THE BEE! OMAHA. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, - 1919. Murphy-Bid-Its Win Western Amatear Title From Gordons oi St Paul , Sandlot AA Championship Easily Captured by Omaha Locals Score at Will in Game Witnessed by Crowd Es timated at 11,000 Victory Entit'es Team to Play in Cleveland for U. S. Title. BY J. A. SHANAHAN The Murphy-Did-Its, champions of Omaha's Class A amateur base ball teams, won the western amateur championship yesterday afternoon at Fontenelle park by decisively defeat ing the Gordon-Ferguson clan from St. Paul, champions of Class AA in the Twin Cities. The final count was 14 to 4. 11,000 persons saw the game. By virtue of yesterday's victory, 6ert Murphy, backer of the winners, will take his team to Cleveland soon to meet the eastern champions. The winners of the Cleveland clash will hold the title of amateur base ball champions of the coutry. The Omahans dazzled the north erners yesterday in every depart ment of the game. Visitors Are Outclassed. The locals were seasoned veterans compared to the visitors. They out hit, outfielded and outgeneraled the northern champs in the field, while "'Butch" Hay made monkeys of them when they stepped up to hit. Stagefright, too, writhing its way into the hearts and knees of the visi tors, helped to make their defeat so con.plcte. To Harry Williams and Butch Hay, Bert Murphy's stellar battery, should go a large per cent of the credit for yesterday's victory. Williams batted 1.000 per cent, garnering three hits out of as many times to bat. His backstopping was supreme despite the testimony of the error column in the box score. Two errors are chalked up against him. Both were excusable. The first was a high throw to "Clink" Claire and the second occurred when he dropped the ball at home plate after a tangle with a runner. Hay whiffed 10 men. He kept their 11 hits scattered and had perfect control all during the nine frames. City Officials Help. Mayor Ed P. Smith, Commis sioner Tom Falconer and Al Scott, AMUSEMENTS.

APOLLO THEATER TONIGHT ETHEL CLAYTON in "MEN. WOMEN AND MONEY. LOTHROP nuur tuoui t- 1 IDCT1 T 17 Q AND I two rcala, and Cheater Outing. 1 BY WILLIAM O BLOZIES Lexington Park, St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 14. (Special.) One lone run decided the western amateur cham pionship here this afternoon for the class A title, when the crack Car dozos, champions of the St. Paul amateur base ball association, were victors over the the Union Outfit ting Co., Class B, city champions of the Omaha municipal amateur base ball association in the final game for the title. The score was 1 to 0. From start to finish the game was hard fought and it was one of the best played amateur championship contsts ever witnessed in this city. Both teams were in the best of con dition and displayed plenty of pep throughout the game. To Fred Moore, the crack right hander, goes the credit of winning the championship for St. Paul, as he was invincible and did not allow the Omaha champs a hit or run. The crack hurler also drove out the hit, a clean single to center field, in the fifth frame that brought in the only tally. Errors Lose Game. Neither team was able to send a man across until the fifth, when Bauman, the first man up, reached the initial sack on an error by Sko mal, which the third sacker should have easily caught. He advanced to second on another error by Gui notte. The northern champs secured four hits off Elmer Nufer, the big hurler for the Omaha team, but St. Paul deserved but one of them, as the other should have been fielded. Moore was given brilliant support by his teammates, although three errors were registered against them. Klue, at short; Lang, at first and Bauman at second fielded a bril liant game for the locals. The hit ting of Lang also featured. "Chubby" Potter, the star first sacker, played a brilliant fielding game for the Oniaha champs. Although defeated, the Union Outfitting company were in the best of spirits as it was no disgrace to be beaten by a team mncr stronger than they are and the Cardozos are considered a better and fascer team than the Gordon-Fergusons who were playing the Murphy-Did-Its at Omaha today.

The game was featured by sensa tinnal fielding on the part of Marty and Jim Collins, and heavy hitting by Manager Otto Williams, who contributed a home run. More than 15,000 had paid admis sions in the park when the game be gan. The Kansas City team made a desperate fight of it, but could not connect with "young" Graves' deliv ery when hits were needed. After losing the first game the Kansas City team refused to play the second game, even though a double-header was scheduled. By defeating the Kansas City team the Oniaha Armours qualified for the final series against the St. Louis Armour team next Saturday and on Sunday. With the local team winning the last -series, the final games are scheduled for Rourke park.

League officials declared the pen rant race was the closest in the league's history, pointing out that only 22 games separated the winning club from the one in last place. One of the features of the season was the batting of Joseph Wilhoit, a Wichita outfielder, who hit safely in 69 consecutive games, breaking the world's record.

For the fall Grand circuit race meeting of two weeks, beginning tomorrow, around $75,000 will be offered in class and stake. There are two outstanding fea tures in the meeting. For the first time a Columbus program will be operated on the three-heat plan, save for the early closing stakes and two or three-class events, in which the Jones plan of racing, in which horses standing low in the summary are retired at the end of the third heat at the discretion of the judges. For the first time also a full bat tery of pari-mutuel betting machines will be in use, the July trial of a few machines having proved very satisfactory.

SWANSQN HAD TO MUFFLE THE TELEPHONE Nerves Were All Upset from Four Years of Poor Health. Gains Twenty Pounds. "For the benefit of the thou sands who are suffering from stomach trouble and a run down condition I want to tell pf the won derful results I have gotten from the use of Tanlac," said Mrs. Lena Swanson of 1720 North Madison street, Peoria, Illinois, in relating her remarkable experience with th medicine, a few days ago. "My friends are simply amazed," she continued. "They all say I am now the picture of health. Why, just today, one of my friends told me I was looking ten years younger. and I certainly do feel that way. too. I have already gained twenty pounds in weight and have just finished my fifth bottle of Tanlac. "It was eight years ago, or more, that my stomach got out of order and my health began to fail. I fi nally got to feeling so badly that I lost interest in everything, gave up my church work, and found little pleasure in life. My food acted like poison to my system. I would bjoat up with gas until I did not look nat ural and just suffer agony. My heart would flutter, from tie ef fects of this gas, and weaken me un til I would almost faint. I would get so dizzy at times that tha house seeemd to be whirling 'round. No one knows, unless they have suffered the same way, how miserable T did feel. I at last got to where I had to almost stop eat ing and became so run down snd weak it was all I could do to get about the house. My nerves were so shattered that the least noise would upset me. I finally had to muffle the telephone as I would almost jump out of my chair when it rang. I slept but little at night and seldom woke up in the morn ings without a dull, nagging head ache. "My friends would call and sym pathize with me, but now they re-! joice with me and go 'way praising Tanlac. One day my brother, who had used Tanlac with fine results, brought me a bottle and talked ma into trying it. Well, when I finished that bottle my appetite had re turned, and I could eat better, and sleep better than in years. I didn't feel quite so nervous either, and then I knew I had at last found tha medicine I needed. I had been suf fering so long and was in such a badly run down condition that it took several bottles of Tanlac, to straighten me out, but anyone can look at me now and see that I am enjoying good health. I can now eat meats, pickle, cabbage, in fact, just anything and never have the least trouble with my stomach. My nerves are as calm and I sleep as soundly as when I was a child. I am just so grateful and happy for the return of my health that I want to tell everybody about Tan lar. I never grow tired praising it to my friends." Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy. Also For rest and Meany Drug Company in South Omaha and the leading drug-' gist in each city and town through out the state of Nebraska. Adv. i.
