THE OMAILA -DAILY JtEE: SUKDAY. JULY 21, 1001. 0 ROURKEITES GOING WRONG OtLibs. Backers Gueuiic on Whtt Aili Their IndnftrioM Flnk Hamsters. LACK OF HITTING LOSES GAMES h'ttUH Koiirlnii llcuuuse Their Host Untter Sr:in to lie SnlTcrliiK from Corlmcretv VUliin unit Para lytic WIiik Work. Pursued by a persistent streak of poor batting, the Omuha baso ball tmm has paiscd a disastrous week abroad and If a decided reversal of form docs not occur within tho next few days the Omahas in 111 And themselves, when they return homo on August 0, a good deal further down the percentage column than third. But everyone Is hoping that tho change will come, and on this basis hope Is still high In the local breast that the Hourkeltcs will still pull out In the second place, to which they have no deservedly earned their way twice In tho last month. And It seems Incrrdlblo that there will not be a decided alteration In tho relative dally playing merits of tho team shortly. How a team that has dono such fine work as that ex hibited by tho locals at intervals since Juno 1 can long remain dormant In the position of steady losers In dinicult to understand. Tho stuff Is cortalnly there, at least In most suctions of tho nine, and It will undoubtedly show sooner or later. Whether tho awaken ing will como too Into or In ample time for n general and sweeping redemption Is a matter of conjecture purely. Various cuunco aro assigned by the fans who follow closely tho fortunes of tho tram for Its mishaps In tho way of a prcpondor nnco of defeats over victories recently. Homo, unabla to forgot tho mtscruAilo field ing game that was played nround tho dia mond lines for n short time, lay It to that. l)ut they havo neglected to note that for two weeks past the Inllaldcrn havo braced up cleanly, and not, one game during that timo has shown moro than two crrorti, the majority being better even than that, Such work Is very creditable, for errors uro cer tainly part of tho game, and tho most of tho trouble cannot bo layed to tho gamo put up whllo the team Is on the outside. Others again lay It to tho batting, and luud cries of protest and Indignation nro heard against tho men who aro falling off ho In thnlr hitting. There Is much truth In the dtatemcnt that batting Is losing tho games It does seem sometimes nn If a cer tain majority of Captain Stewart's men could not fall off a house nnd hit the ground. Omaha Is certainly batting much weaker than thrco at least of the teams which are opponents In' tho race for tho flng. Though thero aro a few old fa vorites who can generally be depended upon for something In tho lino of a safe drive, oven theso men have been falling at criti cal times too often of lato and thero now eocras to bo really no one worth dubbing "Old Reliable." Most remarkablo of all this falling off In tho battings hns been that of Frank Qenins. From a .000 clip ho lias dropped to a bare .200 gait and thero Is not a pret tier batter In tho league cither. In nil departments of baso ball this man shows perfect form, and at tho plate his eye for tho wheat and tho tares Is good. Ho raroly lots a strike go by nnd gets all tho balls that como his way. But of lato Frank has surprised his friends by getting only about two hits but of three games and has oven struck out thrco times. Other players, Lotchor, Calhoun, Stew art, Fleming, nil make hits with credltnhle frequency, but they somehow" cannot bunch them. The trouble may bo all In tho bat ting order, after nil and It Is probablo that this will undergo a revision as soon as the team returns homo, If not before. That may quaro everything. AQUATIC SPORTS POPULAR farces of Iowa llennttn niul Pro gram of Neir York Clnli'n Cruise. Aquatic sports form tho center of ama teur athletic Interest throughout tho coun try and also In England. That this claBs of athletics Is fast becoming established In tho west was well proven by the successful regatta held nt Lako Manawa by tho Iowa, Stato iRowIng association Inst week. That Interest in water amusements will become deepor rooted nnd moro widely distributed hero each year Is now ccrtnln. The great pending event of this nature Is the annual crulso of tho New York Yacht club, probably tho largest organization of thts kind In tho country. Tho program for tho cruise, which takes place the present week, haB been announced from tho flag ship Corona.

' stripped down like gladiators and gone at It with a will the past week. The most remarkablo thing about It, how ever, Is tho uniformly high scores that havo been made. It seems as If no one could throw under 200 any more, and many battl ers ore staying away abovo that mark nil the time. This Is supposed to bo a cold weather sport, but tho hot summer Is cer tainly bringing out a row of high scores that no winter week could outrival. Here are some of them: Clark's Alloys Frank Conrad, 21"; V. F. Schneider, 232; William Ambrustcr, 213; 11, C. Yost, 211; C. J., Francisco, 202; D, U. Skinner, 203; W. W. Hartley, 202; W. II.

