THE OMAHA DAILY BEE , SUNDAY , NOVEMBER 15 , 1801-TWENTY TAUES. SPORTS MELANCHOLY DAYS , Gab , Gabb'o and Qotslp or the Player and the Orcnk. PLAIN TALK BY BLUFFS' ' RIFLEMEN , ( The Uykors Column 1 lie Kcliult/.c I'otvdur Foot ISalllRts 'I lie Oun , tlio UtovcN ntul Ilrccsty MIs- ocllntiy. U Li L Y realizing thai their only hope for base ball next season lies In tha ro. organization of the Western association Kansas City and Minneapolis nro doing a tall amount of skirmishing these days. So far , , however - over , their efforts have been discon nected mid thole suggestions weak and Impracticable. A hun dred and ono methods of procedure have boon proposed , but as yet HOMO lilt upon that gives promlsa of material fruition , nor will there bo until all tlin cities Interested get together and seriously and In a business like way dis cuss and canvass the subject thoroughly. Thl * Is the object of thu convention that Is to bo culled for at Minneapolis ut an early dnto , nnd judging from the universal doslrofora further indulgence In the grand sport mani fest in all thocltlos of thoclrcuit , such u meet ing would bo the moans of Incubating n Bchomo that could bo brought to a successful Issue. The president of the association , L. C. ICrauthoff resides In Kansas City , and as Kansas City Is indubitably the best base ball city in Itio west , it will bo looked up to to Ulco the Initiative in the proposed roorgau izatlon , and not Minneapolis , whoso parsi monious action last season mudo the downfall of the Western association Inevitable. Ot course in this accusation , thcro is no attempt made to shield Omaha for the contemptible part she played , for It was Omaha that made the Ilrst break and gave the signal , through ucnurlousncss , cownrdico and treachery , for the grand amasb up. Hut thu base ball patrons will take stock In any move started in the Missouri capital , with the belief and hope that any enterprise put on foot by President ICuiutliofT and his near allies will boar good fruit. Kinnnnting Irom Kansas City it will start with tl.o stamp of gcnuino- ness upon it and thcro will i.o hcsitanov about lulling in lino. The L. C. Krnutlioll's nro ii scarce quantity in western base ball affairs , but there is a fullness of the liaion U nulls and Dave Howes , and therein is the clanger. President KrautholT has announced that ho would cull a meeting of tint remnants of the Western association during the latter days of this month , and it has been nut down lor the 'J. > th and ut Minneapolis , but up to the nroscnt duto no oflleial call has been mudo. The president says also that uu has no fours whatever but what the association will bo reorgam/od , but that It is yet n little early to oven guess nt the complexion of the circuit , nltnough It was safe to put down his own city , Omaha , Minneapolis and St. Paul. Uf course a neworguni/attoncan only bo effected on a most conservative basis , with none of the frills ossayo : ! last , season. Cities that might struggle through the season with u $ lfi,000 sularv could not be cajoled or hood winked Into nn attempt to carry ono of twice tlicso dimensions. IN It a llnulc Down ? The following communication appeared In the evening Bin : of October 30 , but is pub lished ugain by request of a number of the Council BlntTs Ktllo club who were unable to got hold of that issue. ( Sport. Ed. ) To the Sporting Editor of THE DDE : Under the above caption an article appeared In SIN- UAI'H Bir. Lot the render Judge from the following facts whether It Is a ' 'bacK-down" or not. In Tin : BBIJ of October G the Omaha Illllo club challenged the Council Bluffs Killo club to a contest for an oyster suopor , and stipu lated that the teams were to consist of six men each , the match to bo snot on the Cross grounds , and that there wus to bo no restric tion In the weight of gun or trigger pull. The ubovo challenge is "multum in porvo" nnd is n gem of diplomacy. It modestly llxos the number in tho'earns , the locution of the grounds nnd makes nil the other rules and conditions that would materially ulTcct the score -advantages which should give them the victory , oven though on oven terms they might bo many points inferior. The natural Inference was tlmt they considered us their superiors ni n club and wuntod advantages to even up. But while wo expressed no opinion us they claim wo answered that wo were willing to admit our superiority , etc. , al though they do not seem to Imvo got "on to" our meaning exactly. If , according to the code , the challenging party has the right to cheese the weapons , the grounds and make the rules and condi tions , we most assuredly back down ; most anybody would. Wo would bo willing to go Into n contest with n team of elx , although wo would prefer n loam of ton. Wo would also concede the ( . 