Yesterday was ladies’ day at the ball purk, and several hundred of the dear creatures were on hand to witness the coming cham- plons receive one of the most unmerciful drubbiogs they have experienced this year. Can it be that the fair ones, with their foathers and ribbons and smiles, acted as a hoodoo to the home teamt 1t 18 to be hoped not. Be that as it may, however, we were most {ngloviously licked, and by the weakest teain in the wholo Western association at that. ‘Willis was put in the box at the last mo- ment, and, whils he was hit hard and often, A% was not his work alone that defeated the demons, but the general loggy and dispirited play of the whole team. T'o be sure, the error column gives no_in- dication of this lamentable fact, but still it is true that not a single member of the team played as if ie cared the toss up of u penny Wwhich way the game went. Flies were mis- judged, bases run like ico wagons, and care- ess, indifferent work of all kinds marked thelr playing through the entire nine in- nings. Orooks took Strauss’ place behind the bat in the last four innings, and caught a rogu. lar Dr. Bushong game. He was guy 00d deal from the bleachers, and his mo! oyshines in return was about the only life there was to the game. Big fut Brodiy umpired a vile game, His decision on balls and strikes, against Willis in particular, hadn’t the semblance of cor- rectness or justice in them and he secmed to think that because he was being hit protty hard he might as well give it to him,too, and he aid so with a vengeance. The gamo is unworthy of more thana pussing notice, for it wus about the most readful specimen of a game seen here this year, 420 857 The score: bl Srowem3 Cooney, m Cleveland, B Strauss, c&2b ..

CLEVELAND, O., July 81.—|Special Tele- gram to TE BEE,]—Another favorable day attended the grand circuit races here this afternoon. There was a considerably larger attendance than on the opening day, and the contests were even more exciting. The sensation of the day was the fast heat paced by the stallion, Brown Hal, who lowered the champion record of 2:18 held by himself to 2:12% In the same race another stallion, Roy Wilkes, reduced his mark to 2:18. The first race was the 2:27 class, with ten starters, Sprague Golddust was the choice at abort cven money against the field, buv was not fast enough to beat Jim Fuller in the first heat, and the latter lowered his record to 2:10%¢. Then Sprague Golddust got a heat and a mark of 2:20, but broke in the third when he looked hke a winuner, and Annie Wilkes finished first. In the fourth inning Annie H., who had been going fast but steadily, sold down and was first, gotting the fifzh heat also in faster time. Sprague Golddust tried hard for the sixth heat, but Aunic H. was too fast for him, and ended the race in her favor. A great battle was looked for in the free for all, und it exceeded all expectations. Brown Hal was the first ohoice. In the early pools, and just before the start he sold at 3 to bagainst the fleld, Roy Wilkes bringing about the same, The cracks all laid up in the first heat, so that Jewett had it his own way in slow time. The negt heat was a duel between Bessemer and Roy Wilkes, both making the quarters first, butthe Wilkesstal- lion outfinished Bessemer in 3:13,making'a tie with the best staiion record. Roy wasa favorite before the next heat, but Browne Hal was cut loose in this mile, and after Itoy had led to the half in 1:08 Hal came so fast that Wilkes tired and the Teunessee flyer reached the stand in 2:12}§. The veteran, Gossip, Jr., also got past Roy. This made Brown Hal a strong favorite, but the next heat he was laid up and Roy Wilkes beat Bessemor in 2 ‘Then the lot were tired and Brown Hal took a heat in much slower time. The sixth heat looked hke a victory for Roy Wilkes, but Brown Hal, who was dead lame, camé home under the whip, being carried off his feet and winning a great vic- tory by a short head. The 2:20 trot was not started and goes over till to-morrow. The 2:24 and 2:18 classes are also on, and Axtell will try to beat the stal- lion record, Guy will show afast mile dur- ing the afternon.

Armour Said cto Have Secured an Option on the Property—Mo- Shane and Paxton In« terviewed. The Stock Yards. Tt is reported on good authority that a deal is pending which if consummated, will result in a change of ownership of the South Omaha stock yards. An individual who claims to be familiar with the transaction, states that the prop- erty of the Soutn Omaha stock yards company is likely to pass into the hands of a syndicate of pork and beef packers at the head of which is Phillip D. Armour, the well known capitalist. It is said that while Mr. Armour was in Omaha on his recent trip ho offected an option for the purchase of a large block of stockyards stock held by William A. Paxton and John A. McShane. Since Mr, Armour re- turned to Chicago it is reported that the pur- chase was effected and that the same re- sulted in the controlling interest boing put in the hands of the packers. It 1s also re- ported, and the statement comes from a re- liable source, that W. A, Paxton, vice presi- dent of the stockyards company, has ten- dered his resignation, to take effect at an early aate. Mr. Paxton was scen b, and when aske matter assumed a Sulliva: I have nothing to about it now the better. ou fellows are always creating trouble.” The speaker then retreated through an atmosphere savor- ing of brimstone. Bemng pressed for an explanation he positively refused to talk, a roporter yes- concerning the and sald Mr. McShane's Stateme nt, “No, sir,” said John A. McShane with emphasis, “there is no truth in the report that the packing houses control the Union Stock Yards or are buying stock to control the yards. The facts are, the packing house companies are selling instead of buy- ing stock. Why, Swift & Co., alone sold $75.000 worth of stock. It is truo that Philip D. Armourhas bought some &stock, but that was done two years ago. Mr. Ar- mour sold $100,000 worth of Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul railroad stock, preferring to hold stock of the yards. The packing companies don’t own one-sixth of the stock and never can control the yards. There is not a particle of truth in cr foundation for the rumor that there is to be a change and reorgamization of the yaras.” *“3ut has not Mr. Paxton sold his stock, and will his place not have to be filled?” modestly inquired the reporter. “*No, sir. ~True, Mr. Paxton has sold his stock, but that was six months ago, and a man docs not have to be a stockholder to be an officer., There is no contemplated change.” “But, Mr. McShane,” queried Tne Bk representative, ‘‘there is a seemingly well- founded rumor that a syndicate is being organized to obtain control of the stock of the yards. What truth is there in it, or ‘what is the foundation for such a report?” “‘There 18 not a word of truth in the mat- ter, nor 1s there any foundation for such a report. The truth'is that in a large mstitu tion like the stock yards more or less stock is being constautly transferred. *‘No, sir,”’ said Mr. McShane with sigoificant emphasis, “there will be no change in the stock yards, its management or control.” The Forester Picnic.
