Sioux City won the opening tun of the series with Omaha here today by the margin of one run in a contest featured by several weird play". The Champ played the poorer name of the two clubs, but won through bunching four hits on Kail In the first Inning. Clark, the Amei college twlrler. was on the mound for Sioux City and pitched sne of the wildest s;ames of hi" career. In only one Inning did he fall to para a visi tor, but tightened sufficiently in the Pinches to win. He weakened In the ninth and was replaced by Klepner. Hall slabbed for Omaha and but for his fatal weakness In the fourth would have won easily. Omaha started to score In the first round. Nlehoffs easy pop-up was dropped by Clark and the third-sacker was scored, while the twirler passed three mora men. With the bases full and two men down Kn eaves whiffed. In tho fifth Thomason singled and was scored by Hchoonover's double. Two more were passed, but Hall struck out. ' A nlnth-lnnlng rally threatened to win the game for Omaha. Thomason walked and was scored by Kane's double. He waa forced home as Klepfer walked Kneaves. Lynch and Williams were re tired on a double play and Moore struck out while Schoonover was attempting to steal home. Four timely hits In the fourth scored that many runs for Sioux City. Stem Was walked In the fifth and scored when Scan Ion booted Hartman's grounder. Three runs for Omaha and one for Sioux City came as the result of wildness of pitchers. Score: SIOUX CITY. . AB. It.

CINCINNATI. Aug. 31. Whether or not the American association will withdraw from the national agreement and declare war on the major leagues Is now up to the members of that organisation, the Na tional Base Ball commission having de clined all Its demands at a meeting held hero today. The commission gava the American asso ciation until September 10 to answer whether they will operate under the na tional agreement. At the same time the commission made it plain that If the asso ciation decides to withdraw from the na tional agreement organised base ball would continue to flourish in th eelght cities of the association. When President Chivington of the Amer ican association learned of the decision of the commission he would not say . what action his organization would take. President Cavanaugh of the Southern league, the only other Class A league. Is on a train headed for Cincinnati and while no official word has come from him, yet it is believed that he will take a stand similar to that of the Kastern league. President T. J. Chivington of the Ameri can association and W. R. Armour, presi dent of the Toledo club of the American association appeared before the National commission today and formally submitted the demands of the American association. Many Base Ball Men In City.

Among the more prominent here now are: Charles W. Murphy of the Chicago Na tionals: James McAleet, manager of the Washington club; Dr. Carson, president of the Central league; President S?xton of the National Association of Minor Leagues, and J. II. Farrar, its secretary; Tip O'Neill of the Western league, T. J, Chivington, president of the American association: W. R. Armour of Toledo, Kd Barrow, presi dent of the astern league, and Owner Wagner of the Terre Haute club of the Central league. Demands of t mrrli au Association. President Barrow of the Eastern league is due here today, and it is said will ask for the sannp concessions the American association seeks. The demands of the American association are: Five thousand dollars for each player drafted from the association by the Na tional or American leagues. A classification different from any league now in the' national agreement save the Kastern league. Only one man to be drafted from a club each season, as is now the case. j Tha right to take all cases or appeals direct to the national commission without interference or jurisdiction on the part of the National Association of Minor Leagues. In return the American association will agree to regard contracts and reservations of the other leagues and to waive tha drafting righta on minor leagues now held by It. buying all players direct from major or minor leagues. Members of the commission said that by tonight they will be able to give out juat bow much they will concede to tha Amer ican association.

In two crunliing matches In the cham pionship singles Wednesday morninp waa shown more good tennis and speedy plsv Ing than all. the rest of the week. Herbert Davis defeated Ouy Heckett after losing the first two gets of the five-set mstrh and Russell Larmon. tho li-year-old player of the tourney, surprised the gallery bv trimming Lawrence Bushman, considered as one of the strongest players of the tournament, and picked by many of the critics as a possible man In the finals. Beckett started out In his match with Davis like a whirlwind, taking the first two, 6-3, 8-6. From that point on, how aver, he seemed to go to pieces and during the rest of the match Davis led with ease, annexing the last three sets straight, S-l, 6-4, 6-0.
