Local Interest In bowling , nhlch was man
ifested ins I frill when Itnloor sperm llrcl
came In vogue , has continual unabated and
lu more apparent at this tlniu than ever before -
fore In thu history ot this popular porl In
Omaha. A large number of young und mid
dle-used , and , Indeed , 801110 old men who
had never bowled before , wcro attracted by
the popularity ot thu game , and snmu of
thiwo .beginners have developed Into expert
manipulator of the bowls.
Several of the down-town alleys arc
thronged afternoon and evening , and In one
of the most ucccfBlblo resorts , where regu
lation alleys are maintained. It la a dllllcult
matter U > find an empty alley. I'artlcs of
bowlern frequently arc compelled to await
thcnr turns , nnd the delay nt times length-
cus into an hour or longer.
The popularity which bowling has at
tained In Onialm l by no means strange.
All who arc devotees ot the sport bear wit
ness that It provided excellent exercise nnd
necessitates a < lcgreo of proficiency on the
part of the players HUlllclcnt to enhance Interest
terestIn the game. As to Us fascination
ono needs only to visit the alleys a few
times to ascertain that the attraction IB
Etrnng enough to bring the ( time- men to-
Kethor at every opportunity , anxious to en
gage in a giimo of ten pins , nine pins , seven
back , Tour-back or cocked hat.
Of late the question has frequently arisen
BS to why the bowlers do not band thcm-
tolvcn Into clubs and engage In match
games. This has been deemed Inadvisable
by'the promoters of the sport In Omaha ho
cause of the limited number of alleys post -
t 2od by any of the bowling resorts. The
proprietors of the alleys have rather dis
couraged mich organizations because they
derive moro remunerative bcnoIU from gen
eral play than they would from match con
tests. In gencml play the game Is changed
to suit the fancy of the playera and the
.bowling progresses moro rapidly than It does
wherp the playera are engaged In an ex
hibition contest.
" \Ve > cxpoct , " said the proprietor of a local
bowling resort , "to enlarge our facilities
next summer by the addition of four or six
now alloys. Then wo will bo prepared for
the clubs , which will undoubtedly be or
ganized by that time. Thus far bowling In
Omaha Is rather In Its Infancy so far as
general public Interest Is concerned , and It
ban been our elTort 'this season to Increase
Interest In the sport and recruit new plov
C ers Into the ranks. When the clubs ore
ready for formation the ability of the play
ers who have been bowling right along will
bo carefully weighed and the captains will
bo abln to select the men who have shown
themselves most proficient. "
"I saw a young man who had never bowled
n game In his lifo Initiated Into the sport
the other nftcrnooni by playing a game ot
tenpins , " said a local bowling authority a
day or two ago. "lie was rather slight In
build and the result of the two hours'
bowling ho engaged In left him sore and
crippled the next day. In all probability
ho lost all Interest In the sport and may
not bowl ngnln. Ho made a mistake In playIng -
Ing tewplns on the start. The heavy balls
used In this game will tell on the strongest
man unless ho has developed the musclesc
useil In bowling by playing games on the
start where the smaller bowls are used.
"Ono of the strongest arguments In sup
port ot bowling Is the exorcise It gives the
bowler and the development ct 'the ' many
muscles brought Into play. A novice , how
ever , should not start In on tenpins with the
big bull * . Ho should play at first four-
back , ninepins or cocked hat. Another mis
taken nation young bowlers have is that
they should bowl with all their strength
and 'the herculean efforts porno beginners
Indulge In In releasing the bowls Is amus
ing. One of the line points of the game Is
the ability to bowl a slow , easy ball nnd it
is easier to cultivate this at llrst than any
other time. The llrst thing a beginner
should endeavor to learn Is how > to con
trol the ball. 'Ho will gradually find hiin-
itolf able to put the speed Into the bowl
necessitated by the evur-vnrylns clrcum-
Flunces of the game and locations of the
pins , "
Charles . Len'tz , who Is ono of the moat
clover nnd most enthusiastic bowlers In the
city , established a record at ninepins re
cently which entities' ' him to consideration
In the bowling world nt largo. Ho stuited
In to bowl with no expectation of estab
lishing a record and in the llrst game played

