4 ) A THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: BUNDAY, VEMBER 8, 1903. GOLF STHS ARE AT REST O'Nll lmh&dl the Bport 8o Far as Bohedes Are Conoerned. RECORD OF (AHA CLUBS FOR THE YEAR With thedvent of November, what is known as 'e regular golf season came to an end ar Do more events are scheduled for competion at elther the Fleld or Coun- tory. TH game has aged another twelve months ¢4 the golfers, as a class, are bet- ter plays than before. A very material factor imeoquiring proficlency In the game of golf | experience and continued prac- tice. It/ #ald that a regular golfer should be ablepfter the r@iimentary steps have been adiired, to better his game by from two topur strokes In a year. Many have exceeds these figures, while others have not beq able to do as well. After a player has reched a certaln stage it is & hard mattefto cut off even one or two strokes from s game and do it fegularly. Thematter of a Tine medal score occa slonay Is no just criterion of a golfer's abilif. What he plays the course in reg- wlar] is the only true basis upon which any )layer's ability may justly be deter- mind. Occasfonally flashes of bril maybe all right from the spectator poir, but they are not satisfying to the playr himself, when he knows that on thejext hole or the next round he is Ilable o ¢ something that proclaims the novice. In he east it is customary—in fact it is madatory—that the regular players shall alhys play In pairs and that in each and evfy contest they shall return score cards to) box placed in the club house, for the pelisal of the captain in making out the hadicaps later on.

Morrill, who |s the winner of the annual fall cham- plonthip contest. THi Country club has been busy during the year. In addition to a number of con- tesp among Its own membership, the play- ers/have mixed up in contests elsewhere. Thf local contests have increased in num- ber and interest and a first-class aggrega- tion of golfers is being cultivated. L feature of the play at the Country ©itb is the Interest which has been taken fn the women's events. The principal erents of the year are the contests for the vomen's cup and the women's subscrip- fon cup. The winners of the women's pubseription cup during the year were as follows: rs. C, T.

Being younger than the Country elub, it has not had the group of first-class golfers Lhat its contemporary has, but the play this year has materially improved the ‘work of the golfers at the Field club, and #s the guifers continue their work further tmprovements will be noted. ‘The first contests of importance began last year, when the Fleld club cup was in com petition. Ths contest for this cup was ai handicap medal play at elghteen holes, the contests being monthly, and the cup was to become the property of the player winning 1t three times. It was finally won by C. R, M. Bone. Those who won it last year were @8 follows: W. E. Palmatier, C. R. M Boue, L. M. Talmage, V. O. Strickler, W, O. Giivart,' A. O. Hunt, H. G. Jordan, F. P. Reoney, L. D. Carrier and J. E. Bucking- ham. ¥For this year the winners were H. B. Morrill, J. Francis, R. Scott, C. R. M. Bone, E. A, Cope, Jack Sharp, N. F. Reckard and C. R. M. Bone. During this year a number of blind bogles and handicap contests were held up to July. In July the club held its handicap cham- ’,Mp.-mmmul.mm One of the leading events of the year was the contest for the club champlonship which was held last month and resulted in & victory for H. B. Morrill. Up to July of thik year most of the con- tests at the Fleld club had been at medal play. Under this method of play It was found that the members did not greatly im- prove their game, and so from that time forward all contests were held on the match play s n, and an immediate improve- ment in the play of each contestant was noted, as the match play system caused the players to put forth every effort to win each and every hole. In August the Fleld club enteriained the Waveland and Country clubs of Des Moines. In the contests with the Country club the Field club was de- feated by & holes, the score being 42 holes to 8. The Waveland players were de- feated by 7 holes, the score being 31 holes to 24. The Field club held three matches with the Omaha Country club, two of which were held on the Field club links, the Field club being defeated in all three events. In the last of these three contests the English or Nassau system of counting by points in- stead of holes was adopted, and the result was'10 to § points in favor of the Country club. The Field club justly regarded this as a marked stride forward, since they had come off victors in one-third of their in- dividual matches with the Country club players. For the next year the Field club is mostly concerned over the change of the greens, which