Work on the Ball
Park is Under Way
Pa Rourks Undertakes Big Improve
ment on Base Ball Grounds
and Grandstand.

Actual work has begun on the improve
ments planned for the Omaha base ball
park for the 1911 season. During the last
week the grading OF the sixty feet Of the
park outside the present fence was started.
Pa Rourke's plan is to utilize forty feet
Of this in charging the park space and
the other twenty feet to be made into a
driveway for automobiles and carriages
coming to the grounds. After Thanksgiv-
ing the work OF grading contemplated in
side the fence will be finished.
The erection Of the big new grandstand
will also begin as soon as the foot ball
season has closed. the new club house and
higher fences continuing with the grand
stand. Because It is very hard to complete
cement work In freezing weather progress
on the new grandstand and bleachers may
be slow during the winter, but every effort
will be made 50 as to have the park in
first-clRss condition when spring arrives.
The outlay OF over $4,000 is thought to
be rather extravagant by a large number
OF the fans even though they desire new
grandstand. Last season the attendance
did not merit the erection Of any new
improvements, but Pa Rourke has faith
in base ball In Omaha and thinks that next
season there win be many a game when
the grounds will be packed

CLYDE MILAN ONCE SPOILED
classy Little OutfieIder Had Hard
Row ut Firnt.

Row at First.
Clyde Milan. gthe great little outfielder
of washington joiaed the club in Nor
folk last March wondering whether Man
ager Jimmy McAleer was going to keep
him on the club or let him out to the
minors
Two years ago Manager cantilon
spoiled one OF the best outfielders in the
business by his bulldog tactics, or, in
other words, CantillOn got Milan's
goat" and really made the young man
believe that he was not fit for the big
leagues.
1t all happened early in the 1909 season.
when Milan, in one OF the Western games,
was sliding to base and wrenched his
ankle. Word was passed to Cantillon that
Clyde had broken his leg, and the former
remarked: II wish he had broken both
OF 'sm; he isn't any good"
This last statement got right back to
Milan. and as the boy Is keenly sensitive,
he carried a small-sized crouch along
with him during the remainder OF the
season. Consequently the Washington
club was not favored with Milan's best
efforts.
Last March Milan was in none too
amiable a frame Of mind. and knowing
little Of Jim McAleer or his methods was
wondering what would happen, figuring
that McAleer would possibly use Cantil-
Ions tactics and that he (Milan) wal
slated for an early birth with the minors.
Not so with McAleer, as Manager jim
during the first week of practice pax
considerable attention to Milan. and fire.
Quenty walked out to the bali park with
Clyde. In cheering words he often said
Il know you've got 1t in you. my boy,
and / am counting on you to do LOT
for me this season."
All Milan needed was a little en-
couragement, and McAleer came across
with the right stuff; Incidentally he mad'
one OF the best outfied ers in the league
out OF him. something Joe CantilloI
never could have done in 100 years
At a meeting OF the stockholders of tn
washington club last week, the gentle-
men who control base ball in the capital
decided that Mlian's grand work during
the season just closed deserved some-
thing more than their stamp OF approval
and voted to send him good-sized check
in token OF their appreciation.
The foregoing is only one sample OF
Manager McAleer's methods. He seemed
to know just how to handle Milan. an'
that Milan delivered the goods Is easily
shown by the young mans record.
Great things are expected Of Clyd6 next
season.
