But while the even days have been die. netroue it is Possible to pick more consola- tloi out of them than at any time since the opening of the season. This is to ha Zcund in the fact that at last after much waiting the work of strengthening the team : ] ns becli begun , The out garden , which baa been more the cause of defeata thali any thing else , line been boosted up tenfold. With. Pickering , I'reston and Burnett a pretty fair outfield ought to result anti many a hit which in the past has counted for two nod tIrco.bnggcrs will certainly be nipped In the bud. As far an fIelding goes , the infield can be complained of only on occasion - sion , for as a rule it line been doing nice vork. Certain it Is that all the itapors on the eastern circuit have been praising the 'work of Eustace and holly and of float to a somewhat less degree. More thint that , the adilitional men prom- lee to ndd considerably to the batting strength of the team. Certainly they have started oft well. Preston in his first two games commenced at a wondrous gait. Piek ering lauded on the 1)011 ) ii. his flrst game on Friday and Untlerwooil , the new twirler , lanimed out two.Vith this increase in bat- tirig antI the better fielding that can be reasonubly expected from now on. the Pitchers - ers will be thrown into bettor relict and the lacnl fans can turn their attention to them , All of them have apparently been doing nice work , but have been greatly liantlicapped by the ioor support behind them. e There will uiiquestionaldy ho some sort of a howl raised by some of the home knockers over the dropping of Grifflu , but from thin information ut h.aiul . his release was ono of the best things that. could have happened to the team. lie was dissatisfied 'with his berth and this dissatisfaction rcachel such a point hero at home that one who wtui on the Inside had suspicions that ho was deliberately attempting to throw games. Certain it is that when ho drew his salary Just before leaving on the trip , ho made the remark that he hoped it vn , , the last money lie would draw from the home management. No matter 1.0w . good a batter or fielder such a player may be , ho is verse flint. worth.iess . to a team _ Eo long as he is Imbued with. such a feeling. There is ot cot1rse , attil clutbco foi improvement - provement , and Maunger Fisher has not given up his efforts to secure now players. t Germany Smith ever bmorgea from his ccius1on ho wiil be gobbied up , as ho can jlay nowhere else but with Omaha. Ho might advantageously ho placed in the infield - field , perhaps. The search for outfielders also has not yet been givea up entirely. Nothing has been so noticeable during the last week as the lack of batting ability. Fhte fielding has been better thait those of the opposing teams. Out of the six games the Babes played , in three they made fewer errors than the teams ngainst them. In two they made an equal number. In only one did they make more and that was the first one with Milwaukee. The fielding average of tue team was higher than that of the week before , being 93,1 , against 88.6. But with. the exception of the now men not a PlaYer went above the 25 mark in the bat- ting. Including the new men , however , the team batting average jumped from 14.4 of the week before to 21.1.

Indianapolis baa put quite n space between herself and the rest of the bunch , Columbus line struck a fast gait nn Is encroachiiIg , on the heels of the Saints at aeconth place. lCansas'City has pretty nearly dropped down to the level of the Brewers and Detroit has shoved her. self way ahead of the Millers , From Friday - day to Friday twenty-three games were played nod of this numlcr the eastern teams won seventeen and the western only six. Uiiiloubtedl the fact that the former vere pinying on their home grouiids bad something - thing to tb with this resutt and the relative - tivo standing of the two divisions , iii not bo settled until th eastern teamn conic west , They start on the circuit next Fri day. day.Tlio Tlio surprise of the week was the fashion iii which the , hiiuea Polished off the lead- ore. It took a mighty effort to do it , as one ten-Inning and one. eleven-inning game were iequired , but the Cowboys took three straight from the hoosiers. Then the Blues went to Milwaukee antI dropped two in sue- cesiinii. rhiu hiruwers have doubtlusa struck the gait they promised in the earlier ihrt of the season , but on the other hand the Indians have becii greatly weakened by the loss of Motz at first base. With him back In the game the Biucs will not ho able to do it over again. The Saints , too , have beci , given a little taste of high life. Detroit took a couple away from them , and Columbus has started out by doing the very same thing. There has been hardly a change in the column of the big league as a result of the \veok's work. Cincinnati Is still comfortably - ably ahead and Washington is as firmly in- stalied in the tail end , Cievelanil Is a good second and Louisville and St. Louis arc still sec-sawiiig for the second hole from the hot- torn. Now York , Boston and Baltimore nra playing fast and loose for three of the places In the first ( hivision ; Chicago antI Pittsburg are fighting for the Inst Itlaco in that. division , and Philadelphia nn.l .

Nearly all the gaines voii by these tennis have been copped out on their merits. The sccrt lies in the excellent form that their pitchers are In , Hawley , flrcitcnstein and Iflil of the Cincinnatis are a strong array of twirlers , and with the possible exCeption of Itusie , Mcckin and Nichols come near being better than any other iitchiers in the league. Cleveland , too , has a strong staff of slab artists. New York's sprint upward has been the result of much the same since Rusle anti Meekin rounded around Into shapd. These tw1riing , forces are more co'niistent than even Boston's and far more so thait Baltimore's , and the rest of the-ag- grcgatjous can hardly be Considered in the same class. Goeelp of hit Gasise. This is Pat Tebeau's tenth year wIth the Cleveland club. Itusie and NIchols are said to be winning games on the strength of their reputations this year. Frank Selee says that Seymour has ot snore speed than any other pitcher in tIm country , and has every conceivable curve that was ever used. Bobby Woods , the catcher , is warming 4 the CincInnati bench , and It's an even money bet that he sviii be shifted back to Il000slervllio before the season is far advanced. Pitcher Cunningham of the LouisvIlies has been twirling for welvo years. He is a sniaii , smooth-shaven nina , who would not be selected for a ball piayer.

