have only evolved into their present shapes
because Il has been found easier to make
certain strokes with such implements as
the mashie. the iron or the niblick. To
object 10 a club as being too good for its
work is TO depreciate the game.
There are some who. before they became

ments we're the most suitable that could be
devised for overcoming the difficulties, like

an actual truth. IL the present tendency
is to develop. some people are of the opin-
ion that nlblcks and sand irons should be
barred. IL man may use a niblick to
get more easily out of bunker, why
should he not use a small hammer or a

The claim has been made that there is
not enough OF that sort OF thing The
golfer who does not realize that other Ieo-
pie may play quite different sort OF
game from himself. is likely to prove a
mighty indifferent sort OF an ally in a
foursome. In fact. II is only when two
golfers have played together sufficiently
TO study one anothers methods that they
arrive at their best from the point of view
OF foursome play. And II the knowledge
thus gained leads them to suppose that
they have better chance OF success by
throwing away a stroke at any point, they
are perfectly entitled TO do so.
As one player recently put Il. each golfer

Shortage of Two

Damage Done to Turf Industry
Thought to Have Hurt Supply

NEW YORK, June 25.-Next season there
Will be a shortage of 2-year-olds in this
country unless some of the smaller breed
ing farms turn out a good stock. The
racing situation is so gloomy here that the
larger breeders are looking elsewhere for

year and 1t is said that Mr.. James A. Keene

Should this be the case, and there is

upward of 200 American-bred horses will be
sold In South America this summer. What
Is more depressing is the fact that quite
number of brood mares will also be
shipped away some from the Castleton
farm among others.
The damage done to the turf industry in
the past year or two will take years to
remedy, unless there is a change for the
better. All eyes are turned TO Canada for
relief, and what this country loses will be
canada's gain, for the purses in the Domin-
ion are much larger and the stakes in
spots are decidedly better. Horsemen can
not be expected to remain at the local
tracks when Canada offers so much better
opportunity for racing.

Miller Park
Sport Center
These Days
Golf, Tennis and Base Ball Enthusi-
asts Out in Numbers
Every Day.

Miller park these days is one Of the
most active sport centers in Omaha. Since
the completion of a number of improve
ments to the grounds the park presents
one of the most desirable places in the
city for the gathering of followers of golf,
tennis and base ball. Almost every day,
when weather permits, tennis and golf
players Of the club are on the courts and
links.
The improvements of the golf course have
made II much better than last year. 1T
has been widened and elevated tees have
been installed. Sand boxes have been pro-
vided and settees placed in shady spots.
Most of the green's have been resodded and
are In fine shape. The members OF the
Golf club are hard at work every day
getting in practice for the state tourna-
ment that will be held at the Field club
this week. Those who will enter the
tourney are r.. II. Beauchamp, A. T.
Jacobs, c. o. Dooley, w. A. Ellis l.. e.
Gillispie, C. J. Merriam. w. H. Moran,
Louis Kelsey, f. C. vette and H. C. Town
send. These have been doing the best
work on the links this season. and 1t is be-
lieved that some of them will be able to
carry off some of the honors.
The three double tennis courts which
were built this year are attracting wielders
of the racquet. The courts have been
worked into fine condition and every day
match games are played Park players are
making preparations for the clay court
tournament that will be held in this city
in August and a number are rounding into
form to compete 1t is probable that the
following players will enter the lists: Roy
Glllispie, Lee Smith, e. j. Hatch, c. E.
Bloodman, A. v. Gustafson. DR.. 2. D.
Clark, Miss Wilcox and Miss Hatch.
One Of the features OF the park which
attracts not only the members, but others
living In the vicinity is the artesian well
which was bored this spring. An analysis
of the water indicates that 1t ranks with
some OF the best mineral waters in the
United States and compares favorably with
some of the waters OF Europe. The shat
was sunk 1000 feet before the water flowed
The flow averages $50 gallons a minute
Persons living in the community Of tn,
park use this water entirely for household
purposes, and all the drinking water useC
at Fort Omaha comes from this source.
About twenty-five new members have beer
added to the club this year, making tn,
total nearly ninety. There are but sixty
four lockers in the locker room, and 1t Il
thought that more will have to be installed
to accommodate the rapidly increasing
membership.

LONG BOUTS FOR NEW ORLEANS

Representative Starts Move to Legal

BATON ROUGE La, June 25.-A bill has
been introduced in the Louisiana state leg
islature by Representative Thomas C. An
derson of New Orleans, TO legalize twenty
five-round boxing matches within the city
of New Orleans. The conditions are that
five-ounce gloves must be used, and that
only clubs chartered at least one year can
secure permits to hold such exhibitions.
At present bouts in New Orleans are lin
tied to ten rounds, and sportsmen con-
tend that nothing decisive can be obtained
in such limited contests.
