WITH SIOUX CITY

Omaha Semi-Pros to Take On
Second Western League

Ability to Fans.

Far from being discouraged b!
the two defeats administered by thu
Omaha Western league ball club
the semi-pro Armours are delightes
with their showing and will tackl,
a second Western loop club mex
Sunday in a game with the Siou,
City, Ia, team in the backyard lo
Of the Sioux Citizens. This game
will give Western league followers
a line on the playing ability of the
Rourkes, as well as the Armour:
opponents and the Des MONIES club
Des MONIES and Omaha will play
here on the same day. Should the
Omaha leaguers trim the Des
Moines club and the Armours
trounce Sioux City it will give the
local fans plenty of hopes for TIE
Omaha club aud confidence in their
ability to step out in front III the
league race.
Managers Delaware and Williams
of the packers team announce that
they will have probably the same
lineup against the Sioux City team
that they presented in the games
with the Omaha club. Hayes, Dyke
and Potach will do the f1inging,
Williams the catching and Graves,
Collins, Dygert and Payne will
cover the outer gardens, with Cor
coran, M. Collins, Synek and Ryan
on the infield. Another pitcher,
Hirsch, may accompany the team
on the trip. Dygert will lead the
batting list. with Al Graves follow
ing him. Synek will be the third at
bat, with Williams in the cleanup
position, and Corcoran behind
Harry to bring the leader around.
The Collins boys will follow, Jim
first and then Marty and "Chugs"
Ryna will whale after them and the
pitcher will poke after "Chuggsy"
gets through. The Armour people
have no idea who will compose the
lineup of their oDponentS.

DES MONIES and
Omaha TO PLAY
THREE GAMES
Pa Rourke's Outfit to TangIe
With Tom FairWeather's
Club In a Series to Start
Tomorrow.

Western league ball fans will have
! their eyes on Omaha Saturday. Sun.
day and Monday when the Omaha
and Des Moines clubs play a series
of three games. After the series
both teams will start south to open
the season in Tulsa and Wichita, re-
spectively. This will be an oppor-
tunity for the league followers to
Judge the relative strength of the
two teams and after the first few
games of the season, they will have
an idea of how they compare with
the other clubs in the circuit.
These will be the last exhibition
games for the Omaha club, as the
Rourkes open the regular season
at Tulsa on the 30th. Manager
Jackson will present practically the
same . lineup in the Des Moines
games as faced the Armour semi
pros in the games at Rourke park
the last two Sundays. Hale, the
catcher purchased from the ST.
Louis Americans, will probably bear
the brunt of the backstopping and
Townsend, the southpaw pitcher
secured from San Antonio, will prob
ably get a chance to throw some
against the Iowa team.
The lineup of the Des Moines
team is not at hand at this writing.
but Jackson has given his as: Out
fielders, Hanzen, Thompson, Ba-
shang and Kirby; infielders, Donica
Gislason, Cable and Jackson;
catchers, Corderman and Hale
pitchers, Merz, Townsend, Manske,
kopp, Fuhr and Robinson. He
thinks that with this aggregation
of crack players he will wallop the
Des Moines tribe and when the
Western loop opens for business he
will step out in front.

Grand hotel, that the British pre-

crecy still seals the lips of the three
American emissaries, but it can be
said that they are certain this Brit
ish concession means the eventual
invitation of the Irish delegates to
Paris and doubtless the admission of
Ireland to the league of nations.
This signalizes one of the most
results of the peace con-
ference's work-the freeing of
