JUDGEMENTS

- MAHA has reason TO jubilate al this
particular time in the past, present
and future OF its sporting life. In
~ various branche OF out-of-door *
ercise " has taken. Is taking and
will take front rank. II was just closed
In a halo Of success the eighth annual
tournament of the Midwest Tennis as

fourth annual tournament Of the Nebraska
Golf association. is winning the Western
-eague base ban pennant for another time.
is putting itself back on the race horse
map, and has concluded negotiations for
the bic foot ball game this fall between
the University OF Nebraska and the Ames
Agricultural college. thus recovering a
4 snk In foot ball affairs II lost eight years
ago, which was the last time one OF the
zig games was played here. Is not all
this enough TO give cause for celebration?
Athletic Director Eager OF the Nebraska
squad will never have reason to regret
his decision to play this big game, the
biggest perhaps OF the 1905 schedule, in
Omaha. on the contrary he is to be com
mended for his excellent judgment and
should be and will be rewarded in the
patronage OF the game. Mr.. Eager went
about this matter in the most business
IKE manner. For months he has had IL
under Amusement and before he would de-
side either way he revolved the subject
n his mind, studying it from every stand
point, came to Omaha and made the most
sritical investigation as 10 the outcome
and then decided. Mr.. Eager received
pledges of hearty support in Omaha from
Omaha's largest business houses as well as
foot ball admirers and the press and he is
thoroughly convinced Of the wisdom OF
his decision. That Omaha will turn out
an immense crowd on November Z, to see
these two foot ball teams play Is not to
be questioned for a moment and that the
results will be such as to suggest playing
one Of the big games here every year is
Jcarcely more TO be questioned, Not in
eight years have the C~ornhuskers played a
big game in this city and for several years
there has been q lively demand here for
,ne. The giadiators will find when they
come TO meet Anes that they are in the
home Of their friends. even better, of their
own family, for Omaha is Nebraska's and
Nebraska is omaha's. Omaha will do its
utmost 70 make that occasion a memorable
one in the foot ball history of the west.

RACE TRACK SURE FOR OMAHA
Such is the Announcement Made by
F. A. Nash, Horseman.
WILL BE OVER IN EAST OMAHA
Not y Paper Track. bat r. Actually
Contracted and VIII ne Easily
Reached ny street Car
Line.

Omaha is to have a new race track and
on that track races will be held.
This is the positive statement of r. a.
Nash, who IS one OF the leading horsemen
OF Omaha. and who drives a fast horse be-
cause he likes the exercise. The track Is
not only being built on paper, but is at
present actually being constructed I'm East
Omaha, far enough east to be in Council
Bluffs.
The new track is situated on the Court
land Beach branch of the East Omaha
street car line, which will be improved so
that the best Of service may be had when
races are held at the track. The ground
is admirably adapted for a track because
Of its level nature. and an effort will be
made to build the best half-mle track in
the west.
Money Has All Been Raised.
Mr.. Nash says that the money has all
been raised for building the track and
that work will begin at once on the actual
construction. He says that while it will
simply be used for matinee work by the
omaha Roadster club this fall, that
new year two big meets will be pulled
off, one in the spring and one in the fall,
at which time purses large enough to at
tract the best horses in the country will be
hung up
When Mr.. Reinne leased the old fair
grounds mile track west of Omaha, it was
thought some arrangement could be made
with him whereby that track could be Sc
cured for matinees by the roadster club,
and also for holding some large meetings.
Several conferences were held. but no salts
factory arrangement could be reached and
the scheme was dropped.
Nothing Like Good Horse Racing.
Omaha has some ardent horsemen. who
not only like to drive fast horses them
selves. but also believe in promoting horse
racing for the good of the city. There
are many who believe there is 10 form Of
sport or amusement which will bring as
many strangers to a city as good horse
racing. and these nave banded themselves
together to pull off some Al meets.
More and mc.e different attractions are
being provided each year by the citizens
OF Omaha TO attract outsiders within the
city's gates, and it is hoped that the races
will add to the drawing power OF the city.
Omaha is now well equipped with hotels
TO handle large crowds, and the outside
people will soon learn this.

Omaha as a golf and tennis center is
steadily masnifying its Importance. Dur
ing the last week the eighth annual tour
nament OF the Midwest Tennis association
was held at the Field club and this week
the fourth annual tournament Of the Ne
brsska Golf association will be held at the
Country club. The tennis tournament was
productive OF great interest to tennis fans.
This has come to be al annual function of
IMMENSE pleasure to tennis lovers not only
OF Omaha, but of the entire middle west,
and 1t has been no exception to the rule
This year. Bringing to Omaha the leading
Y tennis players OF the territory embraced
by the association gives to this city a.
prestige in the sphere OF this great game
that is highly priced by local admirers Of
the sport, and not they only, but by all
loyal Umahans, who love to open the gates
or their city to friends from other cities
and towns and even other states. It Is not
because Of any cheap advertisement given
the city that omaha people zealously well
come such enterprises, but rather for the
substantial benefits that ensue to host and
guest as a result OF such affairs. The out
come Of the tournament this year is en-
tirely satisfactory to Omaha and, SO far
as known. to everybody concerned. The
players did good work, had a good time
and no accident occurred to mar the even
tenor Of their way. All in all the eighth
annual tourney goes down in the annals
OF the Midwest association as a distinct
success. And all the interest manifested
in the tennis tourney is felt with equal
zeal I'm tho golf contests. It is highly de-
sirable and appropriate that these two big
events should be divided between the two
big suburban clubs OF the city. Omaha
holds out to its golf friends the same cor
dial welcome it extended to its tennis neigh
bors.
