HASTINGS, Neb., June 11. Editor SPORTING LIFE: We are having some fine weather here now and in consequence base ball 13 booming. Wo are DOW in third place and still climbing. The boys are all doing well, and the, hot weather ia sweating out the sore arm! in good nhnpe.

All the teitns in tho League are strengthen­ ing their weak spots and the result is better games.

Catcher Chiles was found missing Thursday morning when tho team, were at the depot, bound for Grand Island, and, upon inquiry, it was learned that he had jumped his contract and left for St. Joseph, Mo., to play with the ama­ teur team Ihore, and it w:-s a flurpilse to everybody, especially the mansgenient. who thought be was a perfect gentleman and put all confidence iu him. He hns overdrawn his account with the club over forty dollars, whicb the club had advanced him tor board, clothes and a railroad ticket to Kansas Cuy and re- tnrn, where he was called Io see his sick mother. The management has suspended him, and also fined him fifty dollars for playing with the St. Joe team last Sunday, on his return from Kansas City, without per- miseiou, and failiug to arrive home in time to play in ths game with Kearnev here Monday.

Following Is tho standing of the clubs to date, not official:

It is a very close tace, and with a little cbange in the tall-enders will be a nne race for the pennant.

Our second home series commenced Monday, Juno 6, with Kearney, and lh«y got even with us by shut­ ting us out by tue same gcore as we treated tliem when they were here before. We were minus catcher Chiles. We b.'at them the tecond game by 2 to 9.

The management of the club have signed Grant Miller to play short, a local player, who is a comer; Yearlng, of Mcmpbii, TeoD., Io play third base. We have accepted turms of Scberbocker, tatcher of the Lawrence, Karj., team, who has come highly recom­ mended by Captain Johnson, and is expected daily to take Chiles' place.

San Francisco Surfeited With BaseBall The League on a Paying

Basis O'Brieu Leaves the Oak- laud Team and Returns

General Mention.SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 9. Editor SPORTIXQ

LIKB: The proposition to take the California League clubs to Pacific Northwest League towns next month is nothing lesa than a fore­ runner of another attempt to effect a consolida­ tion of the two coast organizations. The mag­ nates at this end are awaiting a reply to their communication whioh was sent North last week, and believe that the call for a special meeting of the Pacific Northwest director! last night was one result of the broaching of the scheme. There is some talk at this end of lengthening the stay of the California teams in the North to two weeks ia order that n greater variety of games thin that tet forth in the original proposition might be arranged. Of course there is some opposition to the scheme, the chief argument against the plan being that the breaking up of the schedule it liable to hare a detrimental effect on the championship race In this State. The argument is a weak one. A rest of one or two weeks would prove highly beneficial to base ball in San Francisco, where tho people are not so much interested in the disposition of the pennant as in being furnished with good ball. There ia no denying the fact that the people of this city aro surfeited with base hall. They havo not had a rest for years, the winter months being filled in with Eastern teams, which, in many instances, regarded thuir trip to the coast as a holiday excursion and played ball accordingly. The result of this in­ creasing presentation of the national pastime baa beea the development uf a feelinsc of lassi­ tude that tired feeling among ball patrons and hundreds of tbetn go to the grounds only when other sources of amusement are closed to them.

ONE OKEAT LEAGUE.Tha contemplated tour of tbe four teams to

the North has more than one object In view. It is to determine how California teams would draw up there, and to convince the skeptical managers that one great Pacific Coast League is not only feasible, but would prove remunera­ tive. Tha trip is alfo intended to givo Messrs. Finn and Robinson some idea of the north­ western territory. President Mono and Man­ agers Harris and Vanclerbeck have been in that section during the ball season, and are ac­ quainted with tbe amount and.extent of the pa­ tronage accorded to the clubs. It ia also pro­ posed to give the northwestern cranks an op­ portunity to judge of the strength of tbe Cali­ fornia teams, and to awaken some enthusiasm rezarding consolidation. It ii tn be hoped [hut the proposed trip will go through successfully, as it would undoubtedly redound to the benefit of the game on the Pacific slope.

