TENNIS COMES TO THE FORE
iforal Interest la the
1 and Maay New
Art at Wo
Oint Retlrti
Players
Work.
Th,is spring tennla is pushing Itself to
ward tbo ' front . until It begins to over
shadow all other forma of ' aport In tbe
number of people who aro actively en
gaged In the playing of It. While only a
few courta are a yet ready for the playera,
ejsurta are being planned for or are in
menial process ot making on all aides. The
.Jwfft hot days of summer will And forty
courts la tbe city and fully 760 players.
While the greatest of the work la being
taken up by clubs and groups ot people, a
number ot the courts are private. Many
ot these private courta are not really good
courta, but they will tend to act as a great
stimulus' toward the advancement ot tbe
game, a they will give their owners a
'wonderful cpportunlty to practice con
tinually and much oftener than if Joey
had to- rely entirely upon club courts
for. the opportunity to play.
Local dealers, both wholesale and retail.
In sporting goods declare that tbe sale ot
tennis supplies this year Is already greater
than that of last year, which was the best
.year for tennis that Omaha had seen in
alz years. Tbey have bought for local dis
tribution 1.000 rackets and already tbe
stock la some ot the grades has run low.
Other supplies have been bought as freely.
Entire new equipment has been bought for
many of the old courta and othera have
bought equipment for courts that have had
their inception thla year.
Several reasons have been assigned to
thla sudden leap iuto favor in two short
seaaons ot the game that had practically
died out. Nationally tbe game has been
coming more and more Into prominence
again after a lengthy dormancy. It grew
the eaat and two winters ago ping pong,
parlor outgrowth ot the game, was in
vented. Ping pong captured the hearts ot
the people and reigned to the exclusion of
cards, billiards, dancing and almost all
other winter pastimes, but lta life was
short. One year In tbe east and one and
a halt in the west found It one of the pleas
ures of the past, but It had aroused Interest
In lta parent among many people who had
never been so Interested before and the
tennis courts grew In number and goodness
with the Increaae ot players. Tbe fever
spread to the weat. Last year the Field
club held the Four-State Tennla tourna
ment In Omaha and Interest was strong.
The home people took hold ot the game
and were soou fond pf It again. 'The older,
players dragged their racketa from the dark
cornera ot closets and garrets and new
players flocked to the standard.
Practically all ot the club courts that
were crowded with tennis devotees last
summer will be their haven this aummer.
They are being leveled off and smoothed
up preparatory to the starting of the game.
At the Field club the six courts are being
put In better shape than they were for the
tournament last summer. Two of the center
courts are being supplied with a brlckbrat
underfilling, which makes them free drain
ago courts. On these two tournament games
will be played. The passing summer rains
will not hinder playing for more than a
few minutes, as they will dry almost aa
quickly aa they are wetted. Tbe remaining
four will be the aame as last year, ami
they were, then, as fast aa any clay courts
In all of the western country.
Last year's tournament was a success, far
greater than had been anticipated, and this
year second tournament of the "Four
States" will be held' on these same courts.
Beginning August 17, the tournament will
last week or ten days. The playera from
abroad, who were considerable then, will
return, and their number will be aug.
mented by others who did not understand
a year ago the excellence of It.
The Field club will probably join the
Western Tennis association and. being a
member of that, othera, who play tennis
more then well, will be drawn here.
Besides, arrangements are being made by
the club to hold a series of club, city and
Intercity tournaments for small trophies.
These will be In a way a sort of prepara
tion for the larger tournament in August.

Mother' Friend is the only remedy which relieves women of the great

severest trial is not only made painless, but all the danger is avoided
by its use. Those who use this remedy are no longer despondent or
gloomy; nervousness, nausea and other distressing conditions are
overcome, the system is raado ready for the coming event, and the
serious accidents so common to the critical

