Mlsaoarl Taller Meet.
A lint of the antrlea for the first annual
, Intercolonial track meet of the Missouri
valley haa been filed with Cr. CInrp and
, contain over 25) namea of men who will
compete at Kansas City on May 23. Iowa
haa fifty men entered, that being the
largest entry list of any of the schools.
' Ames and Nebraska each have about forty
men entered. Washington haa about forry
flv men entered. Kansas has the smallest
entry list. It numbers only twenty-one
men. Drake's list Is next In slse to' that
of Iowa, having; nearly fifty men.
The Kansas City -dopestera-' have fig
ured out that Iowa will win the meet by a
t small margin. They seem, however, to
have failed to take Missouri Into consider
ation. Missouri for several years hag
tufnei out one of the best track teams In
the valley, and the Tiger cinder rath team
this year la no exception. From past work
and the showing the-Tlgers hava made thla
spring they ought to be the winners May 23.
Nebraska can hope to do no better than
to take second or third rfte.ce. The Corn
huskers Bra weak this year and their only
hope In the big meet Is to pull out several
seconds and thirds,
i The election of student members to the
t Nebraska athletic board will taka place
. Monday. The campaign has stirred up much
trouble between the fraternity men and thu
barbs," and has held the attention of the
entire university public this week. There
are ten candidates for the five places on
the bosrd.
When the Cornhusker base ball team re
turns from Its eastern trip a game will
be played' with Wesleyan university for
the championship of the state. Two games
have been played between these teams thla
spring, each nine getting a contest. The
third tame to decide the state title will
probably be played before the end of May.
BELLE VUE TRACK TEAM BUSY
Captain Carey and Ills Sqnad Do Some
Wood Work. ,
Captain Carey and his squad of track
athletes have been doing iom consistent
work at Bellcvue. Tho local collegians are
certain of several events at the stats meet
at University place May 23. Kacely on tha
dashes Is getting In fine form, making a
practice dash of 100 yards In 10. Prim
rose and Curtis bid fair to usurp the power
of the mighty Kearna with tha disk and In
tha shot put.
In the long runs, Roaencrans and At
watef In the mile and Pope and Primrose
In the half mile, are training consistently,
and a, re getting In good form. Carey and
Enfield are doing five feet and a half In
the high Jump 'and an easy twenty feet In
the broad jump. In the pole vault Templln
and Brandt are easy winners. Barry, the
big freshman. Is throwing the hammer In
the greatest of form. With Kearns as a
nucleous, there Is bound to be excellent
team work.
A large crowd of enthusiastic rooters ex
! peot to accompany the squad to he state
'meet and aid them In carrying away the
pennant. Since eight -colleges ' are repre
1 sented at this meet, concentration on the
wlnr.ing of a few events will bring the
laurel to any team. On this principle the
local boys expect to make a strong bid for
first place. '
The Intercollegiate pennant race In base
ball Is now underway, with Bellevue, Cot
rier and Peru all 1,000 per cent. Corner has
a strong team and It Is here that Bellevue
expects to meet Us strongest, foe. The
Irjdlans have been doing some fine fielding,
and as the batting averages are picking
up. they should have no trouble with the
college from Bethany. The game put up
by the champions so far this year promises
to retain for them their position at the top
of tha list
Of the new men on the Bellevue squad
Mortar Is making a splendid showing In
the outfield. He plays cool, steady ball,
and Is a good hitter and fast on the bases.
Browne, the star pitcher, on whom marty
hopes were placed, haa been barred from
all participation In athletics by the faculty
on account of delinquency In his studies.
There are no hopes of his entering the
game this season, much to the disappoint
ment of tho fans. On account of this weak
ening In the pitching staff. Manager Hamb
Un has found It necessary to cancel sev
eral games. To fill up the hole, Haarmann,
an Omaha lad, haa been tried out In the
box and bids fair to make a coming
pitcher.

