SPORTS OF EARLY AUTUMN , Prime Causes of the Wtstera Association's Kocky Season. iVHISPERINGS FROM THE WHEEL. Amateur Gossip Autumnal Tournaments Hltti , Kumbloi anil Muffs Miscellaneous Obscriandu. 'Hie fog end of the western association sea son for 1SOO has been reached , and a sigh of relief arises from the arm ; of cranks that still remains. They are glad the season is over from the simple fact that it has been the rokiest , most unsatisfactory anil unonthusl- astic season within the history of the came , from the start to finish affairs haie been in , a chaotic condition In this association , which status of things is mainly attribablo to the ar bitrary action of the Milwaukee club before the placing season opened , In peremptorially refusing to put us their guarantee that they would play the season out. This induced 1'resldent McOor- fwUh to return to each of the other clubs I.heir chocks , and tnaf\ital requirement be- aurs u deud letter. This created a feeling of distrust throughout the circuit , and its ef fects have been forciblj felt all through the campaign. JIMilwaukee , tbolargest city in the ciruiit , lacked couOdcnoa in tlio stability of the association-what could bo expected from the less fa\oredand smaller cities * They looked upon It , of course , as a sort of liit-or-niiss affair , and went into it determined not to o\inco surprise if they inadfl aware house full of moiicv or all pot killed before the season closed It inado no difference which , they were all in the same boat with the \Vlsoonsln llrewers , and would sinker or swim together , and nobody would be re- sixmsiblo. Tims each club conducted its affairs throuchout the summer as it pleased , with out reference to any board of dlrettors , presi dent , secretary or other officials. Dave Howe , Sam Morton , Macullar , Little Quin , and all the rest of the pmlous outfit , had as much to say as the president , and often times a good deal more. Their word was as potent as hu , and the consequence was that ofllciul notlncation amounted to absolutely nothing , eaih club did as it saw proper any- L way. This In n great measure was the cause of ftie w oef ul paucitrof spectator ! , during th season , as well as the ramshackle , uncertain and childish management that has marked the entire season's. , \ \ ork.Vhat should ha\e been aone , was the call ing of n meeting , and the expulsion of Milwaukee bans ccremonle. I3ut there's llttlo use to grow lachrymose over spilled milk. The Western aisooiatlou has hod a les- ton that should cut a mighty big figure la the proceedings uf the next annual meeting.

'What the outcome for Lincoln will be it is hard to gay , but 0t t looks as II they -would get out alUo. The race lias narrowed down to three teams , with the iirosnocti for about this tiulsb : Kansas City. Minneapolis and Mil waukee. Denver \ \ ill cling to fourth place , Bioux City tilth , but the sixth is still In doubt , with the chances in favor of Lincoln , and Omaha seventh and SU Paul last.

Milwaukee's A\\ful Threat. Tbo Milwaukee magnates , now that their team is skating backwards , are en ing out of the other side of their rnoitUs They claim they have made no money , and express a desire - sire to get rid of their club and franchise.

A Casual Obscrtation or Two. Already President McCorini'ck has begun to gather the nucleus for next year's team. \Vcrtz , the craik young outfielder , u the last acquisition. There w ill bo many new faces on the team iiei * year , as McCormick don't like a number of the faces on it at present Dan Honin says the Omabas ought to take third place yet , that they are great finishers and after tnev get done losing the11 win every game , There is nothing the matter w ith Dan , he's only crazy ! Jimmy Cannavan Isn't ' , playing Just now. ho got a bad leg In a i > ole contest lost winter and the old lameness bus returned , thorough ly Incapacitating him. The snow will soon begin to fly and the ball platers' vucition will ihoitly boo\er. Ho must get down to honest uorJros soon as Old Crimp shows his face. ' * " " Hoover and DonaUue of the Kansas Citys. the\ say , are clever variety comedians , anc that the ) will do a "double turn" this win ter. Pooh' that's nothing , there are about six cle\er variety comedians ou the Omaha team. You ought to see them in that side splitting farce culled the national game they are enough to nuke adotheborbO laugh Thev will do -'sextuple turn"in about three weeks. The Last oftlic Molilcnm. Two weeks more and the baseball season of IS'.K ) so fur as Omaha is concerned will bo over , There will bo but eight more games plaje-1 at the local park , tbreo with .Milwaukee on next Tuesday , Wednesday and Thursda ) : two with Lincoln , Saturda ; and Sunday , the SOth and 21st , and thro with St. Jt'aul , on tno 27th. list h and 30th , Tbo three games that wcro scheduled here with Minneapolis have been transferred ho latter season for reasons that are obvi ous to even a blind man. AMiat The ) Snj in the Grand Stand. Billy Alvord , DCS Moines1 old third base man , leads the Toledo club with the stick. Us average is .809. Jake Becklev , St. Joe's old first baseman , s the bifrgest batter In the brotherhood , and he can also "blow 'em ' off" about as fa t.1. Charlie Genins of the Corn Buskers has undoubtedly struck his gait at short. But ew in the country are eiielliug his \ \ ork ust now. "Ducky" Hemp , after being1 fired from divers teams over the countr.i , is now guard- ng the sweet-potato bushes in center garden "or Lincoln. Little Nicol is not astounding the natives iy his short stop talent. How ever , the Cow- jews have been winning ever since he Joined bem , and that ought to be satisfaction enough. Patsey Bolivar Tebeau , who was with Omaha in ISsS , is about the most heartily bated ball plaver in Cleeland. . Another ex emplification of the old saving that you can't make a silk pur o out of a hog's ear. Omaha pave Kansas City several terrible tails , during the neck past. Ouch ! Sporting Times. If thev did it must ha\e been dur ing the night after tbo saloons bad closed , for nobody west of the Mississippi overheard of them. "Chlppoj" McGp.rr still continues toelec- trif v all the old-timers down in Bean Town by his phenomenal third base play. "Chip- pey" is "com-pee-tcut , " as he used to put it atTomXagle when they were playing to gether here. Tommy Kearns has been released and out fielder Wertz of the Evansvilles signed in his place. There are few harder workers than Kearns , but his hitting of late has boon lamentably weak , and he was lei out on that account alone. Minneapolis will not bo seen in Omaha again this season. The games scheduled w ith Hurst's team for the aid. 2)th ) and > th have been transferred to Minneapolis The poor attendance here induced the manage ment to make the transfer. Oney Patton is still In the hospital at Lin coln. He tried to coax the whole Omaha team in with him when they were down there last week , but they said the had to ha\e the Milwaukee guarantees for laundry money , so they took a cattle-car and went up there. Milwaukee refused to accept $100 a game or 75 per cent of the gate receipts to transfer to this cit.v the thruo games to be pla\cd be tween Milwaukee and the Blues at Mil waukee. Yet the receipts at the homo of the Brewers in a game with Sioux Cltv last week amounted to only SJO. Kansas City Times. And still the Brewers want to join thoAmer- lean association , they are such a card , Among tlie Amateurs. The Museos play In Fremont today. In Palmer , Fremont has a great catcher , Dick McAuliffe has signed with the Cranes. The Blairs will ha\e new grounds for next jear. Perclvol has been released from the Xon < panels.

