time In national tournaments bowlers
will be allowed to roll all three events In
two days, thereby entailing a detention
OF but three days from business for play
ers within 800 miles. The plan this year
is to have a man roll his team games at
night, his doubles the following morning
and his singles in the afternoon, The
FIRST balls will be thrown at o'clock in
the morning and the last before II o'clock
at night Bowling politicians are busy
laying plans and it looks as though Phila-
delphia viii be chosen as the next meeting
place.
Memphis fans were commenting on the
fact that Johnny McGraw did not bring
his Giants to Memphis with him, but came
ahead of them. ITO get things ready
for their reception, Of course" said one.
It is part of McGraw's policy not to mix
too freely with his players when of the
diamond. 1t is in the same line with the
rule governing the umplres. They are not
allowed to travel with players nor associ-
ate with them in any way except on the
field. The reason for this Is obvious. Personal
friendships between an umpire and certain
players would hardly work to the good
Of impartial umpiring. An umpire would
be bound to play favorites, even involun-
tarily. McGraw treats all his men ex-
aetly alike, from his pitching marvel,
| Christy Mathewson, down to the newest
| and rawest recruit. There is no favoritism.
| Social gatherings when of duty might
have a tendency to beget obligations, real
or fancied. That is why McGraw gives
them no chance to exist In the home
i club house McGraw has a dressing room
TO himself. The general on the battle
! field, the one on whom depends the success
or failure of the entire action, the fate
of a nation, perhaps, does not mix with
his men except to issue orders. If he did
he'd be Of little use to an army. The most
cordial relations exist between McGraw and
his champions and they are proud Of him.

Numerous parties of hunters left Omaha
yesterday for a crack at the festive water
| fowl along the historic Platte. The mild
| winter has brought these birds north early
this year and many good bags have been
made by Omaha hunters who have already
| made trips into the state, visiting the
| Platte and some Of the marsh counties.
| Some have conscientious scruples against
shooting the birds in the spring when they
| are going north to nest and will not take
their guns from the rack while others use
the argument that a duck killed is
duck killed. whether It is in the spring
or In the fall, and shoot just as freely
in the spring as in the fall Some states
have laws against spring shooting, but
the laws of Nebraska are silent upon that

states to have uniform laws made to gov

been accomplished.
An effort ia being made by the lovers of a
good horse race in Omaha to have a date
on the Nebraska circuit. When the an
nual meeting was held at the Merchants
hotel in January the directors Of the asso-
citation gave the Omaha men to understand
that a date could be had on the circuit If
the local men would perfect some sort Of
an organization and hang up the purses
Several of the local owners have been in
teresting themselves during the last week
and several schemes have been preached
to accomplish the end. One was to organ
ize a stock company among the horse own
ers and members Of the Omaha Driving
club. so the expense would be light on each,
with the probability of the dates paying
out. A latter scheme is to have the back
ing OF the Commercial club and to interest
the Jobbers in the meet Nothing definite
was done. Omaha has a good half-mile
track. with part Of a grandstand which
could be fixed up at small expense. There
are plenty OF people in Omaha who delight
to see a good horse race and the horses
which will follow the Nebraska circuit
should be good enough to draw large
crowds in city like Omaha. The meet
would surely bring plenty Of outsiders to
the city, for even the smaller towns IN the
state which hold meets are crowded 70
