oo [ |y ) | iy ( THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 12, 1918. Who liked to play soccer for fun, This soccer, It seems, Is played by two teams, Who stop when the contest is done, There was & young fellow, named Gupn, Here’s to the football heroes fine who hold the palm today, And may they buck life’s crouching line as fiercely as they play. Anothe: Was watehing some nthlotes play soccer, He muttered, “By gee, If they're playl They con hang thel locker!® r young fellow, named Shooker, for me things back In the Judgments TUDENTS of foot ball who are inclined to belittle the impor- tance of the coach and insist . _the worth of an eleven is con- tained wholly in the players them- selves are having their arguments walloped right along this fail. The victory of Illinois over Minnesota a week ago was a startling proof of what the coach can do. Minnesota pos- . sessed what many experts believed to be the greatest team in the country, certainly the best in the west. {t robably is still a better team than llinois, and Minnesotans would be willing to gamble at odds that the sophiers could whip the Illini every he week. But on that one; didn't do it. Why? The an- swer is simple—Robert Zuppke did . Zup; knew he had a weak team, a team that, everything being equal, could not hope to cope with the stronger teams of the conference. So he began to build up an overhead at- tack. By constant application his eleven became proficient in the for- ward passing game. In the earlier games the Illini failed to show a thing., Zuppke suffered defeats at the hands of Colgate and Ohio in order to cover up his attack to be employed later and also to give his men plenty of time to adopt the open game. The result was that Illinois completely swept the Gophers off their feet with the new and unexpected style of play, It was practicaliy a Zuppke victory, and in that one game at least it was certainly 90 per cent coach and about 10 per cent team. Warner, at Pitts- burgh, is another example of what the coach can do. Pittshurgh was at least the equal of any team in thé east last year and is this year. It may be even better. And all because of Warner. Before the season ends our Ercdi;tinu is that Stewart of Ne- braska will lend another argument in favot of the coach. Stewart, like Zuppke, is taking things easy prepar- atory to exhibiting his real attack for the first time against Notre Dame. Take a tip from us—there are going to be a lot of surprised persons in Nebraska about Thanksgiving day. A Pittsburgh writer has come to the front with an assertion that Kene- saw Mountain Landis, federal judge at Chicago, is the man Barney Drey- fuss wants as chairman of the Na- tional commission, the job now occu- pied by Garry Herrmann, upon whom, Barney has declared war to the death. Base bell couldn’t get a better man than Judge Landis for the chairman- ship of its supreme court. The judge is a thirty-third degree fan, has fol- lowed base ball closely for many ears, and has had long years of egal and judicial experience. Perhaps Dreyfuss can prevail on Landis to serve organized base ball, but it seems to good to be true. The National Association of Minor Leagues convenes at New Orleans this week. It will be rdther a sorry looking meeting compared to that which was held in Omaha two years ago when the number of ledgues was almost fifty. Less than half this number will be represented at New Orleans. It is said Cal Ewing from the Pacific Coast and Al Tearney, the L L 1. league firebrand, will get to- gether to introduce a lot of reform législation in the association. We don’t know whether Cal and Al will be successful, but it's a cinch some reform is needed if the National as- sufiiation ever hopes to call another roll. President Baker of the Phillies an- nounces that at the National league meeting this winter he intends to start a crusade against the evil of selling players after August 1. Baker was a victim this year, when the Giants and Robins strengthened their linevps toward the end of the year and he saw very plainly the evil in such a system. aker is right. Strength- ening teams that are in the pennant fight savors too much of hippodrom- ing; it is unfair to the fans and the National league would do well to pass a rule prohibiting stich a practice. Another proof of the desirability of the shorter league season has been made manifest by the closing of the Pacific Coast league. Los Angeles barely won the pennant after a vi- cious fight with Vernon during the last month of the campaign, and yet there was little interest among the fans and when the schedule came to a close not a murmur was heard. There isn’t any getting away from it, the base ball public begins to tire of the game after Labor day no mat- ter how hot the race or interesting the games. It is said T. Raymond Cobb, the celebrated thespian, in encountering difficulties in the silent drama. T. Raymond, being a base ball hero, is supposed to manufacture a home run at the “crucial” moment, but, as luck would have it, Tyrus was only able to knock a dinky single to right field. But despair not, Ty, the movies aren’t itke base ball, they can fake home | runs in the film. Ban Johnson and Davy Fultz plan to clash in a merry joust this winter over the barnstorming fuss. John- son insists that the playérs who took part in the barnstorming tours must pay the fines assessed. Davy dis- putes the justice of the fines and is equally insistent that the players will not pay them. All Ban and Davy need is a referee and a timekeeper, A, ha, it is out at last. A Washing- ton report says that John McGraw had $15000 wagered that his Giants would finish one, two, three and that is why Little Napoleon became so outraged during that Brooklyn-New York series. No wonder Muggsy felt a little peeved. Minneapolis Buys Rose, Twirler From Seattle Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 11.