A good Saturday afternoon crowd witnessed the first tilt between Omaha and Jacksonville at the Chailes Street park yesterday after- noon. It was a Bercely contested game and belonged to ne one untfl the last man was out. There was any amount of good hitting and brilliant flelding and baserunning—in fact, the game fairly sparkled with good things from start to finish. Uncle David’s boys got through with but a single blunder, a high fiy misjudged and muffed by Ulrick. Aside from this their work was of the gilt-cdge kind. The Jax also played ball. Their hit- ting was terrific and their fielding marred by but three errors, Balsz was in the box for Omaha. He was wild as a hawk and presented the Illinoisans With no less than eight bases on balls. Bagan relieved him in the eighth and finished out the game in masterly style. Swartz did the twirling for the Jax up to the eighth. He was also wild and was dis- placed to give O'Connor a show, and he got it. On three singles, two bases on balls and two men hit by the pitcher Omaha piled 9 six runs and clinched the game. It would dave been better judgment to have allowed Bwartz to pitch out the game. He was just gotting' fairly warmed up, and when he got out of the game it was a tie, with everything looking favorable for Devinney's gang. For the first time this season Mr. Warde was a little bit lax in adjudicating the fine points of the game, but both sides suffered about alike, and on the whole his work was far from bad. Umpires, like players, have thelr off days, the very best of them. This afternoon there will be two games for one admission. Both teams were anxious to play off Friday's postponed game, and Captains Hutchison and Devinney were not long in coming to an agreement. The first game will be called at 3:15 and the second immediately after the completion of the first. Darby will do the pitching in number one for Omaha and Carrish in the second game. Manager Rowe has added another strong man to the team in the person of young Nattress, who has been playing third for Kansas City. He will arrive hers tomorrow and go right Into the game. Nattress is a superb ficlder, a good sticker and a very promising all round man, and will go a long way toward rounding off Omaha's team. The score: OMAHA. 3. R. BH. SH.

The Omaha and the Gate City clubs tried corclusions oh the grounds of the former yesterday afternoon, with the result that the latter club was victorious by the small margin of sixteen runs. For its victoy the Gate City club deserves all credit, as yesterday's game was won on its merits. The batting of Tufficld and the bowling of Neale may be said to have done the trick, as both these players in their different ways covered themselves with glory. Tuffleld’s 31 was put together in first- class form, while Neale's nine wickets speak for themselves For the Omahas, the long stand made by H. Lawrie, the batting UFI', H. Hildite! and Rev. §. P. D.

Two weeks from next Saturday has been fixed for the opening of the city lawn tennis tournament. The state tournament for sin- gles begins on June 10 at Lincoln, and it was, therefore, necessary either to have the local event earlier than usual or postpone the conclusion of it until so late in the season that many people who would wish either to take part in tne competitions or watch the play might have left the town r the summer. Ior that reason the tour- nament committee cid=d that it would be better to begin the tournament on Sat- urday, June 1. The entries will close on May 30 and the drawing will be made on the evening of that day. Names should be sent as early as possible to the secretary of the club, Mr. G. E. Haverstick, at the United States National bank. In the singles event the weaker men will have the same ‘hance of carrying off the prizes as the stronger, for every competitor will be han- dicapped according to his merit. A meeting of the members of the club will be held, probably some night this week, to fill & vacancy on the executive commit: tee and for other purposes.

PRINCETON, N. J, May 1l.—'Varsity fleld has never looked to better advantage | did today when the athletic team | picked from the crack men of the University | of California, which reached here from the | west a few days ago, defeated the Princetons by a score of 61 points to 61. The wearers of the California blue and gold were looked upon as being very dangerous by all those who saw them in practice here. It was gen- erally conceded they would take first and second honors in the hurdle races, the jump and the 600-yard race. Bradiey was looked upon to take the mile and a halt and mile runs, but before the games began Manager North stated Bradley had been called away to Philadelphia last night, and was not in good condition. He also said Dozier was not in good condition either. On the other hand, the students claimed that there could have been selected a stronger team from among those eligible to compete, and said the orange and black had better men than fome of those whose names were on the program. Sowne thousand collegians and visitors, many of the latter being of the fairer sex, were gath- ered on the stands when the first event was anmounced. The weather was excellent. Although the sun’s rays were too warm for the runners, a gentle breeze began to blow across the fields, which made the day a most beautiful one. The runuing track and infleld were pro- nounced by the contestants to be in splendid condition, but, as the result will show, not one of the men equaled his previous best record. As the visitors had only one man entered in some of the events it was ar- ranged to score five points for first place and thres for second In each contest. Sum- byt The pole vault went by default to Princton, as the visitors brought no pole vaulter with them. The first event, 100-yard dash, was won by F. S. Allen, Princcton; J. W.

