Anriit 30, ltOff. THE OMAHA ILLUSTRATED BED. X4 SPORTING COSSIP OF WEEK. WwUrn leajne Em Enten Home 8tretch in Good bhape. ONE OF THREE TEAMS MAY WIN PENNANT Melnes, Drifrr and Omaha Each Has a tbaaee to Laad the Coretea rrlse far Carre at Year. Yesterday th Western league tea me turned Into the home stretch of the ij6 race, with Dee Moines comfortably la the lead, and Denver, Omaha and Blou City stringing along not far behind. Thla la the way aome of the wine ones think the finish will be, but Des Moines hasn't any cinch on the flag yet, and the loss of a very few games will make quit a difference In the Cantlllon prospects. One thing Is certain beyond dispute, and that Is Cantlllon will not give up the Hag without a fight. His trick In pulling off an extra game with fit. Joseph may be called a mistake and the game thrown out. but It Indicates the eagerness of the manager of the Under writer to take full advantage of a good thing when he has one In sight. Omaha has had hard luck all season, and the worst of It comes right at the close, when the fight Is getting warmest. Sanders and Quick are both out of the game, and may be unable to play during the rest of the eason. Hall has proved a good man but that leavea the team with only three pitch ers and a gruelling lot of double headers coming up. Rourke Is looking for an other man, and may be fortunate enough to secure one. The team la playing better ball and has a fine chance to get Into sec ond place on Its present trip west, the shortage of pitchers being the only handi cap. The Improvement In the hitting has been the most notable feature of the last week's work. Vp to the end of the third quarter of the race, Omaha has been the only team to hold Des Moines anything like even In the race. The Champions have done their best work against the strong teams, and have lost games to the weak ones In a most Inexplicable and discouraging way. With all that the record shows that ths game has been a very even one so far as the Champions are concerned.1 They have indulged In no spurts and have suffered no very remarkable slump. Once they were down below the .500 mark for a little while, but they boosted It back, and are now sailing along with the highest percentage of victories they have had this season. Sioux City has shown' the steady decline, the great spurt made by the Packers on their first round being the only thing that saved their standing from being a dis grace. The record of the first round, end ing May 31, Is: Played. Won. Lost. Pet. Bloux City 17 19 8 .7(4 Pes Moines 19 1 13 .&'2 Denver U 14 .618 Omaha 29 15 14 .617 St. Joseph 27 11 16 . 407 I'Uiiblo t8 8 20 . 2fc The gait struck for the first series was not to be maintained by Sioux City, whloh was going too fast, and the results show that the Packers have been unable to win 60 per cent of their games since then. Des Moines made a runaway of the race for the next few weeks, ths record from May 31 to July t showing: Played. Won. Des Moines Denver Omaha Bloux City . Pueblo 8ti Joseph .. The change to Lost. Pet. 81 28 . 14 23 11 .679 31 17 14 .549 84 -16 18 .471 84 11 23 .124 14 7 27 .208' Pueblo did the Colorado Springs team some good, for the Improve ment since then In Its record has been considerable. Sioux City has fallen away a little farther, and Des Moines has halted In the fearful pace at which It was golnp. Omaha makes, the best showing for the sea son In this round, passing Denver, and standing next to the leaders. The figures from July. 7 to August 15, inclusive, are: Des Moines Omaha Denver Pueblo Bloux City . St. Joseph .. Played. Won. 47 42 41 17 41 41 80 24 23 18 18 12 are willing to allow. Then, when It comes to getting a player from' the big league back Into the minor, well, the experience of St. 'Joe with Philadelphia will do for a sample. PHI Douglas was a good old time Philadelphia player, but when the Quakers were reorganise Pill quit the game and retired to his Missouri estate. He was not formally released, but Philadelphia had no need of his services, and so for some years he was not disturbed In his retirement. Last spring Percy Chamberlain dug him up to manage the St. Joe team. Bill went to work, and for several weeks headed the Saints on their race for the cellar cham pionship. He was then transferred to Kansas City, with the object of making It certain that the No. 1 Tebeau team finished absolutely last in the American race. Then along comes Philadelphia and files a claim against the 8t. Joe club for tut) for the services of 11111 Douglas. Just think of It. The big leagues will allow a minor league club 1750 for a crack young player and charge 1E00 for the services of a player who has been chased out of base ball so long ago that most people have forgotten him. That's protection that protects, all right. The college teams will soon be making arrangements for the fall preliminary prac tice, which is still continued although so much was said against it at one time. Ar guments were that It looked too much like professionalism to take a foot ball equal to some summer resort and put the boys through their preliminary sprouts. The ad vantages to be gained by the players and the team as a whole were so great that they outweighed any arguments against the practice, so it Is still In vogue. Foot ball Is a very rough game, and one should