FAIR FOR WISE MEMORIAL
old-FashhOned May Pole Dance to Re
a Feature of Two Weeks Banar
to Raise $4,000.

A real May pole dance Of the "old-fash-
ioned" kind is to be feature of the big
fair and bazar which will be given by the
Wise Memorial hospital committee at the
Krug theater for two weeks beginning
May l. This May pole dance will be given
on the stnge Of the theater and will be
conducted by Prof. Chambers, who prom
ises to make It the hit of the fair
This idea was conceived by Mrs ]. Son
nenberg, president of the Wise directorate.
Mrs. sonnenberg, perhaps better than any
other person in Omaha, knows a real May
pole dance and how 1t should be conducted
Despite the big amount of work she has
undertaken in connection with the raising
Of $4,000 for the new wing to the hospital
she still finds time to assist in working out
details.
The committee will meet Monday to take
up the donation work. This is being sys-
tematizcd and the merchants and other
business men OF the city will receive a call
Additional tenders of service and patronage
are coming daily from the women Of the
city and the patronesEes of the bazar will
include many leaders OF Omaha society.
Interest in towns surrounding Omaha has
also been aroused in the new annex and
several inquiries from the outside have
been received.

exhibition season for the Omaha fans was
on and the storz and Omaha Western
league teams lined up for the first game
Of the season before about 100 fans, who
saw the local Brewers waloped by the
score OF 12 to 2.
Pas Colts showed the effect Of the hard
weeks work they have had under ideal
training conditions and played with less
errors than did the amateurs. who did
quite well when II is considered that they
have had no chance to practice as yet.
Each team used three pitchers and these
were the only changes made In the lineup
during the game, as the players In the
other positions played all the way through.
Pat Ragan pitched three innings for the
Storz and more hits wero made off his
delivery than off any OF the other pitchers,
but It was not entirely the fault Of Patrick,
as he was putting them over hard Three
OF the runs made In the sixth inning off
Ragan were made after he had struck out
thn third man.
Dovce pitched three innings and held
them without a score and with but two
hits. Sindclar pitched the next three and
held the Brewers TO one hit. That was
double by Pat Ragen and it followed bad
grounder into Fox, which cost the first
run The second run was made by Gibson,
who drew a pass from Hanson, stole sec
ond and scored on Drunimy's single.
Bruggeman pitched the last two innings
for the storz and held the Rourkes without
run, but one single being made off his
delivery. Mclean at short had an off day
and was responsible for considerable of
the damage done, as he had four errors
charged to his account.

to Young Fellows.


NEW YORK, March 2S.-Jimmy Austin
of the New York American league team
and formerly OF Omaha has this bit Of
play third base:
Third base Is one of the hardest posi-
ticns to play on ball club. 1t not only
requires the development of the mind, much
along the same lines of pitcher, but il
Is also necessary that an aspirant for the
station Of guardian of the near bag should
be fast on his feet an accurate fielder
and fast thrower, who can toss the bali
across the diamond from any position.
AFTER youngster has learned TO field
his position, the next step is to read the
batter-to find out, II possible what he
intends doing. This latter stage of the
game Is the hardest to acquire When
playing against a team, by careful study
Of each mans actions when he steps to
the plate, very often a third baseman is
able to read what the sticker intends doing
Unintentionally,. batter who intends try,

your cues. There are other battors who

such as pulling on the BALL In otherjwords
swinging little too soon at it and thus
knocking 1t toward third.
THE hunt Is your most dangerous enemy

That's your signal TO start In on him

Local basket Rail- Players Failed to
Land Championship.

Saturday night Omaha High school closed
its basket ball seasCn for 19O9-1O Out Of
fifteen games played with other high
schools Omaha has won nine of them,
making a fairly successful season. At the
beginning Of the year some hopes Of OBJ
tanning the state championship were held
by the Omaha lads but several things
broke in and spoiled this dream. One of
the chief reasons was the loss of Captain
Ed Burdick in the middle of the season.
Burdck was easily the star player of
Omaha and always a terror to the oppos-
ing five, so that his loss crippled Omaha
greatly.
The following Is the recorded games won
and lost by Omaha: 4

Foot Ball Under
New Rules Begun
by Cornhuskers
Spring Practice on at Lincoln Accord

LINCOLN, March S.-(special)-No
that the foot ball insurgents" have done
their work and made several radical
changes in the rules governing the great
gridron game, the candidates for places
on the eleven next fall at the University
Of Nebraska will start spring practice this
week to learn how to play the great game
under the revised code.
Assistant Coach Ewing will have charge
OF the squad and will set It to work
Thursday afternoon. The rules commit
tee at its meeting in New York yesterday
failed to devise any suitable means Tor
offensive play. All the new rules adopted
yesterday related to the defense, and an
other gathering of the committee will be
held In April to plan an offensive system
Of play The Cornhuskers in their spring
practice will use the new defensive plays
and will try to formulate their own style
Of offense Their experimenting with the
offensive game will give forth hints that
VIII be used by Coach Alonzo Stagg of
Chicago In getting a system Of rules for
the rules committee to consider at its
next meeting on April %.
Only two of the rules adopted by the re-
formers at New York yesterday are re-
garded as the work Of mollycoddles by the
local foot ball men, One Of these is the
order that the game shall be divided in
quarters OF fifteen minutes each, and the
other is the regulation which permits
player to enter the game after he has once
been removed. The division of the game
into quarters, think the Cornhuskers, will
make the sport less interesting to the
spectators and will also tend to make the |
game drag along for many extra minutes |
The chief objection that is raised to theI
second rule is that teams will abuse the !
privilege Of taking their men out, because
they will have a right to put them back |
into the game a second time.
The prohibition of the flying tackle will |
help the Cornhuskers next fail. For the
last five years the Nebraska players have
been about the poorest tackling eleven in |
the west, and their inability to stop run
ners of opposing teams lost them three or
four games during the last three years.
simpler method Of tackling will prob
ably result in giving the Cornhuskers
better system of checking players than
they have used in recent years.
Tho removal OF the restrictions on the
player who receives the ball from the
snapback, which required that he run out
five yards from center and the lessening
Of the penalties on the forward pass will
tend to make better game, for free play
will be permitted and the members of
both teams will have to use more strategy
than under the former rules. The re-
moval Of these restrictions will make the
game more interesting to watch, This is
the view the Cornhuskers take of these
two changes.
The rules requiring the offensive side
to maintain seven players on the line Of
and prohibition of pulling and
pushing runner will only help make the
game safer and will not detract from it's
features, say the Cornhusker
players.