ON A PAYING BASIS.In conversation with Manigcr Harris yester­

day I learned tb.it tho te.-v.i.s here, despite the falling off in attenlnr, e. havo Lem making money. I was informc ! iliat there w:;s a heavy debt banging over t : e Ilaight Street Ground Association when the^'ii.-on open?. 1 , And this has not only been wiped otr, but :i fu.-plus has been laid aside sufficient i" t'dv over the League dur­ ing the dullest mo::t!>< of the fcaeon June and July. This is cc. t.tinly a good showing in the frtce of all that the Lr-aeim baa l«en forced to contend wllh, and i: «h..\v- hr.w firmly ttie (fame id rooted in California. Tl e mainstay of the organization thu year is tho i ow town of Los Angles, which la pro­ ducing :iii> Urprgt amount of shekels, aud San Kran* cisc", w h:eh, in the past, furnished the life blood of exir"te:cc, Is now a second ratfr as a producer. San Jose was self-supporting In 1801, 1-tlt during tlie past t\vo months lifts been runnln£ behind. The schedule iiuceitninly ia alleged t^ be one ruuse for the decline In Interest in tlie Garden City, and Oakland's poor shoving Is regarded as another reason for tho refusal (:( former cranks to rut iu HU apnesrance at the games. The receipts at San Jose have fallen off to such an ex­ tent tbat the Ltaaue managers th's wceu decided to enforce the rule requiring all towns ouUHe of San Francisco to charge Id.lies an adntisjion fee. When matters were running iu wo'.l-greafied financial grooves in Finu'a batliwicK the fair iex was pf rmitted to rs>s in on their good looks, but henceforlh tbe ladies will bo p.a?e.'sed a qunrter of * dollar tuch. S-til Jose has always bean ft great ladies1 town, hundreds of them turning out to see each game, ftnd the outcome of the new lax will be watched with no final! degree of curi­ osity.

THE TAII, END TEAM.Poor Oakland! Poor R .Imuonl Neither the town,

the flub or the manager are in baseball this season. Yesterday the Triscos and Oattlauds Llayed across tho bay, and there was hardly a corporal's guaid out to vitnfss a 1 to 0 game In which the tail-end? were defeated, us usual. Kobineon teems to be in tho soup dee[.«r than over at present. Kven the kcal ball writer, who always hud a feiud word for Ihe Colonel while the other papers were flaying him nlive, has joined tlie ranks ot the tormentors, and la«t Monday turned i>ut a half c.'lunm of comment on the Oakland manager's inethcds, eo canstic that it Would drive the average mm frantic. The Colonel, however, is not an ordinary individual. He bobs up serenely at every turn, and If h? sufftta lie makej njtlgo. There id uo gainsaying that he has RODO to great expense to cet his tcsm together, an-1 it cnnnot be denifd that in in- divi Inal talent the club is equal to any in the League. Sll'l the club cannot win games, and occasionally makes some sorry showing*. The why and wherefore ot this sad condition of affairs lias been gone into very thoroughly dozens of times, but a satisfactory solution of the problem has never beou made. That the man­ ager is largely responsible for Ihe poor showing of his team cann< t be questioned. The playtrs under him do notknow wbethi-r Ihey are assured of anotbft week's or month's engagebunt. One Instance may suffice as an illustration cf the Colonel's vngaiies. After last Sunday's game he informed three reporters that short stop Milt \Vhitehead bad thrown up Ire jot,; that the player wanted to quit after every inn­ ing, and at the clo'e of tho play had demanded Ms re- leuse, saying thut ho did not propose Io remain in the ttaru any linger. WUtahead was in hfi usual posi­ tion yesterday, and an Investigation disclosed the fact that he had never made any of the statement* attri­ buted to him by Manager (\obinson.

QUIT AMD RETURNED.Matters became KO unpleasant for Second Baseman

SHUT OUT TWICE.Tbe Sin Francisco team has been singularly unfor­

tunate at Sin Joie this year, end latt week, iu addi­ tion to losing tbe series, was humiliated by being shut out in two games. The flnul contest last Sunday was a magnificent exhibition. Up to the eighth in­ ning the ecore was 1 to 0 lu favor of the 'Frlscos. lu the tl^bth, luwever, with two out, tbe Dukes scored two runs and won tlie g*mo, much to the disgust ol Harris It w»8 a case of bard luck, Indeed. The Los Angeles aud Baa Jote teams are strtigglinz for Iho It-ad this week at the home of tbe latter club. The flril game was won by Ihe vliltors by a s<ore of 4 to 2. Balez was fn the box for the southern team and pitched a nire came, allowing six acntlered hits, giv­ ing but ono base on balls and glriking out firemen. There is considerable interest In this series, as San Juse and Los Angelea are running an almost neck- aud-neck race for first pi ice, with tho latter club hav­ ing tbe advantage of the gteater number of victor.ei to I's credit.

