AMATEUR BASE BALL ,18 COMING TO FR01IT SPORTS SECTION f The Omaha Under National Association Fromitei to Assume New Importance in Sport World. ' WILL PLAT WORLD'S SEKIX3 TA SIGKS TWO HEW ATHLETES An even docen of Pa Rourke'g athlete have lamped the writing on the wall and sent In their signatures affixed to 1918 contracts. Thought of a hard year and the disagreeable dreams of an empty com mlssary about June 1 will prompt the most delinquent of athlete to" action and Itourk expects tha remainder of his crew to flock Into tha fold before the passing of many more day Thou players who have signed are: Krueger and Kafora, catchers; Crabb, .Willis, Biodgett, Everdon and Btevens, pitchers; Krug, Whalen, Tlloskt and Payjie, tnflelders. and Aten, outfielder. Rourke completed tha deal for Biodgett, the big Waterloo hiirlr, end had no sooner fixed thlnss up with Doo Andrews than Biodgett hustled to sign up. Biodgett will get a neat advance over his Water loo salary. Another new athlete haa been acquired by Rourke. Ills name Is Aten andlh is an outfielder. Chick Fraser saw Aten play -semi-pro ball at Hutchinson, Kan. Chick Is scout for tha Pirates, but thought Aten's Inexperience would make it Impossible for Mm to play In the Wsj leagues bo ha gave Pa a tip to grab the , youth. : Fraiier says he Is a comer and a year In the Western will make htm eligible for the big show. So Pa sent the youngster a contract and the youngster signed up. That makes two Kansas semi pros Fa has signed. The other is Short stop Tlloskl, the second Maranville. ' Wmta aa Outfielder. Rourke also has a deal on for another outfielder. Pa needs an outfielder and needs one bad. He has decided Manager Marty Krug will make a good third base man so the outfield must be made up of Thomason, Bell, Payne, Aten and Wal lace. The latter trio may fall to deliver and there Is a chance that Bell will not be quite fast enough. So Pa haa decided lie will get a man of known ability to be on the safe side.. ' 'The acquisition of Bchliebner completes the infield. With Frits on first. Breen on second. Whalen at short and Krug at third, the inner works' la well protected. -The catching department iaall to the mustard with Kafora, 'Krueger and-Sea-caugb . ' Oris more pitcher will be added to the quad and Rourke has entered Into nego tiations for a hurler from the BU Louis Cardinals. Bt. Louis has a pitcher or two to send back and Pa has first pick. The twlrler wiil be a good one, says Pa. Those now on the staff are: Crabb, Noyea, Willis, Biodgett, Styles, Closman. Ever don and Stevens. ... More Treable la Toseka. John A.
