Visit America NEW YORK, Deo, 18—Golfers are keenly Interested In a report that Harry Vardon and several other famous English professionals will tour America during the coming season. Vardon, Taylor, Ray, Braid and other one-time holders of the English open championship, played a se- ries of four-ball matches throughout Eng- land last summer, turning the net re- celpts over to war reliet funds. If proper arrangements can be made with a quartet of these players the scheme 6 to have them tour the United States and Canada in the 1916 season, with the same ultimate use of the gate receipts. Most of the professionals mentioned are past the age where their services would be acceptable in trench warfare, but they are understood to be eager to turn their golfing abllity into material assistance for England. Ray, Vardon and Brald had engaged passage to this country last sum- mer, but the sinking of the Lusitania caused them to abandon the trip, , Neb., Deo. 18.~(Speclal.)— BExeter High achool was almost compelled to g0 home acoreless at the hands of the Falrmont quintet, the game ending 23 to 3.

Speed Hurlers Are - Basier to Hold Than Curve Ball Artists Most baseball players who depend on speed for their getting by are casier to cateh than the fellows who twist and bend their deliveries. Walter Johnson is recognized as the speediest pitcher in the major leagues. When Gabby Street was released it was figured no catcher could replace him with Walter Johnson on the mound. Alnsmith showed it was easy to hold Walter. Now Ainsmith is to go. No doubt but that his successor will not allow Johnson's record or reputation to &0. Al Mamaux has more speed than any member of the Pittsburgh club. Yet Al is easier to hold than Babe Adams or even Bob Harmon. Marty O'Toole was not noted for his speed when he was up in the big show, yet George Gibson would rather catch a double-header with the speed boys working than he would half & dozen Innings with O'Toole on the mound. The corner workers cause the catcher to continually twist and squirm, while the speed ball does not have such & swerve and it is easier for the catcher to judge, Alexander has speed and also Averages of the Local Bowlers 166 Knott M5 1 143 12 140 140 Zimmer Hutohinson Kestor . 149 Quina 148 Harrington 18 NEB.

The long series of exhibition matches had been a sucoess throughout the jour- ney. The palr won most of their matches, scores were good and iarge crowds wit- nesed their performances. They were scheduled to appear in Kansas City, &t Joseph, St. Louls, Peoria, Indianapolis, Louisville and Dayton. Plenty of Rolling. There was plenty of excitement around the local drives to keep thé pin-tumblers busy throughout the week. The Farnam and Brunswick merry-go-round tourna- ments are drawing lots of play and com. | petition. Joe Berger's Christmas prize |contest is also keeping the Morrison | drives busy. The big event of the week was Dad Huntington's mixed down-and out tournament Friday night. Sixteen an assortment that keeps the batter guessing, but then he is not a hard man to work with, according to Bill Killifer. The wonderful control of Alexander al- lows the catcher to know just about where the ball is going to land and the hooks slap into the glove as though pro- pelled with the aim of a rifle. Nap Bucker, slowest of slow ball pitchers, is harder to handle behind the bat, says Lew McCarty, than most of the speed fellows he has caught.
