~ the present writing interest III
local amateur base ball is away above
par and according to the wiseacres at
tendance records will be badly shat
tered before this season has been
boxed up and stored sway for history.
When the directors of the Omaha
Amateur association met last Wednes-
day several protests were brought up
that should have been wastebasketed
in the various leagues. Herewith an
example; A certain team won a game
by a 10 to 0 score. On account Of
climatic conditions only eight of their
| players showed up, so in order to play
the game they utilized the services OF
candy kid who don't know the diff
between peanut and base ball. The
material part he played in said fracas
was to strike out four times and he
couldn't catch one in the outfield
where he was stationed if there was
million bucks in II for him. OF course,
the winning club vioIared the rules of
the association by playing this green
chap, but team that was trimmed by
such a large score should not resort to
technicality of this kind in order to
have the game replayed.
1t was suggested at the meeting
that waiver system be adopted so as
to give the different players chance
to drop back or rise, whichever the
case might happen to be. The game
staged on April 80 between the Bed
deos and the Boston Wet Wash was
ordered replayed because the Boston
Wet Wash manager did not have his
contracts in the hands OF the secre-
tary when this duel was fought. The
Trimble Bros. Boston Wet Wash pro-
test, the Mazdas-S South Omaha Mid
gets protest were laid on the shelf
until the next meeting. The ]. d.
Crews Townsend protest was ordered
to be voted on again 81 the American
league when enough magnates show
up to make the vote stick The
KENNY deal was brought up again by
the Beselins because they claimed, ac-
cording to the constitution, Pecha, the
president of the Rambler league, was
not entitled to a vote. Their claim
was upheld, but nevertheless the vote
turned out the same as before.

Its. 1t is lead pipe that one crew
ought to be taken to the cleaners to-
day, but as they are fined up against
the three delinquent teams II is pos
slble that the standings might not be
changed.

some time will be pulled off this
