Five desperate innings to a scoreless tie battled the water base ball nines rep- resenting the Omaha Aguatic club and the Council Bluffs Aquatic club at the Council Bluffs Rowing assoclation yes- terday afternoon before some 800 persons, who lamped the proceedings with con- siderable glee. Ae the end of the five frames each and every athlete was com- pletely on the blink, as it is sald chasing the cork ball around the water is auite | exhaustive, Mayor Dahlman was on hand to chuek {the first ball, just like in & league ball | knme. | Moats six feet square, the mayor refused to take any chances and he threw the pill from the dock, where there was no chance of skidding into the brinv deep. The game is played just like base ball, except, as before mentioned, the players stand on floats and swim after the ball and fro mbase to base. Thinking that the batters would knock the ball too far, some far-seeing youth sawed off the bats. Then it was discovered that with the short sticks the bell couldn't be poled much farther than second base Pete Wendell, formerly swimming in- | structor at the Central Christian association, is coach Omaha team, and he swears the game to be played this afternoon will be no tie. Wendell has a hunch the Omaha crowd will hammer the daylights out of the Bluffs crew. Wendell plays centerfield, as that is the position where the fast swimmer must be when a natatorial Sam | Crawford takes a healthy swing. « | The game this afternoon will be called at 3 o'clock, and the regulation size bats will be used so that the ouffield can do | little hustiing.

After many vears of neglect of its great opportunities as the center of a blue grass region which is rot second even to the tamed pastures of Kentucky, Omaha this summer will have {two opportunities to greet the trotters and pacers in action The Omaha Driving club will have the honor of restoring this city to the itiner« ary of king horse, America’s most pop- ular entertainer, when the gates cpen at the new speedway for its meeting, to be neld August 6-6-7. There the trotter and paces and his owners, drivers and thouse ands of friends will find a fine new rac- Ing plant, including a fast and safe track |and modern and up-to-date buildings. These are a part of the big spesdway in East Omaha. The second race mewting ot the year will be held by the county fair assoclation at its new grounds. Racing on the Const. One of the greatest features of the San Francisco exposition s the biggest harn- ess racing meeting over held anywhere in the world, where every day a fortune in purses is hung up for the racers. Thousands of lovers of the horse cannot see these wonderful ruces, but here's the greatest news In the sport line thet Omaha has heard In many years, A number of the best steeds which now are nacing in San Francisco are coming to Omaha to grace the Omaha Driving club's opening meeting and to bring thousands of spectators to the local tragk by the magic drawing of their names and ln.n performances.

In addition, Peterson is boosting the Omaha meeting and reports excellent prospects that several well known sta- bles :fll send representatives hmun Augus ' [ .

That Omaha has always lov..d the trotter has been proven many times by huge crowds who have traveled ma:y miles to see him perform in other citics. That the metropolis will greet his adve it at the Speedway with enthusiasm is ol ready assured, according to reports y. - celved by the live business men wiin comprise the directorate of the Omala Driving club.
