THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY 9 MAY 1862, JUST MISSED A WHITEWASH Omah s Only Error Resulted apolis’ Only Run, in Indian- VERY HOT GAME FOR A COLD DAY Young Darly s Merey Al Turns the ot od Aft Tables on Ko £ Ball G the Hoosiers at 1~ Milwaukeo s Clty— Omaha, 4; Indianapolis, 1 Milwaukeo. 10; Kansas Columbus, 4, 12; St. Paul, 0, 5 Minneapolis-Toledo, postponed. EOPLE CALL them blue jays, and as usual the people aro right. They look like blue jays, play like blue jays, aud are jays--ovory one of them 1 vefor to the In- ianapolis base ball toum, Howover, they are heavily handicapped. That uniform is cor- tainly very Billy Harrington, and Brush should domand that Pr 1t Williams shuffles tho cards again and give him an other cut. Allof the Raphaelesquo lights and shades of the millennium plan aro couspicuously brought out 1n his prosont aggrogation, and he has got to be a good top and bottom dealor 1o ever get within hailing distance. 1t was cold and aark and dreary yesterday, but dospite this discouraging condition of things, quito & fair crowd went out to Sportsman’s park to sce tho second bout bo- tween tho Hoosiers and tho LRustler The bulk of the conceurss, howover, tho genus bleacher. Promptly at 3 o'clock Umpire MeQuatd put ® new ball on tap, and a misguided voung man, yolept (iaylo, on account of the won derful slowness of his speed, took his position within the littls square near the centwr of the atamond. He was full of hope, confidencoand prunes. orts, was of Gayle's Great Beforo ho pitchod the first ball he looked 1t carefully over, rubbed it botweon his palms, smclt of it,'spit on his hands, took @ rost on the funco aud pulled tho trigger, It was o good stot—nearly taking Shoi- beck's foot off —and limping painfully, for the umpire’s sake, ho went to first. Young Mr. (iayle was oxasparated, and he ahook his good right paw fiercely, and an al- titudinous piten was the consequence. On this Shy ran to second. Rovert (:Hlics then prossed his club azainst & nice drop, a regular marshmallow, and Shy scampered home. Bobby embezzled tho next bag himself, but was caught trying to get home on Kel's safo drive. The next moment Tun Berger slammed Collopy out at first, and your Uncle suc cumbed on a high ono'to Letcher. What ought to have b pilo of runs dwindled down to one pearly little tally. But the Jays aldo’t last as long as iv takes to tell it. McQuaid quit_on & pop-up to Collopy, Lawrenco smashea A3olus iu the jaw throe successive times, ana he, too, wandered into other paths and byways. Mr. Letehor shocked the wholo team by making a hit. Then O'Brien, of German e: traction, sont a little lazy ono’ down to Col- lopy and when he reachod first your Unclo bad it there waiting for him. And the Jays failed to scoro. Cump, Hayes and Fitzgerald furnished spocdy outs. Louis P. from Quinn to O'Brien, I24d16 to O'Brien, and the song and dance man on three weird lunwes into space. For the Billy Harringtons Quinn was tho first man up. Ho tools his position at the bat and nevor said a word, but stood and looked at Darby in a way that mado his heart beat thick and fast. Ho made four failures to put her over, and Quinn took first. Some Double Plays Come Up, Bergor fouled to Collopy and on OldHick- ory's hot smash to the same corner the two runners were doubled. Colly shot the ball to Fitz and itz to Uncl And the Juys failed to score. In the next Darby led off with a groundor that had whiskers on it that would have mado Gus Schmelz sick with envy. Shy flow out to Letcher and Gilks forced Darby at socond, and Kelly did likowiso for Robort. Again wero the Javs doubled, ‘After Tommy