Coming Chamnions.

Manager Frank Selee and the Omaha team
got in from ST. Joe yesterday after the
most successful trip of the season, the boys
having won six straight games, three at
Denver and three at st. Joe.
Manager Selee says the team never was in
finer shape, and that they are putting up a
really phenomenal game of ball. There IS
not a sore or stiff man in the team, and they
look like gang of thoroughbred race horses
Clarke and Nichols are In exceptionally
good trim, and both are pitching better than
ever. Clarke did much the greater portion
OF the work on the late trip, which has, as
consequence, left Nichols in an extraord-
narily good condition. He pitched Sunday
at St. Joe, and the boys all concur in
the verdict that they never beheld
greater speed or better curves. There
is no denying 1t, in Clarke and
Nichols Omaha has team of twirlers as
strong as any pair in the country, and they
are worth every penny of $4,000 to the club.
Last night the team left for Sioux City for
series OF games, returning here next Fri
day for four games with the Denvers, one on
Friday and Saturday and two on Sunday.
The latter two will be played in the after
noon, but one admission being charged to
the grounds.
For the opening game on Friday next, the
management intend TO make little extra
ucnuhstfdtiOn III uOuOT VI tuc IeduS BEbdb
work. 1t will be ladies' day also, and a band
will be engaged to give an open air concert
on the grounds just previous to the game.
There is no doubt but that an overwhelming
crowd will turn out to welcome the cham
Dions home, and with Dave Rowe's sluggers
they promise us rattling good game.
the last games on the home grounds this
season will be three transferred from Des
Moines here, on September 81, % and 23. On
the oath the team leaves on its final trip of
the season, playing the last game at Milwau
kee on Thursday, the Goth. They will then
return to Omaha for series of exhibition
games. and among the clubs that will prob
ably be here within the following two weeks
are the Cincinnatis and Kansas Citys, of
the American association, and the Cleve-
lands and Indianapolis, of the National
league
The boys have now the pennant practically
won, as it would require fifteen defeats out
of the nineteen games yet to play, to deprive
them of this honor. So on next Friday, when
witnessing the conflict between the White
Sox and the Mountaneers, the fans can con-
gratulate themselves that they are looking
upon the champions of 1890.

BEATRICE, Neb., Sept. 9-[Special Te!e-
gram to The BEE. The question of Iocat-
ing the new Kansas City & Beatrice passen-
ger depot was definitely settled this after
noon. The point decided upon is the present
site of the Rock Island depot, on South
Sixth street. The Kansas City &c Beatrice,
and the Rock Island roads will use the build
ing jointly. The location is not what was
generally desired but it is freely admitted
that it is the best location, all things consid-
cred, that could be chosen. The location of
the depot there has effectually killed the
union depot scheme, although four roads en-
terIng the city parallel here not dozen rods
