BASE BALL GOSSIP OF WEEK Westera Leagne Muidle Sill Attracts Much Looal Attention. BURNS AND PACKARD RUN THE LEAGUE Players Have Good Case Against the Magnates Owing to the Viéla- tlon of the Terms of Thelr Contracts. Today's the day. 12 it Hadu't been for the desire of Packard and Burns to save a iittle money at the ex- pense of (heir partners, and the cheerful willingneas of Sexton to serve the men he tralned with and favored all summer, Omaha and Denver would be playing the last game of the season before a crowd of #overal thoussnd people, uniess the rain sign should be heid out. The weather, by the way, played President Sexton a scurvy trick, for just as he had hidden his dis- Mstrous retreat behind the storm elouds, the skies cleared, and the Missouri valley bas been basking ever siuce in the most de- ‘lghttul of Indian summer. However, any old excuse was good enough for the plot- ters. The worst feature of the affalr, so far as Omaha Is concerned, is that no notiee was had hers of the- intention. One week before the announced termina- tion of the league season, Manager Rourke was in The Bee office, and discussed for more than an hour in a private conversa- tion the affairs of the Omaha team, and at that time he knew nothing of the proposed move. It must have been known to Sexton, for he now comes to the front and says he bad the consent of the national board, and this could only have been scoured after some preliminary correspondef Thus one s driven irresistibly to the conclusion that Packard and Burns constitute the ‘Western league, that Sexton them as such, and that a little thing like Omaha doesn't cut ang, ice In the manage- ment of the league’s affairs. Rourke says the cutiing off of the six games that would have been played on the home grounds cost him 32,0 or $5,000. This may or may not be truo, but it cer- fainly did cost him something, and, as it ‘was done without his knowledgs or con- sent, the public can easily understand why he feels sore at the triumervate. And mow they talk of disposing of the Omaha franchise to some one who will not make #0 much of a fuss about thelr way of ‘doing business as has Bill Rourke Well, @8 has been stated before, Rourke is will- ing to sell, but any effort to kick him out, as is talked of, will meet such lively opposition that the kickers may tire of their job. Al that Rourke has asked fs that he be treated as an equal partner in the association, no! as a mere appendage, and that he be allowvd to have something to sy about the things that are going to affect him in & monetary way. Sexton parades the consent of the na- tional board as authority for cutting the season short' and says that under it he oan and will control the players, whether they like it or not. But the players are mot of this mind. All base ball authorities agree that the magnates have violated the contracts and that it is reasonable to masume that the players are released from further obligation thereunder, Here {is ‘what the St. Louls Sporting News has to say on the matter: The closing of the Western league race ten days In advance of the time covered by #ts schedul ad the sanction o? the Na- tional lation and the territorial and piayer rights of the several clubs have been but the step wes unwise inas- uch as it involves a lo: trons and has resulted in outrageots in- to the players.

The national board shodld take immediate steps to und» the wrong its order is responsible for. Or, better still, President Sexton should ses to it that in preserving the rights of the ‘Western league its players should be pro- tected from injustice. Minor leagues of lower classification have in some Instances been accorded the right to close their re- spective seasons before the expiration of thetr schedules. The Texas league secured T ——————— ten recognizes | of prestigs. with| this privilege last season and no adverse comment was made for the reason tha none of the players entersa a complaiat o nonpayment of salaries and it take. 24 A matter of course that u filled their obligations. .t ever, along the line, wili violation of the spirit and nauonai agreemen.

