Murphys and Unions Meet to OMAHA ARMOURS
Decide City Title Uame iyiN FIRST fiAMF
III BF B Wl IIIIB
OF PLANT SERIES
Large Crowd Expected to Attend Battle for Local
Championship1; Managers Pick Star Hurlers for
Mound Duty in This Contest.
By WILLIAM O. BLOZIES.
City championship honors are at
stake this afternoon at Luxus park
when the Murphy-Did-Its, pennant
winners of the Greater Omaha
league and Class A. A. champions
of the Western Amateur Base Ball
association, lock horns with the
Union Outfitting company, City
league champions and Class B city
champs, .
This contest no doubt will be hard
fought from start to finish since
both aggregations are out to cop
the rag. Both the Murphy's and
Outfitters ' have played remarkable
ball this season in their respective
class. -
Large Crowd Expected.
'From present indications a large
crowd is expected to be on hand to
cheer their favorites on to victory.
Although the Unions are going out
of their class in this battle, never
theless the players, as well as the
City and Class B supporters are con
fident the younsters will give the
Western champions a good run for
their money.
Manager Pascal announced last
night that Harrison Stucker, who
several weeks ago pitched a no-hit-no-run
game against the Western
Union team will be on the firing line
for the Outfitters, with Guinotte be
hind the bat.' Manager Lawler
stated that "Butch" Hay will be his
choice against the Class B cham
pions. In former years, however, a three
game series for the city title be
tween the Class A and B warriors
was staged, but on account of other
plans, only one game will be pulled
off this year.
N To Pay Expenses.
The money taken in at this game
will go towards paying the ex
penses of the Class A. A. winners
of the National Base Ball Federation
when they play the Murphy's here
probably next Sunday for the
world's amateur base ball champion
ship. ,
Although it was at first planned
to play the winners of the National
Federation, either Cincinnati or
Cleveland, who are deciding their
race today, here next Sunday, word
was received by Secretary Isaacson,
that these teams are playing it off
for the Class A title, and not Class
A. A. as formerly announced.
According to the latest advices
received by Isaacson, Pittsburgh.
Canton and Johnstown are fighting
it out for the Class A. A. title, so it
is uncertain when the game will be
played here, but in all probabilities,
it will take place a week from next
Sunday,
The eastern teams, according to
President Tom Nokes in his tele
grams and letters to Secretary
Isaacson, are anxious to play the
game at Omaha instead of the east
ern cities.
Officials Up a Tree.
At the present time, the local of
ficials are up a tree, as it is impossi
ble to secure the use of Rourke
park and Luxus park is too small
for the game. Fontenelle park is
the most suitable place to stage this
game, and if satisfactory arrange
ments are completed local fans will
have the opportunity to see the
eastern champs in action at Fon
tonelle park.
Base ball fans throughout the
country and especially those in the
west are looking on with great in
terest in the coming world's amateur
title game, and if the contest is ar
ranged here, no doubt the biggest
crowd that ever attended an ama
teur ball game will be in attendance.
The Murphy's stand a good chance
in winning the title, regardless of
where the game ij played, but fans
are of the opinion if the game is
scheduled at Omaha the Western
champs will have all odds in their
favor.
First Time Here.
This will be the first time in the
history that the world's title game
has been played in the west and if
the Murphy's carry off the honors
the world's championship will re
main in Nebraska, since the Lincoln
Cleaners and Dyers won the cham
pionship two years ago, by forfeit
when tne Pacific coast champs re
fused to play them.
The championship between Pitts
burgh, Canton and Johnstown will
be settled sometime this week, and
President Nokes of the Federation
promised to advise Secretary Isaac
son immediately the winners so ar
rangements for the big game can be
made. Whether one game will de
cide the championship or the best
two out of three is still an uncer
tainty, but it will probably be two
out of three since the other cities
are playing it off in this manner.

The Nebraska-Iowa Horseshoe
Pitchers' association will stage a
tournament at Blair, Neb., next
Sunday, in which the new rules of
the game will be given a thorough
trial. Singles and- doubles teams
are invited to enter. The commit
tee is especially anxious to get a
team from the Omaha' fire depart
ment to enter.
AH entries must be in not later
than 9 o'clock on September 28.

