The article In last Sunday's Ilrr. tduchlnp
upon ttic probiililo change In the circuit of
tlio Western association , created n lively sen
sation In the bnll circles of Indianapolis , Toledo -
ledo nml Detroit. The dally press ol nil
three of tlicso cities reproduced TUB Br.r.'s '
article , and followed It with editorial exhor
tation and co'iitnent. They nro unanimous
on the tioad that l > y the Incluiloii of these
three cltlijs the Western nuocintlnn would nt
o.ico bo olcvutctl to the Importance of the
Aincrlcnii imoclntlon.lf not the League Itself.
In speaking oftho Uiniiha IJii's : ; urtlelo the
Toledo Heo of Tunsday had this tosiiy cdl-
loritiliy : The Omnlm sohemo Is onothntir
successfully cnrrlcd out will ninko one of tlio
most profitable circuits in this country. "With
these growliif ? , bustlhifr cities of ' the -vest
ndiled to Tale-Jo , Detroit anil Iiu'tliiimpolis ,
n circuit could bo formed such us would
almost certainly Insure clubs in any of the
cities ntfiilust loss. Tlio Jumps would not bo
so lout ; us in thi ) American , and the quality
of bnll would be nearly ciml | to Unit put up
In that oranlzHtion. ( If Toledo was to
enter tlio Western association at this time ,
there is every reason to believe Unit It would
bo u wise inovo. There is a chaitco to enter
mid if Toledo people nro awnfco and really
desire to Iteep baseball RoltiK in this citythey
can assuredly secure a berth in tlio healthy
Western.
Now Is the Umo to act if anything Is to bo
done In tlionmttcr.
Wednesday's Heo of Toledo , In addition to
n column article ou the subject- con tallied the
following :
The publication in the Heo yesterday oftho
chance offered to Toledo to enter the West
ern association fronted great excitement on
the streets among tlio gentlemen who liavo
M ) far upheld the iiiitlounl sport In this city.
The concensus of opinion seems to be that if
there lo any chiinco to tfot Into the Western
no timoshoulil ho lost.
A meeting of those Interested will bp held
ntthoi'rc's club rooms on Superior street
Thursday nlcht next , All those who dcslro
to HOD baseball In Toledo this summer will
nleiiso attend and assist in pushing the pres
ent Hchorno to u successful culmination. Alut-
tcrs of interact will ho discussed and a full
attendance Is requested.
Tlio Indianapolis pcoplo have also taken
the matter up in o'lrnost. The Sentinel yes
terday said :
Tin : OMAHA Hi'.i : hns it that Milwaukee ,
Toledo , Indianapolis and Detroit in the north
and cast , and Minneapolis , St. Paul , Omaha
nml Kansas City in the west will make up
tlio bnll circuit in the Western association.
Denver will HUrly bo dropped on account of
the long jump , and there is little likelihood
that Lincoln , Grand Rapids or Sioux City
will recelvo any consideration In making up
the circuit for the coining year. Till" cir
cuit would bo a strong one and n mouoy
maker. Indianapolis Is in lino.
The Detroit Free Press says : The schcmo ,
proposed by Tin : OMAHA ltii : : ropinllng De
troit's plndntr n club in the Western associa
tion Is n very sensible one , and will bo In
dorsed by nine-tenths of the baseball patrons
In this city. In the Western association wo
would bo In ono class , mid would hold up our
end with the other clubs. Thowestern cities
nro all prosperous and money makers , and
with a little healthy coin petition between the
cities in the eastern circuit , Detroit ought ,
with more careful management than that of
previous years , to make money. Wo have
the necleus of a stroiiR team hero now , and
with but n sllirtit oxoendituro could put n
team in the Held that would malso the west
ern lads hustle. 1'ut a k'ood , live , practical
man at tlio head of the club , and lot It bo con

bers of the club understand'that tfioy musl
earn tholr salaries nml play ball and tlio elul
'will ' stand where It belongs at the end of the
season , and the treasury will not bo empty.
So from the above It will bo soon that the
ball Is In motion in earnest , and that the hlco
lihood of a chmiRO in this circuit is imminent
an real. And what a circuit the ubovo out
would make , to bo sure 1

And this is what Frank Arnold , of Colum

ie a broad grin. Still if Bcortown will jus
wipe her nosoand promlso to behave hereafter
after all will bo forgiven. Mr. Arnold says
"Itrippears that Ylco-I'resident Iversoii"o ,

ho hail been Invited to a fenstnnd found noth

says , by leading League and Association people
plo that a trip to Now York during the ro

Milwaukee Into tlio Association , as It wai
not thought , la candor , that either Chicago o :

