The foot hall scison has opened In earnest
nnd on every college end hlflli school campus
nro to ho seen dally the men at work training
liard under the direction of the captains and
coaches. It Is the Intention of the writer
to give In this article anil In ono next Sunday
to tlio uninitiated a general outline of the
game as It Is prepared for nnd played by the
varloun colltgo teams , Tlrst the men are put
through considerable preliminary work , such
as kicking , falling on tbo ball , tackling , glow
country runs nnd some setting up exercises.
After the candidates ha\o hid their wind
put In ohapo and their muscles conditioned
they are divided Into two teams and Iho work
of each man crretully watched by the cap
tain and the coach , The captain cannot
glvo nearly as much tlmo to watching the
men as the coach , because ho Is a player
and must practice lilnuclf. Gradually the
men are sifted out , the most prominent
placed on ono team , the " 'varsity , " and the
others on the "ocrub. " No man Is euro of
Ills po&ltlon , however , and many are changed
several tliiits from "scrub" ' " "
lo "varsity , and
back. After the best of the players are put
on the two teams the work of teaching them
I I team Jiinueinc.'a and playa begins. The men
then meet the captain and coach oft the field ,
generally In thu oveniug , and a class In foot
ball is formed. The men are given the
plays , Illustrated on a blackboard or chcckor-
boird , each man Inilructcd as to hla position
all thro.iif',11 tin- play , the signal for thu play
is gt\cn them and a now play la taught. This
class Is kept up all through the season , for
many valuable plays are picked up from op
ponents , changed slightly and iwed. Also
after evvry game there are fjult ? to correct
and further lustiuitlous to bo given Ttic suc
cessful foot bull pHyer galnu more
di-clpllno from the game than Is apparent
His mental faculties arc trained to the
highest point Ills tucmoiy must bo perfect
Ills stock of patience unlimited. Ho must
have perfect self-control at all times. Ills
mind must bo able to grasp a point Instantly
and execute It as quickly Ho la taught self-
rcilancc and foibeauincc. His stock of
Vhyslclal courage Is largely Increased He
must ivcver falt.ur foi an Instant and must
over be ready * o seize any advantage
The team IB divided into seven foi wards
end four bick3. Their mimes are right end ,
right tackle , right guard , centci left
guard , left tackle , left en 1 , quarterback ,
right halfback , left halfback and fullbick
The duties of each are varied , but dovetail
into rack other in such a manner that thu
failure of one to perform his pait pioperly
would spoil Iho pjay of all the othero , hence
it becomes ueci-ssary lot nach man to bo
trained In his Individual v\ork that It may bo
lu harmony \\lili \ the work of the whole team
The c'Mitir occupies a unique position on
the eleve.f lu tint h starts the play after
each down and Is the only mail on the team
that cannot run.vlth . the ball , because the
ball mubt bo touched ba third party before -
fore It Is In play He his to protect Iho
quarterback until ha has passed the ball tea
a third pat' } so that It Is hard for him to
got Into Hie Inte.'tcrcnco. It has always been
the custom .n tlmta past to select the
heaviest mail for center. The Ideal cenUr
IH a matt Uoout l')0 ) to 200 pounds , a fair
runner , /eiy solid on his feet , for he has to
stand my amojivt of Jostling , a quick
thinker , possessing great endurance and
physical ( .outage. He is tbo llrst to start
the fight Mil \ftcn the last out of it.
Tha maiif wojJc of the guards may be
onmmcd up as blocking , that Is guarding ,
making openings for the passage of the
runner whenever certain signals are given ,
itinr.lug behind the line to Interfere for the
man with the ball , running with the ball
occasionally , breaking through the opposing
line to interfere with the quarterback In
passing the ball aud tackling the runner or
stopping a kick.
The guard and the center have the most
laborious work on Hie eleven if they do
their duty , for they practically have no
respl j fiom hard work. As the center haste
to snJp the ball to the qt'aiter. the guard ,
who stando next to him on
cither side , must not only take care
of the man opp-slte him. but must assist
the center by taking part of the attack of
the opposing center on themselves. They
jnust bear the brunt of the heavy plunging
of their opponents throuch the center , and
nt the simo time struggle to bre.ik thrugh
the opposing line , which Is doing Its utmost
to pi event them. They must be always on
fo.xnd the mlnttto the ball Is down to make-or
pi event a quick pHy. They have much of
the hard work and llttlo chance to dis
tinguish themsolvc. ? cither by n run or
tacklo. On the other hand , if they yield
much in the center , it is apparent from
the side lines.
On account of the nature of their work ,
the guards should be largo , powerful men ,
Ilko the center. They should bo quick ,
active nnJ Hwlft , for thu guards should al
ways go through the line for a tackle when
tlio opponents have the ball ; for the chief
point In defensive play Is to tackle the run
ner before hn reaches the line , and the
guards are large fastors Id doing this. All the
tricks Ki v\n in wri-ntllng should bo at
their commnnd When the guard canlcs
the ball ho hns the mint illtllcult position on
tlio field to Btart from * 'o Ins to block
hla man whllo the q..artor ucelvoa the
ball , then tuin and inn by the quarter ,
taking the ball as ho passes him , and then
plnngo Irto the line or run on an-und the
end as thn play nny bo , moro often It Is
through Xho line , ea the guard Is a heavy

