openings, the assemblage we
have prepared this fall is of
such a high character and of
such unusual variety that it
will be quite unlike any event
of it's kind Omaha has ever
seen.
A number of original French fall
hats from Paul Poiret, Marie
Louise, Alphonsine and Virot, are
particularly charming in their rich
simplicity, while the artistic hats
from New York designers are
scarcely less fascinating.
Beautiful fabrics and acces-
series to the costume have
ample representation in this

this as a special invitation to

of the most attractive sets of games held
for colored athletes in this vicinity. The
splendid prizes secured and offered for
competition by the committee on ath-
letics have tempted the best athletes in
the community. while the advantage of
handicap competition has induced others
to enter. knowing that they will have a
chance to win with the best athletes in
the contests. Entry blanks are in the
hands Of the principals of all schools and
many have encouraged large numbers of
boys to enter that they might get the ex-
perience from competing which will help
them become better athletes.

letes who intend to compete should en-
ter early.

creasing hitting. but there are plans now
in vogue that are supposed to cut down
the time of game. Empires have been
instructed to hustle the game along, and
the public has reached the conclusion that
one hour and forty minutes is long
enough.
In the American League the twirlers
are not allowed to warm up during
change of innings, yet IL all goes for
naught with the lively ball in commits
sion The time spent in chasing long-hit
balls that under ordinary circumstances
would have been easy has heightened the
game.
About the only people who can get any
satisfaction out of the new ball are the
players. STILL in the long run, they will
gain nothing. While their batting av
erage will be boosted they derive little
may clout this season at a $50 rate. the
ordinary .o6O clouter will be lowering

twirlers are kicking like a bunch of cor
will shorten the life of the pitchers. And
that is just what it will do.
Such a worthy judge of base ball as
Umpire Hank O'Day, dean of the Ma
tional League staff, says that the hit
ting this season is not because OF the
gone back. Hank must change his brand.
Does it seem possible that all the great
fingers of last year should have taken
a slump?
We would digest his view. possibly. If
one or two of the star fingers had started
to show signs of slowing up, but as all
of them are being hit good and hard i'm
nearly every game, ii is the ball and not
the pitchers that is causing all the
trouble.

BIG COLLEGE GAME.
Princeton and Yale Hook Up Today
for the Championship.

NEW YORK. June 14.-Princeton and
Yale. each having lost a game to the
other on home grounds. came to New
York today to settle the question Of SUI
premacy at base ball on a neutral dia-
mond The contest brought a large fol-
lowing of students from both universities
on morning trains. Reinforced by thou
sands of "oid grads and ardent admirers
from this city. the rival hosts turned to-
ward the Brooklyn National League Park
to fight ii out.
All reservations at the park were
snatched up well in advance. and a rec
ord crowd was assured, with standing
room only when the game was called at
800 pm.
1t is many years since Brooklyn had the
excitement of entertaining a big inter
collegiate game and the spirit of the day
was in evidence throughout the borough
by display of the blue and orange and
black. The Yale team had the slight ad-
vantage of an afternoons practice on the
Brooklyn diamond yesterday while the
Tigers were playing the alumni at home.
Both captains expressed confidence before
the game began.
Capt. Alan Corey of Yale announced be-
fore leaving his hotel that he would stand
pat on the lineup which defeated Prince
ton last Saturday. to 5. with Hartwell
and Scott as pitchers. The Princeton
choice for the box was "Biggy' Noodle,
who is credited with the Princeton vic
tory a week ago at New Haven.

Following his defeat in the second

remarkable exhibition OF tennis b. 6-1.
There is no doubt that Fisher will reach
the semi-fnals, and il is an even bet that
he or Theodore Roosevelt Pell OF New

the challenge cup.
Fisher is paired today with W. G. Lee
of Jacksonville. The latter is considered
q good player, and IL is probable that
Fisher will not attempt any or the
strokes ne used in his second game with
Mullen Yesterday.
IL was his second game yesterday that
startled the gallery and has caused him
TO become favorite. Fisher. realizlnk
that Mullen would prove easy in the last

thought 1t was only local and gave the
birds start. No returns were expected
until after 6 pm. il at all, but the two
inches Of hail which fell In Maryland

OF THE CLUBS.

