THE FALL SPORTING SEASON.
AVhccl Notes Dnins * of

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.

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.

Moonlight evenings , smooth roads and cool ,
bracing ntmosphcro make a delightful com

pleasant excursions were enjoyed last week
by both Indies and gentlemen.

The O matin wheel club Is the recipient of
ten handsomely bound voluinns of Ontlng ,
presented by C. M. Woodman , n former presi
dent of the club , who Is nnwti resident of
Denver , Colo. 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.

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

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.
