PREPARED FOR ACTIVE WORK Omaha's Base Ball Managem:nt Ready for the Coming Season’s Sport. SOMETHING ABOUT THE HOME TEAM Bright Prospects for the Western League— Praise for Charlle Snyder—Ball Notes and Miscollaneous Sporting News, Locsl and General, EXT week the ory of the umpire and the shout of the ball player will be heard o throughout this groat land. On April 12 tho Na- tional league, aug- monted and rojuven- ated, will throw open its gates, and on the. following Saturday the West- ern league, which ranks next to the Natioual, will begin its season under conditions most favorable to success. Indced, base ball throughout the country seems to have taken on a now garb, and never in the history of the game has there been such widespread interest. This 18 especially true of the Western loague, whioh is organized on @ basis pronounced sound with u singular unauimity by base ball oxperts. In every city in the league, not ex- cepting St. Paul, baso ball enthusiasm is at high tide and people everywhere are eagorly looking forward to the opening series of games, for they will determine ina measure the relative strength of the teams. The Omahas play every club in the league excopt the IKansas Citys before going abroad and by the end of the tirst homo series local admirers of the sport will know about what to expect from their represontatives, The distribution of players ans set at sea the wise mon of base ball. Under the old order of things those who were at all familiar with the records and abilities of players could, before & DIl was pitched, size up aceurately the three or four clubs between whom the fight for the champ'onship cen- tered, but under the millennium plan all this is changed. Where is tho man that dare bazard his reputation now by naming three or four leaders in the Westorn association? ‘There is one impradent base ball writer in Chicago and a fow more in the east who have had tne temerity to rato the tean, but a few mouths will show them that they have been treading on uncertain ground. Of course some of them may bit it right, but iv is all mero speculation, and & child who has yet to #00 its first game of base ball bas as muoh chance of picking the pennant as a veteran enthusiast soaked and saturated with base ball records and ptatistics. I Omaha the season will be inaugurated under unusually propitious circumsiances. The wanageinent which has in the past done much to detract from the popularity of the sport is out of the field entirely, and the town has a lot of players just as good as auy of ’em, On paper the team seems to be one of the sfrongest 10 the league, and with & fdir share of that important factor in base ball, luck, it will be in the thickest of the fight. The club has at its head Dave Row: one of the best generals on the ball field, and 11 it does uot come ur to expectations it will be because the stuff Is not in the players and not from & lack of proper coaching. Just Listen to Cush ! “l am eothusiastic over the team,” said ¢, Cushman, with the accent on Lhe mister, “‘Before the drawing, when the make up of each team was exposed iuthe committee rooms, | selected it—that is I coveted the club and boped I would got it. It was num- ber elght on the list and the last one made up. Yot I think it is the best in the league, As an illustration of my opiniorn, I made no objection when I happened to get it, and was besides Toledo, the only manager who did notdoso. There are those in Milwaukee perhaps who, because some of the men are new to them, do mot consider it strong. Those, however, who bave kept track of ball playing throughout the country and are posted on tho men’s records ara aware of the merits of the club. “All one has to do istorun over the records of the players, to soe that we have a much stronger team than we had at this time last year. Why, there is Burroll, who twirled for the St. Louis Browns last season and made the Milwaukees bite the dust on more thau one occasion. He is a left-hander and has splondid control of the ball, besides good speed. Jones pitchod in the New York and Pennsylvania league last year and has the besvaverage of the pitchers. He is a voung man, but possesses terrific speed. Ferson nseds no special introduction, having made a puenomenal record with the Buffalo Brotherhood team, and last year was tho mainstay of the Washington club. The catchers are both good men, Lako is the youngster that Anson tried to secure last season from Boston, but failed. President Conant, of the Boston league club,considers Lake ono of the best backstops in tho country, and predicts that he will lead the Western ieague this season. ‘Old Bil' Krieg will bo re membered iu tbis city for his famous slides to sccond in the season of 18%0. Kriog is also # good wan on fivst base, and had a batting averago last year of .273. Ward played lust season with Minucapolis, but was purchased by the Pittsburg club to covor second base, to is a bustler and a torror to pit His batting average last year was Roat played last seasou with the Lincoln team, and nis playing on third base was a revela- tion 10 Milwaukes patrons of the gamo. ‘Chipplo’ McGarr covered short for Denver last soason, having been purctased from the Boston league club. Ho is a reliable batter and can pick up hot greunders with any of the shortstops. Hawmburg played lofv field for St. Paul iast season. Ho1s a sprinter as well s u good batter. His batling aversge last year was .306 and his fiolding averago 935. “Henry played with the Now York Giants last year and later with the Hartford club of the New England league. He is n heavy batter aud can cover 100 yards in ten seconds, Larry Twitchell hud a batting ay- orage lust year of .280. Ho is a first class fielder, bosides being u crack twirler, How- ard Earl's leng form will cover first base again for Milwaukee, and will no doubt do it in a creditable manner. His batting averago last year was .315." ‘Well, Cush, when you come down here next mouth we'll jam that bat of yours so far down over your oyes vou won't be ablo to look a friend in the face for a month, \We'll PUL & Lag OB YOUr moss agates, besides, What Caylor Says ot Snydor, Charlie Snyder, the veteran catcher ana field oaptain, is likely to develop into the Western association star umpire this ses- son. As I have previously intimated in these columns, Snyder’s only drawback was the company in which