It gettth rather monotonous-thIs tah-
gen in which the fleils periIt In maintaining
their lead in the major league pennant race.
Aayway. that Is probably the way that scv
crail major league magnatei unquestionably
look upon it. fluckingham FwIng's. band
) nsiats on keeping way ahead , hut there i
an Iota ot atiataction In the fact that they
, bavo made no appreciable gain during the
week. They have maintained tim same ills-
maca bctYccfl themselves and the Ilean-
caters , but have not Bucceeded in Increas-
lag it. On the other hand , they have ia-
' fused to allow this lend to be cut down.
( tail there you are.
) ot course , there are two months nail more
of the season to be played out , hilt the
race has safely narrowed down to four
aggregations-Baltimore , lioston , Cleveland
1 and Cincinnati. Chicago , the next in the
race at the present tune , Is too far behind
to ho able to pose as a dark horse any more.
I3oma 130 poInts and more now separate
them from the leading position In the race.
That Is altogether too much of a handicap.
New York comes next and has not thio sLut !
. in Its team to make the necessary spurt
and Plttsburg Is out of it altogether.
And of these three other possibilities besides -
sides the ItedB , there Is but one ipon whom
flay hope can bo placed. lialtimoro has poor
support at home ; no one seems to give a
tinker's continental whether the Orioles win
out or not. Cleveland never bad an aggro-
gatiori that was a pennant possibility , because -
cause the right spirit ilocs not live In the
pldora. Tabeau may declare that he has
a team that will win the pennant , but lie
never believes it and the men behind him
know this and do not believe It either. A
further obstacle In the way of any pennant -
nant , possibility In the team lies in the fact
that they are homeless and wanderers.
This leaves the ilcancaters alone as the
rivals of the Iteds and they appear to be
In absolutely no condition to overhaul the
leaders. With hamilton , Stahl and Tommy
c
all out of the game , they are in a pretty
bad fix and no amount of patching can re-
ilnce the yawning gap in their ranks. There
Is but one chance for the Iteds to ( lrop
back ; that Is in their meeting sonic of the
hard luck which has burdened some of the
other teams. l3altlmore , Chicago , Boston
and Now York have at one time or another -
other had bands of cripples upon their hands
and It would be no more than an evening up
& of providential fate It the Reds should be
presented with their quota of hard luck.
The entire race is not as close as it
promised to ho In the earlier part of the
iieasoii. No more than a month ago but
. 250 points separated the leaders and the
tailenders. A gap of 400 poInts now
stretches between the two. Louisville has
boon going upward and so has I'liiladehphia.
In fact , the hatter during the last two weeks
have loomed into first division possibilities.
Tim Quakers have been playing a great
game since the divorce from Stalling and
are rapidly crawling up on l'ittsburg , New
York and Chicago. They cannot hope to he-
come the rivals of the flcd , but they car-
talaly are threatening to land high and dry
In the upper division it they keep up the
gait they have been setting of hate.
The advantage that attends a team play-
lug on the home grounds has been exem-
pltfied in the last week by the upward movement -
mont in the Western league of Kansas City
and St. Paul. Milwaukee aml Columbus
have both fallen backward In the race and
Indianapolis has taken quite a tumble. When
tim Cincinapolls aggregation started on its
western trip a weik ago they were pretty
nearly sixty points to th good , but this
head has been cut down to less than forty.
Yet there seems to ho small hope for the
Cowboys and the Saints to overtake the
Boosters before the trip is concluded , for
Indianapolis is dallying with an easy thing
just now in the Millers and has but one
more foreign team to meet-St. Paul-before
It returns to the home grounds , Kansas
City can be expected to give a good account
of Itself on the next eastern till ) , for the
. championship bee is buzzing in the lion-
nets of the Cowboys , but thio Hoosiers have
a disagreeable habit of taking the big ma-
, jorlty of games In the east and the chances
are that their lead will not be overcome.
r. ii. Rogers , a business man of Cleveland
and a manager of a local club , has a new
antI novel idea In base ball. His scheme
originated from ilio fact that it is possible
for one side in a game to make twenty-
seven base hits in a nine inning game wIthout -
out counting a run. It is also vossihle for
the opposite side to make one hit , a scratch
3iomo run , nail win the game , Tills , while
pnssiiile , is not probable , but has been fli-
b proximated , It very often happens that the
club making the largest number of hits.
stealing the most bases and playing the
batter alt around game hoses by hard luck.
This will not ho possible , Mr. Rogers do-
dares , it his plan is adopted.
1 base hit should be of the same value
nt all times , " says Mr. Rogers , "Imagine a
liret-ciass batter going to bat time after
time , making each time a base hit , double
or triple , without contributing one iota to
the ultimate success of his club , because ,
forsoothi , the batters following him cannot
touch the ball , Ills hilt only counts in the
score , with the present method , vrovlded
there are players on thio bases , This is
manifestly wrong. If a man can face one
of the puzzling twirlers of the present day
nml llaco a hall out of tiio reachi of eIght
active athletes in front of him he should not
only ho entitled to a credit of a base lilt ,
which helps him individually , but the club
which pays him a hlghi salary should also
ho entitled to something , When a pitcher
l'ald a hugh salary cannot control the halt
sutficiontly to lint four good ones over the
PInto it ehoulit cost his club something for
him to fail to do uo ,
"In other words , the now plan Is to count
one-quarter of a run for each base secured ,
PD matter which base it may be. If a man
makes a base lilt and reaches first baBe , that
gives him one-quarter ; if then ho steals
reconil flu is credited with another quarter ,
making one.hmalf ; if lie can steal third lila
club is credited with throo-quartera of a
run. nail tboy are entitled to It. With the
wonderful throwing and expert fielding
which can ho seen Ia any league game nowa-
days it is preposterous to argue that it feat
of a player of the above description should
go for naught , Base stealing is almost a
thing of the past. It Is a dlmcuit feat tmnd
therefore one which is extremely fascinat-
lag to the audience. It every stolen base
were to count one-quarter of a run there
would be a sudden revIval of effort in this
direction. "
The adoption ot this plan of scoring by
the magnates would give new life to the
game , If the public felt convinced that
they were going to witness a contest of nine
Individual athletes against nine other In.
dividual athletes , and that eachi meritotious
effort of each one should count in the final
outcome , Instead of simply watching a
pitchers' battle pure nail simple , the attendance -
tendanco WOUlh be Increased , At least that
is the idea of the promulgator of this
icheme and of several prominent ball men
with whom ho has talked ,
In time V'cstern league Phillips of the

