Interests from Krntnrkf to Me

Ihe Elmwood club is now organized with
a full uuoia of otlKcrs and has lin-n In
o-rporated under tho lawn of Nebraska,
and ovcrytlilritf sc-rms to lie s.ilur.g In o
shape lor thu new horsemen's club. The
olrcrtora aro working en safe and cut
grounds, Hna the luca la working out in
Hue ahar. A lease hits been (".-cured for
the grounds, and John D. Creigntou lias
offered to build the club house for tho
members. This insures a club bouse which
will be built early In tho spring. Tho in
terest of J. t. Crvlgliton goes further than
a. financial lnlere.it' lit tho undertaking, for
Mr. Crclghtou has also declared his In
tention of erecting at once some large
stables at the truck, and this la taken
by those who know that Mr. Crelghton
W'lll move hi Immense hors plant from
the Blue Grass stale back to Nebraska.
Should Mr. Cre.iKhton move his horses
here It would mean that the track would
b kept In tho finest possible shnpo and
tl u.t other horsemen would use his barns
and use the track for training purposes,
all of which would attract a large num
ber of horsemen to Omaha. Nebraska has
long been noted for the aplendld racing
horses sent forth from this mute. While
the Horse Show Is a great thing for the
city, it does not attract the large num
bers from the slate which horse racing
would, and It la the Intention of some of
the members of the club to organlio a
separate association and have some horse
racing In Omaha. Horse racing always
draws the crowds and tho men coino to
the city and stay for several days, all of
which la of Immense benefit to the city.
Smaller towns like Blair and Tekamah
and Fremont have most successful race
meets and tho towns are not large enough
to accommodate the people who flock to
see the races. These races will bring just
the kind of crowds a city likes to enter
tain. This is one of the prime objects
of the promoters in getting up tho races,
l'resldent Nash of the new club always
insists that It is a city's business to fur
nish amusements which will attract peo
ple to it, and that by this end the city
is promoted more than by any advertise
ments the merchants CHn put out. When
people get Into the habit of visiting a
city for their amusements, there is the
place they will naturally turn for their
business. With this end In view It Is
contemplated to put on some races for
some big purses which will attract the
beat horsea of the country. Tho track will
be Becond to nono in the country, for It
was second to none when in use, and la
just as good today as it was then. If not
better, for It haa had a bettor chance to
settle.

The officers of Ennwood club are: F.

of Armour At Co., vico president; ensues
T. Kountie, treasurer, and Joseph Barker,

To increase the af.nual dues from $10
to $00 was the decision of the members
of the Omaha Country club at the annual
dinner held at Jhe Omaha club-Tuesday
evening. With a membership of 272 this
means, the dlrectora will have $5,440 more
than they had last yeur to spend on tho
cjub-v'rhe Country club la composed of
the leadirnX families of the city, and many
of the membViuufehave been Insisting that
tlie house be run oiin higher plane than
heretofore, but to do "this required money,
so the matter was put to a vote of the
members, and It,' la said but one voted
against the ra'tse. This raise In du's
means that a '..igh-prlced chef will be hired
and more Y p will be kept around the duo
hifase. so that everything wilt be run in
the best,, possible shape. The golf course
at the Country club has not had to bo
chanced around as much as the Field
clul) course, and It Is now recognized as
riie of the best courses In the west. The
greens are in splendid shape.
The Field club haa decided to raise the
yearly duea from la) to $30, which makes
raise In the Income of tho club of over
$3,000, aa there are over 500 members. . The
club lias been to a large expense during the
last few years because of the 'rebuilding
and enlarging of the club house and the
constant changes which have been mado in
the golf links. Before the final change was
made the links were continually changed
and the switch from the west forty to the
new wooded course north of the road has
been quite expensive. This will be finished
up in the spring und thou the expense of
tlie golf links will be diminished and the
directors will have more money to spend
along other linos. The club haa been doing
a great work in promoting athletlca in
Omaha and is the chief backing of tenuis.
Large sums have been yearly expended to
promote the game of tennis, both In keep
ing up the finest courts in the west and
in tournaments which have brought tennis
cracks from all over the country. Golf
tournaments bave also been hold at the
Field club, this year the club being the
host for the Transmlssisslppl Golf associ
ation. These all promote the spuria uamod
from an amateur standpoint and all cost
money. Most of tlie members axe ath
letically Inclined and take part in one or
the other of the outdoor sports and alt are
willing and anxious to promote sports in
every manner potslblc. With some of the
permanent expense Items out of lb way,
the club will be uble to work on broader
lines with the Increased annual dues.
The December tuuniunient Is on at the
Omaha Bacquet club and the members are
all striving fur the honors of Class A and
Class B. "Kplko" Kennedy is such a wo;i
ler at the game that it seems that It la

