N the history of the
national qamo there
has never bcon nn
organization which
started but with
such n car load of
reforms as the now
Western proposes
to launch upon the
world , and the most
of them , too , seem
born of the sound
est wisdom. In the
flrst pines this as
sociation has never
boon burdened with a surplus ot the article
that Is supposed to accelerate the velocity of
the female cqulno , and the signing of piny
and other expenses
ers , with Its advance money
penses , was always a thorn In her sldo. Un
fler the new order of things this source of
worrlmont U entirely done away with. The
various club managements wl'l ' have nothing
to do with this In foot they will not oven
know the name of a single player until the
whole team Is dumped like a load of coal at
Vheir doors. Tbo secretary , Mr. Jimmy
Williams , of Columbus , O. , will do the se
lecting and signing of the players , grade
their salaries , nnd classlfly thorn Into teams ,
twelve men to n team. If Jimmy gets
through the season alive , ho'll bo a very ,
very lucky individual. However , after
Jimmy accomplishes this herculean Job , the
different consignments of players
will bo turned ever to the
players committee , Messrs. Krauthoff ,
of Kansas City , II. W. Magulroof Milwaukee
nnd O. II. Schmulz of Columbus. This trio
will balunco the teams ns evenly ns possible
In Holding ana batting strength. They will
then bo numbered 1 , 2 , ! ) , 4 , 6 , 0 , 7 , and 8 , nnd
placed In a hat the numbers , not the teams
while the names of the olcht cities will bo
placed In another hat , and their fate bo do-
olden by drawing , nfter the fashion of n lot
tery. If Omaha nnd number ono are drawn
ilmultancously , then Omaha will bo awarded
loan so numbered nnd so on until all have
been disposed of. t'unny way of getting a
ball club , Isn't IU Still 1 think as far as It
roes It will provo satisfactory. Bat hero fol
lows a clause 1 do not llko. No manager can
ilgn n player under any circumstances , and
ill players hoping for an engagement must
ipplv to the secretary nlono , no ono will have
luy Influence in procuring them positions.
If hen should n team pan out unsatisfactorily ,
flor trial , or weak In any of the position ? , it
can only bo strengthened by nppllcntion to
iho players' committee , whoso functions are
irbltrary. This is a mistake the local man-
igcmout should be allowed to rcleaso any
unsatisfactory player or sign any unengaged
player they see proper , after the team has
boon awarded them , no they keep
itrlotly within the salary limit , but no buyIng -
Ing or selling should bo allowed. Another
pjirllo rule Is the ono which governs the sit
uation In case of a disabled player. In such
an event the secretary is to promptly furnish
a substitute from the reserve men under on-
pogcracnt to the association. But will ho
always bo able to furnUh his man promptly
it Is a long way from Columbus , O. , to
Omaha or Kansas City. In an emergency
case llko this , of course the tentn must rely
on ono ot Its regular , extra three men ,
whether ho Is capable of filling the special
position or not , and this must necessarily beef
of frequent occuronco. In this respect Col
umbus will have all the best of It In innumerable
erableways. . The rule la both nonsensical
and impracticable. Jlmrav Williams and his
town have no earthly right to such an cgro-
glous handicap. Another thing tbo now as
sociation hns decided on Is that nine full In
nings will nlono constitute a game. That is
all right. It docs nwny with an excuse for
delaying a game that. It mny bo stopnca by an
approaching storm or by darkness before
five inning have been played. If a game is
not finished from any cause whatsoever , it
will bo resumed the following dnyJust where
It .loft off. There will bo no chance for
mutual postponements or for playing games
on any ground but those for which they are
Bchcaulod. However , if this nlno innings a
game change is executed , tho.\Ycstorn must
adopt playing rules of her own , for the Na
tional league rules continue to recognize Jlvo
Innings as a gamo.

