Bee Juniors

Today's game between the Holmes
Juniors, pennant winners Of Division
2, and the Woodmen of the World
team. champions of Division !, for
the championship of the Omaha Bee
Base Ball association, has been
called off and will be played next
Sunday, If weather conditions are
favorable.
The Holmes Juniors defeated the
Lodgemen last Sunday, but the
game has been ordered replayed
since Manager Willford of the
Holmes used Player Jimmy Walsh
ct second base in violation of the
rule. Walsh was allowed the Juniors
as a utility man in the event that the
regular players were unable to play.
The Juniors had three men on
bench, Williford, Ravitz and Ferber,
but were determined to use Walsh.
Two games probably will be played
next Sunday so as to wind up the
season. The winners of the Holmes
Lodgemen tangle will clash with the
Meyers Bearcats, champions of Di-
vision 3, for the title. If it is de-
cided to play the double-header next
Sunday the games will be played in

Several 800 Scoes.
In case OF tie for these high
scores, both teams should be grant
ed medals For the last few ysars
several 800 scores have been
bowled each year In league, play,
and each bowler has received 4 gold
medal from the congress. This dis
tribution also applies to ties In othse
events than for first place. The sees
ond prize consists of silver medala
and the third prize Is . bronze
medal with proper engraving show
ing that the prize has been won In
world competition and the score Of
the Individual or team.
The highest recognized official
score ever bowled by five-man
team was turned in by the Detroit
Journal team OF Detroit, Mich, who
managed to total l,240 pins for one
game during the season of 1914
1915. Just imagine a team aver
aging 24S pins per man, which they
were obliged to do in order to turn
in score Of this size. It was q
great performance. The team was
no flash. as they had been going
good for a long while, and followed
this big score up with . tour OF the
middle west. making an excellent
showing and winning q majority OF
their match games. s
Several of the bowlers on the
team have won honors in city. state
and national championships, notably
the anchor man, Billy Miller. who
won the individual and the oil event
championship at Buffalo In 1914.
and is today one of the best bowl
ers that Detroit can boast OF.

BY A. L. LANGTRY.
(Secretary Of the American Bowling
Congress.)

Imagine the CONSERVATION and
disappointment of any amateur ath-
lete when he finds that his team
manager has neglected to ascertain
if the track is the right length, the
wire on the hammer too short or
too long, the tape they use is in
correct or anything that will de-
prive him OF worlds record, which
may be the only successful effort
of his lifetime, and you have be-
fore you the disappointment Of 4
bowler who relies upon his league
secretary or team captain to see
that his league is sanctioned and
the alleys on which he bowls his
games have been certified as being
measured and found correct by the
American Bowling congress. the
recognized authority in bowling
throughout the country.
1t is 4 simple matter to ask for
sanction for your league, as they
are granted free of charge, with
the provision that the rules of Or
ganized bowling be observed when
the league is in action. All alleys
in the country should be certified
as being properly constructed, and
Mr.. Alleyman will find that it is
great asset to display an alley GER
tificate to his patrons assuring them
that thew are ofavinp their games
on certified bowling alleys and will
have no fear that they will not be
recognized in case records are es-
tablished.
Each year in congress grant
medals to the first, second and third
high in the team event and the in

judgment on the part of some of US
to have taken page from Bills
book. But we evidently failed to do
so.
That which struck me as the out
standing feature of the Champion
ship was the tremendous number of
youngsters who sptang up almost
overnight from everywhere and in
variably made good. Add to the
number of those who qualified such
names as Perry Adair, Fred Wright
and Jesse Sweetser, youths who will
make good in another year, and it
can readily be seen that American
golf today is on an extremely sound
basis.
Time was-and not 50 long ago
at that-when it was a foregone
conclusion who would win. Nova
days it is different. Not 50 far
back it was considered a sacrileee
to consider anybody but Jerry Trav-
ers as having look in. A few years
before that there was no one but
Walter ]. Travis. These men were
always heavy favorites and they
would always come through. But
times have changed, and for the
best.
Felt Like Veteran.
Though only rs years of age I
left like a grizzled veteran as I
gazed upon Bobby Jones and Dave
Heron. And others too numerous
to mention impressed me the same
way. All of which points to the
conclusion that we will no longer
have to take a back seat in inter
national golf. Indeed, and we say
it with pride. England is in for a
big surprise one of these days We
were considered insignificant in the
golf world in 1914 when we had
about -four first-class players but
today with about 40 we think our
friends across the seas will have to
reckon otherwise.
Some critics are already saying
that the 1919 affair was fought out
and won by what they term dub
bles."

