finished in first division, third
1906 and fourth in 1912. In 1910,
1911 aDd 1913 It finished fifth.
This year, at the present rate, it
lma no license to finish above seventh at
the very best. The cry la and has
been for pitchers, not more pitchers, but
rather, we would say, just "a" pitcher.
Give us right now one man who can be
relied on to 80 out and atop any team lu
the league, and we will bobble along,
even though fatally lame at short and
second. We go nothing an the argument
that a team needs a big staff of pitchers.
On the contrary, it has always been our
belief, born of close and long observation,
that no team needs this and that many
a team suffers from a surplus of pitching
material, even though often of excellent
quality. Here are two examples, Boston
Nationals and Chicago Americans. No
one will deny that Comiskey has a great
galaxy of pitchers, and if he would re
duce the number he might get along bet
ter. Boston is forging to' the front with
out a regiment of boxmen. If we owned
the Rourke team, .we would trade half
of It, It necessary, for one reliable pitcher.
That exhibition against Denver Thursday
was a clincher. Seven runs In the first
Inning, yet Omaha loses. While some
rotten infielding went on, the chief cause
waa the rotten work in the box. Crabbe
had nothing and W illis had nothing, ex
cept his usual don'tglveadamn indlffeiS
ence. It was disgusting, and the won
der Is that even 200 or 300 fans will tol
erate It. They are about all that is left
' of our onoe big crowds.
New York fans are said to be murmur
ing discontent at Manager Chance of the
Yankees. They think he should be higher

but the big fellow ha had his troubles.
In the first place, he took bold of as bad

This gives the player, It is said, a feel

the players are fools who fall to see that

Denver trtlU relies a lot on bluffing an

Stockdale meant to be fair. He canned
one of the Bear and if he had canned
two or three more would hav com
manded respect. You seldom see an
Omaha player canned these days. Poor
follows, they don't seem to have spirit
enough even to make a noise dn th

Ha it come to this, that the other
teams use Omaha as the butt of their
pitching Jokes Old Lew Richie, one of

HELD MEET IN OCTOBER
Approximately Five Hundre4 Asan

Part la Great.
Br FRANK QUIGLEY.
Last week when the bascballlst con
gregated at the city hall to listen to the
decisions molded out by the board of di
rectors of the Omaha Amateur associa
tion, things were a good deal livelier than
anticipated. The first thing on the bill of
fare was the case of "Jawn" Norton, as
sociated with the Krebb Transfers. At a
meeting of the Booster league held some
time ago.lt developed 'that said Norton
was being compensated for flinging the
horsehide, consequently the manager of
the various Booster league contingent
got their noodle together and decided to
oust the Krabba from. the league, but the
board of director put crimp in their
plans ' when, they unanimously decided
that Norton was ineligible to participate
in any of the Booster league contests,
but they wouldn't consider the-'prepost-tlon
to take any action against the team.
Almost a Fight.
A flstio encounter waa nearly the out
come of the contest protested between the
Murphy Did Its and the Brown Park
Pharmacy. The' protest waa baaed on
the ground that the Brown Parks bad to
play the Murphy "Did Us on Sunday, Aug
ust 8.
During the argument that were pre
sented by both aide it developed that the
schedule had been changed and what the
board of director wished to ascertain
was the reason for the' change and
whether or not th Brown Parka knew
of the change when made, but they were
not afforded an opportunity to thrash the
matter out because tho debate waa hit
ting the hlgn place at approximately a
temperature of 108 degrees when the
leader of the Brown Park Pharmacy
withdrew his protest. With this protest
on the shelf the Vinton 8treet Merchants
are the boys that walk away with the

