STAFFORD'S ' DISGUST AT OMAHA WAYS , Mistake of the Audience Ycslorilny'o AniurlcAti Asrtoclntlon Games Sploy Cons Ip From Sioux City Other Sports. It anybody In Oraoha thinks that Manager Shannon hasn't succeeded In congregating a crowd of bait players together , they should Imvo gene down to Lincoln yesterday nt\d watched the lambs toy with Dave Howo's farmers. From start to finish tnolr work was the ncrno of science and hustling enter prise , every man contributing his quota to the grand result. It was a busy afternoon for the affrlcultur- nlNts , and no 'mistake , and the way they rolled low , husked pumpkins and gathered hcu fruit galore was enough to tnako a wooden Indian laugh. Lincoln , however , has abundant grounds for feeling proud , for In addition to having n smooth team , she has the prettiest park In the Western association , with its handsome now grandstand and elevated boxes , club house and ottior necessary adjuncts , nnd she can hardly avoid making n success of It. However , It must bo pretty quiet down there these nights for such old metropolitan * as Hank O'Dny , Uurkott aod that old hero of the Uovolutlonary war , General JncKson Howe. 1t It might not bo amiss to call Lincoln's at tention to the fact that they were guilty of a very culpable piece of work In hissing and rousting the homo team In the midst of a spasm of hard luck. Such an experience Is apt to befall any club at any stage of the game , and thus early In tin season , cheers instead of Jeers , Is the commodity that boosts them along to better ana nobler things. There is no better way in the world to ' destroy the cfllcicncy of n lot of capable and energetic ball nlaycrs than that adopted by the Lincoln audience yesterday. Lincoln wants to crow n tnllo In the ways of the world before it essays the contract It took upon its hand at thisInopportune Junct ure. ure.Dad Clarke nmdo his Mil debut in the box for Danny's Lambs , and while owing to a lack of practice ho was a bit erratic , ho quickly hod the Farmers so well In hand that hotoolc things easy and fairly begged them to hit him. On the other hand , the young Buffalonian , Mr , Stafford , was glad to escape with his life , and at the and cf the second inning ho wished that ho had never been born But ho is a wise youth , and retired .grace fully to the seclusion of the club house , nnd then the Alliance men were In a quandary. It wiis such another caso-of come up In the neck ! as you don't often witness in a bull game. * They wcro every ono dead Icary of the brawny sluggers from the shores of the Big Muddy and for n time it looked as If the con- llict would not go on. Captain Irvin , who played llrst like an old woman at the washboard , called on Hank O'Day to take Stafford's place , but Hank said he would have none of It. Then Mr. Burkott , the other Gothnmlte , was bcscechcd to go in and ho retorted : "Do you want to see mo killed ! " The end was that Captain John had to go In" himself , and it must bo confessed that wtyilo he "trun1 'em o'er" big as water melons , the Lambs found him a greater puzzle than nil the rest , and with anything llko decent support he would Imvo kept the score in statu quo , but ho didn't , and Shannon's men kept up a torch light procession round the bases. But the first inning was a honey cooler. Lot mo toll you about it nnd then you can possibly faintly conceivoof the form In which the Omahas' played ball. Monkey Cllno , whoso moustache is rapidly going to seed , UncifcAH a safe ono on the very first boll Dad'let gioJ rThcn Dad made an error by falling down in his effort to gather up Haymond's ' bunt , and there were two men on the bags , Then , bv George , reliable old Dad mod o n very ambitious pitch , nnd the two runners moved up a peg , ana to cap the climax be socked the next man , Mr. Burkett , in the ribs and the bases were full. But that was just ono of his tricks , for Captain Irwin bit to Donnelly and Donnelly and "Old Cy" Sutcliffo executed about ns brilliant a double play ns you over saw , catching the chimpanzee at the plate. Then Pntton gracefully filed out to Jumping Jack Halllgau and the jig was up. Playing \voll I should say they were. Them the Lambs came in , and on n con catenation of decomposed errors nnd daffodil- bucd blunders Shannon's men Bpilod up iiva runs big enough to work on the road , and in the second they plunked four more on top of them. But It would boa waste of space to detail the carnage. Sulllco it to say the Farmers took to the woods utter this inning and were only in the game in name afterward , " "Old Cy" Sutcliffo , Joe Walsh , Hallican and Dad Clarke hit everything in sightwhilo Jimmy Donnelly playedas magnificent a third ns was over seen on any field. His neat pick ups , lightning throws nnd general matchless agility were good for sore eyes. But all the boys played finely , and the few errors that wcro made were excusable and costless. Clarke could have held the Farmers down to a few scattering bits , but the game was n pudding , stuffed with raisins , and Captain Shannon ordered him to "let 'em hit her , wo want to got up a sweat , " and at divers times Dad obyycd the man date. Tbo bruised and blccdincr Farmers will bo hero this afternoon , and don't yoil fail , if you want to sco a circus , to go to sco them try to play ball.

