These names will be OF interest
PARTICULARLY to the gentlemen, but
they have their admirers among the
LADIES', too. They're a few Of the IA
nous sport writer's who are. going to
become regular reporters for, readers
Of The Omaha Bee.
In making plans for a number OF
constructive Improvements in the
service offered to readers of The
omaha Bee special emphasis was
placed upon sports. Every day in
every way sport is becoming a more
absorbing topic in the American
household. Dad is a prize fight ian;
mother is playing golf, son is an en-
inusiastic follower of the baseball
dope and daughter has to keep In
touch with the football situation. And
so. the sport pages become more and
more a vital integral Of th> modern
newspaper.
Star Writers Obtained.
1t is pretty generally Acknowledged
that the sport pages Of The Omaha
Zee are the best published in this
territory. But this did not entirely
satisfy The Omaha Bee. 1t decided
to make them even better. That's
why arrangements were consuni-
mated 10 have the five men named
above contribute regularly to the
columns Of this paper.
Damon Runyan and Grantland
Rice are two of the foremost sport
writer's in New York City--perhaps it
would be safe to say they are THE
foremost sport writer's ct the worlds
largest city.
Punyan's specialties are baseball
and boxing, although he writes ex-
pertly and fluently upon every sub
sct of sport. Rice is equally YER
satile, but baseball and golf are his
favorites, particularly golf, and his
Tales of a Wayside Tee" are classics
OF the sport page. -.
Humorist and Poet.
In addition Runyan has the reputa-
ION of being quite a humorist while
lice has earned a name for himself
a. poet.
Cummiskey, Walsh and Mercer
write upon any and all topics OF sport
with the expertness that only years
of experience makes possible.
But these are only a few OF the
men who will furnish sport news for
readers of The Omaha Bee. Through
the international News Service, the
Universal Service and The Associated
Press. readers OF this paper will ne
furnished with complete information
on all sport events no matter where
they may be held.
McGraw Joins Sta6.
Another announcement which WILL
interest baseball fans particularly is
that John McGraw. the famous nnan'
aeer of the world champion New
York Giants, is to become a con-
tributor to this paper. As soon ~s
he gets his team lined up for the play
ing season McGraw will write one
story a week regarding the race
in the National league, how the
Giants and the other teams in the
league are playing and what reaction
the events of the past week may have
on the various clubs and players. Nc
Graw"s story will appear in The Sun
day Bee each week.
Locally. The Omaha Bee will con
tinus to lead its field. 1t has stan
of trained reporters and writer's who
will keep its readers completely In
formed on every local happening and
will. as in the past, feature events
that take place in Omaha and the
adjacent territory.
