exposition. At the banquet the governor made another hit, but he was
not the only one. James E. Kelby, general counsel for the Burlington
railroad, who. with Mrs. Kelby, was visiting the exposition, accepted
the title Of colonel for the evening and therefore was a guest at the
banquet. His fame having preceded him, he was naturally called
upon for an after-dinner talk. He spoke for Omaha, the POSTMASTER
announced, the last city to hold a successful exposition. Among
other things Colonel Kelby said, speaking for the benefit of the sew
eral governors present:
Il am impressed with the sovereignty of the state. 1 never come
under the wing of a governor but what 1 am reminded of the strict
observance of the statutes Of the several states. So It
pains me that one Of the most prominent laws OF our state has been
80 ruthlessly violated tonight-the s o'clock closing law"

tourney in the west travel
travel around from place TO
place on a regular circuit.
Those who don't have to work
do this and most of them are
limited in their tennis travels
only by the beginning of the
college year.
The first day of the tourna-
ment always sees some tennis
playing. There is always a
referee whose only idea is to
get more scores posted up on
the bulletin board and he in
t~erferes seriously by insisting
that the schedule must not fall
behind. And then there are
some men who must play ten
mis-. They are the real en-
thusiasts. Whether they can
play or not has absolutely moth
ing to do with their enjoyment
of the game. Tennis is not
much of a game for spectators.
1t is about as exciting as g
base ball game played in the
Omaha daily bee., 1909-08-29

next town where you take a look at the board once in a
while to see how the game is going. But to the man who is playing
it with some understanding of what he is trying to do IL is real sport.
The dub never realizes his own dubbness If he can get another of
the same sort to play against. He is always highly amused by his
own attempts to play a good game. But these real enthusiasts are
infrequent and not at all necessary to the success of the event
itself. Tennis is a peculiar game, anyway. The average man puts 1t
down without a thought as a ladys game, or at least fit only for
young and otherwise inconsequent men. 1t can be played well by
anyone who has been playing 1t every summer for the last five or six
years and by no one else. Practice is the whole secret. The strong
armed man who spends his leisure hours hosting pianos and safes
would usually last through about half of a stiff tennis match. The
real tennis arm is made of wire cable and is capable of constant ex
ertion for hours without firing.
1t has been said that no one has ever been tennis champion of
the United States who was not a millionaire. Only a man of indie
pendent fortune can afford to play all the time, and that is what
makes a champion in this sort of a game. For that reason the Cali
fornians who have tennis weather nearly all the year round are great
tennis players.
Most of the matches in a tournament at the Field club are
watched by a gallery of femininity, with a very sparse sprtnklng of
men-more or less ashamed of themselves.
Tennis spectators are of two kinds, those who know nothing
about the game and those who know very little. The hrst-cIass is

committeeman. He was directing walters in placing new tables in
the corners.
This" explained the committeeman, "is for the tennis tourna-
ment; we must have more room for the accommodation OF the WIS.,
itors and for-entertainment"
out in the dancing pavilion was another committeeman.
This floor will have to be fixed up a little" he remarked, tennis
tournament coming, you know, and we must provide for entertain
ment"
The rest of the committee was found in the buffet in earnest con-
gultation with the dusky chiefofstan. Tennis tournament" they
explained, with an air of Importance, I'VE must provide a sportsman
like entertainment"
TIE visitor hired a golf caddy to lead him down through the
locker room into the tennis courts. There he found one big, busy
Swede, who was sweeping the courts. The Swede thought there
might be going to be a tournament-he wasn't sure of 1t.
That is why when the tennis player from Yale or Princeton comes
into the Field club Monday morning of the tournament he heads for
the buffet, spends three hours there getting well greeted,
and then borrows some tennis clothes so that he can play
a few games.
When the tennis players meet at Omaha they have usually been
apart from each other about two days. They saw each other the
Saturday night before at Sioux City, and when they part at the Field
club they expect to meet again at Kansas City the next Monday. The
Younger who form the nucleus of the visiting players at every
Omaha daily bee., 1909-08-29

