exception to the rule. I'oorman , Foe , Powell

the newly organlzsd club at Mllwaukoo will

O'Nell , the Manchester pitcher , who cost the
managcrae it a pretty penny : 1'op bmlUi.ttio
old Boston second baseman ; Jack Lolomau
ol the Plttsburgs , and possibly Billy Kuohno ,
the German count , who lust season was
ranked with the best third basemen of the
( ountry. ICuohno 1ms just been lot out oy
Columbus to make room for.limmj Donnelly ,
anil It is safe to saj the Buckeyes will regret
thochnnuo. Whllo Donnelly is all rltfht in
Holding his position , Kui'hno Is woith a half

men , Manager Lcadloy Is ale nugotiiittnt !
with Oori0 ! Edward Andiewi of Mike
Kellv'n Cincinnntis and Blllv Alvord nnd
Mike Slattcry of the \VashiiiKtous , with
uro'.pccts of fastening onto ono or

patrons can icst assined that they nro
to have no bum Job lot palmed oft on them
for the balance of the season , notwithstand

as line a team of bnll playeis as weio over
congregated together in such a short time.
bo far , of course , the newly organi/od team

duty of the local admirers of the sport Just
now is to lend every assistance within their

Interesting thcmbilvcs In the matter of secur

this fall. There nro sovoial other cities , no
tably Boston and Buffalo , making n lively
bid for the runners' assembly , but ns the
Gate cit ) has the call of the knights of the
cinder path themselves , It is more than prob-
nblo that it will meet hero. If it does , Sun
day , October 8 , is the day likely to bo llxcil
upon mid the fair grounds the place of the
meeting. This meeting , which is held every
two years , is for thn championship of Amer
ica , and is run over a spirit level track nt 75 ,
100 nnd 1-0 vni ds , the championship and prizes
to bo decided bv points. To secure the
meeting for this city it is necessary to cuar-
nntcoat least 5 100 in cnsh or pri/es , and defray -
fray the expenses of advertising , which can
bo done uitliout question. It will bo a now
species of spoil for Omaha and can bo
brought to a very successful Issue , If piop-
crlv bundled , tncro is little doubt. Botli the
starter nnd pistol llrer must bo brought from

It will bo observed by the additions that

ever , to expect much from the reorganl/od
Lambs for the balancu of the season , the
crunks should bo satlsttod , even
thankful , that they have gotten n toani

the season to romo. Under the circum

thickest of the tight In nil the divers raeos
for pennants , nnd thnt good ball players are
Bcar oiiH lion's teeth , Manager Lcadloy has
done well In getting together the pluvors ho

Now they all say that the order to the ex-
Omaha jilayors was dimply "u bluff. " II
thnt ls so the national board win In , pretty
bid ( .traits. Such n hoard of control as It
was supposed to bo , should occupy n more
dlgnlllcd piano. It has changed front In otic
year ns tinny times ns n political party gcii'
orally docs on public policy in ten. The
National board 1 1 COL' a purging , and with tlic
coming of peace it should bo relegated to the
background. That order to the Omaha uoya
tame nt a tltno when the pcuco question was
under discussion. It was llko waving a red
rag before a collodion of bulls. The Wash/
Inu'tou club's attorney saw a
chance to got a little dory
nnd earn another fee out of It. and ho
has llred a letter ut your Undo Nick Young
as long as n chapter on divorce In Chicago.
These paragraphs are worth reproducing ;
'It Is a principle of law that an oftlcer of an
corporation or association , voluttury or otu-
irwlso , may become liable personally for the
nets of the corporation or association , wheth

President ICrautnoff of the Western asso
ciation Is acting as mediator between the
National le.iguo nnd American association ,
with n good prospect of an early settlement
of their ilinicuttles. That there are a num
ber of changes down on the card for the
American there scorns but little doubt ,
Krnuthoff ndvlsos the dropping of both Co
lumbus nnd Louisville , which means that
Milwaukee and some other Western circuit
city , poulbly Minneapolis , In s.tieh nn event
would step In In their placet. Under any elr-
cumstaucoa Milwaukee lias seen her last
soiison In the Western. The American Is
already making overtures to her , nnd as It
has been her ambition for three years pnst to
get Into ono of the older associationsIt Is two
to ono that she will not allow the present
opportunity to go bj unimproved. Of course
the- Western association Is in for n general
remodeling this coming winter , but Just what
the changes nro to bo , It would bo foolish to
oven predict at this time. However , there Is
hut precious little prooability that all the
cities now making up the circuit will bo In it
another season. With a now national agree
ment there U to be n general bustle all round ,
the outcome of which , It Is honed , will bo to
put baseball on n llrmor and more duVablo
basis than over before. Look out for soiisu-
tlons from tills on ; thov will boot ircquent
and startling occurrence.
AVI 11 lie Swear to It.
All talk of McCormlck's having released
the Omaha players July 1 instead of July 12
Is simply gufT. If President ICrauthoff is at
work Investigating this fraud let him put
Dick MrCormlck on the .stand. Will ho swear
that ho wrote those releases on July 11 Not
n bit of It , and tt will bo a matter easily
proven. Mr. Krauthoff Is unnuestlonnbly
rlgnt when ho declared that these releases
were fraudulent thnt they wcro dated back
to boat the other Western associa
tion clubs out of their ten dnys period
of acceptance of service guaranteed them
by their constitution which was expressly
conceded in the players' contracts. And
more , not one single ono of these players will
on his oath say that ho oven received notifi
cation of his release ns cirlv as Julv 1.
There Is little to come out of all this talk ,
however , but the general public , ns well ns
that of tins city , is entitled to know the full
p.ittlcnlnrs of the dirty and dastardly trick
turned and just who turned It , therefore
these few lines.
All U ill Soon lie lively.
The National board has about concluded
that the best way out of a bad muss Is the
easiest , and the Om.iha muddle will
hencforth bo lot severely alono. Still there
Is n day of retribution , and the whirligig of
time will assuredly square matters with a
whole lot ot people thnt could bo named , but
will not bo , Just now , when the white-pin
ioned dove of pence is hovering over the base
bull oligarch ) ' . . The American association ,
which broke away jrom the National agree
ment on account of arbitrary treatment re
ceived ut the hands of the board of control.
But the American has had u quantum sufllcit
of war. The odds wcro too great and they
reali/ed that all is war and disaster in a
continuance of hostnlitics , and are paving the
way for an honorable compromise. Every
thing is in n crude state Just yet , but keep
your eyes nnd cars open , the sounds uud
scones of peace are fast approaching.
1 ho Imnt oftho Season.
Owing to the wrecking of Omaha's model
ball team , nud the consequent excitement
that followed for several dnys , the regular

