The now Omaha
Atlilotlo club has
.evidently . llllod a
vacuum that has
existed for many
years In the city's
list of dlvertlso-
tnonts for her young
men , ns the enthu
siastic crowds that
nightly fill In hand-
apartments Indlsputnbly attest. And
that It Is not going to provo an ophomonvl
lad there Is every ovldcnco In the world , but
Instead , nn enduring resort that will go on
nJdlng to and enlarging Its capacity for good
ns times wanos. Already the momborsblp
runs well up into the hundreds , embracing a
largo number of Omaha's most rcspoctablo
and best known young and middle
oged business men , and BO numerous
are the incoming applications ns to abso
lutely and forever remove all solicitude as to
the future success or the Institution. One of
the most pleasing of nil the many meritorious
features nntlcoublo about the club's com
pletely equipped quarters is the fact that the
directory , which includes President George
W. Amoa , Jr. , Vice Proildcnt John M. Thurs-
ton , Secretary Harry McCormlck , HODVolU ,
Chat Uodiclc , Hert Cook , .lobn Thomas , C.
W. Martin and J. II. MuUouald , are starting
out In a way to Insure the fullest and most
lasting success , a statement which is on-
Uorsod by the fact that the project makes
Us initiatory bow from a thoroughly first
class and metropolitan standpoint. A de
scription of the club's elaborate and costly
equipment has already been repeatedly
noticed In thcso columns , but as yet
tittle tins been said with reference to the
provision * for employing and prullling by its
utilization , In the lirst pluco the directory
has installed n general manager , in the person
of C. D. Duller , who i responsible to this
board for every thing that takes pluco within
ony of the exercise departments , and the of-
llclont way in which ho has assumed charge
of those numerous details is testimony enough
that the position has DOOM well filled. Jim
Hlghtower , n professional boxer of rare
ability , prosldosovor the dopartmontwhorom
is tnu'cht the manly art of solf-dofonsowhich
Is ono of the most papular and ut-
trauilvo branches of the whole cnlisthenio
curriculum. In Ilightowor the directory
has again demonstrated that wisdom which
to far has governed all their proceedings. IIo
U n young man , with the combalntivo olood
of old Castile coursing through his veins , a
good specimen of the physical man , and one
whose anything but limited experience
within the roped arena before sturdy lees
has acquainted Mini with nil the tactics of the
profession , and endowed him with n knowl
edge of Dolsurto's manual that well enables
him to teach the young idea how to feint ,
load , purry and counter. In Mons. Hougol
the club has a master or the fencing art ,
Whllo Prof. Hrookncr , ns general supervisor
over the whole department of physiculturo ,
fills the bill to a nicety. Under those nuspieos
physical training is becoming quite the thing
In Omnhn , and true it is that the young gen
tleman of tno day could have no loftier am
bition. It is a nice thing to know just how
to handle yourself under circumstances justi
fying n liberal exercise of the biceps , a nice
thing to hnndlo the foil with doxtorlty. for
pleasure or exorcise ; to Know how to kick
a foot ball , row a boat , to bowl the spheres
or run , Jump or walk mid hold your own In
all the requirements that go toward making
UD the perfect man. The athletic club Is the
open sosuwo to all theiodesirable accomplish
ments. It will pay the average young man.
however , be ho clerk , student or scion
of leisure , well to remember that
there has been a good deal of
exaggeration in stories of Greek prowess ,
and they must not build their notions too high.
Undoubtedly wo are in possession of some
fairly accurate figures concerning the feats
of the old athletes , but there ore many
absurdly fake estimate * of the early boxing ,
running , Jumping and throwing. The
Panbollonio games brought forward men
who had been in training for great periods
for special feats. The honors wcro such
that no amount of training was deemed too
considerable , but given n fraction of their
practice our modern athletes would greatly
hurpass the Greek records. If the modern
horse is quicker than the ancient , the
modern man is quicker also. And
oven now , some of the students at
the Omaha Atlilotlo club , I know can
perform feats that would have astonished
nn audience in the days of the Olympiad.
And , as for the matter of physique , there
has boon equally great exaggeration In that
regard , Plato tolls us that the sculptors
took considerable liberty in departing from
the actual form of llio model , and many
other evidences point to a relative inferior
ity of the ancient races , and no one should
doubt that the world Is producing men of
finer form than over , nud will probably con-
tlnuo to do so on to the end of time , and the
young men of the Omaha Athletic club
Miould not despair , lit least some of them , of
reaching a plane as near perfection at Is poi-
tdblo. It should not no lost sight of , either ,
that the muscular system of man is not made
up of chest and biceps , but Is n wonderful
mid complex organization in which ono part
is intimately connected and dependent on
the other , and If the system ns n whole
is not kept In mind the moro strengthening
of the arms will not superinduce permanent
strength or permanent health. A man may
become proficient in punching nn Inflated bag
and yet not know how to carry his own body.
Physical health must , indeed , become some
thing more than a more fad before our
voting mon can do themselves justice in the
eternal struggle for higher Ideals. The suc
cessful aspirants are these who pay atten
tion to the oven development of the whole
body , Instead of to the ulcops and obost
ilone , and these are the class that como
under the head of nil round athletes , these
who cultivate the brain , the head , the whole
body , arms , legs and feet , us wall ns any
especial sot of muscles , and it Is pleas
ing to nato that most of the
students at the local gyrn indulging in
practice in all the departments , Instead of
confining themselves to any ono or two.
Already the Onmhn Athletic club has n
number of men in the different departments
whoso work will compare favorably with that
of older and moro experienced men. In the
boxing class Lee Snratlln , Chat Itodlok ,
Charles Crallo and Bob Wells and many
others have made remarkable progress under
Prof. HIghtowor's Intelligent treatment , and
promise to develop Into very sclontlllo nor-
( armors with the in its. Any ono of them , to
day , would bo n bad man In his class In a
icrap , but of course these boys do not Intend
to light , but are only preparing Miomsclvos
ana getting into condition to success
fully meet and cope with the various vicis
situdes liable to overtake ono any tlmo in
the course of his existence. For all-
round athletes Clmrllo Martin , Charlie Tut-
Hold , Albert ilelntz , Elmer Zimmerman , Deb
Nichols , Harry McCormlck and Mr , Meyers
are worthy exponents , Mr. Holutz has n line
record In the Turners societies over tlio coun
try , and as a jumper and a bar performer has
but few superiors , even In llio professional
ranks , /.immornmn U also great on the
parallel bar * and the horse , and Bob Nichols
: nn vault , tumble , Jump and sprint with the
best of them.
The directory ere considering thn
idvlsablllty of keeping a winter's
record of tbo bowlers und of

