jerky. This was the road that Fall River Hop picked out as his first Rough town opponent. The roadbed was so rough that the fireman couldn't keep the coal in the furnace. He used to hold it in with his bare hands. The commutation tickets were made of sheet iron. The conductor's punch was a riveting machine. The berths had zoo bars on 'em. The en gineer used to stop at every house on the route, lean out and kiss some body goodby. Every trio was liable to be the one after his last. . An ant got on the track five miles on the wrong side of Roughtown. The engineer threw off the emer gency brake and the train folded up like a magician's flower pot.

Coleman claims th,e light heavy weight championship of the south west. According to reports from Oklahoma City, Coleman is a fast, clever wrestler and one that is sure to give McGill a tough tussle. Promoter Bob Whitaker of Te kamah, who is staging the bout, expects one of the largest crowd of fans that has ever attended a match in the western part of the state. The winner of the bout will leave the ring with 500 slugs in his jeans as there is a $500 side bet on the outcome of the wrestle. Jack McGill, "Pat's" brother, tackles Frank Farr of Decateur. Neb., in a finish match for a $300 wager at Tekamah on the night of Friday, April 29. Billiards is enjoying one of the greatest years in the history of the green-cloth game. All the top notchers of the cue world seem to be playing in record-breaking form. The .Mid-West pocket billiard tournament being staged at the De Luxe parlors and the state three cushion tourney at the Academy parlors, have helped the game in this state wonderfully. The "Un der the Sun" parlors deserves credit for bringing to Omaha such stars as Willie Hoppe, Jake Schacf er and Welker Cochran. Ernie Holmes exhibited Woods and Franklin. Manager Shepard at the De Luxe has listed among his en tries in the Mid-West tourna ment W. L. Blankenship of Philadelphia, former national champion, and Aruthur Woods of Minneapolis, runner-up in this season's championship event. Both players have displayed won derful form in their contests this week. The latter in his first game put up cne of the greatest uphill fights e,ver seen in this section of the country. Billy Owens of this city was leading 100 to 11 at the end of; the -third inning, when the Minneapolis entry chalked np o balls and then played safe. Owens was unable to score and the result was that Woods filed out on his next inning, winning, 12S to 98. Other players entered are Clay ton Byers, Denver. Pacific coast champion: Citto (Slim) Harris, Kansas City, and F. B. Riley, Omaha. . It is such contests and tourna ments as these now being staged in Omaha that will help to put the game of billiards where it be longson a par with other popular sports of the country. Ban Johnson, president of the American league, has declared that certain owners of major league clubs have not been true to form and must be driven from base ball. ' If several of the present club owners were out of the national game for good, we believe there would be less trouble among players. Club owners who have in terests in minor league teams and who fail to keep their word with the players are the ones who are causing the trouble in the national game today. Few fans remember that it was Ban who saved base ball when he came into the spotlight in 1900, at a time when ruffianism, rowdyism and fist fights prevailed on the fields of play. Johnson's motto was "Clean base ball at all costs,'' and he succeeded in weeding out the "rough" players. Gothenburg Woman's Club Names Oficers for Year Gothenburg, Neb., " April 1. (Special.)
