Base ball, like any other business, to be euccess ful, must be in esmpetent and honest hands; the pecple will not be bullied or bulldozed into patronizing this or that shop or store, neither cau they be blackguarded into at tending a ball game. This talk about patriot- fsm in connection with base ball Is a w subterfuge to build up a business that threat ens to decline for good and abundant cause Omaha wants base ball and will have base Dall, despite the success or nonsuccess of the present outfit, and under favorable conditions | will support the game as well as any city in the country There is a*ill another thing, less injurious ot course, but still which tells hard on the patronage ut the games at present, and that Is that a man cannot go cut to the old fair grounds and witn:ss a game of ball called at 3:45 and got hagk home for a seasonable din ner. Of coures 3:45 is ncne to late to call a game in midsummer under auspicious condi- tions in the line of speady games and speedy transportation. Tho street rallway company has beon generous and accommodating in the furnishing of specials, and yot It is an incon- venience for most patrons of the zame to make the trip, being compelled to walk sev- eral blocks or take a train at a given time. But this drawback Is nothing compared to the way Western assoclation umpires and Western association managors and captains conduct their games. There has not been more than one game played in Omaha this season in less time than two hours, and the majority of the contests at the fair grounds thus far has Dbeen of (wo licurs and a half duration, and the spectaters of the same have had the felicity of gelting back to the city an hour or so after the general dinner hour. Business men | who endeavor to snatch an hour or two for recreaticn every othér day or so, soon get tired of this sort of thing, and turn their attention to nething else besides base ball for divertisement. The laggard scenes with which many of the games here are replete are harrowing indeed and it would require a Job to make a regular attendant, Umplres and players are equally to blame. The um- pires, outside of calling “ball' or “strike,” with the single exception of Jack Haskell ©Of this associztion, thus far have been no bet ter than o many wooden Tndians. They al- low rebellious players to stop a game and with them as often as they ple: glve each man from one to five minutes to get ready to take his position at the bat and as much time as they want to get to and from the fisld. Not a single Omaha player this season has been seen to make a run for his position In taking the feld at the commencement of game or inning. With proper management from three-quarters to an half-hour could be saved in every game played. Then people would be better satisfled and more of them would turn out. the Omaha team is playing nice ball, notwithstanding they have been severely handicapped by accident and sickness. They are a good third in the race and with a lit- tle bit of Juck during the next couple of weeks should be crowding Peoria for the lead. The team is composed of a lot of gentlemen and hard working, conscientious players and for their sake, If for no other on earth, it would be a happy sight to see 800 or 1,000 people on the grounds daily and ten times that number on Sunday. Tom McVittie is all right. He is affable and courteous at all times, is entitled to be at the head of the game here and the fans will lend every assistance in keeping him there, With a compotent and popular manager and Me- Vittle in exclusive charge of the club base ball would now be booming in Omah; It will be state fair day at the ball grounds next Thursday, that is 10 per cent of the gross proceeds will be turned over to the state fair fund and this should be sufficient to draw out a great crowd. The wholesale and retail dealers throughout the city will b supplied with tickets and urged to dispose of the same and thercby grass two birds with a single stone—push the state fair along and contribute to the welfare of the glorlous national game. The blg grand stand at the tair grounds should for the nonce be crowded, for the cause is a most laudable one. The Lincolns, the biggest card of all the teams, in this city, will be arrayed against Hutch's men and a royal battle, as always eventuates when these old foemen meet, will be forthcoming. And next Saturday will be another special day in the game and another throng should swarm to- the park. This will be the Workingman's day and every laborer in the city, or as many of them as see proper to attend, will be admitted to all parts of the grounds, Including the grand stand, for the single admission of 25 cents. All the labor unions of the city will be supplied with tick- ets and members ean secure the same before starting for the grounds. In Syracuse, N. Y., the other day Workingma day drew out a crowd of 8,000 people. It would be a grand thing If Omaha could do a third as well. Palaver with Hall Piavers. Scott Stratton has been released by Chi- eago. Billy Merritt is doing good work for Pitts- burg. The Rockford Register-Gazette pertinently remarks that Rowe ought to transfer his club to the California league. That's far enough away, lsn't it? Fred Ely, shortstop of (he St. Louls Browns, will retire from the diamond to take charge of & hardwaro factory at Girard, Pa., of which is part owner. rias carry a broken bat for the use an who Is instructed to sacrifice, y toxs out a sound cne should fie get two strikes on him, Prestdent Robison of Cleveland has spoken | for $100 worth cf cholee scats for the first | night’s performance of Hoyt's new play, in which Anson is to appear Pitcher McGreevy will unite his fortunes with those of the belle of Quiney one week from Monday next. You can expect a good many home runs from Mac after that.. Umpire Haskell was called home la on aceount of the serious lilness of his father. Haskell pere, however, Is on the mend and King Jack mas taken up the indicator again It ia a pleasure to sce the Peorias take the field. There is no loafing in that crowd g0 out on the run, and it fs constant bu like hustle with them until the last man is out. Reports from the various cities show that Lincoln led the Fourth of July attendance. Tho receipts were: Lincoln, $468.75 s Moines, $447.50; Omaha, $400.40; St. Joseph, $357.50. Tom MeVittie has the best wishes of all the ball cranks, and if the Omaha club re- mains here it is the general desire to soe it in his hands. McVittie can get all the as- sistanco lic needs at any time. Tho Quincys when hers a week ago got away First Baseman Inks' magic bat and he f has been mourning cver since. Still it doesn’t seem to have affectel the big fellow's hitting much It will be observed that Colonel Thomas of the Peorias isn't losing many games as he goes along. He is making monkeys out of the rest of the pitching phenoms in the Western association, Al Buckenberger, ex-manager of the St. Louis team, i» accused ot having “knocked" the team whenever opportunity presented it- elf. Frank Bonner, late of the Browns, makes this statement, ittsburg would like to harpoon Pitcher Thomas. The Pirates offered Peoria $1,000 in cash for him last week, but Peoria said nay. The Distillers put the figures at $2,000, and the deal Is at a standstill, Invitations for the marriage of Pitcher J. E. McGrevey and Miss Julia Unverzagt have been issued. The wedding will take place at tha home of the bride, 502 York street, July 20.—Quincy Herald. According to the Rockford Gazette the Dos Moines fans have been roasting Traflley during the last series on the home grounds, and no matter how meritorious his work, was greeted with hoots and jeers. The Rockford Register-Gazette thus pleas- antly jollys Hans Hansen: ‘‘Hansen, the sa- cred Scandinavian, uses a great head in pitehing. The head is his own, too, and the ex-city leaguer is making a great record for himself."" They say, and I guess they are correct, that Figgemeir hasn’t given a base on balls in the last five games In which he pitchad. He didn’t accompany the Muffleys over hero last week, but was left at home along with Dutehy Holmes to rest up. As things look now young Miller of Cin- cinnati will outplay Jimmy Bannon in all repec July 1 Miller had made one more run, had a batting percentage of .359 to .366, 2 flelding percentage of .948 to .977 and bad stolen t ty-two bases to twelve.—Boston Herald. Joe Visner of Reckford is one of the most reliable batters in this league, says the Des Moines Record. One good thing about him is that his attempts are not made spasmod. ically, but every day sees him plugging away and finishing with a mark of some Kind in the base ‘it column. The Omaha club stands about as much chance of being transferred to Denver as it does to New South Wales. That is only another of Rowe's Intimidating schemes. It might thrive a few weeks at Sloux City, but oft in Colorado would mean a general col- lapse of the association. The national game, says Ren Mulford, is sponsible for the free and easy coinage of 1 good many words that were unknown when Noah Webster did his great juggling act with language. Sphereomania is a new one. It is the mame given to those who are Micted with the popular and oftimes pleas- ble malady—base ball enthusiasm, The Omaha team plays in St. Joe today and tomorrow and returns here for games with Lincoln Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and St. Joe Friday, Saturday and day. They then leave on their s:cond stern trip, playing at Des Moines Juls and 24, at Rockford 26, 27 and 28, Peoria 29, 30 and 31, and at Quincy August 2, 3 and 4. Somebody has been trying to name