HUNTERS FIND MUCH WAFER
Birds still Plentiful, hut spring
Floods BahHe h Man
who wades.

Everyone is going hunting these days,
but they all sneak home and tell their
friends and wives hat IL was purely a bust
ness trip and that they took their guns
along with the hope that they might slip
out and bag a bird or two II they got the
chance. The chancel That is the keynote
of the situation. The birds are there In
clouds. but they fly high and sit out in the
middle of the lakes and rivers as safe as a
man with an accident policy. They can
be reached with q twelve-gague or a ten
gague gun, and hunters that have been out
and tried declare that they will discard
their shotguns next time they go out. and
carry d small cannon so they can reach
them.
When they get confidential one hears long
tales of the returned Nimrods OF cold, wet
nights spent in the open with nothing but
d pipe to keep one warm. and OF blinds hat
are way out of reach OF the birds. 1t Is
painful for them to tell 1t, for they all unite
in saying that there are ducks, and more Of
them than ever before. The rivers are too
high and the islands that used to be used
for blinds are all submerged. The banks
are wet and nasty and veritable boys, with
hardly a place to be found nat will make a
blind.
A few have come home with bags that are
not very lame, and they say that the secret
OF their success Is the fact that they we're
at Clarks or Bancroft. At both OF these
places the ducks are more accessible and
some fair bags have been brought in. Until
the waters go down some more, they de-
clare, there won't be much hunting any
where but at these two points.

AUTOMOBILE CLUBS CAMPAIGN
BubbIers Expect 60 Have n
busy TIme on Country
Roads.

This Will be a bright year for automobile
enthusiasts in Omaha II all accounts are
not false. When winter put an end to the
sport last year Omaha boosted only about
forty machines, but with the irst breath
OF spring this year new d~evotees appeared
on the scene and they promise to make this
a red letter year for chaffeurs and the auto
masks. BY fall they will have increased
omaha's automobiles to over 200 and the
Automobile club will be much more than a
name. Already the Automobile club Of
Omaha is preparing TO have a run. Captain
Frederickson of the club expects 10 call It
within the next two weeks. II will probably
be an evening run out to Florence or somo
other nearby town and will cover from
fifteen to twenty miles. As the season pro-
crosses the runs will be heightened and
will extend into the country more and
more.
But runs are merely a part Of the routine
and there will be many spring and summer
days when parties with two or three car
riages will take a jaunt Of thirty or forty
miles out In the country and back again.
Fremont will be one of the main points
that autOists will aim for on their long
trips, as the spirit has been fostered there
and the city boasts a score Of autos itself.
Some talk is rampant OF including them
in the local club or Of having them organize
and meet with them from time to time and
participate in their runs.
Socially the automobile is a possibility
and many Is the run that will be taken
out to the Country club and the Field club
for an evening luncheon and out into the
country and back again for a little in
formal dance before coming home again.

BASE BALL HOT At CREIGHTON
Omaha,s own Comes to the Front with
Much Zeal and Plans Big
Campaign.

Base ball at Creighton university took a
sudden leap into favor last week when the
weather gave them the nrst opportunity OF
praeticinE on Creighton field. While they
have been prseticing In the cage ever since
the last OF February the real work lay
shead Of them after they could once prae-
tlee in the open.
Wednesday. which was the first time they
praoticed out OF doors, there were about
twenty men out. half of whom donned their
suits. And you should have seen the old
men. Weloh and Eddie Creighton. who
both helped out Omaha al odd intervals last
year. and did SOM good work, helping.
Then there was o'Hanlon. Golfer, Brown,
Kehoe and o'Keefe. There was a goodly
bunch OF youngsters, too, some from last
years second team and some that never
played here before.
The six weeks that they speat IN the cage
under the direction Of "Jawnie" Gonding
showed. too. when they began 10 work.

BoWLERS GOING TO LINCOLN
state Meet of the BAH Rollers IL At
tracing Much Attention
in OmahR.

