A WANTON SLAUGHTER OF GAME Tlio Full Shooting Tournament Talk Alinui tlmllykcrs Watklns * Ncrvo Xlio ItliiK , lloil , Gun nnil Oar H Sports , Kto. The A'nvombor The Novoinlior nicotlngs of the Western k , nssnoliulon , tlio National league and the American aHsoulatlon will bu fraught with much that Is Important to the welfare and progress of the great national sport. A curi ous concatenation of circumstances makes this inevitable , and everywhere base ball mdcula and managers are wliottlng their ctinotors for some wholesale slashing. The meeting of the Western association Will bo held In this city on Friday , Novem ber 15 , and IB liable to hold over a day or two on account of the bulk of business to trans- net , That theio will bo no end of surprises is likewise an undoubted fact , but to hint at their nature would probably bo only to In crease the snarl anil bring no good upon any- ono. Among other things that will bo at tended to Is the reformation of the nssocla- tlon , the examination of applications , the selection of new members and the acceptance of the resignation of outgoing clubs. At this early data It would bo impossible to predict wno will iill the yucanclcs that will occur at tno end of tlio season. That Dos Monies and St. Joe are going out there Is no longer a shadow ot a doubt. Another matter of vital Importance that will be urced upon the meeting is an abso lute provision covering drawn and postponed games , This will bo vigorously treated in the meetings of the two major bodies , and it is predicted here that not only the transfer ring of games scheduled for ono city to an other will bo peremptorily abolished but the doubling up of two games in an afternoon I also. If by any arrangement two games are to bo ployed in ono day , lut one of thorn be Ma the morning and the other in thu alter- noon , Those games this season Iiavo given rise to much ( Ussalli. faction , nnd the suspi cion of unfairness has been attendant upon many of them. Another matter that will bo liberally treated upon Is the umpire question , uml talc- Ing tlio general sentlmont prevailing among men who inulco the game a business and a study , the double umplro system will bo adopted in the three associations mentioned In the opening pnrugnipli , Thliwlllboa move In the right direction , for so clearly has the trial of two umpires established tholr advantages and elllcleney over ono that the system is sure to bo adopted. It is Impossible for a single umplro to dccldo correctly of the movements of men on bases and at the bat too , and consequently many of Ills adjudications must bo Inllu- encod by the players or purely guess work , ono or the other. Tumultuous and threaten ing 8ccuos upon the ball Hold , arls- Inj ; from error * of the umpire , have boon of too frequent occur rence to Justify tlio Ignorance of any proposi tion that will tend to auinllorato the present condition of things , The double umplro sys tem Is the happy remedy. A man to dccldo on balls and sti-lUes , and ono to watch ttio bases , to alternate every innings. Is beyond a doubt the way out of this ugly situation , And , moreover , Ills bound to come and comate to stay. ' Still another matter calls for consideration ; and that is a chaiigo In the position of the base bags , but whether there will bo any notion in this respect remains to bo seen. liut it strikes an attentive observer of all the details of play that a great many wrenched Uuuos , snramod ankles and spiked feet might bo8i\ved by having the bases Hush with the srouud and the players privileged to over run them all , the satno as first. This , of course , has Its woaic points , but they could nil bo satisfactorily oHsnnatod by a careful study of the situation. As to the work being cut out for the West ern association meeting , little remains to bo said. This body , however , should take lull cognizance of the fact that they constitute tno third base ball organization of the coun try , nnd nro , in consequence , entitled to just and adequate recognition at the hands of the older bodies. Their views on tlio wants nnd necessities of the game should bo as cogent as these of the potentates of the league or association , and deserving of just as much consideration. Consequently , they should not wait and depend upon the notion of the two major bodies to legislate in their own , and while it is only wise counsel to advise them to adhere legally to and abide faith fully by the smallest requirement of the national agreement , it is urged upon them to make rcrtuln laws and regulations of their own to speak up and linvo a voice on base ball matters , and not sit idly by and permit the thick headed Von Dor Alies , the arbitrary Byrnes , the Sterncs , the Sodons , the Mutrics , Days , Nimlcks , Wrights nnd Spnuldlugs.to map out a course of action for them Irom which they must not nor aaro not dovinto. It is this passive dubscrvionco which strius the Western association of its virility , its force and independence and render * U little moro than a subsidiary branch of tlio older bodies , nullities its laws , and makes it insig nificant in the eves of these wlio are wall aware of tlio rights and prerogatives to which they ere entitled. Let the November meeting of the Western association bo a meeting of the Western association , and not a ratiticatlon convention of the meetings of the National leuguo and American association. The Ouiobor Slioot. The Gwin and Dunmlro grand annual trap shooting tournament will ho held upon their grounds across the river Tuesday , vVodncs- day and Thursday , October I , 3 and 3 , and promises to bo a highly succcsstul affair. There will bo many notable shots In attendance from all the adjoining stales , as well as largo delegations from the Lin coln , Kearney , Hastings , Grand Island and Fremont gun oiubs. The management pre dicts tlio largest assemblage of local sports men that has gotten together hero for yoars. There will bo live pigeon , blackbird and Kngllsh sparrow matches , in addition to arti- llolal target shoots without number. There will bo no handicapping , only In sooelal matches , no ono barred and no favorites played. Messrs. Gwin & Dunmlro Intend to do llio thing up right. Tnoy are making elaborate preparations for tlio occasion and visiting sportsmen can rely upon most satis factory arrangements as to accommodations , conditions of ttio shoots and all minor de tails , Tlio shooting grounds , which are in line condition , are only live minutes' ride on the smooth-running motor from tlio Mlllard corner , and no inconvonlonoo will ho experienced In gutting to and from the grounds. In fact the tournament will bo conducted on a strictly tlrat-class basis from the opening "pull" to the closing crack. A row Cold , Hard Pnots , The annual hunts of the Omaha and Lo FovraGun clubs will both coma off during the last two weeks In October , and alraady the members are getting the fever bad , These club hunts , however , should bo deprecated by all honest and legitimate sportsmen who have an Interest in the pres ervation , protection and propagation of our game birds and animals ; in sootli , they should bo frowned down and abolished as a regular yearly practice forever. They are literally nothing moro nor less than a wanton slaughter of game ; nothing escapes that wears hair or feathers , it amounts just tlio sumo to the emulous gunner whether ho bags a suow-buntlug or a geese , a ground squirrel or antelope , they all contribute toward swelling his Individual score , and that Is what he is after , to uiako the blgirctl record possible. Then again , so far as the writer 1ms been able to judge from what ho has soon of theio hunts , they never fail to create ajanglo within clubs aud tholr discordant notes nan bo heard tingling throughout the lontr win ter , or until the time arrives to begin talking about another hunt. And this Is not all. As every member of these two clubs well knows , there is nothing fair or equitable about the mode of conducting thcsa hunts , or annual slaughtering oxpcditons.whlcu ! would bo n moro boH ting appellation. While a larger majority of the participants doubtless re turn an honest count , there are not a few who do not. With the latter element it is any thing to augment his side's score , and as n consequence they run In Kamo killed days before the hunt , buy it , hire men to shoot for them , or got It in any manner possible just so it is rncordod to tholr credit. Under these circumstances , of course , the result is no test as to the capacity of the respectlvo sides f s flold shots , nnd the sldo actuallv making the best score is just as apt to have to defray the expenses of the supplementary banquet as the siilo that was honestly defeated. These are plain , cold facts , well known to the members of both clubs , nnd can give no reasonable offense. There is no argument necessary. Those annual club hunts arc pernicious in all tholr results , nnd It would bo wisdom on tbo part of each organization to call a halt. Mllwnukoo'H AHplrntlons. It is a well known fact that Milwaukee has been endeavoring to break Into the American association for the past five years , but the American association bus steadily declined to allow any such occurrence. Secretary Qulnn now says : "Yes , sir , wo will undoubtedly have the ilrst clunico with the Americans. The man agement knows just in what consideration wo hold the American