THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, AUGUST 3, 1902. BASE BALL GOSSIP OF WEEK Western Loague Race Warming Up for the Home Btretoh, OMAMA STILL LEADS THE PROCESSION Week with Hold on Second Place, Other Teams Are Play- ing Good 1 strom, but Guessing contest: If all the games were played in Denver, which team would win the pennant? Let's talk about something else. In passing do not overlook the point that Parke Wilson pald Omaha the very high compliment of not trying any of his Mosk- or McCloskeys or Lempkes against He stuck to old-time tried and fire-tested “Pop” Eyler, who has won every game he has pltched against Omaha for three seasons, and Whiteridge, who is also as good as they make '‘em. This is an ‘honor not often accorded a visiting team In Denver. Another comforting feature of the disaster is the fact that all Den: praised the playing of # Omaha team, especially for its flelding. at series of four games will Jong be re- membered by the Queen City fans as the finest exhibition of the real thing jn base ball they have ever seen. Omahba will not have to encounter that mountain hoodoo agaln for a month, and if that month's playing 1§ as propitious as was the last, the Rourkes will be safe and needn't worry. d Kansas Oity b shown the effects of the changes In the team during the last week, losing to St. Joseph by small mar- gins in closely contested games. Charlle Nichols has secured a couple more men for his team, an finfielder and an aqut- fielder, and when “Rabbit” Robinson gets back into playing form the Manningites are going to make a strong bid for a higher place. St. Joseph ls still putting up the in and out article of ball that has marked 1ts career during three seasons. At times the team takes a spurt and plays like a bunch of winners, and then it slumps and puts up a miserable game for a few da; For this reason it s not likely to get very much higher in the percentage column than it 1s. Milwaukee has taken on strength, both in batting and flelding, and it Duffy will only make his men play ball with their hands and not with their mouths, he will land In the first division bunch. Peoria has dropped out entirely Owner Bart- son dropped his high salaried players in the interest of economy, thereby weakening the team, and making his hold on.last place a cinch. Colorado Springs isn't giving any evidence that it will higher up than at present, and more than likély will finish lower. “‘Organized ball,” as it is tondly referred to, has receélved a very severe jolt during the last féw weeks in the conduct of Man- ager Frank of Memphis. Frank signed Bt. Vrain, the Wa tried by the Chicago Nationals and set adrift. seattle claimed St. Vrain and the Natlonal Board of Arbitration ordered him turn there. - St. Vrain stuck to Mem- d Manager Frank continued to play him. Frank's league flned him $100 and ordered him to release St. Vrain. Frank ignored the order and the fine. Next steps were taken to expel the club from the Southern league. then got an fhjunction to' prevent this action- and the whole matter went into court. . Just about the time the hearing was to come off the motter was adjusted. Frank still holds his franchise and St. Vrain. Just where ‘“organized ball” comes in in thie case fsn't apparent on the surface. It looks more like disor- ganized ball. Still another phase of base ball is to have airing In court. Andrew G. Freedm: who owns the majority of th stock in the Baltimore base ball club hi cited Byron Bancroft Johnson to appear in court and account for all monies he has taken In or puid out on account of the Baltimore team. It would bs really funny it it should so develop that Ban John- son bas reorganized the Baltimore team on & paying basis only to make money for Andy Preedman and John T. Brush. Ban Jolmson is now trying to locate an American league club in Cincinnati. Charlle Nichols couldn't resist the temptation, and has accepted Dale Gear's challenge to play a post-ceason series of gamés to decide which of the Kansas City teams is the better. This action on the part of Nichols is to be regretted for many reasons. It will settle nothing, and will only ncrease the number of partisans, while much doubt .exists as to whether it will be & finanolal success. FPost-season games rarely are, and have generally- been aban- Goned. Five months of- closely following the fortunes of the home team is lon enough for the rage fan, and when the last schedule game is played off he is usually willing to quit, and doesn’t care to be dragged into. a controversy concerning which he cares but little. Nichols will lose but little if the proposed series with the Gear team falls through. Omaha was outplayed la Colorado, ac- cording to statistics. It le well in contem- plating the batting averages to make al- lowed for that, as it s not sufficient to overcome the showing made by the figures. For the trip the statistios are: Omaha a batting average of d a flelding average of .920 for tho games, as againet .265 and .930 for the combined opposition. In the Denver series this record was made: AB. L1 2 Omaba a batting average of +194 and a flelding average of .949. Denver averages are .248 and 934, showing that Omaha outplayed the Grizslles in the feld. At Colorado Bprings the record made is Omaha .. Colorade” Bprin This gives Omaha & batting 190 and a flelding average of .904. .284 and .900. There's mighty little con- solation in these figu: but the showing for the individual work ot the team is even less satisfactory, as will be noted by the following figures: BATTING AVERAGES, R Last Players. moneaRRERERS FIELDING AVBRAGES, 0.