—Bill Rose, a right-handed pitcher, has been purchased by the local American as- sociation club from the Scattle team of the Northwestern league. Rose was the leading twirler in the North- western league in 1916, He started out well in 1916, but ill luck followed SANDLOT RACES GET INTERESTING . Nonpareils Have Edge on Class A, but Other Divisions Are Muddled Up. MONMOUTH PARKS START By FRANK QUIGLEY. Attention of sandlot foot ball fans begins to center around the cham- pionship races which are beginning to \simmer down to a few teams in each class, The Nonpareils are the best wager in Class A circles. The controversy between the Class B squads, how- ever, is a trifle ticklish. Last Sunday two of the main contenders, the Ducky Holmes and Athletes, indulged in a knotted bout. Then the Dundee Woolen Mills have to be trimmed and they are a starchy proposition to iron without getting burned. At present the Class C honors are muddled and it will bea difficult matter to untangle them, This week the Nonpareils will have to work overtime in order to get into condition to push the recently organ- ized Monmouth Parks into the valley of defeat. According to the Mon- mouth Parks, they are going to per- petrate a great legalized crihe next Sunday when they take the city championship away from the Non- pareils. Local foot ball experts are rather dubious about the outcome and are not making any predictions. With one exception the teams are about evenly hooked up, the exception being that the Nonpareils will work to- gether like a well oiled machine, while the Monmouth Parks’ machinery will be a trifle squeaky at times. By trimming Havelock the Nonpar- eils will have clear sailing to cop the state independent foot ball champion- ship provided they slip the Monmouth Parks a defeat, because the much feared Wisner aggregation has aban- doned the field. For several years Wisner has compiled an enviable rec- ord and incidentally landed the state championship, and now that the time is riKe for this growing burg to nip the honors, the Wisnnr?ads quit. Just because a few stars that used to be the bulwark for Wisner are at present dowt on the border or some other place, !Vimer failed to gather their cornfeds. With Wisner an occupant of the cemetery, the competition for the state pennant is not quite as keen. Nonpareils Cross Waves, Those Nonpareils have decided to bury diffefences as to where they should play the C. B. Longeways and will tross the bridge to engage in a conflict at Athletic park with the Longeways today. Those Longeways are a beefy a Fregation and the pride of Council Bluffs, so it is a rock- bound cinch that the Omaha champs will have to resort to a few of their tricks in order to march back with the gravy. Game at 3 o'clock. Dinlap, Iowa, will entertain Monmouth Park bunch. For three consecutive years nary an Omaha gang that invaded Dunlap has béen able to whip the husky warriors sta- tioned there. They have a constella- tion of stars, similar to the former Wisner team, several of which have acquired fame on university elevens, Of course, the Monmouth Parks will be up against a difficult problem to solve, but they need the practice; and as they were undble to secure a game in Omaha for today, they had to leave town. The Athletics and Nonpareil Re- serves will hook up at Luxus park about 3 p. m. If tfle Nonpareil Re- serves cop this row they will have a bid coming for the class B honors. The odds are in favor of the Ath- letics because they out-beef the Re- serves and are probably in just as good condition and as well drilled. Holmes Play Mazdas, Two excellent brawls are on the program for Ducky Holmes’ out-door garden, the first of which will be be- tween the California Street Mer- chants and the Monmouth Park Re- gerves and the second squabble, Ducky Holmes against the Mazdas. In nl(probrhility oth games will be close affairs. An unusual arhount of interest has been manifested in the latter mentioned quarrel by the fol- lowers of each band. It has been whispered around that a few simo- leons will flip hands on thé jutcome. First game, 1:30; second, 3:30 p. m. Fontenelle park will be the scene of some battle at 3:30 p. m., when the Dundee Woolen Mills will tie up with the Fontenelle Reserves. Dur- ing the forepart of the season the Reserves were put out of the running by the Ducky Holmes, but since then under the