winners of division 2, will resume

less the regular players are unable
to play.
However, according to Manager
Williford last night, the Holmes
Juniors are in the best of condition.
Should Walsh start the game or
play, unless the other utility or
regular players are unable to, and in
event they are victorious the game
will be forfeited to the lodgemen.
Next Sunday the final game for
the championship will be staged,
when the winners meet the Meyers
Bearcats, division 3 pennant win
.ners.

Omaha daily bee., 1919-09-21
By A. L. LANGTRY.
(Secretary Of the American Bowling
COngress.)


Wonderful strides will be made
this year in bowling, and every
tournament that was abandoned
temporarily during the big quarrel
across the water, will be resumed
during the coming fall and winter.
All of the national, state and city
tournaments under the jurisdiction
of the American Bowling congress
were held as usual during the war,
but several sectional tournaments
we're passed by the boards. The lat
ter are being revived and are com
ing with a rush, and bowling every
where will be at the apex of its
popularity during the next six
months.
The first tournament to be held
will be the Middle West association
that will conduct its annual keg-
elfest at Omaha this fall, beginning
the latter week of November, and
from indications the tournament
will be greater and grander than
ever as good men are at the helm
and Omaha touches a good bowling
territory.
The international tournament will
be held at Minneapolis opening its
doors about February 20, 1920, and
they will draw we'll this year, es-
pecially from the Canadian pro-
vinces, as the boys who have re-
turned after four years of war are
keen for any line of sport, and they
will, without a doubt, flock to the
Minneapolis headquarters when the
call is issued to the northwestern
states.
Tourney at Vancouver.
The Canadian and Northwestern
tournament will be held at Van
couver, and will be a resumption of
bowling in that district. Their dates
have not been set. but they always
bowl later in the season, about the
same time as the Pacific Coast
Bowling association, that will roll
at Oakland this year and not start
until about the first week in May.
The Pacific coast bowlers are
gradually building up a rafting
good association, and if they keep
a firm rein on the game during the
next few years with good officials
they can do great amount of good
for tenpins. Their territory gen.
orally calls for Denver as their east
ern boundary line, and this year
they will draw we'll from all that
district.

Murphys and Unions Meet to
Decide City Title Game
Large Crowd Expected to Attend Battle for Local
Championship; Managers Pick Star Hurlers for
Mound Duty in This Contest.

The eastern teams, according to
President Tom Nokes in his tele-
grams and letters to Secretary
Isaacson, are anxious to play the
game at Omaha instead of the east
ern cities.
Officials Up a Tree.
At the present time, the local Of
ficials are up a tree, as it is impossi-
Bile to secure the use of Rourke
park and Luxus park is too small
for the game. Fontenelle park is
the most suitable place to stage this
game, and if satisfactory arrange
ments are completed local fans will
have the opportunity to see the
eastern champs i'll action at Fon-
tonelle park.
Base ball fans throughout the
country and especially those in the
west are looking on with great in
terest in the coming worlds amateur
title game, and if the contest is ar
ranged here, no doubt the biggest
crowd that ever attended an anna
teur ball game will be in attendance.
The Murphy's stand a good chance
in winning the title, regardless of
where the game is played, but fans
are of the opinion if the game is
scheduled at Omaha the Western
champs will have all odds in their
favor.
First Time Here.
This will be the first time in the
history that the worlds title game
has been played in the west and if
the Murphy's carry off the honors
the worlds championship will re-
main in Nebraska, since the Lincoln
Cleaners and Dyers won the cham
pionship two years ago, by forfeit
when the Pacific coast champs re-
fused to play them.
The championship between Pitts
burgh, Canton and Johnstown will
be settled sometime this week, and
President Nokes of the Federation
promised to advise Secretary Isaac
son Immediately the winners so ar
rangements for the big game can be
made. Whether one game will de-
eide the championship or the best
two out of three is still an uncer-
tainty, but it will probably be two
out of three. since the other cities
are playing it off in this manner.
Lineup.
Following is the lineup for this
afternoon battle between the Muir
Dhy's and Unions.

