AMATEUR PLAYERS TO
SEE 'CRICkETS' OPEN
Members of Colored Amateur League

at Western League Initial
Contest
GUESTS OF PRESIDENT BURCH

All members of the Omaha Colored
Amateur Baseball league will see the
opening game of the Western league
at Omaha next Thursday afternoon,
as the guests of President Barney"
Burch Of the Omaha "Crickets."
Mr.. Burch and the management of
the local entry in the Western derby
has decided to invite every amateur
in Omaha to attend the opening game
next Thursday afternoon, free of
charge, if they will come to the park
in the uniform of the ball club on
which they play.
Mr.. Burch has asked US to especial
ly invite all players to accept his
invitation.
Indications show that Omaha has
real ball team this year. They are
consistently winning their exhibition
games and are playing real, honest
to-goodness baseball under the man
agement of Fred Luderus, the veter-
an pilot.
Mr.. Burch says that he has ex-
pended $4,000 in assembling his
team of 'tCrickets" this year and is
confident the team will finish one
two.
The old stereotyped form of open
ing day ceremonies have been done
away with this year, with an entirely
new plan of entertainment before the
game between Omaha and the Denver
Bears. A nationally known troupe of
comedians and a clown band will
make the moments before ''play ball"
is called pass merrily.
Johnny" Evers, the veteran Chi
cago bali player of the famous
"Evers to Tinker to Chance" combin-
alton, will attend the game and will
have part in the opening ceremony.
Tom Mix and Tony will be there, as
will President Dale Gear of the West
ern league.
In all, it will be a great day and
you should make your seat reserva-
tions now, for large crowd is anti
cipated.
Colored people of Omaha will sup
port a really good ball team, and let's
all turn out and show our apprecia-
ton of the team Mr.. Burch promises
and also our appreciation of this kind
invitation to all amateur ball players.
The gong sounds at 2:30. Be there

MCMILLAN ORGAN ADMITS
THAT GANG HAS SINGLETON
MARKED FOR SLAUGHTER
AMT POLITICS GRAND?
(From The Omaha Guide)

Politics is grand, but the brand
being served now in Omaha is what
you might call a huge mess. Well
meaning, but uniformed members of
our group are going around in circles
crying "wolf, WOLF" when the only
thing necessary is to stop and con-
slider the conditions and circumstances
as they really exist, calling SPADE
SPADE.
The objective desired by each mem
Der of the race should be that the
two seats we now hold in the state
| legislature be retained for the race.
/ The best method of reaching this
objective should be found and car
ried out despite our personal feelings
or clannish inclinations.
To this end The Guide, feeling it's
duty to its readers and to the com
munity, has made some extensive in
vestigations and herewith presents
them for your guidance. THEY
SAY, two years ago the campaign of
DR.. Singleton was financed and con-
Quoted by the MACHINE (whoever
that isl, and after being elected with
their unlimited support, DR.. Singleton
turned TRAITOR to his benefactors.
With the unlimited support of the
aforesaid MACHINE, Singleton was
nominated with a majority of only
115 votes. The question naturally
arises, what would have been the re-
suit without this support? Now be-
cause of Singleton's ingratitude the
aforesaid MACHINE has passed the
word down the line that they will not
only withdraw their support from
Singleton, but will get squarely be-
hind ANYBODY to see that Singleton
is defeated. Regardless of how de-
plorable this may seem, it is fact,
and fact with which we must reckon
if we wish to retain the seat in the
Legislature.
1t has been suggested that either
Singleton or Mcmillan withdraw from
the race. If Mcmillan, for instance,
should withdraw, could Singleton win
with the handicaps outlined above,
together with the fact that many of
our race leaders (?) worked and vot-
ed against him at the last election?
The aforesaid MACHINE says it
will go the limit to bring about his
defeat. 1t behooves us then to get
behind someone who has not these
handicaps. Mcmillan foresaw this
lpredicament and seeing no other Ne
gro had filed in the district he, at
the last minute, filed, thereby placing
himself on the sacrificial altar of pub
lie opinion for the sake of the race.
With the above facts before US,
common sense should direct the
course to pursue, if we desire col
ored man to represent the Ninth legis-
lative district at Lincoln. All of
which proves that politics is grand
