In glancing over conditions since the
different leagues have been organized II
is pleasing to notice how well the play
ers associated with the leagues have lived
up to the rules and regulations of the
Omaha Amateur association. The ma
jority of the. teams are intact and only
few have 'inoculated the jump fever,
and the majority of those that did jump
from one team to another found that
they were up against a real starchy prop
osition and they we're willing to tender
their services, coupled with a willingness
10 perform their duty with the team to
which they rightfully. belonged. When
players find out that II is not an easy
matter to hook on wherever they so de-
sire probably they will let their thought
reservoirs digest the trouble thoroughly
before arriving at decision Hasty con-
clusions. as a rule, point towards the gut
ter, so stop and think before diving. The
repentants don't always get the welcome
shake.

The biggest. surprise was the classy
kinking of Smoky Grant Of the Valen-
tines against the fast Black Kats The
teams are, approximately, evenly
matched, but in the estimation of the
fans the Black Cats were best fortified
in the wiggling department, However,
these predictions were smashed to
smithereens when Colonel Grant OK the
Valentines strode out on the mound
garbed in his strike-out garments, and
before the contest was history he sent
sixteen of the famous Black Kats back to
the bench wondering
