mphyDM Win Western Amateur Title From Gordons of Pau
Sandlot AA Championship
Easily Captured by Omaha
Locals Score at Will in Game Witnessed by Crowd Es
timated at II 000-Victory Entities Team to Play in
Cleveland for u. S. Title.
BY ]. A. SHANAHAN

The Murphy-Didlts, champions
OF Omaha's Class A amateur base
ball teams, won the western amateur
championship yesterday afternoon at
Fontenelle park by decisively defeat
ing the Gordon-Ferguson clan from
St Paul, champions of Class AA in
the Twin Cities. The final count was
IA to 4. 1000 persons saw the game
By virtue OF yesterdays victory.
Bert Murphy, baeker OF the winners,
will take his team to Cleveland soon
to meet the eastern champions. The
winners of the Cleveland clash will
hold the title of amateur base ball
champions of the coutry.
The Omahans dazzled the north
erners yesterday in every depart
ment of the game.
Visitors Are Outclassed.
The locals were seasoned veterans
compared to the visitors. They out
hit, outhelded and outgeneraled the
northern champs in the field, while
Butch" Hay made monkeys Of
them when they stepped up to hit,
Stagefright, too, writhing its way
into the hearts and knees of the visi-
tors. helped to make their defeat so
complete.
To Harry Williams and Butch
Hay, Bert Murphy's stellar battery,
should go large per cent of the
credit for yesterdays victory.
Williams batted 1000 per cent,
garnering three hits out of as many
times to bat. His backstopping was
supreme despite the testimony of
the error column in the box score.
Two errors are chalked up against
him. Both were excusable. The
first was a high throw to "Clink"
Claire and the second occurred when
he dropped the ball at home plate
after a tangle with runner.
Hay whitfield 10 men. He kept their
II hits scattered and had perfect
control all during the nine frames.

mrs, SWANSON
HAD TO MuFFLE
THETELl.E!PH0NE |
Nerves Were All Upset from
Four Years of Poor Health.
Gains Twenty Pounds.

"For the benefit of the thou
sands who are suffering from
stomach trouble and a run down
condition I want to tell Of the won
derful results I have gotten from
the use of Tanlac," said Mrs. Lena
Swanson of 1920 North Madison
street, Peoria, Illinois, in relating
her remarkable experience with the
medicine, a few days ago.
"My friends are simply amazed"
she continued. "They all say am
now the picture of health. Why,
just today, one Of my friends told
me l was looking ten years younger,
and I certainly do feel that way,
too. I have already gained twenty
pounds in weight and have just
finished my fifth bottle Of Tanlac.
ut was eight years ago, or more,
that my stomach got out Of order
and my health began to fail. ! fi-l
nally got to feeling so badly that I
lost interest in everything, gave up
my church work, and found littls
pleasure in life. Ny food acted like
poison to my system. ! would bloat
up with gas until / did not look nat
ural and just suffer agony. My
heart would flutter, from the ef-
fects of this gas, and weaken me un-
til I would almost faint. I would
get so dizzy at times that the
house seeemd to be whirling
round. No one knows, unless they
have suffered the same way, how
miserable did feel. I at last got
to where l had to almost stop eat
ing and became so run down and
weak it was all I could do to get
about the house. My nerves were 50
shattered that the least noise
would upset me. I finally had to
muffle the telephone as I would
almost jump out Of my chair when
it rang. I slept but little at night
and seldom woke up in the morn
ings without a dull, nagging head
ache.
"My friends would call and SYM
pathize with me, but now they re-
joice with me and go way praising
Tanlac. One day my brother, who /
had used Tanlac with fine results,
brought me bottle and talked me
into trying it. Well, when I finished
that bottle my appetite had re-
turned, and I could eat better, and
sleep better than in years. ! didn't
feel quite so nervous either, and
then knew / had at last found the
medicine I needed. I had been suf-
fering so long and was in such a
badly run down condition that it
took several bottles of Tanlac to
straighten me out, but anyone can
look at me now and see that / am
enjoying good health. / can now
eat meats, pickle, cabbage, in fact,
just anything and never have the
least trouble with my stomach. MY
nerves are as calm and l sleep as
soundly as when l was a child. III
am just so grateful and happy for
the return of my health that II
want to tell everybody about Tan
lar. / never grow tired praising it
to my friends"

UNIONS LOSE TO
ST.PAUL CHAMPS
IN CLOSE GAME
Omaha Team Loses Glass A
Amateur Title to CardozoS
by 1-to-0 Score in
Fast Battle.
BY WILLIAM O BLOZIES

Lexington Park, st. Paul, Mimi,
Sept. l4.-(Special.) )-One lone run
decided the western amateur cham
pionship here this afternoon for the
class A title. when the crack Car
dozos, champions of the St. Paul
amateur base ball association, were
victors over the the Union Outfit
ting Co., Class B, city champions of
the Omaha municipal amateur base
ball associa ton in the final game for
the title. The score was l to O.
From start to finish the game was
hard fought and it was one of the
best played amateur championship
contsts ever witnessed in this city.
Both teams were in the best of con-
dition and displayed plenty OF pep
throughout the game.
To Fred Moore, the crack right
handler, goes the credit of winning
the championship for St. Paul, as
he was invincible and did not allow
the Omaha champs a hit or run
The crack hurler also drove out the
hit, a clean single to center field, in
the fifth frame that brought in the
only tally.
Errors Lose Game.
Neither team was able to send a
man across until the fifth, when
Bauman, the first man up, reached
the initial sack on an error by Sko-
NAL, which the third sacker should
have easily caught. He advanced to
second on another error by Gui-
notte.
The northern champs secured
four hits off Elmer Nufer, the big
hurler for the Omaha team, but St.
Paul deserved but one of them, as
the other should have been fielded.
Moore was given brilliant support
by his teammates. although three
errors were registered against them.
Klue, at short; Lang, at first and
Bauman at second fielded a bril-
liant game for the locals. The hit.
ting of Lang also featured. Chubby"
Potter, the star first sacker, played
brilliant fielding game for the
Omaha champs
Although defeated, the Union
Outfittlng company were in the best
OF spirits as it was no disgrace to
lie beaten by team much stronger
than they are and the Cardozos are
considered better and fascer team
than the acknowledgements who
were playing the Murphy-Did-Its at
Omaha today.

Grand Circuit Races
at Columbus to Be
for $4,000 Purses

Columbus, O., Sept. 14.-For the
fall Grand circuit race meeting of
two weeks, beginning tomorrow,
around $4,000 will be offered in
class and stake.
There are two outstanding fea-
lures in the meeting. For the first
time a Columbus program will be
operated on the three-heat plan,
save for the early closing stakes
and two or three-class events, in
which the Jones plan of racing, in
which horses standing low in the
summary are retired at the end of
the third heat at the discretion of
the judges.
For the first time also full bat
terry of pari-mutuel betting machines
will be in use, the July trial of a
few machines having proved very
satisfactory. OF all the events list
ed but one, the free fora trot looks
to be unlikely to fill.
