Frown Junsors. Park Judgments OME apprehension is naturally felt by the magnates, and by them freely expressed, as to the out come of the present base ball sea- son. It is yet too early mine If their fears are well founded, if they may realize the hope they have that the public will turn back to base ball for it's amusement, If the game can survive the shock it received during the last season and the following win- ter, them it is pretty well fixed in the favor of the people. No disputing the real popularity of base ball, for it is the one game on which all can meet in com- munity of inter¢st. As to the commer- clalization of the sport, and the methods and practices that have grown up connection therewith, much room for public criticism exists. The sudden reali- zution of this has moved the big team owners to some effort to restore the gome to the position it held as a box office attraction, and has also given them a little occasion to worry. The answer 1s still in the future, but the well wishers of the game are hoping it will be affirmative, and that:the grand- n stands will be infested during the com- | ing summer by the old time crowds. Especially is this condition true of the Western league. President O'Neill has said that every effort is going to be made to win back the crowds that have been missing for some time. In Omaha “Pa" Rourke has given most serious en deavor to the solution of the problem, | with the one fact before him that he must have a good team to hold the at- tention of the fans, who have been some- what inclined to fickleness of late y He has gathered together what looks 1ike a nifty lot of ball players, and placed them under the leadership of a young man of intelligence and zecal, and now can only await the issue. If the com- bination does mot prove a winning one, he will have to experiment still further, | but he proposes to keep at it until he does get the winning team he feels sure Omaha ought to have. His letter to the people of Omaha, published last Sunday, was a frank and open statement of his side of the case, and & moderate request that he be given | such support as is commensurate Wwith his effort to provide Omaha with a rep- resentative base ball team. The most vindicative “home knocker” has never cused Rourke of not appreciating the t that the only chance he has to win | local patronage is to provide good ball, ~and the public may be assured that he ~Ts as wide awake to that fact as he ever —Was. The way to help is to go out to e Vinton park on Tuesday and show the team and its owner that they have a place in public estimation, and then judge them by what they do. Much out wonderment this way as to why is being expressed “Wild BIIl" Donovan keeps Pipp on first and Charley | Mullen on the bench. Pipp hasn’'t shown anything that Mullen hasn’t got, and be- sides isn't batting anywhere near up to 'Mullen's figures. We have with us today J. Willard, Esq., savior of the white race, head of a family and actor. He doesn't protend to be much of an actor out on the stage, but he does show what he can do with his big mits, and that is what the pecple most want to see. It's a good thing for Rowland the Sox pulled that ninth inning rally. If the team had lost that zame after its per- formance on the road, le'd have to tear right back to Rockford, without waiting to pack his Kiester. Jimmy Jane showed the boys that his batting eye hasn't sutfered any during the closed season. If he keeps on the way he has started Sioux City will never miss Lejeune, Wonder what ‘“Red” Dooin thinks of it now? He must feel something like he did the way he was golng to lick Johnny Gonding, down at St. Joe, and then changed his mind Even Al Demaree can with the right kind of him, win a ball game a team behind Des Moines didn't show spect for the champions on opening day, «ither, A lot of Omaha weisenheimers are about ready to lay off Joe Stecher now. JOE JACKSON, GAUDY GUY; WEARS DIAMONDS ON FIELD To show how Jg since his winter as Jackson has developed an actor it 1s stated at New Orleans the he cuyme of the ball yard for wearing several costly jewels on his fin- gers and a big diamond flashing in the hosom of his base ball shirt. Whether it was Joe's own fancy, or his press ogent toid him to bedeck himself so that ihe re- porters would give him notice is not stated. man, other Aay out very much re- | practice | | Track and Field Men Have Hard Work Ahead Before the Big | Valley Meets. i | ATHLETES AND THEIR MARKS to deter- | By JAMES LINCOLN, April LAWRENCE. —(fpecial.)~Coach Stiehm has definitely arranged for & | tennis tournament between the Univer- | sities of Nebraska and Oklahoma on May 15. The Oklahoma meet will be held the week before the Missouri valley enco tournament, which is to be held this year under the auspices of the Husk- crs. Stiehm has arranged that the Mis- sourl valley tournament shall start May |20 and last three days, ending Saturday, May 22 In addition to these dates, Stiehm has |a arranged tennis tournaments with Crelghton and Wesleyan and the Ne- braska tennis sharks will also have two | or three other schools to meet before the | end of the season. Stiehm is a good tennis player himself and intends to make it one of the big university sports this sea~ son The Husker authorities have no objec | tions to scheduling some tennis matches for the co-eds If the tournament can be arranged with other Missouri valley schools and the girls may | sport. Candidates Must Work. The Wesleyan meet yesterday demon- strated that Coach Guy E. Reed has a herculean task before him in rounding his squad