N MIGHTY BAD SHAPE NOV. Affairs of the Western Association Are De- cidedly Near Dissolution. MANAGERS MEETING AT MINNEAPOLIS. Confevences Yesterday and What Was Declded On--Outcome of Games Played—Gossip of the Sport- ing World, 17.—[Special Br It is stated by that the Wostern asso- another w As an it is already dead. Misxeavorts, Minn, Aug. Telegram to Tur those on the fnside ciation will not live eight club organization The meeting called for today was not held because President Speas of the Kansas City club and President Krauthoff of the associa- tion did not arrive in time, o n postpone- ment was taken till tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock : The ropresentatives of Duluth, Sioux City, Minneapolis and Denver are already hero and talk froely about the situation,” which looks gloomy enough. The Omaha club is owned by tho association, but it has lust so steadily that it is gotting no support at home. Lincoln is up to its cars in deot, Denver is but little better off. A wood deal of talk has been heard of the shakiness of Duluth, but Manager Watkins says hoe re- ceived '@ dispatch this morning 't tho necessary capital had been raised aud bis ciub was in a position to go on. Manager Rowe of Lincoln has not arrived. It is not known what he proposes 10 do. 3 In the discussion by the managers this afternoon two or three were inclined to think that u six club league could go through tho season, but thore was a very decided under- current in favor of disbanding the teams at once, allowing each city to retain its fran- chise with a view to reorganization next spring. i Milw: «in the American. Cixcrsyary, € Aug. 17.—A St. Louis yecial says: Arrangements for the transfer 3 the Cincinnati franchise of thé American baseball association to Milwaukee have been fully agreed on. » The transfer will be made as soon as the arrangement is ratitied by the association at a meeting to be eld tomorrow. It is the intention of President Gillette to keep his Western association team almost intacy, adding four Cincinnati men 1n tho places of the two released. He may have trouble in eavrying out his idea. Man- ager Cushman hus entered into an agrecment with the old players that he and all of them shall stick together, and when he finds he is to be let out, he no toubt will do ail in his power to get the men to desert the Miiwaukees aud join the league, or somo anization. If there are any deser- tions tho places will be filled by Cincinnati The Milwaukee team has made ace in the Western association that the players have become such favorites that Gillette is anxious to keep his team as much intact as possible, unless the men prove on trial to be incapable. “We have no idea of surrendering Cincin- nati,” said Mr. Von der Ahe. It is in asso- clation t and we will bavea club The leacue has offered 814,000 to abandou Cincinnati and we re- sed’ the offer, so that you can seo that wo Ave no idea of quitting there. Cin- Ainnati will be in the association next season, even if we have to mako up a ten or twelve club league to take in the city. The only reason we consented to abandon the place temporarily was to break up the Wostern association, which has been allied with the National league in fighting us. The Western association will be abandoned atashort day. They are away in debt to the board of control now, but the National learue has not dared to expel them owing to the fight they have on their hands with us.” Regarding the report from Louisviile that Zach Phelps is to be elected president of the American association, Kramer having re- signed, Von der Aho said that the report was unfounded. “1 have a letter and also a telegram from President Kramer,” said the St. Louis mag- nate, “und in neither of them is there auy reference made to a resignation and there is certainly no intention of removing him. In my opinion Mr. Kramer will not vesign, but will continue to act as president of the associ- ation. If he has said anything about resign- ing 1 certuinly have not heard of it and the association is satistied with him.” Tomorrow’s meeting of the association will be calied at 10 o’clock. It will not have any- thing to do but ratify Von der Abe's arrange- ments. Not in the Wester MixNearonis, Minn,, Aug. 17.—At a meet- ing of the Western association held here, at which all the clubs were represented, today, either in person or by proxy, the nembership of the Milwaukee club was forfeited and its franchise transferred to L, C. Krauthoff as trustee for the association, Its players were released from the contricts and declared eli- gible to sign with any National club. The prospects are exceedingly bright for reten- tion of at least six clubs and that the West- ern association will finish the scason. Chicago Gets Vickery. Ciicaco, Aug. 17.—It isstated touight that the Chicago league club has signed Vickery and Schriver, the Milwaukee “star” battery, the Milwaukee Western association club having been dropped from that organization.