nedy's magnificent physique ts too much
fur the others, for iiu literally runs them
cfT their feel. A majority of the members
take part in ths games and enjoy tho mag
nificent plunge after exercise.
With the close of the foot, ball season
tl.e most fruitful topic of discussion Is the
tifsct of the new rules on the game as it
was played this fall. Broadly speaking",
the new rules bave born remarkably sue
i -asful. No one clalma they are perfect
't that they have brought about the d-
.rvd changes in the game, but they have
t.".u a long ways toward making the gajna
i oie acceptable to a'l the kuockers who
civ ubrcad in the laud a year ago ut this
l.ne No one will deny the new rules have
tu.kla the gam cleaner, mors interesting
from a spectator's standpoint and consid
erably leas dangerous. The report of ac
cidents have been lessened ly over one
half, and all who attended games this fall
will attest the betterment from a spec
tator standpoint. Lost year the tcami
were constantly plunging the centr and
to a man not thoroughly posted on the
ptamii or acquainted with the teams a largi
part of the Interest was lacking. But thla
yenr, with the ten-yard rule forcing the
ball to be In the air most of the time, the
game haa been vastly more interesting
to the thousands who line the sides of the
gridiron. The kicking feature hua not
been alone In making the plays more ap
parent, but also the forward pass, tho
crisscrosses and the double and triple
raises have all been made In the opn sight
of the spectators, who were able at all
times to see what waa going on. The new
game also requlrrs more skill on the part
of the plnys, for more men handle the
bull. t'ndfr the old rules lively men were
needed back of the line to carry the ball,
and a few tine men were taught the sama
game, but green men could be put In the
line and taught to block off the opponents
until tho back field men could get off with
the ball. Now, to compete with any de
gree of success with a good team, the en
tire eleven must be skilled in handling the
ball, which Is no easy task, for the ball
Is a clumsy thing to handle and requires
days' of training. The teams with the
ends and backs moat skilled In catching
punts and panning the ball had en Immense
advantage thla year.
The training question for foot ball teams
will aoon come up for discussion at th
meeting of the rules committee. No doubt
the Nebraska team was not well trained
physically this fall, because no atrlct ob
servance of training rules was enforced
Mlcha l Sheridan, who Is perhaps the best
all-round athlete in the world or who
ever donned a spiked shoe, has been quoted
aa aayir.g that he never found It necessary
to train when taking part In track events.
Another world'a champion. William Sher
rlng, takes an entirely different view of
the case. HO won the Marathon at Athena
last year and says: "Hard and continu
ous work is the way we prepare for long
road runs up around our way. One diy
it'a a ten-mile run; the next fifteen miles
at a slower clip; then twenty-five mllei
walking, then back to the run of ten mlloa
again." That'a the way, according to the
man who dashed the Greek's Marathon
hopes, the Canadian runners fit themselves
to run tho great twenty-flve-mlle races
which have excited the admiration of the
athletic world. President Jesse of the
University of Missouri says that training
Is the whole thing and that a trained ath
lete with plenty of room for the expansion
of his lungs will not be hurt so easily.
What the general rules committee will
do with the rules la an open question
which time will have to settle. The rules
have been given a good try-out and found
quite an improvement. After the Army
Navy game last Saturday a meeting of
tho prominent foot ball men who were !
present at the game was held, among whom
were Walter Camp, Prof. Dennis John
Campbell, Carl Williams, Paul Dashiel,
John B. Pine and W. H. Corbin. They
adopted several suggestions for changes
which will be sent to the general foot ball
rules committee. They advocate a flfteen-
yard penalty Instead of the losa of the
ball when a forward pass hits the gound.
A majority favored the abolition of the
five-yard rule from center in too forward
pass. ,
Favored allowing two forward passes In
one actimmage if the field did hot cross the
line of scrimmage;
Opiwsed to Increasing the number of
downs In ten yards.
Favored giving linemen the privilege of
exchanging with the backs, provided that
suen a shirt will not produce muss ptajx
Favored the abolition of the rule pro
hibiting tackling below the knees.
Favored keeping the five men on the side
tin back three yards from the-erridlron.
Favored Increasing the time of play to
thlrty-five-mtnuto halves and that time tw
taken out for distance penalties.
Favored abolishing the second umpires.
Favored clauses clarifying under what
conditions a man could recover the forward
pasa.
Favored a ruling definitely protecting the
man eatchlng a punt.
Voted that In further legislation the
referee be given control of the condition
and progresa of the ball and the umpire
the players.
With the finish of the foot ball season
the athletic managera of the universities