DENVER SWITCHMEN CO OUT , The Force of the Burlington Doscits the Yards In a Body , WILL TRY TO TIE UP THE ROAD , Hoycntt of tlio Ooiniinnjr'a Cnrs Declared niul the Men of Other Lines AJkcd to Refuse to Handle Them. Colo. , April 11. [ Special Tele gram toTiir. BPK.J Two Burlington switch men wont out this morning at 1 : SO o'clock. This action was taken as n result of a meetIng - Ing held last night.

Tfio meeting lasted from 8 o'clock until 10:00. : Thou n commltto went to the yards and held an interview with the men at work. A number of the night men returned with the commlttco and at 11 :13 : deliberations were resumed. At least fifteen of thn night force wcro present and It took but a short time to ngrco upon n general strike of the Burlington switchmen. The question of supiwrt from other unions took up considerable time , but it was decided that a general boycott of the Burlington cars should bo declared , and com mittees were appointed to visit the men in the Hanta Fe , union Pacific , UIo C.rando , Midland nnd other yards to ask that they refuse to handle Burlington CJM. The moot ing then adjourned. The men say the strike was declared out of sympathy with ttio Lincoln men. They asked nothing more than that the Burlington rccognlro the union and not discharge a man simply because ho belongs to an order which , should ho become disabled , would furnish his family subsistence. The stilko last night included both passcn- sengcr and freight switchmen , .and ono of the striker. ! said they intended to tie up the Burlington so tight that not oven President Harrison could got out of Denver over the Burlington. Promptly at 1:30 : o'clock the switchmen who had been in attendance at the meeting appeared at the Burlington freight vards ami gave notlco to the low employes there present that they had quit , and that any trainman who worked after that time would bo con sidered n scab. There were but three night crows working In the yards nnd none of the men In these crews appeared for work after 1 : HO. There was no disturbance or demon stration of nnv kind mado.

They nro getting better wages now than any yard men in Denver. " _ The Situation Unchanged. Dnxvr.ii , Colo. , April 11. [ Special Tele gram to Tim Bm.l : The situation tonight In the Burlington yards remains very quiet. The passenger trains have been handled without any delay and two freight trains wcro sent out this morning. The strikers have not yet succeeded in inducing the switchmen of any of the other yards to boy cott Burlington cars. Three policemen were on duty at the yards today , but there was no apparent ncod for their services. Several meetings have been held by the switchmen , but no Important results have developed. Thus far the strike creales but little general Interest , nnd the company will have nn dlftl- oulty in lilllng the strikers' places from the ranks of unemployed men in the city of which at this time there are plenty. Their I'1 noes He I UKFilled. . DENVKII , Colo. , April 11. The strikers nro only about twonty-llvo in number. Their grievance Is the same as that which caused the strike at Lincoln and Omaha.

The strikers' convention wound up this evening. Mass meetings are to bo hold dally at tbo princi pal points in the region , stirring addresses are to bo delivered and strong efforts made to bolster up the droplng courage of the strikers. On fho question of remaining out thcro was a unity of expression , though nearly every delegate present * hoped for an curly conference and a satisfactory settlement. This seems a very rcmoto possibility , how ever. The operators will make no overtures for J a conference and the men have deter mined not to. The convention passed reso lutions J declaring that they were law-abiding citizens and orderly delegates ; counsel the men to keep within the bounds of the law , also criticizing Captain Lear severely. The coke companies will make n general effort to resume Monday morning and lively times nro expected. More eviction notices wcro served on strik ers' families throughout the region today. or n Ocnornl Strike. CHICAOO , April 11.