Little has been doing in bowling circles
the last week beyond the practice that the
cranks have been taking from day to day in
preparation for the coming tournament at
Lincoln. The feeling among the local
bowlers is that they will have to work hard
to carry away the ~Iaurels, as Lincoln has
been making some records on their home
alleys that are marvellous, and they will
play on these same alleys.
The Indians, a Lincoln team, has only
Loot three out of hfty-seven league games
this season and the three that they lost
found their team with two substitutes in It.
For the high score for three successive
games in league contests Thomas OF the
Indians made a total score Of 1913 points,
and a week later Meakins, another Lincoln
shark, made 797 under similar circum-
stances. The best that has been done in
Omaha, in comparison with this, Is very
light, Harry Reed holding IL with a total
Of 67s pins.
To the omahas the local people look for
the most Of the success that will be gained
by local men at the tournament. The team
will be the same as II was during the
season. with the exception OF Reed. All
winter II has played a wonderfully con-
sistent game, seldom making a large score,
but always playing until the last ball was
rolled and pulling more games out OF the
fire than they care TO think Of.
Reed and Emery have paired on for the
two men contests at the tournament and
should make a strong pair, and perhaps
the best that Omaha win have II dope Is
correct. They had an average during the
season OF 17s and 1855 respectively. Hunt
ington and Marble and carp and Lehman
will also play as two men teams. Their
averages for the league season we're 1T and
17s and 17s and 173. These three teams
are all strong aud are composed OF old
bowiers who should play a steady and close
game.

ATHLETICS AT THE UNIVERSITY
Base Ball Men Unable to Get Much
Needed Outdoor Practice,
but All CHEEKY.

During the last week the members Of the
Nebraska base ball squad have had little
chance to do anything at all on the field for
outdoor practice. The teams which Ne
braska is TO meet this season are making
rapid progress, and some OF them have had
practice in position for a couple Of weeks.
while the Cofnhuskers had to delay actual
practice in the lineup on sides until last
Wednesday. The lateness Of selecting the
team has put the Nebraskans to quite a dis
Advantage, which can be overcome only by
diIigent work from now on. Wednesday
afternoon thirty men we're out for practice.
Coach Gordon divided the squad into two
groups and all the candidates we're given
an opportunity to show what they could
do. Bender was not out and the catching
stunt was done by Whitcomb and Wilson.
Whitcomb is a sure man behind the mask,
and no excitement Of the game can put him
on his guard. Wilson also did some neat
work In that position, Some artistic throw
ing was done by Better. who saved hve
men the trouble of going to FIRST. 1t seemed
almost impossible to touch him. Longaek-
pecker aeemed a hard man to get onto and
four men were very neatly famed by him.
Ling and Morse also famed two men each
aud Thompson one. There was some pretty
stin batting done by Hood, Wilson. J. r.
Johnson. Wright. Townsend and Cook. Dur
ing the practice six scores we're made.
Hood was credited with two, Gaddis two.
Burg one and Cook one. Bonnet" Hood
and Ramsey held down third in a most
creditsble manner. Some good nAeld work
was lone. johnson and steen did neat
work at stopping. g~rounders. and for the
nigh balls" Gaddis. Sinner. Burg and

Money Invested in Printing.

From the Scientific American
The average capital of those engaged in
the printing business is s12574; the aver
age value of their products is Sl4, $50. These
figures compared with those of a previous
decade show that in a period of ten years
an increased capital is required to produce
the same or even smaller value of products;
this is largely caused by an increase in
wages and decrease in working hours. In
1850 compostor In New York received 50
per week; ordinary job compositors now re-
ceive $3.50 per week. and operators on ma
chimes from $24 to s27, depending on the
time of day or night they take their shift.
In the opinion of many large operators, the
number of wage-earners has actually in
creased rather than diminished. The intro
duction of machine composition has been Of
decided benefit to the employee, Offering a
new field for endeavor. There are few un-
employed men In the printing trade. as is
shown by the fact that when in 1900 the
Typographical Union was called upon to
supply $50 men for special job of city
printing. only 100 could be obtained, and
