JOHN f GMW tLSO IS COINS
_ J
Damon Runyan, Grantland Rice, !
Themas Cummiskey, Da' is Walsh,
Sid Mercer.
These names will be of interest
particularly to the gentlemen, but
they have their admirers among the
1 dies, too. They’re a few of the fa
mous sport writers who are. going to
become regular reporters for readers
of The Omaha Bee.
In making plans for a number of
constructive improvements in the
service offered to readers of .The
< malm Bee special emphasis was
placed upon sports. Every day in
every way sport is becoming a more
bsorbing topic in the American
household. Dad is a prize fight fan:;
mother is playing golf, son is an en
'itusiastic follower of the baseball
hope and daughter haa to keep in
touch with the football aituation. And
so the sport pages become more and
more a vital integral of tin modern
newspaper.
Star Writers Obtained.
It Is pretty generally acknowledged
that the sport pages of The Omaha
Ree are the best published In this
territory. But this dkl not entirely
satisfy The Omaha Bee. It decided
to make them even better. That s
why arrangements were consum
mated to have the five men named
nbove contribute regularly to the
columns of this paper.
Damon Runyan and Grantland
Ikce are two of the foremoet eport
miters in New York City—perhaps it
would be safe to tay they are THE
foremost aport writers of the world's
largest city.
Runyan's specialties are baseball
• rid boxing, although h« writes ex
pertly and fluently upon every sub
xt of sport. Rice is equally ver
'.ie, but baseball and golf are his
favorites, particularly golf, and his
■Tale* of a Wayside Tee” are classics
of the sport page.
Humorist and Poet.
In addition Runyan has the reputa
1 on of being quite a humorist whilo
Ijxe haa earned a name for himself1
as a poet.
cummiskey, Walsh and Mercer
write upon any and all topics of sport
with the expertness that only years
of experience makes possible.
But these are only a few of the
men who will furnish sport news fou
, orders of The Omaha Bee. Through
the Internatltyral News Service, the
Universal Service and The Associated
Ihess. leaders of this paper will ne
furnished with complete information
mi all sport events no matter wher*
they may be held.
McGraw .Joins Stair.
Another announcement which whl
interest baseball fans particularly is
that John McGraw, the famous man
ager of the world champion New
York Giants, is to become a con
ttibutor to this paper. As soon «s
lie gets his team lined up for the play
ing season McGraw will write one
story a week regarding the race
in the National league, how the
Giants and the other team* in the
i-ague are playing and what reactio-j
'he events of the past week may hate
on the varfoue clubs and player#. Me
Graw"# story will appear In The Sun
day Bee each wreek.
t.oeally, The Omaha Bee will con
linue to lead Its field. It has a staff
"t trained reporters and writers who
will keep its readers completely In
formed on every local happening and
will, aa In the past, feature events
that take place in Omaha tnd th«
adjacent territory.
Remember this, you readers of the
sport pagee, if you want ALL. the

Omaha Bee end if you went the in

any particular event no matter when
or where It happens you will have to

Famous Editorial Writer to
Send Column by Telegraph
for Publication Same Day
It Is Written. ,,
WRITES SO ILl¥t UNDERSTAND
Do you read editorials? No matter;
you II read Arthur Brisbane * any
way.
It has been said of Arthur Bris
bane that he is the greatest editorial
writer in the world. Perhaps this >s
true, perhaps it isn't. But this much
Is established beyond argument—he
does write editorials that interest
everybody.
You may not agree with Arthur
Rrisbane or his writings; you may
disapprove of his policies, his theories
the conclusions he draws, but you
will have to admit that lie writes en
tertainingly. that he writes on topics
that are pertinent and important and
—that he says something. ^
For that reason The Omaha Bee at
taches great importance to the an
nouncement that Arthur Brisbane's
column of editorial comment, which
he calls ' Today,'' is to become a reg
ular feature of this newspaper.
Food for Thought.
lake many of Its readers The Oma
ha Bee no doubt will not always
agree with the positions Mr. Brisbane
may take, it may disagree violently
with him and in another column say
so In no uncertain terms; but it does
believe Mr. Brisbane's column will be
followed with interest and that his
utterances will provide much food for
thought.
Arthur Brisbane is on* of a very
few editorial writers whose work is
considered Important enough to print
on the first page. Scores of newspc
pers print his ‘ Today” column in the
first column of the first page every
day.
Not only that, but Mr. Brisbane’s
column is so timely, so freighted with
information that it is sent out from
his office in New York by telegraph.
No other editorial writer in the coun
try receives this consideration.
Rushed by Telegraph.
Mr. Brisbane's column yrill be print
ed in The Omaha Bee the same day
that it is written. As soon ss he com
pletes it Mr. Brisbane sends his copy
to the telegraph office in New York
and it is immediately dispatched to
Omaha as a straight nies«nge. A few
hours later the reader has it before
him.
One of the beauties of Mr. Br.s
bane's column is that it is written for
everybody. You do not have to be a
scholar to understand and appie. iate
it. llie wonderful command Of the
English language permits him to write
in a simple, easy, flowing style, snd
his brilliant mird enables him to take
the most Involved topic possible and
reduce it to terms of the average man
or woman.
Read Brisbane * time or two. You
will find yourself impatient for the
next day a issue.

