my game and strength. In the second set
l had him SIS and a score Of 30-love against
him on my sixth and winning game. Right
there I broke and weakened, exhausted,
and finally, after endless chasing, he beat
me, 81, throwing the set to deuce twice.
I was then worn out and a dead one, and
he took the last set, 6-1.
81 feel confident that I can beat Ashcraft
on clay courts, but it is like learning the
game over again to play on the grass
courts they have here. The balls bounce
very low.
Next week 1 play In a tournament at
Lake Mlnnetonka for the championship Of
the northwest. The affair will be on dirt
courts and 1 should stand a better show.

II is most apparent that there was nlch
honor In defeat for Earl Farnsworth In
the Western championship tournament.
This can be seen even in the players own
very modest version OF his experiences at
Chicago. Field club men are confident
that Farnsworth will be up to all their
expectations at the Omaha tournament.
Meanwhile preparations for the great event
are proceeding apace, and the prospects,
are now even better than last week for the
biggest gathering Of tennis opponents ever
held here. All the arrangements for the
event are now in motion and are being
kept up at top pitch despite the fact hat
the affair is still two weeks distant. Great
care. especially, is being given 10 the
courts, in order that no mishap may mar
their perfect surface between now and
August II. Arrangements for entertain
ment are still being conducted on the same
elaborate scale outlined in last Sundays
Bee' and the committee may be eongratu,
lated on the great amount Of preliminary
work turned of.

These games are important, because
should Omaha lose the entire series, and
Denver continue the winning streak, 1t
will land Denver mighty close on omaha's
heels for the lead. II is hardly likely
that such a disaster will overtake the
Rourke family, though. and as. Denver has
six games with Colorado Springs coming
up right after Omaha and Des Moines play
there. Il is probable that a check will be
put on the Cubs. At any rate, that latter
series will give outsiders a line on the
exact nature Of the malady which has
affected every visiting team in the Colo
RADIO towns. It has been called home UNI
piring for want Of q better name.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-07-27

omaha's present winning streak has been
long and we'll sustained. Since the team
left Colorado Springs on June 10, 81 has
played thirty-two games, thirteen abroad
and nineteen at home. OF these twenty
five were won. six lost and one tied by
the Omaha team, a percentage Of .s0s. Four
OF the six defeats we're on the home
ground, which shows that the team Is as
good abroad as II is at home. Hard luck
In the way of sickness and accident has
been sustained without overcoming the
winning stride Of the team. and Il now ap-
pears that, barring the unforeseen. the
pennant is at omaha's mercy.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-07-27

This gives Omaha a batting average of
ZIG for the six games, one OF which was
the no-hit game pitched for Kansas City
by Norwood Gibson. The visitors batting
average for the six games is .202. much
better than omahR's. but not enough so
to win. On the other hand, omaha's field
ing average for the six games was 1865,
while the visitors did but 1881, a decided
difference, which told in the result. In
the Kansas CITY seriee the figures are:

OnhTle NICHOLS Is having a little more
than his share Of hard luck in the way Of
players Just at present. He needs an out
fielder, an in1elder and a catcher. and is
willing to pay almost anything to get
them. He was congratulating himself on
having secured Herman Mcfarland from
Comiskey, when the Baltimore upheaval
came, and Comiskey recalled the loan. Just
at that time Robinson got sick, and left a
big gap at second unprotected. Stats Davis
was given a try, and found weak. Dudley
Risley has been doing fair work on third,
and In the outheld. II a good second base
man could be secured, Rislsy would likely
get the outheld Job when Robinson gets
back into the game. The hard luck is par
tieularly hard, Just at q time when Kansas
City patrons are showing q preference for
the Western over the American and Man
ming and Nichols are especially anxious
to please the people. Nichols Is not dis
c~ouraged, and Is trying In every direction
to get the men he wants, and when ne sue
ceeds will give Kansas City a ball team
worthy the name Dale Gear has challenged
Nichols for a series OF post season games
to decide the merits Of the six rival teams.
1t is to be hoped that Nichols will ignore
this challenge. In the FIRST place. Il will
not settle anything, but will merely serve
to widen the gap by increasing the num-
Der of partisans in Kansas City. Il is not
at all certain that Dale Gear will have a
team when the season closes for the West
ern, and at any rate Nichols can better
afford to ignore his challenge than to lend
the weight Of the Western league team to
draw money into the empty Golfers Of the
American association outfit. 1t isn't the
merits OF the teams so much as II Is the dol
lars the series would bring In that attracts
the Hickeyite magnate to the plan. West
ern league base ball is now on a well es-
tablished business basis, and Manager Mich
OILS can we'll AFFORD to let It remain there.