NEW Yoitic , Jan. 27. To the Sporting
Editor of THE SUNDAY BEE : Tom Sayers"
contest with Paulson took place at Applo-
floro , about seventy miles from London , and
not at Nottlngbamas was erroneously stated
In last week's BEB.
Not the champion
Langham , middle-weight
pion , was ono of the best left-handed boxers
and ono of the most expert Judges of tlmo
and dlstanco that ever entered the ring.
Nat was born In 1620 , consequently ho was
ilx years older than Sayors. His height was
C foot 10 , ana bis fighting weight about
cloven stone (154 ( pounds ) . Ho won bis first
tix battles , among them Sparkes , an
Australian champion , but ho mot his first
defeat when ho tackled Harry Ormo , who ,
although ever two inches shorter than Nat ,
was considerably heavier and younger , and
was a man of herculean strength. Nat , from
his superior length and science , marked
Ormo severely , nnd hit bacuors were so con
fident that ho would win that tboy laid odds
of seven to four ou him. Early In the fight
Ormo throw him a tremendous fall by the
cross buttock. Nat foil on his head and
Ormo added bis weight to the fall. Nat was
picked UD completely stunned nud all abroad.
Ho said afterwards that ho never completely
hook off the effects , but felt lll.durlug the
whoio fight. However , Nat's straight left
handers gradually nllndcd Ormo , who told
his seconds In tholOOtb round that ho would
*
fight no moro. Old Nat was too weak tc
finish him and bo became unconscious in the
117th round , tlrao nearly three hours. Nat
was severely punished about the ribs in that
contest.
Two years afterwards , In October , 1833 ,
Nat encountered Tom Saycri , the latter was
the same ago as Ormo , and his backers ordered -
derod blm to fight low nnd pound Nat about
the rlbi , doubtless thinking that what Ormo
did Sayors could do. Tom always said after
wards that U ho fought at the head Instead
of the body as ho wanted to , he would have
been the victor. There were sixty one
rounds altogether , lasting over two hours ,
during which there were not moro than
throoor four rounds which were not ended
by the crafty Nat slipping down on the sav
ing suit. Ho bad a wholesome recollection
of the mUchevlous effects of the throw o\ \
from Orme and wisely declined to wrestlt
with a fresher and stronger man than him-
elf. Nat retreated coolly and collectedly
and propped Tom severely on the nose , hit
length of reach being ol great advantage U
him. Notwithstanding tbosovoro props thil
Tom got whenever he led off , ho gamely nor-
levered and tried it on again and again , ml
was excessively weak at * omo parts of the
ficht and five to four were freely offered or
Bayers the latter bad the corner with his
face to the sun uud ho got such pepper ou tbi
nose that both oyc wore closed at the las1
and poor Toin was led out of the ring blind
Nat was described by the reporter of thi
mill as looking long and lathy and to nil ap
pcaranco Incapable of protracted exertion
Bayers was described M an Interesting con-
trait and looked broad , burly and strong
nearly tVo luches shorter than Nut , am
ihould have been seven pounds Instead o
ono pound lighter than Nat. Ho was said t
bo too fat ou that occ&sslon , being ouly 14
pound man In his previous flpbti. They wor
matched at 154 pounds , The spectators wer
ko pleased with Bayer's gatuonuo and manly
fair style of fighting thai tboy collected 5
for him on tbo train on iho return to London
A singular contrail between the late sera ]
between Slavlu and Kilrutu , whoa the latto
Rot half the purse for ROltluc Hokod I Saver
repeatedly challenged old Nat for unothe
light , but u the laUor was doing * good buil
ness In his sporting public , ho was not to bo
had and retired , but four years afterwords
he quarreled with his wlfo's uncle , Big Bon
Count , end they mot on the banks of the
Mod way and fought sixty rounds , lasting ono
hour and K hitlf and ended In a draw. Big
Bon , the ox-cbamplon , bad been keeping a
house celled the "Coach and Horses" in ht.
Martin's Lane for twelve years and was 43
years of ago. It was said that Nat bad the
bostoflt.
When Snyers defeated the Tlpton Slasher
some months previously , Tom was Imme
diately challenged by the glpantlo ox-cham
pion Count nud Tom Padnoclt. Count stated
In his challenge that "as an Englishman , In
short as Bon Count , ho could not endure the
ide.i of a mnn of Sayors' weight bolnc cham
pion of England 1" Tom replied to 1'oddoclc
that ho would accommodate him as soon as
ho could , but ho wanted to "noil Gaunt first
before ho repented of his rashness. " Old
Bon , after not beating Nat , gave Buyers up.
By the way , what has become of Pony
Moore nnd those modern Croesus that were
behind Francis Patrician Slavln with
millions ! I saw In pcint that big Frank hod
high-toned relatives In Australia who were
immensely wealthy , at least so ho was said
to have asserted ,
Some ol our modern theatrical mouth
fighters remind mo of ono of Dickens'
characters who was on M. P. , who stated before
fore ho wan elected ho was going to put down
coughing and was going to play the very
dovll In the house of commons , Whan his
constituents asked him to resign because hn
had not done what ho said ho would do nnd
was asked what he had to say for himself ,
ho replied. "I deny everything. " That Is
about the way some of our modern great
guns got out of it by flatly denying what
they said. T. C. K.
The Tliico to Hunt Coon * ,
GLEN-WOOD. la. , Jan. 25. To the Sporting
.Editorof THE BEB : Of all seasons of the
year the winter season Is perhaps the best
time to relate stories of sport and adventure.
During the long winter evenings ono can
draw their foot up to the fenders , unfold the
printed page before a bright light , and , in a
warm , cozy room , follow the sportsman to the
lakes and rivers on a fowling expedition , or
follow him with bis pack , on a log-weary
chase , over mountain , hill and valley , noting
the yelping of the curs , the tooting of the
horns , the voice of the hunters as the oxolto-
