A Bloux City Paper's Uncalled For At tack on Umpire MoDormott Queries and Answers Mis- Colin neous Sports. Righting a Wrong. One of the most colossal exhibitions of gall nnd malice of the day Is the attack of the "Sandy" Mc- Sioux City Times upoa umpire Dermott.ono of the most efficientfearlcss-and conscientious umpires In all the country. It not qnly berates ana vilifies him in the most unwarranted way as an incompetent nnd nn Imbecile , but calls him a robber and a thief , simply because ho did Just what the rules governing the game oblige him to do , and what ho know to bo strictly right. The Times' wrath all grow out of a deci sion Mr. MoDormott was called upon to make in St. Paul recently , whore the Sioux City team was ploying. Before the game MoDormott showed both score cards to th captains of the two teams and they wore ape proved.In the third Inning Sioux O It- wanted to substltuto Flannngan for Bingy ham , their only oxeuso being that the Apostles tles were "killing" the ball. Solblo was- down on the score card as Sioux City's sub- ntltoto , or tenth man , and Flannagon , accor ding to tbo rules inado and provided , bad no earthly right to bo substituted for Blngham. The umpire and both captains approved of the list wlta Belbol upon it , and no was the only legal substitute. Sioux City. howeVer , < knuw bet tor , and endeavored to bulldoze McDermott - mott Into submitting to their demands. Of course , like the first-class umpire that ho is , ho refused , and in consequence the Corn Iluskors refused to go on with the game. McDermott waited the legally prescribed time live minutes and then gave the gamete to St. Paul.O to 0which was exactly lust ana proper , and Sioux City has no cause for com plaint , no kick coming egalnat any ono save their block-headed captain. If there was a posiiiblo chance for a squeal ncre. ono would certainly emanate from Omaha , as St. Paul , who Is Omaha's only rival for the pennant , as It looks now , gets a victory by MoDermott's decision. But she only wants what's right , and that victory belonged - longed as thoroughly to St. Paul as If she bad 'knocked it out of Mr. Blnghaiu by a score of SO to 0. nnd Jim Powell is well aware of the fact , but ho had to make some excuse to the olub managers at homo , anil bo did ll by blackguarding Umpire McDcnuott. The limes took up this irresponsible player's story , and now finds Itself involved In a $10,000 libel suit , which was Instituted by McDormoH'8 lawyers on Wednesday lost. Tlio Polo J/onjuo. Immediately on tbo close of the baseball season the organization of the proposed western polo league will bo completed , and early in October the Coliseum will bo put In first-class shape for tbo game. Munaecr Prince has iimuo fine headway with the pre liminary work , and has no doubt now what ever of bringing the enterprise to a success ful Usuo , ' . ' 'ho probable cities that will be embraced ia this body are Omaha , St. Paul , Minneapolis , Sioux City , DOB Moines and St. Joe. Spauldliig , tto Chicago baseball mogul , offers to organize a team in that city , if membership in the western league is as sured him , but It is hardly probable that the Windy city will bo taueu in , lor many co gent reasons. Kansas City , too , Is ambitious lu this line , and Jimmy Manning Is already culing hU lines for players. Omaha will experience but llttlo difficulty In securing a good team , ns the material for the nucleus ii right here now. in Canavan , Nichols , Willis and Crook * , of the Omaha ball team , ana all these men will be willing to winter here. U begin * to loon M if the league vvus a sure f-fcSb.- * . . _ , _ go , and the Coliseum will bo the scene of many a stirring battle during the long even ings of tbo coming-winter , c What ia an Amateur ? There is a vast number of alleged ( porting authorities who have a very indefinite idea of the meaning of the word amateur. The word , as defined by the athletic organiza tions of this country , hews very close to the lino.An amateur becomes a professional the moment ho contests for a money prize or gate receipts , or when ho teaches athletics or In any way derives a revenue from his athletic qualifications , Any game of ball oven In which one or more players , who have played professionally In the past , take part , cannot be called an amateur contest. A Seloo's Tcstlinonlnl. The benefit to be tendered P. G. Seleo , manager of the Omaha base ball team , next Thursday , promises to bo not only nn inter esting affair , but a big success , The ball game in Itself would bo sufficient to satisfy the lovers of the great national sport , but in addition to this there are to be u series of sprint races by amateurs and profes sionals , match base running , lng dis tance throwing , niwrcstln ; match , nnd other athletic