Municipal Amateur
Baseball Association Will Sponsor League for Youngsters
- vr
Three Circuits
Will Be Formed
for Omaha “Kids’
Two Sunday School Leagues
Will Be Played Under Aus
pice* of “Y” and One Un
der “Muny” Officials.
HE "Kids-' will
be weH taken
care of by the
‘'Muny” Baseball
association this
season, according
to plans which
Secretary Denni
son has in mind.
In the past sea
sons the boys
had to compete
in the same
leagues and on
the same teams
that older fel
lows played on.
This year it will be different and the
youngsters will have their own Sun
day league.
From all Indications, there will
he three “Kid" leagues In the field
this season. Two of them will be
Sunday school leagues, which will
play Saturday, and the other will be
the Junior Omaha league, which
plays Sunday afternoon ball.
Dennison and the park department
will see to it that the Junior leagues
will get some of the best grounds and
the preferred second game as well
as the older leagues.
The Sunday Junior league will af
ford an opportunity for the boys be
tween the ages of 15 and 18 to play.
Take, for example, the boy say
about 15 or 18 years old. who has to
work all week to support a widowed
mother, or a boy who Is the part sup
port of a large family and who has
to work on Saturday afternoons. The
Sunday school leagues which have
functioned for the last three years
could not take rare of this type of
youth.
The working youth must liave
his pleasure as well as any of the
older men who played In the old
classes A, B snd C, and In order to
do tb's the association passed the
new classification of the Junior and
Senior divisions.
And how the boys did rush for the
now Sunday Junior league. The first
night that the league actually met the
organization was complete with the
exception of adopting the schedule.
The new Omaha Junior league wlU be
composed of the following teams and
will bs managed by the following:
The William Street Merchants. It.
Tesar; Bancroft Street Merchants. B.
Baburek; T. M. H. A, Junior, H. Man
dell; Mohawks, Johnny Rosenblatt;
Tollsh Athletic club, H. Klus, and the
West Leavenworth Merchants, Tom
my Ransom.
The Sunday school leagues have
at present 11 entries for their
leagues. The organization of the
Sunday school leagues has been
somewhat delayed by the late dos
ing dates of the basket ball leagues.
Final organization of both the
north and aouth Buaday school
leagues will be completed at the
next meeting of the loops at the
Y. M. C. A. on Thursday, April IS.
The “Muny" association wants the
hoys to know that all rights and
privileges will be given them the
-ame as they would anyone whs plays
in any league under the auepleee of
the “Muny” Baseball association.
Tony Beiuuilto. whs hsrisd foe tte
standard Laundry team of the Moire
league la»t year, will twin ’em over for
itu> gchssjdors this year.

Two Crack Technical Baseball Players
Declared Ineligible for This Season
The Ineligibility bugaboo has hit
the city champion Technical High
baseball squad on the noss. When
the final grades of the quarter were
Issued last Friday at the Maroon In
stitution Latham West and Robert
McCormack, lettermen from last
year’s nine, were found to be down
In their subjects.
West was without a doubt the
premier high school flrst-saeker in
uniform last year, and his loss will
greatly affect the Techsters.
McCormack, although not especially
dangerous at the bat, waa most de
pendable in the field and went through
the season without having an error
chalked up against him.
Russel Pierce, captain of the
championship aggregation of last
season, has played four years of
high school baseball, so will be
unable to don the Maroon this
spring.