moro scores to the first ten , making n record

IOWA CITY , la. , Feb. 8. To the
Ktlltor of The Dee : A dual field
meet between the State- Universities of lown
nnd South Dakota , to be held the middle of
May In Sioux City , Is bQlng talked of nnd
will probably bo held. Special trains will
bo run from Vermilion and Iowa City , and
hundreds of rooters from both schools will
make their presence known. This will bo
the first athletic meet Iowa has ever had
with a school outside of the state.
Iowa Is on probation , as It were , In
athletics. Last spring It won first place
In the state athletic field meet at DCS Molnoa ,
and In the fall made the greatest record In
foot ball ever known anywhere. Hut other
universities look upon Iowa's "success as
transitory nnd are not willing to believe It
-was the result of hard work , training and
merit. To prove that it is Justly entitled to
Its place as western athletic champion , Iowa
Is already preparing for this year's contests
on track and field. Dr. A. A. Knife , the
famous coach , will stay with Iowa this year ,
In splto of the Haltering offer made him to
become athletic director of the University
of Minnesota , with a full professorship oa
the faculty.
George W. Egnn , president of the Uni
versity of Iowa Athletic union , has been
elected president of the State Athletic ( as
sociation of Iowa college.
W. II. Ilrcmner has been re-elected Iowa's
representative to the State Athletic associa
tion. Mr. . Bremner Is a graduate of the
university , Is a lawyer and lives In DCS
Jlolnes.
Fred. C. McCutchen has been re-elected
general mianager of all university athletic
teams. The olllco has been created recently
and pays a salary.
Dr. A. A. Knife , one of the best known
coaches in the country , will contlnuo as
athletic director and will coach all athletic
teams and train all contestants for track
events In the state field meet.
The medals won by the University of Iowa
In the state field meet last May .have finally
reached Iowa City. They are in the hands
of John G. Griffith , captain of the 1900
basket ball and foot ball teams , and will
soon bo given to the winners of the several
events. J. E. CAMPBELL.

While Tom Sharkey is making extensive
preparations for his fight next Tuesday night
with Joe Goddard he has not for a moment
lost his Intcnso dcslro for a return match
with Champion Jeffries. It begins to look
nn\\ , too , as though a return engagement
between the two central figures In heavy-
velght circles will bo arranged , and such
btlns thu case Sharkey has any number
of friends who are ready to stake their all
upon his success. Tom O'ltourke , manager
for Sharkey , has deposited $1,000 for a ,
match with Jeffries. This came about as
the result of a declaration made by Jeffries'
manager , W. A. Brady , who said that If
Sharkey was so anxious for a return match
with Jeft'ries bo 'would do well to afforO
some substantial proof of his sincerity. The
$1,000 deposit is certainly sufficient evidence
of good faith nnd It Is now "up" to Brady.
Sporting" enthusiasts will bo dlsappolntod
If Brady does not cover the forfeit aniJ
enter Into negotiations for another match
between Jeffries and Sharkey. Ordinarily ,
sporting men are not Inclined to countc-
ntnco the demands of a defeated pugilist for
a return fight. In the case of Jeffrlea and ,
Sharkey , however , the conditions ore excep
tlonal. Sharkey was In the fight for tha
whole twenty-fivo rounds , . nd the state-
j merits that he was game to the last are
moro than substantiated by the reproduction
of pictures of the fight given at a local play
house last week. The awarding of the de
elslon to Jeffries raised a great rumpus , and
yet , In all fairness , It Is but right to credit
Referou Sllor 'with ' making the decision ho
believed warranted 'by ' the fight. If Sharkoy
had been disposed of In a few rounds the
conditions would 'bo entirely different. His
requests for arothcr match would well bo
considered lightly. Under thu clrcum

