Y no
epoch within tbo
annals of the great
tmtloiml game has
been no fraught with
son nations und
changes as has boon
witnessed In the
Western nnd Ameri
can associations , as
that of the present
This spring the U'ostern was admitted as n
party to the llrst part to the national agree
ment , nnd was olovntod to the dignity of tx
major body , thus In point of importance
ranking above tbo American , which with
drew from partnership with tno league on
the grounds that they were being systemat
ically Utiiicood. Thoovll cfTectsof this un
wise move ha\'o been as Irreparable ns they
have numerous , nnd nil organizations
have suffered alike. What promised to bo
the nannor year In the history of the gnmo
has turned out ono of the most uncertain ,
tinsatlsfactoryand disastrous , as tbe absolute
failure of the Western and tlio thorough de
moralisation of tlio American fully attust.
Puffed up with her fulso pride nnd sham
Importance the Western starved out
In April with a flourish ot trum
pets und n sounding of brass that
WHS calculated to deceive the average
enthusiast , but not the careful and conserv
ative element who have long since realized
that a baseball campaign of the magnitude'
of the ono launched upon by thi body can
only bo successfully carried on by tbo strict
est observance of uusincss" principles. The
additional expense accruing from the West
ern's elevation to the plane of the National
league ami the ovortoworlnj ? ambition this
Inculcated clearly foreshadowed catastrophic
results. In order to fulfil ! its functions and
to carry out its semblance of greatness , the
different club managements wore led Into a
labyrinth of perplexities to which they were
Utterly nnd incontinently unequal. There
In lit * rt nt lttnl n ' *
lido of nn Jnstanco or two , iu the Western
association's roster ot magnates , and , in
fact , but n meager mlowniice of good horse
sense. Men who could possibly make n suc
cess of a club on the commons were installed
us helmsmen of combinations supposed to bo
on n level with those of Now York , Hoston
Bnd Philadelphia. Disaster was inevitable.
The \Vo < itorii association , too , since its
very inception , has been burdened with
B number of parasites who never bad its in
terests at heart , but who seem to regard itas
ft sort of a ( tide issue to give Just such u class
mi opportunity to shako down the neoplo.
All they wonted was the money in sighteach
tcason , apparently expecting it bust-up in tlio
end , und no preparations nor provisions were
ever mndo looking to bettor things In the fu
ture. If they could bold together through tbe
lummor that was all they cared for the win
ter would afford ample tlmo to calk up the
rotten old craft so she could bo made to float
Benin in the string.
This year , with p. C. ICrauthoff , a most
Worthy and capable gentleman , as the head
und front of the con corn , the conservative class
thought a season of unexampled prosperity
was forthcoming , but when it became known
that Lihcoln , bloux City , St. Paul and , in
fact , overv club in the circuit , wns employ
ing players at New Yoik and Uoston salaries ,
the old apprehension returned , and they
gravely shook their heads as they witnessed
the association , instead of starting out delib
erately and in'a buslneas-liko way , jump into
n veritable catch-as eatuh-cau wrestling
match.
That tliolr forebodings were well grounded
bears no dispute at this juncture. In the
very bcighth of the season , with a handsome
load for the championship , the stoutest club
Omaha over boasted ol , was scuttled and
sunk. This sent dismny rampant throughout
the entire organization , and llttlo by little
the fabric began to decay und crumble , until
finally the collnpso camo. Today a sad rem
nant of the VVostctn association is all that
remains of what was alleged to bo the second
baseball organization in the country in .April ,
nnd this remnant has entered upon n new
race simply that the association may bo preserved -
served for nnother trial a year hence.
Not aiono , fortunately , however , has the
Western association been in her misery , for
* If there over wns n baseball organization on
the rack that association Is tbo Amoti-
can. All that has held this piratical gang
together has been the dollars of Chris
Von dor Abe , and the con game played by
his bushwncklng subalterns from the begin
ning of the season. Nut a club outside of
Boston , nnd its profits wouldn't build u rail
road , has made h dollur , but instead have
dumped enough money to have run a dozen
such organizations line affairs in the baseball -
ball world been pleasant and harmonious.
Just now the American is floundering weirdly
and it is only the promise of un early com-
pomisu with the league that enables it to keep
us head above tbo surface. In mattorof fact
It is worse off than the Western , whose case
is deplorable enough at bost.
High Tlmo I'or Itiislness.
It does seem n trifle strange that Manager
Leadloy , If the Omaha club is really to bo
continued until the mid of the season , is not
able to Mi out : then bis team from tbo mass of
basob nil timber that has been sot alloat dur
ing the past ten davh. The Idea , however
of maintaining the Western association with
but four clubs Is ono that will bo received
with but llttlo favor. No series of games
could bo played by tlioso teams that would
nwakou even u semblance of interest , and
It strlltos the ordinary observer that
tiio best plan would bo to no-
ki'owlcdgo unequivocally that the organisa
tion lias been doomed , and quit entirely. Instead -
t
stead of continuing on nnd sinking still moro
money , the directors should hold a meeting
nnd map out n line of procedure for the coming -
i ing year , utill/lng a juitlon of the money
that this would require that must necessarily
bo dumped by hanging on. What if all the
players of the Western association are turned
loose the better portion has already gone ,
nnd another six months will see Ilio
bnso ball market so glutted with
players that it will make the
nvorago manager's head swim to make n
choice. Again It Is not only the supporters
of the game who are to suffer by this llnnl
" *
* collapse , for many n player who has boon
drawing his $10 , # 15 nnd ? JO a day for almost
absolutely no return , will bo glad to get u
job lit the above prices per month. This sea
son's work will relegate many nnd many a
whilom star to the ijulot precincts of the
brick yard , the burloy-btirloy of the rolling
mill , or Hie healthful calisthenics of the pick
mid Hhovol on the public highways- Even anew
now national agreement , which is bound to
como , will not prove the solution of the large
contingent of hoodlum * , toughs and cranks
nnd confidence men who Infest the national
gnmo under the guise of ball players. Yes ,
it Is high tlmo the Western association
* ceased monkeying1 , and got down to business.
'I lie SmokuleHs Powder.
A correspondent writes TDK BRB asking
for an enumeration of tbo merits and dcmeris
of tbo so called smokeless powders , as com
pared with the ordinary black article , but It
is doubtful whether TUB Ben la quallllcd to
a\ithoratlvoly discuss tbo matter. Frequent
use of the wood powder recently , though , tuts
Impressed the writer with its many attrac
tions , and it will bo used continuously In
preference to the old ordinary gun powder.
Ills almost absolutely smokeless , with but
the faintest recoil , und makes u report that is
but u whisper compared to that made by the
common black. Homo authorities boldly
claim that when acting pronorly , the wood
mid white uowdcrs produce higher velonltios ,
while the pressure is not too high , and In
deed give Iu some cases lower pressure than
tbo best black powder. They also claim ,
that being composed chiefly of high explo
sives , they must necessarily have possibilities
ot Instability of character. One cannotjbut
feel regarding- them at one would toward n
captured lion or tiger which may have been
apparently turned. Subject to control under
ruinary circumstances , the natural ferocity
t the beast remains latent. At uny lustunt