Mass, Aug 2-The two English players, R. L. and H. T. Doherty Droved 100 strong today for one of the beat American pairs, R D. and and won 'the doubles in three sets to one. the Wrenns, by keeping the bail high in the air, seemed to have a trifle the better of the play, but the Englishmen, resorting to the same tactics, beat them out. The 8core was 48, 7-5, 62, 6-2. While this match was in progress W. A. Larned, the present national tennis cham- plon, and one of the Amerjcdn team who Wil play the Bngllshmen. wext weak for the Cadis trophy, was being beaten by one of the coming Young players, William J.

DEUBERRY STILL IN THE LEAD Twenty-Second Infantry Man He: Competitors Fort Leavenworth. Around Fort Crook and with the people at Beadquarters who are in a position to know about the merits of the contestants in the annual competitive shoot of the De- partment of the Missouri, Archie Deuberry, first sergeant of Company B of the Twenty- second infantry, tioned at Fort Crook, Is looked upon as one of the men who will represent the department in the army competition and it is predicted by some that he will come close to the first prize. With both of the regular target contests m ed, Deuberry stands in the lead, but those who have followed the competitions in former years remind the younger men that the score at the regular targets mean little and point to the fact that the best of them will have to count with Sergeant Wey of the engineers, the only distin- gushied marksman in the competition. The real test, say the wise ones, will come in the skirmish firing when it is touch and go, with little time for sighting the plece. They recall one army competition when the wi of the gold medal stood sixteenth on the list when the competition at regular targets had been ended, and say that Ser- geant Wey, by reason of his longer ex- perience, may fool the younger men at the skirmish firing. At the same time Deuberry is not & new hand, although he has never attained the rank of “distinguished marks- man.” With the Second regiment, when commanded by General Bates, Deuberry was on the department team.

SSEARSS, o IIAn IA.I FOR A BIC TENNIS TOURNEY Field Olub Has Its Plans All Well in Hand at Present, DELAY IN STARTING A REAL ADVANTAGE Committes in Charge Looks for m Large Entry an Has ‘a Magnificent L1 Prizes for Winners. Confidently A week’s postponement of its Interstate Tennls tournament has proven & great boon to the Omaha Field club. While the committes had all preparatory arrange- ments at such a tension that thinge would have been ready and shipshape to the dot on August 11, the day at first set for the beginning, yet those seven days between then and August 18 mean, it is considered, a great deal to tho affair. In the scope of that one week are held the probabili- ties and in somo cases certainties of larger entry lists, better entertalnment, hand- somer prizes, and therefore of a tournma- ment a little improved all around. In connection with the dispensation of the national assoclation, allowing the change of date, has come to light another matter of Interest. The tournament here has been extensively advertised by the Field club as being for the ehamplonship a, Kansas and Missourl. to whethet or not this definite description of the pur- view of the tournament need necessarily obtain rigidly. The question was put to the national association, and it has re- sponded that such detalls are entirely in the hands and at the will of the tennis committee In charge of the tournament. The committee can do just at it will, can admit anybody from anywhere, no matter how it has advertised the event. For All Com In pursuance of this information the tennis committee held a meeting late last week and decided to have the tournament a free-for-all affair, an open event. This means that not only the players from the states named, but those from any other part of the country, may enter at will, and be eligible equally with Nebraska This ruling should have material lect in widening the effectiveness of the entry blank fleld, and the fact that it is to be an open tournament will be heralded far and wide. . “For the managers of the event,” sald one of the committee in charge, “perhaps the most pleasing feature of all is the fact that we have plenty of money to do the thing right. So many of us have had ex- perfence with our previous tourneys herd and have confronted so often the proposi- tion of how to give 2 first-class tourna- ment on a tenth-rate financial basis, that the mere idea of having plenty of money is & joy. “We were glad to get that extra weok. I think it will mean a great deal to the prizes. You may know that it take good while to properly burnish and el orately engrave a massive plece of silver. and we wish no rush jobs. The extra seven days assures us that the work on the cups and other trophies will be of the handsomest. Then, 00, we can now put the prizes on exhibition in Omaha a few days, and that will be quite a feature. That mass of silver stuft will make a striking windowful. ‘Working for Entries Now. ““We are now bending. our efforts mainly to swelling the entry lists. We h-“ things so far along now that we are ting hold of the Individual players tldm— selves. We have them logated all over the country and are conducting personal correspondence with them. First of all, we are working up Nebraska. The four good tennis towns in this state have al- ways been Omaha, Lincoln, Hastings and Grand Island. We will canvass these thoroughly. ' Of course Farnsworth will be here from Grand Island, and there are & lot of old-timers down at Hastings, such as