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 form tho center of ama
teur athletic Interest throughout tho coun

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

thts kind In tho country. Tho program for
tho cruise, which takes place the present
week, haB been announced from tho flag

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

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

for a prlzo.

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. Now
