A Letter From Umpire Hurst.
llm Hurst , in n letter to tha writer dated
Hnttersen , England , February 13 , nays that
he will return to America about March 10.
Ho has enjoyed his sojourn abroad and made
ouio money , but Is anxious to got back to
the land of tlio ftno and tlio homo of the
britvo. Ho adds that there Is on Incipient
oBltntlon over our national ganio in Eng
land this spring , but ho hardly looks for It
to bo resultant In a very general excitement
over the sport. The English pcoplo are bet
tor suited to their own low-going , old-fash
ioned cricket , tlnin they arc to the got-np
and hurrah of base bull. Hurst will bo an
Applicant on his return for a position on the
western association umpire staff and
Secretary Koctio should appoint him with
out hesitancy or delay. Ho is us good
n judge of the line points of too play ns any
man who ever filled the position In this cir
cuit , nnd with a clear , gtronir volco would bo
a veritable Kclley or a GalTney. Hurst says
ho is Inclined to bellovo that both the Na
tional ICUKUO nnd the Brotherhood will pull
through tlio coming season , thai neither will
innko any money , but both bo ready and
anxious for conciliation In the fall , if ono or
the other Isn't ready to quit by that time.
This , ho goes on to say , will not bo the case
with the National league , hence Tim vir
tually gives the Brotherhood a year's lease
on life , although ho doesn't say BO. Ho Inti
mates that it is none of his fight , and that ho
has no preference , but ho apprehends much
disaster to the game to como out Of the internecine -
necino strife of these two powerful factions.
Tim speaks in glowing terms of the Western
association , her prospects , her supporters ,
managers and men , and declares that so far
ns Importance and prominence goes , is
bound within n few years to step into at
least the second position In all affairs of the
creat game.
Glarko Intends To Fool 'Km.
Dad Clarke says bo's going to give the
pcoplo In tbo west a sample of what real
pitching Is this summer. His California
trip was a big feather in the Oswogoan'B
cap , and just now ho Is In exccntlonal fine
Jicalth nnd condition. Dad will bo in Omaha
within the next ten days. Ho says that ho
will hnvp a host of now men to fool this
season , 'and that bo is gome to do it to the
Queen's tttste. It is a fact that tliero nro
Jew bettor pitchers than Clnrlco. Hla curves
and drops nro first class , nnd both his fast
nd slow balls very effective. Ho is soldoin
out of rendition , has muscles line iron , and
with n catcher ho has confidence In ho can
ftold.tho . hardest slugging team In the coun
try level. Dud hus duo fault , n natural one ,
Jbowevor , nnd that is ho loses much of his
effectiveness if his support becomes lax , and
noldom rallies when ho once gives up. How
ever , ho is n great pitcher , greater than
over to-day , and la bound to do magnificent
work this season.
A Prospective stnto
The prospects nro exceedingly good for
KdbrusUu having a state league , or it maybe
bo that a tri-stnto league , including the cities
of Hasting ! * , Kearney , Grand Island , Lincoln
and Beatrice on the north , nnd St. Joe ,
Atchison , ToDokn , Loavenworth and Wich
ita on the south , will bo formed. William
Pope and ether enthusiasts of Fremont
favor n state league to include Fremont ,
Hastings , Grand Island , Kearney , Seward ,
Columbus , Lincoln and lieatricc , and a
meeting to take the preliminary stops toward
the formation of such an association will beheld
held in Fremont sorno time this week. O.
if , Gordon of Hustings , nnd , by tbo way ,
Vfns-Ona Of the backers of the famous
3 .r old Union Pacifies of this city , wants the tri
* " atato. Ho thinks such a lenguo would arouse
uioro enthusiasm among the patrons than an
ftxcluslvo Nebraska louruo. Ho Is In favor
of fixing n salary limit at $ f > 00 , with a $50
guarantee , to play eighty-four games be
tween Juno 1 and Sontember 10. Mr. Gor
don has mudo a partial csnvnss among base
ball admirers nnd has thus far raised (3,000
lor a team , nnd thinks by another week ho
will succeed in doubling that figure.
Tlio VotH AncnliiHt tlio KIclH.
