TWO MORE TITLES
WILL Be SETTLED
remnants of Southern and
American Loops Will Be
Decided,
ISAACSoN HAS TROUBLES
BY FRANK QUIGLEY.

a pair Of tanglcs, one that will ulti
mately decide the championship OF
the american league, and the other
that will probably terminate the
Southern league controversy. are
billed at Ducky Holmes base ball
pasture, Thjrty-first street and Ames
avenue, for this afternoon under the
supervision of the directors Of the
Omaha Amateur Base Ball associa-
ton.
The first wranglc will be between
the Corr Elcctrics and the Nourse
Oil company. At the present writing
the Corrs are in first place and the
i Noursc Oil company own position
three. Serious complications relative
to settling the pennant will be un-
earthcd in the event the Nourse Oil
company wins this contest, so it is
up to the Corrs to dish up a winning
brand of base ball today. If the oily
dudes cop, the Corr Electrics and Nc
Carthys would again be tied for first
place and it would be necessary for
the McCarthys TO play three innings of
an unfinished game with the Nourse
Oil company, which was credited as a
victory to the McCarthys. Both
teams will utilize every ounce OF base
ball ability contained in their frames
to corner this game. so the fans are
assured OF seeing a lively tangle.
This contest will be rolled on the
carpet promptly at 1850.
At $50 the Chris Lycks and the
Omaha Bicycle Indians will hook up
to decide the championship OF the
American league. These two teams
are knotted for first place with an
average OF 1876. 1t would be tough
puzzle for the wiseacres to figure
out which one of these two aggrega
tons will wear the smile that won't
erase this evening. These two teams
are approximately even in every re-
spcct and a game on the miser order
! is looked for by the followers of the
two herds. Pinault will spill them
over the crockery for the Chris Lycks
and Mancuso will sail EN- up for the
! Omaha Bicycle Indians.
Directors Get Gabby.
Most of the time at the meeting
OF the Omaha Amateur Base Ball
association last week was consumed
BY some Of the directors that were
apparently hurt by different decisions
rendered by the board to date this
season, in telling the directors of their
grievances and what they thought OF
their decisions in general. The ones
with the sore spots happened to be
managers Of different teams, A lit
tie mouth ointment, automatically
dished out by the directors supposed
/ to be at fault, served to nliraculously
cure the sore places and the meeting
adjourned with harmony reigning
supreme.
Jake Isaacson was given permission
to officiate as president of the
Greater Omaha league for the balance
OF the season, providing he would
not undertake to defend the league
in case any of it's troubles were
brought before the board to be
analysed and adjusted, it being the
desire OF the board for the team or
teams surrounded with trouble to
have their own representative on
hand to defend their aggregation.
Sullivan Is Barred.
! Sullivan connected with the Ar
mours was barred from participation
in games coming under the jurisdic-
ton OF the association because he
played with the Brandcis and also
because he played professional base
ball this season.
Sometime ago the Nourse Oil pro-
tested a game played with the Coun-
