16 THE LOCAL REALM OF SPORT. Retam of the Reorzanizad and Rehabilitated Lambs, SHCOTING ON MEADOW AND UPLAND. Hoof Reats and Spokes from the Wheel—The Ring and Cinder Sporty Gossip and stions Answered, OMORROW after. noon the rejuven ated and rehabitated Omamns will muke their initial appear. ance on the home grounds, Consider: ing everything thoy have done fairly well sinco they pick up tho string where Shannon broko it off. A new team, hastily o with but little m al to draw ger Leadloy accomplished even more than could have been reasonably expected of him Then he was compelled to jump right into the very thickest of the fight with bLis raw recruits and tackle seasoned teams, teams that were puttng up as good ball us could bo ) anywhore whers baseball is played. Every allowance should be made by locs patrous and all eriticism witbheld until after the team has had a square show, Meanwhile they can rely on the assuranc that every weak point will be strengthened as rapidly as possible, and every effort made to give Omaha a creaitable showing from this on out. A few victories just now will work wonders, for to Lo team in the raco dnes @ singlo game cut such a figure s it docs to ours, The best way to iufuse con fidence and vim into the new men, who must necessarily face the local audienco for the first time with considerable trepidation, is to attend the game and give them a rousing good send off, let the game go_whichsoover way it may. They will win if itisin the books, depend on’ that, for they are just ambitious to make a showing as the most fuveterate crank could possibly be. The Musical - Union band will parude the dincipal streets tomorrow afternoon 1 for an hour prior to the a spirited programme at th 1 b admitted free tomor row, and a general invitation is extended, Nothing enhances a couflict on the diamond 0 much as a good attendance of the gentler sex. Let the grand stand be filled. Omaha saved her club by the veriest chauce, and the manugement is descrving of overy encourg- mentand every support. Business men, who rarely 2o out, should muke the effort t morrow. ~ A gocd word on tho opening day means much to both_ciub und team. Tu Denver the Lambs will have a doughty foe, despite their long run of hard luck. Wings Tebeau, the poot, Chippy McGarr, Ollie Beard, Joo Werrick ‘and Jack O'Con- nor are stars in their respective position and capable of just as stiff a game as any teaw in the circuit can put up. In any event 1t will bea good game, as both teains will put in an extra lick, owing to the peculiar stutus of the gamo hore. It will be the first battle for a month and suvcly the fans are all hungry for the sport. Once more, turn out and give Manager Leadley and his men a merited reception, the game reader park. Ladies w Not %0 Calm as It Looks. Gossip about the wrecking of the Omaha baseball team Lias about died out, and the av- erage crank supposes that the matter has been dropped for good. But 1thas not. The Western association management is at work snd they hope within a short time to get at the bottom of the matter. The local manase- ment isalso busy. They cannot understand why they are mot entitled either to Haulli- gan or saiisfactory indemuity from the Cin- cinnati club und the national agreement, aud are determined to sift the affair thor oughiy. They insist, aud justly too,that Hai- ligan, or any of the old players for that 1 ter, was not released until Sunduy ev ing, July 12, They also boldly assert, and will come pretty nearly proving that their releases were dated bick to July 1 for fraudulent purposes. In support of allegation President Young has been put pos: players who were not assist MeCormick, Brandt and” Shannou in their little seheme to deprive Omaha, utterly and incontinently,of a professional ball teani. He has also the afildavits of a couple of news- pupers which printea McCormick’s mavifesto uly 7. This was wotten by ono Brandt, who was acting at a small salary as McCormick's book-keeper and secre- tary, and was over his signature. In" ' this ukaso MeCormick offercd to keep the club intuct for the balance ~ of the season if the citizens would ouy base ball books to the modest extont of £10,000. So you see there were n good many tracks loft uncovered after all. Tho Omaba manage- meut neither expocts or _desires to get back the players who jumped to the American association, but they do expect the National board to either return Halligan or his equ alent in the coin of the realm. It is doubtful whether the local management would accent the services of Shanuon, wero they tendorod gratis, Al they desire is, thatafter the National board determines what can be dono law fuily and equitably, this be dono and that isall. Butas before intimuted, the end is not yet. Oolonel Rogers' Statem nt Colonel John 1. Rogers, membor of tl.e na- tlonal board, has made the following state- ment anent the jumping Omaha pluyors “As 10 the Omaha players, no final decision has vet been rendered, owing to the facts bewe in dispute. “Iu the meantimo Mr. Young, as socrotary of tho bourd, has been merely followit records in the following seque 1.

