“ROCK ISLAND GOT EVEN Harry Sage's Hands Took the Third of the Opening Beries, GAME WAS FULL OF QUEER INCIDENTS ©Ono of the Funniest Features Was the Work of the Umpire~McVey's Work at First Is Responsible for the Defenat.

Chicago, 6 peinnatl, 6. City The biggest circus on earth was on ex- yesterday. hibition at Charles Street park There was only one ring, but nineteen clowns, the umpire being the funniest of the outfit, with McVey a close second and MeMackin at his hecls. Umpire Haskell intends well and will make a first-class man in the pesition, but there are a few things he must learn before this can be consummated, chief among whi is the fact that the players themselves have some rights the umpire must respect. They do not always have to come a-runnin’ at his beck and call, and they are frequently in the right when he thinks they are all wrong. In the third innings yesterday Haaskell not only fined Sage $10, but he put him out of the game, and for no offense whatsoever, at that. He had just as much right to fire Grover Cleveland from the white house as he did to put Sage out of yesterday's contest. McMackin has a fashion of delivering an fllegal ball, that is, he cunningly manages to hide it from the batter's view just before sending it in. Sage called Haskell's atten- tion to this several times and Haskell cau- tioned Sammy once or twice, He still per- sisted, however, and Sage remindcd Haskell again. This seemed to rouse the latter's ire and he commanded Sage to shut up, and on Sage's attempting to explain to him that he was violating no base ball law in trying to make his opponents ‘‘tote fair” Haskell plastered a $5 fine on to him. “I can stand the fine,” remarked Sage, “but I don't want to he beaten out of the game."” *“That costs you five more,” exclaimed Has- kell, “and more than that, you get out of the game!” Sage rebelled for a time, but wisely seeing he was working a large and enthusiastic crowd up to the fever pitch, rather than disappoint them, he withdrew, ‘and Zeis took his place, while Lawrence went into the fleld. The crcwd cheered the umpire, because it thought he was right, but in this case the crowd did not understand the situation. An umpire who cannot get along with Harry Sage has no business in a game of ball. He doesn’t know how to be unruly and is a gentleman at every step of the road. However, the umpire, while some of his declsions yesterday were of a decidedly jaun- fliced hue, did not lose the game for Omaha. Georgiana McVey claims that honor alone and single handed, and there is no endeavor here to take away any of his laurels. While I assert that the umpire did not lose the game for Omaha yesterday, he cer- tainly did prevent her from tying the score in the ninth inaing by his faulty and ridicu- lous decisions. 1In ev.dence of this fact fir:t cast your eagle eye over the following tes- timony: w=. TROUBLE IN THE LAST INNING. At the opening of the last inning the score stood 20 to 16 in favor of the boiler makers. The Rourke family needed four runs to tie and five to win, Paddy Doyle was the first man up. Soneir gave him first on balls, and a passed ball pushed him to corner number two. McMackin's scratch infield hit boosted him along ninety feet further, and Mac stole second. The bleachers and stands were in a delirium of excitement when Seery toed the seratch, and when Zeis let another ball get Dby him and Paddy ran over the oyster and Sammy to third, they fairly howled with jo; They kept it up when Seery trotted do: to first on another ‘quartet of wide ones. They saw a dead heat looming up in the rosy distance, The world rested on Jack Munyun's well rounded shoulders. He took his position. He handled his club nervously and great globules of perspiration cbased each other NUMBER 9. * Send or bring FOUR conpons and ten cents ineoin to this office and fve the SUL part of this supe Story of the War told by the on both sides.

