Omaha signalized the return homo yester day afternoon by a dull nnd lifeless gamo. Of course she ' .vas defeated. Hart , whom Manager Lcadloy fished out of the Duluth xvrcck , bcgnn the twirling for the Lnmbs. Ho wns both vulnerable nud wild , and at the end ot tbo fifth Inning , by which tlmo the Cowboys tind piled up nine runs , ho retired In fnvor of McNnbb Peter McNnbb , originally from Toxns , but moro recently from Denver. Peter wns u slight Improvement ever his prcdcccs or , ns the Kansas Cltys were only nblo to touch him for three singles nnd two rufis , yet ho enmo within one of presenting them with ns mnny bases on balls us Hart had. had.In In the third Inning , owing to nn Injury sus- tnlnod In Sioux City , Pop Smith gave wny to Frank Day , who did all tboro wns for him to do In n creditable way. The notnblo playing on tbo Omaha Sldo wns dona by McOlonc , who put up n magnificent nrtlcln of ball from stnrt to finish , nnd deported - ported himself generally like n man who wns out to win. Following McOlonc , in point of merit , came Dungan , McClollnii und Fields. For the Cow boys every man was on his mettle with the exception cf Jack Pickott , who was quite erratic in his lacing 'em across , but , ns ho said , It always requires Just so mnny errors to add zest to the gamu. Old Hick Carpenter was as frisky ns a colt , und Pears pitched n tn as tori } gamo. Of con rso Gaff noy's utnptilng was clean and satisfactory. Tbo cranks of Omaha , however , cnn mnko up their minds thnt they have scon about the last professional ball of the season on thu homo grounds. These four games with Kan sas City will in nil probability end tbo ex citement. After that , If tbo association con tinues , It will bo by reason of some miracle yet undreamed of. The Cowboys play hero ngaln this afternoon nnd tomorrow and Sun day , then comes thu fireworks. The score : OMAHA. McNubb , p Total 3 4 3 0 27 10 3 KAN8AH CITV.

He took no llttlo Dart In tl.o two overthrows of St. Louis , scoring two of thu llvo runs on Saturday and making three of tin- nine hits off JMeGlll yesterday.
