Season in Few Weeks.
GOLFERS ARE BUSY ALREADY
Programs for Initial Nights Taking

Several BaII Games Are
Scheduled.

Opening dates for omaha's outdoor clubs
are being made up. The three largest or
ganizations, the Field club, Country club
and Happy Hollow, have prsctincally de-
cided their dates. The Omaha Country
club probably will open first, May g. The
Field club comes next, May 10, and the
Happy Hollow expects to have it's improve
ments finished In time to open May 90
The Omaha Rod and Gun club will not
open its doors officially until May 80 end
probably the Council Bluffs Rowing asso-
citation also will open Decoration day. The
Miller Park and the Diets clubs have not
definitely decided on what dates they will
open upon but several OF the directors in
each club favor May 20.
Club openings are made a gay festival
and care is always taken by the larger
clubs that the dates do not conflict. as
many members belong to more than one
club.
The members Of all the golf clubs are al
ready playing on the courses and the tennis
courts are in a state Of reconstruction max
ing ready. At the Country club the changes
in the kitchen will be finished in another
week and IL will be possible TO serve meals
and golfers at the Field club are able now
to get a sandwich. The Happy Hollow

and the members win carry lunches for
some time.
Water clubs naturally open later than the
other organizations, as the desire to swim
or even boat in cold weather rarely sur
wives few duckings. The Dietz club and
the Young Mems Christian association
probably will hold their openings May 80.
Base ball at all of the lake clubs is under
way.
Ceremonies at practically all Of the clubs
on opening night will consist OF dances
and receptions. The entertainment COM
mittees OF al lof the organizations are
working on added amusement features for
for the evening and the men in charge
have quite a bit of rivalry in the matter
as to which club win have the ''niftiest"
opening,
A base ball game will be one of the
events at the Country club. Happy Hollow,
Field club Rod and Gun club and Dietz

popular until the evening. when the dance

ended the inning leaving Creighton two
scores to the good.

throws.
The Highlanders. in the thir got on the
job to test the infleld's mettle. which in
tin SHINING was not equal to the test. When
the ming was over the visitors had scored
two runs and these at the expense OF errors.
The next slipped by rather quietly. but in
the fifth and sixth Creighton scored in
each and seemed TO have cinched the game
Their hopes were In vain, however, for
the unhappy eighth decided the result.