Lincoln Western association team , the latter
part of the season nnd it Is said that their
chances for securing him nro good. Their
team this season will be n hummer.
Tlio city league season will bo opened by n
Raino between the Crane company and West
Omaha teams. O my I O my ! how tlio fur
will fly In tint gnme. Carrigan swears that
the Wet Omaha's will not bo in it at all ,
while Patterson says nothing but saws wood.
Harry Gatewood has signed with ono of
the strongest teams in the Interstate league ,
dntewood is superior to some men now play
ing in the "Western association nnu we nope
to see him in faster company , still before the
end of ihe season.
The Ladies' Auxiliary Baseball association
of Missouri Valley gave a reception and ball
Friday evening , January 23 , which was a
great success in every way. The dance pro
gramme consisted of twenty-four numbers
nnd about one hundred nnd liftv couple were
present. The ladies cleared about Sllfi.
The differences that have existed between
the West Omaha management and Homo
Hun Butler having boon settled , it is not at
all unlikely that ho will cover his old position
on the team loft Hold next season. Jnck
Coilv will also bo signed to help out the
pitching department. It is now in order for
"Jonny" to como in out of the wot.
Hither Mr. James Mnhcr or Frank Cnstoter
would make a good manager for the Blair
team. MeClaridc , formerly manager'of the
team , does not dcslro to hold the reins anv
longer , and either of the above gentlemen
would bo a worthy successor. .The natrons of
the game regret to see McClaridgo resign , as
ho lias worked hard and faithfully to keep up
a.KOOtl team.
And not a word is beard Injii'cgard to the
proposed state league. JtscotnsHo have fallen
entirely 'through foV the present , nt least.
There are n couple of towns that have already
organized their teams , and they propose to
play bull , league or no league. What has bc-
comoof the gentleman from Grand Island
that ndvocatcd so strongly for a league i
Wake tfp , let us hear from you again , and
perhaps wo may raise a little enthusiasm on
the subject.
In n game last season at Blair between the
homo team and the City Steams , ono of tlio
cranks in the grand stand remarked as Bow
man stepped up to the plate : "Hero's a
fish. " When immediately after Bowman
picked out one of Wellbaum's beauties nnd
knocked it with such force that it took a
board oil the center Held fence , when ho had
made the circuit of tbo bases , the applause
was deafening. A special car had to be hired
to carry Bowmnn and his head homo.
Missouri Valley Is in favor of a league to
bo composed of two or three Omaha teams.
Blair , Council Bluffs , Missouri Valley and
possibly Fremont. This is rather a good
idea nnd should bo acted upon , Blair is
willing to enter and if a team could bo or
ganized in Council BlnlTs.nlsoono In Fremont
if they are willing to enter , a good circuit
could bo organized for Saturday and Sunday
games only. It Is likely that life Nonpareils.
Crane company and West Omahas would
Join , making three strong teams In Omaha.
They to use the Nonpurlcl grounds , Fifteenth
nnd Vlnton , for the games played here. Wo
would llko to hear from the places mentioned
in regard to the matter , and If ngrccnulo a
meeting can bo called hero aim the movement
gone through with.
And still they come. Another league to bo
formed called the Western Nebraska State
league , to include the following places : Wal
lace , McCoote , North Plntto , Iluhlrego , Coed / -
od , Culbcrtson , Broken Bow and Madrid.
Wallace has already secured a full team ,
namely : Catchers. Cowman nnd 13. Wool-
man ; pitchers , Hill , W. Woolmnn , Klmmel
and CummliiKs ; first base , Hulllnger ; second
base , Shaw ; third base , Mclntyrc ; short stop ,
Drummond ; loft Held , Heath ; center Held ,
Sweet ; right Held , T. Drummond. Shaw is
cnptuin nnd manager of the team. Ho lias
received offers from various Interstate teams
for Hill , Hullingcr , Woodman nnd Drum
mend , but they will all bo retained and the
Wallace pcoplo propose to have the best tnair
in the league.
In n communication from Missouri Valley
they say the baseball association is in n
nourishing condition anil that they will bo in
it this season , and , as last , demonstrate that
"thov are the people. " They are in favor ol
forming u league to bo cotnnobcil of two 01
three Omaha teams , Blair , Council Bluffs ,
Missouri Vallu.v , and possibly Fremont
Their players will be about the snmo as lasl
season , with a few now ones. Boymor ,
Graver and Wood , and in all probabllitj
Gelst , will do the battery work. Walters
Cusnek , McGurrenj Kriekson and Newtoi
will bo with them , nnd possibly Kolm

The Om.iha Kennel club will perfect its
organization ono week from Tuesday evenIng -
Ing , and the fanciers of flno canines are
happy. The prime object of the club is the
advancement of Interests In the

enthusiasm In throughbred strains. The
llrst work of the club , after tbo election of
ofllccrs , will bo to Induce the legislature allts

other valuable stoekthnt , Is , to mnko htm per
sonal property , like the horse. As the law
now stands the owner has no redress nt all. hut
that which betakes hi his own hand , ngalnst
thieves , poisoners or other miscreants. If
your valuable dog is stolen or killed ami you
know the name of the thlof or the slayer , you
can find no protection In the law , because the
dcJfels not property , as abnormal as llmny ap-
penr. There nro many flno dogs In Omahn
and the Kennel club will receive most liberal
encouragement. Speaking about dogs not
being property in this state calls up the
fact that there are many American citizens
who have Imported dogs at enormous figures.
