TORNADO DEMoLIsHEs HoTEL.-A
tornado struck Carolina Beach, a resort
fifteen miles below Wilmington, n. c.,
at 9 o'clock Wednesday night and
wrecked the Oceanic Hotel, an old
structure used as a pavilion by excursion
parties and as hotel. Fourteen per-
sons out ofeighteen in the building at the
time of the disaster were injured, several
probably fatally. Rescuers came quickly
and worked in wind and rain with the
night black as ink, men and women cry
ing to be released from their places OF
imprisonment All were gotten out in
an hour, except Hampton Smith, a
young man who was pinned down by an
ice box and timbers. 1t took three
hours to cut him out and he begged
those trying to save him to kill him.
The injured were made as comfortable
as possible, but there was not a doctor
on the beach, and telephone communi-
:a:i n w;th Wil.l.n.t..H was cat Hff. A
nlesscnrer was seni - - .ia.iis: ~ on
foot to get passenger boat and physi-
clans, but the storm had blown so many
trees across the road that he made slow
progress. The wounded were taken to
Wilmington twelve hours after the ac-
cident and most of them were sent to
hospitals.

awaited him on both teams. .
Despite the early start in training which
some OF the conference colleges Of the mid
die west secured, there is so far very lit
tie to be said concerning these teams.
When the eastern schools start they start
hard, but not so in the west. Towit, but
seven men have so far appeared for practice
at Ann Arbor, though the squad was called
out ten days ago. That number does not
represent the actual returning strength OF
the Wolverines. Though only four Of last
years team are back so far, there will be
two more and several strong substitutes
shortly. School does not open there till
the coming Wednesday and evidently the
candidates are not so anxious about get
ting into the game as to put in an APP
pearance before time for classes. The first
week will undoubtedly bring out a great
many men, as the high standing of Michi-
gan in last years struggle for western
championship honors has given the game a
great boost at Ann Arbor and every big
and husky freshman will have g~ridiron as
pirations.
At Wisconsin things have not been quite
SO backward, but they were slow never
theless, as Coach King did not arrive on the
scene till last Wednesday. He found a
squad Of fifteen men and his own coming
out quickly brought 1t up to a score or
more. The Badgers have not done anything
toward team formation yet. They are still
shy the two halves and a tackle and tho
danger now is that a search for a center
and perhaps a guard will also be necessi-
tated by the failure Of the old men to come
back as expected.
naepffa fbia sInwnasa with which ma
terial is appearing at the two schools, Wis
cousin and Michigan, 1t may fairly be prog
nosticated now that they will have the
great teams of the Big Nine. Chicago,
Northwestern and Minnesota. the other
biggest ones Of that bunch, have certainly
to date nothing to build great hopes on.
So mutilated was the Gopher team that the
squad was started In training on September
1 last, earliest of any team in the coun-
try. The idea was that perhaps green
men could be transformed into players as
good as those with one seasons experience
by long preliminary practice. With three
men OF a first eleven left, Coach Williams
certainly has his hands full to make up
an experienced team.
Northwestern's prospects seem equally
dark. But four Of the old eleven will re-
turn to be the nucleus for a new team and
the new material which must be drawn
upon for the rest is not said to contain
many world heaters.
At Chicago university Stage has a better
showing than he had a year ago, but his
work so far has not developed any prom
ises Of a strong team. He also began work
very early and has already played two
practice games.
Beloit. Purdue and Notre Dame promise
fairly we'll. but Illinois State university is
the only one Of the Big Nine outside Of
Michigan and Wisconsin that has really
good prospects and there is little fear that
this team will class up with either the
Wolverines or Badgers.

pire Messmer saw the work. but would
not interfere. So fragrant VS. the act
that sven the Times referred It as n
piece Of dirty ball playing, ana haltingly
excused it on the ground that Denver had
been badly treated at Milwaukee. on the
occasion of Milwaukee's former visit to
Denver, the umpiring was so rank that
Duffy's men practically refused to play.
When Omaha was there the Rourkes got
similar doses. The Denver Post stated
that at least two games were stolen by
the umpire for the home team. 1t has
been the boast all season at Denver that
no visiting team could win a game on the
Broadway grounds, and that boast has
been made good. The treatment Of all
visiting teama by players, press and pub
lie has been outrageous. On the grounds
the visiting teams are pelted by hood
lums, who throw pop bottles and cushions,
stones and sticks. No umpire dare make
a decision against the home team, for the
police are only on the grounds to arrest
any visiting player who may be goaded
into making a protest against the actions
of the crowd. And the papers call Wis
itors all sorts of names. Now that the
season is nearly over the papers there
are making a hypocritical protest against
h~oodlumism, but the damage has been
done. Denver Is welcome to the PEN
nant and to any satisfaction that may
come from winning by the tactics adopted
but the course of the people out there
has not dvanced the cause Of base ball
in any way. And they needn't worry about
Omaha throwing games to Milwaukee or
any other team.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-09-21