By FRANCIS OUIMET.

While the amateur golf cham
pionship is matter of the past
still this is fine time to comment
upon an incident or two that was
brought to light during that title
event. First of all the Oakmont
course proved to be the most exact
ing of any that it has yet been
played over and in making this
statement the writer does not ex-
cept even the difficult Brae Burn
links over which the open was
fought. Oakrlont demanded both
endurance and skill of the winner
and Heron more than proved his
right to the title by producing each
in equal quantities.
When l first began playing in
competition, this was not so. Golf
then required but the mere hitting
of the ball in the general direction
of the hole. If a player could do
this clean and squarely he had lit
tie to fear. The results were usu-
ally satisfactory.
Keep Eye for Positions.
But At Pittsburgh a great deal
more was asked. A player not only
had to hit clean each time but had
to keep an eye out for the best posi-
tons. There were choices to make
in playing the mashie. Sometimes
it was preferable to pitch to the
green and at other times the best
results were to be had by allowing
for 4 roll or run up shot.
One thing that was early brought
to my notice was the penalty one
paid for pulling a shot and the man
ner in which sliced balls escaped
trouble. Not that 4 player could
slice at will, but the sliced shot
rarely led to difficulties, whereas the
pulled drive seldom escaped them.
No less a person than Bill Fownes
who is given credit for the present
Oakmont course-found that a
sliced ball was the shot to play from
the tee. 1t would have been good

From present indications, and
from the result of the advance sale
of tickets, it is expected by the Of.
ficials OF the Municipal Base Ball
association that nearly $4,000 people
will be in attendance.
According to all reports the local
fans are heart and soul with the
Murphys, regardless of the fact that
during the regular league season
many of the fans were opposed to
the Murphys, but since they won
the championship everyone will turn
out in full force and cheer the
Omaha champs on to victory.
First Champ Game Here.
This championship event will be
of vast Importance for several rea-
sons, and it is a great thing for this
city to pull off the game, as it is the
first time in the history that the
worlds amateur championship bat
tie for the western division is being
staged here.
In former years the final events
we're staged in the northern or
eastern cities, and the locals were
forced to play on the foes terri
tory. This year. however. the 10
calls are playing at home, and since
the fans are with them they should
come out victorious.
The interest displayed during the
last week reminds one Of a world
series event
Chamber of Commerce, Rotary
club, Real Estate board and other
associations and business concerns
have bought tickets for their emf
ployes and have instructed their
employees to be on deck with horns
and other utensils, so as to make
all the noise possible.
1t is expected that Mayor Smith
will pitch the first ball, with City
Commissioner Butler or Falconer
doing the receiving. The city COM
inissloners will attend the game in a
body and will be seated behind home
plate, next to the press box
Organized Rooters.
Members Of the Chamber of
Commerce and Rotary club will also
attend the game in a body. This
is the first time i'll the history of
amateur base ball that either of
these organizations have taken such
an interest in the national pastime
and it is understood that the men,
bers of these CARNATIONS will take
an active part in amateur base ball
next season.
Since Butch Hay, the Murphy
Did-Its' crack hurler, will be on the
firing line, they are confident of car
rying off the championship, accord
ing to Manager Eddie Lawler. Man
ager Lawler announced that the
team is in the pink of condition and
is anxiously awaiting for the hour
when it enters the fight for suprem-
acy honors.
This will be the first time the
Murphy-Did-Its have represented
Omaha in the fight for the cham
pionship title, although in former
years they have played against the St.
Paul, Minneapolis and St. Louis
teams at their respective cities, play
ing for the Class B championship.
This season they entered Class A
and came out victorious with little
opposition.

should make rafting good match.
II the match takes place the Audi
