Not one of | the magnates is willing to undertake to put through another season under existing | conditions. At present the Western league eircuit holds threo corkirg good ball towns, Omahn, Deaver and Des Moines; Peoria fsn't 80 bad, but St. Joseph and Colorado Bprings are dead ones.

It ought to be the peer of any of the smaller towns In the Western, but ft,has such a largo peréentage of forelgn eftigenn, who do not care for the game, that its capacity for supporting a team Is greatly fmpaired. Topeka has been given some conelderation as a successor to one of the franchises that will be open for dls- | posal. The Kansas capltal has plenty of life, and if Sunday games can be played there would do much betfer by the league than either Milwaukes or Kansan City has with the double-header arrangement. After that, the list of available eandidates for franchises fs remarkably slim. Many heart-to-heart talks are being had just now, and the firing of Bill Rourke has gone over to joln the “Me and Van Brunt” talk of last season. igucs. Whether they will | {ansas City and Mliwaukee It is not Imp Joe Quinn finally proved that his hide is penetrable, and hai given over his position as manzger of the Des Moines club. He couldn’t stand for the continual knocking because his bunch did not win the pennant, | and consequently relinquished the e~ sponsibllity for the team. On the face of things, it looks as if Quinn were wrong. He Is a capable manager, a: good a feld leader as there 1s In the Western lists, and has made a very good showing with some very indifferent material. He should have had the support of his team owners, in- stead of thelr constant criticlsm; but, in any event, he ought to have had the nerve to face the music to the finish. Omaha suffered all season from demoralization resulting from Ace Stewart's defection in a fit of pique, and the move made by Quinn is not at all likely to ald the Des Moines team in the races, victorles at Colorado Springs notwithstanding. Omaha didn't disappolnt its watchers at Denver, Nobody looked for a victory, and nobody was surprised when the over- wheliming defeats were reported. The team s demoralized, and without apparent spirit, several of its members are playing when they ought to be In bed, and the heart is gone from its ranks. Jts position in the pennant race is hopelessly last, and that fen’t enough to inspire the boys to any great effort. The team contains some great individual players, and these will serve as & nucleus for a more creditable organisation another year, when It is hoped that Omaha will get away from the post In better shape and make a showing that will be a credit to the best ball town In the west. Manager Rourke isn't making any promises beyond the safe one that he will do his best for the team next season, 8ad experience has taught him the futility of trying to ‘win pennants on paper, but he is looking for players as energetically as he has been at any time this year, and will have some men for a tryout before the season closes. , The terms of the national asreement, as prepared by the confere are oertainly as liberal as the minor leagues could wish. In fact, several very Impcitait concessions have been made by the major leigues, especially In the matter of reserve control 1t | tor | Here are the statistios: BATTING AVERAGES i Last | AB. R. 1B.

Some are invariably missing, and the new | material is scanned and weighed by public | opinion long before it is tried on the fleld. Over and above the question of the make- up of the teams, which is a universal question among all followers of the game early in the fall, there is added discussion now because of the new rules. The marked changes are few, but it is felt that they will heve quite some little effect upon the style of play. As to this, it is difficult to tell. There are almost as many views as to what the new rules will byng out in the way of changes of play as there are coaches and authorities of the game. The most particular change is that which requires seven men to be in the line when the ball s put into play between the twenty-five-yard Hmes, In this same space the quarterback s allowed to run with the ball provided he does not carry it forward within 6 yards from where it was snapped. For the benefit of the referee in watching this play the center of the fleld {s marked into a checkerboard with squares of five- yard dimensions. There seems to be a gen- erally decided opinfon that these new rules in the middle field—on the checkerboard— will bring the kicking game back Into favor, and also a resumption to the old Princeton style of play, which depended upon the backs carrying the ball behind interference. It means more attempts at end runs, double passes, criss-crosses and .others of the older forms of play. It also does away entirely with the formation of the guardsback, tacklesback and other heavy formations for ground galning through the line. This means that the spectator will be able to follow the play over the checkerboard more understand- ingly than was possible with the more complicated mass formations. Between