The Coyingt0n Country.
AT the turn in the road north OF
Nestoria the second leg Of the circle
trip commences. Three miles of this
stretch is to be part of the copper
country road and some of It has been
graded. This three miles is really the
worst part of the trip as the sand in
some places is very deep, and other
parts OF IL are rough. Al Tioga the
copper country road swings to the
north. and the Covington road con
tinues west along the South Shore.
This road is hard and, while narrow,
a. going IS good and can be driven
safely at 20 miles per hour II a sharp
watch is kept for oncoming cars.
AT Murphy one meets the probable
junction OF the Iron county trunk line
through Amasa and the east-and-west
trunk through Baraga county Our

completed the trip to Murphy will be

At Murphy the character OF the soil
changes and one meets the very pro-

claimed that II the Iron county road
is put through to Murphy that a very
fine country will be traversed all of
the way, with much available farming

The road from Coyington. which is
two miles west of Murphy. to Sidnaw
is fine. especially that part OF II which
is in Covington township This sec
ton is fine farming country with
large farms and fine buildings.

crops were seen all along the way be-

somewhat handicapped for markets
as they have no direct connections

Manager Jackson loaned a uni
form to young fellow in soldiers
uniform yesterday who said he
would like to work out little. His
name is Jess Kranda and when he
got into the uniform he tossed few
easy. ones with the rest of the fell
lows and took third base when the
inheld practice started. He startled
the witnesses by the easy manner
in which he scooped up thei fast
grounders and his throwing TO Jack
son at first was fine. The Omaha
club may have local find in this
fellow. Eight years ago, before join
ing the army and going to Homo
lulu. kranda was third baseman
and pitcher for the Holly's, local
amateur club. His family has lived
in Nevada for seven years, but Jess
says he expects to make his home

FIVE RoURKES
PRACTICE WITH
MANAGER BILL
Balance of Team Expected in
by Morning; Corderman
Shows Good Behind Plate
and Bats Well.

Five of the Omaha players al
ready under contract reported to
Manager Jackson yesterday morn
ing and were out in the afternoon
for two honrs' practice. The field
was a little heavy from the rain of
the night before, but the boys were
able to get around in fairly good
style.
The infield was too soggy to get
much satisfactory work, but the
outer gardens were in good enough
shape to travel around in.
Kopp, Fuhr and Manske were the
pitchers on hand and they each
threw for batting practice. Hale
and Corderman, catchers, took turns
warming Cup the beavers.
A few of the local amateur players
were out to help the boys work and
returned soldier, Jess Kranda, just
back from service with the regular
army in Honolulu made a decided
impression on Prexy Rourke and
Manager Jackson. He was already
in good shape, having been playing
ball with the soldiers. in Honolulu
He covered third base for a while
and scooped up the daisy cutters in
fine style.
At bat, he smeared everything
that crossed the dish and his throw
ing in the field was accurate Kranda
said he expected to make Omaha his
home for a time at least and it is
not unlikely that he will havS job
with the >Rourkes to keep hun here.
The boys threw the ball around a
little and then took turns at the bat.
Jackson batted a few flies to the
outfield and some infield practice
and a run twice around the field
finished up the first days work.
The other players were expected
in sometime during the evening and
this afternoon they will all be out
for little work. Bill is pleased
with the showing of the players al
ready on hand and hopes the rest
,of the team will show as we'll.
Corderman looked good at the
plate and with the big glove. If the
first workout is any criterion, he
will probably be first string
catcher.

GREATER OMAHA
LEAGUE TO Be IN
FIELD THIS YEAR
Old Atlantic Team Reorgan-
ICES and Will Play Class A
BALI if Enough Teams
Join the Circuit.