It may break forth nnd destroy the Umor ,
who the minute before appeared to bo its
master. Ordinary gunpowder alone appears
to bo wottby ot full confidence , nlthougn
many gunners nro coming to the Shultz nnd
wood powders. Krank Parmnlco In using
them exclusively both In the fluid nnd nt the
trap , nnd claims that ho docs fully ns good
execution ns with the old black powder , nnd
doesn't suitor ono hundredth part of the nn-
noynnco in the way of nolsn , smoke and recoil.
The GiMitlfitnnn'fl Driving Clnl ) .
The Gentleman's Driving club , which hold
such nn Interesting matinee at the fair
grounds yesterday , U becoming n flourishing
Institution , nnd will do much toward foster
ing un interest in good roadsters , nnd furnish
any amount of amusement for local owners.
There Isn't n city of nnv consequence in the
country that does not boast ot n similar or
ganization. and thu nttcndnucoat many ot the
matinees given exceed that at the regular
professional courses. The amount of friendly
rivalry that niters Into thcso equine struggles
Is nn Ingredient that never fnllsto make them
exceedingly exciting , nnd it will not bo long
before tno at'oiidanco nt the local park will
bo commensurate with the Interest manifest.
The Omaha club was organized Augiut 10 bv
the election of II. 1C. Htirkett , president ; W.
W. Mare , vice-president : George IX hd-
wards , secretary , ami K. O. BacKus , treas
urer. It began with u dozen charter mem
bers , but now numbers three times that
many , nml is increasing constantly. Regular
bl-weokly sessions nro held at the fair
grounds1' course , on Wednesday nnd Satur
day afternoons.
Talking Tliron li Ills UnHmntniis.
Harrv Glirr.oro's claim In the Chicago pa
pers that ho was not knocked out a week neo
last night at South Omaha by n blow from
Jack Wllko's ' fist docs not como in good grace
from this old stale and played out rlngstor.
Ho says that ho received his quietus by a col
lision of nis c.iput with that of Jack's that
they both led and missed , but their ho.tds came
together with n tcrtiblu concussion which
knocked him senseless. This Is guff , pure
and simple , as everyone who witnessed the
fight knows. Wtlkes , oneying his second's
instructions , went after Cilmoro in cut nest
nt the outset of the second round , and the
first notable tiling that happened In his rush ,
wns that ho received a crack over the eye
himself that gave Gllmoro llrst blood. In
stead of shcriclng Wilkcs' onslaught , howcv-
evur , this made him moro savage and deter
mined than over , but it wasn't moro than
thirty seconds afterward that Glltnoro re
ceived tlio smash in the forehead that split
the llcsh llko a knifn and drenched his
face iu blood which undo it un easy matter
for Jack to got in a settler well back on the
neck. Gilmoro's talk , however , e.uinot rob
Wllks of his claim to nu easy victory , and ho
Is only belittling tiimself in making it.
A Tjottoi1 from John Tpemrr.
ST. JosKl'ii , Mo , Aug. SI. To the Sporting
Kditorof Tin : BKB : I have just written Mr.
F. C. Keod. president of thoManawa railroad
tour boat rates. Hostile * mvsolf I will bring
with mo four oared double and single eared
crows , who will compote for prizes. I will
rovr single races with a competent man whom
I will bring with mo.
Under my instructions here , nro some flue
amateurs who arc members of the St. Joseph
Boating association , of which I have ctiargo.
They are about completing n commodious
boat house , furnished with tno latest appli
ances , which will cost from 8,000 to SIO.OOO.
I have lately challenged ilanlou nnd Gau-
daur , but up to the present tlmo have beard
nothing from them. I have $ ) l)0 ) forfeit with
a sporting paper in Now York. It is my in
tention soon to challenge any man In the
world at a single scull race. Very tiuly