MAY 7, 1894, down his fair young cheek like a procession of horse collars, the attenuated Frenchman by a half 4 mile, then the crowd groaned as Mister Haskell called The first ball another strike on him. It was do or die now, and Jack braced himseif. His stick described a yellow clréle in the alr, then there was a crash. The crowd yelled, then It was a foul. Here 1s where the umpire did his worst He called ft a strike and the batter out, that it was an attempted bunt. Think of that and weep. An attempted bunt with a man on second and third, one man out and three runs needed to tie the score. Wouldn't that jar you? But it went, and then to cap the climax McVey struck out himself, and it left Wood to_turn the trick He lined one out safely and Sammy scored and Seery perched on third There was one more chance, It was Papa Rourke's. He smashed the sphere down fo Judge and the Judge grabbed it up, fumbled then threw low to Cantillion. He got the ball on the second bound, simul- taneously with the econd Papa's No. 9 fell like a big griddle cake on the bag. It was awfully, awfully close, but Haskell gave antillion the henefit of the doubt, and Papa and Omaha had lost the day. M'VEY'S WONDERFUL WORK. I will not weary the gentle reader with the details of the landslide that fell upon the Rourkes in the eighth. Suffice it to say the Rock Islands hammered out eleven great big runs, with fat on their bellies an inch thick, and won the game in a canter. This too, mind you, was all accomplished after two men were out, McVey making a muff of a thrown ball by Rourke that actually smelt bad. And he wasn't satisfied yet, for he made two more of ‘em, all casy ones, in less time than It takes to tell it, and when the smoke rolled away Captain Sage could be seen under the shadow of the grand stand packing the game away in a jar to take back to Rock Island with him. Maybe he didn't get revenge for the slight put upon him, Horatio? Probably 1 ought to add a word about Sammy McMackin's pitching, and probably T hadn't, so I guess I won't. It was an off day, however, for Sammy, but when the dog days roll 'round hell be all right again, then he'll show you what he can do, and that's no_cocoanut, either. Fully 3,000 people saw the dump, but they weren't a bit disappointed, for take all the queer frills of the game into consideration, the visitors somehow got into the confidence of the crowd, and the erowd rooted for them just as it they were at home, and the um- pire was doing mean things to them But cheer up. We can't win always, 1f we aid the game wouldn’t last long, would it? The Jax will be here this afternoon and you don’t want to miss the first game. The score: OMAHA. AB. R. 1B. SIL SB. PO. A, E.

He roamed over the ad- jacent roads all night, but fortunately did fot injure himself on the barbed ~wire fences that abound in that locality. = “It was a_dastardly plece of work, said Orrin_Hitcheock. “It is a_case of spite, and T have no hesitation in saying it must have been done by a former groom of the horse.

Horse- men here believe Bethel, who has a mark of 2:06%, and Nellie Kneebs are identical. Kneebs has a horse mamed Nellie K with him, but it s about 16 years old and was a “skate” in its palmy days, so it is not be- lieved it can be Nelile Kneebs. Frank Slavin's Cousin Whipped. MEMPHIS, May 6-Jimmy Casey of Memphis and Jimmy Slavin of Austraila, a cousin of Frank Slavin, the heavywelght, fought on the Arkansas side of the river today for a purse of $150.

