BY FRANK QUIGLpY,


move the lid and simultaneously uncover
some nifty base ball for the inspection Of
their loyal supporters. Although some
are very reluctant to admit II, neverthe-
less 1t is a positive fact that base ball
players, especially amateurs, like to play
and can cough up a better article of ball
! when the stands are packed The recep-
| ton today, If climatic conddtions are
| favorable, will be a test OF popularity.
Last year the amateurs entertained great
gobs of base ball bugs every Sunday and
| they are bound to make their matinees
more interesting this year on account OF
the increased enthusiasm which will be
evinced by local and Twin City leagues,
At meeting of the class "A" Saturday
| league magnates the other evening they
decided to postpone the opening of the
season until April Is, mainly because the
| Pagomas would be unable to participate
/ in the first two wrangles. All the dis
putes relative to games and players will
be settled by the board Of governors,
Cook, Graham and Bradford. Some time
this week a constitution will be drawn up
by Frank Quigley and George Hageman.
and It will be up for adoption at the next
meeting which will be held at the city
hall on Monday. April 90 The managers
all agreed not to have any league games
scheduled for Saturday. July 4.
Plan Big Feast.
| There was also some talk about having
a banquet at the expiration of the sea-
son. This would be a gigantic affair
| The teams, umpires. scorekeepers and
newspaper men would aggregate ap-
proxlmately 100 and then when you take
In consideration the friends that would be
invited the total would be 800 This
would be some party and the Saturday
league could claim the distinction of
pulling off stunt never heard OF before
in Omaha, baseballically speaking.
Contest for blood.
1 contest that will be for blood will be
on the bill OF fare at Rourke park next
Saturday when the Storz will trip against
the Ancient order United Workmen COM

decker will be jerked off, the first game
OF which will be between the Chereks
and the Alamitos and the second erup-
tion A. o. U. w. against the Townsends
Both Of these contests will be practice
events, but Notwithstanding this fact.
some classy base ball will undoubtedly
be tossed out.
Guess II is in order for the Twin City
league to doff their bonnets to the City
league in recognition of the fact that
they are going TO jump off as per the
Doctors order. The Twin City boys were
to open up today, but they decided to cut
loose next Sunday The City league boys

constitution and settled a few other
small difficulties. Here is the way they
will start the fireworks:
