Morton Will Probably Stay. Stoux Crry, July 27.—[Special to Tux Brr,|—Tho threats that are mado that Sam Morton is to bo doposed as secretary of the estern Buse Bull leaguo, and censure of resident McCormick, of the Omaha club, for not calling u meeting of the leaguo for that purposo is entirely unmeritod. A mu- fority of the clubs have not asked President MeCormisk to call such u meetiog, and there sign that ho_will do so. The board of tors of tue Sioux City club say that they bave not signed and will not sign anch eall. Manuger Kowe, of tho Denver club, oreonally Lold your correspondent tho other ay thut he Nind not taken such metion, With the Miuncapolis, Omabu, Sioux City aud Denver clubs refusing o sign tho call, & weeting cannot be beld, nor would it bo 6f any avail for the deposing of Morton if it should be held. As Daye Rowo says, thore havo been some poor umpires, but thin s the oxperience of uil the leagues. Bet- ter umpires are furnished as fust us they can bosecured. The kick of the St. Paul club really comes from the recont bad work of the club, for which it itself 18 to blams. Des Moities has always beon o kicker. Tho Sloux City club has been unfortunate, and a8 @ rosuit has lost many gamoes durmg tho t fow woeks, buy this was not the fault of ho umpiros, and the club has no Kick to rog- ister. But tho indications ure that Secre- tary Morton will probably stay through the somson, . Sloux Oty Refused to Play. S1. Pavs, Minn., July 27.—To-day's game was forfeited to St. Paul, 9 to 0, at the be- giuniog of the fourth inniug, with the secore 1040 9 in St Paul's favor.

Weekly Base Ball Review. 1n the Western association race tho only notable change has boen that Omaha has increased her lead to 72 points over St. Paul, and is galloping along at a rate that, it continued, will give her the peanant by & good large majority. She has but little further to fear in tho race, if the men but keop in condition. In tho League race, Boston again forged away ahead during the past weok, increas- ing hor lead over Now York, her next near- estrival, to 00 points. The Boan Eaters won four games out of five played, while the CGiants just reversed this order of things, winning one and losing four. Consequently Gotham base ball circles just now are oo spicuous for their lack of entnusiasm, Thi time last week thoy were only five points behind Mike Kelly, and they were coming at a galt that threatened to_carry them to the head of the procession with a rush. In the American association the status of affairs remained unchanged, savo that Brooklyi has gained seven additional points on the Browns, and are now only thirty-four points vehing. Cincinnati and Baltimoro are almost a tie for third place, and it is safo to preaict that the porkopolitans will get them good and solid during the present week.
