THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: IMONDAY, FOUR SCORES IN THE NINTH. Proceded By Throe of the Same in the Seventh. THEY'RE THE STORY OF DEFEAT. After Securing a Lead of Eight Runs the Local Uncertainties Allow the Milwaukee Men to Beat Them. Milwaukee 10, Omaha 0. In the magniloquent language of the boy on the street yesterday afternoon’s game was rotten, In fact it was in such an advanced stage of decomposition that everybody thought some- thing had crawled under the grand stand and died. Of course Milwaukee won, but mind you, she shouldn’t have done so. Had the game been played as an average game is—with an error here and there—Mil- ‘waukee might have got a run or two. But 80 long as she got ten you can form your own idea of the sort of flelding Omaha did. It was certainly pretty ragged—a good deal raggeder than the score indicates. The game opened up in a manner that led the 3,000 spectators present to believe that the Omahas had a snap, In fact one brash young man rose up in the grand stand and cried out: “Oh, what a pudding 1 He must have meant Omaha. Our old friend, the Poet, opened after a fashion he has acquired of late by smashing the ball out to right field for a single. A spasmodic whoop rent the air. Then that giddy bird, the Chippey, shook his tail feathers ominously and faced Mr. Grifith, club in hand, Grif knew bi d he steadied himself for one of his prize curves. The next momont the sphere shot like a flash toward Mac. His bat cleared the air with a swish and collided with the leather. It produced a sound like the explosion of a glant fire cracker. For a second no one saw the ball, then it was descried cutting ihe air like & thing of life way out in the left center over Lowe the poor In- dian’s head. It was a fine three bagger and for a few moments the uproar reminded one of the ex- citing days at the opening of the season. Jack Crooks kept up the good work by whanging a nice one o center. He went 1o second on a wild pitch, but was put out try- to make third on an error, Cooney got his basc on balls, and O'Con- nell’s lovely three bagger sent' lum_ ambling racefully home. A woment later P, O. fol- lowed suit on & passed ball, Anuis, too, was fu sented with first, and neatly stole second. He was left, however, us Mills froze to Tebeau's foul tip aud Nagle flew out to McCaby Kverybody was satisfied. pleaty for the first inning. It was at this juncture that that very young man snnounced to the congregation at there was a_pudding somewhere in the immnediate vicinity. No one knew where just then, but they found out later in the game, In their half the visitors took an egg. ‘The second innings was uneventful, but ‘what another large time there was in the third. Mr. Crooks, emptying his maw of about a nickle's worth of well-masticated tobacco, waus the first batter up. After something less than a half hundred fouls, ‘‘he caught der ball in der mug’ and swiped her elean out to the carringe gute for & houe run. | body grave a shout for Jack Cooney ot his base by grace of an error by McCabe, and stole second by skating in undor the same player on his vest buttons. Mr, O'Connell, who is again hitting like Mr. O'Connell of last May, sent him n astride a corking two-sacker. Anuis, who seemed suffering with an at- tack of inertia, cut three great wide swaths in the hazy air, and returned to the bench, Patsey Tebeau quickly took his place. “Pick out a good one, Oliver,” Crooks. “Watch me,” returned Patsey. ‘Then he smashed her, And before the ball could be flelded back into the diamond the young man had made the circuit and was quenching his thirst at the water barrel. Right here the Omahas quit, and right here Milwaukee begun, It was in the last half of the fifth they made their initial tally. McCabe hit to conter for three cushions and scored on Mills’ hit. But who cared for one little, puny, nar- row-chested, consumptive run, Nobody. In the sixth the Omahas did nothing, but the visitors gobbled up another score. “‘Big, fat Jakey Strauss”’ made a hit to center, and went to second while Billy Annis awmusxd himself fuzzling the ball. On Walsh’s out he ran to third, and on Maskrey's scored. There was no profit in the seventh for the home team, but the Milwaukees again made & singlo run. After Grifith and Wilson had successively anned out, Mills got to first on a nasty little bunt. He stole second, and on Hawes’ liner 10 left, ran home. Althiough three runs were in no one felt in the leastwise apprehensive, Again, in the eighth, Omaha failed to dis- finguish herself, but in their half the Bud- ‘Wiessers sent a tremor of nervousnecss through the grand-stand. ‘They made threc runs. Lowe, lhmlwl' Indian, took second on the Poct's 'mufl of his' high fly, went o third ~on Jakey Strauss’ two bagger, and scored on Walsh's hit, as did also Strauss, Walsh reach second on Annis’ throw in to cutoff Jakey. Then he stole third, and came home on Muskrey’s out from Cooney to O'Councll. The suspicion was so ludicrous that Omaha could yet be beaten that the audience fairly howled in mingled disgust and derision, Iu the ninth McGarr led off with a hit. Then electrificd everybody by stealing sec- ond and thigd in quick succession, Crooks struck out, but on Cooney's hit Chippey got home. The next two batte was left, For the visitors Grifith started the ava. lanche 1o their hall by lining out a single to left. Mills flied out to O'Connell and the base runncr took second. Hawes sent him home on a flne drive to loft cen ter for @ couplo of bags. A assed ball put on H s on third, and Lowe was given a Lift by Burns' mufl, while [awes came home. Strauss made & hit and two men were on the buses and the air was full of anathemas. Mr. Joseph Walsh now happened along and made himself couspicuous. Howt ‘Why, by smashing one of Lovett's slow balls clear out among the left field carriages and winning the gaue, Lowe and Strauss both came home on the drive and 80 could Joe, but the moment Strauss crossed the plate the gamo was over, sad Walsh gets credit with a three bagger oul ‘asn’t that awfult Now let your lachrymose orbs dwell pige- Ously upon the ofticial score: Four runs are cried s went out and Cooney = = corcwmmenE comcrrmwes ccorcwonot worBrworE EE TS 4 @ B . ol mecocwmonr?

