The negotiations now pending for another
Meeting ot the fast ball clevcna representing
the University of Nebratka and Kansas uni
versity contain some good features , some
liad features and some features that are
neither good nor bad.
The question of whether a championship
pi mo has or has not been played Is ono
admitting of considerable argument on bath
nldcs and Its settlement lies ot tt'o bottom
of all considerations regarding another game.
If a game between Nebraska and Kansas' has
teen played End the championship already de
termined there la no good reason for -in-
other meeting of these teams this season , no
matter what the financial prorpects ot such
& game may bo. If , on the other hand , wh.it
was exhibited at Lincoln on November 13
lie not a foot ball game the question of
championship In the Western Intercollegiate
Pool Ball association Is still unsettled and
another game should bo played to determine
the supremacy.
The sporting editor of The Bee shares
In the latter opinion , The game at Lincoln
was not played out. The reason why the
game was not played out constitutes another
matter entirely and does not cuter Into the
consideration of whether or not a game was
played. Rule 14 ( a ) covers the matter. It Is
as follows : "The time of the game shall be
Bovonty minutes , each sldo playing thirty-five
minutes from each goal. There shall bo ten
minutes' Intermission between the two
halves. The game shall be decided by the
final score at the end of even halves. Either
sldo refusing to play after being ordered lode
do so by the referee shall forfeit the glint ! .
This shall also au'ly to refusing to begin a
game when ordered to dn so by the referee.
The linesman shall notify the captains of
the time remaining for play , not more than
ten nor less than five minutes before the
end of oicli haif. " From this rule It will
clearly be Been that no provision Is made
for calculating the rtsult of a game that Is
only partly played out , and the contention
that no game was played at Lincoln between
Nebraska and Kansas appears goad. At the
tlmo the game ccosed Nebraska w > : s In the
lead , the score being 10 to C , and would
probably have won out , but the fact remains
that the second half was not played out and
the score when the playing stopped cannot
bo taken OB the result of a championship
came.
Manager Harry Otiry of the Nebraska
lias made the first advance for another game ,
but ao far In the negotiations no mention
has been made ot the dependcnoo of the
championship on the rcctult of the gome
proposed. Such a game Is desirable not
only to settle itho championship of the West
ern Intercollegiate Foot Ball assoc'atlon , butte
to rcmavo the stigma placed on the sport
l > y that travesty on foot ball .that . .was
enacted at Lincoln on November 13. It Is
especially unfortunate tint at a time when
carptog critics of the grand Intercollegiate
FJimo are bobbing up serenely a''i ' over the
country to make hacsh com moo to about the
ga'mio that such a dlapute should arise. To
prove to the public and to convince even
the opponents of the sport that a game ot
foot ball can bo played through to a finish
without any wrangle or other unsatisfactory
termination the proposed1 pinio between Ne
braska and Kacsas should certainly be
played. To bo sure , no one who Investigates
the condition 'that prevailed at Lincoln o-i
Saturday of last week can fairly ftlamo the
players of either side , but those who are
onily itob rcUdy to thr.ow stones' at the game
do not always stop to Investigate prevailing
conditions , and so hjame those most Inti
mately connected with tlie game. The re-
aonslblllty for the wrang'Io at Lincoln rests
solely with the tremendou y Incompetent
oniclals who essayed .to referee and umpire
the game , respectively.
It Is lo bo regretted that the qffer of Man a-
ger Oury ot the Nebraska teann to p'.ay the
Kansas team at Kansas City took on the
form , of a professional challenge. By mak
ing the payment of a guaranty of $2,000
the ( principal .part of his offer It appeared
as though It was the money and cot the
game that the management of the Nebraska
team most earnestly desired. It Is true
that a foot ball team must bo supported
and the plain duty of the management Is to
provide for the fullmesa of Its exchequer.
But the counter proposition that came back
to Lincoln from Lawrence , offering to divide
the receipts of the game after all expenses
werp paid , Nebraska to receive $500 before
Kansas received anything ; or Knnasn to
receive $500 and Nebraska the rest of the
receipts , end pay nil expenses of the game ,
or to allow Nebraska CO per cent of the net
receipts , seems much moro In accord w.lth
tlm amateur spirit that should surround
all Intercollegiate gajnea. ' The difference
between the two propositions Is that the
tone makes the payment "ot $2,000 esc'cnttaj
Ho the playing of the game , while the other
'arranges for the Wime. and then provides
'for ' a distribution of the receipts' ' obtained
Vrom that game. The cine has the odor of
professionalism about It ; the other Is Mayoral
iwlth a due regard for the ethics of amateur
port.
But the financial considerations of the pro
posed game are Immaterial. If they are not
already arranged they probably will bo at
an early date , and when .they ure the way
will bo clear to what promises to bo the beat
exhibition of foot ball that has
over been seen In the west. It
Is especially pleasing to note Uic
suggestion" that Prof. Alonzo A. Slagg ,
coach of the University of Chicago foot ball
team , Is mentioned for umpire of the pro
posed Rime , with power to select another
competent nun for referee. No man In the
foot ball world today enjoys a better reputa
tion for 'Integrity and ability than he , and
with him to glvo the decision It's a foregone
conclusion that the players would not delay
the game to kick , for It would do them no
good. Tiiero are plenty ot gucxl foot ball men
In the west to net as referee aim umpire at
Jlio Intercollegiate foot bill matches , and the
moro ona thinks of It the moro ho wonders
tow In the world the Nebraska and the Kan-
eas teams over hit upon two such thorough
"incompetents " as were selected for referee
and umpire at the Lincoln game. It Is doubt
ful If they could have done worse , though
Uioy might have gone further , IVio cham
pionship foot ball game between two such
universities as Nebraska and Kansas Is far
too Important to be trusted to the conjectures
of novices lit place of the dcclalonn of expe
rienced foot ball men ,