TOO MANY MEDltAL COLLEGES EXIST Nebraska Already’ Ifids More Than Her Share—What Constitates Unprofessional Conduct Defined—Some General Ob= servations Concerning Doctors. LINCOLN, May 6.—(Special to The Bee.) ~THe recent discussion of the question of medical ethics in this state has drawn out Dr. Beghtol, chalrman of the board of sec- retarfes of the State Board of Health, and in a paper read before the State Medical assoclation the doctor from Friend devotes considerable time and many words to a de- fense of the position taken by the secre- tarfes of the board. In the course of his paper he uses the following argument: “It I8 not my purpose to discuss the sub- Ject of public hyglene, but I may touch upon it further on in this paper as a measure in future legislation, Our present law gives the State Board of Health, of which I am a member, no sanitary power. The work of the board s somewhat of a judiclal nature, relating not immediately to public health measures, as is usually the work of such bodies in other states, but solely to the reg- ulation of the practice of medicine. We have not vet attained the age when the fittest survive. “Public economy has demonstrated the wisdom of medical legislation. To protect and_foster _the growth’of the scienced\has heen the policy of all civilized nations. The relation of the physician to the patient is a confidential one. Persons suttering from real or imaginary disease do not select medical advice Wwith the same judgment they would exercise in a commercial transaction. While we of Nebraska have an interest fn common with the medical profession everywhere, yet we are most especially concerned in our temporal salvation. To construct and main- tain a law it must in a reasonable degree conform to the present wants and will of the people. State medicine, as in Germany, is too monarchial for the American citizen. Medical laws in the different states should and will differ in their provisions in con- formity to the varied conditions of society. We have too many medical colleges. They are becoming too numerous in Nebraska. The high sounding name of ‘profe:sor’ Is very alluring to the ordinary doctor, and he hastens to erect a medium for ethical ad- vertising. He who made two blades of grass to grow, etc., was a benefactor, but I do not believe that will apply to medical col- leges. “‘We come now to that portion of the law which gives the board the right to re- fuse or revoke certificates for dishonorable or unprofessional conduct. This clauze has .been the questio vexa of the board and the profession. The board has from the first exercised and mattained its prerogatives under this clause, but not with the success desired, for want of, an appropriation. There is a distinetion between the ethics which govern societies ahd the law which governs the people. To say that a physiclan shall not advertise may'be maintained by the so- cleties, while the bbard deals with the legal proposition that heé who' does advertise must do so without deceit or 'false statements. A soclety has rights of ‘discrimination which the public has not. You might refuse a man his presence’in your house, and yet you could not driveihint' out of town. “‘Among the thihgs which the board con- siders unprofessional agp:. Claiming to cure, for advanced compensation, diseases which are considered incupable; claiming to pos- sess unusual skilk/rdxperience or facilities, and setting forth 0. claims by handbills or circulars or new; T8; immoral conduct or drunkenness while attending a patient; committing or attempting to commit an abortion; practicing under an assumed name; buying. ‘or fraudulently holding a degree. certificate or license; unwarrantable violation of professional secrets, which are ordinarily held to be sacred and inviolable.” LINCOLN IN BRIEF. The State Board of Equalization, which has been at work for the past ten days, prac- tically completed its labors last night, and the annual report will be ready for the put- lic within a day or two, or as soon as. the clerks in the auditor's office can make the compilation. Secretary Dilworth of the State Board of Transportation returned last night from Su- perior, where he went to personally investi- gate a case of alleged discrimination on the part of the Missouri Pacific railroad against the grain dealers of that town, The d*Zeulty was amicably adjusted, Lincoln's real estate transfers for the past week aggregated $69,331. Tho total for the year up to date fs $1,710,886. Clearings for Lincoln' banks for the past week aggregated $118,762, as agalnst $529,325 for the corresponding week last year. The Fifth Ward Republican club held a lively meeting last night and selected the following delegates to the coming convention of league clubs: J. M. Thayer, Albinus Nance, «H. M.

Forty-six unemployed ‘men of this city started last evening for Norfolk, where they will work during the season in the beet fields. Another delegation will leave tomor- row. Attorney Darnell, who was so seriously in- jured in a runaway accident one day last week, is still confined to his bed, but is pro- gressing slowly toward recovery. He will commence suit against Henry Saunders, the owner of the team which ran into and wrecked his carriage and killed his horse. Italsed the Price of Elcctrie Light.

TS IN CLAY COUNTY, Weather Favorable for Small Graln and Corn About All Planted. HARVARD, Neb., May 6.—(Special to The Bee.)—The continued cool weather, with light showers, has been fine for the fall wheat and oat crop., Three-fourths of the corn has been planted and many of the farmers are entirely through planting. The prospect for fruit was never better. Oakley Johnson returned Thursday from the Midwinter fair. Mr. Johnson is an old resident of California, but says crops look better in Nebraska this spring, and it takes something besides climate to beat Clay county for a home. State Treasurer Bartloy, Hon. A, R Humphrey and R. H. Townley of Lincoln spent Tuesday hunting with N. B. Updiks in the vicinity of Harvard and carried home over fifty birds, besides having lots of sport and narrow escapes from snake bites.
