OMAHA, BSUNDAY, APRIL HE question in which fans the coun- try over will tind chief interest this #eamon will be, “Oan the Cubs make it four stralght penants and three world ipe?” For or aghinst the team, no fan can get away from that question. It is THE question of 1908. N team ever has mchieved this dis- tinetion; no National League team ever has won four donsecutiva league pennants. Manager Chance says his team will do it. Of course, thet's what Chance ought to say. A manager less bold wouldn't win. But laying aside any claim Chance may make, the fact 15 the Cubs would be better prepared to achieve their ambition it Kling were with the team. That doesn't by any means Mgnify they are unequal to the task without Kling, however. Evers wilf return to the feam If, T the judgment of Chance, he in He will return June 5. But the wre mo powerful in évery other department that they have a show of re- peating. Their batting strength probably 1s greatéer than last year and on the whole, with the one exception of the catching departrhent, the team may be stronger. ‘That, of course, is not reckoning ome way or the other with second base, for Bvers is avaifable when wanted and until then Zimmerman will cover the bag all right. But to effset whatever weakness the team may have sustained by the loss of Kling t may be wise to look to its nearest rival Of last year and examind its condition. New ¥ork surely cannot be s strong, or i it is yet to be demonstrated. ‘Brean , who was as much to the Glants as Kling was to the Cubs, is gone; Donlin, who probably enabled the Giants to become contendérs for the pennant tp the last, is gone. These facts should bs oconsidered along With those relating to the Cubs. And after all is said and done Murphy can get Kling back any day he comes to l(llnr-/l.flu. ®0 that gettles that. If all‘reports we hear about players in this reglon recelving and rejecting fancy' offers from, the outiaws are to be accepted at thelr face value, then these same out- laws must have sustained several large, sickenifig jolts of late. It 1s a good sign, indeed, to find promising young ball players with the stamina to turn -down tempting offers from clubs not within the pale of organized base ball. No man, of course, with an eye for his own future welfare would long be tempted by such an offer, but just the same many a young fellow, flushed Information Furnished by Dan Geilus for the Iportnun.

NEW YORK, April 17.--Joe Gans, former lightweight champion, i highly incensed at the report crediting him with being a tuberculosis victtm. The ‘old master” stated that he was in good health and that he contemplates obtaining & physiclan's certificate to that effect and having it published broadcadi. After the Gans- ‘White bout in this city a story was current to the effect that the negro was a victim of the “white plague.” It was sald chat he spit blood during the contest and that the poor fight put up by the former cham- plon lent color to the rumor. It is common gossip in the Monumental ety that Gans did littie or no training for his fight with White, At the time the mateh took place the negro was endeavor- ing to have his hotel licepse renewed after the application had turned down' by the commissioners. Gans was greatly wor- ried over this matter and spent little time in conditioning himself for the bout with the Englishman. e fact that the rumor #ained considerablelground s probably due 1o the fact that fBans himeelf caused similar story to spread prior to his fight with Nelson last September. The longs to the negro issued a statement at that time, de- claring that he was forced to sleep out of doors, The object was to raise his odds and the trick succeeded. Gans stated that he had gained I weight which is rather a stzangs thing for & “eonsumptive” to do. nmnamlmnmxu Over 10,000 pected to Compete in National Congress. NEW YORK, April 11.—According to lat- est advices, nearly 700 five-men teams will roll in the third annual championship tour- nament of the National Bowling associa- tion at Madison Square garden May 24 to June 12 William Cordes and Maurice Wyman, president and secretary, respec- tively, of the tournament company, who re- cently returned from an extended trip, have estimated that the various states will be represented as follows: New York state (exclusive of Greater New York) 10; New Jersey, 100; Pegnslyvant thirty; Delaware, ten: Maryland, twenty- five; Ohlo, thirty; Illinols, twelve; Con- neoticut, twenty; Missour), six; Canada, ten; Indiana, five; Kenticky, five; consin, five; Michigan, five: Minnesota, (hree; Massachusetts, Rhode Istand, three; District of Columbi thres; lowa, two: southern sta te Greater New York Is expected to enter nearly 300 teams. Whatever extravagance might be shown in the above estimate will undoubtedly be made up by the entry of teams from cities and towns that have not been considered by the officials. On the total of 62 five- men theams, it is quite reasonable to ex- pect 1,700 two-men teams and fully 3,600 | individual entrants, making a grand total of nearly 10,400 men competing and more than 31,00 games to be rolled. It is feared that It may be necessary to close the en- tries conSlderably earlier than was at first contemplated. The date at present is May §. Fremeh Farmers to Auto.