montof the chase Increases , and the echoes
of dog and master follow each other in qulok
succession along the bluffs and across the
valleys , all making grand muslo for the occa
sion. Nothing awaicons moro enthusiasm ,
nothing keener excitement. Perhaps the
raccoon affords greater amusement for the
cnaso In those .Barters than anything else ,
owlug to thnlr nocturnal habits , and the ex
citement occasioned by night hunting. The
raccoons ( procyon ) of America are closely re
lated to the boar family , inasmuch as they
apply the greater part of the solo of the foot
to the ground in walking and are omnivorous
in habits , their food consisting of corn , roots ,
acorns , gropes , haouborrics , frogs , chickens ,
ducks , turkeys , fish and houov , although
honey Is n delicacy they do not of ton foaston ,
owlug to its being hard to obtain. Their
claws are long and sharp , but not retractile :
tongue smooth , oars small and erect , tall
largo and covered with rings. They live in
hollow trees and in caves in the groundnovor
venturing out during very cold weather.
Their greatest haunts for this section of Iowa
is along the Nishnabotna river or among the
Wabagbbonsoy bills , the latter place being
" itghly favorable for them , as a thiolr growth
> f largo forest trees spread over the hills in
many places , and anyone desiring a night's
chase need not go down among the crooks
and mountains and big haclcborry trees of
Arkansas , as 1 bavo known as many as three
and four coons shot from largo haokborry
iroo here that they had climbed for berries ,
when trailed and treed by the hounds. I was
sue of a party of four who followed a pack of
hounds ono night late In the fall , returning
before daybreak , log-weary and sleepy , with
three line coons. It is a mistaken notion
many hunters have that the best time to
hunt coons is two or three hours before day
break , as I have invariably had the best suc
cess during tbo fora par ! of the night. When
once treed , and while the tree is falling , it is
a well known-trait of the raccoon to run half
way down the body of the tree , leap to the
ground before the tree strikes , and make
good its escape , while the men and dogs are
tangled in the tree top looking for the coon.
Moro than one Instance could I relate where
hey have given long chase by making exaot-
y this kind of a dodgo. When ouoe caught
the raccoon shows plenty of courage , and can
use its sharp claws and tooth to great ad
vantage oa an adversary , raaUlng greater re
sistance in the water than on terra Urmu ,
Many funny incidents and laughable conver
sations might bo told ! u connection with
chasing the raccoon ; however , let all who go
on this Kind of a cbaso leave their good
clothes at homo and take good care of their
eyes while hurrying through the tbiclcunder
brush. W. T. WOLFE.
The Sumo Old 1'rotectlon.
Colonel John I. Rogers , chairman of tbo
committee appointed by the league to formu
late a new national agreement for the protec
tion of the minor leagues , has drafted this
document. This new lawthe result of much
care and study and a week's hard labor
in the reduction to writing , is based upon
the old agreement , but is materially changed
in many important particulars in accordance
with the changed conditions in the base ball
world , and like many other creations of Col
onel Rogers' fertile brain it is an instrument
wonderfully and fearfully mado. Still , as it
is fully as good as any of tbo minor associa
tions were warranted In expecting , they will ,
of course , accept the same without scanning
it and go forth about their business under the
belief that tboy are protected. As THE BEE
has already published In its telegraph col
umns a resume of this now agreement , no
attempt will bo made here to wade analyti
cally through the mass of rubbish. Abso
lute control is assured tbo National league ,
that is a fact that stands out as conspicuous
as the nose on a man's faco. The agreement
Is an alleged tripartite , the first part , which
constitulos tbo whole , b.olng tbo National
league ; the second party being "such eligible
professional associations as shall , with the
assent of the national board , become signa
tory parties and admitted to class A. " The
third party will bo such similar professionals
as shall bo admitted to class B. Class A is
meant to include tbo larger leagues like the
proposed Eastern and Western leagues.
Class B Includes all others.
The Western association will bo allowed to
contract with Its players for ono.two or three
years , with tbo right of reservation where
said contracts are ( or ono season , but when
ever the league sees a player she would llko
to bavo.sbu can take him on payment of $750 ,
that is of course at the end of the season.
For this protection every one of tbo clubs
muit pay 200 per annum. To offset this the
Western association will bo allowed to seize
any player aho may take a fancy to , whom
she finds play Ing'with tho. High school or
city leagues on payment of $375 to the club
with whom the player Is signed , and whloh
club must pay one-half of this to tbo National
league. This is not literally the wording of
the colonel's agreement , but it is about
what it amounts to and more Idiotic and un
just compact between corporations was never
dreamed of. However , It won't go , any
organization who would accept the same de
serves total failure , and' the quicker this
couies the bettor. Colonel Rogers wants td
go soak bis head.
Stared lu the I'nce by Work.
Tbo base ball enthusiast who Is anywise
apprehensive that the now Western associa
tion will bo unable to put up its usual strong
game next season , needs only to bo reminded
that tbero are today about 350 unsigned play
ers on the market , and nearly ono-llfth of
them are fully up to tbo standard of tbo big
organization , Tbo Western has a chance for
stronger teams than over , for such a thing a *
au enlarged craulum is unknown these days ,
and most of the idle men are willing to accept
copt engagements at almost any salary ,

