DES MOINES1 FIRST DEFEAT. Oinnlin Hunches Her JlitH nnd Conies Off Victorious in llic Most E - citing Game of the Sea son So Far. Western Association Standing. The close of the second week's playing of iho Western association places Omaha ut the head of the list. The difference between the homo team nnd DCS Moines is very small , the brilliantly won game of yesterday reduc ing the Prohibitionists average from 1,000 to .ST > 7 , nnd increasing the homo team's figures from .S.YT to ,877. Much depends on the re sult of the games to-day and Tuesday. Should Omaha win the series DCS Monies will have to play ball right along to got at the top again. Giving Omaha ono of the two games to bo played , ho will still hold the lead. But the two teams uro BO evenly matched that it is hard to toll which will hold the edge at the end of the lirst month's play. Kansas City ranks third with the others in the order us given below : The following table shows the standing of thu Western association teams up to and in cluding yesterday's games : Playeu Won Lost Pr Ct Omaha S 7 1 ,877 Des Moines. 7 I ) 1 .S.YT KunsasCity 10 0 4 .GOD St. Louis 1(1 ( 4 " fl .400 Milwaukee ( i 2 4 ,3.13 St. Paul 7 2 5 .25 Chicago. .

What a lovely lambusting Omulm cuvo the Kroat Prohibitionists on the local ground yes terday afternoon. And In the presence of four thousand people ple , too. Every scat on the bleaching boards , both the north and west wings , in the grand stand and the lady's annex , wus occupied , wliilu the extreme fields wcro a sea of buggies and carriages. It was n grand sight , a grand crowd , and Oh , my , what enthusiasm I You eauldii't ' hear yourself think , and whun , after a long , hard , uphill struggle , Omaha overtook and tied the lambs from Iowa , the upronr was deafening , and whim they passed them on Annis1 masterly smash for two bags , it was pandemonium indeed. Captain Quinn hud all of Dos Moincs strength out , with Smith in the box and Traflloy behind the bat. During iho preliminary practice they pranced and cavorted und gamboled about llko real giddy things. Monkey Holliduy and Stummy Smith werocspccially hilurioim. They thought they had a snap , but , oh , my countrymen , what u fall ! They canio down with a thud. Will it drive them to drink ! It is to bo hoped not. Even the first Inning was unusually Inter esting , a sort of uvaiit courier of thu great excitement that was to follow , Bums hit a swift one to AJvord , and was thrown out ut lirst. Plyim retired on a loner high lly to Van Dyke. Then Anuis duplicatrd the JJurns hit , but the big third baseman juggled the ball , and AnnU wus safe. Ho died , how ever , attempting to Heal scrond. Thu vuit crowd rcmumcd as imiet as a mouse , For the prohibitioniats Steams went out from Donm to O'Cpmull. Then there was a cheer , but this turned ti groan when Qumn hit u sufo 0110 tu right btolo second by nbalrt.nd ran do-.xr. t thin tm u pass ball.

