RE8TDENT O'NEIti relerated the
nnounee ment at the opening of the
session that he would tolerate none
but decent work cn the part of
umplrei. and he called hta umpires
together, and Impressed on them the sig
nificance of thla announcement. There
fore there la reaaon to believe that Slata
Davla- day In the Western league are
numbered. The Weatern league and I
loyal supporters took the president at Ma
word and have corded him the moat
courteous consideration all aeaaon. The
coma In now for consideration, and belie to
thejr will be done unto aa they have done
toward the man vested with power and
authority to rectify a situation that la
menacing the best Interests of the league.
To argue here the merits of the Slata Davla
rase would be superfluous. It should be
tufflclent merely to recite the fact that
three tetma In the league, Lincoln, Dee
Moines and Omaha, have entered formal
protest agalnat him. The Western league
cannot afford to retain Davla. The caae
Is too broad and too deep to be argued
from the standpoint of a alngle team. Let
the larger Interests of the league and base
ball as a great national Institution be con
ildered. No team can endure and no league
can survive while an umpire of thla char
acter la In authority. By the nature of
the game It Is necessary to clothe umpires
ivlth Immense power; few men are vested
with more autocratlo authority. Therefore,
the most zealous care ahouk be exercised
In the choice of umpires and no man of
character unable to resist temptations such
a a come to many should be allowed to
hold the scalea of Justice In such a post
tlon. Thla policy pursued will wreck the
game that Is the logical sequence, but
fortunately, as we all know, that policy
wi:i never be pursued to thla extent.
The biz league have crossed the meridian
of the liKiS season, half their work Is over
And the races are still tight and exciting.
In the American league four teams, St
Louie, Detroit. Cleveland and Chicago, may
he counted as on even footing still for the
pennant, while Philadelphia Is by no means
out of the contender class. The National
league pennant probably will be won by the
Cubs; at leaat events of the last two
weeks have gone far toward the support
. af that theory. . Crippled beyond the record
of years, to the extent of being able to
?lay but four regulars In any game for a
week and seriously afflicted all season
the World' Champions have still main
talned first place and thai, too. In face
of th additional fact that Pittsburg, their
chief rival, la stronger than rt haa been
for several yeara and New York also Is
Jtrengthened. However, both these two
latter teams have a chance to win the flag.
Cincinnati, having made Its spurt, prob-
ably Is down and out of ft. The disap
pointment of the season Is the failure of
the Phillies to make good. It waa gen

Let every loyal fan who loves a clean
sport and fine sportsman, turn out Wed'
nesday to tha Oraham benefit game al
Vinton atreet park. Lincoln has generously
donated Its services with Omaha for
. game, the proceeds of which are to go to
" the benefit of the brilliant young Oraham,
whose Injury In the performance of his duty
Is keeping him out of the game thla season.
The park should be packed, and if the day
Is bright It will be. Omaha fans love the
Sgame and Graham too well to fall to selxe
such an opportunity. This day should be
made memorable In the baae ball history.
not only of Omaha, but of the -Western
league. Such patronage will go a long
way toward aiding George Oraham In hla
recovery and will shorten the distance be
tween this and that long-for-day when he
may be seen once more at second base,
contributing his vast share toward the
success of the Western league champions.
The judgment of the public and not that
of Mr. Farrell tr. the aelectlon of Elber
fleld aa Orlfflth'a successor has been vindi
cated. New Tork haa scarcely won a
game t!i;re the belligerent "Kid" took the
rein of manager. The continued fall of
the team cannot be laid entirely at Elher
fleld's door. for. while he Is no man to
be In charge of a team, the hospital list
has been piling up In proportion to the loss
of gamea since the managerlnl exchange
.was made. Many careful observers admit
that. If any one man la more responsible
than Orlff himself for the latter'a down
fall as 'a manager and the downfall of his
team, that man la Jimmy McAleer, who
persistently got the better of Clark In the
winter trades. It has been wisely said that
If McAleer could meet with the same suo-
cess on the diamond aa In the trade mart,
the Browns would never lose a pennant.
