Omaha haa Colorado Springs beaten out j
IUI WJ m (WW -
may succeed In fbslng Denver out of the
first place. Thla la no mere stage joke,
but la baaed on dope of the triple-extract
f variety. Last Bunday the figures were puti
' llahed; then the next alx days law thera
Termed. Denver and Colorado Springs
played ten games Instead of. the eight
scheduled, and broke exactly even. Just j
ashad been calculated. Omaha and Sioux j
City played nine games, and Omaha won I
seven of them. Just a little belter than
had been figured on In the doping. The
best way It can be figured now, the race
for the rag from now till the last game Is
played two weeks hence Is going to be a
hummer. And this with all due regard for
the big lead Denver has piled up.
'' i After the pennant Is won, the magnates
will get busy. For that matter, they are
all busy Just now. Papa BUI Rourke is J
laying his wires for a team for next
season. He has seversl problems to solve.
$ Th rinmAnA Inf material In the bfsr laA.ucs
has resulted la shooting the Omaha lineup
pretty full of holes. . Brown Is going to
St. Louis, as Is well known. Then Howard
goej' to th Philadelphia Nationals, 'which
makes a big gap in the Infield, and Harry
Welch will finish tho season with the
Washington Americans after the games
are closed here. This bumps the outfield
again. To fill these three holes, Rourke Is
looking among the minors, and haa his
grabhooks at work. Beaver of the Ottumwa
team, who was to show up here on Tues
day laat, seems to have gotten himself
mislaid somewhere, for wires cannot reach
him, but his presence In our midst Is still
confidently expected. Some ether material
Is lined up and the draft money Is ready
to be paid over, so that pmaha will have
a good team next season. In the cases of
Howard and Welch, Rourke has stipulated
In the sale that If either Is not used by the
purchasing club, the player reverts to
Omaha without any further negotiations.
In this way Rourke has protected both
himself and the player, for the lads will
be thus ensured a thorough trial In fast
company, end cannot be farmed out to
any other minor team.
During tha week Jack Pfelster put his
signature to a contract for 1906 with
Omaha. This makes the pitching staff
look pretty good at this distance. Pfelster,
Banders, Companion, Quick and Lelbhardt
make as nice a quintette as a Western
league manager could ask for. If the
fielders oaa be lined up to match this,
tha Rourke family will surely make the
running for the Western next season.
Much disappointment was expressed
ocally that Sioux City should grab a
double-header from Omaha on Thursday,,
but that fact simply shows you that tha
Sioux haven't burled the hatchet with any
of tha teams yet, and may be expected to
make a showing against tha best of them.
The games were won by playing ball, and
that's all thera la to It Tha Sioux have
been and still ax dreadfully handicapped
by the lack of team work. They haven't
had the chance to develop the "Inside
game," for they hare hardly been together
long- enough to learn each other' names;
the club roster hasn't been tha same for
two consecutive weeks alt season, and .It
Is out of the question that good work can
be had under these conditions. Even . at
that, since Tom Fleming has been,, hand
ling the team ha has mad a stand against
heavy Adds, and has mad tha best teams
In the league hustle to keep ahead of him.
Bo, It Isn't to be wondered at that this
bunch grabbed a pair from tha local team.
It Is likely to grab even more from Den
ver and Colorado Springs befor tha close
of tha battle.
, vi, . , t
Jack Thomas had an off week tn both
departments, and the result of hla work
shows In the statistics of th team for
, tho season. Howard, Welch, Thiol. Carter,
Goading and Schlpke all Ynade nice addi
tions to the number of safeties they hate
poled out during . th season, and the
team average Jumped five points In con
sequence. Twenty-Tour errors wer charged
to the team during th nine games with
th Sioux, and ten of these are set down
against Thomas, who only played two er
rorless '-games during the series. This ac
cumulation Is .responsible for va slump of
one point in the team's average, the only
other to lose In their averages for th
season being Quick and Schlpke, and their
contributions to the total were insignifi
cant. The statistics:

At the cJoso of the Western league season
the Omaha team Is Intending to go on a
barnstorming tour, and Is now trying to ar
range games with amateur or professional
clubs In the west. For pitchers the troupe
will have Companion, Brown, Llebhardt
and Quick; ' for catchers, Qondlng and
Freese; forinflelders, Thdmas, Howard,
Dolan and Schlpke; for outfielders, Carter
and Thlel and some good man In Welch's
stead, as he la due to report In Washington
Just as soon as he can after the season
ends here. Any team wishing a gsm with"
the Omaha can arrange for it by putting
In an application at one to Manager
Rourke.