team. If the day prove a ( air ono the con
test should , an * undoubtedly will , bo wit
nessed by the greatest concourse of people
that ever saw a. foot ball game west of Chi
cago.
Slnco the last game the egotistical coach of
the Kansas team has had an opportunity to
drill "my" men on concerted defense , some
thing In which they were terribly weak at
Lincoln. It rr.ny bo tbt tie teas perfected his
aion In defensive work ao that Nebraska cannot -
not start right down the field and carry the
ball 100 yards on short gains without hesita
tion or Interruption , but It U very doubtful.
On the other hand , Coich Edgar N. Hoblt.on
ot the Nebraska ttura bis had an opportunity
to school his men In stopping the guirds'
back formation of the Kansas team , and to
remedy the fumbling observed ono week ago.
With both teams greatly Improved there Is
ovcry reason to look forward to a battle roy
al -.und out of that battle Nebraska
should como out with a victory ruoro honora
ble by far than any" It cbuld have gained In
that joint debate at Lincoln on November 13.
The Cornell team did not play yesterday ,
but that docs not mean that It his not been
doing oome hard work In practice. The Cor-
nolllans are straining ovcry ncrvo to place a
teain 6n Franklin' .field , Philadelphia , on
Thanksgiving day that will glvo Pennsyl
vania n hard game , and the Indications arc
that If the Quakers should win they will
know full well that they have been through
a game of-foot ball. The Pcnnsylvanlnns arc
a wonderfully strong team , but the Cor-
n'olllahs ara not dismayed at the outlook for
Thursday. They are not boasting that they
will' win from Pennsylvania , or oven that
they will score. Hut with more ncrvo and
pluck than either Yale or Princeton , they
are going up ngalnst the Quakers just to BRO
how good a showing they can possibly make.
The Quakers defeated Pennsylvania
State college a while back , 24 to 0. The Cor-
nelllans recently rolled up forty-flvo points
against the same team. Of course , this com
parison may not Indicate anything at all.
Nevertheless , it Is a fact that Cornell has
been making some splendid scores alnco Its
bad defeat by Harvard. On Saturday It
scored forty-two points against Williams and
tint team was never allowed near the goal.
Ono might have thought the victorious Cor
nell team would have been accorded a great
reception when It returned homo to Ithaca.
Instead , thla was the wise editorial comment
the players had the pleasure of reading In
Monday's Issue of The Cornell Dally Sun :
The game nt Buffalo on Saturday relieved
Cornell from the disgrace \\hlch It htul re
ached by allowing ! Williams college to tie
It nt foot bull for three years In succession.
On the who'.o ' the contest was nn honor to
Cornell , but on occasions the play i.vns iioor ,
and the action of some of the linemen lu
playing "horse" with their opponents greatly
detracted from the general merits or the
Kiime. The team should endeavor to play
the same In such a way that Ulwj most blase J
spectator would have no cause to cry
"dirty ball. " Then , the Cornell team was
several times penalized for offside play , for
ward passes and wrong1 formations. This
should nohappen. . The play of the team
was , ut some stages of the game , very loose
and the men seemed for a few minutes to
lose Eimp and vim und the piny became
ragged , Williams succeeding In holding our
men on downs on several occasions. Al
though the game as a whole , and the flnul
score In particular , mere very pleasing to
all Cornell well-wishers , every one hopes to
BOO these faults overcome before the final
game against Pennsylvunia on Thanksgiving
day.
Especial attention Is called to this Instance
ot fair criticism , well directed , because 01
the too general feeling In western foot ball
circles that If a team Is criticised the critic
docs so merely out ofa spirit of meannesD
or from some other low purpose. While all
duo credit must bo given to a team for IU
meritorious performances , no player on that
team has a right to become Indignant ovei
criticisms If they are deserved. No player ,
however good , Is BO good that ho Is abovi
his coach and no team Is so far advanced
that defects In Its work cannot bo noted
and remedied.
The following rovlow of the work of the
High School Foot Ball eleven of this season
was written for Tho'Bee ' by Prof. Nathaniel
Bernstein , who has had charge of the couch-
lug of the team this year. It will prove of
Interest not only to these who carefully
watch the progress of athletic matters at
the High school , 'but ' to all these who believe
that the great intercollegiate , and now
almost equally Intcrscholastlc , sport Is a
gentleman's game. Prof. Bernstein 'brings
out the 'better ' features of the game as he
has endeavored to teach them to his proteges.
Hlx article follows :
Soon the Thanksgiving season will be
upon us and foot ball a thing of remlnls-
cunco It has been said that none are more
thankful than the players themselves , because -
cause their tlrrm of arduous labor Is then
over for a period , ut least. Not that some
Interest In the game Is not kept up. but the
hard practice and training are not so rigor
ously adhered to as during' the training
season.
But to keep a team from forgetting nil
that they have learned , and to keep up en
thusiasm , some practice Is kept up all the
year around. To do this Is the Intention of
the management of the Omaha High school
foot ball team , and It la hoped that It will
bo done. In UiU connection It may not
come amiss to say a few words concern
ing the Omaha High school team.
Though the local team has not been as
successful In winning games as all could
wish , still they feel that their labor has
by no means been In vain , and that the sea
son's Bume.s have taught them many valua.
hie lessons.
The basis of the coaching of the te/am has
been along lines tending to develop a gentle ,
manly gameand Manager Knight Islncllned
to ( eel that the object has been attained.
Wore all foot hall players- coached to be
lieve that slugging Is a detriment to a
.plnyer , oven should the referee not see It ,
that oaths are by no means an Indication
of manly strength , the game would be
shorn of some of Its offensive features , and
possibly we should not hear so many com
plaints of the brutality of the- boys In
moleskin.
The boys of Capitol Hill In all their games
ImvQ shown n disposition lo bo fair and to
avoid kicking. They have tried to show
that IIH Is the best BOldlnr who knows
how to obey. Swearing has been strictly
lironlblted on the Held. Whllu the team
baa no iltnlin to bo In any wuy regarded
ns namby-pamby , they have always re-
KHnled themselves na gentlemen , ami have
tried to play foot ball accordingly. That
thuy huve not won moro j ; nines Is to be
regretted , but an In well known by the many
friends of the High school team , the ren-
KOiiri for thin arc good and uuttlclent.
The High school team this year has not
lacked material , either as to number * or
quality , but It has been Impossible to 11 nil
heavy enough timber for I'.io ' line. 'That the
boys have done us well under thesa circum
stances and have no ; hesitated to play
ngulnst great odds tends to show their moral
as well as physical coumge.
In some of tihelr games this season they
might have gained in orb points had they
been disposed to kick more. Now , It Is
all very well to stand by one's rights , but
this kicking and growling before u cra.vd
of upeetaiors who have paid entrance money
and have a rls'-it to their money's worth of
foot ball Is a matter of questionable taste. If
nothing worse. The students of the Omaha
High school uru loyal and zealous , of the
honor of their school , but It has been con
sidered IxHtcr to logo a game than self-re
spect.
With the development of this year's raw
material comes the hope that the boys at
some future time may win glory for. tholr

