Dwellings, Savages and Wolves are,
but it's better to be first in the bunch
than third, which the Savages would
have been had they won Wednesdays
game.
Jimmy Jackson and his untamed
Wolves are in bad with the fans of
st. Joe. The Drummertown Boosters
club has written to President Zehrung
accusing them of driving lady patrons
from the park and of conducting
themselves in a manner that is harm
full to the game.
The letter says that the Wolves con-
Quoted themselves in a profane, rowdy
and disgusting manner while in St. Joe
on May 8, 10 and IL, and that the
language used (within the hearing of
those who unfortunately sat near the
players benchJ, was both vulgar and
obscene and caused some of the ladies
to leave the park long before the clos
! ing of the game. Jimmy Jackson and
! Pitcher Fleharty are given especial
mention in the letter.
! However, Omaha papers state that
! the Wolves have been very meek and
humble since their arrival in the
Rourke hold out. The only disturb
ance of any kind that they have caused
was when Bill Rapps inadvertently
sneezed in the dugout. But Bill i'm
mediately apologized and the incident
was allowed to pass without comment.
Captain Houston, one of the owners
of the New York Yankees has an
nounced that he is in favor of starting
| the major leagues season not earlier
than April &c and winding up at the
usual time in October, examining the
! games into the short season by playing
| more doubleheaderS
Captain Til is only another addition
to the rapidly growing ranks of late

majors, but in the minors as well Their.
is strong sentiment in favor of later
| starts. This season practically every
club in the Western league suffered
/ because of inclenent weather during
the opening series, and several W. I.
magnates have announced that they

KENNEDY'S SUCCESSOR.
Although no successor to DR.. Ken
nedy has been selected for Hask ell
institute, 1t is generally thought that
Mythias Schrimpsher, captain of the
1910 Haskell football team and al
present an instructor at the school
VIII step into Kennedy's shoes with the
idea of carrying out the policies that
have been in force for the past severa
years.
Haskell will face another hard
schedule this fall. and it is a tribut.
to Kennedy that the authorities wa nj
things to run in the future as much
ike they have in the past as is pos
Sible. Among the most important
games on the Haskell schedule for the
coming season are those with Notrt
Dame and the University of Wisconsin
