with Ienver and only getting ono of the
four. This Rlvi Omaha third plaee hy a
pretty fair margin, and it should lie Home
time befura the Hourkea are any further
down In the list. With Denver and Colorado-
Spring doing the Kilkenny cat act
for a day or two, Omahn ought to 11 x Ita

the lurk In bnse ball. All the other teams
Bet a crnrk at Sioux City while the team
Is disorganized Just na soon as It gets
Into condition to play irood hall, Omaha
comes In for Ita aeries. Any games won
from Sioux City nowaday liuve to be
played for.
Omaha will be at home tomorrow for n
Series of four games with Sioux city, pi ty
ing two on the Fourth, morning nnd after
noon. On Friday the Rourke family will
open a four game series with Denver, and
then comes 'four at Colorado .Springs.
Itourke confidently expects to make n hotter
showing on this western trip than he has
done In three seasons, and It will not be
surprising If he returns from the west to
meet l)es Moines again on the home
grounds within striking- distance of first
plaee. The team la playing grand ball
Just now mid never had a more promising
outlook. It has shown Itself the equal of
cither of the western teams and It Is be
yond reason that It should continue to lose
to them with the disheartening regularity
that hns marked its course In Colorado
since 1900. The grounds at Colorado Springs
aro a decided handicap to a visiting team.
' but even, that may be overcome. An even
break In tho west la not too much to ex
pect. Sioux Cltv will offer for Inspection to
morrow several new players. First In the
bunch will be Mr. Anderson, a catcher who
comes from the St. Louis American team.
Next comes Mr. Curley. a second baseman,
who ha.i been playing great ball In the
T.-i8tern leagu;. Mr. OronlnRer, the new
shortstop, Is from the University of West
Virginia and Is said to have passed higher
In base ball than In any of his other studies.
Mr. Maryott, the new third baseman of
tho Sioux, comes from Toronto, and Mr.
Connell, the new pitcher, Is from the
Pittsburg National team. This addition of
new blood makes quite a different team out
of the Indians, and theksnap they have
hitherto afforded Is now at an end. The
Sioux City management and President
Sexton have shown most commendable en
terprise In pulling the team out of the
hole Into which It had fallen, and will
surely be rewarded by the people In the
way of Increased patronngM. It takes cour
npre to hnndl.i a base ball team these times
and th Sioux City owners surely are
showing thnt there is no yellow In their
makeup. When the tea:n shows up on the
Vinton park tomorrow morning if will
present Just two faces In the field seen
here this season Messerly and Fremner.
In the meantime Papa Bill Rourke la
keeping busy looking for pitchers. He
has just signed one of the name of Quick,
who comes here from Boise, Idaho. Quick
was signed by the New York National
league team early In the season, but was
claimed by Suit Lake and awarded to that

There Is always something worth learn
Irg. This the crack sailors of Manawa
found out last week. They were taught,
and taught a-plenty, by tho men from Ft.
Joe. Although they won throe straight
races, they made an out and out foul In
one, nnd there was a question as to
Whether they made a foul In the first race.
Tho Lotus men entered no protests, as In
both cases It was a question as to which
boat had the right-of-way and In no way
affected the outcome of the raco. The vis
itors wore right, but they made no Vlck.
By the way, they were all good sports and
handled that Lotus as If they had been
raised on her, although they had only sailed
her two weeks before the races. Tfiey
worked together and that's what counts In
bont racing as much as In any other sport.
Skipper Bobbins of the Lotus got the best
of every start, and had his boat ready to
crors the line lust as the gun started the
fireworks. They had hard luck In breaking
their mast in the first race, thus losing the
ruco without a fair show. The Argo had
the best of all the races. She sailed all
around the "Old Kattle-Ax," aa the orew
of the Lotus lovingly eallod her. Only In
the laat raco did the Lotus show that there
was something doing, when she had the
Argo in her own -back yard. In this race
she beat the Argo on windward work and
on runs dead before the wind, the Argo
winning solely on her quarter runs. If that
Cup ever gets to SL Joe, somebody's hands
will be plenty full getting It back, even
should the defeated Lotus defend It. On
their lake, which Is a long and narrow one,
the course Is straight Into the wind and
back before It, the two tacks on which the
Lotu had the Argo Agoing. It certainly
must be kept here where we sail a triangu
lar course and where a boat gets a chance
to make up on one tack what she loses on
another.
