MANY SCRAPS ADJUDICATED
By FRANK QUIGLEY.

By FRANK QUIGLEY.
At the next meeting of the board O
directors of the Omaha Amateur Bas,
Ball association it will be dehnitel,
decided whether or not an amateur
field day will be held in this cit,
towards the expiration Of the season
Last season the directors expected tc
hold a field meet in conjunction with
one of the final games of the city
championship series, but as the proper
interest was not manifested BY the
local pill shooters, consequently the
proposition was waste-basketed. The
directors worked untiringly to pro,
mote field meet last season, but
their efforts proved futile simply be-
cause they did not have the CO.
operation of the players.
Settle Disputes.
The contest between the Corr Eiec-
tries and McCarthys, protested be-
cause the manager claimed he was un-
able to change pitchers at a critical
moment because the umpire would
not let him on the diamond because
he was not decorated with uniform,
was ordered to stand as played.
The Nourse Oil protested debate
with the c. B. Athletics because the
latter played a couple of "blokes"
not under contract, but investigation
showed that the Nourse Oil violated
the same rule, so the game was or
dered to stand as played.
The row protested between the
South Omaha Midgets and Mazdas,
which resulted in a 10 to 0 score,
was ordered to stand as played be-
cause the protest hinged on a trivial
matter.
The Gate City Machine Works and
the Homesteads were ordered off the
diamond by the umpire at the ex-
piration of the fourth inning because
the Gate City boys were too talkative.
This game was ordered continued
from where they left off and instruc-
tions were given to the leader of the
Gate City crew to make the boys be-
have.
Depose Joe Slagle.
Because Joseph Slagle inoculated
the idea into his thought reservoir
that all he had to do in order to be
president Of league was to be elect
ed, the magnates Of said league de-
cided to relieve him of the honor.
Since they disposed of Slagle, the
league elected Milton Holland presi-
dent and Bert Tierney secretary. Sew
eral matters that needed attention
have been repaired and the league is
now able to plow through the season.
Down on the green at Riverview
park this afternoon the Chris Lycks
and the Omaha Bicycle Indians will
stage battle that will temporarily
decide which team will roost on perch
one in the American league. At the
present writing these teams stand
knotted with an average of 1888. Only
one game has been dropped by each
team since the bell tolled.
Rourke park will be the scene of
an excellent game this afteronon
when the Brandeis endeavor TO beat
the Lincoln Cleaning and Dyeing
works from Lincoln. Some time ago
these two aggregations bumped, with
poor results for the Lincoln boys. To
date the Brandeis herd have made a
remarkable record.
