Muny Golfers Meet at City Hall and Organize Municipal Golf Association * x - -~ ■ a • BBB® • BHRK • BBB® ® Resolution Against Proposed $10 Annual Fee for Players Adopted Dr. W. H. Weeks, Chosen Temporary President of New Body, Will Appear Before City Council Today When Golf Ordinance Comes Before “City Dads.” - at--—:-<-■ An Omaha municipal golf associa tion was organized Sunday morning al a meeting of 50 "muny" golfers at the city hall. The organization is an outgrowth of a meeting called to decide upon a muny goir fee which would be approved by the majority of public links play ers. Following t Ire organization of the association, a resolution w a s adopted declaring the $10 annual fee proposed by Commissioner Joe Hummel as too liigli. The resolution suggested a $-."0 annual fee, or :>(K efcnts her day. School children are to he exempt from charges, except on Saturday afternoon, Sunday and holi days. Elected President. Dr. W. II. Weaics. who was elected temporary president of the new body, was delegated to represent the asso i iation this morning at a meeting of the city council as a Whole, when the proposed ordinance will come before i he commission for action. The ultimate goal of the association is a semi-private golf club. It was formed on the theory that there are two classes of golfers, the "duffer,” * who plays for the recreation and bene fits of the pante at irregular intervals and who does not endeavor to excel at the game, and the golfer who takes t lie sport seriously and consequently is willing to spend money to have the best playing conditions. The association hopes to ultimately establish a course of its own. Taking over the Country club or Field club courses was discussed. Large Membership. QWith 1.000 golfers in the associa lion, paying $?J a year annual dues, it was said that either course could be maintained in excellent condition. The Country club is looking for a site on which to build a new course, due to the exorbitant city tax levy on its limited membership. With a large membership, the as sociation would not be bit so heavily by the city tax levy, it was pointed out. This scheme would result in the present "muny" links being aban doned by the expert "muny" golfers to "duffers" and beginners, many of whom would eventually graduate Into the ranks of the better players. Clubs similar to the ore in mind here are operated successfully in larger cities. It was said. Social fea tures would be discontinued in the event one of the private clubs are taken over. Klerl Directors. The following representatives of "muny" golf clubs wore elected di rectors of the new association: Miller Parle—C. N. McMasttys. .T. I'. Comstock. Charles Thlessen, Rob ert llualt, Al Schantz and L. W. Young. Kontenelle—C. R. Morres. Peter An$ Person, J. R. Daugherty and Seavey Hudson. Elmwood—Ben Yousem. Cl. E. Kck els, C. K. Lambert. A. C.

Blues Capture Second Tilt by 37 to 28 Score Golf of South Dakota Records Eight Baskets While Lovely Makes Si.\—Erratic Shoot ing hy Both Teams. On die heels of Friday's brilliant performance, Creighton university abbreviated costume performers suf fered a reversal of form last night and were extended to win from Sunlit Dakota university. The score was 37 to 23, giving tlie Blue eagesters a clean sweep of tlie two-game series. Erratic shooting, knotty teamwork and individual playing combined to mart- the contest, which was devoid of any spectacular features. Cod', the Coyotes' elongated light forward, bid for the headliner stuff, making eight baskets. Spelcher, who worked opposite him, was unable to follow his shifty floor work. t LovelyjNImnls Nix. Lovely, light Kirward, succeeded in eluding his man and rang up sis baskets, although lie missed many easy shots. Tyuutraan and Mahoney augmented Creighton's score with five baskets apiece. The first half ended 17 to 8 in the Hilltoppers' favor, tlie Blues caging the leather eight times from the Held against tlie Coyotes’ four. During intermission Coach Eckberg uked some harsh words to stimulate bis lagging crew, and tlie Dakotans came out in the second half and shoved over nine Held goals, more than twice as many as they registered in the first period. Paynter on ISeneli. Paynter. regular guard, was under ctfver in the initial frame while Lane held down his post. Mahoney's five baskets were over tile "13." Bertha" route.

Jameson, for the past two seasons state bowling champion, fell from her throne at the Omaha Alleys last night in a five-game match. Mrs. H. W. Huff, champ in 1916, tumbled Mrs. T. R. Jameson.

