GREATER OMAHA
LEAGUE TO BE IN
FIELD THIS YEAR
Old Alamito Team Reorgan
izes, and Will Play Class A
Ball if Enough Teams ',
Join the Circuit. -
The Municipal Base Ball associa
tion' of 1919 is certain to i.umber
a Class A league as one of its or
ganizations. This was developed
yesterday when a team organized
"by a "well-known ball player was
ready to join a Class A circuit.
Wifh two clubs already lined up
and ready to enter a Class A loop
the addition of this new team as
sures Omaha of its prized Greater
Omaha league, the only Class A or
ganization in the city. .The two
clubs already lined up for the season
are flie Murphy-Did-Its, backed by
Bert Murphy, and the Nebraska
Power c6mpany, The Murphys
were the champions of the Greater
Omaha league last year, while the
Nbraska Power company team is a
new entry in the field.
Classs A Outlook.
There was much uncertainty as to
the formation of a Class A league
this year. To start with the play
ers refused to perform on city dia
monds, preferring to play within
enclosed parks and charging ad
mission fees. The playeFs claimed
they ha'd a right to charge admis
sions and share in the gate receipts.
This the association refused to rec-:
ognize. After 'much squabbling and
fussing around the pliyers gave in
and things looked rosy once more.
It later developed, however, that
there were not enough tems in the
field to make up a Class A ieague,
two clubs being lined up while at
least five such teams were needed
to, form such a circuit. However,
with this new addition, offiIals of
the Muny association are confident
that they will be able to put a Class
A league in the field which will be
stronger than evef before.
Composed of Stars.
The new team is headed by James
ijutej, star ama'eur player and re
cently given an honorable discharge
from the navy. The new club is
made up of most "of the stars who
were on the famous Alamito team
of 1916. Jim says that the team is
a world beater and that hevill have
tlie bc.t nine in the city, barring
ndtie. The team is lapking for a
backer now and the sportsman who
is figuring on backing a class A
club this year is advised to grab this
bunch before it is too late.
Sthej was manager of the Ala
mitos in 1916. The following year
he played with the Burgess-Nash
team in the Greater Omaha league
and made a great record with that
ninex. He was .so good that Bill
Rourke of Omaha decided to give
him a tryout with his club. He did
not make good right off the reel, but
shewed great promise and had it
not been for the Great war Sutcj
might have been performing for
some Western League club now.
There is a possibility that . the
Loneeways of Council Bluffs, 'who
finished second in -the Greater Qm
aha league last year, will enter a
team in the same organization this
year. Should the boys across the
river enter a club, Omaha will be
sure to see a class A league in mo
tion this year.

Grand Larceny Charge
to Be Filed Against
' Swan, Hatfield, O'Neil
Charges of grand larceny will be
filed today against William Swan,
Fay Hatfield and Francis O'Neil,
Council Bluffs, by Assistant County
Attorney -Ready.
Hatfield and O'Neil, minors, were
arrested Friday night at Seventeenth
and Douglas streets in the act of
stealing an automobile. They told
the police that Swan had pointed
out the car to them and told them
where they cpuld dispose of it "for
$50.
"The car was not moved from its
place by the boys," said Attorney
Ready, "and prosecution of a grand
larceny charge must show that the
stolen property was moved. Under
the law passed February 5 by the
state legislature, effective on that
date, however, it is criminal ; to
"conspire to commit a felony and
the penalty for such conspiracy is
not more "than. $10,000 fine, or two
years in the penitentiary, or botlj."'

THERE seems to be some chirping as to whether a fight with no de
cision is better than no fight with a decision. Philly has the first
kind and London the last.
Fight bugs would rather pipe a good ballyhoo with a flivver verdict
than a flivver scuffle with a good decision. But when both the crime
and the judge's verdict are duds, you can't blame the fight fans for
thinking the worm in the chestnut is twins.
-Chinese Scoring Sy stem.
The English boxing system is "protect yourself at all times, and may
the 4est man lose." Ducking, sptinting and other field events all horn
into the scoring. If the loser parries 4,567 knuckles with his nose, he
wilts because of his excellent judgment of distance. Didn't miss the
other bird's fist once.
If he absorbs 475 busts on the chinpiece Aid ducks the same num
ber, he wins because of his wonderful dodging. If the loser gallops
around the works with the winner trying to hang one on his beezer,
the loser wins because the winner didn't tag Him. 1
Almost Perfect.'
The best feature about Londdn boxing is that the third man isn't
allowed in the ring. The sbn-of-a-marine-chef shouldn't be allowed in
the building.
' s
Lynch anci Wilde.
Credit should be donated to Wilde for staking Lynch to 16 pounds
of bone and sinew. We don't 'know how much was bone and how much
was sinew, but the first is more valuable when it comes to shedding
blows from the brow. A good boneclad skull is punchproof.
The dope on their recent tableau vivant in London shows .that Lynch
grabbed 11 out of 15 rounds. According to the old adding machinery,
this gives him the nomination by a few yards of majority. But when
the returns from the outlying referees came in. Lynch piped that the bal
lot had been stuffed like an Xmas turkey.
There is no use squawking at a National Sporting club decision, -but
even the most conservative London paper admitted that the referee may
have awakened at the wrong time. '
Some London Press Chirps.
THE YEARLY NEWS (Published daily). Lynch had Wilde snip
ping out paper dolls for eleven stanzas last night, but lost the decision in
the sixteenth round. It was a 15-round fight.
THE WEAKLY We don't know whether the bally referee was a
believer in the occult, but those smacks Wilde took on the jaw weren't
spiritualistic rappings by a blooming jugful. The referee- handed up his
decision on a, slate covered with queer hieroglyphics which he claimed
were written by his lamented uncle.
THE LONDON GOOP We can't agree with our bounding con
temporary that Lynch was the winner. Ve admit hat Vilde.was badly
chewed up, but there is something more to a fight than the mere brawl
ing and punching. Lynch is a bruiser, while Wilde is the scientific fight
er who skips from gong to gong like a barefooted Greek dancer in a briar
patch. His footwork was marvelous, and while Lynch landed the most
blows. Wilde was the more graceful of the two.
THE SPORTING GAZETTE When a cowgets hit by a railroad
train the jury doesn't award the damages to the engineer. It's fiie farm
er who grabs the verdict. Which is the reason why the referee gave the
decision to Wilde's manager. Wilde was the cow.

