Rourke Players to
Stay in Omaha for
The Winter Months

Omaha seems to look good to mem
bers of the Omaha base ball team, for
about half OF the team intends to
spend the winter in Omaha this year,
There are a couple of reasons why
the athletes are remaining in Omaha,
one is that they like the town, and
the other is that it costs money to
move nowadays.
Marty O'Toole has made plans to
stay here this winter and Monday
morning goes to work for Ernie
Holmes. Cy Forsythe is working for
Earl Higgins. Bobby Marshall, Cecil
Thompson, Otto Merz and Lou North
are still in Omaha and expect to
stay.
Marty Krug has gone back to his
home in Cleveland, but expects to
return to Omaha about January l.
Harry Krause has pulled his freight
for San Francisco and the Colder
Gate, while Ray Miller has gone back
to breathe smoke in Pittsburgh. Joe
Burg will stay in Chicago, while Kew
pie Kilduff is down in Kansas. Ernie
Kruger is getting ready to hike fol
his coaching job in Arizona, and Shat
Thompson has already made tracks
for his beloved Dixie land.

lean league FASTENERS. OF the fourteen

series the representatives OF the parent
league copied only two contests. Brooklyn
grabbed one of the worlds series with the
Red Sox and the Cardinals suceeeSSd In
downing the Browns once out of Ave starts.
In the Chicago series the American
leaguers had their National league rivals
gasping for breath. The white Sox started

and thereafter they never even hesitated

STATE TOURNEY TO
OMAHA ONCE MORE
Happy Hollow Club Will Get the
1917 Nebraska Golf Cham
pionship Event.
LINCOLN LOSES OUT. AGAIN

The 1917 Nebraska state champion
ship golf tournament will be held at
the Happy Hollow club.
The board of directors of the state
association has not yet definitely de-
cided upon the location of the 1917
tourney, but conditions haye so
worked themselves out that The
Happy Hollow club is practically
assured of the event. =
The Lincoln Country club was to
have been given an opportunity to
entertain the tourney. In fact, Lin
coin was offered the event last year
because of desire to boost the golf
game out in the state. But Lincoln
wasn't in position to handle it, SO
the Field club got it.
Must Improve Course.
The Lincoln Country club course is
not in condition for state tourna.
ment, according to some of the direc-
tors OF the association, and Lincoln
will not be awarded the event unless
the course is improved. The capita
city links were but recently construct.
ed and it is only natural that they will
not be of the same class as the Omaha
links unless considerable money i:
spent on them. 1t is said two or three
OF the directors of the Lincoln clut
refuse to countenance further expen
ditures on the golf course, even ii
order to hold the big state tourna
ment, and this means that once NOR,
the event will be given to Omaha. A,
the Happy Hollow club is next il
line, that club will be awarded tn,
tournament.

GUN CLUBS PASS UP
CHANGE FOR TROPHY
Only Sixty Three Clubs Take
Advantage of 0ffer>Made by
Interstate Association.
SEVEN HUNDRED FORMED
BY PETER P. CARNEY.

At its meeting last winter the In
terstate Association for the Encour-
agement of Trapshooting decided~to
give trophies to the nrst 200 newly
organized gun clubs in l9l6-the only
thing necessary on the part of the Of
fcers of the new gun club being to
inform the secretary of the Interstate
association OF the formation OF the
club.
More than 700 gun clubs have been
formed this year and of this number
only sixty-three have been wide
awake enough to get in touch with
the Interstate association. Therefore
the Interstate association has only
given sixty-three trophies. The fact
that the Interstate association would
give such trophies was given due
mention in all sporting publications,
yet it appears that very few of the
clubs know OF the offer.
The idea of the Interstate associa-
ton was to aid the new clubs in their
formation by giving them trophy
for which they could hold weekly or
monthly tournaments for during the
year. The Interstate association is
always willing to aid the gun clubs
and new organizations can still get in
on the offer if they communicate with
Secretary Shaner. The Interstate
association has the trophies and will
willingly give them to the clubs that
should get them.
The clubs that took advantage of
the offer in September were: The
Port ST. Joe Gun club, Port St. Joe,
Fla; Princess Anne Trapshooting
club, Princess Anne, Md; Leominster
Sportsmen's association, Leominster,
Mass, and the Parkton Gun club,
Parkton, Nd.
Thus far Iowa leads in the organi-
cation of new gun clubs with ten; In
diana and Kansas come next, with five
each; Illinois with four and California,
Delaware, Maryland, Michigan, Ne
hraska, New York and Ohio formed
three; Virginia, West Virginia, Penn
slyvania, formed two, and South Da-
kota, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma,
Montana, Missouri, Minnesota, Massa-
chusetts, Florida, District OF Column
bia, Colorado and Connecticut, ono
each.

Omaha Man Says Leonard
Is the Coming Champion

The greatest lightweight ! ever
saw" is the way Carl Marfisi des-
cribes Benny Leonard, the New York
lad, who put the fixings to Ever
Hammer at Kansas City last week.
The Omaha fan went to Kansas City
to see the fight and returned with
nothing but praise for Leonard. .
Hes the coming champ, that boy"
said Marfisi. "I've seen most of the
champs in my day, but none OF them
ever had anything on Leonard. He's
fast and clever and shifty and he
carries the punch. Mark my words,
he's going to be the lightweight
champion before long"