In the second race Hiawasse led for two miies, Pat Oakley and Oakwood going well be. hind, until the water jump, when Oakwood got over nicely, but ‘stumbied and threw his jockey. In the last half mile Oakley came away and won easily. The St. Nicho- las hurdle” handicap had a_good field, with 8t. John as the favorite at 7 to 5, and Judge Morrow second choice. The flag fell to a good start and Morrow at once took the lead. None of the others seemed able to head him, with the excention of Red Cloud. "The two cleared the last hurdle abreast. Morrow, however, stumbled bit and finished second by half a length, both horses being all out. In the New York steeplechase handicap, Iron Duke was heavily backed, closing at 9 to 5, witly Rodman sscond chofce and ~ The Peer third There was a good start and Iron Duke took the lead at once.

ST. LOUIS, May 11.—The opening day of the St. Louis Fair association spring meet- ing was attended by a concourse of people numbering 12,00, who braved the elements and shivered in the cold, boreal winds, The track was dusty, and from the half to the three-quarters poles each race was a ty- hoon In which the hindermost horses we wpletely en d and lost to vie it of the \p swe 3 up- rdg, the winner pulling down som-:thing over $,000. The distance was one mile. Dr. Hasbrouck was the favorite among the knowing ones until his me was scratched, together with that of John Cooper and David. Chris Smith's entry,' Yo Tambien and Urania, quoted at 9 to 5, was much liked. Urania was to have set the pace and Yo Tambien was to have done the winning. Libertine was well liked and sold at 3 to 1, but for ®:m2 unaccountabl» reason O'Con- nel carried the most money at the same flg- ures. O'Connel, with McDonald up, was left ‘riderless at the half-mile post, the bridle having broken and the jockey fell to the ground. The horse camo in second to last with his’ gearing and caparison dang- ling between his legs. Yo Tambien had a poor start and did not get in the bumeh until reaching the head of the stretch. Libertine got away well and set the pace for the field, defying any of them to overtake him, and finished easy, with the Kendall stable's entry close up for the second. Twenty-two hooks were opencd.

WHY THE HRORSES WERE SCRATCHED Dick Croker Explains the Action of Him- solf and Dwyer. (Copyrighted, 1895, by the Assoclated Press.) LONDON, May 1lL—In sporting cir- cles there Is much comment on the fact that all of Mr. Richard Croker's 2-year-olds, except Montauk, have been scratched and that not one of Mr. M. J, Dwyer's horses will race agaln until August. The annquncement on Thursday last that Harry Reed and Stonenell were scratched for the Jubflee Stakes caused much sur- prise. This was the first blg race for which the American horses were entered and it Is one In which they would have met some of the English cracks, including Avington, Rav- ensbury, Throstle, EIl Diablo and Priestholme. Mr. Richard Croker yesterday in notifying the Associated press representative at New- market of the scratching of the American horses, said: ‘‘We consider that the Ameri- can horses were not exactly fit for hard work. Understand me; they are in good con- dition, but we are obliged to admit they are somewhat weakened by the voyage and not yet climatized. We want them to be fully” up to thelr work, which at present they are not. Our horses will not start in any more races until August 1, and then we intend fo Keep up our end thoroughly. We may be disappointed in the result, but we will at least have a good deal of fun. GREAT CROWDS WATCH WHEELMEN Bioyele Kaces at Oaklind's iFiesta Entor- taln Twenty Thoasaud People.

