He has plaved first base and right field, too, and has done remarkably well, his one error being made at first base and costing nothing so far as the game was concerned. Manager Rourke has great con- fidence in the youth and predicts that he will develop into one of the best in the business. He certainly is apt and has the sdvantage of having splendid tutors in Biewart and Gonding. since the se: his talk was that losing money. He was up at and pointed to the attendance there to support his assertion. If the Milwaukee Western league tehm is losing money, wha pray, is the Milwaukee Hickey team doing? With no competition, the American associ- ation ‘games have been drawing 250 to 400 people. That surely doesn't look like much of & winner. And if, as Mr. Hickey says, imwill cost Mr. Van Brunt $40,000 to | maintain @ team in Milwaukee this sea- son, how much less will it cost Messrs. Quin and Havenor? Unless the Duffy outfit 18 uncommonly expemsive it can hardly cost more than $20,000 for the sea- son, &nd while not much of this will be taken in at home, the receipts of the team abroad will go a Jong way toward reduc- | ing the deficit. It is quite likely that Mr. Van Brunt will lose $10,000 on his Mil- waukee venture, but he stands to make that much on his St. Joe team, so he will get an even break there. and Havenor will get back son opened. The burden of the Western league is Milwaukee In the passing of Tom Fleming the ©Omaba outfield is weakened to & certain extent, for Fleming was & veteran and a splendid fielder. His weakness was at the bat, where he had not shown any strength at all. With Carter's great improvement in batting and the popularity of Genins, it seemed almost certain that Fleming would be benched in favor of Stome, who 1s needed on the team because of his hitting ability. While this decision had not been reached, Fleming anticipated it, and had practically made arrangements to jump to Sacramento. Burns' offer to take him on the Coloradp Springs team spared him the unpleasantness of being blacklisted, and he left Omaha with the best wishes of his team mates, his manager and a host of friends, who would have liked to see him finlsh the season here, but who hope he will do ‘well in his new company. Fleming 1s & aplendid fielder and will be found quite ®n acquisition for the Millionaires. the golden having a ball team cavort in front of a $20,000 grand stand full of empty seats from answering.

Bernsteln was ten pounds the heavier. It was a fierce fight, and the referee called it & draw, but the specta- tors yelled “Hermann,” and popular senti- ment had clearly given him the fight even though the official judgment did not. That illustrates the kind of nerve that is pos- - sossed by the man who is coming to meet Halch Smith Obe thing more may be added about Hermann.

Omaha Is up againet a new game. Shulle- board has just found the Gate City, and the prospect mow is that this alluring little sport will replace bowling more or less completely for the warm weather season. At the Gate City alleys one shuffieboard table hae just been put in, ang it has al- ready become ® popular that it seems necessary to install another at once. All long former bowlers crowd around it, and as no more than four can play at a time, the rest can merely watch and wait for a chance to get in Shuffieboard i¢ & baby game of curling In fact, it resembies the famous old Scotch game in so many particulars that it is & good miniature of the larger outdoor sport In each welghts are slid, not thrown, down & definite narrow course toward a goal The point is to get as near this goal as possible, and to kmock your opponent's weight away, if you Curlers use a “stane” weighing many pounds. Shuffieboarders slide a mmall iron weight about a pound heavy. Curlers play outdoors and skim thelr ‘“stanes’” down smooth ice scores of yards. The shuffieboard devotee stands at a table twenty-seven feet long and slides his weight down a smooth, hardwood sanded eurface sixteen inchee wide and twenty-six feet long Around this playing board is a gutter a few inches wide, to catch the welghte that are §1id off or are knocked off, and which then count for nothing. Curlers throw with their full arm swing, and the welght of the body is behind it. In shufeboard vou use the forearm and fingers, and the upper arm just a little. The advantages of shuffieboard just now are that it does not make you too warm. | 18 not a game of any great exertion, and is le skill and | withal a matter of considers craft. A few days’ trial has shown that it takes well, and it mag very well be the cause of bowling alleys being kept open which would otherwise have been closed Quring the summer. At the Gate City alleys a table has been wet along the ffth alley, and the use of that for bowling abandoned. The shuffeboard has aiready grown so popular that the use of that par- ticular aliey can be well discontinued in its favor. To see a lomg, marrow table on every alley would look funny to & bowler but it may come to that. The fascinations of the game are many. It takes about as long to play it as it does for two people to bowl ten frames. It is sclentific, and yet has enough of the ele- ment of luck attached to it to make it interesting. Men, women or children can play 1t, as no strength is required. Tour- nament or comtest games may be easily arranged. You don't have to polish or oil your table, and, best of all, there is no noise. The welghts used are flat discs of iron. The game is easly learned QUAINT FEATURES OF LIFE, The work of completing the dome on the federal bullding at Chicago is delayed by the fact that there are only fourteen “hu- in the United Btates who can do “steeple jack” work &t such great leight, and they are all emploved.

Smith never runs away from anything, and it will be joy indeed | to see him up against & man of his own nature. The men are to weigh 122 pounds | at 8 o'clock on the afternoon of the mill. Thie fight, following on the heels of the Richie-Bartley affair, would seem to indi- cate that Gallup and Richie were indulging in no dope wreaths when they said that they intended to bring off a string of cork- ing bouts at South Omaha this summer. Those who did not expect much from the first one of the list were agreeably disap- pointed, and on the face of it the coming fight promises far better than that one, for Hermanu seems to come far more highly recommended than was Mike. If he | fights as sturdily, however, people will be | well pleased with him. It was interesting to note how Bartley won the hearts of the crowd by his determination, his vigor and his stubborn persistence. It had been ex- pected by many that some easy one had been imported to give Richie a cinch vie- tory for his return to the ring after so long an absence, but as it turned out Mike was there to win if he could, and he nearly could The biggest crowd that has sttended s South Omahs mill in years was on band for that fight, and so the good opinion of the character of the goes to be offered st Blum's hall by Gallup and Richie was sunk into a lot of men's mindsy and therefore widely scattered. A contiBuation of such | square tactics will certainly bring to the subsequent games the hearty support they deserve for being offered up along the lines desired In one way Smith will have a great ad- vantage over Hermamn from the start Thet will be that the latter is strictly a six-round man and Smith can go the twen- { ty-round distance scheduled much better on | that mceount. In Chicago six rounds is the {1imit and all the Windy City boys go like fury for that short distance. When Bart- ley came bere to meet Richie the same dif- ference obtatned. He had never in his life gone more than eight rounds and was nat- urally trained for such a fight and se- customed to it. The long journey told in the end, as he was glad to admit, and had the mill been of the short variety he would in all probability bave won and might even have fairly been given the decision had it been cut off at the end of the sixth, any- way, evenythough be tried to save himself somewbat So it is more than probable that Her- mann will come out and go after Smith awfully hard at firet. Six-round men are apt to be flerce rushers, anyway, as their only chance to win is either to land or do the leading st best.
