Four Omahans' and two Kansas City men shot twenty-four. It waa a blt Aer cold day with a biting wind, and this proved a great handicap to the shooters.

Kansas City's champion bowling team, the "Buffaloes," evened things up for the defeat of the shooters from that metropolis by rolling out a victory from the picked team of Omaha men at Clark's alleys last bight, the visitors winning by 112 pins. - A great crowd of men and women thronged the alleys to see this match. The scores were generally bad, and the totnls disappointing. Dcvpite this fact, the en thusiasm was Intense throughout the con test. Although the final scores were 2.694 for the visitors to 2,442 for the local men. the Omaha bowlers had at two different stages of the fame aood chances to win. and thjy were cheered to their beet efforts by thi-lr friends. But hearty support seemed un availing. The locals were oft their game and ofl Dff their luclc as well, and although the varying fortunea of the match rested with the Omahans at times, they alwaya ended by returning to the side of the "Buf faloes." At the close of the fourth frame of the first round of ten the Omahas were more than sixty pine In the lead, but In the next frame mishaps came in the shape of four splits, and from then on the Miasourlana gained till at the close of the round they were eighty-two pins ahead. Every Omaha player waa determined to poll this lead in the second round, and they started out to do it. Before seven frames were gone they had regained the eighty-two pins, but then the visitors re sponded to the strenuous admonitions of Captain Barse and ended up strong, so that the Omahana reduced the lead only forty-rour pins eventually vfth thirty-eight pine to make In order win, "King Denmanand his troupe amed away for the third round, but the W to team visitors bowled their game of the night right then, rolling 864 and ending the con test with a margin of 102 pins. Frsnk Makepeace was the star of the "Buffaloes." lie rolled the high score. 218, In the second round Latdlaw played In place of Makepeace, who returned to the game In the third round, against the protest of the Omahans, they asserting that the rule which forbids a man return ing to a game after being removed barred Makepeace. The visitors mulntalned that each round of ten frames was a game, so their man could start In on the third round gain, even though he had been taken out for the second. The Omahans snswered that when the total score for thirty framea wae being counted to determine, the vic tory these thirty framea constituted a game, and not ten. No specification aa to the number of framea which shall com- rrlse a game was found in the rules of he American Bowling congress, but Make peace played. Kansas City won by superior bowling all through. The atrangera were surer than the locals, and seldom missed spares, which the Omahans did repeatedly lediy. in y in rhlch they struck out at the ends of the CURES WEAKJH FREE Send Homo and Address Today You Can (lava it Freo.and Vigorous iziOURES LOVE AND HAPPY HOME -Sal L.

I0WAN DELIGHTS IMMENSE AUDIENCE With Hie Faataae Hasaraerloek Hold, Aided hy a Half-Selaoa, He Tlas the Cllaat at Call at Tlaa'e. With his famous hammerlock hold, aided by a half-Nelson, Farmer Burns last Dlght secured a fall from Mouradoulah, the Terrible Turk, at the Trocadero, before a crowd that packed the house to the eaves. The fall was a sensational one, coming Just at the end of the fifteen minute' time allotted, and the clamor was ear-spllttlng. The terms of the match were that if Burns stayed against Mouradoulah flfteea minutes be was to get $26, and if he threw the Turk $50 more was his. Burns was on the offensive from the start. His Immense opponent seemed rather lethargic at Initia tive work, and waited for the Farmer. Burns secured three hammerlock holds In succession, but all were broken by the Turk. Then the Farmer tried a double Nelson four times, but he could not reach far enough to make his handa meet behind the Turk's Immense neck. Finally Burns grasped the big man's brawny arm and shored it slowly but surely up his back, twisting as It went. This was the hammer lock that held. The Turk writhed and struggled, but vainly. Burns snapped In a half-Nelson under hla opponent's other arm and tipped him over Just as the timer shouted "Time.", SURPASSES -ITS OWN RECORDS Bostea Athletle Associativa Holds Most Raeeessfal ladoor Winter Meet. BOSTON. Feb. 8-The Boston Athletic association held Its winter Indoor sthlettc meeting at Mechanics' building tonight, ex ceeding all Us previous efforts In bringing together well known athletes. While every event waa keenly contested, no record was smashed, because the sprints by necessity were DroKen into in many heata and tne track was too crowded In the distance runa to permit any brilliant bursts of speed. tne number of men competing was nearly WO and winning cups were pretty well dla- inouiea. As usual, the team relay races were the most spectacular. An accident stopped the most promising of these, when Phelan or Princeton, In the race with Cornell, fell and sprained his ankle. f or two relays Cornell witn tne poie naa held a alight lead over Princeton. Rogers, for Cornell, had a good atart on the third relay, and Phelan started after him with a vengeance. On the aecond corner Phelan tripped and fell. Thla stooped the race. The Harvard-Pennsylvania university race was a disappointment, as the men with the crimson ran away from the Penn syivania men from tne start, or the other team races those between Dartmouth and Columbia, when the Hanover boys won, and the Amherst and Williams race were the beat. Columbia had a good team, but Dartmouth was able to gain one the last two races by the close finishes of her run ners. The Amherst-Williams race brought the Deoole to their feet, for at no time were the runners more than twenty feet apart and Thompson, for . Amherst, and O'Nell. for Williams, slmnly etacarered to the post at the finish, the latter not over nve leet in trie lead. Tne time was oniy three-fifths of a second slower than the record, made by Harvard laat year. The Harvard class team races were really a feature, because of local rivalry. The freshmen in the final heat gave the Juniors their first defeat this season. In the preparatory school relay Andover nad an easy thing witn Kxeter. Tne cniei sprint, the forty-yard special, brought to- ether three of the best men in the race, cheuber. of Harvard waa riven a hard tussle by Eaton of Amherst. Duffy of Georgetown was naturally looked to as the star, but he finished in the bunch, getting third place. He entered a protest or being louieti. out it waa not allowed The time made, four and three-flftha sec onds, was the present record. In the mite run there were so many com petltora that by the time three-fourth, of the distance was covered the tail-enders were lapped, so that It was hard to keep correct scores. The Judges first decided that Cook of Providence was the winner, but that It wae afterward shown that Cornell of Amherst, a scratch man. had finished first, almost in a walk. To him, therefore, the first place was awarded. Dick Orant. who also was a scratch man, got so hopelessly lost In the Held that he stopped running.
