AVhccl Notes Dnins * of tlio AimiUMii'S The Turf and Kin K SllHcel Inn con H Tlio annual uicctliiK of the Western base- bull nssociatlon , wlilch was called for Octo ber 'i ' ! ixiul postponed to November 1 , on ac count of the LcaKUC-llrotherhooil confcrciu-o , will be hold at tlio MlllnrJhotel toilny. Thcio \vill umloulitciUy be n largo attendance and a vury linportant nnil Interesting incotini , ' . Atiioni ; the many momentous matters th.it will nriso is the plan for n division of tlio jjute ifceiiits. During the past sea- BOU tlio Kiiiu'lt-o | system was in VOKUC , but It wus found to be dccldrdly unsatisfactory to ill' ' clubs but thatwoor three which went to the fi-ont nnd intule inonuy. Conseijiiontly u huril kick will l > o iniulo.iiKuiiist thu rcndoptlon of this HJS- toin for next season , and u strenuous effort lint fortli In favor of tlio percentage plan. ThK latter is uniiucstlotmuly the ono tliat will uccriio to the benolltof nil tlio clubs and the association itseli , It is the plan that In sures the weaker t'itles a clianco to subsist , and makes nil oven thing for each club , tlio btioiiK nnd \\enkulikt' , wlillo tlio guarnn- tco plan is nltoncther tnsuftldont nud unjust to tlio dub.s who arose nnfortnnuto ustodiop to thu rt'ar ill an early ( Into in the champion ship clmso. Of courbo Kansas Ulty , which wus probably the only team in the country to iniiko money durini ; the last f. u.on , will light the iK-rcenliiKO plan tooth ami too-null , ami It Is not unlikely hhc will ho aided and abetted in this by both Minneapolis and Mll- wimkco , although the latter management had a good tastoof empty benches at their own iinrlc during the latter part ot the season. Vet they labor under the hallucination that their team will prove the stroiiRcst in the race another year , and ronsrcjui'iitly great dniwinu card , unit tlio jioivfntUKO plan will bo prood enough for them. The same can bo sulil ot MlnnoiK | > lis. Hut Uinoha , Lincoln , St , 1'anl and Denver ivlll most pwhahly fiivor the col reel sy&tiMii , which Is the pera-ntago , and if they have any sand , nma or mush in their ri-ops , they'll carry their point. In stnigKlliiK minor leagues tlio tiorcentugo system Is the only one which carrieH with It the chances of eilstonco throughout the season for nil clubs uhkc. All statements with rufcronca to next year's circuit would only ho KUCSS vorlf. RO thnt subject will ho but mcngroly troutetl in Ihcsu eolnmns. The likelihood Is that the circuit will reniidn exactly as it Is , with the exception of the Installincntof Grand Rapids. Mich. , in Hlonx City's place. And this , ttio honest contusion must ho made , looks to n man up n trcoltko jumphic : from the frying-pan Into the tiro. Grand liaplds will never last the season through , especially If tl.o guarantee njbtom alioulit again prevail. The assoolutlon's whole code of rules will Vie revised and amended , particularly these touching upon the powers of selection and uipoiiitmont | of umpires , Last season's cx- Ijcrlenco In this rcpinl was enough to glvo the most ImperturbuUlo crank the horrors. 1'rovlslom for an honest , competent nnd're- ] > octahlo corps of umpires U imperative. The election of oftlcers for the coming year vill bo held tit the association's meetliiK this afternoon , and whllo the prosltlcncv will ho easily unu harmoniously disposed of , tlio tight for the secretaryship will bo a hot nnd vigor- Otis ono. J. y. MiCormlck , who has been the orgunl- zatlon's chief mnglstrate during the petit yoiii'i positively refuses to uguln bo a candi date. Ilo declares that ho has bad an elegant sulllclenoy of the honors that position 'ittulU. and tlmt &lr. Knmtlmuff or uy other man who wants It Is wclconio to It. IIV H'H'li ' of MlnncaiwlU , and Kd O.Urai dt if tlils city , will make the race for the tooro- arvbhlp , and the association couldn't to nicer thinp : tliim award the honor to Mr. lirandt. Ho h\s boon an industrious worker in the Interests of this body for the past three years , has spent his time and money without n dollar's reward , and has ever been ready to further thu interests of the game in any man ner within hts power. Ilo is eminently qual ified for tno position too , n line accountant , well \ erscd in baseball lore , a good Judge of u player or an umpire , active , tireless andron- sclontlons , just the sort of a man to attend to the affairs of this ofllce in a thorough busi ness like way. Like Kruiithauff for the pres idency , no man can ho found who is better lilted for the secretaryship than Mr. Brandt. One moro tiling this association should at tend to nt this meeting without fail , and thnt Is to take some action on the niattor of paying tribute to the National league and American association for the protection they uro supported to reecho bv being u party to the national aercemont. This Is and nlways has boon a nigh-handed outrage on the west ern association , nn association which stood tlio past season , second In. point o ( wealth , strength and general Importance , to the Na tional league only. That the Atncilcnn Is in a position to exact any sort of a tribute from the clubs of the Western is a fact that should bo most galling to the suppoitera of these clubs and they should lose no moro tlmo in nsseitlng themselves. If ncecssaiy toabro- paUUhia unfair tax , the Western association should Join forces without further ceremony with the Plnjcrs1 or any other league wlilch will accord to them the fullest privileges and lights that a mutual code Is supposed to bring to all Its members.

