shlp Alao to Be Played Over
Three Net, Latter Event
la Auarwst. j
Tennis men will have a busy season at
the Omaha Field club this year, and the
seven splendid clay courts will be kept
busy all summer. The great Interest shown
In the game by the old and new players
alike has caused the tennis committee of
the club to prepare for a large number of
events.
The women's tourney Is the first sched
uled event. A woman's championship
tournament will be held during the week
of June 31 for the cup which Miss Faith
Potter won last year. The cup must be
won twice to secure ownership.
Arthur Stori has given a beautiful
trophy cup, for which the men will
play a handicap tournament. This,
which Is for club members only.
will be competed for during June and July
and the winners during the two months
will play) off. It will be a handicap affair.
All tennis players of the city will be In
vited to take part in the city tennis tour
nament which will be held as usual at the
Field club, the date being about July 24.
As In the past the competition will be for
the champlonshlDof the city In both singles
and doubles.
The big tennis event of the summer in
the west will be the Middle rest tourna
ment, for which the Field cjub will act as
host This classlo has become a real fix
ture in the tennis of the country and play
ers will come from all over the country to
take part In the week's game on the city
courts famous for the way they have been
kept up. The committee is already work
ing up Interest among outside players and
present Indications are that the entry list
will be the largest in the history of the
eight years In which this tournament has
been In' existence.
After the mid-west tournament the dull
players will have a tournament of their
own to determine who is the best man at
the club. Club championships will be
awarded In both singles and doubles. This
event probably will be August 28.
HOODOO NUMBER IN THE RACE
Cars Leave New York for Seattle
Next Tuesday Morning;,
NEW YORK, May 29. From present In
dications a field of thirteen motor cars
will roll away from this city on June 1 on
the long run to Seattle for transcontinen
tal automobile racing honors. Announce
ment of the entries was made recently by
the eastern representatives of the contest.
the hoodoo number of nominations being
declared. The cars that will make metor
ng history In the long struggle are: Two
Fords, entered by the Cordlner Motor com'
pany; two Stearns, by Oscar Stolp and
Charles Watson; a Simplex, by the Sim
plex Automobile company; a Shawmut, by
the Shawmut Motor company; two Thorn
ases, by Ous Buse and E. R. Schmidt; a
Renault, by W. O. Houoh; a Franklin, by
S. S. Mapes; a Welch, by L, H. Perlman
and a Garford, by W. H. Owen.
The original entry list comprised four
teen cars, but the Isotta-Fraschlnl nomina
tton will be unavailable by June 1. C. M.
Hamilton of the local agency stated last
night that he will be unable to get an
Iratta ready by the time of the contest, as
his next delivery of machines will not be
ahlDsed from Milan until this week. M'
chlnea that may be nominated are a Zust,
another Simplex, two Matheeona. a Benz
and a White steamer. In event of the last
named car being listed it will be entered
by Charles Leathers of St. Louis.
When the fact is considered that the ma
chines wilf face a 4,000-mile trip that will
put every fiber of the modern automobile
to the teat the number of entries is needed
large. Of late the wiseacres have been Is
suing gloomy stories relative to the "on
test, asserting that only four cars would
be at the starting line on June 1. The pan
hostility of the Manufacturers' Contest
association toward the race has undoubt
edly affected the entry list to seme extent,
but Inasmuch as the nominations are well
known to the motor car world It appears
probable that the ocean-to-ocean race will
be crowned with success.

HUGHES OFFERS NO 0RJECTI0N
la Said to Be Satisfied wlth the foil,
dnrt of Racing.
NEW YORK, May 29. From a source of
authority it Is learned that Governor
Hughes is satisfied with the reports he has
received In regard to the conduct of racing
at Belmont park. It ia asserted at Albany
that the reports circulated that Assistant
Diatrict Attorney Elder had interviewed
Governor Hughes on the question of pro
cedure, when racing came under his Juris
diction, had no foundation, that the gov
ernor had not seen nor heard from the
assistant district attorney.
Those in close touch with Governor
Hughes are pronounced In expressing the
attitude of the governor regarding the out
come of the Anew-Hart bill. They say the
law Is there; that the courts have Inter
preted tt, and so long as the associations
and the public live up to the decisions of
the courts nt further action will be taken.
Any infraction of the law will be Imme
diately looked into. This seems to mean
that as the objectionable features of horse
racing have been ellmlted, the sport will
continue and presumably grow upon the
new foundation that Is now being built.
This is cheering news to those who ars
much concerned In the welfare of the turf,
and will do a great deal to bolster up the
weakened who are loaded up with fear and
trembling at the slightest rumor of pending
evil.
Certain matters the courts have decided
to be permissible on the courses. It Is to
be observed and to expose those who, for
selfish reasons, endanger the sport. Rac
ing has an opportunity to be built up again
so that It will be lasting. The help of
every one is needed to raise It to a stand
ard that will keep It from further attack,
either from the political battering ram or
the reform element

