(5rruxAa Mlz DEMAND MAJOR LEAGUES ABIDE BY AGREEMENTS Minors' Head Says Premier Organization Cannot Repu diate Pact Relative to Players. New York, Aug. 3. Demanding that the major league live up to the agreement entered into with the minors at the conference in this city last January. David L. Fultz, presi dent of the International league and spokesman for the minor associa tions, stated today "we are not go ing to lose the fruits of the arrange ment made last winter simply be cause the majors now find that they made a bad bargain." Fultz. in a prepared statement, outlined the case of the minor base ball leagues, in part as follows: "Although the minor leagues of professional baseball have been the great developers of playing talent, they have never received the finan cial reward which their important position in the baseball world would justify. "This condition was unquestion ably brought about to a large extent by the draft rule which permitted the major leagues to arbitrarily take from each minor league club at the end of each season one or more of its players at stated prices for each classification. Enabled to Withdraw. "In an endeavor to lessen the burden of this unfair rule, the major leagues, at a meeting in New York, January 16. 1919, requested a revis ion upward of the draft prices, placing that for an AA player at $7,500. This request, Mr. Herr mann acting for the major leagues, at once denied. He said, however, that if the minor league clubs wished to do -so, they had the con sent of the major leagues to with draw from the national agreement and operate alone. This offer the minor leagues at once accepted. "The National association on the following day drew up a tentative form of agreement embodying the arrangements made at the joint meeting. "The tentative agi-eement was submitted to the National commis sion but was never signed by them. "Tt annears that the National league, at least, has gone on record as stating that the agreement made with the minors in January is a scrap of paper, and there is a clear intimation that the majors expect to again draft minor league players. "The lifting of the draft means an advantage of at least $75,000 and possibly $100,000 to each one of the Class Art. leagues. Championship Games inA American and Gate City Leagues Draw Big Crowds Townsend Gun Company Break Tie With Omaha Printing Team in Exciting Contest; Riggs Opti cals Shut Out Paxton-Vierlings by Score of 2 to 0; Association Officials Making Preparations for City Series. By WILLIAM O. BLOZIES. Championship honors for the season of 1919 in both the American league, a class B circuit, and the Gate City league, class C organization, were settled on the battlefield at Fon tenelle park yesterday afternoon, before one of the largest crowds in the history of amateur base ball.

The Supply 0 Omaha Real Estate Is Limited No More of It Will Be Manufactured These Facts Make Omaha Real Estate a Desirable Investment AN INVESTMENT WHICH IS SAFE, PAYS A GOOD INCOME, AND INCREASES IN VALUE IS A DESIRABLE INVESTMENT. AN INVESTMENT IN OMAHA REAL ES TATE HAS ALL THESE ADVANTAGES. This statement No. 6 gives further facts that cause far-sighted investors to continue to put their money in Omaha Real Estate, and to have absolute confidence in its security. The President of the Omaha Real Estate Board a few days ago stopped in Big Springs, Neb., and was told that in the territory tributary to that small station, 2,000,000 bushels of wheat will be threshed this year. -He knows such conditions, prevailing all over Nebraska, will make Omaha business expand. SOME EXAMPLES: A. W. Gordon two years ago bought a quarter of a block at 9th and Dodge for $22,000. He leased it this year on a $90,000 valuation. W. S. Blackwell in May, 1913, sold to F. J. Far i rington, 160 acres on tha Lincoln Highway for $36,000. Mr. Farrington sold this land last week for $75,000. J. C. Allgaier in January, 1919, bought 5003 Capi tol avenue for $6,250. He has refused $8,00Q for the property since. NOTE E. E. Peake, big Realtor of Kansas City, one of Omaha's rival cities, in a speech to the Omaha Real Estate Board, June 5, said Omaha wiil have 500,000 population in ten years. He's one of many con servative men who have that opinion. OMAHA REAL ESTATE BOARD Oraaka. Neb., U. S. A. 308 So. 18th St. tie in the Gate City league with the Omaha Printing Co. Juniors by de feating them in one of the hardest fought games staged thus far be tween these two aggregations, the final score being 4 to 3, and the Riggs Optical Co. won from the Paxton-Vierlings by a 2 to 0 score, in a fast and exciting contest. In the opener, the game was a neck-to-neck race between the Gun ners and the Prints, neither team being able to tally until the last half of the fifth stanza, when the Prints sent one man across the plate on two singles and an error, Townsends Take Lead. However, in the first of the' sixth, the Townsends came back strong and took the lead when they drove out two hits coupled with an error, which netted them two tallies, but the Prints evened up matters in their half, on a walk, a sacrifice and an overthrow. Nothing was doing then until the first half of the ninth, when the Gu..neis again took the lead when Chleborad became wild and hit a pair, combined with a few hits, which netted them two runs. After two men were out in the ninth, the Prints started a batting rally and almost tied the score. Chleborad reached third and Brandt second. Luebbe then cracked out a single to right scoring Chleborad and Brandt tried to score on the throw-in, as he was but a short dis tance behind Chleborad, but a nifty throw by Manager John Satrapa in right field caught Brandt at the plate h several feet, and the 1919 pennant race in the City league was finished, with the Gunners the vic tors. Race Hard Fought. The race between these two teams for the championship was hard fought throughout the season. First the Townsends were in the " lead, and then the Prints took the lead. In the game between these two teams on July 4, the Prints took the lead and held it until last Sunday, the closing date of that organization when they lost to the Hermansky Pharmacy team, while the "unners were victorious over the Beselins. 1 Both Chleborad and Rand divided the pitching honors, each striking out eleven men and allowing but four hits.

