O , tomorrow night
Is the night when
Jack Davit , Oma
ha's heavy weight
pugilist , and Billy
Woods , Denver's as
pirant lor champion
ship honors , moot ,
Is It I Well , it wit )
bo light , there's no
doubt about that ,
nnd Jack's hundreds
of admirers hero
will anxiously await
news of the result. Tlio battla Is to take
place In tlio Pacific club , San Francisco , and
is for n purse of $ , ' ,500 , and no light outsldo
of those between Corbott and Jackson , Kil-
rain and Codfroy and Dempsey and La
Blanche , has created moro excitement and
speculation among the fancy of the coast than
this. They are banking on a great battle ,
and probably will not bo disappointed. Call-
fornlans have soon Davis perform , and consequently
quently bavo a very healthy regard for him.
They saw the pride of the coast , Joe ClioynskI ,
narrowly escape de-feat at his hands , In fact ,
it is claimed , and on good grounds too , that
it was not the long arms nnd knotty dukes of
the doughty Bohemian that pulled out that
purse for him , but tbo pong which announces
the beginning and cndlnir of each round. The
manipulation or this bud been so admirably
arranged that It Ingeniously prolonged the
three minutes in which Choynski was getting -
ting iho best of it , and abroviatcd the period
In which the Omaha man was proving him
self a hara citizen. In the fifth round Jack
had his man done , ha was groggy and help
less , and one moro punch would have orovon
a sure enough narcotic , but just as Davis was
about to hand it to him , the gong sounded ,
fully three-quarters of a minute before tlmo
wns up. This proved Choynski's salvation.
The allotment of a little extra time for rest
enabled Joo's friends to shape him up won
derfully , and from that on ho fought the
battle out on different tactics from those
which marued his movements from the
beginning. Davis had started in on
_ xtt'0 ' hurricane style , nnd Choynski being unprepared -
prepared for such treatment had the hands
of a comparatively unknown man , would
surely have been beaten had it not boon for
the unmistakable warning ho received In
the filth. After that ho stood off and allowed
Davis to outright himself , then at the oppor
tune moment , .sailed in nnd cut on the
kibosh. In the nrst Ilvo rounds it was
Greek against Creole , Choynski fighting in
much the sumo style as Davis. However , be
that as It may , tbo club patrons are all ugog
over the coutllct of tomorrow night. ' Up to
yiithlu the past week Davis has been n prime
* farorlte at till the rosorts.andas a result thcro
has been but little betting , the Woods fol
lowers demanding preposterous odds. In the
last few days , though , there has been a
narked change and the sentiment prevails
that Woods Is a very likely young
fellow and that his chances nro not nearly so
meagre as at first supposed. Ho is training
at Sansalito. along with Hoddy Gallagher ,
who is preparing lor his fight with Young
Mitchell , mid the reports have been coming
In that ho is showing up in wonderful form.
Being a healthy , robust youth , ho takes nat
ural Iv to training , and Is said to bo. so far as
physical preparation goes' , perfection itself ,
btlil those reports have not begot sufllcient
-i Confidence among Billy's supporters to lu
, - ll uco thorn to lay much money In fact , none
at all on oven terms on iho outcome.
Davis still remains close at hU quarters on
the Jose road quietly fitting himself lor a
Jtnock-out condition , under tha intelligent
laentorship of his brother Charles , Danny
rJeocilinm nnd Australian Billy Smith , who
Whipped Tom AlcCarty last Tuesday night.
It goes without saylug that he Is in line fettle ,
nnd that when ho stops into the rlnir
tomorrow night ho will bo lit to lleht for a
roan's llfo. Just before leaving for tbo Slope
Jack tola the writer that of all the fights bo
bad ever been in , this Is the ono ho wanted
to win. It is more money than either man
has over fought for , nnd the feeling between
them is not exactly of a dovo-liko character.
In any event , somebody Is going to got hurt ,
but Jack is my choice for a winner.
It Was a Killer.
The reorganization of the Omaha ball club
lias done moro to damage the interests in the
gam * in this city than any ono ether thing- ,
excepting the wrecking of tbo old club in
July. After this had boon accomplished , and
it was ascertained beyond any manner of
doubt that the members of the old club could
not bo retained , the game should have boon
dropped , absolutely , for the rest of the soa-
Bon. This was tbo urgent advice of TUB
BEE , and the probable results wcro specific
ally pointed out. The linportunatlon of
President KrautholT and the ether clubs ,
prevailed , however , and the ill-advised
echumo was pushed forwara. This was
made possible , though , only bv the promised
aid of Ily Hnch of the Minneapolis club ,
Dicif Mulcahy of the Sioux Cltys , President
Glllolto of tbo Mllwuukcos Pros. Pack
ard and John Speas of the Kan
sas Citys. Thoio gentlemen put
flown their natros for f.VX ) ouch , then the city
was canvassed nnd about fl.MW was raised.
Tills latter subscription , however , was all
that over materialized with the exception of
n couple of hundred dollars from Sioux City ,
nnd Denver's and Kansas City's
full quota. Shortly subsequent Mluno-
npolls threw up the sponge and Hach
refused to put up a penny of his Omaha subS -
S < jcriptlon ; then Milwaukee Jumped to the
American , and Glllotto wont back on his do
nation , and the result was that the Omaha
club found Itself subsisting on wind In loss
than three weeks after its advent into llfo.
( The Inevitable consequence was iho complcto
collupso of ton days ago. The only wonder is.
that manager Load ley was enabled to keep
the club in existence as long as ho did. This
% vas a bltlor and oxpcnsivoexporlonco to sev
eral local parties , and tboy now sco the folly
of the undertaking at the start. But it is too
late for lamentations or regret. Tbo work
lias been done and there Is a nuciber of
orstwhllo rank enthusiasts In the
oport who wouldn't touch It again with a
ton-foot polo. They wore honest nnd earnest
In their rfforts to rehabilitate the Rnmo hero ,
though , and are entitled to the fullest mcas-
Uro of credit. They hoped to sustain the
reputation of tbo town as being a Ilvo and
prosperous burg and able to maintain nny
Dutornriso in which it entered , ana It Is a
pity tboy failed. Mr. Hach and Mr. Gillette ,
us a grand denouement to the muddle , will
bo made to show In tbo courts why the
amounts subscribed by them are not collect-
rjblo.
Tlio 1'lot Continue * to Thicken.
From the tone of iho base ball press
throughout the west the prospects for a now
kjsooiation out this way next year looks slim
ludood. President Spoas and the stockholders
pf the Kauoas City club nro already casting
their lines far a berth somewhere next sea-
ton , nnd they claim that tbo bars to the
American association will bo lot down for
them. Spoa has had several conferences
with thu boss dunderhead , Chris Von dor
Abe , of tbo association In the last wcolr , and
professes much Jubilation over the chances
lor his club. Tbo St. Louis papershowever ,
flo not Justify Johnulo's elation. The Globe-
Democrat says ;
"President Speas of the Kansas City club
arrived. In St. Louis yesterday morning and
Witnessed thogamo between the Baltimore *
nd Browns from President Von dor Abo's
box. Ho came hero to arrange for a series of
exhibition games between the Browns and
Kansas Cltys , to DO played after the close of
tbo championship season , and Incidentally to
ascertain what chance there was for Kansas
City to accuro an American association fran-
chlio. The datcj for the ( jamns were
arranged , and ho wan given to understand
that , In the qvent of St , LouU and Baltimore
withdrawing from the association to enter
the league , Kanias City would have a chance
10 enter the charmed clrcio. "
1 > roai this it would seem that tu < cowboys
chances nr0 not overly brilliant , for It Ii extremely
tromoly problematical wher thcro will bo any
addition * to the toaguo In another year. Tbo
The St , Louis Hopubllo oven goes farther
and pokes all sorts ot fun n
Kansas City nnd her base b.M
ruplrntlons , and says tbat the
vlllapo on the Knw has no show for a plae <
In the rmoclatlon as long as Chicago and
Brooklyn remain on earth , nnd wants to
know what Ii tbo matter with Omaha , Lin
coln , Sioux City nnd other metropolitan
western cities. Thcio pleasantries had a
bad effect on the Kansas City Times' young
man. and ho Irately declares that "tho Ho-
public knows no rnoro about what Is going to
happen in the bate ball world than a Kansas
coyote , nnd when President Speas says that
Kansas City has a chance to gat in the Amor
lean association bo very probably knows
what ho Is talking about. "
Another stack of whites , ploaso.
The Hniuicr IJnso Hall Mess.
The Don Qulxoto war in the Western asso
ciation Is being still llorcoly waged. To the
cranks familiar with ah the phases of tbo
campaign it has been an amusing ono , but
the grand flnalo Is most ludicrous , Tbo once
powerful (1) ( ) organization has nctuallv scopet
away until but two clubs remain , that is ,
but two clubs which will finish the season ,
Kansas City ana Sioux City. Slnco the flnal
bust up of the Omaha club , Denver has been
arbitrarily and unjustly kicked out into the
cold world. However , she claims that she Is
still In the light and her team will report
dally on their grounds for each game sched
uled there , and If she llnds no loam there to
do her battle , the game will bo hers 0 to 0 ,
according to all rules and regulation ? . Presi
dent Packard declares that his team will bo
kept intact and all salaries paid in full
to the legitimate close of the season ,
and that at the end bo will claim the pen
nant , and It looks as if his claim must stand.
Ho cannot loose a gamu under the pres
ent status of things , and the eleven
straight games scbodulod for Denver will
give thorn the championship by a clear mar
gin. Packard declares that if there is a post
season or world's championship series played
with the National league winners It must bo
played with his team. On the other hand
Kansas City and Sioux City are determined to
play out the remaining games between them
selves and the team that coir03 out with the
best percentage shall bo awarded the
championship , nnd have the call
on the world's series with
the champions of the league. Johnnto Speas
nnd Count Mulcahy say that Denver should
have boon built somewhere in Kansas or Iowa
If she wanted to romalu'.in the Western asso
ciation until the termination of tbo season of
1891 , nnd Packard gets b.iok nt them with the
assertion that neither ono of those states
would make a good suburb for Denver. Was
there over such another moss in base bain
Slnco writing the above Sioux City finished
the season hlono by herself , and Mr. Mul
cahy will award his team the pennant as
soon ho can have ono mado. Kansas City has
Joined Denver in the grand kicking match ,
but Mulcahy Is on top.
Two Sets of Clininploii < ) .
Sioux Ulty claims that she has made ar
rangements to play the Chicagos n series of
games during the reign of the corn palacn.
Anson , however , denies this , but says ho
will , in all probability , moot the western
champions , in case an underatatrfing is not
reached with the American association. In
.such an event ho would prefer a whnck at
the champion association team. If no settle
ment is effected with tbo latter bed } ' , however -
over , how will the winners of the Western
association bo determined upon. Denver , by
the system of forfeited names she is now enJoying -
Joying , must certainly emerge from the strife
at the close of the season with tno highest
percentage of won games , which will give
her the pennant. Bui Kansas City and the
Corn Huskcrs have played out the season all
by their lonclies , and Sioux City de
clares that she has now the bunt
ing. It is a stupendous problem , and
the great board of mis-control can alone
figure out the solution. But it is a shabby
way , In any event , to treat the second big
gest base bail organization on earth , isn't Itt
.As it now looks thcro are bound to bo two
sets of Western association champions.

