[ 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. _ , Bloux City Hfli'iiKCi ! to IMny.

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.