games for next year. . Several changes
have been made by the western conference

N J when injured in an automobile ac
cident, M. F. Mctculf ot boultt Oiauge,
and Manager Reed of Minnesota have al
ready agreed upon November 2 as the
date of the Chl ago-Mlnnesota gume next
year. As It now stands, there is consider
able controversy ns to which Is the bet
ter team In the west. The adherents of
both Michigan and Chicago claim that
honor. The Chicago-Minneapolis pernio will
be played In Minneapolis and this was
the only date agreed upon at the Big Nine
conference at Chicago last week. Graduate
Manager Balrd of Michigan was present
and it was thought he and Stagg would
decide upon a date, but It Is said nothing
was done looking toward a renewal of
athletic relations between these two uni
versities. Jacob Schaefer, the wizard of billiards.
Is soon to challenge for both the 1S.1 and
IS. 2 world's championship billiard emblem.
Willie Hoppo and Georgo Sutton are the
present respective holders of the 18.1 and
1S.2 emblems. It Is for the latter that they
will play in this city on Tuesday evening.
December 18. The two players are now in
hard practice Hoppe at his brother
Frank's room on Broadway, New York,
and Sutton in Chicago, where he has a
room. Both show good form. Iloppe haa
held the 1S.1 emblem since he defeated
Vlgnaux, and brought the trophy back to
America about a year ago. He waa then
challenged by Slosson, whom he easily de
feated, but who hod promised to renew
his challenge. Slosson haa since retired
and la not expected to again be a com
petitor for either emblem, his second easy
defeat at the hands of Sutton having.
It Is said, caused the atudent to break
his cue and announce his retirement.
Schaefer's challenges, coming at this time,
would necessitate champlonahlp contests
In January and February. The challenger
trophy holder has sixty daya in which to
play from date of challenge. If Schaefer,
therefore, challenged Hoppe now for the
l'.l emblem that game would be played
about the mlddlo of January. A challenge
to the winner of the Sutton-Hoppe contest
on December 18 would mean another game
for the 18.2 emblem about the middle of
February. There would also be a month
between each game, which would give
the playera ample time to change and per
fect their play in practice. All these games
will undoubtedly be played in New York,
and it Is expected that by the time Sutton
and Hoppe meet, the former will be a
resident of this city. It is possible, how
ever, that Chicago may get one of the
games in case Hoppe gets back both em
blems, as patrons of billiards in this city
are hungry for billiards by any of the
"Big Three," and flattering inducements
will be made by promtors to secure a con
test. Yes, I am going to fight Kid Herman on
January 2, and that will be my last fight,"
said Joe Gans, the champion lightweight
boxer. "There will be one possibility of
my going Into the ring again; that Is, if
Battling Nelson really wants to fight me
and will make terms to suit me. I mean
by this not such terms as will give every
advantage, as waa given him at GoldfUid,
but anything that is fair, square and equi
table. Yes, I would be more than glad to
fight him again. After that it is good
bye to the ring for Joe Gans."

Edward Hanlon, the largest stockholder
In the Baltimore base ball club, has pur
chased the property on the York road

something like $60,000. The grounds are to
be entirely reconstructed and new stands
erected. The space enclosed will be much
larger. lhan al. present, gjving -foul lines
from the plate to the fence of 316 feet on
one side and 309 feet on the other. The dis
tance from the plate to the center field
fence will be very much longer than now.
It la the first time that those Interested In
base ball here have ever owned their
grounds. Mr. Hanlon said: "The purchase
of the grounds is the first step toward get
ting that big league club that I want Just
as badly as the base ball rooters. I hope
we will all pull together to make it sure
that Baltimore will be tho only city con
sldered when a change In a big league
circuit Is deemed advisable by those who
have the say."

