There was only one ring , but nineteen clowns , the umpire being the funniest of the outfit , with McVcy a close second and McMackln at his heels. Umpire Haskell Intends well and will make a first-class man In the position , but there are a few things ho must learn before this can bo consummated , chief among which Is the fact that the players themselves have Homo rights the umpire must respect. They do not always have to come a-runnln' nt his bock and call , and they are frequently In the right when ho thinks they are all wrong. In the third Innings yesterday Haskell not only fined Sago $10 , but ho put him out of L the game , and for no offense whatsoever , at that. He had Just as much right to fire Grover Cleveland from the white house as ho did to put Sago out of yesterday's contest. McMackln has a fashion of delivering an Illegal ball , that Is , ho cunningly manages to hldo It from the batter's vlcw'Just before sending It In. Sage called Haskell's atten tion to this several times and Haskell cau tioned Sammy once or twice. He still per- elstcd , however , and Sago reminded Haskell again. This seemed to rouse the latter's Ire and ho commanded Sage to shut up , and I on Sago's attempting to explain to him that he was violating no' base ball law in trying t to make his opponents "tote fair" Haskoll plastered a $5 line on to him. "I can stand the fine , " remarked Sage , "but I don't want to be beaten out of the game. " "That costs you five more , " exclaimed Has kell , "and more than that , you get out of the game ! " Sago rebelled for n time , but wisely seeing ho was working a large and enthusiastic crowd up to the fever pitch , rather than disappoint them , he withdrew , and Zeis took his place , ' while Lawrence went Into the field. field.The The crcwd. cheered the umpire , because It thought ho was right , but In this case the crowd did not understand the situation. An umpire -who cannot get along with Harry Sago has no business In a game of ball. He doesn't know how to bo unruly and Is a gentleman at every step of the road. f However , the umpire , while some of his decisions yesterday were of a decidedly Jaun- it [ llced hue , did not lose the game for Omaha. Gcorglana McVey claims that honor alone and single handed , and there Is no endeavor hero to take away any of his laurels. While I assert that the umpire did not lose the game for Omaha yesterday , he cer tainly did prevent her from tying the score In the ninth Inning by his faulty and ridicu lous decisions. In evidence of this fact first cast your eagle eye over the following tes timony : * . TROUBLE IN THE LAST INNING. At the opening of the last inning the score stood 20 to 1C In favor of the boiler makers. The Rourke family needed four -runs to tlo and five to win/ Paddy Boyle was the first man up. Sonelr gave him first on balls , and a passed ball pushed him to corner number two. McMackln's scratch Infield hit boosted him along ninety feet further , and Mac stole second. The bleachers and Stands were in a delirium of excitement when Seery toed the scratch , and when Zeis let another ball got by him and Paddy ran over the oyster and Sammy to third , they fairly howled with Joy. They kept It up when Seery trotted down to first on anqther 'quartet of wide ones. They saw a dead heat looming up in the rosy distance. The world rested on Jack3Iunyun's well rounded shoulders. Ho took his position. He handled his club nervously and great globules of perspiration cUased each other [ NUMBER 9.

The first ball the .attenuated Frenchman cut loose Jack missed' by a halt a mile , then the cr.owd groaned an Mister Haskell called another strike on him , It was do or die now , and Jack braced lilmaelf. His Htlck described a yellow circle In the air , then thcro was a craslw The crowd yelled , then groaned again. It Was a foul. Hero Is where the umpire did his worst. He called It a strike and the batter out , claiming that It w an attempted . bunt. Think of that and weep. An attempted bunt with n man on second and third , one man out and three runs needed to lie the score. Wouldn't that Jar you ? But It went , and then to cap the climax .McVey struck out himself , and It left Wood to turn the trick. He lined ono out safely and Sammy scored and Seery perched on third. There was ono more chance. It was Papa llourke's. . He smatdicd the sphere down to Judge Lynch , and the judge grabbed It up. fumbled It a second , then threw low to Cantilllon. He got the ball on the second bound , simul taneously with the exact second I'apa's No. ! > fell like n big griddle cake on the bag. It was awfully , awfully close , but Haskell gave Cantilllon the benefit of the doubt , nrtd 1'apa was dead , arid Omaha had lost the day. M'VBY'SVONtKHI''UL WORK. I will not wtary the gentle reader with the detailsot the landslide that fell upon the Uourkes In the eighth. Sunico It to say the Hock Islands hammered out eleven great big runs , with fat on their bellies an Inch thick , and won the game In a cantor. This too , mind you , was all accomplished after two men were out , McVey making n muff of a thrown ball by Hourko that actually smelt bad. " And ho wasn't satisfied yet , for ho made two moro of 'cm , all easy ones. In less time than It takes to tell It , and when the smoke rolled away Captain Sage could bo seen under the shadow of the grand stand packing the game away In a Jar to take back to Hock Island with him. Maybe ho didn't get revenge for the slight put upon him , Horatio ? Probably I ought to add a word about Sammy McMackln's pitching , and probably I hadn't , so I guess I won't. It was an off day , however , for Sammy , but when the dog days roll 'round ho'll be all right again , then lio'll show you what ho can. do , and that's no cocoanut , cither. Fully 3,000 people saw the dump , but they weren't a bit disappointed , for take nil the queer frills of the game Into consideration , the visitors somehow got Into the confidence of the crowd , and the crowd rooted for them Just as If they were at home , and the um pire was doing mean things to them. But cheer up. Wo can't win always , If wo did the game wouldn't last long , would It ? The Jax will bo hero this afternoon and you don't want to miss the first game. The score : OMAHA. AB. R. Hi.

