senger and everything else. He al
ways assisted, and was directly fe-
sponsible for the strong women's
bowling organization Omaha has
boasted of the last few years. Other
business has kept him too busy to
look after their interests this sea-,
son, and. consequently, they are not
as strongly organized as they should
be. There are plenty of women
bowlers, and all want to bowl, but
strong leader is always necessary,
and they seem to lack having one.
Manager Stunz is making arrange
ments for the heavy play which his
Farnam alleys will have during the
tournament. With the Omaha and
Farnam alleys so close to each other
all the entrants will have oppor-
tunity for practice play just before
going onto the runways. Most bowl
ers consider this practice a decided
advantage, but oftentimes are unable
to get it due to the long distance
between the tournament and other
alleys in the cities where other meets
have been held. Conditions in Oma-
ha are better for a tournament Of
this size than in any other middle
west city.