has been talked of for some time. It is proposed to place a viaduct over the rafl- road track, about 100 yards south of the number I green and go right stralght across the track. The greens will be changed so that the number 9 hole will be in the vi- elnity of the club house. This will enable those players who wish to go only nine holes to wind up at the club house instead of going way across to the west Eide. It will also afford a regular nine-hole course for the women. It is also proposed to vary the monotony on the west side by removing at least two of the holes, to play which a contestant must go up one hill and down another, and then repeat the operation, to the middle fleld somewhere. The green keeper has already gotten the new greens under way, and they promise to be first- class greens. Among the other changes con- templated is one which provides for making the greens level. This would be a great help, the players contend, as under present conditions an approach shot or a long put cannot be Induced to stop near enough to the hole because of the slant of the greeis, and a player often loses one or two shots | on a green for that reason. The club year closes next month, when the annual business meeting will be held, and after it announcement will be made as to the plans for next year. The town of Leavitt, Neb., boasts of one of a few golf links which s controlled and maintained by the employes of a fac- tory. Leavitt is a suburb of this city, most of the residents being employed at the Leavitt sugar refining plant there, of which H. G. Leavitt, secretary of the Transmis- sissippl Golf association, s president. The course is of nine holes and measures 8,100 yards. Mr. Leavitt is president of the club, which numbers twenty members. Mr. Leavitt was also captain of the Trans- mississippl team which recently defeated the Western Golf assoctation team at Chi- cago. The links at Leavitt is lald out over property surrounding the factory. The links is credited with being one of the best in the west, as the turt is first-class and the ground undulating. One of the best ways in which a golfer may improve his game is to witness the playing of some one who is a top-notcher. This will do the careful student of the game more good thdn many other things which the average -golfer wndertakes. In this ¢ nnection It Is safe to say that the visit of the Oxford and Cambridge golfers to the United States the last season has done more for the game of golf than any- thing else which could have been devised. ‘When a golf contest takes on an Inter- national aspect it is then that the general public is interested at once and there is hardly a student of the game of golf In the United States but will tell you that he watched these contests with unabated interest If the visitors have taught our golfers any one thing above another it is the fact that the contests are won and lost entirely on the short game. There are many golfers who can hit the ball hard enough on the drive. One gets tired of admiring and trying only for the long drive, although it must be conceded there is nmothing finer. But when it s shown that the player making the long drive has nothing else which will commend him as a golfer, it 1s obvious that he has only acquired the rudimentary principles of the right ancient and honorable game of golf. It was in the approach and green work that the Britishers defeated and excelled the best players on’this side of the creek. This is an incontrovertible statement of facts, and {s further attested by the recent exhibition given by Miss Rhona Adair, the champlon golfer among the women of the British Isles. While Miss Adair drives beautifully,. it was shown that she excelled in the short work, and that some of her competitors could drive as long a ball, but that when it came to the short game they were not her equal. It is hard to estimate tho impetus given to the game in the United States by these visits from our friends on the other side of the creek. But it is evident that they increased the’ Interest and improved the play in & number of cases. ,Coming back to our original proposition,‘we therefore say It is necessary for a golfer to see good players in action, In order for them to learn how to equal it. Having witnessed the play of the best male and female play- ers of the Britishers, it Is now up to the golfers in this country to see that improve- ments are noted all along the line. Hugh Hamilton, a North Berwick golfer, has been appointed a green keeper at the famous royal and anclent links of St. An- drews to succeed the venerable “Auld Tam" Morris. The latter is to retain the title of honorary keeper of the green as long as his life is spared, and is to draw a pension. Hamilton comes from the links at Port. marnock, Ireland, where