' Contest, Uo ta Mr.. , Rnnpe of Dairr. . With four of, the fire first honors in th eeona annual tournament In the Trans Mlsslsslppl Qolf association to their credit, Omaha Country dub golfers mar well feel proud of their accomplishments on th nnni during the pant week. When the last acore card of the tourney had been turned In Saturday evening it was fonnd that only the woman's champloniihlp had been captured by an outsider. Mrs. Roope of Denver. Meanwhile R. R. Kimball won the amateur championship, J. B. Rahm the consolation event, the Omaha Country club team took the club competition, and. Fred Bartsch, the professional of the Couqtry club, completed the trophy shower by bringing In first money in the match be tween the four professionals. With thfct as Its denouement the biggest golf tournament ever held In "the Trans tlssisslppl territory Is now brought to. a close, and after a final elaborate dinner and dance at the club last night, the varl dus visiting competitors from five states and a dozen cities have separated ami thinned out one by one, till only the olrl regular Omahans and the familiar golf (bourse Itself are left. Even the corner of Uie hall at the club which was yesterday a glittering mass of silver trophic Is now looted of its treasures, but be It said with all honor to the local gutty chasers, only threa of the eight prizes left the city, and Mrs. Roope took all of them. Event a Veritable Pageant. : The last day of the great golf event was a veritable pageant. A rainstorm on Fri day, night bad left the course In perfect condition and when the sun came out bright ' and strong for the day's play an Ideat situation for championship matches was rounded out to the last particular. Ths, beautiful weather,, added to the In terest naturally attached to the finishing of the tourney, proved a magnet par ex cellence. Every previous day had seen a host of men and women at the club, but Saturday their name was legion. And the galleries were not only large, but brilliant, for the women were not afraid to wear their most dazzling hats and gowns In the face of such an incomparable day. ; The final struggles for the amateur cham pionahlp of course eclipsed other contests of tha day, and when at 6 o'clock R. R. Kimball won from bis opponent, Warren Dickinson of Des Moines, in the twentieth hole of the final round, the enthusiasm of the great crowd that had followed tho play In breathless silence for hours burst loose at last. Two holes past the regular eighteen bad these two men been com pellsl to go before the Omshan finally won,. and from the start of the deciding match till the end the strain had been constant. Both were to evenly matched In all department of the game that the vic tory was at all times a tossup, even though Kimball led his opponent much of the way. Taking the match as a whole, neither could be said to excel In driving, approaching or putting, and yet it was a poor drive of Dickinson's at the seven teenth hole that lost him a chapes to win the contest right there, while it was weak putting on his part at the twentieth that let Kimball win. . ( lose and Cantloa Coatest. ; Though the medal scores were not re markably low, both men being much over borer, yet the golf was of the closest pos sible nature, and the very fact that each man played always so safe and carefully was responsible for the actual number of strokes running up Into fairly high figures. Neither took any long chances at any shot whatever, and meanwhile both were on such a tension that they missed soroo very easy ones. Dickinson won highest plaudits from the gallery by the remarkable nerve he displayed all through. Ho was simply In domitable. From start to finish It was an uphill game for him, as he was never up but one hole and was twice down three boles. Yet his courage never failed a min ute, and on both occasions when the score was so threatening he pulled out by mar telously steady work in the face of the big odds. 1'artlcularly at the thirteenth bole and thereafter did this characteristic Of the man' show -itself. With only six holes to play, he was three down, a terrific lead to overcome. Right there he buckled down, look the thirteenth bole and then the . fourteenth, both in most remarkable playing. Kimball played bogey for each hole, five strokes apiece. Nothing daunted. Dickinson played one less than bogey for each, so he was then but one down. The fifteenth hole he halved at six strokes, and the sixteenth he won by playing it in bogey, tour strokes. Tension Draws Tighter. ', So there they were all even, and the terrific gait Dickinson had struck seemed to point to his victory. But. when he drove for the seventeenth hole he went . Into the first bunker, and that spoiled him for the hole, although he came out In one Stroke and holed In six. There was Kim ball's chance to win, he being one up at the-eighteenth,- but agala Dickinson's In trepidity, asserted Itself. Kimball knew he wanted that hole badly and played for it hard, making It in bogey four. Dirkln aon paid nq more attention than If Kimball bad taken twelve strokes, but simply scored a twelve-foot putt for three strokes to the hole, on below bogey. Thus they were again all even, and It meant extra holes. They started off around the' course again, and the gallery waa toasted clear across the course behind them. Both playing faultless golf, they halved the -nineteenth hoi?, and went on to the twentieth. Dickinson had the best drive by twenty yards, but Klmbill was well with him on second shot, and both came on the green at a stand-off In three. Dirkln son missed an easy putt for the fifth stroke and then Kimball won by holing out safely la Ave. The score by holes: Dickinson 5 47745J5 iSiilttlS fr-97 Kimball 3 5 4 4 S 6 & & 4 4 2 i 5 i & 4 i 5-W , Record of In Winner. The winner of the championship hat been playing golf tor three years at the Country club. Ill opponent was a worthy one, as Dlrkloson was runner up In the same event last year. when the firt tourney of the association was held at Kansas City. At that time John Suart of Cedar Rapid, la won first, defeating Dickinson. : Both matches in the semi-final round of the amateur championship were played oft l the morning. K. R. Kimball had an easy mi wun K. it. rinkblne ot Des Motne beating him five up and three to play. Tha contest thus ended with the fifteenth hoie. Th medal scores were: Kimball . ruikulne ..S44StS44444 4-67 Warren Dickinson and J. C. Berryhlll, Jr., both of Des Molne. were mate hod for the olh aenii-Attal atrvsgle. The rult of tais.'was a foregone conclusion, at both na are from th tame club, th Golf and Cox, try rlub. and Dickinson has always oerrjnui s superior. Yesterday Dick Inson won three up and two to play, the medal scores being Dickinson. SB4S74S14444 4-7H Berryhlll S4756t44S4S 4-7S 'lls la Final Roan The final round of the consolation event brought out the mot sensstlonal one-stroke finish of the day. With the score alt even at the end of the seventeenth bole, J. B. Rahm of Omaha won the trophy from W. L.. Woodward of Denver, at the eighteenth green by holing out a thirty-three foot putt. maKing tne nole in three, which Is one un der bogey. Woodward was there with the bogey four, all right, but the phenomenal putt beat him. Had Rahm taken two strokes ror the distance, as was expected, the match would have required extra holes for settlement. It wss exccedlnslv close all the way over the course. Neither was ever more than two up. and Rahm had to come In at a thlrty-nlne stroke clip to win, nicn is bogey for the homewsrd bound course. One of the semi-final matches In th consolations wss also very close, Rahm oeaiing B. F. Oulnand of Des Molne. onlv one up In twenty boles. The visitor. Is a youngster, but played great golf. In the other semi-final match Woodward beat J. rowers or Hastings, three un and two play, and he had to work for all of It. inirteen holes was all It took Mr George W. Roope of Denver to win first prize In the women's championship from Mrs. D. E. Ellis of the same city. Six up and five to play was the result, and the match was tho winner's from the start. Mrs. Roope has always been the suDtrlnp of Mrs. Ellis at their home club, as she has naa more experience. This fact caused the sympathies of the gallery to lie mostly wun tne loser, who did the best she could There was a strong wind blowing In the morning when this match was played, and it interfered much with the play of both especially Mrs. Ellis, who I not a strona hitter. Easy for Bartseh, Fred Bartsch, the Country club profes sional, found an easy thing In his match against the other three professionals at tending, Thomas O'Neill of the Unlversltv and Waveland Golf club at De Moines, J. W. Watson of the Des Moines Qolf and Country club, and W. C. Sherwood of the Omaha Field club. Sherwood took second money, so it was a double victory for tha Omaha stars. The match was medal play over thirty- six holes, eighteen being played In the morning and eighteen in the afternoon. The result of the morning play showed Bartsch In tho lead with a score of 74, five below bogey, and 8herwood and O'Neill a tie with 79 each, Just bogey. Watson was a hopeless 83, and dropped out there, act ing as caddy for Dickinson In the play for the championship during the afternoon. O'Neill stayed in the afternoon play. however, as be had an even chance with 8herwood for second money. The race between them was very pretty, Sherwood making the course In 81,' O'Neill In 82 strokes. Sherwood thus won second place and money with a total of 160, O'Neill hav ing 161. Bartsch made his second round In bogey, 79, and thus took first with a total of 153. Pretty Rare of Team. The team championship proved a pretty race beteween the representatives of the Omaha Country club and those of the Des Moines Golf and Country club, but the former won, 9 down to bogey. This was a thirty-six hole match against bogey, medal play. Aggregate scores of teams counted. Eighteen holes were played In the morning, and at their conclusion the Des Moines Golf and Country club team was leading, being 35 down to bogey, while the Omaha Country club men were right after them with a score of 86 down. The other teams were straggling hopelessly be hind. Tha afternoon play twitched the two leaders, and then some.

