Van Bicklen run the fame, though. ' a. Hitting again. It only needed a few iwata to put the Omaha tc-ain Into ita winning stride. No question exists as to the ability of the Champions to outplay the others every place but at the, bat, and now that the boya have their eye on the bail a different record 1.1 looked (or. The aiump in hitting, while most annoying, is one that comes to every team at some time, and its eCftct is doubly dlsastrlous, for it generally dis courages the player so that he falls off in tils other work, too. But the Rourke fam ily has held up well under the distressing conditions, and the men have kept their nerve wonderfully well. Each one worked with a d'-sporation that meant the other fellow had to hustle to win the game. That was shown last Sunday, when Omaha snatched an eleven-Inning contest a"-ay from Denver. In which the Grlzxlles outbatted iho home team by more than two to one. It was the snappiest of field ing, fast and clean, and the most daring work on bases that won the game. In the last Inning, for example, when Carter came home on Iol.in's bunt, the score chows that Carter made the run on Els ler's error. As a matter of fact. Carter would have come home easily, for It was one of the prettiest "squeexe" plays ever pulled off. and the daring of it put the Denver men up in the air. The bunt had been signaled to Carter, who had a long lead off second, and he started for third as only he can run. He was around third and tearing for home before the ball had settled on the ground, and was over the plate before Slsler dropped the wild throw from Vollendorf. Omaha never saw a pret tier run for home than that was. That's the sort of work the team has been doing everywhere but at the bat, and now that the batting is getting better the opposition is going to have its hands full whenever It meets Omaha. Jf Tp to date the race has been a pretty ''one: Des Moines Is getting together a very r.lre lead, but the others are hanging on ie grim death, and the Vnder writers are not going to get so very far away from the bunch as was thought. The Moun taineers haven't made their usual tear yet. but there's something coming off. Tommy Delehanty has put quite a bit of life Into the Colorado Pprlngs team, and although it la still In last place. It is fighting every Inch of the way and makes the race a waotti nti Tliirni will strengthen wherever Is nedeed. and proposes to get up near the top before many days. The attendance has not been what It ought to be, owing to the cold, wet weather, and the owners feel a little discouraged on this' account. Whenever the day has been at all encour aging, nice crowds have been out. Des Moines Is drawing even better than last season, and that Is saying a good deal. while gioux City Is turning out the hand some crowds promised. Omaha has sent a big crowd on every good day and a paying crowd on the bad. but when the weather warms up so that the people can go out In comfort, which means shirt sleeves, the crowds will be there as usual. Last Sunday's attendance waa Just a sam ple of what may be expected, and it was over 4.0CO. One of the most enjoyable features of the season, so far has been the promptness with which the umpires have suppressed the rowdy player. The slightest sign of insurrection means the removal of the kicker from the game, and the contest goes on. It Is a little bit singular that the most serious offenders so far have been men from the Pacific coast. Wonder what kind of training they give players out there. If Ganley and Pt. Vraln are ! amples? The umpires have been Instructed by President O'Neill to maintain discipline on the field at all costs, and they are earn ing the gratitude of the public by doing It. Hogriever has been one of the moBt per sistant offenders, and last Sunday at Sioux City, more, than two hours were spent on a nine Inning game, the delay being due One of the young men who turn out dope for Des Moires, added two new cities to the Western circuit during the week, annex ing Joplln of the Western Association cir cuit and Pueblo. This story was sent out In telegraph and gained much more cir culation than It did last fall, when It was first proposed. There's Just about as much pn.bahllty of Jopiin and Pueblo being sdlel to the circuit, at this time as there is of Mukdn and Vladivostok. During the Inter, the situation was pretty thoroughly gone over, and the claims of Joplln and Pueblo were canvassed and turned down. If any one Is sufficiently Interested to look up the map. he will note the disadvantages of the circuit, suggested and understand why th magnates decided, they wou'.d not invad" Doc Shlveley's territory. The bat ting averages ought to keep the boys busy during the playing season, so the circuit may be left for winter consumption. Otis Clymer Is either a much-abused player or he is a disgrace to the game; this point Is being much discussed in ba.e ba!l circles, each side being equally vehement. The net result so far Is that Del Howard Is enabled to give the Pittsburg club the best service It has had In