* IMiUtsmcmtli Tulk * Somo.
This city U taking great Interest In the
proposed state base ball league , but , while
many are lu favor of It , the majority of the
citizens are opposed to having the city repre
sented , preferring to have n strong Indo-
dcndont club. Last season the L'latlsmouth
team wai the crack club of the state and
made for thu city aud themselves n nnmo
to bo proud of , barring the wild nud woolly
trip to the Blnok Hills. This year the city
intends to have nn even bettor team than
last , nnd with the four or llvo good , strong
local players ns a nucleus n rattling good
team ought to bo organized. The local
"prldoV nro Tom nnd Sam 1'iutorson ,
Churloy A. Mlllor , Al 1'crrlno nnd Johnny
Schulhoff. Those players were on the toum
last year and nearly every baseball crnuk in
the state knows them. They can nil play
ball from start to finish. Tom Patterson
plays short stop , and ho Is considered as
good as the best. Ho did somn very clover
nnd offootlvo work last year nnd was exceed
ingly handy with the "willow. " Ho has
played ball in this city over slnco ho was big
enough to walk nnd has bcon successively
S'nyor , captain nnd manager of the locals ,
o Is a strong bailer nnd can usually bo
counted on to bit the ball when runs nro
needed. Sam Patterson won distinction
last season as a heavy nnd auro batter.
To his timely and lerrltlo slugging
can bo traced about six or eight splendid
victories. Ho , too , has had a long experience
on the diamond and captained last year's
team. Ho Is a line all-around player and Is
equally at homo In Jthe field as In the pitch
er's box. "Whltoy" Mlllor is ono of the belt
known amateurs in the state. Ho Is n great
base-runner and is a great boy to wait 'om
out. To got to first is equivalent to a run
with "Whltoy. " Al. Perriuo is , at pro ont
firing on the B. & M. , but Is oiling his mus-
olos preparatory to the oponlng of the season.
Ho cnmo here from Mount Pleasant , la. , last
year and Joined the locals as a pitcher. Ho
is a very fast and offoctlvo pitcher and can
send the sphere across the plato as quick as
greased llghtulug. Johnny Schulhoff U ex
ceedingly handy with the stick. Is counted n
safo"hlt"aud every fly that comes near him in
center field sticks to him as if ho were made
of molasses.
While this city Is a pretty fair ball town ,
the general sentiment is that It cannot Itoop
up a league team unless some moans of keep-
in c the salary limit down can bo reached. If
the latter can bo arranged , Plattsmouth can
hold out with the best of them , but It the
other towns in the state ralso the ante , this
city will have to drop out. It Is the prevail
ing opinion among the cranks that a oonvon-
, tion should bo held aud an effort made to
arrive at an understanding , either to sot tbo
league going or to abandon the idea. Omaha ,
Fremont or Lincoln are talked of most
favorably as good cltios in which to hold a
convention.
Omaha nnd the Crow.
There Is probably no city in the United
States where the common wild orow ( Corvus
Amoricanus ) makes himself as much at homo
as In Omaha. Hero they are as common al
most as English sparrows or tame pigeons ,
and ovlncoabout as llttlo fear of man. All
through the winter months , especially when
the ground is covered with show , this beauti
ful nnd intelligent , but very ) mischievous
bird , is a common sight on our by-streets and
lanes , and often in the very door-yards in the
center of the city. They seem absolutely
without fear of man or boy , and when busily
engaged in the enjoyment of a meal can bo approached
preached within a few yards before tfloy will
lake wing. This is all very s trance to neoplo
who have lived In the eastern states , whore
the crow Is considered the shyest and mosi
wary of all wild birds. The farmers' boy
who succeeds in crawling within gunshot of
a crow back in Ohio , Pennsylvania or Now
Yorlc , accomplishes a feat that ho
may well be proud of , but hero any
kid with a "nigger-killer" or flobori
ride can pnp away at them as , if they
were so many barn yard fowls. This domes
ticity of the crow , as he is known In this
particular region , U a nut for the ornitholo
