Statistics show that few of the base ball

NOT WORRYING OYER TEAM
Pa Has Team Which He Says Will Be
a Winner This Year.
KNEAvEs TO PLAY AT SHORT
with Him in the Game Fans Think
RED Corridor VIII Not BE Missed
So Much-wants More
pitchers.

The fact that Pa Rourke was unable to
obtain Red Corridor to play here next sum
mer has not worried Pa nor the Omaha
fans who know the team much Pa has
another man, Kneaves, who viii play all
round that same Red Corridor as a short
stop. and who will be in an Omaha uni
form and batting the ball at vinton park
when the season opens.
Kneaves fieided 1888 last season while he
played in the Western and he didn't loaf
on any of the chances, but was ready to
make a try at any hot one. Pa is more
than proud of Kneaves and expects great
things of the little shortstop in 1911.
The signing Of Goat Anderson of the last
years Rochester team OF the Eastern league
gives Omaha an outfleld that cannot
be beaten In the Western league. Ander-
son. Bert King. Ollie Pickering and little
schoonover will hold down the garden
spots for Pa. and there won't be many OF
the high ones that win get away from
that quartet
Although he has sent out the contracts
for the year Pa announces that he expects
to get one or two more fast men IN the
infield before the season opens. He also
remarked that there wouldn't be any talk
Of holdouts on the Omaha club.
The greatest need OF the Omaha mag
nate is pitchers. With Gonding, Ed Jo-
kerst and the two Asnew brothers ready
for the bacistop position. his list of catch
ers is complete. Jimmy Kane viii be back
on the initial base to call the hunters out,
and George Graham, the speedy second
baseman, declares that <hls injured leg Is
well again now and he win wear the
Omaha letters again Third base will be
covered by the able Captain Skipper Bill
schipke, mad Kneaves will be the short
stop.
This leaves the list Of pitchers TO be &C
counted for, and Pa stated recently that
he would have nine In the box. Durbin
Fentress. Kelley and Rhoades viii be here
and this leaves five for Pa 10 get. sinde-
lar, the tall wonder OF Columbus in this
State league last season, viii try out and
perhaps another youngster will start in an
Omaha uniform. And Pa promises that q
couple OF fast righthanders will be on the
job.

Advie. In Crisis.


The Saline river. Arkansas. was out
Of its bank and swift flowing, owing
to the heavy rains. An old negro and
his two IONS wanted to cross, each rid
ing a mule. The older son ventured
first and came up safely on the other
bank. The younger went next, the
father remaining to watch. Thus the
two anxiously witnessed the younger
negro's battle against the swirling cur
rent: The mule was swimming low,
the rider showing little except his
head and shoulders above water, when
the saddle girth broke and saddle and
contents slipped off the animal be-
hind. which allowed the faithful mule
to partially emerge from the water.
1t was a critical moment. and the
watchers from opposite banks were all
anxiety. The imperiled boy clutched
frantically upon the tail Of the swim
ming animal, but the old negro evil
IDENTIFY failed to note this and shouted,
'Look to de Lawd, Eph'um; look to
de Lawd: look to de Lawd"
The more worldly Q on the other
bank was obviously skeptical about
such advice under the circumstances.
for he screamed out, "Nevah you min.
