The porches rcra HKed with women and men, the lama rera crowded, the roof of the dub home raa laden with kids and the outfWd of the u ball park was filled with automobile ind carriages. Tlie courts were also cov ered with chairs and benches filled with overs of the great clay court game. EJrery ood play was roundly applauded and an tartremely food play brought forth toots from the auto horns. The lht was really aspirins, for It showed what an lnterert ava be aroused In an outdoor sport whan It a properly promoted. O mrlala of tha Game. Tbe umpire was Jack Stiles of Sioux City wd the linesmen were Dr. Blatherwlok of Hock Valley. Ia., Lafe fount, Jr.. of Des IColnea, Jenninss Crawford of Des Moines, tack Cannon of Kansas City, Cub Potter of -frruLha and Earl Farnaworth of Grand 'aland. Play was on court Wo. S, which was ex tremely fast, aa It had been specially prepared and. besides, It was nicely lo tated where tha greatest number could see Ibe field -of play. The court was hard and fast and the balls bounded hard when they driven by the experts. Both players a trifle nervous at the start, espe- rlally Patera, but he soon gathered himself locethar for tha fray. Peters lost the first point by driving into the net and the sec Mid point on a double fault, hut he reoov tred himself enough to win the first game, M. Paters had this trouble all the way through and scored eleven double faults Iwo for Hayes, and this In Itself was julte a handicap, llayea, an' the other aand. to tha first two sets netted an end jms number of balla, not seeming to have steam enough to get them ever with' his osual rigor. Petera U Criticised. Neither player took to tha net until the Jhat sot. when Hayes rushed up at every op portunity and smashed hard and out of reach of Peters. Many criticised Peters .or sot lobbing tha ball whan Haras rushed to tha Bat. but this seemed almost out of tha question, because of the spaed with which Hayea would drive tha ball home. While Patera won tha first set many thought ha would be abla to go on through With that game and win tha match ar.d iharApionahlp, but Hayes soon gathered almseH together and out out his erratic work, ins ability to get the bail 'was re markable, and time and again ha would sprint across tha baok line and gather in what looked like an Impossible bail. Peters was able to place them out of the reaoh of Hayea In tha first sat, but after that It was next to impossible and tha principal points Hayea lost wara from carelessness In driving lota tha net.

Tho local committee have placed their order for alleys, and have contracted for the best that can ha secured. Last season at Bt. Lou la the alley con tract was let to the lowest bidder, and the Brunswlck-Balke-Collender company, who furnished all previous tournament alleys, refused to Install what la known as the "sectional alleys." the kind that was used In Bt. Louis, and tha bowlers who par ticipated In that event were very much dlesat'sflad. There will be many outside attractions this season. -The local association has ar ranged to Install two alleys for special outside match games, and have offered a purse of I1.0PO for the winners In tbe four five-men events of last season.

KEENE'S WTOEfGS EXOEMOTTS Already n Quarter of a Million and Sure ta Go H laker. NEW TORK, Aug. 14. No one doubts now that James R. Keene will set a new high water mark for turf earnings this season. His total of winning lacks but CO 0 or '3.000 of $250,000. and the record, held by r.lmself is only J2T9.000. Tb winning of the Futurity with Colin or Peter Quince would bring the sggregate nearly up to his mark of 1331. not to speak of the doson or more other rich stakes that ap pear to be nt the mercy of wearers of the spotted Jacket. Domino was a 2-year-old when Mr. Keene made the record, and stakes were tremendously valuable, espe cially for 2-year-olda. The Futurity won by Domino was worth I45.G0O; this rear it will not be much more than half that amount. Colin has won approximately ft.000 this season. Bomlno closed his Juvenile career with nearly fin.eoO to his credit and that aggregate may always stand. Ths list of undefeated t-year-olda In America since 177 J is aa follows: Ruther ford. Olltipa, Spendthrift. Sensation. Tre raont, French Park. Ddrnlno, Tha Butter flies, E3 Rio Rey. The Csar and Hanever. Two of the lot. Domino and French Park, were as nearly defeated as It Is possible to be. Demlno running a dead heat with Dobbtna, and the whirlwind. French Park, had a similarly close call with Fides. Either Tremont or Hanover would have been defeated had they met, as they were JuvenUes In tha same year, but they were racing in the same stable, that of the Dwyers. snd, of course, never measured strides In a race. Hanover, it la thought, would hava proved tha better of the two. MeCeel Finds Its Mateh. MCOOL Neb.. Aug. .

PRIZB ' Committee Spares No Fnlns or Expense In Placing; the Courses In Shape for Tourna ment. The golf committee of tha Field clut Saturday was kept busy receiving entries . from that club alone for the Nebraska State Golf tournament, which will take place at the. Field club the last three days .. of this month. Just. 103 entries were re ceived and this Is many more than tho club has entered In any event, before. Mr. Hoel has provided over $3S0 In prises and these will ba worth contesting for, as ther '.' 1 are about the finest line of trophies ever ' hung up In the west for s similar event. The golf committee of the Field club Is sparing no pains nor expense In putting the golf course In the beat possible condition for the tournament. . A -large additional force of men is at ork .. clipping the grass and putting the greens in shspe so that by next week; the course should be one of the fastest In the country. The lack of rain for the last week or so . has tended to dry the grass considerably and this ia making the course all the faster. While few entries have been sent in to date from the state, there Is every indication that thla meet will far . surpass any pr vious state tourna- . ment in the number of entries and In the class of players. More players are -taking part in the game all over the state and many of the smaller towns have links, which are yearly' being Improved, so that the class of golf is constantly Improving. Ninety Names the Goal. Last year the Omaha Country club sent In seventy-one entries and this year an effort is being made, by the golf committee of the club to send at -least ninety names to the secretary of the state tournament. The meet last year was held at the Country . club and the week of the tournament was . one of the hottest In the history of Omaha, , the playera really suffering from the dlroct -rays of the sun, which poured down un- . mercifully. The tournament Is somewhat ' later this season and better weather Is looked for. The Field club has more-golfers this year ' than last, as has also the Country club. 10 Beside these Omaha will have the South Omaha Country club and the new Happy Hollow club to draw from and these, com bined with the entries from the state, should make the tournament a corker, Ne braska City will send a good delegation. -as will slso Lincoln, Hastings, Holdrege and other towns. Entries should be sent to Frank 1. Hoe!, secretary of the association, "care of the McCord-Brady' company. The drawings.' will be made Wednesday night, but the en-;" tries should be sent In ss soon as possible.' The winner of the tournament will be called upon to play Sprague Abbott, the state champion.