Omaha certainly lsn't In favor of continuing the struggle any further. And it's an odds-on bet that in neither city will the Western open with a team next season. As to Omaha- and the American associa- tion, nothing can be rald further than has | already been sald. Under the peace agree- | ment the territory of each league was a signed, and Omaha fell to the Western. Just what the outcome of the muddle will be may not be known for months, but there are many earnest supporters of base ball here, men who put up their money to #ee games, who hope that Omaha wiil land in the American clrouft. Manager Rourke is still tussling with what is left of the season’s base ball busi- ness, and he doesn’t expect’to walk out of the muddle for at least a couple of weeks. Ho has let all of his men go home, each with a string to him. Lines have also been thrown out for several mew players, men not in the Western league, but from eastern clubs, and Rourke says he will have a winner next year. Rourke wants to put polo on if he can arouse the interest. He intends to start just as soon as he straightens out the base ball. The idea is to form a league, with possibly six teams, and he is making fnquiry about the propo- sition. It seems to be taking favorably so far, but it has been suggested that the only way to find out whether it will prove a success is to start with an amateur team. Rourke's {dea is professionalism, and he is bent on bringing good players here to show the sporting fraternity what they can do. A polo team requires five players and a couple of substitutes. This means that in all, including manager and rubber, a total of ten men would have to be carried. Com- munication has been had with Des Moines and several other places, but it dossn’t seem to be taking well there, so this has par- tially disheartened Rourke in his efforts, and it is hard to tell just what the out- come will be. Before the collapse of the Western league came about, your old college chum, Jack Thornton, found one team Iin which he could get a fight If he insisted upon it. And thereby hangs a tale. When Omaha was leaving Chicago on the way to Milwaukes, Thernton cifine ihto the ear With & com- Ppanion to whom some members of the team objected. Captain Genins was spokesman, and addressed Thornton on the tople. Jack didn’t like the proposition, and proceeded o take a poke at Genins. Genins landed on the seat, dnd when he got out Bobby Car- seance was over Thornton was ready for show up in Milwaukee for the games. Jack is a fine ball player, but he will sorap and his taking a puneh at Captain Cockman on the Omaha grounds one Sunday after- noon. He stirred up the wrong bunch, team.

National league advocates insist that the Collins team would have had to hurry to Kkeep at the head of the second division in the National race, and the American boosters insist that Pittsburg would have been working to finish second in the American.

The management expect to have the course in first-class condition before long. BOWLERS PREPARE FOR SEASON Loeal League is Nearly Ready Start on Its Winter Schedule, to The boys over at Clark’s are making ready to fire the opening guns in the bowl- ing campalgn, and for the next six months the thunder of the lignum vitas ephers will be heard on the alleys. The in- dications are that the sport will be as pop- ular as ever. In every sport there are a }numher of players who take up the game and then drop it just as quickly to take up any 0\?:!!’ new thing that comes along. Bowling was practically rejuvenated a few years ago, and the faddists came in large numbers and bowled their arms off, then | dropped the gams. These were the players who created the boom, and now the sport 1s lively and healthy, The weaker teams have been put out of the business by the big league, and as far as tournament sport 1s concerned, it is on & higher plane and is the only popular play now. The loaded ball is gone, and even the scores are higher ‘with the new sixteen-pound ball, which has been adopted by the American Bowling as- soclation. There is no more use for the blg twenty pounders, and the players do not feel that awful pull on their arms as of | yore. For the past week there has been nothing dolng except practice for the coming fall tournament, which opens Oatober 12. The Omahas feel slightly down In the mouth, for they have not been showing up as well as_they expected. In the practice the St. Charles and the Clarksons are making the best scores and are looking forward to a bitter contest on the cup series. There is a joke on at the alleys, anl it is in the way of talk on the formation of the new league. The name suggested is the “In and Outs”” Now it appears thus: Each bowler must make a total of 470 or less pins to be eligible, and to get out it requires two straight games of 500 pins, or one, game of 600. The list of eligiblesis gradually swelllng to a big number and the boys feel quite elated over the fact that ih this list 1s found the captains of four of | the league teams who are in the cup series. | Of course thess experts have all had a whack at the pins, but it remains to be seen what they will do when the league season opena, LOCAL FOOT BALL IS LIVELY Teams in Good Condition and Prac- tioing Vigorously for the Season. Foot ball hes the public eye now and prelifilnary limbering up exercises bave been golng on for several weeks. Although ‘the Work 8o far has boen more like kinder- garten exercises, It 1s a safe prediction that before the season fs much er ad- vanced things will be going in a more busi- nessitke way. The coaches of the local teams are alming to perfect the men in the elementary work and the drill is being di- rected to skill in punting, signal practice and passing the ball. Thé weather has Dbeen all that one could wish for this work, and, although it may have béen slightly warm for the exprcise, the lusty leather chasers have not entered one protest. Two daily practices are indulged in by all the local teams and the evenings are being devoted to instruction on rules and kindred toples. From the present standing of the local elevens it Jooks evident that the | Creighton college boys will win out on the season’s work, far in advance of the High school or the Commercial college. A few gameos have been played in the past few weoks, but these cannot be called more than practice games, just for, the sake of gotting the kickers into shape for what is to follow. The teams are developing very 800d team. work for the beginning of the season and if they continue as they have been doing Omaha fans will see better and faster foot ball this year than they ha ever seen before on a local fleld. People are taking more and more Interest every year in the sport and this tends to enliven the players and make them play with more determinatiomr Nothing that can be called startling in the way of individual play has been accomplished, but it is hard to tell what is likely to turn up before the season progresses very far, for the coaches are giving each player individual attention in all lines of the work. e —— LABOR AND INDUSTRY.

