under the title of the 1'lavors league , and
Htarted out under the Impression that they
could clean up all the lee o chanKO In the
countrr. Base ball was at Its luiihost ftonzv
In tboVo days the players were all KOttini :
railroad president's salaries , the mriRnRtos
were linlnu their coffers with the coin of the
realm and the sport had attained nn altitude
that was slmnly Incredible J The star
players were klnps , nt loist so they thoueht ,
and thoybccamodiisaliblleil over the thought
that other men wnro maUinjf money out of
their ffrcntnojs. They imaKtncd that the
people were dyltiR to pour into their laps all
the money that came in through the channels
of commerce nnd otherwise , so they ( jot to-
KOtor , under the wlso leadership of tbo
worthies nbovo named , nnd resolved to kick
the men who had labored for years at enor
mous expense to elevate the enmo to the
tcndord it had uuppllv rcai-hcd , nut Into the
oold world and whack UD the voluminous
contributions of n fanuntieal pcoplo exclu
sively amonp thomsolvrs.
Thnt was the blow that made base ball
groggy.
The 1'lnycrs league icsullcd in incontinent

that tlme-honorod old hocly , urow

Against the most IrvliiK odds the National

Dcsporato circumstances roqulro dospornto
romedivs , Is a maxim that will admit of no
dispute , nnd tbomonled men and thosuecsin
the pnmo nut. their heads tosother nnd made
a now start , In the shape of ono birr consoli
dated loacuo In the commencement of the
season thnt hus Just closed. And the smill
frv , emboldened nnd encouraged by the firm
attitude of the hie toads iu the middle , inaug
urated the usual quote of side snaps , suun as
the Eastern , Western nnd Now England
loacucs and state and trl-stato associations.
What has boon the harvest ! The big league
emerged from the summer's frost something
Hlto a quarter or u million dollars in arrears ,
while not ono of the lll-managod , go-as-you-
please races on tbo sldo ever reached a
destination. The public hud been nnusoatod
with the ball player , and umnty benches
constituted the crowds inmost of the cities
throughout the season , Baltimore playing to
nooul $15 n dav , andCnic.igo , ouco the inocca
of tbn game , to not much more , while Now
York sorvcil simply as a stop-over station
ou iho big circuit.
Now on top of nil of thU deplorable condi
tion of buso bullical affairs , the supreme court
of tbo crcat slate of Nobraslta comes jogging
nlong in Its airy way and taltos n oracle at
the clorlous old sport after this fashion :
State vs O'KourUo. Exceptions from Lan
caster i-ountv. Exceptions sustained.
Opinion by Mr. Chief Justice Maxwell.
Under the provisions of section ! JU of the
criminal code anv person of 11 years of ago
or upwards who shall on Sunday engage lu
uporling , Pti1. . shall bu fined in the sum not
exceeding { till or bo confined in the county
Jail not exceeding twenty davs or both.
2. Plavlng base nail on Sunday comes
within thn definition of sporting nnd renders
the persons engaging therein liable to tbo
punishment nrovidcd for in section .Ml.
This may bo the opinion of the supreme
court all' well and peed enough , still tt is
doubtful In the ovontof a revival of the sport
in this city , with grounds louitcd on the
suburbs , whether the game would bo inter
fered with or not , The onlv serious objec
tion to Sundav uUvlui ; that has ever boon
advanced in Omaha , Is the unnoynucna it
occasioned residents Immediately adjacent
the grouuds.
But this is not all the supreme court has
dono. Leaving out of the question thu merits
of the nbovo , this august bodv's ' decision
nnont man's nnlilcpt friend , ibo dog , will
meet with the hearty nppioval and commenda
tion of about ovorv nlnoty-niuo out of ono
Hundred citizens. En pasiunt , lot mo romnrk ,
that Omaha , under the auspices of its very
efficient liennol club , recently enjoyed a
magnificent honch show , morn familiarly
yclept dogs how.
That a plcco of property worth anywhere
from S100 to $1,000 Is not property at nil.
whether it bo In the Hhapo of a pluno or
quodruped , has loug been doomed iho
sheerest idiocy by nil men who know nny-
thing nt all. Thut u man could destroy or
steal your $1,000 dog , right In or from your
very doorynru , with absolute impunity , Is nn
assumption thnt attains thu vcrv nemo of
everything that I * unjust nnd preposterous.
Still thnt hus boon so rU-nt bore iu
Nebraska ever slnco Nubrutlta hus been
Nebraska , but through the fnlrnoM and the
wisdom uf the supreme court tlili Injnstlca Is
evidently at an und , for whllo the following
opinion dot's i ot cover tbo case in all Its
pnasoH , It Is indisputable ovidcnco of what
the whole law on thu matter really U , und
