SENTIMENT IS AGAINST HAMMER

Accident to Athlete May Cause Eli
TninRtiOn of Event.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, April 22.-The abo-
lition of the hammer throw in college track
meets will be advocated strenuously again
as result of a recent accident to Pete
Francis, the Yale foot ball player and
weight hurler. Francis escaped luckily with
only a slight injury in one of the most
peculiar accidents which ever occurred in
a Yale track meet
|, As he threw the hammer the wire handle
broke and the piece which was attached
TO the handle flew back and struck Francis
In the face. A cash two or three inches
long was cut directly under his eye. There
was force enough to the broken wire to
have Drained the athlete, and a difference
of an inch in its course would have cost
him an eye. Francis will be able to resume
training shortly, but the Yale track officers
are now convinced more than ever that
1t is time to eliminate the hammer throw.
Harvard took the lead two years ago In
advocating the removal OF the event from
the list OF dual meets and intercoIIegiates.
At that time Yale had wonderful hammer
throwers in the persons of Cooney, Andrus
and Goebel and was loath to lose the
points these men might win. Harvard pro-
posed substituting the discus for the ham
mer event. Yale has been experimenting
with the Jsvelin throw and may recommend
that instead. In general II is felt at Yale.
however. that another event. perhaps a
team relay race, might be added 70 the
college track meets with better effect than
field meet especially a weight-hurlifx
contest. which is not Witnessed by all the
spectators and is not Of general interest.

Creighton Tennis Men
Printing for Nebraska
Second Round Play in Local Racquet
Tournament Starts Tomorrow on
College Course.

Tennis tournament play at Creighton
university will be resumed this week It
has been at a standstil owing to the inter
vening holidays Of Easter.
But one round has been played. and
owing TO the large number of entrants IL
will take several rounds more to sift play
to the final contestants. In the one round
played some classy talent has been brought
out and several more are yet to be nm
covered for some Of these games have been
forfeited by default
Special interest is centered on the tourna-
ment this year owing to an engagement
with the University of Nebraska. This
date was set for Saturday, April %. but
has been postponed a week on account
of conflicting base ball date with High
land Park.
Nebraska Is reported especially strong
this year in the possession of state and
former state champions. Creighton has a
few artists equal to most any occasion.
Bernard Smyth, present champion of
both the Ottawa and Country club; Joe
Adams. junior champion of Omaha. and
George Shirley. former junior champion
are all out this year for the squad. The
fourth man expected to complete the list
will very likely be Lawrence Bushman. a
recently unearthed prodigy Of certain
championship caliber These men will In
all probability oppose Nebraska and If they
pat up the class of play Of which they are
capable Omaha win witness one OF the
fastest contests OF the season.
Creighton's management Is now endeavor-
ing to arrange games with Bellevue, Iowa
and surrounding colleges, which win fill
in busy schedule until June.

Omaha High Tennis
Players Start the
1911 Season Monday
Local Boys TO Have COS" for Racquet
Squads-Plan Tournaments with
Neighboring Schools.

Ebert Wade. captain Of the tennis team
Of the Omaha High school. VIII open the
boys tennis season tomorrow by calling a
meeting OF all boys Interested in tennis.
Between forty and fifty are expected to
attend. as interest in spring tennis IS
keen.
one OF the great innovations in the ath-
letic work OF the season will be the award
ing OF "O's" for the lads who will consti-
tute the team. In former years, tennis in
the Omaha High school has not had any
official recognition from the athletic board
and practically no support from the stu
dent body Many of the tournaments
which were begun were never finished and
the tennis players became discouraged try
Ing to establish tennis as a school sport
This year however, so many lads have
shown desire to engage in tennis that a
captain was chosen by the Boosters club
with the result that Ernest Wade is the
first lad to be the captain of a tennis team
at the Omaha High school.
Wade has been negotiating with several
schools near Omaha for games. Probable
matches VIII be played with Lincoln.
South Omaha. Council Bluffs and Creighton
college. The Creighton match with the
high school team comes the first part of
May.
Sievers Susman. who is the present
champion, Herbert Davis, runner-up. and
Leo McShane will all compete in the
tournament II is likely that IL Wade Sc
cures several games with outside teams
the players will be awarded "O's." Ac-
cordng to the ruling OF the athletic board
last fall 1t was necessary to play only two
schools in order to win an 90"
serious handicap to the immediate
playing OF tennis is that no courts are
available. Wade is trying to obtain the
use of the Omaha Field club courts for
the spring tournament and these courts
win probably be used in the matches with
the outside teams.
A girls tennis tournament is In progress
at the school and il in charge Of Miss
Bessie Dumont, the gymnasium teacher.
At meeting OF the girls held several
weeks ago, a club was formed with a mem
bership of sixty girls. Laura Zimmerman,
the present champion Of the girls, has
charge Of the entries, and about thirty
girls have already signified their intentions
of entering the spring tournament

Yet Another Wonder
in Wrestling World
Aleksandor Stephanoff is Not Only a
Marvel-He is a Belligerent
Bulgarian.

NEW YORK, April %. - Aleksandor
Stephanoff, a giant Bulgarian Weighing $50
pounds and standing six feet three inches
In his athletic toys, is new Richmond in
the wrestling field, being decidedly anxious,
according to his countryman, Pauko Kub-
adinoff to take on zbyszko or any of the
mammoths now engaging the attention of
the followers Of the graphing game.
Kubadinoff asserted that Stephanoff had
with him letters of Introduction to the
well-known linguist and promoter. Johnny
Dunn, and marveled because he had been in
the country for four days and was unable
TO locate the wrestling ir esario. He
added that he would in all likelihood send
out C. Q. ID. call for Dunn, whom he
says he has slated for the managerial posi-
ton of his protege.
When Kubadinoff was asked IL his man
was wrestler he resented the accusation
and answered that he was a Bulgarian
Further questioning developed that Stephan
off was not a Grseco- Roman exponent, but
always a Bulgarian. as the men of his race
fought the Greeks always He further as
serted that the letter to Dunn attested that
the latter was well versed in the language
Of his protege and that no others need
apply for the position to look up the mat
contests for Stephanoff, who has taken the
measure OF the best men on the continent
at his game.
Competitive matters in Paris proved too
slow for Stephanoff. 80, armed with his
credentials to Dunn, he is already in pur-
suit Of opponents and silver dollars, which
form the currency he has extreme CON
fidence In. AS a matter OF fact, he carried
his wealth in this type of money strapped
about his waist after the fashion of the

late William II. Smith of this city, who

nebec river off the east shore of Swan
Island Saturday afternoon, was con-
tinued Monday but proved unsuccess-
full Two boatloads of men worked
from morning until about $50 in the
afternoon when the water became so
rough and the current was so strong
that it was decided to stop work until
Tuesday morning.
The searching party was composed
of Walter. Herbert and Arthur Smith,
brothers of the drowned man, Fred
Heffernan. Ralph Morang. Fred Ed
wards, Alfred Hopkins and two others.
They were also assisted by two men
from Richmond
Capt. Roy Small of the Augusta

Many Augusta people are wonder
ing why the water in the Baker
Memorial fountain in Market square is
shut off nights. Last winter the water
was shut off every night in order to
keep 1t from freezing up, but there
seems to be no danger from that
source at present, even though the sea-
son thus far has perhaps been a little
cool The opportunity furnished by
the fountain is one that is just as
much appreciated after dark as it is
III the daytime, and there is no reason
why the water should not be available
at all times.
