Sporting News.
Omahn Drops the Game.
. The one thing the Omahas need moro than
another is the services of'an undertaker 1
As ball players , It seems , they have become
barren Idealities.
They have lost all their vim and vinegar ,
and bat and field and run bases like a lot of
basket makers.
What are they being fed on ?
Who's the hoodoo ?
Surely they are a sturdy looking sot of
young fellows , tough and Indurated with
practice and exorcise , and undoubtedly have
an abundance ot ability ,
Or Is It true that nil that glitters Is not gold ?
That must be the stuff ,
Yesterday afternoon's game satisfactorily
exemplified that
Hastings , yes Hastings , whom they par
alyzed and petrified three weeks aeo , literally
wiped tha chalk oil the home plato with
them.
They couldn't catch , nor they couldn't bat ,
and when one did get on n base providenti
ally , It took a derrick to move him.
And the Hastings , while they wore having
A wild and untothered midsummer picnic ,
are also an educated and scholar/ set of
muffers , according to yesterday's statistics.
They would make just as uood critics of
Domomchlno. Knphael and Titian as they
are ball players , and could babble color and
Shade , breadth , depth and si/.a as well as they
master the intricacies of the great national
game.
They play with almost the same Intrepid
ity of ignorance that the Omahas do only
yesterday wns their turn to win they just
eluinly couldn't lose.
If they made ono error the Omahas would
make four , and If the Omahns made ono run
they'd make three , while thu Omahas were
prcBtldlgitatlug with the ball.
, It was a horrible game , and the two or
three hundred people who saw It , sat sad and
silent , llko Prometheus chained to the bleak
i - > nd barren crau of untoward circumstance ,
tnd while conscious of the I Ires of gonlus
bnrnlun within the Oinahart , the vulture of
Inexorable fate kept gnawing away at their
i hearts.
Will they ever win again ?
There Is yet n faint hope.
They pluy again to-monow , nnd should
they take the ball It will be like a lilt of mel
ody suffusing our lives as the fields are over-
flooded with the skylarks' bewildering note.
. The eamo yesterday opened up promis
ingly. After Walsh and Mclaughlin had
retired. Krohmeyer reached his base on a
mull by Holding , and Dwyer brought him In
on a three-baguer to right 13ader dying at
first , tno Hastings came In.
' Knlsing wielded the willow and sent a ball
' ' curving like an arch of hope in the sky to
McLnughlln , nndMcLuughlin muffed It In the
highest style of the art , to use a new expres
sion. Kbrlght then sent n similar ily to
Barter nnd Bndor even eclipsed Mac's woik ,
and then , the next minute , when he let Cur-
4 tls' grounder get by him , the nlr for a few
minutes was thick enough to cut , for Keislnit
and bright both ambled homo. After this
4 three men wore quickly retired.
,4 , In the second , It was one , two. three for
y Omaha , but the Hastings added another
* l "brace of tallies to their side. Walsh ojwned
'I ' op the serenade , but wns extinguished at
'is first by a circus stop and throw oy Kreh-
' ( t mover. After this on Wehrlo's clonn hit ,
1 and another execrable muff by McLauchlln ,
M .tho ball going under the new Inside foncc ,
not only did Wehrlo score , but Ueislng , the
x * batter , too.
.1. In the third Walsh lilt safe to center , and
\ _ ' vas followed by McLaughlln with a two
> r baser to same garden , Walsh scoring. Hut
' that wns all they could do. Hastings , how-
K evor-wont them two better on one hit and
. two outs , three errors nnd n beautiful drive
for a homo run over right field fence by Fatty
IV Welsh.
In the succeeding inning Mcssltt made a
. .Jthreo sacker , nnd tallied on Bundle's loni : fly
to canter , starting homo after the ball had
Bottled In Curtis' hand * . Ocnlns also got
homo In this inning on errors. For the Has
tings Keynolds wns hit with tlio ball , and
on ( Jen lus' mull' of IVoples' ily "cored.
Neither side gcoiod In the llftli or sixth ,
B trail go to relate , but In the seventh Hcaloy
happened to hit a thrne-bagger , and was
helped home on errors. For the men from
the west Hughes bunted the ball , Lannmn
made n two and Welsh a three badger ,
Hughes nnd Latimcn scorlnir.
In the eighth by a two bagger bv Dwyer
and Bovernl chump plays by Kelsluir , Poo-
pies and Curtis , ho and Mess lit both suc-
. .Seeded In crossing the plato. The Hastings
' failed to score , ns did the Omahas In the
ninth , and thus the beautiful dream faded.

this afternoon.
The game between the Thespians this af
ternoon will be a genuine razeldo cl.
Dwyer surprised himself by playing an er
rorless gaino yesterday. Keep It np , old man.
