Four Games Slated as Feature Contests on Amateur Program for Today — —1.1 ' 1 - All Teams Evenly Matched: Fans Mav Take Choice J Every Diamond Is in Use for Day; K. of C.-Standard Laundry Meet Looks Best. Ol'R good games are on the card this afternoon for the followers of the Metropolitan league, and any one In a quandary as to what game they should at tend can hie themselves out to any of the four contests and they will no doubt see a good game. The most important of the four games will he 'the Knights of Columbus Standard Laundry contest at Fort ; Omaha and’ the Murphy-Carter Lake , game at the Carter Lake club. The Standard laundry and the Knights mix in the first amateur game to be played this season at Fort Omaha under the auspices of the ( Municipal Baseball association and will decide second place in the loop. Four teams are now tied for second ► honors. The four are the Standards, Knights, Woodmen of the World and tlie Carter Lakes. The Laundry team will present the same lineup that it started Hip season with, with one exception. Art Wolcott, former Council Bluffs amateur, will replace Dick Wages at second base. The Knights will present a strong lineup. They have changed their infield since the start of the championship race and now have three youngsters and one veteran in Shanahan, first base: Nick, second base; .1. >1. Mi rasky, shortstop. gild Phil Tracy, third ha. *. The veteran Art Dyck will do the pitching lor the Laundry men, while either Garvey or Pavlik will he Manager lladura's choice on the hill for the Knights. This game will start promptly at 3:30 o'clock and no admission will be charged. At the Carter Lake club the Carter Lakes say they are gob'g to hand Ike Mahoney's Murphy-Dfd its their first trimming of the season. The Mur phys, who are leading the loop, arc two games ahead of the four teams who are tied for aecond place. The Carter Lakes, xvho are one of the four teams tied for second, must win to kcip their place In the champion ship race. The Lakemen strength ened their lineup considerably last week when they signed Art Swartz, the hard-hitting Tech high catcher. The Murphys added George SuteJ to their lineup. Georg# can play the infield or outfield and will no doubt fit nicely into the auto mens win ,_ning crew. The Woodmen of the World, who meet the Schneider Electrics at Fon lenellc park, will again have flic serv ices of Fred.Krajicek, home run king of the Metro loop of last season. Tills will necessitate another change in the Woodmen’s lineup and tins Kud lacz w ill again be cat second base and Krajicek will play center field with Jimmy Moore and .lack Tracy taking care of the other two outer gardens. The Schneiders, who have been pla> in«; a great brand of ball all season, will no doubt give the Fraternal men a hard battle. Krupski will pitch for Hie Woodmen, while Custer will prob ably do likewise for «h> Electric men. The 17. P. Enginbmen-Pollce game at Muny Beach will decide the cellar position. The IT. P. Enginemen hold that honor now. The Police team, despite the fact that It has been crip pled by the loss of two of their best men, is still giving the Metro load ers a ltai'd run. This will bo the third game for the reorganized En ginemen, xvho hax e made a very' creditable showing In their last two games.