Cole, 222, 217, 231, 201, 210. Tho score of 217 nt tenpins rolled by Frank Conrad looks better than anything that has been dono at that gamo so far this month, nnd It seems probablo that ho will got the July prize on tho strength of that record. Charles French won a weekly prlzo by making 27 thrco times straight In ninepins. A tenpln prize for tho week fell to the lot of William Ambrustcr, who threw 243. No ono has so far topped tho 7fi mark mado by U. O, Shrndcr at fourback, so It Is still good for a prlzo. Ovqr at tho Gate City alloys everybody has been rolling hard ngalnst that 257 score whtch John Yocum has chalked up at ten pins. Thero am several players who have vowed to cut this down before tho end of tho month nnd thus spoil It for tho July prize, but they have not been nblo to make good so fnr.

Despite tho summer depopulation tho army of Omaha golfers seems scarcely di minished. A vast exodus of those whose leisure gives them time to leave town In an nttcmpt to dodge tho h'e.U has ap parently mado but little Inroads upon the numbers of tho golf playing clan.. That Is largely because tho hot "weather does not bother them. Any ono who goes out every afternoon and chases a gutty sev eral miles In the broad glaro of the sun for fun will not bo seriously affected by tho attacks of Old Sol during tho day's work. No giddiness assails Bitch as these If they walk down tho hot paved streets In the sun nnd their appetites aro not Im paired because of tho high temperature. Hot days do not stop the Scotch game nor affect Its players. Thero Is no place. where, n better breeze Is always to bo found than right on the links und It Is Impossible to ploy much golf without being In such good physical trim and training, that there Is no fear to be felt of sunstroke or pros tration. But of course no new players arc start Ing In during this spell. They would not be able to endure It, nnd It Is n fact that, no golf beginner has made his debut since July 1. The others are all hardened ami acclimated, but they are not Inviting their unused friends out to court destruction at tho hands of tho sun during this unusual exhibition of hot days. Though the heat ennuot stop the game, It docs do some th'lngs, One is to put an end to bare-headed playing. It Is a favor lto stunt of a large majority of golfers to do tho game without nny hat, und In many ways this Is a great advantage. 11 Is absolutely unnecessary In golf to havo your eyes shaded, as you are looking straight at tho ground nlways when you use them in mnklug a stroke. Sun can blind the tenuis player cr tho base ball man, but not the golfer. Again, any headgear more extensive than a cap Is likely to be sorely In thu way of tho club In swinging on full strokes. Nothing can bo more disconcert lug thnn to have a golf club suddenly foul on your hntbrlm Just as you nro curling the neck of It around your own In prepara tion for a shpt. It Is sure to throw you out of true, and It n straight foozle docs not result the ball will certainly bo cither topped, sliced or pulled more or less. Another way lu which a hat seriously affects golf is in Its unsteady scat during a stroke, A wind, which Is always blow ing with moro or less strength, catches the brim and loosens tho hat from thu place to which It ,hnd been so firmly Jammed down, anil then tho tilt and swln of tho stroko do the rest.. The player clthor loses his hat entirely every time ,ho tries ,to hit the ball, or feels It loose on his head and about to fly off, and In that- case ho Involuntarily ducks to tho wind . with his. neck away, and spoils his stroke. Still, most of tho local players , wear hats rathe'r than cflps, and In' this they aro tho wonder of .visitors from other courses. Not single, one of tho host of Intercollegiate, amateur, professional nnd state champions over this country wears Ta hat In 'the game; anil yet" tho Omahansidu It and put up good golf, too. This ap plies solely to the men. Women como out bare-headed always. Whether the, mascu line portion Is afraid of Its complexion or delights In a handicap of tho kind which a hat affords Is unknown. But Omaha golfers aro peculiar In that they make a hit out of everything, what ever It may be. Compelled by tho fierce sun to wear hats they carried It to an extreme to give zest, to tho bright side of tho hardship and now there Is a deadly strlfo on at tho Country club to seo who can exhibit the most astonishing head pieco on tho links. Fantastic shape, cheap ness, strango rantcrlal and size are all In eluded In tho category of details by which tho hats are Judged, and some of tho creations which appear aro marvels of In genulty nnd long searching In the depart ment stores and along hawkers' row. This bit of humor Injected Into the golf ha( business will easily wear away tho unpleas antness of the necessity until It becomes so cool again that they may bo discarded. In weather like this caps will not' suffice, for they make the head all the hotter and do not keep off the sun. So golf nt the Country 'club Is flourish ing and thero aro some things which ren der It especially, fascinating Just now. One Is that longer shots can bo secured Just at this time than ever before. The long hot spell has burned tho turf down very close and the grass Is thoreforo not only short but slippery. When n ball 'hits