not play it unless he has been especially con ditioned to withstand the hard knocks In cident to the game. Foot ball la not a game to be played by clerks who have been can fined to their desks all week and then wish to go out for a little Saturday afternoon recreation. It is entirely too rough for such and It Is those kind of players who are continually getting hurt and putting the game Into bad repute by reason of their Injuries. Foot ball Is essentially the game of all games for which a man must prepare himself by a hard course of training before ha can expect to play with advantage to his college and safety to himself. When a player has conditioned himself, he can then play with slight chances of injury. The records show that seldom is a man seri ously injured in the games between ths larger colleges, which have competent coaches and In which no one Is permitted to play who Is not physically fit. So it Is that the preliminary practice Is eminently proper for the conditioning of these men who must go through the two months' of hard knocks. Monday will see the opening of the Middle West tennis tournament at the Omaha Field club courts for the middle west cham pionships. These tournaments have coma to be fixtures at the Field club and this, the fifth annual meet, promises to surpass all previous efforts In the number of con testants and In the site and value of the prizes offered. Entries have come from all the leading towns In the west and the tournament will. Indeed, be representative of the middle west. Arthur Snow, winner of the western championship in 193 and also winner of the northwestern in 1901 and the holder of many of the Chicago championships, has entered. His prrtner in the doubles will be Charles C. Peters, who has also a string of championship medals to dangle from his chest when he chooses to wear them. E. M. Ashcroft Is another Chicago expert who Is coming. Vernon and Sheldon will Journey from Kansas City, where they recently won the Missouri state championship. Ike and Donald Raymond of Lincoln will be on hand and W. P. Hayes, recent winner of the Iowa state tourney, and J. C. Monnet. his partner, will be on hand to contest with those from the other states. Colorado and the west will also be represented. C. E. Fennlsy, Dr. Graham and his brother, J. W. Gra ham, all from Denver, will come, and C. P. Dodge of Colorado Springs, one time a winner on the eastern courts, will be pres ent. Samuel B. Neel of Encampment, who at one time, with his brother, held the double championship of the west, is talking of entering. From Sioux City will come Ernest Baker and W. 8. Oilman; a strong team, who will bring with them many of grounds for every home game, and It was this that forced the Omaha High school team to disbsnd before the season was over. A team can only make money on Its home games, and the best that can be had on games played In other cities is ex penses so that with all chance of playing home games shut off the high school team was forced to disband and go out of business. An effort will be made to make some amicable arrangement this year so that all of the teams can bavs a fair chance to make good. The mdre gooa teams there are in the city the more inter est In the game and the better It Is for all concerned. Games were played In the Auditorium last season and these were quite successful, both from a playing and a financial standpoint. Much disappointment la expressed in automobile circles over the news that France Is not likely to be represented in the Vanderbllt cup race by Thery, who won the Bennett cup in a Richard Brasler car. In view of the fact that no English ma chines are to start In the Long Island event It was hoped that the French repre sentation would include the Bennett cup winner, thus providing opposition of the strongest kind for what promises to be the best team of American built machines ever entered in an Internatlon race. Lacking Thery In the same car with which be won the recent contest It cannot be said that the Vanderbllt cup winner will have proved superiority over all other makes of ma chines. Thery visited this country a .year ago shortly after the Vanderbllt cup con test. He witnessed a few track meets, and on his return to Paris declared unqualifiedly against the American style of racing on mile tracks, and declared the Long Island course used last year to be too short. This was taken as an intimation that unless the route selected for this season's race was longer he would probably decide not to com pete. Since the course selected Is practi cally the same. It may be taken for granted that Thery does not believe that twenty or thirty cars can race safely at extreme speed over a thirty-mile course, or that the winning of the cup will denote more than a fair measure of speed and racing luck. As a matter of fact, the Long Island course Is so widely different from the All vergne circuit that the first car to finish will have demonstrated altogether different qualities. The French course called for stability and mobility rather than speed: the Long Island roads, lacking practically any hills to climb and with only two or three bad turns, will develop simply a test of speed. vehicle of the commercial type Is in the Mg cities is made evident by the Increasing number of these machines coming Into dally use. Almost