right field for some time. It is not at all unlikely that when the suspension of Clymer Is out that Fred Clarke will find the position so well filled that the man with the spikes will be allomed to rest on the bench. Howard Is not the only player from the Western who is now getting his name In the papers of the big league towns, for all the boys are doing well, and delighting their friends by their work. . ft Races have been planned for June by the Manawa Boat club, and In the mean time the boats at Manawa are being trained for the event as well as boats from other nearby towns. Interest has been put in the racing game at Manawa by the appear ance this year of several new boats, which bid fair to become important factors In the game. E. W. Dixon of this city has the Priscllla, which was buolt by J. E. Kamaly of White Bear, Minn. The Lotus club of St. Joseph has again sent a challenge for the Manawa challenge cup and the date for the sailing of the races has been fixed for June 2, 23, 24 and 23 on Lake Mariana. Three times have- the St. Joseph boys tried for the cup, and this, the fourth, they will make a greater effort to carry back the cup than Sir Thomas promises to do on his fourth trial. Trial races are now In progress at the lake to determine which local boat will have the honor of repre senting the club against the challengers, and the brushes between the Priscllla, the Argo and the Manawa are watched with interest, although It Is thought by many that the new boat has an edge on the chances. w mi Ua in T 1 M Wben a "Hercules" boy is out on pleasure bent and the clouds commence to gather black and drizzle rain, does his mother worry about his getting wet to the skin? Never; she has no occasion to; she knows that he will 6tay out in the rain, that's boy nature, but she knews, too, that he is wearing a Hercules' shower-proof suit. Our claim that a "Hercules" boys' suit is shower-proof isn't an advertising uouge; it is a iact. If manufacturer can waterproof cloth and cut It up into rain-coata, that usage proves shower-proof. why can't we do the same thing and cut up the clsth in Beys' Suits? That's Just what we do. The cloth we use in Boys' "Hercules" suits is put through the rain-coat shower-proof process before we make it up: then why lin't a "Hercules" Boys' '5ji g rain coiTtoc ? """ " In fact a 'Hercu'es" suit Is more thorough! shower-proof than most rain-coats, especially the cheaper kind: the cioth is better quality, closer woven and ALL WOOL.

Hags, commodore; Fred Empkie, John McAllister. A. J. Cooley and H. A. Tukey, which will have charge of the racing. Races already scheduled for this committee are for the Huberman cup in class A and the Lindsay cup in class B, Decoration day. Fourth of July and Labor day. Club series for the Jacquemin cup in class A and the Bowling cup in class B, June J, 10 and 17, July J, S, 15, 23 and August S. The crews of the boats: Priscllla Clarke. Cooley. Brinker and Tukey. Argo McAllister. Stevens. Keed and Sad ler or Weston. Manawa P. Coley. Dixon. Shlverlck. The class B boats are: The Xenia. Fa vorite. Grebe, Swallow, Petrel, Vitesse, By George. Golf Is fairly on at both of the clubs and more are taking to the sport than in any previous season. Although the wet spring has kept many from the links, the old dyed-ln-the-wool players have been out, rain or no rain, in spite of the fact that they were not permitted to play on the greens, which were being nursed for the wanner days. Gibson, at the Field club. has been at his greens twenty-four hours day all spring, and they show the ef fects of this continual nursing. Play for the Foster cup was postponed from yes terday until some future day, when the committee will be enabled, with more records at hand, to do a better Job of handi capping. This cup is too valuable to go to some new player because he has been given too much of an advantage In making out the handicaps. Cards have been sent to all the players asking them to send to the committee the record of their best three performances, and with these to go by the committee hopes to start the season with the handicaps in a better balanced condition. The addition of forty acres to the Country club course is a boon to the golf enthusiasts of that club, as it will give the much needed room and make the course one of the best in the west. Archery Is being considered at the Coun try club, and several bows and books on I the subject have been sent for, in order to post up. If this sport Is undertaken the club will hare to add another forty acres to give room for the darts to fly without danger of losing an eye while watching for the golf ball to try to lose itself. A cry of 'fore" with an arrow speeding at your head would make the most hardened athlete a trifle nervous. ft Bellevue college athletic teams have been followed by by a great deal of 111 luck this year. Last fall Captain Moore of the foot ball team was so dangerously hurt in the Crelghton game. In the early part of the season, that he was not able to play In any of the remaining games of the