this glassy surface after a Journey through tho air It glances off like a stone from the water and afte.r .skipping a considerable dlstanco will then roll on rods further. So with the ground almost as smooth ns a floor a goodrouqd golf ball will m,ake great uisianco ana some phenomenal drives and brassoy- shots have boon mado during tho week. Whero formerly a clean carry of 150 yards meant only from ten to twenty more on a roll through tho thick young green grass, now when such a ball finds enrth It Is good for anything from forty to eighty yards on the slide and many shots that almost reached tho 300 yard mark have-resulted. But In other ways this broiled turf Is a detriment to tho game. In tho first place it Is slippery nud hard to walk on, but that is not a very serious matter. Tho great trouble Is thnt tho shortening and thinning of the grass has left exposed tho little hollows In the turf surface and these play havoc wth a rolling ball, cfpeclnlly on a short stroke. When tho grass grew thick and could bo kept mowed evenly the ball would glide over such a little hollow on top of the OMAHA, NFII. tufts and never notice It. But now the gutty foes down In and la deflected from Its course more or less. In putting this difficulty Is chiefly notice able. The greens havo become too hard and that again always results In uneven ncsses, sharp depressions and llttlo hill ocks, which do not exist when the turf Is moist nnd springy. So, putting Is" now more guesswork than It was and the greens cannot bo expected to recover tone till after a good rain. Theso faults will more than counteract the beneflts of the longer drives and Held shots and scores that are a llttlo higher than usual may be expected for a time. IOWA REGATTA A SUCCESS Happy Combination nf fSnnil Fellow ship, timid HiktIiik nmt (lood Wnrn Weather Sport. Tho seventeenth annual regatta of tho Iowa Stato Amateur Itowlng association, held nt Lake Manawa Tuesday and Wednes day, was a carnival of goodfcllowshlp, good sportsmanship and good racing. When this association was first organized nt Cedar Rapids In 1SS3 It was Its purposo that au annual race meet should bo held, whero not only tho Interests of aquatic tports should be promoted, but rIso meetings whero sports for sport's sake should be duly emphasized. That this last regatta fills admirably the high requirements of the tradition of tho organization goes without saying. It Is a matter of regret that more of tho boat clubs of the state were not represented. Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Spirit Lake, Storm Lake and several other Iowa towns have clubs and facilities for turning out flrst-clnss crews and should havo had their representatives at the meet. Only four clubs sent their crews to the .starting flags this year, Sioux City, Ot tumwn, Dubuque and Council Bluffs. Sioux City, Ottumwa and Dubuque can each boast of considerable veteran material, each club having to Its credit n number of medals that tell of victory at provlous re gattas. Council Bluffs made Us Initial ap pearance at racing with a boat of green ma tcrlal, which had but three weeks' prep aration In the shells, and will consequently have to wait until next year for their medals. In tho Dubuque senior four every one was a veteran, being the self-same crew that took tho same raco last year, making a new state record of 3:02U- D. D. Myers, bow, has been bow for winning crews since 1S9S, making his debut that year with the winning Dubuque, Junior, four at Ottumwa, C. F. Mchlhop, No. 2, and B. J. O'Nell, Jr., stroke, are probably the two best men nt their positions In tho state, while C. M. Healey,. No. 3, was with the winning Junior double and senior at Storm I.ako nnd took the free-for-all event at Spirit Lake in '31. Ottuniwn' IiiiiIiik. This was Ottumwa's year good and plenty, taking the two hardest fought races of the meet, tho Junior four and tho Junior double, nnd then rubbing It In by running off with the senior two-oar event. Ot tumwa brought over an abundanco of ex perience with which to do the trick. In Captain Ktlby, bow, Ottumwa has one of tho veteran otjrsmen of the state, nnd one who stays right with hU boat until tho flag Is crossed, winning or losing. In '91 Kllby and Lyons mado a new stato record at Storm-Lake for the double skull event, doing the- half mile and turn In 3:06. Dan Stock, No. 2, has boon In tho races since "JS, winning the slnglo skull face that year at Ottumwa. Oraham, No. 3, mado local famo, several years ngo as a bicycle rider, and this meet was his first race In a boat. Ho'was ,lnto tho gamo at every ,stroko and Will probably be heard from at. future re gattas. George HUpprth, stroke, deserves much, cr.edlt for tho race which Ottumwa took so prettily from Dubuque'. Ruppeck kept his r boat woll under control In the critical point of the race, with Dubuque less than five feet In tho rear, when tho least unsteadiness or an uneven stroko would have lost the race right at tho flag. In Sioux City's boats eat as good ma terial as there Is In the state when they are In shape, as their previous records show. But they lacked tho preparation pecessnry to row a fast raco with a sprint on tho finish, nnd whllo on the first quarter they showed a stroke and speed that looked like a winner, they lacked the staying power for a race.

