when they were pushed into third
place by losing to the printers, but
they continued to play remarkable
ball and did not give up the ship.
This will be the first time that any
of these players of the Townsend
team have played the championship
honors, and no prediction can be
made as to what they will do, but
those who watched them play dur
ing the past two weeks, since the
Gate City league closed, say that
they will come out in the lead over
the newspaper aggregation;
When they take the field the same
players who won the league cham
pionship will be represented in the
lineup, as they were the only team,
with the exception of the Highland
Parks, WHO did not ask for addi-
tional players.
Manager Satrapa, announced last
night that he had a good chance to
ask for several additional players,
but would rather play the series
with the men that finished the sea-
son, regardless of whether they win
or lose.
Joe Ort, the speedy little south
paw, will be Manager Satrapa's
choice in the opening clash.

BY WILLIAM o. BLOZIES.

All roads lead to Luxus park,
Twenty-fourth and Vinton streets,
this afternoon, where the only two
amateur contests of the day are on
tap, and since both of these battles
are for championship honors, one
of the largest crowds of the season
is expected to be in attendance.
Although the city series battles
thus far have not been of champion
ship style, managers of all the four
teams participating in today's con-
test announced last night that the
spectators will witness the hardest
fought games Of the season, as all
the teams are in the best of condi-
ton and have been practicing hard
for the occasion.
Today's games will again be to
settle the championship honors in
classes c and B.
Eliminated Pharmacys.
Having eliminated the Highland
Park Pharmacys, champions of the
Intercity league, in two straight
games, winning both of them easily,
the World Herald team, champs of
the Booster league, will make their
third appearance in the fight for
class c honors when they lock horns
with the Townsend Gun Co., cham
pions of the Gate City league, in the
first of a three-game series to settle
the class c city honors.
The World Herald Townsend bat
tie will start promptly at 1880
o'clock, while the main event will
start at $50 o'clock.
From information given out at
headquarters last night, the Town.
sends are expected to be victorious
over the newspaper lads, although
the followers of the Gate City league
admit that the Booster league
champs, man for man, are better
team, but nevertheless the support
ers of the Gunners will stick to
their favorites until the end.
The followers of the Gate City
league also admit that the newspa-

have a slight advantage over the

Bee Juniors

Two games are on the program
this morning in The Omaha Bee
Junior Base Ball association, both
for the champ onship of their re-
spective divisions.
In division /, three teams, the ST.
burbus, Woodmen of the World
and the Shamrocks. finished in a
three-cornered tie, with the season
closing last Sunday, while in division
2, the Holmes Juniors and Dorcas
Street Stars ended the league season
in tie for first honors.
This morning at 10 o'clock at Thir-
ty-second and Dewey avenue, the
Suburbus and the Woodmen of the
World teams will fight it out to set
tie the three-cornered tie, and on

Both the Suburbs and Lodgemen
are confident of winning and fast
and exciting contest is anticipated.
McAvoy will be on the firing line
for the Suburbas, while Harold
Mack, who was allowed the Lodge
men last week, to take the place of
Ralph Moore, will heave them over
the rubber for the Woodmen.
Fontenelle park will be the scene
OF the Holmes Juniors-Dorcas Street
Stars battle. Both managers at a
late hour last night were undecided
as to who would pitch for their
team, but it is likely that McAuliffe
will heave them over for the Stars,
while Pat Cahill will be on the
mound for the Holmes. This game
is also scheduled to start at 10

Anmours Lose First
Of Three-Garne Series
to Chicago Giants

The Chicago Union, Giants won
the first game of the series OF three
with the Armours, at Rourke Park
Yesterday afternoon, going IS in
nings to do it. Roscoe Fitch pitched
the entire game for the packers,
while the colored team used three
hurlers, Curry, Marshall and Simp-
son. =,
Five costly errors were chalked
up against the Armour club, but the
errors in judgment, which were
numerous, did not show on the
| score books. Fly balls were over
| run or played for too close to the i'll
field. Plays were made to the bases
| where the least chance of putout
was open.
With all their misplays the pack,
ers played a better game than their
opponents, when they did play ball
Both clubs played an exceptionally
fine game from the eighth inning
The only fault was with Fitch in the
box in the final inning. Pitching
| under adverse circumstances, he
weakened and hit two batsmen.
One run counted on one hit bats
man with the bases full, and three
Dagger by McNair accounted for the
| other three in the last inning. The
same clubs play double bill this

Years Records Show Aver.
age Scoring Power Per
Man, 21.625 Points.