Xeh.. Bent "7 iBneM.! V. hraska university overwhelmed Doane col lege on tne gridiron today, piling up 61 points and shutting their opponents out without a. semblance of a acore. The su perior weight, speed and experience of the CornhuskerS gave them an insurmountable advantage and Doane was helpless at all stages of the contest. Short halves of twenty minutes were Played, Nebraska scoring two touchdowns In the first and then running over their opponents in the final half, amassing In the aggregate nine touchdowns. Benedict kicked enough of the goals to boost the Cornhuskers' total over the half hundred mark, a score that only one Nebraska eleven has equalled in recent years. Doane was weakened early In the game by the loss of Fuhrer, left tackle and cap tain. A blow on the neck stunned him and compelled his retirement. F.xceptlng one man, the center, Doane was out weighed ten or more pounds to the man. and their heavier opponents plunged through the line or skirted the ends for gains that wer fairly monotonous. Onlv once, when on the offensive, waa Doane aoio 10 gain, ana mat tor only a single yard. Nebraska's defense held firm and time after time the Cornhuskers' forwards broke through and downed the Doane run ner for a loss. Borg, Booth's new center, was particularly aaaresslve. while West. over at right tackle was a barrier against which Doane could not gain even an inch. Lienaer s worn at right hair in carrying the ball shone out with areat luster. Through the line, hurdling or a dash around the end. all nlavs looked alike to the fleet little back. Bhedd at end, too. per formed In spendid fashion, being used fre quently In lugging the oval and breaking away with several electrifying runs. One of these was for seventy yards, the longest dash of the game. Benedict at quarter tried ma nana at carrying the ball and on a double naaa filtered through a hole made by the Cornhusker forwards and raced fifty yards for a touchdown. Two of the Nebraska touchdowns were chalked up by Mlckel, whose line bucking waa a material factor In the victory. Booth sent In several of his substitutes In the second half, and ot these Englehart, an Omaha boy, and Blmodynea, who halls from Wahoo, both freshmen, gave evidence of making good. Knglehart bucked the Doane line fiercely and it crumbled every time he essayed to advance the ball. Blmodynes iiKewise snowed rorm and is credited wun one of the touchdowns. Eager also broke away for several long rune, once tor fifty yards. Nebraska's Interference worked to per fection, Doane being too light to break up tho plays. Not onco wcro tho Cornhuskers held for downs. Fifteen hundred enthusiasts witnessed the play, Nebraska's performance being so satisfactory that Booth now is encouraged to believe that sincere work by the men In perfecting team play, In spite of the loss of so many veterans, should result In a suc cessful season.

