s o Omaha Plays Poor Ball and Hastings Easily Wins the Game, A SBUCCESSION OF BIG ERRORS. The Contest Simply & Horrible Exhibi- tion of Poor Playing—War in the Waostern League — Other Sporting News. Omaha Drops the Game. . The one thing the Omahas need more than another is the services of-an undertaker! As ball players, it seems, they have become barren Idealitics. They have lost all their vim and vinegar, and bat and field and run bases like & lot of basket makers, What are they being fed on? ‘Who's the hoodoo? Burely they are a sturdy looking set of young fellows, tough and indurated with practice and exercise, and undoubtedly have an abundance of ability, Or is it true that all that glitters is not gola? “I'hat must be the stufl. Yesterday afternoon’s gawe satisfactorily exemplified that. Hastings, yes Hastings, whom they par- alyzed and petrified three weeks ago, literally wiped the chalk off the home plate with them, They couldn’t catch, nor they couldn’t bat, and when one did get on a base providenti- ally, it took a derrick to move him, And the Hastings, while they were having A wild and untethered midsummer picnie, arealso an educated and seholary set of juffers, according to yesterday’s statistics, ‘iey would make just ss pood critics of menichino. Raphael and fi'mun as the; are ball players, and could babble color an shade, breadth, depth and size as well as the, master the intricacies of the great national me. n’l‘h-y play with almost the same intrepld- 1ty of ignorance that the Omahas do—only yesterday was their turn to win—they just llw)ly couldn’t lose. they made one error the Omahas would ke four, anc it the Omahas made one run ey’d make three, while the Omahas were prestidigitating with the ball. 1t was a horrible game, and the two or three hundred people who saw it, sat sad and sllent, 1lke Prometheus chained to the bleak and barren crag of untoward eircumstance, nd while consclous of the fires of genius ‘burning within the Omahas, the vulture of nexu“nble fate kept gnawing away at their rts. Will they ever win again? There I8 yet a faint hope. hey play again to-morrow, and should they take the ball it will be like a lilt ot mel- fidy suffusing our lives as the fields are over- looded with the skylarks’ bewildering note. The zame Wsmnhy opened up promis- lnfily. After Walsh and Mclaughlin had . retired, Krehmeyer reached his base on a muff by Reising, and Dwyer brought him in on:lhruvbafgurlo right. Bader dying at hi: the Hastings came In. lllnf wielded the willow and sent a ball rving like an arch of hope in the sky to ci.nughlin, and McLaughlinmuffed it inthe highest style of the art, to use a new expres- * slon. KEbright then sent a similar fly to Bader and Bader even eclipsed Mac’s work, and then, the next minute, when he let Cur- 18’ grounder get by him, the air for a few minutes was thick enough to cut, for Reising and Ebright both ambled home. After this three men were quickly retired, 1n the second, It was one, two, three for Omaha, but the Hastings added another brace of tallies to their side. Walsh opened up the serenade, but was extinguished at first by a circus stop and throw ( Kreh- meyer, After this on \Wehrle’s clean hit, An other execrable muff by McLaughlin, ghe ball going under the new Inside fencs not only did Wehrle score, but Reising, t| tter, too, In the third Walsh bit safe to center, and 'mfollowed by McLaughlin with a two rto same garden, Walsh scoring. But that was all they could do. Hastings, how- -ever, went them two better on one hit and 0 outs, three errorsand a_ beautiful drive for I. =omo run over right field fence by Fatty ‘elsh. In the succeeding nning Messitt made a ..three sacker, and tallled on Bandle’s longz fly o center, starting home atter the ball had settled in Curtis' hands. Genins also got home In this inning onerrors, For the Has- tings Reynolds was hit with the ball, and on Genius’ muft of Peoples’ fly scored, Neither side scored in tho fifth or sixth, strange to relute, but in the seventh Healey happened to hit a three-bagger, and was helped home on errors. For the wmen from the west llughes bunted the ball, Lanman made a two and Welsh a three bagger, Hughes and Laumen scoring. n the qufinu by a two bagger by Dwyer snd several chump blays by Reisiug, Peo- &lu and Curtls, he and Messitt both su b ed {n crossing the \uxmu, The Hastings falled to score, as did the Omahas in the ninth, and thus the beautiful dream faded.

