TENNIS COMES TO THE FORE
local Interest in the Game Revives
and Many New Players
Are at Work.

This spring tennis is pushing itself to-
ward the front until it begins to over
shadow all other forms of sport in the
number Of people who are actively en-
gagged in the playing of 1t. While only a
few courts are as yet ready for the players,
oPurts are being planned for or are in
actual process OF making on all sides. The
HNSt hot days OF summer will find forty
courts in the city and fully $50 players.
While the greatest Of the work is being
taken up by clubs and groups OF people. a
number Of the courts are private. Many
OF these private courts are not really good
courts, but they will tend to act as a great
stimulus toward the Advancement of the
game, as they will give their owners a
wonderful opportunity 10 practice con-
tinuslly and much oftener than II they
had to rely entirely uRon club courts
for the opportunity to play.
Local dealers. both wholesale and retail,
in sporting goods declare that the sale OF
tennis supplies this year Is already greater
than that OF last year, which was the best
year for tennis that Omaha had seen in
six years. They have bought for local dis
tribution 1000 rackets and already the
stock In some OF the grades has run low.
Other supplies have been bought as freely,
Entire new equipment has been bought for
many OF the old courts and others have
bought equipment for courts that have had
their inception this year.

IneSe VIII pc IN a way a SORT OF prepare
tion for the larger tournament in August.
At the Field club the greater number OF
the better ennis players are conferred, and
all that we're there last year are with them
this year again, with the exception OF only
one. From the crowd Of youngsters, for the
players at the club number 200, a number
Of good men are expected to develop, and
there is little danger Of the game waning
there.
The four courts which the Young Mems
Christian association has placed at Nine
teenth and FaTnam streets are an access
sion to the courts Of the city, for none
were there before, and last year the assoc
citation had no courts. Now they are to
have 100 men playing through the cool,
bright mornings, and the long summer
evenings on these courts.
The men themselves are mostly OF the
younger set, and few Of them are ex-
perienced players, but one never knows
but what some Of the best men may be
making from this very class.
Years ago there were Ave courts to the
west Of the Metropolitan club on Harvey
street, and they were famous as the Metro,
politan courts, but they have not been
used for some summers. Many men IA
nous in the history OF both western and
eastern tennis. in the years gone by, have
played matches on these grounds.
Now q coterie OF young men about town
have gathered together and are planning
10 place four courts where the i've once
were. Little work H. necessary to put thu
courts in condition and but for a little
darkness and dampness the courts will be
as good as any in the city. with the ex-
eeption OF the tournament courts at the
Field club.
A few OF the members are experienced
players and all Of them have, In the past,
played tennis to some extent. Once cor
ganized, they are going to work hard and
intend TO enter in the tournaments as they
are played from time TO time.
AS yet no name has been given this club.
but it is probable that 1t will be known
as the Metropolitan Racquet club. and will
be continued into the winter as a social
organization.
The Shriner courts, a few blocks up from
the Metropolitan courts, have been reduced
to two this year and are being put into
shape for play. The membership this year
is about the same as last, but has been
cut down to ten, which is all hat the
courts are able TO accommodate.

as to taste and nutrltiousness. is not in,
ferior to corned beef" The Chicago Jour
nal adds some still more wonderful details
regarding the discovery Of mustard and
boiled cabbage in the same neighborhood:
when the cataclysm occurred the beasts
who were canned. so TO speak, we're graz
ing on a field Of mustard, and the grinding
OF the glacier pulverized the mustard,
favored 1t with the oil of the animals and
impregnated their flesh with It to the
queens taste. As for the boiled cabbage
and boiled potatoes, they evidently grew
uncooked in great abundance in those days.
for millions of them are found within half
a mile Of the corned beef mine, boiled and
kept hot by hot springs, in which this re-
gion abounds."

MANAGER TELLS OF ROBBERY
EDDIE Robinson Insists that Clarence
English Didn't Get Fair
Treatment.

