OMAHA MEN TAKE SEMI-FIN ALI . myth and Jack Webster Are the Vletora In Soma Fut Matches. Two Omaha men won both the serai final matches of the con eolation singles of tha national clay court Saturday morning, E. Smyth of Omaha defeating R. H. Doeh of Stuart, la., S-S, e-a, M, and Jack Web ter of Omaha beat M. Col patter or Omaha, S-8. M. Jack- Webstar won tha consolation i ain glea laat year and la evidently out after tha same honor thla year since he waa put out In tha big tourney. Ha la a member f the Michigan college team. Both of tha semi-finals . were good matches, tha Smyth-Doah go being the hardest fought. Smyth took a long time tartlng and the Iowa player took tha first aet 8-0. In tha next set Smyth came back and trounced Doah with tha same eoore and tha fight was even for the match. With both of tha first two seta gone deuce tha last aet atarted with each man playing carefully. With six games apiece both were speeded up so that the match appeared aa a real championship one. Smyth's activity In covering the court really won him the tournament rather than his akl!l with the racquet. Jack Webster proved too speedy for tha other Omaha man. Webster's servo won him many a point, a nwlft ball over tha court proving hard to manage, and Col petser simply returned It the best he could only to have Webster place It at will on bis next shot. . Colpetser found himself In the aecond aet and for a few mlnutea it looked aa If 'he might make away with one aet. 4 Webster teadied down, however, and won on hla own serve.

TIME REEDED TO BUILD A TEAM While lean Msfiatti Do Not Know the Stlaaa of Abase, Others Get It from All Sides by law dlaraaBt Fame. NEW YORK. Aug. a Managera of loalng baae ball teama are not to be envied. They are held responsible for fallurea and ara subjected to an endleaa amount of severe criticism, some of It warranted and the rest of It uncalled for. Because they cannot make Inferior players ahow championship caliber and because they have no desirable timber with which to make strengthening deals, they become targets for abuaa from Impatient fans and heartless critics. Nobody seems to realise that It requires time to build up a winning ball club, and for that reason an unsuccessful team handler Is a phenomenon If he can survive the fusil lade of adverse comment that inevitably acmes his way, , John McOraw, Frank Chanoe, Hugh Jen nings and Connie Mack do not know tha meaning of the word abuse. They have been fortunate enough to . have winning teama ever since they become major league managers. If they make deala for playera that do not pan out fans and critloa readily gloss over the mletakea and make plausible excuses that perpetuate a feeling of con fidence. If their teams lose a string ot games the alump la attributed to hard luck. the umplrea, or dumb ball playing by the men who take orders from the bench. These managers are lionised year In and year out and are entitled to live In continual peace because of the results they produce. It Is a truth that cannot be denied that Mack. McOraw, Jenninga and Chance pos sess sterling managerial ability that other team leaders are unable to boast of and tbat their winning teams are developed by real skill and sound Judgment. But It Is also true that these successful managera have been extremely lucky in getting what are known as "the best of the breaks." the equivalent of .a constant smile from old dame fortune. 1 Jimmy McAleer and Clark Griffith are present day examplea of the toning mana ger. McAleer la having all kinds of trouble In trying to make hla Washington win, while Griffith's days as handler of the Cincinnati Reds are numbered. Tet both men have bad years of base ball experience and have never been accused of knowing nothing of the fine points of the national game. Each haa tha backing of rich em ployers and both ' have worked hard to delight the fane In their respective cities. But ."the breaks' have been against them and tbay are now subjected to volleys of vituperative criticism that apell ruin tor their teama. . laf air Criticism. Griffith and McAleer have been blamed for exercising poor judgment In running their teama, but It Is decidedly unfair to accuse them of falling to secure winning playera No major league team that haa one or two star playera will make a trade for Inferior men. The Giants wouldn't sell Mathewson at any prtoe, any more than the Athletlca would part with Col Una or the Highlanders would, let go of Russell Ford. Bo in spite of big money to be apent for great players Griffith and Mc Aleer confess that their hands ara tied and that they, cannot Improve their teama under tthe present condtlona. Last winter Griffith made one of the blggeat tradea on record when ha ex changed Lobert, Paskert, Rowan and Beebe for Moren, McQulllen. Bates and Grant of the Phlladelphtaa. At the time Griffith waa complimented for getting the better of the deal and Cincinnati fans promptly saw vlalones of tha "pennant, yet tbe deal turned out to be the most unfor tunate transaction that the Reds' manager could have completed. Lobert was unable to . play flret-claaa ball 'n Cincinnati, but ha Is now a star In Quekertown. Paskert didn't ahow real claaa In Porkvllle, yet he la playing a wonderful game for Dooln. Grant, who waa a crack-a-Jack in Phlla delphla. haa been a weak apot In Redvllle, while Mo ran and McQulllen, auppoaed to be top notch pitchers, have been little more than dead weight on Griffs hands. Griffith let Huggina, Oakea and Mowrey go to the St. Louis Cardinals at a time when they appeared to ba worthless mater ial, but under Roger Breeoahan'a maelo handling they have aecured a new lease on life. Griff had BUI Buma, the well ktawn left-handed pitcher, for a while, but aa ba looked like a failure Burns was released to the Quakers, with whom ha quickly howde winning quality. These reverses have stirred up Cincinnati critics to such a degree of bitterness that they have no mercy for Griffith. Every defeat of the Reds is charged up to him and he la never in Doubles NATIONAL CLAT COURT TOURNBT out of hot water. His employer, Garry Herrmann, has never declined to apend money lavishly for new players and It Is a question because of the avarloe of rival club owners. In Washington the conditions appear to be similar. The team haa been Covering around the tail end position for twenty three years and the fana ara becoming desperate. McAleer, capable and pains taking, took hold of the washlngtons laat year, and . although he had aecond elasa material to work with he managed to get the team out of the cellar. Then the Washington critics and fana began to ory for a flrat division team and McAleer, pro testing that he needed more time to develop a winner, waa overruled. He waa Informed that Washington mu t have a ball club that would flnlsu fifth at the lowest and that's all there was to It. The. only first-class men McAleer had at' the beginning of thla year's campaign were Johnson, Street and Milan. Elber feld saw his best days when he draw sal ary from tbe Highlanders, while tha other playera were Just plain everyday minor leaguers. But McAleer went about the task with characteristic pluck and eald nothing. Ha told hla employera that ha would do the beat he could, nothing mora. The Waahlngtona have played the aame er ratio ' games that marked their work In former years, and McAleer has been made to understand that he la wholly to blame. Hla discomfiture has been increased by the wlllngneaa of newspapers to publish let ters from fans setting forth how tha team should be managed, while there la an in cessant howl for another team leader. ' Mo Aleer la highly regarded by President John son and other American league officials. who deplore the present state of affaire in Washington, but are powerless to offer aid. Other managera who ara alssllng on the pan because of the failure of their teama are Fred Tenney of the Boston Nationals, Dahlen of the Brooklyna and Bobby Wal lace ot tha St. Louis Browns. George Bto vall has done so well with tha Clevelande that he will receive another trial next season, but there la aoma doubt about Patay Donovan of the Boston Red Sox and Hugh Duffy of the Chicago White Box. Hal Chase will remain In charge of the Hlghlandera In - 1912, as tha team la going fairly well In aplte of many accl dents that handicapped the boy manager at the beginning of the campaign. It la something new for Roger Bresna han of the Cardinals and Charley Dooln of the Phlladelphlas to enjoy hero worship Both headed losing combinations last year and were frequently atung by tha eh efts of the critics. But. their teama have worked wonaera so lar this year and they are no longer compelled to lie awake nlghta trying to devise ways and means to avoid the Jeers and taunta of Impatient crowds. They .can't make mistakes, and their friends are legion. Followers of winning ball teams always are charitable, but ever ready to acora the poor manager when re verses drag their favorites In tbe mire.

L CLAT COURT CHAMPIONSHIP WHO BRITISH OPPOSE WELLS FIGHT They Say it Would Be Suicide for Him to Go Against Johnson. BIO BLACK FIGHTER IS CRAFTY He Made Promoters Show Color of Their Money Before He Signed Up for Boot to Be Palled -Off la September. NEW YORK, Aug. 12. A fight that may end a promising career, according to many London fight critics, Is that between Jack Johnson and Bombardier Wells, the Eng lish champion, and the holder of Lord Lonsdale's heavyweight belt. ' In all quarters In England except those directly Interested in the financial pos sibilities this match has met with resent ment. Wells is by far the best boxer and the most promising fighter that England has produced for many years, and those on the other aide who have watched hla quickly ' growing reputation and his achievements, have fondly believed that In him they had found a future world's cham pion, one . possessed of qualities to take back to England the long lost honor. It la regarded as tantamount to profes sional suicide for htm to meet Johnson at this stage of his development, and the uninterested section of the London press has no hesitancy In slamming the com1 paot. Wells has only been hut of the British army for a matter of eighteen months or so, and all his fighting has been done during the last year. He has come on a lot, Is a clever boxer for a big man, haa a good punoh In either hand and Is as game aa they make them. But he la full of nervea and suffers from stage fright every time be enters the ring. There Is no doubt that Johnson will be able to hypnotise him when they face each other, and Welle Is expected to make a sorry showing. The match waa offered to Hugh Mcintosh more than five weeks ago,, but that astute gentleman, foreseeing tha coming antagonism of the English public, passed It up. Shock to All Ba aland. This match haa been the greatest shock English pride has received in many years. They are proud of Wells and all their hopes have been centered In him; that he should have listened to the guile of the golden guineas and fallen Into the arms of the waiting Johnson is, in the eyes of his countrymen, the greatest blunder he could have possibly made. But artful Arthur smiles sweetly and thinks of the 830,000 that he Is going to get for his share. The fight between Johnson and Wells will take place In the laat week of Sep tember at the atadlum where the laat Olymplo games were held. One of the featurea of the match is that both Wells and Johnson will each give a public train ing exhibition - as Introduced In London by Mcintosh, and from this a respectable revenue Is anticipated, although neither of the fighters will have any share in it Johnson took no chances with the pro moters. He kidded them Into the belief that in meeting Wells he was going against a more formidable antagonist than either Burna or Jeffries, and unless the money was safely lodged ha would not fight Wella and Johnson met to sign the articles and the separate agreementa each haa with the syndicate. Wells signed almost at once, but not Lll' Artha. He wanted to see the color of tha money first, and the syndicate's representative had to do some hustling to post 210,000 that day. He even tually got it and lodged It with the purse- holder, the Sportsman, and Johnson signed that evening. HACK RESULTS AT O'ftBlLX, NEB. Speed Oa Wine Tne-Tklrtaas Pace (ran Field of Three.

