The winner played far better golf than his opponent, especially during the afternoon round. Evans was 2 up at the end of the morn ing round, the eighteenth being the only hole that Phelph won. I nthe afternoon, however, the Midlothian youth started with a rush and evened the match at the end of two holes. After that Evans never was able to' regain .the lead and Phelps Jumped to the fore by winning the fifth, but Evans evened It again at the sixth. . The seventh and eighth went to Phelps, making him 2 up, which was the biggest lead he hud at any time. The ninth, tenth and eleventh were halved and Evans reduced Phelps' lead to 1 up when he won the twelfth. That was the last hole that Evans could win and the thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and six teenth were halved In par figures. The match ended on the seventh green when Phelps ran down a six-foot putt ' for a two and won the hole. Evans - misled a chance for a halfon this hole when he sent a twenty-foot putt one Inch short of the cup. , Evans' Play Ragged. Evans played raggedly at times, while Phelps played far more consistently. The only time that Kvans really domi nated the situation was on the homeward journey of the morning round. From the twelfth to the seventeenth Evans was Phelps' master. He won the twelfth, four teenth and seventeenth. On the seventeenth Evans got a two, the reversal of which cost him the match In the afternoon. That made him S up, bi-t from then on he was never able to get Phelps at a dlsanvantage. An unusual feature of the match was the halving of the first eleven holes of the morning round. Neither man was able to win a hole until Evans took the twelfth, s-4. Evana putted poorly on many greens, While Phelps was ragged In that depart ment during the first half of the morning round. While Evans putted poorly at times he had bad luck In the last two holes of the match. He had a good opportunity of winning the sixteenth and evening the match, but his putt hung on the Up of the cup, euabling Phelps to halve the hole. Agsln on the seventeenth, Evans's long putt stopped within an inch of the hole. Details of Play.

Omaha's Elk base ball team won from the Council Bluffs Elk team yesterday by a score of IS to 14. Fraternal relations for the time being were forgotten and the two aggregations fought as If they were mem bers of the Western league rather than part of a big family of brothers. Council Bluffs brought in three runs In the first Inning, but the Omaha tribe didn't mind a little thing like that; they turned around In the same Inning and captured eight. Every man sored, by the way, ex cept Lvsle Abbott, and twelve men batted. Mooney started the game In the box for the Bluffs outfit, but when he walked four men out of the first six up he was put on third and Holman took his place. Omaha brought across two more In the second and two more in the fourth. After the fourth there was nothing doing until along toward the finale.

WEEK OF ENTERTAINMENT I Something Hns Been Tlanned for Each Evening of the Week for tho Pleasar of Vlaltlng Tennis Men. Omaha assumes a position as a world fao- tor In the tennis world Monday when the first ball Is served over the oourta of tho Omaha Field club In the opening of the National Clay Court Championship tourna ment. Men prominent in tennis history of the United States and soma of International reputation will be on hand to partake In the tourney and one of the oloseat contests that , was ever seen here will be held for the cups In the championship doubles and Tingles. The gteat majority of the entries will be from the middle west section of tennis players, but players from the important cluba of both the Atlantic and Paolfia coasts will be on hand when the playing starts. State champion from all the states In the Immediate vicinity of Nebraska will play and some from as far east as New Jersey, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania will probably be here. Besides the men who play on clay courts being present, several of the tennis en thusiasts who have been notsd In the great grass court tourneys of the country are Interested and many of them will try their luck In the more unfamiliar style of the sport. Although still uncertain there ara bopea that Long of California and Beala Wrlght-of Massachusetts, both state cham pions and a couple of the best in this country, may compete. It Is possible that W. T. Hayes and Ray Branson, who met In Omaha last year In the Middle West championship contest, will meet for the second time here In the coming event, aa both are fine players and have expressed their intention of entering. At the annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis association on February 4 at th Waldorf-Astoria In New York the question ot having a national clay court event was proposed and after soma discussion it was agreed that It should ba tried once, Butler Lamb of North Dakota and J. T. Bailey of Oklahoma boosted for the Omaha Field club for the event and ob tained it.. Dr. P. B. Hawk, champion of Connecticut and on the executive commit tee of the association, was appointed aa referee .of the event and the data set for August 1. Plana Are Complete. Preparations have been going on by the committee of the Omaha Field club for some weeks so as to Insure a ucoessful tournament and it is certain nothing that could be done for the -comfort and con venience of the guests and the proper man agement of the tournament has been left out. Several automobiles have been in use to meet the players at the station and con vey them around since Saturday under the direction of Robert Howe and Jack Webster of the entertainment committee. Quite a program of events other than tennis Is lined up for the week also. The committee In charge of the tourna ment la Conrad Toung, ohatrman; 8. S. Caldwell. F. M. BUsii, Will M.