Melntyre & Wallace, agents for thé Oak- land, received the announcement last week that the Oakland forfy-stock car won the Morgan hill climbing contest at Logans- port, Ind., silver cup trophy. The automoblle dealérs of Omaha and Counell Blufts are wide awake citizens and do hundreds of kindnesses that are not peddied out to idie gossipers as a trick to make public what they are glad to do. They are already talking of placing cars at the disposal of the orphans of Omaha and to make the little ones happy in some outing chosen by their guardians. It was J. J. Deright's cars that trans ported those interested in the Child Saving Institute over the city ‘last week. Others have supported offers of this nature. “The cross-country run taking place during next month promises to be one of the most interesting that the Young Men's Christian association ever rade,” sald Manager Parker yesterday. He sald that the run will be toward Lincoln, and that fifteen or twenty automobiles will be used to accompany the contestants. Some of the cars have been engaged, and it is not uniikely that all of the dealers w‘lll furnish cars. Henry H. Van Brunt is in Indlanapolis. He represents the Overland automobile, which absorbed the Pope-Toledo -concern in Toledo last week. The new garage for Henry H. Van Brunt in Council Bluffs is completed and the stock of Overland & Pope HartforG cars was transferred from the old garage to the new last week. The garage for the Atlantle Auto com- pany in Council Blutfe will be completed next week. This will be Yhe home of the iReo and Ford hereafter. The taxicabs purchased by H. E.

Time, one hour, five minutes and twenty seconds. These contests are interesting, and it not unlikely that during this season many such contests will be pulled off by Omaha dealers. It is understood that the Jackson will climb & perpendicular blutf in Iowa, and that ths Mason will do a stunt soon, which will create considerable’ talk. W. D. Hosford spent last week In Rapid City, D., where he exhibited the Velle at the stock men's conyention. RACERS PREPARING FOR START Applications Are Now Pouring Inte Secretaries’ Ofices, NEW YORK, April 17.—Horsemen in this city and at local tracks are in good spirits sifice the granting of dates for the local racing season. While the season, as at Dresent arranged, beginning May 15 and closing August 3, is about half what it Was In otter years, when it opened April 15 and continued until November 15, there is every ppospect that some good racing will be seen this summer. Several sécretaries of local jockey clubs have recetved | numerous applications for stable room from horsemen who have their racers quartered at out-of-town tracks, and with those already occupled stable room will soon be at a premium at the big tracks. With the closing of the tracks at Oakland and Los Angeles the middle of this month, many of the big stables which have been racing there throughout the winter are packing up. and several of them are now on their way east. While it is true that the tracks In Ken- tueky, which will hold meetings shortly, and Pimlico, which beging on April 24, will attract a number of fast thoroughbreds, & few of the owners will pass up the south- | ern _meetings and come on direct, having applied and received acceptance for stable room, The Pimlico track will undoubtedly have {an excellent meeting, and many of the owners apd trainers who have wintsred their horses at the local tracks have been sending them slong at & fast pace, and many of them are now in good condition to go to the post. Aithough no officlal announcement has been made, It Is stated that there will be four days' racing each week at Belmont Park, Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, Fmpire City and Saratoge tracks on the present schedule, and later in the year there may be five and perhaps slx days of racine. seventeen stake events for 2 and 3-vear-olds which closed in 17 and will be run off bl year. Several of these events in for- mer years were well worth winning. as a liTge number of entries were always made to these events and with the added money were rleh purses The Westminstor Racing association has | fanr events which closed in 1907 and which wil’ he run this spring, namely, the Na- tional Stallion. for 2-year-olds, and the Withers, Belmont and Ladics, for 2-year- olds, while the Matron stakes;for -year- olds will be run in the fall There are five valuable events for the Coney Island Jockey club meeting, which includes the rich Futurity, the Lawrence Realization, Tidal, Mermaid Filly. The Brooklyn Jockey c'ub has the Brooklyn Derby., Carlton and Gazelle stakes, and the Saratoga Racing assoctu- tion has the Alabama. Hopeful, Spineway and Travers. A good list of nominations was made to | all these events, but n account of the uncertainty of raciug a large number of owners declared their horses from a num- ber of these events, but there are still a sufficlent number left in to make then interesting races. — oaks from itte acorns grow. m-muwu--mh business.
