and there are no railroads or stage
lines available to transport him from

ment of the Middlewest Bowling as
sociation. Sixteen teams . will oc
cupy the runways, rolling in two
squads of eight teams each. The
first squad will commence rolling
at T p. m. and the second at 9 p.
m. - .
Prior to the commencing of play,
Mayor Smith, Commissioner Dan
Butler and otheT prominent local
enthusiasts will make opening ad
dresses and throw the first balls.
The big grandstand seats have ate
ready been constructed so there will
be plenty of seating space to ac
commodate the large crowd which
always attends meets of this kind.
Omaha enthusiasts this year will
have opportunity to see the world's
best 10-pin shooters in action. They
are entered from cities throughout
the central part of the United States
which is the main bowling section
of the world. Ex-champions and
champions of all the big bowling
associations are entered, and will
compete some time during the
tournament, which lasts 10 days.
Tonight, only local teams will
roll, but tomorrow night the in
flux of fast visitirig teams will com
mence, teams from St. Louis, Kan
sas City, Des Moines, Sioux City
and St. Joe, being among them.
On Sunday night another flock
of strong outside teams wilt roll.
Sixteen teams are to roll every
night and the doubles and singles
matches will be rolled the day
after.
The alleys are in fine shape and
the pins will be the best ever set
up at a large tournament.'
Prominent dooesters of the game
predict that some large scores will
be chalked up during the meet ana
that a record total will not be at all
surprising.
Ihe annual meeting ot the associa
tion will be held Sunday morning at
10 o clock in the dancing parlor over
the Omaha alleys. The year's impor
tant business will be taken up at
this meeting, including the annual
election of officers and the awarding

meet, and each will have a strong
delegation here to swing, it- their
way. ,.,) ;
Middlewest Tournament Notes
A peep at the Omaha Cold Stor
age lineup shows the names of old
supposedly dead and buried stars.
"Red" Ratekin will lead the flock,
and he has dug up Walt Howell, the
two Melums and George Bowers, all
former Booster league stars.
Monday night has Veen made
Omaha Grain Exchange night on
the schedule. An entire squad of
teams representing grain firms will
occupy the runways. There are sev
eral good teams in the lineup, so the
pins ought to drop for some healthy
totals. . t .'
Several outside entries were
turned back because they requested
dates on the schedule already filled
by other teams. This only illus
trates the importance of getting en
tries in early.
There are, still many bowlers en
tered in the doubles who are not
lined up with partners. Any bowler
not entered in this event can do so
by taking one of the many places
left open for team partners. See
Secretaries Eidson and Jarosh for
the list.
Thursday night, next week has
been made special night for Omaha
bank teams. Nine teams, represent
ing local banks,, will compete on that
night. They will be the last local
teams to roll. The remaining nights
being occupied by outside teams.
On Wednesday night the Auto
Row teams will roll. One entire
squad will contain teams from the
row, some of them fast local teams.
The schedules will be out and
ready for distribution today. The
outside entries have already been
sent an early schedule to notify
them of their time to appear.

