| Although the ArInours were scheduled
for a pair of wrangles on last Sunday
with the Ancient Order of United Work
men team, only one game was played
and In the standings the writer only
gave the Armours credit for winning one
game The Armours want credit for a
| forfeit game along with the one they
eopped. After the next meeting of the
directors of the Greater Omaha league,
the standings will be changed or left the
same. according to their version of the
! affair. While most of the managers
think the Armours should have the game,
nevertheless, they say it is poor sports
manship to accept donations from a team
in unfortunate circumstances. The team
only had one pitcher, consequently only
one contest could be played. 1t is nearly
| a two to one shot that the Armours can
| trim the Ancient Order of United Work
men If they are ordered to play this game
and it would relieve all the grabbing
hound to arise in the event this game
would win the pennant for the AFmours,
1t wouldn't be a bad idea 10 all the
! teams would cut out the betting and
frame same regardless of whether or
not the contests were staged on other
diamonds besides the municipal fields,
Commissioner Hummel made the rule
some time ago that no plunging on con-
tests would be tolerated on the diamonds
coming under his jurisdiction. If You
are inoculated with the betting fever do
your betting outside of the parks What
is the use of bettingG Suppose 1t creates
more interest in the game? Don't YOU
play Just as hard IL you haven't got a
cent up? One thing it does do is that It
causes many @ heartaohe after game.
Many a base ballist that couldn't afford
1t has speculated on game Just SO ne
wouldn't be called a piker. This money
in many cases could be better utilized
to help pay for the necessities of life.
. Directors TO Meet,

chamber of the city hall, the directors
