involved According to Frank Rlha. the
local instructor Of the Tel Jed sokol.
the tournament will be merely for exhi-
bition and Instructive In its nature. The
entrants will be expected TO benefit by
what they learn rather than strive fer
Individual honors.
For the last five years the need % such
a tournament has been widely felt among
ths Bohemian athletes Of the middle
western states, especially Nebraska, as
II serves tile purpose Of instFucting the
athletes while they are all gathered In
ono place. Hitherto. hired gymnastic
instructors had to be sent out through the
state TO show the Bohemian athletes the
finer points of physical training. With
this new scheme in practice this method
will be abandoned.
Frank slhyetinsky. general commander
Of the Nebraska division OF the national
sokol. who is now directing q large class
Of turner's at Ravenna, Neb., win have

ment and expects MS Omaha class 20

Johnny Gonding. for eleven years a

Ice Ball is to Be
Given a Tryout by

ice ball." or base ball on skates. a
the east, will be given tryout by sew
eral amateur ball players Of Omaha as
soon as the weather moderates enough to
make II pleasant for players and speetar
tors alike. The game has already been
introduced in northern Michigan but no
attempt has been made to make the game
popular nor have any rules been estab-
lished other than the regular outdoor
base ball rules.
The local enthusiasts will endeavor TO
modify the game so that II will be both
safe and as thrilling, II not more So,
than the regular national game. Base
running will be one of the main features,
and sliding 10 bases feet first will I'M
doubtedly be barred. II has not been de-
cided what ball to recommend; the regu-
lar league ball or a ball about the same
size but no, as lively nor quite as hard
on the hands Is favored.
The Omaha adopters of the new game
believe that there Is no reason why II
could not be introduced with great sue
cess In the city and also in South Omaha
and Council Bluffs. They are confident
that many ball players who are also
skaters would take up the sport were II
projected.
The original ice bsll'' club will get
together in the near future at Lake
Manawa or Carter lake where a sheet
big enough for the diamond can be pro-
cured. and will do their utmost TO prove
10 all interested. both players and spec
tators alike. that this game could be made
extremely popular throughout the entire
country and that the crack OF the bat

fans. could be enjoyed the entire year

said: Il think the establishing of such

States would be Of great benefit to ball
players In general as il would give them
an opportunity TO keep in condition dur
ing the winter months as well as in the
summer. II would have a tendency 10

rounds OF thlrty-six holes would be
ordered on the same day in each section.
Those would be held not less than one
week before the day set for the beginning
OF match play. 10 permit an easy assem-
bling of all the contestants. One entrance
fee might cover the entire tournament
and an official OF the United States JOLT
association might be put in charge OF
each qualifying round. ..F
II is proposed that. no matter how many
should enter. only sixty-four could enter
the match play. and there could be no
congestion Of the field. In any event, Il
is pointed out. an excessive entry would
mean two days Of qualifying play instead
Of one. This is broad conception of the
situation. 1t is argued that the golfers
have nothing to study over and that the
mass Of detail incident to the handi-
Gaping OF golfers in all parts Of the
nation Ia avoided. II Is also argued that
the differences In the methods Of rating
players in various parts Of the country
will initiate against the handicapplng
plan.
However, as an argument against the
plan for sectional competitions OF a
qualifying nature. II is declared by some
that the, national championship to be
absolutely fair must be played over one
course, where the vast majority Of the
players are strange. The sectional idea
would permit tho majority OF golfers to
play over courses with which they are
thoroughly familiar. and in that way some
might have a decided advantage OF others.
With all entrants on one course. It ls
suggested that the chances Of each player
are more on level. and that the handicap
method Is therefore considerably fairer

GOLF ENTRIES CUMBERSOME
Plan of systematizing Situation is
Talked by Golfers.
DIVIDE STATES IN DISTRICTS
Declared, However, that 20 He
Fair, Championship Play
should he Made ON One
Course.

NEW YORK. Jan. 13.-lt Is evident
that the national handicap now being
prepared by the United States Golf as
ISOLATION Is expected to be a method OF
reducing the number Of superfluous
entries which each year are becoming
moro and more clumsy In the national
amateur championship. While the United
States Golf association does not con-
duct any handicap competitions, this
method Is believed 10 be sufficiently
effective 10 bring about the desired
result. ANY project that will accomplish
that object Will be welcome. OF that
there is no doubt.
Some one has suggested that the
entries from each district be limited,
and II might be worthy OF considera-
ton. although the plan has not been
submitted to the United States Golf as
ISOLATION committee. Briefly, the idea
is to form general approximation Of
the strength as to championship timber
OF the minor golf associations and leagues
in all parts Of the country, and then 20
divide the United States into districts
and aIlOt 10 each n qualifying round
and a pro rata representation In the
championship. taking "a as a basis for
a week OF match play Of 81 holes. which
always has been accepted as the ideal
test.
Example IL shown.
One argument Is that It is only right
to give the district TO hold the cham
pionship greater representation than
il would be entitled TO I'm other years.
To work out the plan, let It be assumed
that the championship is 10 be held al
Chicago. The districts may be sub
divided or increased as the plan is gone
into, but as q start four broad divisions,
north. south. east and west. Will do.
The allotted representation might be:
East. %; west. %: north. including the
entire Pacific coast, 6; south. s: total.
"a. Canada might be counted into the
western division. the clubs of that
country being recognized by the Western
Golf association. and any entrants TO
play from abroad would naturally qualify
in the division to hold the champion
ship. A club on the border line Of
two districts would have to decide
between them, and in no instance would
player belonging In two clubs in two
districts have the privilege Of playing
in two qualifying rounds. The sue
