“REVERSED A LAW OF NATURE Papa Rourke Turns Darwin Upside Down in Dealing with the Eaints, MADE MONKEYS OF THE SLUGGERS Conqaering Crow Crushed Completely in a Contest Suciently One Sided to Be U ting—Dotalls of the First Inning Only.

Com atively speaking, they are not In it with Grandpa Traffley's Prohibitionists, and it the Rourke family ever surrenders another ball to them they should be led out into the barn one by one and quietly asphyxiated. The day was warm and sultry, just the kind of weather for outdoor sports, and a large crowd was on hand to see what kind of work It Is that has put the Missourians at the head of the procession They saw It and are now convinced that if they could here long enough Papa Rourke would metas morphose the leaders into tail enders. Ho made monkeys out of them from the very start, and should any one undertake to con tradict_this statement his argument would prove decrepit from beginning to end. It was a bonaflde ca of retrograde evolution, from the ball player to the anthropoidal ape. On seve occasions they showed some con- formity in their actions to those of ball players, but it would require all the world to doviso plans by which the psychical func- tions which distinguishes ball players from all other lving creatures could be imparted to t Experience has ht us, how: ever; that no matter how monkeyfled the St. Joes have become, assoc fon with such model ball players as our own beloved Rourkes are will return them to something like thelr old form, that is in the course of three or four generation: Attempts, how- _ever, to cultivate the Missourians up to Bill Rourke's standard must prove futile, as these good-natured chimpanzees can never hope to reach such an exalted altitude. Away from hore they may do all right again, but as long as they remain in Omaha they must be classified with the long-tailed animals of the anthropomorphous variety, and bear the name of ball players simply because of their anatomical resemblance to them. Considering with what phenomenal dls- crimination Captain Cole’s menagerie acts in its Intercourse with ball players, the inquis- itiveness the members exhibit at all times and the aptitude with which they have Tearned to imitate batters, catchers and run- mers, it is not to be wondered at that the most logical philosophers down in St. Joe have heen led Into the belief that they really are bail players. . Now, T will endeavor. to substantiate what Tas been said in the foregoing by a detailed description of the opening Innings. WHERE THE TROUBLE BEGAN. Tet’s see. An octogenarian, yclept Seery for' short, caught the first bail the slender Mr. Packara unbuckled on the end of his sapling and lammed It up against the right __fleld fence for a bag. Jocko Munyun, con- Gentrating all the muscularity of his system into his wings, succeeded in pushing one down to Mr. Preston at third. Mr. Preston grabbed it firmly about the walst, but in endeavoring to get it across to Mr. Marcum he dislocated hig shpulder blade and the ball foll short by about seven yards, and when Mr. Marcum succeeded in chasing it into a corner whero he tould catch it, Colonel Seery was tylng his shoe on second and Jocko was holding down first. Georglana McVey, thinks ing that. Mr. Preston was a good thing, put another down to him. This, time Mr. Pres- ton shut his eyes, made a biind snatch and got hold of the ball and flung It across to Mr. Marcum just in time. Seery and Jocko, however, had hunched along a notch in the meantime. At this juncture Kid Fear, like an apholopodous mollusk, made his appear- ance. A hectlc flush burned in either cheek and a wild light shone in his dovellke eyes, and it was as plain as mud that he meant td'do something. And he did.

