WITH THE OMAHA AMATEURS
Leaders Tumble in Several Leagues,
Including Armours, Who Give
Way to Luxus,
BAKER SIGNS WITH sToRz
nv FRANK QUIGLEY.


Judging the situation relative to the
pugilistic stuff in calm ane dispassion-
ate manner, the writer is unable TO con-
ceive where anything radically wrong
really happened A few of the boys being
strained TO their highest pitch on account
of being defeated and then TO help
matters along the fans coughed UP few
sarcastic remarks consequently the re-
| sistible powers of the local ball tossers
were smashed to smithereens and few
| blows were landed. Since then the boys
have apologized to each other and prom
/ ised with all the sincerity in the
world to do all in their power to avoid
these tangles hereafter. Base ball
| squabbles never amount to much because
they are pulled off on the spur Of the
moment and are mended nearly as fast.
Small tangles eventually grow the same
as other things that start on a small
scale so 1t would be good idea to
obliterate them on the jump off.
| Leaders Lose Grin.
After the shuttle last Sunday a few of
the leaders were found among the miss
ing In the Greater Omaha league the
Armours were showed out of first place
and the Luxus tribe are wearing the
crown. How long they will be the king
pins is a conundrum difficult to solve
because at the present writing all OF the
class "a" teams are dishing up a
relishable article of base ball.
The Trimble Bros, got 1t into their
think tanks that they should hold down
the fort and be the main springs of the
Inter-City league. consequently they
whipped their noble opponents, namely
the Brown Parks Juniors during an
eleven-inning battle last Sunday and
waltzed up a notch. They are now tied
up for first place with the South Omaha

At the meeting Wednesday Louis Cook
said It was imperative that the man
ayers should take more interest In the
affairs OF the association. He also told
of his plan which was recently ap-
! proved by the board OF directors whereby
financial aid could be secured that would
! easily put the association on firm and
sound basis financially. Said plan lie to
dispose of tickets to different fans and
especially the business men of the city,
which entitle purchaser to witness all the
elimination and championship contests
staged towards the termination of the
season. 1t is hoped to procure enough
money through this method to defray the
. expenses of the different teams that
, come to Omaha and the ones from here
! that will journey elsewhere to participate
! in the championship series Of the different
. classes in the National Association OF
! Amateurs. After these games are his