the all players who are entitled to a front seat at the ballet, and so far they are all confined to old Western association players. Billy Moran, Jack Newell, Parson Nicholson are billed as baldheads and no one weuld take Billy Trafley for a brother of the Sutherland sisters. Bill hasn’t got enough front hair to wipe a pen on. Had they arrested the boys Sunday it would have taken all the available funds in Lancaster county to prove that our boys were playing ball, says the Lincoln Courler. It would have been Impossible. And as for Buck, he did a very foolish thing when he ran up the track such well known shots as F. S. Parmelee, J C. Real, George W. Loomis, Fred Blake, M C. Peters, Fred Montmorency, Jim Smead and Tel Ackerman, with two more good men to be selected. The prairie chicken crop, notwithstanding former adverse reports, will be quite abund- ant in certain parts of the state after all. The young birds are already in a tolerable gtate of maturity and the usual ante-season slaughter will doubtless shortly begin. O'NEILL, Neb., July 9.—To the Sporting Bditor of The Bee: Excuse my writing to you on my slight acquaintance, but I can't help it, as T know you are interested in all sporting matters. Chicken and plover are very plentiful around Holt county; so are quail in the northern part, and if the game laws are enforced there will be, from the | present prospects, plenty of good &hooting up here. But market hunters will be out in four to six weeks, killing young chicken for | tho eastern market. Can't some one put a stop to this in some way, or is it impcasible for the gun clubs and men interested to stop it?—Edward 8. Furay, M. D. Colonel Frank Green and Major Erd Rand are camping up in the Rockies. They are after bear and will get bear, if they have to buy it. One of Nebraska's Vromising Stabes. Of the many fine trotting bred horses of Nebraska none are more worthy of mention than a stable owned by Isaac Litson ot Elgin, a small town beautitully located on the Scribner branch of the Fremont, Elk- horn & Missourl Valley railroad. Mr. Lit- son has chosen well, having several good | ones from the Sherwood farm at St. Paul, Minn., by such great sires as Woodford Wilkes, son of George Wilkes, and Lockhart, son of Nutwood. The premier of the stud is Milaca, b. s., foaled in '90 by Woodford Wilkes, dam Plurina, by Pluto, son of Wedgewood, second dam by Swigert, third dam by Blue Bull; Milaca P'is a true type of the Wilkes family, possessing all thir race horse characteristics. Another is Medcalf, b. s., foaled in 90, by Lockhart, 2:13, by Nutwood, 18%, dam’ by Alexand 1, second dam by Herod, one of the stout-hearted Morgans. Medcalf is a boautiful horss and very fast, as well as stylish Paraffine, br. h., by Paramount, son of Swigert, dam Mandell, by Milbourne King, son of Mambrino King, “the prettiest horse in the world,” the of lots of extrem speed and fine finish; second dam Belle, by Nomad, son of Almont 33; third dam Lod: by Delmonico 110, sire of Larby, 2:16%, one of the greatest race horses that has faced a starter yet. The above Is a great horse, 161 hands, ‘and perfect proportions, with the ease and motion to race well. Honorable, blk. h., foaled in '90, by Ne- braska’s most popular sire. Shadeland On- ward, dam Maud O, by Gladiator, son o Lakeland Abdalla 35. Honorable possesses all the qualities of the Shadeland Onwards. Mildred, b. m., (5) by Lockhart, dam by Wocdford Wilkes, second dam by Alden Goldsmith, third dam by Swigert 650. Leganda, b. m., (6) by Woodford Wilkes, first dam 'by Raymont, second dam Mam- brino Whip, son of Mambrino Patchen. The above lot are individually without fault, and the breeding suggests great qual- ities. None have been broken down by colt racing, but are mature, stout horses, and with a bit of proper preparation will be fit for fast classes. The stable will not be raced this year, but will be out next, and if the right one gets hold of it the results ought to ba satisfactor Within the Magie Court, This season Omaba tennis players have had and will yet have a good many opportunities to show what they are made of, both in locai 1id outside tournaments. In outside tourna- ments they started out well, for at Lincoln, at the state singles championship, two Omaha men werz in the finals. At the Western championship tournament, held at Chicago during the last woek, C. . Cullingham and D. Roy Austin represented the Omaha club, and showed up very fuvcra- bly with the crack players of the west. They were greatly handicapped by the change from a clay to a grass court, and if*C c ham had not been compeiled o play thres hard matches after traveling all night, ana Austin had not met with the accilent (o his foot, one of them would have probably landed in the finals On_the 22d of this month, Ausiin ard C. H. Young will go to Lake