MAGNIFICENTLY 1LL | SNIS——————- over just right, The Kid smote it sore and like a big balloon it salled out into left field, where Mr. McKibben was deeply en- gaged in seratehing his back, He made a frantic effort to catch the descending pigskin | in his apron, but It was futile, for it | bounded off of his protruding chest like so much india rubber, and when he did get his feet on it the extravasated blood was | leaking out of the seams, and Colonel Seery was fanning himself on the bench. apa Rourke awoko from his afternoon nap right here, and with wondrous vigor sent one just Iike the Kid's out to Mr. McFarland, and Mr. McFarland made a bigger mess out of it than Mr. McKibben did. Captain Cole was exacerbated, and when a man is exacerbated look out He frothed at the mouth like a big glass of beer, and made a nolso just like an ourang-outang cracking cocoanuts with his teeth The bags were now all full and Billy Moran eame up with a look on his.face that resem- bled the lid on a hair trunk He hit a flerce one down to Mr. Hollingsworth, and Holly scooped the ball up and killed Jocko just as he was depositing himself on the plate. IT WAS ENDED RIGHT HERE, Still the bags were full and Pedroes, Mexiean hidalgo, came ut of his bristling like a scrubbing brush All was still. Not even a palm leaf fan stirred Pedroes turned and glanced into the stand with a smile on his mug that reminded me of the wild man of Borneo, then he swelled up until he was almost as big as Dave Rowe, | Packard toyed with the ball with misgiv- in Then he parted with it, but he wished he never had, ~Pedroes glued his eyes onto it. You could have heard a house full—the loudness was so deathlike. Pedroes leaned back untik his collar bone touched the plate. He interred his toes in terra firma. He plunged his club into the ball's bow In fragments it flew over the fence, and Fear, Papa and Billy plowed through the air like so many sprinkling wagons, playfully biting ploces out of the atmosphere as they moved along. Captaln Cole emitted wild ery of anguish and had a paroxysm, or at least that is what General Cowin called it. He had some- thing, any way. Everybody scored great crowd flapped clain Paddy Boyle hit another down to Mr. Hol« lingsworth. He essayed to nail it, but had forgotten his hammer. It struck his off knee and bounded in the air. He clawed it down, but too late. Pedroes, gathering him- self up in his arms, n clear round home, while Paddy made second. But that was all, notwithstanding Mr. Mohler fell all over the grounder Peachy Whitehill sent him by freight. Paddy was caught at home, trying to get in backwards, and the missing links came in But what is the use of wasting any moro ink. Haven't I proved conclusively what T alleged in the opening paragraphs? — Didn't Papa make monkeys out of Mr. Cole's quasi ball players, and fsn’t it true, as Mr. Darwin said, that monkeys sprung from men? I bet you it is. But go out this afternoon yourself. They will be on exhibition again, and Papa says he's goin' to stir ‘em up worse than ever. However, there is one ball player on the St. Joe team deserving of unstinted praise, and that Is little Stein, the catcher. —Ho fsn't much bigger than a Jersey sweet po- tato, but oh my, how he does backstop and throw and hit and run bas He is a reg- ular little terror, and ought to be on soms team like the Omahas. He is a good one. He is a protege of Henry Oerter, and Henry says he is worth his weight in gold. Henry, by the way, is an old base ball manages and was once at tho head of the famous old Hannibals.

King of the Two-Year-Olds Defeats a Pair of His Old Rivals at Morrls Park. NEW YORK, June 1%2—Domino Is still King. The attendance at Morris park today was large, although the air was sultry and exertion was anything but pleasant. The attraction was the time-honored Withers stakes for 3-year-olds at a mile, with the unbeaten Domino making his first appear- ance this scason In a race against Henry of Navarre and Dobbins, two of his chief competitors as a 2-year-old. The only one of the crack 3-year-olds needed to make the battle the greatest of the year was Senator Grady, but he s being saved for th Chicago Derby, When the flag fell | Garrison took three lengths the worst of the start, but got into a comfortable po- sition as'soon as they began to climb the hill, Nahma was then in_front, with Dob- bins following, Henry of Navarre next and Domino rattling along in fourth place, These positions were kept until the head of the stretch, when Taral carried Domino in next the rail and let out a link. Down the hill the five horses came almost side by slde, with ahma a trifle ahead. Here Nahma. weakened and was out of the race, while Dobbins was under the whip. It was all over for all but Domino and Henry of Navarre at the last sixteenth and the riders were driving thelr mounts for all they were worth, but try as hard as he might, Garrison could not gain an inch on the black colt in_ front of him and tne rilce was over with'Domino a head In front, It was o grand race and showed that at least one l’llm)’l\l‘ can stuy.

' In three hours last ievening there was g00d work done at the Lawn Tennis club grounds on Harney street and the first round of the singles has now been com- pleted, save for one match &nd two ties in the second round where the players re- celved byes In the first. Cullingham and Tilden were the first into court. Cullingham both owed and gave 15, and these were the odds which it really seemed as if his opponent would be able to make some headway with. The result only goes to show that a handicap is of little use when a weaker player i so far outclasssed. Other matches were In court before this was over, and one of these, be- tween Will Gardner and Haverstick, strung out to almost inordinate length. It took three sets to settle it, and these three sets contained no fewer than thirty-six games. The match was not finished until after 8 o'clock. In the evening there was anexhibition game on the grounds between Cullingham and Cookson_on the one side and C. H. Young and Austin on the other, and this game attracted almost as much attention from the few spectators who had turned out for what was virtually the first day of the tournament as did any of the games between the competitors themselves. “ Tonight the doubles will be started, and the warning 1s ngain offered to all ‘com- petitors to make their appearance on the ground In good time In order that the may not run the risk of being scratched.

