THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1903. BASE BALL GOSSIP OF WEEK ( Weostorn League Season Ooming Rapidly to It1 Inglorions Oloss. GMAHA'S POSITION IS FINALLY SETTLED Rourke is Planning for Next Year and Proposes io Have Some Ball Players Who Can Play Ball, Y — Boon over.

The sighs of rellef that are usuaily heaved | @8 the crowd leaves the grand stand after the last game were allowed to escape long | 6go, and most of the fans have aiready turned to their winter occupation of telling | how It was In years gone by. Only one thing remains and that doesn’t bother the fans a great deal. Papa Bill Rourke secs & vacancy where about $10,000 used to be. Whenever one of the home knockers tells ¥ou he @idn’t try to get a winning team this year, just remind him of that fact. It doesn’t look right that even a base ball magnate would let a few dollars stand be- tween him and success, particularly when he knew that by spending the money he would get a whole lot more back In profits. BIll isn't an easy loser, but he's facing the music as gamely as he can, and will pay up every dollar, although he has to dip.into the surplus awfully deep to do it. When the season ends he will mark a red ink balance on his ledger and— Well, 1t's a hopeless fool who doesn't learn from his own experience, and if you think Papa Bill belongs to that class, you've g0t another guess coming. He isn't saying & word for publication, but ever since he ®ot it through his head that he couldn’t make a showing In the race this year he has been laying his plans for next summer, and it fs a good bet right now that there will be some new faces in the Omaha line when the gong taps next spring; and that's only half of it. Bill has now some con- tracts with young persons who have been cutting large gaps in the base ball fleld during the past season, and he'll put on a team next year that will make the other boys go a few. He fen't winning the pen- nant—never did win one on paper in his life, but he Is getting up a team that can play fast ball, and one that will be in the game from the day the season opens until the schedule is finished. Several of the men who have worn the Omaha uniform for somo years will not be with us any longer. Not that Rourke questions the loyalty of any of them; he has only kind words for all, but he realizes that their usefulness in Omaha fs ended. This might appear to be enough to damn them offhand; but it isn't, at all. BExperfence has proven time and again that a player may be a compara- tive failure with one team and a star with another In the same league, and be honest Wwith both. It is simply one more feature of base ball that cannot be explained. Rourke has named in confidence one or two of the men he expects to have on his team next season, and It 1 not violating that con- fidence to say that they look extremely #00d and will be of great value to the team. Bo, get ready for 194. Omaha hasn't been the only disappoint- ment this season. Denver has fared even worse than we have. With practically the same'team that made a driving finish of the race Iif 1902, the Grizzlles have wallowed along in the ruck all summer, unable at any time to strike thelr gait, and if it hadn't been for the opportunity they have had to walk over the Rourke family they wouldn't be anywhere {n the standing table. Packard has paid the highest sal- aries of any and is sorely disappointed thas he couldn't get returns. He will quit a big loser on the season, too, for the at- tendance in Denver has been even less than in Omaha, and the shrinkage in ro- ceipts 1s correspondingly greater. But Packard is like Rourke; he proposes to keep right In the game and will try to put A team In the fleld next season that can deliver the goods. St. Joseph has been the surprise. With a team that was thor- oughly demoralized at the opening of the soason, and with a question of whether salaries . would be' pald, with desertions and everything else to make trouble, the Baints have been in the running all the time and have proved stubborn fighters #gainst every opponent. Rohe deserves much credit for his handling of the team and the work he has gotten out of the men. Kansas City”Peorla and Des Molnes have done just about what was expected of them. Everitt started the season at a terrific pace, but couldn't hold it, although he has kept his team right near the lead- ers all the time. His men have played consistent ball all the way and are en- titled to hold second place. Nor is it any disgrace for them to be second to the magnificent team Hughy Duffy has handled during the season. Milwaukee has cer. tainly shown as fast ball as any one ever wants to ses. Duffy is well entitled to first place. Hls team will be largely drafted into the major leagues. Stone and O'Neill #0 back to the Boston Americans, Gatins and Kenna go to the Philadelphia Na- tionals, Cockman will go to Cleveland and it is not unlikely that Braun will be with one of the big leagud teams, » Nothing more i heard of the makeup of the clrcult for 1904 All of the magnates have ceaned to talk, for the time Is too olose for action, but it is about as sure as anything can be that the route will | Moines; October 81, Iowa State normal; be changed. Neither the American asso- clation nor the Western league can stand another season of disaster like the one now drawing to a close, and each is whi- ing to give up the fight; the only ques- tion Is on what terms. In Omaha the only wish expressed is that the city land in company of its class. We have the best base ball city in the west and all we ask is to be given a chance. Friday morning at Cincinnat! the peace agreement was signed and a step taken which will put base ball on the soundest basis it ever had. With a thorough un- derstanding among the men who have their money Invested, and with well de- vised machinery for enforcing rules and regulations, the elements of uncertainty In the business are largely romoved and the business element of the game will get a showing. Stipulations for the con- trol of players were the most important features to be passed on at the Cincinnati conference; in fact, about the only point over which there was any hitch was the draft price and the method of payment. It was declded that the draft price for class A players should be $1,000, and the | money should be pald at the time the player Is claimed. This gives the minor leagues ample protection, and means that a player must make good in the little ones befors he gets into the big. It means that the annual rald will lose its terror, and the practice of managers of the big leagues of holding what might be termed mass conventions of the minor league players every fall and spring will come to an end. Now the manager will select his players on the season's records, with due regard for the reserve rights of the minor league teams, and the managers of the minors will be able to tell with some certainty who they will be able to hold trom one season to the next. With the new agreement In effect, there is a strong prospect of the Pacific Coast league com- Ing in, thus doing away with the only “outlaw" league and making organized base ball an absolute reality. Some grim consolation is found In the fact that the “outlaw’ league has turned n cold shoulder on the ‘‘grasshoppers the cox and the players who jumped to the Lucas league last spring have be- fore them the prospect of a dreary win- ter on snowballs and a long walk home after that. Some day even the base ball player will get it through his head that it pays to be on the square, Whatever consolation there may be in the statistics concerning the performance of the Omaha team for the season up to date, is here offered.

