FIVE STARS OF TEAM WHICH MEETS MURPHY-DID-ITS TODAY ,
The five players whose photos are
shown In the accompanying layout
were the biggest cog in helping the
Guarantee Fund Life to bring home
the championship of the Commercial
league and also in copping the Satur
day championship.
This afternoon the followers of the
insurance crew are expecting this
same quintet to help the Saturday
champs annex the city title from the
Murphy Did Its, Sunday champions,
when the two teams play the first
two of a three-game series at Fort
Omaha.
During the regular league season
Verl Bressman did the catching for
the Saturday champs, but along to
wards the finish of the league race
suffered an injury to his finger and
now plays first base.
A1 Tolliver, capta?.i, poled out
more extra base hits than any other
member of the team. The slugging
YOUNGSTERS WILL "
TAKE VETS’ PLACES
New York, Sept. 6.—Veteran play
ers are about to be replaced with
youngsters in Boston and St. Louis.
Tho failure of the Red Sox and Car
dinals to finish higher than the sec
ond division this season has convinced
Managers Kohl and Rickey that radi
cal changes are imperative. Fohland
Robert Quinn, president of the Red
Sox, soon will announce the engage
ment of new material with which to
reconstruct the Boston Americans. It
is rumored that Fohl has decided to
part with Veach, “Shano" Collins,
Shanks and others who have worn
out their welcome in the Hub.
Jimmy PM
,. ——
field leader plays second base for the
Life Protectors. '
Louts Semerad by twrling some
good ball In the Berles against the
Overland Tires came to the rescue of
the Saturday champs when It seemed
they were about to crumble after the
downfall of Pete Petersen, who has
done the hurling for the Insurance
men for the past two seasons.
Jimmy Paul, center fielder, Is one
of the best sacrifice hitters In the Sat
urday leagues. In addition to pos
sessing the knack of advancing the
base runners via the bunt route, Paul
covers oodles of ground In the out
field.
John Bressman, the leading hitter
of the Saturday' championship outfit,
plays third base or left field. This
lad, who bats left-handed, has been
the source of much worry on the part
of opposing pitchers.
SCOTCH GOLF PRO

