ATHLETIC CLUB 1Y " RACE POR NEMBERS 3 Gene Melady, Harry Ryan and John Madden Are Teoding Ar~''-- tion Getters. . DARK HORSE MAY BE WINNER Gene Melady is suspected of having in his possession at least fifty appli- cations all signed up for membership in the new Omaha Athletic club. Rivalry is keen among the captains " of the various membership teams. Melady has turned in to the general chairman, Tom Quinlan, only a few of the signed applications, but other captains of other teams know that he g8 many more in his pbssession. They fear he is holding back a bundle of jokers to flash at the close of, the contest at tire end of the week, in the hope of bringing his team in for first [ place in the competition for new members. . Ryan Going Goo%, Too. Harry Ryan, captain of another * team, is said to have over fifty also, _ and thus far Ryan’s team is looked L upon as leading the contest. John adden’s team, however, has a good bundle, too, and at this stage of the . game there is some question as to whether Madden's, Melady's or Ryan's team is actually in the lead. “With some of the boys holding back memberships to flash at the eleventh hour, a dark horse element is intro- duced into the campaign which makes the rivalry-all the more exciting.

By John Palmer. New York. G. P. Putnam’'s Sons. $1.35. A story with a war-itme setting, but the reader is not taken into the trnches, does not. participate in a charge, and hears only once—and then from a distance—the muffled boom of artillery. It is the life be- rich humor and gyealth of incident are | hind the firing lines, the inner drama heen more fi?Pullf ersonally than conspicuou$. This is & book to be|of a nation’s transformation, that William McKinley. This biography presents the complete record of his achievements, based upon indisput- able evidence and with a full historical background.

UNHAPPY IN THY DARING. By Marius Lyle. New York. G. P. Putnam's Sons. $1.35. The scene of this story, which has won the highest praise from such masters of fiction,as H. G. Wells and A. E. W. Mason, is laid in Ireland, and the action has to do with the growing estrangement of husband and wife, carefuly nurtured by the wife's sister, who finally oversteps herself and becomes the cause of bringing the unhappy couple back to a closer companio?shxp than they had known.

The lesson is not given by preachments. It is revealed in a nar- rative supremely dramatic. MAROONED IN THE FOREST. By A. Hyate Verrlll. New York. Harper & Bros. This story of a modern Crusoe in the far northern forests embodies welcomed by those who find much truth in the off-hand statement that| it is “hard to find good reading for growing girls.” THE ROAD TO MECCA. By Florence Ir- wlln. New York. G. P. Putnam's Sons. $1.35. The mere recital of a woman's struggle for position and pre-emi- nence in the world of fashion would be a sordid story. The tale of what happens to the soul that makes the struggle its one and only aim—that never lets the heart speak, never léts the mind speak, o nany subject save that one—is far from sordid, and it is more than a story. Such a story is “The Road to Mecca.” THE GERANIUM LADY. By Sylvia Chat. ::l;l‘ Bates. New York. Duffield & Co. A love story, the setting of which is an enchanting and perhaps recog- nizable island in the Atlantic ocean. The chief characters are June Carver, who has bought the Betty Latch cot- tage in Bijah's Cove and planted an acre of red fierlniuml about it, and Lietitenant Miles Hawthorne, a re- tired young naval officer who Hhas rented a deserted far mon the island and is there recovering from an acci- dent on his battleship.