GARRELS A RIVAL OF SHERIDAN
Mlchleran Man Is Attracting Great At
tention as All-Ronnd Athlete.
NEW YORK, May 9.-No figure In the
world of athletics is attracting more atten
tion than that of John G. Garrels, the great
all-around athleto of the t'nlverslty of
Michigan. Many times the athlete experts
have racked their brains trying to figure
out whether or not Garrels Is a greater all
around man than Martin Sheridan, the hero
of Athens. Now all agree that In the In
dividual events Garrels has better marks
than the local cop, but to go through the
ten events In two hours and Stand up under
the atraln as Sheridan does that's another
matter. If neither Garrels nor Sheridan
disappoints the populace of Pittsburg on
June 20 the long discussed question will be
decided In the City of Smoke on that day,
when they meet In a specially arranged
all-around match.
The 15,000 who saw the Pennsy relay rares
were sorely disappointed when Garrels did
not put In an appearance, for it had bean
widely advertlaed that the Michigan won
der would compete In the hurdles, shot
and discus events Reports were tent out
to the effect that Garrels had left, his
Job as as member of the bureau of Inspec
tion for the Harrlman lines and had gone
back to Ann Arbor to train under Keens
Fltspatrlck. As this move took place only
a few weeks ago, likely enough Garrels did
not care to delve Into red-hot competition
so soon after the start of his training diet.
One thing certain the American Olympic
team for the London games will not be
complete- without John Garrels. He can
plaoe In the shot put, discus throw, high
hurdles and possibly In the 400-meter low
hurdles. Garrels has never 'run In the 400
meter low hurdles, but there Is every rea
son to believe he would make a champion
at It. In-tho regulation "220" hurdles the
westerner Is the fastest man In the coun
try, save possibly Harry Hlllman, and, ai
he ran some fine quarter miles as a school
boy, Garrels ought to be able to run close
to the record In the long hurdle race. In
the other events the Wolverine's records
speak for themselves. He broke the discus
mark once, but lost It on a technicality.
At 'the Intercollegiate games last spring
Garrels raced over the high hurdles In
0:Vb. tying the record, but, like Shaw of
Dartmouth, was helped a bit by a breaxe at
his back. Garrels Is In the front rank of
shot putters, too. When. In tip-top condi
tion he hurls the Iron ball out to the forty-six-foot
mark. Performances of this grade
are valuable assets to any team, and Gar
rels In any kind of condition will be a tower
of strength In the Yankee attack at Lon
don. '
Every true American Is hoping that Gar
rels will come out and train hard for the
Olymplo team. With Garrels and Sheridan
shoulder to ahoulder In tho London meet
the Stara and Stripes will flutter ' In . the
breexe when the victory bugle sounds even
oftener than they did a"t Athens two years
ago. Sheridan himself is more than anx
ious to see the great western athlete among
the Olympian voyagers. "He's the greatest
all-around athlete In our country that'a
what I think of him," said Sheridan.

HOT POLITICS IN ATHLETICS
.
Greek Letter Men Attack Kleclon
rian and Condemn Candidates.
LINCOLN. Neb., May 9. (Special Tele
gram.) The campaign for the election
of student members of the University of
Nebraska Athletic board came to a elo.e
tonight. The election will be held Mon
day. The fraternity men, a majority of whom
have oppoaed the new method of election,
held several meetings thla week In an
attempt to discredit the new election plan
and arrange for the defeat . of the three
fraternity men who are running for elec
tion. Late this afternoon delegates from
the e'.even fraternities' held a meeting to
adopt .resolutions', making public the at
titude of the Greek letter societies. A
resolution reprimanding the men who
promoted the new election plan as self
seeking politicians and pledging support
to the plan wv adopted by seven of the
eleven fraternities. The four dissenting
delegates adopted a report pledging their
support to the new election plan, but not
condemning the action of the fraternity
men who secured the change In method
of election. The new method of election
allows all male students to vote without
paying a registration fee and takes con
trol of theelectlotj out of the hand, of
the "frats."
The men whose action was condemned
by the majority of Greek letter men ar
C. J. Johnson, II. Craig, C. Alden, E. Rut
ledge, J. C. Knode, A. Jorgenson, R. King
and A. Young. Five of these men are
members of fraternities and are accused
of having endorsed a new election method
for advancing their own political inter
ests. There are eleven candidates for the ath
letic board. Three of them, B. Cherrlug
ton, C. E. Elliott and Sid Collins, are fra
ternlty men. Against cneae men, it Is
said, the greater part of the "frst" vote
will be caat. The other candidates for
the board are H. B. Harvey, S T. Furn,

