STATE GOLF MEET
TO BEAT LINCOLN
For the First Time in History
Classic WU1 Not Be Played
,. in Omaha.
EXPECT LARGE ENTRY LIST
For the first time In in history the
Nebraska Gol association's champion
ship tournament will not be played
.in Omaha. . The Lincoln Country
club is the place and June 25 is the
time selected for this year's classic?
The number, of entries will deter
mine the length of the tournament If
the entries equal last year's there wilt
be two qualifying days beginning
Monday. If less players enter the lists
(he tournament wilt not start until
Wednesday.
It is an admitted belief that Omaha
golfers will not respond to the tourn
ament call in such large numbers as
they have in the past. Fifty will com
prise this city's delegation tnis year,
it is thought But Lincoln's entry lists
wilt be enhanced, as will the grpups
representing the out-state towns,
which heretofore have , sent only one
or two players.
Frank Hale of the Metropolitan as
sociation wants to form a new board
of control and will call a meeting
for that purpose. He also believes
that the excess cash in the treasury
ought to be used to buy a trophy
bowl, which would be played for
annually.
Those present at Tuesday's meet
ing were:
S. R. McKelvie, president, and Billy
Folsbm, Lincoln Country club; Zach
Marr, Fremont; Jim Christeiansen,
Council Bluffs Rowing association;

"Peck" Griffin, Tennis
, Champ, Visits in Omaha
Clarence J. (Peck) Griffin, with Wil
liam Johnston, doubles tennis cham
pion of the United States, is visiting
in Omaha. Griffin is engaged to an
Omaha girl, Miss Marian Kuhn.
Griffin will not defend his title this
year. His business will not permit him
to engage as actively in tennis as in
the past, so the championship team
of Johnston and Griffin has dissolved.
Johnny Strachan, who won the clay
court championship in Omaha several
years ago and formerly Griffin's part
ner in the doubles, will play with
Johnston this year.

EARL SMITH SENT
BACK TO ROURKES
Star Outfielder to Be Dropped
Off in Omaha by Chicago
t Cnbs Friday.
HAY PLAY AT FIRST BASE
Earl Smith, last year the class of
the outfielders of the Western league,
was yesterday returned to Omaha by
the Chicago Cubs, to whom he was
sold last fall.
While a lot of local fans believe
Mitchell pulled a boner in returning
Earl and keeping such men as Mann
and Flack, Omaha is glad to see
Smith come back, because he will be
a big aid to the Rourkes.
There is a chance that Smith may
play first base for the Rourkes this
year. Rourke said yesterday if
Brokaw lives up to expectations in
left he might try Smith out at first.
He believes Earl would fill the posi
tion in a most capable manner, as he
has always been good on ground
balls.
Whether Smith will return to his
old spot in left or play first depends
upon Brokaw and Henning. Which
ever goes the best will be retained
and Earl probably will play the other
position. If aboth men deliver the
goods Rourke may have to find an
other job for Smith.
Smith will arrive in Omaha Friday
with the Chicago Cub second team,
which will on that day play an ex
hibition game with the Rourkes, He
will be dropped off here.
Rain yesterday caused cancellation
of the game between the Rourkes
and Creighton. ,
