Pesek-Londos Match
To Be Staged in Omaha
Auditorium Friday

When the army officials decreed
that the Jim Londos-John Pesek
wrestling match should be called
off, Jim Londos was diseonsolate.
He stayed in Omaha, hoping against
hope that the affair would still be
staged, but when it was seen that
nothing could be done, he was pre-
pairing to HE himself home.
Just at this point, Promoter Jack
Lewis informed the Greek cham
pion that the affair would be staged
next Friday night, so Londos re-
doubled his efforts to get in fine
shape and now declares that he
will surely pin the shoulders of the
Shelton phenom.
Tickets are on sale for the match
at the Auditorium, Paxton hotel,
Merritts drug store, Ernie Holmes
billiard parlor and Sachs cigar store.
1t is expected that the bout will
iraw capacity house. Ticket
holders for the original date will be
untitled to their seats Friday night.

tice of this or that team having been

5000 for the team, which is quite a
score at this early date.
The rules of the congress provide
! that the alleys on which sanctioned
leagues bowl their games must have
been resurfaced within twelve
months prior to the date the score
was bowled, or the scores will not
be officially recognized by the con-
gress and medals will not be awarded
to the contestants or teams, as the
case may be.
The Only way to ascertain this is
to ask the alley keeper who did the
work, and if the alley keeper did the
work himself it will not do any good
to have the league sanctioned, az the
congress will not accept the alley
keepers affidavit for the resurfaciug,
as the rules provide that the work
must be done by some reputable
firm Or individual who makes a reg.

From the number of leagues that

though there are going to be many
more medals distributed for 800
scores, or several 2oo scores, or sew.

the congress will give medals to all
the lucky bowlers who touch the

SO the congress may 60 literally

The congress has sanctioned
leagues as far away as Tampico,
Mexico, where the greaser is in his

1919 Base Ball Classic Has
Already Developed Stars
Who Bask in Fame's Light

kle, so Far in Sporting World-But-a Fateful
Error, Misplay, May Send Them Into Oblivion
With Stars of Other Days.

the Reds, but instead, Walter
Ruether, the hero. His transposi-
ton was fast, but it was sure. Today,
should he be the choice of Manager
Pat Moran, for the fifth game of the
series, and should his offerings be
lambasted throughout the field, he
would rapidly lose his popularity
and become the object of severe
criticism from the critics who play
base ball only by the box score and
the score by innings.
Likewise, Eddie Rousch, heavy
hitting and 1000 per cent fielder,
rises up to share honors with his
fellow teammates, Ruether, Wingo
and Neale. Rousch, contender for
the premier batting honors of the
National league, delivered in the
second game, which likewise was
tailed up in favor of the Reds.
Rousch is hero with the Red back
ers. An error today, that may
change the outcome of the present
series and he would be booted from
a Cincinnati field, the next time he
makes his appearance in a base ball
Uniform.
Larry Kopf, "Swede" Risberg
and Heinie Groh, also have slipped
at the fountain of fame during the
present series. Groh, the scrappy
third baseman and captain of the
Reds, although his playing has not
been as spectacular during the series
as that of Ruether, is the captain
who whipped team of castoffs
throughout the season into cham
pionship aggregation and one of the
most serious contenders for base
balls premier honors, that has ever
tackled an American league foe.

for the White Sox, who managed to
put across the first win for his team,
Friday, like Ruether, has been a
fair" pitcher, but one that kid"
Gleason, veteran of many diamond
battle, feared to place in the box
The "kid" had his opportunity and
delivered.
Series Not Yet Over.
The series is not yet over. Gin
cinnati has won three games, the
White Sox, one, an error. here, a
passed ball or wild pitch, during
the remaining games of the series
may switch the tide and e'er another
week is dawned the present leaders
may be dethroned and a new base
ball champion crowned.
Aside from its crop of stars. the
series will develop new miracle
man." Pat Moran of the Cincinnati
Reds, or kid" Gleason of the Chi
cago White Sox. Many there are
who look upon Gleason as the mana
ger who will yet pilot his team to
worlds championship, but just as
many there are who are confident
that Pat Moran. already holding the
upper hand, will be able to deliver
in the remaining games of the sea-
son.

