The directors deserve no end OF credit
for the success OF the show. In the face
of such apparent unsurmountable dim
culties as the absence OF DR.. Grey just
at the crucial point and the breaking Of
the arm OF the secretary when he was
carrying so much OF the detail. the show
was carried right along by the harmonious
work OF the director. Mr., Halter was Sc
cured and took up the work where DR..
Gray had left or He introduced several
very novel features in the way OF adver-
Using, which were quite eirective. He
looked after the country press under the
direction OF Mr.. Alfred Darlow, and no
show was ever more thoroughly adver-
tised From the opening night II was evil
dent that all was to run smooth during
| the week. for Director OF the Arena Aus
tin was the right man IN the right place
and looked after all OF the details con
nected with the ring. He saw that the
horses were put In on time. that the band
played when needed and that the bugler
sounded his horn at the proper moment.
He had full charge of all the attendants
/ around the ring and looked after every
thing connected with the pulling on Of the
| show. Too much credit cannot be given
! to Austin. and this the directors recognised
/ and noted on many occasions. The specta-
tors probably did not notice the man behind
the gun. but he was always there never
theless. He leaves today TO MI the same
position st the Kansas City show. And
so the show went on with dash and vim
and the large list OF splendid horses made
I a show that pleased all who attended, and
the directors will receive every encourage
ment to repeat the performance next year

Roller polo Is rapidly growing in favor
here. The game IL a strenuous one and the
players command big salaries. No money

OUTFIT.
A challenge for an inter-city bowling
match is likely TO go from Chicago to New
York during the coming winter. Phil Wolf
one OF the mainstsys Of the previous New
York teams, has moved to Chicago and Is
expected to aid the Chicago men in their
work this winter. Chicago has met New
York on the alleys three times-once in
Chicago. once in Toledo and once in Cleve-
land. Each time the New Workers have
been victorious. But this year with Wolf
and three other good bowlers-Brill, Steele
and Bruck-the Chicagoans expect to have
very strong aggregation.
Arthur +. Duffey has stated positively
that he has run his last race and will
never again be seen in a public sprint con-
test. II the Georgetown man is firm in his
intention to quit athletics for all time, then
the public has seen the last Of the foremost
Splinter OF America and for a long period
the deetest man in all the world. He is the
only amateur to accomplish a feat consid-
cred impossible-that of running 100 yards
In 9% seconds. But at the an
nual track and field meet of the
intercollegiate Association Of Amateur Ath-
letes of America held at Berkeley oval in
1902 Duffey proved equal TO the task, and
under atmospheric starting and timing con-
ditions that were unquestionable. For gem
erations the speed limit possible to a man
over 100 yards OF ground has been point
frequently discussed, and various opinions
were prevalent. Not few held that some
time big leggy fellow would come out Of
the woods and do nine seconds fiat, and
these enthusiasts were laughed at for their
prophecies. AS early as 1874 some fast
times were credited to sprinters. George
Seward, a professional and a native Of
Hartford, Conn, covered the distance in
81 seconds. and these figures adorned
the record tables for years until
an investigation revealed the fact
that the record was made by the runner
taking flying start. Seward subsequently
went to England and beat all OF the profess
SIGNALS there. For a number of years
Harry E. Buermeyer. one Of the
founders Of the New York Athletic
club. was credited with a record of sA
seconds, but at his own request this
was removed from the books, as he thought
he was never really capable of such speed
and that the timers must have made a
mistake,
Omaha daily bee., 1905-10-15

AS showing the lack of experience, and
consequently the lack of nerve that handi-
caps the American drivers in long races
like the one for the Vanderbilt cup, the
appearance Of the men before the start of
the elimination trials is worthy of note.
One driver tried to start with his brakes
on and damaged his car. Another had
trouble with his gears and most all the
men showed extreme nervousness. Even
Lyle, who has had more experience at
racing than any other man in the race,
was not at his best. Dingley, who won the
race with fifty horsepower Pope-Toledo,
and Jardine, the Cleveland driver, showed
great composure. while for a new hand
Robertson showed up extremely WE'LL

which will Of course, be much more eco
nomical The rather novel idea expressed
by this man will give encouragement to
those inventors who have been trying to
build motors that would use kerosene or
alcohol.
Omaha daily bee., 1905-10-15