every large business concern that transports goods has either adopted the automobile or Is making experiment. Marston's, one of the largest lunch rooms In Boston, has Just received two electrlo delivery wagons, which they use for de livering breadstuffs and pastry. Being free from dirt and the odor of oil they type makes an Ideal wagon for that service. Some Interesting ngures are supplied by a Washington physician, relative to the com parative cost of an automobile and a horse. He kept the machine In a shed In the rear of bis house, and cared for It himself, as It was one of the small types of cars. He fig ured that he traveled 14.932 miles In thirty one months, as against 9.000 miles that would have been possible with a horse. Al though the first cost of the machine was twice that of an ordinary horse, the cost of keeping it was about 26 per cent less. De preciation In the automobile was almost twice that of the horse. Nevertheless, he figured that his riding In the automobile was at the rate of about one-third of 1 cent per mile, which Is about SO per cent cheaper than the horse. by divisions been getting This record of the season hows that each team has about what It deserved, and the standing for the season Is based on performance. Dos Moines has been the most consistent winner and has fully deserved the long lead It has held for so many weeks. Denver's claim to second place will not be disputed and Omaha will have to drop a lot to lose out on third. Omaha has a chance to pass Denver during the present series and then set sail, for the top. If Denver can hold Omaha back, then the Qrixxlles will have a chance to race Des Moines for the head of the list. Anyway you look at It the inter est hasn't died out of the contest and will not until the finish, for It Is not at all likely that Des Moines will cinch the pen nant before the end of the schedule If the team wins It at all. When Omaha opened at-' Pueblo on Thursday afternoon the schedule gave the Champions thirty-nine games to play to conclude the season. In addition to this were nine postponed games. These were distributed as follows: With Dos Melnes, six scheduled and one post poned; with Denver, eight scheduled; with Sioux City, nine scheduled and one post poned; with Pueblo, eight scheduled and four postponed; with St. Joseph, eight scheduled and three postponed. This looks pretty good for Omaha, especially as twenty-three of the forty-eight games the Champions are called on to play to com plete the schedule are with the two weak teams of the league. If Omaha can do as well with Des Moines and Denver as It has done so far, and then take advantage of the opportunity afforded by the soft spots left to the list, the Rourke family will be right up close to the front when the cur tain goes down next month. Now that Mr. Byron Bancroft Johnson has completed his conquest of the minor leagues, what doe he propose to do with the remains T Will he appoint a time and place for the little fellow to live and move, and arrange It that they go dead at all other times? It may be that the great I-am of the American league conceives the notion that by demanding that Howard Griffith be fired from "organised" ball he ha put a damper on all future rebellion and that hereafter the two big league will be permitted to do Just what they Ilk with the little fellows. It looks very much a If this were the cae. and that a return ha been mad to the conditions that prevailed before the minor were formed Into their association. This means that all the minors can do I to develop player for the big league to grab and take what the giant Lost.

Blatherwlck, the runner-up at the World' fair tournament at St. Louis last year, will be on hand and bring many of his compatriots from South Dakota. The entry list is large and the play 1 sure to be fast. A new contract ha been submitted by the managers of the Minnesota foot ball team to Nebraska to 'supplant the con tract now in effect. Minnesota serves no tice that It rejects the clause "present rules" injected by Secretary Clapp of the Nebraska board. The phrase in question would permit Nebraska to us freshmen players In the 1906 game, whereas, Minne sota being a member of the "Big Nine" Is not permitted to play freshmen under the new rules. In spite of the tact that Ne braska was barred from participation In the conference which adopted the rules, the Individual members seem to think that Nebraska should comply with the intent of the rule of the "Big Nine." The substitute contract submitted by Dr, Williams, coach of the Minnesota team, was not accompanied by any ultimatum say lng that the game was off if Nebraska did not submit to the rule of the "Big Nine Although Dr. William was said to have mads that statement, he sent no such word to Lincoln ana either be changed, his mind or bis advisory board sidetracked the ulti matum. Although the fact that freshmen were not to be permitted to play has worked to some extent against Nebraska In the matter of securing new player, there la no reason for this, for the earn rule ap plies to all of the larger college. Fresh men rarely make a 'varsity team in their first year at the university any way, and tbey will still be permitted to enjoy all of the advantage of a thorough coach and the higher cla of training that the uni versity offers.

