SPORTING BRIEFS. The Lincoln newspapers have at last reached the place where they have ceased to discuss the inferiority of the Sioux City club.

Omaha Bee: Unless Mannger Andreas has another catcher up his sleeve besides Cadman, he has trouble ahead. Manager Isbell, of Des Moines, declares he will reenter the infield as an active "hand." Good, and here's luck to thewold scout. He can play any position on the diamond, not excepting the battery. If he takes a notion to cover s'-c-ond he will be tho hottest old second baseman in this league. That was tha old spot on which he shone must brightly for Comlskey's White Sox.

ABOUT AMBERGRIS. A Curious Substance Indispensable in Perfume Manufacture. New York Herald: A press report -from Victoria, B.

the other day stated that a piece of ambergris estimated to ha worth $15,000 was taken from a whale killed by the whaler Pretriana, which arrived at that port July 5. This is haid to be one of the largest pieces ot ambergris ever found. Ambergris is supposed to be a morbid secretion of the liver of the white, found floating or washed afchore. It is'a little lighter than water, and might easily be taken for a piece of the bark of a tree. On examination, however, it is found to be of a waxy nature, streaked with gray, yellow and black and emitting a peculiar aromatic odor.

It faises at 140 to 150 decrees Fahrenheit, and at a higher temperature gives out a white smoke, which condenses into a crystalline fatty matter. It is found in all sizes, from one pound up to twenty or thirty, hut occasionally pieces weighing 1(0 or 210 pounls are found In whales. Ambergris has been known from an early some pharmacopoeias prescribing it for fevers and nervous complaints. It is sometimes mingled with the incense burned In churches, and is also put in certain kinds of wine to improve the "bouquet." But the great use of ambergris is in the manufacture of perfumery. Not that its fragrance is either very powerful or pleasing, but it possesses the peculiar property of causing other ingredients to throw out their odors and making them more specific and durable.

In this respect It bears a resemblance to the use of mordants iij dyeing, without which the colors would fail to become permanent. Hence all the ku-st perfumes contain ambergris, which is one cause of their costliness, and hence, also, the fact that "home made" cologne, for instance, smells only of alcohol. A Ball Player.

farmhand for 50 cents a day, laboring- from sunrise to sunset, and studying after midnight. From his eighteenth until his twenty-first year Mr. Sherman taught in country schools in Jasper and St. Clair counties, and in 1870 entered McKendry college in the latter county, paying for his course wlth the money earned as school There he made the acquaintance of Charles S. Deneeri, whose father was a professor of Latin in institution.

The young men were companions during their college 'years and have remained close friends since. Prof. Deneen manifested a deep -interest in the young school teacher. In 1SS2 Mr. Sherman was admitted to the bar.

He then returned to. McDonough county, where his father resided, and engaged in law practice. In 1SS6 he was elected county judge of McDonough county and retained the office until 1890. At the expiration of his term Mi Sherman formed a law partnership w-ith former Justice Tunnicllffe of the" supreme court in Macomb, where he since has resided. In 1896 h6 was' elected a member of the legislature from the Twenty-eighth district, which he has continued to represent.

Mr. Sherman at once took rank as a leader of the lower house and distinguished himself as a caustic and incisive orator. He was chosen speaker of the house in 1S99, being" nominated in the republican caucus by. acclamation. He again was elected in the Forty-second assembly, but was defeated by John S.

Miller for speaker in the Forty-third assembly. He served as lieutenant governor from 1904 to 1908. SETTLEMENT IS EXPECTED FIFTEEN UNION PLUMBERS ARE GIVEN TERMS. ARBITRATION IS NOT EASY Negotiations Must Be Carried On with Individual Masters Nonunion Men Given Permits to Return to Work. Union plumbers, who a week ago went on strike for higher wages, stated yesterday they expected all differences would be settled by the end of this week.

Fifteen men already have returned to work at the five shops which have effected an agreement with the union. Union men declare they are not holding out strictly for a closed shop. They state permits have been issued by the union to several nonunion men to return to work. These nonunion men walked out when the strike was called. It is difficult to arbitrate matters, the union men explain, because negotiations must be carried on with individual master plumbers instead of with a committee representing all of the masters.

The union men held a meeting yesterday morning at Labor itemple and discussed the situation. No action will be taken by the union electricians regarding their request for increased wages until Wednesday, it was stated yesterday by union men. They have asked that the new wage scale be put into effect at that time. A meeting of the union will be held Tuesday evening at Labor temple and at that time a course of action will be. outlined.

April 2S.1 Special: rlr the time being, or until the republic ans of Massachusetts express themselves on the presidential question on Tuesday, the republicans of South Dakota are not permitting themselves to become excited to which of the rival republican candidates for president will capture the ten deli-gates from South Dakota.

-It Is believed here as elsewhere In the country, that if President Taft captures all or the greater part of the delegates from Massachusetts his nomination Is assured, and In this event he will without doubt capture the ten delegates from South Dakota, as with the nomination of President Taft assured the fight against the administration in South Dakota would collapse. Tn the event ttfat Roosevelt defeats the president in Massachusetts, the supporters of the ex -president In South Dakota would take hold of the fight for the capture the delegation from this state with renewed energy, and there would be hot contest all along the line until the primary election on June 4. Even under these circumstances, the Taft men are confident they can capture for the president tiie ten delegates from South Dakota, basing their claims and hopes on the fact that the antladmiriistration vote tvill be divided between two separate lists delegates, one standing for Roosevelt and the other for La Follette, with the Taft vote united upon a single list of delegates. Interest in Senatorial Fight. Political interest in the state centers In the fight for the nomination to the office of governor and In the contest for Tinted States senator.

The senatorial contest especially is attracting much attention, and the newspaper supporters of the rival republican candidates are commencing to fill their columns with matters h.udatory of the candidate they are supporting. The leading, figure In the senatorial fight is Senator Gamble, who is et-king a renomination and reelection, lie recently arrived in the state from Washington and now is engaged In conducting a campaign In his own interest. The" battle ground of the senatorial con-U st will he that part of the state lying f-ur-t of the Missouri river, as it is conceded by those seeking to bring about the downfall of Senator Gamble that nf the candidates opposing him have the slightest show of carrying any of the precincts in the extensive region west of the river, which it is tut deputed has lined up solidly for the re-nominrJion and reelection of Senator (liimlde. Mis friends say he will run like a raoj Jiorse in the western half of t'ae state, and also will sweep the most populous portions of that part of the state cast of the river. The supporters of Senator Gamble say ta.it recent developments have made ai even more confident that at the primaries he will prove an easy vinn- and defeat his competitors by a bfndsome plurality.

They point out that ihe votes of those who are opposed to 1 i icncminatlon and reelection will be iced between three opposition Candida; in the pe' sens of Col. Melvin Grigs-bv. cf Sioux Falls: R. O. Richards, of Huron, Thomas Sterling, of Redfield while a larsre plurality of the republican votes will be united upon Senator Gam-no.

Inasmuch as Col. Melvin Grigsby stttnds' as the orisinal Roosevelt candidate for the United S'tates senate, it naturally is expected that practically the "entire vote of the Roosevelt men in South Dakota will be cast for him. Thomas Sterling stands as the La Follette candidate for the United States senate, he being on record as indorsing the candidacy of the Wisconsin statesman. Mr. Sterling, it is said, will not have the united La Follette support, for R.

Richards is himself in the field for election to the United" States senate as the only straight and original La Follette candidate, and his friends. declare he will the great bulk of the La Follette vote. The friends of Richards further say tat in addition to the bulk of the -La Follette vote, he also has a large personal following throughout the state which will stay with him tothe last. Fight for Governor. A battle royal is being waged between three republican candidates for nomination to the office of governor George Kgan.

Frank M. By.ne and Loomis S. Cull. Cull stands as the Black Hills candidate, although he is devoting a great "deal of his attention to securing support in the eastern half of the State. The 1 lends of Kgan and Cull are ejnphatic in the declaration that Byrne will secure a verv light vote in the Black Hills, their explanation of this being that the Vessev state administration is in disfavor" in the Black Hills by reason of having- attempted to enforce the "blue law" regulations there, and that the nomination and election of Byrne would mean a continuation of the policies of- the Ves-sey administration.

George W. Egan ha 3 devoted the past two weeks to campaigning in the Black Hills, and his friends assert that the republican vote of that part of the state will be divided between himself ami Cull and 'that Byrne will not figure much in the count. The supporters of Byrne dispute these claims, and express the opinion that Byrne will secure his full share of the heavy Black Hills vote. Bailroad Commissioner Contest. One of the most interesting contests now in.