The Municipal Base Ball associa-
ton of 1919 is certain to lumber
Class A league as one of its Or
CARNATIONS. This was developed
Yesterday when team organized
by a well-known ball player was
ready to join Class A circuit.
With two clubs already lined up
and ready to enter Class A loop
the addition of this new team as
sures Omaha of its priced Greater
Omaha league, the only Class 4. or
ganization in the city. The two
clubs already lined up for the season
are the Mirphy-Did-Its, backed by
Bert Murphy, and the Nebraska
Power company, The Murphys
were the champions of the Greater
Omaha league last year, while the
Nbraska Power company team is
new entry in the field.
Class A Outlook.
There was much uncertainty as to
the formation of Class A league
this year. To start with the play
ers refused to perform on city dia-
monds, preferring to play within
enclosed parks and charging ad-
mission fees. The players claimed
they had right to charge aImis-
sions and share in the gate receipts.
This the association refused to rec
ognize. After much squabbling and
fussing around the players gave i'll
and things looked rosy once more.
1t later developed, however. that
there were not enough teams IN the
field to make up a Class A league,
two clubs being lined up while at
least five such teams were needed
to form such a circuit. However,
with this new addition, officials of
the Muny association are confident
that they will be able to put Class
A league in the field which will be
stronger than ever before,
Composed of Stars.
The new team is headed by James
Srtej, star amateur player and re-
Gently given an honorable discharge
from the navy The new club is
made up of most OF the stars who
were on the famous Atlantic team
OF 1916. Jim says that the team is
a world beater and that he will have
the best nine in the city, barring
ndhe. The team is looking for
hacker now and the sportsman who
is figuring OH backing a class A
club this year is advised to grab this
bunch before it is too late.
Sutej was manager of the Ala
mtos in 1916 The following year
he played with the Burgess Nash
team in the Greater Omaha league
and made great record with that
nine.> He was so good that Bill
Rourke of Omaha decided to give
him a tryout with his club. He did
rot make good right off the reel, but
showed great promise and had il
not been for the Great war Sutej
might have been performing for
some Western League club now.
+ There is a possibility that the
Loneeways of Council Bluffs. who
finished second in~the Greater ON
aha league last year, will enter a
team in the same organization this
year. Should the boys across the
river enter a club, Omaha will be
sure to see class A league in mo-
ton this year

DR0LL REPLIES
OF CONNIE MACK
CAUSE UP ROAR
President Johnson Denies
That American League Was
Operated for Profit, at
Supreme Court Hearing.

Washington, April Three lead1
ers i'll organized base ball testified
today in the District of Columbia su.
preme court in the 100000 damage
suit of the Baltimore Federal league
against the National and American
leagues and certain officials OF tine
defunct Federal league.
August Hermann, chairman OF
the National base ball commission,
was recalled for cross-examination
b. counsel for the Baltimore club as
to the signing of the peace pact
and negotiations leading up to it:
B. Bancroft Johnson, president OF
the American league, and Connie
Mack, president of the Philadelphia
American league club, were the 9th
er witnesses.
The Philadelphia club president
testified as to relations existing be-
tween club officials and players in
organized base ball and cited NUM-
Der of instances designed to counter
the plaintiffs charges that organ,
lied base ball was monopoly and
players were permitted no privileges.
The court room was thrown into
an uproar time and time again by
the droll answers made by Mr.. Mack
during cross-examination.
President Johnson denied that the
American league was operated tor
profit, although the constituent clubs
were so operated. The reserve rule
in PLAYERS contracts, attacked by
the Baltimore club as an evidence
of monopoly, was said by Mr.. john
son to be just as essential to base
ball clubs as coal to train"

Fifty Miles an Hour Not Too
Fast for Friend Wife to Ride

1t may be folly to drive so miles
an hour on motorcycle when you
have young lady with you iii the
side car of your machine, but it's
all right if she's your wife. That's
the philosophy William Hatfield,
2O02 California street, upheld when
he was arrested last night for speed
ing.
Motorcycle Officer Urbanic chased
Hatfield from Twenty-fourtl and
Pine streets to Twenty-fourth and
Vinton, at a 50-mile -an=hour clip
before he could overtake him.
Hatfield explained that he was
only learning to drive and was
showing friend wife how we'll he was
progressing.

her life if you're that reckless when
she's with you" admonished Cap
tain Heitfeld. ooh, that's all right

Hatfield was charged with speed
irg and driving with the cut-out
open. He was released on SIS cash

Rate Of Interest on
Victory Loan Will Be
Decided Upon Soon

Washington, April THE hse
per cent interest rate borne by the
war finance corporations new one
year bonds, approved by the trea-
sury is not to be taken as an index
of the rate on Victory Liberty loan
notes. it was stated authoritatively
today.
Suggestions that the Victory issue
should bear at least FIVE per cent
are reaching the treasury persis-
tently from banking and other COM
mercial interests, but apparently
the proposals are not looked on
favorably. Rates of 4 IL or even
4 IA. as carried by the past two
issues of bonds, have been discussed
by treasury officials much more than
the higher rate. Secretary Glass is
known to believe that S per cent is
entirely too high.

The Western isn't the only minor
league to have trouble with one of
its teams. The American associa-
ton heads are somewhat worried
over the Toledo club. Roger Bres-
nahan appears to be in bad with the
other stockholders of the club and
they won't come through with the
financial backing and "Ragah"
hasn't got it himself, so they may
lose their franchise. No one seems
to, know where the team would be
placed if it were taken from Toledo
Tom Hickey tells the Toledo people
that the matter must be settled to-
day or they will forfeit the fran
chise.