A Big War Cloud. o LaxcorN, Neb, July 9.—|Special to the 2.]—'I'here is a small war apparently in ©'Rne Western league and » manirest desire on *‘the part of the southern towns to run things ‘wiih a high hand. A short time ago I'resi- dent J. H. Throw, of the Westorn league, called a meoting of the league to be held at Lincoln yesterday, and about the same time Beeretary Murphy, of Leavioworth, began to l-m]hc preshlent’s duties blself by call- s ing & meeting and leaving the impression prominent 1n his telegraphic call that the resident himself had changed the call to yenworth, Laboring under this misun- derstanding, a number of the towns in the league assenbled at Leavenworth Friday, towns were represonted oxcept ha and Lineoln. At this illegal meet- ing the six clubs reg‘reunnd roceeded to decapitate President h{ow and they went throu g! operation of eec\lnr Secretary Murphy as President, also making him the president secretary and treasurer and cus- todian,as president, of his bonds as secre- tary and treasurer. The proceeding doubtedly illegal in avor" eature, and if the Lincoln club takes hold of the matter as they contemplate doing It can’t be long until Mr. Murphy will be a fit subject for impeach- ment himself, At the meetiug of represena- tives from six clubs nothing was done re- arding the vacancy in the league caused by ale of Leavenworth franchise to Hast- ngs, bat the lLeavenworth represenative sat in the meeting and represented the defunct club in helping to carry out the schemes.

Con- siderable money was required to pay for grain and provisions delivered on July con- tracts, but no dificulty was experienced In obtalning all the money wanted, at reason- able rates of luterest. Bankers generally in- sisted, however, on wide margins and un- doubted security, Some money was for- warded to the interlor, mainly to corn and live stock districts and chiefly through com- mission houses, The inquiry from the lum- ber interest was fair and manufacturers were only small borrowers. Merchants In the wholesale trade presented some paper for discount and succeeded in obtalning all the favors requested. The liberal shipments of grain and provisions have had a tendency to increase the supply of loanable funds, es- pecially at the leading banking Institutions and the money market is gradually working easier though it is doubtful if interest rates will reach the low average of previous sum- mer. The banks no doubt will be in a more comtortable position than for some time past as stocks of grain will be slowly reduced for some time yet, and consequently less money will be needed in that branch of trade. Kates of interest quotable atg @ 6} per cent. for call and 6 @8 per cent. for time loans, de- pending on the amount of money required and the financial standing of borrowers, Some paper was offered on the street by parties who are not in much favor with the banks. Money at the eastern financlal cen- ters has been in good request and rates of interest though very irregular, during the early part of the week were decldedly higher, ranging in New York at8 @20 per cent., but closing easier at 6 @ 7 per cent. Advices from foreign money markets indi- cated a quict and easy feeling. New York exchange was rather dull early in the week with large offerings and only a moderate demand, and sales were made be- tween banks at 25¢ discount per $1,000° Later offerings were lighter, while the de- mand was more active and the market showed more strength, with sales between banks at 25@50¢ premium per $1,000, closing at 50c premium. Forelgn exchanfe was offered rather freely early in the week, owing to increased ship- ments of fiour and grain, and sales of ship- per's sixty days documentary bills on Lon- don were made at $4.803/@+.81, Toward the close the feeling was steadier, and sales were made at $4.81@}{4.81}¢, and the market closed rather steady. The New York stock market has exhibited little life during the past week and a nery- ous and unsettled feeling prevailed. Wall street operators traded moderately, but out- side parties were not inclined to trade to any extent, the severe break in prices of two weeks ago having had a tendency to curtail outside trading, especlally nmunf small operators. Prices have "ruled irregular withijn a small range and have averaged lower. Farnings of lending railronds still show an increase, but speculators do not seem disposed to follow any upward turn in prices. Forelgn operators traded moderately and at Irl‘»[.;lfiflr prices. Sales on the New York stock exchange for thr week aggre- gated 130,000 shares, ‘I'rading has been only moderately active in produce circles during the week just closed, The opening doy of the month wit- nessed considerable activity, but since that time tradinis has been of loliday character. The