Tbo progressive state of Nebraska boasted
of over thirty base ball teams last season ,
notwithstanding the low ebb public interest
In the gntno had reached. Now , that the
prospects nro flattering for n general revival
of enthusiasm over the great sport , the long
tnlkcd-of state league should bo formed. Th ! §
is nn enterprise advocated in TUB Bun for
three years past , and in 1SW It came within an
nco of nmtcrlnllzliig. Thcro nro ton or twelve
extra good ball teams in the state , nnd thcro
Js no reason why a paying lenguo should not
bo organized from this numbor. Such cities
as Fremont , Grand Island.Kenrnoy , Hastings ,
York , Nebraska City , Beatrice , and others
that could be mentioned should bestir themselves -
solves in the Interests of such a move.
Good teams can bo secured at llttlo
cost the coming season , ns the woods
will be full of pluvcrs anxious for n position
with any kind of a team. Such a league
would awaken the intcnscst rivalry and af
ford thcso cities the summer luxury of good
base ball. Tun Brns will gladly lend nny as
sistance within Its power to advance the
cause of a state or inter-state league.
TIio Downfall of Harries.
John S , Barnes , the ox-prize lighter , who
kept the Western association hanging on the
ropes during bis connections with the St.
Pauls , Is In trouble out at Spokauo been
giving somebody the double-cross again , that's
nil. Speaking about eliminating bums nnd
hoodlums in tbo far nor'wcst , they would do
well to bciln ; with their managers.
Say I You never heard about bow Barnes
cleaned out the Omaha baseball management
in l&W & , did youl Well , It shall bo short.
About the middle of the season , ono after
noon during the progress of a game ,
ho got Into a dispute with Man
ager Sclco over some special arrange
ment about n division of the receipts. Hn
became very abusive , and In tbo presence o a
largo audience , heaped the vilest epithets hi
Solco's head , but Frank was a gcntlenun ,
nnd after Informing the burly prize lighter
that ho would settle with him al the ofllco in
the morning , ho loft him and returned to his
coat on the players' bench.
The next morning Barnes was on hand ,
good nnd solid , nt McCormlck's ' ofllco. Mc-
Cormlck nnd Selco wore also there , nnd so
was Arthur II , , Mr. McConnlck's Appolo-
hkn son-in-law. Barnes , saus ccremonio ,
opened up his bnttcrles in good shape , re
suming his abuse of Manager Sclco and
finally turning on Mr. McCormlck , declaring
bis willingness to reach for his neck , If ho
had anv objections to oiler. Simultaneous
with this bellicose prouunclamcnto a six-foot
flguro loomed up llko a specter from behind
the ofllcn desk , nn arm Hue u piston-rod shot
straight out from Ijio shoulder , and the pret
tiest bunch of fives you over saw wont up
against the St. Paul manager's mouth like
the kick of a mule. Ho went over the spittoon
teen backwards , tbo back of bis head making
a dent in tbo cured oak Mooring that is to bo
seen there to this day.
That's all.
After that , when the Apostles carao to
Omaha , Mr. Barnes was consnicuous by his
absence. Ho is no bog , and knows when
bo's got enough.

The so-called correspondents of tno St.

Sporting Life make up their letters bodily
from matter stolen from the SUNDAY BIE. :
They don't even have the decency to rowrita
the matter.
Managers Harrington and Watklns of Min
neapolis aud St. Paul both bcoruln the rustle.
Shortstop Shug.irt's engagement by Har
rington is a good ono , and Watkins Is getting
a cluster of youngsters nbout him who may
prove oyo-openers 'long "bout Juno.
Omaha and Milwaukee are bavin ? a wordy
scrap over their comparative merits as ball
towns. Kansns City Times. That's the first
wo have heard of it hero In Omaha. If Mil
waukee isn't u better hall town than Omaha ,
the Lord help Milwaukee , that's all.
Kansas City , St. Paul nnd Milwaukee hnvo
lines out for Short Stop Cllngman of the Cln-
clnatl club reserved by the league. Ho has
been held by the latter body despite the fact
that ho was ofllclally given his release by
the secretary of the Cincinnati club on Octo
ber 4.
Manager Jim Powell of Sioux City and
Billy Brennnn have purchased the saloon at
2-15 First avenue , south of S. J. Hichardson.
If the venture proves successful it is not llko-
ly that Powell will hold aown the initial sack
for the braves next season. Ho would give
coiuildcrablo to be released to Minneapolis.
Manager Watkius has engaged Ford , a
southpaw twirlcr who was with Columbus
and Brooklyn lost season , and Brown , a
catcher who caught for Saginnw , In the In
ternational league. "Watty" intends to have
enough catchers next season. Ho has only
four signed already Brown , Urquahart ,
Trost and McMahon.

retired from the management of the Seattle
baseball team to accept n lucrative position
with the Itushnell lee Machine company ol

to fill the onico of secretary and treasurer ol
the Pacific Northwest league , to which posi
tion ho was recently elected.
All talk nbout St. Louis and Chicago being
taken into the Western association next sofr
son Is tbo veriest rot. The Western associa
tion had a bollyfull of these tillages In 18S7 ,
Neither club took in enough money to pay the
wages of the ground keeper , und at the end ol
the season the players' averages were tnad (
up from the city market reports.
Jock Pickott Is In a pretty hard row ol
stumps. Ono of the best baseball lawyers Ir
the United States says ho belongs to Kansas
City and must como hero unless released bj
the Kansas City club. Plckett cost Kansas
City about 83,000. All tbo city got out of hhr
was a few months of miserable playing ant
fbOO to dismiss Injunction proceedings. Then
5 is still something coming1 to the club.
Some people never will learn by expert

place a team in Cnlcago. Has the fate of th <
Ill-starred Maroons of a couple of years ai > <

Any tcam in the Indoor league that thinks
It has a walk-away for championship honors
is politely off , as the pitcher Is ono of the
least factors in the game. The tcam that
displays the most agility Is the team to bank

than In the old game , the bases are so close
that by n player inoroly pausing the runner
is liable to beat the ball to first baso.
