Many a Batting Eye Has Been Ruined Looking for Openers
OMAHA'S SPEEDWAY
FINISHED MONDAY
Promoter! of Enterprise Enthusi
astic Over Long List of Speed
Kings Coming.
TRACK TO BE THE FASTEST
By Monday evening the entire surface
of the track will be finished at the nesc
Auto Speedway near Carter lake. Work
rn the grandstands, 1,300 feet long,
now under way, and the bltf concrete)
tunnel for autos, under the track, Is also
leing puithed to completion.
Speed fans who have recently inspected
the Speedway are enthusiastic over the
prospects for breaking record, as well
as for handling the Immense crowds that
will flock to see the world famous driv
ers who are coming for tl.o JuO-mile
world's classic to be staged July 3, a
l gal holiday, for a $15,ono purse.
' Fastest peed .
"Driver are going to call it a regular
Joy ride," says President Bert l.e Bron
of the Speedway association. "Worlds
records for the distance are going to be
ma .shed, or I miss my guess, for it is
the fastest speedway ever built"
With a beautiful surface of 2x4 timbers,
In Id mm tdxu, tliereby eliminating all
dust, muj nn t dirt, and the carefully
iiKliK-creii lr pii -ludiua on the big, easy
curve, tlii- MM'cdwuy offers every in
ducement u (i;cd, with perfect aafety
at the same time. The curves are so con
structed that they can be taken without
hatting an eye or lessening speed a bit.
The engineers who designed the track
say that it will hold a speed of over 100
miles an hour with perfect safety.
Two broad stralght-aways of almost
half a mile each, combined with the lofty
grandstands, will give every one of the
thousands of spectators a full view of
the snorting speed kings throughout the
enMre race of 3(0 miles around the mil-)
To Be Completed Monday.
For the last few days Contractor C. R.
Vauchn, -the man who superintended the
erection of Hotel Foutyiielle and other
gigantic construction work In Omana,
has been working 125 carpenters and al
most al many laborers full time on the
track surface work. He would have fin
ished It Saturday had not the last ship
ment of 2x4 lumber been delayed, and
he says that It Is sure of completion
by tomorrow.
So big is the course that a casual visitor
glancing over It from a point of vantage
hardly realties that a regiment of men
is laboring there. Yet a trip around, the
track and a careful count of the work
men proves the surprising slxe of the
working force.
An investment of 395,000, Including prize
mone,'is represented to date, according
to figures compiled by Treasurer Adolph
Storx. Considerable more money will be
pent In finishing the enterprise and mak
ing It complete in every detail for thi
accommodation of the crowds, so that
when ths) elimination trials begin Satur
day, Jnly 3, Just three weeks from yes
terday, the) whole project will stand lta
backers at least 1100,030, they assert.

ROYAL SECOND
LATONIA WINNER
English-Bred Colt Takes Derby
Honors by a Full Length.
WORTH OVER TEN THOUSAND
CINCINNATI. June 12. Royal II. an
English bred colt, owned by Jefferson
Livingston of Chicago and New York,
won the thirty-second ' renewal of the
Latonia derby at the Latonla, Ky.. race
track today, by a full length of Dortch,
who was tiring rapidly toward the end
after being a prominent contender the
better part of the way.
The race was worth $10,125 to the win
ner, and he paid J4.S0 for a $2 ticket In
the pari mutual betting.
Takes Premier Honors.
Royal II, bay son of Your Majesty
Lady Ethel, proved himself worthy of
carrying off the premier honors that
Latonla has to offer. Off well to a per
fect start. Jockey Gans rated htm along
under slight restraint until the first three
quarters of a mile had been traversed.
When straightened out on the back
stretch Ganx let out a few WTapa and
Royal II responded Immediately, and
gradually closed In on his field. Gans
worked him Into third place passing the
starting post, and at the mile and a
quarter Goose on Tetan, noted that
Royal II was on his horse withers.
Then came the real battle for suprem
acy. But the gameness of the English
oolt was not to be denied and the horses
passed the final eighth pole nose to nose,
with the stout-hearted Dortch only a
head behind. Little by little Royal II
was seen, to push forward, and at the
final sixteenth pole was In a commanding
position, and won by a length from the
tiring Tetan, who was the same distance
ahead of Dortsch.
Dr is Pair.
The day was fair, the track was fast
and the crowd was probably the largest
that ever wended its way through the
Latonla gates.
Royal 11 was favorite in the betting,
with Emerson Cochran a second choice.
The latter was never a serious con
tender after the first half-mile, and fin
ished last. Teton was an outsider In the
betting and was reported to have been
withdrawn earlier In the day. but owner
Perkins decided to start him at the last
moment, and the horse paid $22.30 for a
J2 ticket to place and $M0 for a $2 ticket