of track men in shape for the dual meets with Kansas, Ames and Min- nesotu, the first of which comes next Sat- day. Even against a secondary college {he Huskers looked like a bunch of ama- teurs and cannot hope to make much of a showing against the valley schools un- less they mprove a lot. When Nebraska's representative goes to the Missouri: Valley conference meet- ing next month, he will plug for the adoption of a rule allowing participation in athletics, providing the athlete is car- rying twenty-four hours of work suc- cessfully. The scholarship question still continues to be the hig bugaboo in the | conference, owing to the attitude of some lot the faculty representatives, who are seeking to continually raise the standard. Standing of Athletes. No report has been issued yet by the | scholarship committee of the conference with regard to its findings on a compara- tive investigation of athletes’ scholarship ith other students in the college. The | committee, howcver, is gathering data [to determine what percentage of athletes | fail in thelr studles in comparison to the | fallures among those students who do | not participate in athletics. At Nebraska !it is said the showing will be very flat- tering to athletics, for without exception {the members of the foot ball and track squads have succeeded in carrying their school work satisfactorily. Co-eds were awarded their first “N" letters this week by the university at letic board. ‘The members of the girl | sophomore basket ball team, which won jthe championship of the university in recent tournament, recelved big * blankets. Ten members of the team re- ceived them. Jess Willard Says He Dreads His Tour Around the Country While it has always happened that fistic champions, even in the newness of the thing, thrill with pleasure at the {thought of a theatrical tour, the clamor land noise of such trip and the pleasant |rustle of the unintelligent currency that {ambles in, comes reports that Jess Wil- lard dreads his cross-country jaunt. | Dreads is the word that is used, too. He wants to g0, so 'tis sald, to see Mrs. Jess and the little ones, and does not like to {hop about the country in Pullman cars. | The champ has theatrical engagements }hrnkvd until August 1, it is sald, and {then his managers intend to plan a trip to Australla and South Africa and Fouth |America. While, perhaps, Jess may not want the money, his managers are wast- ing no time. Jess has sald, however, if he goes on any fcreign tours the entire | Willard family will go right along, be- {couse he has been away from them long lenough as it 1s. He is at the Gayety |this week.

SEVEN TIMES WILL HE SHOW Instead of walting nineteen months, Omaha has only to wait nineteen days from the date of the big battle at Havana before seeing in the flesh Jess Willard, {the man who brought the world's hcavy- weight pugilistic championship back to the white race, for with the wreath of victory on his massive head the new idol of sport lovers will begin a three-and-a- half days’ engagement at the Gayety the- ater this afternoon, appearing twice each day in conjunction with the Great Beh- man Show, All Jast week the new hero of the ring appeared at Hammerstein's vaudeville theater in New York City at a salary of $1,000 for the week, and, although that theater has a tremendous capacity, there was nowhere near the room to accommo- date the countless thousands anxious to pay homage to the big Kansan. Th: New York theatrical men have offered tempt- Ing inducements to Manager Johnson of the Gayety, Omaha, in an effort to get him to release Willard from his Omaha engagement, and, although it ls costing the Omaha man $3,500 in salaries and transportation from New York to Omaha and return for the entire Willard party, | Manager Johnson has stood pat, belleving |the new and popular champlon would be |of far greater interest mext week tu the | people of this section of the country than though twelve to eighteen months should elapse before he came west.

LINEUPS ARE ANNOUNCED A combat which bids well to be a cruclal turning point in the history of Omaha is carded for Miller park this morning when two alleged base hall teams, repro- senting The Bee and World-Herald adver- tising departments, will ciash In & most desperate fray. Dick Carrington and Walter Lamb are the responsible parties. ‘Twas this pair of previous advertising sharks who promoted the game and then organized the teams and kidded Joe Hum- mel into taking a chance and letting them use his vark. Grover Cleveland Alexander Crawford I8 booked to heave for The Bee team. It is not known with which wing Crawford hurils the pill, but it is safe to predict that it doesn't cut much figure. Lamb, who says his name should have been Walter Johnson instend of Walter Lamb, will chuck for the hyphenated contemp down the street. Two very important details of the battle are yet to be arranged. The selection of an tmpartial and neutral umpire is caus- ing the most trouble. There have been many applications for the job, but it 1s |thought there are very subtle inspira- tions behind each application, with the re- sult that on¢ manager or the other kicked. The other detall is the matter of paraphernalia. Nobody in the crowd owns bat, ball or glove. Any kind and philan- thropic citizen who can furnish any of the above is invited to attend the game. The lineups will be as follows, providing everybody shows up: Bee Rice Crawford Moore Slevin Smith ‘arrington Nusbaum Schaaff Hunter World-Herald Sherman Lamb Wilson Agor McNabb Nelson Temple Abraham Respeos Cateh Pitch First Second. .
