latter part OF this week, beginning probably
on Wednesday. Following this there will
be several other tournaments Of a like
nature and also open city tournaments In
preparation for the Interstate tournament
to be held in August. While this covers
only Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska
there will be a number Of outside players
from Chicago, st. Paul and Minneapolis
to enter in this. When It was found last
week that Collins and waidner would prob

AVERAGES.

The chief feature of the week just passed
was the number of Western league games
stopped by the rain. Omaha succeeded in
pulling off three and lost two. Des Moines
had practically a blank. Denver and Colo
RADIO Springs managed TO keep the grounds
dry enough to play their schedules out. In
the American association the games were
also much interrupted by rain. but this
didn't seem to affect the public to any
great extent, for the Hickey league isn't
drawing as we'll this year as 1t did last.
In the big leagues the race is going on with
the same rush and the teams about in the
same position. Frank selee got his Colts
into the lead on Monday, and lost It again
on Tuesday. Second place was good enough
for him to. return home in. as he went
away in third. Yesterday mornings game
landed him in first again, and the probs-
bilities are that he will stay there for a
time. as he has a long series scheduled on
the home grounds now, and having taken
tho MEASURE of the other teams in the
league, Chicago ought to easily maintain
its prestige until called on for another tour
at least. The games at New York, with
the exception Of the last one. were not such
exhibitions OF base ball as had been hoped
for. due TO the fact that both teams were
overly-anxious. Chicago made the poorest
showing in the first two, losing both on
errors hat would not ordinarily be made.
In the final game the Colts pulled them
selves together, and showed their true
form, playing all around the McGraws.
It's a little early in the season to award
the p%ennant. but II isn't too early to say
that the winner will have to settle with
Chicago. This Is true Of the American
league as we'll.

These Samples Show,
SOME COMBINATIONS TO PONDER OVER
Astonishing Results Obtain by MAX
ing Nine the Pivot Around
which All other Fig
ures RevOIve.

One often hears what a queer figure some
men cut under certain circumstances, says
the Chicago Tribune, but there is a genuine
figure which cuts more capers than all the
queer men in Christendom could cut in a
lifetime, How 1t is able to do the many
stunts it does is apparently inexplicable.
1t is the figure 9.
Give 3 a test, for instance, by multiplying
it by 2 or any other figure above 1 till Ii is
reached, and then use IL II you care to, and
the addition of the result OF each multiple
cation will be 9, just as sure as fate. Now,
off-hand, multiply 9 by itself. Nine time .
is 81, isn't It? Add the results plus 1 is o.
Make a leap to any big number you please,
For example, multiply 6,S42, $50 by 9. What
is the result2 Here it is, this long string
of figures, 61,5S6,S3S. Add the figures of this
string together. The result is As. Well,
plus 5 equals 9. Figure 9 has bobbed up
s%erenely thus far, hasn't It?
Here is another sqeezer. II you try TO
corner 9by using its own digits against Vt
self, it will euchre you. Now, just see how
II does it. Jot down on a bit of paper any
row of figures, big or little, for 9 doesn't
care a snap, and subtract the digits-in
other words, the total resulting from the
addition of all the figures in the line-and,
utterly Indifferent as to what figures you
put in a row the digits of the situation ad.
ded reveal 9, Put down, say, S,754,S94. By
adding these figures you get as a result IS,
Now deduct that IS from the row Of figures,
In table form the doings of 8 will be plain

Add that total. 1t makes So. All right
3 plus 6 equals 8.
Isn't that kind of doing enough to puzzle
all figures of speech" let alone ordinary
prosy language? But here is another amaz-
ing caper OF 8. Leaving out the figure S,
make a row Of figures from l to 9, inclusive.
Multiply any one of them by 8. Then null
tiply the entire row by the sum thus at
tanned, and, II you are a millionaire, you
can safely wager a million dollars against
a scent piece that the grand result will be
composed exclusively of the figure in the
row that was especially picked out to be
multiplied by 9. For proof, suppose you
want a grand total of IS; simply multiply
3 by 8 and use the result CD as the null
tipller:

Once more unto the breach. Our friend 9
has a great trick which will delight anyone
who. say, at a little sociable. would for the
time being like to pass himself off as a
lightning calculator. All he need do TO ar
rive quickly at his grand total of a table
of five rows is to put down the figures he
sees on the top row. with the exception of
the figure on the top of the right hand col
umn. Instead OF hat figure he must put
one down which is 2 less than 1t. II, for in
stance, the top figure is a 4. he should put
down a 3 Then, invariably prefacing the
grand total with a 2, he has the correct
answer. In case the row ends with a figure
l or a cipher. as 81 or so. the two figures
would be changed to 10 or As, respectively.

or other form Of applause. The rule that is
applicable to the theater is certainly good
for the ball park. and the umpire ought to
feel that he Is getting on lightly to be
merely Kissed. II will be a long time be-
fore tho patrons Of the game refuse to sur
render the privilege Of telling the umpire
he IL rotten when they think he is. 1t is
all right to curb the rowdy players, but the
man who pays his money TO see the game
is entitled to the privilege Of expressing his
feelings, and has as much right to hiss as
he has to cheer. Umpire batting is not
nice, and Is not to be commended. In
Omaha It has never been popular, but IT Is
asking too much of human nature to ex-
pect It not to give vent to expressions OF
disgust at some Of the decisions we are
occasionally asked to stand for. Any at
tempt to suppress kissing from the stands
will simply serve to keep patrons away
from the park.

Indeed, 9 gets in its weight even where 1t
does not necessarily belong. If anyone
takes the trouble to multiply 142, S57 by /,
. 3, 4, 8 or 6, the same figures, 142, s57, and
none others, will crop up, but in a different
order in the line. But If you invite 7 into
the family as a multiplier, 9 will deliber-
ately get at the head of the table and coolly
make the grand total consist of himself ex-
clusively, a result not one of the other
figures than 7 as a multiplier can enable
him to accomplish. Here is the proof of it,
however. that 7 is a silent partner of 8:

the third and fifth rows himself. In doing

RAIN HAMPERS TENNIS MEN
Deluge of the Week Not Only Pre-
vents Play, but Damages the
Courts Materially.

The rains OF the last week have not only
hindered the tennis players, but nave cut
deep burrows in some OF the courts and in
other ways have hurt the courts, so that
several days will have to be spent in re-
pairing them. But the week Of idleness
has started the players to talking of the
advancement OF ennis in the popular mind
this year and there is a we'll defined feel
ing that a city ennis association should
be formed. 1t is argued by those who are
fostering the sentiment thai with half a
dozen tennis centers in the city there
should be a central body to arrange for and
undertake the handling OF city tourna-
ments. AS II now is, many of tho clubs
interested in tennis are arranging for
tournaments among the clubs in the city
during the summer months, but there is
always the possibility OF conflicting dates
and arrangements under such circum-
stances. With a central body. the tourna-
ments could be held every two weeks or
oftener II desirable and all of the clubs in
the city could and would enter. There
would be several cups and prizes and the
city tournaments would acquire a character
that would aid materially in the continuing
Of the present popularity Of the game.
Without a doubt the most of the tourna-
ments would be held on the Field club
and St. Croix courts, as these courts are
among the best and can accommodate more
people than any others in the city. Both
of these clubs are expecting to hold a num-
Der of city tournaments during the sum
mer and the idea of organizing is strong
with many of their members. 1t is felt, toe.
that these tournaments will give the play
ers the practice and understanding that
they should have for the interstate tourna-
ment in August. Each player will have a
clearer idea Of how he compares with the
other city players, too, and It is felt by
the older heads that the association should
be started.

There is nothing extraordinary in the fact
that all the grand totals consist of nine
figures, still, 1t does seem queer hat in null
tiplying the figure l by Q the cunning 9
gets, without assistance from any other
figure as a multiplier OF 12,S45, 67s, a grand
total of Is. However, in multiplying any
one of the other figures to get a total con-
