Omaha will probably not be represented
in the fifteenth congress of the American
Whist league which is to be held at the
Auditorium hotel, Chicago, July 10 to IA,
and which bids fair to be the banner con-
gress Of the organization. The whist club
in Omaha Is practically a thing of the
past, the club no longer having rooms in
which the members meet Reports from
Boston, New York, Baltimore, Scranton,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit Grand Rap
ids, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Racine, St
Paul and other whist centers show that
the entries for the Hamilton Club trophy
and the team of four championship con-
tests will exceed those of any previous
meeting Chicago is a central point and
the managers infer that the entries in the
opeE event will also exceed the record Of
previous congresses
Omaha will be well represented at the
fifth annual championship tournament of
the TransmississippiG Golf association, which
will be played on the links of the Glen

Thursday. Those going from Omaha are:

All aboard for the city tents champion
ship matches, which are to start on the
Omaha Field club grounds July To- The
handicap tennis tournament is over and
some good tennis was seen, but 1t was
not a marker to what the city champion
ships will bring out, when the players
from all OF the clubs get together to do
battle for the championship Of the city in
both singles and doubles for men. The
first annual city championship was played
in 1889 when Doane and Gulou were the
winners and has been an annual event
ever since. The singles will be played first
and all of the entrys should be sent to
Billy Woods or given to the desk secretary
at the Field club. The winners of this
tournament will have TO play Conrad
Young, who won the title last year and who
will defend the same against the winner
this year. The winners of the doubles
last year were Caldwell and Young and
they will have to defend their title against
the winners of this years tournament.
The present challenge cup given by Ma
Whitney & Ryan, has but two names en-
graved upon It, Caldwell. winner in 1903
and Young, winner in 1904 This is a beauti-
full $50 cup. and must be won three times
| by the same player before It is to be given
into his possession. The Omaha Field club
| has given cup for the doubles which
must be won twice by the same team be-
( fore ownership passes. This has been
/ played for but once. and was won last
year by Caldwell and Young. All Of the
/ tennis organizations OF the city are groom
/ ing dark horses for the tournament and
/ some surprises may be expected. The
Young Mems Christian association courts
| are In splendid condition and are in daily
use by the players of the club. Other
/ clubs are not making much Of a stir but
have players who will enter the tourney.

Scribner, who has been playing hard all
spring at the University Of Nebraska, is
touted by the wise ones as the probable
winner OF the tournament and on present
/ form will give Conrad Young a hard run
for the title OF city champion. The veteran
/ at the game Will nave 70 look 10 MS lduftls
OF he will not be city champion after the
scores are all In. DR.. Schneider. Herb Cohn
Fred Dufrene and Bill Woods are all play
ing fast game and will be in TO the finish
Many of the younger players as Rainey arr
coming fast and may furnish the surprises
OF the season. 1t is probable from the pres
ent interest that the entry list will b.
larger than It was last year. when there
were ifty-two who entered for the honor
OF being called the champions OF Omaha.
