LEATHER EGGERS LINING UP
Amateur Footbsllists Getting Teams
in Shape for Season.
PROSPECTS QUITE B
BRIGHT
Outlook IL Encouraging for an In
terestinE Schedule of Encounters
Between Old and New
Elevens.
by FRANK QuIGLEY.

Now that base ball is practically en-
balmed and approximately ready for
the funeral services a new child Of
amusement has arrived in the form of
foot ball. Activities will start today
when several teams will enter a prac-
tice debate for the supreme purpose Of
ascertaining who is who among the
string OF candidates. The season among
the amateurs will start in full blast with
all the pomp and splendor necessary for
such an suspicious event next Sunday
With each season the interest in the
leather egg game increases and the pros
poets are brighter than ever now. There
will be several municipal grounds and
these fields will prove rather effective
to install vitality into different fellows
that aspire to be foot ball managers.
Last season about fifteen teams enrolled,
but taking into consideration the extra
enthusiasm already evlnced It is a safe
bet that about thirty will be ready to en-
ter the ring AS the local base ball as
ISOLATION was such distinct success,
probably it would be a good idea for
some influential magnate to start foot
ball association. One real benefit that
could be derived from an association of
matter to book games.
superiOrs Are Big Noise.
For the last two years the Superiors
have been the big noise in local foot ball
dom, with the Monmouth Parks trailing
| close behind. If the Superiors organize
this year they will have to go some TO
trim the Monmouth Parks, because the
latter have mustered together a strong
| no -
lumbians They have had a real fast
team for the last four years, but al
though they always made the Superiors
or Monmouth Parks utilize all their
steam to whip them, they were unable to
grab the winning number. This year,
however, finds them with a stronger
lineup, as follows: Jack Fitzgerald, for
merly with the South Omaha Shamrocks;
Frank Quigley. formerly with the SUI
periors; Mart Flanaga, commonly known
as one of the best halfbacks in town;
Foran and Sandau, formerly with the Ex-
celsiors; Johnson, formerly with the Uni
versity of Nebraska; Payne and Lidell.
formerly with the Belmonts, and Rach-
man. formerly with the Omaha High
! school and University of Omaha. The
! Columbians will play all of their games
at Rourke park and they will practice
every Tuesday and Friday night at
Twenty-fourth and Leavenworth streets.

a few OF the old stars up this season is
the recently organized Fontenelle herd
which is looking for games.
