Tlio Western Association closed the season
"on Monday last. Financially , it was any
thing but a glittering success , but , us a
whole , about broke oven , There was some
satisfaction in this , but not htilllcieiit to in
fuse much additional enthusiasm within the
ranks of the Western circuit. U hen tha
glad springtime , with her blue birds and
O balmy winds , however , comes again , the old
lever will break out in a more virulent furm
than ever.
Of course , us everybody knows , Omaha
, \von the pennant at a Jog , St. Paul came in
second , Minneapolis third , Sioux City
fourth , Milwaukee llfth , Denver sixth , St.
Joe suvcnth , and Des Molnos last. Early in
the season tlm Apostles Jumped into 'the
lent ) , getting such u start that It looked for a
whllo nn If no ono cjuld ovcrhnul them.
Onmha , though , Ilnally struck her gait , mid
by it long btrulch of inagniilccnt playing
caught up with and passed them , and was
never hcndcd again. There Is no doubt that
the sale of Sawders mid Plckutt
materially crippled the St. Pauls , and Sioux
City lost her chance through sheer bad luck
in the wny of injurci ) players. St. Joe
lacked inamigemeiit and Denver ginger. Mil
waukee was n sere disappointment , wliilo
DCS Molnes ( tut no liguro at any btagu in the
game. St. Joe , DCS Molnos , Sioux City mid
St. Paul all lost money , whllo the other four
clubs mmlo u little , Minneapolis being Iho
only city that cleared anything to speak of ,
'J lie Views of Umpire llur.st.
Tin : HhK's base ball mm rode down from
Sioux City on Tuesday last with Umpire Tlm
Hurst , who was on his way urOmaha for
Die purpose of dr.uvilny the & 10J forfeit ho
had posted liero for n light between Jimmy
Lindsay and Jimmy Mcllalo. Conversation
naturally turned on base ball. Umplro
Hum proved himself well up on the situa
tion , mid In the .course of the talk retailed n
, good ilo-il of information Hint cannot fall in
making interesting reading ,
" 1 1'col much elated , " said ho , "over my
success us.in umpire In the UVutorn associa
tion. I came h ro u i 'rl'cct stranger
iiinong strangers , unit had much misgiv

prise I met , not only In Denver , but all the
Western tisiocIuUnn clile . They arc truly
tlitf best iichavod base ball midioncesiu the
country , and put to slmmo thu vaunted
chivalry of the south. I oxpuricnrod llttlo
or no trouble with the players or news
paper report ois aflcr they came to know me ,
notwithstanding the stories thutomemiteit
from SI Paul and Minneapolis , that 1 xvns In
constant hot water with thu hitter class ,
Several times certain Pkuera undertook to

meant business , and If necessary would moot
tluiji ) after the game , and it was not long
rro they nil learned to ivspoct me and I nude
friends ol the whola association ,
"Uut 1 tell you the umpire' * position Is an
unenviable one , mid the only way for such
un ofllclal to gel along U always
to do thu right thing. Homo umpiring and
partiality to certain players Is one of the or
dluurv umpire' * troatcU bhorlcouilnga , u d
I wasn't Jong in learning that unqualified
fuirnusn uiul honesty was my greatest safe
guard. From the Haltering encomiums I
have received from authoritative sources , I
feel canlident that I have m.ulo a good im
pression , which H as much to mo as my sal
ary , it not more. I know my voice Is not
exactly what it should bo-not strong mid
clear enough but in another.year 1 hope to
remedy this fault.
" I imvo been approached about going onto
the American association stall' next year ,
anil , of course , would * like to. as it Is un ad
vancement that cannot .bo denied ; but I
don't know wh.it my real chances ure.
"Wiuit do 1 think of tho" Western nssocia-
lieu ? Well , I have only praise for this body.
It certainly stands next to tliu American
association in point of imiiartanco. It , has
the best , players uml the most of them , and ,
in time , when the different managements
nro schooled up through experience to a
nicer appreciation of the requirements of
perfect SUUC034 , and in the ethics of the
sport , it will branch out on an equal
looting with the major organisation just men
tioned. Just now it seems to bo run on a serb
of a catch ds-cutch-can policy , but is round
ing to gracefully , and in time will be a thor
oughly balanced machine in all Its compo
nent parts. In tlio wst here , base ball seems
to bu looked upon too much ns a sort of n
slde-pastlmo , uml not < is n solid , legitimate
business enterprise , demanding the llncstof
executive and administrative ability in its
conduct. This feature , however , will Do
wholly eliminated when tno game go'.s on n
paying basis , and the stockholders rcali/o
that there is revenue in it proportionately to
any other respectable business. Just now
tlio minor leagues ure too much of a prepara
tory school for the older bodies , made Inevit
able bv tlio pernicious sales system , and the
arbitrary manner in which all tlio laws and
regulations governing thosn institutions are
conducted , The older bodies execute all this
work , mid , it scums , look too much to their
own und.s. Still there are able and honorable
men at the head ot base ball nrtalrs in this
country , and their legislation , everything
considered , may be Hie very best
thing fur tha minor leagues in tha
long run , The parent should handle
mid teach and guide the child , and not tlio
child the parent. The Western association ,
of till the minor organizations , has a future
Its llvo , growing , prosperous , hustling
cities niukos this nn absolute certainty , and
It will In time wield as much Influence and
power In ihu alt'alrs of tbo diamond as cither
the older bodioa. "
Milwaukee. ' * * Norve.
Milwaukee Is exhibiting u good deal of
gall lu demanding thut the November meetIng -
Ing of tha Western association ba held in
that city , and the writer assumes the res
ponsibility of informing her that she don't
stind any more chance of such a concession
being shown her than that snowllako that
so much 1ms boon said about , In faot , Mil
waukee Is the lust , city m the Western asso
ciation that should ask suoli a favor , consid
ering her present uttltudu , and the constant
contention kept up uy her sap headed secre

fcorot that Milwaukee would
Jump the Western association
at ttio first opportunity. She labor * uudcr

and If they would lot down the baih nho

of old ball players this season. Sutton ,

Cllno , Pliclin , M.iskroy and Traftley all came
over In tlm May/lower. /
Tlio most errutio twirler in the Western

Among the crack ball players brought Into

with Dave Ilowo's Denver club. His work
In tlio Western league was Ilrst-class ; in
fact , ho played the game of his life. Ho
caught seventy-live games. Ho returned
homo before the season closed on account of
the arrival of a little boy at his Jiroside.
Tom is looking well ,
Brooklyn Is at last reasonably sure of the
American association pennant , but the St.

prominent candidates again for llrst honors.

Ol all now clubs that have entered in a
championship race , Omuha undoubtedly
ranks ut tlio top of thu list. The team that
represented this city the season just closed
was practically a nuw club. Now clubs have
made line records in Iho older organl/.at Ions
before this , hut none can ho recalled that
surpasses Omaha's achievement. Tlio team
was wholly an untried one , HO far as tlio
majority of its meintjcrs wcro concerned ,
yet they won tlio championship with com
parative case. This was greatly due to good
management , and the perfect harmony that
existed in the team tliroiigliout the season ,