The tiring of Ueagle , the umpire , was the
grandest fire of the season a regular confla
gration.
If the boys win to-uiorrow they can have
the earth , nicely wrapped up and tied with n
blue ribbon.
Fusselbach will arrive hero In the morning
and play third boso for the Omahas in the
afternoon.
Hastings wants to sell Omaha n number ot
players. Hastings' check would make good
ball covers.
a There Is war In the Western league In
moro ways than ono. It seems to bo Illy
mannged all round.
But thirty-two more games upon the homn
grounds nnd the agony for tlio season Is
over. Thanks , awfullyl
Despite the poor play of the Omahas a
great crowd will bo out this afternoon to
cheer them on the victory.
O'Leary and Swift were not black-listed
after all. 'Tls well. There were too many
In the same canoe with them.
Hastings wants to sell Hughes , Keeves ,
Lauman and Keynolds to Omaha. Who are
they ? By the way who struck Billy Paul
son ?
Krohmeyer did himself proud yesterday ,
fielding cleanly , sharply and scientifically.

HeiiBle hitsn't forgot how to umpire. There
was not the sign ot a kick yesterday on
cither side against his decisions , and nu un
seemly wrangling among the player * .
It was a magnanimous thing on the pnrt ot
the directors In not blacklisting the rebel
lious members of the team. The punish
ment admlnUterod , tinder all the circum
stances , is bevcra enough.
The management of the Omahas will do
everything within their j > ewer to strengthen
the team. Within the coming week there
will be no lesa than live iibvr races neen upon
the local diamond , but they come , of coiuso ,
on trial.

CHICAGO , July 9. fSpecial Telegram to
tbeUKE.J The demand for money was mod
erately nctlvo during the week just closed ,
but was inoro of n goncr.il character than dur
ing the previous two or three weeks. Con
siderably money was required to pay for
grain and provisions delivered on July con
tracts , but no difficulty was oxporlonccd In
obtaining all the money wanted , at reason
able rates oi Interest Bankers generally In
sisted , however , on wldo margins and un
doubted security. Some money was for
warded to the Interior , mainly to corn and
livestock districts and chiefly through com
mission houses. The Inquiry from the lum
ber Interest was fair and manufacturers wore
only small borrowers. Merchants In the
wholesale trade presented some paper for
discount and succeeded in obtaining all the
favors requested. The liberal shipments of
grain and provisions have had a tendency to
Increase the supply of loanable funds , es
pecially at the leading banking Institutions
and the money market Is gradually working
cosier though It U doubtful If Interest rates
will reach the low average at previous sum
mer. The banks no doubt will be In a more
comfortable position than for seine time past
as stocks of grain will be slowly reduced for
some time yet , and consequently less money
will bo needed In that branch of trade. Hates
of Interest quotable at o @ CK t > nr cent , for
call and 0 @ 8 per cent fur time loans , de
pending on the amount of money required
and the financial standing ot borrowers.
Soaio paper was offered on the street by
parties who are not In mucU favor with the
banks. Money at the eastern financial cen
ters has been In good request and rates of
Interest though very irregular , during the
early part of the week were decidedly higher ,
ranging In New York at 8 ( § 20 per cent. ,
but closing easier at C @ 7 per cent. Advices
from foreign money markets Indi
cated a quiet nnd easy feeling.
N w York uxchango was rather dull early
In the week with largo oiTeringsand only a
moderate demand , and sales were made be
tween banks at 25c discount per $1,000-
Latoi ofTcrlnga were lighter , while the de
mand was more actlvo and the market
showed more strength , with sales between
banks at 35C450c premium per $1,000 , closing
at 50c premium.
Foreicn exclmnfe was offered rather freely
early In the week , owing to Increased ship
ments of Hour and grain , and sales of ship
per's sixty days documentary bills on Lon
don were made at 84.80 (81.81. Toward the
close the feeling was steadier , and sales were
made at S4.81@tfl.81 , and the market closed
rather stcadv.
The New York stock market has exhibited
little lite during the past week nnd a nerv
ous and unsettled feeling prevailed. Wall
street operators traded moderately , but out
side parties were not inclined to trade to
any extent , the severe break In prices of two
weeks ago having had a tendency to curtail
outside trading , especially among small
operators. Trices have ruled Irregular
wlthn | a small ranee and have averaged
lower. Earnings of loading railroads still
show an Increase , but speculators do not
seem disposed to follow any upward turn in
prices. Foreign operators traded moderately
and at Irregular prices. Sales on the Now
York stock exchange for thr week aggre
gated 130,000 shares.
Trading has been only moderately actlvo
in produce circles during the week Just
closed. The opening doy of the month wit
nessed considerable activity , but since that
time trail Inn has been of holiday character.
