    THE OMAHA DA1LYBSE : TUESDAY , AUGUST 11 , 1S ; > J.
LOST IT IN THE NINTH ,
Omolm's Revived Team Had a Streak of
Very Hard Luck Yesterday.
O'CONNOR'S ' ' HOME RUN WAS THE THING ,
Crcnt Crowd Out to HCR thn Tcnni
Drop IIH Vlr t Oiiino nt
Homo Other Hull
Gnmes.
The resuscitated Omnhas made Umlr debut
DM the homo grounds yesterday iiftonioou before -
fore the largest Monday crowd over seen
bcro. The pram ! stand wns nicely lilted , n
peed proportion of the crowd being Indies.
The bleachers , of course , were barren , for a
mnn could Imvo watched the game with as
much comfort from n seat on u redhot steve
as ho could In the torrid sun on the uncov
ered seals.
For an hour before the game the Musical
union band rendered a spirited pro-irummo ,
nnd ultogolhcr the occasion partook of the
nlr of a gala tiny.
The Dcnvers had their slrongosl tnam on
the Hold , and yet , the locals took hold of
them with a decree of familiarity that was
very disgusllng to White Wing * , and had It
not been for n couple of unfortunate errors
In tbo ninth Inning they would uavo boon
handsomely walloped.
Up to this critical pointLeadley's men had
n tight grip on the game , and Just a ; it
looked as If they had It peed and safe , Dame
Fortune switched her smiles and the Moun
taineers cavorted then llkoso many yearlings
at a country fair.
The now learn showed up well , barring a
notlcoablu norvonsniss nt critical times , and
with a lltlio more worlt together will bu able
to hold Its own with the most of them.
The big crowd , which was as enthusiastic
nnd noisy as any crowd that bus assembled
nt. the purl : this season , gave numerous testimonials
menials of its approbation , and showed that
It was not inclined to be hypercritical.
Hut the game.
It was an innovation to see the visiting
team go to bat first , but that Is what Denver
did yesterday , and the crowd sort o1 liked It.
Jimmy Burns inaugurated the proceedings
by laying out n couple of sacks and every
body thought that the Tobeaus were in for n
piunlo with the slender Mr. Kcofe. Rut their
fears were quickly dissipated for the next
three men went out in rapid succession.
McClellan led off with a clean one to center
for the Lambs on the llrst ball pitched , and
the wiord sounds that emanated from the
grand stand mndo Mr. McNabb nervous , nnd
the second one ho tried to tire went over the
shed and Mac * galloped round to third. Then
Old Pop Smith , who looks n little attenuated
to what ho did during the revolutionary war ,
sent another beauty out into the cold and un
charitable world , nnd McClellun ran in.
This caused much jubilation in the stands ,
nnd when Pop stole second and iccpt right on
homo on llio lubberly Lohbeek's wild throw ,
the fans arose and howled with glee !
Ollio Heard nnd White Wings took coed
care that Colonel Flanagan went bad : to the
bench , but DungUu took the lii-nt bag because
McNabb rofti&cd totruii over do can. "
Then the To.xun made another wild pitch ,
and Lobbed : two successive passed balls ,
nnd Dun brought in the third tally.
White Wings at this juncture walked into
the diamond and up to McNabb and with a
significant twirl of his linger , said : "What's
dor madder wid ye , Nnbb , you tryin' to
trow do game ? Now , vou git down to busi
ness or I'll lop off a couple o' wenks' salary.
Seel" arid White Wines returned to llrst.
Jack Fields made three vicious stabs nt tbo
gyrating sphere , nnd as ho went bacic to the
bench. White Wings patted McNabb met
aphorically on the bucic.
Coleman got lirst on four moro wide ones ,
nnd when Walsh stopped to the plan ho was
greeted with a salvo "of applause , llo doffed
his cap , then smashed out a nicely laundrlod
two bagccr , and the crowd wont wild.
Whitehend also hit safe , and the fifth run
crossed the plate.
Chippy MeUarr made n circus stop of
Keofo's hot grounder and the inning was
over.
In the second , after Werrick bad perished
from Walsh to Flanagan , the Chippy got his
base on balls and scored on Kennedy's ' three-
bagger , Kennedy following him lu a mo
ment Inter on Lohbeck's sacrillco. McNubb
furnished the third out.
In her half Omaha drew a blank.
Again in the third the Toboaus gathered In
n couple of more , the Poet lifting the globe
over tbo loft Held fortco fora homor. and
lack O'Connor scoring on his own sinclo , an
other one by Heard , and Fields' wild throw.
