She should have been kicked out this spring in lieu of being allowed to put at defiance all the roqairements of her bylaws and consti- tution, and dictating her own terms on which she would play ball this season, by too easy and a too Tenfent presidentof the association When Milwaukee refused to put up guarantee chock this spring, that she v play the season out, and that, too, after other club in the association hid remitied theirs to Presidont McCormick, she should have been kicked out bodily, and her fru chise lunded over to_other parties in Mil- wituksee whio were w mply with a the obligations upon the different clubs e associ ation. But she wasn't, wd inst MeCormick returned to each of the other clubs the cliecks they had forwarded N and that Law became'n dead lotter, AlL soa. ion has been playing ball without fear of being penalized for any in- fractions of her rules or vegulations, and will 50 continue until the close of the season, If any club wishes to quit she can do so without fear or favor, can sell out, jump to any other crganization or throw up the spongo without assessment or hindrance of any descri fund in'the Wes assoclation, which isthe only association in the country without somo such protec What was Milwaukec's idea, is askod ¢ ply this. just atthe time of ‘the formulating of the Western association schiedulo and in the midst of other work preparalory to the opening of & moment- ous season, the Milwaukee ment_was negotiating with the Ame assoclation people, with the view of joining forces with them, ' It was only by reason of a shorter cireuit attained by the admission of Toledo, Rochester and Syracuse that Mil- waukee was not taken in. If Toledohad failed 10 making the comnection, Milwanlkee would have deserted the Western._without, so much as a *‘ta-ta,” and, according to Mr. Champion, shestands reidy to jump now at the first favorable opportunity, but whereshe can possibly jump tois aquestion. Now that is the sole canso why Tue B adyocates the riddance of Milwaukee at the earliest oppor- tunity, even toher forcible cjectment at the nextunnual meeting of the association. That is also the reason why e Bre would regret brother- 210« posed to see the championship go to th ers this scason. They have no inter S common with the balance of the organiztion, and their strenuous effort to captt cted flugz Is only forthe purpese of impressing other organizations with their strength and importance and improving their chances of admission to some one of them supposed to be a little higher up on the baseball - grade than the Western associition, Why Din't We Win? Itis hard lines te bring upthe rear such a team as Omaha has, hard lines, hard lines, In spite of her low rati spiteof the fact thatshe hasw't beat a sin- glo club out in the series so far playel it is maintained that in individual streneth Lmiha is as sty asany of her rivals, There are no v, great pitchers in the Western association, not one, and suvoly none who surpass Daa Clarkee, eithor in twirling capacity or strategic work, or even equal him., And thisis said, too, in the teeth of tho disustrous results that have marked his thus far. Thoere are various circumstances, ifit were worth while 0, which would explain ina measure Omaha's long-continued ill-success, Wiile hundreds atiribute it tothe manage. ment—of which they think there is either too littlo or too much, probably the latter— others blame it upon the players—they are incapable, disgrantied, indifferentor lazy, and should be'gotten rid of as fast as other” men can bo seured. And thus it goos, But it is hard lines, it must be repeated to be bringing up the tail end with such ateam.

These departments, like allof the others, are sepirate and ditinet, eah having its own foreman and workmen, The whole is under one general foreman, H. Manning, who seventeen years azo startel inas anappron- tice-boy, but by industry and strict attention tobusitess has workel himself up to his present important position, ShopNo. 1, a low, ranzy building, is & ma- chine shop in evary sense of theword, aud as the spectator stauds in the doorway and loks about the interior, watching the huge ls tho ponderous diills and the great planing machines, his oye tires of the sights of revolving wheels, flying arms and axles. Thisshopls incharge of OttoGugler, fore- man, who in 1863 started as a machinist, but now directs the movements of 169 men und helpers, The work performel consists largly in re- pairi ng engines ind overhauling them after they have come in from their lng trips, but tovary themouotony, the men make bridze lates, telegraph signils and_turn down cast- s that have come from the foundry, and car axles from the blicksnithshops, The power is furnished by & 150 horse power engine. i Shop No.2 isunder the charge of Willlam .\Iulu\u,\-, who served histimous au appren tice boy, beeamea journeyman and was then promuied to foremian, wiich position ho has ably filled for anumber of years, assistel by two foremen, Jon Turtle and Martin Ken- nedy, bothi of whom enterd the shops as ap- prendice boys inthe arly '60s, % Thework of rebulding a locomotive is a difficult task, orat least itwould look so, but {0 these men itis a matter that is vegarded of 10 more amportinee than to the carpeter who creggs the most inferior cottage. New locomotives have never beon built in these shops, but those that lave been through wrecks hiave been taken inand when turned oat were practically uew, The first engine that ever wont through the shops was No. 112, This engine blewup at Rollins in 1569, killing the engineer and five. man,and wrecking the machine until all that was loft were the wheds, and they were brought to Omaha on o coal car. These went into the shop and thirty days later went out under a new engine, ‘Wihen an engine eomesoff the road tobe ve- builtshe is run intothe shopsand the strip. pers fall upon hor.

The men in this department ha finished their wor d the engine is sent up to the cu repair shops, where the wood work isattadied and the painting done, after which the enzine is agnin ready to go onto theroad to draw its loads of humun freizht between this city and the west, or haul the freight cars lowded with the products of the plains or the mines. If the strippers find the skeleton too badly vorn, orshould it not be free from cricks, it into the boneyardof the shops. wheren doen men with heavy sledges and wrenches take it incharge, separate the parts, breal and cut them into venient lengrths and send them over tothe blacksmithshop, where the ironis hunmered into car axles and draw bars, "T'his comes ouly as u last resort, for whenan engine bas gone ot of date or served its time on the main lines it 1 sent up into the mountains, whereit mikes short runs, hanl- ing light loads fora numberof years. Under ovdinary civaunstinees thelife of an engine is from twelve to fiften years, hut by ove hauling them oncoa year this term is I ened out to some extent, and if th tunate cnough to keep outof wrecks they may run double this lengthof time, though there are but few Uniom Pacific engines have been inthe service formore than eigh- teon years, Eath man working in the machine shoys is a machinist in some capacity or de- patment.

A boy of fourteen years of age enters shop tolearnthetrade, He is known as a “*kid," and the fist work he does1s to carry witer, pick up suall bits of ivon and sweep the floor.

The most ponderous piee of machinery in the shops is tho press usedin putting on engineund car wheels, That wheels will not lip and tum upn their beavings, itis neces- sary they should fit dosely upon the joumals, and to make them fit, the axelis pit into an fron frame, while the whed is putinto another iron frame, just to theright, the axel eing placed aginst the hub of the wheel Hydraulic power is spplied and a ram, backed up by sixty-five tonsof pr pushes the end of the axel wto plice.