Tbe Iead« rs have now reached a high degree of ex­ cellence In their fielding, and team work U beginning to be a factor in their winnings fte well as hard hitting For a lot of heavy men they play a fine game afield and during tbe p.ist six weeks the Los Angeles Club'i error co'umus have been very free fr..m tvll-Ule fig­ ures.

COLUMBIA. S. C.,, June 13. EJitor SPORTINO LIFE: I rogrct that I cannot record more vic- .ories for our boys during the past wook, but iere ia the reason.

Monday's game at Raleigh between the Wing- ion and Cnlumbia team?, gave our boys an­ other game. McCann kuockel the ball over tho 'ence and the umpire declared it to be a foul. Winston lays her defeat to that. There were several pretty plays made on both sides, but the features of the game were home runs by "Joe" Daly and Tate the latter the longest hit ever seen on those grounds and two fine catches by Wynn, who played centre for Columbia. One catch was a hard run, high jump, single-haniier ;hat looked liko a safe three-bagger. Score: Winston 5, Columbia 6.

Tuesday's game was lost by had errors, made at most costly stages of the gam'3. The umpir- ng was very poor, giving Winston just cause to dck, aud at one time Columbia had reason for kick- ng, wb^n :be umpire declared Kteft-r safe nt home

when tie was toiicbtd fully throe feet off the plate. Pleasurable interest io the grtuie was of cuaree an mi- possibility with such umpiring. The ffa'nres of the

me were preity catches in the BelJ l>y Bounett andcDaTid, Daly's home ruu and Tutu's ttenl acd ilide

aoina. Tonimj DUIID, evt-rvbody'B friend, made a beautTu) catch of a hot liner fruoi Kaiio's tat. Score, WiuBton 7, Columbia 2.

Wednesday 1!* game waj the first of the rertea of three played at Charlotte, and wai a genuine surprise to nil the frien-li of C'oluoibia. Charlotte put Frank [Q the box with Luck to catch him, while Columbia used her "bran-fired" new piiclier, CrandaU, wiih "old reliable" Joo Dalj io the ca:.cher'« stand. From the beainuinjf to the finish, Charlotte bad t tie beat of it. Craudali waa bbtted hard and did show up as well as wa« exp?cttd. Joe Dalj eom Bpe:nod to lose heart, and made three c< Btly errors. If Joo wou'd ever talk, we wculd know what was what, but to simply judge from actions, aud uiy Intimate know ledge of the boy, I think he went luto the fritme ful!y expecting that Crandall and liin:s-jlf would \\irt the fittme, and when he saw that Craotlall was off, be "Iroke'also. Tbe Cbarlutte ttam played together. They "played ball," all of them, and they worked, pa rued aud won the game. Score. QmrMte 10, Columbia 4.

Thorsday with Quarto find Daly as tl-ebi»tf#ry for Columbia and Frank and Luck for Charlotte, the Columbia boj-s pulled themselves together, played a preiiy f,nn\» and won. In the eighth ioiiing Clurk, right field for Chariot!*, drofiped »u eA*y fly ball and permitted our bojs to score, and the gaiuu was ours, 6 to 5.

NEW YORK NEWS.NO HOPE OF A GOOD SHOWING IN

THE FIRST SEASON.

But the Team Will be Put la Shape For I ho Second Criticism That is

Based on Personal Spile A Catcher and a Second Base-

man Needed.NEW YOEK, June 14. Editor SponrrxaIFIC: These are not hoppy days for the New

York rooters. The team has Bee-sawedround the .500 mark in away to make

matrons weary. Oecasionally the Giant* in-"ulge in a spurt, hut just as expectations nroroused they sillier a relapse ami all handsre ap;ain stricken with sadness. Threat:: toelease the entire team and get a new oneave had no effect, and the conclusion haseen reached that the team as now constitutedannotnuike much, if any, progress, lioyle'anjury served to demonstrate thut Fields andlurphy cannot take care of the pitching,ud that auother good caicher is an absolute

necessity. Again, second base has been aweak spot.

There is no question thr.t if Bassett would )lay his best game it would be good enougli or New York or any other club. It is charged that liassett will not piny with Uncle iwing. It will be remembered that Buck

accused Kassett of leading Kusie astray, and since then a decided frost has marked the re- atious of the captain and the second base- nan. It was observed that while Buck was aid up with an injured foot Bassett played >rilliantly, and as soon as Ewing returned to he game Bassett showed poor work again. Under the circumstances Manager Powers ias decided to shelve Bassett, and Kichardson, vill play the base until the club succeeds in ;etting a good mnn. The New Yorks are not >ase-runners. They were not engaged for hat purpose. They have some reputation as latsmen, but have not up to date done what hey should in the line at stick-work.