Ing.U is only recently that the t-ickle has hail
any distinctive vvnilc of his own to perform
i Kor yeats ho wns used to fill up the Hue
nnd assist guard ml end Now his Is one of
the mo't liw't-mt positions In the forward
line ; some bold that It Is the most Im
portant It Is po'slblo to get along with
tlow guards and renter If they are nblo to
block , but it is not possible to have a slow
tackle if ] ptav good foot ball. Ho occupies
this ropponslblo position bcoausp he assists
In checking two distinctly different ntyles of
play. On the sldn toward tbo cnntor he Is
nblo to help tba guard In blocking the heavy

point of the line , whllo on the other he haste
to work with tl.n end uish against all plays
Between tthem and on all play * around the
ond. To play thin position iropcily on the.
defensive rcqulies a master mind and great
physical capacity and skill uncqtmlcd by ap
position on the eleven. Next to the half-
buck , ho has the best position ol any for
running with the ball : ho can ho used for
restiug tlio halves , both In bucking the line
and going around the end.
The tackle idioiild weigh about 165 pounds ,
five feet six to flvo feet eight , stocky built.
Tlio nemo Indicates laigely the position he

lov , heavy-set man Is at a great advantage ,
as he- can throw hln.Dolf directly at the

ordinary shrewdnrst and judgment ; to a cer

two men playing In front of him , but ho
tnust hold' them both. If tbo play be
through thi > line near htm he must throw
1'ls man to one iIJo or the other and help
make the hole for the halfback to B"

on the defensive ho must break through the

the team. He takes part In every play
when his side has the ball , and Ii sup
posed to break up every play made by the