Mail orders filled same day as received. Moincs delegation in the grand stand. Hut they quickly subsided , for the oldest man in the world , Orator Shale- , hit a long lly to the nimble Annis , and the puffed up Ilolliday fanned out like an amateur. It was Omaha's turn to howl. She did it. The homo team didn't get a ball outside the diamond In the second , O'Connell , Miller and Shannon retiring in quick succession. The nbsteniinous continpcnt from across the liver cpuldn't do any better. Macullar ilcw out to Hums , Alvord struck out and Van Dyke turacd up his toes from Lovett to O'Connell. .Again in the third it was one , two , three for the Omahas ; Doran tfoing out from Ma- cullar to Stearns , and Lovett and Wilson wildly slushing away at the atmosphere three times each. Then Trallloy , once a member of the fumed U. P.'s , also agitated the air once , twice , thrice , and sat down ; Smith was out on Do- ran's throw to first , but Stearns , what did ho do ? why , ho walked riijht , up the plate , swunt ? his bat once or twice , then smashed one of Mr. Lovott's cannon-shot balls for n clean home run clean because the sphere tumbled amoiiK the rarriaces crowded to- pcther in the extreme corner of the grounds. Had the Held been clear , it would have been a threo-sackcr only. How the Dos Molnes brigade dfd make the welkin ring ! It was positively dis unting to make such u fuss over such a little thing as ono run. The side wont out with Windy Irwin's puny drive to Shannon. In the fourtll Burns hit a long fly to Shafcr , and Flynn hit ono to Van Dyke , but a second time was Anni * given a lifo by n furablo ot Atwood's. Hut it was no uso. O'Connoll immediately went out at first. In her half Des Moines lengthened her lead by another run. Shafer hit for two bags , the Uyclopeau Holliduy struck out for the bocond tiinu. but Mucullar's drive tb Doran was muffed , and Shafer caino clear in on Doran's throw to catrh Macullar at second , Alvord nnd Van Dyke's outs retired the sido. Again in the tifth was it one , two , tliron for Omutia , nnd their prospects wcro growing more discouraging every moment. In their half Trullloy died from pitcher to first , and Smith from third to first. Then O'Connell very condescendingly muffed Do- rans throw of Steam's hit , and the latter in dividual reached the base in safety. Ho btolo second , but Quinn struck out and the agony was ovor. In the succeeded inning there was much enthusiasm , but more disappointment. Lovett ought to have scored but didn't. Ho led oil with u beautiful two bairgcr. Wilson drove a long lly to Holllday and of course ro- tired. Then UuniH hit to third , who threw wild lo Stearns. Hums tried to uiuko second on the error , but was caught , and a moment later Lovett was caught at thu plato. For the prohibitionists Shafcr iicw out to Miller , u line catch , but Holliday w.is given a llftbyTlynn'smufiof his high lly. How ever , there was no harm done , for Mucullur How out to Annis ami Alt'ord to Hums. Hut nt lust thu lucky snvcuth was reached , nnd everybody braced themselves for do vulopcmcnls. Sure enough they wore forthcoming. Hero's where you yell. Flynn popped up a high ono to big Alvord , and with a disgusted look went and sat down. Annis then lined out a two bugger , nnd O'Connell made the four thousand spectators Jump for joy as ho bunged thu ball to far center for n couple of bags himself , while Annis , amid a whirlwind of applause , diished home. Hut when Miller followed with the third two-bugger m succession , the crond fairly went mad , for O'CoimeJl went homo and the fcuoro was tied. Tills was plenty for ono inning and Shannon and Doran obligingly went out. This knocked all the skittishncss out of the prohibitions. Quinn closed up like a clam , while a gob of gloom hung around Holliduy's mug to thick that ho couldn't smile. They never whimpered again throughout the struggle , but uutod just like a lot of old pu'.ipcd out race lion-ca. They were ox- llngnUhcd as fast as they came to the but , Van llyke , Traftley ami Smith. The Omahas wcro now feeling pre'.ly Rood nnd to i'.eep up the jubilance in the grand stand , Lovett i4p.ert out a two bug.-cr. Thou Wilson hit to Macullur , who c\iutht Lovett trying to make third , Wilton , however , bomg safe. ' Hums then htnu\c out , ami on Klynu's snfo hit WHson , of course , made second.

Agents for Bulterick's ' Patterns , .MORSEKO oac , drove the ball into far center for two bags , and sending Wilson and Flynn homo. The uproar at this point was tremendous. Men shrieked and yelled and waved their hats , while the ladies laMghcd aud clapped their hands , and It was fully two or three minutes before order wus restored. The gume was won. O'Coniiell ' then got his base on balls , but Miller retired from second to firs t , and the crestfallen Prohibitionists canio in. It was no use , however , for although Quinn got his base by being hit , the side was retired without further exploit. In the ninth short work , was made of Omaha , but Macullar , the first man at the bat for Des Moincs , mode a two bagger. He got no further , Alvord flew out to Burns , VnnDykc struck out , and Traflloy died from third to first. It was a great and a glorious game , and here is the score : OMAHA.

