The Middle West tournament has rnitu
to be looked upon an the. leading tennis
vent of the west, not only because of the
number of entries, but also from the rank
of the player who take part and the In
terest It arouses In Omaha and other
cities In the Missouri valley. While It
Ik too early to give any list of the players
who will ba seen at the tournament, which
opens at the Omaha Field club August 19,
there Is good reason to believe the seventh
annual tournament will fully sustain the
imputation already attained by this classic.
For many years Omaha has been a good
tennis town. Before the Middle West was
mad a fixture a less pretentious event
flourished for several years under the title
of the Omaha: Interstate Tennis tourna
ment and was held under the auspices of
the Omaha Tennis club. After the organt
zatton of the Omaha Field club, which
drew Into Its membership most of the lead
ing tennis men of thp city, the tourna
ment feature was revived under the more
ambitious title of the Championship of the
Middle WVst and became one of tha recog
nised fixtures of the I'nlted States I -awn
Tennis association.
Where Good Men Come From.
The surrounding rtates of Nebraska,
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas have from the
tart contributed their best to the entry
list, although in most Instances the win
Tiers have come from other sections of the
country. Oalesburg, where the game flour
lshee, as In most college towns, has regu
larly sent a good contingent of players who
have always been real contenders both In
the singles and doubles.
The Middle West tournament Is played
on clay courts and the clay courts of the
Omaha Field club are probably unexcelled
by any clay courts In the world. They are
feeler than the best turf courts and It Is
often said the players who excel! on the
grass courts find them entirely too fast
for them. Tet the Field club courts have
a reslstence which distinguishes them
from the hard courts of gravel or cinders
which ara used In many places In wet
weather, when the turf Is too soggy for
play. The courts are a natural sandy loam,
which Is peculiar to the Missouri valley.
These courts have developed the play
along a line which distinguishes It from
the grass court play. Straight, hard hit
ting and placing are the characteristics
of dirt court tennis. The game Is much
mors athletic and at the same time speedy
enough to require thp best Judgment. It
lias been suggested that the Mlddla West
tournament, therefore, not only determine
the championship of the middle west, but
also tha clay court championship of tha
I'nlted States. The week at Omaha this
1ear coincides with the week of the na
tional championships at Newport.
Many Advantages In Omaha.
For those who do not care to journey to
the far east Omaha offers many advantages
and tha prestige of a national championship
nhould givs added Interest to the game In
the west. The clay court game is far
more prevalent In the west and the feeling
exists that tha game Is sufficiently different
from the turf game to warrant the national
association giving It separata recognition.
The tennis committee already has made
application to the United Btates Lawn Ten
nis association to use the title "National
t'lny Court Championship" In connection
with the Omaha tournament. The position
of Omaha, the fact that the middle west
hus already cstabllnhed itself as the leading
tournament played on clay courts, the ex
cellence of the Omaha courts and the co
Incidence of the date with the Newport
tournament are some of the reasons set
, forth when asking for the title.
Conrad Young, .chairman of the tennis
committee, has charge of all tennis ar
rangements for the tournament which Is
to be played on tha seven courts of the
Omaha Field club. Tha Field club Is espe
cially adapted for the holding of large
tournaments and Is one of the moat suc
cessful organizations of its kind in the
west, having a membership of 550 and a
large waiting list. Besides tennis, the
club provides facilities for golf, bowling
and base ball, and Is especially well
equipped for the entertainment of visiting
players. The hospitality of the club Is
well known and visiting players always
want to return.
The Field club Is greatly assisted In
giving such a successful tournament by the
Intense Interest taken in the game through
out tha city. There are a score of t""-' "
clubs In Omaha and all unite In an effort
to promote the middle west. There were
alxty-on entries In the singles In the city
tournament, which Is also promoted by tha
Omaha Field club.
' Soma of tha Winners.
Among the names of those who have won
the honors In the Middle West tournaments
are recognized soma of tha leading tennis
experts of the country. Some of the lead
era who have attended are Frank and Fred
Fberbart, Bond, Snow, Peters, Blorum,
Reuben Hunt, Waldner and Collins and
many others well known throughout the
west.
The magnificent championship now bears
these names: ,