The University of Nebraska foot ball team
Is all organised and at work , an Conch Hob-
Ineon IIRB returned The breach with Iowa1'
has been healed and the usual Thinknglvlng 1
day game will bo played but the place has'
not as yet been fixed upon. Kouliuion , the !
Nebraska coach , Is a Drown university man
and Kansas , Iowa nnd Missouri each have n I
man from the University of Pennsylvania , I
They alt evidently admlro the 1'cnnsylvnnla I
style of play but the Nebraska boyn Ilko thn
old style well enough and think they will
not Indulge In the famous guaids-bick style
of fighting. Wagcnhurst of Pennsylvania
will coach Iowa , Whnrton of Pennsylvania
will coach .Missouri , whllo Kansas has se
cured the services of Woodruff. All thcso
men are strong line men , but they probably
also know something about the way the
backs should play. Nebraska has Benedict ,
Pcarse , Wiggins , Shedd , Hanscn , Turner and
Cowglll of the old team , and also has con
siderable now material to pick from. Doano
will not put a team lit the field this season ,
as she has not enough largo men to organt/c
one that could make a snowing commensur
ate with her past record. Wcslcyan will
have many of her old men back , besides
several now men who have made records
on other teams , and has secured the services
of C. L Thomas of this city as coach. Tarklo ,
Mo. will also have her Usual excellent team
nnd expects to make a swath through No-
brask-x after scalps. Airics boa her big men
with her again and will bo after the cham
pionship of Iowa ngaln this year. The
University club will also put out a team
and nny old players or men who wish for n
llttlo cxcrclso should drop a line to frank
Crawford , who will manage the team. Ne
braska plays at Ames October 3 , at Clrlnnell
October 11 , with Missouri at Lincoln October
30 , with Kansas at Lincoln November 15 ,
and with Iowa at Omaha Thanksgiving day.
The Omaha High School team lo making
rapid headway under the efficient mentorshlp
of Prof. Dernstcln and Captain Thomas , and
the aim Is to coach them up to a form that
will provo too much for the utocky High
school boys from over the rivei. There Is
an intense rivalry between thu two schools
and their llrst collision this year will bo
fraught with great excitement.
The University ot Kansas foot ball tcnm Is
In hard practice for the llrst real game of
the season to be played with the University
Medical college team at Kansas City ,
Wcdnccday morning , October C , at 10 o'clock ,
says the Kansas City Star. Saturday the
team lined up on McOook field with the
Haskell Indians for two fifteen minute halves
and succeeded In scoring a touchdown each
half The play throughout wad fast and
snappy , with no unnecessary delaya , and
proved that Coach Wordruff Is going to have
a team this soison tnat will be very fast on
Its feet The Kansas lineup Saturday was ns
followsW. . Sherman , center ; A. Mosse ,
light guard ; N. Poster , left guard , ti. Smith ,
light tackle ; F Sanderson and L Hlockber-
ger , left tackle ; W Games and T Fry ,
rlghtcm ! , i : . Volgts , leftend ; II Kennedy ,
quarter back and captain ; N , Poorman , right
half back ; H How and M. Teas , left half
back , F Speak , full back.
The Karsans are making great advance
ment ! n the system of the famous Pennsyl
vania offense and defense , and when they
meet the Medics they should give a good ac
count of themselves.
The most promising men are L Parrell ,
20r pounds , who Is as fast on his feet as
iny sprinter In the country , and with his
enormous I'mo ' bucking ho will be a great
llgure In the coming season Hob llandon
is bis mate in all things and is ono of the
finest tacklcrs In the west. The acquisition
of these men has placed Kansas on a stand-
lug far ahnvo her supposed position. Nato
Foster's work showed him a player of the
first class and Simlcrson is a man well fitted
to his position at tackle. Ho runs hard with
the ball and shows great strength at defen
sive work. Walker and Kennedy may not
be able to pity again this year , as they have
both sustained Injuiies to their ankles which.
If not serious , at least for the tlmo aggravat
ing. Their loss will bo felt badly , as they
nro old players , and Kennedy is captain.
Both men vveio Injured while off the field ,
which shows the inconsistency of the claim
of the toughness of the game.
The Omaha High school team played Its
second game of foot ball this season with the
Crescents at the University h.ounds Thurs
day afternoon and won by the score of 6-0
At n bus'ncss meeting last night Lester
Hutchlnson was selected by the team as