Bowlers Vie with Each Other
to Famish Healthy
Emcrclse.

to give the Omaha Field club e,n Ideal day
for the formal opening of that club for the

slow to take advantage of the time and
place to put In a few pleasant hours. The

fine shape, so that the occasion was en
Joyed by all who are lucky enough to
belong to thst splendid and populsr club.
The afternoon was spent generally by
the members at athletic sports, nearly 150
playing at golf, a large contingent either
playing ball or watching the game, many
more playing tennis and some playing. with
the ninepins.
Golf Instructor Watson has been a great
help to the golf committee and haa the
greens In fine shape. The players were
kept off the greens during the rainy season
and forced to play to one side, so that
they were In as good shape as possible for
the opening day. The changes which have
been wrought In the course met with the
hearty approval of the golfers and theKe
changes will be more noticeable when tt
comes to matches, as the players will be In
sight of the club bouse on the last few
holes Instead of coming from over the hill
from the new forty. Only the numbers of
the greens were changed, no changes being
made In the playing course.
Tennis Men Bsiy.
The tennis courts have been plowed up
and practically a new surface added, so
that they to are in fine shape. More tennis
men han ever have signified their Intention
of playing at the court games this summer
and a lively time on the courts is looked
for, .
A table de'hote dinner was served to
nearly 300 members and the evening was
spent in dancing. ' '

RED EAR OF CORN FOR HIM
Hard Luck of Gambler Who Fell

GOOD FORTUNE IN DISGUISE
Old-Tlmer In the West Relates
an Interesting; Experience In
Which Poker Plays Its
Hand.
They were telling stories at a Douglas
street glassoHum the other night.
"Got Into a poker game onca on ene of
the San Joaquin river boats running be
tween San Francisco and Stockton," said
a man who's seen much of the world, "and
it took me quite a long time to get rlext
that they were breaking If off In me. I'd
never seen any of the four before, but
when they asked me In for a four bit
limit game, why I said to myself I might
ss well drop my twenty-nine bones that
way as any other.
"Didn't have any chips, but one of the
four he said he followed the country fairs
with trotting horses had a couple of great
big, prise ears of corn In his bag that he'd
picked up at one of the fairs, and so we
shucked those ears and played with grains
of corn. Big, yaller grains they were.
Hard to handle and I found mine hard to
keep.
"Every time I got hold of anything, they
had mo topped, and at the end of an hour
or so I was nursing five or six of those
yellow grains, each representing two bits,
like a man up near the north pole might
nurse the last few of a box of matches.
And I'd tumbled to It that one of the
bunch was dealing from the bottom, and of
course that put me hep to it that they
were all playing together.
"Well, when I got down to my last five
or six corn grains I had an Idea. I'd
watched 'em load the boat at Stockton that
afternoon, and I'd seen 'em hoist in a
hundred or so bags of corn. One of the
bags of corn had busted In being hoisted
in, and I'd seen that it was yaller corn
allrlght enough.
No More Money,
"Well, as I say, when I got down to my
last few grains of corn I had this idea.
You see I couldn't wait until I went poil
tlvely broke on the co-n I'd bought from
the banker that had the two ears because
I didn't have any more money to buy a new
stsck, and' If I'd gone out leaving no corn
chips behind at all and had set In again
with grains of corn why of course they'd
sure have got hep to me aa having copped
some corn somewhere.
"So with those five or six beans re
maining, I excused myself from the gams
for a minute, and went out-. Went right
down to the deck where I knew the corn
was, '
"It was pretty dark down there and no
body around. I found the neaped up bags
of corn all right and I got out my pocket
knife and Jabbed a hole In one of the burlap
baga and pulled out an ear of corn. I
ahucked the ear there In the darkness and
put about a hundred of the grains In my
pocket. They were worth two bits apiece
to me, and It looked pretty soft.
"Then I hustled back, and rejoined the
game. Didn't have any luck with the five
or six remaining yellow grains that I'd left
on the table, and so when It cam my ante
I jUBt reached furtively Into my pocket and
shoved in one of the grains of corn that I'd
copped down below.
Hen to My Bad FIs.
"I was hep to the mess I was in almost
as soon as I'd shoved the grain of corn to
the center, but It was too late then. They'd
all noticed It.
"It was a red grain of corn.
"They called my attention to it.
' 'We're playing with yaller ears, you
know, hombrey,' they all said to roe.
"I told 'em I knew It, and I got right
out of the game. They'd have knifed me,
of course, if they'd been sure erxmgh men,
but they were just skinners and so I pulled
out of the game then and there without
any bother,
"But there's a million to one chance for
you and me losing out on It. There must
have been about a million ears of corn In
those bags down on that deck, and I'd
blundered upon the only red ear in the hull
darned layout. I guess maybe Jonahdno
wasn't trailing me around thst time or
nothln'."
"Got a pur.k dose out In Seattle once."
said a sheet writer. "I was on the baxaai
ao bad that time that the eats looked as
unreal as circus posters to me.
"I plugged and macrd around, but live
ones were hard to spring. Finally, down
at the depot I nailed a guy I'd known back
here. He was Just about to hop a tralr.
for New York a hen 1 lapelled him. Told
him I Just nachully had to eat and that he
waa It.
"Well, be was one of these Jamwads
that figured maybe I wanted the coin for
rum and so he said he'd stake mu to a
meal ticket. There waa a little Chink