CHICAGO , May G. The announcement that Dlrectum , the great California trotter , had fallen at exercise and so hurt his fore legs that he might not trot this year was erroneous. It seems the horse was turned loose from his stall at Pleasan- ton , Cal. , by some spiteful person last Mon day morning. He roamed over the ad jacent roads all night , but fortunately did not Injure himself on the barbed wire fences that abound In that locality. "It was a dastardly piece of work , " said Orrln Hitchcock. "It Is n case of spite , and I lmvc.no hesitation In saying It must have been done by a former groom of the horse. Everything points to him as the guilty party. He was sweaty , and I fear the black stallion may catch cold from being exposed all night. " ItrconlJ llroUrn at Herkelcy Ovnl. NEW YORK , May G.

TOO MANY MEDIAL COLLEGES EXIST 4 , Jfnbrn kn Already ' ' HtU Moro Thnn Her Slmrn What Constitute * UnprofoMlonnl Conduct Defined Homo Ociirrnl Olc nervations OiiicQrnliiR Doctors , LINCOLN , May C. ( Special to The Bee. : Tile recent discussion of the question 01 medical ethics In this state has drawn out Dr. Dcghtol , chairman of the board of sec retaries of the State Hoard of Health , ani In a paper read before the State Medical association the doctor from Friend devotes considerable time and many words to a de fense of the position taken by the secre taries of the board. In the course of his paper ho utcs the following argument : "It Is not my purpose to discuss the sub ject of public hygiene , but I may touch upon It further on In this paper as a measure In future legislation. Our present law gives the State Board of Health , of which I am a member , no sanitary power. The work of the board Is somewhat of 'a Judicial nature. relating not Immediately to public health measures , as is usually the work of such bodies In other states , but solely to the reg ulation of the practice of medicine. We have not yet attained the ago when the fittest survive. "Public economy has demonstrated the wisdom of medical legislation. To protect nn.dJ ° ster the Growth' of the sclcncoshas been the pollcy of all civilized nations. The relation of the physician to the patient Is a confidential one. Persons suffering from realer or Imaginary disease do not select medical advice with the same Judgment they would exercise In a commercial transaction. Whllo wo of Nebraska have an Interest In common with the medical profession everywhere , yet wo are most especially concerned In out- temporal salvation. To construct and main tain a law It must In n reasonable degree conform to the present wants and will of the people. State medicine , as In Germany , Is too monarchlal for the American citizen. Medical laws In the different states should and will differ In their provisions In con formity to the varied conditions of society. \ \ e have too many medical colleges. They are becoming too numerous In Nebraska. The high sounding name of 'professor' Is very alluring to the ordinary doctor , and ho hastens to erect a medium for ethical ad vertising. Ho who made two blades of grass to srow , etc. , was a benefactor , but I do not believe that will apply to medical col leges. "Wo. , como n ° w to that portion of the i law which gives the board the right to re fuse or revoke certificates for dishonorable or unprofessional conduct. This clause has been the qucstlo vexa of the board and the profession. The board has from the first exercised and mafnttttned Us prerogatives under this clause , jhut not with the success desired for want ofa.nj , , appropriation. There Is a distinction between the ethics which govern societies nhd 'the law which governs the people. To say that a physician shall not advertise may'jbc ' maintained by the so cieties. while the Hoard deals with the legal proposition that hd who1 does advertise must do so without dec a or alse statements. A society has rights' * of 'discrimination which the public has not. You might refuse a man his prcsencowin your house , and vet you could not drlvtjVhlni-out of town. "Among the thlfigs Which the board con siders unprofessional , a : Claiming to cure , for advanced compensation , "diseases which are considered Incurable' ; claiming to pos sess unusual skllW/tfxpbrlence / or facilities , and setting forth IMfsoidalms byhandbllls or circulars ornewgjD. ; < ) rs ; . < immoral Conduct or drunkenness whilejnttendlng a patient- committing or attempting to commit an abortion ; practicing under an assumed name- buying , , or fraudulently holding a degree' certificate or license ; unwarrantable violation of professional secrets , which are ordinarily held to be sacred and inviolable.