MEET IN HILWAuXEE SEPT. 16 aet lea Is Whether tae iaaseaiaa Cwa A Moral ! Away Sa Meek Welsh! ta Hla Haeky Ofsearat CHICAGO. Aag. JX-Packey McParland may share tbe lightweight honors with Ad Wolgast after tha fight ta Mlawaukea on September 11 Wolgast has eaade the match at a weight that will suit MacFar land better than any propoaitloo over be fore made to him by the champion, aad It Is a eueetioa sew whether .tha local lad will ba able to take ad rentage MtMSf station and grab off a share of the hoaors as a result. Many think he wiu. The weight to ba 138 at I a'cloclt. which means tbat Merer land will eater the ring at about M7 pounds, while Wolgast will hardly scale over 132 at the snost. Can Wolgast afford to give awajf that much weight ta a elever snaa like McFar land 7 Ad thmks ha oan. but there are many who tMnk he Is making a serious mistake, tor McFarland Is a different claaa boxer to what the champion has been meet ing and he can also punoh when he haa hla strength with him, not being sapped away by making Impossible weights. It will mean lota of hard work for McFarland to make even 138 pounda at 8. but he can do It and retain hla strength, according to Manager Thlery. If that la the rase then It will mean a hard proposition for Wolgast to face, McFarland and hla manager have eonstd- -ered all these points beforehand. There Is no doubt on that score, for when Packey was asked through his manager to go ahead with the proposed match with Matt Wells he balked and said It would ba Irapossble now, as ha had to post a forfet of 80,000 to guarantee a return match with Wolgast over the long route. That got a to prove that Wolgast, while being confident Is taking no chancea on loalng In a no-decision bout. He wants to be protected should tha stock yard's boy put one over on him, as he feels he Is Psckey'a master over the long route, no matter how the short one may terminate. Looks for Easy Mone-y. It Is McFarland' plan to grab off a few weeks of easy stage money after the bout with Wolgast, for he knows that If he holda the champion even It will mean big inducements irom me veuaevme or uur lesque houses, and that Is the goal just now. Manager Thlery not ' only expected v. 1 m . u.lf Wnlv.,1 vn Kilt to apnra a victory over him, a point decision that none of the papers can deny him. After that he will want a rest, for over the long route he will be obliged to make 138 pounds four hours before the contest, which will be harder, 1 and It will mean extra hard work to get down gradually so as to re tain hla strength. Packey knows that January 1 la a big date for boxing showa on the coaat, and It will not be surprising to hear of the two meeting before Jimmy Cof froth's San Francisco olub on the first of the new year. Coffroth has offered Wolgaat a guarantee of 817,000 for hla end and Mc Farland 210.000, or 827,000 for the niatch. and It aeems certain that the Frisco man will land It, no matter how the bout In Milwaukee may' turn out Should Packey acora a knockout In Mil waukee it would upaet i.a'.culatlona some what but that would not cause tha coast bout to fall, through It would simply re- . verse matters, with McFarland drawing , down tha long end of the money and Wol gaat the short end. Although Wolgast realises that he will have the worst of It In poundage, be Is said to be the personification of confidence. He cannot believe that McFrland'a skill and science will keep him at bay. "I will make McFarland box me the way I want to, and when he atarts In at my kind of game It will be a bad time for Packey," aald tha champion. ''Packey does not like body punches, and, believe me, I ara going to pump 'em Into hla midsection so hard and fast he will think a triphammer la beating a tattoo on his stomach. I think Packey will slow up when 1 begin to get at him." McFarland is equally aa confident regard ing the outcome. He will rely on his speed and skill to outpoint the champion, and he declared that Wolgast will not land a doseh clean blows on him throughout the ten rounds. "I have studied Wolgaat's atyle carefully, and I realise that aa a wrestler and a tug ger he la without an equal. Any boy who tries to rough It with him will lose surely, but I do not intend to let him draw m'e In close," says McFarland. "Wolgaat can go into hla shell and stay there for all of me. When he covers up I will work on his stomach and when ha opens , up I will be there waiting for him. Wolgast fears the result In spite of all hla boasta to tha con trary. It he oea not why haa he forced me to algn s greement to meet him In a longer battU the fall 7 W coming to h. he will gef fool him botl the Paclflo coast later In st sees a good whipping 1 ten rounds, but he thinks n over a longer route.
