The Knuohnll Tmifrlo About
cnc < l Out President KrautlioITd
Conl'croniio with Otnulin
I.ovcra oftho Sport.
President Ifrauthoff of the Wei tern Base
ball association arrived In the cllv yesterday
morning to see what could bo done In the
way of straightening out the Omaha club
cmbrogllo.
Ho was mot nt the Pnxton by several
prominent bushiest men , nnd thu whole sit
uation was discussed at length. Thoio present -
ont were Messrs. Garnoau , Gallagher , Mor
risen , Hitchcock , Hnymond , Hall , Daughorty ,
Phllbln.McCord , Colpotzor , Paxton.O'Koofo ,
I Ion mi and MeShnno.
II was virtually decided to keep the club
hcronnd It Is now only necessary to complete
certain arrangements already under way.
There Is Httlo doubt , from the generous
manner In which the businessmen of the city
have thus far responded that It would bo
possible to ralso > 0,000 for a now manage
ment.
Last evening , as predicted , the baseball en
tanglement was about straightened out ,
despite the despicable machination of parlies
who should bo In bettor business , and the
Omaha baseball club will continue to do bus
iness at the old stand , playing In Lincoln
Thursday according to the regular schedule.
The complexion of the team , however , will
ho mnlorlallv changed , as Manager Shannon ,
Donnelly and McCauley Jumped to the Wash
ington American association loam last night ,
and Twitchell nnd Sutcliffo loft for their
homes In Columous. O. , and Wlieaton , III. ,
respectively. Sutcliffo says ho will return
after n two'dnys' absence , but that is doubt
ful , nno tlio probabilities nro that
Twltcholl has Jumped , too. All of the
contract breakers will bo blacklisted. But
mo're of that in n day or two.
The team has remaining of Its old men ,
Griflln , Halllgan , Walsh. Bnkor , Clarke ,
Eltoljorg and Traflloy and with these as a
nuchlcus a strong team will bo completed
yet today. The National leacuo and the
Western association both responded to President
"
dent ICrautliofl's call for players last nig"ht ,
the leagua telegraphing a list of eleven , in
cluding some of the best known men In the
country mid the Western association with
eight , from which Omaha is to select until
she has a full complement for her team.
Among the now players who will probably
bu seen hero are Jack Fields of tbo Pitts-
hurgs and "Lefty" Marr of the Cinciiinntis.
Notnlug , however , is certain ns to the play
ers ! but they will nil bo selected and report
for duty within thirty-six hours. Fuller par
ticulars will bo forthcoming in this iiftor-
nonn's paper.
Itlacl : IjiNt Promised.
WASIII.NOTO.V , July 14. [ Special Telegram
to Tun Br.K.J The National board , through
N. E. Young , chairman , decided today that
the attempted diabandmont of the Omaha
club wns illegal , and that the attempted ro-
loose of players should not bo rocogni/od. jt
was decided that these players were stil1
under contract and bound to play out the
scheduled Omaha comes. President Kraut-
hod was Instructed to take charge of the
players and to notify them that they wcro
still under contract , nnd that unless they re
ported according to the schedule , they stood
subject to bo rendered forever ineligible.
That Ticnellt Gntnc.
The Omabas and Eden Muaccs played a

They did not see nnythmir wrong with the

superstition on a race track that a losing
ticket Is a ' 'hoodoo. " n largo nuuihor of bet
ting mon throw avvuy their tlckols ai soon as
the race wiw over. On Saturday hundreds
of people throw uway their tickets , both
bookmakers' tickets and thoio purchased nt
the French pool boxes , as soon as Hey Del

After the ntinounco.-nent that nil bets worn

that had boon cast mido mid torn up , throw
the ring Into the wildest confusion , but few
indeed were the persons wno wcro lucky
enough to llud tno tickets which they had

the wool sticking out through the
crown of his battered Hat , found
u ticket calling for 3100 to $50

at the stand where It was issued , and
promptly received the WO , although the cash'

so much money btiforo. "Cash your tickets

business , began to pick up all the tickets ho
could llnd as soon as ho had heard there was
a clash over San Juan and Hey Del Hoy. So
industriously did ho apply his work whllotha
ring was deserted except by the book-makers
that his pockets s.oon resembled these of the
little bov who vUits the preen apple tree dur

hold no more. When the decision came , "all

where he could sort out the tickets and llnd
what bis harvest , would bo. He throw away
all the tickets on the first three races and re
tained only these on the Hnckensack handi

straightened out these that were crumpled.