season. This spring Captain Rice has not been In his best condition at any time, and now, after being laid up for two weeks with a bad gash In the head, the physician tells him that he must give up base ball for the remainder of the season. This has had tendency to discourage the members of the team, as Rice la a good second base man, and his leadership also Is greatly missed. In spite of this handicap the team got together last Friday and pulled out a victory against the Wesleyan uni versity team, which came here fresh from Its victory over Crelghton university. Brown, who struck out twelve men and allowed but two hits, was mainly responsi ble for the victory. covering, and each tent will accommodate one or two persons, as desired. The dining tent Is tmenty by fifty feet. The Pahaska Tepee Is a mammoth log structure, 1"0 feet long, and Including porch and veranda, la eighty feet wide. It will accommodate forty jople without overcrowding. It Is the largest log building In the Rocky mountains and Is sixty-four miles from Cody. The Wickiup is located cn Elk Fork, at the Junction of the Wapiti, the FJk Fork, the Sweet Water and the North Shoshone rivers. Unexcelled fishing Is found within 1"0 paces of the Wickiup, mountain trout, salmon trout, rainbow trout and brook trout. Middle Fork is higher than the Wickiup. The waters are colder and there are a number of springs In the vicinity. Bear, mountain Hon, tim ber wolves and several varieties of deer are found In this vicinity. Mountain grouse and other game birds are plentiful. No guides are needed for regular trips to the Wickiup, the Tepee or the Lake hotel and the park. The Wickiup and Tepee will be ready for business by the first day of June. Barney Oldfield will be the big attraction at the Omaha-Council Bluffs automobile meet, which has been fixed for June and I at Union par, across the river. The meet will be given In conjunction with the Iowa State Firemen association's twenty seventh annual tournament. H. E. Fred erlckson of Omaha and Ed E. Hart have been busy for the pest week In perfecting the final arrangements and In making the positive appearance of Oldfield an assured fact. Oldfield Is the world's champion auto racer for every dlstmce from one mile up to fifty. The mile record of 0:53 was made at Los Angeles In December. 14. with his Peerless machine, commonly known as the Green Dragon. He will have this famous car with him and will drive It at the race meet against time. The management has been to an expense of over tl.OX) to get Oldfield here. His trials across the river will be against time for distances from one mile to ten and the machine will go some, as the track Is a mile track with wide curves, which will permit of a high speed. When the meet has been advertised a little more Mr. Frederlckson says that he feels certain that there will be many entries from the east In addition to the large num ber of local auto owners who will take this occasion to settle their differences. Sv All classes In the gymnasium work at the Young Men's Christian association have been abandoned for the summer and the members are compelled to take their exercises out of doors or by themselves without the aid of the Instructor, who is devoting most of his time to open air sports. Five courts have been built on Twentieth and Farnam for the exclusive use of members of the Toung Men's Chris tian Association Tennis club. No one can become a member of the tennis club who is not a member of the Toung Men's Christian association. There are at pres ent forty members of the tennis club, and these were enabled to start play Thurs day afternoon at the new courts. This central location for such good courts will become very popular as It will enable busi ness men to play a game of tennis and still be within a few blocks of the lockers and bath of the Toung Men's Christian as sociation building. J. G. Pentland, physi cal director of the Toung Men's Christian association, has had personal supervision of the construction of the courts, and nothing has been spared to make them high class in every particular. Concord. Neb., has scheduled a race meet and carnival for June t All sorts of games have been arranged, trcluding basket ball, base ball races and foot races. The basket ball game will be between Dixon and Wakefield for a purse of $".0 and the ball game will be between the same two towns for a purse of fci. The speaker of the day will be Congressman J. J. McCarthy. The original date of the carnival was May 23, but the committee has decided to chang this because of the wet season, which has I 'delayed the planting of corn. Summer trips are now being planned by all who can get away from town during the hot season. Many are planning trips to fishing resorts, where there are hotels to accommodate all comers and where person can sit with his feet under a table and enjoy all the luxuries of home. Some prefer the milder life of the mountains, and for such a Cne new trip has been planned I from Cody. Wyo., through Yellowstone park, that ran be taken In several ways Cody