Sporting BreyitIes

The principal sporting event at the Horse
snow VIII be the potato race I'm which
pete at a time. This is an event full of
life and fun.
Fish Commissioner O'Brien is making
quite hit with the fishermen Of Omaha
by continually stocking Cut on lake with
members OF the finny tribe. People OF
Omaha are beginning to realize that Cut
on lake is an ideal spot for bass with the
heavy underground and some beauties re.
Gently have been caught.
One thing is certain and that is there
will be plenty of roofing at the Creighton
Bellevue game next Saturday. Both schools
have easy access to the park. where the
game will be played and both will turnout
en- masse. Creighton has a brass band. the
members of which are supplied with uni
forms and this Is a great help in the noise
making line besides furnishing good music
between times.
Nebraska has hard game on it's hands
Tor Saturday, when the Ames team from
the Iowa Agricultural college. will be the
doors a month earlier than most instftu-
tions of learning and the members of the
team have just that much advantage In
preparation for the games which are 10
follow. The consequence is the teams that
have to meet Ames early in the season are
vanquished, although later in the season
they may have the better team OF the two.
Ames has shown up we'll this year and on
this showing the rooters are banking on a
victory next Saturday.
The match game of golf between two
teams OF the Omaha country club selected
by e. III. Sprague and F. II. Gaines as
captains promises to be the center of at.
traction in golf circles next Saturday Botf
captains have used great care and tudg-
ment in the selection of their teams and
both, being among the most enthusias tic
golfers in the city, will leave no stone un-
turned to win the victory. While the prize
is simply supper at the club to be paved
for. by the losers still much more Is al
stake. After this informal banquet the
president of the club, +. II. Sprague. will
present the various cups and prizes which
have been won during the year Golf is
an uncertain quantity and no game is sub.
ject to such a reversal of form among the
players. Surprises are the order of the
day. although there were many who were
not surprised when Jerome Magee won the
championship from Sprague Abbott.

HOW ONE MAN SAW ONE BIG GAME
Railroad Department Manager Get,
Away from once Cares.

former Omaha man, who is now we'll
up in the railroad world in Chicago, saw
the White SoX beat the Cubs al the West
Side grounds last Thursday, and this is
how he did it, according TO the Chicago
News:
A certain department head in one Of the
big Chicago railroad offices added a new
hint today to the life of base ball excuses
which are being perpetrated on employers
all over the cityN Desiring TO get off to
the West Side contest yesterday, he was
at the same time afraid to set a bad ex-
ample" to his subordnates. In a confer
ence between department managers and
their superior in the morning he hit on a
plan.
"Can l get off this aft. to see gamer" he
scrawled on a scrap of paper. which he
folded and handed TO the boss"
The big noise of the office examined
the note and then allowed pleasant ex-
preston to increase the distance between
his side whiskers.
"Er-you may attend to that matter this
afternoon" said the boss, aloud "I'd like
to supervise 1t myself, but | shall leave il
entirely in your hands"
The willy department manager gravely
nodded his head and walked away as sol
emn as his companions. In the afternoon
he partially occupied a grandstand scat,
and II the boss had been near to hear the
noise he would have been we'll satisfied for
leaving the matter entirely in your
hands.
