It has been reported that Stranger
Lewis will challenge the winner of
the Pesek-Olin wrestling match to
be held in the Omaha Auditorium
on March q. The report did not
say whether the Stranger would be
at the ringside or not. DIN will
have to be a great wrestler to have
anything on Farmer John and local
fans would like to see a Lewis
Pesek match. If DIN should topple
Pesek over the Omaha fans would be
just as anxious to see an Olin-Lewis
match.
The mayor of Carroll Ia, is
planning a wrestling tourney in the
Iowa town some time during the
month of March. Joe Stagl hopes to

The Greater Omaha leaguers
haven't come to bat with any plans
for the proposed semi-pgo league
yet, Delwar of the Armours says
he is ready to meet with the others
at any time but the others are not
so ready. 1t looks like the case of
the two pugnacious black boys who
wanted to fight but one was afraid
and the other dassent. Earl Hig-

else seems to want to take the re-

The action Of the Amateur asso-
citation directors in forming a mu-
nicipal league and doing away with
the old organization is quite conf
mendable. This Will give the simon
pures the chance they deserve. Anna
teur base ball is really the backbone
of the national game and sheuld be
encouraged. If it wasn't for the
amateurs there wouldn't be many
great players developed. All the
great players of the game have
graduated from the amateur ranks,
first going into semi-pro base ball
and thence into the charmed pro
circle, some of them to win indy
ing fame as pitchers, felders or hit
tiers.
