Although South Omaha was attached
TO Omaha the other day. nevertheless the
writer will still recognize the squads as
South Omaha teams, because as soon as
Greater Omaha puts on q real metropoli-
tan air the different sections will be
recognized as south, east. west and north.
Just wanted to call the fans attention
to the fact that three South Omaha
teams are roosting on the higest pedestal
in three different leagues. The Armours
are on top in the Greater Omaha league
and from present indications they will IN
all probability cop the pennant and Incl
dentally 100 plunks. The winner OF the
Greater Omaha league can have q real
spread on 100 bones In the Interoity
league the Brown Park Jhniors look
rather sugary. Trimbie Bros. are right
on their heels and so are the South
Omaha Midgets, but they will have to
step some to put a crimp in the aspira-
lions of the Parks. From the Jump-off
the Brown Park Merchants have been
snoozing on the top roost OF the City
leag1ie and II they don't inhale too much
confidence, and II Madam Ill Luck will
pass them up. II is safe wager that
they will waltz away with the flag.
| From appearances in the National
league It looks like the Rambiers will
ramble away with the grNpes. With
Benny Monroe shooting the pills over
the crockery for the J. d. Crews Of the
Booster league it will be difficult mat
ter for the opposition to nose them out
OF the exalted position which they now
hold. The other real contenders in this
league are the G. A. Nelson's and the
/ Tradesman. Three teams are rather close
in the Southern league, and. as the COM
petition Is keen and the teams approx
mateIy evenly matched. Il would be pre-
posterous to usher an opinion as TO which
crew will grab the bunting. The South
east Improvement club. Corr E1ectrics
and st. Francis aggregations are the
conundrums of this league.
shoe Men in Lead.
According 70 the dope dished out in
the Mercantile league, II look rather rosy
for the Drexel Shoe company tribe. II
wouldn't be bad plunge to speculate
that the shoe peddlers will walk away
with the honors.

UP gents representing the Kennedy and
Beselin weed works are two games TO
the good. The Omaha Rubber Co. dudes
are next in line and although they are OF
the opinion that they viii bounce into
the first stall before many days glide by,