He accordingly notified the players to report for duty, ete. He, of conrse, had then no knowl- edge of the ‘reieases’ of tho players, 42, Several of the plavers then sent him copies of releases dated July 1, 1801, and signed by the proper officials of the Omaha club. Mr. Young, never baving notico of such roleases, then brought the matter before the board fov a decision of tho question: Whether a player duly released, and tho ten days for the other clubs® claims having since expired, could bo held under his contract and the Wostern association constitution becunse of the ueglect of the club's official to send * proper notico of such releasei I promptly decided that the player should not suffer for such negloot, and that if such releases were given, the players wero free to g0 where they pleaxcd. erti—Mr. Krauthoff now contends that he nas reason to believe that sail releases were fraudulent, and were really given on July 1: and dated bavk to July I to cheat toe othe Western Association elubs out of their ten days’ period of acceptance of service guaran teed them by their consttution, which wus expressly conceded in the players' contracts Mr. Krauthoff s now fuvestigoting tho truth of this charge of fraud, and the final raling of the board will rest on the results of such wvestigation. At present Mr. Young will g0 by the written records, and, as they in- clude releases apparently’ proverly signed and dated, the players will stay in the mean- ume with the clubs of theie choice, If, in lon of the afiduvits of three. of the old ufisiently induced to ve: Ou however, the allegations of fraud are estab- | lished, the releasos aro annulled and the players must fulfill their contracts and give their services to the Western Ass ciation club to which they may be assigned, uy they have oovenanted o do.

In last Sunday’s cdition you say: “Milwaukee, as soon ns she has the avout going into the Association,” and as usual you were on the winning card. The baseball magnates here say that you are too fond of poicinz your nosc into ofher people’s business, still they look for your paper with an avidity that marks their curiosity for no other sheat. In T Bk they seldom fuil to seo for the first time in print something they would fain have kept shady, and your source of information is a perploxing mystery to them. As a staunch supporter of the Western Baseball nssociation in- particu- lar, and_legitimato basevall in general, they all‘admive Tue: Bre and I have heard Cush- man_say hundreds of times that Milwaukee could afford to pay well for champion.

P. Batuin and L. . Gatto, three dircetors of the Louisville club, dropped in from another divection. The latter stated thoy came to confer with Vou der Aho concerning the future of the Louis- vitle club, although just what the *boss resident’’ has to do with that club's affairs is not apparent, and the Milwanice contin- went biandly announced that they had run down to see the Boston-Brown seri But you can depend on it their meeting was not purcly accidental. 1t was all arranged by telegraph, and the two fuctions met i St. Louis to negotiate o deal caleulat- od to carry consternalion into the national agrecment camp, for, if cousummated, it means the wrecking of the Wastern Associa- tion, the tearine into shreds of what tittle there 1s left of the national agreemont and the wiping out of existence of that nineteeuth century trinmpt (1), the board of control. As o matter of fact, the Milwaukee officials went to St. Louis to dicker with the Louis- ville people for their frauchise in the Ame: can Associution. They offered the Louisville club what they considered u reasonable figure to retire, and notified Von der Ahe aud the Boston ofticials of their readiness to step into Louisville's shoes at a_moment's notice, wiien the latter dropped out. ‘The Louisvillo club promised u decided wnswer this week, but us yet I have not toard whether it has been received or not.