Bernhardt, Balley, Powere and Deuer, whom we will stir up. From Lincoln we expect Fred Shepherd and G. A. Loveland of the old guard, and Isaac Raymond, ‘Jr., of the younger ones, besides probable oth- ers. Those three are crack players, all. Omaha will not be backward with its en- tri ‘Outside the state the work is also being pushed. We hope to draw well from Sioux City, as we have put off our tournament in recognition of the ome there, which begins August 13. Ernest Baker, the star man there, writes that probably four will come down from the Hawkeye town. In Missouri we look mainly to Kansas City. From there we hope to get the well known pair, Carter Wilder and F. B. Sheldon. They vaske & great team in doubles, and ‘Wilder is a star at singles. Kansas offers & big list. There are the Eberhardt broth- ers at Salina, Frank and Fred, state champions in doubles, while Frank s a listed player in singles. At Atchison there are such fellows as W. W. Guthrie, jr., Charles Sherwood and John Price, whom we hope to get headed this way. Finally at Arkansas City Is W. G. Parker, an old band at the game. Grounds in Fine Shdpe. “On grounds we can give them all cards and spades. The tournament will be run in & businessllke way. There will be no delays for any cause. A ralnstorm wiil stop us only as long as it rains, for the salamanders will dry the grounds in a very short time afterward. The courts will be perfectly marked with board mark- ers, insuring a solid line exactly two inches wide and perfectly straight, “Preparations for entertalnment are not lagging We will make the visitors think the Fleld club is & pleasure resort. What with smokers, banquets <and dances, we will keep them busy while they are not playing tennis.” It develops now that several Omaha ten. nis players will take a hand in the Sioux City affair, beginning August 12. F, Hill, 8. 8. Caldwell and Jerome McGeé lll anticipate going. The three are good play- ers and Hill and Caldwell were strong rivals in the city tournament of last week, fol- lowing each other up to the semi-finals. Besides these Earl Farnsworth and Ike Raymond will be there to win their cups in singles and doubles for the last and decisive time 1if possible. Kansas City Comes Next, “And then where?" is the talk that fis already start: meaning whe! players go after the Omaha tournament is finished. The answer seems to be *“to Kan- sas City,” for & very neat Mttle open affair is scheduled for that place, beginning August 27. Kansas City has had many such events in the past and always good ones. J. 8. Chick, Jr., is In charge of the present one and he can be found at 716 Delaware street, Kansas City. It s thought that & number of the Omaha entri will follow on down there, and if Kansas City does the right thing and sends some players to Omaha the Gate City will recip- rocate in kind. The city tournament which just ended has been remarkable in more ways than one. Probably the biggest feature was that It brought out twice as many entries as any otih held e. This speaks w2l for tennis, well for Omaha and well for sports here. Another sallent polnt is the large proportion of the players who were new players, so to speak. Of the eight who lasted to the fourth round three were men who had never been entered in a tourna- ment before. Iu other words, they could not be classed In the old guard which played the game in the '00s. The fact that new players are becoming so proficient is better proof of the reality of the tennis rpvival than the fact that so many new ones are playing it. MATINEE AT DRIVING PARK Tri<City Amateur Drivers Have Good Afternoon of Racing and Fu Some very good time was made at the matinee races by the Tri-City Amateur Driving club at the old exposition track Saturday afternoon, but as spectacles few of the events were satisfactory. The horses seemed green and. nervous and un- used to the track. Races that started weil and at the second quarter promised a close finish ended in a long, sparsely-settled string that was wider spaced than a cireus arade In ' a country town—reason, all ut one of two of the horses had ‘‘broke,” gone to pleces in some neck-and-neck rub that was too strong for their nerves. Locket, & popular _favorite, who was beoked' to win in the class C pace, not only broke in the second heat, but actually bucked like @ cayuse. Her movements were brisk and_energetic, but, unfortun- ately, vertical. She lost the race to Gov- or. was the plebelan name of a Uttle black gelding pacer, owned by M. E. Weatherbee, who was entered in the mixed trot and pace class. No one thought much mall. Nevertheless he came out second in the second and in the third—went Into the barn. That is iiterally what Fred did just after the judge sald “Go." He seemed to have had enough of racing somehow and when he came to that hole in the fence that 1s just opposite the stable door he took the bit between his teeth and paced through it. His driver pulled him back upon the track and he resumed the race a3 though nothing had happened, fintshing a good third An interesting and somewhat unusual di- version was furnished by thres loose horses and a 3-month-old colt - that had been turned out to pasture in the infield. The keeper sald he never knew them to get out of the infleld before, but Saturday Rfternoon they leaped the hurdle to the track seven times, where they took the role of the ‘‘driverless wonders, fllll!hil’ln always in & strong gallop ahead of the B Tom _ Dennison's beautifully matched team, Lucky Jim and Durade, hitched to an elghty-pound Perren wagon, made a quarter mile in 3 seconds and took the outside of lhe track for it At that.