three monument recently made. One was

depended Its continuance. It Is especially
gratifying to those who regard tho game
an the most virile and beneficial of tho
hnrdy outdoor games that It has conio
through the severe test with tho most
creditable record. The changea wrought In
the srt have been generally helpful and
there has been scarcely a quarter whence
encomiums have not been showered upon
It. In a few minor technical details there
has been a disposition to criticise the play,
but with the tenor of the sport, the spirit
of the play and the general atmosphere of
healthful rivalry manifested there haa been
no cause for complaint. It is not too much
to say that the experimentation with the
rules waa regarded in most Instances as
highly Impractical. It was felt by those
who had been taught to develop mass for
mation that no other style of game could
be produced that would be successful. Yet
without them this year there have been
a succession of contests played that have
been extremely spectacular and pleasing.
To be sure, when evenly matched teams
have met, it has been difficult. If not Im
possible, to advance the ball and the game
became too often on Indeterminate kicking
duel that was monotonous and disappoint
ing to the technical man. but to the apeo
tator the game lost nothing on this score.
When the reform movement that brought
about tho change awept over the college
world lust year there were few that
thought the sport could aurvive. The evils
complained of were legion and seemingly
ineradicable. If they had bctn approached
with a spirit of intolerance they would
navo meant the game's discontinuance, but
the Bport had influential friends, who ex
erted every influence to secure a fair trial
for It, and the wisdom of their temperance
has been amply Justified. The evils were
divided, and those of its moral 6lde dis
tinguished from Its technical abuses, and
by different treatment each has been
largely corrected. The moral difficulties
are the concern of the faculties, the tech
nical of the rules committee. The strict
definition of foul play and the stringent
regulations against it were further causes
of satisfaction. They have been disquali
fications for rough play and frequent pen
alties for fouls In all the games, but the
severity of the punishment has tended to
discourage this sort of play more than
any other means could, and it Is prob
able that another year will see the almost
complete eradication of the evil.
Now, as to the changea In the rules that
affected the game itself, it Is natural that
the ten-yard rule, as the most talked-of
change, should be the first subject ot com
ment. The ten-yard rule, currying with
It the necessity of advancing the ball In
three tries, double the distance of the
previous years, while the most formidable
and certain methods of attack, the mass
plays, were eliminated, brought about the
frequent Interchanges of kicks. While these
are desirable beyond a doubt, it Is possible
too severe limitations have been put
upon ingenuity in attack and that kicks
have been too frequent. The effect has
be-n to give a team possessing one player
of exceptional ability in kicking a pre
ponderant advantage that rather minimizes
team effort, one of the most important
and desirable factors in the old game.
It is felt by all those who have a wld,
practical experience in the game that
something should be done to counteract
this tendency, to reduce kicking to Its
legitimate plaoe,. Its proper relation to the
other details of the game. Outside of this
there Is no complaint with the game. It
was felt that the two new factors, the
so-called onslde kick and the forward pass,
would afford the relief that the situation
demanded. It was also felt that end run
ning, that extremely spectacular and In
teresting phase of the play that was char
acteristic of the game fifteen years ago,
would be stimulated and revived. Experi
ence has shown, however, that between
teams of equal strength end running al
ways' has' been and always will be Im
possible until some moans of limiting the
end defense Is found, bo that only the new
fangled devices proved practicable. Both
of these were attended by too much un
certainty and hedged about by too many
restrictions to prove of sufficient force In
relieving the situation. The onslde kick
lost the ball as often as It gained and
served to emphaslzo and put a premium
on the chances of mlsplays. Poor playing
rather than good d"termlned the outcome
of too many games, though, taken all In
all, there Is no one who would wish to
withdraw the onside kick rule.
As to forward passes, the fact that there
were so many ways in which fouls could be
committed to vitiate their good effects pre-