the twenty-five-yard lines and the goal line the old rules as to the carrying of the !ball hold, and here 1t fs doubtful if there | | will be apy great change in the method | of play. There may be less mass plays in this portion of the fleld than ustal, per- haps, but that will be because the teams | have given more time and preparation to developing plays for the backs to nln. ground in and less time in working up | mass plays. and the farming of players. One of the greatest abuses that flourished under the reserve rule was the farming of players, by which the major league club for years would retain control of the services of player and keep him at work in a minor league, with no volce in the matter of disposal of services. In not a few in- stances the major league club secured more for the player's services than it pald him in salary. The unfalrness of this i3 too patent to need comment. Under the proposed rule, if the player is not needed by the major league, he reverts to been drafted. Under the operations of the draft the major leagues will cease the practice of gobbling wholesale players from the minors and will select each year only such men as have given evidence of their being able to hold their own in fast com- pany. We will no longer witness the spectacle presented lust spring of blg league teams with twelve, fifteen and elghteen pitchers signed up. Not one of these clubs expected to use all of these men, but by signing them for a trial they abso'utsly prevented minor league teams from dexling | for their services until after the season opened. From this time on the youngster | who wants to get into fast company will have to make good in the minors and will win his way by merit instead of by chance. This will be another spur to good werk in Other points in the agreement work to the advantage of the minors and do no Injustice to the majors, #0 that the agroement seems based on equity. That it will no reason to doubt and that baso ball is at the door of an era of prosperity seems beyond doubt. The collapse of the Pacific Northwest league s not a “blow to orgdnized ball" a8 some would like to make {t appear, but 18 merely an evidence that an organization intended solely to break up an established institution is foredoomed to defeat.

Another of the changes, which will be | apparent to the spectators, ia that in the {unitorm. The new rules do not allow of ! any hard or unylelding substance in either the uniform or the harnees and the sole leather headplece and stifiy-padded uni- ! forms will have to be rcplaced by softer | material. Al of this will be replaced and | the player as securely guarded as before, but the new equipment will necessarily be | @ lttle more bunglesome than the old, as | the padding needs must be thicker without any hard outer covering. The team which 18 scored against does not have to kick off it it does no wish to this year. This is a good point in the new rules, as if gives a | poor defensive team @ chance to score | against a strong offensive team, where otherwice it might never have an oppor- | tunity to touch the ball during the game. Everywhere through the country the teams are beginning to come together every day now. The University of Pennsylvania have taken twenty-five of the veterans and | pirants to Beach Haven for a preliminary season of training. but nome other of the | eastern colleges have started to do any ac- tual work whatscever. The only western | school, which has gotten its team together | | for practice yet is De Pauw. The other | teams are spending thelr spare moments | | proselyting and gaining new recruits for | the training table rather than hardening | | thetr muscles and increasing their winds in | | the country air at the expense of the col- lege athletic furd. in Lincoln, where they had the team that was not scored on last fall, everything s working along slowly to the beginning of actual ptactice. Coach Boo! is back and on the ground with Assistant Coach Westover. The team has suffered the loss of a few men, but there is a good bunch of veterans to bulld around. Engei- hardt will not be back and both ends are left open by the loss of “Chick’ Shedd and Cortelyou. Then it Is understood that an- Down | the la | has come to his assistance or inquired for | teur photographer | penetrated the closed drawen in which he last year's High school team are going to the university ard they should make fair bid for the team, although both are light men. Sterricker is probably the better man of the two, as he is fast and strong, besides having some weight. He will try to make end. Criffith, the other man, s a line man and a good one, but he is pretty light, only welghing 160 pounds. Creighton Is looking forward to a good season this fall, as it is certain that all but one of last year's team will be back and it may be that Harry Welch will play. If he enters medical college, as he expected to he will play. But bis loss will not be telt serfously, as Lampier, the star fuliback of St. Mary's colicge, will be in the gradu- ate school at Creighton this year and he will fill in the gap nicely.

