Then there's the chap who goes out to the :'ine absolutely certain the home team Is tolng to win, eager to bet all the money he nns or can oorrow ana Keeps up a running Pie of Information on all the players and I the fine arts of the game as he goes out in the park In the street car. This follow may be found at Vinton street park very luy. He perches himself on one of the j I randtand aeata back of the home p. ate r.ifl yaps from the time the gong sounds until the last play la made. He umpires the nme and roasts the man employed for Ihnt purpose if he attempts to make a de- 1lon on his own honk. Aa long as the immA lnm ( lnnlnff hn vlts for the home team and Jeers the visitors. "Oh, .ou rube," "Go back to your old town," lind a lot of 'other devil he hurla at the Visitors. But suddenly the tide turna and t.ie visitors take the lead. Then he cuts I'Misa on the home players. The pitcher Mila to atop a ball on his meat hand that going at a rate of speed so fast he can acarcely see It. "Dub," "Take him out," "Throw the game away," and a running stream of such nonsense flows out from this upper seat in the standa behind the ratcher. Phis Insane man turns all hi id miration upon the -enemy he roasted but , i few minutes before, applauds everything ny of the visitors do and demands that ,.ery visitor who steps to the plate knock t'lie ball over the fence and "show up this t ang of dubs." In short, he acts like a f !ck bear, or a peevish child or a sore I caded man who has bet a dollar or two n the game. Another apeclea of the fan 1 4 th wise boy who Is unable to ret to the lmo except on Sunday. He seats himself -nide you and anticipates every play. He ves you a line on every man, his strong ints and weak ones; he tells you Jubt hat to expect from this one or that that you have eeen play every day In the week. And there's the fan who never goes to a Kama because he knowa the home team will lose. He site curled up behind the stove in the winter and equate In front of some downtown score board In the sum mer, handing out wlae talk to the simple Simons, condescending now and then to speak briefly of the days when he was a star on the greatest team that ever played ball. Yet every one of these creatures Is craxy over base ball; he eata It, annus u, lives It. And why not? What else have you, you esthetlo knocker, that will grip the Interest of aa many people and as many different classes of people and hold At with the aame tenacloua power that base flail holds the American peopleT The sale of Bill Belden during the week completed President Rourke'a weeding-out process that began with the beginning of the season Belden went, when Pendry, not up to the requirements of third base, showed he could cover center. Belden once promised much, but hla chief fault, that of Indifference, was too great to be overcomo by hia virtues. He was never a strong batter, nor a star fielder, but he was fast on hla feet and could get a ball away from him In a hurry. In fact, he had enough to hjm to make a first claaa ball player, if tnly he would take his work seriously and apply himself to 1L But he wouldn't do this. Ball playing ia a serious business and the man who falls to see this will fall in evitably to- become much of a ball player. The hup-haxard habit has no part In the scheme of a great game like this and It paya big for a young man entering 'the business to discover this point at the out set. Omaha has sent out some fast men, but probably never contributed to the . big leagues a player who has surpassed the record Austin , will yet achieve. Already Austin Is referred to by the big league managers and papers aa a star, lie la doing yieclsely what he and hia friends knew h would do making good. "If they will only give me a chance to play I will make KiKid." wrote Jimmy, to 1'a Rourke In a letter some weeka ago. He waa not boast ing vainly. Now they are fighting to settle the question. "Who discovered Austin?" Joe Vila atepa In as arbiter and says It was none other than President Farrelt of the Highlanders himself. And then he re fers to the discovery. th "n1 ot the year, but "the find of the age." iVnver is happy. It's team Is losing. If it uasnt for that perennial habit of Knocking and that yellow streak as wide as the foul lines out there, perhaps the team could do belter. One of those yel low hammers calling himself "Rich" in big, black type lays Denver's defeat In Omaha to the ennui of this city. That'a good, coming from a town that derives its aus lenance from the pockets of the alck who are forced to go there. But ennui or not, we have those four atraighta neatly tucked away and that's what we were after.

