NORFOLK MAY GET TOURNEY
PRESIDENT CALLS MEETING
Over Thirty Nebraska Towns Are
New Members OF the 0rgsni-
satios, which starts II.
Tourney In July.

There Is n possibility that the Me-
braska tennis tournament will go to
Norfolk this year. instead Of Lincoln, as
has already been announced. The change
will be made because Lincoln has not
sufficient courts at one club TO take
care u all the entries and that city
has asked TO be released from holding the
tourney there.
Harry Koch. president Of the Nebraska
State Tennis association. has called a
nieeting OF the directors and officers for
next week. at which time II will be
definitely decided where the first tourna-
msnt will DO held. Norfolk has asked for
the tourney and has enough courts to
handle as many men as the events will
draw.
The official bah which will be used by
the association will be adopted at the
meeting next week. A definite day has
not been set for the meeting.
Many Town. Represented.
Over thirty towns In NeprasKl. are now
members OF the newly organised tennis
association and by the time the tourna-
ment starts. tho middle Of July. II Is
expected that at least fifty towns and
cities will be represented. The tournament
will be closed one and only tennis
players who make their home in Ne
braska viii be allowed to participate.
That the tourney win be the largest in
this state during the present year is not
disputed. At least three tennis men will
DO sent to the event by each town and
sons cities will send as high as ten and
fifteen. Omaha has assured the assocla-
ton that at least fifteen Omaha racket
wielders will enter the meet and Lincoln
will send ten or more.
Harry Koch has not been soliciting any
towns to join the association. owing to
his time being occupied by business, but
he will start In soon and send out CIR
oulars to all tennis players and enthnsf-
asts In the state.

Training Fighters
Easier Than Making
Base Ball Players

NEW YORK. April z.-How far DIFF
ferent Ia the spring training OF q ball
player from the training Of a prize
son that the games differ so widely and
are conducted under such different cir
cumstances4 The fighter trains for one
brief period. trains to center all his
strength and speed In the transactions
OF q single night and then lays off work
TIL time to get ready for another battle.
The bail player trains for i54 consecutive
efforts. and must not only have his
strength and speed ready for one occa.
sion. but sufficiently fortified to last him
through the remaining 1853.
In only q few points Is the training of
q ball club at the spring camp akin to
that OF the boxer. Both the ball players
and fighters take runs on the road and
both are rubbed down by their trainers.
That about ends the similarity. and
even the road work is soon limited to
the pugulist for the ball player. a. soon
as the daily practice games are in full
blasts gets all the road work he re-
quires in chasing round the bases.
The boxer skips rope. jnggles dumb
bells and Indian clubs and tosses the
medicine ball. The ball player seldom or
never does any OF these things. II the
boxer is over fat he starves himself
stesms in hot baths and does everything
to get flesh ell Off at one effort. After
the fight Is over he let's the flesh come
back. The ball player removes the fat
by field exercise. or possibly by wearing
rubber shirt. in addition to ordinary
costume. He tries 10 get the surplus
weight off gradually and once II is re-
moved, tries to keep Il off TIL October.
The training tables of fighters and ball
players Is where the greatest difference
is noticeable. Fighters restrict them
selves to lean meats, stale bread. tea. a
little ale and very. little water. Ball
players eat like wolves. consume fat
and lean meats alike. fresh bread. hot
biscuits, pie, cake, ice cream. coffee
and. ever and anon. when no one is look
ing. a tub OF beer.
II can be frankly stated that ball
player would starve on the food offered
to a fighter, and trainer would go
mad with horror at the idea Of fighter
going against the chow demanded by a
ball player. Every famous. physical Gull
ture expert. every authority on the diet
Ing OF athletes would write these columns
against per cent Of the stuff deyoured
by ball players three times a day. Yet
the bali players eat this Wild mixture Of
sweets and sours-and who ever heard Of
one OF them collapsing from indigestion?

Wherever Americans are congregat-
ed, whether in the United States or in
the farthest corner of the earth, there
is rejoicing on Independence day. On
other days discordant notes may be
heard here and there, but on this day
there is only harmony and a feeling Of
thankfulness for the good fortune thac
has come to the fatherland since the
first Fourth of July was celebrated.
Ought to Have Been Named George.
Prince William Frederick, eldest of
the four sons of the German crown
prince and probable future occupant
of the throne of Germany, was born
July 4, 1906. Many American newspa-
pers suggested to the baby's father and
to the German emperor that George
would be a good name for the boy. AS
Germany's ruler he should be friendly
to the United States.

THE YELLOW HAMMER.
And the Tie That Binds the Bird to the
State of Alabama.


1t is not generally known that the
state bird of Alabama is the yellow
hammer. In explanation of this fact
the chairman OF the fish and game
commission of the state writes as fol-
lows:
''As a matter of history it is known
that Confederate uniforms became
scarce toward the end of the war;
therefore in order to provide the gal
liant Confederates with proper clothing
the good women picked the cotton,
carded it into rolls, spun them into
thread, wove it on home made looms
into cloth, and then they were dis
tressed to find that they did not have
nor could they procure the dye with
which to color the cloth they had
made. They deliberated over this
vexed question for many days, and
finally an ingenious dame suggested
that hickory bark be boiled and that
the cloth be dipped into the yellow
water that would result from the boil
ing process.
The happy thought was enthusi-
astically hailed, and tidings of the solu-
ton swept the state, and so all the
uniforms were made of bright yellow
cloth. The coats were made with long
tails, and the soldiers that wore them
when they ran after the enemy, very
much resembled the yellow hammer
the bird that seems to dip through the
air as gracefully as does the seagull
skim the waves of the opal ocean,
