That club owners OF the Western

not be a formal Western league meeting.

the mead of the table with gavel In
his noble mltt. lt will be but an I'm
formal meeting and PreNie Tip will not

According to reports. six owners OF
Western league franchises win attend
the meeting here. Six will make a
quorum. so the other two Naagnatea may
do as they pleake-take part in the pow

What the moguls intend to do In meet .
ing here is not being made public. II Is
said that nothing revolutionary viii be
attempted, but that the magnates merely
have gone through disastrous season,
and Il is their belief that an advance
meeting may be OF value in planning for
1916.
But there is suspicion, ina Ernuch as
the meeting was not called In the ordi-
nary way that something else IA RolnR

Omaha Tennis Men
Endorse Plan for
Sectional Tourney

Omaha tennis players expect to add
their enforcement to a suggestion that
Ia being made to the United States Lawn
Tennis association regarding the staging
of the national tournament. 1t has been
suggested that the country be grouped
In eight diviSopt and that In each OF
tho divisions q tournament be staged.
The winners In the various divisions
would then compete among themselves
for the championship OF both the singles
and doubles
Omaha players believe this would be
the logical way to determine the cham
pionship and give every player a chance.
As It IL. the championship tourney is
staged In the east. For thirty years IL
has been an annual event at Newport.
This year break occurred in the ranks
with the western clubs doing the break
Ing. and the event was taken away from
Newport and given TO a Long Island
club.
But Long Island Is a long way from
this part OF the country and many play
ers cannot afford the time or money to
attend. The sectional tournaments would
give all an opportunity TO play at least
in a few matches
? The division suggestion has been made
and Omaha expects to vote that 1t be
adopted.
In case the suggestion Ia adopted Omaha
would be In the Missouri Valley district,
which would probably include the states
Of Nebraska. Iowa, Kansas and Mis-

OMAHA III GET CLAY COURT
Ralph Rainey and Joe Adams Do
Not Expect Any Opposition for
National Tourney.
HAS BEEN STAGED HERE TWICE

That the Omaha Field club win not
have any opposition in It's application for
the 1916 national clay court tennis tour
nament Is the opinion OF Ralph Rainey
and Joe Adams OF the Field club tennis
committee. When this tourney is awarded
next January, Ralney and Adams are
confident the award will be to Omaha
The Field club has the best clay courtsI
IN the country. The national event has
been staged on these courts twice and
the players have agreed that the play is
faster and snappier here than on the
Cincinnati OF Pittsburgh courts. Also
Omaha has proved to be about the best
entertainer visiting tennis sharks have
encountered ana they are always eager
to come here.
The clay court event Is reaching bigger
and bigger proportions each year and IN
1916 II Is expected that most OF the num-
Der ono cracks OF the country will enter
Norris Williams has taken quite fancy
to the clay court game and Il is quite
likely that the national champ will be
seen here next year. Church, Washburn.
Behr. Griffin, Johnson and other of the
country's ranking tennis men have played
on the clay considerably this year and
will probably enter the national tourney
next year.

Here's a Bonehead
Play that Even Has
Merkle's Cheated

NEW YORK; Sept. 4.-.Aocordinx 10
Ned Dgan, the Connie Mack OF the
Minors" moro 'bonehead" plays are
made In Glass c and d leagues in a
week than you see In the big leagues
in season. Iogan describes a play made
In the Central Association that kept the
circuit amused for several days.
Waterloo was playing Muscatine, and
WetEell' Muscatine's right fielder. was on
first base, with sours of the same team,
nj bat sours gave the hit and-r-uh sig-
nal and Wetzell started down for second
base as soon as the pitcher began to
wind up. sourB hit long ny. Just as
he reached second base, Wetsell thought
he saw Hin. Waterloos left fielder,
reaching up to catch tho ball.
without waiting TO see whether the
fielder made the catch, Wetzell raced
back to first base. Meantime the ball
had scared high over Hills head, and
sours turned first base and raced for
second. Wetzeu passed him at full
speed. going In the opposite direction.
When Sours reached second, he thought
that he had made "a mistake about seeing
the ball fall safe, and started back 10
first. simultaneously Wetzell saw Hill
chasing the sphere. and he again began
the dash for second. and once more both
players passed each other on the dead
run. both badly confused. The result
was that a hit that should have been
good for triple and score went for a
single.
And all this happened without the UNI
pire being entangled in the "bonehead''

WHICH SPORT is HARDEST?
Water Polo and Ice Hockey Are
Roughest and Most Dangerous
Of All Sports.
GOLF AND CRICKET ARE EASY

NEW YORK, Sept. (which sport IL Il
that takes the most out of the bodies
or those who participate In Il, This in
teresting question should furnish matter
for an endless discussion. Which Is It.
, Surely not cricket or golf One expert
who has played them all says that the
honor lies between water polo and ice

he. I'm the one you may be drowned,
and In the other your lot may be a cash

point OF view hockey has just a shade
on the water game, because the players
get almost no chance TO rest up" The
tide of battle swings back and forth,
sometimes at intervals OF five or ten
seconds. Lacrosse, the sister 70 hockey,
is teaser. too, but the pace afoot is
necessarily just a bit slower than that
on steel blades.
Running. OF course, is a strenuous
game. but to those perfectly trained
Tabers, RohlemaInens, Merediths, etc,
the strain lie not an undue one-and it's
over quickly. Tennis, In times gone by,
has been rated as pink tea sport. but
there are few more strenuous pastimes
than the great net game. It's not at all
uncommon IN read OF a well conditioned
tournament player collapsing in the mid
die OF a match. A tennis player brings
about every muscle in his body into vlo-

coupled with the heat and nervous ten

NO CHANCE FOR OMAHA TO
GET CLEVELAND FRANCHISE

There is little or no chanse for Omaha
to obtain the Cleveland American assO-
citation franchise as was asserted In an
Omaha paper last Sunday.
In the first place Pa Rourke owns the
Organized ball franchise in Omaha, ana
he declares the Cleveland yarn is but a
pipe dream. II would be necessary 10
purchase Rourke's franchise before Cleve-
land could move in. Then the Western
league would have TO agree TO the trans
fer and It's a cInch bet the Western
league would never agree TO such a
move.

THE ELECTRIC METER

The electric meter is really a tiny
electric motor, of the most delicate
structure and the best workmanship,
housed in a little iron and glass box
The revolving part of the motor is an
aluminium disk mounted between two
electro-masnets through which the
current TO be measured is passed The
current in the disk and this current
flowing in the field of the electric
magnets causes the disk to revolve
with speed directly proportional to
the amount of current that is passing
through the magnets. With each com
plete revolution of the disk a black
band is seen to pass the glass cover
ed aperture in the face of the meter
box, and adetinite number of revolu-
tions of the disk indicates that one
kilowatt hour OF electricity has pass
ed through the meter.