WILL BRING OVER 200,000
' WORDS TO OMAHA EACH DAY
Readers of The Omaha Bee VL ill Be Served ^ ith Complete
Service of International News Service. I nivcrsal Serv
ice. the New York Tribune ami Manv
Other Great Writers and Artiste.
It has always been the aim of The Omaha Bee to offci
i to its readers the most complete and well balanced nevvspa
1 per possible.
In keeping with this policy there will be undertaken a
number of constructive improvements which this newspaper
! believes will greatly strengthen the position of The Omaha
Bee as the outstanding newspaper of its territory.
These improvements will be made along two lines. First,
additional wire service. Second, new and additional features.
The Omaha Bee will be served by two of the largest
news gathering organizations in the world—Tlie Interna
tional News Service and the Universal Service. These, mind
you, in addition to The Associated Press, whose complete
24-hour report is received by this paper.
With the addition of these wires, five great trunk wires
will bring more than 200,000 words of news- into this office
of The Omaha Bee during each 24 hours.
Twice as Big as a Magazine.
Pause a moment and give a little thought to what this
means to newspaper readers. Vou pay 35 cents for a mag
azine. It contains, perhaps, half a dozen to a dozen short
stories, a few features and a few special articles and install
ments of two or three serial stories. Enough reading matte*
for a week, you decide, as you pay the price. Yet the maga*
zine contains not more than half as many words as these fit*
trunk wires bring to The Omaha Bee each day.
The International News Service is a world-wide agenc,
for the gathering of news. It operates its wires during th«
daylight hours, but its news gatherers are on the alert dav
and night. This agency has star reporters stationed at all
the strategic news points in the world and its motto is
speed and accuracy. It has a large staff of trained writers
who know how to whip the news in shape so that it may be
transformed from a disconnected account to smooth, easy
read story by the time it reaches white print paper.
Crack Reporter* All Over World.
Universal Service operates a night wire. But like the In
ternational News Service its reporters never sleep. It hr.
crack men in Washington to gather and write the big po
litical news of the day: more crack men in New York where
it is said there is something new happening every minute of
the day, and in the big European cities and capitals. London.
Paris. Berlin. Rome and in Ireland. Russia, the Balkans.
Then there is The Associated Press, the largest nev -
gathering organization in the world. Omaha is happily sr
uated regarding The Associated Press because its grea
trunk wires running from Chicago to the Pacific coast run
through this city.
The Omaha Bee receives the complete service of this
famous news agency. At 8 o'clock Monday morning of each
week the main trunk wire of The Associated Press begin
its work. It continues da\ and night, never slopping unti
3 o'clock the following Sunday morning. Thousands upon
thousands of words come over this wire, news messages
from Chicago. New York. Washington. London, Paris. Ber
lin. Egypt, the China coast, lar off Australia, from every
part of the world. Little happens in thi- sphere of ours tha*
escapes the alert eyes and ears of The Associated Press and
its many employes.
Many New Feature* Added.
But it is not alone in its wire service that The Omaha Bee
takes another step forward. A number of new feature'
which will meet with instant approval from discriminating
newspaper readers are to be published in this paper, includ
ing the complete service of The. New York Tribune.
For instance, there is Briggs. Who does not know Briggs"
One of the really great comic cartoonists of the age is Clair*
Briggs, the former Nebraska man who graduated from tk
state university in the days when the Nebraska instituti* -
boasted of General John ,1. Pershing as its own. Briggs v .
one ot Pershing's mathematics students.
All of Briggs’ cartoons w ill appear hereafter exclusively
in The Omaha Bee. Look at them once, you will never wa
to miss one after that. Because Briggs is a real humori*
a real artist, a real cartoonist.
Then there’s Ding, as they call him. Jay N. Darling -
his real name. Ding is an Iow an, a resident of Dos Moino>
He is regarded by many ns the greatest serious cartoonist «>
all times. His secret is “punch." Never was there a Dit g
cartoon that lacked “kick." Possessed of a brilliant analyii
cal mind ami the talent to put his ideas upon the drawing
board. Ding has proved himself no le** than a genius an.
above all the kind ot genius that can bo understood ami
appreciated by everybody.
Famous Special Writer*.
Also numbered in the new features The Omaha B<
is adding to its list are Percy Hammond, the highes; paid
dramatic Uilie in the world, who will write ot the theato
in New York: William Stewart White, the Kansas author
editor ami philosopher: Sally Milgrim, famous fashion o'
pert: Thornton Burgess, famous author of Bedtime Storit <
Florence Davies, an authority on topics of interest to women ;
Arthur Brisbane, the great editorial writer: Giantism! K;,
and Damon Human, -bars in the world of -port, and man
