This means that conditions of last season will not prevail. Contract Jumping will again be at a discount and the business of the game will be done on busi- ness prineiples. The understanding be- tween Powors, Whitfleld and Johnson means that base ball will again be under an agree- ment that will protect all interests. This 1s another puncture in the gas bag that has supported the Hickey boom. Having been formally expelled from the assoclation of winor leagues, Thomas Jefferson Hickey Is now entirely outside the base ball fence.

ROARIN' €AME ONE OF MANY DELIGHTS Morry Pre- Skill as Well s Strength Required to Excel at This Peculiar Prodact of the Scoteh Love for Sport. Members of the Omaha Curling club were out with the yesterday afternoon for the first winter, and great stanes time this | | was the enthusiasm and vigorous the play | with which the was hailed. You new season for the sport can talk about the craze, the foot ball fad and the base ball fever, but there is no devotee among all tho hundreds of thousands of supporters of these ganes who is more heartily inter ested in them thap is the curler in his own tancy. This s directly due to the great fascina- tion exerted by this sport It would be hard to convince anyome unfamillar with the finer points that curling is a game of almost unlimited possibilities in the way of sclentific ramifications, but this is the case. The control that an experienced man can exert over the heavy stones In sending them gliding over the fce is something marvelows. At a distance of half a block the curler can send his stone to almost any spot he desires, stopplog it within a few teet of the mark and often right on it Beats the Bowler's Skill Then he can perform all the feats of curving and pulling and slicing that a bowler does, and even to a greater extent for the lce ylelds to the twisting influence more quickly than does the alley floor, he- ing smoother, while the fact that the cast- ing distance is more than twice as long glves still more play for the development of this tortuous effect. Then in curling t o I8 the added Interest of having seve eral different polnts to play for, even in a match game between two teams, The game 1s tn this way much Iike whist, there being well defincd lines of play for each given condition as It may arlse. A curler may throw to make the tee or goal, or he may | #top his stone in just a place that will pro- tect that of his partner, already near the tee, or ho may strike his partner's stone to send (L further along toward the coveted mark, or he may cast to knock an oppos nent's stone far from the tee, or, it he s first man up, he may try to land a little way in front of the tee, so that any subses quent shock from either friend or foo will merely gend him closer up o curling ie practically unlimited in its possibilities as a true sport. Its play, more- over, is elementarily simple and the rules and style can be readily mastered. The tee in either a peg in the ice or a small hole. Around it are three circles of one foot, threo feet and seven feet radil respectively. One hundred and forty feet distant s the krampet, on which the curler stands to send away his stone. It {s a small wooden platform Iaid on the ice, with a foothold for the leading foot. To cast the player takes his stone by the handle, facing the tee, swings the weight back and forth once or twice and then sends it scudding over the lce, taking care to eet It down nicely about on a line with his rear foot, 5o that there is no jar nor bounding. The stone is never to fall upon the ice or be thrown out upon it, for that would soon mar the smooth surface by smashing and chipping and cracking.

For him who secks a bracing battle with the cold and wind and a long speedway of no exacting degree of perfection the many outlying skating places are ample.

The ponds at Hanscom park, old familiar stand bys, are agaln in demand, as always, but the ice Is a little rough and eomewhat cut up there. Then there is Riverview park Remis park and Miller park, each with its pond. For still larger expanses It fs necessary to g0 to Cut-Off lake, which has been fairly well windswept clear of the snow. This fs the favorite resort for Omaha skaters who have an entire half day to devote to the pastime. Others still are even going across to Lake Manawa and there ie the chief ren- dezvous of the Council Bluffs fco swallows. The lake furnishes an ideal skating place being large enough to glve a good trip around or even across and offering room for dozens of games of shinny and hockey at once.

Women never play It anywhere. The great welght of the stones makes it too violent This varles from thirty-six to forty-five pounds.

The very first day of the cold snap, & week ago yesterday, was sufficlent to put three Inches of good fce between mortals and the open water around Omaha, and every day siuce then has been bullding up trom beneath onto this foundation, till now there 5 a foot of the glacial mass over stream and lake, and that {s enough to set the city hall on without a quiver. It would really seem that for the first time in many years Omahaps were to have real skating again. Ever since 1896 the freezing has been of the most unsatisfac tory character. A calm cold night would put just the right finish on the ice and skaters would turn out In squads. But 0ld Sol was never coutent to let such condi- tions opply for more than a few days in succession, after which he would come out and spoil it all by softening the top into a slush or else putting a layer of water all over it, which never was left alone long enough to freeze properly again. Because of these things there has pot been twe weeks of good solid skating In this \ reviving of the old rabbit drives and such affaira are belng pulled off in the little town districts about here with frequency. One was held near De Soto last Saturday and among Omahans who attended were John and Willlam McDonald, indefatigable hunters. They have not yet returned to tell of the sport enjoyed. GOLFERS LAY SUMMER PLANS and Other Improve- ments to Mark Omaha Links Next Season, New Courses Omaha golt and athletic clubs are utiliz- ing the winter months for the consumma- tion of thelr plans for improvement and en- largement. As early as October 1 the dead time for such organizations began, and be ginning with the first of November the silly season Is on in earnest, not to be broken il along in the late spring, eay April 1, and that will be early for a thorough awakening. Owing to its manifold features, the Fleld club will be revived much earlier next year than will be the Country club. At the former resort there is bowling, base ball, cricket and tennis to attract the muscularly inclined member as soon as the robins appear, while at the Country club there is only golf, which comes along rather later than these others At both places improvements planned will be very extensive. The Fleld club es- pectally will {naugurate many important changes. Among these that of really great est significance will be the aggrandizing of the forty-acre tract Just west of the present golt course as additional territory on which to lay & new set of links. The {mportance of this move is not ap- parent at first thought. The vital feature is that ft will admit of a standard size golf course in Omaha, & thing the city has never yet had, and which s a most desirable and necessary feature for any real progress with the game. The standard course, prescribed by the Ualted States Golf association, Is one of elghteen holes, the total length of which {s not less than 6,000 yards. This takes room, but it makes the real game. Omaha golfers who went to Chicago and other cities and played on regulation links last year teatlfy to the fact that the added distance changes the whole play. Last year the Field club bad but a nine hole course and a short one. With the ad ditlonal forty this club will have about seventy acres on which to lay a golf course alone, and that will glve room for the elghteen-hole links of the full limit length &r more It deeired. Theso have not yet been plotted, but will be shortly. The new plece of ground is separated from the old by a deep railroad cut, which will offer grand hazards for at least two holes and probably more. The cut is wide, as well as deep, and will be a dificult problem to solve, especially as the ground rises away from it on each side. Other new features of the Fleld club will be & danciug pavilion and new bowling al- | they making the best total of the week 396 pins, with the Omahas a close second e Clarksons fell down very hard, rival ing the Nationals for low total, being only twelve pins better than the tail- enders, sec a the better on al Conrad 2 McQuillin, 2 Inches, 2 217 Bl Chirles 8¢ " Wilson, 214 I Schnelder, C. 215, 211, 208, H.
