On tb,, last turn.
Omaha's baa ball team will soon be com
ing down tb home tretcb. It la now on
la last visit eaat for tbla srsson and will
Ind up with four club before coming
home. Three games each at Peoria, Mil
waukee, 8t. Joseph anil Kansas City, and
, then six with Denver and Colorado Spring
St home; then at Dea Molnea, three at
koine, three at Colorado Springs and three
it Denver, and Oman comes home on Sep
ember 10 for a series of twelve fames,
winding up the season with Milwaukee on
eptember 2. While the pennant Isn't won
jet, Omaha's chances are moat excellent.
J twice the team has been over the trip tt
to now taking, and twice It tine returned
Victorious. It Is not unreasonable to ex
pect that this will be repeated. Denver Is
Omaha's nearest competitor In the race.
Twice the Grlialle have gone over the
. route and twice have the been licked un
mercifully. If this be repeated. It will re
tnov Denver as dangerous factor.- Kan
taa City must itlll be reckoned with, and
a Manager Nichols Is really ambitlou to
win the pennant, his team roust be consid
ered In all calculations. Milwaukee might
have been dangerous If Hugh Duffy had
kept' his temper; but he allowed the um
pires to discourage him and now doesn't
eare, apparently, who wins the rag. The
rest are out of It, unless somrthlns like
mlrafcl should Tl St. .Joseph. Omaha's
performance of the last two weeks, loaing
ten gamea out of thirteen played, doesn't
look ao very much like pennant-winning
ball, but the recuperative capacity of the
team has surprised Its critics' once or twice
already this season and none of them will
breathe freely until the season Is closed
or the pennant Is hopelessly disposed of.
Omaha has held the lead since July 4, the
longest time any team has been'' In first
place. For the matter of that only two
teams have bad the 'lead thla aeason,
Omaha and Kansas City. Twenty-ons
more games at home, and twenty games
broad after today will end the most pros
perous season ever known In Omaha's bane
ball history. Loral fans hope to see the
Rourke family finish first, but will have
cheers for the victor, no matter which team
wins.
Last week's playing shows very little
change In the work of the Omaha team.
Fielding averagea have suffered slightly and
batting aa well, but not to much as to con
stitute a noteworthy variance from the sea
son's record. Stone rang up his hundredth
. hit since Joining the Omaha team In the last
gam with Dee Moines. II la the only man
in in Duncn wun evuiui uuitua. iv
nam. Data concerning hi performance
with Peoria has never been obtainable. The

oraa th old, old story of th circuit for
next season. The circuit builder hav com
ineDced work early In th west, and hav
already constructed two and on-half com
plete,-n4 thoroughly eqalpped base ball
laric. Both of the finished leagues are
six-club affairs, and ar to be dominated by
George Tebeao. It "1 that Tebeau la to take
tU Louisville team Into th National league,
and then to ammate th Western league
ad 'American aaaoclaUon; forming two six
JuTo clrtmlts. II Is to have teams In both
Omaha' and Denver, of coUr. Lincoln,
Pueblo. Sioux City and a few other aban
doned towns ar to be thrown In as ballast,
Thla dream doesn't look good, even for the
first of th season. It Isn't ripe. If it had
been left on th vine a few week H would
bav presented a rosier aspect,' and om of
Jt wrinkled places might have filled up
plump. Let us give Tebeau credit with be
ing shrewd and far-seeing, as he has easily
proven himself. This doesn't argue that he
Is likely to load himself up with a lot of
deadweight, even to become a double-duplex
magnate. If he should get a chance to go
Into the big league. It U quite likely he will
hav. -nouKh to occupy his attention there
for th first season at leait. If he decides
to remain with the American association, he
will find Its affairs aomeient to engross bis
atteritlon. Odb thing ha has demonstrated
beyond argument, and that Is, no matter
what he doe., he Is guided by reason and
not by Instinct
On other thing In base ball la as certain
at the coming ct soother season. All exist
ing clrcui s will be recast. That the Baa
Johnson league invade New York is
admitted. It Is being 0(rnly stated that
Pttisburg will leave the National for th
American, and that an American club will