He is quick , sharp and decisive , und the crowd wus pleased with him. ( Bug Holliduy failed to distinguish himself yesterday , oilier than by making u holy mon key of himself. The vim and vinegar was pretty "effectu ally knocked nut of the giddy prohibitionists in the Seventh yesterday. What's the mutter with Sowdcrs ? His playing so far lias been excellent , and ho was butted with the best in the team. KStcarns should bo called down on Ills dirty lirst base play. He is nn old timer , and should retire witnout tarnishing his reputa tion by dirty boll. The crowd at the will grounds to-day ex ceed that of any similar assemblage ever seen in this city. Thcro were fully four thousand people in attendance yesterday. The Nonpareil base ball club desires to play any amateur club in the city or state. Any challenge sent to Tom Flynn , manager , 1(115 ( Center street , will receive prompt atten tion. tion.Danny Danny Stearns is guilty of a dirty trick on ilrst base that will get him into trouble one of these days. Ho has a fashion of bumping a runner lo the base with his body in a way that seldom fails to knock him down. He served Lovett in this manner yesterday on a clean two base hit ho had just made into the buggies in left Held , and Lovett got no further than . .first. The umpire very prop erly , however , gave him second base , to which he was clearly entitled. The whole Des Moines team "beefed" long und loud , but Brcnnan wasn't to bo intimidated by the gang , and after threatening to call the game in favor of Omaha , the wolves went buck to their posi tions and the game went on.

The game of cricket is bound to become a popular one in this city this year. The Omaha Cricket club was llrst organ ized in the spring of 16St > , and the ensuing summer witnessed several decisive victories over botli local and other teams , notably those of Lincoln and Hastings. Last year the club wus compelled to be rather inactive , owing to the loss of a number of "prominent members through change of residence , etc. , so that beyond the almost weekly contests , recorded in the daily papers at the tlmo , between the "Ilamlcllitcs" and "Quidnuncs" or "Nondescripts , " both of which teams be longed to tie ) Omaha Cricket club , nnd an oc casional the "St. ' " victory over George's , no matches of any importance were played. This season however , promises to bo un paralleled in the annals of cricket west of Chicago , at least , if any one may Judge by the enthusiasm expressed nt the annual and subsequent meetings of this banner club of the west. The management has been en tirely changed and with the exception of the presidency , which is still an open question , the offices have been all filled with men who possess an intricate knowlcdgo of the duties devolving upon tholr several departments. The newly elected ofiicers of tno ulub uro men who are old at the game and will make this season's team the best that has over been in the city. The management of the club has been placed In the hands of an executive com mittee composed of the officers and eight prau tlcal members , viz , Messrs. George H. Vaughan , W. It. Vauglmn , H. W. Taylor , .1. Crulckshank. .r. A , Jopp , R E , Smith , It. Nunn and Mr. Croon , nnd the manner in which arrangements for the ensuing season huva been perfected rcllects great credit upon their judgment and discernment. That nroblotnso dllllcultto solva in this city , the icaso of a tract of ground requiring a mcor turf than lawn tennis , has been brought to a successful issue and thu Omaha Driving park is the location chosen. Hy taking thu street car company's biuo line this ground U easy of access as the base bull park paviilion , with the difference of a few minutes longer travel , and the agreement grants the club the Ube of water and roller , advantages which ovcry cricketer will at once rccognlzo. The llrst practice match of the bciiRon came off yesterday afternoon , and the largu und enthusiastic gathering speaks well for the Interest taken in thu game by outsiders as wnll as members. The colors of the club are dark blue and white , and it is fondly hoped by the boys th.it the fair ladies of our city will favor these colors in the expected mutch with the champions of Chicago on the Fourtll of J lily.
