INTEREST FOISTS TO BIG YEAR By FRANK QUIGLBV. During the last few days the diamond buss has sure been buzzing. All the local base ball heavers are anxiously waiting new for the weather to round Into shape and then they will proceed to get Into shape for the ensuing season. Spring is bound to spring In on us before many days glide by; then the boys can get out their trusty or ruatry base ball Junk and commence operating In earnest, From present Indications the prospects are rather alluring for a season that will sur pass all others. More interest has al ready been evinced In local toase ball circles than ever before since amateur base ball started to boom. Arrangements have been made for the class A teams to again utilise the Fort Omaha diamond, so they will at least be as well off In that respect aa last season. There Is a movement on foot to endeavor to arrange matters so admission can be charged at Fort Omaha, Last season the amateurs were compelled to dig down in their own Jeans and cough up the ma xuma for the upkeep of the grounds at Fort Omaha. If a small fee can be charged It will overcome this obstacle, which is very detrimental to base balL Lnu Park to Opes. Another park, to be known as the Luxua park, will decorate the scenery. It will be located, at Twaoty-eourth and Vin ton streets and will be utilized by the Luxus congregation. For years this team has been especially anxious to secure a park of their own so they could' do a little of the barking themselves without letting the opposition tell them where te get off at. They will erect bleachers and a small fee will be charged. Already eight leagues that will Join the Omaha Amateur association are nearly perfected. By this time next week these eight leaguea will be ready to start the fireworks. If climatic conditional prove favorable, they will probably start their preliminary training next Hun day. Hero are the varloua leagues that will congre gate at the city hall this week and en deavor to finish up their business prepara tory to entering the Omaha Amateur association: The Commercial and Mer cantile leagues will meet on Monday night. The American league will meet on Tueaday night. The Saturday ClaM A. City. Sunday Class A and Booster leagues will meet on Thursday night. The other class C league will probably meet on Thursday night. Just as soon as the dif ferent leagues get matters well oiled the board of directors of the Omaha Amateur association will hold a meeting and get things lined up for the ensuing season. B la-Tea a Leaswr. One of the class "C" leagu .nmely, the Booster league, decided t .ve six teams. They elected Uoyd JoIh.mjii, pres ident, and Harry Kubby, secretary. The following teams will comprise this league: G. A. Nelsons, Uarrltt Pharmacy. J D. Crews, Williams Pharmacy and Mon mouth Parks No. a The olass "A" Sunday base ball man ipulators decided to organise a league to be composed of seven teams. The reason for the uneven number Is to give one ef the teams a chance to play out of town every Sunday. There are stUl a few tewns left where the speed merchants can pick up a few stray Jits occasionally, and t hey don't care to be deprived of thia privilege. This league will have three parks, namely, Chris Lyck park, Lukus "m CyrtW, . Isteruarttsmsi IJ - esBnne Tragessor Catching in iimiri mi. ui ,m r j syr-f 'ml'' C T,''t1-?

The fol lowing officers were elected: E. H. Ver non, president, and B. A. Oants, secre tary. The teams that will compose the American league are: .South Omaha Mer chants, Walter Q. Clarks.

This league and the City league will ar range their schedule so 7 that they will wind up about September 1.

This season the Valentines will change their monicker. Hereafter they will be known as the Townsenda. Tom Moone, formerly the king bee of the Townsnnds, has decided to koep bis lid out of the ring this season. .The team that bore the Dundee Woolen Mills spallation last season, will travel under tbe Uoui-geol label this trip. Under the personal supervision of Daddy Overman, the Black Kats' tribe ought to show up aa strong as onions. The chauffeurs ef the Trolleys and the Jitney chasers located at the. Sixth atreat barn, will hava a team In the field this season. Arthur Moran, formerly star slabster for the O. D. Klpllngers, will irumatie and hold down the Initial pouch for the Murphy Did Its. It was proposed to name the Class A Sunday league the Ores tee Omaha league, because Benson and South Omaha will be represented. According to L. P. fteger of the Ancient Order of I'nited Workmen, their team will be composed entirely of members of the order this season.

