By FRANK QUIGLEY. Ptntiino- the hands of time uo an hour helped other besides tillers of the soil, and among the other will be found thousands of amateur ban tossers throughout the United States that can now go home after work, eat a 'square mat and still have ample time left before' the evening shades are pulled to practice base ball. Here tofore most of tne amateurs were compelled toimiss supper on practice nights. . ' ' At this early hour in tne game none of the fans seem toave any positive opinions regarding the out come of the ' various leagues. Of course it takes courage and confidence to make definite forecasts under all the circumstances that confront an armv of base ball clubs, but never- - . . , . . theless several orthe managers nave opinions, and also the temerity, to ex Dress them. Anyway, none of the iraoru have develoDed into a one- team race, so tne prognostications oi the brave managers may caicn com before next fall. The Murphy-Did-Its are leading the Greater Omaha league, but if the Kra iiceks had shoved on the brakes in the blunder department the blacksmiths would not be perched in that coveted oosition. ' The Lona-eways are knotted with the Krapiceks for position two, -while the Metcalfs are at the half-way mark and the Armours, Holmes White Sox and Beselins have not chalked up point f ' -V Four Teams Tied. Out of five teams playing, four are tied with an average of .667 in the City league. When the curtains are pulled, this. evening there will only be room for two squads on the hill. The tied teams are playing each other. . 'The Beselins are slightly warm un der the. collar on account of a deci sion made by the barker during their fight across the freek witn tne t-oua cil Bluffs Lonsrewavs. It was the m troductorv for' the Beselins in' the Greater Omaha and they started the season with a protest. Now that the Walter G. Clarks have automatically severed their rela tions with the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association, no damage can be inflicted by coughing up a little stove leasrue stuff, which journeyed around among the silent club during the in- t -n .u:- lermission ironi last iau uniu mis spring. It has been said by several prominent ' horsehide manipulators that the manager of the Clarks .last- year promised Curtis Peterson, pitcher, two rocks and a halt tor each game that he won. He won six games. He was to collect IS iron men, but not being versed in the art of collecting, lie is still looking for his dough. Bob Peterson, his brother, took-charge of the Clarks when they entered the field this season. The Clarks organized, but on the day the bell rung went to the wall, Uames Today. Fans that crave excitement should hike to Holmes park this afternoon where the Krajiceks and Beselins will tie no at 3:30 o clock. . it will be up to tne J-ongeways to pull the Murphys out of first place. This will be a difficult task but the children across the waves are of the opinion that they can turn the trick. The four teams billed in the City league today are tied for first place This is the off bunday tor the Len tral Furniture Store. The Sample-Harts, one of the lead ers of the American league will cross bats with the Social Settlement boys, who by the way are holding the eel lar position, and the Florence Ath letics tied with Sample-Harts vwill fight the McCaffrey Motor Company. The McCaffreys are picking up steam as the season rolls by so the su burban dudes will find them a starchy proposition. . The cipher kids, namely, Graham Ice Creams and the World-Heralds will fight' to determine which squad Will rise up a notch. They are tied for; the bottom of the Inter-City league, while the leaders, the Daily News and Dresher Brothers, will fight for the roof. Probably the best battle in the Booster league will be the struggle between the J. B. Roots and Homesteads. , . : Again Uncle Sam's wide reach has grabbed ) a prominent amateur base ball promoter, namely Patrick Boyle, president of the Inter-City league. He will be sadly missed by the dia mond gladiators and his ability fo argue will take somef the pep out of the meetings of the directors. Pat joined the navy and sailed for the Great Lakes last -Thursday. s Leslie Pickett la arranging th achedul for tha Union Paclflo team. Out-of-town teams desiring gamea can commune with him at till Hamilton street. Shenandoah, la., la looking for game with Omaha teama. Writ to R. E. Ovlatt. manager of baae ball team, Shenandoah, la.