Bowling congress will be conducted
this year under the banner of the
Peoria Bowling association opening
March 10 and closing the first week
in April.
In Good Location.
The. location OF Peoria is we'll set
for big tournament, and while
they may not draw the entry that
Toledo did last spring when they
piled up 7o6 teams with CORE
spending number of doubles and
singles, still it is anticipated that
Peoria will draw from 800 to 700
teams, and with this entry will make
things hum for four weeks in what
used to be the Still city, but no
more.
A big meeting of the Peoria bowl
ers will be held on Saturday, Sep
TENDER Is, and the officials of the
Peoria Bowling Association, as well
as the officials of the American
Bowling congress, will participate in
the meeting.
Anticipating an early rush for
choice dates, the bowlers of Chicago
have reserved alleys for $50 teams,
Milwaukee for IS teams, Cincinnati
for 20 teams, Indianapolis for 20
teams, and some smaller reserva-
tons have been made by cities who
wish Saturday and Sunday dates.
At this early date the wise bowl
ers who are handicapped by BUSH
ness conditions and can get away
from home only on certain dates
have picked up the choice Saturday
and Sunday dates, and the boys who
will wait until the last minute will
be up against the midweek dates as
usual.
The Pacific coast bowlers are TAX
ing quite an unusual interest in the
worlds championships this year and
there will be team from Oakland
and another from Frisco this year
which will give quite a representa-
ton, as assurance has already been
received that teams will be entered
from New Haven, Conn; Vancou-.
yer, B. c.; Mobile, Ala; San An
tonic, Tex, and several other dis
tant cities, so that the twentieth
tournament will bring together a
widely assorted collection of bowl
ing enthusiasts, and as their best
bowlers will make the trip, some
high and mighty scores are looked
for.

BY WILLIAM o. BLOZIES.

City championship honors are at
stake this afternoon at Luxus park
when the Murphy-Did-Its, pennant
winners of the Greater Omaha
league and Class A. A. champions
of the Western Amateur Base Ball
association, lock horns with the
Union Quitting company, City
league champions and Class B city
champs.
This contest no doubt will be hard
fought from start to finish since
both aggregations are out to cop
the rag. Both the Murphy's and
Outfitters have played remarkable
ball this season in their respective
class.
Large Crowd Expected.
From present indications large
crowd is expected to be on hand to
cheer their favorites on to victory.
Although the Unions are going out
of their class in this battle, never
theless the players, as we'll as the
City and Class B supporters are con-
fident the younsters will give the
Western champions a good run for
their money.
Manager Pascal announced last
night that Harrison Sucker, who
several weeks ago pitched a no-hit-
no-run game against the Western
Union team will be on the firing line
for the Outfitters, with Guinotte be-
hind the bat Manager Lawler
stated that Butch" Hay will be his
choice against the Class B cham
pions.
In former years, however, a three
game series for the city title be-
tween the Class A and B warriors
was staged, but on account of other
plans, only one game will be pulled
off this year.
To Pay Expenses.
The money taken in at this game
will go towards paying the ex-
penses of the Class A. A. winners
of the National Base Bali Federation
when they play the Murphy's here
probably next Sunday for the
worlds amateur base ball champion
ship.
Although it was at first planned
to play the winners of the National
Federation, either Cincinnati or
Cleveland, who are deciding their
race today, here next Sunday, word
was received by Secretary Isaacson.
that these teams are playing it off
for the Class A title, and not Class
A. A. as formerly announced.
According to the latest advices
received by Isaacson, Pittsburgh.
Canton and Jamestown are fighting
it out for the Class A. A. title. SO it
is uncertain when the game will be
played here, but in all probabilities.
it will take place week from next
Sunday.

OMAHA ARM0URS
WIN FIRST CAME
OF PLANT SERIES
Locals Defeat Crack St. Louis
Aggregation, 6 to 2, Going
Behind Early, But Later
Forging Ahead.

The Omaha team of the four Ar
mour packing plants, playing for
the base ball championship of the
plants, defeated the St. Louis club
yesterday afternoon, in the first
game of the final series to decide the
championship. The final score was
6 to 2.
The visiting club scored two runs
in the first inning, on a single and
a home run, but that was their best
effort and the only runs they made.
The score held at 2 to 0 until the
fifth inning, when four successive
hits, two of them doubles, scored
four runs.
In the sixth inning the local
packers again punched hits and put
over two more runs. This was the
end of the run getting and the final
count remained the same as at the
end OF the sixth frame. The OPP
posing pitchers, Dyck of Omaha
and Smith of St. Louis, each pitched
splendid ball, either of them de-
serving victory.
1t was a good game and they
promise to- repeat today in the
double bill. Armours' Full band
was on hand and led the crowd in
cheering the local plants players to
victory. About 1000 fans saw the
game and it is probable that more
will be on hand today, as only
about one-third of the tickets
sold were taken up at the gates yes
terday.

afternoon. Admission to grand
stand or bleachers will be so cents.