The Kntes arc Asiiiinst Them.
There is but little doubt but what Eitcl-
jorg , McCauley , Donnelly , Clarke , Halligan
and ono or two of tbo other old Omaha
plavors , are ruing the day they listened to
the blandishments of the man , who moro
than any ono else , wrecked the Western
association , and that man is Dan
Shannon. Eltcljorg nnd McCauley ore
to bo released by Washington ar.d Donnelly
is in a similar predicament at Columbus. Not
n single man of the old local force has been
nulo to play anything like the game bo played
hero , and instead of tbo praise lavishly bestowed -
stowed upon them by the Omaha pro's ,
thay now take their daily rousts.
The consequences are that "Old Cy" Silt-
cllffo has grown as thin nnd puny as n child ;
Sandy Grinin manages to muff about ns many
flies as ho catches ; McCauley is n deal fail
ure and Shannon has lied homo sick.

Tbo Western association died of misman

Jack Plcicott nnd Koddy Gallagher will

The Western association dates Its downfall

The frantic rfforts of both tbo Western

truly says.
Mrs. Beckley thinks she can play llrst bet

The national board has flopped once moro

A Washington scrlba writing of the

Jocko Halligan , wnilo catching for the
DulT.ilo Brotherhood club last year , was

And they did win und win easily.
President Kr.imer says that "tho abandon
ment of Cincinnati is onlv temporary , am !
that they will bo in Hue tbero with n now
new club ami new grounds next spring ! "
Such n course would mean the double cross
for Milwaukee , but it isn't prob.iblo that the

John O'Koofo was in Columbus a couple of

Caikei Cliirko said he would like to comeback
back to Omalia , but lip guesacd it was too

Omaha than iu his present situation. They

In speaking of Charley Keillor , tbo BrooKlyn -

Everybody lecls blue since tbo celebrated
first baseman hurt his foot. Wo hope to see
him playing bis old position soon.
Fly n ti , Shanahiin , J. Mahoney and F. Mahoney -
honey nave been members ot the Nonpareils
since the club was organized iu 1SSO.
The Orchard's have greatly strengthened
tliolr team under Fralilt Baker's management
nnd nro noiv one of the strongest teams Iu
tlio state.
' 1 ho number Of pretty girls that attend the
Nonpareil's games are of themselves a pleas
ant leaturo. It would do you good to hoar
them applaud the boys.
The Nonpareils have done more to furnish
the publie with amateur ball than any tonm
in the cltv but if they want to win today
they will have to hustle.
Lvinan. the Nonp troll substitute , is n cork
ing second baseman. If some good club
would give him usbo\v to play regular ho
would open some people's eyes.
' Stub" Slater , , captain of tbo Athletics ,
says that neither the Albrichts or Maroons
can claim the championship of South Omaha
until they play his'loim three camei.