Times are still rather quiet In regard to
duck hunting, few parties going out. Trap
shooting, however, keeps on as merrily as
over. On September 27 and 28 there will
be a tournament at Loup City, with $300 in
prizes. Captain A. H. Hardy, reputed to
be the champion rifle shot of the world,
will be on th grounds on both days and
give dally exhibitions. On September 20
and 21 tha Campbell Gun club of CampbeH.
Neb., will hold Its shoot. Many Omaha
men are expected to attend both tb.es e
shoots.
Bowlers are busy these days getting
ready for the opening of the bowling sea
son on September 19. Beside the old timers
there are a number of beginners who give
signs of doing things when the fun starts.
All last week the alleys wer being put into
shape. By th end of this week the ten
teams forming the Omaha Bowling asso
ciation will t lined up and prior to that
little but practice work will be Indulged In.
This month will bring th golflng to a
close for th year officially: but it will be
dollars to doughnuts that fans will be out
till December shoveling away the snow
from th' putting green so that they can
bole. At th Field club th great golf
oup, th Beaton trophy, will be contested
for some time In October. The present
holders are Judge Shields, W. K. Cundlff
and W. H. Brill. Another winner will b
added to the list and th four will play
for th final holding of th trophy. Th
great match for thla month at th Field
cub will be th open championship for th
Club members. .Th gam will be match
play, without handicap. 1 Among; the likely
ones entered for this match ar Dr. Sum
ney, XL B. Morrtll, H. T. Clark. Jr., J. Q.
Adams and J. Sharp, with th odds on
Bumney and Adams. As a rule Dr. Sumney
plays a really brilliant game, but he has a
habit of being "off" at moat Inopportune
moments and when h does fall away he
falls to plecea Mr. Adams 'plays a good
steady gam and onoe or twice has dona
brilliant work. 'He holds th amateur rec
ord on th Field club links, having don
th course In three below bogey, but with
Bumney In his beat form he will have to
play llttl more than a steady gam to
win.
A new record was mad for th Inside
course by O. Thomas, who scored the nine
holes in ST, bogey being 4X On th long
green Mr. Thomas has hardly an equal In
tha city, his average drive ranging around
225 yards. With practlo on th putting

Did you ever think how carefully and perfectly ta
Oldsmobile is built to stand all the hard knocks it gets.
Things happen to it that would put it out of busi
ness if it had even one weak point.
Over biff Jolts at high speed, through mud, water
and sand; sudden stops, quick starts, careless handling,
etc., etc.
The Oldsmobile stands them all because it Is con
struct cd for Just this kind of handling.
Every part is exactly right for the work it has to do
the mechanism is the simplest; there are no delicate
adjustments to get out of 'order.
It took 20 years of gasoline engine experience to
know how to build the Oldsmobile.
It is as near perfect as any automobile can be made.

Iron out. Th August championship for th
ullver oup given by th club wm woa
by Henry Clarke,. who defeated Dewar alx
upwind four to play.
At Interesting match last Wednesday was
played between Warren Dickenson, dubbed
by some as th Iowa champion, and Harry
Morrill, In which th Omaha man wonvon
up In each round of the eighteen holes.
Later on Mr. Dickenson tied the amateur
record with J. Q. Adams, having don th
course tn S3. '
Now turfmen ar looking forward to
the day when Artful, winner of th Futur
ity at Sheepshead Bay, and Sysonby, th
favorite In the race, will meet again. That
will not be until th Great Eastern handi
cap at th latter part of the Sheepahead
Bay meeting. The question now Is whether
Artful will have any advantage in weight
over Mr. Keene's horse. In th Futurity
tha Ally had thirteen pounds to th good
over Sysonby, but after th remarkable
showing she made in the Futurity there is
every chance of her getting even weight
with the English bred horse.
"I don't think Sysonby ran hi raoe,"
said Mr. Keen afterward. x "There is prob
ably something- wrong with him. I wish
he could talk so that he could tell us."
And that Is not alone th opinion of Mr.
Keen. Others who watched th race de-
tclar that Sysonby was not running In his
usual form that day and they still believe
that he will beat Artful in the Great East
ern handicap. But the time made in that
race shows at least that Sysonby was run
ning a mighty good race, even if It was
not his best. The surprise, of course, lay
in the way he was beaten by Tradition.
