Sioux City Journal: Every true sup
porter of the Omaha baseball club has
long been impatient over the situation in
the Western league and has persistently
maintained that Omaha belongs in
league with cities that support their base
ball representatives consistently.
Omaha would do right well in a circuit
outside the pale of organized ball, where
teams were compelled to jump from Pitts
burg to Omaha. For geographical reasons
alone the plan is not practicable. The
real trouble in Omaha is this: The man-
agement of the Western league is not pop
ular with the business interests of the
town. Most of the fans we'll satisfied
with the brand of ball played in the West
ern league but they take none too kindly
to the man who owns the club. In the
first place his penuriousness does not ap-
peal to good sportsmen. A town the size
of Omaha deserves a winner; it will sup
port one, but first of all the owner must
show that he is earnestly endeaV oring to
get a winner. sample of Rourke's
methods is the selling of Bert Niehoff
one of the best minor league third base
