BASEBALL NOTES.

The Omaha Club has issued manifesto that
is causing considerable uneasiness among the
magnstes OF the League, especially as the
manifesto bears the Endorsement of Mr.. L. C.
krauthof, president of the Western Associa-
tion, and a member of the national board of
control. The manifesto is an expulsion of
the following players who lately left the
Omaha ranks to seek their fortunes else
where: E. w. Sutcliffe, A. McCauley, j. B.
Donnelly, l.. G. Twitchell, I. q. Griffin, w.
ID. Clark, and II. Eiteljorg 1t will be OBJ
served that the contingent that joined the
Nationals OF this city is named, excepting
Shannon, but these and the others do not
cause half of the gossip that the name of Hal
ligan does. He Joined the League team of
Cincinnati, and that club has persistently re-
fused to surrender him, and as the Omahas
are members of the national agreement and
Mr.. Krauthoff is member of the board of
control, it will be perceived what pickle the
clubs of the national agreement are in. Man
ager Shannon, of the Nationals, was not ex-
PEELED with the rest as he had special ar
rangement.
The Cincinnatis have walked the plank and
their place is to be filled by the Milwaukees.
1t will be relief to,the American Association,
as the Cincnnatis have been dead weight
on the other teams.
On Monday the Nationals will play the
Athletics at National Park This will be the
laSt game at nome Tor some time. On Thurs
day, Friday, and Saturday the Nationals play
in Baltimore
Maybe old Cy. Sutcliffe isn't hitting the
ball in great shape just now If he continues
he will make himself the best hitter of the
Association.
Beecher, formerly of the Nationals and
afterward of the Athletics, has been signed by
the Philadelphia League team.
Manager and Captain shannons absence is
a severe drawback. He is a good team
worker and good general.
The Nationals have played good ball but the
other teams have played better. We are out
classed.
Eiteljorg has not proven as successful as his
friends expected him to be with the Nationals
Roach, OF the Post, is the best man that
journal ever had to do its baseball work.
Tail enders. 1t sounds very natural
1t seems to please the fances of our people
to be back at the old mooring.
McCawley connects with the ball in good
way.
Give Freeman show. He is a pitcher.
National Park looks very pretty

Arrested for Forgery.

Leander N. Guy is locked up in the First
precinct charged with forgery. The COM
plainant is Mr.. Richard B. Lloyd, a lawyer.
The latter's story is that in June, 1889. L. N.
Guy presented an order to his clerk, signed
by Richard B. Lloyd, for his buggy that was
standing in front of his Office, and gaining pos
session drove away, and from that time
until the present he has never seen his
horse or buggy. Yesterday he saw Mr. GUY
on the street for the first time since the oc-
currence, and he swore out warrant for the
arrest Mr.. Guy, who is fifty years old, says
the arrest is an outrage. He says he has
and this is the first time he has ever heard
OF the horse and buggy story. Meanwhile
Guy is held, as he is unable to obtain bail.

AMATEUR BASEBALL.

CAPE MAY POINT, n. j., Aug. 15.-Presi-
dent Harrison, accompanied by Mrs. DIM
mick, visited the grounds of the Cape May
Athletic Association this afternoon and wit
messed game of baseball between the Cor
hams, team composed of colored profess
sional players, and the Cape May nine, which
was won by the former by score of to
nothing. The President appeared much in
terested In the game and applauded all the
good plays.
The Washington Light Infantry had splen-
did team early in the season and it was thought
that they would give the Columbias lively
fight for the A. A. u honors. Unfortunately
there was little concerted action On the part of
the team, and at important games some of the
best players absented themselves. 1t is to be
hoped that next season John Heyden will run
the team, as his work last year was the cause
of the clubs success,
The Olympics of West Washington have
not lost game this season and they have met
some of the best teams in this vicinity. They
are sprightly set of youngsters and ere the
season closes would like to get in series with
the Columbia Athletics. The Columbias
should accommodate them as the contests
would be excellent practice affairs for the A.
A. U. meeting.
Hiram Wright of the Columbia Athletics,
who played professionally with the Washing
lOu anu Troy I6hmb, mas nau MS disabilities
removed by the Amateur Athletic Union and
he is now full-fedge1 amateur. He will be
great help to the club In the championship
race.
The Boston Athletic team will visit here
shortly to play the Columbia Athletics game.
These Boston boys are putting up great
game OF ball and are sweeping things before
them In the North.
The amateur season has demonstrated one
thing very forcibly. That is that this city has
plenty OF hrst-class ability to fill up gaps in
the professional teams
Maybe ''Kid" Fitzmorris of the G. A. c.
isn't hitting the ball in great shape. He is
verftable Brouthers.
Mr.. Belts who has officiated as umpire in
the amateur series, did his work well and ac-
ceptably.
The Columbias have not lost game In the
A. A. U. SERIES This is creditable.
They viii now prepare to meet the New
York Athletics.
The w. L. 1. c. had strong team but was
poorly handled
The Y. NJ. c. A. deserve credit for the good
fight they made.
They have won it by their superior all
around play.
The Columbia Athletics are champions.

The Nationals returned to the city yester-
day, and near v 1000 people crowded through
the turnstiles to see them play. The team
kept up their bad work and gave a somewhat
tame exhibition Of weakness at the bat and
miserable base-running. Griffin made his re-
appearance and showed that he was the star
player OF the team. Csrsey was In to pitch
and pitched well up to the eighth inning, when
the Athletics by placing lot of chance hits
secured FIVE runs. The game opened auspi-
ciously for the Nationals, as Dowd reached
first on Hallmsn's muff of his high fly, clean
steal to second and home on Griffin's clean
hit to centre field. Sutcliffe also hit safely,
but Mcclure and McCauley were retired,
leaving two men on bases. The Athletics
evened up affairs in the second, as after two
men were out Corcoran hit for a base, went to
third on wild pitch, and scored on Sutcliffe's
wild throw.
In the third Lawrence Patrick Murphy hit
pretty one to left Dowd sacrificed him
to second, and then he came home on Griffin's
hit. Sutcliffe reached first, Griffin going to
third and Sutcliffe went to second, but again
Mcclure and McCauley failed to score them,
Mcclure striking out and McCauley being
thrown out at first. In the seventh the Ma
tlonals had three men on bases, but owing to
the deception of Brother GUS curves they
could not advance them base. The Ma.
Iionais scored Inelr last run In the
eighth. McCauley and Hatfield secured
bases on balls after two hands were out
and on Corcorans wild throw of
Alvord's grounder McCauley scored. In the
eighth came the Waterloo, as Carsey
started out by presenting Woods and Nc
Tammany with bases on balls. Larkin and
Milligan followed with hits, scoring the first
two. Corcoran hit a savage one at Carsey,
which caromed off his leg and allowed Larkin
to score. Mulvey then hit safely, scoring
Hallman, and to add to the misery Corcoran
scored on Sutcliffe This closed the agony, as
in the ninth the Nationals failed to connect,
and another defeat is added to their long
list. The score in full is as follows:
