h is "dope?" Followers of base ball
are filled with II; the pony boys are per-
haps just a short distance behind; the fol-
lowers OF the fighting game are in the
running, but the only genuine simon pure.
article is the ALLEY DOPE
this indoor sport has taken hold of
the entire country the dope has been
handed dow and enlarged upon, until It is
In a class by itself. On a recent visit TO.
the st. a international Bowling tourna-
ment one was particularly impressed by
the ALLEY dope talk made by the best
of the country.
One man said numbers s and Z hook"
8 backs up No. 4 does so and so.
and thus it went, each playing the dope
and getting very few pins, while the man
played tenpins and not dope got the
and copied the prizes.
dope Versus 'Ten-PfnH.v
One man, and a fine bowler, too, played
in his first game n got las total,
the last two games he played tenpins and
ended with a total Of 500, the dope proba-
bly, losing him a bigger score.
There are several of the best Omaha
who are strong on the dope"
proposition, n while they get big scores
on their home alleys, they fail away from
surroundings.
Such men Of national reputation as
Steele, Petersen, Banghart, Flenner,
Steers, Shaw and Blouin, by constant study
Of alleys and continuous play, may posi-
bly, figure out the alley and gain some
bins, but the best advice to the average
bowler, who goes to a tournament with the
and hope of getting well into
he money, is to play tenplns, 1. e., shoot
nto the head pin and take chances on
splits. If he will keep pounding the head
pin It will generally leave an easy spare
o shoot for, but just let him miss it and
ne will nave nothing but trouble.
Bikes and Springs to Meet.
One Of the best matches Of the season
will be bowled this week in the Com
nercial league. The Omaha Bikes will
with the Willow Springs team. II
he Bikes are victorious 1t will practically
inch the hold on the pennant for this
season. If the Springs win 1t will give
still a chance to beat their rivals to
he place.
The Yousems Colts will meet the strong
Iudahy team in the Booster league this
week. This also should be a fine contest,
Is both teams are going strong and it
Will take but a few games for the Colts
o cinch the place in this league.
Attention of the Omaha bowlers will be
allied to the Detroit meet. which opens
%. The Omaha bowlers will
the Sd, 4th and 5th, and also on the
1th, 18th and 18th.
The Metz, Storz. Willow Springs and
Booster will play the pick of the Omaha
'owlers being used In these four teams.
Notes of the Individuals.
Wood Hartley is now leading the Omaha
eague in high average. Neale finally broke
he tie by falling down In hts totals the
asst week. Hartley is probably the best
If the real old timers.
The Mccord-Bradys and the Omaha Bed
ling Co. are again tied for a place in the
irst division in the Omaha league.
