The Local Status of Affairs. Notwithstandiug the harsh eriticism the Omaha baseball directors and management have been subjected to, they ave entitled to the fullest credit for the plucky way in which they have met and treated all diffoulties. It wis no season for the t of big money, as from the very start the outlook for the game was most disec brotherhood put a dawper on the enthusinsm of the most liberal and ardent admirers of the sport, and backers of clubs were slow bout stepping forward and putting up their wney. Bob in quite & number of instances has the Omaha public had ganizations. investn noteworthy .\.munm of the eutor | prase und liberality of the local managoment. When the general break-up came last fall Omahasold a_quartetto of her best players, and she did a wise thing, as_every one of the players disposed of would have jumped the club anyway, and the local management would have béen out of pocket several thou- sand dollars. This, of course, t the club in bad shape to build upon for the coming But President McCormiclk went to work and seeured the very best alat hand for a new start. How well ceeded can be scen by the work of ‘the club, Under the circum- stances the team has done well, and with one more good pitcher and_one more skillful fielder in the beginning, it is safe to say that today Omaha would be one of the most con- picious aggregations in the race, But they ill do better from this on, that is assuved. New players in Phalen, __Collins and Martin have be added to tho roster, and the tewm i3 now ou an cqual footing with the strongest in the association. Allthe defeats sustained by them from this on out, will be by a superior order of play on the part of the opposition and not;through the weals and purile efforts of the Black Sox. A little more liberal attendance, too, would be n powerful incentive to still better work and be an encouragement the managoment would surely not overlook.

The Kansas City baseball team still con- tinues the laughing stock of the baseball world. Every man and boy in the country who knows anything about tho zame allows a four-ply smile to crack his face every time he sces 4 Cowboy score. At their present they are “capping out” about one vict every four defeats. The directory thought Hackett was hoodooing them, so ho was given the “run” and the managerial lines put in the hands of contumacious Jimmy Munning. This, it is supposed, is u sort of reward for all of Manning elay in resigning with his old club, and h frequent threats to jump into the brother- hood. But Mauning neither seems to possess tho “open sesame” to the way to the laurel thicket, as the poor little Cowboys still con- tinue to gallope toward the tureen. This all very funny when it is remembered that before the season opened the only regret of the Kausas City papers was that the toam was s0 strong that it would soon spoil all inte in the race by gettiog so far in the lead t no other club could hope to catch them. The; liave managed, with ashowing of persistenc worthy of & bdttor course, to hug the tail enil up to date, and still there is no immediate prospect of a bettevment in their behalf. Hot From the Bat.
