The final score was £y to 424, but it does not tell the true story af the meet. The quarter mile fun furnished the most exoling atruggle of the'day.

The quarter mile showed good time, 0: but, the 120-yard hurdles was probably the leader in this lime. Harmon breasted the finixh tape, 0:16%. He made this time in spite of the fact he was set back two yards for a false start. In the 100-yard dash Smiley would prob- ably have won if he had not lost his stride near the finish. He carried off the by pne of his sprints in the last ten yards. In the half mile Hull set the pace und made the first quarter in i seconds, three yards ahead of Amberson of Nebraska. He finished a good fifteen yards to the goo. The mile was & good race, and proved tho enly one in which Minnesota carried off both places.

NEW YORK, May 15.—Opinion seems to be general that the action of the Ardsley Club in providing a lawn tennis profes- sional for its members is a step in the right direction which should be followed by the other clubs. In no other game is the teaching end neglected as It is here All other sports have professional instruc- tors or coaches, themselves taught by pro- fessionals, and new players are coming up all the time. In tennis, however, players have to teach themselves, except on oc- casions where some markable aptitude for the game, and then the experts unbend and do a little coach- ing. With the engagement of teachers of the game the experts will have to look to their laurels, and will not have thelr own way in most of the tournaments throughout the country ‘as they have in the past. The complaint has been general among elubs that there are no new players of ability coming up to take the places of those who retire, and that for many years one set of men have been called upon to defend the cups here from foreigners, and gp to the other side, or even to Australia, to repre- sent America. Nearly all of the ranking players are In business, and cannot al- ways find the time to practice as they and then when thelr services are they have to devote more time than they can spare to getting Into con- dition, and then comes the cry that no youngsters are coming up tp take their necessary, It other clubs follow the example of Ardsley, there will soon be & new crop of tennis players who will give the older men a strong argument, and it will be only a question of & year or twp when there will be dozens of promising players where there is one today. Approval of this plan was given today by many tennis players who have made good players out of themselves by watch- ing some of the‘cracks play, studying the way the different strokes are made, and then trying to use them, but they say the men who have the advantage pf having an instructor to give them a few suggestions, plus what they pick up from watching the cracks, ought to make very good players. A champlon of a number of years sald: “It would be a great help to the men be ginning in the game, as it would give them a good start, which counts a great deal, and, instcad of falllng all over the court, it would give them an idea how to handle the racquet and move about the court, and with this good fourdation a rapld move- ment would certainly follow. If all the other clubs would adopt the same plan it would be a great thing.” Another player of many years, thinks that the idea of having an in- structor would be a great help, said: “An instructor Is all right, but there are a number of men who would not want to glve up thelr strokes and start to study those of the teacher. The Instructor would help a lot in the line of glving suggestions, but in trying to teach his men to use his way of playing would not suit a number of men, but an instructor wpuld help a eginner a great deal.” “A man can make & good player out of himself, if he has an instructor to look after him, taking his suggestions and watching the cracks play; and, putting all | together, it would certainly be a great help. If all clubs had tennis instructors it would be a great ald to beginners,” said another ex-champion. STAY IN AMERICA who | TROPHY TO | | Many Owners Have Tried to Take This Prize Across the Pond. | NEW YORK, May 18.—One of the notable | automobile prize trophies of the world Has | found a resting place in New York. It never left the United States, the American car was always too swift for its forelgn competitors. The trophy in question is that presented by Sir Thomas R. Dewar, former mem- |ber of the British Parliament and high sheriff of London, who is well known | throughout the world as a man who takes # kean Interest in all departments of manly sports. 8ir Thomas Dewar was a visitor to the Florida beach In 1905 and in that year he gave a $2000 trophy, to be known as the | Sir Thomas Dewar trophy, as a mile in- ternational prize, open to all cars of any | country. or manufacture, provided they should come within the then heavywelght limitation of 2,204 pounds. The first con- test for the trophy was held the fa- mous Ormond-Daytona beach, now known as the Daytona beach, Florida That year England sent over Arthur Macdonald, a famous speed driver, with @ ninety horsepower Napier, to capture the trophy, but he had to compete against such motable drivers as H. L, Bowden of Boston, E. Russell Thomas, the New York ex-banker, with his ninety-five horsepower | Mercedes; Paul Sartorf, with a ninety horsepower Fiat; H. W. Fletcher, with an cighty horsepower De Dietrich, and the fa- | mous Louls R. Ross of Boston, who drove {a lttle Btanley torpedo-shaped steamer & mile in 0:32%, defeating all the big gaso- line-powered cars. Sir Thomas dubbed the | Stanley steamer, “Tea Kettle," be- | cause of its funnel on the top of a low- | bullt torpedo-shaped body, through which the steam came In a great cloud. The next year England sent over Wal- ter Clifford-Earp, with an eighty horse- power Napier, and again America tight- ened Its hold on the trophy when Fred Marriott drove another Stanley steamer in the world’s record time of 0:28%, which has never been approached since. Ghevro- let, with a 20 horsepower Darracq, came the nearest to Marrott In 0:30%, and a few minutes later Vietor Demogeot, with the' 20 horsepower Darracq, drove a world's record for two miles in 0:58¢. Owing to the reluctance of the internal combustion engine manufacturers to enter cars agalnst what were termed “freak racing machines,” the cup was not com- peted for in 1907 and 1908 The board of trustees at last recelved a letter from the Stanley Motor Carriage company relinquishing its claim to the trophy: so it was decided that, as the rules have been changed materially since the cup was donated, it should be put up last winter in Florida and become the ab- solute property of the winner. The big Benz racer which Hemery drove into sec- ond place at Savannah for the grand prize gold cup, and which was only one minute behind the winner in the 40-mile race, was sent to the Daytona beach by the Benz company, it belng entered by Hugh MaTntesh. the famaus Australian sportsnu David L. Bruce-Brown, the young New York mil- lionaire amateur, to drive it. Bruce- Brown easily captured the prize in 0:33 PURDUE WINS FROM INDIANA Defeat on 1aied .

