March 23.—In se lecting .lim McNamara, promis ing recruit southpaw, to start for the Senators in their battle at Tampa today with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Manager Harris hoped to settle a problem that has been weigh ing somewhat heavily on his mind. McNamara has shown enough already to make a welcome find under ordi nary conditions, but Manager Harris believes his pitching staff has been so strengthened as to make it a question whether the club should pay the pric** a«ked for the Wichita southpaw. The option on him already has cost a I layer and $5,000, and If he is re tained, the club must separate itself from two more players and $15,000 Additional. Harris was going to measure him finally today against that price. The principal bolstering the Sena tors have accomplished in their pitch ing staff looks right now t«. he in the Requisition of Rtiether. The former Dodger, who came to Washington by the waiver route, already lias shown his form by not allowing a hit or a run in either of the three innings he be* worked against the Giants and Cincinnati IP d. By HERBERT REED. By I nlvrnul Vnfrr. New yore, .March 23.—'Top” Bueder, who has taken over the engineering of Cornell's rowing this year, is a product of the old re gime pod has been down the Hudson in a Cornell shell faster than 99 oite liundredtlis of the oarsmen in Ith aca's rowing history. So if prestige ■ mounts to any tiling, Cornell lias t lie right coaching equipment. Bueder was also a great football player In bis day, away back in the time when Warner and Cool and Hugh Troy and Starbuck the first ind “Clint” Wyckoff and Fitch and sthers of the all-hut-forgotten, were doing so much for Cornell. "Tommy” Fennell was something of the sunn type, and there were Beacham and Taussig, the original No. 5-A, tackle ends, to lend color to the days on Percy field and the inlet. CORNEI.E has hud Its ups and downs since l.lierier's time, hut he comes into control of Cornell rowing with fewer lapses in method than have been the ease in many other institutions. Boeder is not, in the strict sense, one of tile “young er” roaches. Something of rowing trailition clings to him, which makes it possible, perhaps, that lie will fit in well in ,-in institution in which tra dition on the water lias meant so much. ODIIU enough, one of the great est stroke oars Cornell exer had has achieved less eminence than many of his successors. It was Rob bins who paced the right, to Hie 18 minute 53 1-5 seconds record oxer the Poughkeepsie-Highland course years ago. Tliis was a comparatively light crew, averaging in the nriglilmrhood of 165 pounds. It was made up. Iiow rter, of exceptionally |Kiwerfiil men. As Fred .Miller of Columbia was saying the other day: "Hive me the light man who can pull his own weight, ;Mhl you can put as much heft In your shell as you like.” (Copyright, M:M Mabel 11 oiisnian First in “Blind Pig” Meet Alisa Ain be! llousman won first place In the women’s division of the "Blind Pig” bowling tournament held at the Iter real Ion nlleys Sunday.

The large majority of the fans who taw tin- fight! know that Britton was en titled to at least a draw. Those who did s**e the bout and think Sehlaifer was entitled to the decision aie not a bit ba>hful in say ing so. This morning* mail brought to the desk of this writer three let ter** on the fight. One of the letters put the writer on the "pan" for the way in whieli he wrote up the fight. \nother letter-writer who signed his name M Harrison, Omaha. g:i\e the writer rrrdit. The third letter didn't like the referee, who was Mr. Paul Urdy. The person or persons who took occasion to put the writer on the "pan" signed their letter. " \ Fight Fan.** That signature covers a lot of territory. Mr "light Fan" says we didn't JH*e 's* lilaifer enough credit and all that, and that the referee was right in gixing Mnrrie the decision. The writer disagrees with Mr. "Fight Fan." We believe the referee errorcil in giving the decision to Hchlaifci. The w i iter wrote the story j»f the Hritton N lilaifer fight as he s \\V it and not according to Oie decision handed down by I he referee. \s far as the referee is concerned* the whole blame here can la* bounced on the shoulders of the boxing com missioner. It Is the rotntjiiftsioiier't* duty* to select the referee. The pro moters of the show have nothing to sa y. This iJca of withholding the name of the referee until time for the l*»ut to start is the wr*ng way of conduct Ing the boxing game in Nebraska, in the writers opinion. The fans who pay good money to see the fights nre entitled to know who Is going to referee. They are entitled to know before the day of the show. The box ing commissioner is making n serious mistake by withholding the name of the referee. Why not let the fans know who will referee the main bouts? After all. tt is th lx xlng fan who pays to arc the fights. He pay* his money in at the ticket office. The money derived from the shows helps pnv the commissioner. Therefore, the Ians are entitled to know who will icfere#. % The writer is glad to get letters nn subjects he writes about. NOW that the golf season Is around the comer, knights of the midiron and tunable are getting into trim for n Mg attack on I‘nlone! Bogey and the remainder of I he latter's army that hides on a golf course. Spnda> was the first real goo A golf day of I9?a. Hundreds of Omaha us took advantage of the weal her and "shot" a few rounds. ; The iniiniri|ial course*, of course, j got fheir share of trade and many j "kicks" that were registered by the ! "muny" players because of the cost of playing over the Miller park links compared to the cost of play ing around him wood's 18 lode course. According to the new city ordi- | nance regulating the playing of i golf upon municipally-o w n e d courses, golfers are required to pay j J.i cents for eaih round of 18 holes and 15 cents for each round of nine holes. Now, Omaha has one 18-hole i course—Kim wood. Itoth Fontenelle and Miller park courses are nine ; holes, hontenelle and Miller park golfers can't understand why they are forced to pay 3# cents for 18 holes, or two rounds, when Klmwood golfers, just because they are play ing on an 18 hole course, pay hut 53 rents. The money derived from Omaha's •hree muni, ipal golf courses Is turned over to the ity treas-]rer and kept ir, a .-eparaig fund known a.« the "muni ripnl golf fund." The fund will he used In the regulation of golf and for ihr maintenance and upkeep of the I present existing golf grounds or future goif grounds. Another interesting Item in the golf ordinance is that the money derived from the "muny" courses will be • I K\t 1.1 MVKl.\ for Hie p!\ nient of s.ilari-s for office help, care takers, starters and lalsu-ers and for stationery, such «s hooks and but tons. Tractors, lawn mowers, seed, sprinkling devices, hose, golf signals and markers, water pipe, drinking fountains, sand oil and fertiliser or any other commodity which might pertnin to the upkeep of municipal golf com sc* will be purchased with money from the "municipal golf fund.” Within a year or two Omaha j * hi mid have three of kite best municipal golf courses In the roun- j try.