has been recognised for years as a fitting out point for Rocky mountain hunt ing parties and Its popularity Is Increasing each year. The Wapiti Wickiup Is thirty eight miles from Cody. The Wickiup buildings are made of boards In unique st1e, and for the present will accommo date forty people. The buildings will be with buard floor and sides with canvas The hand-ball tournament Is still In progress at the Toung Men's Christian as sociation building, the games being played in the gymnasium, and on the north court. Games are played each day, and a player falling to appear his game Is forfeited to his opponent. If the players agree the hour of play may be changed, but not the day, and all games must be played on the day scheduled. The schedule v. 1:1 be com pleted June 7, when the winners will be announced. All games are best two out of three, a.id they are arousing consider able Interest among the players and spectators. The players are: Neville, O Keefe, Sturgesa, Hill, Bundy, Powell. Willard, Wharton, Nelson, Van Dyke, Greenleaf and McCarthy. w Matinees will soon be put on at the Omaha Driving club track on North Twen tleth street, as the track is in excellent condition and the horses are fast round ing Into shape under the care of the train ers who have them in charge. The affairs of the club are in good condition under the guidance of Fred A. Nash as president and James W. Carr, secretary. Charles A. Crelghton has charge of the track and he has put his experience to work and has the old course In splendid condition, not only for working out of the new fait ones. but also for the matinees when the di rectors decide to put one on. Floyd Camp bell la supervisor of the stables, and nearly all of the stalls are filled with horses in charge of experienced trainers, who daily give them their own outs. Many of tho Omaha members of the club who had one horse last year have two or more this year and, besides, new members have Joined the club, so that the number of horses which are to be seen on the track this year is far In excess of any previous year. The completion of many of the boulevards gives more of an opportunity to anve man Dei ore ana horsemen are able to enjoy an evening's drive on well kept roads without going on the pavements or macadam to any great extent. The visits of Dr. C. de Garmo Grey last week gave an impetus to horse show matters and brought out the fact that many Omaha lovers of the horse, hsve been quietly making purchases in anticipation of the horse show this fall. W. H. Mc Cord has Just received three new beauties hlch will be nursed and prepared for the great fall event at the Auditorium. It Is now planned to have an automobile racing circuit Just as the trotting associa tlons and bicycle organisations have been conducting for years. The plan Is to have certain events at each one of these meets which will permit a motor car owner to have a race every week during a couple of months of the racing season. It will be under the rules of the American Auto mobile association. - As Indicating the tremendous increase times. He piloted the car during the entire Journey, and the m tor did not stop an In stant. This is taken as evidence that the automobile as a factor for traveling Is no perfected ; for the feat. If accomplished on a straight road, wovlu carry the driver from New York to Chicago In less than twenty-four hours, something that only one or two of the fastest express trains are now able to accomplish. Mr. Wridgeway's time for the LftO miles was twenty-five hours and fifty minutes, which beau the best previous record by more than four hours. At night he drove through a lane of red lights fastened on the fences that enclosed the course. With him on the ride was Roy Waasen, who did excellent work on the motor when the occasion required, even when the car was traveling at an average speed of forty miles an hour. A still greater test of automobiles is prom ised for the Morris park track on .June I and 10. when there will be a twenty-four-hour race open to the world. Most of the prominent American manufacturers have signified their Intention of entering to prove that 1.0CO miles for a good American car Is nothing out of the ordinary. One manu facturer whose car finished third In the Vanderbilt cup race will enter a stock car of the same type that traveled so well in that historic event.