SOME FOOD FOR THE FANS
What the National League M%agnatcs
Did Last Week and other
Base Ball News.

The spring meeting of the base ball nabobs
of the major league has passed into history
without creating as great an earthquake in
base ball circles as was generally antici-
pated. The circuit was cut down neither to
eight nor to ten clubs, but the way was left
open for a reduction. Another meeting was
scheduled to occur shortly after the sale OF
the st. Louis property and it was intimated
that II the Browns passed into the proper
hands the circuit would be cut down to ten
stations, Cleveland and Baltimore being
named as the ones to be dropped. In the
meantime a schedule for a ten-club league
will be arranged sub rosa to be used in
case Of emergency. This situation explains
why the magnates failed to adopt a schedule
at the recent gathering.
The st, Louis squabble occupied a good
part OF the attention OF the nabobs. A
scheme to put Won der Abe on the shelf
by suspending the club for a technical viola
ton OF the rules and regulations was slated,
but a resolution was passed that the pur-
chaser will not be entitled to club mem
bership without proper admission thereto in
accordance with the leagues constitution. ="
This is a quiet tip to Tom LOTUS and others
who are intending to bid for the st. Louis
assets that they must See the nabobs
before they can break into the circuit.
The rules as commended by the rules
committee. which were published in this
column last Sunday, were adopted with one
exception. The rule providing that a ball
hit over the fence 2S5 feet from the home
plate should entitle the batsman to only two
bases, which was lined more or less at the
Boston club, was knocked out.
The Brush rOwdy resolution Of last season
90 ~ In FaE n - -
changed. AS II now stands it provides. first,
the making of sworn charges against an
offender TO the president OF the league:
second, these sworn charges must be sent
to every league magnate; third, If three
fourths OF the magnates deem the case of
such a nature as to require severe action the
matter may then be sent to the board OF
discipline upon a mailed vote, nine OF the
twelve members Of the league voting for
the sustaining of the charges.
In connection with this regulation OF the
conduct of players the following stringent
rule was adopted:
section 2S-The president Of the league
shall have power upon proof TO suspend for
a definite period and to impose a fine not
exceeding 5000 upon any league manager or
player guilty in public of gross misbehayior.

OMAHISNEW ATHLETIC FIELD
Young Mems Christian Association Will
Build it This Spring.
AHES AVENUE BALL PARK THE PLACE
Plans Being Drawn and work to De
Commenced Soon-Otbcr SPORT
ing Events Of Interest to
the Local sports.

During the coming athletic season Omaha
will have what II has long lacked-an ade-
quately- equipped field where the rising
youth Of the city may plant their feet upon
the first round OF the ladder that leads to
athletic fame and renown. The Ames ave-
nue. bail park will furnish the material out
OF which these grounds are to be built and
the Young Mems Christian association will
be the builder. The work will be com
menced in the next few weeks, the plans OF
the grounds being under consideration at
the present time.
The new grounds will be put in shape for
any and all forms Of sport. There Is to
be a third OF a mile bicycle track. which
can also be used by runners and sprinters.
a base ball field will be mapped out and in
the fall an excellent %gridiron will be fash
toned. There are 20 be tennis courts, a
hand ball court, room for quoits and ample
space for all sorts Of field events. 1t is not
expected that the Young Mems Christian
association will be financially able to build
as good a club house as could be desired this
year, but a good makeshift will be erected.
This will contain shower baths and dress
ing rooms.
The plans of this athletic field, as has
been stated, are being considered now, and
after a set is adopted and the weather will
permit, the work of building the field will
be commenced and it will be pushed so that
the grounds can be ready for use early in
the spring. 1t will cost somewhere between
s 1900 and 1000 to put the field into the
proper shape and this money has been raised
by the Young Mems Christian association by
subscription from the bicycle dealers and
other merchants of the city.
when we get through we will have the
finest athletic field west of Chicago" en-
Enthusiastically remarks Director of Athletics
Barnes of the Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION, Omaha young men have long
needed a field upon which they might enjoy
all sorts of sport and we propose to fur
nish them with one. While a little way
from the heart of the city, the Ames avenue
ball park furnishes a field that with little
trouble can be transformed into ideal ath-
letic grounds and we propose to make them
as perfect as possible.
"With this new field l believe that you
can look for a revival of amateur sport in
this city during the coming season. The
Young Mems Christian association itself will
have a base ball and foot ball team in their
appropriate seasons. We propose to have
quite a program Of sports during the year.
Every Saturday afternoon we will have BIZ
cycle races, field events or a ball game.
With such an impetus there is no reason to
think other than that Omaha will reach the
level occupied by other cities Of its size in
amateur sports"

The discovery Of oil Of mustard upon
the gloves of Jack Bonner in the arena of
the Lenox Athletic club last week, whereby
Tommy West was almost blinded and would
have been knocked out had not the referee
at once stopped the mill and awarded the
decision to him, is almost everywhere hailed
as one OF the underhanded lodges resur-
rected from the old palmy days when every
thing went and men won by foul means If
they could not by fair. 1t may be, though,
hat the whole thing vas an accident, made
possible under excitement. In New Or
leans in 1898, when Fitz had his memorable
fight with Jim Hall. Fitz came back to his
corner in the third round in an excited
frame Of mind. One of his seconds lost
his head and broke a bottle Of ammonia in
the bucket of water with which the present
champion was to have sponged off. The
second forgot about the ammonia, and,
plunging the sponge in the bucket, was in
the act Of passing it over the eyes and
nostrils of F~itzsimmons. Another man
caught his arm in the nick of time, other
wise the blacksmith would have been
blinded. 1t is quite possible that in some
such way one OF Bonner's seconds may have
spilled the oil of mustard upon his fighters
gloves.

Terrible Experience of a Skating
Party on Lake Michigan.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-After being adrift
on an ice foe in Lake Michigan for
over fifteen hours, the five people who
were carried out Sunday evening by
the breaking of the ice were rescued
and it is not expected that any Of them
will be much the worse for the expert
ence Young Arthur Fletcher, who
made an heroic effort to bring them
ashore in his boat and who padded
around all night in the frail craft, did
not fare so well, both his feet being
badly frozen. 1t is expected that he
will be a cripple for life.
The names of those saved are:
Elmer ID. Brothers, attorney; Miss
Oral Manley, II years old. niece of
Brothers; Chauncey Manley, brother
in-law Of Brothers. Guy Carron, stu
dent Of Lake Forest university, Lake
Forest; George Mallory, student of

daylight by two young men who had
ventured nearly four miles from the
shore in search Of the missing persons.
and were Joined a few minutes later
by Captain Fountain and several of
the oarsmen Of the life-saving crew,
from the mouth Of the Chicago river.
Miss Oral Manley, the only Girl in
the party, was unconscious from the
cold and exposure, and the rescuers
were obliged to carry the insensible
body of the half-frozen young woman
to land. But the four men, though stiff
and frost-bitten, were still able to walk
and with the help of the members of
the band of life-savers they were
quickly hurried ashore.