The general trend of sentiment In regard to
the action taken by the magnates of "the bis
league nt tholr annual meeting at Phlladel-
i hla seems to Involve a less prominent cle
ment of criticism than Ifl usually nollocnblo
iftcr the magnates adjourn. The abjlltlon
of the Temple cup series Is regarded with
inoro CT Ics-i emphislzod satlsMctlon , and It
Is generally conceded tint the motllfloitlons
ot the nil pa relative to drafting minor league
players will go far to eliminate 'tho abuses
that have been practiced In that regard. The
gcooral tendency 'ot the big clubs to gobble
iip any of the minor league players who gave
the slightest promise of developing Into ball
players has been cno of .ho greatest hin
drances to the general welfare of the sport.
! t had come to'n point Avhcro It xVas-practi
cally Impossible for a minor league , club to
hold a winning team together for moro than
ono season , and the continual -dlnorgatilz'-
tlcn of the small clubs en account ot the In-
roaJfl of the .ills ones on their players has
been" a tremendous handicap on the cities
who were cither 'not ' big enough or lucky
enough to 60 In the Natlutal league. Under
the now rules a p'.a'yer must have been two
seasons In a minor league before-he can be
drafted. IJtit the most Important change Is
the rule which declares that not more than
two players shall bo drafted from a olnglo
club at the same time. These do not entirely
protect the small clubs , but It la a. good deal
more protection than they have enjoyrd here
tofore. Moro than that , It Is a good thing
for the players , although sumo of them may
not bcllcvo It. Aay mm who Is good enough
to make a stab In the big league will be Just
as good after 'another year's experience In
slower company , and he will bo a good deal
moro likely to hit the pace If ttio transplant
ing Is delayed for that length of time. This
signing of minor league gloycr * Is not c
philanthropic venture on the part of the Na
tional league managers. Very frequently
bey sign a man just on the possibility that
ho may have the making of a first clagi
player , hut he Is comn ratlvely Inexperienced
and his advent Into the big league dazzles
him. He gets rattled nnd ooes not make the
showing that ho Is capable of. Then he Is
tossed out In the cold world , and the only
result of hh flight Into 'fast company Is to
discredit him cad deprive him ot confidence
In himself. Possibly ho pulls himself to
gether nnd comes out all right , but many a
player who might have been a success has
boon ruined by prcmaturo Introduction to the
big league. U will be sut'.irlslng .If the
change docs not result In Increasing the per
centage of siiccessM among the graduates
from the minor leagues.
The sporting writers of the Western as
sociation do not seem to be able to divorce
themselves from 'the Idea that Omaha Is
trying to break Into -the circuit. .In spite
ot the fact tlut there Is not the slightest
local effort In that direction , they persist
la saying ithat Omaha U an applicant for a
franchise , when as a matter ot fact It Is
doubtful whether one could bo given away
In this city. Omaha has bigger flsh to fry
next year anj no one seems 'to care particu
larly about the s.rt of 'base ' 'ball that has
been played In the Western osaoclatlon any
how. The city will probably have a club
-gain In < lue time , but It Is altogether likely
that It will be one which would be way too
fast for the Western association as It la
now constituted.