Touring with the Six
The real delight of touring lies in a car of perfect control. Creep
ing on the high gear through picturesque spots taking steep hills on
thehigh gear accelerating inBtantly in an .emergency doing away
wit II the worrlment of gear changing ever present in a four-cylinder
car. These contribute to the fullest enjoyment of a tour. And the only
car capable of this control is a six-cylinder car and the most highly
developed six-cylinder cars are
Stcvcns-Duryca Sixes
The Stevena-Durya Company early realized that ultimate auto
mobile perfection lay in tbe six-cylinder engine and the design of the
Btevena-Duryea sixes was being worked out a year before the first car
was built in 1905.
The application of the famous Steivens-Duryea Unit Power Plant,
supported on three points to the slx-cy)inder car, made possible a car
of unvarying alignment, the rocker or third point of suspension absorb
ing all road strain, shock and Jar. Without perfect alignment no six
cylinder engine will ever give satisfaction. The Stevens-Duryea Sixes
are a known quantity and not an experiment.

Mrest Gree Card.
That was the nicest green card, with
places marked for the restaurant cashier s
punch that ever I saw in my Hftf. He
slipped me the green meal ticket and made
his getaway on the train, and I started to
cut across the street to have the first
punch cut In that meal ticket. Never was
so hungry in my life before or elnce, and
I was fighting myself, holding tho ticket
out at arm's length as I crossed the street,
ss to whether I'd begVn on pork chops or
ham and eggs.
"Well, I'd Just reached the curb lead
ing over to the restaurant on which I had
the green meal ticket, when a little flicker
of wind sailed around the corner and flut
tered the ticket out of my hand. It
dropped on the stone flagging right tn
front of the restaurant
"I was hotfooting over to pick It up,
when a big Swede lumberjack, wearing
hob-nailed brogana, darted around the cor
ner. He had a glased grip In his hand
and was hustling to catch a local for a
lumber ramp.
"I was Just bending over to grab my
green meal ticket, when down came the
lieel of one of that Scandlhoollhan's hob
nulled shoes on my new, unused meal
ticket and with his hobnails he punched
out each and every one of those ineam

"Gee. that was a rum deal!" commented
one of the listeners.
"Uke biases It was," said the sheet
writer. "I walked down the street cufcaln'.
but three minutes later that restaurant
was blown up by Highbinders' dynamite.
and If I'd been In there, why "
They decided that It waa the buy of the
man who'd found the red ear of corn.

One of the watches discovered at the

Williams was operating a Jobbing house In
Chicago, handling exclusive the Waltham