association. As soon us there Is an opportunity to secure a vacancy wo have the Ilrst call. 1 have attended all the meetings of the directors , and I know their views in regard to Milwaukee. They will recognize us as the ilrst applicant. Yes , I think Milwaukee will bo In the American association the coming year. " WntkiiiB and His Gall. KINBAB CITV , Mo. , Sept. 20 , 1SS9. Presi dent McCormiclr , Omaha , Neb. Dear Sir : As your team will have disbanded by the 151 Ii of October nnd you will bo unabla to play us a series at that time , I would ask that you give mo the use of your park for two games between Kansas City and the St. Louis Urowns on Tuesday and Wednesday , Octo ber and 23. These games are two of n series of eleven games that Kansas City and St. Louis arc going to play for tbo cham pionship of Missouri for $1,000 a sldo , A reply at your earliest convenience will greatly oblige. Yours respectfully , W. H. WATKINS. President McCormlck replied to the above Informing the Kansas City manager that ho could have the grounds foru reasonable com pensation. Tlio This thing of doubling up games to suit this and that team manager who is ambitious to boat some other minuter out of a place , is becoming extremely obnoxious to honest and fair-minded baio ball patrons. Why , in Sioux Citv the other dav they played no loss than four games , and Sioux City won them all. That is simply ridiculous , nnd all but ono of the eamcs wag very properly thrown out. Rvon two iratnes of ball , especially nt this time of the year is entirely too much of a good thing , and Is sure to en tail moro discomfort than pleasure. Even the most continued crank is apt to get a sur feit and leave t ho park disgusted. Tlio day a are too short for two games this late in the season , and the air too decldonly impreg- uuntutl with the nipping breath of Jack Froit. These drawoatks. however , nro not the chief ones. The unfairness of the prac tice , and the serious trouble it Is liable to on- tall upon the associations , Is sufllolout to warrant legislation upon this head , and it is sure to couio at the November meetings. Dontli of Jnalc Gorman. Jack Gorman , who played first base for Omaha a portion of last season during P. O. Connell's lay-off , died Monday last at his homo in St. Louis of quick consumption. Jack was quite a well known ball player , a quiet , gentlemanly fellow , and tlio only sup port of a widowed mother. The news of his death was received with much regret by all his old friends hero. Talk About tin : WliooliiUM ) . This is the time of the year when wheeling becomes a pleasure. Riders welcomed the cool breezes of the past few days nnd many of the boys wno didn't care to ride during the hot summer months have boon polishing up tholr wheels , ana promise to make a mileage record during the month of October that will make the captain feel proud. Tbo plans for the year 1890 have partly been laid out , and a team that will rival that of any of the eastern clubs will go into active training during the coining winter. Ten of tlio Omaha Wheel club boys will ride fifty-eight inch wheels next season , nnd will present as line a boay of wheelmen as thcro is in the United States. Doctor Conner nnd a party of friends are out in Wyoming after boar. The last re ports say that our ex-president killed six bears before brcnkfast lost Thursday , and the score stands now 8 to 3 in favor of the hunters , the boais hav ing disabled Messrs.

Ono big 000 pound crlzzly triad to make a meal out of Doc , but a dose of laughing gas ma Jo his bcarshtp give in that ho didn't euro for meat that day , and the boys hope to have his skin in the shape of a rug at tholr club room this winter. Hilly Townsend , who has been laid up with rheumatism , is up aud around again. In an other week ho will bo able to compete for the Florence modal. By the wav , what has become of this mcdall Last year it was worn by some of the boys , but as yet wo have failed to sco it this year. Why don't these ambitious club members get up and break tbo record that was made before the grading had been completed , The record G8 minutes and 35 seconds ought to bo beaten at least by K minutes. A challenge will seed be issued from some of the Council LI 1 nTs ( horsemen to race any member of the Omaha wheel club from the motor bridge to the Httlo bridge at Streot- vllle. If the wheels getbcaton we will know the reason why. The postponed monthly mooting was hold at the club room last Tuesday night with the president in the chair. The run to Waterloo last Sunday was post poned on account of rain , but If chincos are Lrood wo'll ' cat watermelons on tbo Emerson farm next week. Mittauor Is riding ad ordinary again.

