There is always room for censurs
among the amateurs so here goes for a
small hammer play, which is not in
tended for all the magnates, just for the
ones that utilize the space in these col
umns for the purpose of foolng the ones
that so out 10 see them display their
wares. II one Sunday ever goes by when
every amateur game Is played as the
magnates report the writer will hold It
forever in grateful remembrance. Re
Gently permission was secured by GER
tain manager to stage a game at Fort
Omaha and he changed his thought res
ervoir without notifying the party that
has charge OF the diamond APPROX
mately 1000 fans trotted out to Fort
Omaha 20 see this mix, which failed to
materialize. Twice this same thing has
happened at Fort Omaha.
Bosses. did you ever stop and think
what it means 30 switch to. a diamond
different than reported2 Fans that like
to see your team in action go to the
place where you are supposed 20 play
and not finding you at home lose out
on an afternoons recreation, Think It
over and you will find that 1t Is far from

Things Looked Gloomy.
Madam Rumor had II that the City
league was about to tip It's cady TO the
undertaken prior to the meeting held by
the City leaguers last week. Even at the
meeting matters looked dark and dismal
because the leaders of the Murphy DID
Its, and the Advos failed to ring in. Re-
ports hat been going" the rounds that
the Advos were in the cemetery and that
the Murphys were going to quit the
league. After a thorough investigation
II was brought 10 the surface that the
Murphy Did Its were anxious to collide
with an -out-of-town team and that they
were willing TO forfeit a game to be exr
tended this privilege, and that the Advos
are the livelieet dead bunch in the world.
The p. A. C.'s are anxious to enter the
league, but they will have to be contented
on the waiting list. From the way things
boom UP at the present writing thA teams
now in the City league will be on deck
when the asbestos drops, which will be
Sunday, August 8.
Having Some Trouble.
Those Metropolitan leaguers are hav-
ing oodles of trouble Things looked
rather dubious for them and they might
have proved disastrous if it hadn't been
for the timely work Of Leo Foley, the
leader OF the Imperials. When no looked
over the situation he Immediately got in
communication with the generals of the
various teams associated with the afore-
mentioned league and after talking the
matter over they unanimously decided to
drop the Victors. The VIctors, because
they went to the wall and the chances
were slim, for them TO reorganlze. They
were figuring on throwing the Q. d. X 5
out. but their case has been adjusted to
the satisfaction OF all concerned A new
president was elected to fill the gap left
open by the departure of Everett Meal
lister and as Lawrence Kelly resigned as
secretary, a new gent was pushed into
his shoes. Hereafter Fred Kriebs will be
the high mogul or the Nets and Leo
Foley will hold down the secretary chair
The new team that will be christened
today is the West Side Electrics. They
win float in with an average Of 800, This
was agreed on by the magnates. Now
that this league has a live wire at the
helm they ought to be able to pick their
way without much trouble until the bell
tingles.