the moves will make In present circuits
cannot be told before the steps ar actually
taken, and ao It may not k positively
slated before January. In th meantime, the
makeup ef th minor league circuit In th
west may not b settled until after the
major leagues have decided on their com
position. Ample room for a vast amount
of speculation Is afforded by th situation,
and ther la reason to believe that the
dremri will be buy from now on. Th
Bee has but on wlati In th matter, and
that la that Omaha will get In with good
company. Thla season' record of attend
ance on th horn ground command th
respect of even th home knocker.
Whit on this topic of attendance. If th
magnates of th American association hav
not been using yeast on their announced
figures, the Hlckey league I sailing along
on smooth aeas financially. According to
the Associated Press reports published I
Th Bee, th attendance at th several

This is certainly paying attendance.
Estimated on a bael of S7.5 cent (which
contemplate one-half of th attendance
going Into the grand stand), It means that
the averag Income per gam ha been
K9.7. After paying 10 per cent Into th
leagu fund,' the team hav $627 to divide,
which meads I31J.S0 each. If the aalary
lit average f 150 a day or 14,500 per month
which la high the management of each
team has left 1163.50 day to pay running
expense and for profit. Hotel bills, rail
road fare, home salaries and the like, will
cut something of a hole In thla, but fair
margin of profit will be left In th end.
Examination of the table will show that
Louisville, Indianapolis, Kansas City and
Columbus are making money, whil St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Toledo ar break
ing even, at least. Milwaukee it the only
loser. Of course, the ar th figure th
management of the American association
give out, and are not likely to be too low.
At any rate they, ar worthy of careful
contemplation.