Tlm Hurst has bought out 'the Empire

Capt. Arson says that the game has not

'alnly ' not with the Chlcagos.
The Now York club has signed a new

Collins had the best batting percentage

The strangest entry la Nick Young's rec
ord of postponements Is that of ,1 game

It Is said to bo about eettlcd that Charley
Morton , the old Northwestern , league mana
ger , will have charge of the Indianapolis
team next season.
Washington will secure , it Is said , one of
the league's star seccad basemen , who is

A Windy City statistician has supplied the-
fans with a lengthy rceter , showing that
forty-five players in the major league began
their careers as pitchers , and drifted to an

The 1S97 horse racing season may be un
questionably put down as the premier season
in the history ot the track. Never was such
Interest displayed or such big attendance
at the harness race meets. The very same
thing may be said ofthe season of the jump
ers , which Is closed In the cast.The crowds
at the tracks were big and money ( lowed In
upon the managements. Tiic rncTiig wus atao
of an excellent order , 'hut , aa with the trot
ters , It can bo slid to be only of a high
average , although , as In the case ot the
trotters again , there was much good material
developed which gives hopes of great things
for next year's season , Both tiotters and
runners , however , must rank iecoad In sen
sational work to the pacers who were the
"phenoms1 of the year.
There were plenty of first class jumpers
on the tracks except In the 4-ycar-oId and
upward class. Ben Brush was 'the ono on
whom devolved th'o duty of upholding the
honor of the division , Handspring , Requital ,
Hastings and Bolmar being all in unfortu
nate shape. To this may ! ( > assigned with
out question the falling off In the division.
Ben Brush was hardly equal to the occasion ,
for he was defeated .by . the 3-year-olds In
both 'the ' Brighton cup nnd Twin City handi
caps , in the former by The Krlar and In the
latter by Ornament.
Tlie star of the season Is without question
Hamburg , the best of the 2-year-olds. Hla
wonderful speed set the tracks agape , and
the followers are predicting- great things- for
him as -2-year-old , particularly as the
weight of his mount does not appear to affect
him In the slightest. Incidentally , It may
ho mentioned 'that he was purchased by John
E. Madden for $1,200 , ThU. year ho picked
up In winnings $35,250 and was not entered
In many of the big prize events for 2-year >
olds. There Is a whole list of other good
horses In this division , among whom
L/Alouotte must rank lilfih because ot her
winning ot the big Futurity stake.
In tlie 3-year-olds first honors seem to bo
divided between Ornament and The Friar ,
popularity seemingly giving the lead to the
former. Next to these are placed Voter , tbo
crack of the sprinters , Rensselaer , Don de
Ore , On Deck and tbo two western colts ,
Tlllo and Dr. Catlett. Of the number On
Deck seems to give the greatest promise
next year on account ot his tremendous
stride. Jn the 3-year-olds also were a intin-
bor of speedy fillies , the beat being Cleophus ,
Sunny Slope , PoetCJia , Tripping and Trolley ,
.Sunny Slope made an admirable record ,
beating Ben Brush In the Brighton cup and
being beaten by-Tho Friar by only a few
feet. Not a few of the spectators of the race
wore of the opinion that the race should
huve gone * to the filly ,
The year was also a great ono for the
jockeys. Sloan , who Is making such a record
In England just now , ls put at the head ot
the list of eastern rldera and Tommy Durua
tops the westerners. Next lo them come
Tdral , Martin , Sims , Clayton , Doggrtt and
H. Williams.
The jumpers will .be busy during ithe win
ter In the south and on the Pacific coast.
The racra In the south were poitponvd on
account of the prcvalency of the yellow fever ,
but In the west they are In the flood tide.
Thursday Jockey Charley Thorpe dropped
In for a foW'nti nlps' chat with the sporllliR
editor , while ? laying over In the city.
Thorpe la a-Mcitqrn product and We'll known
In thli city , Imvlrg ridden on the old fair
RroumlR trapk ondoicn years ago. Most of
hla career hn , ltocn spent In the west , but
this year ho ntnt the entlrs season on the
rastctn tradid. . . ( Before the last season ho
has ridden eastern mounts only occasionally.
Ho has been riding for the Klmont stabKs
and his gooit clothes and big shiners sup-
part his stalolncnt that ho has had his share
of winning mottnui. Ho says that he made
a mistake In not , going to the eant sooner.
Thorpe sajs , Uut.tho . avrage of the racers
was as hlRh'lntho : past year , although ho
would pick nu .phenomenal one besides Ham
burg. The track- , attracted unusual crowdu
and the entire Reason wns n big success.
Thorp ? also says there have been the usual
charges ot crodKedncss In the r cea , but In
sists that never have races been run more
fairly than during thn last season , Thorpe
came from the- cast a short time npo and
has bren visiting h'.s relatives In WhlthiK ,
la. , and his wife's .folks . In Oecova. Ho
Btajod In the blty but a short time , and
then pulled out for the coast , where he will
ride for the stables of Burns ft Waterhouso
during the coming year.
Charley TJiorpso also gives out the Informa
tion that the chanc's for a summer season
In California are good for next year , lu the
past the Callfornlans have contented them
selves with winter racing and have sent
tholr speediest ories to the cast In the sum
mer. During the last season this plan has
been unsuccessful ) as the horse * did not ar-
rlvo In good shape on account of the le-ngth
of the trip and the change In climate. Ac
cording to Thorpe the management of the
Oakland track Is laying plans for a summer
circuit , which Is to takf. In Los Angeles , Sau
Jose , Sacramento and other points. U wll\ \
bo run on the eastern plan. This certainly
ought to bo good news to western breeders of
thoroughbreds , Inasmuch ns the dlmculty of
getting their hors's on eastern tracks Is
simply Immense.
Ted Sloan , the American Jockey , who Is
riding In England , Is certainly mahlifg n
splurge on the other side of the big pond ,
oven though' ' the Britishers did not at first
sea how he could drive a horse stiilght by
his methods. Every week ho makes win
nings or gets a place and has landed a num
ber of long shots. Ho Is the Idol of the Eng
lish racing public , who have reached the
point ot betting upon his mount without re
gard to the horse's records. The little
jockey added a couple more to his string
by getting places In two races In the Leices
ter November meet on Wednesday by landing
Draco , an American horse , under the wire