gist to crock. Wo do know , though'that they
congregate bore in the winter season in
countless numbers , and frequent the streets
of the city with the impunity of the buzzard
in Charleston and Savannah , or the common
tame pigeon In all northern cities. They are
good scavengers and deserve ilgid protection. '
In olden days the crow was suoposcd to bo
granivorous and was the least beloved of all
our native birds , but in those days of modern
research and scloutifio investigation , the
crow , like the devil , Is known not to bo
nearly so black as ho la painted , and almost
everywhere something like n just sentiment
prevails. This has bean brought about by a
thorough study of the diet and habits of the
bird , and Instead of being wholly or largely
graulvorous , they are rather insectivorous ,
and the amount of insect-larvae they destroy
oounterbalanccs more tuan a hundred-fold
their destruction in the grain field. This fact
alone is sufficient to warrant their protection
instead of the old tlmo persecution. Strictly
speaking , while an extremely cleanly bird ,
the crow Is omnivorous , and ho will eat or
attempt to oat a railroad splk'o or old door
knob with the same avidity that would mark
his attack on a marsh mallow drop or hard
boiled egg. Ho is a splendid scavenger , as
was remarked before , and picks up and does
away with many a scrap of noxious offal ,
which otherwise might bo loft to taint the
air and breed disease. Hut the crow is an
Interesting study at any and all times. A
bird of wonderful intelligence , and barring
his tendency to petit larceny , makes a most
ontortalnlnp put. Some authorities even as
sort that they may bo taught , like the parrot ,
to talk. They are very tenacious to
life , and there Is an old male
bird in tbo London zoo today said
to bo ever 100 years old. Just now they are
at their thickest la and about Omaha , and
great flocks can bo seen every morning and
evening llylug ever the city. In the ovonlng
their line of light Is from the south and
southwest and they pass over by thousands
to the north and northeast ; la the morning
tbov traverse the snrao flight back ocaln.
For years and years the birds have roosted
In iho forest of low willows east nnd north
of Cut-Off Island , and when the sable hosts
are "congregating tbltbor in the shades of
evening , the spectacle Is a wonderful one.
Omaba's escutcheon would certainly bo in
complete without tbo graven Imago of iho
cunning and industrious crow upon It ,
A Good Holiday
Tbo pooling of the receipts of all holiday
gamoi played by the Western association tbo
coming season is certainly an excellent idoa.
This gives every club in the association an
equal show , as each will got its eighth
whether It plays on Its holiday date or not
For Instance , If tbo Fourth of July game is
prevented in Omaha by rain , wet grounds or
for any other cause , and the' other cities
play their games , Omaha will got her eighth
of tbo receipts , minus tbo 10 per sent that is
to be covered into tbo general fund put of tbo
receipts of every gamo. Consequently , there
will bo but little dissatisfaction oacasionod
by reason of scheduling certain cities with
each other on these holiday dates. Of courjo
each city will want the best drawing card
whenever aho can get it , but as long as this
will cut no figure as to her revenue for such
dates , any disappointment in this particular
will bo but evanescent. A good crowd on
holidays is a foregone conclusion , let the
teams bo pitted against each other as they
may ,
It I'romlics to Ho u Succos * .
The prospects for the state's championship
eight-Inch > balk line billiard tournament ,
which opens at Konlston'a rooms oa the
evening of the I5tb , are growing brighter
and brighter. Manager Suldcn is lu recolp
of numerous letters of inquiry from different
parts of the state , which leads blm to tbo
conclusion that the entries from abroad wll
bo very satisfactory , Tbo principal reason
the Brunswick-Balke-Colleador company ha
for giving tba tournament ia the hope that a
renewed Intercut in the game may be awak
ened. Tbo cue , which , along with 50 in
cash , goes to the winner , is an elegant affair

