WITH THE OMAHA AMATEURS
Many Games Last Sunday Are Pro-
tested by Managers Who Object
to EMPIRES Decisions.
NO CHANGE IN LOOP LEADERS
BY FRANK oUIeLEY.

Last Sunday could rightfully be named
protest Sunday, because of the contests
that were protested. According to the
dope, a couple of the wrangles were pro-
tested on account OF the judgment OF
the umpire. or course, in all probability
these protests will be settled by the va
rious leagues, but in event they are not, It
will be up to the directors Of the Omaha
Amateur association to pronounce the
verdict when they convene ct the ooun-
ell chamber of the City Hall on next
Wednesday night Any cases where the
Judgment of the umpire is questioned
will be decided the same as the umpire
called same. The directors believe in
citing the umpires have full jurisdic-
lion and they believe in giving them FUN
authority to utilize the power invested
in them. The only decisions made by an
umpire that will be reversed by the board
Of directors nre ones In which the tech
nique OF the game is involved. Mistakes
in rules will be remedied and that is
about ell. So boys, you are wasting your
time with the board when the umpire
Is erroneous in his Judgment.
Certain fellows like to umpire amateur
games, while others could not be drawn
and tackle. It Is a tougher proposition
to dodge pop bottles among amateurs
than salaried players. The jitney grab
bers know at least something about the
game. while the knowledge of the anna
tours Is limited. To see some OF the
sand lot cavoreters start out toward the
question box stationed behind the kinker
you would swear that they were the WEBB
sters OF base ball and that they had al
read worn out the leaves of the baseball
| rule books they never owned
No Change iR Leaders.
This Sunday finds the same teams hold
! ing down the front row as on last Sun
day, with the exception that a couple
of teams retrieved few notches while
| the others slipped up a cog or two. BY
! mailing two squabbles the Alamitos
/ showed themselves up oven with the Ar
mours in the Greater Omaha league. Fol-
/ lowing close on the trail OF these two
contingents are the Luxus children.
! Blacks Kats got poor start. out they
still have fighting chance. The balance
of the teams in this league are all go
| ing good at the present writing, but
they turned on the steam to late. From
present Indications, IL is a safe wager
that the Ramblers will ramble away with
the pennant in the National league. Up
to date they have iced every argument.
The worst shock administered to the
base ball insects on last Sunday was the
trimming so neatly performed on the
Kennedy & Beselin bunch by the Omaha
Rubber company troupe. Tho cigar VEN