WATER BASEML IS A TIE
Omaha and Council Bluffi Aquatio
Clubi Play Five Scoreleii
Inningi.
MAYOR DAHLMAN IS ON HAND
Five desperate Innings to a scoreless
tie battled the water base ball nines rep
resenting the Omaha Aquatic club and
the Council Bluffs Aquatio club at the
Council Bluffs Rowing association yes
terday afternoon before some 800 persons,
who lamped the proceedings with con
siderable glee. Ae the end of the five
frames each and every athlete was com-
q pletely on the blink, as It Is said chasing
oSthe cork ball around the water Is Quite
exhaustive.
Mayor Dahlmsn was on hand to chuck
the first ball, just like in a league ball
game. But as the game la played In the
water and the various players stand on
floats six feet square, the mayor refused
tn take any chances and he threw the
rill from the dock, where there was no
chance of skidding Into the btinv deep.
The game la played lust like base ball,
except, as before mentioned, the players
stand on floats and swim after the ball
and fro mbasn to base. Thinking that
the batters would knock the ball too far,
some far-seeing youth sawed off the
bats. Then it was discovered that with
the short sticks the ball couldn't be
poled much farther than second base.
Pete Wendell, formerly swimming I re
nt ructor at the Central Toung Men's
Christian association, la coach of the
Omaha team, and he swears the game to
be played this afternoon will be no tie.
Wendell has a hunch the Omaha crowd
will hammer the daylights out of the
Bluffs crew. Wendell plays centerfleld.

swimmer must be when a natatorial Ham

Itarneas horse racing, the sp.rt In
which America la the barter and the rest
of the nations of the world the followers
and Imitators. Is In the midst of a great
revival In Omaha. After many years of
neglect of Its great opportunities as the
center of a blue grass region which I.
t.ot second even to the tamed pastures of
Kentucky, Omaha this summer will have
two opportunities to greet the trotters
and pacers In action.
The Omaha Driving club will have the
honor of restoring this city to the Itiner
ary of king horse, America's m-st pop
ular entertainer, when the gates r.pen at
the new speedway for lis meeting, to bo
held August S--7. There the troiter and
paces and his owners, drivers and thoua
ends of friends will find a fine new rac
ing plsnt. Including a fast and safe track
and modern and up-to-date buildings.
These are a part of the big speedway In
Last Omaha. The second race meeting ot
the year will be held by the county fair
association at Its new grounds.

One of the greatest features of the San
Francisco exposition la tne biggest harn
ess rsclng meeting ever held anywhere
in the world, where eveiy day a fortune
In purses Is hung up for the racers.
Thousands of lovers of the horse cannot
see these wonderful races, but here's the
greatest news in the sport line that
Omaha has heard In many years.
A number of the beat steeds which now
are naclng In en Francisco are eomlrav
to Omaha to grace the Omaha CrlvlnR

thousands of spectators to the local traok

In thee days when "See Ameli a
First," Is coming Into Its own. It ' is
peculiarly fltUng that the trotter whl h
has attained near perfection in Ameti a
and whose development Is credited to the
United Ktates alone, should find hlntsi If
more popular than he has been for many
years. That ' Omaha has always lotr.-.l
the trotter has been proven many times
by huge crowds who have traveled many
mUes to see him perform In other cltlra.
That the metropolis will greet his adve it
at the fipeedway with enthusiasm Is rU
ready assured, according to reports re
ceived by the live business men wi n

Driving club. The directors are: Provi

O. M. Smith; directors, E. p. Peck. E.