Consultation Free and Confidential (ON YOUNG TENNIS WINNER Veteran Oaptures Oity Ohampionship Trophy Through Steady Work. FINAL MATCH BRILLIANTLY PLAYED Fred J. Hill, Runner-Up, Shows Good Form and Gives Winner Ample Opportunity to Extend Him- Conrad H. Young yesterday evening once mofe captured the Omaha city tennis cham- plonship by defeating Fred J. Hill in three straight sets. The match was the final round of the tournament, which has been in progre through the week on the courts of the Omaha Field club and it was the unanimous verdict when the piay was ended ihai uo finer tennis had ever been seen from local players. A good assembly of club members watched the games. In the afternoon, in spite of the sweltering heat, Young beat R. E. Sun- derland and Hill defeated Linn Sherwood. The first named pairs were in court shortly after 3 o'clock when the sun was at its hot- test and from the start there was never any doubt as to the outcome. During the first set Sunderland was very wild, starting with a double fault, and only occasionally succeeded In properly returning one of Young’s balls. In the second set, however, he pulled bimself together and kept the score very even from start to finish. Young hardly once exerted himself, as he might baye done, but for all that Sunderland was hitting with much precision and fis e titled to full credit for the stand he made against a man so far his superior at the game. The heat seemed to affect him more than Young, yet he allowed but few balls to get past him without a strong effort to return them. Sunderiand’s Style of Play, Sunderland's weakness 15 his inability to hit freel, d his lack of any decided stroke. He “pushes” his balls, getting un- der them, and frequently too close to them. If he could hit with more of a swing to his racket he would have had difculty with the hard balls that Young sent at him, and might have captured his second sct. He seems almost equally at home with forehand and backhand, volley or lob or drive, but mone of his strokes have any particular winning power, and when he gets & ball that has some force in it, he too often fails to get it well onto his racket and although his purpose is good the re- sult is a failure. The Hill-Sherwood contest was greatly spolled by the heat. Although the score shows a fairly” easy victory for Hill, was not playing his game and at one time was on the point of withdrawing. Sher- ‘wood made some brilliant strokes at tim but his game also lacked the vigor which be is accustomed to show in the court. Though not in the front rank, even among the local men, @herwood hits well, some of bis backhand plays being especially neat in their execution, and his play duri; the last week is suficient to warrant the assertion that if he allows himself the necessary practice he will be able to climb higher on the ladder of fame in local teunis circles. Young and Hill started in soon after 6, with John W. Battin as umpire and Will Vaughan and Aubrey Potter watching the lines. As Hill had .shown himself able to at Young in practice games, and as he had come through the previous rounds of the tournament with the loss of only cighteen games, where Young had lost twenty-three, the result was by no means a foregone conclusion and from the word g0 both men played for sil there was in them. Hill won the toss &nd elected to take the south court. This gave the ser- vice to Young, who with a couple of vig- orous balls, one of which came back into the met and the second out of court, took the score to 30-love, and the game to 30. Hill took the mext game on his service, but this was all he got In the set. So far Hill had hardly got into his game, and Young was_ hitting freely and accurately, placiog the balls where it was difficult for his opponent, with all his length of limb, to get well hold of them, and everything seemed to be coming his way. Hill Shows Hiz Form. The second set cpened with a game to each, both losing their services. The third me reached deuce four times, finally fall- ing to Hill. Then Young made it two-all. By this time Hill was showing his best form and had Young apparently rather demoralized. In the six games which fol- lowed the score of two-all Young put fif- teen balls out of court and drove five into the net. Hill put eleven into the net and six out of court, Two or three times a ball which was needed to give Young a game went a few inches too far and the score reached five-all. The contest was a very even one. Both men were playing the same kind of a game, returning the | balls straight across the center of the net | to where they came from, and for a time there was iitiie of suprems merit i strokes of either of them. Young, however, braced up at this point and took the mext two games, with only two misplays, and the set. Betore starting the third set the players took a rest of several minutes and when they returned to the court they were both much fresher and their play was of a de- cidedly more spirited character. Hill took the first game to love, the fourth to 15, the sevénth to love and the elghth to 30. Young captured the other six—to love, to deuce once, to love, to deuce tiice, to deuce once and to 30. In.this set Young won by skillful placing, some of his cross- court plays being especlally brilliant. There were thirteen balls which Hill was unable to return at all, while Hill only sent three balls which Young failed to reach. Analysis of the Play. Taken as a whole the match w fairly contested and though beaten, Hill made a good fight, capturing a total of 89 points out of the 200 played.
