> 'o\v In flrnornl.
Once moro Omaha's prospects for baseball
are exceedingly bright , tbo now proposed
control league , with its low salary limit ,
bavinir Imbued a number of well known
gentlemen with the old time enthusiasm , nnd
If the proposed circuit pees through Omaha
will bo one of the cities beyond the shadow of
n doubt. Tbo scheme Is looked upon as a
most feasible nnd auspicious ouo , nnd no ef
fort will bo spared by the local parties Inter
ested to brine It tn n successful Issue. There
will bo four delegate * RO ever to the Chicago
mcotlng next Thur day , nnd as they are
gentlemen thoroughly conversant with the
situation here , there Is every probability
that Omaha will bo properly cared
for. Tbo nnmos of tbo parties who will
ODCO moro assume the responsibilities of
restoring the great game hero nro withhold ,
for the present , for prudential reasons , but
tbo patrons ot llio gatno need bo In nowlso
apprehensive but what the city's interests
will bo well looked to , and ns the now league
looks like a foregone conclusion , It Is safe to
say that Omaha will have a good team In
1B03 , nnd that a season of prosperity Is before -
fore them.
And what a circuit the now association
will have : Columbus , Toledo. Indianapolis
and Detroit In thu cast , ntti ) Milwaukee , St.
Paul , ttimneuDolls , Omaha and ICausas City
lii.thowcst. These nro nlno of the host nnd
liveliest and most progressive cities in tbo
union , nnd if they nro unable to support
teams on the economical basis proposed , it
will be astonishing indeed.
TWO CHICAGO OPINIONS.
s Williams ml Hart Talk of the
New Uolti'il Aiwurliitloii.
Cuicxoo , III. , Dee. 31. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Bm.J A looal paper says :
The story tetngrapbod from Philadel
phia regarding the formation of anew
now base ball loaguc , to till the cap
caused by the amalgamation of the American
association mid the Nutlohal league , is con
sidered very flimsy by gentlemen who nro
now under tbo wing of the now twolvo-club
organization. Other people said to be on tbo
inside say it is significant and dcelnro tlio re
will bo a strong oiuht-club league competing
with the new twolvo-club organl/atlon.
George Williams , credited in the dispatches
referred to as being ono of tbo most enthus
iastic men In the scheme , said iu nn inter
view : "I have played ono short and plc-
turcsquo engagement us a base ball magnate ,
nnd that Is enough for mo. However. I bo-
llovo there is a move under way to forma
league consisting of elirht of the strongest
base ball towns in tbo United States , ana of
course to got tbo strongest Chicago would
have to bo on the list , but I will not bo mixed
up in any inoro dickers. The con
solidation of league and associa
tion \vas n move that invited competition ,
and Inside of two years base ball will bo
in the same rut that it emerged from at In
dianapolis. Moneyed men all ever the coun
try interested in the game are willing to
Btake good clubs. 1 will wager that I can
got subscriptions for $50,000 stock for a base
ball club in Chicago to Jlght the now consoli
dation Inside of tbo next twenty-four hours. "
President Hart of the Chicaco club , said :
"Thoro is no danger of any other league
"coming into the , field. The parties that
were interested In the American association ,
and were bought out , could not ongagoin the
business If they wanted to , ns they agreed to
leave base ball alone for five years when
they were bought out , . "
There is n discrepancy in the stbnos told
by Messrs. Hart and WUltams. The former
stains that whuu the local team was bought
out , the good will wont with tbo bargain.
Mr. Williams says there was no such condi
tion in tbo transaction and ho is frco to have
a team play in Chicago If ho sees fit. It Is
not-probable that Mr. Williams will exercise
this option , but it will not bo surprising If
soroo of bis associates tried a hand at the
game again to get oven with the association.

void of actfon , but the second was a rustler.
Van Hoost slammed his man in tbo neck ,
Bwlpodhlm In the Jsw and played checkers
with his ribs. Around the ring wont Rouls ,
stagcering llko a drunken man. lie fore

had enough. Tbo second pugilist wus not so
easy to dliposo of. Ho wus Joe Gcroux , and
ho started out with the dash of a Minnesota
cyclouo. Ho hod hardly shaken bauds with
Jobunlo when ho cut loose his right and
swung it Into a nlcho on Van Heost's Jaw.
Tben Johnnie's blood boiled and ho used
Goroux'a faeo for a punching bag ana made
a drum of bis stomach. It was a hot round ,
but Van Ilcost bad tbo best of It. Joseph , in
the second , swung again , but Van Ilcost
poked him In tbo iieclf. Then bo Jarred his
Jaw and rattled , hla teeth. Joe bccamo
eroggy , and nn upper cut sent him to the
floor. Just ns ha was about to bo counted
out ho came to tbo front and fought llko a
madman. But Van Hoosl llnUhed him bo-
fora tbo becond round was done. Other bouts

for iho mulch , they will not bo averse tn backIng -
Ing their representatives with the coin of the

After the wild and noisy incoberoncy of

lllco "Tho Club Friend" Is restful recreation

terpreted by so clover a company as that of
Roland Recd , who began an engagement nt
the Bovd last night ,
Mr , Rend Is it successful actor whoso work
for many years was iu the line known us low
comedy. In bis now play ho roaches u higher
level of urtlstlo effort , and it may bo fairly
said thai ho is now dividing honors with Nat
Goodwin In their particular school , Mr. Reed
still has some of bis old mannerisms , nnd It
is especially to bo hoped that ho will go out
Bomo night nnd lose the nasal twang ; but
there is u sunny , effervescent quality in his
art that atones for Haws nnd rightfully com
mands popular favor.
Miss Isiidoro Rush , who carries the loading
female role , offers au admirable conception of
a well bred , self poised woman , and her lt > -
terprotailon is quite in keeping. Her out-
rugca ulgnlly does not run Into hysterics or
mock heroics , and she turns with easy grace
to a unrsillago that bas uo suspicion of sim
per In it. It U A charming characterization.
Miss Edna Wallace Is a very pretty ingonuo
who plays her part with n wltuomo maidenly
sweetness that Is Irresistible. With but one

excellently cast , and tbJ play tolls a story
that U bound to please.
