AMATEUR BALL IS SUCCESSFUL
Season Which Nears Close Marked by
Good Feeling All Around.
TRIUIPHs WILL MEET EAGLES
There VIII Be a Reunion of the stOrE
Bunch When Arthur storE
watches Sundays Game
from the Bench.

From every standpoint amateur base
hall has been a distinct success up to date
in Omaha, as well as in neighbor1ng
towns-Councn Bluffs, South Omaha, Ben
son and Florence. This season the people
in general have praised and stood by their
favorite teams and when the boys they
rooted for had to stand the sting Of defeat
they haven't as customary heretofore
bawled them out. but instead have patted
them on the backs. encouraged them with
words Of praise for their remarkable show
ing and told them to forget the past and
double their efforts to down their rivals
when next they bumped. These things
help the amateur player because he goes
into the fray determined to crush the
enemy. and when he is doing his best a
few words of cheer gives him new blood
to continue the voyage. On the other hand,
a knock from one of the hammer mer-
chants would ordinarily depress his spirits
and. make him canter around in q don't
,are-if-you-do-UiH style. Only one brawl
of any consequence has happened during
the-season. and that was at Florence
Some time ago during the Omaha Athletics
and Florence Athletics duel. the right
served as an extra part OF the bill. No
extra charge was collected for the fistic
encounter, as the one price of admission
entitled one TO all the side attractions. In
the final paragraph the trouble started
over a decision that didn't taste very
palatable 70 the Florence children anu

boys lunch hooks and he received a jolt
that shook all of his relations.

that has adorned the bruised list AL this
season the players have been very good to
the umpires as will be readily seen when
one ponders over the past games.

moons remaining all can say that the 1911
season was a remarkable success
Triumphs Against Eagles.
This afternoon out at the Benson Eagles
base ball shop, located directly east OF
Krug park the Bensonites for the third
offence of the season will tangle with the
Storz Triumphs. In the other two battles
the suds combination swallowed the LONG
end and they see no reason why they cant
make the Eagles take 70 their nest again

two hard jolts which in all probability
taught them few new things. During the
I Labor day battle they were continually
trying TO find fault with the umpire. They
didn't have anything TO kick for because
every decision which affected them was ar
accurate as any big show indicator handler
