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.

festivities. The mayor essayed to
pitch. Scott caught and Falconer
was the first man up.
Following Falconer Meyer Paper,
,-hortstop for the St. Paul aggrega
tion, stepped to the plate. He electri
fied the crowd all during the game.
He was the only man on the visiting
team that showed signs of real base
ball talent. Paper led off with a
screaming double to center, went to
third on a fielder's choice and scored
on a sacrifice fly by Novak.
The Murphys tied the score in
their half of the first, frame. Payne
got on on a fielder's choice, stole
second and tallied when Harry Will
iams lined a single over third.
Score at Will.
The Gordon-Fergusons didn't
score again until the locals had ac
quired enough to win several games.

from neht field, tangled with him
at home plate and dropped the ball.

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.

Hiland Park by 5-to-3 Score

The Oniaha Armours eliminated
the Kansas City Armours in the
championship series of the Armour
plants' base ball teams, playing but
one game at Kansas City, winning
by a score of 11 to 5. Andy Graves
hurled for the Gate City boys and
Jack Lacy was back in the lineup
and caught.
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. There is a move on
foot to have the games switched to
St. Louis, but the Omaha plant offi
cials are fighting hard to secure the
privilege of playing the final series
in Omaha. The score:

Western League Has
Finished Season, With
St. Joseph the Winner
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 14. The
Western league base ball season
closed today with St. Joseph the
pennant winner, having won 78 of
135 games played. Tulsa finished
second with 77 games won in 140.
The others finished in the order
named: '
Wichita, Des Moines, Oklahoma
City, Sioux City, Joplin and
Omaha.
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.
Grand Circuit Races
at Columbus to Be
for $75,000 Purses
Columbus, O., Sept. 14. 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. Of all the events list
ed but one, the free-for-all trot looks
to be unlikely to fill.

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."
