0, A. B. A. MAY GET
INTO COURT MIXUP
Friends of Carl Stangel Want
Him to Get Writ Of Mitti-
mus Against Association
for Barring Him,
BY FRANK QUIGLEY.

1t was rather wet for a bone dry
state last Sunday, but the Omaha am
ateur baseballists seemed to relish the
wet goods, as none of the mixes were
postponed.
The amateur directors last week
turned a deaf ear to plea for a re-
hearing of Carl Stangel, barred from
base ball because he is alleged to be
holding a sweater belonging to the
Omaha Gas company. The vote on
the rehearing was 6 to 5 in favor OF
the Stangel contingent, but President
Isaacson refused to grant the rehear-
ing on the grounds that tWo-thirds
majority was necessary.
A threat to have Stangel get writ
of mandamus against the Omaha
Amateur association was made by
Stangels' friends last week and Viii
liam Lynch, president of the Nonpa-
Ieil club, offered to do the legal work
connected with such move. So the
Omaha Amateur Base Ball associa-
ton may play some of its base ball
IN the courts.
Tomanecks Overruled.
A few other things happened at the
last convention OF the directors. The
protested bout between the Tomaneks
and VIII Newsboys was ordered to
remain as played, a to 4 victory for
the Newsboys. 1t was protested be-
cause the adjudicator called the fuss
at the end Of the seventh paragraph
because of rain.
A motion was introduced and
passed unanimously that the Walnut
Hill Athletics and the Townsends
should cough up their forfeits and
dues before the next meeting Of the
association or be suspended until the
detection was remedied. These two
teams are members of the American
league.
Although the Townsends are not
mourning over the recent shutout ad-
ministered by the National Cash Reg
listers, they were in a sadly depleted
condition. ]. King and Clifford Cole
were entertaining sprained ankles.
Manager w. E. Wolfe owns broken
arm. Carl Lutes was spiked, as a con-
sequence an ugly wound is adorning
one of his shins. Selden Smith, their
curvester, tore a few muscles loose
in his back and Coke Carmody was
tipped in the attic with a fast one
and he was seeing stars instead of
base balls. And the latest bulletin
received says that Manager w. F.
Wolfe will have to unharness from
the managerial reins, according to his
physician, because of his nervous
temperament he will in a couple of
weeks be candidate for sanitarium.
Carl Lutes is assigned to the task Of
leadership temporarily.
Dennison Pulls Neat Trick.
Although reported that Guy Hol-
land, kinker for the Melady Maver-
icks, has quit base ball, the wise boys
nave pegged slick maneuver by Dy-
namo Dennison. Fans remember that
Dennison and Holland are business
partners as the proprietors of the
West Side pill dispensatory. Holland
will not sign up with any other team,
put II the Mavericks need him It Will
and resign Holland. 1t is a two to
one shot that Holland will wiggle sew
eral games for the Melady Mavericks
this season.
Tie in Greater Omaha !.
