Dill Trnffloy Jumped right on to 1)111 Rourko
th $ moment they got Inslilo tlio lot yesterday ,
ftnjl the fight that ensued was a rattler.
Llko giants they wrestled to and fro for a
fc * moments , then Traflley got Uourko down
anil wallowed him around on the moistened
earth awhllo like a bull dog would wallow a
ra { terrier.
Papa finally regained his feet , but he was
a lorry spectacle. Ilia handsome face was
splotched with mud , ono car gene and both
cyei In heavy mourning , while his natty gray
uniform was nothing short of an assemblage
of rags. Hut ho waa dead game and went
right at Traf again Just as It ho had been
brought up on that sort of diet. And myt
how they did struggle and writhe and twist.
A cat fight couldn't bo mentioned In the
same day. Now Itourko was on top , now
Traf ; then they'd roll bvcr and over , scratchIng - '
Ing , punching , ) biting and gouging like rav
enous beasts. ' So terrific was the battle ( fiat
at times you couldn't tell Uourko from Traf-
flcy. Their entwined and convoluted bodies
looked as If Incorporated Into one , and It
Wiis anybody's fight until suddenly , In an
Ill-starred moment , Traflley rammed our
Dill's head clown Into the soft earth about a
fodt , and began to kick him In deeper , when ,
llko a flash , he arose , only , however , to re
ceive a rap on the jaw that keeled him over
as dead as If he had been hit In the head
With a mallet.
OUR DILL'S ABNEGATION.
Just before the scrap opened up , Durrell ,
the youth who did the catapulting for Trnf
floy , offered to glvo the game to Hourke , but
Papa drew himself up In all his altltudlnous
pride and replied :
J'No , my little man. I appreciate the
kindly motlvo which has prompted you to
offer me this small tribute to the esteem In
which you hold mo , but I cannot accept It.
I'd , rather see myself lying dead before mo
than accept , aye even as much as a chew
of flno cut , from any man , woman .or child
bearing the vaguest propinquity to Dill Traf-
fley. No , Harry , mo boy , go In an' do your
best , and we'll knock the conceit out of you
in { hunks blggcr'n Mike Lawerence's gall. "
Then with the strldo of a proud and
haughty aristocrat our Dill told his men
to go In and do their worst.
And that Is Just what they did do their
worst. For despite the fact that young
Durrell did some of the wildest pitching
.that ever came out of a swamp , they couldn't
tic ? a thing to him , and seeing that they
couldn't get their base any other way , he
gave It to them no less than twelve time } ,
and , would you believe It , but ono man out
of * that whole dozen scored.

the crank'n life , ( or they nlmost Invariably
icnult In runs. Uut-not o yesterday , for
the Itourko family rhn bases llko a. .lot. of
vagn on the chnln ganR ami batted the ball
with the JildcoiiR ferocity ot a man cutting
cheese with nn ax.
And all the afternoon Papa was beside
himself , In fact so near to himself was ho
several times that ho could have stretched
forth tils hand and stroked his own fur.
I never saw a madder man than Pa was ,
especially In the eighth Inning when Fear
had reached flnt base on n radiant drive ,
and then got caught just llko any
common stock yards fat head. Pa shot a
glance at him that would have broken a
plate glass window. The corners of his
mouth hung down llko a striped horse
blanket , and If ho had had a gun I believe
he would have used It.
And In the Inning just before he. wan hot ,
EO hot that the steam arose In clouds from
his heated brow every tlmo ho lifted hit lid
for a little fresh nlr. That was when the
uniplro , King ( Jalfncy Haskcll , called McVey
< ' out at drat on his lovely tap Into right field ,
and which Dutchy Hoffman scooped up and
fired to McFmldcn just as Qeorglo sunk his
talons In the bag.
That out not only retired the side , but It
beat us out of two runs , ns Sccry and Mun-
yun , who had previously made hits , came
home.
SOME THINOS AGAINST THE UMPIRE.
Thoie were the two runs Pa wanted most.
They tied the score , and when ho saw them
float over the plate he gave n sharp , quaver
ing cry of joy , and fluttered llko a great ,
big , double-jointed moth around a candle.
Then , when Ilaskcll got In his work. Pa
fairly blew the foam off of things. Ho ran
over and grasping hold of ono of Jack's cars
with both hands , ho pulled It down to his
mouth atid poured It full of flowery and
passion-breathing oratory. Demosthenes , In
his wildest delirium , wadn't half as elo
quent.
Hut Papa mil wasn't the only warm man
there was there , for Grandpa , Traffley , In the
ninth Inning , when Haskell called lloxendalo
safe at first , when ho was out by half a mile ,
acted up awful. A man having a cataleptic
fit In a crowded motor car couldn't have
caused greater excitement than did this Irri
table old man from the soldiers' home. He
fairly gnawed a hole through the center of
the jrrand stand , and spat greatr big spikes
and old horseshoe nails out of hU mouth
just llko BO much licorice root. ,
Of course the Ilourke family were tickled
to death , and It was plain to bo seen they
meant to rescue themselves If possible. But
It wasn't In the cards. Seery , whoso thoughts
wcro far nway with that old St. Louis sweet
heart of his , pujhed a little one dowrr to
Michael Angelo'Lawerence , and ho and Httla
Boxcar were doubled up like a folding bed.
Just as I was leaving the grounds I saw
Papa Bill with his children all assembled
close about him. He was lifting his voice
up In both hands and gesticulating ener
getically with his neck , and you may rest
assured he was telling them no He. But I
do not bellevo in these parades of authority.
Better that Papa led his boys away to the
wild woods when the day was done and
there , In the last pink rays ot the slaffi col
ored sun , with the fragrant flowers nodding
about them , chloroform them with a club.