Again Omaha held n losing ticket , and in
the fourth Denver tied the score.
Lohbcck began with a single , and after Mc-
Nubb's retirement , was followed with n safe
ono by Burns , and n two sucker by Beard ,
nnd everything was now again.
Only for n brief period , however , for in
their half of the fifth , the Lambs jumped
Into the van again with a margin of three
runs. Flanagan got his base on balls ,
Dungan bunted safely , but Fields went out
toToboau ; tlinn Coleman drove ono down to
Hoard , and Flanagan was caught at the
plato , nnd affairs didn't look so promising
after all. Hut after Coleman had stolen
second \valtdi made a pretty single , nnd
Dungan scored. Walsh started to steal
second and Lohbock made n wild throw ,
which not only let Coleman in , but Walsh
too.
too.That
That was clover , wasn't it , nnd when .Foe
reached the bench ho pitched up n bushel
basket , moro or less , of big Jphn dollars.
Whitehead went out to White \Vings , a.id
there was no moro runs made until the ninth ,
when Deliver made four ami won the game.
Lohbeck opened with a hit , and on White-
head's ' wild throw of Founder's ground
er , ho run across tbo plate , and Harry
reached third. Walsh made a wide throw of
the Poet's hit and Flanagan muffed it , r.nd
O'Connor , the Irish patriot , following with a
homer , the thing was done.
Wasn't that tough , though ?
Omaha mndo a gallant struggle to regain
lior lost ground , in her half , but it was no go.
McClollnn led oft with his second safe hit.
nnd Smith got. his base on bells , but that was
nil there was of It , for Flanagan and Dungan
furnished easy outs , and Smith was forced
out at second by Fields , nnd the day was
gene beyond recall.
The same teams meet again this afternoon.

MILWAUKEE'S ' CREAF DESIRE ,

American Association.
WILLING TO WRECK THE WESTERN.

Homniti Loyal ,
MfuvAi-KKK. WIs. , Atip. 10. | Special Tele
gram to Tin : Iir.R.1 The shaiy Western
association is on Its last legs , nnd nothing
short of u miracle can revive It. It has
always been weak , and It Is doubtful If It
will survive the present year. The worst
crack out of the box came today , when
It was announced that the Minneapolis
team had been disbanded , owing to poor pat
ronage. With Minneapolis out of the cir
cuit , and two or throe other cluoj In the as
sociation , nbout ready to glvo Up the ghost ,
It is bard to figure how the thing can bo
kept up , and a day or two will no doubt tell
the tale.
This much Is said : That the Milwaukee
team will not remain In the present circuit
with Minneapolis out of it.
Another fuel is ibis : That if this city sees
any moro baseball in the future It will be the
American nssocinllon nrliclo. Though the
news of the Minneapolis club's decease cnmo
ns the proverbial thunderbolt from n clear
sky , it was no news to President Gillotle of
the Milwaukee club. Ton days ngo ho re
ceived n straight tip from Haron Hach of
what was coming. Forthwith the Milwau
kee official opened up negotiations with the
American association people. What a close
call to n successful IssuaGillctlo had was not
known until today. Were it not for the fact
that Louisville raised the necessary cash ,
Milwaukee would have playud ball tomor
row with the Baltimore team. Louisville's
unexpected rallv knocked all calculations
in the head , however. Uillotto had llio whole
deal cooked up with President Kramer and
Chris Von dcr Abe of the bl. Louis club.
"There Is only ono salvation for us now , "
said the Milwaukee magnate today , "and
that is the purchase of an American Asso
ciation franchise. If the present
stockholders will not consent to
n reasonable outlay lo bring about
such a result , there is enough capital at my
command in the hands of solid business mou
to accomplish the oojoct desired. " '
The news of the impending collapse of the
association was soon noised about town , and
created a profound sensation. Manager
Cushman was dumbfounded when apprised of
the fuels. Wilh such a nice lead for the
pennant the prospect of being thus shakeu
out naturally created Ibo sumo olloct on
'
' Cush"jis a'blow from a meat axe would
have caused. Still Cushman does not despair.
Ho believes the season can be played out with
four clubs if that is the best thai can bo done.
Ho does not believe Ihnt any of Iho players
can bo sold.
President Gillette has wired President
Krauthoff at Kansas City asking what is to
bo done. He is also in communication with
Iho American association president in re
gard lo securing a franchise.
The Sioux Citv team arrived here tonight
nnd will play ball tomorrow nflornoon and
Wednesday and Thursday per schedule.
What will be done afler that is guess work.
