also tied with II. Chandler Egan of

Egan won the nine-hole play-off with IS
to SO. Both Egan and Evans had the
same card, 20, rs, 1853, but the veteran
and many times champion proved too
much for his less experienced opponent
in the plsy-off.
The heavy rain during the morning
round apparently had no effect on Evans
game, as he played through the down
pour in excellent style and led Copeland
by s up at the end of the morning
round. Copeland's putting was poor in
the morning and he took an SO to Evans
IS. In the afternoon Copeland played
better. Evans appeared careless at times
in the first part of the match, but
steadied toward the end and brought in
a rs on his medal play competition. which
tied him with Egan.

NOW FOR MIDDLE WEST
Premier Tennis Event of the West
Opens at Field Club Monday.
POLO MATCH THE REAL THING
Mounts Have Been Imported Es-
~peciaIIy for the Occasion and a
Hot Time il looked For
by the Players.

Another rehearsal has been held for the
big polo match which is to take place this
week in connection with the Middle West
tennis tournament at the Field club. Lieu
tenant Haskell was on hand to drill the
players and everything is now in readiness
for the big show. 1t Is safe to say that
no such polo ponies were ever seen in the
west or in any other section Of the coun-
try. for that matter. The speed they show
is marvellous, and the wonder will be IL
some Of the daring riders are not injured in
the thrilling contest.
This polo match is to take the place of
the Marathon events which were held last
year, and which furnished fun and amuse-
ment for the visiting tennis men, as we'll
for the spectators from Omaha. 1t will be
played on the base ball diamond and will
be participated in by some of the visiting
cracks, who are expert polo men, as well
as by some of the local experts, who have
played polo In other parts of the globe.
Monday night will be hotel mems night
at the den, as we'll as tennis night, and
some fast fun is promised for that occasion.
Chief Artificer RENEE has prepared some
special doings in honor Of the distinguished
visitors.
Much interest attaches to the playing OF
Walter r. Hayes, who will be seen more
this year than in the last three years when
gle was the title holder. Then he did not
have to play before Saturday, when he
met the winner of the tournament. This
year Peters is the champion and Hayes
will play through the tournament. He has
been playing some remarkable tennls this
season and won the Illinois championship
against a hard field.
Many tournaments are being played
around the country, and the winners Of
these will come to Omaha to fight it out
for the real honor Of the year. In this
way the Omaha lovers of the ancient game
have a chance to see the best in this sec
tion of the country.
Visitors will be accorded every courtesy
and will be shown the time of their lives.
Arrangements have been made with the
other outdoor clubs that they may have
all the benefits of these clubs while in
Omaha, The Racquet club will invite the
visitors to use the swimming pool and this
will be put to good use, especially if the
warm weather continues.
Present indications are that the entry
list will be up to all expectations, both as
to size and to the quality of the players
who will come from all parts of the coun-
try.
Those in charge Of the polo match will
