Game aa par achedule.
Every league In the city haa now atarted
upon the laat round of Ita achedule, which
mean that the cloning period will be
hard fought and exciting one, due to cloao
races In the moat of them. In the flva men
leagues, the Commercial, Omaha, Packers
and Booatera the leaders are yet In doubt,
but a very few points separating the flrit
four teams.
In the Omaha League the race between
ths mors Triumphs and the. Mets Brother
Is bound to be oloae. The Stots team Is
now leading by a amall margin and one
that can be overcome Very. easily by the
Mets, who nave won three years In suc
cession. The Cross team for awhile looked
Ilk possible winners, but on account of
sickness some of the members will be un
able to bowl regularly. The McCord
Brady Advos started too late to be con
sidered at possible winners; that they tvlll
Jt make trouble for the leaders there I
no doubt. Postponed and disputed games
In tbls league will have much to do with
determining the winner.
In the Commercial League It looks like
th Omaha Bioycle Indians wtll win helr
third pennant, with the Pete Locha and
Lux us teams fighting for the places. Thi
lead of the Bikes will be hard to over
come considering ths good scores they have
shot or late.
In the Booster League It looks vsry much
Ilk the Omaha Bedding Company would
win Its first pennaot, having a good strong
lead and the season will close after two
more weeks of bowling. The Tousem Colts
win bave to be contented with second place
and the Ruffner Tailoring Company with
third. .
Yea f Remarkable Be-wlla.
The season of 1H0-U was the greatest In
the history of bowling aince the present
gam. was first Introduced In the city, the
gam baring crown to wqnderful propor
tions during the year, nine organised
league having been In operation In Omaha
and South Omaha during the greater part,
and no doubt exists as to the renewal of
all for the next season.
The personnel of many of tha older team
will be changed owing to th Introduction
of many younger bowlers who have shown
exceptional ability to shoot consistent and
high games. In fact more good material
wa found during this season than ever be
fore. The Metropolitan, Mercantile and
rnirai Prague nave aeveloped many
good men who will be used in the team of
league higher up
A la uaual at thl Unit of th year w
hear the aame old arguments of for and
against the adoption of th open-door by
tha two big league, that la to allow mem
ber of th Omaha and Commercial leagues
to shoot In both leagues If desired. This
nas oen going on for years and some of
th bowlers of both leagues are under the
impression that something will surely be
don next season to bring this arrange
. ment about.
Ttffd Arbitration Buard.
At the banquet given by the combined
bowling leagues of the city laat spring it
was suggested by on of the speakers that
a boart composed of the presidents of the
various league be organlaed and to be
known aa th arbitration board, this board
to bav th authority to settle all dlffr
eooea of every league and their declalon
t bo final in all caat. At treat two
league la th city have had aerloua trouble
In thalr rank during th season. One
league referred Jt matters to the secre
tary of tU American Uowlng con r ess,
who la turn referred th inatter right back
Where It belongs, to the laagu Itself.
What a simple and easy matter It would
bav been for the board. bad It been or
ganlaed. to bav tattled the matter. As
residents of th city thry would have been
acquainted with all the facts and their de
cision would undoubtedly ben fair and

Tom Brink Is called th Old Reliable of
the Packers, taken after the original Ben
Hull, who haa been known by this name
for years.
The Packers' league will hold a banquet
at the close of the aeason. Big league style
already. Some class to those South Omaha
magnates.
nig Hill Vohs haa lost the ginger of days
of long ago. It don't aeem like the same
old fellow at all, what a terror he was a
few yeara.
Hook Mo ran has developed Into a real
anchor man. It would put Dad Huntinar
ton to shame the way hs puis the finish
on things.
Netty Sutton hsd the old boy working
fine last week, if the team could have shot
anything like a real game he would have
been a star. .
Somebody stole Paul Chadd's favorite
goat. A liberal reward ia offered for Ita
return, providing It Is brought back before
the season ends.
Hard Luck Bill Humpert haa gone to his
hole and waiting upon the ground hog to
reappear. Hla sight haa promised to com
back, at that time.
Phil Walens Is a regular Jumping Jock,
a big game, then a bum one. Phil Is an
other bowler that looks back at the days
of when he was.
Th Luxus teem shot a nice total last
week, beating the Loch two games; this
makes up in part for the bad showing they
made In th Twin City.
Charley Hoot Is having a tough tint
keeping the splits away. He rarely haa a
(fume with less than two or three, and
sometimes even worn. .
Ben Hull and Myron Stun rolled off to
settle the tie for high single game in the
tournament, Hull winning th place; they
shot 267 games for high.
Kid Bowers shot himself to pieces In
getting that big six hundred total agalnat