Tennis playing for tho season Is at Its zenith just now In Omaha nnd In that particular the Gato City Is not a whit behind tho eastern tennis localities. July and August aro tho months of the great tourneys tho country over and It Is there fore natural that the cracks should be In tho best of fprm by this time. They be gan playing In April wherever possible, and, anyway by iMay 1,. so tho two months nnd more Intervening have been Just long enough to allow them to get fit and fast. As In any other sport or style, the great nrmy of thoso who Indulge to a less extent or merely for pleasure' follows tho lead of tho stars. So when tennis experts an nounce that they will begin the season's play In Mny.courts all over the country arc put In shape as near that time as poj slblo. In Omaha this season May and June were tho busy, court making months, and the local players were Just a little late In this regard. This was due, however, tq tho fact that It was a revival year for tonnls in Nebraska and practically every court established was an absolutely new one, and so more time was consumed in the prepara tion of them.; .. Hot Weather, nn Incentive. But now everything ,1s In full swing and tho hot spell has brought' "out ,thb very best tennis players. 'There Is nothing like a good broiling sun to limber up one's slnows and Joints and to make brain and eye keen, quick and active It Is so with all rapid sports. Wherever great or con tinuous or rapid exortlon Is required tho hot sun Is an added spur and this Is es pecially true of tennlB. It Is .a bareheaded game, too, and It Is only those who have become inured to tho heat and the strain by constant practice for weeks back that daro to venturo on a baking clay court In this l60degree -weather. Thero Is no gamo whero a player Js so continually ex posed. All other contests have tholr sides and Innings and ins and outs at Intervals, so that after playing five or ten minutes ono gets a chance to rest In the shade as long again. But not so tennis. You start In and .you stick till It is all over. If tho matchhappens to bo tho best three out of five sets, that is likely to mean anywhere from three to five hours of play. Formerly It was the custom to take a good long breathing spell between each set, but now It Is the voguo to leave out even this slight respite, for It lies with the players and those who pride themselves on their superior endurance have taken up tho trick of Insisting on keeping right at it without even a drink' of water. This Is a terrible hardship to the ono who has not an equal stamina and weakens him so ns to causo his play to deteriorate to a marked degree. Scores of courtB are now scattered ovor Omaha, and In that way tho city aecms almost to havo gono back to tho summers of 1894, 1895 and 1896, when there'wns such a fover for tho game. In those days every back yard and cow lot was a- tennis court, miniature, perhaps, nnd very likely rough and uneven, but oVoryone wished to got In tho game and thero was not room In Omaha for all the full-slxed, flrst-class clay courts that were wanted, Practically all of tho courts here now aro clay, and most of them are In lino shape. This Inst two weeks of burning sun has been tho Ideal thing for courts to which water Is handy. A good wetting down with a hose each morning and even ing, and then about sixteen hours of sun play on the clay surfaco, makes it hard and smooth as a floor. Change In Style, Tho tennis revival has brought about a considerable change In the stylo of play. Formerly a great many short strokes nnd half-arm shots were In use, and the wrist stroke for not work was also then very popular. But now everything is tending toward the full-arm shots. Tho best form now Is a big swing, bo It over, under or side-hand. It Is, moro powerful and far more gracoful than tho chopping work which originally rose from a nervous de sire to plsy nlways safe. The big free arm action Is not ns certain ns tho other at first, but It can be devel oped to a high degree of accuracy, and Is then much more effective. Kvon at the net thin Is coming more Into use. Instead of playing right ngalnst tho strings as before and meeting all balls with a snap action, the net man now plays back far Into the service court and gives more time to his play, more thought to Its di rection and more swing to his stroko. In another way tha new game Js con siderably different from tho other of eight years ago. In playing doubles the old side court system Is seldom seen now, Everything Is front and back, Then It was the custom for partners to take each one side of the double court ta handle.
