KOCH AND SCRIB WINS DOUBLES Before a gallery that applauded every play, good, bad and Indifferent, tha cli max In the city tennis tournament was reached and the singles championship changed handa for the first time In five "ears. Russell Larmon now holds the title, which he took from the veteran, Harry Koch, today in the fastest tennis the Field club course has even seen In many a day. The score was S-2. 3-7. 4-4, Koch and Art 8crlbner won the doubles championship by defeating Cub Potter and Juy Beckett two straight matches, S-2, (-2. Koch and Scrlbner outclassed Potter, and Beckett, although many of the games were plaved to deuce. The Koch-Larniun match was for the best three out of five, and Larmon an nexed the first one without any great display of tennis. After that, however, every point wa hotly contested and the second set was won by Larmon only after many deuce games, and many well played point. For a time It seemed that each player could not win the eerve of the other, and tha games annexed by each player were offset by those taken by the other until each had seven to his credit. Thn Larmon got the hang of Koch's serve and took te game. He followed It up by winning his own service and the sec ond set was his. Koch Takes Third Tilt. In the third set Koch drew on his re serve, and let himself out another notch The play went faster, and the set endod with but' four games to Larraon's credit The gallery was enthusiastic, but wero largely for Larmon. Every shot he msde received applause out of proportion, quite often, to Its Importance, and every game he won called for prolonged blasts from the klaxons 'on' the autos parked outside the enclosure. The last set was the fastest one of the match, and the games won by both contenders mounted higher and higher until the gallery stood ap and shouted at every play. Deuce games , were common, and every point was fought for. Lsnssa ' Plays Safe. Larmon played safe on all of oKch's lobs, and only smashed Into them when there was no chance to lose. Koch did the same, after losing a number of points by smashing Into the net and out of the court. Both players used their heads and every ball was deliberately placed Larmon prayed brilliantly, placing tht balls In the most unexpected places, arid both players had their serve . down U a fine point v Rally by Wichit a in .

That at least 1 th reason assigned to me by a friend of th Btecher family who just came out of th mlddl west and know all about th Btecher plans. Jo isn't afraid of Ootch, make trp your mind to that. But he la afraid something might hap pen In th match which would make him a loser. That woi'Jd be little short of a calamity. Here's the dope the way I get It from this farmer friend of Joe, who had several , conferences with him relative to th Ootoh proposition. Mind you, a purse pf 320,000 1 waiting for Ootch and Btecher. This might bs sweetened up to a sum somewhat In ex cess of that if there was a chance of the match going through. But that doesn't look possible now. The Nebraska farmers have won thou sand and thousand of dollar by betting on Btecher. Most of this money cam out of the pocket of th smart city chap who have been trying for month to get Btecher beaten. The Nebraska farmer was not blinded by anything, but senti ment In this matter. Early he received th idea 'that Btecher could beat the world and he bet accord ingly. The fact that the dope indicated that Charley Cutler could beat Etepher cut not a pound of Ice with th farmer. He kaew better. "Nobody can beat our Joe," he said simply and began to bet, never stopping for anything. Now, here' th Ideal If Btecher Is matched with Ootch the Nebraska farmer will bet the Iowa to a standstill that Btecher win. . Jo cannot coma out and tail them not to bet on him because that might put some question on the honesty of the match. He cannot prevent their wager ing at all. Knowing that and also realising that If Ootch should prove the better men that every one of his friends would be flat tone-cold broke, he hesitated' about mak ing the match and finally decided alto gether not to do so. We've had these farmer athletes In tha sporting world before', mn upon whom whole neighborhoods bet tlielr Varma and mortgaged their household goods to get coin with which U show their loyalty. Bee 1915. "VIC" il2MER!.5t "Baler has scored mora rung than 4Uiy other man ln the National league and the records 'show that ha baa driven In more runs than any other man.

Wrestling Situation Whan Billy VTyer fought Jack Uo Aullff In 1889 for th lightweight boxing title at North Judson, Ind whole Mo tion of the finest farm land In th western country hung In the baianoe. The Illlnol farmer believed that nothing that stood on two feet could whip My. Billy saved the money for them by making a purely defensive fight against McAullffe. The magnitude of the betting appalled him and thought of th eon sequences It he lost so preyed on hi mind that he determined to go In there and fight merely for a draw and take no chance at all. The case of Bteoher 1 quit similar to the Myer episode. a They'll never believe in Nebr&aka that anybody, not even Ootch, can dump this boy on his back. They'll bet that way.

SPEEDYAY RACE TRACKJS RAISED Trottlnrf Course at Speedway is Pal in Shape for the Big Eaces Next Week. HORSES ALREADY ARRIVTKCJ1 By a. K. MUM RAT. President Ed Peterson and Secretsr? O. M. Smith of the Omaha Driving club won a race against time last week when, they cleared the track at East Omaha; of water which had accumulated on the back stretch and lower turn and madf tho oval ready for training work of tha advance guard of horses for the local' meeting. The Omaha meeting la next week. (Time flies, but all things come to him who watts except to the race horse at the head of the home stretch.) Mr. Peterson and Mr. Bnrith were confronted wlfh this situation: The horsemen who were intending to lay up this week and start here were anxious to come to Omaha, Immediately, but they had to work their steeds during the interval. Pate Bis: Oatflt to Werk. It was up to these men to accommodate the horsemen and they went about It In a way characteristics of Omaha, which means there was nothing small about their operations. Mr. Peterson, It will be remembered. Is head of one of tho biggest railroad contracting plants In tho country. He just moved a large part of his plant out to the speedway, In cluding seventy-five or 100 mules and a lot of machinery and wagons and the Job was done right. The track was raised a couple of feet and measures were taken to prevent similar trouble In the future. Workmen are rushing bams to com pletion to add to trie stall space already provided and others are reconstructing the root of the grand stand, which a re cent wind storm blew oft. In fact the customary simile about a bee hive would hardly give the readerah adequate notion of the busy aspect of the speed way at present. Ante Ovrmere lav Wed to Track. Owner of automobiles can assist In making the track fast and safe If they will take a ride out to East Omaha and circle the track a few times as often as they have opportunity. There Is nothing so good as automobile travel to pack a raaa track. This ls an official invita tion to ear owner Issued by request of Secretar? Smith, That was 4 furious raoe at Tekamah which the 1:08 paoatr perpetrated Friday. Hal MoKlnney, the Panama-Fact flo ex position winner, defeated Columbia Fire, but had- to step a third heat In 2:00 to do It. Irene Beau, O. IS. Smith's Grand Circuit race mar, which paced In 2:02 for Tommy Murphy last year, failed to make the, showing expected of her. At the tlm of writing this I hadn't heard what her alibi Is, but doubtless ah has a good excuse. Bh I a remarkably good-head! mar and will probably do herself jus tlo at Omaha. With her and College Gent and Axcybetta and tha other bear oat entered In the rac the Hal "horse' and Columbia Fir will tuav their hands full whan th bell ring for the 2:08 pao at th speed-araT.