Thu twirlers of Kansas City and Indian-

that have more than broken oven.
The International league baa gone out of
existence and in Its place comes the Cana-
dma league. All the American cities are
loft out auth the league is made up of 11am-
iiton , London , St. Thomas nail Chiatham , all
Canuck towns. AhI the chubs start out with
clean records in a new chiamplonshlp con-
test. The new schedule provides for fIfty
games nnd the season will end September
20. A couple of Canuck towns also furnish
the backbone of the Eastern league-Men-
tro l and Toronto. They are the only ag-
gregationa that figurit on the velvet side
of the ledger In this eastern organization.
It Is nn odd commentary that England
should be backing up this purely Yankee
Doodle game , as it is backing us up in this
scrap with the cigarette demohishers down
in Cuba , There seems to be no question
that the Canucks are becoming too thor-
oughhy imbued with American restlessness
to be able to stand the slow game of cricket
when they have a chance to get base ball.
Certain it is that the England national sport
is givIng way to the American. yt the
transformation has been taking place during -
ing a comparatively short time , Will
Vaughan , the local cricketer. was in Canada
when cricket was all the thing and base
ball was on unknown quantity. Ho himself
assisted In the introduction of the game
at the college ho was attending.
Bunts unit Liners ,
CooIcy Is the only tosser in the Pbhihio
aggregation who has participated In every
game this season.
John hleydler , the ox-umpIre , is agaIn
sticking type on a Washington paper. lie
says he'll never umpire again.
In splto of the fact that he Is with a tail-
cad aggregation , Elmore Cunningham has
won the majority of his games this season.
Jimmy Collins has been put out of the
game only once since be began playing professional -
fessional ball , It happened in Cleveland
recently ,
Jimmy Ryan , Jimmy McCuire and Jacic
Clemnents have been In the big league longer
than any other players , And all seem to be
good for semo time to come.
Anderson of the Senators heads the list
of heavy batters in the big league. lip to
July 15 he bad made fifteen two-baggers ,
eIght trisockers and seven home runs.
Chance , the Chicago substitute catcher ,
did not go Into base ball for the money In
it. but because ho wished to strengthen his
lungs. At least , such is the story that Is
going the rounds ,
One of the great races of the base ball
year is taking place In the Eight-club East-
em league. There Is but 100 polat differ-
emice between the leaders , Montreal , anl the
tallonders , Providence.
GafIney and Tom Brown are proving
themselves the most successful pair of urn-
pires In the big league. Brown , however ,
declares that ho vIhI be In uniform next
season again , If not this year.
Cy Seymour is the wonder of the league.
If he hind a heart as strong as his arm ho
could win seven out of every ten games he
pitched with only ordinary support. The
slightest bitch , however , is likely to
frighten him and rob him of control.
I'erry Warden , the veteran player , will
ho a lIfelong cripple us a result of the ac-
client he suffered in Kansas City. The
testimonial subscription paper that is being
circulated among the players of the big
league will net him a nice bunch of money.
Ciaric Oriflith , the pitcher of the Chicagos ,
still insists emi following out his pet super-
stitlon hot to pitch a shut-out victory , if
there Is any way of preventing it. If time
Chicagos hinve a good lead Clark will give
his opponents runs to save from pitching a
whitewash ,
The injury whIch has put hamilton of the
Bostonese out of the game has forfeited him
the remniershilp in the matter of stolen
bases , Delehanty of the Quakers having
beaten lila record , Hamilton has thirty-six
stolen bases to his credit , while Dolebanty
now has some forty.
Tannehlll of the Pirates Is not only the
heading pitcher in the league. but also heads
this l'ittsburg batting list with 36.0. He is
very largely responsible for the Pirates' position -
sition In the race. Ho is one of the me-
dium-salarled twirlers in the league , but
will in all likelihood draw a prize package
next year.