The Morse Dry Goods company s about to retire from business; a business estab- lished nearly as long as Omaha itself. The decision has been arrived at after deliberate consideration by the stockholders, the prin- cipal ones having so much other business that it is impossible to give the attention to | the dry goods store that such an undertaking demands. Through all the years of its existence it has been a splendidly managed store, carry- ing a stock unsurpassed as far as quality and styles are concerned, from ocean to ocean. Thousands of dollars worth of goods have been closed out within ‘he last two days, and if the crowds and rrices keep at the present notch, it will be only a question of a few weeks when the Morse company will have closed its entire business. ey Grosvenor Tonlgh The republicans of Nebraska propose to begin the campaign this year before their leaders are chosen and will open the fight this evening at Exposition hall. ~ Congress- man Grosvenor of Ohio will be the chief speaker.

The members of the graduating were Misses Sarah H. Bowen, Katherine L. Col- lins, M. Eloise Couchman, A. Claire Couch- man and Elizabeth McCracken. The exercises held hall, which was filled with pupils and their parents and friends. On the platform were: Bishop Worthington, Canon Doherty, prineipal, Canon Whitmarsh of South Omaha, Rev. W. C. McCracken of Tower, Minn., and Colonel C. 8. Chase. The elghty pupils of the school, | white, occupled the front of the hall. ! program opened with Kowalskl's Marche Hongroise, an instrumental duet well exe- cuted by Misses B. Smith and L. Diebold. Miss Bowen read a well written essay on ““The Progress of Woman in English Litera- ture,” evincing careful research and woll- balanced consideration. It was followed by Miss Collins, who treated “The Development of the Sonata,” and showed herself to bo | very much of a musical enthusiast. The moods, passions and temperaments of Beethoven, Liszt, Mozart and Haydn were discussed, as well as the effect they had upon those celebrated composers. The t thought that the so of all com- s portrayed the passion and voiced and sentiment of the composer. She followed the essay with a brilliant rendi- tion of the scherzo from Beethoven's Sonai Op. 31 No. 3, which was enthusiastically re- ceived. Miss M. E. Couchman’s essay considered “The Greek System of Education,” with its athletics and military (raining. Miss A. C. Couchman had collated a num- ber of interesting thoughts on “Genius.” She denominated genius as the perfection of the human intellect, and insisted that it was in a measure due to its surroundings. For in- stance, it would have been Impossible for any but an intellectual race to have produced Shakespeare, or for any but an aesthetic race to have given the world Michael Angelo, or for a Watt or an Edison to have sprung from any but a mechanical race. Genjus is cre- ated and invented. It is often confused with talent, which but completes what genius has created. The cssayist touched on the varled channels in which genius is displayed, and of its influence on civilization. Miss McCracken, the valedictorian, pre- sented some ‘‘Aspects of Tennyson.” She appeared at something of a disadvantage, as she was just recovering from a two weeks' illness, but acquitted herself very creditably. She was thoroughly in harmony with her subject. She spoke of the underlying strain in all that author's works, recognizing a purer, better element in the soul of every man, and pointed out that that grand and divine element always prevails in Tennyson's creations. The graduates were generously remem- bered by their friends in the way of bou- quets and floral bunches, and at the conclu- sion of the program the edge of the platform was deeply garnished with flowers, which were carried forward by a number of the smaller girls of the school. DR. DOHERTY'S ADDRESS. Dr. Doherty made a short address, in which he referred to his presence at twenty Brownell Hall commencements, and sald that Colonel Chase was the only one who could boast to greater length in that direction, having been present at twenty-five, He said that this Institution had given the first diplo- mas ever given in the state, and a woman was entitled to the honor. There had been some critic sm because none of the graduates had treated sacred subjects, and in reply to that criticism he wanted to say that the young ladies wrote on subjects with which they were most familiar. Their Ideas and expressions were their own, and inasmuch as thero was some difference of opinfon among the divine doctors themselves on some points of theology, he was quite timid about getting any of the girls vyp there on the platform to bo launched as theologlans to enter into any controversy with the disagreeing doctors. Attention was called to the fact that Omaha was a’commercial city, and while her people devote a great deal of time to the police com- mission and to discussing the voting of bonds for this and that scheme, they never talk about endowing a temple of learning. A commerclal town never thinks enough of these things, and of the importance of bulld- ing model men and women as well as busi- ness palaces. The following prizes were then conferred: The General Hawkins prize for writing, Blanche Colby; Hawkins prize for arith- metie, Gertrude Goebel; Yates prize for arithmetic, senior, Bessie Butler; Butterfield prize for art, Louise Doherty; Chase prize for rhetoric, Louise McPherson; Whitmarsh prize for composition, Bessie McCracken, honorable mention, *Sarah Bowen; prize for language, Eloise Couchman, honorable men- tion, .