he was In charge of the coprse. The name of “Auld Tam" Morrls is familiar throughout the golfing world. A Scottish poet has pald him the followlng tribute: Where'er the game of Scotland runs— It and its minstrelsie— ‘When hearts vearn hame to preesy links, There's a kindly wish for thee. Our a'e. a'e wish is a lang, lang wish (But it comen frag a braid countree) An' ye. the burden Ts a”Diessing, Tam, for thee. The tact has often been commented upon that Omaha has more lawyers among its golfing element than any other city of equal size in the United States. Apropos of this the following story will ot be amiss: “Gowfln Geordie” Turp! while act- ing as the professional at the links at ‘Wichits, Kan., was a spectator in the court of Judge Dale. An important case was on trial, and it is sald that the judge paused, in the midst of his address to the jury and, leaning over to “Gowfln Geordie Turpin, solemnly and quletly propounded the following query: “Say, Turple. did you cut the turf on the sixth green this morn- Ing?™ ——— People having no false pride, serve Cook's Imperial Champagne at club and home banquets, entirely through prefersnce [COSSIP FROM THE CRIDIRON Game in the West is Making Great Head- way Just Now. MINNESOTA-MICHIGAN CONTEST A CORKER New =& Chance hip of the the Each Team Hi for the Champlo: Mg Nine for Yen One week ago six foot ball teams repre- senting all that was best in western foot ball met in annual contest in three games, which because of their intrinsi¢ import- ance and the vital influence they exer- cise on the ultimate outcome of the cam- paign for the western champlonship, were deemed by many to be the most important day for western foot ball, with the pos- sible exception of the big contests which are scheduled for Thanksgivi The history of previous “big nine" sea- sons records no Instance where so much was at stake on the developments of a single day. Although the struggle for the champlonship honors still remained un- decided following the games of a week ago, the battles were of much Importance in glving a line as to the probable out- come of the annual struggle for premier honors. Many believed that the champion- #hip would be decided by the Minnesota- Michigan game. But now that the elevens have come out of the fray with a tled score, the lssue is more uncertaln than ever and in the event that Chicago Is defeated at the hands of these institutions, the only thing upon which a claim for the western could possibly be based would be to give the highest honors to the one which makes the highest score against Coach Stagg's puplls. But the showing made by Stagg's team Saturday has set the foot ball world of the west talking as never before. That Chicago should defeat Wisconsin by a decislve score was never dreamed of, much less that she should de- feat the Wisconsin eleven at all. The game between Minnesota and Michi- gan was the seventh annual battle be- tween these elevens. The first of the games took place in 189 and for five years they continued to be an annual fixture of the schedules of these institutions. In 1897 ath- letic relations betweep-Minnesota and Mich- igan were broken off, and the historic game at Detroit last year marked the restoration of friendly relations between the institutions. The record of the six games constitutes a history of Wolverine triumph, for Minnesota has not been able to nego- tiate a victory since 18%. Kach year she succeeded in tleing the score and the an- nual contest mext year will doubtless wit- ness such a crowd as never heard of be- fore in western foot ball and which will exceed the crowd of 25,000 people Which witnessed the game this year, and which, in itself, is no small number of people. It has been said since the big game that Minnesota won, though the score was a tie. Crediting a statement like that would scarcely be doing justice to a worthy foe. Michigan's superior physical condition off- set Minnesota's superiority in offense and definse. But training is as ‘much a part of the game as coaching. Michigan had had as much bad luck in the matter of injuries as Minnesota, yet Trainer Fitz- patrick was able to get his men into shape, while Minnesota's trainer was not. After carrying the ball forty-five yards at a stretch, and then seventy-five yards to make a touchdown, it cannot be sald that Michigan did not earn a tia. Minnesota gained more ground than Michigan from scrimmages,, and also in returning punts and kickoffs. Minesota outplayed Michigan during a longer period than' Michigan out- played Minnesota. Yet at critical times Michigan was able to protect her goal line, and she was able to score against a deter- mined defense when she made her final spurt. The statistics, of the game, as looked at through Minnesota eyes, shows the fol- Minnesota.

