PUPILS EX CELL MASTER
From Monday's Daily
Yesterday morning being a real
spring morning with the balmy
breezes as well as bright sunshine
prevailing it was one of the days
when the tired golfer did not lie
long in bed but was early on the
road to the golf course armed with
his club and fond 'anticipations of
the success that he was to secure.
The fine day and the general feel
ing of joy and contentment tha
was prevailing led C. A. Rosenerans
the well known golfer, as well as
hair bobber and shaver, joined the
early pilgrims to the Plattsmouth
golf club grounds to try his luck
on the course. Filled with the gen
eral spirit of the spring time date
decided to show up the real "stuff"
of the game to his pupils and on
the way to the grounds gave words
of advice to the two players that
would enable them to do well in the
game that is becoming so rapidly
one of the favorite sports of the
country.
The pupils heeded the advice very
well and as the result of the coach
ing that they received they made
the course in 42, while not a
wonderful record was more than
gratifying in the fact that they
were not skilled golfers, while Clatei
drove just forty-three in
getting
arouna. snowing that the skill of
the teacher is reflected in the bril -

formal evening dress of the gentle
men guests made the scene one of
the greatest attractiveness to the
eye.

the rarest charm and beauty. The

archway of green ferns and pink
roses, large baskets of pink snap
dragons standing at the door of the

with the green ferns. At the center

home was a bank of flowers, these
being used lavishly in all of the
rooms and made a scene of the great
est beauty. There were 150 guests
present at the reception at the home.
The decorative plan was carrried out
in ferns, smilax, flowers and the
white candles.

parents to the bride being a large
and unusually handsome floor lamp

bers of the local people but groups
of young people from all of the
nearby cities. The Gradoville or
chestra of eight pieces furnished the
music and it was as fine as that of
any orchestra in the state. One of
the special features of the- evening
was the new 400 Sousaphone of
Mr. Gradovillt? that added to the
beauty of the musical numbers fur
nished for the dance. The Ward Sis
ters of Omaha were featured in
songs and dances while the Barn
yard Twins. (Walt and Ray) gave
several of their enjoyable numbers
and special skits that added inter
est for both the dancers and the
spectators. The Twins are artists

the program. Walter Stohlman and

they are real enteitainers. The man

and was very much pleased with
the work of the orchestra and will
endeavor to secure them for several
of the dances at the beach the com
ing season.

told the plaintiff that she could do
that or go elsewhere. There is one
child whose custody the plaintiff
asks with other equitable relief.

Rev. Frank E.
Pfoutz is Given
a New Honor
Popular Plattsmouth Pastor Named
Dean of Omaha District Ep
worth League Institute.
H:v. Frank Emory Pfoutz, pastor
of the First Metlnflist church of
this city and one of the best known
Methodist ministers in the state.
j has been called upon by the church
leaders to accept a new charge for
the coming year. This is the posi
tion of dean of the Omaha district
Epworth League institute that is
being held in July at Camp Sheldon,
near Columbus.
The deanship is quite an extensive
responsibility as the dean has the
supervision of the camp where an
nually large numbers of the young
people, members of the Epworth
League gather to study and improve
their touch with tne teachings of
the League and is one on which the
man selected for the position must
be eminently qualified not only in
religious training but in the under
standing and appreciation of the
young people of the church in their
work. The Omaha district Epworth
League is very fortunate that Rev.
Pfoutz has been selected as their
dean this year as he brings to,the
position all of the qualifications
that are needed In a leader of force
and ability.
This position was formerly held
by Rev. Arthur Atack of the Hans
come Park church of Omaha, and
one of the leaders in the clergy of
that city, who was called to a charge
in the east and on his departure the
sentiment for securing Rev. Pfoutz
was very strong among both the
church leaders and laymen and es
pecially those who were familiar
with the great work that the genial
Plattsmouth pastor has carried on
with the young people's societies of
the church.
Re. Tfoutz was reluctant at first
on accepting the change that will
be added to his church work here
but was prevailed upon to accept
the position and will be in readi
ness to assume the work of the dean
ship of the July meeting of the in
stitute. Those who are familiar with the
work of Rev. Pfoutz among the Ep
worth League membership are de
lighted to learn that he is to ac
cept the position and his services guests of honor, Mr
it is certain will add greatly to the,G. Bach, Sr.
interest of the forthcoming institute.

Large Number of the Players Out
Yesterday for the First Try

(
j From Mondays Daily
! While the major
and minor
league
baseball teams have bfen
.thawing out and getting the batting
(eye trained and the old soup hon.s
limbered up down in the southland.
I the players and fans in this sec
J tion have been hugging the stovo
up until yesterday when the first
signs of the forthcoming basoLall
i season were given.
! The first spring practice of the
. season was tried on the local dia
mond and while it was largely in
j the experimental stage, the number
that showed up for practice was uu
usually large and the greatest in
terest taken by the players as well
as the group of fans in attendance
was very pleasing.
The players will be given a most
thorough working out under the
eye of Manager Brantner and who
will in the next few weeks decide
definitely on the players that will
start out the season for the Platts-
i mouth team.
The sentiment for entering a
Cass-Sarpy county league is quite
strong and if the balance of three
u'ams from Cabs county can be se
cured it will make a strong organiza
tion and show the fans some real
fast ball. The players will probably
be limited to the residents of the
two counties and give a chance for
the players in the various communi
ties to show their stuff. Louisville,
which was figured as one of the
towns in the league is reported
here as not planning a team t hid
season, but the players there being
engaged with other nearby towns,
but whether this was final or not
has not been learned. In the event
that Louisville did not have a team
it would be necessary to try and
secure another team in this section
to replace it in a league lineup.