tutorship of Frank Golden they have made a very formidable showing and the golden opportunity tendered them in the shape of the Dundee Woolen Mills will put them back with the rest of the heap that are fighting for the class B cham-| pionship. As customary the German Sham- rocks will play at Riverview park. Game called at 3:30 p. m. Their op- ponents for today will be the Mar- quette club, Both teams are claim- ing the groceries and as they are about evenly halanced it is a difficult matter to predict which side will lug them homeward. At Twenty-second and Webster streets the St. Johns and Webster Street Merchants will collide at about two and a half strikes this afternoon. These kids put up a stiff battle and the comical stuff pulled off, although erformed in earnest, would back a igh-priced comedian into the river. the Rube SOha?er Signs Up With Minneapolis Girl Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 11.—Rube Schauer, former pitcher of the New York Nationals, last season with the Louisville club of the American as- sociation, and who was drafted this fall by the Philadelphia Athletics, was married here recently to Miss Martha Chicken of this city. Schauer met Miss Chicken while he was playing with the Superior team of the North- ern league three years ago. The’ him all season. He lost a number of «ames by one run, will spend the winter at the pitcher's home in Garrettson, N. D, In the Sports Gym i &OTTA . BE IN MY BEST OLD-TIME STRENGTH Por First Time 8ince 1911 Bulldog Promises to Give Harvard Real Fight. CRIMSON IS SOME WEAKER New York, Nov. 11.—As the foot ball season grows older the outlook for one of those “old-time Yale-Har- vard games—real contest in which each side is very much in the fight down to the final whistle—becomes brighter. It is several years sinece the Elis have been able to make that annual game much of a contest, back in 1911 to be exact. In the four in- tervening games between these t rivals the Crimson won deoisive cach time. Hdrvard's victories were won by scores of 20-0, 15-5, 36-0 and 40-0. Indications point to better things for the spectator and for Yale this season, even though the game may not result in a victory for the Elis, . Two conditions, apparently passed, were responsible for these one-sided ames, Yale dropped below mediocre in foot ball after years of unparalleled success at the game, years of leader- ship in fact. As the New Haven univer- sity retrograded in the gridiroh sport Harvard came “f with a flock of the greatést foot ball players ever gath- cred in one fold. Bradlee, Watson, Coolidge, Franke, Wallace, Storer, Gilman and Parson were stars of a high order. Coached by the best that foot ball affords, it is no wonder that the Crimson was able to ride rough shod over the disorganized Yale teams, rendered weaker by a shifting coaching system. This season shows Yale npparenllr gaining its old place as a foot ball power and Harvard receding some- what from its super strength of re- cent years. Harvard’s present team is no weakling and Eddie Casey may ét prove himself as great as any of flis recent predecessors under the Crimson spotlight. But until the 1916 team at Cambridge shows miore stead- iness than it has shown to date it must suffer by comparison with the teams captained by Storer, Brickley and Mahan. Captain Dadmun has a strong team, strong enough perhaps to win both of his remaining big games, but it is likely to encounter more oppogition at New Haven on November 25 than any Harvard team has had from Yale since 1911, The Elis gave evidence of real scor- ing power against Washington and Jefferson, likewise a weak defense agains the forward pass. The Penn- sylvanians scored as many touch- downs this year as in their victories over Yale in the last two seasons, yet never had a chance to win. The differences was in the Yale attack, which appears to be assuming some real strength, certainly long overdue at New Haven. Jimmy Kane to Sue The Western Loop For Large Damages Jimmy Kane, former Rourke and Sioux City first baseman, will file a suit for $20,000 against the Western league, alleging conspiracy. Jimmy, who spent the summer in Omahay has retutned to his home at Scrauton, Pa., and announced in that city his intention of filing the damage suit against the Western league. Kane will allege conspiracy on the grounds that he was denied employ- ment as a ball player by a Western league ryling. Jimmy was released by Siowx City last spring and when he tried to sign with Wichita he dis- covered that the league had a rule under which a released player could not be signed by another club in the league for sixty days. I?’lel has been informed, he says, by his lawyers, including Dave Fultz, president of the players’ fraternity, that he has grounds for action in the United States courts under the law governing conspiracy. He will charge that he was denied employment all summer by the conspiracy. Branch Rickey is flanz to quit base ball and go into the law business. Branch must figure another Federal leagiie is going to crop out. ‘Britton, Lewis, Badoud, Ritchie ! moter to stage a welterweight tourn- Plays