A statistical survey of the records
in foot ball at the University of Ne
braska for the five years past yields
interesting data concerning the
grandeur of the Husker scoring ma
chine. For such has been the chief
characteristic of Scarlet and Cream
Gold teams.
Earring the 1918 season, which can
we'll be labeled war period" the
fruits of victory have been abundant
at Lincoln--there being but four de-
feats in 80 games played. The
"Stiehm-roller" alone polled total
of 446 points to its Is opponents
81 in the years 1914 and 1915.
With Stewart came four defeats.
Kansas Gobbles One.
He brought with him all the hope
of the Golden Pacific, but in his
first year permitted Kansas and
Notre Dame to carry off bacon. 1t
was the first victory the Jay
hawks had garnered in seven years
and was won by the miserable score
of 7 to 3. The following year (l9l7)
the western mentor brought two
additional defeats by Michigan and
Syracuse.
Notre Dame, however, was defeat
ed.
During the five years that have
passed Head Coaches Stiehm, Stew
art and Kline have used an aggre-
gate OF 40 men in the composition Of
their five successive teams. Total
ing the points made by both Corn
huskers and their 18 opponents in
the Sc games played in that time,
the scoring power per man is 21.62s
points per season.

The newly crowned city singles
champion is Will Adams. Adams
defeated Carey in the finals of the
tournament held at the Field club
Yesterday afternoon, rs, 6-3 and

The loser in the final matches
started well, shooting nicely to the
sides and his returns were deep. but
his younger opponent played bril-
liant game. Despite the fact that
Carey won the first four games,
Adams came back strong and won
the first set. The other two sets
were easier, Carey having per
formed his best in the opening set.

1t is interesting to note that the

meet all Corners. The defeat by
Michigan, it is true, made it impos-
s:ble to retain the Yost outfit on the
schedule. But by defeating Notre

The 1919 schedule is replete with
big games. Syracuse and Notre
Dame are the real Smokes" on the
horizon while Oklahoma, Missouri

to cause considerable anxiety at the

are not to be overlooked either. -Four

the city, who was allowed the Riggs
recently by the eligibility and sched-

regular first sacker, will probably be

Pitcher Uncertain.

Manager Pascal of the City
league champs is still uncertain as
to who he will send in against the
Optical lads. Elmer Nufer, the
"ironman," will probably be his
choice, although many of the fol-
lowers state that Sucker, a new
youngster, will make his appearance
in the series.
The Murphy-Did-Its, 1919 pen
nant winners of the class A Greater
Omaha league, will journey to
Greenwood, Neb., this afternoon,
where they will lock horns with
the crack team at that place. The

the Holmes three runs.

Starting promptly at $3.50 o'clock,
the Riggs Optical Co, American
league pennant winners, will clash
with the Unions, City league
champs, in the fight for the city
class B Sunday championship hon
ors.
With one game to their credit, the
Unions" acrding to announcement
made last night BY Manager Pascal,
are confident of making it two
straight over the Optical lads so as
to get the Sunday series over and
meet the Saturday champions.
However, Manager James Baum
gardner and followers and strong
supporters of the Riggs are also con-
f1dent that their favorites will win
and even up matters, so as to make
the third game necessary next Sum
day.
Easy Win Last Week.
The City league champions had an
easy time winning last Sunday, but
Manager Baumgardner and Business
Manager Britton stated that a diff
ferent story will be told in ,today's
fray.
Followers of the Riggs have not
given up hopes and although a lit
tie discouraged over the showing
made last Sunday, have promised to
he on hand again this afternoon and
cheer for their favorites.
1t is understood that Manager
Bau1ngardner will make few
changes in his team and shift the
lineup somewhat. From information
given out last night Manager Baum
gardner will himself take the mound,
and if backed by good support
should win his game.
During the past week the team

throughout the season.