- Canada will be represented by a team In the matches for the Olympic team golf cup. which will be played on the Chicago Golf club course on August 1. Last year the Olympic Individual cup at St. Louis was won by George S. Lyon, a Canadian. On his trip here he was accompanied by President A. W. Austin of the Lambton Country club at Toronto, from whom the Idea of sending a team to this country emlnated. The team will represent the Royal Canadian Golf association. Last year the Olympic team cup was won by a Chicago team with Chandler Egan at its head, which the Canadians will have to defeat to gain possession of the trophy. Colonel John Jacob Astor recently sent to the Runs and Tours committee of the New Tork Motor club offers of cars for the Orphans' day celebration on June .. As the time draws near the cars are be ing offered In increasing numbers, and the committee has no fear that LX oars re quired to give 5.000 children a ride, will not be forthcoming. The committee took ix cars placed at their disposal by dealers and gave some of the children of the Hebrew Orphan asylum a trial ride the other day. Tho children were delighted with the test. It Is reported that Joe Tracy recently gave the Thomas Locomobile a speed try out on a road near Bridgeport. Conn., and covered a mile the first time in S8 seconds. the second nine in 60 seconds, and the third time In 45 seconds. The last Is faster than any car ever went on an American road, and ties the official road record mile scored by Henry W. Fletcher with the eighty-horse power Gabriel de Dietrich In Cuba last February. It Is expected that the Automobile clubs racing committee ill give the Locomobile an official try- out some time this week, and that the car will be shipped to France immediately thereafter. New York lawn tennis players were agreeably surprised the other day to learn of another Invasion of English courts planned by American players. Reports from California state that Miss May Sut ton, who won the American championship for women at Philadelphia last June, has decided to try for greater honors In Eng land this summer, and she will start for the other side shortly In order to get in some practice abroad before the champion ship matches at Wimbledon In June. Miss Sutton is easily the strongest woman player ever seen on American courts. She is young and very active and has played with men more than women ror years at ner home in California. Up to last season she had never been seen in the east, but her first appearance at Wlssahlckon last spring was signalised by her overwhelming vic tory In the championship matches. She easily outclassed all of the other women players entered and finished a fine week's play by winning a one-sided match from Miss Bessie Moore, the former champion, In the challenge round for the title. Amer ica will be well represented abroad this season on the lawn tennis courts. Be sides Miss Sutton, the United States Na tional Lawn Tennis association will be of ficially represented in the international matches for the Davis trophy by a team including the American champions In both singles and doubles. Holcomb Ward and Beals C. Wright. Thus all three of Amer ica's national champions will play abroad this season. In addiUon to the cup matches which will take place In July Just outside of London, most of the American players will take part In the English championship tournament at Wimbledon Just before the international event. It will be remembered that Davis and Ward came very close to winning the English championship in doubles at Wimbledon three years ago, and Ward and Wright are believed to be stronger than are Ward and Davis. In the singles also there will be three or four of the best players America can afford. Including the present champion and his predecessor, W. A. Lamed. Among the best informed players there is a quiet con fidence that some English trophies will come back with the American team next summer. LAI In the number of automobiles used around New York City, it was noted at the open ing of the new Belmont race course that more automobiles were on the grounds than were ever gathered in one place be fore. There were almost 60 motor vehi cles, valued at almost S3.(ka.000. Something like forty different types of cars were on the grounds, the greater portion of them being of American manufacture. Experts in automobile racing are trying to figure out some plan of handicapping that will furnish better sport in motor car competition. The majority of them object to the technical way of allotlr.g starts which have proven so unsatisfactory dur ing the past two years, and the best In formed are a unit In declaring that handi capping should be done on the past per formances of the cr and nothing else. The handlcappers should allot marks to the new cars as they were entered, but Just as soon as a car won a race in a certain time It would be placed In that same clas. Just as they do with the trotting horses. One of the most ren.arkable rides ever made in automobile hlttory was completed at the Brighton Beach track last Saturday when Charles G. Wiidgeway, a well known New Tork operator, flrtfhed his Self-lm poeed task of nclrcllns the mile track LOuO ALMOST AS COMMON IN SUMMER AS IN WINTER. Last Summer I had a severe attack of Inflamma tory Rheumatism la the knees, from which I was unable to leave my room for several months. I waa treated by two doctors and also tried differ-' eat kinds of l'.niments and medicines whloa seemed to reUeve me from pain for awhile, bnt at the same time I was not any nearer getting weU. One day while reading a paper I saw an adver tisement of 8. S. 8. for Rheumatism. I deoided to give it a trial, which I did at onoe. After X had taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, and I continued to taka it regularly nntil I waa en tirely cured. I now feel better than I have for years. CHA8. . OILDERSLEEVE. 