Old Happy Hollow Golf Course
to Be Known as Dundee in Future
E GINNING No
vember 1 the old
Happy Hollow
golf course will
he known as the
Dundee golf
course. The
course has heen
leased by three
Omalia men, Vin
cent G. Hascall,
Clarence T. Spier
and Hester C.
Buell, for a period
of five years.
Thla syndicate
will operat* the
course on the dally payment plan
which has proved a success in rev
eral other cities. A now club house
will bo erected and ready for use by
the opening date, according to Jlas
call. It Is to contain showers for
both men and women, a spacious
lounge, a business office, eafe and
all conveniences of a private club,
Hascall says.
Privileges < ' the roars* nnd cluh
will he open to all golfers. Fees will
be $1 on week days; $1.35 on Satur
days and $1.50 on Sundays. The use
of the cluh will he reserved for men
exclusively on Saturday afternoon,
Sunday mornings and holiday morn
ings.
A limited number of yearly privi
lege tickets will be sold, Mr. Buell
announced—$30 for men and $35 for
women. A new plan to prevent wait
ing at the first tee will be Innovated
at the Dundee course. Golfers may
reserve by telephone a five minute
period In which they are to atart.
By arriving at that time they will
be free to tee off without Interference,
and the Interval between tee offg
will be five minutes.
Driving nets and putting greens
are to be provided, and services of
on Omaha professional are to be ob
tained.
The lease for the course was ob
tained from the Dundee Realty com
pany, a holding company controlled
by C. C. George. The payments will,
to nn extent, be contingent on the
amount of patronage received by the
rluh.
"We believe such a course will be
of great benefit to Omaha," said Has
call. "The course will be kept In
high class condition, and will be so
conducted that complete enjoyment
of the game will be possible. Those
obtaining the yearly privilege may
begin using It In November and con
tinue through the year of 1925. The
new club house, to be located at the
foot of Davenport street west of the
creek, will provide ample parking
space. Sequence of holes on the
course will be reversed so that the old
No. 10 will be No. 1: No. 9 will be No.
19 and the present No. 18 will be
No. 9."
A suggestion was made to th»
grievance committee today that,
should the Hirst Methodist team be
ruled out of the gams Saturday,
some other Church league team with
a high standing be allowed to take
their place. No action was taken on
this suggestion.
Sportsmanship , ,
in Olympic Games
Keen, Not Bad
Little Squabbles Merely Remit
of Temperament and
Were Later Lived
Down.
London, Kept, e.—a sporting
representative of the Observ
er favors the quadrennial Olym
pic games and says they should go
on. What some people have termed
bad sportsmanship in the Olympie
games, the well-known erleketer, J.
W. H. T. Douglas, has characterized
as "keenness.” Famous sportsmen
like H. M. Abrahams, Evan Hunter
and a crowd of others concur In this
view, and all are agreed that we must
make allowances for the fiery I,atin
temperament which haa caused the
F'renrli and Italians to do and say
things during the lest few months
for which they are now undoubtedly
penitent.
With the sole exception of the box
lng Incident and the quarrel between
the Italian and Hungarian fencers,
the Olympiad ran perfectly smoothly;
one cannot legislate for the attitude
of the crowd, and there was perfect
harmony between the athletes of all
nations. I would go further, indeed,
and from my own personal experience,
point out that many a time at the
Colombes stadium, foreign coaches
and athletes themselves came for
ward of their own free will to give
our men Invaluable advice.
Of the international aspect of the
affair it may well he said that our
long experience and cool British tem
perament have taught us to play the
game as we see It. The Americans
and the Scandinavians, too, know how
to take both defeat and victory; hut
one cannot blame the more impetuous
and less experienced lartln races for
their lack of understanding of the
point of view of temperamentally
cooler peoples
3Ve all want to win, otherwise we
have no business in international
competition, and If the keenness of
the French and Italians has some
what outrun discretion and even good
manners, the only thing for us to do
is to give them time to learn, as they
undoubtedly are learning, to play the
game according to our lights. Results
and actual perfortnanees by foreign
ers at the game* have completely
answered all criticism. Nations, nnn
athletic a generation ago. have per
formed prodigies in athletics, so that
it may he justly held that through
Die medium of the Olympic games,
the English-speaking Ideal of sport
has now spread broadcast across the
world. If we now condemn the games,
or even withdraw from them, all the
good work accomplished during the
last 30 years will be nullified
If one regards the matter from a
purely selfish end insular point of

Milwaukee, wi*., sept. «. —
Answering the rail of Coach
Frank 3. Murray, more than
50 mole-skinned warriors will go Into
training at the Marquette university

Beulah, WIs., 39 miles from Milwau

The equad will remain In camp for
almost three weeks before returning
to Milwaukee, and the present sched

day. Coach Murray and his assist
ants. Freeman Fitzgerald and Lloyd
Scott, face great problems, not the
least of which is to have their eleven

evil days, which has left us with a
multiplicity of flagrant pothunters,
but very few first class scratch per
formers We, ourselves, have learned
Invaluable lessons from participation
In the Olympic games and other in
iernatlonai contests. In consequence
it is plain today that the handicap
system Is doomed
International, inter community and
inter-club contests, at which all the
competitions, both on the track and
In the field events, are of the scratch
or very short limit handicap order,
are the only ones which appeal both
to the public and the best class of
athletes. As the direct result of this
we are Just beginning to regain our
lost laurels. Without the Incentive
of international competition it will
be found that the 'varsities and the
services will once more withdraw the
light of their countenance and decent
athletic sports will again become a
thing of the past In Great Britain.
For this reason. If for no other, we
should continue to support the Olym
pic movement.
For the revision of the Olynipk
games program there is, however, a
great deal to be said. In the present
imperfect state of humanity, boxing
and wrestling, sports from which per
sonal contact is Inseparable, seem
hound to lead to unpleasantness, amt
might, therefore, well be dropped.
Gaines, such as football and hockey,
come into the same category, and are,
moreover, subjects for individual in
ternational matches, rather than the
pool system which appertains at the
games. The Davis cup competition,
Wimbledon and Henley cater for the
needs of the nations hi tennis and
rowing, and I suppose that Richmond j
and the International horse show are
sufficient for the equestrians.
It resolves itself into this, then,
that it would be sound policy to limit
the program at the quadrennial
Olympic celebrations to the stadium
events for athletes, and to cycling
and swimming, if this was done, the
cost of promoting and taking part in
