Minneapolis, 13; Milwaukee, [ T 18, INDEED, curlous to learn of the vagarles of for- tune, to which some people owe thelr start on the road to wealth and tame, and, havitg occasion to hunt up information re- garding Bucgerino Ebright, I discov- ered that he first met his father way uwp among the lava beds of Utah. There, amid the sage brush and Inhospitable waste, he began the life of one who, by his own unaided effort, in after years rose to tho proud hefght of the boss of Lincoln's ball team. As yet, however, the people of this great and glorious land have manifested little in- terest In Buck's birthplace, but when he dies there is but little doubt that all the rallroads will run mammoth excursions to the place where they plant him. But Buck took no part in yesterday's affray. He sat in the grand stand nursing & thumb that looked like a 15-cent soup bone. The day before he undertook to stop a hot grounder from Pa's bat with this injured member and the result was that the hot grounder got the best of the argu- ment, inasmuch as his thumb was jammed back into his hand until it looked like the butt of a b-cont clgar. So yesterday Basil Devereaux officiated where Buck’s manly roportions are wont to exhibit themselves. asil did his very best, and tried hard not to allow any good playing to creep in and ar his rotten work. If a rat, by accident, ad gotten hold of a piece of Basil's play- ing and eaten it, it would have killed him on_the spot. Smarting under the spanking Pa gave him Friday, Buck brought out young Mr. Oscar Barnes, a regular psychic phenomenon, yes- terday for the purpose of turning the tables. He might as well have tried to make the Missourl river run backwards, Mr. Barnes is fresh from college, and, after @ fashion, is a very nice sort of a chap. His habits are simple and he wears plain clothes, his shirt and collar being made off of the same piece. That isn't a bit like Buck, who, when ho goes out for a kill- ing, wears a pink shirt and a blue collar, Just like Charlie Branch. Mr. Barnes owes much of his skill in pllchlng to his father, who for nearly thirty ears has done nothing but pitch—hay in he Platte valley. These facts I gleaned rom editorial in a handbill published @own at the stato capital called the State ourhal, The editorial was one of Billy wen Jones' very best. It s graphic and Succinet, but of course lacks tho sensa- }lonnl elements 0 common and so lamentable In_metropolitan newspapers. But that is neither here nor there, fn- asmuch as Mr. Jones s yet to have his first experience on a newspaper. MADE TROUBLE FROM THE FIRST. There was another large and fashionable firowd at the park yesterday, and they were alf tickled to death to see Pa slam the Country boys around the lot just like so many old hoop skirts. The sport did not open up very aus- clously, for the clodhoppers ladled out large goose egg for Pa’'s delectation, then tamo right in themselves and tore off a couple of tallles. Dennis McCarthy was the first one of the bumpkins to dare face Alexander Whitehill. Dennls s tall, lean and awkward, with in- ellectunl knee joints and large, sorrowful eet. He balanced himself on the tip of his lg toe, and when Alex disconnected rela- tionship with the sphere, Dennis hit it a Fhythmic plunk that sounded like the hired man’s socks dropping on the bare floor! Buck Hughes came next. Buck is a plain, long breasted man, with a downcast coun- tenance and low-cut mouth. He is nearly as big as Buck Ebright, but not half as beautiful. He was restless and ecager, and ;l" at once shoved a swift one down toward utch, and Hutch snatched at it, but it coyly eluded his grasp, and Buck was safe, while Mr. McCarthy took third, Catcher Speer, who is built something like & wheelbarrow, then sauntered up to the late, and swinging his tree, viciously lifted me out to Wiilie McVey, and, stunned and helploss, recoiled to the bench. The next man who developed was Martin McQuald, the son of old Jim McQuaid, who used to play marbles with my great grand- father In New York when New York was called New Amsterdam. By the way, a story was circulated some years ago to the effect that Martin once made a base hit gomewhere back in the New England league, but before he could get to first base the center fielder caught the ball. That fsn't true, for statistics show that it was the second baseman who caught it, and this is only a falr sample of how a story about a great man grows and becomes dis- torted at the same time. People who haven't