FOR LOVERS OF GUN AND ROD
Little Gossip AbOut Men and Things
Pertaining to the Shot Gun
and the Fish Pole.

The season of the ducks and the geese
ought to be in full blast in this section of
the country, but seems to be supplanted
by the everlasting winter with which the
weather man persists in inficting Omaha.
Conditions are not so unsatisfactory further
to the west. The sand hills are still frozen,
but the western length of the Platte has
become open and the sportsmen out in that
section of the country send in eXasperating
reports of the big flights OF ducks and
geese. These announcements are becoming
so numerous that the local hunters are seri-
ously considering the advisabiity of passing
up their duck grounds hereabouts and max
ing incursions into the wilderness.
During the last week or so local hunters
have been making trips up and down the
river and to nearby lakes, but they all re-
turn with the same tale of woe. Judge Ives,
M. G. Peters and NJ. A. Hall took trip to
Quinnebaugh and came back with hardly
enough birds to make a division. Frank
Smith and Billy Marsh Weiseman, Walter
Watt and Charley Curtis were among those
who dallied about Florence lake and the
river to the north of the city, but they re-
turned with less than a duck apiece Frank
Vanderburg, the telephone man, reaped the
biggest harvest of all by securing a bag of
twenty-seven birds.
Billy Brewer and C. w. Bishop formed a
pair that took little trip up the river a
week ago. They tramped around all day
without getting within gunshot of brace.
Finally, however a flock of seven or eight
redheads alighted among the decoys that the
two were guarding and their eyes watered
at the opportunity that was offered them.
Let me take shot at EN-" whispered
Brewer, and Bishop assented. Billy leveled
MS gun and blazed away at them, but the
Whole bunch Of birds climbed the air, not
one remaining behind, although Brewer sent
the other barrel after them. That was the
last chance of the day An investigation
developed that Brewer had no charge in his
gun.

Jack Boyle, the veteran backstop, who
was released by the Quakers last season,
has been offered Cincinnati contract. 1t
is not believed, however, that he is intended
to grace the windpad of the Reds, but that
he is to be farmed out to Indianapolis. II
such is the case a scrap is likely to take
place between the Hoosiers and Jimmy Man
ming, for the latter has claimed Boyle for
the Kansas City team.

Another storm center of the squabbling
is New York City. Andy Goose Freedman
Is apparently in the fight for keeps. He
absolutely refuses to satisfy Rusie, Meekin
and Seymour, the trio of pitchers who have
gone on a strike, and as fatfootedly re-
fuses to release or sell them to any other
club He has taken no steps whatever to
boost up the outfield of the Giants, which
is admitted to be the weakest in the whole
league. The team is so short of men that
a regular practice cannot be played. Those
who have watched Freedman's actions de-
clare that all this is with purpose. They
insist that he wants his team TO be so weak
that no other of the clubs will get a whac5
at the former big gate receipts in the
metropolis simply In order to play even
with the magnates for the Sights they put
upon him in the past. But Monsieur Freed
man is likely to suffer the experience OF the
man who bit off his nose to spite his face,
for the fans will unquestionably patronize
the games of the Trolley Dodgers in prefer
ence to witnessing those of the Giants.
Freedmans base ball expenses for the year
are estimated to be 100000, and he him
self will have to stand more loss than any
other of the magnates, for there are other
base ball towns in the country besides New
York.

has stepped go gracefully into the vacant
place that already his praise sounds On
the lips of those who so recently mourned
the demise of his predecessor The posi-
ton of Leon Hermann would be a trying
one were he not so well equipped for IL.
Not only does this magician bear the clos
est outward resemblance to his dead uncle,
which is in itself a trade mark of value,
brit ,e possesses to almost the same degree
the subtlety that is so much in the black
art" In Europe he was Hermann the
Great" as was his relative in America,
and those who have seen him. yield at
once his claim to the right of succession.
He gives promise of perpetuating his name
and OF capturing hearts with the same ir-
resistible charms OF amiability. generosity
and pleasant wit that characterized the
late Alexander.
Adelaide Hermann continues to be a
striking feature of the trickster's perform
ances. She is one OF the most graceful
dancers in the country and has made such
a careful study of the effects to be pro-
duced BY electric calciums that her work
is nothing less than marvellous. The pos
sibilities of combinations of violet, rose
and green have been fairly exhausted by
Adelaide Hermann, and during her dances
one hears constant exciamations of sur
prises and delight at these magnificent
color effects. The illusions made famous
by Alexander Herman are still part OF