The flelding was strong ana every- ody got on to Duryea's pitching, Cart- wright sent the ball over the left ficld fonce, the second time this has been done on these grounds. Duryea was wild and weak, and ‘was batted hard, Swartzel was in good form and kept the visitors down close. The visi- tors played rather listlessly and could not master Swartzel's curves at all. The play- ing of I{roug‘hmn was good, but he is being worked too hard. The last game was called at the end of the eighth inning to permit the St. Paul team to catch the train.

HOOL & CO., o8, Lowell, Mass, 100 Doses One Dollar THE DRUMMERS HAVE A DAY, ' Hchoes From Their First Demon- stration in Omaha. TWO INTERESTING ADDRESSES. What W. V. Morse, of Omaha, and President M. J. Pickering Had to Say to the Boys— Sunday Guests. Events of the Day. Tt would be like a twice told tale to ropent again at length the story of Thursday's ereat, successful demonstration, which was so fully described in Thursday evening's and E'riday | morning's Bre. A very brief mention of the features of the day, and some minor happen- ings which were omitted in those reports, is due to the boys who were not present Thursday, and who were not able to obtain a paper to read an account 5f the event, The arrangments were so far completed before Thursday that when the day arrived every man knew his place in line and what was expected of him. The procession was advertised to move at 10:30. 1t moved just four minutes ahead of time, and the appearance of 500 silk ' hatted uniformed men marching down Harney street, keeping step to the music of the guards band, was one that will not be forgotten for months to come. The public and even the boys themselves were surprised at thewr appearance. The best showing was made on Capitol avenue, where for four blocks the rich colors of the Jdapan- ese parasols glistened in the bright sunshine and the long straight columns marched us true in step and line as though they were the queen’s guards. The novel uniforms were the great hit of the day and one of the men who objected to them said as he looked at the men on Capitol avenue, “Boys, 1if we were selecting 100 uni- forms we co not get a handsomer one.” After the ‘mrmh)w er and the trades display had been rev was nigh lunch time aud the boys spent an hour with their friends before going to the fair groand. At1:30 the Omaha carriage and transfer company drove a line of carriages to the board of trade rooms for the boys and imme- diately a carriage procession was formed and the afternoon was spent at the fair, During the afternoon the pavilion at the fair grounds was filled with the boys and their friends. No amuscments had been arranged, but for the few short hours each and every one was left to entertain himself either by watching the flyers in the ring or lifting at the big pumpkins in the floral hall, Mr. W. 8. Helfrey was the recipient of many very eenerous thanks for his cnergy and work collecting a large amount of fruits and cigars for the headquarters. The follow- ing wholesale houses contributed for the ion: Peycke Bros. and McCord, Brady 3 , & box of lemons aund the sugar for a barrel of lemonade: Rocco Bros. and Rosso & Co., each u bunch of bananus; Bates, a large basket of California pears: Riddell' & Riddell, a basket of peaches; Bingham & Son, Troxell & Williams M.

