Championship honors for the 1920 state semi-pro title was settled yes terday afternoon at Rourke park, when the Armour Packing Co. team, Jocal semi-pros, copped the (first , contest of a double-header from the Bowen Furniture Co., city class A amateur and Nebraska state amateur champions, with a score of 6 to 4, thereby winnig the title in two straight victories. f . The second game of the double-bill played as an exhibition fray, easily went to the new champions, 13 to 1. rrom start to finisp, the first , game was hotly contested and was not over until Lane made the third out in the ninth inning,, when, with a runner on third and second, Marty Collins, in left field for the Packers, saved the day by making a brilliant 1 running catch. Had Collins failed to catch the ball the score porbably would have been tied. Graves Again .Wins. "Andy" Graves, the 46-year-old veteran of the Armours, again had the honor of pitching his team to the semi-pro title, and at the close of the game, was congratulated byftis teammates and many friends, who In former years have seen "Andy" bring home the honors. - Uraves allowed the Bowens nine hits, four of which were bunched in the seventh, inning, when the Bowens scored three runs. Wolf started the seventh with a bunt. stole second and third, and scored tn Grimm's single. Grimm stole second and scored on McAndrews single., McAndrews 4ook second on Lane's out and tallied on Wilhume's single. In the second the Bowens scored their first run when Grimm reached first on William's error, stole second and came home on Mc Andrews' hit-' , Errors Costly for "Bones." "Lefty" Wilhume, on the mound for the Bowens, allowed but four hits, but errors by his teammates at the critical times proved his down fall. The Armours scored a pair in the second when Vernon singled to center and scored when Wolf let the ball roll through his legs. Graves reached first on Wilhume's error, took second when Al Graves walk ed, advanced" to third on Williams' sacrifice, and scored on Hazen's sacrifice fly. - Bases "on balls to Corcoran and Echtermeyer, singles by M. Collins and Wachtler, errors by Wilhume and Lane and v passed ball by Lane netted the Armours four in the sev enth. - In the second game both teams changed their batting order and ihe Armours landed on Pitcher "Zip" Woosley for 15 hits, including a pair of doubles by Corcoran and Reed. Hits by Wachtler and Smith and a 'pair of triplesby Al Graves added to the Packers' total. Ar mours fattened their batting aver ages at the expense of Woosley, while the Bowens were only able to secure one hit off "Snuffy" Smith, that being made in the fourth in ning after two out by E. Nufer. Vernon's steal of home for the Armours in the sixth inning was one of the features of the second game. Smith was wild in the first -ning, walking three men, which gave the Bowens their only run. Yesterday's double-header closed the 1920 amateur and semi-pro title in Omaha. , ' S The score: . .' - BOWENS. I ARMOrRS. AB.H.O.A. ' AB.H.O.A. Smith.

No 1920 crime is completely es tablished without a ' master' ti'.ind steering the works by the ears, A mail order detective who couldn't find a Chinee in Hong Kong is paged to track the perpetrators of a fiendish crime like throwing snow balls in July or cuckooing back at a cuckoo clock. He tosses the raisin of my story into the beevp of obvisouness,' and the result is a nation-wide search for a master mind who parked the dead ly chewing gum under the sheltering arm of the one-winged lunch chair. One poor sap with two cases of insomnia will shoot ap; exhausted bottle at a musical cat in a backyard merely as a precautionary measure to insure the American lives and property in times of unrest. The cat is no better dead than it was alive, j but its farewell sonata is the signal , for an augmented orchestra of metropolitan police to trail the mas ter mind to its lair in the master skull. The master mind who evolved the fiendish scheme ot catching mice with burned cheese and a 'nickel trap is still at large under its master tou pee and its master two-dollar hat. A quart of water-cured milk is kid naped from theduplex dumbwaiter. It is another" manifesation of the master mind that has the police of two continents stayjng awake in the daytime. No trace to the crime but deserted yacht, a family album completely loaded with funny, faces of the master mind s master relatives and a herd of elephants used by the master mind for touring the suburbs 1 unobserved by the lynx-eyed'detec- tives. Who is this master mind that has the London, Paris and points west police twiddling their brains in thttaiblike helpfulness? What does this man drink that men call him great? Could he be apprehended driving a steam calliope the wrong way up a one-way street? Who. is milking the parlor lamo of its life-sustaining oil? The master mind. Law and order have fallen off like the1 liquor advertising, and the .master mind continues to ruiar doorbells, put ticktacks on the neigh bors' windows and tie tin cans to the tails of the imoorted Beleian no- lice dogs. ' , The doormat on the federal jail step says "Welcome" to the master mind, but he is still at large swip ing umbrellas, making faces at the baby and dropping plugged pennies into the suhwav rhirlf tnarhinee ' Yr- TENANT VS.
