Although rather chilly on tho outside
last "Wednesday night, Il was not neces-
sary TO consult a Thermometer 70 notice
the difference in temperature In the coun-
Gil chamber of the city hail during the
usual c.'nflab OF the board Of directors
Of the Omaha Amateur association. Many
arguments that involved technicalities
relative TO the constitution and bylaws OF
the association served to keep the direc-
tors and spectators ut bloodheat while
the different questions were thrashcd out
Apparently most all Of the directors we're
in favor Of staging the elimination city
series at JSourtte park, but this would be
entirely out cf the question, because when
the Omaha team is out of town the Storz
utilize Rorrke park Then 1t was sug-
gested that said games be scheduled at
Rourke park in the morning, but this
proposition was fatty vetoed by the ma
jority. II was finally unanimously de-
cided to play at the Douglas Comfy Fair
grounds.
Protests Overlooked.
A couple OF protests we're not acted
upon because the managers registering
fourth Street Ramblers protested the
game played with the Corr Electrics last
Sunday because the Corrs played a man
not under contract Ordinarily the game
would have been ordered replayed. but
as the Southern league will close the
gates today ,he Ramblers cannot win the
pennant unless they trim the Southeast
Improvement club today, consequently It

otherwise the standing will 'emain the
same.

Deaf was allowed TO sign up three Glass

tended the same treatment. Manager
Boyle of the TOOTH carpenters came to the
meeting a trifle hot under the collar, but
departed as cool as a refrigerator. The
board extended to the Bailey Dentals the
same privilege given to the niutes.
