vor generally carry out In a praiseworthy
style any undertaking which they take upon

cnuo for pnoumatln and cushion tires will.un
doubtedly draw many wheelmen there from
the tributary towns , and the very appropriate-
dntos for a nice three or four days' excursion
to the Queen City should attract many there
to witness tbo sport alone. Every accommo
dation for visitors will bo looked to. Sports

The Sitiuitl'iii Growing Squally.
Already there Is a cloud hovering on the
horbou of the Western base ball association.
This is as exasperating as It is regretful , and
thoroughly demonstrates the necessities In
the case. St. Paul isn't "drawing flies"
simply because her team Is four or flvo
games behind the leaders , and for some un
accountable reason Denver is pro wing
wabbly. What has bocoino of that $5,000
guarantun each club was obliged to have
deposited with Treasurer Krauthoff as a
surety for playing out the season ! It would
have served n handv term about now , but of
course was only a bluff. It seems that there
are no winning ball towns In this whole
circuit without winning teams. They
must all have them or fall by the wayside ,
nnd Omaha is no exception to the rule , h'o
far the patronage hero has been miserable ,
nnd with another spurt of bad luok would
grow worse. Lincoln is allvo simply by the
grace of the Farmers' peed fortune on their
first trip. Sioux Cl y is chaffing , as their
team is falling short of expectations , and
there U nn uucnsv rninblo In other quarters.
This Is all to bo lamented , but when ) Is the

The lady who holds llrst place among ten
nis players today is Miss Ellen C. Hoosovelt ,
writes Herbert Honshaw. It is an open ques
tion whether she is really the best among the
fair wioldcrs of the racket , but her tltlo of
champion , which slio won last summer from
Miss Towiisond , who hud hold it ever since
her memorable victory in 1SS8 , entitles horto
that distinction. She , with her younpor sis
ter , Miss Grace Hoosovolt , who Is considera
bly her Inferior , also holds the doubles cham
pionship. Miss Hoosovolt's skill has boon
largely developed by her former prnctlco
mutches with Miss Hobinson , nnd though
she usually defeated at that time her sub
sequent work would indicate that she is
now superior to ber instructress.
Both the sisters nro pronounced

becker stock and nro omen . of much refine