LINCOLN , June 9. ( Special Telegram to
The Bee. ) St. Joseph's proverbial ninth In
ning luck was all that saved the Missouri
boys from a shutout at the hands of the
Lincoln team this afternoon. Jasper John
son , who occupied the box for the locals ,
held the visitor. * down to one lonesome
hit until the eighth Inningin the mean
time striking out seven men. tln.Uie eighth
he let down , and thi > visitors helped them
selves to two hits. In the ninth a single ,
a double and three men' sent to first on
wldo ones gave St. Joe the only runs she
got. During all this time Lincoln made
seventeen clean hits and thirteen runs ,
nine of which were earned. Both teams
go to Grand Island for an exhibition game
tomorrow , during which Lincoln will pre
sent a new pitcher named Klmcrer , a local
plaver with an excellent amateur record.

NEW YORK , Juno 9. A finer day and a
finer track could not have been desired for
today's racing at Morris Park , and the
excellent card brought a large attendance ,
probably greater than ever before this
year , and the racing was excellent. The
chief Interest was In the Toboggan Sllat
handicap , In which the best sprinters In
America were engaged. The other feature
ture was the Larchmont stakes , in which
Gotham , the top weight , did not start ,
and Kemuui was a 1 to 2 shot. The Morris
pair , Mirage and Paladin , led all the \yixy
and It looked an If the former had a sure
victory , but she stepped on something and
pulled up lame. Paladin then went out
and won the race. Counter Tenor was not
anywhere near as good 'as ho was at
Gravesend. Results :

Good Struggle nnd'u'-TIo Between Two
Well Mitt'clioU' Elevens.
For the first tlmV Buying all the years
that cricket has Beeir1 played In Omaha
the outcome of a amc' has resulted In a
"tie. " It was play 'f 'yesterday afternoon.
4 .Messrs. E. Stringer and A. D. Robb were
the .captains of thL wo elevens , and the
former havlng otyoji.Jthc ) Vtoss" decided to
' " '
bat' first , , . ritnin.
. Messrs. A. Gavin , , and .H. Lawrle opened
the Innings -for their side and faced the
bowling of Messrs. G. H. Vaughan and
A. D. .Robb. Mr. Gavin , who seemed to
bo in his best form , soon got to work' und
made It lively for the fielders. He hit
freely and with good judgment , nnd before
ho had the misfortune of stepping1 out of
his ground to make one of his sensational
hits ( thereby giving1 Taylor' the chance to
"stump" him ) , he had put up the very
respectable score of 18 runs.
McPherson , who came next , was dis
posed of by Vaughan before he could do
anything , nor was It until the advent of
New that things began to look up. Thi-
batsman played a faultless Innings for 21 ,
during1 which he achieved a few drives
which would have done no discredit to a
Hornby or a Grace In their palmiest days.
The Innings closed for G5 runs , which ,
without being a very large score. Is a
fairly respectable one , considering
Vnughan , "the demon , bowler of the west , "
had something to say In It. '
After a slight' Intermission Robb's eleven
undertook the defense. Messrs. Taylor
and Vaughan opened the ball for their
side , and the way that the former 'started
In conveyed the Impression that he was
going to do the proper thing for his side
"oft his own bat. " This , however , was
not to be , as , although ho covered hlmseli
with glory nnd made a quarter of a century
for his side , the fates were working
against the cause under which ho was en
listed , and his best efforts could not attain
more than a "tie. ' '
Among others who contributed most to
ward the C3 made by the whole side , were
Rev. J. P. , D. Lhvyd and .Messrs. Hart ,
Johnson , W. Gavin , Robb ami Cookson.
The last wicket fel ) for G5 runs , and the
most remarkable match In the annals ot
Cricket In Omaha was brought to a close.

