Omaha has won a majority of its names on every roai trip made and it has registered a margin oi gain or split even on ever) ..cries except three. And therein lies the secret of the Rourke lead.

TAKES FEW PRACTICE SPINS! FORMER MARK NEAR 8,000 road than at home. As a result Omaha has hammered in more runs. Omaha has played a number of tight pitch ers' battles at home, but few abroad. Those games Omaha has lost on the road have been replete with free hit ting. All this is a peculiar circum stance difficult to explain. Ordinarily a team plays its best hall at home, wins most of its games at home and considers itself fortunate to break even on the road. If the Rourkes can retain their lead in the league race through the current home series, they'll win the pennant, because there is no reason to doubt that they will fail to repeat their previous feats on the road in September. Colorado Springs will reap a har vest Labor day when Charley White Rr.d,ll Welsh tangle in a twenty-round battle with the world's I or (ne OIhtr for the privilege of play lightweight championship at stake, j jng tne Murphy-Did-lts next Sunday Followers ot the paucea ring game to accine tne Ltass n cnampionvnip. Two games, billed for aforementioned purpose-, are on the bill of fare at Luxus park, located at Twenty-fourth and Vinton streets, for today. The first contest, which will be reeled off at 1:30, will be be tween the Beddcos, pennant gents of the Booster league, and the Kraji ceks, the big noise of the Intercity league. Both teams are bubbling over with confidence and they are deter- mined to glom the grapes, so it is a leadpipe that a battle full of thrills will be on the boards. According to the dope going the rounds the hoys ; with gray matter arc picking the Bed-! deos to suppress the Krajiceks, but j the followers of the Krajiceks arc! singing a ditfernt tunc. 1 As soon as this contest is recorded ! as an historic event, the Stags, of the , Metropolitan league, will meet the McCarthys, of the Southern league, i for the purpose of eliminating one j rc .;m writer Colorado Sorings from all sides. And Colorado Springs will ex tend a merry welcome. The fight fans may sec a real fight and they may not. But it's a cinch they 11 have a merry time dodging the dollar chasers. The fight is being promoted by a Colorado Springs club, made up of business men to "put Colorado Springs on the map;" in other words to bring money to the town. And those Colorado Springs chaps are world-beating wonders when it conies to getting the money. They have had many years of practice shearing tourists, and what they won't do to those box fight fans won't be worth doing. Just as the White Sox manifested symptoms of showing a burst of speed and an inclination to offer competi tion in the pennant fight and Sox ians began to get excited, Rowland's men took another tumble and became enmeshed in the throes of a slump. 1 questionably Charley Comiskey is the hardest luck big league club owner in the business.

A day of reckoning is near at hand, however, and one oi these years Commy will see his cluh leatl tlic ficM to the flag. In the Metropolitan league the Stags , closed the books with clean slate,; winning every game, and. incidentally, garnering a percentage ot l.ouu. 1 heir opponents for today did not have the path strewn with roses, but after an uphill fight they finally reached the summit.

To, lay Omaha and Lincoln play a :. ml, le header at Kourke park. This iw iu-bill will be the biggest base ball .vuit of the year in Omaha. It will prove the relative worth of the two u.ons which are fighting for the p. M;ant. Omaha fans should turn out in force for this game and show l'a Kourke and lucky Holmes a crowd the like of which the Western league never saw before. It is said the hopes of the Bolton Ke Nix rest completely on Carri- gan's pitching staff Which be said, is a pretty good w hi. h to rest one's hopes , it might asset on lo i..h tin: I inks Koinki are a huth:i on' hi malady commonly known as lazy itus and would only travel a few blocks to see them in action then thev ought to tie the hardware onto their rooters. Today's battle will tell which side of the fence the rooters are on. Tickets were distributed among the managers of the four teams booked for today and a large advance sale is anticipated. A communication was received from Walter Nelson, one of the directors who al present is lamping the skyscrapers in various large cities. Comparatively speaking, he says that Minneapolis anil St. l'aul are not in the sw im v. lien it comes to diamonds and numerous privileges that are ex tended to the Omaha amateurs You fellows that are always going around with a chip on your shoulder and a wagonload of hammers, please take notice. Directors Kick. Some time ago the directors ni powered President Isaacson with the atuhority to book all the elimination championship games, and to dale Ins work is worthy of the stamp of an proval.

If he does the schedule will probably be for next Sunday at Rourke park. Murphy Did Its against winners of the McCarthy's Sunnybroks-Stags game for the Class H championship and (he Luxus against Ramblers to eliminate one of the other from the race, and on the following Sunday Armours against winner of the Kambler-Luxus game, and on the next Sunday the winner of the last mentioned game against Minneapolis at Omaha. Omaha Gets Trimmed. It seems now that if the Omaha Amateur liase Ball association was in a position financially to send a rep representative to the meeting of the national association the outcome of the schedule for Omaha would be a trifle more satisfactory. Every sea son the Omaha boys have to earn a trip by defeating some foreign troupe, while other members of the associa tion are allowed to come here at the expense of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association. The fellows that fixed up this schedule may know their business and their brain ma chinery might be in good working order, hut it would be essential to produce some high class explosives to lilow the Omaha dudes into line with the opinion that they were afforded a square deal. Omaha has to play Min neapolis here on Sunday. September 17, and on the same Sundav St. Paul plays at Iincoln. If St. Paul wins Omaha is compelled to play St Paul the following Tuesday. Omaha has to defray the expenses of Minneapolis for the round trip and if St. Paul wins .11 Lincoln, Omaha has to pay St. Paul's expenses from Lincoln to Omaha and from Omaha to St. Paul. In event Lincoln wins, Omaha plays at Lincoln. If Omaha trims Minneap olis and St. Paul or Lincoln, they will be eligible to plow on to Houston. Tex., where the semi-finals and finals will be jerked off. What business has Cleve'and in the race? Cleveland joined the National Federation ami later several teams that got a rotten ileal quit and decided to join the Na tional association It would be O K. to take them back next season, but wdien they turned the National asso ciation down last spring they should get a dose of their own medicine.
