Dcnnison By WILLIAM 0. BLOSZIES. " And the race wilt soon commence! Oh, boys, what a grand and glori ous feeling it will be when the teams in the seven leagues playing under the colors of the Municipal Amateur Base Ball association inaugurate the 19.il season next Saturday and sun- day afternoon, weather eonditious permitting". A number of the teams in the field this season and many of the players have been connected with the local association since its organization back in 1914, while there are some players making their initial appear ance and a few of the "old timers" of bygone days returning to the fold to renew old acquaintances. Many of last season's teams, in cluding the Paulson Fords, pennant winners of the American league and Sunday Class C city champions, have been unable to secure backing this year, due to the financial conditions.' The liooster, Union Jt'acihc ana North Omaha leagues have also failed to organize this year for the same reason. , Predict Banner Year, Officials of the Municipal Amateur SVPmf aWi, f( HC UKEOffASS BAIL Expect Large Entry List in . 7 Lnorlrin ..S Btise Ball association and league ofli cifels are predicting a banner year, despite the fact that there are not as njany teams, leagues and players in the association as in former years. ,i Providing that all of the amateur league contests are played this sea son in the seven leagues, followers of the national pastime will witness 323 official league contests free of charge. Of this number 191 will be played by the 26 Saturday teams and s2 tames by the 19 Sunday aggre gations. Apprdximately 675 players will be connected with the associa tion. Here is the way the leagues will line up for the season: i. Saturday Leagues. ' , Team G'm s Commercial, class A (f 45 Orrater Omaha, Clasa B........4 'f National, Class B Church, Clasa B... Bandar Leagues. MS A American. Class B Oat C'.ty, Class C Meetings in the Commercial, Church, Greater Omaha, Gate City leagues will be held Tuesday night, and the directors of the association will also meet on Tuesday night for the purpose of discussing plans for the opening of the season. All of the meetings, with the exception of the Church league, will be held at the citv hall. The Church leaguers f will meet at the Y. M. C. A. Church League to Meet. The Church league will adopt its schedule Tuesday night and will also act upon the franchise of the Hans corn Park church team, which ap plied for a berth last week. Opening games in the Commercial, Greater Omaha, City, American and Gate City leagues will be played as lollows: Commercial League. Armours against Swift & Co.

American Railway Express ' against Bis John Thomas (Dynamo) Denni- son, probably the greatest base ball character that Omaha has produced, entered the game 16 years ago, at the age of 10. That makes him 26 j ears and one month old. but the work the little "Dynamo" has gone through entitles him to a position among the managers. . Johnny Dcnnison was born and raised j this burg, which he rates as "the best li'l town in the world." When hardly out of his swaddling ciotnes, johnny organized the Oma ha Americans, a team of youngsters averaging about 10 years. After managing this team until he began wearing long pants, Dynamo en tered the professional ranks out in the state, playing with teams irMhc Mink and States leagues. The vcar 1914 saw Johnny Dcnni son managing the L,uxus diamond crew, champions of the Greater Omaha class A league, and later the champs of Omaha. After winning the city series, the Luxus machine copped the title of the entire west from Duluth. The famous Luxus gang was finally defeated by the Cleveland White Autos in a came played for the amateur championship of the world. A record-breakinc crowd of 125.- 000 fan-, almost as large ns the population, of Omaha, helped the Clcvelan tiers to take the game from Johnny's Luxus crew. In his five years as a manager of class A teams in Omaha, Dennison never managed a team that finished below first place in. the race. "Dynamo" Diunison fcivcs great credit to the Omaha Amateur IUsj Hall association which organization financed manv of his team's trips "The O. A. H. A. is absolutely the bes.t organization an aspirins sand- loiter can enter, said Dennison. Dcnnison has the unique record of having been ordered from his own park by his own paid umpire. Not onlythis insult; but he was escorted through the gate by his own police, man. But Johnny knew his "stuff." He climbed onto a neighboring pool hall soof and directed the playing of lusr team lrom this advantageous throne. And Johnny s team won th game. Dennison is also known as the "si lent leader" locally. At one time Johnny said that his popularity was due to the fact that so many people hated him. Besides winning all of his games in the field, he won his cases in arguments in tight places when the "rest of 'em" were closing in on turn at meetings of the as sociation. Johnny Dcnnison is manajriniy the Bowen nones tins season. He has assembled a squad of stars that should clean up evervthine that on poses them on a local or outside diamond.

To "get the best results from the new standardized ball golfers must swing light and short clubs. Low scorers like Jim Barnes, Bob Mc Donald and Walter Hagen who are quick to hop on a new idea discov ered the most satisfactory method to get distance with the standard ball was the use of short clubs and with little weight Barnes and Hutchison have whit tled the weight of their wooden clubs to 13 1-4 ounces. Bob McDon ald, the giant Scot., who is big enough to use a flagpole for swin fir ing purposes, has reduced his wood en clubs to 13 1-2 ouncs, and they are so short that a midget could wield them easily. Like Barnes. Hutchison. MrDnn. aid and other leading professionals, Walter Hagen, former national champion, has shaved his clubs. This is quite a departure as Hagen has always been extremely fond of heavy weapons. The tendency to empioy ngnt ana short clubs has been confine almost entirelv to professionals as they have been the only ones who have steadily play ed with the weight ball in tourna ments down south this winter. It has been the custom in the past that the pros are successfully initiating new fads in the old game and on this basis the amateur contingent will soon start to remove extra bal last from their clubs in order to meet changed conditions.

Omaha lost the second game of the three-game se ries with the Wichita Falls Spud ders this afternoon, because they didn't or couldn't hit in the pinches the final score being 6 to 5. Daniels and Mangum, the opposing pitchers, pitched approximately the same kmiq ot a game wnn ine ex ception that Daniels was touched for hits when they counted, while Man gum tightened tip when he was in danger and" was saved several times by the air-tight work of the infield. Due to the wind' that was blow ing towards the plate, long hits were in the minority, although Flatte bounced the pill against the venter field fence for a double in the sec ond inning. The hit went for naught when he was left stranded. This in ning was the best chance for the Buffaloes to score, for after Platte doubled, Lee singled, a quick return to the plate stopping Platte from' scoring.