It seemed that after Redfern made a spurt
for the rail and was thwarted by inide
brand, who used the whip on Artful, that
the game was up. Dyne, riding Tradition;
worked like steam when Artful got clear,
and by. some good Jockeying beat th
famous son of Meltou and Optimo by a
short head. '
Though Iilldebrand gets all th honor and
glory of this race, the man behind the
horse must not be forgotten John Rogers,
the owner.' On must feel th greatest
admiration for him for th abla manner in
which he concealed the form of Artful In
the two races which. Artful had been pre
viously entered she was allowed to be
beaten, and by such horses as Dreamer
and Prlnoe Rupert. And then th mere
fact of him putting gUldebrand on her and
giving Shaw th lesser light to ride, Tanya,
shows ho must have had an eye for th
Futurity all th Urn.
Th hors for horse pacing: race between
Charley Moore's 3-year-old Promise Ma
and Billy Nestlehouse's Jim Beaty, which,
according to th written agreement, was
scheduled to take place on th Spragxi
street driving park on September 17, was
declared off by Moor last week. Before
making th agreement , Moor was not
aware that th record made in the race
would hold 4f a bar or mark against the
colt In future events. Having; learned since
then that It would he called th race off,
rather than have a bar against th colt.
There Is no doubt that Promts Me is a
very good oolt and In present condition
would beat Jim Beaty hands down, but it
would be .the rankest folly for Moor to
race If there was any likelihood of having a
bar ikgalnst th horse. There Is consider
able doubt over the question whether tha
record mad on a track not recognised by
tn national Trotting association and with
out official Judges or official timekeepers
would be a mark or bar against a horsed
Unless there were official time keepers pres
ent thera is doubt if the record wmiM h.

1 hardly know wher to begin," said
President E. Porter Peck of the Omaha
Horse Show association, "but I will touch
upon a few features of our show, with the
hop that It will give the people at least a
vague Idea of what they may expect The
Omaha show will open each evening at 8:15
sharp and close, aa near as possible, at 10:30.
The first number on the card will naturally
be an overture by the band. Th 'Judges,
all In evening dress, will then enter tha
Judges' stand In thecenter of the ring, ac
companied by the ring committee 'end the
arena attendants, the latter In neat and
showy garb. After this an electrical signal
will be given, the touching of a button In
th stand by th presiding Judge, telegraph
ing to the quick hitching tent that class No.
1 is wanted. A quick response will follow,
th entry with th latest form .of Identifica
tion, a large card on th back- of driver or
rider, will appear in. the ring.
"We probably will open her with the
tandem class, always an attractive and
beautiful number. We will have tandems
from Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Kansas City, as well as
two entries by Hal MoCord, Omaha's leader
in smart steeds and traps. This certainly
will make a very spirited contest.
"After the class has been viewed and re
viewed, it will be lined up by attendants in
the center of the ring and Judged. There
will be three cash prizes, with their ac
companying ribbons blue to the first, red to
th second and yellow to the third.
Winners On Dress Parade. '
- "The honors bestowed, the defeated com
petitors will leave the arena, and the win
ners paraded before the spectators for com
parative inspection.
"Again music, and tha bugler summons
the next class, and thus the show runs on,
with a ten-minute intermission at the mid
dle of the display, to the end.
"Here, as is the custom everywhere, we
will wind up with the Jumpers, a thrilling
and spectacular scene Indeed. The neat
limbed, graceful animals, after a prelimi
nary round of the arena, wlU begin their
trials over four-foot and one-half bars and
hurdles, graduating up to the limit, seven
feet and six Inches. There la a special prize
here, and an attractive one, too, for the
breaking of the record, and Omaha patrons
of th show need not be surprised If they
see this feat accomplished. There will be
a great bunch of Jumpers here, some forty
odd head, and they furnish about tha most
sensational feature of the whole show. The
same horses, with a few additions, will be
here that will (loss th famous show at
Madison Square Garden in New Tork In
November. They will come down from St.
Paul, whose horse show will be held next
week. They ar owned In Toronto, Chi
cago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Racine, Mil
waukee, St. Joseph, LoulavilU, Nashville
and Atlanta. ' '
The four-in-hand classes ar also grand
features, especially th road four, with th
cock horse in front. The cock hors is used
in hill climbing and to replace an Injured
horse In case of an accident. Th trappings
ar very exaggerated and gaudy, with the
red and fussy fur hats of tha old-day Eng
lishman. There ar two attendants In th J
rear, guard and horn blower, with the
driver on - th box seat, These coaches
strlppeocost from IS, 000 to $7,000, and some
times princely sums, with horses and trap
pings. "The Unicorn class Is -unique and attrac
tive. This Is a peculiar hitch, which, owing
to the progressive innovations of horse
shows, has been extended almost without
limit
Old-Feahloned gplke Teas.
"It is the old-fashioned spike tednvtwo
horses at th wheel, on In th lead, driven
to a mail phaeton, spider or park trup
man and woman ory driver and footman.