After the introduction of the champion
ship meet in 1876, when the use of timing
watches became more general. and the
measurement of the courses was usually
made with more care, phenomenal times
for the hundred were not so frequent. The
first amateur to show ten seconds was w.
c. Wilmer, who won the championship on
the old Mott Haven grounds. Wendell,
Myers, Waldron, Ford, Westing and Sher-
ril followed with similar figures, but the
Amateur Athletic union championship in
1890 showed Hugh owen, jr.. OF the Detroit
Athletic club with a record OF 94b
seconds at Analostan island, Washington,
and people said It was a mark that would
stand the assaults of time. Records of ~
seconds were made by Crum. Wefers. Rush.
Maybury and Sears. The reception became
monotonous until the bright day in May
when Duffey wiped out all previous marks
and set UP figure which is bound to take
some beating.

Whatever the opinion as TO the su-
periority OF the teams. as indicated BY the
outcome Of the post-season games, the fact
has been established that the American
people are interested in base ball beyond
anything else. No sporting event I'm the
history OF the country has ever attracted
the attention bestowed on the games
between the Giants and all Athletics
Daily the bulletins OF the contests were
flashed throughout all the land, and each
bit OF news was eagerly watched for nv
thousands OF devoted fans II Is certainly
a marked tribute to the hold the game has on
the heart OF the American people Another
most enjoyable feature is that. despite the
intense interest and unauestioned zeal with
which each team entered into the contest.

The outdoor athletic calendar for the
year 1905, from which the last important
page has already been torn, will show many
red letter marks where sensations have
developed. Most remarkable in year of
none too brilliant performances. were the
defeat OF Archie Hahn by Parsons of
Portland; the downfall Of Ralph Rose at
the hands OF that remarkable shot putter,
Wesley Coe; the splendid achievements of
John Flanagan. the discus throwing OF
John Garrels and Martin Sheridan of New
York. The championships, while good
records were made, witnessed a one-sided
team contest; many of the events were
walk overs" for the winners. Dissen-
sions have arisen in the ranks OF the
A. A. w. which threaten to disrupt IT,
but 1t is believed that things will come out
all right in the future. The champions Of

hibition Of rowdyism and the like were
not on exhibition. Partisans Of the Ameri-
can for many days had been parading their
charges OF misbehavior against McGraw
and his team, and telling what would
happen II the leader OF the Giants started
on any Of the tactics that have made him
notorious. McGraw has won a large
chunk OF fame by showing that he can
play ball and behave himself at the same
time. He proved in the strongest possible
way that the allegations OF rowdyism
against the Giants have been more inn
aginary than real. All in all, Il has been
great triumph for the sport. and
greater triumph for John j. McGraw.

Real autumn weather has ushered in the
bowling season in earnest and, although
the league had anticipated the real bowling
season by a couple of weeks, the barrier
OF warm weather has been removed and
the bowlers are at work. The summary
of the league teams shows a vastly inn
proved league over that of last year, the
teams running far more even. The women
have responded very well to the invitation
of the association to make use Of the alleys
during the morning hours and the crowds
are such as to practically bar the men

Tire troubles have caused many auto
mobile races to be lost and although the
sharp turns on the Vanderbilt course pres
aged a lot of such difficulties for the drivers
1t is a matter of general satisfaction among
Americans that American tires should have
come through without the least bit OF
trouble. OF the ten cars that started only
one had any trouble at all, and that was
because the corner was taken too fast and
the car skidded into a pole. Not even a
puncture delayed the other cars that
whirled over the course at from forty to
eighty miles an hour. Dingley, the winner
of the race. averaged about hfty-seven
miles an hour for the entire distance
