Ball Association.
FORM MID-WEST LEAGUE
The annual meeting of the Omaha
Amateur Base Ball association was
held Wednesday evening following
a banquet given by the board of di
rectors at the Paxton hotel.
J. J. Isaacson, for three years presi
dent of the association, was re-elected
to 'the office for a fourth term. Isaac
son has been president of the ama
teur association since its organiza
tion. William Bloszics was elected to
fill the office of vice president, which
was created at the meeting Wednes
day evening. Bloszies has been sec
retary for the last three years. Jimmy
Milota was elected secretary and F.
S. Hunter re-elected treasurer.
. Two directors-at-large to act dur
ing 1917 were also named, George
Clark and Robert Kroll.
The board directed President Isaac
son to make inquiries into the feas
ibility of starting the organization of
a Midwest Amateur Base Ball asso
ciation. The two national associa
tions did not enjoy Very successful
seasons this year and several ot the
middle western cities are dissatisfied.
It is believed that Lincoln, Des
Moines, St. Joseph, Kansas City, St.
Louis, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Du
luth would be glad to accept fran
chises in a middle west body if Oma
ha would take the lead in the organi
zation of such.
It was also decided that an advis
ory board of Omaha business men
would be named to advise and make
suggestions to the board of direc
tors. President Isaacson will be
asked to submit a list of names for
this advisory board at the first 1917
meeting. , '

Finishing Trip

braska foot ball teamyheld its last
practice before reaching, Portland at

the day. The band played at Poca

tain Home and Nampa.
Crowds in all places were enthus
iastic in their reception of the band
and the team. Members of the, band
who go in quest of food at every
stop, have .trouble in catching the
train as it has nearly always started
before all have returned and a lively
chace ensues.
The common purpose of all those
who are making the trip has bound
them together in the most congenial
and social party imaginable.
Today is a much different from
yesterday as winter from summer.
The sun has shone brightly all day
inviting the many amateur photo
graphers out at every stop. Excite
ment is approaching fever heat as the
scene of the gridiron battle draws
nearer.

. Preceded by a drop in temperature
of 26 degrees one of the earliest snow
storms of any marked severity that
has ever visited Nebraska held Oma
ha and practically the entire state in
it grasp yesterday. Late Wednesday
the storm, which at times assumed the
proportions of a blizzard, struck
western Nebraska and swept rapidly
eastward. Early today it atarted to
rain in Omaha and at 7 o'clock a tem-(
perature of 33 degrees wits recorded.
Shortly afterward the first flakes of
snow fell and soon the storm 'was at
its height, accompanied by a cold
wind, which in some parts of the
state attained a maximum velocity of
twenty-five miles per hour.
Fair Friday. j .
Althounh low temperatures " were
predicted for last night, the bulletin
issued by the local office of the United
States weather bureau forecasts tnat
the storm will have spent its fury by

temperatures throughout ; this " sec

-While snow in October' in this dis
trict is not an unusual occurance,
traces having Deen recoroeu many
times, it is seldom that snow, in any
quantity has fallen this early in the
season and indications are -that the
present storm will hang up a new
record for snowfall for this month.
But once since the local weather bu
reau was established on November 1,
1870, has snow in . an 'appreciable
quantity fallen previous to October
20. This was in 1898 on October
17 and 18, when 5.2 inches of snow
was recorded. There were traces of
snow in October in 1885, 1887, 1888,
1893, 1894, 1895, 1896, 1903,, 1910, 1912
and 1913, but in most cases they oc
curred later in the montn. ine laie
President William McKinley was in
Omaha at the time ot tne storm in
1898.
More Severe in West.
In Wyoming and South Dakota the
storm seems to have been most, se
vere. Temperatures as low as 8 and
10 degrees are reported from these
.tates, while snowfalls of between five

and amount of snowfall were about
the same as those reported fjoiii

It was 14 above .in Cheyenne and
points in eastern Wyoming and west

Word received from North Platte,
Valentine and other towns west of
Omahr. reported three or four inches
of snow, and with snow still falling.
A twenty-mile wind is also reported
in those sections. '
Four Inches at Norfolk.
Although railroads and telegraph
and telephone companies report little,
if any, difficulties in this section, dis
patches from' Norfolk state that rail
road schedules on all lines have been
upset and that telephone and tele
graph communication is hampered by
a heavy northwest wind and wet
snow. At an early hour today the
snowfall at Norfolk had reached four
inches.
Omaha offices and business houses
were permeated by the odor of moth
balls. Knee lengths had given way
to undervestments of a more substan
tial character and overcoats and furs
that had been in cold storage through
out the summer months had been
resurrected. Street cars were taxed
to capacity by persons who ordinarily
walk to work and the streets seemed
half deserted by pedestrians. In to
day's weather bulletin shippers are
cautioned to protect shipments of the
next twenty-four to thirty-six hours
from temperatures of 15 north and
west, 25 east and 30 south.
Two Inches at Sioux City.

served in the open the women of the

trunk ma visit to Nebraska simply