NEW YORK, tay 29. Twelve stake races will be closed June 1 by the Ken tucky Trotting Horse Breeding association for Its ten-day meet at Lexington Octjber t to 13. New features, events at a mile and one-half of the handicap class for trotters and pacers, have been put on and each will be of $5,000. They will be known aa the October prise and the Blue Grass. Conditions will not be onerous. The en trance fee Is (175, payable In three Install ments of 325 each and 100 before the start. First payment Is June 1, the next July 16 and the third on September 1. The handi cap will be announced before the starting fee of $100 comes due, giving owners every chance. The money dlvlxlon In the handicaps will be also alike, namely, $3,000 to winner, $1,000 to second, $750 to third and $250 to fourth, with no deduction from winners. The other stakes of the meeting are the Translyvania, $5,000; Tennessee, $3.0f; Mc Dowell, $3,000; Walnut Hill, farm cup. $3,000; Btoll Johnston, West Kentucky, Isling ton and Wilson. $2,000 each. In addition to these there will be the $21,000 Kentucky Futurity, the pacing Futurity, $3,000. and the 2-year-old Futurity, $5,000. There will be from sixteen to twenty class races, with purses of $1,000 or more, to he announced later. All of the races, with the exception of the Kentucky and the Lexington, are best three In five heats. The handicapping will be somewhat like the plan of Ileadvllle last year, with the exception of lessening the distance pen alty as the clauses grow faster. The merit and Justice of this system were fully dem onstrated In the Boston event, while since then all well posted horsemen have ad vocated It. Foat Horses at Scratch. In the racing event, which will be known as the Blue Grass handicap, entries with a record of 2:10 or slower will be the scratch horses at the mile and a half, and others will be penalized as follows: Dist., Pen., Ft.

Final handicap ping will be done according to the records of public showing, or authenticated trials of each entry. Horacs at the scratch will, trot a distance of 7,920 feet and others with marks of from 2.14 to 2:02 will be penalized as follows: Dist., Pen., Mark. Ft. Ft. Ft. Mark. Ft.

It Is generally con ceded that the heavier distance penalty im posed upon slower claasea In favor of faster starters will result lu a fairer con test. TEIJNIS DETAILS ARE IN THE ALU Cnn't Decide Where ta Play Prelim inary Matches. NEW YORK, May ZS.-England's NaUonal Lawn Tennis association and the American governing body have tx.en endeavoring to settle details as to the Davis International Challenge Cup matches during the last month. The controversy as to whether the preliminary England against I'nited IStatcs matchea of the ties will be played In Eng land at Wimbledon, near London; In this country, or In Australia, seems destined to be arranged during the coming week. Sec retary George It. New burn of London haa been In correspondence with Dr. James Dwlght, emphasizing the fact that England sent M. J. G. Ritchie and John Q. Parke to this country last year, and that this year it is the turn of the Americans to visit England. It Is the wlbh of the Engllnhmen to play the international ties Immediately follow ing the all-England championships on the courts at AVimbledon, and this meeting bo gins Morfday, June 21. Should the Amer icans accede to this proportion team the matches would be played about the first of July. As an American team la a long way from r.elng got together, for such a team would necesMarlly have to sail in a few weeks. It Is evident that the American officials do not look with favor upon tn Invasion of the Engllnh courts. Y0U3JQ ATHLETES USEJQ DOPE Handlers Pnt Yontas to Severe Tests br I er ef stimulants. f.'BW YORK, May 29 One of the banes ml the Marathcn craae that la aweeplng tne country from end to end Is the use of "dope" by many young alleged Marathon runners. Thla custom at present la all too strong In the amateur ranks. Youngsters who are fit to run ten miles at the outside start In the Marathons, and at about fif teen miles they lag and are urged along mercilessly by their handlers. At twenty miles out come the pillbox, and the dop ing begins. The doping Is not prevalent among the hardy fend seasoned Marathoners who get the prizes. It la the youngsters who, under normal have no chance to finish, who sevik to stimulate themselves over the line. The clubs that promote Marathons can In no way be blamed for this condition of affairs. Neither Is there any way to seek out the culprits as a class, but any runner caught "doping" should be suspended for nfo hy the AmAi-tcan Athi-n.