The Manawa fleet will continue Its series
of races this week, with the third of the
special series today and the second of the
holiday sqrles tomorrow. The Argo has no
cinch on tiny of the club cups, and now the
Andover has been put In commission by
Reed and Shlverlck, which will make three
boats In class A. and make some very
pretty race. The Andover Is not a dead
one by any means and will push the Argo
and the Manawa for first place. The Man
awa has been rigged with a new set of
sails and Just how much they will Improve
her no one knows, but her crew are more
than confident that she will take one or
more of the cups. All the future races
count also In picking the boat which shall
be sent to Oshkosh the last of August for
the Inland Yachting association races.
Six owners of Oldsmobtles win make a
run In their machines today to Glenwood,
la., and return. They will leave Omaha
from the corner of Tenth and Farnam
at about 10 o'clock this morning, return
ing this evening. The run to Glenwood is
thirty miles. Five of the machines will
be runabouts and one the new Olds'
touring car. The party will be composed
of Samuel Roberta, Dr. Ratal, Dr. Petersen,-
A. A. Rudd, C. J. Corkhlll and Roy
Gale. Mr. Corkhlll will drive his touring
car, containing four persons. The run
abouts will contain a driver and companion
each. '
A. Hospe and Dr. Hunt purchased run
about autos last week.
Persons who have been so unfortunate as
to drive over the old Calhoun road from.
Florence are cautioning , their friends to
steer shy of that path and take the new
ridge road. Clark Powell met with an
annoying accident on the old road last
week which came near proving serious.
He was speeding along when he rame to a
bridge which had been temporarily erected
In the place of the old bridge, which was
swept away by flood waters. A quantity
of soft earth had been plied at the ends of
the br'.dgv, forming an Incline approach.
Mr. Powell was driving a Cadillac. The
wheels of his machine sunk In the earth,
and, striking the ridge of the span, the
auto went over t:ie embankment Into the
water. It sunk In mud to the tops of the
wheels and It was with considerable diffi
culty that the auto was extracted from
the mire. Mr. Powell was unhurt, but he
warna al autolstx to avoid the old road
as they would a puncture.
,
E. Ksmay of Clinton, la., arrived In
Omaha last Tuesday, mud bespattered and
much the worse for 600 miles of hard travel,
mostly over bad roads. Mr. Estnay drove
a Cadillac, In which he Is making a tour
of the central statea. He expects to be on
the road for another month and Is taking
tho trip purely for enjoyment. He left
here Tuesday for Denver.
Arthur Gulou made a run 1 last week to
the Omaha reservation and return, a dis
tance of 160 miles. He drove a Knox tour
ing car, containing a party of four, Wil
liam Bancker. Lieutenant Karna and Mr.
Blake of Springfield, III. The party left on
Tuesday, returning Thursday. The return
run of eighty miles was made In leas than
seven hours.
C. E. Wllklna and wife with Louis Bost
wlck as guest left Tuesday In their hand
some yellow Wlnton . touting car for a
trip to New York City. They will tour the
New England statea and back by way of
St. Louis. Mr. Wllklna, who drove a Wln
ton to Buffalo last year, la without doubt
the moat ambitious autolat In this part of
the country. His machine la knt in.
atantly In service, either In the city er
country, or making the trip to Mr. Wil
kin's farm near Lincoln.
IL M. Carlton of Colorado eprlngs
topped at the Fredrlckaon garage enroute
to his home this week. Mr. Carlton was
returning from the Wlnton factory where
he had rurrhased a 1!4 'Wlnton touring
car and was driving It overland to Col
orado Springs.
Charles II. Morrill of Lincoln did not
spend all of his time while east looking
after the welfare of the country. He fell
In with some automobile enthusiasts while
In the east and stopped off at Omaha on
his way home and left his order with Mr.
Fredrlckaon for a Wlnton. Mr. Morrill
drove his machine home to Lincoln Thursday.'