CREIGHTON BEATS ALL-OMAHA Vnlverslty Team Surpaaases Old Star on the Gridiron by Snperlor Training. Crelghton university foot ball team played a nicked team of the old nlavers of Omaha on the Creighton's field yesterday Hiieriiuon. me score resulting to 2 in favor of Crelghton. The old stars were a little soft, but time out gave them a chance to collect their scattered breaths. The Crelghton team waa also a utile slow In Its work, but Its train ing held It together, so the final score shows up to its advantage. The Crelgh ton boys showed that they can play foot ball, but they still need practice. But the team they met is about as stronar an ag gregation aa can be found outside of a big university. Thomas and furay played In their old form for the Omaha team and Dan But ler's onslaughts were fierce, as usual. The McBhane brothers played from start to finish, and Prlchard, though softer than the rest, waa aame and faat. For Crelarhton Harry Welch and Callahan were the bright est stars, but Mustaln and McGovern did some stood work. Crelahton's line 1 the strongest It ha ever had, and the old stars were forced to make their gains around the ends. The game waa a fair exhibition, of foot ball, but not what Is expected to coma from such an aggregation ot players. Tne unup: CREIGHTON. I AIX OMAHA. '..

Both teams played better on defense than offense. Both were repeatedly forced to- punt- and while Damon for Des Moines did better than Bterrlcher the punta were of little use. Near the end of the game Omaha was twlc forced to punt and both times the ball was regained on fumbles. Halfback Burnett finally broke away for a twenty-live-yard run and a touchdown, but the score waa challenged on the ground that time had been called, and the timer decided that the touchdown was too late.

BIG FOUR SETTLES DOWN TO BUSINESS Work ot Llektss Material at Hans lata Shape for tha Important Contest . Ha Now Been , Taken I'p la Karnest. , Though October really marks the com mencement of the legitimate foot ball sea son, Saturday, ..September 27, may be said to- havs started the sport oft for the full distance this year. . Yesterday was the day of the first game the country over. Some )t tha western colleges that had been in train ing so many weeks in advance had already lined )p against minor opponents on the preceding Saturday and even a week before that, but for th big schools in the east last Saturday waa the getaway and from now on there will be games every week for all colleges. These first games can only be regarded as Interesting as showing test lineups. They cannot be said to Indicate much aa regarding the strength of the -team for the season, 'nor can the personnel be consid ered aa any promts of what 'it may be later. In several case tha good men, those almost sure ot their jobs, have not yet returned, as they are not anxious to go through all the old routine of seasoning and breaking In. Again, at many schools It is the practice not to compel the old atars to work ao early, anyway. They may help a little In coaching a man to substi tute for them in case of accident, but they do pot get out In the scrimmage nor la the first minor games. . With the Big Four colleges- things have been very alow In taking shape, because of the complete riddling In most cases ot the 1901 teams by graduations and other causes., Ot course, when the old team cornea back very near entire It la not bard to fill In the few niches and have an eleven, but with About seven places to All the work Is necessarily slower. This proposition Tale, Harvard, Princeton and Pennsylvania have been against pretty hard, especially the first three schools. Now they are beginning to see their way clear and are resolving first and second and third eleven from the maaa of material on hand. With sixty men to pick from, Princeton coaches have found, temporarily at least, the center, two guards and one tackle they needed. Just now the Tigers' loudest Jubilation Is over the fact that the big Andover guard, ' Ogden Dutcher, haa come to Princeton. It was expected that be would be with Yale, aa he waa in New Haven for a couple of weeks, but the tradi tional spirit ot progression from Andover to Princeton held good and Dutcher will play left guard. Dewltt, the former tackle, will be moved In one place to Dana's unex pectedly vacated place at right guard, and that means another tackle. Yale now forecasts a Una of giants and out of ths large list of enormous candidates for the forward positions expects to de velop a good row of seven. The back field la really tho troublesome feature with the Blues, . as the defection of Quarterback De Saulles Is still aorely felt. However, an extra week haa brightened the. outlook. Harvard alon falls to talk any more hopefully aa the time passes. Captain Kernan and th coaches assert that they ar well satisfied with the ahowing, but the rooters and wis. guys along the side lines are anything but sanguine. The Har vard troubje is Just, the opposite ot Yale's. At Cambridge they have a great back field left over, but want line men badly. Meanwhile, Coach Williams has finally brought hig Quaker squad back from Eagleamero to Philadelphia and hla long siege of "Illegal" early training has ac complished wonders. From a dub team lu