,TTIHs AVERAGES OF HER LAST YEAR

with that portion Of hts coming cham
pions that had arrived, your Pa went out
to Vinton park Monday morning bright
and early and began the seasons work.
The grass was turning green and the sky
blue, the breeze was softly blowing and
the boys steaming, impatient to get up
against the bits. 1t was a stirring sight,
almost thrilling. Pa looked like the old
woman In the shoe and each of his boys
like a pennant itself. Omaha never looked
so good at the beginning of a season.
Every day, morning and afternoon, up to
the time play begins Pa and his boys will
be out at the big lot training.
Here are the batting averages Of this
years team made last season in their re-
spective LEAGUES:

Burlington Surveyors busy.

CASPER, Wyo., March 25-Cspecial) ,
Surveying parties for the Burlington rail-
road are again working in various sections
OF the state and the prospect for a new
line through Casper during the present
year is considered good. A party now in
the field between Douglas and Guernsey
and another west Of Casper lends color
to the report that the Burlington will ex-
tend its North Platte river line west from
Guernsey to Worland. passing through
Douglas, Casper and Thermopolis. The
large amount Of business gained by the
Northwestern from it's Casper-Lander ex-
tension last year and the rapid develop
ment Of this part of the state is attract
ing attention OF capital In many Industrial
lines and the railroads are after their share
OF the benefits.

Finurps Look Good.

ElRuFHH LOOK HOOus
These figures afrord some rich food for
thought and consideration. There. for in
stance, is Aubrey batting only ZIG in the
Western association and 81 in the West
ern league; better in fast company than
with the minors White, in the same league
where Aubrey hits .276, bats .2s9. Does
this signify that White win make corre-
spending gain in the faster company II
so he will be even more welcome than is
now expected, and everybody anticipates
good results from the little fellow. He
was the star at short for three successive
seasons in the Western association, and
while may play second instead Of short
for Omaha, he is expected to continue his
stellar work. Autrey's finish in Omaha
last season was remarkable and satisfac-
tory to a degree.
Now, right at the outset, let the Knock
ers' club hold a meeting and decide on its
attitude toward Joe Dolan, only let its
action be guided by common sense and
facts of record. The record, which Is no
kinder to Dolan than any other man in
the business, shows him to have finished
the season at .321, twenty-one points above
the great batter" line. As TO his fielding
he led the Western league first basemen.
And Joe says he is in finer form today
than at the beginning of any season for
| four or five years. The chances are the
old fellow will be there to bat in many
and many a needed run this season as his
was last

Of luck at the bat last season. He is q

On the coast he had a much longer season
than they have here, playing In 175 games.
Welch, doubtless, will bat better and field
better this season than ever, for the simple
reason that he is a better ball player thar
he ever was. and with finish of 343 al

Gull? Bender. Belden and Austin have

Mr.. Michaelsen said that the 500 electric

exhaust the fund, considering the gas
lamps at $2S each, which price is now in

DRUG STORE BILL GOES IN
ordinsncs Regulating Sale Of LIQUOR
Recommended for PASSAGE by Council.
STREET CAR CUT RATES KNOCKED OUT
Mayor DahIman's Plan of Converting
Market House Into Public
baths Loses as Against
Sale.

The city council, meeting yesterday after
noon as a committee of the whole, voted
TO recommend for passage this evening an
ordinance introduced by Councilman Han
sen to regulate the sale Of intoxicating
liquors In drug stores. In substance this
ordinance requires that druggists receive
a physicians prescription every time liquor
Is sold for medicinal purposes and a pro-
hibition is placed on the display of liquors
by druggists and the drinking of liquors
I'm drug stores.
Notwithstanding this ordinance was re-
commended by the committee Of the whole
by vote Of to 4, it is not believed the
measure win be passed this evening. as It
takes seven votes to pass an ordinance
and It is understood that six members Of
the council are opposed to the prescription
clause In the ordinance.
Councilman zimman's drug store ordl-
nance which did not contain the prescrip-
ton clause was laid on the table. During
the discussion Councilman Elsasser said he
knew of a drug store were eighty three
bottles OF liquor were sold in one day.
Mr.. Bridges ordinance requiring the
street railway company to sell six tickets
for % cents was voted down by the COM
mittee.
Ice Dealers Make Fight.
Judge Baxter appeared before the COM
mittee as attorney for the South Omaha
Ice and Coal company and to secure
an amendment to a recent ordinance
requiring that ice dealers take out license
for each wagon at a cost of so per wagon.
The Judge thought $40 excessive and the
committee concurred in that opinion by
agreeing to redude the charge to IS, as the
intention was to regulate the ice traffic
rather than ~ a
revenue-bearing matter. Judge Baxter said
the company he represented would have
about sixty wagons in service when the ice
business was good.
DRhImnn IL Turned Down.
Mayor Dahlman presented his plan to
make a public bath house of the old market
house on Capitol avenue. The councilmen,
however, believed such a scheme not prac-
tioable and voted 20 recommend for passage
a pending ordinance to advertise the mar
ket house for sale, the buyer to remove the
building forever from the sight OF the
councilmen.
