By RUSSELL PHELPS.
Great Western circuit rnthusiasts at
the Omaha Driving club's program
yesterday saw one of the rare thrill
ers in harness horsedom a seven
heat race. The long, strung out battle
for honors in the 2:27 trot kept the
loyal legion of the faithful at the
Benson track until nearly 7 o'clock
last night, for the winner of the race
was in doubt until two trotters, the
survivors out of a field of eight start
ers, thundered under the wire in the
seventh and final heat.
Result of Stamina.
Maharba, a royal, gamey offspring
of Archdale. owned b)y the Hildeth
stables of Omaha, beat out Bobola,
a gelding by Expedition, hailing from
Iowa, in the last heat and won. first
money. Maharba's performance was
a shining example of what stamina
means. He did not win a heat until
the fifth frame, and then he came
back and with Driver Hildreth in the
sulky copped three straight, grabbing
final honors from a horse, who came
home a victor in the' first and third
heals. t ,
The 2:27 trot was as an exciting
a race from the spectators' standpoint
as any of the Great Western circuit
meting to date. Drivers were re
buked and ordered changed by the
judges, scoring was lively and keen,
infact, a little too keen at times,
rivalry was displayed between a few
reinsmen.' T he come-back staged by
Maharba. who iemingly didn't have
a chance to get better than second
money up till the fifth heat was fin
ished. V as the outstanding feature of
the day.
i Eight Trotters Start
Eight trotters scored for the word
in th? first heat, with Bobola. Wag
ner. High Knob Anna and Maharba
ruling as prime favorites. When they
Ot away Miss Gailey, driven by
Jimmy Konin, and High Knob Anna,
with Genoung handling the ribbons,
failed to score with the field, but were
given places by the judges at the con
clusion of the heat. s
A royal tilt between Bobola and
Maharba for first honors resulted in
a victory for the farmer, Black Kil
kenny and Jack Coobs placing third
and fourth, respectively.
High Knob Anna trotted a pretty
race in the next heat and won. Wag
ner grabbed second position at the
wire, beating Bobola and lack
Coombs and pushing Maharba back
to fifth. y
Before the start of the third heat
Starting Judge Stone called Driver
Allen, piloting Wagner, and Driver
Perry, sitting behind Bobola. to the
stand and ordered drivers changed. It
was the impression these two reins
men didn't perform in the previous
heat in a way to please the racing
judiciary. ' Mr. Taylor went in for
Perry and Fred Douglas supplanted
Allen as Wagner's remsman.
Bobola Wins Third.
Driver Taylor sandled Bobola In a
fashionable way and won the' third
heat, beating out Maharba and Jack
.Coombs. Wagner, a son of Ed. Cus
ter, sprung a surprise by romping
home a winner in the fourth heat.
Bobola was second and High Knob
Anna third.
Before the four leaders, Wagner,
Bobola,' High Knob Anna and Ma
harba, were called to start the fifth
heat the judges decided there was
still something wrong and ordered
another driver in Bobola's sulky.

The Cause of Constipation.
Constipation it usually due to a tack
of water in the excrement. To effect
a cure you must take "more water into
the system. It may be months, how
ever, before this has any appreciable
effect on the bowels, but when per
sisted in and fruit and vegetables con
taining water are eaten freely, the
condition may be overcome. In the
meantime use the mildest laxatives
obtainable and take only enough to
produce the desired effect. Chamber
lain's Tablets are one of the best.
They are easy to take and most agree
able in effect. Advertisement.

Wichita Wins First Game, 6 to
3, by Pounding O'Toole, But.
Loses Second Contest,
7 to 3.
Omaha and Wichita split even in
a double bill yesterday afternoon.
Wichita won thefirst game, 6 to 3,
and Omaha captured the second one,
Ttr3."
Marty O'Toole was" the victim in
the first game. The Wolves took a
liking to Marty's offerings and
straightened his slants out to all cor
ners of the lot. They jumped on him
in the first inning and in the first three
rounds marked up five scores, enough
to pickle the battle.
Carl Baker, for Vichita, held the
Kourkes helpless except in one in
ning, the seventh,, when three hits
accounted for aa many runs.
The Kourkes accused Baker of doc
toring the pill. They rwiped a couple
of balls as samples and probably will
send tl.em to Prexie Dickerson with
a protest.
The Wolves were duck soup for
Otto Mcrz in the second game. After
the first inning, when they scored two
runs on a couple of bingfes, the visit
ors from Kansas couldn't even see
Otto's fast ones. '
The Rourkes knocked two Wichita
hurlers from the mound, Koestner and
Clemons,
Wichita makes its last appearance
of the year on the local lot today,
starting at 3:15. Saturday, Lincoln
comes for four games, including a
double-header Sunday.

least four months, or until after the-'