Pickering, president of the National Travelers’ Protective association in replying to the invitation to be here last Thursday, the guest of the Nebraska drum- mers, sent the following letter addressed to W. B. Lanius, vresident of the Nebraska di- vision of the T, P. A., for publicition in Tne BEE. PriLapeLenia, Sept. 1, 1883, —W. B. Lanius Esq., President Nebraska District T. P, A, To the Commercial Travelers of Nebraska.— Gentlemen: Until a ff\\’ hours ago T ex- pected to have had the pleasure of accepting ur invitation to join with you in the fest, ies incident to your celebration of “Drum- mers Day” Omaha on the 6th inst I re- rret, however, that owing to the fact of my having two very important engasgements of long standing, coming nearly the same dute as yours, I am compelled to hereby convey to you by letter the appreciation of your invita- tion, my thanks for your having so kindly numbered me among your invited guests, together with a few remarks rega ing tho strength and _iufluence of the mercial travelers of this country when banded together in unison, ready to give a long pull, a strong pull, and last, but by no means least, a “pull altogether;" iustead of ‘having the pleasure of meeting vou in per- son, and having an opportunity of expressing to you many thoughts and ideas that I be- lieve would be of interest to your fraternity. 1 feel that the honor of your invitation was not tendered to me personally, but in my capacity as president of the largest asso- ciated body of our profession in the world, 1 trust therefore that it may not seem out of Place for me to embrace this opportunity of saying a few words regarding the objects aund effortsof this organization, the Travelers' Protective association of the United States. This association is simply what its name implies, an association for the protection of travelers, admiting to 1ts membership only legitimate commercial traveling men, who are cugaged in the capacity of soliciti; ders from samples, catalogue, card, pr or description, for wholesale comuission houses or manufactury The objects of this assoc irst—To secure th 1 of all munici- pal, county, state ial laws impos- g and e ing a license tax on commer- cial travelers, Second—To seeu gnition from rail- vrotession and to abtain as favor- ms on personul transportation and ge as are given to any other class of elers, and to adjust all differences be- commereiul travelers on , 2, business basi Tuird—To secure hotel accommodations commensurate with the prices paid and to adjust complaints against hotels or by them against commercial travelers. Fourth—To elevate the social character of commercial travelin fession; to bring about the better acquaint- ance of members, and to provide pleasant social amusement and entertainment to our members while on the road, Fifth— cure, through our national em- ployment bureau employment for mombers of our association, Surely these objects are reasonabie and just and it is the duty of every merchant tr who is loyal to himself uud his pro! give his unqualified support to an association that has thus pledged itself to so thoroughly guard his interests, ‘The national association is composed of the state divisions, one of which is organized in almost every state in the union. These state divisions are subdivided into local posts, many of these maintaining attractive club rooms *0 which commercial travelers are ul- ways welcome, where ail papers and litc ture of interest to the profession are kept on e, where members may entertain mer- chants, visiting friends and customers, and where the meetings of the state division and various committees are held. That this association has been true toits pledge in using every conservative business effort to secure the attainnent of its objects, can be seen by & comparison of the prices, comforts and conveniences of travel at the prescnt time with those of the year 1881, the year immediately prior to its organization. Through the efforts of its legislative committees it has causcd the repeal of practically every municipal, county, state, and territorial tax on commer- cial travelers, and 1t has so agitated this question that a decision has been rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States doclaring the levyiug of such a tax unlawful. Through the conservative action of its railroad committee, it Las brought about a better feeling between the managers of all prominent rallroad companies and commer- ciul travalers, and has thereby induced the companies to grant substautial concessions Ation are: and moral as a pro- { to the members bf our profession. Chief among these concessions are the many and two thousand mile books now on si and the new and very pon- W mile interchar book sold at $100, 2 cents per wile, good over twenty-six prominent roads, Our” hotel committee nhas hotels generally’ substantis | hotel rates, and has made t ‘commercial rate’ at hote custom throughout almost the entire coun ‘Through its methods of adjusting dif- ferences between commercial travelers and hotels, and using its influence to protect the latter against_impostors, it has won the r spect and confidence of the hotel managers generally. The association has, in many wavs, vanced the interest and promoted the cha acter of our profession, and it is now fully orgunized and equipped in every way to fight your battles and to adjust your grievances. 1t is ever on thealert, watchful of your every interest, and is donstantly seeking to promote the welfare of your professi OVETY Way, and it is doing this at a nominal expense to each of its mew bors. Iwould huve you bear in mind, that the present appears to be the era of organized cffort. Every business, profes n and trade recognizes the importance of bing up a thorough organization for the protection of their peculiar intercsts incider secured from reductions in granting of Is & universal | to the calling of its members; to this end the merchants and maoufacturers have their chambers of cominerce, exchanges and bonrds of trade; the bankors, their strong national ion and local elearing house associa tions; the lawyers, their clubs and bar asso ciations; the physicians, their influential medical societies: the druggists, their phas maceutical associations. And thus ever trade Las its organization and cors, backed by a strongly unitad member- ships constantly on the alert to defend the interosts of the calling it represents and to mould legislation in its behalf.