Hacb Is a good man , but Brandt still a better ono that is , for this onerous losltlon.

This Is ( | tiito a valuable addi tion to the library and will always bo appre ciated in kind remembrance of the giver. At last the Denver wheelmen are hnppp - they have a bicycle track , Tlio boys out there are lively and enthusiastic , but have been hampered by thu lack of a suitable place to raco. Tlio Denver cyclists' union will , It is hoped , prove u success , so that the grout west may bo properly isnroscntcd in racing mat ten next season. The "road hog" Is out again. This time ho treated n party of cyclers , among whom were n number of ladles , to n sample of brutal driving and a choice selection of Third ward profanity , all because they happened to bo ahead of him nmt did not retreat to the gut ter to allow his hogshlp the whole all cut. If this unlin.il . must run at large lie should nt least bo muz/led. The wheeling season for IhOO Is now rapid ly drawing to a close , nnd it must bo re corded ns one of the most enthusiastic and eventful , so far as Omaha Is concerned , known for many years. The Omaha club has thriven Jllto n cedar of Lebanon , and ap pears to grow morn , and llourlsh with each passing month. In this year they have in stalled themselves In their elegant club house , corner of Seventeenth and Chicago streets , nnd have almost doubled their mem bership. They have had ono biuvpssfnl In door nnd ono outdoor iu < > et , have accumula ted n nice fund In the treasury and nro hanpy. The Apollo club also came Into existence this year , nnd Is another healthy und growing or ganisation. Pcrngo lias built up a big busi ness , nnd his curriculum has turned out many riders , both malq and female. Ko it will bo seen that this pure , stiungth giv ing iiport has had an enviable boom. The clubs are nil busy now proparlntf for mi un usually gay and festive winter. Spurts. The Omaha Sclmtzenverin will continue to hold their weekly shoots at their range at Kuscr's park throughout the winter , The next shoot takes place Friday afternoon next. Hilly Spcncor still claims to bo anxious to meet Loon Lo/ler for a 100 or 1.1 ! ) vard sprint for from $1 < X ) to ii ( ) n Hide. Ililly'says If the match is made it will bo the best man for the money , but a sprinter's word Is only worth so much In old rags or scrap Iron , A. contest between .lack UavH , a local heavy weight who attained usplcndldinputa- tloil by his game tight with the icdonbtnhlo Choyniskt before the California club last spring , and u well known. St. Louis big 'uii. yclept Allen , is the next prohnhlu attraction before the South Omaha nthletlu club. The sporting colter of Tin : lii.t : icturns thanks to Ira I ) . Brougher , Mccrc-tnry of thu American coursing club , for an invitation to attend the llftH mutual running meeting held nt the club's coin-so nt Great llrnd , Kim. , Oc tober tl ! to y.'i Inclusive. Absence In tlin cast prevented earlier acknowledgment of the couitesy. There Is strong talk of a llrst class lovkoy club for Omaha In thu near future , and It Is to bo hoped that the project may bo brought to a successful hsuc. Xo city In the west could butter support a fall nnd spring run ning nnd trotting meet , If thoilovrrs of th < turf would once make up their minds to con- holidato and make the venture. St. Paul Minneapolis and Kansas City all have llour ishlng clubs , and thcjo cities are nil smaller than Omaha. Frank Parmnleo's recent victory over Charlie Dudd m.iv lead to a match between him and J. A. H. Jllhottof Kansas C'itj , who Is undoubtedly the champion wing shot vl S America. Bndd's dolcat points I'lnplmtically' to the fact that thu genial Charlie' . , skill Is on the wane , or Parnialeo's growing greater , ono or tno other. Budd has defeated all the best shots In the country in the past , mid ntono tlmo htood pre-eminently tlio best wing. shot in the world , but during tlio past two years - . his defeats have outnumbered his victories , * nnd many of them by unknown and ordinary shots nt that. Klliott has rushed to the front like a whlthvind , and every crack that has met him , east or west , within the past twelve-month has gene down with hardly a struggle. Klliott first got on ( o hh great form whllo attending a tournament in this city about n year ago , when ho mndo Parmcleo , Petty , drawer und all the local champions take to the bush. Should ho and PaniH'leo arrange n match it will bo ono that will attract national attention , as the Kansas City man is looked upon as a sort of pheno menon by trap shots all over the country. The writer witnessed thu $1,000 shoot be tween IClllottnud Edgar G. Murphvof Long Hr.iiicli , N. J. , at Hollywood , N. . ) , . on the yoth Inst. , when the former vanquished thu eastern crack by a suoto of ! ( t to bS live pigeons out of 10. ) . Kllintt trul llvo birds dro dead out of bounds , but nfter hn had virtual ly won thi ) niatulfhnd the Dots of his fnamlt wcro safe. If Panneleo can ba.\t htm ho will put a bigger plnmo in hU hat than he ovcrdrcninoiloC buloro , and it is , no odds on Klliott if tlio race is ever shot. Question * anil AIINWOTH.