This will give each about $15,000. The aftermath of this big affalr I8 almost as interesting as the contest itself. The Michigan men say that Minnesota was a¢ tually brutal, and the opinion has been generally expressed that Michigan will re- fuse to meet Minnesota next year. To offset this the Minnesota supporters say that Coach Yost signalled to his men from the sidelines during the game. Some of the big games of foot ball have been played, and as is usual in these con- tests there are many who profess them- selves as surprised. The Nebraska-lowa game and the Minnesota-Michigan contest, to say nothing of the Chicago-Wisconsin game, are some of the contests whict have furnished unexpected endings. The press reports to the Omaha papers from Towa City would make it appear that the Towa team was decidedly outclassed. The reports sent to the Des Moines and Chicago papers take a different view and hold that the two teams were on a par, but that the sensational and totally unexpected runs of the Nebraska captain turned the tide in favor of Nebraska. The Iowa team is much stronger than the supporters of the Nebraska team have given it credit for, and the' Cornhuskers' victory was secured only after the very hardest kind of uphill fight- ing, and then only after the fleet-footed captain had gotten away with a couple of sensational runs. Insofar as stralght foot ball is concerned the two teams were nearly on a par. although Nebraska excelled some- what in this respect. Since the game this year has been S0 hardly contested, local foot ball enthusiasts will lovk forward to the game between these two Institutions next year with more than passing interest, since the game will undoubtedly be played in Omaha. The two teams are playing under a two-year con- tract which negotiated last fall, In which It was stipulated that this year's game was'to be played at lowa City, or some point to be designated by the fowa management. An effort was made to have the game played In this city, but it proved unavalling. The contract also provides that the game for 1904 shall be played at Lincoln or some place to be named by the Nebraska authorities. The supporters and friends of the Cornhuskers have conferred with the management and the announcement has gone forth that next year's game will un- doubtedly be played in Omaha. The fact that the recelpts at Towa City were not sufficlent to pay Nebraska's guarantee fs ample evidence that the game should go to some ecity, For this year's contest certain patties in Omaha guaranteed Tows $1,000, but the offer was refused. All of which makes it more than a mere probability th, Omaha will be the scene of the big battle next year.

Suundays from 8 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. i Omaha, Neb. i and novel feature into the game of foot ball in their contest with Harvard Satur- day, October 8l. The ball was kicked off to the Carlisle full back. He was imme- dfately surrounded by the whole Carlisle team and when Harvard's forwards came down the line they looked in vain for the man who had ihe ball. Boon thereafter the Carlisle full back, who wore a sweater, was seen going up the fleld toward his op- ponent’s goal line at a regular Lou Dillon pace, and when it was too late it was dis- covered that he had the foot ball tucked beneath his sweater on his back. He had gotten into the midst of his team mates and the ball was hurrledly pushed under his sweater, and he had then taken to his heels, with his arms free, and the opposing team could not see that he bad the ball until he was past overtaking. There seemed to be nothing in the rules to cover this point, so the Carlisle team was the gainer thereby. It has been sald by prom- inent foot ball men of the east that the Carlisle team would be the best in the country if it only had a larger number of students from which to select a team. With a dearth of material, the Carlisle school has turned out a team each year that has given the strongest elevens in the east a hard tussle. Wisconsin's hopes for figuring In the race for the western champlonship went glimmering when she went down in defeat at the hands of Chicago a week ago. The mighty punting of Eckersall, who has been the bone of contention between Stagg and the Amateur Athletic union, was responsi- ble for Chicago’s victory. He put the ball between the uprights repeatedly on the Wace kick, and thereby won a notable victory for his eleven. The end of the Eckersall dispute Is not yet. Now that he has figured so prominently in the Chicago- Wisconsin game, the western colleges will doubtless look into the charges of profes- slonallsm which have been urged by the Amateur Athletic unfon. $tagg's: conten- tion all along has been that the colleges should not permit themselves to be die- tated to by thé Amateur Athletic union, The dally = practice at Crelghton was somewhat broken by the late rains, but things are going along prosperously