By FRANK QUIGLEY,
The base ballists hereabouts took a
vacation yesterday, that is most of
them. Undoubtedly the torrid weather
was responsible for their lack of
speed. Only six duets were booked in
the various leagues, one independent
game.
Jmow you fellows that are interest
ed in keeping the game charged with
electricity should all slip around to
the city hall Tuesday night, where a
special meering has been called by
i'resident Isaacson, the purpose of
which is to stimulate amateur base
ball and organize a couple of leagues,
lhe reason for organizing the leagues
is to help the managers, who find it
a difficult matter to book games. All
are cordially invited to attend this
talkfest. Some say it is deeds not
words that count, but a good line of
chatter at said meeting would prob
ably be a knockout.
Armours Beat MurDhvs.
Yesterday the Armours endeavored
to make the Murphy Did Its as much
out of place as a barrel of old Tavlor
at a woman's suffrage picnic. Before
a fair crowd at Luxus park these two
teams bumped each other.
Old warhorse Andy Graves was
trotted out for mound duty and he
uia a regular jo!) ot curving the cher
ry. In the initial round the Mur-
phys planted one run and this was all
they unearthed, while the Armours
managed to push three counters over
the crockery, During this argument
the southtown crew failed to chalk up
an error. The C. B. Longeways also
woke up after losing a few games
and locked one yesterday and the
Krajiceks fooled the Holmes White
Sox and hotfooted away with the
grapes. The Holmes feel like a bunch
of kindling wood today all broke up.
The Greater Omaha league race is a
regular one now. The Murphys still
have a one game lead. Second place is
tied, three teams being evenly hooked
up, namely, C. B. Lonc-pwavs
Armours and Krajiceks. The C. B.
Metcalfs are at the half way mark
and the Beselins still are lodged in
the cellar. The wrestling match be
tween Queen of southtown and Tom
Wrey at Holmes park was won by
Tom Wrey. It was a nifty match
lasting approximately twenty-five
minutes.
Yesterday before a large crowd the
National Cash Registers cinched the
pennant of the City league when they
defeated Morris & company, by the
score of 8 to 6. The pennant was
presented by Arthur Moran, muni
cipal umpire. The Sample Harts,
champions of the American league
will be their opponents in the very
immediate future to decide the class
B championship.
Although sensational stunts hap
pened during bouts of the Inter-city
league and Booster league teams, the
scores went skyward. The duel be
tween the Dreshers and Daily News
resulted in, the Dreshers being cleaned
by a 10 to 1 score.
The Krajicek jrs whipped the
Parsley Commission company by a
13 to 0 score. During this tangle Earl
Beers (a familar name) only allowed
two hits. In the Daily News Dresner
clash, -George Bernstein and Ralph
Spellman were the particular stars
with the club, each cornering three
hits, one for three cushions.