Minneicuka to play in both doubles and singl’s at the Northwestern champlonship toursament. Commencing on Tuesday, August 6, the state doubles will be played at Grand Island, and it is expected that Omaha will send down three or four teams, and if possible kesp the championship in the club for an- other year. The Kansas Clty tournament, for the champlonship of Towa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri _will commence September 10, and the Omaha Lawn Tennis club will be weli vepresented by four of its best players. But by far the most important tournament In the eyes of the members of the Omaha awn Tennis club will be the Interstate Open tournament that commences in this city on August 20. At a meeting of the club held last week it was decided to give about $300 worth of prizes, the principal one being a challenge cup costing $150, for first prize in singles, to be won two years in succession before becoming the actual prop- erty of the holder. In order to do this the members collectively have guaranteed to sell 300 season tickets to the tournament at (1) What is the fastest time made in a 100- yard foot race, and by wham?

All Paris is laughing now at an exhibition of trained dogs in the Champs Elysees such as perhaps has never been seen anywhe since the first dog stepped from Noah's ark The feats which they perform are really ex- traordinary. The scene with which the show opens is described ‘in the French papers as follow: A little street is shown on the stage. The night is dark and the lamps are all lighted. A firebug, of course.a canine firebug, sneaks along the wall,.approaches one of the houses, and sets it afire by throwing a match in side. In a moment or two the house is in flames. The audience hears the cries of alarm, while in the distance the horns of the firemen can also be heard. The firemen, dogs, of course, In their regular uniforms, arrive with their engines and life-saving ap- peratus. They attack the fire with energy handling the hose like veterans, but it is already tco late. Tho roof of the house falls in, and at the tp story a mother in her night dress appear, holdng a chfid in her arms. One brave fireman, a sort of white mongrel with a good deal of the bulldog in him, approaches the ladder, which the others place against the wall. He climbs up the ladder rapidly, grabs his precious burden and brings it down to the street in safety But his courage is fatal to him. Wounded in his perilous enterprise, he falls down and dies almost immediately afterward. His comrades stretch him out on a bier and send for the ambulanca, which arrives on the spot. Just then his widow comes, dressed from head to foot in mourning. She fling: herself upon the body of the dead husband, and goes through all the motions of the most violent despair. Three times the “firemen’ drag her away, but she returns again with gestures of terrible grief. At last the body is put into the ambulance, and the proces- on_moves away All this is done, each dog performing his part without any visible command, and the Parisians are perfectly astounded at the intelligence displayed by these wonderful dogs. Some dogs also perform phenomenally acrobatic feats; others mimic the danseuses, and one of them goes through the skirt dance, or serpentine dance, without being any more troubled with his robes than the celebrated Lole Fuller herself. A well-known Parisian newspaper man, M. Guy-Tomel, has just interviewed Prof. Richard, the owner of the dogs, in regard to his method of training. “The education of intelligent dogs,” he said, “is an easicr thing than people gener- ally suppose it to be. It requires great p: tience and absolute kindness. Kindness is th key of success. If an animai is beaten or hurts himself in going through his exer- cises he gets a horror of them, and it is tm- possible, at least for a long time, to coax him up to the mark again. One of the most hrigiant acrobats hurt his nose last year in one of his jumps. It was Impossible to get him to reccmmence the next day, and, what is stranger still, he refused to perform three other feats that he knew perfectly well and which were not attended with danger. It is only quite reczntly that he has gone to work again. ““The great error of amateurs in dog train- ing lies In the notion that every dog can be made a learned dog. Now, as a matter of fact, there is not more than 1 per cent of the whole dog population that is suscep- tible of thorough training. This is a pretty good proportion, after all; probably more than the human race can boast of. “But_you ask me how we are to distin- description of the trip is from the graphic pen of one of the Omaha players: It was a lusty, vigorous lot of fellows who bade goodby to friends as the afternoon Bur- lington train pulled out for the mountains some ten days ago. For the