Omaha will wind up the season in a posi-
tion that will satisfy everybody who has
watched the fortunes of the team closely
during the season. Misfortune has been
on the trail ever since the very beginning.
AS originally organized the Omaha team
easily demonstrated its superiority over
the rest OF the league. When everything
seemed plain sailing the bad luck began
to butt in. Dave Calhoun was crippled for
the season Just when his services were
most needed. Eddie Hickey met a success
sion of accidents which practically deprived
the team of his services all summer for
he has not been able to play up to his
mark, although he stuck to his work man
fully until finally forced out by the rup-
ture Of a tendon. Joe Dolan has met a
succession OF painful and annoying in
juries. Frank Genins and Bobby Carter
were both compelled to lay OF by hurts
received by playing. Johnny Gonding was
laid up a couple Of times and once both
he and Thomas we're out OF the game at
the same time, so that a young amateur
had to be pressed into service as catcher
for several games. Ace Stewart played
ball and wrestled with malaria at the same
time for several weeks, and now Stone is
out for good. These are merely incidents
OF the game Out lnulCdlo lne udhuiShp
under which the Omaha team labored dur
ing the season. Base ball OF the most sat
isfactory sort was served to thousands OF
delighted patrons, and no matter what the
final position Of the team In the standing
table, the players will be followed to their
homes at the close OF the season by the
good wishes OF all. They have made a gal
liant fight against big odds and have we'll

ISOLATION in the fact that Bloomer has

however, and Weymouth was, so the Blues

solve. Metcalf. last years first substitute

the season, but a stronger man is desired.
Among all the candidates not a good
kicker is in sight. Meanwhile the end po-
sitions will be well cared for, from present
prospects. Captain Neal of the freshman
team Of '0l and Coffin, Columbia's tackle a
year ago, are brilliant candidates for the
places vacated by Swan and Captain Gould.

cred the best foot ball catch from any
prep school this fall, and Captain Gardner
Of the Quaker team is equally insistent that
Shevlin has entered the University OF

tention has not yet appeared at either place.

Series by Asserting that One

What a cincb.
II Peoria could only have been induced to
stay until after election Omaha would
have won the p%ennant. But Billy Hart,
who is nothing il not a good fellow. said
1t wouldn't be fair to cheat Joe Quinn out
of his turn at a snap, and so he went over
TO Des Moines to dump a few more games.
Only one thing may be urged in support of
the Peoria performance here. Every other
team in the league has had a chance at
Peoria, and all taken full advantage Of it.
But it Is not sport. A pennant won by the
game played Thursday forenoon would have
a sickly appearance, almost as bad as that
which Denver expects to win by the un-
sportsman1ike methods pursued in that
town during the last year. Technically
the game is all right and will count at full
weight in the Omaha list Of victories, but
how little the public cares for such vic
tories has been proven by the slim at
tendance at the Peoria series and the sar-
castle comment made by the fans In talking
of the games. Base ball is dominated en-
tirely by the professional element, but the
game is generally conducted along the lines
OF true sport, a fact that makes the
present instance seem the more offensive.
No one is simple enough to believe that
three games would have been played in one
day IL there was any real prospect OF
Omaha losing any of them; and the GER
tainty Of the result destroys the interest in
the contest.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-09-21

One Of the really amusing things in con-
~nection with the windup Of the season is
the following paragraph from the Denver
Times:
II is a well known fact that there are no
teams i'm the league that are the equals OF
Milwaukee, and Omaha in their hatred OF
Denver. II Milwaukee gets into Omaha
and can be shown conclusively that she
has no chance for the pennant, the games
will be thrown to Omaha in order that the
Nebraska team can beat Denver out. or
II by any combination of circumstances
Milwaukee, reaches Omaha with a chance
for the ~pennant and Omaha Is out or II,
the games will be thrown to Milwaukee.
Only a few weeks ago when the Denver
team started on it's last trip away from
home, the Times printed several sensa-
tional screeds charging the team with
purposely losing games at Kansas City and
st. Joseph. The paragraph quoted was
written while Denver was pulling on two
games a day with Peoria and the Times
was boasting of what an easy thing the
home team had. Milwaukee, and Omaha
do not hate Denver, but they have ample
cause to complain of the treatment ae-
corded them at the home of the Grizzlies.
During the last Milwaukee series there
Manager Parke Wilson deliberately
blocked the visiting catcher at the plate

because they knew that while Omaha was
in town they would have clean, snappy
ball, played by men who would behave both
on and off the field. In this the players
who have worn the Omaha uniform this
summer have won more than a pennant.
and have brought more credit to the name
OF the city than if they had won the cham
pionship twice over. They may not wear
the Omaha uniform next year, but they will
all be welcome here at any time.
Peoria's presence in Omaha added but
little to the batting averages Of the Omaha
team. but only the great Stone shows any
appreciate drop. Frank Genins leads the
list, with seventeen s~afeties during the
week, and Bobby Carter is low man, with
six. Gonding had sixty chances in the ten
games and accepted them all. The stalls
