Janitors May Not
Keep the Pin Money
(From a Staff Correspondent)
XJNCOLN, Nov. r.-(8pedal.)-Plty
tha poor Janitor of the state house for
there will be no turkey on his table
on Thanksgiving day. notwithstanding
Governor Morehead has Issued orders
that all men ahauld rejoice and be happy.
It la all caused by the fact that "the
best laid plans of mice and men gang
aft nrlee." or something like that. It
has always been tha custom to allow
the Janitors to accumulate a little p'.n
money by . selling the waste paper and
other truck which accumulates about the
state house to the Junk dealer. It did
not amount to very much, but It kept
the Janitors In good natture and they
were continually looking In the dark
places for Junk. This week they were
told to clean out the old atorabe vault
containing the ancient history of bygone
legislatures and cart It to the outside
for the Junk man. With visions of tur
key for Thanksgiving they worked like
slaves only to be told by Secretary of
Stats Walt, when the Job was completed,
that the proceeds would be placed in
the coffers of the state.

LOW SG0RESM THE ALLEYS
Oibsons Manage to Fall Up a Notch
and Break Their Own Record.
CLOSE EA0ES IN SMALL LEAGUES
Meeting of the Greater Omaha
BoTfllng Association Falls to
Came Up to Expectations
of Interested Ones.
The local tannin rollers Alrin't tha
world on fire last week with any large
amount of classy scores, atlhough the
Mickey Gibsons in the Gate City league
broke their league record In team totals
with 2.7M. Among the Individuals Wart
chow outclassed them all by putting to
gether thraa irnmaa that totaled TOO.
Aside from these scores nothing, startling
waa willed off, the average run of bowl
era being clear down In the 400 column.
Instead of a high score being the talk
of the alleys last week the real Mr con
flab started when Ted Nealo rolled that
43G total. Neale Is considered by many to
be Omaha'a best bowler and a beginner's
total rolled by him would naturally cause
the gossip brigade to get busy.
No changes In the leadership ot the
leagues took place. The Luxus still had
a good lead In the Omaha teague, while
the Clara Belles rained a In their
lead of the Booster league. The Brode-
gaard Crowns etlll retain their place at
the head of the Commercial leatrue. In
the Metropolitan and Gate Cltv lemma
the same old story. The Pete Loch Juniors
lead on Keyt's alleys, while the Storz
Triumphs are still at the lead where they
have been all season.
The South Omaha rollers ara having a
close race. Tho South Omaha Ice com.
pany, Martln'a Tigers and the White Sox
are all tied for first place, with the Jet
ter's Old Age team coming strong right
behind.
Most of the smaller teamen ra having
close races, the KnlRhts of Columbus and
Standard Oil leagues being the only ex-
cepttons. The Brownlng-KIng crowd are

Meeting: a Pintle,
The meeting of the Greater Omaha
Bowling association scheduled for last
week waa a hopeless failure. Although
quite a number showed up the enthusi
asm was at a low obb and the meeting
adjourned with no date set for another.
It Is -to be regretted that a booster or
ganization of aome kind cannot or has
not been formed. The former associations
were successful In all tholr tournaments,
business dealing and social affairs and
did much towards the uplift of tha game
here. The only reason for the. lack of
organizations seems to be due to the
lack of enthusiasm caused by too much
Individuality among the leagues.
There Is now a plan on foot for a oom
mlttco to be organized from tho members
of all the leagues for tha tnimom nf nf.
ganlzlng and holding the city tournament
in addition to this the committee may
be prevailed upon to get up the annual
social affair, the bowlers banquet and
ball. Nothing will be done along these
lines until after the excitement of the
Midwest tournament has subsided.
Talk around the alleys has been shifted
to the big event In St. t.mI whih
on Thanksgiving day. While tha nUtntva.
of teams entered does not come up to
expectations, the list of entries far ex
ceeda those of previous tournaments.
This Is caused by the large number or
teams entered by the St. T-nnl
The number of visiting teama docs not
exceed those of former years on account
of the greater traveling distance.
On account of tho large prize fund
Omaha'a small army of rollers ought to
carry off a neat sum. The best In town