The Welch-Howlott light , owing to the re

South Omaha last night. It will take plaoo

Danny Daly is iu in Denver , and , it seems ,
is pushing Ins claims on George Dixon for n
light. Ho has received backing out there to
the extent of SJ.fiOO and is undoubtedly in
earnest in his overtures to the little Boston
darkey.
Henry Homnn and Bob Wells will make nn
extensive in excursion into the mountains of
Colorado this fall for elk and Dear. Judge
Duudv nnd party are off on a similar excur-
'ion nt present , and the latest advices have it
that they are rapidly exterminating the big
game.
J. A. H. Elliott , the champion wing shot of
America , will bo hero and take part in the
Omaha gun club's tournament in October ,
and a co with Frank Pnrmoloe. the local
champion , is probable. Elliott is now at
Leadvillo iu attendance nt the Colorado
shooting tournament. Ho will visit the Pa
cific elope before returning and expects to
moot Baker. Chick. Hoblnson nnd other
erncK shots. Wlu-n ho comes back ho wnnts

CHICIOO , Aug. 'J2. [ Spsclol toTiti'.nrin.J
If Mr. J. Kmifniiinn of Doll Stimitra is not
mistaken the United States will bo raising
its own suiiuvtr.i tob.icco before very long.
"I nin now on my wav south , " said he at
the Auditorium , "to look Into the surround
ings there. If the plan provoj fovdblo plan-
tntlons for raising SuufMru tobacco will bo
established there. I have no doubt that n
loaf us good for practical purposes us that
raised in the Island of Sumatra can bo
shown In tills country. H may not bo quiet
so largo as the native \eaf , but , this will malt
but llttlo difference In Its commercial value.
"Wo have been compelled to lake some nc-
tlon of this sort , " continued Mr. Kaufmann ,
"by the MoKlnloy bill. Since Its p.usago
forty of the largest tooacco plantations in
Sumatra have buon elojod , entailing nn ag
gregate lois to tlio ownois of $ JOOU..OUO. ) In
anticnmtlon of the rise in Sumatra all the
biT | dealers In the United Slates laid in n
largo supply and the consciiuenco Is tlio mar
ket is glutted. "
Speaking of the svstom under which the
plant is cultivated in Sumatra , Mr. Kauf
man said : "Tho plantations are leased from
the native Miilavuhloftnlus for n period of
sovonty-IIvo years. The Malays still coutrol
the Interior of the country which Is rich in
minerals , out the Malays prefer to live in
their own \vay and are hostile to any now
enterprise , so that llttlo or no attempt has
boon made to develop these enterprises. The
labor on the plantations U done by coollos ,
15.000 of whom have boon thrown out of
employment. 1 hey are hired for a period of
three yoarj , and during mat period the
authority of the managers of tlio plantations
over thorn is almost absolute. They mo fur-
insiiod with dwelling * and what little cloth
ing they need. Thov arc also given the to
bacco seed and each aliened a piece of
ground The llrst part of the product Is taken
to pay for the food , clothing , etc. , advanced ;
then a certain proportion of the balance belongs -
longs to tlio coolie. The year's income of n
coolie after these necessary expenses are paid
ranges froir. $ .10 to SI5J. Some make as low
us $5 and some are even in debt at the cud of
three years' service. Those are obliged to
remain aim worK uniii uns uooi is p.uu. 11
they attempt to run nwav they are
arrested by order of the Dutch governor ,
brought back nnd delivered over to the man
ager of the plantation for punishment. A
coolie usually gets about twenty-live lashe ?
for the llrst offense nnd is not able to walk
for a fortnight. It really nnkoi little difference
'
ence whether a coolie hn's $ . " > or $110 profit to
show at the end of the year , as it is all
gambled away as soou as ho guts it.
-.lani'H Itioo Crop IN short.
Mr. J. F. Smith , the consul of the Slame.'o
government at Now York city , says tho" rico
crop of that kingdom is short this year.
"Just how much the shortage will amount
to , " said Mr. Smith at the Grand 1'acilic. "it
is vetv hard to sav , bacauso tlio Siamese
government has no department for the col
lection of crop statistics as wo have here.
There has been a scarcity of grain and the
rivers from which the irrigation uitches are
supplied have run quito low.
"Tho present king of Slam , " added Mr.
Smith , "is following the progressive example
of nis father. Bangkok , the capital , now has
horse cars , electric lights and other features
of a live modern city. I myself am an
American tuid his majesty cultivates both
Americans and Europeans , as ho is
anxious to learn as much as pos
sible about our civilisation. The
overwhelming majority of the Siamese are
Buddhists and cling to their religion with so
much tenacity that , it is difllcult to roach
them with the teachings of Christianity. "
A Vouiifj 1'rinoc's Idea of Kim.
T. C. Crawford , the famous newspaper
correspondent who is stopping at the Hlchel-
iou , relates. the following storv of Emperor
William's little son :
"Tho guards at the palace are required to
salute every time royalty passes bv , dropping
the butts ot their gutis upon the ground. The
young prince in passing ono of the guards at
the doorway of his father's palace discovered
that cadi time his royal llttlo person came
that way the big gun olattoroa to the pave
ment. One day Ins father hoard a contin
uous pounding at the door which annoyed
him verv much and , going out to see the
cause of the disturbance , ho found his small
son strutting backand forth in front of the
prespiring sentry highly elated at the noibo
which was being made in his honor , ilo was
promptly taken in hand nnd received tlio ad
ditional honor of a vigorous thrashing nt the
hand of his majesty.
ThinkOuhiltroe u
In the course of conversation Mr. Crawford
tool : occasion to express in very plain lan
guage his opinion of Hon. Thomas Ochiltroo
of Texas , "This man Ochiltrco , " said ho ,
"is the veriest fraud and humbug. Ho gets
quarters free at the HolTnmn housa
in Now Yorlc on the strength of
Ills loputntion as a story teller
and the advertisement his presence is sup
posed to bo among politicians and prominent
public men. 1 have heard him toll stories ,
und I tinva heard u hundred men who could
do it bettor. They didn't pretend to bo story
tellers either. The fact is that Tom Oohil-
trco is a creation of the newspaper reporters ,
lie know * liow togoton the good side of tno
boys and they have made his reputation for
linn. The other day bo was exhibiting a
check for $ . )0XJ ( ) which ho pretended had
been signed bv .1. W. Mackay , when as a
matter of fact ho couldn't get Mackay's
cncck lor $ . " > 0. I s > imply speak of this to show