Robert Patrick Is dolnit n peed deal of
hustling these days for a man with n game
loir , In tils ardor to have the Omaha Athletic
Club foot ball team In readiness for the field
ThanksgUIng day. The prospects nro that
ho Is going to bo eminently successful , as the
talent for an undoubtedly strong eleven has
boon banded together from among the mem
bers of the Omaha Athletic club. Mr. Patrick -
rick owing to nn Injured foot , of course will
not bo able to play , but will act as manager
and hnvo full charge of the team hi the pre
liminary courio of training and olT
the Held. The members from whom
the team will bo selected are C.
1C. Crallo , William Doano , Chnrllo Tunield ,
John Potrlcif , A. A. Smith , C. T. Brainurd ,
Arthur Mctz , Charles Wilson. John Sher
wood. Chat Kedlck , Uort Hook , Hob Nichols ,
Will Hoaglatiil , E. A. Shophard , Leo Sprat

list Includes many old college boys , Yale ,

and thov know how to play foot ball as is foot

bo selected from such stalwarts ns Crallo ,
Doano. Patrick , Smith , Dralnard , Wtlsou ,
Nichols , Sherwood , Urowu and Do Pochor ,
while for backs there nro Tuftleld , Kodick ,

ing It no difficult matter for Manager Patrick
to make up n team stout onoucb
to compote with most any that can bo
named , 'iho colors of the team will bo whlto