Aftairs of the University Club, Once again will the college yells re-echo around the university park as they did last Thanksglving day at the foot ball game when the Nebraska State university won the cham- plonship of the Western Intercollegiate asso- clation, for Omaha is to bs treated to a series of college base ball games. The yell of the Nebraska State university Is “U-U-Uni, var-var-var-si-ty, braski, Oh-My The yell of the University of Michigan is “U of M. rah! rah! rah! rah! U of M, rah! rah! rah! rah! Hoorah! Hoorah! Michigan, Michigan, rah! rah! rah!" The University club of Omaha has not adopted a yell as yet, but there is no doubt that when the excitement of the game is on that some of the many witty heelers will bring forth something original. The first game will be next Saturday, May 18, with the Nebraska State team, and the local team will try to get back szt them for th> time when she was beaten by the 'varsity boys last year with Barnes in the box. The next game will be with the University of Michlgan on Tuesday, May 21, and as Abbott, Crawford and Jefferis wera formerly members of that team of course it will be played for all it is worth. Michigan has won every game she has played this year except that she was beaten at Ithica last week by Cornell by the close score of 2 to 1, and this shows what a game she is playing. College players always seem to put more vim into the game than professionals and are much more fearless in sliding bases. Sexton will pitch for Michigan and he is considered by Casper Whitney one of the best pitchers on the amateur field and capable of filling a position on any league team. Michigan has held for many years an enviable position in college base ball, always beating all the west ern college teams and going east twice in late years and winning from Harvard, Yals, Brown and others. Stagg, who invented the famous sliding ma- chine, will be here for two games on Decora- tion day with the University of Chicago base ball team. These games are attracting considerable attention here becauss both of the Chicago pitchers are Omaha boys. Henry T. Clarke, ., and Scott Brown both went through the aha High school. The University club boys are practicing every evening at their grounds on Twentieth and Miami streets and they certainly look swell in their new white and green uniforms The trip to the coast in August is now almost assured, as the teams there seem arxious to have Omaha come out and are willing to pay well for that pleasure, The club expects to have its own correspondent for the entire trip and a most enjoyable time is looked forward to. Jellen, Lawler and Robinson are pitchers of the University club team. Srawford, who caught for two years for the University of Michigan Base Ball club, will cateh. Henry T. Clarke, jr., the Omaha boy who pitches for the University of Chicago, pitched a game against the Chicago league team on the 3d, and besides holding the score down to § to 2 he struck out the great Anson and made one of the two scores that was made by Stajz's team. Chicago only got six hits off of Clarke. . the There are a dozen names for it—Invalid Chair, Chimney Corner Chair, Fire Chalr, Draught Screen Chair, Great Comfort Chair, Winged Sleeping Chair, ete. But by whatever name it is called there s only one name for the result—luxurious com- fort. It is a chair that is delightful to an aged person or invalid. Protected from all draughts of air, enabled to rest in either cor- ner or lean against the back—enjoying a cushioned seat that is at least 30 inches wide in the front and 28 inches deep, with cush- joned arms, back and sides, it is not strange that one is able to sleep, read, converse, eat, write or doze in this ehair with immense enjoyment. Only five years ago these winged chairs were very expensive. Today we are selling fine patterns, full size, at only $29.00.

This statement was not made in vain, as it Las become a household necessity, and good housckeepers are never with out n package of “Rain Water Maker,” for it saves money and lessens the labor in all kinds of washing, Its Worth Symbolized on the Package. “Rain Water Maker" is symbolized by the savage on the package to its pack- age and true meaning. To all those who are fumiliar with the works of that romantic novelist, Rider Haggard, this figure becomes manifest at once, The Rain Maker of Central Afriea pre- tends to be to his superstitions people what Kirk's “Rain Water Make really is to the civilized world—a wonder, The rain making savage invokes the clouds to give forth rain so that the drouth stricken valleys may prosper, while “Rain V r Maker” revolution- izes the prepa of all waters so that the true tem of economy in washing may be accomplished, to the benefit of the universe, while the public is given an artiele that in rality ushers in a new era in all washings, “Rain Water Maker” will soften the hardest of waters, making all waters velvety and pliable. It will also hold colors from running in printed goods, such as calies ete. It is also inval able for washing flannels and woolens, as it will positively prevent shrinkage. For the bath “Rain Water Maker” is exquisite, as it accelerates the action of soap to remove any superfluous exere- tlons that may adbere to the body. READ WHAT AN EXPERT On Water Says After Thoroughly Testing Kirk's New Discovery and No Longer Be in Doubt as to Lts Merits, Paul Meyen, residing at 1452 South Sixteenth street, Omaha, Neb., an ex- pert on water, having experimented on all kinds of water, especially the alkali waters found in the west, sa “My wife and T have made some thorough tests of Kirk's Rain Water Maker and find it to be the finest thing I ever saw. We followed the directions care- fully and obtained the most astonish- ing rvesults. We have had a wide ex- perience in washing delicate fabries with delicate colors and could never find anything to prevent the colors from running before without using expensive chemieal preparations. Kirk's Rain Water Maker Is a grand invention. It makes the water as soft as the softest rain water, and the clothes washed in wate prepared with this prepara- tion came out perfectly white, and in my estimation and according to the thorough tests we have given it, will do just what is claimed for it. The people are fortunate in having such a meritous preparation placed upon the market within the range of the poorest families. I could not consistently do otherwise than recommend it to every- body. I shall not use anything else as long as I can purchase this prepara- tion.” “Rain Water Make bulk nor is it e to house, sal " is never sold in sv peddled from house “Rain Water Maker” Is on rs—a large two-pound -i, Bicycle Suits to order, $13, 15, $18.
