Thore was a great crowd out at the ball park yesterday af- ternoon to witness the Inst two wames under the M'Cor- mick - Brandt re- me. Last uight they disbanded the club and released the players and tossed up the sponge most ingloriously. The base ball public, however, has no cause for perturbation, as tho Western Associa- tion has resorved tho sorvices of every player inthe club, and President Krauthoft will be here today to consult with eitizens with refcrence to putting the club upon a permanent and popular basis. Tho players will all remain right here until the Western association sees proper o dis- poso of thom, and thero is every assurance that the business meu and ““frozen out"’ stock- hotders will res ly and frecly towards tho restoration of the great sport in Omaha. But more of this anon. The fiest game yes called at 2 o'clock, and it was a glo, the Farmers failing to score until the ninth inning, when on two bases on balls, a threo-bagger, a single and an_error, they got n four runs, Eiteljorg was almost invulnerable, while Mr. Rouch was fairly flayed alive.

Gamo No. 2 began shortly after 4, with Clarke and O'Day as the opposing twirlors, and_both men pitched superbly, Dad laving tlie best of it by big odds. As In the first game the Farmors_ faild to score until the ninth inning, when they saved themselves by the closest kind of a shave, On two hits they got one run. This was ono of the best and most axciting games seen on the grounds this year and was marked by the only triple play éver made on ihe grounds. It was fu tho sixth inning and happoned in this wise: Clinergot his base on balls and Stafford made a hit. Then Jack Rowe camo up, and after fouling twenty-five or thirty balls in a futile attempt to bunt, he popped up a high one to MoCauley. Cline, however, in the meantime had stolen third, Papa caught the ball and tossing 1t to Shannon, who had _covered first, Stafford was caugnt, then Shannou lined the ball down to Sutclifte aud Cline, who had at- tompted to wot 1n home on the play, was nailed at the plate. ‘Thou the sceue that ensued was one never witnessed at Association park before, Men and boys stood up aud swinging their hats yolled and screamed for fully five minutes. The uproar was somothing tremendous. It was the finest plece of work ever seen here and the cranks went mad with joy After the turmoil bad subsided Umpiro Striof callod the game for five minutes, while Brother Jack went out behind thé grand stand and kicked himself half to death, Nover beforo was a triple play executed more opportunely, and never beiore was one grested by a wild aud excited populace more uproarously. While I would have found much pleasure in writing up theso two masterly games in datail, the baseball favs will overlook this brief montion when they understond that it will require a littlo exta work to keep our great team here.

Pramsvorry, Neb, July 12.—[Special Totegram to Tk Brr,)—The game of ball today between the Shamrocks of Omaha and the Burlingtons was onc of the nicest and best games of the season. Tho Shamrocks are a fino set of players, and kept strictly to the game without bickerings or disputes, consequently the game was thoroughly en- joyed by the very large crowd, which testi- fled appreciation impartially of every good play made. The Burlingtons after their re- cent and much needed rest, played like giants and put upa_grand gameof ball. Perrine was vory effentive in the box, the visitors finding him for only four base hits, and Croight, behind the bat was in fine form. Harry Green's fielding was excellent and Motz on_first firmly established himself in favor with the oranks. Yapp's oateh in center fisld and throw in to home plate, making a splendid double play was the foature of the game. The Burli:gtons were in batting humor, and continually found Stephenson, who gave way to Henn in the seventh, Stephenson’s threa bagger in the ‘eighth was a splendid hit. Moore on second base played a faultless game and with the assistance of Dolan nipped many a steal in the bud. Buck Adams nearly won a suit of clothes by missing & “*hit me’ sign by about six inches.

The object of this association shall be to protect the mutual - terests of its members, to foster and improve amatour athletics throughout tho territory of this association, to deal repressively with any abuses in athletic sports, and to hold an- nual westorn championship meetings. Tho following officers were elected | James A. St. John, Missouri bicyelo club and ath- letic club, 'president: Frederick Sansome, Wanderers' crickot club and athletic club, first vice president; M.

He recommended to the stato depariment that the consulate be closed and archives be placed in the hauds of competent person. On the receipt of this in- formation the department requested Mr. Whitehouse, charge d'affairs, to make an in- vestization of the matter and report to the department. Pending the making of this re- port Mr. Whitehonse reported by cable that the local authorities hud assured him that no farther steps would bo tuken in the matter of the lawsuit until he (Mr. Whitehouse) had had an_opportunity to make a full investigation. The consul was instructed by the department uot to close the cousulate uuder any circumstances. The contention of the local authorities with res- pect 1o the consul's complaint of fringe- ment, it is understood, is that the process was served in the private and not the oflicial part of the consulato and thut there was therefora no violation of the sanctity of the cousulate.

It is important that claimants under the Indian depredations law should understand that all contracts mado by them with attor- neys wero cancelled and anoulled by that act.

But it is highly vrobable that the power of co gress in this matter will never bo tosted in the courts, since it is hardly to be supposed that the many able lawyors in congress would have allowed so important a feature of the Indian depredations act to romain in it if there was o reasonable doubt rogarding the right of congress to so legslate. The thing to be understood b under the above act is that contracts with attorne for fees ana allowance wero rendoved void by the uct, and that they aro at tiberty to place their claims in other hunds aud to refuso in all respects t be bound by such contracts. that no one IR Drowned While Fording a River.