A POINT is well taken by one of my
readers, one D. L. S., who encloses
clipping! with his letter, crediting Tommy
O'Brien with being the Pacific coast light
weight champion, and reviewing the battle
for the title of the entire western country
between O'Brien and Pat Gilbert. The read
er's letter is as follows:
"I am enclosing clippings from the Salt
Lake City papers concerning a match be
tween Tommy O'Brien, lightweight cham
pion of the Pacific coast, and Pat Gilbert,
champion lightweight of the inter-mountain
states. Here in Omaha we thought Jimmy
Drexel held the title claimed by O'Brien.
As you will note, this bout between O'Brien
and Gilbert was a draw. Can you en
lighten me as to who is the lightweight
champion of the Pacific coast, if anyone,
or is that too far away for you 7"
Iln a postscript, the writer of the letter
adds a number of complimentary remarks,
for which I am grateful, and he also adds
that a match between O'Brien and either
Drexel or Callahan would make a good one
for this section. He also says he hopes
that some more bouts like the Callahan
Drexel mill may be staged in this locality
before long.
TN answer to this query.' I must state
frankly, that I do not know "positively
who is the real lightweight champion of the
Pacific coast. Jimmy Drexel boxed the ac
credited champion of that district a few
years ago and defeated him. He was hailed
as the lightweight ehampion of the coast,
after winning from the champion at that
time. Drexel left that section of the
country and came this far east. Leaving
the district, for which he had defended
championship honors.' he naturally forfeited
the title. In a series of contests between
contenders for the title. Tommy O'Brien
defeated one of the Attel boys ani a num
ber of other claimants and was finally con
ceded to .have the best claim to the title,
since Drexel was not in that section to de
fend the honors any more. At this time,
it may be depended upon, that O'Brien
is the Pacific coast Ilehtweiarht ehamnion.
Should Drexel ever show on the coast
again ha would have to beat O'Brien in
order to again be , considered tha title
holder.
rpHE point taken by D. L. S. will be given
serious consideration. It may be that
a matcn may be arranged between O Brien
and either Drexel or Callahan. The letter
was referred to tha matchmaker ot the
Council Bluffs Athletic association, and in
this article, to tha promoter of the Fart
Umaha bouts, Denny Ryan, and ona of the
other of these two nay try to book such a
6out. It would undoubtedly make a great
match and as these two organisations are
working toward the same end, to give lov
ers of the boxing game a fair shake at the
sport they are interested in and provide
high class entertainment in the way of
classy performers, it is more .thna likely
that an effort will be made to induce
O'Brien to meet either Drexel or Callahan.
Callahan, being the winner at the Fort
Omaha snow, some fans may think they
would rather see O'Brien against the
Columbus, O., boy. Others may want to
see Drexel in another contest to give him
a chance to "come back" into favor with
local boxing followers. If you have an
opinion on the matter, write to the sports
editor and your written opinion may have
some influence with the matchmakers of
the two clubs in this locality.
TONIGHT the fireworks in the middle
x weight boxing division will be touched
off. Champion Mike O'Dowd will defend
the honors against the wonderfully clever
Mike Gibbons in St. Paul this evening.
While my readers are perusing this column
it is likely that I will be talking with one
or the other of the two gladiators. Early
in the week I made a selection as to the
winner, picking Gibbons to outpoint
O Dowd. Due to the reports emanating
from the training Quarters of the boxers. I
am afraid I must qualify my statement
somewnat. This may appear to De a neage.
but what man making a wager would not
hedge If the possibilities were against' Rim
afterward? O'Dowd appears to be 3 bet
ter form than ever before, while the
"Phamtom" is laid to be in poor shape and
considerably overweight.,. His work in
training is nothing like what was ex
pected of him and a number of his close
friends are greatly disappointed in his
work. Even at that. I think I sort of like
Gibbons to win a shade, but whether he
does or not, it's dollars to doughnuts that
the bout goes ' the limit of 10 rounds,
O'Dowd will never put crafty Mike out and
the chances of Gibbons knocking tha
champion out were never good.
THE present bantam champion, Pete
Herman, is something of a mystery to
eastern boxing fans. In every bout he
takes part in he shows only flashes of
championship form, hut smiles wisely
when it is remarked that he cannot seem
to hold the pace. It mav be that Pete
is going back to the old time-worn style
of allowing the fighters, fans and pro-
moters to think that he has slipped. The
time may come, when his pulling his
nunches will become a habit that he can
not break and then he will find himself
unable to let go when he needs the heavy
hitting tevwin for him. Some of the new
crop of little fellows mav catch him at
it and slip over a decisive win on him
and grab that championship. When that
time comes. Herman will again be con
sidered nothing but a preliminary boy.
His advent to the charmed title circle was
flashy, but it takes but little to prefix
and ex to tha champion, when they get
"too wise

Switcfi in Favor of
- Crafty -Mike Gibbons
St: Paul, Minn., Novi 20. Middle
weight Champion Mike O'Dowd,
and Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul
phantom, completed , training for
their 10-round bout here Friday
night, so far as boxing is concerned.
Both fighters declared they were at
weight and in top notch condition.
Twin City newspapers, announced
that the prevailing odds have in
creased to 10 to 7 on Gibbons, as a
consequence of his improved show
ing this week. One reason given
for the fact that Gibbons has be
come the favorite is the opinion
of some experts that O'Dowd's
wide open style will prove an asset
for Gibbons, 'provided the phantom
can prove he is the wonderful boxer
he was three years ago.

Eugene Corey, the famour ring
official of England, in a letter to
Sam Clapham, advises that mat
artist, that the National Sporting
club of London is contemplating the
revival of the wrestling game
throughout Great Britain and that
if Sam can succeed in annexing the
American championship from Earl
Caddock on the fifth of next month,
he can return to his native land at
once, with the assurance of the big
gest purse paid to a wrestler since
Hackenschmidt's time.
The wrestling game in England
has been as dead as a herring since
the fall of their idol, George Hack
enschmidt, at the hands of Frank
Gotch in Chicago in that memonble
"go." For a long time the word
"wrestling" was taboo among fol
lowers of physical contests of alt
classes. t is only recently that a
little interest has been reawakened
by the tournaments held among the
soldier athletes. Especially when
they saw their little countryman,
Clapham, win victory after victory
from competitors of class and was
given the title of light heavyweight
champion of Europe including Great
Britain that astute promoters be
an figuring on the possibilities of
packing houses with the old mat
game.

With this in mind, Sam is leaving
