Tuesday is Day Of
Straw Hat for Fans
Dick 6rotte Fixes Opening Of
Season for Summer Sky
Pieces.
Tuesday Is straw bad day.

1ueoudy Is straw nat uay.
On this day the formal opening of the
straw hat season will be made in Omaha,
and It will be opened at Rourke ball park.
Every person attending the game on Tues
day is to wear a straw hat or be fined by
the base ball management and put down
on the blotter as not being a true and
faithful fan.
Dick Grotte, the secretary OF the Omaha
ball team, announced yesterday that he
had decided on tomorrow os the big day.
II is something new in Omaha and also
In the entire west. In the east It is a
yearly occurrence. At Philadelphia the
ball fans turn out in droves on straw hat
day and he who Gares approach the Stands
without straw sky piece 10 in danger of
being elected from the held
The University OF Pennsylvania oriRi-
mated the straw hat day at base ball
games and panamas sailors. and straw
sunbonnets are the main attraction. Even
the co-eds have taken to the fancy and
now intense rivalry exists as TO who wear
the most stunning or hideous "dicer"
The weather man has promised nice
warm weather and much sun for the oc-
CASTOR, so there will be no danger OF the
wearers OF the straw catching cold. An
attempt will be made to place one OF these
beautiful bonnets ION the top OF HAskell's
anatomy when he appears on the field to
handle the indicator. And woe unto the
jumps II he fails TO comply with the re-
quest Of the fans His exit from the
grounds will be ivslIer than that OF the
late Kneeland.
The management OF the ball team has
placed premium on home runs and ev-

PA ROURKE HOME And BUSY
Gets Back from Western Trip with
Remodeled Family.
BOUND TO HAVE THE BEST TEAM
Four Players Get Release and Two
Others Draw Fines for Poor
work-New Men Are
Making Good.

Pa Rourke and his family got home from
the west yesterday, showing the scars
Of disaster but full Of fight and more
than ever determined to win the pennant
OF the Western league in the present race.
The Wichita team, which is soon TO be-
come the Pueblos, came along, but the
rain put a stop to the plans for playing
the Sunday game here
Today four Of the Omaha players will
be dropped from the payroll. The other
teams have waived on Pickering, Anderson.
Graham and Patton and they will be
handed their unconditional releases. Three
new men are now with Omaha, Niehoff,
Pick and Williams. and more are coming
The further changes 10 be made will be
announced little later. on the trip two
members of the team were stif1y fined
for indifferent work on the field, and they
have since been up on their toes, and
are working hard to stay on the list
Bound to Make Good.
IT am trying to make good on my
promise said Mr.. Rourke last night II
am going 10 have ball team here II money
can buy IL Just now the boys are playing
good ball, and are winning games, but
/ know Of couple Of weak spots, and I'm
going to fill them as soon as I can
Since scfnpke has been relieved Of the
worries OF playing, he has shown much
unsupported ability as manager, and am
going to let him run the team from the
bench. He is anxious to make good. and
in my judgment he Will be a revelation
TO the patrons, The new men 1 have are
all doing well, and when I get another
corking good pitcher and the other weak
spots braeed up. I'll have as good team
as any.
1T wasn't the pitching that lost the
games on the last trip. 1t was just poor
ball playing. That has now stopped We
had good business At st. Joseph, lincoln
and Denver the attendance was big, and at
Topeka it was the best weekday at
tendance ever have played to there. At
Wichita It was bad. 1 do not understand
why Wichita wanted to let the team 60
but 1t has. The option to buy expired on
Saturday, and now Isbell will move to
Pueblo"
IsbeIl Goes 10 Pueblo.
Frank Isbell went to Pueblo last night
TO make final arrangements for the
transfer of the team to that place. IL Will
necessitate a readjustment Of the schedule
in order that the travel may be eaualized
but Pueblo IL awakened. and a prosperous
season there Is expected.
Omaha rests today, and on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday will play Lam
coin at Rourke park. On Friday. Satur-
day and Sunday Pueblo will play here and
on Sunday night Omaha goes back to
Denver to play on Monday and Tuesday.

thunder showers, soon over with. But they did not come in the early morn ing. There was the grey day, heavy hanging clouds overhead like a blan- ket. That meant an all-day's rain. And just such day did Lucy see before her on the morning I write about.
 She went down to breakfast and found Grandmother already at the ta- ble. Good morning, dear," said Grandmother. She was always so kind, and it was not her fault that she did not know exactly what little maid of twelve needed.
 Good morning. Granny. hope you are quite well this morning?" And Lucy went to her grandmother's side and kissed her forehead.
 I'm very well. thank you, dear" And Grandmother patted Lucy's cheek. Its going to be heavy day. But the late gardens need the rain. I shall be almost glad of 1t, too, for ] ave so many Missionary Journals to go over before mailing my final re- port on next Wednesday evening. You see, the fine days have made me lazy
 
 afternoons, doing light sewing, when might have been attending to my work. So it's piled up on me. And this will be fine day to unload some of it."
 Lucy listened to Grandmother only half-heartedly. This had been her day to go automobiling w..h Grace and Ethel Parker, nearest neighbors | fA 1xa spoil that anticipated pleasure.
 I'm wondering what to set you to do today, Lucy" continued Grand mother. "The kitchen towels are so plentiful that we need no more for some time. And the tea-towels are also made up In huge stacks. There are few dozen napkins, though"
 Grandmother stopped for a look of pain had come upon Lucy's face at mention of the napkins. It had been Lucy's duty to hem-stitqh all the nap kins used in her grandmother's house. and that meant a very considerable number, for while Grandmother's family consisted of only herself, Lucy. and Lucy's father. (who was now ab- sent on business trip in the West) she had so much company that nap kins had to be made by the dozens
 Well, daughter" said Grandmoth- CT, you seem disposed not to enjoy hem-stitching napkins I assure you, 1t is very light and necessary work, and should be pleasure to you"
 But, Granny" said Lucy, feeling a bit ashamed of herself, T have hem stitched hundreds of napkins, and truly---I do get so tired of them. I'd like - to - do = some other kind of work-something that would make somebody happy. you know"
 Grandmother smiled. Well, dear," she replied, "it makes me happy to have my linen closet well filled. And if you keep me supplied with napkins. towels and bed linens, isn't that mak- l ing somebody happy?"
 "But-Granny. you don't seem to