performances of a marvel and entertaining character. The grand stand and. and the bleachers should bo packcd.and there- Is every likelihood that they will bo. The Omahas arc rapidly clinching their hold on the pennant , and If they win it , It can bo truttiful said that it has boon won by a club carrying fewer men than ever won a championship before. This has all been ac complished by Solec's excellent manage ment. Ho has given to Omaha the finest ball team ever organized In the west , and the patrons of the sport should not fall to turn out and give him a rousing testimonial next Thursday. Tlio Apnllos' Doings. The Apollo Wheel club Is In a flourishing condition and is growing every day. It has been organUcd but two months , and yet has a membership of thirty all energetic young riders. Dell Wertz , who has quite a reputa tion as a rider , is making a good president , and the balance of the officers are active and efficient. A run will bo made to Honeycreak Luke , Iowa , Sunday morning , leaving the club rooms at 0:15. : Captain Pixloy says this IB ono of the finest runs within a radius of fifty miles , and urges tbo members to turn out. The distance to the lake , which is a lovely little sheet of water nestling midst u very bower of vegetation , is in the neigh borhood of sixteen miles , through one of the most picturesque agricultural regions lu the whole state. The lost weekly run was to Crescent , Ia , , and was a very enjoyable uno. Fifteen of the boys made the pilgrimage nnd they were all carried away wltti the delightful trip. The roads were n trifle dusty , but caused no noil- ous discomfort. Tno two ambitious youngsters who tried to run away from the club are cautioned that this Is not very becoming deportment on a regular run. Questions and Answers. Charles W. Worrell , Beatrice.

" The Prohibitionists have made two lucky pickups this season In signing the cast-off players , Whitely and Kinsman. Both these men are playing superb ball * It Is said that Mllwaukeo'madc an offer to buy the entire Columbus , O. , American as sociation team , but the offer was declined. Milwaukee has the American association boo In her bonnet bad. Dos Moines , to curtail expenses , has re leased Its best men , In Smith , Whitoloy and Klusman. Des Moines should be cut out of the Western association another season. As a ball town she's no good. Cyclone Jim Dur.yea , who pitched last sea son for the St. Pauls , IB very sensitive re garding newspaper criticism. Ho grows particularly wrutby at the Cincinnati sciibcs when they dure intimata'that ho has u semi- dead arm. s The warm weather wonder , McNabb , for whom Denver planked down ono thousand sesterces , is panning out badly in this asso ciation. Ho has been a berry for the Oma has , and in fact all the other teams exper ience llttlo dlfllculty In Hading him. Sam Morton has'struok amino with the Minneapolis team. That town up there is a great ono on base ball. The attendance at tfilrty-thrco games played on the homo grounds numbered 80.150 souls. This moans a plethoric purse for the long-headed Samuel when the melancholy days have coiuo. JacU Gorman , who played in Omaha a short while toward Vha close of last seasonIs reported to bo dying in St. Louis from a tumor in his side , ttio result of an Injury re ceived in this city while stealing second base In the last game ho played hero. A ball player has allinrd time securing a bat that in shape and weight suits his fancy , and once secured they have as hard a timeto Iteep it , as the members of good teams are on the constant lookout for "good sticks , " anil are not particular how they get them , Andy Cuslck , the old National Icaguo player and Western association umpire , bus been playing ball for the past two months with the West Point ; Not ) . , team. Ho is now nt Hot Sprintrs , Dale. , whore ho expects to restore his rlgtit arm , which has boon "dead" for a year or more. The board of director ) ; are already talking over the question of Btrcngthening the team for next seasonas , thora cems to bo evidence of an intention to put iniretnvigcr teams in all the Western association cities for 1800. Lines are ahoady belnglluld to secure two or thrco promising young players for the homo team. A good ball player never has to spend u cant for hU liquor , as-there ate so many empty-headed fools who who would give their all Just for the 'sake of haying the players accept their Invitation to drink. U Is in this way that so many players , pitchers especially , make wrocktt'of themselves. And still this mouljy.old chestnut keeps going the rounds : f'Jbh'n S. Barnes , the manager of the St. Paul club , who recently fell heir to an estate In Jroluntt worth f.'tOO- 000 , has promised his nu-n that ha will tuke them to England If they.wli | the champion ship.