Agriculture VS.. Interior.
Post Office took the lead in the race
when they received a forfeit game from
the Government Printing Office team. The
Printers were certainly in hard luck, be-
cause the men they were waiting for ar
rived just five minutes after the game
was forfeited.
This makes the third forfeiture of the
season for the league. the other two Of
tenders being Bureau and Post Office.
This is considered very good record
when it is taken into consideration that
the teams have played thirty-three games.
Too much praise cannot be given I'M
pire Harley for the good order that pre-
walls at the games, and the league Is to
be congratulated on securing such a good
disciplinar.an. This is his third year as
official umpire In the league, and he is
very popular with the fans and players
alike
1t looks like the league has picked up
another competent umpire in Mr.. George
E. JesSup, who has charge of the games
Saturdays. Mr.. Jessup is former men,
Der of the Interior team and knows the
game from 4 to z.
That the close race is attracting wide
spread attention is evidenced by the
large crowds that come out to see the
games every day Some like the hard
hitting for which the league Is noted.
while others are attracted by the keen
rivalry that exists between the teams.

The players In the amateur leagues are
certainly slugging the ball this season
there never being as many men hitting
above the 800 mark. nor as many LONG
hits made. as there have been this spring.
In the Capital City and Bankers Leagues
alone there are seventy-one men who are
hitting above the 800 mark. In many of
the other leagues the percentages range
has twenty nine men who are n, citing the
ball above the standard mark.
In the Capital City League and Bankers
League there are twelve men in each who
are clouting the sphere for a percentage
OF over 400. The Departmental League
boasts of fourteen men who are above
the 400 mark.
The Capital City League as a whole
seems to have a better average than the
other circuits. There are but four clubs
in the league and yet out of tine thirty
six regular players carried by these about
10 per cent of them are hitting $40 or
better.
The American Security and Trust Com
pany team takes the palm for team mt
ting. The Fifteenth Street Bankers have
twelve men who are over 30, and just
one-half of these are hitting over 400.
Steele is the best individual hitter who
is playing regularly, the Sewerage Pump
ing Station center fielder being almost
up to the 800 mark.
No wonder the American Security and
Trust Company is heading the Bankers
League, with each of It's twelve players
hitting above the 300 and six of these
over the 400 mark. 1t is not probable
that any of the other teams Will have
much OF a chance to get anywhere against
the Trust crowd as long as 1t holds TO
the average 1t has at present.
The average of the American Security
and Trust team Is certainly record In
base ball. II is doubtful if there is an
other ball team in the world which num-
bers twelve players each of them with
batting average of over 200.
The extraordinary percentages of the
mentioned players can be explained by
the fact that the opposing pitchers are
not good enough to twirl against the bat
tiers who compose the Security and Trust
Company team, and are consequently
found for base hits much more often
than would otherwise be the case.
The game which was scheduled be-
tween the alumni and present college
team yesterday out at the Maryland
Agricultural College did not come OF
as per arrangements because OF the
inclemency Of the weather and the
poor condition Of the grounds.

the other clubs In the Independence
League care to win the pennant in that
circuit. The club is not only playing
good ball. but II is doing consistent work
something that counts for a whole lot
more than an occasional flash. Probably
one reason why it does consistently bet
ter work than the other clubs is that 1t
presents the same lineup generally,
which the other mines do not Its infield
is working together well. and that means
a lot to a team which is playing against
clubs which are not going we'll together
and do not understand one anothers style
OF play.
The Departmental League pennant may
hinge on the next game which Is played
between the Post ONCE and Commerce
and Labor teams. There is but another
month for the league to run. and IL the
Laborites get q lead Of two games on the
Mailmen II will be most difficult matter
for them to ever catch up. OF course. a
team is liable to 20 into slump al any
time, but it is not very likely that such
will be the case with the Commerce and
Labor team-not with the kind Of ball ii
has been putting up lately.