Many Lovers of Rnrket and llall Work to
Compute. In tl. pfomlnc Contest.
Moro enlrles ha e , ) ; en received for the
Omaha Lawn Tennis club's tournament ,
open to all residents * In the city , than had
been hoped for. 'No ' lower than twenty-
five men entered for the singles nnd most
of these are In thi/'VIbUbles / ' also , this event
compilslng ns many aaithlrtcen pairs. Even
the mixed dqublciw which was put on the
card 'very much liv Jha WQy Qf nn experi
ment , has proved quite an attraction , and
an even dozen gentlemen have found lady
partners.
The handicapping- of necessity been
on a very rough | ind ready principle , for
the reason that HO many of the players
nro unknown to those who have the affair
in charge , In the singles there are but
three classes , thosa-who owe 15 ( Austin und
Culllnghnm ) , those who start at scratch ,
and thone who receive 15. For the benefit
of those who are not familiar with the
system of handicapping It may be ex
plained that when 15 is owed the llrst point
made In each KOIIIO won by the man receiv
ing such odcU bring ) ! his score up to 30.
In other words. If a man receiving 15 met
n man owing 15 the score at the commence
ment of each game would be , not love-ull ,
but 15-owe-15 , or owe-15-lD , according us
the case might be.
In the doubles there Is no handicapping
other than that two pairs who are con
ceded to be several points ahead of anyone t
ono clsu who have entered are placed at
15 behind. They are Culllngham and Cook-
BOII , timl C. H. Young und Hey Austin.
In the nilxcU doubles every pair stands 4
on the same footing1 , nnd thcro Is consid
erable question ns to which ono will come
out on top.

COLUMBUS , 0. , Juno 9. The committee
of coal operators who are hero today to con
fer with committees representing the miners
went Into executive session at 9 o'clock.
The Joint meeting was held later In Lyn
don ha1. ! . J. U. Serbo of Cleveland , an operator -
orator , was made chairman , and William
Warner , a miner , secretary , with Frank S.
Brooks of the operators as assistant. The
Joint commltte appointed as a committee on
scale of wages Operators P. L. Robblns and
William Taylor , Pennsylvania ; A. L. Sweet
and K. T. Ilont , northern Illinois ; W. 3.
llogcl and J. S. Tnlloy of Indiana.
On the part of the miners the scale corn-
nil tteo Is composed of John Mcllrldo of
Ohio , P. II. Pcnna of Indlani , Joshua
Dlnkcrly of Pennsylvania , James M. Murray
of Illinois , Cameron Mlllor of Ohio , A. A.
Adams of Ohio and John II. Kearns of In
diana. ,
The meeting U small because of Its being
composed of representatives. The oper
ators represent over two-thirds of the bi
tuminous coal Holds In the United States.
Moro than half of the minors are repre
sented.
Western Pennsylvania , Ohio , Indiana and
northern and eastern Illinois Is the territory
represented by operators. The representa
tives of Ohio operators are : II. L. Chap
man , Jackson district ; J , S. Morton , W. S.
Cotirtland and C. Marvin , Hocking district ;
J. LI. Serbo. A. Q. Blair and A. R. Woodford ,
eastern Ohio.
Western Pennsylvania Is represented by
M. H. Taylor , V. L. Robblns and John
Dlythe ; northern Illinois by W. II. Holcomb ,
A. L. Sweet , Harry Taylor , 13. T. Hurt , S.
M. Dalsell ; Indiana by W. S. Hogle , J. K.

