CITY TOURNAMENT BECLNS

MAYOR O0CKS DOWN PUTS
Mets Brothers anal Uleadalee Picked
aa Final Contestants for Honors
Little Individual
Work.
Before the largest and most enthusiastic
crowd ever seen at a similar event In
Omaha, the city bowling tournament was
started at the Metropolitan alleys Monday
night.
The alleys had Just been shellaced and
were In a cond.tlon similar to those used
In natlorral tournaments. This with new
pins had the tendency to rattle the bowlers.
The outbursts of the many rooters also had
Its effect.
Mayor Dahlman was called upon to roll
the first ball and after a very appropriate
speech his effort to get all the ten pins
was awarded by getting but one. However,
that happened to be the ten pin and the
result sought after was accomplished.
Coateatanta Rattled.
The first contestants were the Omahas
and the Omaha Bicycle company. Hard
luck coupled with poor bowling kept the
two teams from securing their usual aver
ages. The Bikes, however, struck their
usual stride in the last game and finished
with a fine score of 972.
Eucell was the only bowler In the first
game to go through without a break.
The Stcn Triumphs and Loch"s Willow
Springs composed the second squad. Both
teams bowled considerably better than the
first two. The Triumphs, present city
champions went Into first place, four pins
ahead of the Loch's. Zimmerman was
high, with 5SS, a good score, new pins and
alleys considered. Seaman was running
close with 5S7.
Leaders to Meet.
The Mett Bros, leaders of the .Omaha
league will be pitted against the hustling
Glendales of the Commercial league. It la
the Impression of most of the bowlers that
one or the other of these teams will re
cure first place In 'the tournament.
The Molonys will play the Beselln Mixers.
These dark horses may surprise the wise
ones.
The personnel ot the four teams will be
as follows:
Meta Bros. Meale. Hartley, Denman,
Blakeney, Huntington.
Klauck'a Glendales Lehman. Kla-jck.
Godenuchwager, Stapcnhorst, Camp.
Molony's J. A. Lyons, Kerr, Toman,
Glover, Weeks.
Beselln Mixers Bowers, Beselin, Schnei
der, Patterson, Lahecka.
Doable and Singles.
Very few of the doubles and singles were
bowled at Francisco's last night This Is
due to the rule that compels all entries
bowling In the five-men event to roll thU
game first.
Scores of games boa-led were not very
high. Doubles:

tion In revision of the rules of play.

have, found support among numbers of the
college representatives.
They were submitted to the convention
today. They Include the elimination of
neutral sone, modification of the forward
pass, limiting the number of men In the

sions open to the public was one of the

canvass taken by the executive committee
of the Intercollegiate association. In this
canvass fifty Institutions favored retention
of the rules of the American game, with
such changes aa would eliminate mass or
other plays -of unusual danger to life or

Ia the event that the forward pass Is re
tained, remove sll restrictions, allowing
passes over the line and allowing any
player to recover the ball after It has
been touched and fumbled.
.Arrange one minute rests at the end of

KUAO IS NOT

Owner Denies tkat It Haa Been Ac
quired by Rock Island.
DENVER, Colo., Dec. 28. D. H. Moffat,
president of the Denver North weslorn dt
Pacific railroad, known as the "Moffat
road," this afternoon emphatically denied
a story published In a local paper to the
effect that the Rock Island system had
acquired control ot the Moffat road.
The report -was based on an assertion
that the stock of the James Peak tunnel
project had been withdrawn. This wss a
$6,000,000 corporation, the object of which
was to drive a bore through James Peak,
thus reducing materially the heavy gradss
on the east end ot the Moffat road.
"There'snot a word of truth In it," aald
Mr. Moffat to the Associated Press. "The
Moffat road Is not sold and It Is not going
ta be sold. There never was but $2,600
worth of stock of the James Peak tunnei
project issued, anyway, and that Is In
the safe of ths Moffat road. It's going lo
stay there. No one from the Rock Island
systom has ever seen about the possible
sale of the road, and I do not expect any
one to see roe."

aged about 70, and wealthy, were found

ception of s llgfet undergarment,' had been
torn from her and there were marks on
her neck that Indicated that aha had been
strangled. Furniture wss scattered about
the room and the drawers of the dresser
were rifled with their contents strewn ovsr
the floor.
Ritter s body was found In a milk house
It was in a stooping position ss if Ritter
had been 111 when he died. It Is believed
that the crime waa committed Friday night
as there were no foot prints in the snow
about tho Ritter home.
The Rltters, who were quits wealthy,
were said to have kept considerable money
In their house. 1 '
While the officers have advanced . tho
theory that the Rltters were- murdered,
there is some evidence to show that Rit
ter choked his wife to death and then took
poison to end his own life. If the couplat
ever quarreled It Is not known. Tint
theory that Ritter killed his wife and then
took poison Is supported by ths fact that
Ritter was sick befors he died.