Dave Rowe was in the city Sanday on route to Minneunolis to attend the Western assoclation mecting held there yesterday. Dave was hardly as communicative as usual, owing to the fact that the affairs of this body are in such a muddle, that he was leary of venturing an opinion. He did say, however, that there would bo plenty of interesting reading manufactured at the meeting, and ha intimated that it was quite likely that a bouse would fall on somebody. He said the condition of things was deplorable, and it has all been brought about by Dan Shaunnon's treachery in selling out the Omaba ‘eam to the American association, and like Halligan, he predicts a day of retribution, Dave says it Isn't So. Dave Rowe declared that the report that three or four of his men have been on a big hurrah was a dod-rotted, dirty slander., His men are all true blue, and the wen meant in the report, Raymond, Ehret and Cool, have been recently the most exemplary of tho whole team. None of them have touched a drop for three weeks or more. Dave says next season cheaper talent will be in demand throughout the wesi, and he bas no fears that this will include many of the present Western association stars. No Wonder He Is Sick. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that Papa McCauley 1s a dead failuro at flvst for Washington, and that Scavlan and Shannon made the mistake of their iives when thoy let Max Mclvery go for an_old selling plater like McCauley. The Post also says that Shannon enjoyed tho reputation of being a model manager and player while in_Omaha, but he falls wofully below the mark in the American. No wonder Shaunon has gone home sick. Norman Leslic on_the Market. Norman Baker returned from Kansas City yesterday with his releaso i his pocket. Ho was let out purely to cut down expenses, and not that he has seen the last days of useful- ness, Norman for the balance of the season would like a_berth with oue of tho strong Nebraska semi-professional teams, for whom he would make a valuable man. He can_bo addressod caro the sporting oditor of T EE. Jimmy Don elly Falls Down. Jimmy Donnelly 1s charged with playing very Klmer Clevelandesque ball for Colum- bus, and the cranks in the Buckeye capital are’ howling for the return of Kubne, but Louisville has trapped the Count and they must endure the Professor a while longer. Stien a Bit Rusty. Pitcher Stien’s debut as a Lamb in Kan- sas City Sunday wasn't exactly what migit be called brilliant, but the boy is rusty from nis long enforced lay-off. Manager Leadloy writes that he will round to ail right after o little practice. D d Clark Fired Bodily. Dad Clarke has been fired bodily from the Columbus American association team, who found him absolutely worthiess. Next. SPIAKS OF SPORT. Athletic Olub Notes. The new homo of the Athlotic club on Harney street is rapidly nearing complotion. August 15 was the time set for tho finisiing of the work, but so many changes from tho origiual plans havo been made that it was im- possiblo for the work to be completed in tho time specified in tho contract. Contracts for the furnishing of the build- ing have been let, and as soon as the plaster- ing is completed the decorators will go to work, At @ recent meeting it was decided to raiso the initiation feo from £ to $10 on Septomber 1. This has had the offect of hastening ap- plications for membership to some oxtent. The list now is a round 400 members, but tho directors are anxious to have a roll of 500 names by the time the club house is opened, and are working hard with this object in view. A first-class gymnastic fnstructor has beon engaged, alsoa professor of fencing. Plans for a big celebration on the opening night are already being discussed and a fine timo is promised the members on that occasion, Caused i Dispute. Wrymonre, Neb., Aug. 17.—[Special Tele- gram toTue Bee.|—The forty-yard foot race becween Clements and Concordia Bill (col- orod) matched for today was very unsatis- factor) The bet was #$100 a side, start by mutual consent. After scoring for an hour it was thought that they had made a start, but the negro fell down, and Clements ran through and cluimed the race.