again. The 'varsity squad played against the State Normal last Saturday and made a very creditable record considering that Crelghton and Captain Callahan were not in the game. A large number of students are taking an active Interest and are ap- pearing on the fleld for Instruction. This materially helps the coach with team work and is a great advantage, too, to the first team. Lungren, a new athlete from the medical college, proved his skill last Satur- day as tackle and is assured of a place on the eleven. Dwyer and McShane are also strong and are likely to be given a per- manent place on the first team. Next Saturday the Creighton eleven will en- counter the leather oval artists from the Haskell Institute at Lawrence, Kan. The Indlans are the largest and fastest team Crelghton has on its schedule and the game will undoubtedly be the hardest played in Omaha this season. The Indians In many games have manifested their skill and strength. So far this fall they bave de- feated Missouri and Kansas and played the University of Chicago yesterday. But Coach McDonald has great confidence in his foot ball pupils and with the assist- ance of the mew men has every hope of victary, WITH THE LOCAL BOWLERS Effect of thé Light Ball Rule is Now Being Noted in the Lower Scores. The lack of abllity on the part of bowlers to get their spares Is the most noticeable feature of the bowling season thus far. At the close of the season of 1%1-2 the use of ths light ball had brought forth a large number of men who were mortally certain | sequence. A lower percentage of strikes of getting ninety-five out of 100 spares, but the season which followed, of loading balls, in some cases 1o a weight of twenty-two pounds, has practically done away with the skill of many of these men, and their averages are taking a big tumble In con- has resulted from the use of the light ball. This has been attended with a cor- responding increased number of spares to shoot at, in which the proportion of errors is bound to be greater, but this does not account for all of the trouble. There has been no marked difference be- tween the work of the local bowlers this fall, as compared with the corresponding period for last year. It is too early in the year for the men to have rounded into form. The: players approach their best form along the first of the year. Thel g, Omaha bowlers are getting in shape to meet any and all comers. The local players will include many of those who have been active in outdoor sports during the year, but fnd their outdoor labors not to their liking in the winter months when the ther- mometer is hovering about the zero mark. The list of bowlers also include the man of business and those of the professions. Many of these are cramped up at a desk during & goodly portion of the day and a ‘whirl at bowling of an svening (oosens up the muscles and assists In keeping the general physical makeup in good condition. The game of bowling In this country is of very recent origin, comparatively, but its devotees during the winter months exceed those of any other sport. The fact that the game can be played of an evening, after the day's work is over, has been a Elmorl strong factor in the popularity to which the game has attained. The local alley owners have put forth every effort to put their ulleys in good condition. It was said for awhile that the local alleys were not on & par with those of other towns. If this was so, to any degree in the past, the conditions have changed so materially of late that the situation is now radically the reverse and the local alleys, for the major part, are credited with being equal to those.of any city in the west. That the local bowlers agree with this view of the matter is amply evidenced by the fact that the number of bowlers is much larger than before. The use of the smaller ball has practical- ly eliminajed the large scores which were 0 frequently noted in previous years. And there are many who hold that with the new ball the best of bowlers cannot roll thelr game with any degree of certitude. Rallroads, and splits, and sloppy strikes are the order of the day with the erack bowlers throughout the length and breadth brought to bear against the new ball can- not but result in its elimination if the present agitation is continued.

The cry against the small ball is not confined to the local bowles A protest has gone up from the rank and file throughout the land. But it will do little good. It was held that by the use of the new ball, after a bowler had attained a certain degree of proficiency, it was the exception, rather than the rule, for him to miss a strike. As & matter of fact, at the end of last year's season It was no uncommon occurrence to note that bowlers here and there throughout the land had secured the perfect score of 300. This placed the aver- age bowler at a decided advantage. It was argued that the No. 1 pin must be hit just 80 every time.
