from each Of these citiee will be held in
Omaha next Thursday for the purpose Of
completing preliminary arrangements and
effectlng an organization.
No person other thau Buck Keith has been
suggested or even thought of in connection
with the managerial position of the Omaha
team He has been the godfather of local
base ball for several years, and with the
somewhat limited material available has
been able to provide Omaha fans with some
really good baee ball organizations. Bucks
plan to raise the necessary funds to enable
Omaha to become a member of the new as
sociation Is to secure a voluntary donation
OF $4,000 from the financial nabobs who pa
tronze the sport. or his ability to do this
he has not the slightest doubt. Added to
this will be a stock subscription Of 81 800
Each subscriber will become shareholder
on payment of S., and no one will be per-
mtted to purchase more than two shares, or
$40 worth In this way no clique will be
able to get together enough stock so that
they will have the privilege of running the
organization, but its division among many
will insure the best success. Besides this,
$1,000 can be raised by the sale OF tickets
5000 in number at so cents each. With the
$4,000 raised by these means an aggregation
OF players can be secured which will make
the Omaha organization one of the strong

ent, AN Admirer OF the Game OF Cricket" a"
His ideas of raising interest and money for
the Omaha Cricket Club have been tried and
found wanting. Past experience has shown
that cricket as at present constituted has
not enough of interest in 1t to draw the out
side public, and as q consequence outsiders
will no. support the game, financially or
otherwise. Let "An Admirer" begin at the
root OF the evil and work up, and not at
the other end and work down.
In my letter never stated that cricket
was becoming a back number either in
omaha or the United States What said
was that for various reasons given cricket
was fast becoming a back number in Scot
land, and in view of that fact 1t was not
surprising that in Omaha the game was not
full OF life and energy.
have no wish to enter into any contro-
versy with Mr.. Simms or others on cricket
matters, and only desire to correct any false
impressions which may have been formed by
his letters In misrepresenting what really
did say. HARRY LAWR1E.

WEATHER KEPT GAME AWAY
ing Out, but Saunders md Sharpe
Unable to Do Any Shooting.

Charles L. Saunders, deputy city treasurer,
and Harry Sharpe, deputy comptroller, gath
cred together certain divers and necessary
articles for a camping-out experience sew
eral days ago and betook themselves to a
favorite haunt at Kelley's lake, up the river
about sixteen miles. The climatic condi-
tions were ideal for pleasant outing, but,
to use the words of Mr. Saunders, "the
weather was too fine to permit OF any hunt
ing" Despite this fact, the outing was
hugely enjoyed. For three days Messrs.
Saunders and Sharpe divorced themselves
from all thoughts of municipal or other
affairs and devoted their attention entirely
in quest of rest and recreation. In this they
were successful until Sunday rolled around.
Then a number of Omaha friends, having
learned of their retreat descended upon
them and necessitated the obligations Incl
dent to entertaining hosts. Saunders and
Sharpe hustled about and prepared for their
visitors a sumptuous repast, arranging
menu for dinner which would arouse delight
in the most pronounced epicure. Even
though they had been disappointed in not
bagging a few choice pieces Of game, their
friends envied them the pleasant experience
they had enjoyed and the whole crowd was
Ioath to break up camp and return to town

PROFESSIONAL BASE BALL
Reorganization of Western Associn-
tiOn with Omaha as Leading
City of Circuit.

Local base ball enthusiasts-and there are
many of them in Omaha-are overioyed at
the prospects Of having professional team
in this city next season. Plans looking to-
ward the reorganization of the Western as
, sociation have been under way for some
weeks and present indications warrant the
prediction that no obstacle will be presented
sufficient to Illustrate them.
When the project was first broached word
was sent out from Omaha that this city
could be depended upon first last and all
the time, and because of this encouragement
given the promoters in the beginning, Omaha
is likely to be the most important city in
the circuit Shortly after the local season
closed last summer Buck Keith, the en-
thusiast of all enthuiasts, entered heartily
into preliminary arrangements with T. J.
Hickey of St. Joseph and other western base
ball magnates for the resuscitation of the
western association. He was encouraged in
this matter by reason of the great local in
terest manifested during the season then
just closed by Omaha and South Omaha
fans in the mediocre article Of ball put up by
the several local teams. If such enthusiasm
were aroused by teams having no especial
talent in the art of ball playing, Buck and
other local leaders argued that 1t would be
greatly increased by professional team.
Thomas Jefferson Hickey, the Nick Young
of western base balloon, was persuaded to
undertake the reorganization of the Western
association. He carried on correspondence
with number Of cities eligible by reason
Of their location to membership In such an
organization. Replies were so encouraging
that Hickey soon started on circuit of
several cities to interview personally the
base ball leaders and investigate the con-
ditions as they existed. He was in Omaha
last week and expressed himself as being
more than pleased with the outlook
At this time assurances have been given
that Omaha, Denver. Lincoln, Sioux City,
st. Joseph and Des Moines may be depended
upon as members of the circuit, with To-
peka, Pueblo, Cripple Creek, Davenport and
Peoria anxious to gain admittance. From
this number an eight-club circuit which
would be a wiuner can be formed 1t Is ex-
