Entries In the olty championship bowl
ing tournament will come to av close at
midnight tomorrow. Present indications
confirm the previous estimate c the offi
oers of the Oreater Omaha Bowling as-
soolatloa that the entry list will be the
largest cf any otty tournament
The five-man event will open at Fran
cisco's allays on Monday night, January
I, and wtl eontinue until' all the teams
have bowled, tlx alley will be used for
this event one game to be shot on each
set of two alleys. The three games will
compel the bowlers to use all six alleys.
This Is the same system as wis used at
Dea aaotnes during the midwest tourna
ment and which proved very satisfactory
and this, together with the fact that the
handicap system will be employed, should
make the race a very interesting one.
The two-man event will be bo Wed at
the Brunswick alleys In Bouth Omaha and
will start at the same time as the five
man event. Four alleys will be used in
this event, but games will be shot both
day . and night. The Individual events
will be ahot at Keyt'a Metropolitan alleys.
The two alley of the Commercial league
will be used In this contest.
Ho kdmlaeion will be charged at any
of the alleys during ths tournament ao
that ths frlende of the conteetants can
gather In droves and root for their favor
ites. Martin's Tigers of South Omaha waa
the first team to enter. Captain Leplnski
having entered the entire team In all
the eventt. The Jettcrs et the same olty
have also been entered, and aa both
teams are considered very strong It might
poeslbly lie that the champlonahlp will
fall to one of the Magic City teams.
The plana for the entertainment and
ball to be given et the German Home
on Jauuary 4 have been completed and
a very good time Is promised to all thai
attend. The proceeda of the affair will
be added to the prise money . of the
tournararnt.
Perfeet Score la Made.
George Htrtits, the popular prraldent of
the Middle Weet Bowling association and
a member of the executive committee of
the A. H. C, lulled a perfect score of
300 on February 14 In en Individual tour
nament at Des Moines that had been
eanctloned by the A. H. C. and ft la be
lieved that this fine performance will
secure a gold medal when the congress
meets In Chicago, The last meeting of
the A. B. C. waa held in 8t. Ixur last
January and therefore thla remarkable
score ought lo be acknowledged at the
coming meeting. In the series of three
games hn shot the nice total of TM, get

and then followed with a Vi and flnlahed
with I", making a total of 7K0 for the

Big Bowling Entry
For Chicago Meet
CHICAGO,. III., Dec.S0.-Illlnols has set
Itself the task of furnishing as many
entries to the twelfth annual tournament
of the Chicago Bowling congress, which
starts In thla city on March 2. as the
total of 8t. Louis' record meet of a year
ago, the Chicago promoter getting Into
communication laat week with the other
cities of the state and receiving enough
promises from them to make it look
more than probable that thla state will
have at least 414 team.
With an enormous entry list from one
state alone of that site the 'bowler of
the country are sure of a terrific prise
list, late estimates on the amount of
cash to be distributed ranging all the
way from $30,000 to t&OOOO. The national
officials like Secretary Langtry and Presi
dent Bryson have already conceded that
Chicago' will have over 600 rlubs unless
unforseen condition arise while the Chi
cago men who are on the national board
are . still betting on over 6u0.
Late reports indicate that several coast
teams are coming from California and
Washington for the big meet while an
Inquiry from Fort Morgan, Ala., reached
Secretary Will Flynn last week asking
how a club composed of United Ktates
soldiers belonging t that fort could enter
the tournament. Representation- from
points over 1.000 miles away will be heav
ier this year than ever before, at least
a dosen clubs having already signified
their Intention of traveling that distance
for the big meet.

PROMOTERS WANT SANCTIONS
Fewer But Bigger Events Seem to
Be the Plan.
MANY TO HANG BIG PURSES
ladlaaapolla Expects to Have Fifty
Thousand Dollars as the Prise
for the Memorial Day Race
at that Place.
XKW YORK. . lo. 30. Promoters of
race meets the country over are filing
their 1912 plana end request for sanctions
at the American Automobile association
contest headquarter. Although It is
too early to obtain a complete Idea of
what next year's speed calendar will
offer, the tendency appears to be toward
fewer but bigger meets. There will be
fewer mile track events and hill climbs,
but the speedway and road contests will
be mado mere important and richer In
prlso money.
For example, Santa Monica will be
made a 325,000 race. It will be held on
May 4 or 11, over the exceftent cou.-e at
that place. The world's road racing rec
ord of 74. ( miles an hour for S02 miles was
made by Ilerrlck In a National at Santa
Monica last autumn. Even these figures
are expected to fall, however, before the
attack of the big cars and driver trat
race worth 323,000 will attract next May.
The eight-mile course at Santa Monica
permits great speed. It Is practically a
boulevard, wide enough for three ma
chines to race abreast and rounding
through the couhtry with only one sharp
turn.
Then there will be the Elgin National
on a larger scale than ever before at
tempted and the grand prize and Vander
bllt, although where, none can tell. That
Indianapolis had doubled its prize money,
making It 150,000 for the C00-mll,e race
there next Memorial day, Is not now; but
now come word that the Lo Angales
Motordrome will put on a big contest at
the time when the, fast cars are at Santa
Monica.
The only Important contest In doubt la
the Fairmont Park event. Strong opposi
tion ha been developed against it in
Philadelphia by Dr. J. William White of
the park commission. His points are:
"The event Is dangerous to the lives
of both the participants and the spec
tators.
"It has served no good purpose.
"It has aroused a feeling of blood lust
in the hearts of spectators.
"It is calculated to arouse ill-balanced
persons to emulate the speed king by
driving their car over traveled roads at
a dangerous rate.
Only the most remarkable good fortune
has so fsr prevented tragedies in the park
which would do great harm to the city."
It I on record that the park commis
sion first granted permission for automo
bile racing In the "people's playground"
because they recommended In their re
port "that with proper safeguards thrown
around the course and In view of tha fact
that It would afford a great deal of pleas
ure to many thousands of people the ap
plication should be granted." Those who
have watched the growing Interest In
the race know how well the people have
availed themselves of the opportunity.
The event may be vlew"ed without cost
of admission and in the last four years
It has given to charity alone 117,218.
In 190?, the second season for the race
and the first year that charity shared
In the proceeds, 37,617 was given over to
the treasuries of four of the city's char
ity and philanthropic enterprise (he
Rush hospital. White Haven sanatorium.
Children's Aid society and the Pennsyl
vania Society for the Prevention of
Tuberculosis. The following year the SRine
number of institutions equally shared in
the profits, which amounted to 3.62T.
This sum went to Kt. Mary's hospital,
the Home for Crippled Children, Mount

