As matter of fact IL is not very APP !
propriate to hear heated arguments while |
the thermometer is hitting the high places,
but, nevertheless, you can wander up to
tho city hall most any Monday night
while some of the leagues are in session
and hear enough hot air to keep you sup
Piled for the balance of the season. Last
Monday night four of the leagues waltzed
up to the city hall and settled some dis
putos that had been hanging fire for
some time. Aside from settling disputes,
the league remodeled their schedule TO
the satisfaction OF all concerned.
Those metropolitan dudes got peeved
because their president failed 60 decorate
the scenery and consequently tied the
hardware onto him and unanimously
elected Everett McAlllster TO the aforo-
mentioned and exalted position. Harold
Pearson is the monicker OF the deceased"
president.
The O. D. ks put in = claim for a
game they had scheduled with the Fonte-
nelles, which failed TO materialize because
the diamond arranged for was, through
some Misunderstanding, given to couple
of other teams. Although the weed
merchants put up a stiff fight TO add this
game to their list, the magnates after
due dollberation decided that the debate
should be- registered as n postponed game.
Because the Fontenelles took up the
franchise dropped by the Kelly trucks in
the Saturday class "A" league they had
to rearrange their schedule as the Fonte-
nelles want to play all Of their games at
Fontenelle park. This is all OF the bust
ness they had on file.
Pay InItintIOn Fees.
Al last the Omaha Amateur assocla-
tlon has gathered together enough dough
to enter the National association and the
l5sle was forwarded to Secretary Bios
zies last week. Several teams have
failed to push their membership fee In
the cash box and Il would be a good idea
for them TO cough up II they want to
get under the wire.
Somebody's aspirations are going to
drop below par today when the Brown
Park Pharmacy and the Vinton Street
Merchants bump each other at 8:45 out
on the green and beautiful Fort Omaha.
Rivalry bubbling over with sour Juice
exists between these two squads so a
real torrid battle from the tip of the gong
until the last gent Is oremated is antici-
pated.
An Unjust Report.
An unjust report has been going the
rounds relative 10 the gang brawl be-
tween the Vlnton street pugs and the
South Omaha brick throwers so in order
to rectify the false report, the writer
wishes TO state that after investigating
the matter he found that none OF the
| players OF either team were mixed in
the would-be-slaughter. Both teams
| have a large following of rooters that will
/ undoubtedly be on hand.
what About the KrebbEr
| -Four Of the six magnates OF the Booster
league got their beans together and de-
! cided 10 oust the Krebb Transfers, for.
merly the r. L. Tinkhams, out OF the
league. They made out q petition re-
questng the Omaha Amateur association
10 tic a can on the Krebbs and put the
West Side Electrics in their place To
date the association has not decided what
TO do, but the majority are IN favor OF
reinstatlng the Krebbs because the only
reason for ousting them is that according
to the other teams they crab too much

KTebb Transfers n hearing. The way Il
stands the TTimble Bros have two
games booked for today and II Is ques
tionable what they win do, They have
game booked with the West Side Elec
tries and one with the Krebb Transfers
This matter will be taken up at a meet
ing TO be held at the city hall Monda,
night and the chances are II will b,
settled to the satisfaction of all con
cerned.