regular captain for the season. Mr. Hutch
ison has been playing substitute on the
Omaha High School team for two or three
years This year ho will be seen on right
end He U an all-round man , of good height
and build , and a sure tackle. The team H
by no mentis settled for Its final games , ai
there aie changes taking place all the time.
There Is a great deal moro Interest taken In
the game this year , as M the years before
the number of men has been so few that
there would be no competition for positions
on the team. There are something like forty-
two rne-n out at practice every day. which
makes a greal deal of rivalry between the
players to see who will bo one of the eleven
"
men chosen. "
Among the games to bo played this year
will bo those with the Fremont , Blair , Lin-
culn , Council Bluffs , Tabor Onawa nnd a few
other towns In thla and adjoining states. The
game with Tabor Is the only ono definitely
arranged. This game will be played In Tabor
on the 21rd of October This Is the same
team the Otnnhas beat two years ago and the
boys' only dealro Is that they may repeat the
dose Among the men to pick from for tlui
final tram arc the following : Johnnie Scott ,
n now man who has Just entered the school
lately fiom the Lincoln team Ho will
stimigthcn the team In the place that prom
ised to bo weakest , right half Ho Is a very
fast man , having a , record of 10'4 for 100
yaids , and Is a mire tackle. Tracy , at half
back , Is small in size but a ground gainer
equal to Oar ill ) or in his old High school days
West , at full back , a new man at the posi
tion , Ls playing A bard ganie.but Is weak In
backing. SpaKord.at quarter back , Is playIng -
Ing well but Is being pushed by Martin
for thu position. Ho is very light hut a good
quarter back , luwlng but few fumbles so
far this year Stokoa , at center. Is a man of
weight , Is only five feet eight Inches In
height , but weighs 192 pounds , n brother to
the old school player. Tradcnburg , at guard ,
In a fine man. He breaks through the line
like an old veteran Nelson , the other guard
Is an old High school player , having played
substitute for two years. Everts Is playing
right tackle and though very light Is a good
man at the position. Cortclyou , nt left tackle.
Is In the game from beginning to the end
Thomas , playing left end , Is a now man at
that position , having always played back of
tlio line. Hutchlnson , captain and right end ,
Is the all round player of the team having
good judgment In the selection of plays.
Morse Is not playing In the first team now ,
but may yet push some one for a position
Hughe * IB a very heavy man apt ! should
mike the learn later on in the season. Mar
tin , captain of the second team , Is playing
quarter back cud may get on the first team
ere man > days go by , Dickinson , a certain
man at tackling , has not received a position
yet. Kvory afternoon from twenty to thirty
hoys are lined up against the ( list team , but
as yet have made but little headway at best'
Ing It.
The championship rac < ; in the National
league came to n close yesterday afternoon ,
hut so Mr as the flag Is concerned that had al-
ri'ady been won , Boston carried off the
co.eted ttpphy on Thuisd.iy last whim shi
defeated Brooklyn and when 1'iiltlmore foi
down bnforu the Senators , The rJcc bus been
a remarkable one , Inact ono of tbo mont
Interesting in the history of tlrii grand oh
body. The victory of tbo Bcaneaters In amore
moro notable ono than Is ordinarily suspected
On May 1 she was In the last Iiolo with one
victory and six defeats , while Baltimore was
tied with Philadelphia for first place , will
seven victories and ona defeat. The middle
of May saw Baltimore In frout with fourteen
vlctorle * and three defeats , while Boston was
In sixth place with eight victories and eight
defeats. June 1 the Champions were still
ttlioid , with twenty-two victories and eight
defoiti the Dostong fourth with seventeen
victories nnd twelve defeats. July 1 it was
still Baltimore , thirty victories anil nine de-
fcali ; Boston second , twcnty-ulne victories ,
twelve defeat * . Then th battle b an in
good earnoit , each club playing tbe best ball
In Its power and watching lt r l warily. |
On Juno 17 , for the flr t time In the neason ,
Iho I Bostons succeeded In tlolng their utroni ?
opponents i In victories , each being credited
that I day with thirty-two , Boston having lost |
thrco ' moro games than the Champions. On
Juno 21 Boston went nhcad ot the Baltl-
more * In victories for Iho first time having
thirty-four to thirty-three. Baltimore lied

