FANS NOW IN THEIR GLORY/| Major and Minor Base Ball !tam' with Flying Colors, | TOTAL C0ST PROVES ENORMOUS and Players and Organiza- | All Cost Money, but the Pays that Me Mey Have Good Ball. NEW YORK, April 17.—-With the most | perfect organization of any professional #p0rt fh the World, and with more capital nvested to securé Its future than fs in- vested to further the requirements of any | other organized sport, the base ball season | of 159 In major and minor leagues is now | under way. While the layman in baseball who sits on the bleachers or in the grand stand pro- feases to entertain a certaln amount of sCOrn A8 o the “money end of the sport.” and the sums which are peeded to main- tain #t suécesstully, it is & fact that, from the humblest cheering boy to the hest sat- isfied millionatre who admires “dag's first game,” thers is a certaln clement”of pride in the fact that the “home team Is doing well” and that the national pastime thrives from away up in the corner cf Malne to away down in the corner of California. Ofthand it may be sald that a sum ap- proximating $2,000,000 has been devoted in the last twelve months in a gencral way to the betterment of the accommodations for the game throughout the United States, It 1s & good big roll of money to be dis- tributed solely to further recreation and pleasure for the masses, and a summary of the ways in which the expenditures have been made is not uninteresting. First, let us look at the purchase of a splendid fleld and the erection of a magnhi- ficent stand by the Philadelphia American league club. “‘Uncle Ben" Shibe, the prin- cipal owner of that organization, has a structurs which is a monument to base ball by reason of its magnitude and luxur- fousness. Architecturally beautiful, practi- cally adapted o the uses to which it is w0 be put, it will be one of the sights of the substantial Quaker City. The present National league stand in Philadelphia, al- though -older, of itself is & tribute to the #ame, and base ball patrons in the metro- polis of the Keystone state are provided for in the future almost on a scale of grandeur. Many Larke Improvemen: The Pitteburg base ball club has pur- chased ground for a new and capacious field and is dbullding as rapidly as poesible a grand stand and fleld stands, which are but little less ornate, If any, than those in Philadelphia. Reared aloft in steel and concrete, the Pittsburg club will have an enormous ‘“‘three-decker'! before the year is over, which eventually may accommo- date the huge number of nearly 25,000 patrens. The New York National league club has expended thousands of dollars in improving the structures on that historic tield which s known throughout the length and breadth of the United States as the Polo grounds. The Cleveland base ball club has ex- pended & large sum, not only in enlarging {ta beautiful park in the Forest City, but in rebullding the stands and making them more comfortable for the patrons. The Chicago American league base ball club hae purchased a valuable lot of real estate in that city, on which new stands suitable to the uses of the Glub will be built ere long. The Detroit club has in- vested a large sum In real estate for a new field, and when ready the bulldings for that organization are promised to be erected on & scale commensurate with that which has been adopted in the other large clties of the United States. The St. Louis National league ciub has| secured . its holdings on the real estate which 18 under Its comtrol, and better stands are a future pift of the patrons of base ball thers. The 8t. Louls American league club has amplified and rebuilt its stands. Cincinnati already has one of the " more siaborate stands of the major league cirenit and the capacity of the Chicago National league ground was increased hugely by the rebullding of a greater part of the structures on that area.

COLLYGE BALL IN LINCOLN AGAIN (Continued from Page One.) and are in no way governed by the athletic board. Intercollegiate matches are held every spring, but are not recognized by the athletlc ~ authorities. For some time the tennis players have been seeking to get the board to place the game under its control, and their efforts now seem likely to be rewarded in part. Some action will be taken by the athletic board on the petition of the tennis players next Tuesday. It 1s not probable that the board will take entire charge of the tennis tournaments. = What the authorities are likely to do will be to consent to grant let- ters to all men taking part in intercol- leglate contests, but they will not assume the financial responsibility for these tourn- aments.. They will order thai' the. présent tennis assoclation be continued and that the direct contral of the matches be lodged in that organization. This arrangement will not grant the ten- nis men all they have been asking, but it will give them an opportunity to become wearers of the coveted “N"—and that is the most important concession for which they have been striving. Interest in tennis is at a high pitch this apring, probably higher than in any previous season. More men afe using the courts than heretofore; they are attracting more atten- tion with their play and are receiving more encouragement from the university and pub- Hein general. Plans have been lald for hold- ing two Intercolleglate towrnaments, one with Kansas and one with nm%n.. The date and arrangéments for the teh with the Jayhawkers have been completed. It will take place at Lawrence on May: 25 The plans for the contest with Minnesota are still hanging fire and cannot be com- pleted unless the athletlo board ap- propriates & small sum to defer the es- penses of sending a team to Minneapolis. The matter of giving tha players this money was considered at a recent meeting of the board in a favorable light and the appropriation of the amount needed will be made at the next session of the board. High School Meet in Lincoln, The committee of the Nebraskh Teachers' association having In charge the locating of the annual Nebraska interscholastic meet, decided this week on Lincoln as the place for holding this big contest again and set May 14 as the date for it. Owing to the failure of the university board of regents to appropriate money to make up the deficit of Iast spring, Lincoln and the university nearly. lost the meet for this season. The Lincoln Commercial club came 0 the rescue of Dr. Ciapp at the right time, offering a good guarantea for the contest, and saved the blg meet for this oity. The action of the local commereial club assures Lincoln the meeting as & permanent annual institution. . For many years the interscholastic meet has been held in Lincoin under the super- vision of the university authorities and the expenses of advertising it have been paid by the board of regents. Last spring, how- ever, upon the recommendation of Chan- cellor Andrews, the regents refused to, ap- propriate 360 that had been spent In ad- vertising the meet. 8o this year the com- mittee in control of the contest considerad taking it away from Lincoln because It felt that the university did not desire to have the meet held here any more Kearney made a good offer for it and the committee was thinking of locating it there, when Dr. Olapp and several other university men be- came busy and aroused the Commercial club to take the action that resulted in securing the meet for this city. Games at Falr Grounds, As in past years, the local arrangements for the meeting this spring will be in charge of Dr. Clapp, physical director at the university. He plans 1o have the same st of events that wews run qff last season and to hold the games at the state fair grounds. These ovénts will be as follows: One hundred-yard dash, half-mile run, 120- yard hurdles, 20-yard hurdles, 440-yard run. one-mile run, 29-yard dash, half-mile relay race, pole vault, twelve-pound shot put, ruaning high jump, twelve-pound hammer throw. discus throw. running high jump and running broad jump. Dr. Clapp believes the meet this year will be another record breaker, surpassing even Look Your Best in The Lanpher Hat = j out: last spring's banner games in the number of entries and in attendance. Last spring twenty-six echools with 130 different ath- letes took part in the meet. This was the largest numbep- of schools that had ever placed men in the games. The attendance exceeded 1,200, which was vastly greater than on any’ former occasion. This year each school Will be permitted to enter ten men in the games, only twp men from each school belng allowed to enter each event. The same arrangements for awarding medals that were adopted last sprivg will obtain this year. Silver and brorze medals will be presented to the winners ‘of first and second plices in each event and a silk badge will be glven to the winner of third place. A gold medal will be awarded to the winner of the greatest number of individual points, DETROITDEFEATS CLEVELAND (Continued from First Page.) Btolen base: Parent.

It is built for comfort, durability and satisfaction, and, owing to the ball-bearing motor and spring con- struction, it will be doing its best work long after most of the others are in the scrap-pile.