Some pretty good looking youngsters
among that bunch of Creacent leaguers,
they wtll bear watching, a few big league
icout have looked them over already.
Frltscher Is one of the hardest working
bowlers seen upon the alleys, always
working to win, picking up his spares, and
never gives up until the lust man Is down.
Zimmerman of tha Advo team la one of
tha MenSHlional shooters of the Omaha
league; when he gets going there Is no way
to atop linn. Twice this aeason he haa had
league seriea better than lk0 in each.
Bill Keyt la coming buck with a rush;
when he gets that hook under control Its
hard telling how high he will go. He was
surely a terror In seasons not long past.
Th Akaarbtins have been arrcatly
strengthened. Stockwell, Bowers and Wart-
Scnow are a hard trio to win trom. A com
bination like this from the start and things
might have been different in the Mercan
tile. ins Alois Juniors have taken the place
of the Q. M. D. team and start out with a
pretty strong team; In Mwauson they have
one of the coining bowler of the city,
luid Jones la a good one, too.
Herb Uarlow has a new system of shoot

Hammand la one of the bet bowlers In

however, Ted Neale ih just one of the

The Kqtiltablo 1-lf bunch have the iin

George Emerson, the doughty leader of
the Burlington lied bocks, has left the
city, and up to date nobody haa picked
up the relna. They will appoint a manager
soon. They made an excellent record last

Chester Weekes of the Happy Hollow
club has dropped hla managerial garb; and
Alex Reed Is hi successor. Mr. Reed Is
a lover of th national pastime and in his
younger days was a star performer. He
knows the gam well; Is a heady general,
and an he has a splendid bunch to select
from he expects little difficulty In whip

when Lewis, hla crack alabster, gave him
the busy signal. His place will be hard
to fill as he la unquestionably one of the
best heavers and hardest hitter In local
amateur rank.
Ray Young, who for the laat two years
haa been a member of the salaried army,
says It Is his firm Intention to linger
around Omaha thl season. Ray has a
good position which he Is Indisposed to
give up In order to play base ball.
Laat season Den Whitney played; his
farewell engagement with th Benson
Eagles. Dan was In th limelight for many
year and he say he wanta to give th
youngsters a chance.
Hlllard Morearty la now a free agent- He
signed a document with Auburn, Neb., of

unknown reason, they failed to send him a

This truck hauled 5 tons 60 miles every week-day for
one year. It cost in that time less than $12 for repairs.
HAT you want to know about a truck is, what will
it do ? We take it, you don't care anything about
its mechanical features as long as you know it is built
right and will last. What will it do? That is what counts
in dollars and cents against all the theories in the world.

Well, Take This Record-
A Sampson five-ton truck, was installed one
year ago last March by the A. C. Lawrence
Leather Co., Boston, Mass.
It haa run every week-day in that time,
without a single day's loss.
This aggregates 312 days in a year.
It has traveled many days, as much as 80 .
miles in a single day.
It has averaged 60 miles every day.
This totals 18,720 miles.
The engine has never stopped in all that
time, except when stopped by its driver
willingly.
The total repairs, including time charges,
have been less than $12.
Match This With a Team
Compare this with the record of any team
you may operate.
Nor is this exceptional for Sampson trucks.
Every Sampson truck has given perfectly
satisfactory service.
No Sampson truck has ever been returned
to the factory'
No Sampson truck has ever cost more
than $30 in repairs.
None has reached or approached the limit
of its service.
The oldest Sampson truck has been in
service for four years and has years of further
service before it.
There Must Be a Reason
This is not due to chance. It is due to the
method pursued in building the Sampson.
Before any Sampson truck was designed
Alden Sampson made a complete study of trans
portation methods and commercial conditions.
. He was a transportation engineer and
specialist.
He studied every truck made in America
and abroad.
After building four trucks, he tried them
out in actual inter-city service between Lynn,
Mass., and Boston for 9 months at his own
expense.
He hired ordinary teamsters to drive them
and had disinterested men to operate the
company, so as to apply in trucks to actual
commercial conditions.
He Proved Them Himself
When they were offered to the pablie four
years ago, he knew they were up to the work
required of them.
Every Sampson truck built has been
built to suit actual commercial conditions, to
fit the sort of work it was designed to do.
Every truck has been built with the same
painstaking thoroughness to see that no error
crept in, either .in design, in materials or in
workmanship.
You can't buy a Sampson truck if It won't
do your work if we believe it would be
unprofitable for you.
The Name Stands for This
Every one who knows trucks, knows tha
value of the Sampson name.
The Alden Sampson Manufacturing Com
pany intends to protect it.
The United States Motor Company, with
its vast resources, is behind it and guarantees
its stability.
Our large service organization, branches
in 34 leading cities and dealers everywhere,
insures it.
You want that sort of protection when you
consider so great an investment, don't you ?
Investigate this record. One New England
manufacturer, whose name is known nation
ally, did investigate it.
He spent $7000 and three yearf time
studying trucks in factories and in service.
He chose the Sampson.
So will you eventually.