" Jim Drain , of the 'Lincoln Wheel club , showed what the Eagle'Is capable of doing by winning the race at Lincoln last week against eight other good men. The man with the Cyclometer Is talking aoout a hill-climbing contest with a well known safety rider in the club. The course will bo over Davenport street and the winner is to bavoUS per cunt of the gatu receipts. The annual club photograph will bo taken within the next two weeks , probably at Fair- mount park. The boy * are expected to turn out in full uniform ou ( bis occasion , as It will bo very important to have all tbo active mem bers in the picture. The Sioux City Hicyclo club will hove a scries of races Tuesday and Wednesday , September St and. 25 , besides tholr grand social meet of the wheelmen of the north west , and a number of very Imudnome prizes tmvo been offered for the different contests. Some of the Omaha boys will avail thorn- selves of this opportunity , to got acquainted with the Sioux boys , nnd at the same time gaze on the wonder of the nineteenth cen tury , the corn palnco. Itlnnazer Frank Seloc. Inasmuch ns Manager Frank Seleo leaves Omaha this evening and will not return again until spring , a few words to his credit will not bo out of place. Ono thing the gen tleman has demonstrated to the satisfaction of a great majority of the lovers of the na tional game , is that ho knows bow to mauago a base ball team as completely as any man In the country. His success In moulding out of tbo present team the easy champions of the Western association this season is abun dant evidence in substantiation of this state ment. Ho has a policy peculiar to himself , nnd leniency and consideration of his men is its chief feature. Ho is undemonstrative and not given to roasting or fining players. His methods are quiet and Inoffensive , and ho handles his men with the perfection at tained by the strictest disciplinarian. Every man in tbo Omaha team has only words of pralso an d esteem for Solco. They llito him nnd are ambitious to win bis esteem in re- turr. . Scleo , too , besides being a most cfllciont manager both on and olT the flold , is ono of the best judges of u ball player in the country. Ho > has made comparatively few errors in selecting men , and has brought out many of the stars of the day. The univer sal dcsiro is to BOO Frank bacn In Omaha next spring. The base ball publlo have con- lldenco in his ability to give them ns good ball ns can bo had in the country , and his resignation as manager would cause much regret. However , should Mr. Soloo go elsewhere - where Tun Hiu : unites with his other hosts ot friends in wishing him most abundant success. MiscclIniicotiH Ijocnl Sports.

At the time of his death Palno was tilling an engagement at the "Folios Bcrgeros , where ho bad been shooting before a largo nudlonco for three weeks.

Field , says the Minneapolis Journal , lias just returned from Denver , where ho loarno'I ' the secret of the marvelous success ot the Omaha base ball club. Some months azo ; a Denver lud , named Willie Ivers , climbed to the top of tbo eight-story block known ns the Railroad building , nnd foil off. Down , down ho went like a. bundle of old clothes thrown out of n tenement house window. Straight down tumbled Willie's small body until it struck a network of telephone - phone wires two or throe stories from the ground. Then It bounded oft the wires and went thumping down upon the back of a horse that was passing In the street. A dozen horrified bystanders rushed out to pink up Willie's mangled remains. But Willie wasn't dead. Ho wasn't even badly hurt only somewhat bruised by his fall of eight stories. Soon after Willlo's ndvonturo the Omaha club was in Denver , and , hearing the story , Manager Soleo at once signed Willie as a mascot. Willie is still with the Omaha club , and Is said to win moro games than nine husky men , J. W. Field has evi dently been played for a siickor. The Omaha team never heard of Willie , and take no stock in mascots of any description. I'Yoni the Diamond. Ed. Sllch Is no longer with the Donvcrs , Ho has been signed by Milwaukee.

There is n universal desire to sco Frank If Solco at tbo Imad of Omaha's team again V next year , but the chances are that ho will go to Boston. Patsoy Oliver Toboau is rapidly climbing to the front as the League's star third baso- man.