This makes the greatest Held of racing
men over entered for a single professional
raco. The track will bo tbo some size as that
in the Coliseum in your city , but the turns
will bo raised four inches to the foot , which
will make this track much faster. The race
starts October IS , at 12:05 : midnight. If
possible a six-day race will bo arranged with
Iho most of those won for Omaha sometime
In December , that is if I can offer sufllcient
Inducements for them to go so far wost.

Croat Danes In Oinalin.
Hal McCord , through Charlie Sabins of the
Diamond , who is unquestionably the best lo
cal authority on the Gorman mastiff , has Just
imported a magnificent specimen of thi * royal
brood , at a cost of $150. "Thoros , " Is a tiger
striped great Dane , ten months old , thirty-
flvo inches on the shoulder , stick measure ,
and weighs 150 pounds. Ho if n superb ani-
maland possibly the superior of any Great
Dane owned in this part of the country.
There are but three other specimens of the
thorough bred Gorman mastiff owned in this
city beside Thoros , Dan Allen by Pluto , out
of Jeannette , Is owned by JacK Morrison. Ho
Is a line follow. Ho is sixteen months old ,
thirty-flvc Inches at the shoulder and weighs
ISO pounds. Nnnon , n beautiful blue bitch ,
by Major out of Juno , is tbo property of
Charllo Sabins. She Is thirty-four and one-
half on tbo shoulder , weighs 140 pounds and
Is not qulto fourteen months old. The other
dog , a white and black , and also a splendid
specimen is owned by Charlie Kosters. This
Is the dog brought over from Germany by
Fred Krug this summer , but his pedigree 1s
not at hand.
Ttio Knnncl Club's Work.
The Omaha Kennel club , notwithstanding
itbas not been heard from In any measurable
extent recently , is still in a healthful and
nourishing condition. Now members are
being admitted every week and by next
spring the organization will bo strong enough
to Justify something elaborate In tbo bench
show lino. There has been a noticeable
growth In the interest of fine dogs slnco the
organization was formed , and ovcrv effort
will bo made to maintain and increase thu
feeling. There Is no fancy in the world that
gives greater pleasure than dogs , and they
may bo made to pay well. In fact , there Is
money In broodlnir dogs for market , and con
siderable fortunes bavo boon made in the
business. But , of course , It Is with this as
with everything else Intelligence and pains
taking effort are essential to success.
Miscellaneous Ijoual Sports.
From the present abundance of water in
all tbo lakes and streams , sportsmen are
counting on great geese and duck shooting
this fall.
Pat Allen , formerly of this city , fought
Gcorgo Lear at Loadvlllo last Wednesday
night and knocked him out alter a terrifllo