of ono defeat In favor of Boston. Juno 23
Boston again cssumcd tbo lead , ono victory

tons and sixteen points ahead of the Cham
pions. July 29 Baltimore succeeded In re
claiming second place from Cincinnati.
August 1 Boston was thirty-three points

September 4 Boston led by two points , and
on the Cth tlio Champions wcro ahead by
seven points Since that time they retained
ho lead up to last Monday , when they
est , but regained It again Tuesday , only to
ese It Wednesday , and for good. Truly
t has been n magnificent combat nnd great
ntercflt In the outcome was manifested In
Omaha , as well as the country over.
There Is but little doubt now but what
Hddlo iBald will provo himself champion of
the bicycle racing path for 1898. The most
.Igorous jostling the tables which decide this
mnor In the National circuit received was
: hat of a week ngo. Nearly every man In
: ho list lost In percentage except Bald , who ,
Instead made a very material gain. Ho has
passed the 200 mark In the defeat of men
anil has been only defeated by thirty-one
men the whole season. Bald has added four
firsts to his winnings the past week , nil won
at Springfield , next to the national meet the
most Important meet of the year Bald made
a rlcan sweep at Springfield and defeated all
the cracks with thf > exception of Karl Klscr ,
who did not nttcnd the meet on account of
the small prbes for the short distance races
Klser says that he will not ride at a large
moot where small prlrcs are given. 1'ddle
Bald won the third-mile championship at
Springfield , the first championship that he
has von for two years U seems stiange
but it Is a fact , that Bald for the past two
seasons has seldom mndo a good showing at
any of the largo meets Last season Bald
could do nothing nt Louisville and went
homo without winning a medal. The Louis
ville meet was the most important meet of
the year , and Bald was defeated on all sides
At the national meet thla season at Phila
delphia , Bald , who had been riding like a
cyclone the week previous and who was
predicted by all to make a clean sweep at
the national meet held in Philadelphia , did
not so much as win a race In thf two days'
meet and could do no better than get sicond
places.
All of the bicycle fans are ngog over the
six-days' rate that starts on the Chailts
Street park track at S 30 tomorrow evening. It
will bo the last slx-nlght affair of the tusson
and the closing event of any Importance.
Itldois will bo here from all parts of the
west anil a big Held Is sure to start. It Is
an Invitation professional race , and will
continue one hour each evening , except one ,
of the week. The off evening , on vvhIUi
the riders will rest up for1 the supreme and
final effoit , will be announced later. It Is
the Idea of Manager Morgan , who has had
fine succes.4 In the conduct of these affairs ,
to have . the finish of the race
ridden Monday evening , October 11 ,
In order that those who are com
pelled to work Saturday evening may have
an opportunity to witness the tlnlsh. U\-
prcsslons of approval on all sides evince the
favor with which this Innovation has > been
received , and the final night will probably
ace a Jam of people on hand to witness the
close. The fact that It Is an Invitation
race makes It certain that only the best
nnd speediest racers will entei , and thus
the opportunity to judge ot the respective
abilities of our best local men will bo
afforded. The interest In the rivalry be
tween such men as PKley , Fredrlckson ,
Gadke MoCall and the Hall boys la intense
nnd their followers will bo on hand each
night to "root" for and encourage them.
Oudklik. Sagcr and McPhcrson of Denver
will bo in the thick of the push , while Ash-
ton of Sioux City and Barnett of Lincoln
will also hustle for the coin. It Is not
known yet whether Melrsleln will risk his
rep by going against this formidable field or
not. If ho docs , Plx , Tredrlckson and Mc-
Call say they will run away from him.
There will bo five moneys In the race and
the < vntei.tants must go 130 miles or more
during the six nights before they can hope
to get a piece of any of the pilzes. This re
quirement means that the riders must
travel In the vicinity of twenty-two miles
an hour to be In on the take off. and thus
a rattllnfi hard chase from start to finish Is
assured. As the start will bo unusually In
teresting preparations have been made for
a big crowd tomorow night , the opening
night.
John n. Gentry and nobort J succeeded
in lowering the double team record the other
day , but by so small a margin that H leaves
but little to crow over. The old record was
2 09' ' , but the Towksbury pair i educed this
to 2 03 flat. Five thousand looked on at the
trial and eemoil to bo well pleased at the
result Had the weather , which was dis
agreeably soggy , been favorable it Is quite
probable that a moro respectable slice would
have been cut off the record The wind
came down the homestretch from the noith
and made record breaking n rather difficult
task. The pair will bo sent again some time
this month , nnd the expectation la that the
mark will bo reduced to a point between
2.03 and 2.07.
H seems astonishing , but la nevertheless
true , there are Ilfty-slx horses In this coun
try that have paced better than 208 , The
great Star Pointer , wha , together with Joe
Patchen , will race at the fair grounds next
Friday , heads the list of course There are
four pacers who rank above the best trot
ters while a fifth , Frank Agan , UPS the
trotting rccoid , that of Allx , 2-03i. Dur
ing the past two weeks Hoan Wilkes has
made a decided gain in position , and his i
rorord of 2.05V4 , nvado at Hlgby park on I '
Thursday , makes him the equal of Cole
ridge , the seventeenth on the list. Ten-
ncsseo figures largely In the production of
Jast pacers , and four bred In that state
llgilro In the lUt , but that is far behind
Kentucky , which has eleven , and the Hal
family , upon which Tennessee relies en
tirely , is not In it with the descendants of
George Wilkes. Pennsylvania is credited
with Uobert J. . 2.01 % , bred by H , J. C.
Walker of WllUamsport , and Antonln ,
2.07' , bred by Powell brothers of Shade-
land. H. P. Pointer bred Star Pointer and
Hal Pointer , B. G. Stoner bred Uubcnstcln
and Bumps , Campbell iBrown bred Hal Dll-
lard and Hal Braden , and from Village
farm came Bright Hegent and Helr-ut-Law ,
Two women are credited with having bred
pacer * on tbo list , Mrs. Emily D. Conklyn
of Mecbanlcsburg , O. , having bred Be Sure ,
2.00 % , and Mrs , Robert Hotchklss of Hoch-
estcr , Minn. , bred Badge , 2.00V4-
It was just ono year ago last Saturday , .
says tbo Chicago Horseman , Uiat Star I
Pointer beat Uobert J. at Mystic park. Bos.
ton , establishing the pacing record for
three beats at 2.03W , 2.02'/4 , 2.03 % . That
was on Saturday , September 17. 1S96. One
year from that date Star Pointer reduced
the race record to 2.01 and concluded the
race In which the three-beat record was
again lowered , the time being 2,04 % , 2:03 : ,
3 01 , average 2:02 : 11-12. This is the only
race ever paced in which the average has
been placed under S.03. Star Pointer now | I
holds ( ho world's pacing record , 1-D9V1 : the J I i
world's race record. 201 ; the fastest three-
heat race record , three In five. 2-03H. 2 0214 , | !
2.03 % : the fastest three teat record , two
In three , 2'.OI % > 2:03 : , 201 ; ( second heat won
by JOB Patchen ) ; tbo fastest third beat
record , 2.01 , and various track record * too
numerous to mention. Vorlly , ho Is a
grc t horse , but the tlmo of tbo last heat
In the Indianapolis race , taken with the
fact that Patclicn won the second hont on
rrlduy In 2 03 , Indicates that ho In not
done with the black stallion , and so mo
day when Joe can hour his feet ruttlo on the
truck there may bo A repetition ot the
scenes at Waterloo. The time of Pointer's
heat In 2-01 was by quarters , 29H , 1 00 ,
1-30 , 2-01.
There In some talk of a match race between
Hamburg and Malvollo , the western crack
2-ycar-old Mr Marklcln , the owner of Mat-
vollo , Is willing to run his horse agnlnst
MadiVn's colt and carry 100 poundi to Ham
burg's 120 In the first place there Is no ren-
son why there ehould bo any difference In
weight. Secondly , Hambiirg lias been out

