being manifested in the Colorado city.
The Rourkes have but one postponed
game to play while on the coming trip.
This game is scheduled at Lincoln. There
Is possibility, however. that a double
bill will be staged at Denver. There is
no way of making 1t compulsory that
the postponed game be played there as
1t should have been played in Omaha, but
owing to rain on the last day Of Dem
ver's last series in Omaha, It was called
off.
Omaha will return home on September

Harry Welch of the Storz Triumphs Is
sure smacking the pill this season. He
looks better than when he used to top the
Western league.
Something extraordinarily good in base
ball is looked for at Florence park when
the s. s. A. team endeavors to wallop
the Florence Athletics.
Tw1chell, q former light on our base
ball fIrmament, arrived In Omaha a few
days ago. He will accompany the A. ..

Still four OF the Probst family are
playing amateur base ball. George is with
the Storz. Willie belongs to the Advoss
and the other two help the Stars and
Stripes to win games.
Our famous J. s. Cross outfit will
board a steamer labeled for Missouri VAL
ley today. The Kiplingers mopped up the
Misery Valleys, consequently the Cross
boys think they can do likewise.
Frank Welch of the Hollys took yaca-
ton and went to work for the Union Pa
cific, not because his ability as base
ball player has deteriorated, but because
he wanted a change, or come change.
Up at Blair, Neb., the D. j. Jourdans
will buck up against the home base ball
lists located there. To date the Jourdans
have been playing nifty ball and they
expect to have a close call or bring home
the bacon.

Next week two bowling leagues will
begin their. seasons in Omaha and the
following week all the other leagues will
start the ball rolling on what they say
Will be the greatest bowling year Omaha
has ever known. Five teams will hold the
boards this year and but one three man
league will be started. The three man

year proved to be good one. The Metz

such a good record, will have the same
men this year as last and are expected
to cop the money again.

because they are backed for two days and
the humans located there are bugs about
the grand national pastime, HoIlander

Syrup Mixers.
On the green at Fort Omaha tomorrow

guments. First game. Advos against o.

Chief Meyers, the great catcher of the
New York Giants, has this to say in re-
gard to the title of "speediest pitcher"
THE man who has thrown, in my be-
lief, the fastest balls that ever crossed

cept Rusie or any of the old-timers who
were supposed to serve very smoky balls.

Trimble Fruit team has made himself a
Ty Cobb the second this year. In seven
teen games played, he has been at bat

he is clean fielder He has stolen
twenty-three bases and made but two
errors.
Ralph is IS years old and attends High
school. Managers and captains watch
him as he is rounding into fast and

I'VE had an exhibition series in Cali
fornia few years ago-All-Nationals
versus AllAmericans--and Walter and I
were the battery for the Nationals. The
way the boy could throw! Why. after
handling him I'd almost be willing to do
the circus stunt Of catching the cannon
ball shot out of the big gun with moth
ing on but my mitt. I think johnson Is
the speediest pitcher that ever tossed up
one to the plate. The palm of my nit
hand used to be red and sore from taking
his fast ones"

particularly strong in the pinches. Stan

there is man on base, but this offense
Is minor one, as 1t Is not often perpe-
trated and It can easily be remeded,

AJOR LEAGUE magnateS have
Ia m about completed their raid on
NH the minors. and the owner of
IE teams from Glass A down now
look on the riddled ranks, and
wonder just what they are going
to do for the next season. Expert
enee has proven to minor league owners
tnat they are compelled to have winning
teams. or they cans do business; and ex-
perience has also shown them their prob
lem is far greater in proportion than
that OF the major league nagnate. The
man who owns club in one Of the small
town circuits has to take his chance on
undeveloped material, he must take hold
OF players and train them In the rudi-
ments OF the game, and only about once
season does he succeed in getting hold
OF man who looks like real hall player
No sooner does the youngster begin to
show any class than along comes a
major league scout and the draft is at
tached. And year after year this goes on.
The worst feature Of It all is that if the
young player doesn't make good In the
big league, he Is seldom sent back to the
team from which he was drafted. Gener-
ally he is used in trade with some other
minor league club, or is sold" under con-
ditions that give the big league owner a
double claim on the little fellow. The in
justice of the draft as II is now practiced
Is too obvious to require extensive elab-
grafton. 1t is one-sided in its operation,
has given the major league owners a
practical monopoly OF all real base ball
players. and seems a mockery Of the
protection" provided for in the agree
nent between the big and little leagues.
Organized BALI ought to be ridded of
this feature for the good Of the game.
Omaha surely made a good showing on
its short trip away from home. Des
Moines is playing real ball. but the
Rourkes grabbed three out Of four from
Des Moines, and two out of four from
Sioux City. which is the best work the
team has done away from home this sea-
son. 1t shows that the boys have gotten
into the running for fair. Breaking the
Sioux City hoodoo was very gratifying.
For some reason the Sioux had been able
to win from Omaha with apparent ease,
when the other teams were going just the
other way. But this is over now, and the
Sioux braves will get what is coming to
them from the Rourke family the rest
of the season. At present Omaha Is con-
cerned with st. Joseph in what is really a
test series. II Omaha wins, it means that
st. Joseph is out of the race for any place
above third. A double-header is sched-
uled for this afternoon, and it ought to
get a record crowd.

In the National the fight Is very inter-
esting, because the Cubs have an outside
chance to land first, and as long as they
can keep the pace they are now holding,
the crowds will swarm at the gates. The
surprise of the week was the ease with
which New York got away with the series
at Pittsburgh. 1t was a case of getting
the breaks" for the Pirates outbatted and
outfielded the Giants, and yet lost, If one
were at all inclined to be captious and
suspect the honesty of the race, the game
played between New York and Brooklyn
on Thursday might come in FOR COM
ment. Brooklyn had 1t won up to the
ninth, and in that inning made wonder
full collection of wild throws and similar
blunders, just enough to let the Giants
get the winning run. In some sports such
games as that would be frowned upon.

At the present writing the Omaha team
is leading the league in all departments
of the game, but batting. 1t has the best
team fielding average, more stolen bases
and more sacrifice hits than any other Of
the outfit, and the team batting is up to
.27S. which isn't bad figure Five of the
boys are hitting over 300. and a sixth is
coming, his latest figures being .299, so
the dope Is all in favor of the Rourkes.

Despite the heat and other bothers work on the federal building pro sressed well last weey. The flag staffs are in place and some patriotic workman found time to fasten a small old Glory on top of one of the poles. The effect is rallish in the extreme, beside calling attention to the finished appearance of the structure.
 The carpenters are busy placing the cornice around the roofs edge The boarding of that part is being laid and it is thought daylight will be shut out by next week.
 The upper stories are ready for the coat of stucco which will hide the bricks; the shields and corner orna- ments are already in position.
 Electricians have nearly completed work on the conduits and wiring: the switchboard is ready for the con rection of feeds and mains. All the juice is transmitted by means of wiring hid under a tiled floor. The concrete base is finished and tiles will be applied in the near future Near one corner stands a vault of Sillu CpllSOl Ji'tlOiI, WHICH Nlll Dt CON cred to make neat appearance in the office. The steel columns ar, surrounded by hollow fireproof tiling and over all will be spread plaster. Plumbing is almost done.