he trotted. On this head O, P. Caylor talks instructively, He says: uring the recent league meeting I was at one time the center of attruction of ail eves, a3 they aay in novels. Such looks of burn: ing admiration as was turned on me by the corridor cavaille you never saw before. Everybody believed I bad shattered the best previous record at running high lying in base ball stories, because 1 declar:d 1 knew of a case where & base ball player had re- jected a coutract on the ground that the sal- ary specifiod and writlen thereiu was too large. Ex-President Louls Kramer or ex- Magpate A, 8. Steru are wy wituesses, I'ho player was Charlie Snydor. He had jumped ihe Boston club's reservation and signed with the Cincinnati American association team in the spring of 1852 at & salary of $1,100. Everybody iu Cincionati knows what magnificent work he accomplished that year when the club won the chawpion- ship.” In the fall, wuon the club ot ready to sign players for 1838, Mr. Kramer mace out Suyder’s contract and wrote i it & salavy of $1,800. Of coursed Sovder was pleased, but he surprised everybody by saving: *I thiok, bonestly, that is more than I am wortt. Make it §,700, aud use the other $100 iu helping 10 get & §ood sLroug WAL foa the outfield.” The figures were changed and Snyder played for 31,700. Yet he ha 10 monument, and the leaguo would not ap- poiut him an umpire, Sunyder, however,will be a Western leaguo umpire, and | want to congratulate the clubs of that body on the appointment. He is ono of the very best umpires who ever stood ba- hind a plate, and I except none. He Is con- scientious to a high degree, and no one who kuows him will doubt his honesty. Money couldn’t buy him to decide against his hon- est ronvictions. Presidgent Young of the leaguo knows this and acknowledyed it. Yot Charley has ono habit which looks bad in the league's eyes, and it has kept him out of the leugue appointment; he is a great pool buyer on horse races and frequents pool rooms wheraver he goes. The base ball officials know that the practice would in no wise influence his work as an umpire, but they say @ great part of tho public would not look upon itin the same’ light. For iu- stance, in umpiring a game he may make a costly and vital mistake, ns the best of um- pires will at times do. Somebodv may see him in a ool room the day before oron the morning of tho sume day, and the story goes out al once that he bad bought pools on the gamo and threw it to win his money; that pool sharks owned and controiled _him, Now that is all that has kept Snyder off the staff of leazuo umpires, By the commendable energetio action of a small contingent of base ball men represent- ing a balf dozen of Nebraska's thriftiost cit- ies, the state loague has developed intoa full-blown, robust and promising actuality. iz Bez was the first 1o suggest such a pro- jeet, and while its assistauco in bringing about the desired end has been meager as compared with its generous feelings and good will, it takes measuravle pride in tho final consummation of a cherished scheme. Had the Western league flashod in the pan this spring, Omaha would have been a hustler in the state, sure. As 1t is, the organization will ut all mes find & most generous and 1n- terested friend in Tne OMana Bee, Ono thing the' management must keep con- stantly in wind as tho surest safoguard agaiost the samo old breakers upon which mauy an incipient staunch base ball craft has gone to pieces, aud that is- tho waintenance of amicable relations between the munagements of tho various cities consti- tuting the circuit. Disputes over small matters may be swelled to mountainous pro- portions by brainless nincompoops who are ulways perched on the topmost railof the neighboring fence ready Lo shoot their shafts of disintegration and demoralization Into the ranks of all logitimate yeu struggling organ- izations. There must always be just so many vegotubles of this genus in tuese usso clations, but it is hoped that Lhe stato league 15 the exception to tho general rule, 1[0t is uot, all that is necessary is for the proper parties Lo keop an unremitting watch, locato the woeds, uud grub them out a: the earliest oppOrLUNiL; Managers of tho league are herpwith r quested to send in # brief, but comprehou- sive description of their toams, always with whatever notes or comimnents of interast they may have on hand. Tur Bee is the friend of local enterprises, and will exert itself to further the interests of all. The amatour ball player, too, has a devoted friend in these columus, and at no Uime during the season will he be neglected, Avnpended will be found the scbedule just adopted by the stato leagie.

The base ball park was a busy place last week. Bacn day, oxcept when rain pre- vented, o lurge force of carponters was at work ropairing the fence, building a large Aressing room forthe players, altering tho grana stand and making mauny thero needed improvements. The old entranco to the grand stand, which was narrow and incon- venient, has boen abolishod and i its place been constructed an eight-foot entrance, which will land the people at tho bottom of the grand stand after ascending a snort flight of stairs. The unsightly directors’ ¢ the box bas been torn out and this scovers will sit in front of the grand stand most ou u level with tho players. A nodious ticket office has been builtat tho corner of Twontieth and Miami and o drossing room for tho homo players sits back of tho left field bleachers.

It was ousily seen by the cvelo press mon during the late race that even Kck is too good company and man for such as Wood, Howell, Lamb, O'Flannagan, et al. Who Will Lead O? Manager Rowe has not as yet, of course, decided on the batting order for the Omahas this season, but when they go to the bat against “Spud” Farrish’s What-is-Its next Thursday, either Bob Gilks or Colonel Shei- beck will step to the plate to first gauge the convolutions of the phenom *“Spud’’ claims to have dug up somewhere out of the sandhil “Spud,” however, says he intends to take a crack at his find first himself, before the day of the battle rolls round, and if he discovers that he has been deceived. he'll kill his phe- nom and gev in the box himself, A large number of questions have accumu- lated during the indisposition of Mr. Gris. wold, the sporting editor, which will be duly attonded to the present week.