American norscs In England are rutting
quite a figure In the betting on the big handi
caps to be run this fall. It seems rather odd
to Americans that such cattle as Kconan ,
St Cloud II , Dlakka and Sandla should bo
ghon any serious consideration , especially
when pitted against such a grand thorough
bred as Galtce Moro Is said to be. If St.
Cloud II , Dlakka , Keenan and Sandla arc
corsldoied good horses ns compared with the
inU'h thoroughbiids , then the latter typo
of ho.se must have gone back or else this
Is an off year. If any of the above nam d

The International ches $ toiirnament now-
being held at Berlin is attracting a great
deal of attention , probably on account of
the fact that It Is the only "event of Im
portance which will take place during the
winter. The absence of many of the leadIng -
Ing American players Is1 n decided draw
back to the success of the meeting. H Is
difficult at this time to p'redlct ' the winner
of the first prl/e , but th6 chances are In
favor of the English player , Blackburne ,

George Dlxon and Solly Smith meet In
Woodward's pavilion , San Francisco , to
morrow night , and the 'wholo sporting
fraternity out there Is on the tlptoo of de
lightful expectation. Dlxon and Smith are
bom fighters and unquestionably the leaders
of the class they represent. The betting Is
already on and both men are being heavily-
backed. The clean cut win Solly made over
Johnny Griffin recently has Imbued many of
the redhots out there that he has better
than an even chance with the little coffee
colored Hallgonlan. It should be remcm-
bered , however , that California la Smith's
homo and that has got about as much to do
with the sentiment out there as his victory
over II. iB ( has been ) Johnny Grlfiln. ( But
the paitlsan dead games are not scaring the
champion's followers ono whit by their
pounding of brass and blowing of bellows ,
for the wise guys all know of Georgia
wondciful cleverness and what a pud It Is for
htm to dodge such human tornadoes as the
Los Angolan. They recollect what Dlx
did to Sol at Coney Island at close range and
they have a most wholesome respect and a
most ardent affection for that short right-
mitt cross of hla , that nwful smash that has
sent many n gam3 llttlo to low on an oxplor ng
trip Into dreamland That the fight will bo
a hummer no ono who knows anything about
the game doubts for a moment. As a rule
fights between llttlo fellows do not excite
ring patrons overmuch , but In the present
Irstanco It Is ndmltted on every sldo that the
contestants are far and nway the best Tn
their class , and as the fight will ho a/vorld'n
championship affair as much attention Is
attracted to the go as If the boxers were
prominent heavyweights Dlxon has gene
through the most careful preparation nnd Is
reported in beautiful shapo. Ho Is at all I
times a conscientious worker and In the
piesent instance ho has trained possibly
with moro earn than ever Ho freely admits
that Solly Is as dangerous a customer as can
bo encountered In a day's inarch , and as the
brown boy has had one' experience with
Smith already ho should surely bo competent
to judge Smith has also trained with un
usual scrupulousness. The ambition of his
life is to turn the tables on the lad who
downed him at the Coney Island Athletic
club four years ago , and such being his
state of mind his friends consider It un
necessary to tender him any advice In regard
to the necessity for a thorough preparation.
I have * een both men fight repeatedly and
know them well , and so far as picking the
winner is concerned , I prefer to leave that
to those who feel themselves competent to
the task.
In conformation Dlxon resembles a grey
hound In many respects , Ho has a small
lean held , a neck that la not particularly
robust , but at the same tlmo a round barrel
and prominent chest , which Indicate plenty
cf lung and heart room. He Is not llght-
walsted , and ho has well-developed thighs ,
his legs tapering more from the knee down
than is the case with Smith's extremities.
Ho Is of the build known as "swayback , " his
muscles are long , fiat and flexible , and at
every movement he link as whole networks
of sinews appear to bo set in play beneath his
skin. While his frame Ismail-knit , there is
a suggestion of lltheneas about him , and the
suspicion Is verified when the warfare waxes
hot , for Dlxon In a scrimmage is as einuous
as an eel.
Smith is a sturdy fellow and very nattily
built. In comparison with his Inches hit
strength compares favorably filth Sharkoy's ,
and ho would probably make ehort work of
every man In ills class who tried rushing
tactics. He is not by any means ai tricky
In avoiding punishment as Dlxon , but It may
rightfully be claimed for him that be Is the i
stiff eat puncher in bis elms' . One blow on i