Teal shooting Is fairly good , mornings and
evenings , ut most all of the adjacent waters.
3orao fairly good bags have been made at
Houoycrook , Honoshoo and Cut-off lakes.

The report that the Jacks have como In is
erroneous. The birds rarely drop down hero
before the last of September. The trouble Is
that the average gunner who goes a11 old

The late Danlol S. Parmeleo was a sporti-
nnn of the old school. Ho was n charter
member of the original Omaha Gun club ,
along with Judge Kennedy nnd ether well

Polo Simpson , nn Inveterate sportsman ,
has Just roturncd from n hunt in the north
western part of the state. Ho reports the
prospects for the approaching wild fowl sea
son to bo unpreccdontedly good , as already
there has been nn unusual incoming of teal
and mallard.
Billy Thompson , Frank Wlthnell and
Warren Finch of this city , nnd Al Lomax
and Bob Douglas of Lexington spent several
days camning last week near tbo latter
place. They returned Saturday with n
wagon load of game , including 121 chicken ;
and any quantity of smaller gitmo.
It is no moro than Just to Fred Fuller testate
state that bo made his scores at the late
tournament of the Schutzonveroin under un
favorable circumstances. Ho had been suf
fering from a cold for a week , and on the
last day , whan ho shot till race with John
Pelty , was nervous nnd unsteady. Mr. Ful
ler will insist on another crack at the cham
pion before the 'now boirius to fly.
Jncx Prince , tbo bicyclist , has turned up in
Dos Molncs , nnd tbo first coal train Is liable
to bring him hero. The Register says of him :
"John S. Prince , known to all wheelmen as
the champion long distance rider of the
world , was the central llguro of a group of
wheelmen who assembled at tno fair grounds
track Sunday morning. Just for exercise Mr.
Prince rode around the track with the Dav
enport boys , ono of the latter taking the place
of another as bo became winded or tired.
Thus the champion tired out the whole crowd
ono by ono , and then after bis last competitor
dropped out h < * gave an exhibition of fast
riding. His endurance was wonderful , tbo
exertion scarcely producing an irregularity in
his breathing , but leaving him as fresh and
chipper as a spring chicken after a rain. "

Schrivor , the old Milwaukee catcher , Is
doing about tbo host back stop work in the

of six games ho has lost but one.
What is tbo matter with Cooneyl He

moro lasting in its effects than was at first
supposed.
The Kansas City-Sioux City series for the
Western association championship closed
according to Mulcaby's edict last Fri
day , according to an agreement between
themselves. Denver will go on , however , to
tbo legitimate close of the season , and claim
every game for which she was originally
scheduled.
Bob Lcadloy said the sight of a man pas-
ng the hat around in the grand stand at
Sioux City for subscriptions to helo out
Dmaba was a picture that made him blush.
But it was true , nnd quarters and dimes and
nickels wcro deposited in the cady to the
tune of $18.75 , but Manager Bob refused to
accept them !
After tno season is finished representatives
from Hastings , Fremont , Plnttsmouth , Beatrice -
rice , Kearney , Grand Island , Nebraska City
and Blair will moot for the purpose of seeing
what can bo done towards organizing a state

business ho decided to take less spacious
quarters nnd rent the Spruce street bouso to
others. This ho did , and is now living in a
$700 house in West Philadelphia while ho
draws 31,500 rent for the city house.