This man Olson is a& big as Goteh and he ought to make the champion work a little. He has thrown Fred Reell, who ir rated on a par with Farmer Burns, and next to Gotch. Olson i& young, strong and active. He was a cowboy in his younger days and, In fact, until very recently. He came by wrestling accidentally. Tusseling with a broncho one day, his pals observed a powerful exhibition of strength and told him he ought to be a wrestler. He had the mustang in a corral and was trying to saddle him. Tt was in the course of this process that he threw Mr. Mustang to the ground. But he will have hold of a tougher propo- sition than this broncho in Gotch. Olson is one of the men who keeps in good trim. Unitke John Perrelli, who lost easily to Gotch a few weeke ago at the Audi- torfum, Olson has a pride in his work. He belleves that some day he will be the successor of Gotch as world’s champlon Manager Gillan of the Auditorfum Is making plans for high class preliminaries for this match. He may be able to induce John Holden to meet Oscar Wasem. Both these men are good, Wasem being a higher grade professional and of longer experi- ence, but Holden thinks he can throw Wasem, and has not thus far consented to meet him. Wasem is willing to make any sort of wager that he can beat Holden. Local fans hope Holden will agree to meet Wasem and settle the old score, It is also probable that two big police- men will go on in the preliminaries, and maybe Farmer Burns' son. Raymond, and a youth from Council Bluffs. This is to be a big event in the line of wrestling. Turks Still After Gotch. Gotch {s still being pursued by the Turks. Since he beat Youelff Mahmout 0" com- pletely at Chicago, Antoine Plerri, the fm- porter of Mahmout and every other big Turk for the last fifteen years, has been wild in his efforts to land a man to beat Goteh, and he comes now with a line of talk from Europe, via malil, that he has a man who can down the American. This is what he sald Mahmout would do, so the American public will walt until the last fall to form fts judgment Upon leaving Chicago with Mahmout after Gotch had quickly given Mahmout his quietus in the Dexter Park pavilion champlénship match, . Manager Antoine Plerri confined his remarks to this one: “We are. beaten fairly and squarely. Mahmount met his master. But we return to Burope, and I expect to bring back a Turk bigger than Yussiff, the unbeaten, who will throw Gotch. I'll get Gotch vat if he dares enter the ring with the wrestier I bring over.” In & letter recently from Manager Plerri, who was at Strasburg on May 2, the wrest- ling promoter ives the information that an Asiatic pasha has Hassan Morat in charge, and that Hassan has beaten every opponent who dared face him at catoh-as- catch-can. “Hassan Is big," writes Plerrl. “It will cost me & lot of money to get him away from the pasha for the trip to the United States, but T'll get him and arrive with both Mahmout and Hassan some time,in September. Hassan s afraid of no man in the world. Gotch looks to him no more than scores of men he has met In the last year. Mahmout, honestly, looks al- most a pygmy compared to Hassan. TIl send over $1,00 to post as a forfeit for Gotch to cover if he will meet Hassan." Gotch's representative today could not speak for the Towa farmer. The latter, however, said recently that he intended to retire next fall, after going to Australia to wrestle George Hackenschmidt at Mel- bourne “:= a $12600 plum, “‘win, lose or araw.’ @ addition Gotch Is to get three round-tri; tickets to Australfa. HARVARD AFTER CORNELL SCALP Sweep Swingers Are Bending Their Work at Cambridge. BOSTON, Mass . M2y i5.—With the mem- ories of the six-length victory over Colum- bla's eight in the recent two-mile race on the Charles river, Harvard's sweep swing- ers are bending to their work, hoping to overthrow Cornell's varsity in a like man- ner. The defeat of the light blue and white showed Harvard undergraduates that they have'a boat every whit as powerful as the one that trounced Yale so severely on the Thames last summer. The work in the Columbia race demonstrated beyond a doubt that the crimson watermen are steel- nerved veterans and powerful athletes The false start did not unnerve the Harvard craft, and when the nervous Morningsiders paddled back to the starting line the Cam- bridge men awalted the pistol shot with supreme indifference. But it will be a different proposition on May 31, when Coach Wray's men journey up to Ithaca for a two-mile race on Lake Cayuga with Cornell. Coach Courtney is issuing the usual fine line of ‘bear stories” from the Cornell camp, but Ha vard is not to be caught mapping and will enter the contest keyed to the highest pltch. Last year the crimson watermen ran away from the Ithacans in a two-mile race on the Charles, and Coach Wray fs extremely anxious to repeat. As for Courtney, he is laying low, doling out tales of hard luck, yet withal determined to score a victory over the orimson eight with his red and white. Harvard 1s preparing for the race in | earnest. After having rested the week fol- lowing the Columbia contest, the oarsmen resumed practice and hard and prolonged work has characterized every drill. The varsity is rowing with the same smooth recovery and powerful leg drive that was shown in the Columbia race and is rapidly rounding into excellent form. This year the crew appears to be rowing with a shorter and snappier stroke than it did in 1%8. It Is & question whether it s safe to follow this apparent policy of developing a two-mile stroke for preliminary contests when the Yale race, the blg event of the season, is four miles. Wray is confident, however, that he has a versatile boat and that no evil results will oceur from pre- paring his men so particularly for the early season short-distance rows. In any event it will be & powerful crew that will face the Cornellians on May 3 and the race bids fair to go down in college athletic annals a8 ones of the best that has been contested between the two universities.

