There is also a report that Resta

EAST GETS ALL JOURNEYS

New York, Feb. l0.-The annual
meeting of the United States National
Lawn Tennis association closed early
today with a mairly even break be-
tween the east and the west on ques-
tons which caused sectional divis-
ions. The representatives from west
of the Alleghenies defeated the pro-
posed amateur rules, which would bar
from the amateur ranks players in
the sporting goods business; but all
the important national championship
tournaments with one exception, were
awarded to clubs in the Atlantic
states.
As a result of this action the pres
ent amateur rule will stand. This
rule permits an amateur tennis player
to maintain a connection with firm
manufacturing or selling athletic
goods to no greater extent than with
any other line of goods"
The west was successful also in
defeating rule proposed by the execu-
tive committee, which would have
governed and limited payment of ex-
penses of players competing in
sanctioned tournaments.
A few minor amendments of the
amateur rule were adopted. The most
important of these provides that a
player shall lose his amateur status
by permitting or sanctioning the use
of his name to advertise or promote
the sale of tennis goods for pecuniary
profits or by permitting his name to
be advertised or published as author
of books or articles on tennis, of
which he is not actually the author.
:. Recognizing War Cloud.
The meeting recognized the war sit
tation by authorizing the executive
committee to cancel all crany sane
toned tournaments in case such
action appeared warranted.
The only sectional contest over the
award of national tournaments was
between the Longwood club of Bos-
ton and the Onwentsia club of Chi
cago, both of which applied for the
doubles championship. The Boston
club won the event by a vote of 172
to 80. The national singles champion
ship tournament and the junior and
boys national championship tourna-
ment were awarded to the West Side
club of Forest Hill, L. l.; the wo-
mems singles, doubles and mixed
doubles championship went to the
Philadelphia Cricket club and the in
door championship to the Seventh
Regiment Tennis club of New York
The Ohio Lawn Tennis association
of Cincinnati defeated the Rockhill
club Of Kansas City for possession
of the clay courts championships.

Clarence Eklund was on hand and
yesterday afternoon matched himself
with Hastings protege for a future
bout for 500 side. There were many
others and challenges and defies were
heard from al sides.
The crowd was a wonderful sight
Not a vacant sea was to be found
in the huge building and hundreds
stood up. Pop dispensers even rented
their empty bottle cases to those who
had to stand up and wanted a little
better view of the ring. The crowd
could not have been less than 5000
and the ordinary guesses greatly ex-
ceeded that number. The crowd was
so great ushers and police could not
control it at all.
Taken as whole the bill was one
OF the best that ever was presented in
Omaha The main attraction, the
Stecher-Peters clash, was replete with
action and interesting from start to
finish. The preliminaries were a lot
better than many main bout seen in
Omaha Almost everybody who saw
it agreed that Pete Loeb, who pro-
NOTED the affair, had provided a pro-
gram more than worth the money,
something that can be seldom said Of
wrestling bill.
Carl Marhsi, official treasurer for
the match, worked far into the night
last night figuring up the receipts. He
had some task. Marhsi was selected
by both Hetmanek, manager of
Stecher, and Loeb, who was not only
the promoter, but was managing
Peters to take charge Of the seat sale
and the money. He was the non-in-
terested party given the job of
handling the coin. Marfisi. who is an
old hand at the wrestling game, being
a eo-worker of Gene Melady's in ali
the matches Gene puts on, and he de-
clared the crowd last night one of the
most wonderful he had ever seen m
an indoor arena.