UNJUST CRITICISM.An attempt has been made in certain qnar-

ers to saddle J. _W. Spalding and E. B. Tal- cott with the entire blame for the poor show- ngof the team. As most of the continent is he outgrowth of personal feeling and preju­

dice on the part of the critics it will have itlle weight. A^oun? man on tho UtralJ,

after abusing Messrs. Spalding and Taicott in a ibnmelesa manner, announces in a modest way :hat bad they taken his advice in the spring ,bey would have escaped all their present troubles. That is the sole trouble with the Herald critic. Tho directors declined to be laildozed or pulled around by the no-e, and the

result is a torrent of unwarranted abuse. The directors have been abused for not hanging on o Connor and Richardson, when those two play­

er?, owing to a fancied grievance, were deter­ mined to leave the city. They have been nbufod ' not keeping Bucklcy, when he also had a supposed grievance and was determined not to

y hero. The c:itics would have had tbo directors get down on their kneea to those play- era and give them the earth in order to keep them.

Tho directors were taunted with par.«iraoni- ousness because they did not go out and buy a lot of star players, when the critics themselves cuuld not point to a single good man who could ae secured for love or money. The only man :hey could see was Alike Kelly, and his record was eo strongly against hint it was decided not to innks the experiment. Leaving Kelly in Bos- :on forced him to play ball to the best of his ability or accept the alternative of tho bench. He choose the former, nnd while he is to be con­ gratulated on bis good work it does not follow that the New York directors were not perfectly right in declining to take chances on Kelly, in view of his odorous record for the six years pre­ vious. There were also other reasons, nnd cood ones, why Kelly was not wanted here. Of course it is a painful thing for New York to tiave a losing team. If I remember aright New York did not win much of anything trom 1883 to 188S, and then took the pennant two years in succession. The city can probably stand a slight reverse, and there is every reason to believe that she will be in much better shape) for the second half. Meanwhile the critics with personal spite ss their animus ma; bo expected ;o snap and sn.trl.

WHAT PLAYERS FOB NEW YORK?That Leaguo meeting was a surprise party,

and the ignorance of a majority of the delegate! * to its object was also surprising. Now that t is ended New Yorkers are wondering what ilayers will be distributed by Nick Young in his direction. It appears that Boston will let

an outfielder and a catcher go, and New York could stand both. What is most needed hero is a second baseman, and thei^ appears to be no way of getting one except to make a trade. Strickor and Dowd seem to bo the only ones negotiable, and it looks as though a trade of «omo sort would have to be maje. Pat Powers slid out of town to night, and he will hav« something when be pulls in his grappling hooks.

JIIXOR MENTION.Director Taicott was a guest at the fine coun­

ty place of Alfred de Cordova nt North branch, N. J., last Saturday. The Clcvelands were acre, and as Mr. Taicott desired to keep posted on the game his host suggested that his carrier pigeons" bo utilized. Some of the birds wer« therefore taken to the Polo Grounds and liber­ ated at intervals during the game, carrying sad news to Taleott forty-live miles away. Tho New Yorks were all but shut out. Buck Ewing's »reat home-run hit preventing that, and it il generally understood thut Taicott revenged him* self by feasting on carrier pigeon potpie.

Morgan Murphy's catching was the admira­ tion of New York cranks.

It might not be a bid idea for Brother Don- nolly, of Brooklyn, in the intervals of roasting people, per instructions, to keep his eyo on tha batting averages and observe bow the Brook­ lyn batsmen drop below Buck Ewing.

On June 13 the magnates decided on teams of thirteen players, which shows that the officials are not superttitious. C. F. MATUISOX.

SPRINGFIELD, O., June 13. It is believer! from the interest already taken in the Ohio State Amateur Base Ball League that it is a sure go. Meetings will be held at once in tho cities which will raise clubs. Committees are already out in this city soliciting contri­ butions for fitting up tbo grounds, etc. Tha Turf Exchange Club, ot this city, at its last meet­ ing elected P. T. Graham and Win. Wolf as a board of director?, and they are actively en­ gaged in getting ready to form the club in thifl city. Grounds have been secured here near Landedowno Park, on the line of the electric- railroad. An endeavor will be made to leaeo the grounds for three years.

Manager Chapman savs Pfeffer will play ball all right under Tom Brown, and that the appointment of the latter as captain is a good thing for the Louisville team.