In the meantime, poor pld Highlanders.
Tennis haa again Jumped Into the lime
light of the summer sports. The women's
tournament juat completed waa most suc
cessful, both In the number of players en
' :ered and In the quality of tennis played.
The next tennla event on the tapla will be
the city tournament, which will open out
July in. Thla la an annual event at the
Field club, that club being aponser because
of ti e more numerous and better courts.
A call has been Issued to all the other
tennis clubs of Omaha to aend in the entry
list. The promoters of the city tourna
ment would like to have the entry list aa
large as possible and all cluba are Invited
to Join In making tha city tournament a
great success. The city tournament Is held
in advance of the Middle West tournament,
which Is an annual event at the Omaha
Field club courts. Tho city tourn&Bimil i
a great atlmulent for entries In the larger
tournament.
Prohibition of gambling has done much
to make base ball the clean and popular
game It is. Job-lot traffic of gamea be
tween a conscienceless umpire and a lot
of hard-up gamblers will certainly not be
tolerated In the Western league lonjj.
Each club owner and manager has a duty
In this connection. Every one haa the
power to prevent thla sort of thing and

AMERICAN TEAM WINS MATCH
International Shoot Secured by Men
from United States.
TEST COMES ON LONG RANGES
Weather Conditions Still I'af avorable,
bat Marksmen from Thla Aide
of the Water rrove
Their Mettle.
BISLET, July 11. Tho great Intenatlonal
team match, the most Important event or
the Olympic rifle contest, haa been won by
America, and the American marksmen
thus become the champions of the world.
The American aggregate score was 1.553;
thst of the Brlttlsh team. J,49. while the
Canadian team scored 2,439. ,
Starting with a lead at the end of tha
first range, the Americans never were dis
placed, and with the exception of the con
test at the 600-yard range, tney scorea
higher totals for each of the six distances
than the finest teams that Canada and all
Europe could put In the field.
In the Individual aggregate also the
Americans always were prominent, first
Lueshner and then Martin leading all the
world's crack riflemen. Many experts con
slder the outcome a victory not only for
the men, but for the rifles. They declare
that the short-barreled new Bprlngfleld
rifle proved Itaelf a far better arm than
the new short-barraled Lee-Enfield In use
In the British shoot.
The revolver team competition waa won
today by America, Belgium was second
and England third. The aggregate scores
are aa follows: America, 1,914; Belgium,
1.864; England, 1.816.
The weather this morning continued un
favorable for good acores, the day being
dull with a variable wind, the enemy of all
rifle men.
The Americans, however, at 800 yards In
creased their lead to It points, scoring 438,
thus bringing their aggregate acore for the
four distances up to 1.727. The English
team maintained second place by scoring
433. making an aggregate of 1.714. Canadian,
the third team on the list, made 434, but
the team lost so many points yeeterday
that their total for the four distances Is
only 1.878.
Norwegian Wins Medal.
The official announcement of the result
of the 800 metres Individual match, shot
yesterday, gives the gold medal to Helgerud
of Norway, who scored 904; the allver medal
to Lieutenant Semon of Ohio, with 886, and
the bronse medal to Bather of Norway,
with 879.
The protest made by Gorman, American,
against a mlsa with which he waa credited
In the Individual revolver contest has been
disallowed. The gold, silver and brorase
medala In thla oonteat were today officially
awarded respectively as follows: Van
Aebrock. Belgium, with 490; Storms, Bel
glum, with 487, and Axtell, America, with
480.
It is thought generally now that the
longer distances have been reached that
the team oonteat will resolve Itaelf Into a
battle between the Americans and the Eng.
llahmen. Both teams are shooting well
tha Americana particularly so. For a tlraa
the Canadians threatened to upset these
calculations. Four of them, at the start
today, made every ahot at bulla eye, but
three of this team broke down .with the
last ahot. and Sergeant Smith alone got the
highest possible. Three other Canadians,
Captain Crowe. Private Williams and Cor-
noral Mclnnes. scored 74 each, but . their
total waa spoiled by Sergeant Kerrs, who
got 7.
