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

Best All 'Round Player in National League
r
...t.u ...
' iiitiismiira
' There Is no argument about tha best
all-round player in the American league.
That title la held by Tjr Cobb, by almost
universal consent The Georgia Peach
has so long starred at the bat and In
tha field that no one else In the Amer
ican league can approach him for gen
eral worthiness to his team. -
Bu, there may be room for argument
concerning the title holder In tha Na
tional . league. Honus Wagner, Jake
Daubert, Rabbit Maran villa. Johnny
Ever and others, are strong contenders,
but someone has figured out that Vlo
Baler of the Chicago Cuba la the man
entitled to the crown.
He argues aa fallows' t
Famous Referee Sizes Up the
Stcchcr-Gotch
' Br KD W.1 SMITH.
It look very much now aa If Jo
Bteoher,. newest wrestling phenomenon.
Isn't golag to meet Frank Ootch on Labor
day, and there la a very good reason for
Jo 1 afraid If he meet Ootch and I
beaten th entire state of Nebraska will
go broke.
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.

"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. Also
he la tied with Carey for the number
of stolen bases and has made more bits
than Ty Cobb this- year. Baler has
smashed out hits for 1C7 bases all told,
while Ty has but 161 to his credit. II
hag batted for more ' extra base . than
Bam Crawford, with seventy-ons against
sixty. He leads tha National league In
two and three-base hits, and la aeoond
only to Craratb In home runs. In ad
dition to all this he la a oraokerjavok

tto, there you are.
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.

but had- to step a third heat In 2:00 to do

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!