The weather is just a little bit to0 warm yet for practice, but the boys are working like beavers, Crelghton college comes to the front with & professional coach this season, having engaged C. G. McDonald, who used to play with Oberlin and the University of Michi- gan. The team will miss the work of Walker, who captained last year's eleven. His place at tackle will be filled ably by Lamphler of the St. Mary's university of Kansas. However, almost all the old Pl ers will be In line. Walker is at present principal of the High school at Creighton, Neb. Willlam Callahan has ben elected to oap- tain the team and ¥. P. Jenal will be the manager. A number of candidates, fnclud- ing Rooney, Hobbs, Rogers, Prendergast and Jack, members of last season's second team, were on the fleld yesterday, making g00d headway under the Instructions of Coach McDonald. Nothing definite can yet be told as to the makeup of the regular eleven, but it Is safe tagsay that Rooney and Hobbs will stand & very good show.

The Omaha High school ‘s doing good work, having regular practice every day on the fleld back of the high school. Gedtge Thompson will captain the team this year, and will play tackle. The applicants for positions seem to be fast men and weigh on an average of 16 each. Big Bill Engle- hart, captain of the ‘01 team and Wil Grifith will in all probability act as coaches. The new men Include Andy Hardy, Victor SBwedburge, Benjamin Ben- son,” Porter, Putnam, Burfett and Loftus, all candidates for positions back of the line. For guard are Peterson, Rogers, Mo- Kell and Shlelds; tackle, Baxter; ends, Fleming and Thompson; center, Arthur Smith and quarterback, Grant Benson, Yoder and Shields. Manager Thompson says that they havem strong addition in Porter, who was last year with the Genoa Indians, He will doubtless be found at fullback. McKell was with Des Moines last year and will be a strong man at elther end of the line.