James A/ Hart , president of the Chicago

f the Cleveland fclnb , and John T. Brush ,
president of thu Cincinnati club , have sat
own hard on Colonel Rogers nnd his horlo-
qulnado , the so-ealloxl now national agree-

est against Its adaption. They do not bo-
levo lu qharglnp minor leagues an exorbitant
utn for alleged protection , nnd are also op
posed to allowing the big league to take
ilavors from subordinate organizations dur-
ug the playing season.
The llano Hull Situation ,
Thcro has boon no now developments In
ho local base boll situation during the past
vook , but is moro than probable that the

uatlou , and until they do arrlvo there is
nothing In the shape of information to give

horse of another color.
Count on Norfolk.
NonroLit. Nob. , Jan. 24. To the Sporting
Sdltor of TUB BEE : If n mooting is called
or the formation of a state league Norfolk
vill bo represented , and may bo counted on
as a sure member. I would' suggest that a
mooting bo called as early In February as
ossiblo , as there Is lots of preliminary work
ccossnry in all the cities who contemplate
omlng In. I firmly bollovo a state league
ould bo made a success. I would favor a
lx-club league and the porcontugo system.
Norfolk would bo a convenient place for the
proposed mooting. W. A. LOCKWOOU.
After the Oiimo Dealers.
The Omaha Gun club has booh after the
ommission dealers with a sharp stick , but
o far has failed to make a case on any of

of Moore , ho said die wouldn't wrestle , but
he would light ino.mu I told him I was agree-
ablu ; that I'd takeitbancos in a go with blm.
So tbo match wftssmado for $200 a sldo , and
as they wanted to make it for $500 , tboy
must bavo a sura > thing. As to my being
with "Farmer" Bums , I am not , and I bad
not mot him until I made the match with
Mooro. Again , oa the night of the contest I
will not weigh ever 100 pounds , and I am
sure Moore won't ' ! bo much lighter. If any ,
So there will bo no advantage In weight. It
any nvont , I will liaon hand and In the bosl
condition possible for me to get In and will
make the St. Paul man fight to win.

vlth him several months ago. I can
not but bollovo , however , if it is on the
quaro , that bis match with Jack Kelloy-Col-

The man of many names is a bona fide

The slx-dav riding at the Coliseum took Its
final drop this wook. It was advertised as a
big fake and was anything but a big success.
It was quite a surprise to see a lot of pure

without advertising It as a fake. It will un
