( THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 11, 1916. THE CHAVEEEVR- WHO VIS (TT Hd HOME TOWN, THE CHAUFFEUR- WHO SAID HED NEVER WEPR . AUNIFORM TRY/ING— o ook AT EASE Judgments UESDAY, Wednesday and Thursday this week Omaha will entertain the annual Western Handicap Trap Shooting tournament.\~This will be the first of a number of big sporting events which will be held in maha during the summer months. The Western Handicap is the second largest trap shooting tournament held. The Grand American alone surpasses it. It is probable several hundred blue rock shooters will come to Omaha for the event. Its impor- tance to Omaha is as great as that of a big convention. To the Omaha Gun club must go the credit for bringing this event to Omaha. The local club made its fight all alone. Single-handed Ray ingsley ~de- scended on the Interstate association at the Grand American at Chicago last year and made the fight for the local club. He won, And by that victotry Omaha once more resumes its place at the togp of the 'trai) shoot- ing ladder. In 1911 and in 1912 the Western Handicap was held in Omaha. Omaha held the center of the stage then. Then the old Omaha Gun club faded from view. Trap shooting .became stagnant in Omaha. But two years ago an ardent band of local marksmen organized the new Omaha Gun club and in these short two years have worked wonders. Omaha has come into its own again, and we'll have to admit its “hats off to the Omaha Gun club.” Western league magnates would would like to know where some of the scouts are this year. There hasn’t been a scout in Western league ter- ritory yet this year and the moguls who possess likely looking talent are worrying. The absence of the scouts shows that major league clubs are adopting considerably different tac- tics this year. They are scout- ing the colleges. In the past the ivory hunters passed up the colleges ~ without as much as a glance. College athletes were scorned. Then along came on Connie Macl. Connif signed a number of collegians. Eddie Collins and Jack Berry are a couple. Those collegians proved stars of first magnitude at the jump. Now every manager in the league di- rects his scouts to scour the colleges before assailing the bushes and that's why our Western league talent is be- Ing overlooked thus far this season. The annual Nebraska state golf tournament promises to be a truly state-wide event this ycar. Last week Secretary Shafer announced that eigh- teen golf links in Nebraska now hold franchises in the state association. A couple of years ago the state tourne: was practically an Omaha event. With| Since they disposed of Slagle, the not over half a dozen exceptions, all of the golfers participating were Omahans. Even last year Lincoln was the only other city in the state to have noticeable representation. But this year it is expected nearly every one of the eighteen clubs in the as- sociation will be represented. It is well. Probably the Omaha contin- gent will have things pretty much their own way in the ca‘pn:re ? trophies, but the increase in the er- thusiasm in the state bids well to predict Omaha won't always reign su- preme, and that's what makes a state tournament. Lee Fohl, who is leading the Cleve- Jand Indians in their wonderful flight toward the pennant; is upsetting tonsiderable of the managerial dope. -« Fohl admits he hasn’t laid down a bunch of rules for his athletes to ob- serve and even admits he has no dis- like to cigarettes. Lee says as long as a player plays ball and hustles he can smoke as many cigarettes as he desires. On the other hand Clarke Griffith and a number of other man- agers have placed an absolute ban on cigarettes. Which is right? John L. Sullivan, who, it will be remebered, insisted Frank Moran had all the best of Willard in the recent heavyweight scrap, has come forth with an assertion that Oran Kilpat- rick, Harvard’s strong man, would be able to lick Jess Willard if he would only turn professional. Mr. Kilpat- rick, as can be seen by his name, is Irish. There aren’t any Irish pro- fessional heavyweights who can stand up to Mr. Willard and this short- coming on the part of the descend- ents of Erin is evidently causing John some discomfiture. A year ago critics were wont to at- tribute-the failures of the Braves to the propensities of Johnny Evers to get kicked out of the game. It was said that with Evers in the game every day Stallings would have beaten Moran in the pennant flight. This year John has been a tame and tran- quil athlete; he hasn’t had a fight with and ump yet. And now those same critics explain the failures of the Braves as the result of a lack of €] and fighting spirit on the part oF g Evers. Can you beat it? 4 f MAR WITHA CAR— TOWN For- TAKET A TR [ [] wio LIVET NEYD0OR TV THE ™E AR AN MOLL WHO A RUOE ONCE A MO KEEPS SMAING- LY ‘ “\‘ ‘“H\; ‘\ \ | “\h ik TART AN 'L M » \\\ l\\\ \\\\l\W THE TOBB/E Wit oWwAMS A FLWVER. AND \WHO HAT MORE STUFF ON 1T AN ABAND WAGOA CARRIES™ i LOCAL AMATEURS WANT FIELD MEET Would Have Contests Staged as Windup of Sandlot Season in Omaha. MANY SCRAPS ADJUDICATED By FRANK QUIGLEY. At the next meeting of the board of directors of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association it will be definitely decided whether or not an amateur field day will be held in this city towards the expiration of the season. Last season the directors expected to hold a field meet in conjunction’ with one of the final games of the city championship series, but as the proper interest was not manifested by the local pill shooters, consequently the propdsition was waste-basketed. The directors worked untiringly to pro- mote a field meet last season, but their efforts proved futile simply be- cause they did not have the co- operation of the players. Settle Disputes. The contest between the Corr Efec- trics and McCarthys, protested be- cause the manager claimed he was un- able to change pitchers at a critical moment because the umpire would not let him on the diamond because he was not decorated with a uniform, was ordered to stand as played. The Nourse Oil protested a debate with the C. B. Athletics because the latter played a couple of “blokes” not under contract, but investigationf showed that the Nourse Oil violated the same rule, so the game was or- dered to stand as played. The row protested between the South Omaha Midgets and Mazdas, which resulted in a 10 to ‘0 score, was ordered to stand as played be- cause the protest hinged on a trivial matter, 5 The Gate City Machine Works and the Homesteads were ordered off the diamond by the umpire at the ex- piration of the fourth inning because the Gate City boys were too talkative. This game was ordered continued from where they left off and instruc- tions were given to the leader of the Eate City grew to make the boys be- ave. Depose Joe Slagle. Because Joseph Slagle inoculated the idea into his thought reservoir that all he had to do in order to be president of a league was to be elect- ed, the magnates of said league de- cided to relieve him of the honor. league elected Milton Holland presi- dent and Bert Tierney secretary. Sev- eral matters that needed attention have been repaired and the league is now able to plow through the season, Down on the green at Riverview park this afternoon the Chris Lycks and the Omaha Bicycle Indians will stage a battle tgat will temporaril; decide which team will roost on perc one in the American league. At ‘the present writing these teams stand knotted with an average of .833. Only one game has betn dropped by each team since the bell tolled.

