Btoux CITY , July 27. [ Special to TIIR
BEK.J The throats that nro tnndo that Sam
Norton is to bo deposed as secretary of the
Western llano Hall league , and censure of
President McCormtclc , of the Omaha club ,
for not calling a mooting of the league for
that purpose is entirely unmerited. A ma
jority of the clubs have not asltod President
McCormlslc to cull such a mooting , nnd there
Is no sign that ho will do RO , Thu board of
directors of tno Sioux City club say that
they have not signed nnd will not sign such
n call , Mumigor Kowo , of the Denver club ,
poreoimlly told your correspondent the other
day that ho had not tnlton such action.
With the Minneapolis , Omaha , Sioux
City and Denver clubs refusing to
sign the fall , a meeting cmmot bo held , nor
would it bo of any avail for the deposing of
Morton if it should bo held. As Duvu Kowo
Bays , there have been some poor umpires , but
thin is the experience of all the leagues. Hot
ter umpires are furnished as fast us they can
bo secured , The kick of thu tit. Paul club
really comes from the recent bud work of the
club , for which it itself is to blamO. Dos
Molncs has always bcon n Idcker. The
Sioux City club has boon unfortunate , and
as a result has lost many game * during the
past fe\v week * , but Ihlif wus not tlm fault of
the umpires , and thu club lias nn kick to reg
ister. nut the indications are that Secre
tary Morton will probably stay through Uio
oaaou. _ ,

In the Western association race Uio only
notnblo change ban boon that .Omaha has
ncroascd her load to 73 points ever St.
Paul , nnd U galloping along nt n rate that , K
continued , will glvo her the pennant by a
rood largo majority. She has but llttlo
'urthor to fear In the raoo , if the man but
keep in condition.
In the Lcnguo race , Boston again forged
iway ahead during the past week , Incroivj-
ng her load ever Now York , her next near
est rival , to CO points. The Uoan Eaters
won four games out of five played , whllo the
OlnnU Just reversed this order of things ,
winning ono nnd losing four. Consequently
Jolhnm biuto ball circles just now nro con
spicuous for tholr lack of cntnuslasm. This
.lino last week they were only five points
behind Mlko Kelly , and they were coming at
n gait that threatened to carry them to the
lend of the procession with n rush.
In the American association the status ot
affairs remained unchanged , save that
Urooklyn has gamed seven additional points
on the llrowns , and nro now only thirty-four
lolnta ueli I nil. Cincinnati nnd Haltlmorn art )
almost n tlo for third place , and it Is safe to
predict that th& porlionolitans will gel thorn

IN COURT SEVENTY-EIGHT YEARS
A Kentucky Suit Which Has Cost
Nearly $1OOOOOO.
The terra of the.circuit court of Pay-
otto county. Kentucky , which has just
closed nt Lexington , disposed of ono of
the oldest suits pcndiiif in Kentucky ,
ftnd ono of more than ordinary interest ,
which has been in ttio courts since
1811. suys the Springfield Republican.
It is known us that of WicklitTo's exec
utors against Brockinriufjo'ahoira. The
case lias boon to the court of appeals
several ti'ncs , and at last , after costing
in the neighborhood of a mil
lion dollars , It has boon decided
in favor ol the heirs o ! John
Brockinridjje. The nuit was originally
based upon an alleged contract made
between John Lee , on the ono part , and
John Brockinridgo und George Nicholas
las on the other part , dated August 0 ,
1795 , where Lee sold to Nicholas and
Brockinridgo one-half of a tract of land
in Clark county , Ky. , containing ever
9.000 acres for the sum of50 n 1UO acres.
Henry Clay was mixed in the oisn orig
inally. The orgitml claim out of whicti
this claim arose amounted to only
about $ -5,000 , but the amount of land in
volved , the pre.siiut value on account of
the rinh iron deposits and the imtural
tendency of litigants to fight as
long as possible , have combined to keep
this case on the docket these many
years. The record in very voluminous' ,
and many of the papers in tlio case are
curiosities , dating back to the founda
tion of the commonwealth.
It Wns { lie Unuiirc' * Day Off.
Now York Sun : It had been a close
ganio. And it had boon full ot those
close decisions whicL both clubs and
their backers think wrong1 if the voice
of the umpire is against their wishes.
Finally , in the tenth inning , when the
bases were full and only ono run was
needed to win , the umpire decided the
striker out.
This was the straw that broke tlio
camel's back.- The losing club rutthcd
at the umpire with shrieks and curses ,
and but for the prompt intorforeiico of
the police ho would hnvo been butch
ered then and there.
The excitement was prodigious. The
angry inussos surgo/J back and forth ,
and every man on the ground but one
was in a fury. That solitary exception
that one calm nnd unrulllod man wan
the umpire.
His impiirlorbiiblo patience and suav
ity attracted the attention of n reporter ,
and when the mob had exhausted its
violence agiiinst the protecting cordon
of poliuo and the umpire was til lont'th
able to luavo tlio Held in safely , thu re
porter nccoslod him.
' Well , you'vo earned your money
to-day , " ho remarked , sympathetically.
"O , I don't know , " said the -quiet
man. "That wasn't much , I'm jiibtoff
for my holiday and resting mjvolf. "
"May I ask you. elr , " inquired tlio reporter -
porter respectfully , "if the scene of
to-day BtriUOfl you as a holiday rest ,
what may bo your regular business ? "
"Certainly , " replied the strange ,
calm man. "I am the complaint clerk

A RcconimciKlation ijikoly to llo
Miuln to Conuri'HH by Tracy.
WA81HNOJ.ON , July 7. Ono of the recom
mendations likely to bo incorporated in the
report of Secretary Tracy to congress tills
fall is that all vessels built or purchased by
the government shall bo constructed with n
view to service in tlmo of war as smaller
naval vessels. Sa.d a prominent
ofllcuil of the navy department , speaking on
the subject :
"If wo are going to have a navy , lot 111
build it up by all moans in our power and
make every vessel owned by thfe govern
meat part oi it , to bo used for Its primary
purpose In time of pence , but nladu effective
for offensive and defensive warfare in time
of war. There are probably n hundred
rnvonuo cutters , light hound tenders nnd
vessels operated in the service ns the lish
commission , cuast survey , etc. , which
could und should bo constructed so as to form
u powerful arm of the navy m time of need.
As it is , they nro built without regard for
the protection of their machinery or facilities
for carrying armament , lioth of tlicsu could
bo provided without materially Increasing
the cost of vessels. Secretary Trncy , In
order to carry out this Idea of unity In plan
and organization , has appointed u board
which will report to him the general plutt to
bo fallowed in building up the navy.
