Omaha Golf “Shark'" Plays Chick Evans on Indoor Course P _____ SAM REYNOLDS doesn't care much for Rolf when the Brass isn't green. Rut the Omaha craeR couldn't resist an Inv italinn to shoot a round of indoor Rolf with the fam ous Chick Evans and Bob McDonald the other day when lie was in Chicago on a business trip. The indoor course is an 18 hole affair built by McDonald and it is really an Inter- j eating indoor course, according1 to Reynolds. >lc-' Donald lias in- j g e ii I o u s I y con-' struded bunkers, \ sand traps and wa- i ter hazards to dis tinguish it from the ordinary in door course. A niblick is used to on a successful pitch over the bunkers, the ball pitch dropping into aoft carpet ing. "Evans just hap pened to drop in that day to look over the course, Sam Rey nolds, and so did I,” said Reynolds. "McDonald iron. He built the coarse.” The Com© Badk=Adh© Ward - - By Ed Hughes ICc*aC A* C«C* AO<t WAJ»U Sl«CAM > Tut C©f*C fW_KL GfcTS OJc*f AS Fa*v as HvS Baca* i u«atxc«.Asm><U i OWTT. v 4 /y-f ~ "*•-■ - ■ - JESS WILLARD, a 163-pound gentleman on the threshold of middle age. is with us printing himself for a tistic "comeback.” This “comeback” caper of lighting men long past their prime almost unfail ingly culminates with a violent at tack of “comebackachc.” The "come back-ache” ts a malignant malady lor.g associated with the ring. Like most of our worldly Ills, it could easily bo avoided with a little precaution. But somehow or other the tin earsmitlis, whose pugilistic systems, along with their prestige, have become run down, persist in courting the ache. They mean to come back, but) usually get only as far as the back. They are reposing on that member when the crowd is putting on its coats and looking "for the exit near est you.” The comeback and the "eomebackache" are as close to each other as one minute to the next one. Yes. closer. The recipe for avoiding the "come backache” is a simple and highly ef fective one—keep out of "comeback" draughts, and avoid the muddy street crossing to tlie QueensVerry corner. Old lYoc Time has handed the prescription to the best of them for rundown punching systems. Very few ever had It filled, though. Take a stroll through the “come backache" ward of the Leather rush ers’ hospital. In tlie wheelchairs, from left to right: Jim Corbett, who tried to “comeback" against Jeffries; Bob Fitzsimmons, who tried it against the same chap; Jim Jeffris, who con tracted his “comebackache" at Reno against Jack Johnson: Tommy Burns, who got his against Joe Beckett. There are a bunch of others with distorted faces and second-hand hacks, too. Charlie Welsert, who met Gene Tunney only a short time ago, is on hand. So is Jimmy Britt, who tried to “comeback" after being I lightweight, champion and permitted Johnny Summers, the Englishman, to knock him out. Young Corbett is a chronic ‘‘comebaekache.” Jack Dillon, once of the hale and hearty, Is in the cricky picture. So is Willie Ritchie. Johnny Coulon, Sam Langford and Eddie McGoorty. But no more. This was supposed to be a stroll, not a census. Jess Willard is reported healthy, though fat. Why Inherit a ‘‘come backache" and a wheelchair, Jess? You'll be a heavy charge' on the State (some State). It may be,worth it to you, but not to us—either at $50 or $15 a seat. Bemis Leads in Iowa Pin Meet —/ Pes Moines. Jan. 25.—J. E. Bemis of Pes Moines shot into the lead in the singles event of the state bowling tournament here last night with a score of 615. Two other local bowlers also went ahead of J. Sweeney of Sioux City, who had been leading since the tournament started.

Eile to Arrive in Omaha Today • Jack Eile, the Chicago feather weight, who will swap punches with Frankie Garcia of Memphis, Tcnn., in the semi-windup of the Spanish War Veterans' boxing show at the Audi torium next Friday, was slated to [arrive from the v.indy city this morn ing. Eile will work out at the Busi l ness Men's gymnasium at 2:30 o’clock each afternoon until the day of the ( bout. Morrle Schlaifer, who meets Billy Wells, English champion, in the main event, is training at the sam<\ gym nasium, but works at 2 o’clock each afternoon. Wells, in the opinion of many box ing critics, is a second Mike Gibbons, because of his shiftiness and judg ment of distance. Occording to those who have seen the Englishman in action, he weaves in and out and ducks punches by the narrowest of margins, confusing his opponents with his dazzling speed and boxing skill. “Turk” Kogan, the Creighton star athlete, may he Erwin Bige's op ponent in the six round bout on Fri day’s program, according to the pro moters. Kogan has decided to re sume his professional boxing, which caused his suspension from amateur athletics at the university.