PREDICTIONS OF HOT RACE AX-READY. VERIFIED, THOUGH. DRUMMERS AKE GOING STRONG St. Joseph Club Looks to Be Formidable Contender at This Stage of Race Sioux City Hitters Not Yet in Stride. Wlth the Westei league season just ten days old, only about three clubs in Tip O'Neill's circuit have given an indication of the form they will probably show in this year's race.

They are St. Joseph, Topeka and Lincoln. What the other five will do will be a matter of conjecture up to the middle of May. The fight for the pennant this year has been enlivened by the injection of four new managers into the league Andreas at Sioux City, Hughes at Wichita, Andrews at St. Joseph and Gear at Topeka.

Dwyer and Isbell are in new berths at Lincoln and Des Moines, while Hendricks at Denver and Arbogast at Omaha are "holdovers." The new leaders seem to be the ones who are getting the most out of their teams. St. Joseph and Denver appear to be 'the two clubs who are going to fight it out for first place this season. Although deprived of the services of Buck O'Brien and Casey Hagerman, two of the best twirlers in the league last year, Hendricks has still the nucleus of the splendid machine that copped the 1911 flag. Illness and injuries have temporarily handicapped the club.

Drummers Are Favorites. The Drummers appear to have no weak spots this year. The pitching staff is one of the most versatile that has ever been seen in the league and is large enough to be good every day in the week. Kelly, Borton, Zwilling and Powell are a quartette of hitters that cannot be discounted, and with Roth at third base and Barney Reilly back on second base the defense of the Josephines will be invulnerable. Right now they look to be favorites for the flag.

The Topeka club is at present up near the top of the percentage column and may hang there for a while. The Kaws, under Dale Gear, one of the best managers in the minor leagues, looks to be the "dark horse" of the Western league. With over a month's preparation 'n a southern training camp, the club started the season in prime condition. The personnel of the team is still an unknown quantity, but there seems to be little doubt that the Kaws are really in the race. Pa Rourke started the season at.

Omaha with one of the best collections of individual players in the league, but thus far the club has not shown anything like winning form. Arbogast is one of the headiest generals in the league, has a great bunch of athletes under his wing, some of them of near-major league caliber. The disposition of the owner to back the manager only as long as he is winning and the internal strife that seems to be a permanent fixture of the Omaha teams will have to be overcome before the flag will look natural around the Nebraska metropolis. Des Moines Has Jinks. Frank Isbell has undoubtedly had bad luck thus far at Des Moines, in view of the.

general belief that a bunch of veterans will always show their best paces when the season is young. The manager has threatened to get into the game himself, and this move will strengthen the team throughout. He has three strong twirlers on his staff Rogge, Faber and Douglas, but this trio will have to work overtime to keep the Des Moines "comebacks" in the race. The injection of new blood would probably work wonders when the stress of the mid-season struggles commences to wear. The Wichita club, under "Doggie" Hughes, has been getting away from the barrier in strong shape, as would be expected.

Hughes has the remnants of the great hitting Pueblo club to start the season with and will make the race interesting up to the close. With Isbell, Faber and Berger missing, the club appears to be somewhat weakened. It will be a strange turn of baseball fate if Wichita should finish eighth, as predicted by Jack Hendricks. Lopes for Cellar Position. The Lincoln Antelopes seem doomed for the bottom of the cellar, although they will recover somewhat from the terrible slump which has afflicted them from the start.

Manager Bill Dwyer is deservedly one of the most popular managers in the league and has won one pennant, but will need several more former White Sox players before he can be counted on. The club has shown erratic form, especially in its hitting, but with the rest of the clubs in the league hitting their stride, will have a rocky road to travel to overtake any of them. The Sioux City club, at present nestling just inside the first division, has not yet shown any of the form which its supporters anticipate. The new manager has had to rebuild the club throughout and this process will take time to finish. There is only one apparent weak spot upon the team, and the indications are that this will be remedied within a few daj'B.

The season started with only three dependable twirlers on hand. Miller, Campbell and Brown, two of whom won their games in the first series. Since that time Slaughter and Moser have been added to the string, and with one more dependable flinger the staff should be complete. The defensive end of the club is being whipped together in strong shape, and once the hitters in the team get in their stride the Packers will be formidable. Myers, Andreas, Ferell, Reilly, Breen and Cadman are hitters of established merit, and only time will be needed to round them into form.

No Game at Des Moines. Des Moines, April 28. Special: Today's game was postponed on account of rain. Manager George Andreas announced that Walter Miller will pitch Monday afternoon. He probably will be opposed by "Red" Faber, the former Pittsburgh twirler, last year with Pueblo.
