The Universities turned the tables on the visitors from Blencoe , la. , yesterday. One of the reasons for the reversal can be seen by comparing the error column of the two games , the Universities yesterday playing an almost faultless game. Mcllvalne did great work for the locals , striking out six teen men. Skully. an Omaha man. pitched for the visitors and was touc-hed for four teen hits. Other features of the game were Lawler s batting and Abbott's home run drive. The game -was called at the end of the seventh inning to allow the visitors to catch u train. Score : UNIVERSITY. AB. R.

Des Molnes hav ing already won the Richard's trophy twice , will make every effort to win It the third time. Des Moines has a strong team , as the Omaha club has learned by actual contact. Still. Omaha has fine whim players , and It Is : ioped that the club will at once put a team in training for the contest next Feb ruary. Saturday night , July 31 , the Omaha Whist club tried a new system of play , by means of which each pair could play against every other pair during the play of the thirty-six boards. The system was neatly worked , out and the result of the scores would have been most satisfactory but there was one rerJous drawback The number of changes at the tables consumed too much time , anil about midnight several pairs dropped out and the scheme was not completed. On Wednesday night there was a large patherlng In the contest for the button * Eight tables were filled , and the scores at the dose of the evening stood as follows : North and South Allee and Marshall 231 Jones and Melkle 229 Cahn and Johnson 223 Bird and Scrlbner.

While this method has a tendency to foster what "Cavendish" would designate "whist fads , " and also Is unsatisfactory to a number who have not been able to secure satisfactory partners who can attend regularly , fitlfl there has been something to say on the other Ride. Many do not care to run the chance * of playing each nlrht with a part ner who plays an entirely different gurnet and Insists on It belnc equal if not superior to any other. However , the Omaha Whlsl club , being the most harmonious crowd that ever assembled regularly for any purpose , It was only neicessary to suggest u com promise to have it adopted , and it was de cided unanimously that every Baliirduy night during the month of August the mem ber ) nhould cut for partners. It U thought that this plan will be made perpetual and that much good will lenult to the club.