Mr James A. Wonoby of Philadelphia is at
the Palmer house with n wild talu of woe.
According to his statement Mr. Wonoby is
flXt.OOl ) worse off now than ho was some low
months ago when ho wont doivn into South
Carolina tr > invest some of bis spare change.
It came about in this way :
" 1 had heard , " said ho , "of the excellent
opportunities for investment in South Carolina
lina nnd determined to co down and investi
gate. I was treated royally. There wore
banquets and drives , fox limits nnd every
thing to make life pleasant for mn. The men
I met enlarged on the magnificent resources
of the state , gave satisfactory explanations
as to why it hadn't boon developed before ,
the war , lack of capital , etc.
"What wo iiced8aidmy friend , "is north
ern capital. Wo'vo got the resources , any
Cod's quantity of ttioin. All wo want is th

everything was apparently all straight.
Shortly after the mouoy hud been paid over ,
however , and I began to make some Improve

cents per aero and they exhibited deeds wltii

that it was the custom to issue patents to the

ion In conversation at the Chicago Press club
ttiat the star of literature is moving toward

das displayed In commercial alfuirs. Writers
whoso reputations extend beyond local boun

but gloom nnd sadness since the club mot the
whist players of this place. For If over a set
of plavers weio completely vn'iqutshed and
"put to sleep1' it was the Omaha club last
night in a contest with but a fragment of the
Duiiison club. For days the air has been
full of rumors of a threatened ad
vance to bo made upon us bv
the great whist giants of Omaha ,
and last evening the rumors wore nil vcrlrted
bv a full battalion of player.s from across the
"groat muddy" swoopiuir down upon us.
After some preliminary skirmishing the
contest began in earnest at the Wilson house
at SyO : p. in. , and continued until the early
morning. To say that Omaha was routed
and completely annihilated is but to express
It mildly. Our hoys are toduv without nn
exception able to bo out on the streets to re
ceive the congratulations of admiring
ft lends , while borne of tbo Omaha players
were so badly "used up" that they were not
able to return homo this morning and riro
bslng treated and cared for in tbo b03t nun-
ner possible bv the victors. If the Omaha
boys are ambitious to win any laurels at
whist they bad bettor puss around Donison ,
for our club understands the gauio and has
the nerve to play it Duiiison Whist Club.