There Is no doubt that Kid McCoy's stock
went up very perceptibly last week when he
succeeded In showing to Australian Billy
Smith in Chicago that he stood no more show
with him than would have a snowball In the
regicns to come. It was very generally be
lieved ot course that McCoy would win , but
It was not antlciwted that ho would have
such a pudding as ho had. As a matter of
fact , the bout' was far from the best of the
evening that the Chicago audience witnessed.
The go gave but another Indication of Mc
Coy's cleverness. The Australian Is not a
particularly good boxer , but ho ronks pretty
well among the better 'tins an a fighter. The
cany way In which he was tumbled over maybe
bo partially assigned to McCoy's desire to
redeem himself before the Chicago sports ,
by whom ho was once hissed , but bo that as
It may the Kid made a better showing than
had been generally expected.
McCoy will have a harder pill If ho ever
bucks up against Dan Crcedon. This contest ,
by the way , Is In a very doubtful condition
at the present time. If there had ever been
any Intention of pulling It off In Canada that
Is gone to the birds , for the Canuck authori
ties have given It out cold that It cannot take
place in the Dominion. Some little effort Is
being made to have ? It In New York , but the
prospect is becoming dubious. There Is no
question of McCoy's ambition to slide Into
the top class nnd Uko a shy at the belt , acid
If the go between him and Crecdon could ba
brought off the public could get some Idea
of his chances. The latter has been against
some of the big ones. If the match Is de
clared ot ! It Is problematical upon whom the
Kid will pick. Creedon has a den from Dick
O'Brien , who larruped Craig , the "Harlem
Coffee Cooler , " so soundly In London a short
tlmo ago , and will probably accept It If the
go with McCoy Is called off.
The fight between Goddurd nnd Sharkoy
was exactly the sort of hlt-or-mlss hammerIng -
Ing affair as a meeting between two such
bruisers could bo expected. Judging from
the published accounts , there was about as
much science In the affair n Is ii > bo seen
In any street light. Sharkoy's rough tactics
succeeded and between his blow and thu
floor old Joe was counted out , One of the
pleasing features of'thn meeting1 was the ab
sence of spectators , tlm San 'Franciscans '
being too much acquainted with Sharkoy's
reputation to cahei to' pay out their dough
when they smelted fake. The thing looks ,
however , ns If It 'wns ' conducted on the
square. * ' " *

them Is no doubt' that 'ho will be shying any
number of defls In the ring. ChoynskI has
been looking too' ' lonK' ' for a chnnce to get

opportunity that voutddindoubtedly be given

Since George Lavfgiie defeated Joe Walcott

trying to bring about a conic , t with Dal

Is casting longing eyes In the latt-ir's direc
tion. He Is willing to go agilnst Ityan wlta
the latter at 140 pounds , which Is said to be
the welterweight champion's best fighting
weight. Ho Insists , however , that the match
shall bo to a finish. Inasmuch the he thinks
that Ityan would have the better of It lu a
limited round bout.
Oscar Gardner , the Omaha Kid. finally
downed Jack O'Brien of New York In a fif

