Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1907-04-07

Tennis and Racquet. the only American
club that extends a full membership to
juniors, but his game has been learned In
his fathers court at Lakewood under the
coaching of Frank Forester, the resident
professional, and through occasional
matches with George Standing and Tom
Petit. His career here has been as me
teoric as 1t was IN England. His first
public match was with George Standing
against Charles e Sands and Peter
Latham, in Christmas week last season at
Lakewood He passed from novice to
champion in three months. for early In
1906 he won the Tuxedo gold racquet and
the national amateur championship. On
Gould's return from England he did not
play until the arrival Of Ferdinand Gar
Gin. French professional champion, last
winter. Many matches with Garcin kept
Gould on edge and this season he has won
the Tuxedo and national championships
for the second time with more ease than
before. Gould will be the only American
at the Queens club this year, for the two
former American champions, Joshua Crane
jr., and Charles f. Sands, although they
have played with distinction in the Brit
ish championship in other years will not
go across. IF we can't beat Gould here, ."
is the sum Of their reasoning why
should We go 1900 miles to try again?'

and not by the one match in which he met
defeat Major Cooper Key, H. J. Tenant
NJ p; H. ]. Hill and others spoke in the
same veIn. Until the challenge match
with Miles the reports of the matches
in the newspapers and journals were Of
unqualified laudation. After Gould had
lost and the fear that he was. to get the
title removed the critics had flaws to pick
in his game but the comments were kindly.
Field, despite the excellence Of its reports,
made the same quick change from un-
stinted admiration to faint praise. After
Miles victory the verdict was, "Mr Gould
often plays very prettiiy on the floor. but
he cannot be said to have strong stroke
and he will never acquire one now, unles
he goes to school again and fundamental,
alters his method of striking the ball
The comments Of Field, should the Ameri-
can win the title this time, should be in
teresting.
Jay Gould's mind on his return seemed
to be more set on going back this year
than anything else. Il do not think my
game will be materially changed by the
visit but the experience in so many
matches should be a benefit to me-" he
remarked "In my opinion the best six
American players are just as good as the
six best English players. I will stick to
the American overland service as long as
play, for 1 think It is the best. The
courts of New York, Boston, Lakewood
and Tuxedo are better in size and even
ness of resiliency than any in England
except Mr.. Roses, at Newmarket, and Mr.
Garland's court"

The Creighton university team will play

These games should be interesting and
there should be good crowds at both. No

his teams in constant training for the last

to himself. While the Originals and
Townsends have been training hard for the
last week or so, judging from the show

they will make the Dietz hard to catch.

Association Pledged to Use of Split
Log Drag Revived at
Milan.

The Black Hawk Good Roads asso-

is being held at the Milan town hall
this afternoon. Now is the time for
the effective use of the King split log
drag. and it is to be hoped that the
farmers living in this vicinity will take
up the work with renewed vigor and
stick to it all summer.
Joseph K. Fulkerson of Jerseyville
who is a practical farmer and success
full manager of a large farm as we'll rs
{ member of the state highway com
mission, made a very clear and effec
tive statement of road Improvement
facts a. the recent state farmers insti
tute at Quincy. In his address he
said:
Sometimes l think there is nothine
that the state of Illinois could do thai
would improve the highways so much
as TO buy up all Of the road graders il
the state and throw them in a pile, anc
replace them with a split log drag OF
a road drag. | am strong advocate
of the road drag. because with a drae
an intelligent man can do a great dea
of good. and an ignorant man can dc
no harm. This is more than we cal
say of any road grader"