Most of the Dreams may not always come true, but they come true often enough to satisfy Sam Kinnier, Bellevue's six- foot-two center and candidate of the Bellevue college rooters for a posi- tion on the mythical all-state team. Kinnier had a vision Thursday night that he would be laid out in the third period of the game with Peru Friday afternoon and carried off the field by his team-mates. The vision just failed of coming true, for it was in the first period that Sam received a bump on his cranium which stretched him out on the turi. The Bellevue players were getting ready to) carry Sam off when he revived in time to hear the Peru rooters shout, Carry him off; carry him off; get a sub; get get a sub.” That aroused the Irish blood in Sam and he determined to finish the game. | He played the game of his life dur- ing the next three periods and proved ! s r——— CLASSY WELTERS APPEAR IN FIELD and Others Should Make Ex- citement in These Ranks, BRITTON I8 BTILL«T-H# BEST ) New York, Nov. 11.—A few short| months ago welterweights Zwere 50 , scarce the class was almost extinct. The only men in that divigion were a few overgrown lightweights who no longer were able to heat on their weight and were forcpd to lead a lonesome life with little gr no com- petition. Of late all that) has been changed and now there are/ more wel- ters than any other class of boxers. Some of the good men/in that di- vision are Jack Britton, who claims and is generally recognized as the champion; Ted Lewis, the most dan- gerous contender; Albert Badoud, who says he is the chan‘ipiun of Eu- rope; Willie Ritchie, the former lightweight title holder; Marty Cross, who'is just as dangerous a hitter as his brother Leach was/ among the lightweights and almosfl as interest- ing a performer; Johnn Griffiths, the western flash; Mike O'Dowd, another high class \vcstcmcr;iimmy Duffy of Lockeport, and a host of others of lesser note. | With all that talent available it behooves some enterprising pro- ament. Now that the heavyweights are so scarce and the” good light- weights have all fought and refought each other to distraction the welters should come into their own. While Britton seems to have a strangle hold on the title, he no longgr is as young as he was and it is by no ‘means sure that he can go through the whole field without a setback. " Willie Ritchie says he is willing to make another trip to New York provided he is offered one or two good bouts. Ritchie, however, has some strange ideas of what he is worth as an attraction, and they do not conform exactly to those of the promoters. The beating he received at the hands of Ted Lewis last win- ter has detracted somewhat from Ritchie’s drawing powers, but he fails to make any allowance for that. How- ever, he is an in\er:sling performer and always is welcome here. Ritchie onge won a decision over Britton when both were lightweights, and they would go well again. Marty Cross is anxious to tackle Ritchie, I this pair could put up anything like the battle between Leach Cross and Ritchie it would be worth any amount. Battling Ontega, the best middle- weight developed on the far coast By Whee_}an' Game in a Trance a tower of defense for the redskins. But he swears that he does not re- member a thing during the remainder of the game, not even that he re- covered a fumble by Haney of Peru on Bellevue's forty-yard line, which aided in bringing the ball down to the Normal eleven's three-yard line just fpractice. Now he's the leading can- before time was called ‘at the end of the first half. He was carried off the field at the end of the game, but on the shoulders of the purple and gold rooters, Whether or not Sam makes the all- state team remains to be seen, but his work this year has earned him a niche in the Elk Hill Hall of Fame beside Tom Moore, Bud Kearns, Freddie Paulson, Brewie Brown, Grant Ben: son, Dave Primrose, Guy Moose and the rest of the legendary wearers of the purple and gold in the dear, dead days beyond recall, when the Indians triumphed so regularly over Wes- leyan, Hastings and Doane, NATIONAL NEEDS NEW CLUB OWNERS Magnates of Old League Today Pay Too Much Attention to Gate Receipts, BROOKLYNS MAKE BREAK The National league could stand for | -a few more real sports in its member- ship and for a more pronounced and determined policy in dealing with base ball problems. The old-time magnates, who weathered many a sporting storm together, are. practi- cally gone. The Robinsons of Cleve- land and St. Louis, Jim Hart of Chi- cago, John T. Brush of the Giants and that old triumvirate up in Boston are no longer in the league. These men, while keen enough on the busi- ness end of the game, were also sportsmen of a high type who looked upon hase ball as a pastime as well as a business proposition. All of them lost money at tirhes, but th,e{ all stuck in the game through thick ! and thin for love of the sport. Today a far different crowd of mag- nates direct, or misdirect, the affairs of the league. The average dulb ovmer today, frightened by the unfair demands of the players, paling under the fulminations of Davy Fultz and fearful that his club