honors untArnUhcd only by agreeing to meet
St-srkey a-gatn. "
Sharkey's friends will await with con
siderable Interest the showing ho may make
In his fight with Joe Ooddard. The sailor
Is now In traln'lng near Philadelphia , and
whllo preparing for the Goddard fray Is
also getting himself Into condition for his
match with Choynskl. which Is scheduled to
eomo off March 3. Sharkey ought to easily
dispose of Goddard , although ho admits ho
Is going up against a dangerous man , ono
whom ho appreciates ho must deal with
carefully.
Jeffries and Corbett are In training for
their forthcoming fray , which will be held In
San Francisco March 15. The Important
preliminaries relative to the place of the
fight wcro arranged last week and the
Golden Gate city was selected. Interest
from now on until the fight comes off will
cuitcr In the training operations of the
two fighters. Jeffries IB nt Hot Springs ,
Ark. , and has with him as his principal
trainer Tommy Hyan , the pugilist who was
his right hand bower when ho was prepar
ing for the match with Sharkey. Recently
Jeffries was thoroughly examined by a.
physician nnd the medical man , as well aa
the champion , Is confident that his arm , the
tendons of which were hurt while practicing
with a medicine ball before his contest with
Sharkey , will be as strong as It ever was by
the tlmo Jcffrlca gets through his course ot
baths and light training.
Corbctt's training quarters are In New
Jersey und he Is studiously devoting his at
tention to preparations for his big fight. The
ex-champion Is said to bo perfecting a do-
fcniMj that will stop the terrible right-hand
body blows of Jeffries that almost put
Sharkey out of the game. Ho does not
think that Jeffries can land on him
cffcctlTcly , but the ex-champion Is develop
ing his left forearm to use as a block In
case cf an emergency.
Ono of the Interesting fights of the present
month is booked for the 23d , when Joe
Choynskl and Joe Walcott .will meet bcforo
the Droadway Athletic club. The latter has
bit oft a pretty big chunk from a pugilistic
gastronomlcnl standpoint In his next fight.
if ho should win It will be one of the big
surprises of the season.
Clioyiiskl Is by all odds the favorite In
this contest. H Is a trifle strange , but true
nevertheless , that McCoy's fiasco with
Choyuskl In which the Californlan was un
doubtedly robbed of a justly earned decision ,
lias Increased the popularity of the defeated
pugilist In about the same ratio as It has
weaned McCoy's * friends away from him. In
the Walcott light Choynskl wll have the nd-
vantage of weight and height , but , neverthe
less , It Is expected by Wnicott's friends that
lie will put up a game fight. The big Call-
fornlan Is still anxious for another chance
at McCoy , and if the "Kid" persists in his
refusal on such pretexts as retirement from
the.ring his championship honors will bo
full ot emptiness ,
That llttlo whirlwind of a fighter , Terry
McGovern , the featherweight champion , has
a light booked for March fl , when he will
meet Oscar Gardner. The latter Is qulto
likely to fall before the onward sweep of
victory which has characterized all of the
Urooklynlto's recent ring exhibitions. "Kid"
Broad's signal defeat of Joe Dernsteln re
cently makes him eligible to a match with
McGovern nnd a contest between these two
Is expected soon to be announced.
A coterie of "sure thing" men , who
thought they had the McGovcrn-Santry light
"fixed , " whereby Santry would last the en
tire six rounds , were dumfounded when
the- Chicago lad was put away In the fifth.
Afterward they foolishly set up a howl and
by so doing exposed the dastardly scheme to
which they were parties , but which failed
to materialize according to their expecta
tions. All bets made on this fight were that
Santry would last the eutlro six rounds , and
the Santry money came from sources which
had been Informed that arrangements had
been made whereby McGovern would not
knock the Chicago boy out. The scheme is
denounced by the managers of Tattersalls ,
where the fight took place. They assert
their Ignorance of any such a proposition
having been seriously considered by anyone
In authoritative position. Their position nnd
Innocence In the matter Is sustained by the
result of the fight and the "sure thing" men
are the ones at whom all manner of fun and
derision Is being poked.
WESTERN MAGNATES TO MEET

