for 19 Seasons
Omaha Golfers Always Man
age to Keep Champion
ship in This City—Tour
ney at Lincoln in June.
3LF. that grand
old Scottish game,
will come Into full
bloom next month
when nearly
every club In the
state holds some
sort of competi
tion .
The annual
tournament of the
Nebraska State
Golf association
will be held at the
new Lincoln
Country club
course the week
of June 9 to 14,
inclusive, to re-crown or crown a new
champion.
"Re-crown" In the foregoing asser
tion Is used advisedly because Ram
Reynolds of Omaha Is the present
champion. A veteran of many tour
naments, _he is recognized as one of
the best In this section when playing
under the pressure that Is synony
mous with the tournament grind.
Since the first tournament In 1905
the state association has never missed
a year. The champions and their
period of reign:
190/1—E. P. Boyer. Omaha Meld club.
1906— Siuarue Abbott. Omaha Country
club.
1907— If. C. Soniney, Omaha Field rluh.
1908— s. Blaine Youur. Omaha Country
club.
1900—Frank ff. C.alnee. Omaha Country
club.
1910— IV. .1. F'oye. Omahn Country rlub.
1911— Flunk H. Culne*. Omaha f ountry
club.
1912— Sam IV. Key noble. Omaha Field
club.
1913— J. W. Ilurhea. Omaha Field club.
1914— Horn tV. Reynolds. Omaha Field
club.
'••IS—.John tV. Redlck. Omaha Country
rlub.
—Sam tV. Reynolds. Omaha Field
dob.
1917— tiuy IleeketF. Sevmoor take Coun
try rlub.
1918— Kenneth Reed. Elmwood Park
( minin’ Club.
1919— Sam tV. Reynolds. Omaha Field
club.
1920— Ruloh M. Petera. Omaha < ountry
club.
1921— S. Illoino t ouns. Omnlia Field
club.
1922— ham tt . Reynold*. Omaha Field
cluli.
1923— Sam tV. Remold*. Omaha Field
dub.
A glance at this list shows very
clearly the prowess of Reynolds. Five
times he has won the title. Likewise
it shows that never in the history of
the association has an outstater been
able to come through to the title. It
is, or has been in other years, con
sidered quite an event when an out
stater was able to qualify in the first
flight.
This year a special appeal has been
broadcast to the outstate players to
get into the tournament. As a
special inducement extra flights have
l*een arranged for those outstatrrs
who fait to qualify In the champion
ship, president, vice president, secre
tary and director*' flights.
Tournament experience weighs
heavily In the game of golf and of
firera of the state association are
taking this into consideration in try
ing to uncover talent In other towns
besides Omaha Omaha has always
bad a corner on the golfing ability
of Nebraska.
Programs and entry blanks have
been mailed out by Secretary Merle
Rathburn.
Monday and Tuesday, June 9 and
Ift, will lie given over to the qualify
ing rounds. Kigliteen holes will he
played each day. Tics in ttie qualify
ing rounds will he played off Wed
nesday morning and first round play
in all flights will start the same day.
All finals except those In the
championship flight will be complet
ed Friday and Saturday. The final
ists will go the 3fi-hole route to the
title, 14 holes In the morning and IS
in the afternoon.
A banquet honoring the visiting
players will be held Tuesday evening
at the clubhouse. All contestants
are advised to bring their hethlng
suits ns the club's swimming pool
will be open to all players.

WO of the most

h • ivywil ght.
c h a m p1onship
crown now worn
by Mike McTigue
of Dublin and
New York will
furnish tha fea
ture fistic attrac
tion of this week.
Ad Stona and
Tommy Lough
ran, both natives
of Philadelphia,
will ciaah in a
scheduled 3 0
round bout In their home city Mon
day night, which is expected to elimi
nate one from the list of good fighters
who are clamoring for a crack at Mc
Tigue, conqueror of Battling Slkl, and
Just at present the most artful dodger
of the eight reigning kings of pug
ilism.
Not much has been heard of Stone
outside of Ills home city, but hi* rec
ord is one of the most remarkable
ones in the boxing record book, while
Ixiughran has been very much In the
limelight for the last year, due largely
to three bouts he had with McTigue
and three with Harry Greb, which
stamped him as one of the leaders of
his division.
Stone, who Is only 12 years of age,
has been fighting for just two years
and his backers believe he I* sure to
be the next light heavyweight cham
pion. Me has climbed in the game
more rapidly than any other young
ster. He did not start boxing until
February. 1922, and in his seventh
bout in the month following h!a de
but. he was sent against Sergt. Ray
Smith, conqueror of Bob Martin,
much against the judgment of wise
men of boxing who thought Stone was
being rushed along too fast.
Hut the Quaker tit.v youngster
electrified the fistic world when lie
knocked out Smith in the very first
round. This showed clearly that
Stone had one of the most dangerous
punches in liis division and opposing
boxers immediately gained a whole
some respect for his ability. From
that time on lie met all the men he
could get matches with and hi his
total of 28 fights he has registered 18
knockouts and has not been defeated.
He has kniMked out \l Roberts of
Staten Island and defeated Tom
Roper and Mike Rurke.
loughran gained < onsideraMe fame
early In 1923 when he met Harry
Greb twice, the firat time in Phila
delphia and the second in New York.
Greb at the time was American light
heavyweight champion. In the first
engagement Greb was given a shade
by the writers of the Quaker City, but
I-oughran mr.de such a creditable
showing that New York promoters
sought a return contest and they
wera matched for 3 5 rounds in the
boxing renter of the universe. At the
end of 15 hard rounds Greb was given
the decision, but it was so close that
Loughran had fully established him
self as one of the leading contenders
fer the title and he was barely old
enough to fight in New York under
the law There that prevents minors
engaging In ’’ round hattles.