and everything is supposed to be for them and by them'
they take advantage Of the committee.
For years the favorite selection at the Omaha Field club related
how,
Around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon,
She wore t for her lover, who was far, far away.
1t is asserted that when this song first came out 1t had a plot.
but IL so it was the authors reason for writing it. This year a news
paper editor from Des Moines who happens to attend tennis meetings
offered a ditty that went like this:
Some folks say the Field club. she amt got no style.
Why, she's style all the while, all the while.
This song went big. At the smoker it was sung no less than
700 times. 1t was reduced long before morning to a pleasing uni
formity of tune which made it distnguishable among the others. At
the smoker everybody sings. That is why the big events Of Saturday
the next day are all put of until the afternoon.
A man came into this years tournament from Doniphan. He
probably never attended a tournament before. 1t is possible that he
was never out of Doniphan before. He played a good game OF tennis
and he played hard the first day. After that first day he was lost in
the melee of the entertainment. Saturday morning he went home
with a headache. He sat on the street car going toward the depot
and drummed on his hat ruminatively. That tennis" he remarked,
THAT tennis surely is a great game" Then he went away, humming
sadly:
Around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon.
She wore it for her lover, who was far, far away.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-08-29

nlOIG duu mOlG NOlu-
BILE. The first and foremost C
tivity in watching a tennis
match is talking. AT a base
ball game or a foot ball game
people root, or hop up and
down and throw away their
new hats, but all the time they
are watching the game. II they
have anything to say it is di-
rected at the umpire. But at
a tennis match it is different.
The excitement of the game is
favored with a mild mixture of
salad ideas, or somebody's new
wolfe. Once in a while some
one takes enough interest in a
player to ask where he is from.
Occasionally there is a round of
dainty applause when a good
looking boy strikes a fine atti-
tude. No perspiration; no hur-
rays. Nearly everyone gives or
attends a bridge party at least
once during the week at the
Field club. The hostess usually
thinks 1t necessary to explain
Omaha daily bee., 1909-08-29

to her guests that the men on the courts below them are playing ten
mis-. Having some sort of a tournament she remarks. Isn't
that beautiful flannel that young man is wearing?"
Once in a while a man comes to the gallery who hefted a tennis
racket in his hand the last time he was in a sporting goods store to
buy a fish hook and he does the critic. He watches the nearest
match for a while and then asks, doing his best to conceal his con-
tempt, This is not a regular tournament match, is it?", No matter
if point is contested for five minutes by a series of brilliant returns,
he will wait desperately for the end and then mutter, Rotten, rot
ten," and chew his mustache. The tennis game is easy for this kind
of a crouch because everybody loses his points the same way. There
are only two things a man can do to lose a point, and these are to
drive the ball into the net o r out of the boundary line. The crouch
knows that he could do the same things the expert finally doeU, and
do them a lot quicker.
1t is only on the last day that there is ever any real interest in
the gallery. On Saturday afternoon, when somebody has emerged
from entangrng opponents for the ntnety-third time to establish
himself as champion, with only one lone fighter clinging to him for a
last fight, then the gallery is scattered slightly with men folks and it
assumes something of the proportions and manner of a crowd. The
play is watched with intense interest for five or ten minutes, after
which the talk is resumed with fervor. A championship tennis
match lasts for nearly three hours sometimes; at least that is said
to be the case. No layman ever was known to hang around and find
out. But, as we said before, when a tennis tournament is to be de-

town who expects to put in a full week playing
tennis, but he always gets fooled. If he is anything but
a whi-lwind at the game he finds himself benched after
the first performance so that he has to quit, and If he
really can play when he arrives he usually finds other
things more amusing before he gets through.
For a week before the annual Middle-west tournament
at the Omaha Field club there are signs of unusual a-
tivity. The committee. which is chosen from the mem
bers Of the club noted for good fellowship and entertain
ing ability, is bustling with preparations. Every night
in the week must be carefully prepared for.
A man comparatively a stranger to tennis men and
their ways made a trip to the Field club Just a few days
before the opening of this years affair. The first place
he went 10 was the office. Here he found a member OF
the committee. He was drawing money out Of the safe.
"whets that for?" he asked, inHocently.
"-enni7 tournament coming" answered the commit
teeman. This reserve fund is to buy prizes and furnish
entertainment"
He came to the dining room and there was another
