SEASON IS ON;
AMATEUR LADS
BEGIN TO ROAR


crs and Perfection Heaters have not
fully organized their teams, but they
expect to be in the game by next
Saturday.
The Cookers ought to be able to
take care of the Grease and Oil
crews, and the Heaters should make
1t warm for the Cookers, but neverthe-
less the Red Crown Gasolines, accord
ing to Bill Ammons, their manager,
are going to flow up into first place.
Leaders to Clash.
In all probability the best tussle
billed for today viii, be unloaded at
Luxus park when t1se Murphy Did
Its and Krajiceks shake paws. Both
squads will cross the tape with a
clean slate. Both own an average of
1000 in the percentage column, and
are leading the procession in the
Greater Omaha league. Both can not
lead when the shades are pulled this
evening so followers of both squads
are anticipating a torrid argument.
Potach will probably wing 'em for
the b1acksmiths and Peter Mccoy
will heave EN- for the Krajiceks.
The wind last week took whack
at the money box of the association.
About 50 feet of the fence on the
east side of Holmes park got tired
and the wind helped it to a bed of
rest. Of course the kids in the
neighborhood have had pleasant
dreams of witnessing a game today
without being bothered about climb
ing over the fence, but according to
Frank Jacobs, custodian of the park,
said dreams will continue in dream
land for the fence will be raised to
life before the bell tingles this after
noon.