'rounds , notwithstanding It is the windiest place possible , and our man Imvo had no practice In the wind our range being natur ally protected. That ought to bo enough to oven up nnd there wo draw the lino. Their pioposltton to mnko thu match with two men Instead of six shows some moro good dlplomnoy. Mr. Potty holds the cham pionship of Nahrasicn and Mr. Fuller thinks ho can beat him. Ho has covered himself all over with medals and ulory In many u hotly contested mutch , and both should bo classed ns firofesslonnl rillemen , If thro aronnysuch , while the Council Bluffs club Is mudo up en tirely of amateurs , largely business men , nnd do not claim any "phenoms , " nnd to admit the gentlemen aforesaid even In n team of six is nn unfair advantage , but wo do not wish to bo toe particular , therefore , The Council Bluffs Ulllo club hereby chal lenges the Omaha Killo club to a friendly contest for nn oyster supper , with a team of six , to be niado up from thu present members of each club , said contest to lake place nt u time mutually agreeable , on the Cross grouuas , under the regulations of the Na tional Hlllo association of America. Tun COUNCIL Hi.unis Km.E CI.VH. By order of the committee. Soanlon Alter Slmnnon. Director Mlko Scnnlon of the Washington American association clubl says the following in reply to Shannon's charge that ho was mistreated at the capital : "Shannon's contract , with the club was that ho was to play short stop , captain and maiuigo the , team , for which ho was to receive us salary flW ) per month ; ho was to bring with him Sutcllffo , Eltoljorg , CirltUn nnu Ilulllgan , the Ilrst to receive M.'HJ nnd the others SWO per raontli. The mlvunco money nsuod for by Shannon was hunt , and we were notltled Unit thu men wore on their way. Summon , however , showed his Ilrst lack of management in abandoning his men nnd letting ting thorn como bore by themselves , the re- sult.of which wus the loss of Ilalllguu and an increuao of the club's expenses of over ? 500 in consequence of tils stupid work. A couple of years .since , through some cause. Shannon contracted nn ailment for which ho hud to undergo n surgical operation , and from this nllmunt ho was compelled to retire from tha ball Hold , The Injury wu not received In tuo National club's service , the sporting papers' correspondents to the contrary , not withstanding. Tlmt Shannon was the dead est failure of the season , I don't believe any man who Unous anything about base bail will deny , and yet the club directory nro \ nbubed because they did not contract with Jalm for next season. Shannon hud absolute mid full control of the team ; ho wus not interfered with by the directors of the club in nny way. and his attempt to shift responsi bility now Is contemptible , and were it not for the fact that ho has rushed Into print in bis obuso ef tha club mniiaoinont I should allow bygones to pass , ite wus Ulndly treat ed hero , nnd was only far a fo > v weeks able to comply with hi contract of playing ball. I Ho was paid moro money than the club owed him , out of pure sympathy , and yet , because of hi * Inability to do what ho had agreed too -o , wo uro to be abuiod and misrepresented. Shannon has not been badly treated by tbit club ; the shoo Is on the other foot. " Crook * , Knell nnit Twltuholl. The association has nt last made up iU mind to kick Columbus cut Into tha cold , ami there Is a general scramble for the Buckeye players , no less than six managers , repre senting both of the big tcnguo % bolng nftei Omaha's old second baseman , Jack Crooki , and fully ns many moro after Phil Knell also nn old Onto City chnttlo.

A correspondent writes for somoinforma' tlon regarding the loading of shells wltt Schultro powder , which Is so rapidly comlnt m favor with sportsmen , both for the traj : nnd Hold. Frank Parmolco , who Is now using the Schultzo exclusively , says the powder Is stronger thnti the ordinary blach article , and free from both recoil and smoke , for loading ho says only paper shells should be used , and the powder should be measured the same as black powdor. The following Is his schedule for quantity , and method ol loading : For 12 bores three to three nnd one-fourth drams by measure , and for K bores three and ore-fourth to four drums will bo found best for all around loads , Mod erate charges of shot nlso work best , Pul enough tight lilting wads flrmlv , but wllhoul ramming , over the powder , so that , with the desired charge of shot , thcro remains about one-fourth of an inch of shell lo crimp.