Omaha High
Wins Track Meet
from Lincoln
Events Closely Contested and Result
Not Certain Till the Last
Race is Finished.
The Omaha High school field and track
team won from Lincoln Saturday after
noon In the dual meet which was held at
the Omaha Rod and Gun club track In
East Omaha by the score of 65 to 67.
The relay race was the last on the card
and the boys from Lincoln, thought surely
they had It won and the meet along with
It. Before the rally the score stood:
Omaha High school, 60; Lincoln High
school, 67. The five points cf the relay
would decide the meet, and although Lin
coln had been showing the best In the
sprints the Omaha lads went forth and
won. Rowley, the second Omaha man in
the relay, practically won by the gallant
run he made against Sheldon. He started
twelve yards in the rear and finished a
yard In front Fraser then gained some
more on Funkhouser and gave Wood such
a lead that the fleet-footed Mann co.Jd
not overcome It.
Omaha was crippled by the loss o: ifc
Klnney, Thompson and Welrlck at the last
minute. These students were not allowed
to take part in the meet because they
are behind In their studies. Lincoln also
thad two men out on a matter of school
discipline and one because of sickness.
Funkhouser of Lincoln made the beat
Individual showing at the meet and won
twenty points for his school. He won
two firsts, three seconds and one third.
A large bevy of Omaha High school girls
were on hand to cheer the boys along and
the meet was well attended and the events
were run off fast. Summaries:

0'HARA IS A CLASSY FIELDER
He and Smith of Boston Born Under
the British Fla.
NEW YORK. May 29 Billy O'Hara o'i
th Giants Is one of two athletes now play-
Ing in the National league who were born
under the Union Jack of England, Harry
Smith, the Bostony catcher, being the other.
The dainty little center fielder Is not t
Briton, but a Canadian, Toronto being his
home.
In securing O'Hara Manager McOraw ob
tained quality and not quantity. Wlllianf
weighs only about 1M) pnundB, hut can hlf
a bsll remarkable hard, and Is the fastest
man on bases the New Tork club has haif
since the days when George Browne wart
at his best. O'Hara Is the classiest center;
fielder seen In a white uniform at the Po8J
grounds for many seasons.' Ha Judges (
fly ball quickly and accurately, and as
soon as the bat rings against the shore he
Is on the move if the hit goes In his di
rection. A fielder who thus gets Into position
quickly makes many catches appear easy,
whereas a fly chaser less skilled has to
make his sprint at the last moment, and
either; misses the ball or makes a hard
catch of It. O'Hara Is sure of himself, and
he can also make those fancy catches. His
one-handed capture of a short hit In the
Chicago series was the fanciest hit ol
fielding turned at the Polo grounds this
season.
O'Hara made an enviable record in thd
Eastern league last season, stealing fifty
three bases and hitting .22 in 143 gameC
He Is T.ot a "phenom" or anying of thai
sort, and his success Is due to hard worlt
Three years ago he waa a member of th
Toledo team In the American association, v
and was purchased hy Cleveland, but was
turned down by Manager Lajole the follow-,
ing spring. He Is a well educated, quiet
little fellow of clean habits and minds his
own buMnesM. Withal, he Is aggressive Ir)
a way, hut seldom runs afoul of the urn
pi rex.
O'Hara has a peculiar hatting position
and does not pull away from a ball, lit
hits many line drives. Jack Dunn, man
ager of the Baltimore team, declares tha'
O'Hara Is one of the moFt capable players
that ever worked for him, and Is positive
that the young man will be in the National
Vague for many yearn.
