10 THE OMAHA DAPLY B EE:'wfSTryT) AT, MAnOH 3, 1001. STRUGGLE FOR THE HONORS Ctmpitltlon for Supremacy in Oity Bowling Liague is Spirited. CLARKSONS CERTAIN TO WIN THE TROPHY Not nnmiuli Cinmri Yrt in Ilr Plnyril to DIkIoiIkt I'rcKOil I.enilorn Ilvm If Thrj- .Should Tnlst fi Slump llncc for Otlior I'ohKIoii. Even thouch tho Clarksons have n cast I Iron cinch on winning thu honors In tho raco of tho Omnha Howling league there Is no nbatcmcnt of Intercut as tho season draws near a close. The other teams nre making a lively struggle for coveted places bclowtjho top-notchcrs nnd It Is the ambi tion of each one that Is yet to meet tho tronhy-wlnnlnc team beforo tho season closes to win a victory. This nlono will be (Joy enough for tho members of tho team 4that should happen to bo fortunate enough to attain tho coveted honor. Threo weeks yet remain of tho season's schedule. Kach team In tho leaguo will fplay that number of games nnd when tho fflnalo comes tho total number played by teach will bo 3C. Tho teams that nro to i meet tho Clarksons nro tho Krug I'nrks, thu Nationals and tho Umahas. Tho gamo bo- tween the Clarksons and the Omnhas which will start off tho last week of tho roco Is tho one In which particular Interest centers. Uoth teams nro mado up of players from Clark's nllcys and tho rivalry between them has been most pronounced from the start. Tho Omahas' record Itsolf Is by no means a ipoor one, their present position In second place promising to bo maintained to tho end. Jt Is by no means beyond tho palo of pobsI Mllty that tho Omahas tako tho three games that they play with tho Clarksons. Ths members of tho former team aro putting In n wholo lot of practice with that end In view nnd tho outcomo of tho rnco will bo looked forwnrd to with great Interest. Up to this tlmo tho record of tho Clark, sons Is a most envlahlo one. In tho thirty three games played only three havo been lost and they were early In tho season bo foro Captain Clarkson's brigade was In "uhlp-shapo condition. With tho Clnrk,sona nnd Omahas llrmly anchored In first and second places tho raco for third placo be tween tho Sterlings nnd tho Gato Cltys Is commanding the greatest amount of atten tion. Just now tho Sterlings Mro In thnt berth, but what tho games of tho next threo weeks will bring forth Is altogether ques. tlonnble. Doth tho Sterlings nnd tho Gnto, Cltys aro scheduled to meet tho StvCharles nnd Nntlonals. Hut tho StorllugB havo nlso n gamo scheduled with tho Omahas, while tho samo week the (lato Cltys will meet tho Krug PnrkB. Proceeding on tho theory that tho Sterlings and Onto Cltys havo an equal chanco with tho teams they nro to meet In common, It Is nn tindobatnblo proposition that In tho Omahas tho Sterlings will havo n harder proposition by far than tho Oatc Cltys will meet in tho Krug I'nrks. I'or theso reasons tho rnco between theso two for third placo Is decidedly Interesting nnd tho supremacy of tho ono over tho other will probably bo In doubt until the closing jilght of tho race, when tho gamo botween Jtho Sterlings nnd Nationals takes place. Thoro will bo moro than glory for tho team that stands at tho head of tho leaguo Avhon tho scaFon Is over. A beautiful trophy, representing In solid silver a ton pin of exact slzo aa tho regulation pin nnd net upon n bnso of darker metal, will go to tho winning team, which will bo tho Clark sons. Tho trophy Is valued nt J17G And tho Monor will bo tho Ilrunswlck & Rnlkc-Col-iSender company. To becomo the pcrmnnont property of any team tho trophy must be flWoa threo successlvo yearH.