Judging from the various announcement that have been made by American manufacturer. Un doubtedly the car for general use Is the landaulet, which can be used as an open touring car in summer and which in winter offers every protection against the weather. One of the handsomest of this type is one of thirty horsepower made In Toledo that made Its first appearance in New York a few days ago. ' It Is known as the mlle-a-minute typo of car and its long wheel bsse gives plenty of comfort even when travel ing at a high rate of speed. The running gear is yellow and the body is finished in blus and green. People hare been puztsled over the plan adopted by some automobile manufacturer of giving two different standards in stating the horsepower of a car. This hyphenated method, as thlrty-thlrty-flve horsepower, simply means that the first figure Is the power ordinarily developed running on the high speed gear, with the spark and throttle levers at an average notch. The second fig ures represent the horsepower that the en gine Is capable of developing when run ning at its highest possible number of revolutions. Captain Borg of the Nebraska foot ball team and Assistant Coach Westover have elected the state fisheries at South Bend as the training headquarters during the preliminary aeason for the 'vanity foot ball team. These grounds were used four years ago and are Ideal except that provisions have to be ferried across the river in a rowboat, but with twenty-five husky foot ball player this will not be a hard task. Fish Commissioner O'Brien will extend all of the courtesies of the place to th players, who will have the advan tagea of a plunge in the Platte river which many of the other sites offered did not have. Omaha will have several foot ball team thl fall from present Indications. Manag ers of athletics at the Omaha High school are already figuring on games thla fall a well a th Omaha Commercial college and th Boyle team which made uch a splendid start on it first season. These commercial colleges are all equipped with large gymnasiums and pay especial atten tion to athletics of all kinds and espec ially to foot ball. Crelghton University will have its usual strong team in the field and will have as strong a schedule a th management can prepare. Last year the other team of th city were handicapped because the Crelghton monopolised all the grounds of the city. Having grounds of it own, the team ngage4 the- Vinton street The changes In the foot ball rule for 1906, of which there are quite a number, for the most part bear upon more strict interpretation rather than anything that will affect the detail of the play Itself. Under rule 8, relating to a scrimmage, a distinction ha been made between the act of the snapper-back and the act of any other player of the side in possession of the ball. If the snapper-back makes a motion as If to snap the ball, whether he withhold It or not, the ball is regarded as in play, and the scrimmage begins. If any. other player of the side In possession of the ball makes an attempt by a false start to draw the opponents' off-side and the ball is then snapped, it shall be brought back and not be regarded a in play or the scrimmage commenced. Legislation has also been directed at any player who are out of bounds at the time when the ball Is put in play, and a rule has been made that no player shall be out of bounds at the time when the ball is put In play, except the man who 1 holding the ball for a place-kick. Instruction I given to the referee to blow hi whistle Immediately when the forward progrea of th ball ha been stopped. This has been done In order to lessen the tendency to fight for the ball after its progress has been stopped, or to steal it from a player who practically has It "down." A rule has also been made that when a substitute is sent In he cannot run on to the field and get into the lineup, but must go directly to the referee and report himself before he can be permitted to take his place. This Is to do away with the tendency at times when a substitute was sent in of having both the substitute and the man he was to replace playing in the game at one and the same time. Coaching from the side lines is now to be penalized by a loss of ten yards Instead of five. In order to make definite what a captain might request In the way of giv ing of time, a note has been appended to the rule which states that the linesman shall notify the captains of the time re maining to play not more than ten nor less than five minutes before the end of each half, to the effect that there Is no objection to the linesman giving the ap proximate time to the captain who ask for it at any time during the game. He may not, however, be asked for this time more than three times within the last five min utes of th half. The annual lawn tennis tournament for the championship of the United Statea, be ginning August 22, will be in three sections, a announced by Palmer E. Presby, secre tary. The doubles. In which Collins and Waldner will represent the west and the winners of the present doubles contest at Longwoodk Mass., will represent the east, will be played the first day, and on Wednes day, August 22, the winning pair will chal lenge Ward and Wright, the present hold ers of the championship.