fast company last season the Quakers have already become a factor much considered. Beveif days have not' altered th general situation in ' the middle west. Wisconsin and Michigan ar atlll touted as the big things In th Big Nine. Already It Is being said that th gams between thes two on November 1, to b played In Chicago, will determine the championship oi that alliance of college.. The Badgers ar aura of all tha mo they have been counting on, and ths Use will not be a great difficulty, as ther ar but twAplacea Th chief troubl Ise",' cks, where two Jt-ee- att. last M: and Is tti and Is big V! THK SI'KCi A1.IST. Positively Cured in there Is progressing a great aearcb. The prospect at present is that Captain Juneau, for years right end, will be pulled back to play It. He la light, but his ability In carrying the ball should make him a premier at runutng it aa a back, and his place at half will make it possible for him to help out at his old place on end with hla re markable defensive play. The end who will take his place may play half on the defensive. It will bo atranse for Juneau to be moved to a back position after a college career In the line, but the reason for It is that it seems easier tz present to find a good end than a good back. The Wolverines say they will have more beef than ever, and that Is a big boast, for the Michigan team has been a monster one recently. There are some line gap and two back places to fill up at Ann Arbor, but Coach Yost now says that he has al ready accomplished the task and is ready for the season to get busy. Sizing up the remaining conference col leges, It may be said that Northwestern is the only one that has shown any marked strides in improvement. Illinois has ad vanced a little beyond expectations, but Chicago, Purdue, Notre Dame, Beloit and Mlnneaota have done about what was pre dicted for them a week ago, although it is interesting to note that Coach Willlama of Minnesota Is now telling bow his eleven is not a bunch of new ones, after all, as he has alt the time had a big company of last year's men on hand at camp, but has been keeping It quiet. Nebraskana will be glad to hear, too, that Koehler, the Corn husker center for three years past. Is making mighty good at the Midway college and wilt probably be Stagg's first center. Down at the University of Nebraska Coach Booth is at last beginning to feel just a little discouraged. Prospects for returns of every old man on the team save two had caused him to build high hopes, but aa this two haa grown gradually to four and five and six things do not look so well. Even at that th Cornhuskers would attll be in fairly good shape would Orley Thorpe get out and play quarterback, aa expected. He Is not yet out, and that important position is giving Booth much trouble. He haa a fairly gocd man holding It down in Benedict. nut tne ooy is a freshman and very young, with no 'varsity experience, with a .... soned team ho might do, but there are so many other youngsters and new ones la the makeup that an old head In the middle Is an essential. Crafty Thorpe, with four years' experience behind him, could take hold of that half-green team and do won ders which a coach can never do. hern h is not in the game. Westover still does not despair or getting Thorpe out, and mean while he Is devoting enere-iea to matin every other place on the team as strong as possiDis. a feature of the last week was the advent or Lou Palmer, th Princeton end and member of the All-American team. He baa started In to work up th end ma terial, which Is rather plenty, but light. Captain Westover baa determined to play vary littl sava in the big games, as he still has soma trouble with that little blood clot which formed under his skull u r. suit of seven big Oopbers landing on him iaet year. Hubbard, who waa thouaht in have en.. cinched, has found a keen rival In Borg, wno has been besting the first squad man in practice lately From bis position on th scrub eleven Borg ba been coming through Hubbard pretty often and stopping playa, and they are contemplating moving him up to the first eleven. Dean Ringer, the veteran, will play left guard aur. and Maloney, last year'a sub stitute, is the strong man so far for right. H weigh' 220 pounds and Is a power en dofens. Westover has g tackl place, but when he Is not in th game another will be needed, and so far Briggs, Wilson and New ton ar three most promising for th tackle positions. Out ot the trio Westover hopes to get on crack man. "Chick" fc'bedd started in Just wher h left off laat aeason and has been Improving every day, so that b is already playliig a very fast left nd. The other end is atlll a toasup, as It Is finally definitely learned that Cortelyou, last ysar'a star, cannot re turn. He la la California with an Invalid mother. Follmer and Eager, two light but actlv boys, ar candidates, but ths appear ance of Mike Thomas ot Omaha with his 15 pounds and speed and kicking ability would be a welcome sight for the coaches, aa he would take that right end beyond a doubt, provided b was up to bis usual gam. Old Micket will doubtless be the stand ing fullback, and promises better every day. For halves ther ar Bell and Bender, the old men, and Englehardt of Omaha Is also being trained for that Job.