TENNIS TOURNEY PROSPECTS

MANY TLAYtRS HAVE ALREADY ENTERED
" Nave Caaavite'a Mat Are
Saffleleot ta Make gaeeea at
th Affair, bat Other
Ar Co ml a ;,
With a score of outsld entrle atrsdy
secured and with half a many more cer
tain to com from Omaha Itself, th suc
cess of the Interstate Tsnnls tournament
to b held at th Omaha Field club, com
mencing August 12, la already an assured
thing, and th manager of th affair ar
highly elated over this early earnest of a
prosperous and strong event. Thirty en
trie make a very large contest for any
piace in in country. In fact, th eastern
tournament seldom run a high. Many
auch events are pulled off with no mora
than a doseo psrllclpants. And, then. It Is
now practically certain that th entry list
win d mum larger by th end of this week.
In that event this tournament will break
all western record for entry list in uch
an affair.
Men assisting In the handling of this
vent, who hav had charge of previous
tourneys, ar astonished at this rly
welling of the entrle. It I well known
to them that the -last week before closing
time usually brings in th great hulk of
th names, and In fact It has been the ex
perience in connection with previous tennl
contests here that almost no entries ever
arrive till during the last few days. But
the coming tournament I already a big
affair, whil the entries do not close till
6 o'clock on the evening of Saturday next,
August 1. Outsider who hav already
cheduled themselves for play ar from all
point of th compass. W. G. Parker of
Arkansas City, Kan., an eastern champion
of 1831, I coming, and from Kansas City
Carter Wilder is the entry to date. He I
well known at tennis and was In th final
round in th 1901 tournament at Kansas
City.
Nebraska Players la. . .
Lincoln 1 to furnish three player surely.
Fred Shepard, beyond a doubt th best man
at the gam who ever lived in Lincoln, is
coming. Mr. Shepard ha a handicap in a
weak heart, however, . that prevent him
from showing stamina. Ha ha always
been able to defeat anyone of th "sharks'
around Lincoln for a set, but la past year
hi endurance has stopped there. It I
said, however, that he has now regained
his health entirely and can play all after
noon at the same fierce pace. With Shep
ard are coming G. A. Lor eland and Isaac
Raymond, Jr. Mr. Loveland is another of
the old guard. Raymond I a young fellow,
well known through his connection with
Earl Farnsworth a partner in doubles the
last three years. Raymond plays a very
fast gam at singles, too, being extremely
strong with hi hard drive and very active.
Earl Farnsworth will be here from Grand
laiano, and he ia iue real iiopv ut iiie Kv-
braskans for keeping th challenge cup In
th stat th next year. O. A. Abbott, an
other Grand Island player, is also coming
up. Norman A. Webster of Hastings, who
won th tournament last year, has notified
th committee that h will be on hand to
defend hi title a champion in single.
He la practicing up now and getting In
fo'.-ra, and hope to be able to defeat the
winner of th last round.
From North Piatt will come E. A. Cajey
and W, G. Mooney. They were early en
tries, and it may bit that mora from th
earn place will be teased from their hiding
places by.th action of the two.
Pair from Illlaala.
Reaching further away, F. IL Sandersoo
of Galeaburg, 111., Is found on th list.
Meanwhile H. M. Holland of tha sam city
has sntsred with him, and th men will
play in donbla together.
Topeka make a good offering w'th two
players, E. McBrlda and Charle Closky.
Both ar men of considerable renown at th
gam in their horn district
From Sioux City come th biggest party
of all to date. Ernest Baker, who won th
city tournament ther last year, will head
the contingent, and with him will com
Charles D. Hyles, C. S. Carey and a nan
named Howells.
For this last week th committee wishes
to send forth one final appeal tjo the Ne
braska towns. With th ttato so well
quipped with good tennis players, It Is
felt that th representation from Nebraska
In th entry list la not sufficiently large.
Of th entries outsld Omaha .ther ar
mor from other a tat as than from Nebraska,
and th commute wishes that ratio
changed "Com anyway," aay Chairman
Bllsh. "Don't worry about th challcng
cup. Ther ar some consolation prlxea
that beat what th champion generally get
in the west hereabout. My addrsas 1 First
National Bank building, and my full nam
1 F. M. Bllsh. Writ me and enter th
tournament.
To further lure th backward one th
commt'.te thinks it will be an Interesting
announcement that mor than 1100 mor has
finally been spent on prlxes than was first
planned. Th total figure now reach )460,
and that Is cash. That money, too, buy
only th prises. All engraving come extra
on that, and will b (50 or 175 mora.
Cap oat Exhlbltlea.
Th prlxe ar now all selected and pur
chased, and will b oa exhibition in th
corner window Of Browning. King A Co.'
tor by the latter part of thla week. There,
with card designating their Identity with
th different events snd place, they will
repose till the tournament Is finished.
Many thlnga besides cups appear on th
list. Ther is the - challenge cup for
ingles, prle S1&0 cold cash, to b won
three time for permanent possession, but
not necesaarlly in succession. Th Brut
prise single I a loving cup, prle t,0;
second is a traveling case, price 125. Tha
challenge cups ia the double ar worth
$50 each. These must be woa twice In
succession for permanent possession. The
uncertainty of teams staying together
many year is th reason for th two
year clause.
First prise la doubles Is two Cross' kit
bags, price, $25 sacb; second prtie 1 two
having ets, prle til each. For the
consolation rounds, to which on'y those
beaten ia th first are eligible, the firat
prise singles ia a traveling case, price $L&;
second prise is aa umbrella, price (7.50.
First prise in consolation double 1 two
dress suit cases, prle 110 each; second
prlxe is two scsrt pins, price 16.25 each.
For a Hat of prlxea the eomntltie thinks
that cannot b beaten. Even th consola
tion trophies are something finew Every
single prli, ao matter of what material,
will be handsomely engraved with word
appropriate to the event and the winner.
All cases and umbrellas, etc., will carry
liver platea ao engraved.
It may b added th k'. tb exceeding
generosity of the subsci-i Viola to this
tournament have enabled th men In
charg to so far exceed their expectations
as to prlies. The Field club men hsve
come to ths front In great aiyle with the
donations snd everyone seems determined
to mak tb tournament a success in evsry
way.