It is rumored bora tonight that If a six-club
circuit is arranged , Lincoln will not bo In it ,
as the club is said to be in a loitering condi
tion.
linnenpolis' ( Iul > to Disbnml.
MiNNc.trous , Minn. , August 10. Henry
LoIIaoh , president of the Minneapolis ball
club has decided to disband the club.
President Hach admits ho has lost no
money yet , but says to play tlio season out
means a loss of $1,000 , and ho preferred to
quit now. Sam Morton Is trying lo form a
syndicate to play the season out.
Denver Will Mick.
DnNVF.it , Colo. , Aug. 10. President Pack
ard of the Denver ball club was seen today
in reference to the disruption of the Western
association. Ho said if Minneapolis nnd
Milwaukee dropped out the association would
continue with six teams. Denver would
piny ball so long as sbo had a club to play
with.
Sioux City Will Stay.
Sioux CITY , la. , Aug. 10. [ Special Tele
gram lo TUB BcK. | The disbanding of Ibo
Minneapolis baseball club will have no effect
on the Sioux City loam. There is a sufficient
guarantee of funds to carry the team Ihrough
the season , und it will certainly stay.

In Tone Hi-suit ol'nit Attempt
to Interrupt an
Oral or.
The smelting work * strikers held another
meeting nt Mot/'s hull last night.
After some little preliminary skirmishing
by some light gnus Mr. ICrct limeyor was
brought to the front by the chairman and
proceeded to onlorUiti the house full
of laboring men for half nn hour.
Ho provoked n gold deal of laughter and ap
plause and finally united all the o who pro-
poiod to slay out until they gel what they
demanded lo rise. The entire audience1 ,
numbering probubly foir ; hundred mou ,
stood ui > , nnd with n gcUuronf nru.it satis
faction and irlumph Mr. ICrolchmeyor look
his seal.
Some ono called for Palrlclt Ford , nnd the
statesman trom the Third ward walked up
the nblu to the since and faced the crowd.
Ho discussed the eight-hour law at length.
Mr. Ford eulogi/.ed all the members of Iho
Douclns county delegation In the last legisla
ture , because they all worked hard for the
eighl hour and otherltiw.i f'lvoring the laborIng -
Ing classes. He said lie had always been a
friend of the laboring classes and proposed
to continue in the good work.
Mr. Ford advised the men to stand firm.
They were In the riaht , and must win if they
slaiul llrm. Ho said llioro was no moro dan
ger of Iho smelling works moving away
from Omaha lhan ihero wits of nil Ihe black-
lllnlQ tnrnlnrv tuhltrt
Aii old gcnllonmn named Potter , with n
superfluity of hair and long whiskers , was
then Introduced and spoke until tlio chair
man said ho had betler saw it off. Ho nad n
clear voice nnd clothed his thought In choice
language , bill ho persisted in going lee fin
back into ancient history to suit tHa crowd.
Ho struck the monopolies and Hi 3 "money
power" some very energetic blows and was
liberally applaudod.
Then Mr. Krctchmayor began to spoal : in
Hohonuan. Ho had not talked long until
ho was interrupted by n discussion and con
fusion near Iho door. Mr. Joseph HossecK ,
who keeps a store in the block north of
Mottz's hall , began to protest against the
language Krotchmoycr was using.
' Put him out ! Put him out ! " a scorn of
uxcitod men yelled , nnd in loss time lliati It
takes to tell It there was a mob in Iho corner
hustling Mr. Hosscck to the door leading into -
to tlio beer garaon , bovoral vicious blows
were aimed at Iho man , who
had dared lo contradict the speaker , but in
the Jain and scufllo ho escaped unhurt. In nil
probability Mr. liossockvould have been
severely beaten , but just as the crowd hurled
him out of the door Ofiiccrs M. Drumming
nnd S. Dubniso came upon the scene , nnd
while ono of the brawny officers hold the
crowd in check the other hurried Uossock to
the sidewalk gnto and told him to make
tracks for homo , which ho did without furthpr
delay.
After Mr. Krotchmoycr had llnishod his
Bohemian speech Mr. Allan Hoot was in
troduced. Ho talked for half nn hour , ad
vising the men to stand llrm. Ho
said that the laborers had earned every
cent of the smelting company's wealth ,
every cent that wont into Mr. Barton's line
house , every cent that bad bought bis fine
horses , and il was lima that they ( Iho labor
ers ) should have Ihoir share of Iho prolits.
Mr. HDOI advised the men not to indulge In
anything unlawful , not to destroy any prop
erty or injure anybody , but to stand for the
cicht hour law.
