And a Falr Share of Their Fallure At tributable to Boose—The Club Will Disband for the Season on To-Morrow. Why Omaha Finished Fourth. The Omahia base ball team will disband at Milwaukee to-morrow, and the players go their several ways, They were paid off 1n full by President McCormick last week, and the parting between the management and the piayers was of the most friendly disposi tion ttested to his satisfaction \s to his Omaha experience, and expressed the wish to return here when the robins nest gret pervading the team ach one The one r at they were unable to quit the season tter position than fourth place Vain Whose fault was it that this was the Now that the with its and triumphs, ctories and defeats, ppoint: Poiutinents is ove n hurt no but may do a_wood déal of good, to euter into a analysis of the cause of the Omaha s comparatively poor show As far as the team is concerned, it was made of strong material individually, and it was con fidently expected would prove so collect ively, considering the harinony that existed witliin the ranks of the victorious Oshkosh team of the year before, und which was the same team almost wholly, only bemg and christened.

Was it the team, or was it the man- e Tiie answer is casily vouchsafed. It was the team in the main. When they first came I they gave promise of great thingsi they were well selected aptal and adiirably managed coufident of success, and determined nnd _aggressive if anyone dared suppose defeat _at the hands of even the pion Des Moines, or the Apostles or the Cowboys. ‘They were ball Dlayers, every one of them, and Omaha was proud of them and lionized them to an extent that proved their demoralization and ruin. With the first stroke of ill-success dissension began o crop out among the players; jeal ousy merged into enmit and half the time many of the play were not on \king terms with each other. There were ques und clans, and cach worked to the other's derrogation. The old Oshkosh clo was especially tabooed by new players into the team, and_the old Oshkosh clement was respousible for the bulk of the devilment, Internal disintegration soon sct v comin. in, und by the middle of the summer the teAm was 1n_an They did as they pleased, defying both management, manager and the people. Some of the best, highest priced and most valuable players black- guarded the directory and the town when and where and before whom they saw proper. They drank aud oused, as the whole city knew, during ' the most critical _stages in the champion- ship season, and 18 1t any wonder that they Qi not or could not play winning ballz Of course there were exccptions in all the rot- ten work; there was a number of as_consci- entious, reliable and honorable pla; Omuha team as in any team in the country, but they were decidedly in_the minority. Of course naturally enough Manager § was blamed, but he did all withiu his power without distupting the team completely, and the public has never been aware of the heavy fines he assossed upon these intractable und recalcitrant players. ‘The trouble did mot set in until the _ scason was at its height, and Manager Selee was put to lis wits ends to get uuy kind of work out of his men, and_under the peculiar oxisting circumstancas he did well. Aftor one looks over the matte ytically it doesn't seem such a wonder after Omaha did not come anywhore near winuing the pennant for 1339, The Chicago Meeting.

CuicaGo, Oct. 18.—A ghastly discovery was made by a couplo of boys in a deserted brick yard at the corner of Thirty-third ana Laurel streets this afternoon. They found au old soap box-and opened it. The dead and decomposed bodies of five babies lay side by side within. The Thirty-fifth strect station was notified and ‘the remains sent to the morgue, The bodies were examined and found to be badly decomposed. Two were males and the oaher three females. One of the males and one of the females appearcd to haye lived about two weeks, while the others had died shortly after birth. A cursory ex- amination revealed,a seeming fracture of the skull in two of the cases, but those were the only marks of violeace discovered. The ba bies had probably *been dead for about ten days. K No officers have been assigned to work up the case, the reason_given being that there are none to spare, the strike nesessitating the temporary abandonment of all detective work. The police of the Thirty-fiftn street district are of the opinlon that the bodies came from some *baby farm’ or some lying- in hosvital. None of these are known to exist in the vicinity, and it Is believed that the soap box was carried to the brick yard from a distance with a pile of refuse, a con- siderable amount of which has beeu deposited there.