Emll Brnndels made a speedy run In his
White flyer one day last week. He left his
store at Sixteenth and Douglas streets and
drove twenty miles to faihoun In thirty
four minutes. While within the Omaha
speed limit he was compeled to run at a
moderate rate, until he reached the
Florence boulevard.
This week should lie a banner one for
Omaha golfers. I'nleas unwelcome showers
disrupt the plans of the habitues of the
links, there will be plenty of amusement
at both the Country and Field clubs. At
least preparation for na much hns been
made nnd only npnthy on the part of the
players or revrrse weather conditions can
put a damper on the p.'im-. Golf nt the
Country c'ub now-a-days la not what It
wns when the Kiitne was In it boom times
In Omaha. Not only IS the cxpertnesg of
play below the old standard, but Interest
hits waned, and there Is a denrth of so
called cracks. It Is not without regret
thnt those who do like the game and c.-tre
to go out of their way to see It prosper
nt the club have noted this retrogression
To put a stimulus in things, several of the
enthuflnsts have been working overtime
during the last week In securing several
handsome trophies, which will be hung up
for competition during the remainder of
the seanon, and which will likely prove a
playing Inducement to mnny. Another
thing thut has been accomplished is the
promise which hns been elicited from
several good players to pay more attention
to the game and to appear more frequently
upon the links.
One thing to which this decline la at
tributed Is the automobile. Old golfers, and
new, for that matter, seem more Inclined
to choo-choo about the streets and country
roads In a red devil than to chase a tiny
white sphere over a well kept lawn. Girls
prefer a wind tan to a sunburn, and while
the green lies basking In the sun the coun
try roads anfl boulevards are dotted with
Whlxxlng cars, and the caddies are becom
ing chauffeurs and Becm more tuken with
their new vocation. Members of the Field
club either have as yet not been afflicted
with the auto erase or they find more en
joyment In golf, at any rate the game Is
progreaslng lively with that faction. New
players appear daily and marked Improve
ment In the quality of the old ones has
been noted. Great Interest was attached
to the championship tourney which was
played off last week and a new profes
sional record has been established. Be
sides this, there are now 135 players on the
handicap list and great things are ex
pected In the coming games.
The golfers of the Country and Field
clubs will meet in competition on tho links
of the latter July 4. The games will be
played oft In the morning for the possossloi
of a handsome trophy, which is hung up
on the outcome. Twelve players on a
side will participate. The golf enthusiasts
of both clubs are looking forward to the
contest with keen Interest. Owing to the
rivalry of the two clubs with regard to
which haa the rightful c!alm to the most
proficient players the competition will be
attended by considerable enthusiasm. The
team will compete In match play, eighteen
holes. Play will begin at 10 a. m.
Commencing at 1 o'clock Monday after
noon the Field club players will conte.it for
a handsome cup to bs the property of
the winner. The games will be medal play
with handicap. Entries must be in before
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. In the
evening there will be a special dance at
the club,
H. B. Morrill carried off the champion
ship title and Incidentally the big sliver
cup that goes with it by defeating N. F.
RVckard In the finals of the Field club I
tournament last Wednesday afternoon. '
Morrill won by 4 up and I to play. The :
tourney started June 18 with sixteen golf
ers qualified. In the first round of the
championship J. E. Buckingham sprung a
sensation by putting Jack Sharp out of
the gamer defeating him E up and 4 to
play. Sharp Is one of the best players to
swing a club on the local UnkB and was
looked to aa a sure stayer to the finals
until Buckingham blighted that prospect
Morrill, the winner, started at the scratch
Keckard. his competitor In the finals, hav
ing a handicap of 6.
Terry Mustnln, the Omaha boy of fisti
cuff fame, haa come back frond the hills
for a spell, as they used to say. His stay
Is limited, as he must be back at Deadwood
by the latter part of July for a meeting
with a much touted Differ from Fort
Niobrara. Incidentally, Terry added some
what to his earthly goods during his so
journ in the Deadwood county, besides a
couple of victories which he appended to
I his ring record The press of Deadwood
credits him with being a principal In ono
or the best roped arena shows ever en
acted In the hills.