delisveries on July contracts, while large in the azgregate, were not as liberal as an- ticipated. The greater portion of property, however, was_transferred, though not all di- rectly, through commission houses, and the great bulk of the grain and provisions no doubt centered in strong hands. ‘The mar- kets In n_general way were dull and drag- sing, and fluctuations in prices were con- fined within'a narrow range. The produce trade I8 generally recovering from the effects of the recent severe declive in the wheay market, and with increased receipts of new grain it is anticipated that a general revival of business will take place. ‘The crops sf small grain are no doubt ex- cellent 1n quality, though the yield is some- what irregular in ditferent sections. The west has boen visited by frequent heavy rains, and the outlook for ‘all crops is more promising than reported two weeks ago. The shipping inquiry foi grain has been quite active and a considerable portion of the wheat and corn accepted on July contracts has been forwarded by various routes to the distributing centers. “The receipts of grain have been light at all the principal western markets. Exports of grain and provisions have been moderately large with prospects that they will be well maintained during the coming two or three months. The arrivals of live stock continue moder- ately free at all western points, The pack- ing of the west Is progressing favorably thoueh the aggregate returns are only slightly in excess of those of one year ago. —_——— Personal Paragraphs.

St. James Gazette: During his first few hours in Gibraltar, an Englishman is deeply impressed with the strength and importance of this the most ancient of our Mediterranean possessions. He walks past long lines of bastions built of massive masonry; he sees guns in every direction —guns lining tLy bastions, guns frown- ing from the tar-famed galleries, guns halt concenlea in the foliage of the Alameda gardens. The whole peninsula appears one vast and impregnable fort- ress. On everyavailable epotisa battery or a barrack, a magazine or a store, # hospital or a prison. There are guards and sentries, pickets and patrols, firing of morning and even- ing guns, locking np of gates, and reg- ulations for the'exclusion of alicns un- provided with ofticial passes; in a word, all the pomp and circumstance, if uot of glorious war, at any rate of vigilant peuce fully prepared to draw the sword at any moment, The stranger of course, hurries off at once to see the galleries, aud here the first impression is gratifying to his national pride. climbs the northwest and north face of the rock by a serics of cyclopean tunnels pierced at intervals by cell-like embras: ures, each of which contains a gun and a pile of ammunition ready for use; while branching off from the main galleries are other tunnels, which lead to powder magazines and stores hewn out of the very bowels of the mountain. Jtis impossible to be struck by the enormous amount of labor which has been expended 1n constructing these vast works, especially those exccuted during the great siege (1779-83)—the thiad at- tempt which was made in the 18th cen- tury to wrest from our hands the con- quest of Rooke, the key of the Mediter- ranean. ‘The views from theembrasures are most picturesque, and at every mo- 2 fresh incident of that the British ison of 6,000 men successfully held own agninst 61,000 French and ish troops, supported by a fleet ot 47 ships in the line. From the western galleries the Bay of Algesiras lies spread out before you, its blue waters dotted with felucea-rigged fishing eraft, but near our shore disfigured by long lines of shapeless hulks on which in stored the coal supply for ourshipping. You proudly think of that memorable day in April, 1782, when, from the Span- ish camp, the French bourbon princ destined 1n a fow rt years to become the pensioners of England, witnessed the tot lure of the bombardment which all Spain had flocked to see, and which it had been confidently pre cted would crush our garrison and win back the rock. o A long steep elimb in mysterious seai- durkness brings gou to a great eavern full of guns; and you look out to the northward over the nish iines into Spaid, with the glorious panoramus of the purple sbarp-peaked mountsins of Ronda stretching far away to the cast- ward toward Malnga. This battery is muany hundred feet above the ses el the chiff out of which it is cutis almost perpendicular. Far below you is the Korth Front, with & line battalion at drill, looking for all the world like little red ants. All this is classic groundr for it is the scene of the greay gortie of November, 1781, when 2,000 British troops sailed forth against the besicging nrm . tacked and destroyed their batt and spiked their most destructive guns.