A man may be called successful for a dsy and be forgotten on the morrow, and that sort of success It the fleeting kind which leave behind no tangible record or result. But a life work which haa left its impress upon a generation of men sn effort directed al ways toward the relief of sufTerlng-a successful practice extending throughout many states, and a reputation which attracts patients from for and near-such success must have for Its basis the element of (rue merit, and may be calculated nnd meas ured by the standard of dcflnlle results.

MORE THAN FOUR FEET IS NOW USED Arid Land Discovered In Montana on Which Crop Are liaised Wlth nt the Aid of Artificial Moisture. WASHINGTON. Sept. 2?. The third an nual report of tho irrigation Investigations of the office of experiment stations, United States Department of Agriculture, mado under the direction of E.'wood Mead, aays that averages of measurements, embracing nearly all of the arid states, show that dur ing the .last three years enough water was turned into the beads of ditches during the irrigation season . to cover the land irri gated to a depth of 4.45 feet, or stated in another way, 4.45 feet of water was taken from streams for every acre of land irri gated. A large part of this water supply was lost in transit through seepage, (be leak age being especially great where canals run through sandy or gravelly soil. Measure ments at the heads of laterals showed nn average loss In the main canal of 11 per cent. Measurements made at the margin of fields on six largo canal systems nhowed that only 42 per cent of the water turned In at the head gates was delivered to farmera. This large loss through secpnsn Is one of the significant features of these measurements and shows thut bettor on struction of distributing works is one of the directions in which great, improvement is possible. Another interesting table in the report shows tho value of tho crops grown for each acre foot of water used. They vary from $132 a foot to $122 an acre foot, water bringing In the least return when used on alfalfa and the largeut return when used In Irrigating nursery stock. It also was shown that crops which require Irriga tion In the laat half of the irrigation sea son have a far greater value than those which require irrigation during the first half, the average value per acre of crops which have to be irrigated in the last half of the season being $49.36 an acre, while I crops which require irrlgatiou only In the first half of the seasou have so average value of only $17.83 an acre, a difference of $31.56 an acre In favor of late crops. Those, however, have to be watered whou streams are low and water scarce. As a rule this water supply can bo bad only through storage, and the cost of reservoirs haa to be charged against the extra value of the crops. Experience shows, however, the report says, that the storage of water pays farmers and will Increase largely the pro ductive value of irrigated lands. Arid land croo conditions in central Mon tana, heretofore unknown to the Depart ment of Agriculture, were discovered In a tour of Inspection which Elwood Mead, in charge of the irrigation work of the depart ment, has Just completed.

In. a majority of places, he says, crops can grow on these tracts without sny Irrigation and with very little water, much less than is usually re quired for growing crops. These crops can be grown very successfully every year. The area involved Is along tha mountain elopes south and east of Great Falls. Mont, The Department ot Agriculture regards the discovery of these arid land conditions at Important and co-operative work will bt undertaken by the government. It is pur posed to study the means of saving an4 making available the water supply froa the mountain slopes. Government work will be under the direc tion of Prof. S. Fortler, the director of tha Montana agricultural experiment station. Similar non-irrigated arid land crops ar grown In the Milk river valley. In Mon tana, and in many parts of the Dakotas.