Inasmuch as Omaha has enraged nearly
two full'plnying teams , why wouldn't It bo a
good idea to arrange a sorics of early ex
hibition games between them , arraying the
nld.mon against tne now. Let's see , there is
Andrews , Canavan , Walsh , Cleveland ,
Strauss , Willis , lllnes , Clarke , Knoll , Fan
ning , Bays , McConnell , Thnyor. Erquarhart ,
Moruu and Bird , sixteen men in all , and
with prospects of null another. This makes
only two substitutes and perhaps only ono
necessary to complete two full teams ,
nnd there is plenty of fine local amateur
talent to draw from. The Veterans pitted
ugainst the Kids would tnuko a great gumo ,
but it is patent that the former could run
away from the latter , still the Imttlj would
Imvo an unusual interest as the opposing
players nil belong to Omaha.VitliClarUo
nnd Thnyor In the points ; Andrews , Cana
van and Cleveland ou jttio buses , Walsh
short and Strauss , Knell and Willis In the
outfield , against Fanning nnd Erquarhart ,
battery , with Furrlsh , Baldwin mid Moran
on the bases , Bird short , and McConnell ,
1 1 in us ami Bays in the gardens , would bo
about the size of the two teams.
Tlio Western Association Cards.
The Omaha and Kansas City teams will bo
the star attractions In the Western associa
tion this season. Iho memory of the locaV
club's grand work of last season Is treasured
tip by the patrons of the game in all the
cities in the circuit , and everybody will want
ta see thorn this year. Of course n quartette
of the cracks of last year's team , in Crooks ,
Nichols , Coonoy and Naglo are gone , but In
their places will bo found such promising
now players as Hlnes , Erquorhurt. Fanning.
Bays , Bird , Moran nnd McConnell , who will
abundantly make up for the fracture in the
old ranks. No ono for a moment must labor
under tbo Impression that , Omaha has been
materially weakened , for sue has not , and
many of the fans even think she will put up
a stronger game than over. That , however ,
Is hardly possible. The cowboys will proven
n grout card simply from the fact that they
are fresh from the American association , and
nro today a team but little Inferior to the
best In tbo country In uny association. There
will bo n robust rivalry between Kansas City
and Omaha , as has always boon the case ,
and all collisions between these two teams
uro bound to attrnct a park full of people.
I'rcHldpnt McCnrmlclc's
Sny.
The Omaha club has more men on Us pay
roll at the present time than over bofo ro in its
history. There Is two full playing teams ,
lacking uvu , nnd Manager Leonard is still
un the lookout for at least ono more player ,
a second baseman. This man , however , such
a ono as the club officers demand , will bo
difficult to secure , as the last bopa ot secur
ing Collins , Koarn * or Molstor , the men
principally sought after , has cone gUmmor-
liiK , tlio trio having signed with other clubs.
How are you going to utilize all thoio
men I" was asked President MoCormick last
evening.
' Oh , wo'll find plenty for them to do , If
wo huvo to set thorn to eating Ed. Mullen's
soggy peanuts and atulo popcorn. But no
Joking , you know that several of the men
signed are nothing rnora than experiments ,
und they may or may not pan out. "
"But If they should all prove useful men
who will you releaset"
"In that case not n man , I'll keep tha
whole outfit nnd trust to luck in disposing ot
ono or two of thorn to an advantage at the
close of tha season. "
"And you nro still counting on big success
for the Western association thu season ! "
"That I am. Wo are way outside the
lighting orbit of Iho league and brotherhood ,
and all wo Imvo to do Is to follow our no o ,
glvo the pcopjq good ball , and our success Is
assured , And than you see all of these
vroftteru cities nro growing constantly , und a
ingle year makes a big difference in point of
population , to wo have that additional resource
source to draw on. "
"Ono mora question , Mr. President now ,
honestly , whit do you think of the Onto
City team t"
"It Is a strong one , very strong , I think , In
every position , barring possibly second
base , nnd oven Jimmy Cannvan may have u
surprise party in store for us there. 1 ll'to
our now manager no far as I am nbto to form
nn opinion from the tone of his corrospon
donco. Ho is evidently nn Industrious fel
low , and very shrewd nnd very brainy , nnd
ho promises to got nil the ball playing out o
my men there la in them. Yes , I ex pee
Leonard hero this weeK , probably today. "
A LKTIRK FIIUM. FK.VNMC SIJLfeU.
Ho Xnlki Unreservedly on the Bltun-
tlnn.
MEMtoSB , March 8 , 1890. To the Sporting
Editor of Tun BUD : In your Inat letter you
ask mo what I think of the baseball outlook
for the coining season. In reply , will say
that financially It docs not look very bright
for the Brotherhood and National League
clubs , ns the patronage will bo moro or less
divided. However , owlnc to tbo vast , amount
of advertising iho game has received the
past season , a part of which has not boon to
the advantage of the sport , it may increase
the attendance- very much , ns a great many
people have had base ball brought to their
notice by the action of the players in formIng -
Ing the Players' league who never gave it n
thought beforo. The American association
prospects nro not very bright. They claim to
have loss mileage and less expanses than in
past years , but they have some clttos who
nro members this year who will mora than
offset nny nd vantage to ho gained by reduced
mileage and expenses. It seems to mo tnnt
the Western association has the brightest
prospects for the future of any associa
tion in the country , a com
pact circuit , peed cities and gnoa
business men interested in each club , cannot
fall to make the Western association a great
success.