CHANGES WROUGHT IN PAST FEW YEARS Has Fad enders In Forty-Five nos Twenty-Second Regiment but Two Yenrs—| Preferred Classieal to Ragtime. When the Twenty-second infantry, U. 8. A., leaves Fort Crook next month for the Philippines Emil Relchardt, the -veteran bandmaster in the army, will go with it and bid Omaha a last fareweil in an offcial capacity, for before the regiment returns he will have served over thirty years. But Leader Reichardt has made many warm personal friends in Omaha and will un- doubtedly visit in this city, and may make 1t his home when ho returns to civil ilfe. For a score of years Leader Reichardt has shared the good and bad fortune, and the easy and hard stations, of the Twenty- second regiment, having been appoiuted leader of its band after being seven years in the crack West Point band, to enter which It was neceasary to win In a com- petitive examination. This will be his third trip to the Philippines, for he was obliged to return home on account of ill- ness shortly after his first trip to the tslands, but returned thither when he re- Cuba, and is credited with having had some interesting experiences there, especlally on one occasion when carrying water to the soldlers during the fighting around Santi- ago, but for publication he only talks about army bands and music. Bands Do Good Service. “I belleve that the bands have played their full part in the Philippine Islands, and that the more the natives hear our music the better it will be for us,” he says. “While we were there before we gave a concert every day and the natives would come out of their trenches and places of concealment to listen, coming much closer than under any other circumstances. Some | of them would have on only shirts and breechclouts, and the mud would be stick- ing to thelr legs, but they nevertheless showed a fine sense of appreciation. They would greet classical music with applause, but there was not even,a ‘glad hand' for the popular or rag-time music, with one notable exceptidn. This was ‘A Hot Time,' which was the tune of the day when wey first went over there, and which they be- lieved to be our national air. We played it frequently, and the natives soon com- menced whistling and then playing it upon their own Instruments, and one time when a band of them serenaded some of the of- ficers they played it at the beginning and end of thelr serenade. *“No, we will not play ‘Hlawatha' when we go back, for they might take it up and think we had adopted a new national air. The women and children were among the most attentive and enthusiastic of the audiences at our concerts. Sometimes the men would take a shot or two at‘us after they went back to their own lines, but still T belleve the music, s & whole, had a tendency to ‘soothe the savage breast’ and make tuem mioré friendly, Onuse of Changes. “The Spanish-American war and the serv- fce in the Philippines,” coatinued Leauer Reichardt, “made other changes besides the discarding of the bearskin by drum majors. Previously the members of the bands had no guard duty, but in the Philip- pines they were obliged to take their turn the same as the other soldiers. The abol- ishing of the canteen, which was opposed almost unanimously by the older officers and the best soldiers, also had an effect on the bands, as a percentage of the receipts of the canteen was turned over to the band and was used in the purchase of new music, and without this money the bands, if they are to have plenty of music and get the latest as it comes out, must depend upon voluntary contributions. ~_ “The Twenty-second regiment is well known as a hard marching regiment, s well as an efiictent fighting regiment, but it also has another record which is not so well known. It is that while band leaders have come and gone by the tens in other regiments the Twenty-second Las had but two band leaders in forty-five years, My predecessor, Leader Clark, was.with the regiment twenty-five years and I have been with it twenty years. Higher Pay for Ba ember “I have heard something, but not much, of & movement to make the army bands larger, | and to Increase the pay of the members, | the argument, as set forth in a recent magazine article, being that better musicians and better music wopld thereby be ob- talned. I have not teken an active in- terest\in the matter, but the argument certainly seems to be a good one. The band leaders must of course have a musi- cal education before they enter the army and the members of the band must know something of music, and be musically in- clined, but the knowledge in many cases is very limited and higher pay might be an indycement for others to join the army bands. The privates now receive $13 per month, the elght corporals and four ser- covered. He was also with the regiment in | | geants receive $2 additional per month, the principal musician, who takes the place of the leader In his absence, recelves $2 per month, and the drum major recelv: $25 per month. “There are only two married men in the Twenty-second Regiment band, one of the sergeants and myself, and we will leave our familles in this country, One year in forelgn service counts two of home serv- foe, and as I have twenty-elght years of actual service already to my credit 1 will soon reach the retiring point.