Young's Letter of Request.
Following la tha letter written by Chair
man Young to the secretary of the national
association, asking for the privilege of hold
ing a clay court ohamplonshlp:
OMAHA. July 1.-Mr. Palmar E. Pres
'"". Honorable Secretary Vmted States
National Un Tennis Association, Bos
ton. Miii. Pear Sir: Realising that
Uiddl West Championship Ten
nis tournament, held annually for th
Inst tlx yeais on th clay courts of th
Fitld i lub respectfully asks permission of
I he I'nlted States Un Tennis association
in use the title of "National Hay Court
i Tamplunship'' tn connection with this
vent.
tur reasons for asking for this title are
many. Throughout tha mlddla wt and
farther western states tha cle.y court game
Is essentially th on that Is played and
th testing Is growing that ther Is a dis
tinct dtfrrnc between the grass court and
tl. ly court same which should entitle
th latter to official and eeparate rocognl
, ttrm. e have. w underm,.,i, a "National

practice Is on clay courts are at a disad
vantage when placed on a grass court, ami
for this reason they are discouraged from
entering the large eastern tournaments.
The same Is true of grass court players
when considering playing in wentern tourn
aments. The prestige of a title conveying
nationul honora to the clay court game
would certainly give an Impetus that would
bring tennis to the front of all strictly am
ateur sports engaged In In the western
country. Should your executive committee
recognize a clay court championship the
reasons for holding It at Omaha and the
Omaha Field club are as follows: Omaha
Is practlrally in the center of the I'nlted
Btates and is the mo.t accessible point in
the territory where clay courts prevail. It
Is a most enthusiastic tennis town as, be
sides the following it has at the two larger
outdoor clubs (the Omaha Field club and
the Country club), there are a score of other
tennis clubs In town, many of them private
affairs, hut all unite to promote the suc
cess of the 'Championship of the Middle
West." A gallery of 1,500 poople will often
be present at Important matches. The
tournament has always been moat excel
lently managed and In no case has the
event ever run over the six days allotted to
It. even though the entries In singles are
generally In the sixties. Moreover, the
Omaha Field club, with Its active member
ship of 5f0, Its superb equipment and Its
many clay courts, whltth are unexcelled
throughout the entire country, offers ad
vantages which no other club west of the
Missouri valley can produce. I might add
that Mr. Reals Wrlglft has visited our club
and was very enthusiastic In his optnlon
of It.
Trusting that your governing board will
get favorably on our suggestion, I am. yours
faithfully, CONRAD H. VOL'NO.

BATTLE ROYAL ON COURTS
Martin Gives Caldwell a Hard Bun for
It, Taking First Set.
HUGHES ALSd MAKES YOUNG GO
N amber of Matches la Doable Go by
Default and the Contest la
Rapidly A'atrowlag Down
to th Finals.
Two more closely fought matches were
pulled off In singles at the city tennis tourn
ament at th Field club Saturday afternoon,
and the doubles were brought considerably
nearer tha finals. Caldwell beat Martin In
a contest which looked for a time as If tha
favorite would be beaten. Martin took the
first set. 4-6. and had four games of the
second before Caldwell could get more than
two. Caldwell picked up after that, how
ever, and took that set at - .
7-5. In the last set Martin gave him another
oaa scare wnen it was run to deuce and
twice he was within ona point of winning
the match. Martin had been playing tha
best game that ha ihas ever shown on the
Field club courts and compares favorably
with Caldwell, who has won more than one
hard battle there and has oertalnly been
playing as well, or better, than ever.
The Toung-Hughes match was another
hard fight, although Toung took the first
two sets, 6-4, P-4. Toung favorite stroke
this year seems to be a swift lawford, and
he usually manages to get It well Into a
corner and out of reach. Hughes played a
strong game, however, and the expected
champion-to-be waa not allowed to loaf at
any time.
Defaults In Doable.
In doubles a number of matches went h
default and the contest Is narrowing down
to the possible winners. Caldwell and
Toung are playing together, which means,
of course, that they will be expected to take
the finals, but it Is by no means settled.
In the consolation singles Kolin Is spoken
of as the probable winner. In the semi
finals Sweet beast Armstrong, and will play
the winner of the Kohn-Bartlett match in
the finals next week. It is expected the
tournament will be completed by next Sat
urday. The finals In the singles probably
will be played Monday, and the challenge
match with Bcribner. last year's champion,
is scheduled for Wednesday.
Baturday's scores:
In championship singles:
Caldwell beat Martin, 4-, -4, 7-5.
Young beat Hughes, 6-4. 6-4.
In championship doubles:
