SP0ILS LOCAL
AMATEUR GAMES
Secretary J. J. Isaacson After
Inspection, Announces To-
cal Base Ball Fields in
No Condition to Play.
By WILLIAM o. BLOZIES

Old Put Jupiter, instead OF the
stars of diamonds played the most
important part in local amateur
baseball circles yesterday and as the
result of the games scheduled by
the teams of the various leagues,
members of the Municipal Amateur
Baseball association were called off
for the second time this season.
The teams were all anxious to
stage their battles on account of
having several postponed games to
play, and in many cases the players
ourncyed out to the various fields
TO see whether the diamonds were
n condition but upon arriving at
the parks. the caretakers announced
that the fields were in no condi-
ton to play on and swimming and
boat riding were not allowed"
By the postponement of yester-
days contest the followers of the
national pastime lost their oppor-
tunity to see some snappy playing
as the schedules were chucked full
of exciting games and was to have
been the best staged thus far.
Secretary J. ]. Isaacson made a
tour of the parks and left word at
headquarters that the games were
postponed. 1t is expected that
crowds will turn out next time that
these teams clash.
Double headers will probably be
on the program by these teams
when they meet in the third round
of the schedule, unless twilight"
games will be staged. Secretary
isaacson could not be reached but is
is understood that he is in favor of
the twilight" idea.
However in the Omaha Bee
Junior association two games were
staged out of the nine scheduled. In
Division 2 the Dorcas Street Stars
and the Leavenworth Merchants
Juniors staged a seven-inning bat
tie, which resulted in to 8 score
for the Stars. This game was play
ed at Twenty ninth and Burt streets.
In Division 3, the Walnut Hill Mer
chants lost to the Meyers Bear
Cats" by IS to score, at Fortieth
and Burt streets, in the opening
game OF that division.
The Vinton Cubs and the Krug
Park Sluggers also of Division 3,
attempted to play their game at
Forty-ninth and Pratt streets, but
quit after playing two rounds on &C
count of the muddy field.
1t was reported that the Farnam

Candy Co. defeated the Omaha Bee
team by to 4 score in five inn
ings, but the Bee team. according to
Manager Mike Stein had but three
players in the lineup. Manager
Stein announced that the manager
Of the Farnam team called him up
and said that Creighton Field was
in no condition to play on but that
the Central High school grounds
were O. X. Many of the Bee play
ers went to the high school grounds
but when their opponents failed to
show up they went to Creighton
Field where they found the teams
playing. However, according to-
Stein the Farnam Candy team re-
fused to play after the fifth round,
the game was protested by Stein
and will be settled at the meet
ing of the association Tuesday night
at 8 o'clock when the managers OF
the association will meet at the ply
steal directors Office at the Y. NJ.
c. A.
All managers of the teams of divi-
sion |, , and 3 are urged to be pres
ent, as this meeting will be of great
importance. Managers only will be
admitted. ~
Another team. the Rambler Jun-
ors. managed by Louis Semared,
have applied for a franchise in divi-
sion 3, and any other team under II
years wishing to join are urged to
attend the meeting Tuesday night.
Twilight" games will be fea-
ture in the Omaha Bee Junior Base
Bail association this week. The
teams of the three divisions have
been ordered to play off their games
of yesterday and viii probably clash
Wednesday evening, although it will
be announced in the sport page OF
The Bee Tuesday. Recreation Di-
rector Isaacson, who issues the per-
mits to the teams, could not be
reached late last night.

Central High School
Nine to Play South Hi
Cadet Enca1npment

Central Highs base ball nine will
have a chance to get back at the
South High sluggers Thursday when
the two combinations clash in an ex-
hibition game to be played at the
Central High school cadet encamp-
ment grounds at Valley, Neb.
Thursday is visitors day at the
camp. South and Central each won
and lost when they met in the high
school league games.
The Central Commerce High game
in the last round of the high school
league schedule has not yet been
played. 1t is billed to come off on
Central field. When, however,
Coach Hill, Central mentor, asked
that the game be played at the cadet
sncampment, the business boys
baked. Rumor has it that the game
may be given the boys from the big
school by default.
The Central sluggers are all in
good shape. Logan, Ia, was dis
posed of handily Friday at Logan.
To keep in good trim the Centralites
have organized company mines and
will stage a series of games at the
camp. Company A has Baker, Man
gold and Somberg OH its roll, while
B has Hob Turner and Eddie Vlach
and a bunch of green stuff

CHAMPIONS RING
PARTNER SAYS
JACK CAN'T HURT
HempIe Declares willard
Could Stand With Hands
Tied and Challenger Could
Not Injure Him.

Lawrence, Kan, June Tits a
tough job to act as Jess Wizards
sparring partner now" said Jack
! Hemple yesterday as he and the
championship defender stepped from
a train to spend day with the lat
ter's family before pursuing his
Journey to Toledo.
Il can see my finish if he doesn't
get two or three good huskies to
help out at Toledo. | can't stand
mailing around with him much
longer.
"Ill tell you what I think of
Dempsey's chances and I've seen
Dempsey in two fights. think Jess
could stand up before Dempsey with
his hands at his sides and Dempsey
couldn't hurt him or knock him
down. l think Dempsey will tire
out in four or five rounds-if he
goes that long"
Soldier Gets Odds on Willard.
On the train a soldier astonished
Willard by telling him he had bet
$50 on him against $500 on Demp-
sey. Jess laughed uproariously.
We'll, boy, you've got the best
bet in the world" he said. Il don't
bet myself. but if I got any odds
like to two to one against me, I'd
be mighty tempted to take it. Your
friend must know Dempsey and like
him lot. It's my opinion you
ought ito be giving him two or three
ought to be giving him two or three
Referring to his bodily equipment
for the coming fight, Willard said:
mo fighter with small waist ever
made good. I never had a small
waist. | have plenty of muscle
around my waist with just enough
fat over it to act as cushion. A
body punch never hurts me. A
fighter needs just enough fat to keep
him from sweating during fight.
Unless he has, he gets hot inside. I
carried little extra weight around
the waist at Havana and l was in
shape to fight all day"
Toledo Admirers Disappointed.
Toledo, O., June l.-Hundreds of
admirers of Jess Willard damned
the Union station here last night in
anticipation of the arrival of the
heavyweight champion, but were
disappointed, as Big Jess stopped
off day at his home in Lawrence,
Kan, to visit his wife and five chill
dren before proceeding here to re-
sumo training for his contest with
Dempsey July 4. When Tex Rick
ard learned that Willard halted at
Lawrence for day, he smiled and
said he did not blame him bit.