will have to pass a dividend, bends all his energies to the money end of the game. The walk is of crowds mote frequently than it is of scores. Thé players reflect this money mad disposition, No more disgusting exhibition was ever made than that of the urool'yns when, after dubbing away the first game of the world’s series by ama-|f teurish playing, they thought not of the game but only of the gate re- ceipts, and even accused the national commission of holding out a few tickets from the official count. This act forever doomed the Robins to contempt among all true - sportsmen, and they will never be popular chap- pions This commercial spirit which ani- mates many of the magnates and most of the players of the National league must be cutbed and closely checked. Minnesota Hopes to Cop Big Nine Wrestling Mix Unusual interest is being manifested in wrestling at the University of Minnesota this year, and more than twenty men, including members of last year's squad, are out for the team. Coach Ohmstad expects the Gopher grapplers to prove strong con- tenders for the “Big Nine” cham- pionship, which will be decided at the State University of Iowa in March. since four-round bouts took the place of the twenty-round affairs, is com- ing to New York in search of fame and fortune. Many of the men who have been advertized as California wonders, only to prove rank failures here, were really never heard of in that section. Ontega, however, is in- dorsed by the leading critics of Cali- fornia, who predict that he will be a sensation mn the east, !

HARVARD'S NEW STAR New York, Nov, 11.—One feature of modern foot ball is the develop- ment of many star players, The new open game is patricularly suited for individual work and the coaches stay awake nights planning how to de- velop a star. Already this scason the number of players with ability above the average has set a new mark. Most of these “stars” are in the backfields, where their playing can be used to the best advantage against the oppo- sition, When the year's list of foot ball leaders is compiled Oliphant is sure to earn & high position. This great Army back, with his peculiar twisting and squirming, has been one of the sensations of the season. He is the biggest gun on the Army team and is the main hope against the Middies. Oliphant has been one of the best scorers in the east. In the Villanova game he crossed the visitors' goal line fivg times and kicked nine goals. At Cambridge Eddie Casey is al- ready hailed as a second Mahan, The latest Harvard star is 22 years old, stands five feet ten inches and weighs 156 pounds. Just as a tackler has his hands on Casey he seems to revolve around and works loose, Casey is dangerous from all running formations and is skillful throwing forward passes, but he cannot kick. Like Mahan and Brickle{ before him, Casey is now the pivot for Harvard's attack. Berry of Penn, Howard Berry of Pennsylvania does all a good quarterback is ex- pected to do and then considerably more. He is tremendously fast, runs his team in great style and picks up many points with his kicking foot. Last year Berry was not considered good enough for a varsity position and was invited not to come out for didate for all-American honors. Yale Has Le Gore. “Much is expected from Harry Le Gore. Two years ago the Yale back was one of the most feared runners on the gridiron. Then came his sus- ension for playing summer base ball. 'his scason Le Gore started where he left off and js proving to be one of the greatest httk" e_is véry dan- gerous in an bffen field, where his speed and donging ability generally sweep past waiting tacklers; Le Gore is also a fine punter, though at times he is inclined to be erratic. Princeton’s leading star is Eddie Driggs, a Brooklyn boy, who does il the punting, a big slice of the runnin, and is the strongest defensive bac the Tigers posgess. Old Nassau would be in a bad way without the services of Driggs. Sailor Ingram. The Middies think they have a match for Oliphant in Ingram, who is a slashing runner, either through the line or around the ends. Ingram has been responsible for the best Navy gains this season, Pittsburg's wonderful showing has been partly due to Fullback McLaren, who 1s ulil{i the best line breaker in the east, cLaren is of the Coy type, strong, aggressive and tireless, McLaren r-vc lris greatést demon- stration of line wrecking when he compelled the giant Syracuse for- vards to give ground, Time and again the Pittsburg star shot into the ?owcrful Syracuse line and never ailed to score a substantial gain, Captain Gerrish of Dartmouth is another back who stands out above the average. He played a marvelous game against the Tigers recently, Star backs on the so-called smaller teams could be counted” by the dozen, unusual players like Wescott of Tufts, Deetjem of Wesleyan, Scarr ff Rb\gtgcrs and Howard Miller of Co- umbia, Some Records Made m 1916 A compller of the dope has counted thems ovents as among the noteworthy things of the base ball season that hav just come to ita close: Four no-hit, no-run games in the big leagues—ihree In the American and one in the Natlonal.

