DRIVING CLUB DOING WELL
First Meet of the Association n Sue
cess and It's Repetition
Expected.

The Omaha Driving association had
most successful opening of the season
week ago Saturday and feels highly elated
with the prospects for the summer. With
more than 100 members in the association
and the year still young there is every in
dication of a growing popularity in fast
horses and driving in the city. The horses,
too are a little faster and finer than have
been on the local track before and all OF
the old members are driving with a little
more certainty and cleverness than before.
The new horses this year are certainly an
Improvement over many of the old ones
and they are bound to add interest and
uncertainty to the outcome of many Of the
races. Everything is being done by the
association to make the races pleasurable
for the people and the grandstand has
been put in first class condition and every
thing done possible for the comfort OF the
spectators. The races are all entirely free
and no admission is charged at the gates
An attempt lie being made now to have
a band in the grandstsnd during the races
to while away the minutes between the
heats.

LITTLE TEAM AND BIG PLAN
Union stock Yards Juniors Going
Forth on n Long Play
ing Trip.

The trip through the central part of Iowa
by the Union Stock Yards Juniors Base
Ball club promises to be one of considerable
interest. Manager Ellis has arranged
schedule which includes the important
towns along the Chicago & Northwestern,
Rock Island and the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy, between here and Des Mones.
The club will leave next Friday evening.
June 26, making it's first stop at Malvern
on the Burlington, and will be gone until
July II. On the Burlington they will play
ball at Malvern, Alton, Red Oak, Creston
Osceola, and possibly Charlton and In
dianola. At Des Moines they will start west
over the Rock Island. playing at Stuart
Anita, Avoca and Atlantic. At Avoca they
jump across to the Northwestern, stopping
at Carroll, Denison, Woodbine and Logan
on their way in to Omaha. This trip will
require $50 miles of travelling and is more
extensive than those taken in previous
years. What kind of ball the team will
put up against the Southwestern Iowa
league and other strong Iowa teams re-
mains to be seen. This is the third year
the club has been together, and the boys
should put up a fast game. So far this
season they have bumped UP against the
fastest teams in the city, and have man
aged to break even. Those who will make
up the team for this trip are: Charles
Miller, Walter Hachten. Dale Talbot. Mar
Gus Adams. Finley Mclean. Earl Millett,
Grant Caughey, Antoine Lott, Louis Fer
guson, Kimball Yoder. Frank Mcmahon,
Frank Quinn and Ray Bonner. If figures
count for anything the following percent
ages show that the Juniors are not only
fielding well but are also good with the
stick:

AUTOMOBILE GROWS IN USE
Local Owners Get Service A. Well
as sport Out of Their
Machines.

Few persons realize how rapidly the auto
mobile has grown more and more into
general use this spring and summer. But
II has grown, both in numbers and popu-
larity. until now there are about seventy
fve machines in Omaha and many en-
thusiasts whose great delight 1t is to bowl
along smoothly and evenly on the streets
and country roads. 1t is not generally
understood by the general public that the
edict of the city council against fast auto
mobile driving on the city streets not only
met the approval Of the greater portion Of
the automobilists, but was fostered by
some of the most prominent of them.
There has been a custom, which has grown
up with some of those owning smaller
machines, to press them to their greatest
speed whenever they were out in them.
These persons have been in the minority
and 1t has proven of a great deal Of bother
and modification TO their brother drivers,
who were saddled by the public mind with
the faults of the few. The heavy machine,
which is built for touring purposes over
rough country roads, is not a popular ma
chine in Omaha. 1t has speed and is the
ultimate dream of the automobile lover S
heart, but the cost and necessary skill to
operate places IL above the reach and
desire of the larger number of the en-
thusiasts who have placed their hope in
the lighter runabouts, both gasoline and
electric.

FISHING DRAWS ATTENTION
sport of the Quiet Man Comes In for
nm Unusual Degree
Just Now.

This is the time of the year when the
heart OF the city dweller turns to the
country with its quiet and it's loveliness
and. what so natural as the cool shades
of the banks OF the streams and lakes
where the trout, the bass, the pike, the
croppy and a hundred other kinds OF FISH
are ever present. 1t is idleness with a
purpose. Knee deep in the grasses OF the
pastures you tramp to the borders of
those quiet pools and shady nooks where
the fish are the easiest lured. What II the
FISH be lacking or II they will not bite. or.
biting, cannot be caught? 1t is the Joy of
the country. large and sweet, that draws
the angler out from his soft and downy
bed to the hsrdships and eIigencies of a
welcome camp life.

MOTOR AND BICYCLE RACES
Louis FIescher Backs n Plan 10 Re-
vive wheel Racing on
Local Tracks.

plan is on foot now, with Louis
Flescher back of IT, to arrange for a series
of automobile. motor cycle and bicycle
races within the next month. either on the
track of the Council Bluffs Driving asso-
citation or Of the Omaha Driving associa-
tiou.
This will be a welcome step on the part
of those who are interested in the racing
machines. and the list of entries promises
to be quite large. There has been con-
siderable discussion among the local auto
mobilists as to the merits of their re-
spective machines and The races will give
all of them ample opportunity to prove
the value of their assertions. There are
half dozen motor cycles In Omaha and
Council BLUFFS, all capable OF a speed of
thirty or forty miles an hour. and they
will give a wonderfully exciting race. This
race will probably be five miles in length
and there may be a shorter race with the
same machines II the owners desire 1t.
With the automobiles it is the intention
to have several mile races with the cleo
tries the gasolines between four and eight
horse power and the larger machines, and,
latterly, a five-mile handicap for all classes
OF machines.
The bicycle races will be one, two and
three miles and the list OF entries in these
events promises to be quite large as a
number of outsiders from Iowa and Ne
braska towns have slgnihed their desire to
participate. These races will be held in
the different classes, the amateur and pro-
fessionaI and messenger boys.
II the first series OF races proves a sue
cess and the people show an interest in
them an attempt will be made later in the
year TO have a second race of the same
class and to make It an annual feature
afterWard.

