Today will be real gala day in ANA |
teur base ball circles in Omaha. Two
championship battles and one pennant- |
deciding conflict are carded to occupy the |
boards
The class b and class c championships
will be settled at Luxus park today. In |
the former class the Brown Park Mer-
chants and Drexels will mix and the
Trimble Bros and the G. A. Nelson's will
settle the c honors.
In class A the Luxus and the Alamitos
will play for the championship of the
Greater Omaha league. These two teams
are tied at present. This game will be
played at the Douglas County Fair
grounds.
In all probability the best battle will
be staged by the Alamitos and Luxus,
the contingents that are knotted for the
top roost in the Greater Omaha league.
Both of these teams have amply demon
strated the fact that they consist of the
best material available around these
jungles and as both managers viii have
a barrel Of pepper on deck TO be In
jected IL required. a real live fight for
supremacy will undoubtedly be dIshed
out Holland the old reliable, will
utilize his left lunch hook on the mound
to dish up puzzlers TO fool the hard-hit-
ting hitsmiths of the milk crew. The
milky children will stick Stengel, the
cream of their slabsters. on the firing
line. He is a southpaw and here OF late
has been twirllng like an old veteran.
Anyway a wrangle full OF base ball
enmity In which the rivalry will stick
out very conspicuously will be on the
bill of fare. This contest will ring In on
or about bells at the county fair
grounds which is located directly opposite
Krug park.
Nelson's Are FayOrItes.
Down at Luxus park the class c and B
championships will be decided. The first
argument will be between the Trimble
Bros. the dudes that grabbed the rag in
the Inter-Clty league, and the G. A. Nell
sons. the boys that copped the flag in the
Booster league. The strength Of these
two teams cannot be estimated because
of the different leagues they are asso-
ciated with. but the general opinion is
that the Booster league played the fast
est base ball, therefore, the G. A. Nelson's
look like the best bet. Nevertheless. the
Trtmbles state with vehemence that the
Nelson will have to step fast to hook
the bacon.
AS soon as the game is history the
Brown Park Merchants and the Drexel
Shoe Company aggrt cations will clash to
decide the Glass championship and In
cidentally ascertain which team will be
eligible to participate in the National
Amateur association Class b elimination
series, the first game OF which will be
played at st. Paul Oodles of rivalry ex-
lists between these two squads, so a con-
test fun of thrills is anticipated by the
followers of both congregations. In the
first game staged the Parks put the
Kennedy e. Beselins out of the race and
then the Drexels put the kibosh on the
Corr Electrics and next the Shoe Peddlers
put the First Christian church bunch on
the shelf, and now all that remains is to
slip the Brown Park Merchants dose
of defeat They will have their hands
full administering said dose. but they
say they can do It. Naturally the Mer-
chants cough up a different story
Potach, the pride of the Brown Park
Merchants, will heave the horsehide for
the Southtown lads and Garnett will hand
the foolers over the crockery for the
Drexel Shoe Co First game will be
called promptly at one whistle and a
