Wateh his arm. Be ready, and go down on the first ball. It's hit and run from 10w on. All over the country base ball players are getting into condi.fon and base ball enthusiasts are on the top tension of expectancy, waiting for what will undoubt- edly prove the greatest year in the his- tory of the national game. Right here at Omaba the interest never was keener; none the less so because we have a little local mystery of our own, one that is bothering Papa Bill as much as any of us.

If he succeeds in keeping his collection of booze fighters sober enough to play he will have done a great work, and one that will entitle him to high standing in the list of base ball im- pressarios.

Preparations made earlier for the eeason bore fruit with the first of the spring days and the High school lads edics and the School for the Deaf were out trying their mettle With the exception of the boys at Creigh- ton this outdoor work was the first that has been done for the season. The Creigh- ton boys have had the use of their cage and have profited by it immensely and are w ahead of the others in preparation. At the High school they are working on dope mostly as yet, as there are a good many new men who are trying for the team and no one knows what their coming may nean to the tearn. Things look bright, far brighter than they ever were last senson, for that team didn’t make good, al- though it did get more than half of the games it played. The team has been placed under the management of Miles Greenleaf, who will incidentally do a few of the twirling stunts. The outlook for the man- agement s very good, as the team will have no expenses which cannot be met at tho beginning, with the exception of the suits, and these will be furnished by the thletic assoclation. Claude Robertson of last year's team is captain and will play on the initial bag without a doubt. Besides Greenleat for the twirling there will be At the backstop both Fairbrother and Burnett are making a try for the work and it will probably be dividéd between them during the season. At third “Spike' Kennard, one of the est kid players in the city, will put up his sign, while a large number are out after second and shortstop. Among the most promising of the candi- dates for these places are Yoder, Devalon and Kroh, with a place almdst certain for Yoder. He is only a freshman, but plays good, heady ball and is pretty good with the stick. Where the real trouble lies in getting a team Is in the gardens, where there are no good men showing up. It is hoped that with a few days' outdoor prac- tice there will be & showing of some men for these positions. The season for' the teams opens Wwith a game with the Field club second team ,on.April 1& While the schedule “will hot be completed for some | warieties of speed he s ome of the best the Creighton college boys and | { those of the Omaha | lease signed up and s willing to take his days, 1t 1s certain that it will include games with Lincoln, Sioux City, Des’ Molnes, Bellevue, Creighton, Lemars, Tabor and-the second University of Nebraska teams. Cot- ner may be played on April 23 at Omaha. the Hickey league with a rather ordinary bunch of ball plagers, alid none too trong in the support-of the Milwaukee public. It really looks as if Dufty is to have the bet- ter of the argument in the Cream City next he did last. Onme big point in his favor is that A. W. Freese has been removed from the position of base ball ed- itor of the Sentinel and this will Insure the The 8chool for the Deaf closed its basket ball season three weeks ago and elected P. E. Seely manager of the base ball team for this year. Suits' have just been re- celved by the team and they have started in practicing. Prospects for a better team than last year are very good. A few games have been echeduled, but the manager is trying to fill dates still for April 4, May 2, 9, 16 and June 6. the news columns of the leading’ Milwaukee paper This will help a great deal, for last season the Western had to stand for a fot of unreasonable battering in the columns of the Sentinel. In big league circles the gossip has been mainly over the probability of Baroey Dreyfuss and his syndicate buylng out the Freedman-Brush combination in New: York. BSomething like this may be necessary, for Brush doesn't seem to be at all inclined to live up to the letter of the Cincinnati peace agreement, not to speak of its spirit. Ban Johnson has secured his grounds in New York City and has a big force of men at work getting the fleld ready to play ball. ‘When done he will have the finest base ball | plant in the world. The Freedmanites have | thrown every possible obstacle into his way, and these are mot a few, for Freed- man is a power in New York, but Johnson says he isn't worried now that he has the | A few weeks ago the basé ball magnates of the Fleld club held their ante-season meéting and elected officers for the teams. | Will Tippery was made manager for both teams, Harry Knox captain of the first team and Gall Martin captain of the sec- ond. The season will commence on April 11, the Omaha Field club playing Crelghton college. The grounds this year, under the superb care of Groundkeeper Gibson, will ba, as beforp, the best and fastest in the stato. Besides this a large and capacious grandstand 1s being erected for the. con- venience of the spectators, and it is safe to say that there {s not a more complete basq ball grounds In Nebraska than belonga to the Fleld club. The first team this year wil be composed chiefly of the pick of the young bloods of last year's team, strength- ened by the addition of many local stars who have jolued the club. There is no doubt that the Omaha Field club basc ball team this year will be one of the fast- chances on having streets opened through his park next summer. Another little ripple is shown by the be- havior of George Davis and EA Delehanty. | Davis insiats that he is going to play with Muggsy McGraw's outflt and Delebanty 8ay8 | oot grpteur tcams in this nmeck of the he will play with Grith's teah or not at| yoo ™ iy (TRt GNG BeeE prob- all.