Errors Lose Game. Despite the fact that Ralph Beers, on the mound for the Paxton-Vier-ling crew against the Riggs Optical company, allowed but one lone hit, that being made in the seventh round, by Left Fielder Arthur Yates, the first man up, which was a single to right field. He lost his game by a score of 2 to 0, on account of er rors by his teammates. The Riggs-Paxton-Vierling battle was one of the best and most ex citing witnessed thus far, as both teams were fighting hard to win the game. Had the Ironworkers won, the race in the American league would have resulted in a tie between these two teams. Manager James Baumgardner was on the firing line for his aggrega tion, and also hurled a remarkable contest, allowing his opponents but three scratch hits, one a double by Catcher Trummer in the fifth frame, while Feeney, formerly with the Mickle Victrolas who was allowed to Amateur Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE.

Baumgardner whiffed nine batters while Beers only sent four men back via the strikeout route. Failing to hit in pinches also proved the Iron workers' downfall, as they had sev en men left on bases, while the Riggs had but four. The Optical batters were strong on sacrifice hits, making five; and three of their batters reached the initial sack by being hit. Score in Third. In the third round the Riggs sent their first score of the game across the plate, when after Cooney whiffed, Claude Highsmith was given a base on balls, but was forced at second by Smith. Smith then stole second, and on Keiser's hit to Ray Luebbs at second, which the latter muffed and threw low to Feeney at first, Smith scored. The final score of the game was regis tered by the Optical crew in the eighth. Cooney, the first man up was safe at first on Barsball's error, sacrificed to second by Highsmith and took third on Smith's sacrifice. Cooney tallied and Kieser went to second when Beers pulled a "boner" by making a balk. The score: RIGGS Hlgh'lth, cf 1 Smith, c 1 Reiser, ss 1 Maho'y, 2b 4 Yates. If 3 T.Bau'r, cf 3 JIansler, 3b 1 J.

Plan City Series. The other game in the American league between the Sample-Harts and the Universal Motor Co., was forfeited to the former on account of the Motor Crew failing to ap pear. With the championship settled in all of the leagues with the exception of the Commercial league, the Class B Saturday afternoon organization, which resulted in a three-cornered tie between the Iten Biscuit Co., Western Union and the Orchard Wilhelm team, as the result of the Iten's losing to the Telegraphers last Saturday, association officials are now making preparations for the city series. President Robert Kroll of the Commercial league announced yes terday that he will hold a meeting of his organization, probably Wed nesday night, at which time these three teams will draw to see who will clash Saturday. From present plans, it is likely that one game will be staged Satur day afternoon in the Commercial league, and the winners will play the third team Sunday afternoon, with one of the Class C series con tests as a curtain raiser. A meeting of the association directors will be held the earlier part of this week, at which final plans will be completed. The Curo Mineral Springs won from the Harding Creamer. Co. at Elmwood park by the score of 7 to 6, in an exhibition game. Both of these teams are members of the Inter-City league. Four Held for Lynching. Gilmer, Texas, Aug. 3. Charged with lynching Chilton Jennings, a negro, here July 24, four white men were taken into custody by Texas rai gers, after a thorough investiga tion had been made by the Upshur county grand jury. The report of the investigation disclosed that less than 15 persons actually participated in the lynching of the negro, who was 'charged with assaulting a woman. As the result of the Western Un ion Telegraph company being vic torious over the Iten Biscuit Co., Saturday afternoon, by the score of 3 to 2, in one of the best played con tests thus far this season, the 1919 Commercial league finished a three cornered tie, between these two teams and the Orchard-Wilhelm crew. The league was officially closed last Saturday, but because of a pro tested game that had been ordered replayed, between the Iten Biscuit Co., leaders, and the Western Un ions, President Kroll scheduled the game yesterday. Since the race is a three-cornered tie, the city series game scheduled for next Saturday, between the Pearl Memorials, champs of the Church league, and the pennant win ners of the Commercial league, has been called off. President Kroll will call a meeting of the three managers this week, at which time a schedule will be adopt ed to play off the tie. Saturday's game was attended by a large crowd. It was a pitcher's battle between Bob Greko of the Biscuit crew and Pipky of the Telegraphers, with honors slightly favoring the latter. Greko allowed six hits and struck out seven, while Pipky allowed five hits and whiffed nine.

As the result of yesterday morning's play In division 1 of the Bee Junior Base Ball association, three teams, the Subur bas, West Dodge Dairy and the Woodman of the World are tied for first honors In that loop. The Suburbas, leaders, were de feated by the "Woodman of the World team by a score of 6 to 2, and the West Dodge Dairy were awarded a forfeit over the Charles Street Merchants. The Suburbas-Woodmen of the World contest was a pitchers' battle between Ralph Moore and Edward McAvoy, with the former having a shade better of the argument. Moore allowed but 6 hits and struck out 11, while McAvoy was touched for 9 hits and whiffed 7. Solblnskv's home-run drive with two on In the fifth frame was responsible for the lodgemon'a victory. The game was pro tested by the Suburbas, a they claim Ralph Moore Is a class C pitcher, having played with the Originals of the Inter City league. The argument will be settled thts week. Will Welntroub's hitting featured for the Kaiman Insurance Co. victory over the Locust Street Merchants, as he made three triples, two two-baggers and two singles out of seven trips to the plate. The final score was 25 to 6. By their victory yes terday the Insurance team went Into a tie for second place with the Merchants.