In other cities they hav changed It to
three borresj to a road coach, one lead, two
at a wheel, with a supposedly disabled
horse led at the rear, making an effective
picture.
"For th first time in America we will In
troduce a lady's riding class, cross saddle,
and it will be followed another season la
every horse-show city In the world. Al
ready the New Tork. World has spqken of
Omaha's priority In the matter. This class
will Include many of Omaha's young mlsres
and will attract tha most unanimous 'atten
tion. We have many good riders here and
the f i tare will be particularly popular
one. In the east equestrianism 1 a part
of a gui's ourrioulum, Hr education la
not completed until she knows how to
manage a horse and can ride well. At that
th west is taking the Initiative in the
cross-saddle class. It is our aim to give
everything posetbl that Is new, novel and
attractive.
"Many and Interesting prizes will go to
the ponies. This is a big opportunity for
Omaha to further distinguish Itself, as it
boasts of an exceptionally good lot of
these diminutive specimens of the equine
race.
"Once more I wish to urge upon prob
able local exhibitors the necessity of
prompt action la making their entries. Al
meat all of the foreign entries have been
tabulated and the only delay la at the
hands of Omaha owners. They should
combine with- owners from abroad
if they desire to see our show fly the pen
nant in the west, and if they intend to as
sist in the maintenance of a permanent an
nual horse show here.
"But I failed to mention tho potato races.
They make up the amusing feature of the.
show and are immensely popular knight
erranty on a burlesque scale. A basket of
potatoes is placed at one end of the arena
and an empty basket of similar dimensions
a( the other end. The riders use polo or
cow ponies. They have woodon laths sharp
ened at one end instead of lances. The
start Is made from on a line even with the
empty basket and they race down to the
filled one.
"In the melee there ia much excitement.
The object is to spear a potato and on
tho dead run and race back deposit the
same In the empty basket. There many
real conflicts ensue, as the riders strain
brain and nerve to prevent each other from
reaching the filled baskot. The knight who
succeeds In spearing and placing in their
proper receptacle the most potatoes wins
tho contest and gets the prize."
Good Results at Kansas City.
Preniuent Peck and Frank S. Cowglll re
turned yesterday from Kansas City, where
they have been in the interests of the
Horse show that opens at the Auditorium
two weeks from tomorrow night Septem
ber 26. Both were much elated over the
results of their trip. They expressed most
unqualified praise for W. A. Rule, presi
dent of the Kansas City Horse Show asso
ciation, as well as of the National Bank of
Commerce. He manifested great Interest
In 4he errand of the Omaha committee and
personally introduced them to most of the
prominent horsemen and horse owners of
the city. The result was the seourement
of a long 11st of entries' for the Omaha
show, Mr. Rule, himself, heading the list
with a string of thirty-one head.
Wednesday next President Peck Mr. Cow
gill and Manager Gray go to St. Paul,
where the annual show will ba in progress,
on a like mission. It is already assured
that over 100 horses, including the bunch
of forty jumpers, will come down from
St. Paul the firs of next week. By that
time every detail in the way of preparation
at the Auditorium will have been completed.
The ring was finished yesterday noon.
Monday the Judges' and attendants' stands
will be erected, and by the end of the week
all the seating accommodations, as well as
the private boxes and promenades, will be
finished.
Rehearsals Bes;la Wednesday.
The rehearsal of horses will begin In the
Auditorium ring Wednesday afternoon and
thence on until the opening of the show
the arena will present an animated and
picturesque scene.
The private boxes have been nearly all
closed out and great blocks of reserved
eats engaged. The management Is partic
ularly anxious to Impress one fact upon all
local owners contemplating entries for the
show, and that is that the local competi
tor' Is vouchsafed a deolded alvantoga over
all foreign exhibitors. Inasmuch as the
local exhibitor can enter in all classes,
while the foreign exhibitor is absolutely
barred from all the local classes. The man
agement also urges the necessity on the
part of local exhibitor In closing up their
work. There has been a marked awaken
ing among them during the last week and
the list has been largely augmented. Both
the ring and entry committees desire every
entry posstblo In by Wednesday evening,
as th association's official photographer,
W. A. Plxley, will make pictures of the
same for publication In the dally press,
a custom obfsrved In every city on the

"The fact, too," said Dr. Oray, manager,
"does not seem to be very generally
known that the Omaha Horse Show asso
ciation offer th handsomest prises for
th best decorated store or shop window
that have ever been offered In America."
It Js also desired that it be understood
this prise offering has nothing whatsoever
to do with the Interior decorations at the
Auditorium. There are no prizes offered
for any- work there, as the decorating will
all be done by the association lts.lt, boxes,
reserved seats, arena and all.