the neck or jaw from Solly will finish a con-
| teat at any time , and the man who faces him i
must bo alert orcry Instant ot the tlmo It bo
I withes to avoid , trouble
| As a matter of ftct , both ladi are punlshcrs ,
Ulxon derives his effectiveness In this re
spect from the momentum his flexible body
nnd his extra reach lend to his blows nnd
from an expert knowledge ot .how to strike.
I ' The secret ot Smith's thumping ability lies
lu hta abnormal strength. Ho wastes blows
occasionally , but when ho docs laud that
settles it.
Since Peter Jackson's arrival In Trlsco the
leading sporting men of the city have been
talking considerably nbout the probability ot
a twcnt-rental contest between him nnd Jim
Corbett to take pisco at that end of the
lino. But there Is absolutely no prospect of
such nn affair. Billy Brady , who Is still the
alleged manager of the broken down ex-
champlcn. has determinedly declared himself
against such a mcetlrg. lib Intimates that
hn docs not stop at the color line but that
ho considers It his religious duty to Corbett
to keep on ritzslmmons' trail to the exclu
sion of every other living man. He further
adds that Corbett will under no circum
stances meet nny living nun but Fltz To llttlo
Willie , nnd the sycophantic sporting writers
who arc endeavoring to force Fltzslmmons
through Incessant roasting to arrange for
another meeting with Corbett , I commend the
following , cut from last Sunday's St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. Frank Pears , who umpired
Sunday's game at Sportsman's park , was
playing with the Qulncy team when Corbett
visited there last week. Ho says that when
Corbett reached Qulncy ho appeared to bo In
very bad shape That afternoon he made a
hit and ran all tbo way around to third bsse.
When uo reached thcrtho was clean out o !
breath and sick at his stomach. When Cor
bett played In St. Louis a week ago Sunday
< ho looked Ilko anything but a healthy man.
There was a deathly pallor In his face , and
ho looked like a man who had been dissipat
ing. That Sunday night ho did dissipate If
all reports are true , painting the scarlet
district of the old town n bright , bright red A
physician who saw him while ho was hero
dcclareil "Ills face has all the appearance of
n man suffering from tuberculosis or con
sumption. 1 bollovo n New York physician ,
who made an examination of Corbetfs lungs
a llttlo while ago , pronounced him In the
first stages of consumption. Judging only by
Corbett's present appearance I should think
the Now York physician had called the turn
on him. " Others who noticed how Corbett
puffed nnd blowcd after n short run said
they thought there was something the matter
with his lungs. That he was dissipating
fearfully , however , was common talk and
gcncially known. The fact that ho Is In this
condition and not taking care of himself
makes It appear as though ho never did In
tend to fight Fitzslmmons and as though his
offers to fight were pure and simple bluffs ,
Just as Joe Choynskl declared them to bo
and just as every nlnely-nluo out of every
hundred men know them to bo.
Jack McAullffo la now ready to retire
again. Down In the coal regions of Penni-
sylvanla somewhere , on Thursday night Mat
"Philadelphia" Tommy Hyan a man whom
Jnck could have whipped ten years ngo
with ono hand tied behind his back , got i
decision over him lu ten rounds. I used
to think McAullffc was notches above the
common prize lighter In point of Intelligence
and philosophy , but I have nfnco learned that
I was mistaken and that they nro all made
out of the same kind of mud. On the
morning- September 0 , 1S12 , the day nfter
McAullffe had put such an effectual quietus
to the aspirations and ambitions of Billy
Myer down in the old Molasses City , I had
a long talk with him In the olncc of the
Olympic club , and he told mo that ho had
about made up bis mind to
quit the ring for good. "You see , " said he
"if I keep on I'll get It finally where all the
other champions have got It , and I think I
will just take the sato side .and keep out
of the business. Although 1 had a compara
tive cinch with the Streator Cyclone last
night , I missed something from my old fight
ing form and I don't know what It was. 1
hail plenty of speed , good wind and punched
about as hard as ever , yet there was "omc-
thlng lacking , and I vos apprehensive all
along until 1 got Myer to going for good in
the fourteenth lound Say , you don't think
that a man's heart begins to wane with ills
physical forces , do you ? I mean that you
may feel as good as you over did In > our
life , still there is a ti.ro v loose somewhere
nnd you don't know It , yet your heirt boats

don't , and I think I'll just advise myself to
get into some other business. " AVIth somt-

