Omaha Bee Sports TO APPEAR AGAINST CITY’S BEST AT OMAHA ALLEYS-WILL BOWL AFTERNOON AND NIGHT Kenneth Sciple, Holder of I. B. A. Singl es Record, and George Kennedy Will Probably Go Up Against Champ —Blouin Has 207 Average for 335 Championship Match Games. By “WAG.” TUB great game of bowling in Oma ha and neighbor ing towns and hamlets will re ceive one of its biggest boosts on Thursday night, February 28, wnen jimmy Blouin, the world’s champion howler, appears in matches at the , Omaha alleys. Arrangements were completed yesterday by T. R Jameson, manager of the Omaha alleys, for the delayed appearance of the champion pin-smasher of the uni verse in this city. We say delayed for the simple reason that last winter Blouin promised Jameson he would visit Omaha and show the home boys how to chalk up strikes, spares and all that goes with good bowling, but fdr some reason or other he was un able to include Omaha on his tour. This season, however, Jameson start ed angling for Blouin's services early and yesterday received the signed ’ contract from the champion bowler. Blouin will compete against the best bowlers of Omaha. Kenneth ' Sciplc, wild holds the I. B. A. sin gles record of 717, and Oeorge Ken nedy, anottier crack when It conics to rolling the maple balls down the Slippery alleys, will bowl against Blouin. The champion will exhibit itfs wares in the afternoon and ■gain at night. Six matches in all will be rolled, three in the afternoon and three in the exciting. The Chicago wizard of the alleys is the only bowler who has never been defeated In a regularly arranged in dividual match game. Ills grand av erage for all championship match games is 207 for 335 games. He won his title by defeating Joe Falcaro of New York in a 40-game match. Blou In’s average for the 40 games was 129. He turned in one 300 game. Blouin will come to Omaha from lies Moines where he is scheduled to bowl the pick of the bowlers of lliat city, Sunday and Monday. Feb i uary 24 and 25, in exhibition matrhs at the Grand alleys. He will toll six matches each day while in lies Moines.

WHITNEY, WILL RACE AT TIAJUANA ^ IT5 Qv/neS^utacy TIAJL ANA RACE TRACK, Mexico. —The opportunity to add more laurels to the enviable ones which her thoroughbreds have earned, to gether with the chance of having them share in the distribution of $74, 500 in added money for the six stakes and other rich rewards, has decided one of the best known society women of the country to race her kingly runners at Tiajuana. She is Mrs. I’aj'ne Whitney of New York, whose fortune makes her one of the richest women in the I nited Stales. Her horses race un der the well known nom de course of the Greentrbe stable, and this establishment holds the rontrart on Jockey Ivan Parke, the youthful saddle star, whose riding at New Orleans this winter lias been star tling the turf world. Honors which would seem to Justify the vast sum Mrs. Whitney has ex pended in building up a stable and repay her for her ardent devotion to the racing game have Just accrued to her. so the 1923 record of racing in America discloses. For the 12 months her Greentree stable finished second on the list of American money winning owners, with the high figure of $199, 032, being exceeded only by the total winnings of the Hancocas stable, which races the mighty 14ev. This record gives Mrs. Whitney world wide distinction, for never in the history of racing in the entire world has a woman ever presided over such a champion racing establishment. The Greentree stable has Just no tified the Tiajuana Jockey rlub that the Whitney-owned string will be shipped from New Orleans within two weeks and tliat Jockey Parke will also come on to ride them in their important stake engagements at Tiajuana. ( The stars of the Greentree stable coming to Tiajuana are Moonraker, Exodus, Solisa, Darzler and Pan dowdy, and these thoroughbreds will bring big reputations here to sustain, for they will be required to meet the best stake horses in America. These must hook up with Exterminator, Little Chief, Osprey, Feylance, Knob ble and others of championship cali ber in the $40,000 Coffroth handicap, the $10,000 Tiajuana cup and other Btakes which have become classics in western racing. nX)NP/KF.P* I A* Mr*. Whitney take* much pride in the success of her horse* and i* a frequent visitor at the New York tracks, it is considered quite probable that she will be here to see them perform in their Im portant encasements. She ha* given liberally of her wealth in building -up a formidable stable and she would undoubtedly derive great sat isfaction in qeeiiig her color* carried to victory in at least one of the Tiajuaiia stakes.
