municipal diamonds and SO were
apples some years age, but it would
take an army of bluecoats to stop it
and even then a few leaks that no
plumber could repair would be notice
able. Madam Rumor has it that ap-
proximately $3.50 changed hands dur
ing the Townsends-N National Cash
Registers fuss. Money has been Of
fered by the hackers of various teams
as an incentive to snag the bacon. 1t
was said, that Mayor Dahlman offered
the pitcher of the Dahlman Knights
FIVE spot if he succeeded in whipping
the Brodegaard Crowns, formerly the
Tradesmen. Mr.. Trimble, backer OF
the Trimble Bros, recently was
very generous during the Trim
BILE s.-Dahlman Knights jamboree.
One of the pillars of the National
Cash Registers attended the Regis
ters-Omaha Bicycle Indians contest
and deposited some of his dough with
the players. Other similar incidents,
although smaller amounts were Of
fered, which are too numerous to men
ton, have happened. Said stunts
woke up the directors of the Omaha
Amateur Base Ball association and as
consequence an amendment was
added to the constitution to prohibit
player or players from accepting
public donations. If found guilty the
penalty is suspension for thirty days
The protested game between the
Dahlman Knights and Trimble Bros
was ordered to stand as played. Pro-
tested game between the Townsends
and Walnut Hill Merchants, which
was forfeited to the, gunners by the
adjudicator during the sixth inning,
was ordered replayed. The Beddeos
protested their last mix with the
Krajiceks, but the protest was referred
back to the Metropolitan league for
action. In a written communication
to the association, Manager Wig OF
Alpha Camp, Woodmen OF the World,
requested that a rehearing be granted
him because of the. decision of the
board of directors, that his team
should replay game it won from the
Western Union. When the decision
was made, supposed to be competent
witnesses testified that Wigg agreed
to replay the game in question and
the board ruled he should follow out
his original intention, althoug h il
nske an arreement of that kind unles.