rccular match game has been fixed for

In general. Manager 1'utricle , while ho is in
iiowtso particular ugalnst whom his team Is
pitted Thanksgiving day , docs not expect
much from It this season , owing to the late
day of getting started , and only looks for the
boys to limber up a little , got acquainted
with ono another and formulate n code of
signals for the contests to como. Mr. Patrick Is
unquestionably the right man for iho manage
ment , having uocn n.student at Yale in the
Uuvs of Bob Cook , the oarsman , and Kellogg ,
Thompson and Harding , the foot ball expurts.
Ho witnessed the first foot ball game under
the Hugby rules uetwcon Harvard and Yale
nt old Homdcn paru , Now Haven , In IbbO.
and when Yale unexpectedly snored n signal
victory. This memorable contest took place
Just subsequent to Harvard's victorious tour
through tlio Cuuadas. They challenged Yale
to organize a team and give them b.itllo and
Yale promptly accepted , and after but two
weeks' ' practice the two great college teams
mot. No one expected Yule to even make
u creditable showing , and In consequence
there was no betting on the outcome
and but a small crowd to see the sport. Yale
won , however , almost hands down , the
achievement being ono of the cleanest cut
ever witnessed upon any Hold. Slnco then
Yale has boon in the front rank.
To avoid endless contention incident to
amateur contests. Manager Patrick will do
well to remember that the greatest essential
In governing play is that each tram bu sup
plied with an experienced coach and a cap
tain who is a good Judge of players , and who
can at all times command the obedience and
respect of his men. Ai all games let there
bo a responsible and competent umpire and
roforqe , ono who can render straightfor
ward and unbiased decisions. This will ob
viate all these tiresome delays and potty
squabbles so Irritating to tbo spectators.
In foot ball , ns in everything else , "prac
tice makes perfect. " Without pr.ictico. and
a hard and systematic practice , too , no team
can hope for victory. The tontn should be
well trained and disciplined , every player
acquainting himself with the requirements
of his individual position , particularly.
Then there is the team work. No eleven
can make any showing without good team
work. "Weight" is a good thing , and , in
deed , a certain amount of "beef" is almost
Indispensiblo. but a light team , if well
trained throughout and efficient in team
work , can almost invariably overcome a
line of heavy weights who have had no
practice.
Foot ball is hound to gain popular f.ivor
hero , and the Omaha Athletic club boys
should oo encouraged in their endeavors.
While us yet the game is comparatively now
to this community and the players , in the
main , somewhat inexperienced , yet , with the
mutorial that abounds and the enthusiasm
that Is everywhere present , some interesting
sport may oo promised oven yet this season.
Lot tbo games bo well patronized , thus lend
ing nn incentive to the players.
It Is not dollnltelv settled vet Just who will
ho opposed to the Omaha Athletio club team
Thanksgiving. Manager Pntriclc wrote to
W. G. Chantland , manager of the
State University of Iowa cloven , and
who had n letter in last Sunday's '
linn , offering to play his team on this oc
casion , nnd give them the entire gate receipts ,
but it seems that this proposition did not
moot the Iowa gentleman's views.
The Story ol'tlio Nniimrcllf | > .
There is ono disconsolate man in the south
end of the city. Ho is "dead game" when a
base bail game Is scheduled for Nonpareil
pane , and not n Sunday afternoon passed but
ho hud a spare dollar to place on tbo Non-
parulls. This disconsolate man took a sort of
parental interest In the work of Omaha's am
ateur champions. His prototype lived in St.
Louis during the amateur days of the thrice
champion Crowns. The St. Louis man in
variably failed to count moro than eight play
ers in the team , because ho always started olT
by figurine the "twoGIoaaons is ono , Mugnor
Is twc , Levis Is three , " und so on until the
ninth ono was missing. The disconsolate
Nonpareil admirer vsuidly fulls into the same
error when describing his favorite team. Ilu
insists that "tho two Mnhonoys- ono. Mo-
AulilTo Is two , my son Tom is three , " etc.
Hut ho loves the national sport ,
nnd even now every Sunday after
noon ho is scheduled to appear ut
the Fifteenth street park and watch the
wind chase the withered lo.ives across the
field and around the bases. And if any
withered loaf cuts second base you can hot
the disconsolate man calls the relic of sum
mer to account for Its rashness.
But about the Nonpareils and their work
during IS'Jl. ' It was -i bold venture on tholr
part to Invest in nn umutour ball and expend
mouoy on its fittings , crude though they are.
but tlio experiment has proved successful and
tholr treasury Is u resultant financial winner.
During the season they pi yod twonty-thrco
games at Omaha , two at Piattsniputh and
two at Lincoln. They broke oven at Plaits-
mouth , eamo homo rrom Lincoln with the
same record , and wore victorious in nine
teen of their games in Omaha. Onlv ono did
they lose to urogular Omaha amateur team ,
and that time to the Cranes at the opening of
thu season.
A good feature of the Nonpareil games was
their uimlrablo team work. Tnis was se
cured bv perfect harmonv among the boys ,
aud their obedience ut play to the orders of
their gentlemanly captain , Jorrv Mnhoncy.
From the first game to the tlmo of Charley
Moriarity's departure for St. Mary's Kan. ,
in iho fall to enter upon a course nt college ,
thu Nonpnriols played with an unbroken
'
team. There woro'no socoders. All tlio
other amateur tennis wont to places cro the
season wan finished , but the Nonpareils
came down to wmtor as they commenced the
suiiimar. Sticking together moro than any
thing else helped them win.

For next season it Is too soon to predict

present convenient grounds , but may bo com
pelled to vacate them. They will Imvo enclosed -