The delhcries on July contracts , while large
In the nzgrogate , wore not as liberal as an
ticipated. The greater portion of property ,
however , was transterrcd , though not all di
rectly , through commission houses , nnd the
nre.it bulk of the grain nnd provisions no
doubt centered In strong hands. The mar
kets In a general way were dull and drag
ging , and Ihictiiatlous In prices were con-
tined within a narrow range. The produce
tr de Is generally recovering from the elfects
of the recent severe decline In the wheat
market , nnd with Increased receipts ot new
grain it Is anticipated that a general revival
of business will take place.
The crops sf small grain arc no doubt ex
cellent in quality , though the yield Is .some
what irregular in ditTcront sections. The
west has been visited by frequent heavy
rains , and the outlook for all crups Is moro
promising than reported two weeks ago. The
shipping inquiry foi grain has been quite
active and a considerable portion ot the
wheat and corn accepted on July contracts
has been forwarded by various routes to the
distributing centers. The receipts of grain
have been light at all the principal western
markets. Exports of grain and provisions
have oecn mndnratelv largo with prospects
that they will be well maintained during the
coming two or three months.
The arrivals of hvo stock continue moder
ately free at all western points. The pack
ing ot the west Is progtesslng favorably
thoiiL'h the aggregate returns are only slightly
in excess of those ot one year ago.

Bewildering Array of Batteries.
St. James Gazette : During his first few
hours in Gibraltar , an Englishman is
deeply Impressed with the strength and
importance of this the most ancient of
our Mcditorranean possessions. He walks
past long lines of bastions built of massive
masonrv ; ho sees guns in every direction
guns lining tl.\ bastions , guns frown
ing from tlio tar-famed galleries , guns
half concealed in the foliage of the
Alameda gardens. The whole peninsula
appears one vast nnd impregnable fort
ress. On every uvailablp epot is a battery
or a barrack , a magazine or a store , u
hospital or a prison.
There arc guards and sentries , pickets
and patrols , firing of morning nnd even
ing guns , locking np of gates , and reg
ulations for the'exclusion of aliens un
provided with ollicial passes ; in a word ,
all the pomp and circumstance , if not
of glorious war , nt any rate of vigilant
peace fully prepared to draw the sword
at any moment. The stranger of course ,
hurries oil * at once to see the galleries ,
and hero the first impression is most
gratifying to his national pride , lie
climbs the northwest nnd north face of
the rock bv a series of oyclnpr.an tunnels
pierced at intervals by cell-like embras
ures , each of which contains a gun and
a pile of ammunition ready for use ; while
branching oil'from the main gnll < > rii > s art )
other tunnels , which lead to powder
magazines nnd stores hewn out of tlio
very bowels of the mountain.
It is Impossible ) to bo struck by the
enormous amount of labor which has
bcon expended in constructing these vast
works , especially those executed during
the great siege (1779-83) ( ) the thiud at
tempt which was made in the 13th cen
tury to wrest from our hands the con
quest of Hooko , the key of the Mediter
ranean. The vluws from the embrasures
are most picturesque , and at every mo
ment recall sonui m-sh incident of that"
magnificent defense when the British
garrison of 0,000 mon successfully hold
their own ngninst 01,000 French and
Spanish troops , supported by a lleet of
47 ships in the line.
From the western tallorlos the Bay of
Algcsiras lies spread out before you , its
blue waters dotted with fclucca-riggud
fishing craft , but near our shore disfigured
by long lines of shapeless hulks on which
in stored the coal supply for our shipping.
You proudly think of that memorable
day in April , 1783 , when , from the Span
ish camp , the French bourbon princes ,
destined in a fnw short years to become
tint pensioners of England , witnessed the
tola' failure of the bombardment which
all Spain had Hocked to .see , and which it
had been confidently predicted would
crush our garrison ana win back thu
rook.
A long steep climb in mysterious semidarkness -
darkness brings you to a great cavern
full of guns ; and you look out to the
northward over the Snanish lines into
Spald , with tlio glorious panorama of
the purple sliarp-poakcd mountains of
Honda stretching far away to thu east
ward toward Malaga. This battery is
many hundred feet above the pea level ;
the clitl' out of which it is cut is almost
perpendicular. Far below you is the
North Front , with a line battalion at
drill , looking for all the world llko little
red ants.
All this Is classic groundr for it is the
scene of the grcai sortie of November ,
1781 , when 2,000 British troops sailed
forth against the besieging armies , at
tacked nnd destroyed their batteries ,
and spiked their most destructive guns.
In a still higher gnllory is thu embrasure
through which lluuk fire in directed along
tho. eastern face of the rook , designed to
prevent any repetition of thu daring en
terprise of 1701 , wlion , during thu first
sieg , which followed clo.iq upon our cap
ture ot thu fortress , the gallant Figueroa
succeeded , with MX ) Spaniards , In souling
this tremendous precipice.
