mer at the Country club or the Field

August or September. In which every
golf player In the city will be allowed to
compete. II will be a closed event outside
Of Omaha.
Local golf sharps have been talking
the matter over among themselves for
the last few weeks and have asked the
sentiment Of many golf enthusiasts. They
believe that a city tournament could be
put on in Omaha very successfully. A
meeting will be called for some night this
week. at which time all the golf men OF
Omaha viii be asked " be present and
give their views on the proposition. II

HASTINGS COLLEGE WILL
NOT HAVE BASE BALL TEAM

( HASTINGS. Neb.. March 25.-Sspecial.)
Hastings college probably viii have To
abandon It's place 10 the intercollegiate
Base Bail league Of the state for this
year. and n so the athletic ACTIVITIES OF the
institution for the remainder of the sea-
son Will be confined TO track work.
The passing OF base ball for this year
Is due chiefly to the retirement from coll
iege Of "squak" Smith and W. Smith. the
athletic brothers from Carleton. Neb.,
who have been stars In intercollegiate foot
bali, basket ball and base ball While
they both intend to re-enter college next
fall their services will not be available
for base ball this spring. and without
them Coach Hoiste confeeses that Il
would be impossible to build up q success
ful team. especially as there Is no prom
Using material available for the battery
positions. Only one Of last years base
bail team is now In college and practically
all OF the other students are inexperienced
in the diamond pastime.
The outlook for the development OF a
winning track team is not highly encour-
aging. but Coach Holste believes that by
centefing ali efforts In the one direction
he viii be able TO muster a. bunch Of ath-
letes from the students who will compare
favorably with those - ether colleges.

Denver May Not Be
as Strong This Year
as in Season of 1911

According to spring dope the Denver
ball club is not going TO be the strong
machine II was last year. There IL no
doubt that the Denver hurlers were re-
sponsible directly for the grand showing
Of the Bears last season and for the early
walk-away they made OF the race for the
1911 pennant. This spring the eight west.
ern league clubs are all puzzles. There
Is much new material on the league ros-
ter and many new faces will be seen
when the season opens. In sizing up the
outside clubs II appears to the observer
that Des Moines, Topeka and st. Joseph
have mighty sweet looking outfits, but
are purely unknown quantities that can
not be judged fairly until the race gets
under way. In Denver the fans are de.

Into Base Ball Game

NEW YORK. March 2s.-Alhert G. Spal.
ding, one OF the best OF the base ball
players in tho history Of the national
game. tells in his new book how he came
TO be a ball player.
Il was boarding at the home Of a rela-
tive at Rockford. Ill. 1t was my first
prolonged absence from home, and men,
cries OF the home sickness Of that period
haunt me like q nightmare to this hour.
The only solace had, the only bright
skies for me in those dark days Of utter
loneliness. were when I could so out to
the commons to watch the other fellows
play base ball. And then my diffidence
was so great that / would go way down
the outfield. take seat on the turf and
see others have fun. I think no mother
parted from her young ever had a stronger
yearning to behold her beloved offspring
than / had to break into those crude
games Of ball on the commons in Rock.
ford OH II only could get In! But
I'd rather have died than suggest such a
thing. So I would sit and watch and
yearn and covet place among the happy
lads who were having such happy times
One Gsy the unexpected happened.
The balls used In those days were com.
posed Of melted rubber, around which
yarn was wound. and a leather cover
sewed on-sometimes. These balls would
bound as high as q house, and IL a fellow
got fair lick at one II would certainly
40 some. On this particular day I was
occupying my usual place, far out beyond
center field, when one Of the boys hit
the ball square on the nose and II came
soaring in my direction. Talk about spe-
cial Providencei That ball came for me
straight as an arrow. Impulsively !!
sprang no my feet, reached out for 1t
with my right hand. held II a moment
and then threw 1t home on an air line
to the catcher.
when the game was over one OF the
boys came to me and said:
Say, that was a great catch you
made. wouldn't you like to play to-
morrow
''Blushing. ] managed TO stammer that
would, and ! did. and from that day
when sides were chosen | was usgally
among the first to have a place. And
this was my real introduction to the play
ing Of the game"