With Shields behind the clubbing station, it fs_a difficult matter for opponents of the Beselins to pilfer bases. The Modern Woodmen, No. 045, team has been reorganized and hereafter will be under the supervision of Pete Pukerxon.. Clink Clair hit the ralls for Gree! the other day, where he will pick up a salary for the balance of the season.

He can also club ‘em. The Ramblers only garnered six hits last Sunday and Hanson, center fielder, nailed three, one for three, another for two and a single. Abboud, the doughty diminutive box ar- tist for the Beddeos, whiffed sixteen of the Trimbles, but was unable to land a victory. Rhyno, the dude that shoots 'em for the Omaha Beverago Company tribe, has a bunch of twisters that are hard to straight- en out. Billle Harris is doing grand work for the National Cash Registers.

Last Sun@ay Hans Troutner performed on the mound for Trimble Bros. and he dis- tinguished himself by holding the Beddeos to one run. Lawler and Adams pulled off some %l\annmenul stuff during the Holly and eselin duel that helped considerably to ice this wrangle. Hobbins Hoffman, one of the Trimble Bros.' twirlers, performed in the left patch last Sunday and he pulled down a couple labeled hits. The C. B. Joe Smitha are still looking for out-of-town games.

First base is now well taken care of for the Joe Bmiths by Oak Mahoney. He is a past master at developing sensational stuff into easy put-outs. Suhgarden Custodian Ryan of the Bur- gess-Nash crashed three on the smeller last Sunday, one for the limit, another for a pair, and a single. Hitting when hits are needed and the wonderful offensive work of Long, Maher, Krajicek and Bherer has won most of the games for the Beselins. On the middle pillow Frank Hubatka looks rather sugary for the Corr Electris. He has a bullet peg, picks ‘em up easy and his roof is above par. Stitt, third baseman for the Bourgeols, landed on two out of three for two bags against the Luxus, and he handled four chances wihout a blur.

Back of the club Rossiter of the Beddeos holds up a pitcher in great styls. If he keeps on going up the ladder he will be among the king bees some of theso days. Any out-of-town team wishing trouble with the Omaha Bicycle Indlans on Fire- cracker day will be accommodated if they call Douglas 8176 and squawk for Gerhard.

Zelger and Zeiger' are a battery that make considerable trouble for members of the American league. With the stick they are humdingers. They belong to the SBouth Omaha Merchants. Another real ball player has been cor- raled by ager Peterson of the Modern Woodmen No. 945 in Catcher Wilson. This player shows a record behind him and com- ment s unnecessary. Now Albert Watt has changed positions. He started the season on the mound, but now he is holding down the other end. He decided he would be of more benefit to the team behind the bat. ' After belng on the sick list for several weeks, August Petrek s again able to be on duty for the Albright Merchants. He will hoist 'em over the crockery against the Oma Beverage company today. In the sun garden Shorty Kreigler takes care of everything that hovers in_ his di- rection in a faultless manner. Here of late he has been zipping the pill rather hard. He is with the Corr Electrics. Harry Melchior has organized a team con- sisting of the following players, to be known as the “Omaha All Sf ' Bandan, Baker, Vernon, Talbot, Probst, Charmquist, Bright- bough, Honack Willlamson and Carmody.

Omaha Golfers to Go to Minneapolis Omaha golfers are planning to take in the Transmississippi tourna- ment at Minneapolis in force this year. As the Western will be in Cali- fornia and few of the locals are likely to go, it is planned to send a big representation to the next best event. Sam Reynolds, Jack Hughes, John Redick, W. J. Foye, Ernest Sweet, W. N. Chambers, Karl Bock and others are expected to attend the Minnesota affair.

Distributors BEING A BASE BALL SLI(VE IS A GOOD JOB SOMETIMES Every now and then some ball player who has been paid a large sal- ary for playing six months out of the year, and is sold to another club be- cause some magnate will not increase the already unreasonable stipend springs that old gag about slavery in base ball. Which calls to mind some such case as that of Joe Tinker, who has made $105500 in fourteen years of major league playing, and has more’ than $80,000 of it invested in property at the present time. 5 Showing that being a “slave” in base ball is often far better than being a professional or business man.

It is understood that he reeently made an attractive offer to Cleveland for Willie Mitchell, after Cleveland writers declared Mitchell was going to be disposed of.
