The drawings made for the cham
pionship last night were more or less
unfortunate for some Of the Des
Moines players. Bert Mckee, winner
OF the low score yesterday, Is slated
to meet VIII Sheehan In case each
wins his match this afternoon, which
seems likely, and the winner OF this
feature match will then be paired
with Arthur Gordon In the third round
Thursday This means that two or
the capital city's star men will neve.
reach the semi-fnals. The enthusiasts
will doubtless crowd the beautiful
Country club grounds tomorrow as,
galleries for the tests of skill between
these Des Moines cracks.