We have just received 8 cases of All Wool Scarlet Blankets and 10 bales of Sateen Comforts recently purchased by Mr. Falconer , in Now York , at a great eacrillce. Wo guarantee to save you at what they want and no phonoms arc to bo secured. The names of Krock. of Chicago ; Burdick , lately with Indianapolis ; Kennedy , of Wheeling ; Duke , of Minneapolis ; Nich ols , of-Omaha , ana Knell , of St. Joe have beea'bid.for- as yet they have secured none of them. There is some doubt whether Dick Pholan , Des Moincs' .second baseman , will bo able to nlav ball again this season. The injury ho received several weeks ago by his collision with Tom Nagle at the homo plate , was a bad ono. and stubborn about getting well. Phelan feels his inforced lay-off keenly , as he was playing the game of his life this sea son , and was bound to make a record. No team in the country is more prolific in nicknames than'.tho Omahas. Nearly every member of the team is known to the "bleachers" by some endearing cognomen. There is "Grover" Cleveland , "Big Fat Jnkoy" Struss , "Snapper Nava" Coonoy , "Tit" Willis , "Well Well" Crooks , "White Wings" Walsh , "Dad" Clarke , "Kid" Nichols , "Scrappy Jack" Messltt , "Old Horse" Andrews and "Jainosey" Canavan , Kid Nicholas , says the Kansas City Times , Is the star pitcher of the Western associa tion , and is not only doing fine work but lots of it. Last Saturday ho pitched two games against Minneapolis , winning both. Minne apolis made only ten hits off of him in two games. Although Nichols is young enough to still bo called "Kill" he is big boned and strong , und eighteen consecutive innings do not wear on him as much us on some of the old-timers. Ho has n contract with Omaha that provides that ho'shall not bo reserved , and in all probability bo will bo pitching for Kansas City next season. Nichols has no such contract with Omaha , nnd if ho pitches for Kansas City next year , Kansas City will pay the Omaha manage ment a great big gob of money for him this fall. fall.It It seems preposterous to attribute unsuc cessful ball playing to poor , Innocent , in offensive uniforms , but it Is rather singular that no club that has adopted the black uni form has had any luck until the somber gar ments wore discarded. The Clnclnnatls wore pigmies In black , and lost gaino after game with such horrifying regularity that it drove half the ians down in Porkopolls crazy. They threw their black Nadjys aside , and have been trotting along with a full measure of success ever since. Cleveland adopted the undertaker's colors Immediately after their first successful eastern trip and climbed right up on the toboggan. They have dis carded them within the past week and are again being Rinllcd upon by queer old Daino Fortune. Will Oinutia bo compolbd to shoot her raven togp ? It loolcs that way. Eastern base ball writers are continually harping upon the desirability of Jersey City and Nowrrk as American association cities , in case of any vacancies In this body next season. But the fact Is , that neither ODD of these cities has a ghoat of a show of ever being tu It on In tbo American association , nt leant while there are such thriving , wide-awake , go-ntioad towns as Minneapolis , Milwaukee , Detroit and Buffalo to draw from. There will bo a vacancy or two in this organization there seems to bo but liUlo doubt just now , nnd in case there is. the prediction Is made hero that either Minneapolis or Milwaukee will bo the city which will hnvo the first call. Minneapolis has demonstrated this season her capability of holding up her oud In any base ball organization , nnd this is probably her last year as a member of a minor league. As a base ball town , Omaha isn't to bo men tioned In the same day. Miscellaneous Sports.

Under the sweetest flowers that blow , Hides the thorn that hurts us so. Under the rose , but the rose Is sweet ; Fairest of all the flowers wo moot , And never in life will it seem loss sweet , For the thorn that pierces unwary feet. Under the rose that wo pluck In joy , Is tlu\ sharpest thorn Its ono alloy ; So pain and pletisuie , grief and joy , If It wore not so would sweetness cloy I Under the rose that wo pick to day , The roio that the months are speeding nwny , The thorn lies hidden unfely away.