Mr. T. C. Kelsey spoke briefly and
then the inceoting ndjourned with the an
nouncement that another meeting would beheld
held on Wednesday evening at the same
place.
IB Tip an Anarchist ?
Speaking of his ejectment from the hall
afterward , Mr. Hos.seck said that Krotch
moycr wns advising the ir.cn to have their
demands if they had to ros-ort to the destruc
tion of lifo nnd property in order to force the
smelting company to give In.
Mr. liossock said ; "I have lived in Omaha
along time. 1 urn a Bohemian , anu I have
properly horn. I have a family and I wautlo
bo respectable and see my brother Bohe
mians become respectable citizens.
i 'or that reason [ I don't like
to hear a man advocating tbo
doctrine of the anarchisls hero in Omaha. I
protested against the language ho was using.
It was not right to tall : that way and ho
know it , but they would not listen to mo.
They put me out. Kroichmoyur don't own
any property hero , nnd ho don't care , but
there are Bohemians in Omaha who don't
like to hear that Jind of talk. "
Some other Bohemians were seen by a re
porter for Tin : Bui : who denied lhat Krotch
moycr used incendiary nnd anarchistic
liCnguago. They said that Itosscck misunder
stood Mr. Krelchmeyer.

barley , 9'J.B ; buckwheat , 'JS.3 ; potatoes , U0.5 ;
tobacco , 8S.5 ; hay , ' .W.O.
Corn has fallen oil 2 per cent during the
month , Iho decline being almost entirely In
the stales of the Ohio vnlloy and the north
west. The decline was due to dry weather ,
approaching drought in portions of Indiana
aiid Illinois und low temperature in
idl scc'.tluns of Iho corn surplus
districts. There was sufllcient rainfall in
Kansas > nnd Nebraska , wilh some local ex
cesses , and Ihu moulh was fairly fnvoraolo ,
notwithstanding the low temperature. ICast
of llio Allegheny mountains und in tlio south ,
Iho conditions were favor.iblu nnd averages
advanced. The crop continues late in most
sections , tlio result of u poor start and ab
sence of hot , forcing weather during July.
Unless August should prove unusually favor
able and the season bo a long onu there is
danger that corn may not mature properly.
While the general average is reasonably
high , correspondents quality by emphasl/.lug
Iho necessity for a favorable season from
this date ou.
In Iho surplus slnles , Iho averages are :
Ohio , ( M ; . Indiana , 88 ; Illinois , hi ) ; I own , IK ) ;
Missouri , 87 ; Kansas , 8S ; Nebraska , 8' ' . ) . It
should bu noticed that but one of tbo sur
plus states returns nn average moro Ihun Iho
average for Iho counlry.
Who.it returns relate lo spring wheat only ,
the nvenigo for the whole breadth advancing
somoA-hat during the monlh. The improve
ment is general , except in Washington ,
where hoi winds injured Iho prospect in
some districts of the state. Koturns ouUldt )
of Ibis state and Wisconsin closely approach
the slandnrd for comparison.
The principal states are ; Wisconsin , 79 ;
Minnesota , OS ; Iowa , ( ft ; Nobrniku. ! I7 ;
North Dakota , DO ; South Dakota , US ; Wash-
ingUin-00. Q
Oats have improved 2 per cent during the
month and the Jliruros of the condition indi-
dieato u medium yield per acre. The blight
which ruined the crop last year and which
was feared again at thodaioof iho.luly re
port has appeared but In few isolated locali
ties. The weather ul the close of the grow
ing fcaon und during harvest was t'onnrally
favorable and lute growth was sufllciont to
largely offset poor stale and deficit laud.
Cooler weather which retarded the corn
growth In the upper Mississippi valley was
fuvorublo to this cereal , materially advanc
ing state average. The nverncos In states of
larger production are : row York , OU ; Penn
sylvania , 01 ; Ohio , bO , Michigan , Ml ; Illinois ,
btl ; Wisconsin , b'O ; Minnesota , ! ! { Iowa , 1W ;
Kansas , DO ; Nebraska , ' , ,
Barley shows improvement and promises a
largo croo In most of the districts of heavy
production , The California returns condi
tion nt 100 , or practically perfect. In Isow
York and Wisconsin , however , the proipect
i loss favorable. The llrst return for buckwheat -
wheat is tbo highest for eight years past ,
with n slight increase in acreage.
Condition of potatoes is returned remark
ably high , scoring gain of a point over lust
month. In fifteen years previous the recent I
season , August shows condition higher than
July but onco. Should the prosout prospeol
bo continued the crop will be ono of unusual
proportions. _