THE OMAHA DAILY BER;,TUES G00D BACKING FOR KINGSTON, Fastorn 8ports @rgatly Intercsted in Satur- day's Race at Chioago, DWYER'S HORSE,IS A PRIME FAVORITE. What a Bookmaker Says of His Trade —Hesults of (he Races Yester- day-Jptries for the Garfjeld Stakes, New Yonrk, Aug. 17.--The raco for tho Garfield stakes at Chicago next Saturday will possess a poculiar interest for oastern racing wen, All will look forward to ft with a certain degreo of impatience, for in this event Mr. Dwyer's great race horse Kingston, the pride and admiration of eastorn turfites, will make his deout in the west, If givena fair opportunity thero would be no doubt of his declsive trinmph, but the horse is nov being treated with the consideration which ho deserves. ‘T ask bim to start fro tonight, mako the long and exhuustive jour- ney to Chicago, and within a fow days to meet and boat western cracks, is cortainly asking too much of him. It is a hanaicap which few horses could surmouat. and to a horse prone, as Kingston is, to rheumatism, it is particularly distressing. But if the great brown whirlwind, as Kingston is aptly and affectionately called, 18 anywbere near his form, he will win the big prize without much asking. No matter whom he may bo called upon to meet, he will be the favorite here and bis winning or losing will mean many thousands of dollars to eastern sports. Mr. Dwyer will forward a big commis- sion to” bo placed on him, and it is safe to say that ho will be by long odds the heaviest backed horse in the rac It will not be the first time that he has ried the dollars and hopes of his legion of admirers,and as in the pastho has proved trye to the trust in many hard fought contests, there is little doubt but that he will be found just as faithful in his struggle of Saturday. The wish of all true sporting men in the east 15 that the raco may prove a grand one and tho best horse may win. ‘This will undoubtedly be Kingston’s last year on the turf. He will be retired to the stud at the end of the scason, at the latest, and it is just possible, though not at al pro able, thatbis retirement may take place after his comine race in the west. He has earned a well deserved rest. His career bas been almost a dazzling ono. He bas won raco after race, and has time and time again snatched victory from what seemed almost inevitable defeat. The wurfites love to talk of his handsome carriage, his consistency, and his great burst of speed which won for him the appropriate title of the great brown whirlwind. No horse in the country has run and won so many races und none has per- formed so consistently. Year after year he has met and defeated the best horses in training, all distances, from five furlongs to a mile and a quarter, Ouly one horse in the country can claim ascension over him and that one is his great stable mate, the cham- pion Longstreet. NO ONEY IN IT. Bookmalker MeDonald Complains of the Duliness in His Trade. New Youk, Aug. 17.—Bookmaker J. E. McDonald writes .about his business for a morning paver aud among other passages aro these: 1 “There was ahuo and cry somo time ago about bookmakery owning and ruuning horses. My advigp to those in control is if they want to got rid of the bookmakers all they have to do is’ to make each and every one of them run hotses. When I started in the busimess there used to be from forty to sixty men in ling, - Out of the original sixty about fifteea remain. There has been big money won and lost atthe game; money of men the public has mever heard of. There is a certain class of ptRlantropists among the fraternity who do nothing but think of the means to bring mouey into the business. They resort to all kinds of adver- tising dodges through tho daily papers. All they want is to get & man in and its another case of you touch the button and ‘the man with a white hat' will do tne rest. *“To make a moderate estimate I would s that ut least $500,000 has been lost that way Bnt it is a groat game with great opportu ities. You are out in the fresh aiv all tho time and that is the reason the ex-booky gravitates to the street car lines so readily. *And now for a prognostication. If winter racing is not curtailed or stopved horse rac- ing will be a has been and the army of people who make a living thereby will have to look elsewhere for their bread ana butter. Ivs another striking case of the Mc Kimnley bill, where the mau, have to support the few (the big four). A bookmaker pays move and gets less than any mau in the world. In the first place he pays $100 a day for the privileve of gumbling. Then he has his sheet writor to whom he pays from 310 to 315 a day; his ticket writer at 310 aday. his cushier at from $10 to 820 a day and innumerablo exuras, ice water, slips, vave of boxes, etc. Some bookies have one and two outside men, who get prices for them, and they are ususily paid £ a day. A bookmaker will casily wyerage #150 a day for his bare expenses. Ho will average 200 days’ work in a year and that mukes an out- lay of §0,000. Now, if a_business man put that much money —into a dry voods store or a saloon or wvested it in any way, what kind of arcturn would he want! All the book- makor gots is the chanco to bet his money. “For the past few years there has been o steady decline in wurf gambling. Men do not bot as much money as they used to bet, nor are the speculators as numerous they once were. This season the stringency iu the money market has probably hua a great deal to do with it, but whatever the cause may be tho effect is apparent. At Monmouth purk last year there were about 100 books on, and this year there are hardly half that num- ber, and the volume of money bet has been correspondingly affectod. Every day the game gets poorer. In the old days at” Mou- mouth all & bookmaker had to do'was to lay against favorites and get rich.” v Saratoga's Programme. Sanaroes, N.