Langtry Predicts Great
Strides in Bowling in '19-20
Sectional Tournaments, Held Up By War Last Year,
TTTill T- Tl l ml ' rt r t . m
in Omaha and International Meet at Minneapolis.
By A. L. LANGTRY.
(Secretary of the American Bowling
Congress.)
Wonderful strides will be made
this year in bowling, and every
tournament that was abandoned
temporarily during the big quarrel
across the water, will be resumed
during the coming fall and winter.
All of the national, state and city
tournaments under the jurisdiction
of the American Bowling congress
were held as usual during the war,
but several sectional tournaments
were passed by the boards. The lat
ter are being revived and are com
ing with a rush, and bowling every
where will be at the apex of its
popularity during the next six
months.
The first tournament to be held
will be the Middle West association
that will conduct its annual keg-
elfest at Omaha this fall, beginning
the latter week of November, and
from indications the tournament
will be greater and grander than
ever as good men are at the helm
and Omaha touches a good bowling
territory.
The international tournament will
be held at Minneapolis opening its
doors about February 20, 1920, and
they will draw well this year, es
pecially from the Canadian pro
vinces, as the boys who have re
turned after four years of war are
keen for any line of sport, and they
will, without a doubt, flock to the
Minneapolis headquarters when the
call is issued to the northwestern
states.
Tourney at Vancouver.
The Canadian and Northwestern
tournament will be held at Van
couver, and will be a resumption of
bowling in that district. Their dates
have not been set, but they always
bowl later in the season, about the
same time as the Pacific Coast
Bowling association, that will roll
at Oakland this year and not start
until about the first week in May.
The Pacific coast bowlers are
gradually building up a rattling
good association, and if they keep
a firm rein on the game during the
next few years with good officials
they can do a great amount of good
for tenpins. Their territory gen
erally calls for Denver as their east
ern boundary line, and this year
they will draw well from all that
district.
The great international world's
championships which are held under
the jurisdiction of the American
Bowling congress will be conducted
this year under the banner of the
Peoria Bowling association opening
March 10 and closing the first week
in April. .
In Good Location. -The.
location of Peoria is well set
for s big tournament, and while'
they may not draw the entry that
Toledo did last spring when they
piled up 796 teams with a corre
sponding number of doubles and
singles, still it is anticipated that
Peoria will draw from 600 to 700
teams, and with this entry will make
things hum for four weeks in what
used to be the Still city, but no
more.
A big meeting of the Peoria bowl
ers will be held on Saturday, Sep
tember 13, and the officials of the
Peoria Bowling Association, as well
as the officials of the American
Bowling congress, will participate in
the meeting. .
Anticipating an early rush for
choice dates, the bowlers of Chicago
have reserved alleys for 150 teams,
Milwaukee for 35 teams, Cincinnati
for 20 teams, Indianapolis for 20
teams, and some smaller reserva
tions have been made by cities who
wish Saturday and Sunday dates.
. At this early date the wise bowl
ers who are handicapped by busi
ness conditions and can get away
from home only on certain dates
have picked up the choice Saturday
and Sunday dates, and the boys who
will wait until the last minute will
be up against the midweek dates as
usual. : 1
The Pacific coast bowlers are tak
ing quite an unusual interest in the
world's championships this year and
there will be a team from Oakland
and another from Frisco this year
which will give quite a representa
tion, as assurance has already been
received that teams will be entered
from New Haven, Conn.; Vancou
ver, B. C; Mobile, Ala.; San An
tonio, Tex., and several other dis
tant cities, so that the twentieth
tournament will bring together a
widely assorted collection of bowl
ing enthusiasts, and as; their best
bowlers will make the trip, some
high and mighty scores are looked
for. ' '

BANG
Goes Another Record
The 1920
HarleyDavidson
with the new SLANT HEAD cylinder,
makes its initial bow to the public by
breaking the former three-flag (Can-ada-to-Mexico)
record by 2 hours and
six minutes. (1,714 miles in 51 hours.)
The 1919 HARLEY-DAVIDSON
truly won the title of NATIONAL
CHAMPION, and the 1920, with its
NEW REFINEMENTS, is just leap
ing its way into the hearts of all lovers
of a MASTER MACHINE.
Come In and Look Them Over
We ordered a carload, but the fac

us only a few at a time. So its a case