Gossip Heard at the Ringside;
Plestina Flashes Roll of Coin

Carrying $500 in gold coin of the
realm in his right paw, Marin Pies
tina, the big Omaha grappler who
doesn't seem able to find anybody will
ing to tackle him, stepped into the
ring before the main match and Of
fered to wrestle Earl Caddock for
$500 or $1,000. The $500 he carried
to show Caddock he meant business.
Plestina has been trying to land a
match with Caddock for some time,
but has never been able to coax Earl
into clash. Plestina also challenged
the winner of the Stecher-P Peters 60.
Plestina doesn't bar anybody and the
bigger they come the better he likes
EN-.
The semi-wintup was a real twenty
minute thriller. 1t was berween John
Pesek. the Buffalo county marvel who
recently stood Earl Caddock off for
an hour, and a protege Of AL Has
tings, the Silver Creek promoter.
Hastings protege goes by several
names one of which is Samson Out
weighed fifteen pounds Hastings lad
outwrestled Pesek from start to finish.
Pesek put UP stubborn resistance,
however, and the bout was a corker.
There was no fall. Five hundred dol
lars was said to have been bet on the
outcome.
Tom Ray and Judie Warner
wrestled a fast ten-minute rough and
tumble tangle without a fall. They
appeared to be much peeved at each
other and when Referee Al Hastings
informd them the ten minutes were
up they were reluctant to suspend
hostilities and one Of them upset Has
tings when he tried to separate them.
Scores of bone-crushers invaded
Omaha for the bout Earl Caddock,
who was challenged by Piestina, was
a visitor. Jack Taylor, the Canadian
champ, who has hurled def at Cad
dock and says be has put up $3.50,
came Up from Lincoln for the bout.

THE REFORMER.-The sympa-
thetic reformer! How kind-heaTted
he is! How he picks up the drunk
ard that the salOOnkeeper throws
out, etc.!
Such stories are humorous. They
are read for a laugh. What would
Mr.. FaTwel do if he saw drunk on
the street? The answer is easy, call
a policeman and do his best to have
the man sent to the Bridewell or
fined.
Tell a refOrmer about poor hotel
that is frequented by unmarried COM
mon people, and see how sympa-
thetic he will act
His finer feeling will be exercised
by calling the patrol wagon. Even
the policemen who are accustomed
to all kinds of sorrow secretly de-
spise such arrests and proudly say
that they are not the instigators Of
them.
Ask any human being excepting a
refOrmeT or an infOrmer how his
feelings are affected by the sight of
some poor girl and her lover in the
patrol wagon or in the morals court
How about their mothers, broth
ers, etc.? How about the wife, the
children, the fine, the Bridewel Of
the ones you had arrested?
Just imagine the feelings Of the
girl and the preacher that was ar
rested at the Art Museum recently.
What awful crime against the mo-
raj law could they commit on Mich
igan av.? What good motive had
the ones who called the police? Did
they care for the girl? Or did they
show any feeling or sympathy for
her mother, brother or sisters?
The only good that I can see from
that arrest is that a teacher of such

AGAINST WAR. - War saps the
foundation of humanity; killing is an
objectionable crime against God, for
man is an edifice built by the hand
of the Almighty. Peace is life inCar-
nate; war is death persOnified. Peace
is the divine spirit; war is satanic
suggestion. Peace is the light Of the
world; war is stygian darkness and
CimIherian gloom. All the great
prophets, ancient philosophers and
heavenly books have been the har-
bingers Of peace and monitors
against war and discOrd. This is the
divine foundation; this is the celes-
tial Outpouring; this is the basis Of
all the religions Of God.
Although the evils of war were evil
dent and manifest to the sages and
scholars, they are now made clear
and plain to all the people. No sane
person can at this time deny the fact
that war is the most dreadful calam-.
ity in the world of humanity; that
war destroys the divine foundation;
that war is the cause of eternal
death; that war is conducive to the
destruction Of populous, progressive
cities; that war is the wOrld-cOnsUm-
ing fire, and that war is the most
Tuinous catastrophe and the most
deplorable adversely.
The world of creation is totally de-
pTived of it's normal rest; the clash of
arms and the sound of mUrderOUs
guns and cannon are heard as the
roaring of thunder across the heav-
emily tract, and the explosive mate
rails have changed the battlefelds to
yawning graveyards, burying for
eternity the corpses Of thousands
