lack Frost Causes Postpone
ponement Of Many Games;
Pitchers Fear to Cut Lose
on Frigid Day.
By FRANK QUIGLEY.\

Evidently Jack Frost is playing hide
and seek with the members of the
Omaha Amateur Base Ball association
for it is a sure plunge he was in the
neighborhooG yesterday. Cool at.
mospherc conditions we're respon-
sibie for the postponed games.
Some of the cherry smashers are
not in love with nursing sore lunch
hook and aching bones, consequently
these sugar coated animals found a
more approp tate place to spend their
hours of leisure yesterday afternoon
But the balance are hungry for
base ball and Christmas weather does
not toss them off the track and even
the fans are ready to gobble up the
brand of base ball dished up, even it
it is necessary for them to jig around
in their heavy togs in order to re-
main comfortable during the show.
Some Brave Jack Frost,
OF course, the stands were rather
bearish, but there was quite bunch
that decorated the side lines at the
various municipal lots.
With one exception all the games
in the major league were postponed
the exception being the bout between
the Krajiceks and the Council Bluffs
Longeways.
All the battles billed in the Ameri-
can league were pulled off. The
largest score in this league was COM
piled by the Sample Harts. Said crew
danced over the pan with 20 runs,
while the opposition gathered
quartet.
In this battle McKeague,
stranger in these woods, introduced
himself by betting the pill to the
remote corners of the lot. During
the argument he collected pair of
drives for the limit and two for the
half way station. Pinault twirled
grand ball, keeping the slugging
Trimbles low in the belt 'em column.
All Boosters Play.
The Booster league came over the
hill with clean slate. Four battles
billed and all delivered. ...
The four glimmed Riggs Optical
gang battled for eleven rounds with
the Towusends and when the curtain
was pulled it was found that each
contingent had picked UP seven
counters. This is the initial knotted
battle of this season going eleven
innings.
Only a. runs was the total am
massed during the y-Davidson-
Homesteads jamboree. The Home
stead kids showed spurts of speed and |
copped the heavy end of q to IS
score.
In the Intercity league the Daily
News children were busy pumping air
to make the grade around the paths. |
This bunch rolled up IS runs while
the Graham Ice Creams hooked 4.
Well, ice cream doesn't travel at a
fast clip in cool weather. Just wait
until the torrid days roll around and
the Graham Ice Creams will uncover
the real article.
Another wrangle went over the
limit the quarrel between the Dresh-
ers and Phillips Dept. Store, the
Dreshers coping the long end in the
10th stanza by 8 to 5.
Kraijs Go Fast.
Although the Kraijiceks of the
Greater Omaha league looked like
tail-enders to many when the bell
rang they are still grabbing the
gravy Yesterday they trimmed the
much touted team across the pond,
namely the c. B. Longeways, to the
tune Of 9 to S.
In the City league Morris & Co.
upset the dope of the Central Fur
niture Store and~won, while the Ma
tional Cash Register handed a lemon
to the Stays: Last season the Stays
had a clean slate until close to the
finish.
Next Thursday the American league
will convene and settle the disputed
game between the Florence Mer-
chants and Triinble Bros.
The principals of the various
schools have been looking for Joe
Waverin, who has charge Of the en-
closed parks, jointly with Jacobs and
lsaacson. 1t seems as though they
are unable to get Waverin when
needed. They can use the parks for
the school kids at any time, accord
ing to Wsverin. whether or not he is