that they will never forget. 8. 8. Caldwell
I chairman of th entertainment commit
tee. With him ar Lynn Sherwood, H.
Doorly, George Mclntyre. These men hav
not yet named their auxiliary commute
members, but will do so shortly.
Th arrival of th outsider will mark a
tmey time. The city depot will resemble
thos of a college town at the beginning
of a school year, th Field club will be like
a fraternity house. In fact, ther will be
a regular "rush" dsy. All visitor will
b met at th trains, deprived of their
lugrsge, hustled to quarters, hustled to
lunch and bowled out to th club. They
will never be alone a minute. Every out

look after him and it will be don. Ther
I no athlete on earth that thre Oat

A collateral attraction eome Interest
ing ladle' singles and mixed doubles ar
arranged for th week of th tournament.
It happen that Just now Mr. J. H. Howell
of Seattle, feminine champion of th Pa
clfla coast for year back. Is In Omaha.
Mrs. Howell is visiting her brother. Will
Vaughn, and every day ah take him out
to th Field club and beats him to death
at tennis, while th others watch her game
with awe. Mrs. Howell certainly plays
fast tennis. Down at Lincoln ther is
Mis Louis Pound, who ha been runner
up la women' championship In west and
east for many year. She 1 a wlft player
and a terrible pounder and can beat almost
all th mm In Lincoln.
The Idea I to bring Mis Pound to
Omaha during tournament week and hav
her play a match with Mr:. Howell. Tiien
after that "Ike" Raymond and Mrs. Howell
will play C. H. Young and Mrs. Howell
mixed doubles. Thl will undoubtedly
prov a great feature and will hrinr out
larg galleries, a th two women are
easily among the very best In the land.
Ike" Raymond of Lincoln has been In
Omaha during th last Veek and has
been playing at the Field club. HI
whirlwind style ha attracted much atten
tion and other . player watoh him with
something mor than anticipation.' Bun
day he goes to Slcux City with th
Omahan who will attend that tourna
ment. It seems now that H. Doorly, Je
rome McGee, F. S. Hill and F. Dufrene will
U go. They will meet Earl Farnsworth
ther. Ha played last week at Alden, la.
H will play with "Ik" in th double.

neat ' a Well.
Forty boy taught to swim In on sum
mer. That ia certainly a praiseworthy
record for on man, and that's what Physi
cal Director Barns of the Omaha Young
Men' Christian association gymnasium
did ia UOl. This season he expects to
ecllpa ven that mark. To that ead aay
Tuesday or Thursday morning; will find Mr.
Barnes down at a certain a.ndy beach On
Cut-Off lake, surrounded by a crowd of
boy numbering from twenty to fifty.' Many
of the youngsters can wlm; ether of them
ar expert; com ar still unable to take
their feet from tha bottom without their
heads going down Instead.
But It I not for long that any boy la
allowed to remain a tyro or even a novice.
Marne i himceif a trained and powerful
swimmer, who sever seem to need mor
thai on hand or foot to tak care of htin
elf in th water, and he quickly puts tha
green ones through a. course of .sprout la
which th dog paddl movement has ao
place.
"It 1 remarkable with what ease a young
boy will larn to swim If you Just hand!
him carefully and don't scar him," said
Mr. Barnes. -".Last Tuesday two. youngsters
picked up the art their first time In and
the following Thursday each wa proudly
counting tb number of stroke h could
do. They lov It, too."
And they do. Ther' nothing Ilk It.
The boy go over to th lake In a crowd
from tb association park at Twenty-sixth
street and Am avenu on their set morn
ing. Kin o'clock finds them at th park
and first tber is half aa hour ot outdoor
track and field athletic and games. Then
at :t0 tb whole Jolly gsng leaves for
th lake, it is about a mil and a half
across. Just a good walk, and then for a
gay hour th' wall ot a certain big lc
hous near tb dg of th water ar kept
busy handling contlnuoua scboes of shr'll
voice in all th cadences of gleeful play.
The boya Ilk their bas ball and their
running and Jumping and all that, but the
aquatic gam beat thm all, and they ar
alway glad to quit th park for tb lak.
This U only natural in any good, healthy
boy. Who wouldn't rather b a good swim
mer In th tummertlm than anything els,
and who.'bclng one, wouldn't prefer Indulg
ence in that ltns of sport tha any other T
Aproyj of thl thought, there come to
mind a story told of four Omaba men,
sportsmen all, who recently went on a fish
ing trip to a northern lake. Tbes men ar
all well Into middle age and hav long since
abandoned th mor active sport for th
milder on of angling, which they declar to
be tha only real thing In that Una. But des
pite a ganaroua Ocshlnea ther is a look
about th shoulder ad arm of tb four
fishermen that tells of a ons-tlms power
ther, and on can easily lmagln them plow
ing through tb water with shoulders and
half their back high and dry a thing which
only strong swimmers can do. ,
Oa thl particular occasion th quartet
started early n th first morning tor a
pik hoi around a knob of land to th right.
They were two In a boat, and on pair,
starting in advano of th other, rowed leis
urely towards tb point. The man in th
tern sat trailing his hands idly la th
warm, inviting water and aomttthliig was
plainly on his mind. Now and then h
looked furtively back toward th landing,
from which th other boat had not yt
started-
Finally th plac wa reached and th man
at th oar watched hi companion a mo
ment Then h said:
"Well, w'r her. Why don't you bait
up?"
Th other mad no mors. "I wa Just
thinking" ha started, shamefacedly. Then,
"I'm going to hav a swim." And hi shoe
wr off In a trie.
"But we cam to fish," remonstrated bt
partner. "What will th other ay?"
"I do not car wht any one say," said
the first, ow tugging at his alrt, j d rathsr
bar, one. dip to that water than a boat
load of fish, and I'm going to hav It if It
queer the fish in thia hoi for a week."
"But you can't get back ia thl boat,"
waa th last fssbi remopstranc.