Lovts, Mo, Aug. 17.—A special from Little Rock, Ark., says: J. L.

Bay is a cleric employed by the bondsmen to investizate the baoks of defuulting ex-Trens- urer Woodrufl. A great sensation has been created by the arrest, When the logislature adjourned a joint committee loft two boxes filled with state securities which they exumined and found to bo correct. Mr. Morrow claims that Ray has broken 1uto a box and extricated $100,000 which was cancellod two years ago and which be put into the bozes left here by the legislature. Ray was taken bofore a justice of tho peaco and gave bomas for his appearance on Seotember Ist. John Fletcher, J. McCarthy ana Dan Joness who aro on Woodruf's bonds, went bis security. The warrant was sworn out by Morrow without consultating any of the members of the state bvard. The arrest wus a great surpriso to Woodruff and his honds- men, who say that the securities placed in box by Ray aro only those that constitute the vouchers hetd by Woodruff, aud were re- fused by Morrow at the beginuing of tue i vestigation.

Von Caprivi Says the Corn Dutics Wiil Not Be Lowered, BERLIN, Aug 17.—Tho Reichsanzeigor tounight announces that at a cabinet council heid today at the imperial home oftice it was decidea that no necessity exists for w reduc- tion of the duties on corn, but that, on tho contrary, it was moro necessary than ever to adhero to the policy u 1 by Chancelior Von Caprivi in tho lower house of the Prussian aiet on June 1 last. Tho chancellor then anvounced that tho government had decided to retain the corn duties, saying that the existing tarit must remain until at least new treaty negotiations were arrangod. This d:eision ereated much dissatisfac- tion at the time and led to a most acrimonious debate in tho low to on June 11, Herr Rickert then made a motion to the effect that the wovoern ment should submit to the house material for the facts upon which the chancellor based his spe_ch upon the corn duties, Von Ca- privi opposed this motion, saying that inqui- ries upon the duties referred to had been in progress since April, that they had beon con- fined to official quarters in order to avoid creating excitement, and that the govern- ment was satitied that thero was no distress existing from the duties then leviod on grain, Ho then added that in consequenco of tho agitation aroused in rogard to the material, the government suosequentty consulted with anumber of private parties and naturaily coutd not submit these reports to the house, It was upon this pofut that Herr Rickert made his scnsatlonal speoch in which oc- curred the phruse that it would be found “necessary to recall the man who alone was able to direct the government,” except tho government was endeavoring to silence those who.were defending it BekLiy, e, 17— Mixed rye 1 wheat flour was offered for the frst time on the pro- duce exchange today in large quan- oities.

Feverish® activity pr vails in the shipping of rye at all Kussian ports. Eight thoansand tons have left St. Petersburg in eight days, It is reported that further large snipments will bo made on orders from the German government, The German Reichs bank hus resolved to lend money uvon corn 1o two-thirds instead of one-half of its value in order to facilitate purchases by small dealors, Tho Reichsauzeiger suys that the govern- ment is confiaent that there is suflicient wheat 1o take the place of rve and that a re- duction of the duties would only enrich dealers without affecting tho price of bread. The whole governmeut press refiects these views and de clares that high prices aro due to bourse speculations and not to scarcity, and that the Russian ukase would have been issued sooner than it was had Germany re duced the grain duties. It is sigmiicant, bowever, that Count IKuaniz, a leadiug pro- tectionist, pleads for a temporary suspension of the duties. GREAT YIELD OF Harvest in Progress in Minnesota and the Dakot St. Pavt, Minn,, Aug. 17.—Harvesting is well under way all over the northwest and the promises of big yields aro move than ful- filled. Wheat averages from twenty-five to thirty bushels to the acre and the increased yield from iereased acreage makes 150,000,000 bushels the minimum product for the Da- kotas and Minnesota. Other grains ave close to wheat. Oats, espocally, arc turning out well. Great trouble is experienced in pre curing labor to handle the inmeénse crop and tho railroads ave hard at work praparing to handle the grain. The lack of storage facil- ities will compel the great majovity of farm- ers to dispose of their grain soon and the transportation facilities will bo taxed to their utmost. Tho weather for harvesting is ull that could be desired. our RAL San Feancisco Markets.