- uolon. LINCOLN. May 29. (Special.) Followers I of the Nebraska track team who have been "doping" out the chances of the respective teams of schools for winning places in the Missouri, valley conference meet at Des Moines Saturday, June 6. have come to the conclusion that the Cornhtiker squad has an excellent show of taking first place In the big game. Ames Is put In second place, with Kansas third, and Grlnnell fourth. Fifth place Is thought to rest between Missouri and Iowa. The claims of the Cornhuskers are based on the showing of the men In the dual meet this spring, the records In the Kansas-Nebraska games last week furnishing particular substance for their predictions. The "dope" Is made so strong as to give Nebraska six firsts. These are in the ham mer throw, mile relay race, 440-yard dash, half-mile run, two-mile run and the 220 yard hurdles. Orlnnell Is given the 100 yard dash and the high Jump. Kansas Is conceded the 220-yard dash and the mile run. To Ames the shot put and broitd Jump are awarded. The low hurdles are placed to the credit of Mornlngslde. Iowa Is credited with the discus throw. The pole vgult Is not awarded, but each (Nebracka and Kansas) are thought to have good prospects of winning it. With five or six first places, each count ing five points, the Cornhuskers ought to be able to gamer enough seconds and thirds to make their total points higher than those of any other contender for the championship of the valley. Ames, al though It should chance to get only two firsts, has a well balanced team and should come up strong for the smaller points. If Kansas gets the firsts In the 220-yard dash and the mile run, it Is certain to creep up In the total number of points until it has twenty or more. It Is pretty certain to secure places in the pole vault, high Jump, broad Jump and shot put. Grinnell's score Is not likely to be high, the two firsts and one or two seconds being all it probably will get. La rarest Meet In Valley. About 175 athletes from various colleg?s and universities In the Missouri valley will be entered In this meet. The contest will be the largest Intercollegiate meet ever held In the valley. Until this 6prlng only the schools composing the Missouri valley con ference were permitted to enter teams, but at the January meet the representa tives of the"Blg Peven" decided to invite several outside achools, so that the total number of colleges eligible to compete In these gamea now includes fifteen or six teen. Some of the schools Invited fo take part In the meet will not be represented this spring. There will be In all. though, over ten different competing Institution. The list Includes Ames, Iowa, Drake, Mis souri, Washington. Kancas, Nebraska, Mornlngslde, Highland Park and Grlnnell. Competition In several of the events of the meet promises to be exceedingly keen. In. some of them, where three or four schools all have particularly strong men entered, Missouri valley records are likely to fall. In the 100-yard dash a bunch of the fastest century men In the west will be brought together. This race looks as though It should be won by Turner of Grinuell, a ten-second man. He has been running in fine form this spring and should be In tip-top condition at Des Moines. As rival contenders Turner will have Haddock, Kansas; Douglas, Missouri; Packer, Ames; Kohl, Iowa, and Wlldman, Nebraska. These men have all been run ning the distance In 0:10Vi.

State leriilat Ill IhNa . , i " ... t , ft Ames Is declared by the Iowa state college rooters to be Turner's equal, but the Dea Moines race probably will prove otherwise. Burke of Nebraska, with his record of 0 bl, made In the Nebraska-Kansas meet, stands to rapture first In the 440-yarJ dash. With a fast track he ought to beat his record mark. Flannlgan, Grlnnell; Havens, Drake, and Kraft, Ames, will have to be reckoned with In this race. Havens Is an especially strong runner for the quar ter and should push either Burke or Flan nlgan In a close race to the tape. A mHeraon a Far tor. Another Cornhusker whose work in the Nebraska-Kansas meet points htm out as a promising factor for the conference meet Is Amberson. He won the half mile run In the fast time of 2.021. and should be In shape to repeat his performance next week against a fast field at Ies Moines. Davis of Ames Is also thought to stand a good show of getting a place In this event. Iowa figures on Latham to be in condition for this meet. Tipton of Mis souri will be In this race, but hardly can expect to get a place. Shannon of Ames Is a runner who Is likely to surprise his opponents In this run. A victory In the mile run Is conceded to Clarke of Kansas since his race In the meet against Nebraska. He did not take first In the mile here, for he wished to al low his running mate, Cooley, to win. He led until near the finish, when he dropped back and permitted Copley to go ahead of him. The time for first was 4:35, and would have been lower than that had Clarke not stopped to permit Cooley to pass him. Amberson, Nebraska, ought to make good time If he la entered In this run. His work in the half mile last Satur day was of such a character aa to encour age the local rooters to believe he could crowd the winners In a mile run. Johnson, Missouri, and Shannon, Ames, will be faat men in thla race. If Gable of