anything better to do in life than to go about telling such improbable stories would do well to ascertain the truth of these reports before giving them circulation. Thus it ls that men who have acquired good names by doing nothing are made the target for the poisoned shafts of contumoly. Well, Martin had just arrived and was a bit nervous, but he swung his club and the pigskin flew like a bird into Langsford’s 1ily white shovels, and he fired the cadaver- ous McCarthy out’ at the pan. Of course there were a few bouquets thrown at the Langy for this bit of bLrilliant work, and, by the way, this pie-faced indi- vidual s playing ball in a way that is oc- casioning a good deal of talk. Like the breath of the man who has been cating onlons, his presence can be detected at a great distance, and why he was allowed to escape from the big league Is «ne of those things no fellow can find out. But to continue my story. Langsford had no sooner made this re- fulgent play than Alex made a throw as wild as a March Jjack rabbit, and Basil rushed home and McQuald loped to third. Then John L. Sullivan jabbed an outshoot n the wind and the relic of the colonial times festered upon the plate. And thus the clodhoppers had two runs to gloat over. WHERE WE WON IT. In the fourth Pa gouged his toe nalls fnto the pan and we were spared the fgnominy of a shut out. First Pa soaked Mr. Barnes for a single, but not until after both Hutch and Fear had been flagge M- Quald let the bounding sphere get through his legs and Pa lumbered on to second, whence he ran clean home on Peddy's im- petuous drive. An empty hiatus here the sixth inning was uncorked, festive Rourkes began to take unwarrant- able liberties with young Mr. Barnes. Up to this time he had pitched masterly ball, and it looked as if we had saved ourselves by an eyebrow. But, according to Billy Owen Jones' edi- torial, Mr. Barnes s a cross between a Scotchman and a native of south Cherry county. From the highland branch of the pily he obtained his wild yearning to soclate with Buck Ebright, and from Cherry county his great speed, his for mush and his clinging nature. cording to Editor Joues, these intervened until when the don’t mix, thelr offspring 1+ apt to quit at _a eritical stage of the game, and young Mr. Barnes' work yesterday bears him out, First Willle Bill Moran hit him a welt that cyrdjed the ealaratus i M}:q{r'\lemon- ade. Then Hutch smshed him nd ho lost contro] of the hoghide entirely, It s sald that Jack Haskell bds such powers ot mentslity Giat ho 15 enabled o distinguish a ball from a strike as readily as Buck Ebright can distinguish a free lunch from a $2 bill, Anyway, Mr. Barnes gave Fear his base on balls. ~ That was generous in the young man, wasn't it? It always pays to do a kind act. I know this to be true, fof a great deal of my own great wealth was acquired by assisting men like Herman Kountze and Henry W. Yates when they were in a tight plate. The bags were now all occupled, but in Pa's little hollow-eyed push down to John L., Willle Bill Moran “bit the dust” at the plate. “Bit the dust” is an original phrase of mine and Is used here for the first time. However, no one was sorry because Bill bit, for didn't Peddy soak young Mr. Barnes for one of the most timely singles you ever saw? Well, I guess yes. Hutch and Fear both score In their half the jays took one and the game was tied. After Speer and McQuaid had been properly laid away, John L. con- nected safely, and Alex, not to be outdone by Mr. Barnes, gave Devereaux and Wood a base each. Piggy then stepped up to clear the bases. Piggy is all right. He still eats ple with his knife, drinks out of the finger bowl and in many other ways manages to endear him- self to the best families in Lincoln. This time, however, the best he could do was a single, but it let Sully home and the score was tied. In the seventh we took two more, and that, too, after Oscar had thrown both Langy and Captain Mac out at first. Then Willie Bill made a single and Hutch lifted her over the barn for four. Seelng how things were going Manager Hickey started a petition to have Oscar taken out of the box. Buck Ebright received it and said he would take favorable action upon it, but he wanted time. His delay was fata). In the ninth the Rourkes jumped upon Oscar for the third time and pounded out another block of two. And that settled it, and everybody went away as happy as if they had just paid a month’s rent in advance. The score: . OMAHA. AB. R. 1B. SH. SB.

