RAIN HELPS OUT
Playing Only Game Thursday
Omaha Drops 2 NOtches.
Denver Bears Take Second
Place i'm Western League.

Rain and mud are said to have
caused the defeat of Napoleon at
Waterloo. A superfluity OF water Is
said to have made Noah's ark the most
popular tub in the world. And within
the past two days, the effectiveness OF
H2-O in humbling the mighty mas
been demonstrated in the western
League.
Only two games were played in the
w. l. loop Wednesday, and Topeka,
while not playing, advanced TO the top
of the league. Thursday water pre-
vented Wichita from playing at Den
yer, Topeka at Lincoln and Des Moines
at St Joe However, Omaha and
Sioux City played at 500 town, and as
result the Topeka SavageS increased
their lead ~ several per cent, Denver
took second place, Des Moines third
and Omaha dropped to the tail end
of the first division.
With Denver in second place ana
hard on the heels of Topeka, there is
little doubt that the four game series
that begins in the Mile High City
Sunday will be a hard fought one
Those who have seen the Denver
Bears in action have realized all along
that they would be in the running, and
it looks as though the Savages will
have to fight them to retain their PIN
nacle. The result of Thursdays game
at Sioux City was as follows:
Sioux City IL; Omaha s.
Sioux City, Ia, May Sioux City
sluggers landed hard on three Omaha
pitchers and won the second game of
the series by score of 2 to g.
Omaha took the lead in the second
inning with four runs, but the Indians
hoped on Willis and Johnson for sew

ha have three runs.

TROTTERS WORK OUT
Horses at Fair Grounds Track Show
Excellent Spring Condition.

Spring training work at the fair
grounds is reported to be advancing
fully equal to that of any of the best
western half-mile tracks. Favora BILE
weather, excellent track and general
good management of trainers bring
out the result of not sick or lame
horse on the ground. To the lovers of
trotting horses it is quite interesting
to watch them in their workout
miles every Tuesday and Friday.
Last Tuesday the best miles were
made by Miss Pinkerton c. year old
record 2:19A), 2:331s; Lucy Wiki
hurst, 2:27A; Peter Pinkerton, 2:34;
Louise Constantine 6 year ODD, Pap;
Pattie Pinkerton, 1882 ", and Minnie
Pinkerton 6 year old. in the first
two miles ever worked, stepped the
distance in 2:46 and 2:4211. 1t is be-
Iieved this might easily be called
state record.
Gov. Mason, 2:10A, made a mile in
2:29A, showing that he will be as
good as or better than he was last
season when the bell rings in July.

New York, May 6.-Oyster Bay is to
have another kind of nut this sum-
mer-nothing like some of the cranks
who tried to reach Colonel Roosevelt
when the summer White House was
on Sycamore Hill. The latest is one
design class OF small racing yachts
a sort of bath tub Species-that will
be raced by members of the Seawan-

Their owners have elected to call
them the Nuts William J. Mathe-
son will have the Peanut; F. f Cou-
dert, the Acorn; Walter Jennings, the
Pecan; George Roosevelt, the Pignut,
and Charles J. Nourse, the Doughnut.
Also Colgate Hoyt, jr., has called his
craft the JosephuS-
Is there 4 nut called Josepnus? he
was asked
Il understand so,'' he said; rather
an unusual one
The idea of the new class is to sim
plify yacht racing and reduce its cost,

ONLY FOUR ACCEPTED
THUS FAR FOR NAVY
Seven Out OF If Applicants For En-
Iistment at Local Station Are
Rejected by Officer.

There have ceen l. applicants for
enlistment in the United States navy
since the navy recruiting station was
opened three weeks ago in the federal
building. OF these applicants only
four have been accepted The station
is in charge of Chief Quartermaster A.
w. Harrison. Thus far but little ad-
vertising has been done. 1t is expect
ed that there will soon be an active
advertising campaign started for the
securing of recruits
Every inducement is being offered
to secure recruits. The age limit has
been reduced from 35 TO 30 years. The
claim is made for the service that it
offers as splendid an opportunity for
advancement and development as any
occupation open to young men. Par
ticular stress is laid on the fact that a
naval recruit is given the opportunity
to travel extensively and at the same
time advance in the particular line of
work in which ne is interested.

Brownsville section to combat Mexican
raiders. This denudes Galveston of
troops and the 23rd infantry, now at
Jacksonville. Fla, for target practice,

Sec'y Garrison said that the send
ing Of the 2Sth TO the border was a
precautionary movement The MeXi-
/ can bandits who have been operating
\ in the Brownsville region have been
able 10 strike and run almost at will,
Z but with the addition TO the forces
there OF an entire regiment Of infan-

cavalry for scouting work.
The situation in the Brownsville
region is local to great extent" ex-
planned the war secretary. Unless
the Texas authorities ask us TO ca.
more than we are doing now we are
limited by the law to maintaining the
border patrol and to killing as many
of the raiders who attack as we can.
If the governor of Texas should re-
quirc it. we easily could establish a
military zone that would take in all
the Brownsville region. But unless
the local authorities ask us to do this
we cannot act"
The war department still was with
ont word whether the bandits now op-
Grating in the Brownsville district who
were responsible for the killing OF
three American soldiers and the
wounding of hit others yesterday ac-
tually were llista soldiers as has
been charged.
