THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY AUGUST 31 1903 , OMAHA BATS OUT A VICTORY | Make Four Ruos in Seoond and Seven in the Beventh Off Villeman. TEAM IN BADLY CRIPPLED CONDITION Playing at Third, Short, Thoma Carter at Behind the Bat Pitcher Schatstall the Middle Garden, COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 0. | dBpecial Telegram.)—In a game full of sen- | sational features Pa Rourke's ‘“‘meal tokets” took the second game of the final serfes of the season in a genulne slugging mateh, in which the Rourkites came out on tp. The Millionaires committed many sacrileges against the error column which, | in & way, were accountable for their de. | feat by the pork packers. The visitors | batted Villeman out of the box in the sov- enth Inning, after having taken from him twelve hits. McNeely was substituted and allowed but two hits after his advent. On he other hand, Companlion, the star south- paw of the Omahas, proved a veritable enigma to Bill Everitt's bunch of moneyed | men. In the seventh inning, to the great disgust of Captain Bill, the Kidnapers romped around the bases and played tag with the Millionaires until the diversion | céased to be a pastime, and when the three outs were finally made, the score boy placed figure seven on the score board. Among the features was a double play by Villeman, Doran and Everitt in the third, which refired the side with three men on bases, and the stopping by Carter of Me- Neely's hot grounder, which assisted in retiring the locals with the bases full. Me- Carthy's work with the indicator was worse than Saturday, and he came in for considerabla roasting from the spectators. Attendance, 1,216 Score OMAHA. AB. ° 2 wlcoonwoocoon’ Miller, 1f...

CHICAGO, Aug: 80.—Chicago and Detroit each took one game in a double header played under threatening skies before a small crowd at the South Side grounds this afternoon. A bad error by Green in the seventh, allowing two runs, gave De- troit the first game. He made good in the second game, however, by bringing in three runs with two doubles and a single in four times at bat. All four pitchers were in form, particularly Mullen, who administered ten strike-outs during the opening game. Rain stopped the last con- test at the end of the first half of the seventh inning.

In July, 1%01, there were reported 7,004,685 net tons of freight, against 7582848 net tons in 192, and 7,876,410 net tons in 1%3. For the first seven months of the current year, 26,928,513 tons of coastwise traffic were re ported, compdred with 25,7188% tons last year, and 18801257 tons In the preceding year in which navigation opened unusually late. The amount of registered tonnage arriving on the Great Lakes in coastwise trade for the season 4o July. 31, 102, was 5,000,876 net tons, ahdl' 35,870,688 net tons in 1903, Registered tonnage by the way of Sault Ste Marfe canal in 192, to the same date, totalled 15,008,729 tons, compared with 18,028,508 tons In 1%03. This decrease is partly explained by the tendency in frelght-carrying capacity of through steamers to increase at a more rapld rate than their registered tonnage. Grain receipts at the North Atlantic sea- board to July 31 last year were 111,536,289 bushels compared with 143,439,340 bushels this year. Receipts at New York for seven months ending July, were 56,626,630 bushels in 1902, and 71,416,460 bushels In 1%3; at Boston, 15,617,322 bushels in 1%2, compared with 18,682,987 bushels In 19%3; at Philadelphia, 19,193,804 bushels in 1%02, in contrast with 22,951,972 bushels in 1%03; at Baltimore, 2),- 08,633 bushels in 1902 and 30,357,912 bushels in 1%08.

The total ship- ments during June from these five points were 2,147,586 tons, and for six months ending June, 14,74197 tons. Receipts at Boston for seven months ending July, 1902, were 2,400,087 tons, compared with 3,585,385 tons for the same period in 1903, Recelpts of cotton at United States ports to July 31, belng eleven monghs of the cotton-crop year, were 7,649,438 bales in 1901, compared with 7542234 bales last year, and 7,697, bales this year, of which 4,990,018 bales were received at gulf ports, 983 bales at Atlantic ports. The exhausted condition of the supply in first hands is indicated by the receipt of only 28,283 bales at United Btates ports in July, compared with 57,221 bales in 192, and 173,- 237 bales in 1901. price to & scarcity level has, among other things, caused the shipping to New Or- leans of 2,400 bales of cotton during July trom New York, 7.4 bales from Boston and 2797 bales of American cotton from Bremen, Germany. The New Orleans rice report for the year ending July 31, 1%, gives 1,798,331 sacks of rough rice as comprising the year's | supply, and 2,676,250 pockets of clean rice, compared with 1,607,682 pockets in 1%01 and 1,164,612 pockets in 1900. Miscellaneous Trade Statisties. Among special movements characteristio of certain trade centers may be mentioned shipments of manufactured tobacco at Loulsville which, for five months in 1902, amounted to 13612012 pounds, compared with 52,086,253 pounds In the corresponding period of 1903, Zine and spelter shipments at Bt.

Burnham of the Newark (N. J.) club, Joseph Applegate of the Toronto club, George M. Kunzech of the Syracuse club and J. H. Farrell of Au- burn, the secretary of the assoclation, The purpose of the meeting was to dis- cuss and frame an answer to the big leagues regarding the position the small {leagues will take regarding the national | agreement, which the national assoclation has been invited to, sign. The bone of contention Is & membership on the na- tional board. That board now consists of President Pulliam of the National league, President Johnson of the American league and August Hermann, the owner of the Cincinnati National league club. The minor leagues claim that they are boné and sinew of base ball, have a larger following all over the country than the two major leagues, and therefore should be repre- sented on the national board. | The old articles of agreement that do not suit the minor leagues are the draft- ing law and the method of paying for players drafted. Under the new agreement the major leagues have from August 15 until October 15 to select their players. Under the old agreement they had but one month. Under the new agreement the players are to be paid for in three equal installments, while under the old agreement the full purchase price was paid down. After the meeting Secretary Farrell gave out the following statement: The meeting unanimously decided that it could not s@b- scribe to the agreement presented at Buffalo, and the national association come mittee was asked to present the Buffalo agreement in amended form to the Buffalo committee. | Adhere to Lucas Resolution. “A resolution was adopted that it was the sense of the members present that we adhere to the terms of the Lucas resolu- tion unanimously adopfed at the annual meeting of the assoclation, held last Oc- tober."” Mr | Lucas' resolution of a joint invitation being extended to the national association to confer with the board of directors of the National and the Ameritan leagues in the interest of a tripartite agreement the national board of the National association should preserve to the National association its own form of government and its organization supreme and intact, and it was also resolved that the instructions were mandatory and com- pulsory What amended form of agreement the National association would present to the Buffalo committee would be Mr. Far- rell refused to say It is not thought that Ban Johnson, president of the American provided that in| the ROUND TRIP RATES FROM OMAHA— INDIA Logansport .