Nebraska does not win first In the two-mile run, the Cornhuskers will be groatly disappointed. Just now they are banking on him to take thla run In record time. He lowered the Cornhusker record In the meet with Kansas, his time being 10:23. This Is the fastest mile that has been run In the valley this Beason. Kraft of Ames and Steele, Missouri, should follow Gable in this run. Steele's time In the Kansas meet was extremely slow, being 12:0644 but he Is capable of doing much better. Pope, Bates, Launders, Glack, Graham and Munson are the best men on the fresh men team. Bates Is a leader In the long distance runs. In the Wesleyan meet he won both the half-mile and the mile. Graham Is certain to take first place in the pole vault, 'and stands an excellent show of winning the high Jump. Pope won , the 440-yard daph arrainst Wesleyan In OiSbVi and should get this race at Doane. Lan ders and Flack are good for places In the hurdles race. Flack ought to get a second In these, while Landers stands a chance of winning first In the high sticks. In the broad Jump Munson Is regarded as a win ner." He won this event In the Weeleyan games with a Jump of 20 feet 7, Inchea. Manager Eager has scheduled another game for the Cornhusker base ball team. It will be played Friday afternoon at Ash land, where the university cadets will be encamped next week. The opposing team will be composed of players from a regi ment of United States regulars who also will be encamped near the same city. Manager Eager Is trying to arrange an excu-slon to Ashland for that day In order to take down a crowd of unlveralty co-eds to visit the cadenta and witness the ball game. -JDapton Automobile 1814-10 Farnam Street. COLD PEA SOUP AJTD COFFEE Irew Stalled for Tea Days wltk Nothing to Drink hat Hasty Water Tnken from the Itedtator. TORREON. Mexico, May 27. No pre vious mud bucking, sand wading or stump buckling tests oan compare with the re cent trial of the little Chalmers-Detroit car In the sands of old Mexleb. This car has already covered 33.000 miles In endur ance runs. The party of the Pathfinders who are blazing the way for the "Flag to Flag" contest for the Wahlgreen trophy have now made 1,986 miles of the way from Denver to the City of Mexico. When the explorers reached Torreon can they had covered 436 miles over the Mexican bonier. They are now making the longest and hardest lap of the trip over 1,300 miles of Mexican desert. They stopped over here one day to employ guides for the remainder of the Journey. The way Into TA Paso was practically easy going, with the exception of one day's hard driving. Since then their path has not been strewn with roses and Its significance to the members of the party as a pleasure trip has paled on the vista of the sandy Mexl-in desert. The plucky little car fought through driving sand storms, often sinking to the hubs. The men repeatedly had to get out of the ear to cut sage brush from the roads which had never been traversed by an automo bile. The trip from Denver to El Paso had many pleasant features. Shooting was fine and men dropped prairie game from the car seats. The scenery was an added pleasure as the mountain tops were always visible. The crew left Denver with flying banners and with the good word of the governor of the state and the populace. The course was over level plains, which the car covered at a twenty-mile clip. Walked Forty-fix Miles. The thrilling experiences of the trip be gan after the car left El Paso. One hun dred and twelve miles out the car stuck hopelessly In the desert sands and the block and tackle, which the car carried for emergency purposes, was unable to pull the car out. Being forty-six miles from the railroad it was necessary for them to camp there and two of the men walked back to the railroad a distance of over forty-six miles to catch a Mexican Central train into El Paso. This arduous feat was accomplished by W. E. McCarton of Denver and James Howard, a guide from El Paso. Wllllntn Knlpper and F. Ed Spooner, whom they left with the car, were In even worse straits than those who hnd gone for assistance. Tb'- llveri two davs on cold pea soup and Coffee made from rusty water from the radiator. Every other supply was gone. The party reached here after making Its' record run 156 miles in thirteen hours. During the last l."6 miles they were repeat edly lost ,as the trail was indistinct. The little car, carrying the flags of two countries and with its bedraggled occu pants, was a source of much curiosity and comment among the native Mexicans. A large percent of these had never before seen an automobile. IVesldeiit Diaz is making plana to par ticipate In the welcome of the City bf Mex ico to the pathfinders. The message from Governor Shafroth of Colorado to the Mex ican people will be received with ceremony. A number of social affairs also have been arranged and they wlll.be the guests of the city while there. Bee Want Ads stimulate trade moves. coming year.
