FELTMAN LEAVES
SCTANDARD NINE
Rumor has It that Sam Feltman,
outfielder for the Standard Laundry
team, quit the clothes cleaners’ team
.iuat before the Woodmen game last
Sunday. The story as told by some
of the Standard players Is to the ef
fect that the hefty out fielder refused
to play any longer with the I.aundry
team when Manager Cecil ],ehr of the
I.aundry nine refused to call off last
Sunday's game with the Woodmen of
the World upon receiving word of the
death of Mrs. Mancuso, mother of
Frank Mancuso. third baseman for
the Laundry team.
Feltman contended that the Laun
dry club should have postponed the
game nut of respect to Frank
Mancuso.

will again cavort about the Field
club courts. Davies has been going
strong this year and much Is expected
of the champ.
E. If. McCormick, 1it22 champ, is
back in town and will lie seen in ac
tion again this year. McCormick hail
a hard tussle witii llmaha's own Hill
Adams in the 11122 tourney. Adams,
runneriip in several tournaments, w III
not compete this year, as lie Is in
Dallas, Tex.
Ralph Newell, veteran southpaw,
has never landed on top of the heap,
but lias come mighty close, having
been runneriip in numerous meets.
Newell was the man that gave Davies
such a run for his money In last
year’s city meet.
Joe Adams, llarry Koch, Arl Scrib
ner, Spike Kennedy and John Rrotli
erton, all experienced men on Omaha
courts, will he fighting to cop the
title.
Among the younger members who
will attempt to wrest the title from
the heads of the older competitors
will he I!. Wilson, Oxford univer
sity (Kngland) student: Ralph Church.
Ren Klilphen and Albert Kinkel.
Noting Wilson has been attending
Ovord for the past four years, so
little is known of his ability under
fire, although in practice he seems to
have the stuff that champs are
made of.
Ralph Church and Ren Stilphen, as
members of the Omaha junior tennis
team, have acquired skill and speed
in the racquet-swinging department.
Albeit Finkel, Junior state rhamp,
has not been In constant competition
this year, so little Is known of the
king of the juveniles.