handicap tournament has been set to take
place at Elkwoo1 park , Long Brncb , on
April 11 , 12 and 13 of next year , The re-
qultetnents and exacting details connected
with a tournament of the scope of the Grand
American handicap are of such a nature as
would necessitate the securing of the most
perfectly Appointed shooting grounds oh.
tamable for the holding of the event. 'The '
Elkwootl Park grounds today are unrivaled.
No finer arrangements could be made for
hivo.bird shooting , and none equal to them
exist In this or any other country. Therefore -
fore the Interstate association feels confl-
dent that its selection of these grounds wilt
meet with the hearty approval of a great
majority of those who contemplate taking
part is the tournament ,
"The question of two-eyed shooting is
one that is always a fruitful topic of conversation -
vorsation among shooters of all grades , "
John Lewis deciarod the other day. "Some
people , excellent shots , too , do close one
eye , but the vast majority of the best shots
never close an eye and never look along
ft barrel when shooting at a moving object.
Where a bird , like a duck for example , corn-
tng Into decoys is seen for a long time before -
fore it gets within range , it is quite Possible -
blo that the gunner may sometimes close
one eye and take careful aim , but give him
a mmcd grouse rising with a roar in corn-
paratively thick brush , or a plump little
quail jumpIng up under his feet and twist-
lag away , does lie than shut one eye ? Not
much. 110 needs both eyes and needs the
both badly It lie wants to hand his game. "
"To be a successful angler one must have
not only an abundance of patience , but also
a capacity for observing closely the habits
and fancies of fish , " opined "Willie"
Weaver the other ihay after a successful
bout with the inhabitants of Blue mIce time
day before , "Nothing is apparently more
capricious than a fish's appetite. W1 in
certain waters , should fish prefer dark flies
on bright days and bright flies on dull days ?
Yet such Is unquestionably the fact and
moat fishermen wilt toll you that bright
flies on dull days and vice versa is the
proper thing to remember and act upon
when going fishing. For black bass in some
lakes the hclgramite is the best bait , while
in a lake a mile or two away the fish won't
hook at a belgramite , but will greedij , that
is , when on the feed , gobble up anything
like a , frog that is given to them , At times ,
too , many flab , and notably blaclc bass , are
so ravenous that they will take any bait ,
not refusing even the homely pork. The en-
pricious habits Of fish constitute one of the
chief charms of going fishing. "
Prairie chickens are said to be about bait
grown and the observations of hunters lead
them to believe that the birds will be quite
numerous this fall. If the "pot hunters"
mb not get in their work thu outlook for
good shooting this fall is above the usual.
It. is the intention of hunters to see that
the law in regard to shooting out of season
is adhered to and it the "pot hunters" arc
caught they wIll receive all the penalty the
lawprovides. The hunters out in the country -
try are laying for any overzealous sportsmen -
men , In some of the best hunting counties
in the state a person has been selected to
act as detective and malta complaint against
any one found violating the state game laws.
They will ho urged on to perform their
duties not only from their love of sport ,
but also for a mercenary reason , for one-
half of the $5 penalty f.r each bird killed
goes to the Informant.
The committee of the Dupont Gun club ,
which Is making the arrangements for a
tournament to be held in September , has decided -
cided to add $100 money in the shape of
prizes for high and low averages. A new
