Jake Isaacson, “Father
of Amateur Baseball” in
Omaha, to Give Up Duties
AKE ISAACSON is gonna nult.
The man who oiganlzed amateur baseball in Omaha and
, who nursed it to its present high plane, Is to step 'down
and out.''
He's going to let others try their hand at running it.
Although Isaacson’s confirmation is lacking, word treks
in from authentic sources that the "big chief" will wield
the "blgstlck” only a short time more.
Isaacson is going into tho haberdashery’ business, says
this same dependable informant.
Frank Jacobs, member of the board
of director*, admitted there whs
“some truth” In the report this morn
ing. He did rot deny that the Munic
ipal Baseball association directors
probably will employ a secretary at
?125 a month to do the work “Jake ’
was doing for nothing.
Hummel to Run It
It Is proposed to establish an of
fice In the city recreational depart
ment of the city hall. It is said, and
it may come to pass that Park Com
missioner Joe Hummel will take a
hand and help finance the proposi
tion.
Isaacson realized last season that
municipal baseball had outgrown the
system of being operated by officers
who do not receive any recompense
for their services.
Isaacson devoted two-thirds of his
time gratis to the association last
year and complaints were heard that
he “wasn't on the job like he used
to be.”
Municipal baseball In St. Louis Is
operated by the park department and
is declared by some to be a model i
plan.
Organized in 1914
Whether Hummel will want to as
sume responsibility of conducting the
sand lot game, which furnishes the
major amusement at city parks, re
mains to be seen.
Isaacson organized the sandlotters
In 1914 Into an organization then
known as the Omaha Amateur Base
ball association. He served as presi
dent of the body until entering tho
army in 1918 when he was succeeded
by Joe Wavrin, who had been acting
in the capacity of vice president.
On his return from the service in
1919, Isaacson reorganized the ama
teur aa the Municipal Baseball as
sociation and A1 Scott was chosen
president. Omaha business men were
induced to serve as directors and
l«aacson assumed the duties of secte
tary.
That organization is still intact. '

press Morrie.

the "Kid.”

Murphy Gets
“Glass’’ in Jaw
i
HANKIE MURPHY i
seems to have devel- !
oped "glassites" in
his jaw since his ap- '
pearance in an Oma- |
ha ring against Mor- :
rie Schlalfer.
Paul Doyle, one of '
the leading contend- i
ers for Mickey Walk- !
er’s crown, stopped !
the colossal state product in flva
rounds at Madison Square Garden, ]
recently.
Taking a dive at the hands of Doyle j
was in a way forgiveable, for he's a i
hard socking welter, but last night
the “Mile High " city fighter whs
stopped In one round by Jack VinceUI.
a Salt Lake fighter, unknown outside
the bounds of Utah.
All of which leads to the conclusion
that Murphy has developed a weak
ness to take ’em on the whiskers or
if following the precedent set by many
boxers to “take the easiest way out’’
—a quick road to oblivion.

Who don’t want dingy film on teeth
THa offers yon a method millions now employ. It
i ia need the world over — in acme SO countries — by
people who warn to fight film.
Too see the results everywhere. New charm, new
beauty comet from glistening teeth. Now we urge
you to learn, by a delightful test, how such teeth arc
acquired.
Film—the great enemy
Film is the teeth's great enemy—that viscous film
you feel. Jt clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays.
Pood stains, etc., discolor it. Then it forma dingy
coats. Tartar is based on film. That’s why beautiful
teeth were seen less often than now.
Pilm also holds food substance which ferments and
forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay That’s "why few escaped tooth
troubles.
Germs breed by millions in film. They, with tartar,
arc the chief cause of pyorrhea, now so alarmingly
common.
Old way* left film
Ahk authorities proved these methods by many
careful tests. Then « new-type tooth paste eras cre
sted, based on modem research. Those two great
him combatants were embodied in it.
That tooth paste is called Pepsodeot Dentists the
world ever now advise its daily use.
Constant guardians
P»pendent also creates constant guardians. It mui
upliea the alkalinity of the saliva. That is there to
neutralise mouth acids, the cause of tooth decay.
ft multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That
is there to digest starch deposits which mav other
wise ferment and form acids.
Thus it gives manifold power to these great natural
tooth-protecting agents
Twill delight you
The Pepsodent results will amaxe and delight you.
