CLOSE COMBATS
MARK PLAYING IN
AMATEUR LOOPS
No Little Giants Found in
Omaha Sandlot Leagues;
Four Teams Are Tied in
City Circuit.
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

set the early pace, while the public
choice, A. K. Macomber's War Cloud,

iThe race was run over a sloppy
track and under the circumstances the
time of 2:104-5 was good. . i
Exterminator's victory came as
great surprise, most of the spectators
as few had' conceded the. gelding ,
chance. ,
The start was good, Exterminator
getting off in fifth place, which he still '
held by a length at the quarter. At
the half the eeldin&r had moved up to
fourth place, which he held by half
a length, and at the three-quarters he
was first by a head. At the mile he,.
had dropped back a little and was
second by four lengths. Coming into
the stretch he moved up on Escoba,
and in the final he moved away, finish- r
ing with a generous length to spare.
Escoba is Consistent. ,
Escoba was second at the start and
ran a good race throughout, never,

Viva America got off first and at
the quarter was leading by a length

the half. At the" three-quarters, how
ever, she had dropped to third place,
which she held until the finish.
War Cloud went to the post a heavy
favorite at odds of $1.45 to $1 and
his showing proved a great disap
pointment. 1 .

The gross value of the race was

winner. Of the remainder $2,500 went
to Escoba, $1,000 to Viva America,
while War Cloud saved his entry and