Tha reduction committee of the National
league Is still wr&ttllap with the problem
of how best to proceed to lop off the four
superfluous teams from the circuit , and It
Is now promised that a meeting of the
leaguu magnates will be held this week for
the purpcso of arranging affairs for the
coming season. The object of Interest In
national base ball circles the past week has
been the meeting of the promoters of the
American association In Philadelphia. Up to
the present time no showing ot financial
backing has been made HUlllclent to Justify
the belief , that the organization will ever
pasa beyond the present preliminary stage.
Tha principal set-back was encountered In
the withdrawal of the financial hacking for
the Philadelphia club , which had been depended
ponded upon. Efforts were made to secure
other moneyed men with base ball man
agerlal bees In their bonnets to ns > aumo
charge of the club In the Quaker City , but
so fur they have availed nothing. From pres
ent Indications It Is reasonable to surmise
that the llfo of the American association
will bo squeezed out of It even before tlio
baeo ball eeanon dawns. This will leave the
base ball situation next season much as It
lies been heretofore. The National league
will probably have , howovur , eight clubs In
stead of the original dozen. The American
league , formerly the Western , will provide
professional ball for some of the cities
dropped from the National circuit , and the
National and American leagues will con
tlnuo to bo the major and minor organlza >
tlons wIWi vorlouM district leagues covering
certain territories , as In the past.
Local Interest Is centered in the meeting
of the Western league which will conveiiu
In DCS Slolncs tomorrow. Manager Hud
Keith nnd Secretary Dan Taylor will rep.
rfficnt tbo local club and will leave tonight
In order to bo In attendance upon the mcet-
Ing. "Bill" O'Hourke ' , an old-tlmo favorllo
In local baeo ball circles , who has recently
been playing In various eastern leagues , will
accompany them. O'llourko arrived in
Omaha a few days ago from his homo nt
fira'iid Island , where he had been visiting
relatives for n few weeks.
It U expected that at the DCS Molncs meet
ing the circuit of tlio Western league will
bo completed and arrangements perfected
for Its future operation. The five cities now
composing the circuit DCS Molnes , Sioux
City , Omaha. St. Joseph and Denver are all
well organized. There are three cities yet
' to bo chosen to complete the necessary
| eight clubs. It rents Improbable now that
St. Paul and Minneapolis will Join the
'
league , although there Is a possibility that
the former city will make a strong bid for
admission. It IB deemed Inadvisable by thu
magnates to take St. IMul In without Mln-
noupo'ls because of the long Jump that would
bo nccewltntcd. Pr ent Indications point
to tha ( election of Rock Island , Cedar
Itapids and Pueblo as the remaining thrco
members ot the circuit. All thet > o cities are

-Manager Keith predicts that these three
cities will bo chosen , and Is jubilant over the
splendid circuit which would be completed
jy their entry Into tbo league. Ho will go
to Dos Molncs prepared to give closing ac
counts ot the prospects In Omaha for the
ocal club. Base ball enthusiasm here wits
never moro marked at this season of the
year than now , and Manager Keith has re
ceived remarkable encouragement In his ef-
'orts to once moro establish professional ball
iiere. Ilo Is In correspondence with a largo
number of first rate ball players who are
anxious to secure a place in the Omaha
team und will be able to make most desir
able selections for the vacant places on the
team. The work of organization on a perma
nent basis will be started as soon as the
meeting at DOS Molnra Is over and the
league is formally launched with all Its rig
ging In place.
It has been definitely decided that the ball
grounds will ho at Thirteenth nnd Vlntoa
streets , and when the weather will permit
grading will be started. Already plans for
the grandstand have been drawn and other
arrangements made for the Improvement ot
the park. The selection of Nonpareil park
ip.ceta with the hearty approval of all the
fans In both Omaha and South Omaha. Its
location is convenient to both cities and the
street car facilities arc such that long car
rides from the business portions of either
city will bo unnecessary.

and Leo Bailey of Norfolk will bo among
the Nebraska sportsmen In attendance upon
the shooting tournament to be held In Hot

sportsmen of national reputation will par-
tlclpato In It. All events are open to the
world , and , aa on added incentive to shoot

Ing will be at live birds. The main event
will bo a twenty-fivo live bird handicap ,

The snow storm last week headed off all
of the ducks and geese which were flying
toward the creeks of Nebraska , and the local
hunters who hail made arrangements to go
out the latter part of the week were dis
appointed. It la thought that the moder
ated -weather , which Is promised by the
weather man , will bring the ducks and gerso
Nobraskawnrd again nnd several parties will
engage In' short expeditions thl week.
The regular monthly meeting of the Win
chester Gun club will bo held Thursday

bership are to bo acted upon nnd a full
attendance of members Is especially desired.
Dick Kimball nnd Charles Curtis wont out
to Mercer In search of gecso the first of

Ing up any birds and the. storm which came
subsequently caused them to believe that
the birds had a premonition of the blizzard