system for this section of the country will
be employed in the distribution of these
prizes. Each will be of 5 and ten of them
will be given to the ten highest averages
and ten to the ten lowest averages , who
shoot throughout the ten events of fifteen
targets each day ,
"That Is the plan that was used Ia the
Sioux City tournament , " declares Snapper
McDonald , "and It proved to be very sue-
cessful. It tins become the custom to give
thio added money to only the high averages ,
and this leaves the low men in the cold.
The natural result is that men who can
shoot only 70 per cent and a bit above
throw their money away and won't stand for
it. Why should the hIgh men be given all
the money since they are in already on the
purses ? It Is a good dent better to encourage -
ago the low shooters to come in by giving
prizes for the low averagos. Many a one in
the big bunch of entries In the Sioux City
shoot went in for the sole and simple reason -
son that they were given a chance of pulling -
ing out somewhere near even by winning
one of the prizes for the low averages. You
cannot blame a 70 per cent man for not
wanting to go in against a man who scores
anywhere from 135 to 95 per cent. "
This system Is expected to attract a large
number of the shooters of the smaller bore
and the club confidently looks forward to a
big entry list. Further details of the shoot
are to be arranged at a meeting of the club
to ho held Tuesday night at Townsend's
store.
A suggestion is also made that some
championship trophy should be put up , and
it. is meeting with favor. A "transmissis.
sippi amateur championship at targets"
would not be a bad idea. Amateurs from
any of the states west of the MississippI
might be invited to compete. A good hold
could be secured , as It is certain that
shooters fronm Iowa , Kansas , South Ba-
hots , Missouri , this state and perhaps some
others will be in attendance at the tourna-
ment. An emblem for the championship
could be ut up-a medal or something of
that sort.
The shoot of the Dupont club last week
vas a nice affair. In the club event time
following scores were made : Townsend 18 ,
Johnson 18 , SchneIder 17 , Goldsmith 13 ,
Bishop 18 , Plover 12 , Baumer 16 , Snapper
17 , SalIsbury 17 , Parmelee 19 , hlalhowehi 18 ,
The regular shoot wiil be held at time
grounds this afternoon ,
The "Indian" tournament that was to
have been held on the grounds of time
Omaha Gun chub this fall lisa been indefi.
nitely postponed. The prospects for a sue-
cesa were not bright mind it is hinted that
this event in the future will ho a Purely
amateur affair.
During the last week Albert Edhmolm nail
J. B. Weaver spent a day at Onawa and
captured a tine string of bass , sonic of
them weighing In the neighborhood of a
ton , It the tales of the fishermen are to be
believed ,
J , B , Meilmie
and Tom Brennan were another -
other pair of Omaha sportsmen who spent
a day or two at Ooawa and had good luck.
Arthur hlazelton brought a string of
thirty-eight bass and crappy as a result of
a day's casting at Noble's hake.
OSCEOLA , Neb , , July 27.-To the Sporting
Editor of Time line : I have just returned
from a fishing trip , during whichi I had
ienao luck by making seine very large
catches of catfish , bass , wall-eyed pike and
pickerel , but I exhausted all the schemes I
knew of in trying to catch seine larg.3
buffaloes and suckers , I could see thorn In
the water. Limit they would not notice any
Lort of bait , so I take the pleasure in ask-
lug you if you can suggest any way they
can be caught by a hmook-Roy Pheasant.
"Doughibalia" are about the only bait that
buffalo and suckers will go for , Sometimes
a hungry or too curious specimen will strike
at some other bait , but these occasions arc
few and far between ,

