GREATER OMAHA
LEAGUE OPENS
WITHfAST GAME.
Three Speedy Contests Fea-
ture Class A First Night;
ToWnsendS Win From
The BoWens.

Ushering in the 1920 amateur bas-
ket ball sea son in the Greater Oma-
ha league. the class A circuit at the
Young Mems Christian association
last night, the H. R. Bowens and the
Townsend Gun company quirtets
had the honor Of staging the first
extra period contest in amateur bas-
ket ball circles this season.
After one Of the hardest fought
and most interesting games seen on
the ~" floor, and played before
a crowd estimated at nearly 500, the
Bowens, under the coaching of Gus
Miller, won from the Gunners by the
score of 70 to q, through the re-
markable teamwork and perfect
basket shooting of Root, right for
ward, and Art BROMLEY, left for
ward, who divided the honors in the
score column. However, Roots five
points in the extra 5-minute period
were responsible for the Furniture
lads victory.
Tied the Score. -
Coming from behind in the last
half, with the score IA to against
them the Townsends put up a game
fight, and with but seconds to
play, Allen, left forward, shot a field
goal from practically the center of
the floor on dead run and tied the
score.
However, in the extra period, the
Bowens played the Townsends off
their feet; although the Gunners had
several chances the stars failed to
deliver.
Although the Omaha National
Banks defeated the Beddeos by the
score of 20 to 10, the Beddeos out
played the Banks, but were unfor-
tunate in shooting the baskets, the
ball refusing to drop safe. The Bed
deos, although they lost, deserve
plenty of credit for the fight they
put up against team much heavier
and players who have participated
on former championship teams. The
C1othiers lived up to their reputa-
ton as speed artists" and displayed
plenty of pep throughout the entire
contest. Monk" Manske was the
chief basket shooter for the Banks,
while the all-round playing of the
Beddeos featured for that team.
Commerce Beats South.
Commerce High school quintet de-
feated the South Omaha High III a
exciting contest by the score of Is
TO 1S, taking the lead in the first
few minutes of play. Although the
game was hard fought, South High
lacked the "old fight" while Com
merce, properly rained by Coach
Drummond, displayed plenty of pep.
Tonight at the "Y" the Church
league teams will entertain the low
ers of basket ball, the opening con-
test starting at 7:30 O'Clock.

BY A. L. LANGTRY,
Secretary American Bowling Congress,

The grSat bowling state of Illinois
has had the honor of entertaining
the bowling hosts on three different
occasions and when the evening OF

The bowlers did not return to He
nois for several years, or, to be ex.

invitation in 1912 and the first big
tournament was held; that is, the
first tournament with over 500 teams.
The entry jumped to 500 teams and
was teralded the world over as the
greatest collection of athletes that
had ever been held
During the spring of 1915 the
bowlers visited Peoria, H., for the

grand success, with an entry of 5l3

Winter and Catarrh are compan-
ions in evil. Catarrh is sweeping
civilization from one continent to
another, because civilization does not
follow Natures laws. Nature tells
US what to do and we pay no heed.
Down deep in the body OF man
lie streams Of blood, going every
where and making complete cir
cult of the body every few seconds.
In these rivers, brooks and stream
lets Of blood flow millions of little
soldiers called corpuscles, whose
duty it is to heal hurts, expel the
enemies Of man-germs-from the
body and carry away impurities.
Nature, with the blood, builds
bone and hair and teeth and flesh.
She does this so quickly and with
such absolute perfection that if we
put into our mouths and stomachs
the things the body needs, nature
will distill her own chemicals and
build up any torn-down portions.
Catarrh is a.tearing down of nu-
cous membranes. A mucous mem
brane is one of the wonders Of sci
ence. 1t does the important work
of the body in some lines. When
it becomes diseased you quickly have

ANNOUNCEMENT

I hereby announce myself as can
didate for representative from the
18th Legislative district on the re-
publican ticket. subject to the will Of
the voters at the June Primaries.
In asking for your support you are
entitled to know what my attitude
might be on the vital questions con-
fronting us today. =
In this crisis the government of the
United States is appealing to US to
come to it's assistance by producing
more and consuming less. In this pro-
gram of increased production there is
one industry that stands, out very
prominently and that is the farming
industry. The fact must be admitted
that the needs and requirements of
this industry must De recognized, and
any effort and any legislation that has
for it's purpose the development, the
encouragement and maintenance of
this industry should have the whole
hearted support of all good citizens.
It is the fundamental industry upon
which all other industries are based.
An effort should and will be made to
make this industry more attractive
and more remunerative, so that the
tide may be back to the farm, in con-
trast to the present tide Of away from
the farm. This can only be accomp-
lished when the industry is elevated
into higher sphere, made more re-
muperative from a financial stand
point and more attractive from a So
cial standpoint. Any legitimate
grogram that has for it's purpose the
betterment of conditions on the farm
and enhancing it's productive power
shall have my whole hearted support.
The business of the country is vi
tai cog in the machinery of produc-
ton, and capital invested in business,
farms and other industries and enter
prises is entitled to just and fair
consideration in order that it may
function properly and cooperate with
other industries in the program of
production that is before US.
Perhaps at no time in history has
calm, deliberate and unprecedented
Judgment been as essential as at the
present time. Prejudice should be dis
carded and all problems weighed in
the scales of justice and equality. No
program OF any other nature can or
will prevail. A program of justice to
all is the only one which can and will
stand the test of time. If elected, my
efforts shall be directed toward the
support of such program, with spe-
cial privileges to none and equal JUS
tice to all.
On this platform I solicit your sup
port, which will be highly appreciated.
