THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER JIMMY SMITH WILL BE HERE THURSDAY World's Greatest Pin Tumbler and Side-Kick, Alex Dunbar, to Shoot on Huntington Drives. OMAHANS WILL TAKE CHANCE The appearance of Jimmie Smith, the world's champlon bowler, and Alex Dun- bar, former champion in Omaha, is the biggest feature ever carded for the local bowling enthusiasts. | This pair of expert pin smashers have been traveling for several weeks through- out the United States, covering territory north of here from the Atlantic to the Pacific, rolling in all the principal bowl- | ing contsr and defeating practically all comers on thelr own home drives. They are now returning from the Pacific coast to their homes in New York City and | Brookiyn and will swop off for exhibition | matches on the Huntington alleys Thurs- | day afternoon and evenin Peer of All Bowlers. Smith is the main attraction. He s conceded by everyone to be the peer of all bowlers, a position never enjoyed by any bowler in former days. He has had Pitted against him all the good bowlers' in the country under conditions entirely unfavorable to himself and he has con- | tinuaily come out on top, causing all fol- Jowers of the game to concede that his supremacy is without question. His flawless accuracy and sameness of delivery are two attributes noticeable to the average onlooker. The stuff he puts | on the ball and the quick method he has in finding the workings of a strange alley can also be noticed by one familiar with the inner workings of the game. He has never met his equal and, while he has {oped in this country, estimates that there | Ques, $50; ball, $20; clubs, $17. |the initiation fees and dues, this is a | GOLF 1 EXPENSIVE SPORT Game in America Represents Ex- penditure of Mere $232,190,000 Each and Every Year. MOST COSTLY GAME OF ALL| Golf has had such a growth in the last | ten years, and the number of new courses Is growing so fast, that it is difficult to accurately estimate the cost of the game, which is base ball's greatest rival.

He estimates that the average membership is 260, though many clubs have a much larger member- ship. | Champlon Travers has compiled some interesting statistics regarding golf. He figures that the average yearly expense | for the man who takes up the sport for | |the first time is about $152.50, He pro- |portions it as follows: Initiation, %0; ; car fare, $20; caddies, $%. With the exception of | reasonable estimate, Travers estimates that the 360,000 golf- ers will spend $42,000,000, and that the ini- | tiation will be $17,500,000 a year more. He {says that the average acreage of the 1,200 clubs is 100, which s a trifle high when the number of nine-hole courses is | considered. He places a value of 8600 an acre, or a total valuation of $78,00),000 In discussing the cost of upkeeping, he figures $7,800,000, which appears some- what out of proportion, as most of the nine-hole courses average from $2,000 to $3,000, while a few of the eighteen-hole tourses will run over $10,000 a year. He says that the cost of the clubs, averaxing seven clubs to the bag, Is $6,125,000. ¥ig- uring that each player will buy on an average of one club a year, he estimates & further outlay of $575,000 for clubs. been known to lose matches here and there, due to the {n and out features of | the bowling game, it is & well-known fact | that he s unbeatable In a long series of | &ames under like conditions.

He is a vetran At the game and Is recognized s one of the best matoh game shooters the sport has ever provided. He has been con- mected with several matches for stakes passing the thousand-dollar mark and in & majority of these he has come out & victor. He throws a wide floater or #weeper, the ball hugsing the edge of the alley all the way down until within a few feet of the pins. =1 JIM THORPE CROWDS HIS Bowling lo‘-- ' Huntington, w! oreate |-unn ln Tl fino ta"& the | ho nl?;:“nurnlly. n-nn'lath\pm Wai taiking dance lnm mindedly an- urg that ‘fll&on the runways in the m ho'm are sure taking h-.ttn ey rolling M |eaddies earn about $60,000 a week, or a Ne is sotting Travers belleves the average profes- slona] earns about $1.200 a year.

PHILADELPHIA = LOSES OUT NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Unless there is & change of sentiment at Annapolis, the Navy is expected to reach an agreement to play the annual foot ball game with the Army at the polo grounds perma- nently. The West Point academy always has favored New York and is bound by contract to meet the midshipmen here Years ago, to select the battleground for alternate games, but it was learned last Saturday that the iniddles, after the suc- cessful manner in which the big contest in the Brush Stadium was handled by the New Xork Base Ball club, did not favor a return to Franklin Field, Phila- delphia, in 1916, The terms offered by the New York club, which governed the last game, con- vinced the Navy that New York should have the call in future. The New York club divided 26,000 free tickets equally between the academies and also guar- anteed $24,000 in cash, to be similarly cut up between the athletic associations. The academies, however, recelved the right to purchase 8,000 additional tickets at $3 each, the New York clubls guarantee to | be wiped out In this manner if all the tickets were sold. If the academies did not buy any tickets the ball club had the right to sell as many as possible to cover the guarantee and also to meet expenses, which included the building of temporary stands, the cost of printing, transporta- tion, police, - ushers, advertising, clerk hire and postage. Cinh's Profits Small. ‘The attendance was about 44,000, yet the New York club's profits were compara- | tively small. The most satisfactory fea- ture was the fact that the academles se- cured all the tickets they needed; an im- possibility at Franklin Fleld. In spite of | the rain and fog the crowd was well handled by the elevated and surface | roads. After the game It required less| than forty minutes to carry the specta-| tors away from the stadium. The only hitch was the belated arrival of the mid- shipmen at the field. The first battalion | was landed by a Pennsylvania railroad ferryboat at the foot of West One| Hundred and Fifty-fifth street at 1230 o'clock, The second battalion, on board a New Jersey Central ferryboat, | was carried up the Hudson to a point near Yonkers before the pilot discovered his error. There was no fog hanging over the river at the time, so that weather had nothing to do with the mishap. | Before they left for Annapolis many of | the midshipmen expressed the hope that | the game would be played at the Polo| srounds for many years to come, and they added that some of the most in- fluential men in naval affairs probably would take the matter in hand at an New York provides a neu- napolis no longer is a hardship.

Son of Millionaire is Fatally Beaten by Alleged Hazers ROANOKE, \n N fle" 11, = Thurber Sweet, the 17-year-old son of a Chicago millionaire, is dead of injuries which he claimed to have recelved by hazing at Virginia Military institute. He dled last night Sweet left the institute early in October, claiming that he had been beaten with bayonets. Students at Washnigton and Lee cared for him and Dr. J. M, Scott attended him. When Sweet's condition became worse he was removed to the in- stitute hospital, where he died. Stperintendent Nichols of the institute sald today that so far as he knew there was no truth in the claim that Sweet's death was due to hazing. Cotton Drops Two Dollars a Bale on Heavy Selling NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Cotton prices sustained a violent drop this morning and at one time showed a net loss of 36 to 42 points, or practically $2 a bale, under the previous night. Selling orders began pouring in from the south, indicating de- cided weakness in the New Orleans mar- ket and fallure to absorb these heavy of- ferings caused prices to fall away sharply. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 11.—Cotton val- ues shot swiftly downward today, break- ing from $1.70 to $1.80 a bale within the first thirty minutes of trading. Heavy selling by the bears, prompted by tension between this country and Austria-Hun- gary, was believed to be responsible for the break.