Read II in His Newspaper.

George Schaub, a well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is con-
slant reader of the Dayton VolksZei-
tung. He knows that this paper aims
to advertise only the best in its COL
umns, and when he saw Chamberlain's
Pain Balm advertised therein for lame
back, he did not hesitate in buying a
bottle of it for his wife. who for eight
weeks had suffered with the most ter
rible pains in her back and could get
no relief. He says: After using the
Pain Balm for few days my wife said
to me, 4 feel as tho born anew and be-
fore using the entire contents of the
bottle the unbearable pains had entirely
vanished and she could again take up
her HOUSEHOLD duties" He is very
thankful and hopes that all suffering
likewise will hear of her wonderful re-
covery. This valuable liniment is for
sale by druggists.

cuarries were washed away, but south
of that the line is all right. The night
train, No. 6, and the morning train, NO.
4, did not reach this city until between
10 and o'clock today.
The greatest damage to the Great
Western was between Reinbeck and
Waterloo, where the tracks We're
washed out. The passenger train from
the north reached the city "Wednesday
evening at GAO, but the morning trains
did not get thru here until this after
noon. No. 9, due out of here for the
north and east at 10:40 D. M. got as
far as Reinbeck, where it was held all
night. Work trains have been speeding
thru the city to the north to aid in re-
pairing the damage.
Northern Iowa division trains on the
Northwestern are again using the main
line tracks between Tama and Ames,
several bridges and hundreds of feet
of tracks having been washed out be-
tween Gladbrook and Clifford. The
worst washout was near Beaman,
where a bridge over Bear creek was
carried away with several hundred feet
CT track
The Central trains from the south, as
well as those both east and west on the
Northwestern, have met with little de-
lay into this point. The storm did not
extend west of Ames, and east of Mar
shalltown was not heavy.
Telephone Service Still Crippled.
The telephone companies We're addi-
uonally afflicted by the last storm, altho
not to the extent caused by the Tues
day storm. There was less wind and
lightning did not create so much havoc
but several instruments were put out
of service and wires were further tang
gled. Communication with the outside
towns and on the rural lines is still i'm
possible.
Telegraph wires north on the Great
Western and Iowa Central are down
and communication in those directions
is interfered with
Almost Tornado.
AS additional details of the storm of
Tuesday night are received it is shown
that the first reports were not eXagger-
ated. In and south of State Center the
evening storm assumed almost the pro-
portions of a tornado. Twenty five
windmills in that section of the county
We're blown down, and large trees were
uprooted or twisted off near the ground.
Crops in many places in the county
We're badly washed.
The heavy rains have delayed culti-
walton of the corn and the farmers are
expecting hard battle against the
weeds.

Bands from Edora, Gearing, Conrad,
Liscomb. the Fraley orchestra and
several other organizations have Sig
,nified their intention to attend the
celebration. The people of the north
half of the county are going to take
day off to attend. Many will go from
Marshalltown. The band boys have
made arrangements by which every
body going on trains to Llscomb can
be transferred to the grove without
discomfort or delay.
The average life of the country
band is limited. Most farmers like
man who pitches hay seldom plays the
cornet. There is as much music in his
soul, but he can't finger 1t out. That
is why the country band is short-lived
and seldom a success But the Bethel
band is the exception which proves the
rule. While not all it's members follow
the pillow it is essentially a farmers
band. 1t has grown from halfdozen
members playing brass instruments to
an organization of twenty-eight pieces
and has played In cities all over the
state.
The Bethel band was organized June
%, 1873. by l.. j. Beeson, who was in
structor for the band for a number of
years Since the band was organizeE
there has never been n time that 1T
could not respond to a call for music.
Web Wheeler now Of Washington, D..
c., succeeded Beeson as director. When
Wheeler resigned Martin Beeson took
charge. He was succeeded by Albert
Arney, and the next director was Jacob
Arney. l.. w. Hauser, the present d.
rector, was elected in January. 1886.
The officers of the band are; L. e.
Boyd, president; J. L. Arney, secre-
tary; Nelson Fiscus, treasurer; l.. w.
Hauser, director; NJ. A. Hauser, man
