THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNMDAY JULY 1892--SIXTEEN PAG £hort Dissertations on This, That aud the | Other in Base Ball. WHAT THE NATIONAL LEAGUE MEANS The Coming Bench Show—The Festive DByker—Danny Daly's Chan ~The Hors an's Chat and Breezy eneral Notes, HEN the minor baso ball oreanizations devise ways and means of existenco without holding A\ themselves sub- | [T servient to the | National 1eague, then and only then, will the game de- velop even into a satisfactory busi- ness venturs. The Western loague pays so much per club to the major body for the privilege of drawing their oreath. This tax is also supposed to assuro tho lesser organizations Immunity against inroads from unscrnpulous managers and base ball agents, ahid several other varioties of protection. But the fact 1s it assures or insures nothing, absolutely nothing, so far as the National teague is concerned. It is all powerful, ow- ever, among the organizations of the minor order. They are uot allowed to monkoey with each other in ony patticalar, but forced to live like cooing doves togetner, If there is any monkeving to be done the National will do it. They have pienty capacity, plenty inclination and plenty timo 1o do all the monkeying for tho wholo base ball contingency. 1f the national leagio wants a plaver from the ranks of any of the minocs, she gets him by hook or crook, 1f the club who holds his contract refuses to surrender him for o nowm- inal figure, in order that the transaction may bave a busiuess like aspect, 1t will be found that some oae of the National league clubs have an old prior claim on him, and thoy gobble him up without reward or conscience, The Genins caso for illustration. Ttis the same with umpires and every- thing else. This spring Nick Young declarea that Jack MeQuaid should neverumpiro ano ther gamo in the National league. Jack said ho thought New York mado Boston scveral presents last fall in order to beat the grand old man of Chicago out of the championship. That made Uncle Nick, as well as all Boston and New York, very sore on His McQuaid- lets, and notwithstanding he was tho most finished and competent umpire in the business, thoy refused him a job this spring, They ud a lotof Hursts, Emslies, Maccullars, Walters, Mahoneys aud similar vegetavles on hand, and informed Mr. Me- Quaid that he might go back to carrying the hod for ail they cared. So Jack, he signed with the Millenium Plan outfit. He is the only real umpire wo have haa, but we had to give him up. ‘The leaguo staff, aside from IKing Gaff, quickly proved very Wally Fessenden, and to keep the populace in line in several cities, it was necessary that a heiper for Gaffuey be sccured. That meant Jack McQuaid. Now the story is being circulated that Me- Quaid's contract with President Williams this spring was a conditional one, and his resigantion was gracefuily accepted. The truth of the matteris tho arrogant leagne simply reached out and picked Colonel McQuaiid off the Western bush, just like the arcpping of a rotten apple. The ivinor organizatious, sooner or later, will be lreght to contracts that will bind, irrespectivs of league protection, assistanco or advice, Ie ==in secret of the non-suc- cess of all the minor organizations ever - corporated, is_the fac t {hat from their in- ciplency the National league opens up its life-sanping tactics It Will Bo Repealed. The great and only base ball rule-maker, Nichodemus E. Young, bhas a little job on hand which, it is hoved, be will attend to at his earliest conyenience, and that is the abro- gation of the faiotic law that denies a ‘man his base when struci on the hand or forearm Ly a pitched ball. This rare picce of legisla- tion certainly never evolved from Grandpa Nick’s eagle brain, and 1 know as soon as his massive oye falls on this—for grandpa has read Tur Bee for lo! these meny years -he will set ubout securing 1ts appeal. Whea Indiandpolis was last time, Frank Genius - received a gmash on the hand from one of Vickery’s caiinon shots that fairly pulver- ized his arm up to the elbow. It notonly knocked him out of the game, but kept hin on the bench for a week afterwards, and for atime it was highly doubtful whether he would ever permunently recover from the burt or not. It wus a horrible smash, and that night Frank’s d was as black as vour hat. But be never got his base. Gun- ther, the novelist, was umpiring, and ho ro- fusea to allow Genins to walk down, nor, bowever, because ho was cognizant of any rule providing for such a decision, bnt be- cause ho claimed that it was the wrong hand that received the blow, He said 1fit had been his right instead of bis left, he would have allowet Lim his base. And ditor Richteris so