Naglo, the bov who used to tino ‘em down to sccond like bullots from a gun, in the halevon duys of 'S0, had been switched off at first by Collopy, Gayle made 8 hit. Following this marvelous achievo ment_cama a nica littlo parobolic fly to Col- lopy from McQuaid's bat, and boforo Gayie could get buck to first ho nailed him, too, And'the Hoosiers failed to score, 1n tho fourth Collopy reached first on an accidental bunt. Rowe hit to (ayle, and, ambitious to give tho Rustlers a'taste of their own medicine, ho turned to cut Colly off at secoud, but instead throw wild, and Colly went on to third aud your Uncle to second. But neithor got any further. Camp struck out, Gayle and O'Brien aftendoed to Hayes, and Old Hick and O'Brion to Fitz. or 'the Harringtons Lawrence gashed the circumambient, Darby threw O'Brien out at first, and Quinu did the gashing act again, And the Jays failed to scoroe. Old Hickory juggled a hotone from the end of Darby’s stick, and a wild pitch ticketed him to second.” Shy miscued on his sacritice, his half-hearted” fly falling into McQueid’s uphfted maulsys, Lawrence took another oue from Gilks, aud it looked like anothor arid wasto for Omahs. But Telly came noxt. He felt as if somothing ought to ve doue, and-he did it. Swinging hisomnibus polo be broughtit forward squarn against one of youug Gayle's bighest priced, and_when the ball bit” way out in Buok Keefe's conter orocus bed, Darby was in and Kel puffing on secona, 'Ho stole third and Collopy’s second safe scored him. Your Uncle popped up & high one and Old Hick earnud another p. o. Pleasant to the Eun Then just to keep their hand in the Rust- lers exccuted auother double—their third in the game, Quinn wont to first on valls. Borgor pushed s grounder down toShy, who scooped it up and threw it to Fitz aud Quinn_was nippoed, thon Fitz tired it on to your Unclo and Bergor wus also made a sucker of, Car- penter died euroute to first, Sny's quick throw beating them by a dozen yards or more. And again the Jays falled to score, In thesixth Camp beat a littie infield tap out, Haves fouled to Nagle and Fitzgerald to O'Brien, while Daroy wafted. ‘T'he Hoosiers aidn't last as long. Me- Qumd flew out to Shy, and Darby threw the Tudiana battery out at first. And again thoy fuilea to score. 1n the pext the Rustlers made heir fourth and last run. Shy mado & it and Gilk got bis base on four wide oves. Kelly hit to Gayle and Shy was beadod off at thirg, but on Collopy's third safe bit Bob got home and Kelly o third. On Rowe's hit to Carpenter he and Kolly were doubled, Carp throwing Uncie outat first, and O'Brien el at tha plate, As usual the Jays failed to score, and in faot kept on failing until the uinth, when, by the grace of Omaha's ouly error, thay managed 1o squeezo iu a soltary tally, and were happy. About this time Letcher delivered himsolf of the ouly evioence he has so far given of his right to draw & salary. Uncle drove one away out into right for a good bavd single, Collopy was tearing along toward ghome at the time Letcher got the ball. What did he dol Why, that big Jay turew to Nagle as as anything vou ever seen, and Col s caught at Lbe plate. This is bow the Jays got the run MoQuaid made 8 hit, and Lawrence fol- lowed with a hot one down to Collopy, and over eager Lo cut tho game off short Colly threw to Fitz to cateb Mag, but his throw was bad, and both runuors landed safe. Lewher's crifice advanced the runners, aud on O'Lrien’s loug fly Lo Kel, the tirst ran home. Then Quinn struck out and the game Was A 00 moro this afternoon, thou romes Cush- man's torriors, the Milwaukes boer-jerkers. The soore: OMANA ONTTaT s 8.