Manager Eddie Robinson, for Clarence
English, was in town the other day talking
about the fight pulled of In Kansas City
a week ago last Thursday night. 1T was a
palpable steal" he said, and showed a
number Of newspaper clippings to back up
his statement.
THE whole thing" he declared, was ar
ranged so that English could not get the
decision without his giving Yanger q clean
knockout blow. Even the newspaper reports
that went out from the Kaw were garbled
more or less. Everything was fixed and
there was no hope for Engl sh from the
start. The refusal Of Ysnger's manager to
even talk Of another fight at once, despite
the purse Of 5000 we offered, goes to prove
Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-26

that they are afraid Of another bout. 1t
was English's fight all the way through and
the, crowd knew 1t. Why, when the fight
was over the crowd surged down on the
stage the minute the decision was given to
Yanger by Bardell and only the policemen
saved them from the crowd, which was so
frantic and calling names and threats after
Bardell and Yanger.
"The old talk about condition is an old
one and everybody laughs when you begin
1t, but the truth Of the matter Is that Eng
lish was not in condition and had not been
for a week preceding the fight. When he
went in he was wobbly and after the first
round was tired out, but laughing. Yanger
couldn't punish him. It was his own efforts
which were wearing him out. But he was
game and would nave stayed long enough
to put Yanger to the bad II the fight had
been for a longer number of rounds.
'"The crowd was with English from The
start and you won't find many who saw the
fight that won't declare that it was a pal
pable steal. Some Of the papers came out
the next morning and declared that 1t was
the biggest steal ever perpetusted in the
annals Of the ring and they were not far
from right.
THE athletic club know that the thing
was not slThlBnI anu nave pEhCllcdllg aG-
knowledged 1t by giving us the pick OF the
men that English is TO meet on May Is
We picked o'Keefe, and he has been signed
for the fight. o'Keefe is a welterweight
and is a good man. Not as good as w
might want, but II will be a good fight"
Whether English was beaten out Of tbs
decision at Kansas City is a moot question
and there is a great deal OF indecision al
to IT.. However, English proved himself
one Of the comers in the ring in this fight
He was fighting under adverse conditions
and forced the fighting az all times. He II
only 10 and young in experience, has nerv,
and is a steady fighter. With a few NOR,
years added TO his head he will be one o
the hest men in his claus in the country
When he was here with Robinson the othe,
day he looked as Mt as a fiddle and stronl
as a bull. II has a good reach and stands

the ring at Kansas City he had a record o
thirty-elght k~nockouts and decisions to hi
credit and never O draw. His hackers wert

In it's parent among many people who had

club held the Four-State Tennis tourna-
ment in Omaha and interest was strong.
The home people took hold OF the game
and were soon fond Of 1t again. The older
players dragged their rackets from the dark
corners OF closets and garrets and new
players focked to the standard.
Practically all of the club courts that
we're crowded with tennis devotees last
summer will be their haven this summer.
They are being leveled of and smoothed
up preparatory to the starting OF the game.
At the Field club the six courts are being
put in better shape than they were for the
tournament last summer. Two Of the center
courts are being supplied with a brickbrat

An engineer on a Kansas railroad has
MADE a request to be allowed TO run faster
than slxty-hve miles an hour, because a
jackrabbit has been making fun Of him on
his run. A jackrabbit Is noted for its
speed, and this particular jack, II seems,
has been in the habit OF coming out Of his
burrow, Just south of Olathe, Kan. when
he hears the flyer coming early in the
morning. looking up and winking at the
engineer. and then, throwing back his long
ears, racing alongside the track. He seems
to know that the engineer may not run
ahead Of his schedule, so he keeps up only
a fair speed, but at that he often gets on
the track in front Of the locomotive, and.
putting up one foot to his face, spreads
out his toes and makes a sign perfectly
familiar TO all small boys, which is ex-
pressive OF the highest scorn and d~erIsion.
This is a true story and vouched for by a

NEW GAME IN ENGLAND
Known as Tambourello and is a Rival
to Lawn Tennis.

The newest outdoor game is called by
the somewhat euphonious name OF
tambourello, says the London Mail. II
derives this name from the instrument
Of the play, which is nothing more or
less than a tambourine The game is
played exactly like lawn tennis, the dif-
ference being that in place Of racket
"a tanbourine Is used.
But this difference is a big one, as
anybody who has ever played lawn ten
mis- will readily understand. That the
game has prospects Of becoming popu-
lar is evidenced by the fact that two
clubs have recently made application 10
the London County Council for permis-
sion TO play tamhourelo IN the parks
under the Councils control, and this
permission has been readily accorded.
The physical exercises afforded by
ltambOurello is considerable, and to hii
the ball with such an awkward instru-
lmcnt requires n remarkably stroni
wrist. Nothing but practice can de-
velop this particular type, which vii
later. no doubt, be known as the tam
bourello wrist. The tamhourine. by th'
way. If the player so wishes, can h

lend q musical accompaniment 10 th
game. The sounds produced by fou
players with Dell-ntted tambourine

game that to the lady player woull
probably prove particularly attractive
While tambourello viii probably be-
come very popular among the gentlel
sex. men viii also find IN the game

easy TO become an accomplished player
Beginners find it very hard TO return