At the Field club the greater number of
the better tennis players are centered, and
all that were there last year are with them
this year again, with the exception of only
one. From the crowd of youngsters, for the
players at tbe club number 200, a number
ot good men are expected to develop, and
there Is little danger of the game waning
there.
The (our courta which the Young Men's
Christian association haa placed at Nine
teenth and Farnam streets are an acces
sion to the courts of the city, for none
were there before, and last year the asso
ciation had no courta. Now they are to
have 100 men playing through the coot,
bright mornings, and tbe long summer
evenings on these courts.
The men themselves are mostly of tbe
younger set, and few ot them are ex
perienced players, but one never knows
but what aome of the begt men may be
making from this very class.
Teara ago there were five courts to the
west ot the Metropolitan club on Harney
street, and they were famous as the Metro
politan courts, but they have not been
used for aome summers. Many men fa
mous In the history of both western and
eastern tennis. In the years gone by, have
played matches on these grounds.
Now a coterie of young men about town
have gathered together and are planning
to place four courta where the Dve once
were. Little work Is- necessary to put th s
courts in condition and but for a little
darkness and dampness the courts will bo
as good as any in the. city, with tbe ex
ception of the tournament courts at the
Field club.
A few of the members are experiencsd
players and all ot them have. In the past,
played tennis to some exieut. Once or
ganized, they are going to work bard and
Intend to enter In the tournamenia as they
are played from time to time.
As yet no name has beon given this club,
but It Is probable that It will be known
aa the Metropolitan Racquet club, and will
be continued Into the winter as a social
organization.
Tbe Shrlner courta, a few blocks up from
the Metropolitan courts, have been reduced
to two this year and are being put Into
shape for play. The membership this yesr
Is about tbe same as last, but bas been
cut down to ten, which is all that the
courts are able to accommodate.
MANAGER TELLS OF ROBBERY
Edale Hablaaoa laalats that Clarence
Baalish Dlda't Get Fair
Treatsaeat.
Manager Eddie Robinson, for Clarence
English, waa In town the ether day talking
about tbe fight pulled off In Kansas City
a week ago last Thursday night. "It was a
palpaMe steal," he astd, and showed a
number of newspaper clippings to back up
his statement. '
"The whole thing," he declared, "wis ar
ranged so thai English could not get tbo
decision without his giving Yanger a clean
knockout blow. Even tbe newspaper reports
that went out from tbe Kaw were garbled
more or less. Everything was fixed and
there waa no hope for Engl ah from the
atart. The refusal ot Yanger's manager to
eves talk of another fght at once, despite
tbe purse of 15,000 we oOertd, goes to erave
that they are afraid of another bout. It
was English's fight all the way through and
the crowd knew It. Why, when tbe fight
was over the ,crowd surged down on tbe
stage the minute the decision was given to
Yanger by Bardell and only the policemen
saved them from the crowd, which was so
frantic and calling names and threats after
Bardell and Yanger.
"The old talk about condition is an old
one and everybody laughs when you begin
It, but the truth of the matter Is that Eng
lish was not in condition and had not been
for a week preceding the fight. When he
went In he waa wobbly and after the first
round was tired out, but laughing. Yanger
couldn't punish him. It was his own efforts
which were wearing him out. But he was
game and would have stayed long enough
to put Yanger to the bad It tbe fight had
been for a longer number of rounds.
"The crowd was with English from the
start and you won't find many who saw the
fight that won't declare that it was a pal
pable steal. Some of the papers came out
the next morning and declared that It was
the biggest steal ever perpetuated In tbe
annals of the ring and they were not far
from right.
"Th athletic club know that tbe thing
was not straight and have practically ac
knowledged it by giving us the pick of the
men that English Is to meet on May IS.
We picked O'Keefe, and be has been signed
for the fight. O'Keefe Is a welterweight
and Is a good man. Not as good aa we
might want, but It will be a good fight."
Whether English was beaten out ot the
decision at Kansas City Is a moot question
and there is s great deal ot Indecision as
to it. However, English proved himself
one of the comers In tbe ring In this fight.
He was fighting under adverse conditions
and forced tbe fighting st all times. He la
only 19 and young In experience, haa nerve
and is a steady fighter. With a few more
yeara added to his bead he will be one of
the best men In bis clais in the country.
When be was here with Robinson the other
day he looked as fit aa a fiddle and strong
as a bull. H bas a good reach and stands
punishment well. When he stepped Into
the ring at Kansas City he had a record of
thirty-eight knockouts and decisions to his
credit and never a draw. His backers were
confident tbat he would win and they
forced tbe Yanger odds to even money.
Even after the decision went against him
they remained confident and declared that
they were still ready to back him and did
everything In their power to show that
they not only believed In bia ability, but
believed that he waa wrongfully cheated
out of tbe decision.
It can readily be seen tbat it would be
very undesirable for Yanger to have lost
the fight, especially as he bas several big
goes on at present. Besides Clarence Eng
lish wss an unknown and it would look bad
for Yanger to be cleaned up by an unknown.

