WESTERN ASSOCIATION STANDING.
Following is the standing of the Western Association clubs up to
and including Thursday's games:
Without this the score would have only been tied, and of course
we win all tied scores.
The same kind of luck has been haunting Mr. Lookabaugh in
every game he has pitched.

'Have you noticed that Lookabaugh has hard luck. On Wednes
day with two men on bases, Lawrence knocked a hot one that Farm
er Bill would have pulled down had he been slightly elongated; and
then to make it worse the ball lost itself in the grass and Mike
was credited with a homo run instead of a two-bagger.
"Is that so," siid Mr. Hallett as the reporter finished express
ing his views con rerning diamonds, which were that they will de
crease materially in price within the next few years. "Now that's
what most people think about the diamond that it is getting com
mon and consequently less valuable. Let me read you an article
clipped from one of our leading magazines not long ago. The ar
ticle speaks of the different diamond mines in South Africa, and
says further; "Since that time all of the above diggings have been
consolidated into the famous DeBeare Syndicate, which controls
nearly the entire diamond output of South Africa. The syndicate
which was formed in 1888 with a nominal capital of 820,000,000, has
done much toward giving a stability to the diamond marKet and
placing values upon a fair and equitable basis, from which there
is little likelihood of any material fluctuation. In conclusion we
would say that there is no danger of the diamond ever becoming
common. It has been placed by nature in lands difficult of access
and is likely always to remain a royal gem." Mr. Hallett then
showed us his very large collection of diamonds, among which
were some of the prettiest we have ever seen. The prices, too, are
more reasonable than one might suppose.
That Tired Feeling
Is a dangerous condition directly due to deplete or impure blood.
It should not be allowed to continue, as in its debility the system is
especially liable to serious attacks of illness. Hood's Sarsaparilla is
the remedy for such a condition and also for that weakness which
prevails at the change of season, climate or life.
Lincoln will be first place when the club leaves for the long trip.
Dave Rowe still continues to rule the association like an autocrat.
Tomorrow's game will be played in Omaha, and it will be a miracle
alone that will save the game for Lincoln particularly if the afore
said Rowe chooses the umpire.
The clubs in the national league have tumbled around merrily of
late. The "Colts" have won two out of three games from Boston
this week; and Cincinnati did the same with New York while Pitts
burg has fattened off Baltimore.
It looks to me as if the managers understand their business of
making base ball interesting to the public better than they did a few
years ago. The clubs keep nearer together, and the uncertainty is
what keeps interest from flagging.
A few seasons since when the pitchers had more advantage
and he scores were kept down below five most of the time the game
became too scientific and the public wearied of it. Every year some
change is made which makes pitching more difficult this year the
distance from the box to the plate was increased.
- You can never have a really good complexion until the impurity is
cleaned from your blood. What you need is a thorough course of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which is absolutely free from all harmful in
gradients, and therefore, perfactly safe.