613 82nd Street, Newport News, Va. James Dwight, president of the National Lawn Tennis association has officially an nounced the selection of the team to go to England to compete for the Davis in ternational cup as follows: Holcorabe Ward, New York, national champion in singles; W. A. Lamed. Summit, N. J., ex national champion; Beals C. Wright, Boston, national doubles champion with Ward and W. J. Clothier, Philadelphia. They will leave for England on June 14. It has been decided by the International com mittee of the United States National Lawn Tennis association that Paul Dashlel, the well known foot ball authority of Annapolis and formerly of Lehigh, who Is also an enthusiast on lawn tennis, and a player of no mean ability, will go to Eng land as captain of the International team. Dashlel is a close friend of Lamed and one of the foremost advocates of clean amateur sport. With a team of the four r.l-v m m,nHnnt the rAntaln will have until twenty-four hours before the matches J "n"P rwunu. begin to decide which three he will use In each scries, and by this arrangement It will be pos'ib'e to save one of the best single players until the last by playing a fourth man. who will go abroad really In the capacity of a substitute In the singles. While the damp, cold, changing weather of Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means a winter disease exclusivel)'. Through the long months of Summer its wandering pains and twitch ing nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated. Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en tire system. Its primary cause results from the failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in contact with the different acids of the body forms uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood, making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing the body, and as this vital stream goes to every nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes fe verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased condition of the entire system is the result. Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed to remain in the blood, and the disease becomes chronic, chalky deposits form at the joints, and they are rendered immovable and stiff, and the patient left a helpless cripple for life. Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold. The best time to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather; because then the blood takes on new life and the skin is more active and can better assist in the elimination of the poisons. With the proper remedy to force the acid out of the blood,' and at the same time build up and strengten the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other organs of the body, Rheumatism can be per manently cured. External applications relieve the pain and temporarily reduce the inflam mation, and for this reason are desirable, but they cannot have any effect on the disease, The blood is poisoned and the blood must be treated before a cure can be effected. S. S. S., a remedy made from roots, herbs and barks, is the best treatment for Rheuma tism. It goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by neutralizing the acid and driving it out, and building up the sour blood so it can supply nourishment and strength to every part of the body, it cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. is the only safe cure for the disease; being purely vegetable, it will not injure the system in the least, as do those medicines which contain Potash or some other mineral ingredient. S. S. S. tones up every part of the body by its fine tonic properties. While cleansing the blood of all poisons it builds up the appetite and digestion, soothes the excited nerves, re duces all inflammation, relieves pain and completely cures Rheumatism in every form Muscular, Inflamma tory, Articular or Sciatic. If you are worried with the nagging pains of Rheumatism, do not wait for it to be come chronic, but begin the use of S. S. S. and purge the blood of every particle of the poison. Write for our book on Rheumatism, and ask our physicians for any advice you wish. We make no charge for either.

The cold and rainy weather of the past month has had a tendency to delay the automobile season, but prospects for saWs ware never so good, and Just as soon as the sun shines very day for a few days and roads dry up aome. delivery of ma chines to the small tcum will be the order of the day.

It will certainly be a most marvelous performance if the machines reach 1'ortlacd, as the weather bureau reports rain constantly along their route, and for three successive !ays and nights they traveled in a con Slant downpour. Impassable roads and washed cut brid-s make up the line of travel almost exclusively, but the plucky drivers are keeping steadily at it and the little OldsmoM.ei acting splendidly under the severe and unprecedented service put upon them.