Manager Jackson loaned a uni
form to a young fellow in soldier's
uniform yesterday who said he
would like to work out a little. His
name is Jess Kranda and when he
got into the uniform he tossed a few
easy ones with the rest of the fel
lows and took third base when the
infield practice started. He startled
the witnesses by the easy manner
in which he scooped up the i fast
grounders and his throwing to Jack
son at fijst was fine. The Omaha
club may have a local ''find" in this
fellow. Eight years ago, before join
ing the army and going to Hono
lulu, Kranda was a third baseman
and pitcher for the Holly's, a local
amateur club. His family has lived
in Nevada for seven years, but Jess
says he expects to make his home
here.

FIVE ROURKES
PRACTICE WITH
MANAGER BILL
Balance of Team Expected in
by Morning; Corderman
Shows Good Behind Plate
and Bats Well.
Five of the Omaha players al
ready under contract reported to
Manager Jackson yesterday morn
ingand were out in the afternoon
for two hoflrs' practice. The field
was a little heavy from the rain of
the night before, but the -boys were
able, to get around in fairly good
style.
The infield was too soggy to get
much satisfactory work, but the
outer gardens were in good enough
shape to travel aound in.
Kopp, Fuhr and Manske were the
pitchers on hand and they each
threw for batting practice. Hale
and Corderman, catchers, took turns
warming ip the heavers.
A few of the local amateur players
were out to help the boys work and
a returned soldier, Jess Kranda, just,
back from service with the regular
army in Honolulu made a decided
impression on Prexy Rourke and
Manager Jackson. He was already
in good shape, having been playing
ball with the soldiers- in Honolulu.
He covered third base for a while
and scooped up the daisy cutters in
fine style. - "
At bat, he smeared everything
that crossed the dish and his throw
ing in' the field was accurate Kranda
said he expected to make Omaha his
home for a time at least and it is
not unlikely that he will havs. a job
with thevRourkes to keep hiin here.
The boys threw the ball around a
little and then took turns at the bat.
Jackson batted a few flies to the
outfield and some infield practice
and a run twice around the field
finished up the first day's work.
The other players were expected
in sometime during the evening and
this afternoon they will all be out
for a little work. Bill is pleased
with the showing of the players al
ready on hand and hopes the rest
of the team will show as well.
Corderman looked good at the
plate and with the big glove. If the
first workout is any criterion, he
will probably be a first string
catcher.

Fifty Miles an Hour Not Too
Fast for Friend Wife to Ride
It may be folly to drive 50 miles
an hour on a motorcycle when you
have a young lady with you in the
side car of your machjne, but it's
all right if she's your wife. That's
the philosop.hy William Hatfield,
2002 California street,, upheld when
he was arrested last night for speed
ing. Motorcycle Officer Urbanic chased
Hatfield frpm Twenty-fourth and
Pine streets to Twenty-fourth and
Vinton, at a 50-mile-an7hour clip
before he could overtake him.
Hatfield explained that he was
only learning to drive and was
shpwing friend wife how well he was
progressing.
"You can't have much regafd for
her life if you'rethat reckless when
she's with you." admonished Cap
tain Heitfeld. "Oh, that's all right
- -she's my wife," responded Hat
field. Hatfield was charged with speed
ing and driving, with the cut-out
open. He was released on $25 cash
bond. Mrs. Hatfield is a niece of
Police Sergeant Sattr Morris.

'City Plan to Start
Boycott on Butter
Salt Lake City, April 7.-;Until
there is a substantial reduction in
the price of butter in Salt Lake
City that product is to be made the
subject of a drastic boycott by
members of the city federation of
women's clubs. This action waa
decided upon today at a meeting'
. of the federation when it was de
clared that good butter is now
selling here at 72 cents a pound.
This is an increase of 2 cents a
pound since last Saturday. The
plans of the members call for an
"endless telephone system" of pro
moting the boycott. Every mem
ber of the federation is pledged to
call up three women friends and
pledge them to refrain from buy
ing butter until there is a sub
stantial reduction, each woman so
called to in turn call and pledge
three other women. No limit has
been placed for stoppage of the
boycott. ,