Among the many speeches delivered before the traveling men’ at their reception last Thursday night one, W. V.

On the other hand we feel an equal inter est in_all that pertains to your welfare— there is not a waving field of in that gems our rolling praivie land, there 1s not a golden ear of corn that bends beneath its burden on the stalik that bears it, there is not & Dorham steer nor a Berkshire pig that feeds upon the product of our state, for which we denot join with the farmer, and with you, in praying for these grand pe- cuniary results which lubor and which hon est thrift deserve, and as our interests are 80 mutual wi inallt 5 the welfare of our stute, 8o arve your inter- ests identical with ours in all the great cu- terprises of Nebraska's metropolis.

There are only two cities on earth from which the soul of the wings its way to the hog heaven in such numbers as it does from South Omaha, The daily product of onr smelting works is greater than of any similar works i the world, and were I to tell our home poople of the varied products of this city they would ery out in wonder.

Why, gentiemen, the yearl) output of the smeltibg works al Omaba is greater in value than the output of all the wills at Minneapolis combined.

To this I cannot subscribe.

New York Herald “Rather singu- lar, isn’t it,” remarked an elderly gen- tleman as he paused 1n his promennde before tho open door of the dancing parlor at the West ¥nd hotel the other evening, “'to see the subject of one of the most beautiful Madonna pictures in the world dancing at a scaside hop.” Tt was singular, but the pretty story I Subsequantiv Heavd¥mnda’ thblvoiag lady referred to still more interesting. She is Miss Jennie Parker, whose father's residence is a little way up the Hudson, and who is a nicce of John H.

After he hal apparently satisfied him self, he rose in his soat, and standing before her said in the broken English of aGerman: **You are just the person 1 have been looking for. I wish you would come to my studio.” His abrapt- ness was confusing, but withal rather assuring. 2 “But [ do not know who what you want me for,” replied the young lady. He then told hev that hi was an artist and was painting a picture of the Madonna for the cathedral at Dresden, Close confinement in his studio had impaired his health and he made the trip to this country for rocr tion and stud, As many other noted artists have discovered, he found the most lovely type of womanhood in Am- oriea. Ho immediately thought of his Madonna picture and began to look out for a subject. If he looked at all wo- man as he looked at Miss Parker it is a great wonder he did not get a thrashing in his search. The young lady spoke to her pavents about the proposition and at fivst they were very much op- posed to having her sit as model, Finally, howe , they consented to al- low her to go with an’ elderly chaper- one to the studio of a fellow artist, which th artist was using, / ts the face wus painted most successfutly and the picture was sent to Dresden, where it met with At praise. you are or S —