glad Gunthy, his protege, is doing well out west. But to return to the rule in auestion. It wgs originally formulated to reach the caso of such foxy boys as Curt Welch, There is the boy who can mako his base about twica out of threo times by adroitiy recoiving the ball against bis hand, arm or shoul- der, und & man who an and does do this, is not only deserving of his buso, but ought to be ullo 10 score, to boot. But, several particulars, thero isn’t a half dozen Curt Welehs in the busine On the contrary the average bull player is ns fear- ful of boing hit by tt as ho is of facing bis landlady, and the Welch trick wus a rare one fudeud. Al ,What a pretty mess was made cut of the Western league scheaule in the first cham- pionship division this season, to bo sure. This, however, was partly owing to the per- sistent interference of J. Pluvins, but mainly 10 the shortsightednoss of tho scheaule com- mittee, Not once this spring haus the Omaha sranks been given an oppostunity to soo what kind of ball either tho Milwaukeo or Minnespoils teams put up. ‘I hey wero both uere for a series of games, but in each in- stanco were forestalled bva heavenly shower bath. On the othr hand Omaba has been dosed with St. ’sul-Fort Wayne to the ex- tent thut the sight of old Cy Sutcliffe, Iutty Dugdaleor tho Hogariver is enough to turn tho average fan's stomach, We had ‘em here to open the season, thoy came back In May, again in June, and yo goas und littio Gishos, they will be inflicted on us for the fourth successive time one week from next Weduesday, when thoy ure booked for ouly four moro 'games. About hall the local cravks already believe that thero are only two teams in tho circmt, Omaba and Fort Wayno, s0 uccustomed havo they become to the battles between thesetwo. But that isn't ull. Milwuukee will not be seen on the home grounds until August 13, nor Minneapolis till tho Gth, but in the meantime wo will have Indianapolis and Toledo, two more old lund- marks, until you can't rest. 1 am not quite sure whether this beautiful schedulo is part and parcol of the great milleunium plun or not, but judging from its artistic finish it must be & compouent part of the chiefest churacter, here tho a's Triu arch, Tho Omabas are now engaged iu the first serles of tho socond ebawpioushbip aivision, They have threc more games with Toledo, one this afternoon aud two tomorrow, mori- ing and afteruoon, After the Pirates have been all manacied and chucked away iu the hold, Joe Walsh will saunter ulong with bis bunctuous band of Buckeyes, Thoy will be here July 6, 8,9 and 10. Uncle Dave says he's simply going to kill 'em.

Will be in Omaha this fall with a big athletic combination. JAcK PRINCE. Following is tho clipping referred to: Fully 1,000 people were present at Frank- lin park last evening and witnessed tho race between Jack Prince, the champion long dis. tanco bicyclist of the world, aud *‘Sorrel Doc,” a trotter owned by John Hrown. The start was made shortly after 7 o'clock, and for the first half mile the horse and bicyclo kept together. T'ho second hatf Prince took the lead down the stretch and kept it until tho fourth balf-mile, when tuey passed unaer the wire side by side, The third milo was finished with the horso about fifty feet in the lead. Priace eradually closed the gap, and on the next half-mile was fifty feet in the lead, finishing toe fourth half-mile about 100 fect ahoad of the horse. The next haif found him 300 feet in the lead, and the fifth mite was finished with Prince over an eighth of a milo ahead of thoe horse. The en- tire five miles was mado in 16 minutes and 23 seconds, The best mile was made in 2:17, Princo rode u Clevelund pneumatic geared 10 sixty-eight inches. 3 Mauy of the leading horsemen aro discuss- ing the question of whether or not Prince can beat five horses in a five-mile rel co. In that way the horses would Csiy trot one mile euch and Prince would have to do the five or better. It is quite likely that such « race will be arranged wittin o few days.—Zanesville Signal. Chbarlie Soyder as Tim O'Rourke slid into second last Thursday at Columbus, after being punched 10 the neck with the ball in Shiebeck’s hands. #Oh, Charlie, 1've broken his neck!” cried Shy imploringly. “Tsaid he was safe,” replied the autocrat of the mask. Then Uncle walkel tn from first and, placiug bis big, kootty fist uuder Suyder's proboscis, he shook it suggestively, with the following pleasant bit of raillery ; “You big loafer, what do you mean by such work! Ior a half a cent I'd break your ugly face!” “Phat will cost you just $25!" interjected the hero of the betting sheds as he backed away from Unclo. “What's thatt" fiercely demanded Uncle, who was now so hot under the collar that his undershivt was scorching, and ho made s reach for Snyder's juw. **You are & nice spee ball game, baw't you! referee a cock fight. Twenty-five dollars! I'll make you eat the First National bank, you big loafer!” and Unclo was about to kill bim, when the police were called out, and Uncle was assisted into a puicton and driven from the grounas, Then the White Sox jumped onto Fred- erickus Clausen and beat bim 2 to 0. Who Suid Guath was Crazy, Nichol of Toledo was at the bat. Guenther umpiring. “Ono strike!’ called Richter's protege, as one of Darby’s high ones fairly scraped the cobwebs from the clouds. *“I'wo strikes, three strikes and out ! cried Gunth, as Nichol smashed at a curve, whiri- fug clean round from sheer forceof the blow, “That's ounly two,” yellea Nichol in des- eration, &8 he turned Lo the serene Mr, iuenthér. “Isay it is threo,” he calmly repliod; *you struck at that one twice, Aund Nichol fell dead at his feet. Why didu't the league Lake Guenther and leave us McQuaidl; John T, Says It L't So. The report seat out from Loulsville six or bt days ago that the last meeting of the ional league cousiderca tho delloguency men to be judge of & Wby you couldp't of the Western league, 13 denied by John T. Brush, writds Manager Sharsjg from Indian- apolis. Billy says that Mr, Brush emphat- ically declared that no such matter was con- siderod, and that the proceedings show there was 1o reference whatever to the Western league. He further says that the matter of dues could not come before the league, but instead would ¢o to the board havinz cbarge the national agreement. 1t is statod in con- nection with the Western league that, wuile it has suffered heavy financial loss during the first half of the season, which was due to the weatber, there is reason to believe that all losses can be recovered before the closo of the season in Saptember next. The low salary limit has been its salvation, and nothing but good weather and good ball play- ig are necessary from now on to insure & profit. The Omaha keanel Club, The encouragement accorded the Omaha Kennol club during the first year of its ex- istence by many admirers of the dog nas led tho directors to feel confident that 8 bench show can be successfully arranged during the coming fall, and have consequently fixed unon the 25th aud 25th, inclusive, of October next for the first exhibition, which will be held under the muspices of the American Kennel ciub, and of which full and due no- tice will be given.

Thera .isn’t a balf dozen Western league piayers’ who would last over night with the old orgamzation. The second :championship division in the Wostern league is now on, and promisos to be a vast improvement over the first. Tho local team has been materially strengthened and will assurediy make a good showing. Jiggs Parrott, the Minneapolis third base- man, they say, is making a great rep. Wo don’t know anything about the younz man down hore because we have never had a chanceto see him play, and :the season is more thaa nalf over. Columbns will not have the walkover in the second division she enjoyed in the first. She made a lucky start, whilo ail the other teams fell down, but the present raco will be an equal one all' through. Several surprises are in storo for the enthusiasts. Uacle Dava is too quick tempered and loses mauy a point by constantly antagonizing the umpire. It Uncle would oaly wait until after the game, and thon take him benind the drossing room and puton the mitts with him, the general results would be better. Charlis Hoover, who is certainly a great backstop, is catching out of sight in the Montana league. Hoover and old John Bar- loycorn were & groat pair in the Western league, and it was their intimacy that led to the former’s ejection from the ranks. Emmot Suery was offored an engagement by the Western league, but &s he owns a pineapple plantation in Florida, he says he cannot afford to play anywhere but in the big league.—Exchange. That's his double, then, goboling up flies down in Indianapolis’ outfield. The second championship season promises to redeem the losses of the first. Omahais in better condition than at any time during the year, and 1s playing superb ball.

Brush ownes both Cinciunati an Inddianapolis, base vallically speaking, he will keep Genins on tho Hoosiers' payroll, avyway,uatil there 15 @ break in Cincinuati’s ouitield. Goorgo Keofe, who struck the banana peel early in tho fight, has jumped Fort Wayno and has been blacklisted, In the light that Keafe was to bo *‘chased” anywuy as soon as o man could be found to fill his place, his punishment seems & trifie toug. The wily Cunningham started Keofe on the down erade aud is the most guilty of tho two.