Americana In Best Form.
The shooting of the Americana waa bril
liant and evoked the greateet praise. None
of them made the hlgheat possible score
but tio fewer than five or six men ecored
78. while Eastman got 71. This splendid
showlna gave the Americana a total for
thla range of 436 out of a possible 4G0.
The visitors were greatly satisfied with
this score and more than ever before have
they become dangerous rivals In the eyes
of the British marksmen. The continental
competltore on the team work are now way
behind. Their aggregate up to the pres
ent are: Sweden, 1,907; France, 1,693; Nor
wav. 1.667: Greece. 1,439, and Denmark,
1.410.
The American team Increased Ita lead
still further at the 900-yard range, scor
ing 405 for thla distance, while England
made but 399 and Canada 3S6.
The aggregates now are: America, 2,122
England, 2.113; Canada, 2,072. The greatest
Interest Is being shown In the shooting of
then three teams and when they went
over to the SOO-yard range and the large
scoring boards used for the big events at
Blsley were raised aloft. It was seen that
the American board waa deeorated with
the east and the Stars and Stripes, done
In chalk.
Fallliisr OS on Long Rangres.
A large crowd surrounded the American
shooters. Many American women have
Journeyed down to Blsley to" cheer their
countrymen. Tne calm ana me commence
of the Americana is a matter of general
remark. CaDtain Casey of Delaware did
not do ao well at the 900-yard range, flrJsh
ng with 67. Winer, however, kept up hi
aood shooting and scored 73. The other
Individual totala were: Martin, 71; Luesh
ner and Eastman, 67; Benedict, 61. The
total for the range. 406, was a pretty serlou
falling off. The lapse was general among
all the teams, however, and less marked
In the' case ot the American than any
other. Lueshner's low score at thla range
lost him the distinction of getting the best
Individual scores, which he had held
throughout the contest. He waa aucceeded
however, by another American, Martin,
whose aggregate of 361 put him one point
in front ot the Canadian. Sergeant Smith.
The aggregate of the remaining teams a
the end of this range were: France, 1,966
Sweden, 1,944; Norway, 1.896; Greece, 1,721
and Denmark. 1.69.

Jawbone Betting; Pnna Oat There
It Do Eluwktrt,
NEW TORK, July 11. Memory betting,
aa conducted at the race tracks under th
new conditions. Is all right when men wh
make th bets do not lose their memories
between the time of betting and the tin)
to aettle. Aa a matter of fact, It 1 more
convenient than the old way, where the
money wa passed at the tint of making
th wager; but when there are so many
men who cannot remember their wagers
over night that Is. their losing wagers it
la rather hard on the memory brokers.
"Cad" Dogget. Blm Delmel and Johnnv
Walters have not been doing sny bettln
since the Hart-Agnew law went Into effect
but they knew It was coming, and tried It
out In th club-hous a few days bfcr
It was passed Aa a consequence, they
are out of pocket about 118.000. all due by
on man. and to aav hi life h can't re

a coup) of winning days and waa there
to receive hi money th next morning
' Then urn failed to ues them correctly
nd before he knew It was on the tab for J
1 ,. Jut at that time he had a lapse
of memory. He not only forgot that he
bgd made wagers, but for the life If hirr.
could not remember the location of the
race track.
Dorset and a couple of his clerks went
on a still hunt, with the idea or rrrehlng
the gentleman's memory, hut could not
locate him. Dogget, In discussing the
matter, exhibited some chagrin over the
gentleman's loss of memory. "It wouldn't
lave been so bad," he said, "h.id the man
really gone overboard, and did not have
the money with which to make good. But.
according to hla own statement, he has
several millions salted away, and It seems
to me he would not miss a paltry few
thousands.
"At least he says he has the million.
