. WAS IT CLOSE !
About as close as
from hero to Dos
MoI
I am speaking of
that 100-caso game
between the Con
ventions nnd Non
pareils ot the driv
ing park yesterday
afternoon.
It was a lovely
day for ball playing
and there was a great array of old-timo
cranks on hand to wltnois the sport proba
bly Bomowhero In the neighborhood of a
thousand of them.
Everybody expected to see the two old
rivals get the game by the nape of the neck
and the fundamental basis of the breeches
and yank it all around that half milo track.
They thought It would bo a blood-curdling
battle from start to finish , as the feeling
that has existed botv/oon the two teams all
season has been anything but lamb-like. It
was virtually a scrap between the north end
and south end of the town , and when the
sinoko rolled away It would have boon diffi
cult to locate the south end on the map.
Some thought Shanahan's pets should
have played better ball , but I don't know.
They fought hard and died hard , and might
bo living yet had they been able to baste the
Bcncgamblau at the proper tlmol
Lycurgus pitched a splendid gamo.
So did Jellen. generally , but the Brumma-
Kerns got his range at the wrong time that
Is for the Nonpareils.
Hlmntihnn' * Only Show.
The game began right at the beginning , as
itrangoas that may appear.
Captniu Crelghton opened up by letting
Harry Gntowood's third strike escape into
the bed of lycopodlums in the rear of the
backstop and Harry landed snfo on the first
corner. But a load of coal ran over Artie's
hand yesterday afternoon , nnd of course ho
couldn't be expected to hold everything in
Bight.
Gatcwcod was feeling pretty gay over this
bit of good luck , so ho just dug his heels
into Douglas county and before Artiu could
got the ball down ho was on second. Then
Jack McAuliffe sacrificed him in another
ninety feet , and Tom nnd Jerry Mahonoy's
out ticketed him across the platter.
A large , woll-dellned shout went up from
the panlsnns of the south at this a regular
rebel yell.
Jellon's out from Andrew Jackson Carri-
can to first brought In the Bormingbam
family.
Paddy Dolan lifted ono up to Jack Mc-
AullfTo. It looked big and swollen like a
ripe doughnut , but Jack , having no basket
with him , lot It sink Into the scar and yellow
grass.
Air. Jellen grew quite dlathormnnous over
this decomposed play and lost his head sotne-
ivhero between his shirt collar and cravat
long enough to soak both Stonoy nnd Lawler
with the ball.-
. "He's golu'to kill'em ? " cried a big Brum
from the bleachers ; then as Jollcn missed
the plato by about three yards four times in
succession , and forced in Paddy Dolan , ho
twitched his mouth across his faoo and ox-
clalmcd : "No , ho aiut , he's going to throw
the game ! " " * ' '
And when Coal Oil Jonnny Stonoy ambu
lated homo on Uoblnson's grounder" to Gate-
wood , it was all the crowd could do to keep
him from eating his umbrella.
Lawldr , too , tried to squeeze In on this
play , but Harry killed him at the plate.
Artie , however , got to third.
IinvB Died fur thu Moment.
Jeff Davis then came up , and without much
ceremony swatted ono down to Shanahan.
The captain ia\v it coming , lllco a big , funnel-
shaped cloud , but instead of diving head first
after the sphere like I would have done , ho
stood as still as the big caglo on the Now
York Life. For a brief moment there was a
total abolition of sensation or voluntary mo
tion on Captain Dave's part , but whether
this was induced by a suspension of the
functions of the cerebrum resulting from
congestion or ruptured blood vessels as he
thought of the high old time that hundred
cases would occasion down at Bormingham's
liquid emporium In the evening I cannot say.
Auywny , ho never evinced a sign of lifo until
Davis' hit rolled up against his shins like a
big prko pumpkin. Then ho snatched at it ,
seized it by the throat , choked it until It
was black and blue in the taco , kicked it in
the pants once or twice , then slummed it
over to the waiting Mr. FJynn.
But too late ; when Mclancthum Flyna
drew thu ball to his heaving bosom , Jeffer
son D. was glued to first , whllo Michael
Kclloy Itobinson was in thu same fix ou sec-
Dnd.
Dnd.At
At this juncture loud nnd swelling anthems
uroso from the north on.d.
Amidst the din Kelley toro off third , and
Artio ran homo.
Then there were some more acthoms.
Jackson Carrlcan died as quickly and eas
ily as If ho had been stung by an asp , out on
Bowman's safe punch to right , KobbioKelloi
carried in-ttio fourth tally.
Lycurgus , foxy boy , retired on a little push
to Shanahan , and the south cuds came
back to see what they could do.
Noiip * llrncHil li ) | n Moment.
Captain Dave wa the first "Paroil towlold
. his club , but nil ho could do was to burnt
InrRo warts on the sldo of the atmosphere
and ho foil back to the bench gritting his
teeth like an acrosaurus , a bird that used tc
make Its haoltat down in the Third ward
when Omaha was a bounding prairlo.
Bradford looked wan aud pule , nnd Ly.
ourgus , in sympathy , mnue him a present ol
a bag , and an unturned pitch shoved hut
along to third.
Mr , Lacey , as graceful ns Bacchus him'
self , was the next man to pose before Ly
curgus. There was a mean look in hU eye ,
and when Mlstah Mlllnh unbuoklcd the bal
ho smotu It so hard that It looked like a lint
of bologna as it shot out into the opalesconl
west.
It looked good for the round trip , but sc
agile was young Mr. Lawlor , and so deftlj
did ho handle the maltreated K'obo ' thai
I ice was only able to make second on tin
Biulto , Bradford , of course , coming home.
Hero the south end emitted volumes o
aUsonant sound , They wuro so glad to sec
their young men uut lllio ball players Instcai
of shoemakers.
Big Croft throw out his chest like Hcrcule :
when ho slew the lion on the slupo it
Bocolla ns ho faced Lycurgus , but the bes
ho could do was to trundle a puny , slckl'
llttlo grounder to first. But MIckey Flyni
was made out of different stuff , aud In
Boused the ball like Denver Ed Smith hi
Qoddard , and as thu ball toro its wa
through the odorous hollanthus plants ii
Jeff Davis' garden. I icoy skated borne , am
Mickey maun for ilrst. Of course ho go
there , and would have gene on to second 1
but his coronet fell off during the ( light , am
his halrpcttlntr tangled up with his whiskers
ho was afraid of running out of lino.
It was enough , honovcr. to sot jaws o
the south vud iu motion again.
But the 'ParelU could got no further , a
Dolan llrod Mr. Gatewood out at Unit.
In their half the Brums became toomuc !
interested In the balloon that rose lioavei
' ward from Courtland's surf-washed bead b
uud thoHUamUmns shut 'em out.
ISnrmlngliam Nillcit It tiunn.
- The thin ! and the fourth added nothing 1
th'o 'ParelU crund total , but in theio iunitu
thu Hrums piled up anothur quartet , tlin
in the third and one In the fourth , on a bus
on balls , two loud orron , a hit bv a pltuhc
balluu < 1aUirou-cuihlan drive by IvnlloyUo'
iuson.
In the fifth Corrlguu grabbed up X fet
full of hay Instead of the ball when Cro
Bfnt it down to him , and ho hud to tuako
ii < xor.d tnatvh t it. Ho gal ii ill is time , bt
throw wldo nnd Croft was out of hnrm'n
vrny. Flynn toyed with the brecics.butCJato-
wood plugged her safe , and McAuliffe
slashed out a two-sackor , which resulted in
the most brilliant display of pyrotechnics
during the game. Croft scampered homo on
tnli famous ilrlvo , and Ontowood attempted
to do the same , hut Koblnson made a qululs
return of the ball to Dolan , nnd Dolan ( Ired
it down to Artio and Harry bro. thcd Ills last
within a half foot of homo. But that wasn't
all , for on McAullffo's endeavor to make
thlnl during the melee Artio slammed the
ball back to Paddy Dolnn and Jack's young
llfovent out too.
It was a cront double , and ovokcd the com
bined encore of the crowd
It' * nil OUT Now.
But there Is not much morn to bo told.
The game from this on out went in gobs nnd
minks to the Conventions. Boman made a
beautiful unasilstcd double play in the
clRhth. and In their half MlUo Kelley Hobln-
son , who for a change clayed finely all
through the game , smashed out a homer
with thrco men on bases.
H was n long drive to right , and when the
ball got back It looked fiat nnd Pulpy , like
those uncanny specimens urchaeoloKlsts
dig up In ttio volit'j formations.

