AMATEURS MAKE INITIAL BOW ON LOCALS All DLOTS Murphys Wallop the Champion Armours; Little Ceremony Marks the Opening ' of Season. By FRANK QUIGLEY. Well, the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association got off on the right foot with a good start, although under cloudy skies and with good crowds in evidence and if there is anything in beginning right, the season should be all the most optimistic. As to the other end of it how the squads will run on the green sward, that is to be yet determined. The fans that are devotees of the various leagues are, busy compiling the dope, but are afraid to let their traps cough up an answer. - Even the wire-acres are not making iny predictions. Who ever said that amateur base ball is in for a bad year nd that because of the war would not receive the old atten tion, certainly stepped off the street car like a women. , No Slackers. The inaugural names staced Yester day evinced no slackers amontr the fans and fanncttes. In the face of a mammouth war anniversary cele bration and Liberty loan demon sit uation the fans are still able to donate some of their valuable time and seek recreation watching the amateurs display their wares. s Since these are the initial argu ments since Uncle Sam plowed through the amateurs, everything should look rosy for those who have anxiously waited for signs of the public attitude towards the amateurs New Scare of Prices. It also was the initial offense for the association parks to try out the new scale of war prices on a larKe cr&wd. Fans seemed to accent the new tariff with good grace. The only, kicks heard were those incident to delays In making change. The tellers to date have not had much experience in handeling Uncle Sam's small boys. The champions of the Greater Omaha league, the famous Packer- ville, crew, more commonly known as the Armours, succumbed before the recognized Murphy Did Its. formerly the class B champions to the tune of to o. ihey pulled the unexpected. Lack of condition was responsible for the white washing the Holmes crew received at the hands of the Krajiceks. The Krajiceks showed up stronger than was anticipated by the follower of this squad. I Little Formality. The only ceremony billed for the afternoon did not materialize because Bert Murphy failed to decorate Luxus park. Manager Howe of Armour & Co. was there as big as a house ready to shoot a wicked slant over the platter but was sadly disappointed. Ihe largest score of the dav was rolled up by the Uresher Bros. They incculated a desire to do a real job o icieamng and when the smoke cleared away it was found that this bunch of younsters had carted across the crockery 32 counters, while the opposition wheeled in with one pearly. iwo hard fought contests were in dulged in by the Murphy Did Its and Armours and Daily News and Kra- jicek Juniors. Both scores were 4 to 3. Before many moons rool around the teams will be in the pink of con dition and elegant base ball will then be rolled on the boards. The City league will enter the field next Sun day. Church of Good Shepherd Holds Election of Officers An election of officers was held by the Church of the Good Shepherd on Aoril 10.