During the last week the arrangements were made by which the street car company agrees to put in a two- minute service from the ioop at Fourteenth and Howard streets to the race track. In addition to that the company has agreed to inaugurate a twelve-minute service to the track from the Leavenworth street enten- aba on next Thursday.

FOR LOVERS OF GUN AND ROD State SportMnie.'eroirIcy it high Clase l3yent , but Very hard be the AinatelirM. The tournament held last week by the Nebraska Sportsmen's assocIation was a the- cided success. Cracks from oil over tile country were in attendance and the scores were very high. Every race was chose and such was tIle pace set that It required mighty good shooting to get In on the money. And pretty nearly everybody did do good shooting , for so many were in on the vurses that there were very few Who car- ricti off fortunes from the tourney. In only one respect could any fault be found with the affair. This consists In the fact that only three local shooters went through the program. The cause of it was that the boys hereabouts came to the conclusion that they would stand small show with such an array of talent that entered. It Icoked to them like a clear case of throwing away money. A man prominent in local shooting circles spoke as follows regarding this : "I am as enthusiastic a shooter as you are likely to find , but I would ho a big sucker to go up against such. a crowd as that. I am not in their class at all. I know it and consequently - quently do not propose to throw away my money to do it. Of course , it would be more patriotic for me to go In and make tim tourney a bigger success by dropping my plunks , but that Is a little too good a thing. " The question came up at the meeting of the association at the Millard hotel and was talked over by the goodly lot of members who attended. After a canvassing of the situation a motIon was made that in the future the events be confined to amateurs except such as be especially arranged for the professionals. An amendment , however , was made that the Lincoln clubs , which vIil have charge of the tournament next year , be allowed to solve the problem and in this way the matter was dropped. UnquestIonably If some such action as suggested in the niciio mentioned aboyn were taken a great deal of nddition&l later- est would be injected into future tourna. meats , although poseibl the races would not be so pretty , The totesaionals would be proidcd With a aI ( ' in the tourney antI they Would be sure to at- lend , even if , were not the whole thing , beeausd 'tky ' must. advertise.

Lincoln will have 'to do a good bit of hustling to surpass their results , The two state championships were interesting - esting and close. This was particularly the case In the live bird shoot. Only one 10811 came out in the ten hole and only two in the eleven , making only three of thu nine- tceii entries not in on the money , Itead was in the running up to his very last bird. In the ehootoff Jim Den hirnI hard luck , as the bird he lost dropped dead not more than a yard out of bounds. It was on the sixth bird that Loomis ( Implicit out and left the chianipionship to Snicad.

The two latter tieti for first with twenty-four apiece antI the other two had twenty-two , Parinalce won the emblem by the narrow margin of one to the good on the shootoff. EtI Smith and Angy McDonald left Friday evening for Lake Washington for four days of fishing. They will be back on Tuesday evening. The way people hereabouts are pulling bass out of the depths of Cut-oft lake ought to stimulate everybody to lend every support - port possible to the efforts of the Fish I'ro- tective association to protect the flnny inhabitants - habitants of that sheet of water. Oiio afternoon - noon Inst week Billy ififcr and Ed L.intlley went out and brought back with them a string of twenty-nine bass , weighing about sixty pounds. They caught a couple of three-pounders nuid a lot of smaller size , but of good weight. John MeDonaltl and George Shand went out for a couple of hours and also got a good string. A consitlcrable number of other fishiernien succeeded in .dragging up nice batches , During tile early ) ) nrt of the week Dr. Owen returned fromLakoVashington with a big loath of bass and pickerel and was highly enthusiastic cr the sport the body of water furnishes. . flo , was out two days and averaged 12 pcuuds a tiny.

Dr. Owen received word from the latter that he caught thirty-fIre pouuids in two hours. Federal Judge Munger , United States Mar- shah Thummel , Uiuitd States Distr1t Attorney - ney Sawyer and Clerk } Iihlie of the circuit court took a day of ! last week and went to Onawa for a day's fishing. The party was piloted by Deputy United States Mar- ehal Iloman. The fishermen caught about 100 pounds of bass and a few cropiy. The flshiing was excellent , but gives every prom. iso of being even better as soon as the season advances a bit. ' Last night Tom Brennan , Frank Chit- tendon , I'at McGraw and Mike Murphy I made up a party for Onawa for a couple of days' dallying with the hook and line.

Fred Goodrich has gone to Lake Quinne- baug for an outing and expects to be gone a week or two , "Small caliber rifles are coming more and more into fashion , " declared one of the cracks attending last week's shooting tour- uiament and who is also something of a field sport. "It was only a few years ago that nothing wouhd do but a 45-90 or a 32- caliber if a man wanted something for small game , Nowadayu the 30-30 Is sought after by those who go out after big game and much hewer bores are the thing for small game.