Crcodnn mill O repeal in Who .Moot at Itoliy
Tonight tin 12vmi Torni .
Tonight's fight at lloby between Alex
Grcggalns and Dan Creedon should furnish
an evenly balanced contest.
The great disparity in height and reach
which so many of Grepgains' friends harped
on failed to materialize on actual measure
ments , nnd physically the men are moro of a
match than was at first expected. Grcggalns
Is taller by two Inches , but when the men
shape at the call of time in the llrst round ho
will apparently appear to tower over
Crccdou by at least live or six inches. This
will bo caused by their different positions.
Greggains stands up straight , his body ap
peal's to loan toward his opponent. This
bus the effect of making him look
taller than ho really is. Ctcedon seems
to stand more solid on his feet and
from his waist up ho Inclines his body well
back , with his left shoulder higher
than his right. This makes him appear sev
eral inches Greggains' inferior in height ,
when in reality there is but little difference.
In other respects they break oven , with the
exception of the chest measurements. In
which Crucdon has quite an advantage. The
most surprising fact developed by the meas
urements taken was in the length of the
reach possessed by each. Most of the sportIng -
Ing writers have iu their articles of the last
month set off Crccdon's rushing tactics by
.clalmln ? au immense advantage for Greg"-
gains In reach , which statements the tape-
measure has proved Incorrect. Creedon has
riot been endowed Vy nature 'with as long ua
arm as the ox-San Francisco flro fighter , but
makes up the difference In his immense
breadth of chest. Greggains' actual meas
urement from the tips of his fingers with
his arms outstretched as far as possible was
71 inches. Croedon's measurement in the
same position was 70 inches , which gives
Grcggnlns an advantage of one-fourth of au
inch In the reach , while before it was expected -
pectod ho was Crocdon's master in this de
partment by at least two inches.
Creedon always enjoyed the reputation of
being a torritto hitter , a rushing fighter , and
a rapid finisher , while all of Greggains'
victories stamp him a careful , clover and
shifty ring general. Creedon's friends claim
Grccguins cannot hit hard enough to stop
their man's rushes , and in turn the follow
ers of Joe Lewis' protogo say that when
Creedon rushes ho will bo mot with stiff loft
banders that will take the starch out of him.
Both the men's admirers are too enthusiastic
and probably will bo surprised to see that
they are far from being right in their
prejudiced ideus ,

NKWPOIIT , U. I. , Aug13. . The regatt ;
committee of the Now York yacht club ha
awarded the Godot scuoouor cup to th
" schooner Lasca , the second of the schooner
to flulah.
1
The Lasca was regularly entered , whll
the Volunteer was not. Commodore Ma !
colm Forbes wa * greatly disappointed , as
to matter of couno. He has , howuver , hi * ow
lelf to blame for the loss of the tmndiom
so trophy. With lil loiiffj-iiohlingoiporioncoli
cd should liuvo been thoroughly convorsan
ib- with thi fact that all races of the Now Yor
ibrlt Yacht club require written nntrlei , an
rlt that after the entries close , no yacht cau I
ift admliud. Although nn entry for Iho Volui
teer bad been recfilvod when sli

her time , with the idea that Cap
tain Forbes had pcrhatis mailed an
nntry which might have boon delayed , And
dld.not reach the committee. The Volunteer
actually had no standing In the race ns the
entries closed without her name appearing ,
but the committee reserved Us final decision
until Captain Forbes could bo scon , when it
was ascertained that ho had sent no entry.
This is the second time thnt the Volunteer
has caused n ilclav In the award of the
Goclotcup. Two years ngo decision In the

LOS-DON , Aug. 14. The Sportsman this
morning says that Captain Barr of the yacht
Navahoo will return to America" in a weok.
It is reported that the cautnihof llfo Volun
teer has been cabled for "to como bvpr and ,
take charge of the Nilvatioo. in tho..mean
time she will bo commanded by Cnptaln
Drapbr , who has piloted the' Navahoo in all
her races in England nhd was formerly
skipper of the Valkyrie.
According to the Sportsman tlio recent
row ou board the Navahoo occurred Ip this
way : The men were silling-at the aft rail
when an order was given , which was oboycd
very slowly. The last man to rise was re
monstrated with by ono of the gentlemen
aboard the yacht. The seaman spoke back
nnd a long altercation * ensued , resulting in
the gentleman striking the seaman In the
face nnd cutting ito | > on. Thobo.Uswalu"
ordofcd to put the man bolowibufwas ' re
luctant to carry out tho.qnlcr. 'Kv.entually
ho persuaded the man to go. U'lio.sciunnn
refused to accept an apology from tils assail
ant and declared his Intention Urprosuouto
him. Ultimately the gentleman who struck
the seaman settled the matter-by pa.vlnu the
man six months salary , amounting to $70 ,
nnd his passage to Amqrica. The man will
sail for Homo in a day or two.

Ono of the finest excursions thht'overleft
Fremont started out from the Union Pacific
depot at about 2:45 Saturday afternoon , un
der the auspieav of the Fremont Normal
school. The train whs composed of six cars ,
a baggage car and sleeper , and all comforta
bly lllled with excursionists , Ihere being
about 800 tiokets'pold.
The fight between the Union Pacific and
Elkhorn roads for this excursion has been a
moat oarnestaml Interesting ono , and bus
increased in intensity from start to llnisli.
Usually the Elkhonrlias had things its own

and has made them wprk for all they have
received. i < '
Ferguson went after this excursion briRht
nnd oarlv and had really secured it before
the Elkhorn people liad realized that their
Interests were jeopardized. Indeed , Presi
dent demons of the Normal had published
his routes and rales before there seemed to
bo munh controversy. But , behold about
midnight last night a circular was scattered
broadcast and slgno'd' "Nebraska Excursion
Company , " offering to discount the published
rate by $2 , making it $20,50 for railroad
faro , nine nights' lodging anil nine ad
missions to the grounds ; tickets over the
Fremont , Elkliorn & Missouri Valley rall-
"road. These circulars'were mot by demons ,
who asked "who the Nebraska Excursion
company was" andby whom they were
backed * Ho 'offered td nleot all cuts , if
transporiation baa to bo furnished for noth
ing. But the sequel was the Union Pacific
took the excursion , and bunco rejoiced.

The record for July shows Tin : Bun to
have outstripped its would-bo competitor
almost every day. It is necessary to men
tion only a few of the moro important scoops
scored by this paper during the latter part
of last month. People suicided in the city ,
Including two victims of self-destruc
tion whoso bodies were taken to
tlio morguo. A report of these particular
cases was public record , yet the World-
Ilerald never know It until published In Tin :
BEU. These are only u few instances of
recent occurrence.
For instance , during the last two weeks of
July Tin : BUB scooped its sleepy contem
porary twcnty-soven limes on local occur
rences.
The most imoortant of these , as first pub
lished InTiic Bun , Included the following :
Mysterious disappearance of Byron Kulm ;
suicidoof a broken hearted wife on Wirt
street and Sherman avcnuo ; important
change in rate sheets that benefited Omaha
Jobbers ; mysterious disappearance of II.
Mulg.irdt ; suicide of Bosslo AlcNott ; public
exhibition of Turnverein attended by hun
dreds of Gorman citizens ; local story
in connection with the Loavltt divorce case ;
desperate light of Mr. ivIcMullm and wife
with persistent highwaymen on Sixteenth
street ; murderous assault on II. Carlson ;
lowiv girl "confidomjcd" out of $ > [ ) by an
Omaha mushor ; counterfeit gang broken up
by city detectives ; sensational robbery
In North Omaha ; railroad news
scoops too numerous to mention ;
full proceedings of an important meeting of
real estate dealers to discuss the garbage
contract ; cause of Chief Wilson's visit to
Omaha ; conference of city officials on olec-
trio light system ; three columns of
Interviews with Omaha business men
on the topic of local trade ;
interview with Senator Henry M. Teller on
the silver question thnt attracted national
attention ; Important confurencuof organl/ed
labor ; mysterious disanpouranco of Charles
Tednmn. These uro only a few. Space for
bids extended mention ,
Incidentally ape.iklnsr , anothur in
stance of BKU enterprise , which was
exclusive , as usual , was the
quick and complete manner In
which a number of UKI : reporters mot the
two "silver delegate1' trains on d I He rent
roads on July HO. In fifteen minutes at thu
union depot , while the Colorado delegation
to the bluiotulllo convention , was passing
through Omaha unroulo to Chicago , all thu
promUjont delegates , Including the governor ,
ox-govrrriors , ox-congressmen , officers of
the sliver league aud prominent citi
zens of Colorado , were interviewed
on the ull-abaorblng topio of Uver. Three
columns of interviews , caught ou thu lly by
enterprising Hii : : reporters , appeared next
morning , while the World-Herald was in the
throes of Its usual dormancy.
Smaller items of an exclusive nature , such
as hotel talks nnd other ' 'sroopluls" that
have appeared in Tim Iii ! : : , are not counted ,
A comparison of the flies of the two papers
will verify the above list.

moHt OrHiirlcd.
Cmo.ujo , Aug 13. The exposition grounds
were open today , about hair of the usual
force of the bureau of admissions belli ? sta
tioned at the gales. There was nothing of
interest to attract the visitors , and few of
them were at the fair , less , perhaps , than
any day since it was opened. The doors of
the big buildings were open and people only
strolled through to avoid llio rays of the
sun , as there was nothing In the interior
open to view. On thu door of the Indiana
state building was a card bc.irim ; tlio words :
"Tills building not open today , " and other
state houses were locked as securely as this.
The plaisancu was thu only place where the
few attending could interest themselves.
The only event of tlio day was a dinner
served to the members of thu U'hitrchapol
club at the White Home inn by Gcorgo Fran
cis Train.
