Dick McCormick's Fiat

Dick Mccormick, the president of the
Omaha base ball club, has determined to buy
up all the stock of the local club Qy retire
from base ball The likelihood is, however,
that in another ten days he will be the ex-
elusive owner of the club in its entirety. as
he had already purchased the stock of John
A Creighton and John A. McShanc, the two
next highest holders to Mccormick himself,
and last night was negotiating with the
other largest holders. If McCor-
mick succeeds IN his intention, the
smaller stockholders will be frozen
out, as the local base bal, magnate IS re
solved to be the sole possessor of the club
or disconnect himself entirely with 1t. He
argues that this is the only way to insure II
first class team ana first class ball for Omaha
next season, as he promises, if he succeeds in
obtaining control, to pitch right in and sign
q team that can not fail to please the veriest
crank IN town. He will spare no expense in
the accomplishment of this end and devote
the bulk of his time henceforward to ad-
yanCcment of the game

A Good Race.


Considerable rivalry has existed as to the
merits of the black stallion Graham's Nam
brino and the bay gelding Bay F'raEk, and
ten days ago the two were matched at 500
side, the race to be trotted at the Omaha
far grounds October H. Grahams Nam.
brino has n record of 2:21l !, and is owned by
Robert W. Graham, of Humboldt. Bay
Frank has "a record of 2:.S /, and is in tho
stable of Adam Thomson, at the fair grounds.
Both are bred in trottirg lines, and when in
condition for fast work are more than aver
age performers. When they met yesterday
afternoon TO fulfil the conditions of the
match, both contestants were lame. For
tunately they had track favorable to ailing
limbs or feet. as the long continued dry
weather provided a loose surface
Mambrino was a strong favorite in what
little betting that was INDUCED in by the
moneyed men who drove ouf from town 10
see the sport In the scoring Bay Frank
proved himself TO be the promptest horse.
Mambrno was inclined 10 lag although as
the race progressed he warmed out of his
lameness and kept improving. Frank was
driven By Thomson and Fred Robarc handled
the black stallion.
At 2:3O the judges, Messrs. D. w. Mount,
joe Withrow and Fred Thorne, called up the
horses, previously explaining the terms and
conditions of the match. After scoring
eleven times they got the word, Bay Frank
breaking on the turn to the backstretch.
Grahaus MamDfiho, VINO drew the pole,
took the lead and held it 10 the
second turn, where Frank over
hauled and passed him. On the third
turn Mambrino put in few Jumps,
losing ground Frank increasing his lead 10
four good lengths. The bay geldng held his
advantage aud won well in hand, in 2:321S
The quarter was trotted IN 80 seconds, half
in l;s2I4, and three-quarters in 1;55.
The two got an even start In the second
heat. Frank reached the turn first with an
open length To spare. Mambrino could not
carry the clip on the short turn and broke.

to-day in which various corporations and in.
dividuals of Iowa are endeavoring to recover
the amount Of judgments obtained in the
courts of that state against the Des MONIES.

BASE BALL.
The Base BAN situation.


So far as Il close and exciting finish is con-
cerned, the American association peuuant
chase is not one whit behind that of the Ma
tional league. Brooklyn went down before
the Crooks aud Riley team, of Columbus,
o., yesterday, and in consequence suffered u
tumble of five points in her percentage over
the ST. Louis Browns. and the Brldegrooms
now hold the slender vantage of eight points.
st. Louis and Cincinnati failed TO play on ac-
count of wet grounds, or the distance be-
tween the two teams might be shu
less, There is no telling about this,
however, as Cincinnati has at last
struck her gait, as she invariably does at the
flag END of the race, and is playing great
bali. However, the Browns chances are
very bright, and Brooklyn must win from
the Babies to-day, or her name is Dennis.
Cincinnati has oyerhauled and passed the
Athletics and is now safely intrenched in
third place with Sharsig's men fourth, Bal
tmore NTH, Columbus sixth, Kansas City
seventh aud Louisville last. Columbus is
putting up an article of hall that is astOund-