Ingle , I Kcnner and J. S. Tallcy.
The representatives of the miners are all
shown on the scale committee.
R. H. Johnson asked at the opening If this
wai a meting- the various districts. Mr.
Chapman replied that It was. but he was
anxious to have all persons present who
were Interested In the coal business and that
the general public should know all that was
said.
said.The
The rules of the Cleveland convention were
adopted for the use of this convention.
Mr. Morris of Cleveland , understanding
that the meeting was suggested by the min
ers , asked to hear from them.
In response John McBrldo said the usual
plan was to appoint a scale committee , but
before doing so the miners desired to hear
from the Pennsylvania operators as to what
Interests ware represented and what Influ
ence any split among them might have.
M. H. Taylor has accepted the Invitation
to como hero with the understanding that
the miners have receded from the position
they held at Cleveland. Sixty-three Pitts-
burg operators favored settlement , fifty-
three were opposed. Out of this number
fourteen represented miners In the big vein
district , who would not pay the same prlco
as other operators. It was not fair that they
should. However , If a fair agreement was
reached thirty-four of the opposing mines
would Join the sixty-three In accepting the
scale. Colonel Sweet said Illinois would
stand by any rcasonablo agreement made at
tlila meeting.
The scale committee , as above noted , was
then appointed andtlio , meeting adjourned
until 4 p. m , to. glvo tho. scale committee
time to work and operators tlmo to confer
with each other.
An Indiana man said his state would stand
by any reasonable proposition. There Is a
feeling that an adjustment will bo reached.
It Is known , that men on both sides are willIng -
Ing to agreeon 69 cents per ton for the
Plttsburg district , CO cents for the Hocking
Valley and other districts in proportion.
The miners- however , will try to have that
scale adopted for summer , with an advance
of 5 cents for winter.
The committee did not report at 4 o'clock
p m. as Was1exyccted , and after waiting
until C o'clock , them cetlng adjourned until
8 p. m , , when the scale committee asked for
still further tlmo , and the meeting ad
journed till Monday morning.

KANSAS CITY , Juno 9. Only a small
minority of operators came to this city to
day to moot the miners. None of the Kan
sas miners are represented , as the mines In
that state are all in operation. The opera
tors state they will concede nothing , and
the miners are firm In holding out for their
demands.
It was after midnight when the conference
adjourned. No decision had been reached ,
but the consensus of opinion among the
delegates Is that tlio strike will bo settled
at tomorrow's meeting , both sides having
made concessions.
MEUCCIl , Pa. , Juno 9. A conference of
coal operators and miners Is being held here
this afternoon. Minors' delegates are pres
ent from Stoneboro , Butler , Newcastle , Wam
pum , Jackson Center , Hall shaft ami Sandy
lake. A number of operators are also pres
ent. A conciliatory feeling prevails.
LATUOBK , Pa. , Juno 9. Up to noon the
conference between the miners and operators
of this district had failed to materialize so
far as the latter were concerned. Only ono
operator , M. A. Preston , came and ho re
mained but a very short tlmo.
NEWCASTLE , Pa. , Juno 9. The minors'
delegates of Lawrence county loft for Mercer
today to attend a conference of operators
and minors. It Is the general Impression
that the strike Is off so far as Lawrence ,
Beaver , Butler and Mercer counties are con-
corned.
ALTOONA , Pa. , Juno 8. The conference of
operators and miners of the Central Pennsyl
vania region loday struck a deadlock at the
outset. All ot the operators and miners
are represented. The operators expressed a
willingness to confer with the miners as
Individuals , but not as an organization. Dis
trict President . .Bradley told the operators
that the result of the conference would
have to be referred to National President
McIIrlde. The operators say this was not
the understanding. The miners went to the
hall engaged tor the conference and waited
for the operators lo put In an appearance.
The operators has appointed a cdmnilttoo lo
confer with the minors.
Harry Borwynd ( speaking for the oper
ators , says they came to meet their miners ,
who are not hero. The operators will not
consent to be governed by what Is done in
other districts or by what may be determined
by President Mcllrlde. The operators are
willing .to do anything that Is reasonable 1
to end the strike. The prlco of mining has I