I hone nt the league meeting , March 4 ,
arrangements will bo made 10 tha league
will start in with eight clubs. The loueuo
must mnko n strong fight in New York city.
* I suppose the Brotherhood question has
been talked about In the west as well as tbo
cast. In my opinion the players have boon
a little hasty in making the break they have ;
they had grievances , but show mo nny class
of employes who have not , nnd if tboy had
waited as the league desired , these
grloveancos would have been righted. Mr.
Ward claims if thov had waited the league
would have given them the laugh , but possi
bly the players may at some future time
wish they had given them n chance. However -
ever , I wish them no harm , but it is my
honest opinion that the players after exper
ience with their now surroundings will como
to the conclusion that the league clubs in the
past nro not such a hard lot of masters us
they evidently now think.
Right heroin Boston the brotherhood club
has quite a following , but I ntn firmly con
vinced that the lenguo club has iho call
among the bettor class of people , nnd also
among the business men , and , I am sura wo
shall got a largo share of the patronage. We
have a bright , energetic lot of players , who
cannot fall to please and who will no doubt
put up a lively game , ono that will draw.
We are very strong behind the bat , our In
field is fully us strong , if not stronger , than
last season , our outfield is a strong Holding
and base running trio , and if they eau hit up
to the nverago , wo shall surely bo in it with
the audition of another experienced pitcher.
I am not ono who would try and oollttlo the
ability ot the old-timors , but it is the young
players who really please the baseball pub
lic. Duffy. Hey , Wllmot , Teboau , Hutchin-
non , Burns , Hamilton and others are sam
ples.
I see Omaha is to bo represented by an
other good team the. coming season , and the
Club and officers have my best wishes. I
think the Omaha management did n wise
thing in signing Clarke , provided -ho was
satisfied to remain. Ho is a great worker
nnd cool bended pitcher. The Boston direc
tors offered a good price for his release and
stand ready to renew it nt the present time.
I think Canavan , with n little practice , will
mnko a success at second.
When is Dave Uowo going to spring his
greatsonsation ?
I am pleased to -Andrews retained. Ho
is a great worker ami a gontlomnn.
No moro this time. Remember mo to all
friends. Very truly , F. G. SELBE.
Exhibition Schedule.
The Omaha olub has about completed Its
list of exhibition games. Up to data the
following series havo" boon arranged :
April - and 3 at homo with the Clevelands.
April 5 and U at St. Louis with the Browns.
April 7 and 8 at Qulnoy , 111. , with the
Quincys.
April U nnd 10 at homo with the Clovo-
lands.
April 12 ana 18 at homo with the Qornams
of Now York.
April 26 the championship season opens at
homo with the Sioux Citysi
Stronu 15Ulilorn for the Flntr.
"Thoro will bo but five teams in the West
ern association race this season , " said Center
Fielder Willis the other evening.
'
' Nnmo them. "
"Minneapolis , Milwaukee , Sioux City ,
Omaha and Kansas City.
"What's the matter with Denver ! "
"Woll , Koxvo will never bo in it , although
ho has scoured a fairly good team. He has
a hard-hitting out-fiold , but that's about all
that can bo said. They uro weak in the box
und weak on bases. Dave Is an efficient field
captain , but ho has too much raw material to
make much of a snowing in u season. How
ever , there are some queer things in base
ball , and teams that appear very weak be
fore the championship season opens often
provo very strong' No ono will forgot the
work of Cleveland's National league team
last season. "
Tim Spring Shooting ,
The prospects for good geese nnd duck
shooting this spring look very fnvorablo ,
from the fact that the past winter has been
very mild , nnd there is still lingering along
the Missouri and Platte rivers quite a num
ber of Canada gceao. They have boon hero
nil wlntor , and at no tlmo has the snow boon
heavy enough to cover their food , banco ,
when spring shooting commences there will
bo both Canada nnd Hutcbins geese , by the
thousands on all their favorite" feeding
grounds.