The principal game of the season will be on Thanksgiving when the Genoa Indians or Kansas City will be here. There is also talk of a game between the high school and Denver, but no definite arrangements have been made. The Young Men's Christian assoclation will not have an eleven in the fleld as of former years. They are busy developing material for their crack basket ball team, and consequently will not bother with foot ball, They expect to put a fine basket ball team on this fall OMAHA BOWLERS WARMING UP League Teams Nearly Ready for the Season Which Will Soon Be Open. Rapld progress is being made by the local bowling fraternity in the work of organizing and preparing for the coming season, which opens October 12. BSix crack teams, rep- resenting the best bowlers of the city, have organized themselves into clubs, to contest for the cup presented by the Baldwin-Balke company of Chicago. This cup has been won the last two suc- cessive seasons by the Omaha team, and they are striving hard to take it again this year. The membership of the teams has been limited this year to seven mem- bers. All teams are not yet full, but will be filled up this coming week. A rule of the association makes the cup the sole property of the club which wins it three times successively. The personnel of the teams made up so'far follows: Natlonals—Tracey, ca Gjerde, Ahmanson 'and Colts—Wel in; Chandler, Yoder, K. Hunter, Nora and Banks., oo unter, Nordene, Clay " 8t.

It s an accepted fact, a proven fact, that dandruff is a germ disease, and it is also a demonstrated fact that Newbro's Herpicide kills the dandruft germ. With- out dandruft falling hair would stop and thin hair will thicken. Herpicide not only kills the dandruff germ, but it also makes halr soft as silk. It is the most de- lightful hair dressing made. It cleanses the scalp from dandruft and keeps it clean and healthy. Itching and irritation are instantly relleved and permanently cured. There's nothing “just as good.” Take no substitute.

Rallroad men last year were pald $570,028,- 502, as compared with $445,508,251 in 1895, And experiment Is being made at Sloux Falls, 8. E. in employing Sioux Indians as day laborers. The Order of Rallway Telegraphers re- ports 8,97 members admitted in the six months ended July 31 Atter lasting over two months, the strike of the street car men at Richmond, Va. has been officlally declared oft. In round numbers it has cost $225,000. The co-operative union laundry, which as established by union laundry work- grs during the blg strike in Chicago's wi houses last June, has been declared a failure. The organization of women wage-workers throughout the country has become popu- lar, and is fncreasing rapidly. In Chi- cago there are twenly-five crafts organ- ized, with 8,00 members. The Brotherhood of Kollermakers and Iron Shipbullders of Baltimore, Md., with a view to enabling their employers to com- te with firm in other cities, has entered uto an agreement with the employers whereby the men have voluntarily de- creased their wages for ovértime on new work from two to three-fourths to one and one-half times the pay recelved for the usual working hours. ~The agreement is o be continued one year. “1 saw & great tinplate plant, erected by some prominent Pitisburgers at a cost of $00,000 stand.ng idle in the Ohlo valley near Stuvenville yestarday, “says & writer in the Flusburg Dispatoh, fand 1 inquired from a native the cause.