benefit of the natives along the road the car occupied by the team was labeled in huge letters, “The University Club of Omaha to Butte, Mont." The rich green cornfields and the heavy oats fields of eastern Nebrazka were gratify- ing to all. After a refreshing sleep the bar- | ren, weird, inferno regions of the Black Hills were unfolded before us. Just after supper we passed Custer's battlefield Custer's battlefield is the Balaklava of In- dian warfare. Here 260 brave men rode into the jaws of death, None escapad to tell the tale. Friends were near, but death came all too sudden. The battle has been the sub- ject of numerous paintings and the awe- inspiring theme at many a camp fire. When | we passad the battlefield there were 4,000 or 5,000 Indians camped in an immense hollow quare adjoining the field. They were pre- paring to celebrate the Fourth of July, How strange that at this place, where tha Indians had been most cruelly successful, they should now be celebrating the natal day of the na- on The next morning found us at Bozeman, | Mont., the grain market of the Gallatin valley. Five elevators and two flour mills show plainly the productiveness of irrigal land. "Oats ‘are #aid to yleld from 100 to 12! bushels per acre; wheat, from G0 to 60 bush- els. From eman to Butte the passed over deep gorges and undar hanging cliffs. Snowcapped peaks w ways in sight Flowers in great variety sprung from every bit of soil. At last the train ran along the side of & mountain and we looked down hundreds of feet through an ocean of blue smoke into the valley ot Silver Bow creek. In half an hour we haa descended to Butte, and were comfortably ledged in the Butte hotel. The city of Butte is one of the most in- teresting and unique cities to be found anywhere, It lies on a hill above Silver Bow creck, and is surrounded by snow- capped peaks. Smoking chimneys appear in all directions. The mines crown the hill and are surrounded by great heaps of gran- ite that seem in the distance to be gigan- tic fortifications. It is the metropolitan mining town of the United States. While most mining towns have less than 10,000 inhabitants, Butte is proud of its 35,000 people. Many mining towns will be deserten in ten years, but Butte has ore enough in sight to keep its people busy for the next twenty years. Whatever the Irish procliv- ities of the town may be, there is no need for signs “Keep off the sod.”” The ground is bare, absolutely bare, The smoke from the mines and smelters destroy all vegeta- tion that is not sheltered. It is not to be thought, however, that the people of Butte lack the fruits of the earth because agricul- ture does not flourish in their viclnity. Its markets are numerous and large. There one finds cherries from Oregon, fresh fig and oranges from California, watermelons from Georgia, cucumbers from Florida, and lemons from Sieily, Three or four million dollars worth of ore is taken from the mines every month. Or- dinary miners get $3.50 per day. Money is abundant and is lavishly expended. It re- quires a quarter ‘to buy a drink, a shave or shine. The Silver Bow club and the pri- ate residences at which the foot ball team was entertained are furnished in a style be- fitting a club house on Fifth avenue or a Vanderbilt's residence. On the morning of the Fourth of July there was a parade and a speech but th great event of the day was the foot ball game. On the 1st of July all the gambling houses had been closed, but betting and gam- bling are a necessary amusement in a .mining town; so much so that a man will on retir- ing bet with himself as to whether when he wakes he will find himself lying on his righ or his left side. The foot ball game afforded n excellent opportunity for a bet. Last Thanksgiving the Omaha team defeated tf Butte team by a large score, but the Butte team since then had been playing foot ball steadily. Then they had a rush line in which the men were on an average at least twenty pounds heavier per man than the rush line of the Omaha team, Local pride was strong. Every Butte sport felt bound to put up his money on the Butte team. The result was that all the Omaha money was promptly covered and on the morning of the Fourth the Butte Miner announced that Omaha dough was as scarce as hen's teeth. At noon a_refreshing shower laid the dust and cooled the air. In order to take the crowd to the grounds, all the vehicles in the city, fast and slow from a bicycle to an ore wagon, were pressed into service. At 2 o'clock the grounds were filled to overflowing. All the belles of the city were there, arrayed in crimson and cream, or white and green, according to their complexion. The Butte team felt that they must win or be forever disgraced. And it came to pass that they shut Mr. Thomas and his Omahogs out, and their lives were spared The score was 4 10 0.