everybody will want to know on just what

Annual Hlanijlilor ol' tlio Clilckn.
The prairlo chicken crop In this state this
Acason Is said to bo larger than for uny pre
vious year within the last ton. But this la
the same fairy tale told with each rocurrli'g
summer. Notwithstanding the unprecedented
rainfall , however , the birds have enjoyed n
most fruitful season of nldlllcation , uud all
the best known grounds In the north and
west are said to bo nllvo with the young
broods , many of which nro moro than half
grown and well able to tuko care of them
selves ii-wlng. It Is n sad commentary , how
ever , on the cfllcuov of Nebraska laws that
despite the fact that the open season docs not
commence for over a mouth yet ,
that tlio young birds nro being slaugh-
teicd dally in nil directions , nnd
by the time the legitimate- season does roll
round thov will have been pretty well ex
terminated. Old gunnersfond of a day In the
draws nnd stubble nud on the hllUldo over

gence lu this unsportsmanlike pursuit , thnt
If they wait for t bo shooting season to open ,
that the market nnd pot hunters will have
done tholr work mid the most they can hope
for will bo n long nnd arduous tramp with nn
occasional crack nt snmo hardy old cock ,
whoso wai Incss alone has spared Mini from n
trip in n refrigerator car. But few gunners
deny themselves a day among the chickens
before tlio law Is up , nnd Und their excuse in
the Inxlly nnd Inndequacv of our game laws.
When II Is too Into , ns has been
the case In nil tlio older eastern stntcs ,
the legislature will awaken to the
necessities of the case , nnd then after the
birds are nil but extinct , they will lay down
n stringent cede of rules for their protection
and preservation. In the words of the old
saying , the stable will bo locked and barred
after the horse has been stolen.

In speaking of the vast amount of hustling
nnd the real hard work necessary to make
trotting sessions In the western cities a sue-
ccsss , a well known local horseman said to n
little knot of congenial spirits at the Mer
chant's hotel lust evening :
"Trotting will never become popular again
In Omnha or clsowhcro until the evcnu are
shortened. The bangtails are having tholr
dav , and the trotter Is u secondary considera
tion. Under the old trotting rules a race
was frequently almost interminable , and at a
recent session In central Ohio there wcro no
less than three unfinished events m OHO
afternoon , ono of these was stretched into
eleven heats another nlno and the third into
eight. At sonio courses now , horses that do
not take the llrst or second boat , go to the
stablo. It makes exciting races and all there
is in n horse will bo brought out from the
moment the word "go" is given. I have
even thought a series of milo dashes would
bo a great innovotiou. The people llko quick
action nnd it is the people racing men aio
catering to. And another thing jou can
depend on nnd thnt is the September session
nt Union park will bo the most satisfactory
over hold hero on account of the additional
running events' "
A Ilifi Unco lor October.
The Coliseum will be the theater of a big
professional six-day bicycle race about the
third week in October. Tom Eck , the griz
zled veteran of the wheel , will bo at the
head of the management on the track. Ho is
now In New York perfecting arrangements
for the great International blcyclo race , which
comes oil at Madison Snu.iro Garden tbo
present month. The fastest mou of this
country and Europe have already entered ,
and a quartette of cracks uro on route fiom
Australia to take a hand in the affair. Most
of these men will also enter for the big race
In this city , and the prospects are for ono of
the greatest wheel chases over run in Amer
ica.
The Iilly Talks to Jack.
Lily Williams , the champion female bykcr

cent Issue of the Minneapolis Tribune , in
reply to a challenge from Jack Prince in be

Jack as a professional bluller mid notifies him
very properly that nil legitimate challenges

Williams will do no racing until fall , but will
then bo 111 readiness to meet Jack Prince or
nny of his riders 5u any kind of 11 race , either
