Pennant Races Uncertain.
1t is still uncertain as to who the
1919 pennant winners will be, and
from present indications, it is like
ly the championship will not be
settled until the final contest is
staged, and in few instances, affl-
Gals predict that an extra series will
be played to determine the winners.
Following leagues will bid fare
we'll to the 1919 season on July q.
The city and American, class B
leauges; Inter-City and Gate City,
class C circuits; the Booster league,
another class c circuit will make
their final appearance two weeks
from today, while the Church and
Commercial leagues, two Saturday
afternoon organizations, will close
on July 10 and July 26 respectively.
In the Booster league, theTrim-
bic brothers, who hail from the
south part of town, known as
"Sheeley-town," are picked by
many of the followers to carry off
the championship honors for 1919,
although it is likely that the World
Herald crew will give them a hard
fight. The fruitmen are leading by
few games, as they have played
two more than the newspaper guys,
but both the teams have lost but one
game. The Trimbles will be awarded
forfeit game from the Daily News,
while the World Herald team plays
the Nancy Milling company. 1t is
understood that the Millers have
disbanded for the season, and should
this be the case, the Herald's will
also be given forfeit game.
The Ramblers started out like
pennant winners in the Booster
league, but met with considerable
hard luck and as the result have lost
three games.
Pearl Memorials Winners.
With the closing of the Church
league next Saturday, the Pearl
Memorials, under the managerial
reigns of George Parrish, we'll
known in local amateur baseball cir
cles, have won the championship of
that league for the 1919 season. The
Pearls have played great bali this
season and have fought hard for
their contests.
In the Commercial league, the
other Saturday afternoon league, the
Item Biscuit Co. are leading that
lea que and are picked as favorites
for the 1919 championship. Their
nearest rivals, the Orchard Wilhelm
team, who were picked by many to
give the leaders a hard fought race,
have withdrawn from the league for
the season. According to Manager
Yates, Of the storemen, they were
we'll pleased with the league and
with the officials, but ON account of
business reasons were forced to
withdraw. Yesterday they forfeited
their game to the Bemis Bag team.
Many Feature Games.
Many feature games are on the
program today, and the followers of
the national game will be we'll at
forded with plenty of excitement,
as the games in practically all of
the leagues will have a, great bear
ing on the championshipTace.
At Riverview park, probably the
greatest attraction of the day will
take place, as both of the contests
have a great bearing on the league
standing. The main event, starting
at $50 o'clock, will be put on by the
crack Brandeis Store team and the
Murphy-Did-Its, the latter team in
tie for first place with the Holmes
White Sox in the race for the Great
er Omaha league flag.
Should the Brandeis Store be vic
torious they will go in tie for sec
ond place with the blacksmith crew
and put the Holmes in the lead.
Manager Marty O'Toole announced
last night that he has strengthened
his line-un considerably since their
