BOWLERS RETURN
TO OLD ROUTINE
Wi hthe Middle Wet Tournament
a Memory, Local Pin Tumblert
Start LeagTie Schedolei.
TOURNEY WAS BIO SUCCESS
With th midwest tournament off their
minds. Omaha bowlera are settling down
to the regular routine of league rolling, j
Of course, the pin tumblers are glad the ;
tourney U over, but none regret holding
It here. The nuge success or me Dig
event made the labor connected with It i
light and cauaed all those bearing the
burden to feel amply repaid for the en
ergy spent.
The success of this annual midwest
event stands out most prominently In the
number of entrlei. the total of which far
surpassed that of all previous years and
the number of visiting teams was greater
than any before. The prise money, too,
was the largest erer given by the asso
ciation. The organisation, management
and entertainment easily outclassed all
former tournaments. Visiting bowlers,
all veterans at the game, and with for
mer tournament experience covering a pe
riod of several years, are loud In their
praise of the manner In which the tour
nament was conducted and all vow that
the 1(15 mlddleweet tournament held In
Omaha will never die In their memory.
To many Is due the credit for the suc
cess of the undertaking. The large out
side entry waa reused by' the strong,
united efforts of Victor B. Parrlah of the
publicity bureau of the Commercial club
and Local Tournament Secretary Carl J.
Cain.
ftlK RMtrr Mat.
The else of the local entry, too. sur
prised many. To William F. Weber,
chairman of the local entry committee.
LUk Orotte, C. E. Terrell, I M. Holt day
and George Zimmerman Is due the cred t
for this. This quintet with hard labor
built up the local entry to Its large pro
portions. The large proportion of the
entry Itself presented many perplexing
problems In the wsy of arranging the
schedule, but when Association Secretary
George C. Lowe of Kansas City and
local tournament Secretary Cain, ably
assisted by Assistant Secretary Eldson
grabbed the steering wheel . there waa
little or net trouble and the most strenu
ous schedule ever made up was run off
without a hitch or break.
The entertainment of the visiting
bowlers wss left to Chet Weeks and It
would be waste of time and space to
mention all the good things which could
be said about the successful manner In
which Chet did the work.
The good results of the tournament are
many. It has placed before Omaha the
greatness of the ten-pin game. To thoae
who formerly looked on the game as a
few weekly leaxuo matches It has
created a different aspect. The presence
of hundreds of bowlers from all parts
of the middle west, all rolling matches
on a schedule conducted like clock-works
for prise money passing the $7,000 mark,
ail combined with good fellowship and :
sociability, has shown many that bowling
is a great nationally organised sport and
not confined to Individual unit In dlf-;
fcrent localities. A large growth la the
game locally Is expected to follow, a
higher respect for the game ha been
established, and last but' not least, the
treatment accorded the visitors by local
business men ami bowlers ahs sent them
away well pleased and with a desire to
return again.

That, It seems, wculd practically end
all areument. Hut Mr. White doesn't cut
tie off with the flft footed l'pmrnt t'et
there Is no such thing as a bantamwelg'it
champion. lie goes Into detail and gives
the reasons therefore
'T radically every one of these so-called
bantamweights,' says Charley, 'are
fighting at the feathc rwelKiit limit, and
some of them are even above that, which
is 115 pounds.
"Th's thing of men fighting for a cham
pionship at a false weight." he added,
"la largely responsible for what might be
called a decay In the boxing gam. At
least that la my opinion. These boys In
the varloua classes have been allowed to
overlook the exact weight so often that
the dividing lines are obliterated, and
until we get back and make the several
classes distinct and clear-cut the game
will never be so popular as It waa In the
old days of the Morton law."
Itnittpnt l.les'f IO.
Mr. White explained that the wrlchti
for the respective classes were d I 1
upon by the Amateur assoc'atlon In lftt
and adopted by the professionals, all
belmr lased upon the old London prise
ring rules. According to these rules the
bantamwelsht limit is 105 pounds, the
featherwe'ght limit 115 pounds, the light
weight 131 pounds, and 'so on.
"Now," he explained, "there Isn't a sv
ealled bantamweight of prominence to
day who can make 105 pounds, and most
of them would have difficulty In getting
under 116, the featherweight limit. The
featherwlghta on the ether hand are
fighting at 124 ar.d 127 pounds, while 1
have known men to call themselves llght
welshta and fight at 1)0! Yet, and get
away with It. It la all wrong, and the
arte best thing that can be done to im
prove the boxing game and make the
port more enjoyable Is for the referees
aatd club managers to Insist upon a rigid
adherence to the weights as called for In
the rules. If the rules are not to be
enforced there la no use In having them."
Billy Sullivan Is
Some Expert with
The Shotgun, Too
Billy Sullivan la somewhat jealous of
the fame Matty. Bender, et at. have
been acquiring as trsp shooters. The old
White Sox catcher claims to be some
handler of the shotgun himself. John
Ritchie says Billy Is all he clalma to be
and then some, and then tells a story
that gives Sullivan and himself the laugh.
The newspaper man and the veteran
catcher were with the Minneapolis Mil-
lers In their training camp at Hickman
last spring. One day there they got hold
of Joe Cantlllon's favorite weapon. Tbs
Minneapolis manager happened to be
away at the time and It looked like a
good opportunity to try the shooting iron
out.
Pull! van, to show his expertness, took
the gun apart before they started. He
got It together satisfactorily with the
exception of one small spring. Neither
Sully nor Ritchie could locate where It
belonged. They began to get scared, for
Boss Canllllon thought a lot of that gun.
There happened to be a sporting goods
store in the town and they took the gun
there to have the proprietor see If he
could adjust the trouble. It so happened
that the -owner of the store had a dupli
cate of the gun. "Surely, I'll fix It up
In a jiffy," he said, much to the relief of
Messrs. Sullivan and Ritchie.
The storekeeper took his own gun apart
to see where the spring went. Then he
couldn't get it together again. The spring
wouldn't go bark.
What followed Is of such a nature that
we will draw the asbestos curtain over
the scene.