A revival cf bos . ' -Trw York and Chi

letic clnta arc drawing tip extensive sched
ules.
The prcspects are bright for a boxing re
vival In tils city during the coming winter.
This will bo cheering news for n good many
local sports , who dave long desired to bo
jsblo to witness onio more some fistic con-
twts. U all depends upon them and. upon
the promoters cf the contests. If the meet
ings Are conducted In a quiet and gentle
manly manner , If there Is no rowdyism or
bintalliy ( vlcplayed In oral the contests , boxIng -
Ing bouts can be pulled off QRCO moro In
this city.
The city authorities have given an Im
plied permission to allow the contests If
they are conducted properly. The promoters
of the manly art are ready to meet them
half way. Ti.cy will do oil in their power
to keep order and they can do Hiat It they
Utah. Moreover , It ts pruposeJ- have
none of the boutR moro than eight rounds In

when ho recently permitted boxlnri to bo re
sumed In Chicago , Finally nothing but

InentH ot brutality will bo expunged front

This Is the result of the little affair that
was pulled off In CrelRhtoil hall last Monday
night. This wns the most Interesting meet-
In. ? that has been enjoyed In the city for a
long while. Moreover , there was not a trace
of toughness ( . 'bout It. Homer Kirk , who en
gineered It , Insisted- order nnd a proper
observance of the rules nnd the result was
that the whole thing passed off very nicely
and was very satisfactory to the spectators.
In this connection It niny bo mentioned
that Paul Olurray , the local 'boxer who faced
Al Miles , a colored man from Chicago , for
six rounds at this meeting. Is trying to get
another go 'with LMllcs. Ho had a little the
ibetter of the Chlcagoan nnd thinks that ho
can do him If ho Is given another chance.
Miles Is holding oft In. the hope ot getting