mand la for a HKt beer a lighter beer than any yet produced - beer wltK all the goodne
and purity of the beat beers now known, but without any of the comebacks nnually asso
ciatcdwltb beer drink Intf. A beer without that "atlcky" bearlnen that oppressive bloating iht
unpleasant Vnext-mornlntf" experience after an evening of food cheer. A beer that yon like, and can
drink as much as you like. And that beer which it remained for u to study oat and perfect the
very highest attainment of the brewer'a art, is
"tCXUS" IS DIFFERENT an eiqaisite surprise to the palate.
LUXtS" IS DIFFERENT it is brewed entirely from the finest hop grown
in Bohemia, malt made from the best barley grown in the world, the fineit Indian
rice, the pnrcst water from oar own Artesian Springs.
"LUXIS" IS DIFFERENT no beer was ever brewed with such exacting
Uniformity as "Luxus." That's because every process of the brewing is automatically
controlled by electrical machinery especially designed for the brewing of this par
ticular beer.
"LUXUS" IS DIFFERENT It has excellent body, without hiarlness; Its
color Is the palest, clearest araberj It has the refreshing snap, sparkle and life of
champagne It satisfies the palate and quenches thirst as no outer beer does.
HUXUS" IS DIFFERENT It Is not a billions beer bat rather a most
wholesome appetizer and aid to digestion.
NOW IN TllIS CASE in any case of "luxos" yon will find 24 fall
quarts or 26 pints, as yoa order, of the most complete beer satisfaction ever pot
into a bottle.
As a lover of good beer, pare beer, light beer yoa can't afford to be
without a case of "Luxus" in your home. "Luxus" is a beer for the home,
'filling a place hitherto unfilled.
So In this case there's nothing left for yoa to do bat get a case of
"Luxus" the "Beer you Like."
Most every dealer In the West has it in stock. If your hasn't "Luius"
don't waste time, but write US we'll see that yoa get it, and quickly.

vented them from being tried to the extent
that was necessary to enable one team to
avoid kicking constantly. If the ball touched
the ground without being ' touched by a
player on either side on the spot where the
pass was made this prevented forward
pas so 8 by a team near its own goal, since it
could not afford to risk a fault giving the
other team a chance to score then and
there. Bo, too, the restrictions forbidding
the ball to be passed forward except out
side of five yards on either side of the cen
ter, preventing It being received by any
player except the enls of those on the line
of scrimmage, all served to unnecessarily
handicap the play. F.lther something must
be done to remove these restrictions or
some means must be found to encourage
and make possible end runs if the game Is
not to degenerate into a kicking duel ex
clusively, in defiance Of its original inten
tion. Floyd MacFarland, "Long Mac," the fa
vorite o the six -day-race "fans," will ride
this year in the big grind at Mud. son
Square Garden, December 8 to 15. The news
ot MacFarlund's entry in the six-day race
will be received with enthusiasm by the
lovers of the sport who turn out each year
for the big event in, the Garden. There Is
no more popular rider in the world today
than MacFarland, and he is, if possible, a
bigger favorite among the New York con
tingent than anywhere else. Walter Rutt,
the champion of Oermany, will be MacFar
land' partner. Rutt stands foith as ona
of the greatest cycle riders that ever Jour
neyed to thla country to compete for the
great prize. lie began racing in W) nnd
came at once into prominence, winning the
grand prize of Hamburg in which such
champions ns Mayer, iluber and Arend
were competing.
Three thousand miles for a chance to win
a prize. That Is the trip that Arthur Van
derstuyft. the plucky little Belgian cycling
champion, who for the last two years has
been a contestant in the nix-day iac?s,
teamed with John Stnl of Ilollnnd, has just
made for the purpose of taking part in the
six-day race at the Garden on December
to IS. The management of the race, in
search for Dew faces and new champions,
had rejected Vanderstuyft and BtcJ's entry
this year. This refusal waa not good
enough for Vanderstuyft, and without a
word to anyone except his partner, ho took
a steamer for America and In person de
manded that the entry of the famous B-1-glum-IIolland
team be accepted, and It was.
Vanderstuyft began riding a bicycle In lSui.
He Is Z3 years old. weighs 141 pcunds and
Is only 5 feet inches In height. 11.: makes
up In the width of bis legs, it would tako
a column to enumerate the Belgian's ln
string of victories. He won the Bel d'Or In
I 'arts last year and broke the world'a human-paced
twenty-four-hour record riding
during that time, M3.6' kilometers. His
victories this year have been numerous.
Starting with the Grand Prix at Marseilles,
In France, he continued Ills winning streak
and "copped" the Grosser Bummer Freia
of Berlin and the Gelden Wheel race of
Treptow, an rid flulxhed second to Darragon
in the world'a rhamplonshlpa at Geneva,
Switzerland.
