The game last Wednesday n.gnt be-
tween the South Omaha all-stars and the
Omaha all-stars ended in a victory for
the Omaha crowd who had a 10l pin lead
at the end of the three games To COM
plete the match, another three games will
be rolled sunday afternoon on the Nor
rison alleys
The Brandes High Balls have been ac-
cused OF getting down to the alleys early
and occupying both alleys until 8 O'Clock
which keeps their opponents from OBJ
tanning practice before the game. Why
don't the opponents get down a little
early and jump into the game? They
are welcome.
Sutherland's departure from the city
leaves hard gap to fill in the lineup
This is the second serious blow to them
this. season. Jim Blakeney departed
filled by Anglesburg, but 1t will be hard
to fill Sutherland's shoes, as the supply
of sharks is nearly exhausted

They are having lively times at the
Gate City league. Every team says that
some rule was made to keep them from
winning the pennant- Just at present Joe
Dober seems to be having the most
trouble, owing to what he says is a rule
that no new player can join the league
unless he has both arms and legs cut

worlds best bowler, is intending to stop
In Omaha about New Years day on his
way back to his home in Pueblo. He has
been making circuit of the middle west
ment, where he won second place in the
Individuals. He Is anxious to take on

Since changing their names the Learys
Engravers have been setting the Gate
City league on fire. They have been win
ming all their series They are not con-
tent with two games, they usually take
three. The Eagles, another second di-
ing 1t hot for their opponents. Their

from the team at the top of the list.
The rivalry between last years Mutt
and Jeff teams has been revived and they
will probably stage their first fray on
the Morrison alleys. Ralph Sciple is the
smallest fellow on the Mutt team and
Barney Shaw is the largest man on the
Jeff team, so 1t Is plain to be seen there

two teams. The Nuts outweigh the
Jeffs. but the latter have more speed,
It is hard to understand what is the
trouble with the Beacon Press team In the
Booster league. They have been in the
second division all season and even at
present don't show any signs of taking
any rapid rise in the league standing.
With such sharks as Madun, BalZer
and Goff in the lineup, and with such
good follow-up men as Green, kranda
and Mokry, this team ought to make a
better showing.