In the twenty-nine games he poled & total of forty-five satdtigs. The New York Glants won twenty-six consecutive games, and. In doing so, shat- tered the long-standing major leugue record of twenty stralght made by Providence In 1884, In losing twenty stralght games the Ath- eticn tled”the Amettean league reford for | consecutive defeats.

Entries closed Fri- day night and while all had not been received yesterday it is known that 200 teams will participate. This sea- son’s list of entries includes teams from cities not previousy identified with the association, Milwaukee, with three; Indianapolis, with two; Cincin- nati, with one; Detroit, with four; Tulsa, Memphis, Hot springs, Kan- kakee, Kenosha and Oklahoma City with one cach are newcomers in the organization, Peoria, with thirty-one teams; Chicago, eighteen; 'Knnuu City, nine, and Des Moines, nine, are the cities sending thé~argest delega- tions, all except Chicago having as their main object the landing of next season's toutnament, Smaller entries have been received form old standbys such as St. Joseph, Sioux City, Wich~ ita, Pueblo, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Marshalltown, Mason City, Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, Fremont, Lincoln and Omaha, All of these have en- tered froni one to four teams each. All these entries, together with a St. Louis entry of 100 teams, make the total up around the 200 mark, way out ahead of Omaha's record mark of 126 teams last year, Many Stars. These teams ‘have in their lineup the classiest bunch of stars ever ap- pearing on a middle west runway and a select brand of bowling will be displayed before the public. Aside from the regular tournament bowling, several large money matches will be staged, chief amopg these _being be- tween Jimmy Blouin of Chicago and the bowler accepting his challenge for a $500 match during the progress of the tournament. The Fremont, Neb,, team will play the Jack Daniels team of St. Louis and the Free Press team of Milwaukee will roll a special match with the Detroit Journals, and the l.lu- binis of Chicago will play the C!px_t?l Alley Five, champions of Indianapolis and Indiana, Other big matches at- tracting widespread attention will be rolled. 4 Extensive preparations have been made by the gt. ouis officials for an claboraté entérrammentaf the visiting tenpin men. ~ Omaha's entry to Mound City is disappointing considering the number of entries in past seasons. Only three teams responded to the call and two of these are pickup teams, organized . among those who became conscience stricken when they noted the small entry from here. The Brandeis Stores team is the only regular league squad to enter and two picked teams called the Omaha Alleys and Farnam Alleys will go. The f;xht eni? is mainly due to election results. Most of Oma- a's tournament teams represent the large breweries and the managements of these did not feel disposed to enter their lineups. On the Brandeis team will be F. G. Fanton, captain; E. Terrel, G. Toman, H. McCoy, F. Kieny and J. Martin, $ Omaha Alleys: “Dad” Huntington, captain; K. Sciple, W. Haarmann, C. Cochran, J. Jarosh. Farnam Alleys: W, L, Schoenman, captain; C. Weekes, H. Fritscher, J. Fitzgerald, F, Karr, J. Jarosh and Tracy. Strong Bowlers. While this representation is not as strong as former ones, the lineups contain several of Omaha's strongest pin topplers and they are sure of making a good showing. One local item of interest is the definite announcement of M. R. (Dad) Huntington that the new Omaha al- leys would be opened on Saturday, November 18." The alleys are already laid and the work of interior finish- ing is nearing completion, an opener Dad expects to stage a big sweepstakes _tournament. All star teams from Des Moines, Lincoln and Fremont will enter this and seven lo- cal quintets will enter. The entry fee will be $25 a team, the money to be split three ways. Grolf Tournament Lurin_g E.inksmen Lakewood, N. J., Nov. 11.—With anything like normal weather the chances are that the Country club of Lakewood will be favored with quite a field of golfers for its annual au- tumn tournament scheduled for No- ! vember 30, December 1 and 2. Al- though Thanksgiving is usually as- sociated with turkey and a day at home, the club at Lakewoods long since broke down precedent by start- ing its tournament on the holiday in question. There were times when the club moved the date forward because of bad weather encountered toward the latter stages of the month, but in the opinion of some of the regulars the event never seems the same held at any other time. Already a good field is assured. Max Marston (the Baltursol amateur who has won six chief cups this sea- son, said that he intended to play, and so did J. H. Worthington, the English golfer who won at Atlantic City and H. A. Steiner of Inwood, runner up in the same meeting.