the season for they are in the market to

IN FEATHERWEIGHT CLASS
Another Fight and Then Kilbane
Gets Into Heavier Company.
SEEKS ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP
Has an Kyo on Welsh and Will Take
Him on to Settle Ittght to
l.lghtnrelaht Honor.
By RINtiSinm.
NICW YOUK, Aug. 22. Johnny Kilbane,
featherweight champion, will engago In
ono more content at his favorlto pound
age 122 pounds ringside and then will
cant his lot In the next division, that of
llghtwo'ght. Kilbane Is not spending any
sleepless nights worrying over tho out
come of hi bout with Johnny Dunde
next month, for ho will enter the Im
pound class regardless how th Dundee
clash terminates.
Kilbane ha been verging on a leap Into
the lightweight heap for several months,
but Dundee nagged so persistently for a
return match with the peer of Impoun
ders that the obliging Clevelander as
sented. The only reason Kilbane la willing to
tnke Dundee on one more at a weight
that both will have difficulty In attain
ing Is to eradicate the only questionable
bout he ha put up sine b mounted the
featherweight thron. Klllmn hM, been
eminently successful in all his bouts as
champion, excepting th one with Dun
dee, which th referee called a draw at
the end of twenty rounds.
It Is to wipe out this blot for Kilbane
looks upon it as such that the feather
weight champion will go through a course
of hard training to he In perfeot condition
t ) prov his mastery over Dundee,
A to tho Wla-ht.
The pseudo Scotchman will sxperlence
even more difficulty in pacing down to
122 pound ringside, the stipulated weight
for the match. Dunde has been fighting
lightweight for over a year and has
permitted th weight to accumulate. But
he never moved the beam at over 130
pounds. Kilbane has been disregarding
the featherweight limit in his recent
bouts, being content to fight at natch
weights. He had seriously intended to
drift Into the lightweight class, as he
had set his mind on never fighting In the
featherweight division again. Despite his
laxity in training for recent contests,
Kilbane could tip the beam at no more
than in pounds.
While Willie Ritchie was world's light
weight champion, Kilbane repeatedly
challenged Ritchie to combat for the 153
pound title. It was Kllbane's aim to
hold the championship in two divisions
at th same time. But he was denied thl
chance when Ritchie unwittingly per
mitted Welsh to lure him into a match
that cost him the premier honors.
However, Kilbane I not discouraged
over th turn of affairs. He figures that
ho will yet Induce Freddie Welsh to fight
him at the lightweight limit, and Johnny
firmly believes that Welsh will prove an
easier proposition than Ritchie would
have been.
Welsh Some Boxer, t
Kilbane I awmr that Welsh Is on
of the world's greatest boxers, but he also
Is In possession of ths fact that Welsh
cannot 0l hard. In fact the new light
weight boas cannot deliver one-third so
forceful a blow aa oan Ritchie.
Should Kilbane book up with Welsh in
will be as pretty a boxing exhibition as
ever was staged for Kilbane Is today re
garded as the cleverest man In ths Ameri
can ring.
One thing we can rest assured of. This
will not be the last meeting between Kil
bane and Dundee, for If Dundee lose lie
will trail Kilbane into th lightweight
preserves and fight him at that weight
Should a quirk of fat make Dundee the
featherweight champion next month, Kil
bane will surely abandon his lightweight
aspirations and demand a return match
with MontoJth's Jumping Jack.
The firm of Joe Jcannette and Battling
Jim Johnson has been dissolved. The two
black mastadons fought for th 'steenth
time at th Stadium club her the other
night, and the bout was so unsatisfactory
that a majority of th spectators left be
fore th ninth round started.
Up to their most recent encounter, the
two colored gladiators had put up some
fairly interesting battles. But they got
to know each other too well, and they
(Imply refused to make matters sissle
In the last bout. One could, but didn't
dare; th other would, but couldn't.
Jeanette minaged to show Just a little
more generalship each time they fought,
so finally Battling Jim gave It up as a
bad Job. The corporation of Hattllng Jim
Johnson and Sam Longford is now In the
field.

And the ban hall season's fading and

When the first of cool .Seitemlxi with Its

Ami when there s peace in every climate

He tells the snout of all his team, of the
beaut that's playing third,
"He's a corker and a comer, take a tip,
he's quit a bird."
And the scout looks at the comer, but he
turns his nose up high,
For tho comer Is a bonrhead who lifts an

But the scout has looked on others and

Who Is champagne In a dry town and

T1IOHH TEliniHLK BHAVHI,
A while ago a team of bums who never
won a game,
A sqund of punks who mad mlsplays in
every single frame,
And never put up any fight.
Hut always ducked far out of light.
To hldo from the world's cruH light.
And for a pennant made never a claim.
Hut now It's a far different story to tell.
The little team Is playing in a form that's
very well,
They are fighting Ilk Ty Cobb,
Always scrapping on the Job,
Drawing cheers from all the mob, '
And every minute raislnballyell.
