Omaha Seonrin Dad Olnrko
President McCormick and Secretary
Brandt of the OmaLa base ball cIud were
closctod with Dad Clarke for three hours
last night , and when tbo illustrious trium
\ irate separated McCormick hud the great
tvv trier's autograph to a contract giving his
services to Omiba noxtynar
It required a vast deal ot persuasion nnd a
very decided addition in salary to in luco
Clarke to como to time , but the prcsidont s
blundislimonts and the clubs liberality was
moro than the Oswego boy could stand and
bis fist wus placed to the paper that binds
him to tbo local club for uno'her six months
at least
All base ball patrons will bo delighted
over this news , for the securing of Clarke is
an accomplishment that many thought im
possible considering the brent demand for
players just now
And then too Clarke s Into work In Call
fornia slumps him as ono of the most effective
tivo pitchers In the profession today , and the
wav ho picked up in his batting was a big
surprlso even to himself Clarke coul 1
have remained In California at a splendid
salary and boon tlio reigning lion but ho
did not think the climate was just what it
ought to bo for his physical welfare
faro , so ho determined to return
east And another fact is that '
the brotherhood has bceu working uion
Clarke nnd Brooklyn offered him f j 500 to
pitch there next season with 61 000 Ir ad
vance His food judgment , however , do
tarred him uud ho came to Omaha purposely
to sco what could bo dona in the way ot
getting his roioaso lustoad of securing this