M. 0, A, Ball Tossers Show an 01d Num- ber How it is Really Done, —— COOK CHAMPIONS WELL WHITEWASHED Jellen's Dellvery Still Unsolved, While Con- ners Was Batted High and Low All Over North Omaha—Some Other Lively Amateur Games, OU REMEMBER “Gussie” Connor, who used to twirl the sphere for the Young Men's Chris- tlan association base ball team, moons ago, before Ab- bott's hair had formed & porous plaster on the back of his neck, and when the Christians wers con- tented to win a game once in a while without taking them all and spreading on whitewash to boot? Well, Gussie hasn't been playing with the Christians this year. He has been husking pumpkins down at Cook, if you know where that is, and trying to forget that he had once been so foolish as to waste his time trying to get an inshoot over the plate when there were so many brilliant inducements to lure him to life on a farm. But the athletic passion would not down, and sometime last spring he collected a cholce assortment of farm hands and brick yard mechanics and started out to tour the state. He was pretty successful, too, and several sorts of ambitious amateurs went down before Gussie's brawny arm, aided and abetted by the efforts of his husky hired men. But Gussie's ambition_soared higher than these little by-plays. He wanted to bring his aggregation to Omaha to show his one- time colleagues how easy it was to win if one only knew how. Every time he heard how the Christians had whitewashed the Council Bluffs Maroons or wiped up the dia- mond with the Squash Hollow Stars, his anxiety to lower their colors grew fnto a state of ungovernable frenzy, and yielding to his impassioned appeals Captain Abbott re- luctantly consented to allow his pets to be- come martyrs to Gussie’s mounting ambition. That was how it came about that the Christians and the Cook haymakers met at the Young Men’s Christian association park yesterday afternoon. But Gussie didn't know what Captain Abbott had lald up against him, or he would have preferred to rémain in the scclusion of his native sage brush. It was a Waterloo, a Bunker Hill and an Appomattox all rolled into one, with a little bit of San Jacinto and Tippecanoe thrown In for relish. Talk about rubbing it in—those Christians didn’t leave a plece of the Cook aggregation big enough to season a weinerwurst. They just toyed with them for an inning by way of leading them on and then they went to work and jumpel or: them until the remains will be ‘sent back to Cook on a postal card. The feature of the game was Jellen's magnificent work. He held the visitors down to six scattering hits and did not give a single additional base. Only seven of Gus- sie’s crowd reached first base during the en- tire nine innings, the odd onme taking life on a rather poor throw by Rustin, which caused Jefteris to take his foot from the base while the runner went over It. This was the only semblance of an error which could be charged up to the Christians, while their fielding abounded in brilliant ' plays. Lawler made several brilliant running catches, while Rustin's circus catch of Har- rison’s fly in the eighth inning was a marvel. - But hit, how those good young men did jump on to Gussie's slants.” They pounded them for a total of thirty-eight bases, Jellen alone batting out more bases than all of the visitors put together. Not content with shutting out the farmers, he insisted on leading the batting himself, with five run and five hits, with a_total of eleven bas His home run over the left fleld fence was the longest hit that has been made on the grounds this year. Rustin, Robinson and Lawler also fattened their batting averages and Abbott was the only man who did not get at least a couple of hits.

Local Horse Owners Open a Serles of urday Runs with Threo Good Goe: The first of a series of race matinees v held at Union park yesterday afternoon, and a good crowd of lovers of harness rac- ing was present to enjoy a well arranged card with four events on it. Iver since the conciusion of the Blue Ribbon race arranged by Clinton Briges in June, the owners of local horses have been arrang- ing for a sort of a Saturday matinee of racing, at which they could show their horses’ and see some fairly good racing. A. A. Stamy has charge of the program for ‘each week, and during the remainder of the season there will be weekly meetin of this character. The races yesterd were fairly fast, and Winslow Wilkes owned by Thomas Collopy of this city was sent an exhibition mile. He had trav eled to the three-quarters post in a 2:15 gait, when the man sent there to drop a Randkerchief for the benefit of the timers threw the rag down so that it scared the animal, causing him to break badly.

HEN THE OMAHA delegates to the state tennis cham- plonship contest at Hastings returned it was with glow- Ing accounts of the way they were treated and the en- thusiasm that was manifested by the citizens of that city in the event. The four courts of the Hastings club were in excellent condition and everything was done by the management to make a thorough, success of the occasion. The whole city seemed to be imbued with the same spirit. The mayor gave the visitors the freedom of the city and made no objec- tion when he was taken at his word. As to the play every one who was there agrees that it was of a high standard. The daily reports in The Bee's telegraphic columns have shown the closeness of many of the contests, but mere scores can hardly tell the whole tale of a well fought match in which each point is stubbornly struggled for, and the rests are only won after each side has exhausted its skill. Omaha sent down four pairs, had no fewer than six, Ord sent two and Grand Island one. This made a total of thirteen teams competing for the champion- ship and every team was capable of putting up a good game. Hastings’ strongest pair drew a bye and had only three matches to ay, although they reached the final and me very near winning the championship. Johnson and Guilmctte showed such a mas tery of the game, indeed, that If they had carried off the first honors no one would have grudged them the title. Their work