Meadows, Who Grins
At Betzel's Crack
I-ee Meadows, the young right-hander
of Miller llugglns' Cardinal pitching
staff, was the Innocent victim of I'mpire
Byron's wrath during a game In Pitts
burgh. Byron was calling balls and strikes
in a manner that Irritated not only the
players engaged In the pastime, but the
bench warmers aa well. Bruno Botxel fin
ally decided that Byron's work war
ranted severe condemnation from the
bench and forthwith yellod, "Hey, Byron,
why don't you stay at the hotel? You
could call them Just as well from your
room."
Turning to the bench, Byron noticed
that Meadows' countenance bore a large
grin which the keen-witted arbiter re
garded aa a symptom of guilt. "Tuh tha
club house wld youh, yuh fresh busher,"
cried Byron while pointing a finger to
ward Meadowa.
"Why, what are you chasing me for?"
queried the goggle-eyed pitcher. "I ll
show yuh." chirped Byron, "yuh can Just
pay a 110 fine for being too fresh, and if I
hear another grunt outer ya I'll sIkd a
1100 shin plaster on yuh." Meadows re
treated, but that night he wrote a letter
of protest to Governor Tener and the
National league president revoked the
fine a few days later. Such Is the life
of a poor recruit.

Britons Ordering
Guns from Japan
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
TOKIO, Nov. 1. The British govern
ment haa placed orders with the Kure
neval arsenal and the Muroran Steel
works for the manufacture of 400 three
Inch guns. The guns to be made are the
1" type Invented by the Japanese navy.
Three hundred guns will be made at the
Kure arsenal and 100 at the Muroran
Steel works. AH accessories will be ron
t'tactured by the Kobe Steel works. A
fttmal contract will be signed In a few
days. It Is understood that the guns are
for the British navy.
The Kawasaki Dock Yard company of
Kobe has contracted for the! manufacture
of a large quantity of shells for the Rus
sian army. The company has started the
work of erecting a big melting furnace at
Irs branch factory In Hyogo, near Kobe.
An order for 10,000 tons of copper and
6.00C tons of sine has been recently placed
with the Mitsui Busssn Kaisha by the
Russian government.
It Is understood that the company has
accepted the order only for S.0QO tons of
copper. The annual yield of copper In
Japan amounts to 60,000 tons, but It ap
pears that the supply for several months
ahead has been fully booked. On- the
other hand the turnout of slno la esti
mated at 1.000 tons. In ordinary times
It would not be difficult to enter into a
contract for the supply of 5.000 tons, but
leading refineries have orders placed up
to April next. Besides, the military
trtenals are also taking an enormous
svpply of the metal. Tha Russian slno
crder will therefore not be met In this