Tho Implement dcnlcrs of Omaha roport a trade better than over beforo In tho history of the city. It was thought a year ugo that high-water mark had been reached for several years at least, but tho present season promises to exceed last year. Com plaints nro being made over the Inability of rnllroads to supply cars ns desired. According to tho statements of persons connected with tho Implement trade In this city nnd Council HlulTs, thcro nro nearly 100 cars of goods ready for ship ment which nro being held In tho ware houses because cars cannot bo secured. Another thing which tends to retard business is the fact that tho Increased de mand for farm machinery is not limited to tho Omaha territory, but Is general throughout tho United States, and tho fac tories of tho local houses cannot produce the goods ns fnst ns they nro sold. Prices this season show little chango from a year ago, nnd tho retail dealer has no reason to expert nny rhnngo beforo tho goods purchased nt this tlmo are disposed of. For theso reasons they aro buying liberally, and on account of tho easy condi tion of tho money market bills aro belnc discounted to a greater extent than over before. A condition existed last yenr In certain parts of western Nebraska and In South Dakota which was expected to rcduco tho sales In the Omaha territory this spring. Tho practical failure, of tho crops left tho farmer In a position where he could not buy and local dealers found their houses filled this spring. Tho trado Is therefore comparatively light In these sections, but the orders from the other sections nro heavier than was expected. Iowa Is buy ing moro agricultural implements from Omaha and Council Bluffs this season than over beforo nnd Omaha territory has been extended well toward tho center of tho state. Tho local wholesalers have, nlso reached Into now territory in Kansas, whllo tho Wyoming trade Is growing rapidly. ENERAL LEE'S COMMISSION Docnineut Hns Arrived, but Olil War rior Will Continue In Co in in a ml. General Fitzhugh Lee has received his commission as brigadier general of regulars, bearing date of February 11, but this will havo no Immcdiato effect upon his relations to tho War department. It Is probable that ho will continue as commander of the De partment of tho Missouri, serving under tho volunteer organization, until Juno 30, when, according to act of cotgress, tho entire volunteer establishment terminates. Tho general snys that, so far as ho knows, this Is tho program ho Is expected to follow. There nro several other generals In sub stantially the samo position as General Leo, nmong them General Shatter, now In command of tho Department of California. Tho lawyers' nlnopln tenm Is another ambitious organization. With a Napoleonic fervor they aro seeking now fields to con quer and havo authorized tho sporting editor of Tho Deo to Issue a challcngo to any other nlnepln team In tho city to a contest of three games. Tbo only stipulation tho lllackstonlnns make is that tho games be rolled on Clark's nlleys, and ns to time and terms thoy will bo agreeable to almost any thing. King Denmon, ono of Omaha's best known athletes and a patron of all sports that tond to mental and bodily Improvement, Is forging to tho front as one of the crack bowlers of tho city. Ills delivery Is con sldorcd by far the cleanest, neatest and most grnceful of any Omaha bowler. Ho Is a fine sparo bowler, too, and Is ono of the most cnpable men on tho Clarkson team. Charlie Harp Is another bowler who ranks high among tho proflclont tcnpln enthusiasts, It 1b doubtful If any ono would tako ex ception to tbo statomcnt that Znrp Is the best tenpln bowler In Omaha. Ills average In the leaguo Is higher than that of aay other player. Fred Flanagan still bears the distinction of having mado tbo highest score at ten pins of any bowler In Omaha. On tho board down nt Clark's Flanagan's record of 267 stands forth llko a beacon beckoning other ambitious plnyers on to their best efforts. Sevoral times the record has missed being passed by a moro scratch, and bowling experts express the opinion that nny day may bring forth n player who will wrest Flanagan's coveted honor away from him. Fred never drops Into Clark's alleys for a little exercise with the bowls but that he casts n sly glance up nt the board to see If his nnrao still heads the list. Joo Guttrann's famous Green Hlvors will try conclusions with tho Pnxton & Gal laghers nt Clark's nlleys this afternoon. These tenms nro about equally matched and a rattling good contest Is promised. Frank Conrad will hereafter have a ten pln ball exclusively his own. He gained possession of it by winning the monthly prize at Clark's for the best score at ten pins. Ills scoro was 2C0. J. G. Kaiser, a well known packing house salesman who makes Omnha his head quarters, Ib a most enthusiastic bowler and now stands nt the head of tho list of ten pln bowlers nt Lentz & AVUIllains'.