TINKER STRONGFOR M'GRAW Federal League Mentor Declares the Boss of the Giants is Peer of All managers. HAKES ATHLETES OF BOOKIES NRW YORK, March R-Joeeph Fever sham Tinker Is a Federal leager first. last and all the time. From a playing standpoint. Tinker made, the outlaw league a reality. But Joe Tinker la first of all a man la every sense of the word, and In speaking of his former associates In Or ganised Base Ball he never stoops to the petty knocking that a few of the men In both leagues are at times guilty of. Joe recently got talking of the great managers of the game. Tinker, of course, was Chance's lieutenant In the palmy daya of Frank's Cub regime and spoke glowingly ef his former mentor. How ever, to every one's surprise the Chlcfed leader waxed the most enthusiastic over none ether than John J. MoOraw. "All things considered." said Tinker, '1 regard MoOraw as the greatest of bass ball managers. He had done more with Inferior material than any man In base ball. "He went to New York when that city was the Joke of the National league, and made It the strongest link In fhe circuit. He did it by winning five pennants with second rate ball players. "I like a man who fights the hardest when the odds are all against him. That Is McOrsw. He Is always confident, ready to take a chance on anything, and go through with It to a finish. "Look what he did with Merkle. He made him a very valuable ball player when naturally Fred was one of the worst that ever came ur to the big show. He has done the same thing with count leas other men. "I figure him per cent better than tbe average big league leader, and even a shade beyond the great Connie Mack. He has no weakness as a manager. "The trouble with a lot of people In New York who do not appreciate Mae Is that they are too close to him to get the right , viewpoint I have played agalnat, bun for years, and know Just what he is capable of accomplishing. "Of course, there have been a number of great managers In bass ball, and their work is purely a matter of opinion. Personally I rank MeOraw at tha ton. Others may think differently, but no one can ditnuts his greatness snd value to the game. "He has accomplished things. That after all. Is the only test of greatness. Not what you might have done, could have done or may do, but what you have done.. MoOraw's record Is base ball his tory. I the face of his achievements all argument as to his ability must cease." ,,'k'r "l'o Athletes. While other managers are turning ay ere loose unconditionally.

ALSO ACCEPTED MOST CHANCES BOSTON, March U.-Wslter Maranvllle of the Boston Braves smashed more than one fielding record for the ahortstopplng brigade last year, and this season, If he wants to set up any new marks, he will have to beat his own best performances. The record books bear testimony to the fact that the "Rabbit" now has the dis tinction of having accepted more chances at short field during a campaign than any other major league performer, .SKI, the high water mark previously having been Bob' Allen's, .906, made as a member of the Phillies. In 1SSZ. which was the first ysar the National league operated under a twelve-club membership. The other record that Maranvllle smashed last season he not only smashed. bat annihilated, and probably aet a mark that will hang up as long as Charley Sweeney's nineteen strikeouts. This rec ord was In starting double jilavs. Data of thia kind for the major leagues now has been kept tor three years and prior to last year the greatest number of duplex killings Inaugurated by an able athlete waa forty-one. The diminutive Brave made the first move last season in Just fifty-eight two-ply retirements, doing pioneer work In double the number of dual executions pulled off by any two Na tional league shortstops. rasa All Others. Tha last year John J. Kvers and J. Faversham Tinker worked together they Inaugurated seventy double plays, Rvers starting thirty-three and the ' Kansan thirty-seven. That same season, which was 1912, Arthur Fletcher and Larry Doyle of the Giants put It on Kvers and Tinker by putting In motion seventy-six double plays, the shortstop making tha first movs In forty-one and the second baseman In thirty-five. The Fletcher Doyle figures wereNiot fractured In 1913 In either major league, but last aeason they went by the board when Maranvllle and bis brainy aide partner started from their positions eighty-five duplex massa cres. Jack Barry and Eddie Collins of the Athletics, if It Is desired to make a com parison, started only fifty-two. Only ten major leaguers last season took the Initiative In twenty-five more double plays. These men were Maran vllle of the Braves, who started fifty eight at short; Bush ot Detroit, who started thirty-six at short; McBrldo of Washington, who started thirty-five at short; Barry of ths Atheletlcs, who started thirty-one at short; Doyle of the Giants, who started thirty-one jat second; Hersog of Cincinnati, who started twenty-nine at short; Evers of the Braves, who started twenty-seven at second; Cutahaw of Brooklyn, who started twenty-seven at second; Scott of Boston Americans, who started twenty fix at short, and Hans Wagner of the Pirates, who started twenty-five at short. Bests La4s Harlers. Joe Bens of the Chicago Americans took the lead among the pitchers In giv ing double plays their impetus. He mads the pioneer move la eight. The year before Eddie Ctuotte etarted nine, which still stands as a mark for burlers. Among tha catchers, those most active In putting doubts plays In motion were Behalk of the Chicago Americans, O'Neill of Cleveland, and Henry or Washington. Each started nine.