COACHES FROM THE SIDE LINES
NEW TORK, Dec. 4. Writing In the
Evening Post on faults in Harvard'J
foot ball system. "Falrplay" says: So
completely effective Is the modern Har
vard foot ball system that It would seem I
th Crimson could win Its victories with-
out the aid of certain questlonablo ad
vantages which Its coaches see 'fit to
take In the course of an Important con
test. At least, I think that all fair
minded followers of foot ball, whether
Harvard men or not, will subscribe to
the theory that It would enhance the In
terests of good sportsmanship If the
Crimson would try to win without the
assistance of It foot ball mentors and
without the employment of dlletory tsc- i
tic when the game Is Hearing It close,
and the trailing team hss, all thing be
ing fair and equal, a fighting chance to
better Its standing. There cannot be the
alightest doubt that the frequency of
Harvard substitutions, particularly at
times when the Tigers were making their
best advances, had for Its object the bear
ing of Instructions front Percy Haughton
to the field.
A Harvard man who waa In a favor
able position for viewing proceedings in
the vicinity of Haughton says that he
is certain that information was being
sent out to the field and his words of
deprecation of the tactics were strong.
He cites the specific case of a substi
tute he saw In consultation with the
coaches. When In few minutes this
man entered the game he gathered the
eleven about him for a conference, the
obvious Inference being that he was Im
parting to the team messages of instruc
tion from the side lines. The Incident of
sending Harris In to relieve Wallace for
a moment or two is another rase in
point. Harris also is named as a mes
senger from the coaches.
Evade Strict Rale.
The rules stipulate strictly against
coaching from the side lines, and while
many coaches evade them. It would ap
pear that Harvard offend most griev
ously in this way. And It Is not becom
ing to the university which stands as tre
modern gridiron leader. Haughton'
prestige, great as' It Is, would be greater
to all person with high Ideal of aporta
manshlp If he let his team, once on th
field, play the game as It can. Haugh
ton insist upon clean playing and de
cent demeanor on th gridiron why not
go farther T As to the delay cauaed by
Harvard In tha progress of the contest,
there are delays that may legitimately be
caused through punting and the throw
ing of farward paaaes. But, In the final
quarters although playing no part In the
outcome of the game Harvard' actions
were decided unfair, and had th referee
been a strict In this respect as he was
In the Carnell-Harvard game, when he
penalised the Ithacan at least once, he
would hav done Justice to Princeton.
Btlll another point lies In the number
ing of player. Princeton player with
number on their back showed a regard
for the pleasure of the apectator as to
th Identity of the Harvard player who
did thus and that, and. It might be said,
th press stand had only the vaguest
Idea. Numbered player give outsider a
clearer Idea aa to what th team 1 do
ing In th way of shift and the Ilk,
but In th larger aapecta of the question
this point doe not stand at all against
th many element which call for tho
mployment of number, and It may be
hoped that th time will soon come when
both Harvard and Tale will depart from
their present attitude.
Quakers in England
Liable to Split on
The Conscription
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
LONDON. Nov. For the English
Quakers th possibility conscription In
Greet Britain offers a very serious
problem. It haa ever been suggested that
there is danger of a split In the rank
of the church. A committee from the
central organisation I how engaged in
sounding every male communicant of
military age as to his Intentions toward
th society In th event of conscription.
A circular which haa been sent to these
possible subject of conscription by th
committee says:
"Whatever the future may have In
tore for us we are at least faced with
th possibility of military or industrial
compulsion. . (should this actually corns
about, we assume that friend will stand
fast to their Jesus Christ ss they under
stand them, be trie consequences what
they may. We must uphold liberty of
conscience, a tight won by much suffer
ing In the past, and not lightly to be re
linquished. "Should friends In any proposed legis
lation receive favored treatment, which
Is not extended to other conscltnlious ob
jectors (as has been the case in the
militia acts) we feel we should be In a
difficult position. We should wish to
support thoae outs'de our membership
as far as possible, and some friend's feel
It mlrht te rtcht for them to resign their
memrershlp to this end.
"This Is a practical method which
I merits eamrst consideration: but it
should not be forgotten that It might
prevent us servlnT the so'ety In ofer
directions and Its d-si-ab'lity must b
carefully weighed against the force of

Statue of Lincoln
Among Possessions
Of Russian Official
(Correspondence of the Associated Press )
PBTROORAD. Nov. 10.-A full-length
statute of Lincoln, with an Interesting
history, has been presented to Rev.
Franklin Gaylord. head of the Russian
Young Men's Christian association work.
The story or the statue is this: '
Among Rev. Mr. Gaylord caller th
other day waa Senator Anatole Feodoro
vttch Koni, a member of the imperial
council, as well as the senate, who is
Just celebrating the fiftieth anniversary
of his public service. He la a staunch
friend of the Young Men's Christian
association and Rev. Mr. Gaylord was
one of thoae asked to speak at the cele
bration of his anniversary. It seems
that the conversation between the two
men turned on Lincoln, and the next day.
to hla surprise. Rev. Mr. Gaylord re
ceived the Lincoln figure from Senator
Konl with a polite note requesting Its
acceptance as a token of friendship. As
a student in 165, Senator Konl bougaOnw
the statue and had given It a place of
honor In his home for fifty years. Dur
ing the Senator's student days Lincoln '
was Immensely popular with the progres
sive youth of Russia, because Lincoln
had followed Emperor Alexander II as
an emancipator. Many of these statues,
which were well executed In hard, pol
ished plaster, three-quarter slse, were
aold among Russian students, and doubt
less here and there In the homes of some
of the old families in Russia similar evi
dence of tribute to Lincoln may be
found.