During the past few weeks in
quiries have been received from San
Antonio, Tex; Oakland. Cal; San
Francisco, San Diego, Spokane and
New Haven asking the dates of the
coming international tournament
annually conducted by the Ameri
can Bowling congress, which is to
be held in Peoria, Ill, from March
10 to about April 4, 1920.
All entries should be forwarded
10 me at Us Second street, Mil
waukee, until February Is, and after
that date they should go to the JEFF
ferson hotel, Peoria, H., with assur-
ance that they will receive prompt
attention if dated prior to midnight
on February Is.
The Brunswick people have the
contract for II alleys to be laid in
the beautiful Coliseum building at
Peoria, and construction will begin
the day after the annual Washing
tons birthday celebration, which is
generally held at the Coliseum in
the form of banquet by the Peoria
business men and their friends.
This will give the alley builders
chance to get the IA alleys installed
and in the finest of shape prior to
the opening on March 10, so that
the bowlers will have an oppor-
tunity to knock the naples for rec
crds.
The first actual entry received for
the tournament has come from the
Lins Weiners Of Milwaukee. They
are real bowling team, composed
of enthusiasts who attend all
tournaments under the leadership
of Fred Lins.
Lins' team has won the city cham
pionship at Milwaukee twice, and
are always a dangerous proposition
for anyone to tackle, as we'll as be-
ing a high-class tournament team,
and one that is liable to slip over
a big total just like the Oshkosh
boys did at Toledo last March.
To Go Transforming.
By the way, the Athearns of Osh-
kosh are to start on transforming
tour throughout the state of Wis
consin shortly and will appear in
Milwaukee at the jumpoff, meeting
last years state champions of Wis
consin, Jonas Cadillacs, who won in
against 500 other teams
who were entered in the Wisconsin
state classics and which is consid-
cred one of the classy teams in Wis
consin.
The Oshkosh boys may make the
trip to Chicago and may possibly
go through Peoria to look, things
over, playing match games entour.
They are great bunch of pin get
ters and while they might be classed
as hicks by their city cousins, still |
they are just chicks" enough to get |
plenty of wood, and generally
enough to win all their match games.
We have seen boys before that
out of the bushes" as the
saying goes, and developed into I'M
Deatable champions, and it is safe
to say that the percentage of good
boys are not from the big cities
when you take into consideration
he number of contestants and the
small number of alleys in the coun-
ry and wayside districts.
The Athearns will be at Peoria,
md they will shoot we'll, hardly re-
beating, as it is tough proposition
o go near 5000 mark when you are
rying real hard, which they will be
LONG at Peoria, but they are good
pare bowlers, and 100 per cent en-
husiasm, which goes a long ways
owards making good anywhere.

Fame is a aeeting fancy.


Base ball, like all other fields OF
endeavor. has developed its stars,
PLAYERS whose deeds of skill and
science OIL the diamond have out
shone those of their brothers.
Worlds series stars have blazed
their way across the base ball hori-
zon, bright shining meteors, today,
unseen specks tomorrow.
Such is the case of Frank Baker
of bludgcon fame, while member
of Connie Mack's invincible base
hall machine, Big Chief Bender,
Frank Chance, Johnny Evers, and
other stars, whose names like their
faces now are numbered among the
missing in the base ball world.
Missing, though they may be from
the ranks of the boys now making
history on the base ball diamond,
nevertheless their records will stand
as fitting memorials to their prowess
in the days of yore.
Some wag has said of the profess
sional base ball player. that one
day they are heroes, idolized by the
devotees of the diamond, the next,
and how true it is, they nave been
displaced, even more quickly than
the late lamented William Hohen-
zollerr of German renown. Once
displaced. however, they seldom
have The ability to keep before the
eyessof the sporting world.
"Boners" Are Remembered.
"The good one does lives after"
sometimes is true of the heroes OF
the diamond, but frequently the
bones bali player makes is what
makes his name famous, viz, the
far-famed Mr.. Merkle.
The 1919 classic of the base ball
world. now being played between
the Chicago White Sox of the Amer.
lean league and the Cincinnati
Reds, champions of the National
league. is not unlike its predeces-
sors. 1t has, although but four
games have been played, developed