The women have shown little interest
in tennis in Omaha this year, with the
exception of a few who play on the st.
Croix courts on open nights and a number
who play at the Country club. At the latter
place the game has become almost a mania
and every morning finds the two courts
continually in use. With Mrs. Stewart as
the head of the enthusiastic players there
is little doubt but that the club will turn
out several very clever players this sum-
mer and an attempt will probably be made
a bit later IN the season to have a ladies'
tournament for the beneht of the few that
have taken an interest in the game.

OF all the faraway lakes and rivers. there
is probably no place this year which is so
alluring as the Sturgeon river. 1t teens
with trout and bass, and, for the man with
little time to fish. it is as satisfactory as
any place that has been tried with the
rod, the reel and the fly this spring. But
wherever the fishermen go this year, they
find the fish hungry and willing to bite on
anything that is placed on the hook. From
flies and spoons to minnows is a far cry,
but the fish are equally willing to be
shared with the one with the other
and the hunter is taking all kinds of ways
to reach them and not trying to FISH ac-
cording to book or rule this spring. 1t is
the fish they are after and they are getting
them.

AS for ish, they are everywhere this
spring II the tales brought back from the
lakes and the rivers be not less truthful
than usual And to make II even more
certain there are strings upon strings of
bass, pike and croppy ever present with
the returning fishermen. From the far
lakes OF Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa,
where the FISH are great in numbers. the
local fishers have come and tell great
tales OF the old spots more plentiful with
fsh than ever before. But there are fish
even closer TO home. Cut on lake, Manawa
and the smaller Nebraska lakes are giving
forth their quota OF fish In twofold num-
bers. Bass. pike and crOppy are all strung
together and even the insistent seining OF
the market fishermen has failed TO thin
the lakes so that the man with the rod and
the line cannot reach them and come home
with more than tales Of those that bit but
were not caught

Another little trip that shows the value
and pleasure in the heavier machines is the
jaunt that Emil Brandeis takes every even
ing out to his farm at Calhoun. 1t is
eighteen miles away and he makes the run
in from forty-five minutes to an hour and
eats his dinner on the farm. Before it
grows dark he can wander around the

II. Z. Fredrickson is the first local auto
mObiist to try his hand this year at
long run through the country. With his
large eighteen-horse power Peerless gaso-
line machine he started out last Saturday
afternoon and took a party of friends to
Fremont, where they spent the night. Sun
day morning they started from Fremont
bright and early and made no miles by
noon. 1t was a delightful day and the
roads were in superb condition, so that
the full JOY of the drive was felt, and they
came in late Sunday afternoon with 2lO
miles of dust-covered roads behind them.
Now Mr.. Fredrickson is planning a far
more extensive trip. About the middle of
July he intends to start from Omaha and
make the run to Denver in three days and
spend two weeks rambling with his ma
chine through the mountains Of Colorado
and then make the run back again over
the same route as he went by. The whole
trip will take about three weeks and will
prove the real delight of a heavy touring
car II 1t proves successful.

The tournament at the Field club last
week held several surprises to those who
have not been watching the tennis players
this year. Two new men sprang to the
front remarkably. d. Pollard was some
what better known than A. Scribner, but
his play at scratch was remarkable. De-
spite a slight nervousness. he played a
wonderfully consistent game and showed
points Of championship play continually.
He is very steady for a new man and plays
the most graceful game Of any man at. the
Field club Scribner is a newer man than
Pollard, but carried his first two matches
away in championship style He is very
fast on his feet and places the ball well
Con Young played very fast game al
of the time during the tournament despite
his heavy handicap, and does not show any
! signs of weakening from his old position
as the leader of tennis in Omaha. When Il

laurels will probably depend more on hin

A straight week OF corner-lot ball play
ing hasn't helped the Omaha position in
the standing table. II seems almost In
credible that the men who played such
magnificent ball last season should be
guilty of the crimes against good judgment
that have been committed in the name OF
Omaha this year; but they have. Now and

The first tournament OF the year Is over
and another is already at hand to please
the tennis enthusiasts of Omaha and every
thing points to most successful tourna-
ment on the St Croix courts. On Friday
there were already thirty entries in the
singles and more than half as many in
doubles and another day for the entries to
come in. One of the beauties of these en-
tries was the fact that they were from 50
many different tennis organizations about
the city. Scarcely an organization Of any
size did not have several entries in early
and the four men who played in the semi
finals at the Field club last week were
all entered before the entries were more
than a week old With the four fastest
men in the Field club handicap and the
fastest players from the organizations OF
the city, there is little doubt but that this

prove memorable event in the annals OF

knew, and have in one short winter
descended from the position OF premiers to
the condition of beginners Frank Genns

peer OF any ball player who ever walked

and resource he is unsurpassed today. and
any team ought to be proud to follow his
leadership Eddie Hickey is a veteran who
knows the game backwards, and Johnnie
Gonding is unequalled as a schemer in a
ball game. Yet these men have allowed
themselves to be beaten game after game
by beginners, men who have not yet more
than passed the primary grades in base
ball education In vain is the reason for
this condition sought. AS far as that is
concerned, we don't care a continental
about the reason. II the boys will only
brace up and do what they are capable of
doing, all will be forgiven. and the fans