The owners ot an enormous sheep ranch
In Montana suffer so much from the con
sumption by. prairie dogs ot the tender
shoots of grass, which are an Important
part of the diet of sheep, that they have
determined to Import cats enough to ex
terminate the dogs. The first company ot
100 cats Is being recruited at St. Paul. A
facetious writer In the New York Post
shows anxiety for the future of the cats,
their work being accomplished. He says
if tbey do kill tbe prairie dogs they will
have the choice, subsequently, ot starva
tion, cannibalism or brigandage.
An engineer on a Kansas railroad has
made a request to be allowed to run faster
than sixty-five miles an hour, because a
Jackrabbtt has been making tun of him on
his run. A ackrabbit Is noted for Its
speed, and this particular jack. It seems,
has been In the habit of coming out ot his
burrow, just south of Olathe, Kan., when
he hears the flyer coming early In the
morning, looking up and winking at the
engineer, and then, throwing back bis long
ears, racing alongside tbe track. He seems
to know tbat the engineer may not run
ahead of his schedule, so he keeps up only
a fslr speed, but at tbat he often gets on
the track In front ot the locomotive, and,
putting up one foot to hia face, spreads
out his toes and makes a stgn perfectly
familiar to all small boys, which is ex
pressive ot the highest scorn and derision.
This is a true atory and vouched for by a
Kansas paper.
The commissioner of street cleaning In
New York City, Mr. Woodbury, haa been
explaining how the municipality derives
revenue from every bit of street sweepings
and refuse collected In New York and be
la proud ot the good results from tbe city's
Incinerator and "dlgestor." "Now what do
you suppose," he said, "frequently clogs

know we sell tons of them and get quite a
revenue from them? And what do you
euppcae came out of the 'digester' the
other day? Two II bills. After the refuse
U sifted," he continued, "it goes into the
digester and later on Is covered with oil.
The top Is skimmed off and what do you
think we do with that? Why, that goes to
Holland or France and comes back to this
country aa perfumery."
In 1889 H. B. Dunbar, a former hotel
keeper ot Boston and Cincinnati, obtained
a divorce from his wife despite her vig
orous opposition. An agreement waa finally
reached by which Mr. Dunbar was to pay
her (89,000 In annual payments covering a
long period of yeara. Upon the execution
ot this contract Mra. Dunbar permitted
her husband to obtain a divorce. With tbe
amount ot money she was to receive she
could provide fcr herself and children very
comfortably. But Mrs. Dunbar had re
ceived only (8.000 when Mr. Dunbar went
into bankruptcy. After his discharge from
hia debts under the bankrupt law bis former
wife brought an action in the city court ot
Boston, tbe contention of her attorneys
being that he was not discharged from this
obligation by the bankruptcy proceedings
Mrs. Dunbar lost tbe suit In the lower
courts, but Immediately appealed the case
and had tbe decialon reversed by the su
preme court ot Massachusetts. Now Mr.
Dunbar has appealed to the United States
supreme court.
The Munchener Neueste Nacbrtcbten an
nounces tbat a big pressed corn beef de
posit has been discovered In the Yellow
stone park. "Evidently," says the Neueste
Nachrlchten, "enormous droves of cattle
have, during the triocene period, been
caught by a revolution ot tbe earth and
burled by the thrown down mases, Tbe ex
tensive saline deposits In the district pre
served and seasoned the meat; the cold ot
tbe Ice period kept It for aeons, and under
the Influence of the immense pressure ot
the masses of earth and stone It has been
transformed Into a kind ot salt meat, which,
as to taste and nutrltiousnesa, la not In-,
ferlor to corned beef." The Chicago Jour
nal adda some still more wonderful details
regarding the discovery of mustard and
boiled cabbage in the same neighborhood:
"When the cataclysm occurred the beast
who were canned, so to apeak, were graz
ing on a field of mustard, and the grinding
of the glacier pulverized the mustard,
flavored It with the oil ot the animals and
impregnated their flesh with It to the
queen'a taste. As for the boiled cabbage
and boiled potatoes, they evidently grew
uncooked in great abundance In those days,
for millions of them are found within half
a mile of the corned beef mine, boiled and
kept bot by hot springH, in which this re
gion abounds."