the trndere t sentiment. Another player
with the highest Attainments, ao far aa
book learning goes, tires his listeners.
They both pl.ty correctly, according to
time, tune, trills, etc., bnt one tires, the
other charms. It ts the old story of
polling- a good blacksmith to make a
poor musician, or a good farmer to make
a poor doctor, who, In the fierce compe
tition of modern timea, fight dettperately
all their lives for success and fall.
In the line of medicine I do not refer to the many quack doctors
to whom It would be flattery to say that they hare missed their
calling, because they hate no calling; except to deceive the public,
and, aa a rule, they are eminently successful In their undertaking.
There Is no place in the world where character should be so
strong and honor so true as In the life of a physician; and yet, the
experience of confiding people Is that they hare often placed con
fidence under the shell where the pea was not they have listened
to the palavering- pabegyrlc of the fake doctor until their faith In
humanity is at a discount, and In many cases they have despaired
of a cure and refused to try again. This Is not fair to themselves.
If a man ever gets well when he Is sick he must trust somebody,
surely, and because there are dishonest men, It does cot prove that
all are so. Any bnslness that Is sound to the core will not be hurt
by a thorough probing, and Its promoter will furnish every facility
for the same as a sound business proposition.

ago I could swing Into a boat over the stern
without so much aa starting a ripple, and
I can do It yet." With that he mad a
clean dlv over the back end, and cam up
slowly forty feet away. The other stripped
and followed suit without a word.
A faw minutes brought the second boat
around th point All Its occupants saw
wa an empty dory and two wet hnada

mouth to aay something. Then ha caught

and diving in black to com out whit- It la
probably better for them. They learn to
swim, and that's tha gam.
But It is not only th boy of th Toung
Mon' Christian association who swim reg
ularly. The men also know about that
sandy beach by tb icehouse and tak their
turn at It with equal xest, though neces
sarily not so often. Saturday night is
their tlm and :30 on that evening flrii
a good lxed party of them leaving th park
for th wlmmlng "hole." They all aay
It beats all th work at th park. And
no on will deny that If a finer thing to
b a good Swimmer than th best hitch
kicker living.
Two base .ball diamonds are busy at th
park thla summer and some star amateur
players have been developed. Th dia
mond ar fin, being thoroughly skinned
and under constant care, and th boys can
play Just as fast ball a they know. Th
flrt team Is running through th season
with a record very nearly unsmlrcbed with
defeat and this despit th fact that it
play thre times a week. At :80 on
Wedneeday and Friday ther la alway a
gam with aome outsld opponent and on
Saturday afternoon tha boys finish off with
a strong contest. Thl last week th boy
played th Spragu Rubber compan team
Wednesday, th Benson cine Friday, and
th Union Stock Tarda Junior on Satur
day. '
Th personnel of th Young Men' Chris
