Prospects for Sandlot Base Ball
Said to Be Brightest in the
History of Game.
WORK IN HARMONY
Nv FRANK qUIGLEY.


From present indications this season
will surpass all others since amateur
base ball was put on the map in Omaha
More enthusiasm has already been
evinced this season than ever before. In
nearly every contest harmony reigns.
Only q couple of small differences have
been reported to date.
At recent meeting Of the American
league It was decided that the West
Leavenworth Merchants and the Dundee
Wooden Mills teams should play over
their eleven-inning game that terminated
in a victory for the Merchants. by
score Of 10 to l. Both teams differed on
nearly every decision made by the UNI
pire, and it is asserted that the Mer-
chants failed to abide by some of the
decisions. After the different managers
heard the stories of both sides they
could not see their way clear to let the
Merchants get away with this victory.
Not In This Year.
After finding that It is a difficult mat
ter to schedule games with Class-A
teams since the organization of the
Greater Omaha league. Blair and Platts-
mouth want TO join the league. Presi-
dent Cook says he will be willing to
] consider their applications next season,
but he can't cope with the situation at
present Nevertheless he has taken 1t
upon his shoulders to arrange matters
so that Plattsmouth and Blair can play
one of the Greater Omaha teams every
Sunday II they so desire.
Only eight of the fourteen directors OF
the Omaha Amateur association showed
up at the meeting last week. 1t is i'm
, portant that all of the directors should
be on deck. The writer cannot conceive
why any one OF the directors. when they
were so enthusiastic at the beginning of
the season, fails to answer the roll call
when his help and cooperation is
earnestly requested and needed. The
next meeting viii be held at the council
chamber OF the city hall. Wednesday,
May 26.
President Isaaeson would be pleased II
all the boys would attend.
At the last meeting several protests
that were registered with Secretary
Bloszies were brought up. but as the
teams interested failed to show up the
protests are now the property of ths
waste basket. The Gantz-McAndrewG
difference was dropped because Gant1
failed to appear to prosecute.
Plan for Raising Money.
From appearances the Central Parks
were willing TO hand their franchise II
the Booster league to the Monmouth
Parks. because they failed TO register a
kick. Because of the fact that 1t will
require considerable money to defray the
expenses of the different winners In the
various leagues for their EXCURSIONS a
the termination of this season. a plar
was submitted by Louis Cook for rails nl
the money. He suggested that tickets b
secured. to be disposed OF at 81 each
; which would entitle the bearer to witness
all of the championship games. A com
mittee was appointed consisting of Fre(
Hunter. Louis Cook and Fred Krall, Il
a make the necessary arrangements 20 dis
e pose of the tickets.
Q If each manager would get rid OF ap
{ proxmately ten tickets, the association
e would be on easy street. and the bal
ance left over would be sufficient I,