Dan Llnahan will catch for Blair the bal ance of the season. Stevenson will finish the season with tno Models of Council Bluffs. "Wally Andrews will probably play with the Museeb nt Fremont today. The Crane company team will plav in Missouri Valley this afternoon. McAullffo is putting up a good game at second end base for the Crane company , Blair needs a rood second baseman. Why not try McAuliffe or Patterson. Carrncllo and Qulnlan , battery for the Diamonds , are doing good work. Look out lor Spud F&rrish's crack SU Louis battery for next' season. Knock again. , The Prospect Hills havoa coming pitcher n "Kid" Miller. He baa preat speed. The Models of Council Bluffs ha\o lost hree straight games to tbo Blair team. In a recent game at O'Neill , Neb. , Pitcher rirarny Hart struck out twenty-one men. Fiannaean of the Musees will-leave for his Wilmington , Del , in a few weeks. Tan Arnam is still covering short for the Edea-Musees and is improving right along The Cranes will trvto arrnneo a game -with .ho Omahas before the c e of the season. Patterson nnd Uorgrecn , formerlv of the Steams , are now plaIng with tbo Diamonds. The Loup Citv battery was the winning Datttry In the Grand Island-Kearney series. Bowman will cover first base and Butler eft field for the Fort Omaha team in toda ) 's game. Any club desiring the sen-ices of a peed all around placr should address Dick Mc- iVuhffe. The Nonpariels will have an enclosed grounds next season. Now for ono in the north end. Austin , short stop of Missouri Valley , will probably sign with one of the Pennsylvania league clubs. When the Cnnes play tno Uonpariels they will present their full team for the first time in tw o months. John Patterson is now covering second for tbe Diamonds Pat is the best Litter of any team in Omaha. ' Steve Day , formerly with the Cranes , would like to twirl for some minor league team next season. Van Aernam , recently released from the Muses , would like to play with the Eigh teenth street Stars. The Diamonds will play the Kiebtecnth Street Stars this morning and the Four Cor- nen this afternoon. Beymer and Graver Iwo already receded offers for next season Graver \ \ ould make a good man for Omaha.

BatttrlesGerlack aud Pnrcell , Jellcn and Lace ) Carripanwill go behind the bat regularly for the Crane company team. Ho and Wil liams are a pair hard to beat. Zellars , third-baseman of the Shamrocks , is also quite u pitcher , tnVing out twelve of the Nonpareils In & \ o innings , Monaglmn of the Cranes 1s plaln r left- flcld out of bight and hitting the ball harder than at any time during the season. Hoivthe Shamrocks 'did pound Jellen of the Xonpariels last Suniluy thirty-five hits off of hlin Come , old man , brace up. Mnrtino Nelson of the Cranes plajs a strong steady game and there is not another airia- teurheni of bis inches that is hi it with him. Thoplajersof the disbanded City Steam club would like very much to arrange a game with thu Nonpareils to bj piajod at the ball park. Copcland , pitcher for last year's City Steams , is now at Hamburg , la. Ho would like to get on ono t-f the Xobraskn teams. Ho is a No 1 piuber en gdod fielder. In Llnahan.

ID lost Sunday's game at Fremont ho struck out fourteen men and only allotted two hits off his delivery. n What is the matter with the scribes lately ? Two vi celts have gone by and there has not been a word said about Carripan's kicking propensities It must bo awful galling for the aforesaid to have to produce ahtuo fiver to Limo the same kicker kick for him 1 The Shamrocks would like to meet the Nonpareils on tbo former's grounds , near Metz Bros' , brewery. The Shamrocks claim that the Nonpareils are afraid to play them on these grounds As It was , the game last Sunday was barely won by the Nonpareils on their own grounds. As tbo base ball season Is drawing to a close , the bojs are commencing to figure up their hits and errorless games to be ready to spring it on > ou next winter when jou are pretty near distracted from having tdesnow flakes wafting through your zips , but the roasting some of them will got will keep them warm without the aid of a Benjamin. The Blair team has made a few changes in their team. Linaban is to catch. Tew will cover first , Eussell goes to short and Lee will cover second. Tew puts up a good gam eat first and leads the team at the bat.