against the champions, as they now are, that is Austin and Battin, clearly showed that al- though Omaha may continue to hold first place she is far from being able to lay claim to a monopoly of men of champlonship rank. Johnson especially plays a very strong game, but both of them hit their balls well, send- ing them in low and fast. It would need but little stcady practice, indeed, to give them sufficient accuracy to place them ahcad of the pair that beat them Dy a margin of a single game, and indeed of a single ace, two days ago. Dungan and Wahlquist, who have ranked as one of Hastings' strongest pairs in y. gone by, did not show to any great adv tage. They were pitted against Haverstick and Caldwell fn the first round and only managed to capture four games in the three sets. Three of the four other homa teamns were also unlucky enough to be knocked out in the first round. CHAMPIONS EARNED THEIR TITLE. Austin and Battin, who won the cham- pionship and brought it to Omaha, started out with a love set from Duer and Powers of Hastings, but had to work for the r.st of that match, and in the other three that they played they never had any reason to feel sure of the match until it was finished. In the second round Young and Cookson made an_excellent fight. Cookson was es- pecially powerful. He covered his side of the court in great shape and seldom let a chance go by. He showed confidence at all stages of the game and hit his balls with a precision that deserved success. If Young lad been able to do his share of the work many of those who were there are of the opinfon that the result would have been different. Behind the court is a bank, and, in running back to return a lobbed ball; Young stumbled and hurt his leg. This prevented him from holding up his end, as he should have dons, and it was impossible for cne man to win alone. The fact that when this accident occurred Young and Cookson led by four games to love in the first set indicates the, difference that it made. After this Austin and Battin met the crack Ord pair, Milford and Foght, who also gave them something of a struggle. Milford is probably one of the strongest players in the state outside of the three largest towns, and after his performance at Hastings it is by no means certain that he would not show up to good advantage when pitted against the strongest men of the state. If he comes down to Omaha for the state sin- gles this week, as he is talking of doing, there will be a chanc2 to see how he stands. Caldwell and Haverstick got through two rounds with the loss of only seven games in six sets and were knocked out in the semi- final by Johnson and Guilmette. This la was a very scientific game and there was very little difference between the pairs. It seemed to be a toss-up indeed which would win, The Omaha pair, however, did not hold themselyes together as well as they should have done at the end and lost. It was remarked at the close of the contest that a finer exhibition of tennis as it should be was never witnessed on the Hastings court It is said that If Johnson and Guilmette had carried off the championship honors it would have given a big impetus to the game in the city. SINGLES BEGIN WEDNESDAY. On Wednesday next the other half of the state champlonship tournament opens here in Omaha. It will be a greater success than it the Hastings meeting had fallen through. Several players who were there and got on well will expect to do equally well here and have decided to come, The regrettable ab- sence of the Lincoln contingent from the doubles will no doubt be compensated for this week, and promises, more or less definite, have also been received from quite a number of other towns in the state. Hastings promises at least four entries, probably “Dungan, Wahlquist, Johnson and Oliver. ” Lincoln's’delegation will probably ba Hicks, Shepard, Geisthardt and Jackson. Grand Island will send down Abbott and Nusz, who were at Hastings, and they expect to bring several others along with them. Spafford and Skerret of Kearney may come and Minden, Arapahoe and Geneva are each expected to have a representative here. Mil- ford of Ord has also expressed his intention to come if he can. Whether all these promises will prove 800d or not of course cannot be told until the draw finally closes on Tuesday night next. It has been found necessary to ex- tend the time for the receiving of entries to that day in order to accommodate the large number of outsiders who are anxious to compete. In any case the tournament Is assured of success so far as the list of competitors is concerned, for about ten of Omaha's pick have signified their intention of entering, and above all, Cullingham expects that by the time the all-comers’ competition is ended his hand will have sufficiently recovered to e able him to defend his title. The chal- lenge round will not be played until Satur- day afternoon at any rate, and the wound is now making sufficient progress to justify him In anticipating that by that time he will be able to play. The club is making every preparation for the accommodation of large crowds through- out the tournament, and every one who attends will be provided with a seat. OUTLOOK FOR THE INTERSTATE. For the interstate meet, which Is to begin on the 20th of nmext month, and continue through that week, there aro great promises. The Nebraska players appear to think more of this than of the state event, and no fower than elght towns In lowa alone have responded to the invitation to send repre- sentatives, with an intimation that they will have at least one delegate here when the time rolls around. Other towns that have promised to send represcntatives ar Kansas City, Mo, Kansas City, Kan. Lawrence, Kan., Colorado Springs, Yankton §. D., and Cheyenne. Only about four or five of the best pairs and about eight or nine players in the singles will enter from Omaha, but they will be the strongest men in the city, as it Is intended that the tourna- Hastings ment shall be a falr trial of strength be tween Nebraska and the surrounding states. 1 Over $100 In prizes will be given away for the singles and doubles.
