Omaha fans think they see ray Of light

aging in all departments. The batting and
fielding has been superb and only the pitch
ing has been below par. With the defense
practically perfect, and the attack only
weak In ole element It is not too much
to expect that Omaha will give the leaders
a much tighter race than they have yet
had. The pitchers are all doing better
work. Dodge is showing more signs OF
being a ball player than at any time dur
ing the season, and Corns, prior to the
accident at Sioux City. was doing spien>
didly. He will be laid up till the team gets
home by his injured leg, but will then be
ready to go into the game with a winning
arm. McNeeley Is taking better care OF
himself, and ought to be a winner from
now on Saunders, Of course, Is keeping
up the gait he struck early in the season.
and Ayers the new man, is likely to pull
of something before the end Of the sea-
son. All in all. the outlook is good for
Omaha. Herman Longs handling OF the
team on the field has been quite satisfac-
tory. and the fact that Omaha Is keeping
in the race is still in the minds Of its loyal
supporters.

the echoes Of the controversy as to which
institutions brawny students won the
greatest honors during the season. I'M
doubtedly the mythical laurel wreath falls
to Cornell. The Ithaca athletes swept up
victories on land and water this spring in
two or three branches of sport prominent
in the closing months of college life. The
progress shown by Cornell in athletics
within the last year especially proves con-
clusively that the Ithaca university is fast
taking a prominent place among the in
situations OF the east in the field of sports
as we'll as learning. To win the inter-
collegiate track meet and the intercol-
legiate rowing races and to come near the
top in base ball Is a record of which
Comedians may well be proud. Cornell
has for several years enjoyed the position
Of prominence In the water that Yale en-
joys on the gridiron. but until recently it's
base ball and track teams have not as
pired so high. Time was when the red
and white would send a team Of six men
to the Mott Haven games. Maybe a high
jumper or a hammer thrower would score
points for his college, but that was about
all. That is why the collegiate world was
JOlted a bit when Cornell actually carried
on the meet in 1906 and then again in 1906.
1t will be case of lookout for the Cor
nell runners hereafter. The Ithacans are
still weak in foot ball, however, but they
will undoubtedly improve there, too. The
victory OF Cornell at Cambridge and again
at Poughkeepsie this year gives It undis-
puted right TO the title Of premier honors
in rowing, The Cornell eight was the
flower Of the land. Pennsylvania also had
a fine eight and probably ranks second
with Harvard or Syracuse third. AS far
as the crimson Is concerned, the Cam
bridge crew this year was the best ever
turned out at the university on the
Charles. The Cornell base ball nine barely
missed making as good a showing as the
other two Ithaca university teams. 1t lost
its most important games by very close
scores.
Omaha daily bee., 1906-07-15

To Princeton must be given the credit of
turning out the strongest combination on
the diamond. The loss of the final game
OF the season to Pennsylvania. after one
defeat OF Pennsylvania, and two straight
victories over Harvard and Yale, was the
only thing that marred the brilliant show
ing OF the orange and black. But perhaps
the Tigers let or some steam after clinch-
ing the Harvard and Yale games. Yale
earned the right OF second place by virtue
OF its two triumphs over Harvard and It's
victory over Cornell. Cornell, which
whipped Harvard, comes third and Har-
yard fourth. Columbia and Pennsylvania
are seen somewhere in the vista Of the
base ball background. Altogether this has
been a most remarkable and successful
year for college athletics. The races for
the championship in each branch Of sport
have been well run and hotly contested.
Interest has never been allowed TO lag and
the teams that have won first honors have
done so on their merits.

During the week Ducky Holmes allowed
his peevish disposition to put him in de-
cidedly awkward position before the ad-
miring public, He was betrayed into the
oarelessness of taking a swift punch at the
features of one Ira Stats Davis, who hap
pens to be an ump on the staff of President
O'Neill. For this oversight the president
has strung UP Ducky indefinitely, and
Ducky is now over on his Iowa farm paying
OF the hands and looking around the crops.
1t is too bad that Mr.. Holmes should have
forgotten that he is now a magnate and
not a player, and that the dignity Of his
new position carries with Il some RESPONSE
bilities, among which is one that requires
that he should forego the pleasure of tax
ing a punch at an Jump simply because he
disagrees with him. Mr.. Holmes had a
long and In some degree notable career in
connection with various big league clubs.
and It is not all likely that he can recall
an instance in which the manager or
owner of the team ever swung on an ump
They do those things much better In the
big league, and Ducky must have noted It.
1t is the players right exclusively, and
Is denied to the magnats even though he
combine with his managerial position the
attributes OF a player. It would have been
much nicer for Ducky to have suggested
to some OF hts angelic band, Jack Thomas
for example. that punch in the snoot
might have some effect on the jumps de-
cisions on balls and strikes and then 70

Chicago Is surely making good In the Ma
tional league, and IL now Is certain that
only a complete reversal Of form can pre-
vent the Cubs from winning the coveted
championship. The team Is in good shape
in all departments and the pitchers are
working well. with the exception Of Pfeister.
He continues to win his games, but is not
sent In often enough. The inference is
that he is still suffering from the ailment
that incapacitated him early in the spring.
All the others are doing splendid work,
while the hitting Of the team is terrific.
The average for last week was .266, a win
ming clip. With its present makeup Chi
cago looks to be good for at least three
years at the top of the list. Chance has
splendid machine framed up. with a
bunch OF pitchers that are sure to get bet
ter right along. Steinfeld is the only man
on the team likely to go back. and II is
not at all probable he will slow up until
after next season. With Hoffman ready
to go In at any point, the danger Of acct
dent is more than accounted for, and II
isn't an extravagant prophecy to say that
Chicago will lead next year as It has this
and the next, too, for that matter. In the
meantime the Giants will have TO be re-

Whatever else may be said OF Stats Davis,
this much is true: He has the correct idea
OF the umpire's relation to the game, and
he insists on living up to il. He draws no
distinctions when players get disorderIy
oat quickly administers the rebuke. He
was a somewhat unruly player himself
and he knows the Tx thoroughly and never
lets the outbreak get beyond the Fremont
tory symptoms. The effect this has on the
game is that with Davis I'm charge the

respect the hning of players would soon