PAYS OUT WELL Last Day's Attendance Biggest of the Season and All' Hands Well Pleased with Experience Gnined, “The ‘Omaha electrical show' is a fixed annual event,” said Manager Gillan of the exposition and the Auditorfum Saturday night when he closed up shop, after count- ing what proved to be the largest number of paid admission tfeWéts taken ‘n during any single day of the'show. Saturday was the tenth and last day. “The Blectrical Exposition eompany Is now incorporated,” hé went on. “and we hope to make the enterprise bigger and better every year.

According to Mr. @fllan, the show breaks evon financlally this time, and with a lot of valuable equipment, lights and decora- tions pald for. He says that next year entertainment of a sensational and spec- tacular character will be provided along with the more refined and high grade at- tractions, such as they furnished in the way of music this y The women will be given more attention in the future, ac- cording to the plans, a complete electric kitchen and dining room being confem- plated among other things. City Electriclan Waldemar Michaelsen who has been a constant worker, said last night: “We are especilly gratified on ac- count of the attention the show and Omaha are getting from the papers and magazines, especially the big eastern electrical pub- licetions. The Wiectrical World, for in- stance, devotes five pages of pictures and written matter to the show and the city gets advertised from it. Dr. Millener's triumph will make it one of the most widely advertised shows ever held." “Exhibitors are more than satistied with the success from a sales standpoint,” de- clared I. B. Zimman, contract agent for | the Electric Light company and one of ' the men who made the show a reality. | “The industrial power booth showed In minfature to Commissioner Guild and other Commereial club men what the proposed indutrial exposition would be like." Before leaving for Cincinnati Saturday night Miss Blanche Mehaffey, who sang twice dally throughout the show, remarked, “I ke Omaha and the electrical show. They're all right."