IN AN ADJACENT HILL HUGE CAVE Fashiol on Lines ulated Withstand a Siege Eftect- tvely Conceal the Loot of Highwaymen. Among the many places and objects about the little town of Florence that are inter- esting because of ‘thelr historical associa- tion with the early Mormon settlement at that place s one that is not so famfllar 10 the people as is “Brigham Young's Tree,” or the old Mormon burying ground This 15 a large cave located on the farm of John Tideman, a mil and a half north of Florence. Although it Is not belleved that the cave was dug by the Mormons them- selves, yet, as nearly as can be ascertalned, it belonged to the same time and is closely associated with many of the stirring incle dents of the Mormon settlement. Aside from f{ts historical interest, the cave is also interesting in itself. Without exception, it Is the largest place of its kind in castern Nebraska, and, when the early period at which it was bullt is taken into consideration, it becomes something of an engineering curiosity. When it becomes known that the cave was first built by out- laws and horse thieves as a hiding place for themselves and their plunder, its pe- cullar construction, location and the amount of work that must have been involved In its digging are more easily accounted for. Half a mile back from the Missour! river 1s a high knoll-like bluff, from the summit of which can be obtalned a view of the sur- rounding country and all approaches for miles in every direction. The river and bluffs from this point can be kept under survelllange by one watchman, and & bet- ter place could hardly have been selected for an outlaws’ rendezvous. It is In the summit of this hill that the cave is located. Concealed Entrance. The main entrance to the cave is from the east side of the bluff, about 100 feet from the summit. Although thero is now a brick entrance built up at this place, yet at the time the location of the cave first became known there was nothing but a small hole, well concealed, which was just large enough to admit the entrance of a horse. Entering at this place, the visitor, with the ald of a torch, finds himself in what appears to be & long narrow tunnel, running far back into the bluff, The tunnel is round In shape with rough sides, and is Just high enough to admit of a person's standing up comfortably. For the first 100 feet or more the tunned runs straight Into the heart of the bluff, until it reaches a point just below the very summit. Here another entrance has been constructed, but one which the average person would not care to make use of in eutering the cave. It is nothing more than a small shaft, just large enough to admit of the passage of a person's body, and, to a person on the summit of the bluffs outside, would appear to be nothing but a well, some forty or fifty feet deep. Down the entire distance of the shaft small eps are cut im the hard clay for the use of the hands and feet of anyone who might be taking this rather precarious route of getting in or out of the cave. This shatt furnishes a small gleam of light to the in- terfor of the cave and is also the only means of supplying the cave with fresh air. Clever Arrangement, oy At this point the cave turns sharply to the right and, circling around for a distance of 200 or 300 feet, finally joins the other end of the cave at its very entrance. It is this pe- culiar feature of the construction of the cave that shows the keen insight of the men who were building it. Although the cave has two ends, yet they both terminate at one small entrance. Two men placed with plenty of am- munition could protect the entire cave and its contents from a regiment of soldiers. Nothing but dynamite or heavy artillery could dislodge them., and the defenders could fight away for a lifetime, perfectly confident that there was no possible way by which they could be attacked in the rear or surprised in any manner whatever, One thing that excites the wonder of a visitor to this curiosity is the amount of labor that must have been involved in digging the cave. Although there was no rock through which the diggers had to blast thelr way, yet the digging of a cave 400 feet long, 7 feet high and 8 or ten feet wide is no small task, especially when the work is done at a period when it is presumed there were no other utensils than a few spades and pickaxes. The early history of the cave is clouded in more or less obscurity. It is presumed to have been in existence for twenty or thirty yeaYs before its location became generally known. Having been dug for nefarious purposes, the cave was naturally kept a secret by those most directly inter- ested in it. For years before anyone knew of its existence the scattering inhabitants for many miles fn all directions had “been preyed upon by horse thieves and outlaws of every kind. Droves of horses would be rustied off In the night, their tracks would be followed for a few miles next morning, usually to the edge of the river, and then all traces would be lost. What became of them no one ever knew. Storehouse for Loot. Other valuable property In no small quantities was also stolen and all trace of the thieves would be just as mysteriously lost. It was generally belleved that the thieves took the property down the river to some city several hundred miles farther down and was there disposed of, but all Investigations along this line falled to reveal any large boats or anything that would Indicate such a course being pur- sued. When, at last, the existence of the cave became known, much of the mystery was cleared up. It was then easlly seen how the horse- thieves could lead an animal down to the river's edge, take It down the river in a boat to a point opposite the cave and then in & few moments more have it effectively concealed. Other property $:as secreted in the same way. Here it would be taken care of for & few days until a favorable opportunity arose to transfer it to some point where it could be disposed of. Even after the existence of the cave be- came known it still continued to be used as a rendezvous for various gangs of out- laws. They were too strong in numbers and too well armed to be driven off by a few surrounding settlers. It became neces- sary for them to stop thelr predatory ex- in the immediate vicinity, but thelr operations were continued in the more outlying districts, and the cave con- tinued to be a sort of storehouse and ship- ping point for spolls. As the country be- came more thickly rettled the vigilanee committees became altogether too inter- ested in the place and the outlaws were gradually thinned out until the cave fell into disuse. Finally the land on which it was located was taken up by Mr. Pries, the present proprietor of Pries’ lake, and in 1578 be- came the property of John Tideman, the present owner. The cave is not used for anything at present, except as a place of interest for a few pleasure seekers, who occasionally plenie in that vieinity.