The Missouri river will probably open Into
this spring , but when the tco moves it will
no doubt go out rapidly , as warm weather Is
certain to como with a swoop. The market
in Omaha is paw quito wall supplied with
Canndas and some of the Imrdlor ducks nnd
when shooting commences In earnest the
gunners will have plenty ot sport. An
early spring will not necessarily drive the
gocso north very rauldly tor they will re
main their usual tlmo to feed. Shooting Is
fairly good now , but mostly Canudas , who
have been shot nl so much 'during the warm
winter weather that they fly shy of anything
that looks Illco n man , gun or blind. How-
over , sportsmen may expect good geese and
duck shooting by March 27 or April 1 , for
already the advance guard of the big spring
migratloa has reached this latitude and the
hosts will follow soon.
The ( 'crio anil IMioUs ,
Colonel E. Brlndto of Olafkd , Nob. , ono ot
the most successful duck and geese hunters
on the Platte rvor , undoubtedly killed the
largest Canada geese last weolr over killed
in Nebraska , .weighing 10 pounds , 8 ounces.
It is seldom a geese is killed that weighs
over 14 pounds. Colonel Urlndlo uas grown
4K inches In height tuid "wears a gold modal
since killing the big goose.
Geese are reported plentiful along the
Platte rlvor from North Bend to Silver
Creek. There has bcon several good bags
mado.
Any ono desiring Information or wishing
to secure tbo services of a good duck and
geese guldo will do well to correspond with

lion of killing moro duoks around the camp

Fnllnn Submits a Proposition.
Danny Noodham nnd Pntsoy Kerrigan
fought 100 rounds at the California Athletic
club ono night last weak , when the battle
was declared a draw. PaUoy Fallen , who Is
no'.v in Frisco , on behalf of Jimmy Lindsay ,
has submitted a proposition to tbo Golden
Gata club to match the Omaha boy against
cither man for a reasonable purse. The
Noodhnin-Kcrrliian fight was n walk-around
from tbo start , nnd there were not moro
than half a dozen rounds in which the men
attempted to force mutters. Nccdhnm was
knocked down throe times in the fifty-fifth
round nnd four times in the seventieth , but
ha nroso and fought desperately during both
rounds. After the seventieth there was lit
tle or no attempt nt any real fighting , us both
the men were greatly exhausted. During the
last ton rounds not n blow was struck. Fancy
Jimmy Lindsay standing for ten rounds In n
ring with a man before him without striking
a bio iv.
Ho Ontchcs On In Frisco.
In speaking of the arrival of Patsoy Fallen
lon in Sun Francisco the Dally Report of
tha 27th ult. says : Faltou was met at the
ferry landing by n number of well-known
sporting men. ami escorted to bis hotel.
Fallen has an Intelligent face nnd is about
thirty-five years of ago. Ho Is an Irishman
by birth , and although never engaged m the
pugilistic profession , has always tnkon a
great interest in the sport. Ho spends most
of his time In "looking up" promising young
aspirants for flstlo fame and bringing thorn
before the public. During his sporting
career Fallen has brought out several fight
ers who at present are looked upon as "top-
uotchors , " and ho is still on tha lookout for
tulont.
Fallen intended bringing Jimmy Lindsay
with him to this city , but after consldoration
ho thought it bettor to leave him in Omaha
and sand for htm , if necessary. Lindsay , us
stated In thaHoport a few days agots a very
clover pugilist in the 140-pound class , who la
willing to flpht anything of his weight In
the ring. Ho is a prologo ot Fallon's ana
made bis first appearance undar his auspices.
Ho has fought twelve moa und has been iho
victor every timo.
Fallen , in behalf of Lindsay , will chal
lenge the winner of the Noedhain-Kerrignn
fight at the California olub for a roasonsblo
uurso in any of the clubs.
A JjRttor From I'ntscy.
SAN FKXNCISCO , March 0To the Sport
ing Editor of Tun BEE : I sent you several
papers containing accounts of my arrival
hero. I was received most courteously as
you will have observed , and by grace of the
Press club was accorded quito a welcome.
The Frisco Press club rooms are certainly
the most elegant in the country. I have vis
ited all the various snorting clubs nnd they
are immense , the best equipped affairs of
this kind in the world. 1 was present at
the Necdham-Kcrrigan fight , and am
moro convinced than over thut Jimmy Lind
say is the master of either of them. The
prospects of another meeting between Jack
Dcmpsey and George La Blanch are very
poor. Demnsey has an immense following
bore. The McAullffe-Carroll light which
comes off the latter partof this month bot'oro
the California club is now tha one tbcino of
conversation. I pin my faith to Mac. I ex
pect to effect a match for Lindsay shortly.
The Golden Gate club will probably send for
him within a month. President Fulda of
the California club received your letter nnd
thinks favorably of your proposition. His
secretary writes you today. Now Sandy ,
please do not forget to send mo SUNDAY'S
BEE occasionally , and it I can bo ot any service -
vice to you hero , command me.