bring about a meeting with another foreign

ACROSS TllK TAIII.i : ' AT WHIST.
T vi XCMV IJin-imvi'nlloiiiil Ien lH nuil
Iftl ThroiiKli nil Hiiiuir Tlinu'tl.
Dr. C. T. and T. J. Mllllken of Slcramento ,
Cal. , have lately proposed a number of un
conventional plays which have attracted the
general attention of students of whist. Al
though their Ideas are a departure from ac
cepted systems of leads , these men consider
them trick-winners and their reputation as
exports rc'Jkes ' the claim probable. One ot
t. , clr plans is as follows : To an original
lead'of trump by A , B , holding tfiree trumps
( two small ) a isood suit , and a singleton ! ( other
suit Immaterial ) , will. If he take the first
trick , lead a sure trick-taker to show his
suit ( such as K from A , K , etc ) . Then he
leads his singleton. If tA takes , .he returns
ttio latter suit 'ton B to ruff. B then plays
his lust trump.
'B will not play as above It he holds only
two trumps. In such case It Is obligatory
to return the trump. If an opponent take
the singleton trick lie has no foil to the play
except to lead n | trump , In which case noth
ing has been lost by A and B.
The only objection which might ! be offered
to the play Is that A may thus lose the only
oird ot re-entry ho possesses , und therefore
may lose the chance of making his long suit.
The replyi to Mils > U thatf It is Inadvisable to
lead a trump originally with but one card
of re-entry and less than flve trumps , In
which case the fifth trump would probably
bo an additional card of re-entry. Holding
net- , king and one small , B will take first
trick -with .king , lead the ace , then play for
a run' , showing the singleton suit by the
aforesaid inctuod.
*
"What Is your opinion of the call for a
lead ot trumps through an honor turned ,
commonly known as the 'Albany ? ' " is a
question asked by a whist player of note a
few days since. This play 'was first devel
oped by the Albany club , whence the name ,
and cossete-i3i ! of leading a jack or ten ot
some suit as an Indication that partner
should lead trumps through the honor
turned. The reason was that with an honor
turned on the right It was dangerous to lead
trump , or holding a tenace over the honor
turced , a lead through would destroy Its
trick-making power. The lead of a jack or
ten was not always practicable and the play
was developed so that any "Irregular" lead
should mean a call for trumps through an
honor turned , ffho advkublllty of this play
will depend largely upon the system adopted
by the Individual player. If he Is an ad
vocate of Howell , Work , Street or any other
author that believes In supporting card p'.ay ,
he must give up the "Albany , " as the two
are bound to conflict. If ho believes that
with five trumps he should always lead one
cs an original lead , the- question arises does
he lead simply because he lua live and hopes
to benefit his partner , or because his hand
Is strong enough in other suits to warrant
the lead of trumps ? If the latter and five
trumps ho would te runa'mg considerable
risk In waiting for his partner to get the
lead. Cavendlvh In ono of his earlier edl- '
tlonn saye : "Do not lead trump simply be
cause an jionor Is turned on your left , nor
hesitate , necessarily , to lead because ara
hocor ID turned on your right. " This la as
good whist today as ever It was , and If It is
desirable to got trumps out ot the 'way for a
great fi'Ult , It would bo folly to resort to the
Albany. With five trumps and no suit the
Albany Is good play. With only four trumps ,
holding a tenace over the honor turned , or
holding a higher honor with great strength
" " bo of great service
la suit , the "Albany" may
ice , particularly If partner can play a trump
high enough to force the trump turned.
When holding four good trumps , as above ,
strength In two suits and In doubt about the
fourth suit , an evidently irregular lead from
that suit Is a most desirable play , for If
partner has strength In that suit the
boldest kind of play can be resorted to , while
If It turns out to be an adversary's suit the
necessary care- can be exercised1 to prevent
Its making.
To recapitulate : If a iellever In support
ing cards lead , ? , you must , abandon the "Al
bany. " If an advocate of the Americanleada
sulllclontly strong to accept Hamilton In full ,
the Albany can bo used In the following
cases , viz : First , with five trumps and no
suit of your own. Second , with four trumps
( two honors ) , crae long suit , and a reentering
ing card' in a third suit. Third , with four
trumps , ono honor higher than the one
turned , and strength In two plain suits. By
strength Is here meant two probable tricks
In the suit. With a long suit established
and live trumps , do not hesitate to lead up
toin honor , no matter how high. The ob
ject Is to { jet trumps out of the way and
delays are dangerous. The disadvantage of
the "Albany" lead , aside from any delay , IB
that the advertary on the lookout for it will
hasten to lead a singleton for the sake of a
ruff , and again the card led may eitablleh
or help to establish an adversary's suit.
When the "Albany" Is uced It should not be
considered as a demand for trumpar buf sim
ply as an Indication of strength. If part
ner is strong enough to help he can lead ,
remembering that with less than four trumps
he must lead a supporting card or none. A
lead by parloer of a trump lower than the
nine should nlwajs mean , four.

Considerable has been written regarding
hypnotism In chess. Plajcrs have been said
to Influence the action of a weaker oppo
nent , hesitating over a move , scid force him
tn a disadvantage by the power of the will.
The case of Pollock , the Canadian player. Is
reparded ns an Instance. It Is stated that
after a false move In a critical Juncture , hla
opponents would often remark , "You made
mo i3o that. " Such a moment , when the
will was naturally voflxed , would seem ara
favorable as any for such an Influence. A
weak , move In such a case , however , can bo
usually traced simply to a reckless impulse
after a fruitless canvass of the situation for
some advantageous play.
It has been said that there have been a
larger number of chess masters In the mu
sical profession than In rny other clats of
men. Phllldor , the Immortal , was as widely
Mined In music as In chess. Wlllmers , Thai-
berg , Kllng , Lewis and others have aV.o been
mentioned as notable examples , It would
seem , however , that the strategy and prac
tical comprehension necessary In the game
would hardly be found In the makeup of the
of the coincidence
average musician. In speaking
cidence , George Walker says , "Music and
chess spring from the same source and ao
chess players and musicians will over bo
found Intimately mingled. "
