CITY SERIES PLANS
Games to Decide Sandlot
Championship to He Held
Soon as Possible.
FEW PROTESTS COME UP
BY FRANK oUIGLEY.

BY fNANh VUAVLhI.
Last week the parade talk went the
rounds and barrels Of enthusiasm has
already been evinced by the local pill
shooters. What all the boys want to
know is when the big spectacle will be
dished out. The exact date cannot be
determined at this early hour, but the
parade will be staged the Saturday
before the main fracas to decide the
Class A amateur championship. The
various teams in the different classes
will have automobile floats and prize
will be hung up for each class as all
incentive to have the best float.
Most of the directors answered the
roll call last Wednesday, listened to
few protests, made few plans for the
championship games and tended to the
ordinary business in almost har-
monious manner. The Corr Electrics
protested a to 0 game with McCar-
thy's Sunnybrooks, claiming the bark
er, fellow tagged McQuade, pur-
posely gave them the worst of every
decision. Because no evidence was
produced to ratify said charge, the
game was ordered to stand as played
and the adjudicater exonerated. 1t was
decided to let the Corrs and McCar-
thys finish an unfinished game when
agreeable to all parties concerned
just so the game is played in time so
the winner can participate in the city
series.
The rehearing granted Manager
Hageman relative to the Trimble
Bros National Cash Register game
was given and it terminated as re-
corded two weeks ago. The game
stands as played.
Winners Draw Straws.
At the next meeting Manager
Boekhoff of the Armours, Otto
Pecha of the Ramblers and President
Cook representing the Greater Oma-
ha league will draw straws to ascer-
tain which teams will be pitted against
each other in the initial game to de-
eide the Class A championship.
The contract of Herbert recorded
by Secretary Blosziers as being re-
leased was declared valid. Herbert
is affiliated with the Trimble Bros.
Because Tommie Graham, having re-
turned all the junk which he held in
captivity from other teams, was al
lowed permission to play with the
Beddeos.
At a meeting of the National
league the magnates were unani-
mously in favor Of calling off all the
postponed games because none of the
teams could head off the Ramblers.
So now the Ramblers can be heralded |
as the champions of the National
league. Each team put up forfeit of
SIS to stick through the season. This
money will be returned this week.
Ramblers Return.
Those Ramblers rambled back
homeward sooner than anticipated.
They made a good start, but the
troubles that are bound to arise with |
a team on the road were delivered in
wholesale packages to the Ramblers,
so that the geek in charge decided
that the best place to play the bal
ance of the games they had already
scheduled should be around the Stove
league some time next fall. They had
already booked games until Septem-
Der l. The main feature of the tour
was that the Ramblers blew back with
q few jingles in their trousers. Now
for a few reasons why they bobbed
up sooner than expected. James Moy-
Ian endeavored to stop pill with
his lamp and said light was decorated
with rainbow co1ors. Kaufman and
Swanson put their lunch hooks on
the bum showing the burgites their
puzzlers. Norgard's catching paw is
puffed up like kids head when
wearing his first pair of long pants.
M. Morgenson was crippled when he
attempted to put a husky out at the
plate. The Ramblers played six games
icing three out Of the six They dined
at Elba, Scotia, Greeley Center and
St. Paul.
Deweys Fall Down.
Somehow or other the idea inocu-
lated by the Frank Deweys that they
could make a clean sweep without a
broom in the Greater Omaha league
failed to materialize, consequently
after one offense, which proved rath-
er disastrous to their aspirations,
they threw up the sponge. A good
pitcher is what the Frank Deweys
need. Somebody the Greater Omaha
