WESTERN LEAGUE
SEASON OPENED
Omaha Defeats Last Year Champions
in Initial Contest To Play in
South, for Two Weeks.
From Friday Daily.
The opening of
the baseball sea
son in the West
ern league occur
red yesterday, the
opening games all
taking place in the southern towns
holding membership in the league.
Omaha was pitted against the
Tulsa Oilers under management of
Jack Lelivelt, former Omaha player
manager and won its first game.
A number of new faces will be
seen in the Buffalo line-up this year,
and it is generally conceded that our
metropolitan neighbor on the north
has its best chance in years of cop
ping the prize bunting.
Barney Burch, owner of the team,
has been striving hard to line up a
good aggregation for the fans to
gaze upon and as Omaha is one of
the best towns in the league from
the attendance standpoint his outlay
doubtless will not go unrewarded.
Another thing that will help to
hold up interest this year is the
return to three-game series. The fana
get tired of seeing the same teams in
aetion for too long a time and pre
fer the more frequent changing of
opponents even though it involves
little more expense in transporting
the players around the circuit for an
extra trip or two during the season.
The opening game in Omaha will
be played in about two weeks.

It seems that the nursery repre

of giving the order at first but on the
promise of the acent that the trees
would be delivered on a certain date
or the order cancelled, the man
agreed to take the trees. The trees

the trees anyway. They were refused
and the parties waxed exceedingly