Eddle Gordon had ‘the gang at work on the fleld then, about forty strong. The weather made things a little slow last week and some unpleasant things were said In the locker room Thursday about the Weather bureau. The date which was open, May 7, has been taken by Lombard university of Galesburg, Il This will make two games at that city, the other be- ing with Knox college on May 6. Last yea* the men were out two weeks earlier than this. Nevertheless inside practios has been more effective than formerly and this will in a measure offset the tardiness of begin- ning outdoor work this year. Last Tues- day, from 2 to b o’clock, the old gridiron presented a busy scene. The battery candi- dates were given a chance to show what they could do and the fielders werc kept on the jump for flies. Patting was prac- | ticed and Coach Gordon expressed himselt | as very much encouraged by the skill with Which ‘some’ of the new men ‘wielded ‘the club. Wednesday afternoon the..men were out in force again. In point of the number of 0ld university men, the team will not be strong. There were but three men who had | made the team before on the fleld at first | practice. The strength of the team is mot to be judged by this alone. The new ma- terial is not g0 green as it might be. Most of the candidates have played before on the | second team or high school teams, or some | other. The new men showed up very well last Wednesday and showed the effects of | the cage work they have been doing under the direction of a competent coach. Cap- tain Townsend says that by the middle of next week a squad of twenty-five will be picked and from these positions on the first | and. second teams will be filled, Infield practice will begin next week and things will be put in shape for team work. A new man came out last week to put in | his bid for first base. It is Moore, who played first on the Grinnell team last year. Wilson also has a desire to loaf on first. For second base no one has shown up to | declares his intentions as yet and perhaps | Captain Townsend wili occupy this place if he is not used in the pitcher's box. For the position of shortstop Johnson, formerly | of the Fremont team, and Steen are putting | in some pretty good licks.

He feels confident of a successful sefison and imparts confidence in the men under him. Manager Bell now has the final schedule made out. Nebraska will this year meet twenty-six teams in regular games, besides | the practice game which will be played. On the home grounds twelve regular games will be played, the first of which will be | the games with the Omaba league team on April 13-14. The trip which has been | | planned will go through five states, lowa, | Lillinois, Indiana, Missourl and Kansas. The trip will consume fifteen days. Twelve men will be taken, viz., the team, two subs land the manager. Practice games on the | home grounds will be played with the fa:mers’' and merchants’ team of Lincoln, Doane college, Young Men's Christian as- sociation, Wesleyan university and the Lin- coln High school. The fleld is being pur in shape, as the bleachers which were erected for toot ball would be in the way. The fence about the field has been removed and the ground will be put in its best shape possible. ‘The boys who wish to enter for places on the track team have registered and forty names have been handed in. The few Gays of fair weather were utilized for out- ect for a win- of door practice, and the pros ning track team is gralifying.