The Jacks have at last arrived and sports
men are In a flutter of pleasurable anticipa
tion. No choicer or gamer "bird " flys than this
russet-colored little hero , and no fecthered
game furnishes more exhilarating sport for
the gunner. Owing to the continued sum-
mcrlsh weather the galllnagoca have been
dllatoiy in putting in aii appearance , tlicy
being customarily found hoio In goodly num
bers all through the latter cart ot September ,
but now tint they have come In the bliootcrs
will Improve every day that remains of the
season ,
As there Is every prospect that the warm
weather will end suddenly and for good , the
Jacks cannot be expected to icmalii bore
long. They are delicate birds and capable
of withstanding but little fro ty weather
No mlgratoiy bird moved more leisurely nor

They also take their tlmo in Journeying

Intervening country from the last of Au
gust up to the freezing period ,
English snipe-shooting In the spring has
been subject to many animadversions It Is
claimed that a female bird killed nt thit sea
son means the destruction of a brood of toy-
oral This argument may bo carried still
further , to the effect that a female killed a *
any tlmo will be productive of tha same re
sults Whether she bo destroyed containing
developed eggs or not , the genus of repro
duction are always present , and her death
at any season means equally the IOSH of no
many young ,
If spring shooting were abolished there
can be no question that the sparing of fe
male * } at that season , so far as the question
of an increase Is concerned , would bo of vast
benefit to the shooting In the autumn ; but
as the former Is , with certain local cxcep
lions , permitted , Nebraska sportsmen will not
bo able to resist the opportunity which that
sport offers on the first aside from duck
shooting which can be availed of after the
close of winter. Tncy have never had any
legislative protection , cither fill or spring , In
this state until the present season , the law
passed by tbo late legislature making a
close season from September 1 to May 1.
Thp jack if a myetlc little rover , and It Is
difficult to accurately get onto h's Incoming
and outgoing. Nobody over saw the snlpo
como In , that is the mala Issue of birds , or
depart either , for that matter , They are
nocturnal In migration , and arrive and depart
as mysteriously as disembodied spirits.
Of the equipment , personal and material ,
to aucre'sfully hunt Kngllsh snipe , tlio first
is found in that Individual who , when on
marshy ground , moveb slowly , but who ,
, when the bird flushes. Ii celerity itself In
I handling the guu. Many sportsmen , on
. oozy , yielding marsh , endeavor to move us
! rapidly as on the firmer footing of tbo up-
land. This is a mistake. Inasmuch as the
effort to accomplish U Involves to much
larger output ot muscular effort that fatigue
quickly supervenes , with a consequent un
steadiness of aim. No bird which hit bctn
flushed and marked down may bo approached
moro leisurely than tbo English snipe.
When It alights and U disposed lo feeJ U
Is so closely Intent upon this purpose that
It works slowly to the windward , not dovlnt-
Ing moro then four or five yards from a di
rect course. The longer Interval which
. elapses before It la again flushed the better
i | the chance for n possible shot , Many sportsmen -
| men make the mistake ot hastening too rapIdly -
Idly toward the spot vvhoro they have marked
down a bird , and It frequently happens
that when they have reached the place where
they suppose it to bo ono will flush out
of gunshot , cither to the right or left. This
they suppose to bo the Individual ono which
they are In pursuit of ami consequently turn
off , Instead ot following on In a direct course ,
when nine times out ot tin they will flush
the snlpo ot which they are In search.
To the old Omaha sportsman the recollec
tion of the former abundance ofVllaou
snlpo compared with their prenent vastly
diminished numbers begets melancholy and
icgrctful retrospection. I can well remem
ber when I first came to this date , some
twelve years ngo , such old-time gunncm as
General Crook , W. H , S , Hughes , John
Potty , Jack Kuowlcs and others considered
a hundred birds a day no especial exploit ,
and in the first club shoot ot which I have
any knowledge or remembrance John Har-
dtn nnd Mr. Hughes brought In something
like 300 head fiom the marshes north ot
Whiting , la. The man who can go afield
today and return with n dozen brace is a
lucky Individual , Indeed , that is , anywhere
