Buffaloes leave thla afternoon
on one of the most .Important
if all road trips taken thla season.
Much depend* on the outcome of the
game* played by (he Herd wilhin the
next two weeks whether or not the
championship pennant of the West
ern league floats tn the breeze at
H'tfleenth and Vinton street* next
ear.
Ry winning over Wichita In a
louhleheadcr Sunday those Buffaloes
m ceased their i hanre* of grabbing
he pennant. Of course, the season
sn't over, hut half of it has passed
iy. The Buffaloes have played 18
;antes on the home lot since retorti
ng from lies Moines, July 8. Of
iliose 18 games, II of them have been!
son by Omulut and the remaining
o ven by the enemy, giving Hie Itnf- '
[aloes a percentage of .fill, xvliirli is
milletliing the Herd can he proud of \
Ibis late in the rare. In those 18
(Hines tlie Herd hatted out lot hits,
for an average of .283. lieing at hat
ill times. The rluh scored 81 runs
In 77 for the visitors in the 18 games.
Now. if the Buffaloes can break
en on their road trip w hich takes
them to Tulsa. Oklahoma City, St
Joseph and Wichita, they will re
turn to their home diamond with *
nighty good i banco of finishing the ,
remainder of Ihe season at the top of
Ihe league standing*.
Should the Buffaloes play against
fulsa. Oklahoma I ity, St. Joseph and
Wichita within the next two weeks
like they played against them in
Omaha recently anil get half the
breaks then they should return home
iniirli the heller of their Jaunt around
llte southern arm of tlie circuit. With
Ihe exception of Tulsa, Omaha won
all the big part of the series. Wichita,
linweyer, broke even with Omaha In
a four game stand. The Buffaloes
are considered a better ball rlnh on
Ihe road than at houir. If this holds
Inis within the next txxn week*, so
much tlie belter.
Ths club Is hitting. Thers la no
question about that. Against Pcs
Moines the Buffaloes got 48 hits for
sn average of .232. lieing at hat 18'
times. The Buffaloes and Booster*
played five games. Against Oklahoma

Omaha won two games, the Herd htt
the Iml! for a SI 5 dip. being st l*it
111 times and Slamming out 34 hits.
Only three game* were played yyilli
St .Joseph and Omaha won two of
them. The Herd fared Sant pitchers
tut times ami drove out 31 hits for en
s v or ige of 313. Tulsa was the firs!
rluh to win a series from the Buf
faloes. The Oilers won IJie first two
games and lost the second. The Buf
faloes bad troulile hitting Tula* pitch
lug. but had they snagged anywhere
near half the breaks the Oilers got
they would have mopped up .Jink
I.ellvell s > row In three games. In
the three Tulsa tame*. Omaha was at

When the Buffaloes atari against

leading hitters of the rluh get over

Bluffs Legion
Show Tuesday
y
I Saturday’s rain, which compelled
the Blue Devil Drum Dorps of Coun
cil Bluff* to postpone its fistic con
tests fr.im Saturday to Tuesday eve
ning, caused considerable disappoint
ment to the Omaha fight fans, who
were all "steamed up" to see what
has promises of being one of the best
haxing show’s staged In this vicinity
in a long time.
Besides being the first open air
show', the main even of the evening
will be a 10-round fracas between two j
rivals, "Battling” Monroe and Jack
Menlo.
The Sailor Uslon and Ray Carter I
fight will be worth going miles to j
see, as both boys showed In their
| workouts at the business men's
i "gym” to l-e in good shape. The '
i other three bouts promise to be real
islugfeats with chances about even, as
! o 11 these boys *eem to be evenly
I matched.
Tickets are on sale at all the usual
downtown agencies.