For two years golf has been the| central figure at the club and interest and | character of the play have grown | apace during this period. But it has been period of preparation mostly, and the club has attempted little beyond teaching | its own members to play a better and a | stronger game. Now they are reaching | out toward greater things’and not the least of these is the hope of holding this | Transmississippi tournament on the links of the Fleld club next year. For this reason the club is preparing to send a large delegation of players to Des Moines | and they are hoping and planning to send | not less than fifty, of whom half have al- ready signified their intention of going. | Only last year the Transmississippl was | held on the Country club links in Omaha, | but the Field club has many reasons for | feeling that success is not impossible, de- | spite the desires of other cliles to have ths | tournament on thelr links. The course at | the Fleld club is considered an ideal na- | tural ceurse, but is still somewhat new, although each year finds it rounding more and more into shape. As players from as- | soclation clubs have played over it from | time to time during the summer, they have | expressed great satisfaction in its pos-ibili- | ties and In its present condition. All of these people will speak a kindly word for the club and use their Influence toward its | success. Thep a large representation can- not help but have a good effect on the other clubs. Bat above and beyond all is the promise of what the course'will be next year. It takes time to make a course or to reraake one, and the club has been quietly working on a change in the course. The culmina- tion of this work will come next year and the club will then have a course, which will be 6,20 yards in length, as agalnst 5,700 yards as at present, and quite different in general character than It now is. The sameness of the west nine holes has been one of the discouraging features of the course in the past, but this will all be changed. Bome of the holes will be re- versed and other changes will be made which will ald in the work. Then there will be six new greens on the course. With these changes made and the nat- ural roll of the ground, the hazards asd the bettered condition of the turf and the greens the course should prove an ideal one for the holding of the tournament. Besides it is the longest course in the as- soclation territory and, as length is one of the requirements of a good course, it is | another argument for the local clubmen. The holding of the Transmississipp! tourn- ament at Omaha Is something that will do much toward helping the game in its popu- | larity here and will ‘prove of almost as much good to the Country club as it will to the Field club. The association covers the territories of five states, Towa, Kan- sas, Missour!, Colorado and Nebraska, and | includes practically all of the golf clubs in | these states. With the bes® players of | these states playing in Omaha again after | one year's absence, the good to the many, who would not go away from home to see 1t, Is indefinable. | QUAINT FEATURES OF LIFE. George B. Smith has moturned and eulo- glzed on every Memorlal day at Augusta, Me., for about thirty years as one of the | gallant soldiers who fell with Custer at | Little Big Horn. Mr. Smith has been alive | all the time, however. He writes to Lis| sister, who is & resident of Augusta, that he is very much alive and is aking money running a stock farm at Oakland, Cal. Another proof of the statement that one's friends vanish when weaith vanishes is proved in the case of Francis Marfon Wells of San Francisco, a well known sculptor, | writer, clubman and soclal leader. Re- cently he lost his money, was taken griev- ously {ll and sought admission to & char ity hospital. Nome of the people whom,, he lavishly entertained in former days and who had then pretended to be friends him. Dr. J. F. Leaming, an enthusiastic ama- of Cape May, N. J., had an unusual experience. In developing a plate he had expcsed on a clear day of the Methodist church he found two streaks of light plainly visible, apparently coming from the clouds. Another plate of a po- tato patch showed the same freak. Bound to ascertain the cause, he developed unexposed plate, and found the same zag bolt. He then tried a couple of pieces of bromide paper and found similar marks on these. This satisfled the doctor that a fash of lightning from'a recent storm had an kept his materials, leaving its impress on every sheet of paper and plate he had in the drawer. Last Saturday night an unusual thunder storm swept over the northern part of Weber county, Utah. A tremendgus rain- othey lineman will be missing in Wilson, but this is not certaln. That means four men gone. With Mickel to play fuliback, Engelhardt's loss will not be feit so much, but there is no one to take Mickel's place in case he is hurt. At the ends the loss will be severe, but they will be filled in pretty well with men from the last year's second team. Then there is always the new material and that is hard to determine the value of until it has been given a trial. John West- over has been roaming around the state during the last couple of weeks and has gathered in quite & husky bunch of ma- play on thelr high school teams and some of the men are big and strong, but know Bothing of foot ball.
