i The Western association should got a move
i on herself and ai once map out Its future
policy. If she expects representation In the
I ' front rankof baseball organizations she wonts
to do a little hustling. The pold-lined opportunity -
i tunity is here and the occidental moguls
should not overlook it , The principal dlftl
cully with the Western association has alI -
I > . ways been her diffidence about asserting her
self , and the underrating of her strength and
, Importance. She has always been handi
capped by the attitude of her principal
cities , which bavo seemingly had the inter-
cats of the National league and Amer
ican association at heart , rather than those of
their own circuit , and regularly about oneoa _
month throughout the scntion they bid for a
place In ouo of the older boales , or Idiotically
threaten to Jump. This keeps the whole ns
Boclntlon In a state of uncertainty , detracts
from the Interest of Its championship race ,
and weakens It materially in every way ,
There may bo a change now with KrauthoTl
' J of Kansns City in the president's chair , and
the Western association may bo vested ulth
some stability and Importance , If It isn't It
Is all day with the sport in most of the cities
In the circuit. It would secra thai
Kansas City and Milwaukee had
had an elegant sufficiency of National league
and American association experience , aud
that they would hereafter lend their best
efforts in building up a major organization of
their own. When with the older bodies
these two cities wcro inero makeshifts , torn- '
porary representatives to brldgo over some
uncertain era , and 1111 in for the emergency.
When Kansas City , Omaha , Minneapolis. St.
Paul and Milwaukee resolve to stand by
each other through thick and thin , and work
In unison with a slnglo object In view , then ,
and only then , will the west see an organl/a-
tlon commensurate iu importauco and power

ThoAiimtenr Championship.
. From the following statistics , It would
* " naturally scorn that the Crane Co. team holds
the anmlouf championship of this city un
questionably. They played twonty-ono
gameswinning thirteen , loslnc six and tlclng
two , a record which nouo of the other city
teams can boast. Of thcso games eight wcro
won outside the city and two lost outside ,
four lost la the city and flvo won , and a tie
game plnyod both in and out of the city. The
two games lost to the City Steams were both
plnyod before the Crones \vero fully organized ,
while the Steams won ) iu their strongest
/form. The Cranes hnd the first game won
up to the lust half of the ninth inning by a
scoru of 4 to U when a wrong decision by
Andy Cnslck , who was umpiring , allowed
them to tlo the score and win the game ia the
eleventh Inning. Cuslck afterward admitted
nls mistnko and said that had he given his
decision u second consideration it would bare
reversed the gamu. The Cranes afterward
made two games-\vlth the City Steams , but
the Steams backed out , saying thai they
would rather let their reputation stand as ft
wus. They disbanded In July ,
Of the two games played with the Non
pareils , each club won ono. The Cranes then
put up a forfeit of f-1 for a game for $50 a
'sldo and tbo championship of Omaha , whluh
the NouparelU refilled to cover , aud which ,
after standing two weeks , was taken down.
This would not seem that the Nonpareils
were In it to any great extent , but if they
still think they are , the Cranes will post $100
forfeit with the sporting editor of TUB BKE
for a game early in the spring , each team to
play precisely the same men ns when the two
clubs lest mot. Thcso nro the only two teams
claiming the championship , and the above
would bu the best way to settle it. Appended
will bo found the season's record of the
Cranes , Steams and Nonpareils , as correctly
as I have been enabled to get them at this
late dato. JACK CAIUUO AN ,

A letter to the sporting editor from J , W.
Hearn , wlthDelgado & Co. Now Orleans , una
the cx-vico president of the Southern league ,
closes with the following paragraph :
"Did you say brotherboodl The fragments
of that mushroom organization and busted
big heads are to bo found everywhere. I am
glad , for It will wipe out some of the old fos
sils the sporting world had tired of years ago ,
and what Is loft of the game of baseball will
bo much bettor off on account of their miser
able failure. "

Van Horn of Denver reports that ho has

"Prank Seeloy is after PiUsy Bolivar To-
beau , and as Cleveland isn'tvory badly stuck
on Patsy's Irclnnd-must-bo-freo face , it ia
quito probable that ho will bo found perched
on Boston's third next season.
Count FnRlu , anent his prospocttvo rolcaso
by the Omaha club , says ho Isn't particular
whether ho plays at all next season. A great
many of the cranks who saw him hero last
season are equally indifferent.
Manager Dave Howe Is nftor Jnck Dolan.
As soon as ho learned the awful trnth , Jacu
borrowed a Macintosh , and whou last seen
ho was beating Harry Sto'voy's tlmo sprinV

Cushtnan elves it out cold that if D.ilrym-
pie and Pcttft nro re-signed It will not bo at
the figures they received last season. Old
Abnor is decaying fast and Pottit isn't any-
hing like the man ho Is cracked up to bo.
Little Macullar has boon released by
Lincoln nt bis own request , It is said. Mac
is an old-timer , ono of the first winners of
the American association championship , but
his playlntf days are not over yet by any
means.
Knoll , who will bo returned to Omnha In
the .spring , was unquestionably the best
' 'south-paw" twlrlor with the brotherhood
list season. Ho won twcnty-ouo games out
of thirty-ouo pitched , giving him a percent
age of , CT1.
The dny of big salaries of the Clarkson-
laruthers-Kelluy-EwIng kind , has evidently
vanished , except in rare Instances. Minor
leagues , for the first tlmo in their history ,
will probably bo conducted on the right llncs >
next season.
Owing to the fact that everybody Is wait
ing , personal Imsobull gossip is becoming a
scarce commodity. Managers are going slow
about signing men , and it would bu foolhardy
to speuk ot the probable make-up of any par
ticular team.
Paddy Welch is to bo given the run by
Milwaukee , along with big , Inllammatory-
hcnded Morrlssoy. Some of the cranks up
there nro also clamoring for Gus Alberts'
scalp , notwithstanding Alberts Is about the
best man on the team.
Thornton of the Alllwnukocs very much
regrets having jumped over to the Pee Iat
the close of last season , und Is now anxious
to get back with the lirowcrs ut his old sala
ry. As this yoang man was greatly overrat
ed anyway , Milwaukee will In all likelihood
accord him the treatment ho deserves.
Llncol Call : * Dave Howe will return to the
city today and this will bo his homo hence
forth. Lincoln welcomes him hack again
end will give him first-class patronage if ho
glvos us eood ball. As Dave has hU war
paint on it is needless to say thut ho will
give Lincoln a winning club next year. His
brother. Jack Howe , of Buffalo , will in , nll
probability play at Lincoln's short field next
joar.
The Kansas City papers talk as If the Cow
boys hnd a claim on slippery Plckottbut this
Is not the case. The 1'hlladelphla brother
hood settled with Kansas City for tha deserter -
sorter and ho Is now as free as the balmy air
of Alaska. The Plckotts and the Mulvoys
should not bo allowed to crowd out any hou-
cstball player , no mutter how Inferior bo
may bo.
Nearly every great dalljf Journal In the
country has editorially rejoiced that the war
is over , and there seems to bo a widespread
idea that the game will at once bo restored
to its old rank In the public's favor. Says
the Chicago Herald most truly : "At its boil
professional baseball taxes the local prldo ol
Its patrons to Its utmost. As It was pre
sented last year It lost this feature and , in
losing that , lost all. "
The president of the Milwaukee club says
ho has given Manager Cushumu positive or
ders to sign no men , as the "woods will bo
full of them" before long , on account of the
collapse of the brotherhood , and the salary
list of tbo Mllwaukccs for 1H91 will not bo
nearly as largo as it was ia 1600. Pitcher
