The attention of the bowlers Is now on the handicap tournament which opened on the Association llrys Frldar night This big event cot away to a successful start duo to tho expert management of Dad Huntington. The opening night was devoted to the handicap teams, Saturday night to some of tbe stroB looal teams, tonight to the out-of-town teama and on Monday night more loeal teama will wind up the lg event. Doubles and singles are being rolled today and tomorrow. The big attraction of the tournament was the appearance of Mlsf Idrdie Kern the champion woman bowler. On Friday night she rolled a short exhibition series and last night eho appeared tn the reg ulsr lino up of the Burgeav-Naah team. Today she will be seen In the doubles and singles. Hot rolling last night easily proved that she deserved the title of champion woman bowler of the world. Lea sue Bowllasr Mediocre, The regular league bowling last week was of the In and out variety. A few teams and Individuals rolled high scores, but many foil below their usual average. The Kl i'axos made the best showta w h'M they trmashed this season Booster li-arim record with a S,OUO team total. The Sto- b1ho hung up a nice total In the Omaha league and the Frank's Candy Klila hit oyer the 2,M0 mark In the Com- merolul league. Cochran starred amontf the iiidivlduuls with a Wl total. The big hMiigo in tho standings of last week took place in the Oate City league, when the lx-ji-1.

Just Who's who in looal basket ball circles will be decided Thursday evening at the Young Men's Christian assocla tlon i when the undefeated Olarks and! Townsends of the) Trl-Clty league clash. That this will be the biggest local game of the season Is sanity seen as the victor of the melee will practk ally have the Trl Clty league championship cinched. Both fives are about equally matched aa to weight and xpertenos. So far each quintet has made the rounds of the Trl Clty league, having defeated every mem ber of that organisation. Fhyeleal Director Maxwell of the Young Men's Christian association will act as referee, and with him aa chief arbiter fans are assured that the game will be decided strictly on Its meAts. A rattling preliminary , between the Omaha High, school and the Council Bluffs Young Men's Christian association will be staged at T:3Q. while the mala svent will start at 9, sharp. As the teams of all the leagues have Incurred a num ber of small ex pollers fur the rent of the 1'nlvrrslly of Omaha gymnasium and pay for ofalclala. etc., It lias been duelled tt charge an admleslon of 23 cents for this game. As this will probably be the only charge game tn the Trl-Clty league, It Is expected that sn overwhelming turnout will be on band. o as to take care of a large crowd chairs and benches will be placed all about the edges oC ths gymnasium, thus assuring seats for wryone. . All Peacefal Aaala. Tor the first time this season things re running smoothly in the Commercial league. When this ' organisation had been launched but a few werks'the Ne braska Telephone flipper dropped out. followed In a fortnight by the Ftrst Na tional Bank. Both these vacancies have been recently filled by the Crelghton Laws and a quintet sailing under the cognonutn of the Clearing House. The addition of these teams has roads it pos sible to play out tbe regular schedule. The Church league is still running along, with tin First Christians topping the ladder. That toe Christians have a firm hold on their position Is Indicated by the overwhelming scores that they piled up against their opponents last week. Only one quintet In tbe league seems to bother the Christians to any extent and the leaders expect to lav thrm lo at their scheduled meet Saturday evening.

OMAHA ASKSJ916 WESTERN Country Club Has Already Put in a Bid for Tourney Lost for ThU Year. WILL HOLD STATE HERE NOW The Omaha Country club has' put in ap plication for the Western. Amateur Oolf tournament io ll. The1 Country club put In a bid for the 191S event, but lost to the MayftoM club ot Cleveland. So to get a good start on 1316 a bid was put In as soon as ths 191& was awarded to the Ohio club. . But right on tho heels ot the Omaha application, Glenn Kcho club of tt- Louis, wliith was also In the fluid for the 10JS tournament, axked for the 191C event as did a Los AnKcles club and Minneapolis asked for !17 ' The fiaht will simmer down te St. Louis and Omaha clubs as Los Angeles Is too fsr away. The Glenn Kcho club at the last moment withdrew Its bid for the 1915 affair and UsiiKferred Its votes to the Cleveland ciub with the understand ing that the Clevelandera boost for St. Louis for KlS. This was promised and ibe Ouiaba club la In for another hot fight However, M. C. Peters, president of tlut ciub, and W, J. e are un daunted and expect to run the Mlssout- rlans a close raca. Omaha lost Its chance to bring the Trane-Miaslaslppt here when It requested the Western. The time for entrances of bids has lapsed and the Omaha dub did not gut In. Thus the only tournament Omaha may hold In 1915 Is tbe state tournament, which was tentatively promised to the Lincoln Country club. Now, however, as Omaha loses out, the state wilt probably revsrt to Omaha, as Omaha Is the loading city In the state from the golfers' viewpoint and should at least have one tournament. Also Omaha golfers alone would make the aucceaa of a tte tourney and the Omaha men' are not disposed to spend a whole week tn Itncotn aa they wtH not have a tourney here. Lincolu will probably not ask for the event under the existing conditions. K.bbets Mws Twe. The rtrooklyn club ban releaaod Pitchera John Kniniiii aiid "Ulllinti XI.

BOXING BILL MEETS FAYOR Gene Melady Receivei Scores Letteri of Allegiance from ' Out in State. of ANOTHER MINISTER FOR IT Gene Melady, sponsor for tha pre posed bill to legalize boxing in. Nebraska un der commission rule, , Is becoming more and more optimistic every, day over the prospects for passages of 'the bill. Mr. Melady has received scores of let ters from prominent business rnen, pro fessional . men and even clergymen throyghut the state, congratulating him on his bill and declaring' their allegiance. Many have written that they have sent petitions to their representatives in . the legislature urging them to vote for tbe Melady declares that it will be a mis fortune to the state it the bill fails of passage. ' The purpose of Introduction, says Mr. Melady. Vis . to eliminate these barn fights, which have been promoted promiscuously . about tbe state . since prise fights' were 4oclared Illegal. A 'prize fight' Is not desirable In any com munity and these barn fights are tr, say the least disgusting. Boxing exhibitions are entirely different If a good reliable commission is appointed and the element of graft Is - in every way eliminated. Xone but accepted business men may promote fights under a commission and evcrythlnb must be cpen and. above board. Crooked fights, fakes and shell games to trim the public will not be countenanced."' ' ' ' ' .Minister Favors Bill. Mr. Melady has received a letter from Dr. Robert L. Wheeler of the First IPresbyterlan church of South Omaha,. In which Dr.t Wheeler gives a strong recom mendation for the bill. Dr. Wheeler also takes a neat rap at the persons who op pose t,he passage o( the bill., declaring their motive is merely .selfish and they do not, want, others to enjoy the, pleasure attending boxing exhibitions.. . , The letter is as follows. "Have hastily examiued your proposed bill to create a 'State Athletlo commis sion' for Nebraska, and the provisions Included noted. The purpose Is clear. In that this bill seeks to eliminate the law breakers, and undesirable . element qf our social life In these athletic contests, snd to place these exhibitions of physi cal prowess on sane, safe and scientific llnca. Borne of our pioneer fathers In iNew England forbade 'bear-baiting,' not because they sympathised with the bear, but because they did not like to see the crowd enjoy themselves. 8o some will oppose your bill for similar reasons. Your bill with IU legal provisions, rules and regulations and protection Of society from tbe undesirable, is commendable. "Very truly yours, , "ROBERT L. WHKELER, I). D."