OMAHA LOSES AT BASKET BALL

tory for Lincoln Train.
The basket ball team of the Young Men's
Christian association mot defeat at Lincoln
on February 3 by the score of 26 to 14. "The
unlvoralty boys won the game ou Its merits , "
remarked Physical Director names , as the.
Omaha delegation of fifty ilrow Into the
depot on the midnight special. "Wo were In
the game , however , to n noticeable extent ,
and have every Intention of retrieving our-
ticlvrs when the Lincoln team cornea to
Omaha on Washington's birthday. There are
sovcral reasons why the Omaha team did
not make n better chowlng , all of which wo
were awnro of , however , before wo entered
the game. The university armory where
the game took place Is much larger than
the local gymnasium nnd the Omaha men
were naturally at a disadvantage , being un
accustomed to tbo distances. The- nets and
baskets , also , were not of the regulation
size. The Hoer wn ns ( smooth as glass and
the Omaha men had considerable dllllculty in
keeping their footing. "
The tc-oin which reprtwntcd the Young
Men's Christian association waa as follows :
Monahan and McCarthy , guards ; LltKiulul
and Stlllcou , forwards ; Moore , center.
An interesting game took pluco In the
gymnasium last night between claes teams
and , the game Is hoUHng Its own as the
prevailing Indoor wlntfr spurt.
The second open Indoor athletic contest un
der the auspices of the Young .Men's Christian
aiioclfUlon and KaurtloniM by the Athletic
League o ( North America , will occur on
March 10. The meet will bo open to any
U-glstered amateur residing In Nebraska or
the city of Council UlulTs. A number of
University of Nebraska athletes have an
nounced their determination to enter.
The events will bo as follows : Twenty-
yard dash , two In each heat ; 12-pound shot
put ; standing broad jump ; running high
jump ; three standing broad jumps ; pole
vault ; hitch and kick ; fence vault ; quarter
mlle potato race.
The prizes will be silver cups for first and
second pluco in each event and a special sil
ver trophy for the contestant making high
est total bcoro , scoring tobe on the follow-
infi basis : Kivo points for first place ; four
points for second place ; three points for

CURLERS NEED INDOOR RINK

"Curling will never reach the popularity
wo hope for it , " remarked P. lj. Forgan , a
veteran curler , yesterday , "untilvo have
an Indoor ring lighted by electricity so that
players can Indulge in the sport without
leaving their business In the afternoon. Un-
tler proper surroundings It Is remarkable
what Interest Is taken In the game. For example -
ample , at the Canadian tournament about to
be held , 2,000 players will bo in attendance
and ? 30,000 distributed In prizes. The sport
has assumed a national character in that
province , where the natural advantages are
really no moro favorable than in Omaha.
"If .a regulation rink wore constructed the
players would be relieved of all annoyance
In the way of rough or cracked Ice. The
frost Is so much more intense In America
thnn In Scotland that the Ice Is often
cracked or warped , making It iinsatlsfac-
terry for curling purposes. On a manu
factured rink it is only necessary to have
, the Ice a quarter of an Inch In depth , and
It Is easy to flood the surface anew In case
It Is not smooth. The bottom o the Hooded
epaco Is usually of clay rolled and tamped
I until it Is perfectly hard and level. Several
j rinks are usually built In one Inclosure ' and
often there are galleries for spectators. The
place Is well heated and hot drinks are
often served In the Intervals.
"Of course , If we had an Indoor rink , "
concluded Mr. Korgan with a true Curler's
contempt for the cold , "we would have to
glvo up the pleasure of being In the open In
the midst of an Artistic landscape such as
we have at Hnnscom park. "
"For my part , " returned a less hardened
sportsman , "I could get along without the
landscape If a good hard coal burner was
on duty In Its place. "

The cable match for the Sir Gcorgo
Newncfl tiophy Is to take place In March.
The Brooklyn Chess club has the manage
ment of the contest and selects the players.
It Is not unlikely that the winning team of
last year will bo asked to do battle. The
college cable team match Is to take place
in April. Two players from Harvard , two
from Columbia and one each from Yale and
Princeton will mnko up the team. This Is
qulto right If the contest Is merely between
Cambridge and Oxford against Columbia ,
Harvard , Princeton nnd Ynlei. Philadelphia
players feel , however , that If the match Is be
tween English and American universities ,
then the University of Pentwylvanla ought
to ba represented , especially slnco 11. H.
Grlfllth Is the strongest college player In
the country and deserves table No. 1 on the
coming cable match. Grlfllth's homo Is In
Council Dluffs and ho Is well known In this
city.