She fell i with bad company and _was loa astray. This fact reachéd Mrs. New- tow's cars, and in company with Oficer Humpel sho made a search for her daughter, but was unablo to find the wayward one. Tho girl nad avplied for admission at a Twenty-seventh street resort, but was refused. Tho polico found the young girl in com- pany with Ben Bavman, a young man em- ployed at a packing house in this city. The couple wero located on Twenty-fourth strect, botwoen J and K streets. In Barman’s po session were soveral letters from tho girl iudicating that a strong affection existed be- tween the two. One lettor in particular gives proof to the assertion. In this missive tho young girl in afectionato terwms gives notice to her lover that suo has taken poison aud 1s dying for him. Both wero placed under arrest and takon to the polico station.

CALL FOR A‘J'ENT!RELV NEW CREED Matters to BePresonted at the Meeting of the Goneral Assembly at Portland, Ore,, This Month Which Will At- Attentio neral Portiaxn, Ore, May 1.—[Special to Tne Brr. ] 'or soveral months the Presbyterians of Portland and its vicinity have been pre- paring for the meeting of the genoral assom- bly of the Presbyterian church, which will begin on May 10 and last nearly two weoks, Althiough this is the 01th meoting of the as sombly this venerable body has never been further west thun Omaha, and only onco has it mot 80 far west as that. For a number of yoars the project of carrying the Presbyte- rians to the Pacific const has been under dis cussion, aud after numerous consultations and--what was cqually important--the lay- ing aside of a mileage fund large enough for tho increased expenses cousequent upon such an extended trip, the claims of the Paciflo coast wero seriously considered last year at Dotroit, Mich, Invitations wero ro- vived from the ( church of Sau Francisco and the urch of this city. I3ut the h that eaptured the assembly was given by Dr. A. J. Brown, the pastor of tho I%irst church, and by an almost unani mous vote it was decided to accopt the invi- ation. Early in tho fall o large committes of arrangements was appointed, with special committees on hospitality, ' information finance, preparation of assembly rooms, mis- sions and pulpit, pross and printing, banquot, eXCursion, nusie, ailroad and trans, portation, and an executive committee com prising the leading clorgymen and laymen of the presbytory. Proparations have been made for tho entertainment of 2,000 people-— commissioners, officers and visitors, Dr. Brown promised last year freo entertainment for at least 2,000 commissioners and §20,000 Af necessary for tha expenses. It is the wish of the PPortland people that the assembly so soon to moet in their city should be pre-eminently a missionary s sembly, and to that end & commit- teo has been appointed to bring this question specially’ before the commis- sioners who, ~ in reaching _ Port- iund, will travorse the great mission field of tho church. The Iirst church issues a wontbly puper, called “The Hesperian,” and early in the season, in an editorial, this state ruent was made: “Home and foreign mis- sions should have at Joast a day each and move if possible. Tho committee on mis- sions and pulpits will_endeavor by corre- spondence and otherwise to bring this about and to prevent those causes being crowded into a corner. Wo arc interested in tho Brigys caso and 1u revision, but the problem of tho evaneelization of the' great west is to us ot paramount importance.” But while the committee feels so strongly about home missions it will be utterly rossiblo to crowd the Briggs case revision into ascorner. In fact, it seems probable that the coming assewmbly will be wade memorabla by the defeat of revision and the orderifig of anew creed for the Prosbyterian cturch. The revision commit- tec uppointed two years ago, with Dr. W. € IRoberts, president of the Lake Forestuniver- sity, as its chairmay, bas propared 1ts second renort which hag been made public. By tho limitations imposed when tue appointment was made tho comuittee was unable to intro- duce any propusitions tending to impair the Calvinistic systam of§ doctrine taugnt in the confession, and it is admitted that the mem- bers of the cowmitiees have done their best in view of all th¢ circumstances, but they have mnot - satisfied the great mass of the churchi it is believed. Many of those who 1) opposad revisicn at the outset, feol that the committee have gone too far, while those who were extrome rovision- ists insist that the result is altogether too couservative anil that the'chahges made are not at all satisfactory, and, further, that tho temper of the chureh iu ' regard to revision has chauged siuce the matter was first broatcned, and that no revision is possible now which will satisfy all parties. The only thing that can keep the Presbyterian church united, they say, 15 not an unrevised confes sion, nor the confession as amended by the revision committee, but & new .creed which will in some respects resemble the one out- linod by Dr. Henry Van Dyke of New York City. When disoussing tne matter ia his prosbytery he said that those whom he rep- resented wanted a now statement of ess tial doctrine for four reasons : “Iirst, because 1t will be simplar. Wo want somethiog that a plain man can undor- staud: something we can put into the bunas of thoso that need instruction without con fusing their minds. Sccond, because it will be more scriptural. We want somothing that has the tone and accent of the New Pestament: somothing less liko a law paper und more like a oreed, which can be read 1n the churches without injuring the spirit of devotion; something that will uplift and warm the heart.

In political theology the important thing the emphasis. We want a creed that will lay a massive em- phasis upon the lovo of God for the whole world, the atonement of Christ for all man- Kind, and the free, sincero offer of the gospel for every creature.” Tho revision committee, on the contrary, feel that if its report is adopted it will satis{y ull except a few extreme conservi- tivos and a few extreme radicals who will be equally unable 1o agree upon a now creed. ‘I'ne progress of the discussion of this im- portant question will be walched with ereat intorest.

After the committee had made its report citing the charges and specifications, and Dr. Briggs bad made a reply, the pres bytery dismissed the case, and it is against this action that the appeal is brought. In addition to that the members of the com- | mittee have lodged a complaint against tho prosbytery with the New York synod. Ac cording to tho usual courso tho case should go from tho presbytery tothe synod and then 1o the assembly, and the appeal may not be brought up this spring.

Ho ling sorved as modorator of the synod of PPhil- adolphia, and would mako a strong moder ator. Dr. McPhorson is a promise and is oxceodingly popular in the west. Ho is a progressive man, and tho only word neard against his solection is that Chicago has had two moderators within tho last ten years, Dr. Horriek Johnson aud Dr. Marquis, ana that it is not fair to tho rest of the chureh to choose a man from Chicago so young man of much soon again.