The evolution of the major league ( spring training trip furnishes as in-' teresting a study as its oscillation ' from one section of the south to an-\ other. Ten years ago the vernal jaunt in search of warm weather and I physical condition wag a solo affair for the majority of the teams. Now is has become a duet for most of them. .Club owners and managers have found it more profitable in dollars and in anatomical results to join forces yhile in the south and travel in pairs during the latter half of the training trip, instead of playing a lone hand in the effort to make the annual tuning up season pay for at least a part of its cost. There will be more interleague games played 1/y major league teams this spring than ever before, if all the plans announced are consummated. Not all of them will he paired off for practically the entire trip, like the Giants and White ‘Sox, as that plan has not proved workable for all the 16 teams, hut there Is hardly a club in either league which has not book ed at least a few games with one or more teams from the rival major which are conditioning in the same section of the south. Improves on Old System. So far as physical results are con cerncd this is mi improvement on the old system of playing exhibition games with such aggregations as could bo found in tlie territory cover ed by’ tile spring trip. From such games the players obtained little more benefit than from routine limbering i up stunts in their own camps or 1 games between two sounds of the same team. The only difference was tlie change of scenery and the avoid ance of too great monotony. Many leading managers are of the opinion that ball players cannot work themselves into good form in the spring except in contests that bring out actual, sharp competition. There is none of that in games with class C 1 or I) league teams, no matter if the scores are (lose, and some managers have advocated playing a minimum of ■ games with minor league teams, de voting most 06 the spring trip to get ling the men in good physical condi ! tion and leaving 1 lie rest of their tuning up to the regular champion ship season, when one week of games is wortli more than a month of going through tiie motions of playing minor league or independent outfits. J3y hooking up on the spring trips with major league teams from the opposite circuit the players of both are able to get the next best thing to a cham I pionship game in the way of keying i them up to concert pitch. Financially it is a great improve ment on the ottl solo method. Fans in life south grew very tired of the monotony of watching games between : their local team and touring majors year after year. There was no interest Iri the result of the clash, as the home athletes stood small chance of win r ring unless the majors‘used a lot of I recruits. In the latter case the fans • The Turf YESTERDAY’S RESULTS , HAVANA. First Hare—Six furlongs: George XT.

With two major league teams traveling together and| staging com bats in different citScs, the home folks are given a change of diet and a chance to see the regular teams in action, as a rul<^ They do not see the players extend themselves quite as far as if they were fighting for a pennant or for n first division berth, hut there is a lot more pep in a com bat. even with nothing at stake, be tween two major league outfits than between big and little league teams. Some of the benefits to the players are offset by the constant traveling, which necessitates a lqt of nights in Pullmans, hut the advantages out weigh the handicaps, judging by the way the various managers are flock ing to the idea of staging dual spring training trips. Starting tlie championship races a week later than In recent years will r ve the players a better chance to re tain their condition after ■acquiring it this spring, because weather conditions in the northern cities frequently have been such as to set the athletes hack quite a hit.

I THE Omaha bowl ers will be treated to a rare dish of pin-tumbling next month if the plans of Jim London ot the Omaha alleys materialize. it is the plan o£ "J 1 m m y" to bring "Jimmy" lliouin, world's champion bowler, to Omaha late lit February or early in March. The king of all maple smashers is going to lour the western states and it is the hope of the Omaha alley officials to bring Blouin to Omaha for two exhibition games. Blouin, it will be remembered, re cently defeated "Jimmy” Smith, Mil waukee, in a championship series. Right on top of the announcement that Blouin may appear in Omaha came the announcement that the Omaha alley management was trying to get the Lincoln Lifes of Fort Wayne, Jnd.. the world's champion five-man howling team, to roll an ex hibition match against a picked team of Omaha bowlers here on Tuesday evening, February 7. The Lincoln Lifes is the team that won the national championship last winter at the American Bowling con gress tourney at Toledo, with a score of 2.998. It also holds the record for match play, with a total of 3,103, made at Peoria in 1920. The world's champion five-man team is making a tour of the middle west and will roll exhibition matches against any team. Next Month Busy One for Omaha Bowlers.