The papers have been full of stories of
his enormous winnings on the stock mar
ket during the past year and a half, and
on even printed the fact that he had paid
a million to one of the big Insurance com
panies for an annuity. "Now. If he can
pay a million for an annuity be surely
can pay the few dollars he owes on the
track. Of course If his memory Is so poor
that he has forgotten all about It he never
will face the cashier, and If that la the
case the only thing to do Is to treat him
aa you would any other wclcher. That la
one reason why I am retiring from racing.
don't like the memory game when such
men are around, and for the present, at
least, I will take my end of It as a simple
looker on."
JAP TEAM LOOKS FOR GAMES HERE

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. July 11 Mike
Fisher Is being deluged with letters from
Japanese who are anxious to make the trip
with All-American stars to Japan next fall.
One letter In particular, written by Toian
T. Masko of St. Louis, Mo., who engineered
the tour of the Jap team In the east last
spring called the Mlkados, will aerve to
show how the little brown men are taking
to the base ball Invasion. Masko Is one
of the first ball players that Apan ever
turned out and he haa been a fan ever
since, acting as manager, umpire and pro
moter of base ball contests here, as well
s In the Orient. He haa written to Fisher
asking for the position of Interpreter and
umpire. He also enclosed a piece of sta
tionery used by th Mikado club, which Is
rich, as well as original, Here It Is:
'Mikado's Japanese base ball team was
organised In Japan during 1903 by Tosan T.
Masko. Every Japanese player If full blood
Japanese. Not one of them can speak
English. They do all their conversing and
coaching In Japanese, and It la certainly
the most Japanesy Japanese you ever lis
tened to. There are, In Japan, 265 middle
schools and thirty-five universities at
which base ball Is played. Mikado's team
Is composed of the pick of the playera from
these Institution, and they have crossed
the 4,000 miles of Pacific ocean In order to

GRAND CIRCUIT FALLS TO PIECES
Famons Tracks Abandon Meet lnn n.1
Sport I at Low Ebb.
NEW YORK. July 11. When the grand
circuit stewards met In New York last
January they assigned dates to Detroit,
Cleveland, Buffalo, Poughkeepsie, Read-
vllle. Providence, Hartford, Syracuse and
Columbus in the order named. They had
no assurance that Cleveland, Providence or
Hartford would give any meeting, and
knew that even if they did there would be
no betting at either, nor Syracuse and Read-
vllle. The Kalamazoo and Baltimore asso
ciation had representatlvea on hand pre
pared to qualify for membership In the
grand circuit, and to hang up suitable
purses and stakes and guarantee betting.
These applications were declined. Cleve
land dropped early and then Kalamazoo
was In demsnd to fill In that gap. which
they have done. Now It looks aa If Buffalo
would drop out. and If not. there will be no
speculating at either that meeting or the
one at Poughkeepsie. while the same con
dition of affairs will prevail at Hartford,
Syracuse and iReadvllle.
Providence has dropped out, ao that in
truth the only live grand circuit meetings
of the year will be those at Detroit. Kala
mazoo and Columbus, three Ini number, as
compared with a dozen meetings a few
years ago. Th men having the best inter
est of the trotting sport at heart will find
a difficult task facing them the coming
winter. If they wish to organize a circuit
worthy of the name- which for thirty years
marked the greatest of all racing circuits,
and to which can be traced practically all
of tha brilliant performance In trotting
turf history.
Th Windsor, Ont., association Intended
giving a big meeting the week of July 20.
preceding the opening of the grand circuit
at Detroit. The New York betting law re
sulted in the trsnsfer of the four-week
running meeting to be held at Kenllworth
track to Windsor, which opened there June
T7. and will be continued to July 26. This
made it necessary to declare off the Wind
sor meeting, but now tha?' Buffalo may
not glv its grand circuit meeting, a big
trotting meet will toe held at Windsor the
samo week to fill In the gap. This would
result In rearranging the circuit so that,
opening at Detroit the week ot July 27, the
grand circuit flyers would go to Kalamazoo,
then to Wlndaor and finally to Poughkeepsie.