With so competent & trainer as Dr. Clapp, there seems to be no reason why Nebraska should not carry off its share of the houors. If the team does not meet with success it will certainly not be the fault of the coacher or captain, as they are doing everything they can to bring - track athletics up to as high a standard as foot ball. The schedule for the track team bas not been completed yet. Manager Walters stated Friday that meets with South Dakota at Sioux City, with Kansas university at Lawrence and the state meet at Crete have been cinched. Several other deals are in the air, but in aby event, the trip will be well worth While for the men to try for. The Sioux City meet will be held on Decoration day. | Fitteen men, including the coach’and man- ager, will be taken on the trip, The athletic board held its regular meet- last Monday, Members of the basket team were given Jerseys bearing the " in recognition of the good work they did in the past season. The second base ball team was given the privilige to use the fleld on three school days to make Friday games possiblie.

The team is now well equipped aud is confident of dolng good work when it is turned loose. HIGH SCHOOL STARS CONTEST Classes Prepare for Anpual Competi- i tion and for CI & Basket Ball Gemen. ‘The classes of the high school are busy preparing themselves for the contest that they are to have next Friday evening at Germanla ball. In connection with the class contests which are multifold fn form there will be a basket ball contest between the first team of the high school and that of Sioux City High school More interest centers around this game than the other coutests, es It is the lasi one of the year and Sloyx City already has a closely played one to its credit. The SUNDAY, lineup of the two teams will be identical with that of the previous game and (hs home Leam feels that It has the best of chances to win with it. They have at least the advantage of thelr own court anl the presence of the home rooters, which they did not have in the other game. The basket ball team was unfortunate this year in being composed of mew men entirely with the exception of Captain Cherrington, and so they have gone dowi to defeat in their three principal games, two with Lincoln and” ohie with Sfoux City. Despite this hard luck, ihe boys have stayed together and held the confidence of the school, and, with all of them back next year, will be heard from quite fre- quently. There are six class contests, of which three are individual and three team events The individual events are the high dive, the hand walk and wrestling contests. For each of these contests. first place counts five points, secoud plaee, three points, and third place, one polut. In the team con- tests the senior and junior classes will meet and the sophomore and freshman, the winners to contest for first place, which counts five poluts. In the preliminary con- tests first place will count three poluts, The candidates for the individual con- tests are about selected and the different classes will be represeuted as follows, with perhaps &'few slight changes Senjors—Hugh Wallaee, captain; Brnest Kelly, hand walk; Albert Fairbrother, high e Cuthers, wrestling mateh: R.

But they have all come back with fabulous tales of the ducks they killed and ate and of those that fell out of the reach of their dogs, but those they brought home fot the family and friends have been very, very few. The trouble has not been that the ducks were few or that they were such poor shots that they couldn’t hit them when they had the opportunity, but the rivers are too high'and only & few of the lakes have opened up. The waters on the rivers, which are all opened up, are too extensive to give the hunters an oppor- tunity to reach the ducks. Within a week or ten days, when the high water has sub- sided somewhat, the bags that the sports- men will bring back will be marvelous, for | all of the early reports of ducks and geese a-plenty on Nebraska streams were not overrated, according to all of the Omaha men who have been out after them. With the ldkes open and the rivers low, they will not be difficult to get at, and several hun- dred local hunters are preparing for out- ings of a week or ten days out on the weet- ern ranches of the Platte, the Loup and the Elkhorn and up in the sand hills. Omaha sportsmen are not the ‘only ones that are expecting to do some hunting this epring, elther. One local wholesale house that sells most of its goods to state people has sold: {wo carloads of shells for spring and would like to have more to sell. They don't have a decay dick in the house and declare that a folding decoy can’t.be hought in DyiaNa from a’slagle dealer. “IFthink,” one of the firm said, “that there must be more decoys than ducks on Nebraska streams and lakes. But I know that isn't true, for I was out three days last week and saw lots of ducks, but only got close cnougl to five to shoot them.” ~The Geneva Gun club will give an open tournament and trap shoot at Geneva on | March 25 and 26 and a party of Omaha men, among whom are W, B.