fund. While the profits were not so great
last year, tbe number of persons who
were amused by the race was as large as
in former years. The sum of 3.1.036.0 was
turned over to tbe park guards and po

FEW NEW HARNESS RECORDS
This is Especially Noticeable'in the'
Trotting: Kviiion.
PACING RECORDS ARE LQWERED
Some Attrlbate Poor hft-wlaar In

soa and Heavy Footing that '
Existed Over Country.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-One of the moot
notable peculiarities of harness racing
during the last season waa the compara
tively fow world's reoords that were re
duced, over either mile or half-mile
tracks, especially In the trotting division.'
This peculiarity becomes more notice
able when It Is oonsldered that as the re
sult of harness racing In 11 the miirlbev v
of new 3:10, trotters and pacer wag the
largest on record for a single season,
while the twenty-five pacera and sixteen
trotters that had former mark In ,2:M
or better and reduced them, made sensa
tionally fast timo.
The complete return bf the season
show that no les than fifty-one trottern
and ninety-nine pacers entered the now
2:10 list, while twenty-five pacer nnd
sixteen trotters reduced their forme:
marks, yet In the trotting division only-
eight new world' records were made and
four amilla.ii TThlnn crs.at1na rAt frr K
six of them, mostly over a half-mile track,'
In the pacing division ten world's rec- '
ord were lowered and . two equalled,
which Is really a very " poor showing.
Judged by the performancea and fast
times In many notable pacing events of
the season. . '
During tho racing season of 1910" no less
than twenty-six pew ' world' records
were made enjr tWfc .equalled -in the trot,
ting division, while pater's vere credited
with only five new marks. Some' aiavfe
attributed the poor showing of 1811 In thla
respect to the continued rainy season and
heavy footing, and this claim is true, for
such champions as Uhlan and The IUr
vester, repeatedly failed to keep thelr en
gagements because ' of unfavorable' ,
weather and track conditions,, when both '
were ripe and . ready for the task before
them. -

duced the world's record for a five-

Billy Burke winning the .first and Hail
worthy the second heats.
The former world' record for a eirhll&r '
event was made by - Sweet Marie and ,
Tiverton Jn their sensational contest for
the Transylvania race of. 1904, the latter
winning first and aecoAd heats in 2M
and 2.044, and the former the race In the
remaining three heats in 2:06, 2:08V4:and
2:09, or a total of 32 second -for' the'
five heats, against the new total bf'SO'tf
seconds.
Next to Uhlan. Billy Burke, ' 2:03!,i.
owned by J. Howard Ford figured
most prominently In championship rec
ords. Hla record taken tn - a racer
as stated, Is second , only to The Har-'
vester mile In 2:02 at Fort Erie, as the :
fastest heat ever trotted by a stallion in
a race, equalling that of Cresceus, but '
technically Is not a world' record, al
though The Harvester trotted that mll-i
all by himself with distance waived. i
Billy Burke won the world's fastest'-'
throe-heat, divided heat race,' in his con
test against Spanish Queen. Tha latter i
won the first heat in S:044, and Billy
Burke the second and tmrd in 2:0414 and
2:04, reducing last year' record of ,
Country Jay and Sonoma Girl for a slmi-7
lor event in 2:0414, 2:0C and 2:05,i. The 7
only other world's record over a mile
track was that of Lewis Forest, whos
record of 2:06Si equalled that of Highball
In 1907, aa the fastest new performer, that
I, a horse that started without a standard
mark and trotted at that clip.
Half-mile tracks, however, furnished
more than their share, yet only partially
redeemed the lack of big tracks. At
Goshen Willy trotted a mile In a trip
against time In J:074. beating Cresceus'
luvt eeaviril of 2:OX. While the S-Vear-nhl '
Floy Hello reduced Al Stanley's record
from 2:20 to 2:lSi.
Joe Bowers, owned by John L. Dodge,
former president of the New York Road
Drivers' association, won the fastest first
heat ever trotted over a half-mile track
In 2:u0 , the former mark being 2:10, madu
by Sweet Marie. He aleo won the fastest
three-luat race ever trotted by a stallion.