ord ; but these two fast heats seemed to but
round out lila racing condition , for In tlmo

beating the former world's record for 3-
year-old pacers three full seconds , Time son-

ness performers , age and time time of the
year considered. No little credit is also duo
time Peoria track , which by all honest critics
will be accorded a rating along with the
finest and fastest In the land.
The light harness world seems to be on
the verge of a transformation in the program -
gram of meets. This prospective change
is an outgrowth over the necessity of mnk-
Ing the racing a flnnncial success without
placing all the expense on the owners or
drivers. Five per cent entrance fee and
5 per cent additional from the winners is a
loser for the promoters in the big majority
of cases , because ordinarily the entries arc
not suificlent , while the owners hesitate to
take chances in paying 10 imr cent. In
view of these facts time promoters have to
took to the attendance to get some of the
money. The problem , therefore , is to get
the people out In greater numbers than at
present , The time-honored style of best
three in five heats , with chances of being
prolonged by splitting up , makes the spec.
tators weary before the races are finished.
In a word , more gimmgcr and dash must be
put in ; novelties might be a good definition
of Limo need. It has been suggested that
the races should be three heats , winner of
each heat to be paid off and sent to the
barn. Mile , mile and a half and even two-
milo dashes , handicap races and other events
of this character might also be successfully
employed. A start in this direction has
already been made , for on the coast dash
races have been very successful , while the

Whether the bout between Corbott and
McCoy develops into a stage rehearral remains -
mains to lie seen , but there is no question
that the affair will create a big amount of
interest in sporting circles , Despite the

of the two macn , If it proves to lie on the

It will ho a great left-hand hitter up

charged also with an Inability to lilt , so also
have the friends of this bitter pointed out
that he possesses cleverness as destructive
as Corbett's left hand that overcomes a lack
of slugging ability. This consists in his
power of making more of lila chances at
chose quarters than any other man.
McCoy's close work nmeans something
more than shooting time hands in as rapidly
as possible and trusting in luck timat more

In Infighting , I-ic not only blocks and gets

Limo other rips into time mmman's body. Then ,
with time speed of lightnimmg , it bangs Into
time face. Tile block is abammiloned and the
other hand jolts the body and then the jaw.
It is all done in a second. The spectator
gets a confusing glimpse of two nrms work-
lag like a runaway rock drill antI Mccoy is
again moving easily about with his half-bent
arms swinging before him. If the opponent
rushes at bun , then , the Kid breaks gmound ,
for ho takes mme chances. When ho has his
mmiii quiet , lie begins his work again.
Both men are proilcient in foot work , al-
timough McCoy's Is not as showy as Corhett's.
On this score they are classed even , and
the critics also opine that time two are
physIcally matched oven though Corbett lies
an advantage of weight and years.
By his consent to meet McCoy , Corbctt
declares that he is commencing the fulfill-
meat of the xmromuiso to meet all imeavy-
weights who aspire to the clmampionshmip.
Even though this looks like a bit of a bluff ,
Corbott's meeting with McCoy may possibly
be a good augur for the future. There am'o
those who insist that Corbett should meet
men like Jellies , Simarkey and Maimer before
insisting on another meeting with Fitz-
simmons. It must ho remembered , however ,
that Fitz never made such a condition. In
response to the impositIon of tIme hard tasks
made by the then cbnmnpien upon the redheaded -
headed Cornlshmmnan thio latter Insisted that
Corbett defeat Maher , Slumrkey or some
other heavyweight of good quality. if Cor-

to defeat any one else of time heavies ? McCoy -
Coy is among the foremost of the aspirants

still it must be remembered that it is a
hard matter for a boxer to stop two men of
