OLLY , but It xvas hot , bt't wo took'em both I There was a great crowd out at the ball , park yesterday af ternoon to witness the last two L-ames under the M'Cor- mlck - Brandt re- trittio. Lust night they disbanded the club nnd released the players nnd tossed up the sponge most Inglorlously. The base ball public , however , has no cause for perturbation , ns the WoHorn Associa tion has reserved the snr/lcos of every player In the club , nnd President ICrauthoff will bo hero today to consult with citizens with roforoneo to putting the club upon n permanent and popular basis. The player * will all remain right here until the Western association sees proper to dis pose of thorn , and there is every assurance that the business men nnd "fro/en out" stock holders Will respond gladly nnd freely towards the restoration of the great sport In Omaha. But more of this anon. The first gutno yostorduv afternoon was called nt 2 o'clock , and It was a model strug gle , the Farmers falling to score until the ninth inning , when on tno bases on balls , a throo-bnggor , a single nnd an error , they got in four runs. Elteljorg was almost Invulnerable , while Mr. Hortch was fairly flayed nllvc. Four hits were mndo off of Eddie , but Uoach was touched up for eighteen. The score : DUST OAMU. OMAHA. * PUMHAItr.

Game No. 2 begun shortly after 4 , with Clarke and O'Dny as the opposing twlrlors , and both men pitched superbly , Dad having the best of It by big odds. As in the first game the Farmers failed to score until the ninth Inning , when thoysavett themselves by the closest kind of a slmvo. On two hits they got ono run. This was ono of the best nnd most exciting game : seen on the grounds this year and wns marked by the only triple play ever made on the grounds. It was In the sixth inning und happened in this wise : Clino-got his base on balls an d Stafford mndo n hit. Then Jack Howe came up , nnd after fouling twenty-live or thirty balls In a futile attempt to bunt , ho popped up a high one to McOauloy. Cllne , howovoi , in the meantime hud stolen third. Pupa caught thu Lull and tossing it to Shannon , who had covered llrst , Stafford wo * cuugnt , then Shannon lined the bull down to Sutchffo and Cllne , who had at tempted to L-ot in homo on tbo play , was nailed at the plate. Thou the scone that ensued wus ono never witnessed at Association park before. Men nnd boys mood up nnd swinging their huts yelled nnd screamed for fully live minutes. The uproar wns something tremendous. It was the llnost ploco of work over soon here and the cranks wont mad with Joy. After the turmoil bad subsided Umpire Strlof called the game for live minutes , while lirnthor Jack wont out behind the grand stiuui nnd kicked himself half to death. Never before was a triple play executed moro opportunely , nnd never beldro wns ono greeted by a wild and excited populace moro unroarously. While I would have found inuoh pleasure in writing up ttiaso two masterly games in detail , thu baseball fans will overlook this brief mention when they understand that It will require a little extra work to uoou our great team hero.

The Shamrocks nro a line set of players , and kept strictly to the game without bickerings or disputes , consequently the game was thoroughly enJoyed - Joyed by the very largo crowd , which tostl- lled appreciation Impartially of every good piny made. The Burlingtons after tholr re cent nnd much needed rest , played llko giants and put up n grand game of bull. Porriuo was very effective In the box , the visitors Uncling him for only four base bits , nnd Creightoi behind the but was In line form. Harry Urocn's Holding wus excellent and ' Motz'on llrst firmly established himself In favor with the cranks. Yapp's oitch in center Hold and throw In to homo plato , making n splendid double play was the feature of the game. The Uurliugtons wore In bnttiiiR humor , and continually found Stephenson , who gave way to Henn in the seventh. Stophonson's ' thren bagger In the eighth wns a siilondid hit.

It is important that claimants under the Indian depredations law should understand that all contracts made by them with attor ney.s were cancelled nnd annulled by that act. Section i ) of the law explicitly says that "all contracts herctotoro nuulo for fees nnd allowances to claimants' attorneys are hereby declared void , " and the secretary ot the treasury in Issuing warrants for Judg ments is required to muko them payable only to claimants , their lawful In rs or other representatives specified In the act , "except so much thereof ns shall bo allowed the claimants' attorneys by the court for prose cuting unld claim , which "may bo paid direct to such attorneys , " and the amount ot thu allowance which shall be made Is spccltled. The claim agents and attorneys are mnkl'ig n light on the law upon the ground that con gress has no power to nnnul private con tracts , ana hold that contracts Involving n contingent feu nro Irrevocable. Claimants who ore thus Informed should pay no atten tion to it. Their obviously wlso mid proper course Is to bo guided by the provhlo'13 of the law , which uro so plain and explicit that no one can err us to their moan ing , and to pay no regard to op inions or representations of men whose interest It Is to defeat the Intent of the law. The evident purpose of congress In do- during contracts with attorneys void was to protect claimants , and even if it bo granted that there is u question us to the power of congress to do this , until that question i judicially determined claimants will make u mistake not to take the advantage which thu law allows them , nnd by fulluro to do so sub ject themselves to the exactions of the greedy claim iigonts and attorneys. But it Is highly probable that the power of conK gross In this matter will never bo tested In * V the courts , since it is hardly to bo supposed * - that tbo many able lawyers In congress would have allowed so Important n feature of the Indian depredations act to remain In It If there was a reasonable doubt regarding thu right of congress to so legislate. The thing to ho understood by claimants under the above act Is that contracts made with attorneys for foes and allowance were rondoroil void by the net , anil thut they nro ut liberty to place their claims in other bunds and to refuse In all respects to be hound by such contracts.
