Booster Club.
A week or so ago, it was sug-
'gested that a Booster club to root"
for the Omaha team be organized
and persons desirous of joining were
asked to send in their names and ad-
dresses. Thus far, only one person
has sent in his name.
The purpose of the organization
is to get a better attendance at
Rourke park. The club has been
playing some great ball and yet it
is with great regret that we notice
but a few fans, seldom over 400, in
the stands at the wcek\day games.
On Sundays the attendance is usu-
ally about 1000, less than half of
what it should be.
The matter of a Booster club was
mentioned to Pa Rourke and he
was Immediately enthusiastic. He
said he would make the members
a proposition on season tickets that
would be worth their while. He will
give them book of tickets at
reasonable price, containing coupons
good for any game played. 1t will
not be at all necessary that the pur-
chaser use the tickets himself. He
can loan his book to any one,
whether member of his family or
not
Should the owner of the book de-
sire to entertain a party of friends
at the ball game, each person en-
tering the park may use one of the
coupons, thus it will be seen that the
tickets may be used all at one time
or as often as they may care to use
them If a sufficient number of
members can be secured. the price
of the ticket books will be lowered
so that there will be substantial
reduction on the price of each ad-
mission.
For Omaha to be represented in
the Western League, it must show
the league heads that the club will
draw enough to make it pay. The
visiting clubs get certain percent
age of each admission and the other
clubs in the league are protesting
the amount of money they receive
from the Omaha games. They get
more money in each of the other
cities in the loop than they do i'll

Tommy Burns claimed the title, but
quickly lost it to Jack Johnson in
a match at Sydney, Australia. John
son was wonderfully clever boxer
and hard hitter, but success spoil
ed him. Among the white hopes
that cropped up during Johnson's
reign was Jess Willard. The big
cowpuncher finally obtained a
match for the championship and
beat the big black in 26 rounds at
Havana, Cuba. Willard in turn was
dethroned by Jack Dempsey. How

Ali. well | remember how last years
December was poignant with sorrow
and woe; the Tueton was footing and
raging and shotting, an awesome and
terrible foe With briny tears drop
ping We went to our shopping, the
shopping that Christmas requires, and
bought for the kiddies tin rabbits and
blddies, and lollipops, lanterns and
Tyres. No JOY was In buying, but
sobbng and signing, we pushed our
selves round I'm the stores, and thot
OF our brothers and cousins and 9th
ers who suffered ON far foreign shores.
And often when pricing the cakes with
their icing, the candies and walnuts
and figs, the tears would leave traces
all over our faces till we wiped them
away with our wigs Oh, sad was that
season, for we had no reason to think
that wars end would soon come; the
Prussian seemed stronger and hercer
the longer he marched TO the beat OF
his drum. SO, when we were gazing
on doodads amazing, on wax dolls and
Theodore bears, emotion would take
us, our feelings would shake us, we'd
swoon and go rolling downstairs. But
now we are happy and pepy and snap
py, the day OF our sorrow is done; we
have fixed this old planet so kings
shall not man Il, we've fastened the
lid on the Hun!