American golf teams will Invad Mexico next winter and compete in the annual winter tournament of the Mexico Country Club to be held over the San Pedro course, in December and January. The chief event of the play will be the club foursome matches, and tn these it la expected that the American will enter teams. It I laid that Walter J. Travis will head one of the American teams and John M. Ward, who is captain of the New Jersey Golf association, will bring another. Beside these several teams of western player are expected to enter. Tb following men have already signified their, Intention of bringing teams: Leslie D. Pierce. A. H. Hume. George Mer rill. E. C. Babb, Price 8. Evans. C. M. Noyes, L. A. Hamilton. Dr. W. J. Parke.

Ely Joined the rank of the motorists last week, Investing; In a hand some two-oyllnier touring car. Dr. Macrae of Council Bluffs had a hurry call to Glenwood, la., one day last week, and was taken over without loss of time In an automobile. Dr. Kirby of Fremont, Neb., was an Omaha visitor a few days and before leaving for home left his order for a de tachable tonneau car, Mr. Max Meyer, Mr. W. S. Poppleton, Mr. Judaon and others had touring cars out last week, entertaining their friend with the pleasures of motoring. C. O. Powell left Friday morning on a short automobile tour, taking in the nearby towns here in Nebraska. He was accom panied by Mr. Fred Skat a mechanician. A local dealer report the sale of a 12,600 touring car to Mr. Clare Coleman of Ver don, Neb. Mr. Coleman drove home In his new car, and the trip was made in a most satisfactory manner. King Edward of Great Britain ha a tring of automobiles, mostly of English make. Queen Alexandra, however, use exclusively an electrlo of th Victoria pat tern, made in America. Excavation was begun for the new a-araa-a which J. J. Derlght is to build on automo bile row. This is the third auto dealer to move to Fariiam street, west of the city hall, and tends to throw this class of business Into on neighborhood. Mr. B. Denlson. reoreaentlno- one nf h big eastern automobile factories called on me i-oweii-tsacon company last Thursday. He says that this is the biggest year by far tho Industry has ever had in the east. He finds the tendency is towards laritnr and more powerful cars, and that the com mercial venicie u gradually growing into favor.

For those countries who want to see the Bennett cup race continued, it would seem a diplomatlo move for them to Issue a chal lenge to the French club as soon as possible. Italy already has taken the Initiative. The French club declares its purpose to return the trophy to its donor. Ail records pertain ing to It, naturally will go with It. If sev eral challenges from different nations were handed In with the cup, the donor of it hardy could avoid putting it up again for competition. France's position relative to the Bennett cup race appears similar to that of the swinish youngster who said he wanted to be fair and wanted only half of the bed, but he wanted his half In the middle, and was Willing to let his brother gather his half as best he mlght.or sleep on each sldu of him If he could. France want only it fair share of representation in the race. It Is claimed, but It holds Its "fair share" to be at least twice as many car a any other nation has. Mr. and Mrs. H. B.

Mr. Grove represent a De Moines firm and hi terri tory extend over northern Iowa, eastern Nebrska southeast South Dakota and south ern Minnesota. With the machine as means of transportation, Mr. Groves says he la able to double hi itinerary, making a he doe between seven and nine towns dally. So far the tourists are playing in great luck, not having as much as a puncture to a tire since they left their botue In Wat erloo, five years ago, , "As a class, the automobile of Europe are not nearly a good a those of our country," says F. E. Dayton, of the Elec trlo Vehicle company, who has recently returned from British and continental Europe. He adds: "The European fashion of motor car buying Is to purchase the chassis and have a coach builder construct the body. The result la a collection of misfit, poorly designed bodies, which give an individuality to th cars, making no two stem alike, and causing difficulty in distinguishing different makes. In Paris many short wheel base cars, almost 00 toleie In this country, are still mad use of by the fashionable.
