DES MOINES' Omaba Bunches Her Hits and Comes Off Victorious in the Most Ex- citing Game of the Sea- son So Far. Western Association Standing. The close of the second week's playing of the Western association pluces Omaha at the head of the list. The differcnce between the home team and Des Moincs is very small, the brilliantly won game of yesterday reduc- g the Prohibitionists average from 1,000 to 57, and increasing the home team’s figures from .857 to .877. Much depends on the re- sult of the games to-day and Tuesday. Should Omaha win the series Des Momes will have 10 play ball right along to get at the top again, Giving Omaha one of the two games to be pluyed, she will still hold the lead. But_the two teams are so evenly matched that it is hurd to tell which will hold the edge at the end of the first month’s play. Kansas City ranks third with the others in the order us given below: The following the Western cluding ble shows the standing of ssociution teams up to and in- psterday’s games: Playea Won Omaha p . 7 Dt'( bh)llll‘l . 7 6 City.... .

What a lovely lambasting Omaha gave the groat Prohibitionists on the local ground yes- terday afternoon. And in the presence of four thousaud peo- seat on the bleaching boards, both the north and west wings, in the grand stand and the lady's unnex, was occupied, while the extreme fields were a sea of buggies and carriages. Itwas a grand sight, a grand crowd, and oh, my, what enthusiasm ! You coulan't hear yourself think, and when, after a long, hard, uphill struggle, Owaba overtook and tied the lambs from Towa, the uproar was deafening, and when they passed them on Annis' masterly smash for two bags, it was pandemonium indeed Captain Quinn had all of Des Moines strength out, with Smith in the box and Trafiiey behind the bat Duriug the preliminary practice they pranced and cavorted and gamboled about like real yiddy things. Monkey Holliday and Stummy Smith were especially hilarious. ‘Phoy thought they had a snap, but, ob, mw countrymen, what s fall!

But they quickly subsided, for the oldes 1 in the world, Orator Shafer, hit a long fly to the nimble Annis, and the puffed up Hollida fanned out like an amateur. It was Omaha’s turn to howl. Sho did i The home team didn't get a ball outside the diamond in the sccond, O'Conuell, Miller and Shannon retirmg in quick succession. The absteminous contingent from across the river couldn’t do any better. Macullar flew out to Burns, Alvord struck out and Van Dyke turaed up s toes from Lovett to O'Connell, Again in the third it was one, for the Omahas; Doran going out frem M: cullar to Stearns, and Lovett and Wilson wildly slashing' away at the atmosphere three times cach, Then Traftley, once a member of the famed U. P.’s, also agitated the air once, twice, thrice, and sat down: Smith was out on Do raw's throw to first, but Stearns, what did he dot Why, he walked right up the plate, swung his bat once or twice, then smashed one of Mr. Lovett's cannon-shot balls for a clean home run—clean because the sphere tumbled among the carriages crowded to- gether in the extreme corner of the grounds. Had the ficld been clear, it would have been a three-sacker only. How the Des Moines by welkin ring! It was p make such a fuss ove one run.

But it was no us O'Connell immediately went out at first. Tn her half Des Moincs lengthened her lead by another run. Shafer hit for two bag: the Cyclopean Holliday struck out for the second time, but Macullar's drive to Doran was muffed, and Shafer came clear in on Doran’s throw to cateh Macullar at second. Alyord and Van Dyke's outs retired the side. Again in the fifth was it one, two, three for Omaha, and their prospects’ wers growing more discouragivg every moment. Tn their half Trafley died from pitcher to first, and Smith from " third to first. Then O'Counell very coudescendingly muffed Do rans throw of Stearn’s hit, and the latter in- Qividual reached the buse in safety, He stole second, but Quinn struck out and the 4gony Was over.

But when Miller followed with the third two-bagger m succession, the crowd fairly went mad, for O'Counell ‘went home and the score was tied.

The game of cricket is bound to become a popular one in this city this year. The Omaha Cricket club was first organ- ized in the spring of 1856, and the ensuing summer witnessed several decisive victories over both local and other teams, notably those of Lincoln and Hastings. t year the club wus compelled to be rather inactive, owing to the loss of a number of ZJprominent, members through change of residence, ete,, 80 that beyond the almost weekly contests, recorded in the daily papers at the time, between the “Randellites” and “Quidnuncs’ or “*Nondescripts,” both of which teams be- longed to the Omaha Cricket club, and an oc- casional victory over the “St. George's,” no watches of any importance were played.
