Milwaukee plays at Sioux City this aftor- noon. Twitchnell will be in the box this after- noon It looks as if Toad Ramsey is already booked for release. Lon Knight will umpire the opening game bere next Thursday. Shannon made the first run of the season wnd Twitchell the first hit. Lincoln put it ail over Sioux City in their first moeting last Wednesday. Van Dyke is fairly skimming over the lines for the Huskers ana Sheibeck is playiug finely.

Why “Old Cy" has been trampiug down the gwnbo behind the plate out here for three weeks back. Jimmy Canavan is showitg up well for the Cinginnati association team, and so is Cley land for Columbus. In the first game at St. YLouls the other day Eimer made three b antl accepted eight chances without an error.

Juck, Crooks got up out of asick bed to take part in the opening mnmmnnsmr gamo between Columbus and Louisville st ‘Wednesday, and still Columbus couldu’t win. Jack has been installed in his 0ld posi- tion as captain of the Buckeye team. Elmer Smith says he is confident that Kan- sas City will again win the pennant, but Elmer has probably overlooked the Jittle mat- ter of umpires. At the close ot last seasoa u game on the Kansas City grounds was a lead pipe cinch, and the umpires furnished tho pipe. Milwaukee makes a great roar over Von der Ahe's steal of Hoodlum Griftith, and yet, they denounce him as ashirker and say he built up his reputation last season off of such weak teams as Omaha, Lincoln and St. Paul. O consistency, thou art a veritable jewelry store, sure! Columbus has snared Phil Knell. ,The Buckeyo capital seems to have o hanker after Omala talent. She also has Jack Crooks, Elmer Cleveland und Jack Sneed. ‘Well, as fast as we get through with them this eastern village is welcome to them, Jack Crooks jumped outof asick bed to commence the championship season of 60 and he will have the same tough experience this fi:‘nr.

Bauswine, the alleged umpire, stole them both, but it'cost him his position. The Philadelphia Times says that the teties have released Van Dyke and Sioux City can keep him, The Times is too kind, the Corn Huskers intended to keep the young man releaso or o rolease, All the American associution’s guff about respeeting players un- der contract counts for naught in these days.

John Patterson ma; third base by the Neb would make no mistako us he is a comer. Sam Keyes, Blair's star third baseman, suddenly left town last week owing numer’ ous small bills. Pitcher Wellbaum' also de- parted with him. Williams, the Crane company pitchor, would strengthen some minor league team. His last season’s work with Chadren and later with the Crane company team was of the best. The Models of Council Bluffs will have one of the nicest and complete uniforms of any amateur team. They consist of dark blue pants and shirt and_white stockings. They arb regular “butes.” Jerry Mahoney 1s the king-pin of third basemen in Omaha. a splendid thrower, quick and o great sticker. He is plenty good enough for a minor league team, but he does not wish to enter tho professional ranks. Harry Bowles will surely cover left field for the West Omahas, and you bet he is a corkor, He is also a first-class backstop und the only man the Crane company’s team ever had that could catch Williams successfully. Wa would like to recommend Catcher Frank Maupin to a team. needing a_catcher, Maupin played last season with the Lincoln Giants and Kansas City “Haverleys.” He is a fine backstop, good hitter and a speedy base runner and was the most popular man on the Lincoln team.

This was a contest in which the seconds moulded the re- sult; forif the Omaha man had been prop- y coached during and after the fourth rouna the result would undoubtpdly have been just the reverse. That the high opinion of Davis as a fighter is sharad by hundre in this city is shown by an interview witlt a leading light of the Califoruia club a few days after his fight, when Davis’ name was suggested as o contestant for the January meeting. Said he: “Tbis man Davis is & dangerous man-~too dangerous for us to book attois time. He wastes very littie tine in fiddling or fancy work, but commences busi- ness at the cali and keeps it up to the end.

Maxim, an Englishman,- The working of this gun is an enigma to one who never sawit in_action, and we fear that it will be but an imperfect idea of 1ts work- ings that we will be able to convey within our limited space. First, every round, after the initial discharge, 1s exploded by the recoil of tho ono provious. Tho cattridges used uro carried ina beit of any length to suit the size of the gun; or, whei this is not taken into consideration, to suit the whim of the opera- tor. Ove end of this cartridge belt is placed into the wachinery of the gun,which is “side- geur.”” When the gun¥s set iu operation,and after the first recoil,the cartridges ave picked out of the beit by the automatic action of the gun itself; the belt and empty shells bemng ejected after firing. Every recoil of the gun brings the vext cartridge into position, forces it into the barrel, pulls back the hymmer and touches the trigger in a truly human-like manuer; all with wonderful rapidity. High- grade Maxim guns bave veen known to fire over six hundred shots per minute. The gun may be turned in any direction by means of a crank.
