Spud ran ton has arranged qullp a pro-
Kriim for his sporting entertainment that
18 to take plaro In the Trocadero on Jlartd
23 nnd In which the burly Turk , Hall Adall ,
\vlll bo the bright particular conslcllatlon.
Tllrco boxing bouts will form the border
for the star event , and between thcso glove
nffras and the bnttlo on the mat a little
sporting carnival will bo offered for the
delectation of Omaha's icdhots that will
surpass anything that hoe been attempted
in thla clly for a goo'l ' many jcars.
Adall , who IB nccrodlled willi having
tossed the burly Yousot about like a
feather In the das when neither had her
, como famous , will have qulto n task cut
out for him In the evening's work. Ho Is
to meet Danny Baldwin , the local strong
man and wrestler , nnd n giant from the
South Omaha packing houses , and ho must
throw each of them fairly and squarely
twice within ninety minutes or forfeit Ilia
purse that Is to bo put up. The Turk ia a
brute in size and btrenglh , but Baldwin
has so long dallied with Iron balls weigh
ing n ton moro or less that the sultan's
lion will ha\o Ills hands full In laying him
on his back a couple ot times during the
evening.
Adall has enjoyed ono continual round ot
victory slnco ho migrated to ttils country
and ns a consequence ho Is now carrying
around with him Innumerable. . American
nlmoleons. It was reported last week that
ho had been thrown In Boston by llocber ,
the alleged American champion , but this
story has been dlscoveicd to bo a canard ,
Adall being In Clilcago at the time ho was
said lo have been defeated. The Turk has
wrestled several men on the same conditions
on which Iio will meet the Omalmns , and
only once has ho failed to win out.
The entertainment Is to open with a go
between Kid Dlxon of this city and Tred
Whltton of Kansas City , a couple ot Uover
lltllo 112-pounders , who will box for five
rounds. The Turk will bo put on after this
number nnd the bout will bo followed by
another sparring match between Dave Kimball -
ball and Fred O'Neill , two well-known lo
cal men. Klmball has Just returned from
New York , where ho practically completed
arrangements for a malch with Oscar
Gardner , although tCio place and tlmo of
the setlo have not yet been fixed. While
In giddy Gotham Klmball was offered a
fight with the antipodean recently sent to
dreamland by Dlxon , Young Pluto , but do-
ellncil-Alth thanks because of the small size
ot the purse offered. Klmball will go six
rounds with O'Neill.
The final number on the program -will bo
a leu-round baltlo between Marlon Mcln-
tyrc , tlio Lincoln boxer , who Is well known
in thla city , nnd Paul Murray , the colored
Slovenian. This couple are fast nnd clever
and they nro likely to furnish nn Interesting
and even mill.
On account of an apparent waning of wheel
Interest In this city Itwas generally ex
pected that this season would pass without
n bicycle show , but after all Omaha is to
enjoy n function ot this character. The
sponsor of the affair -will bo the Young
Men's Christian association , or rather the
Trlanglo Wheel club , the cycling adjunct
of the association. It is to be held in the
parlors of Iho association building and Is
to take place on March 23 , 21 and 25. Ath
letic Director Barnes Is engaged In making
all the arrangements for the show at the
present time. lie has already received as
surances from nil the dealers In the city
that they will bo represented In the fullest
way nnd therefore the blcyelo cranks of
the city will have an opportunity of seeing
the latest models and sundries that will bo
on the market this beason.
The show is to bo something moro than
n show It will bo the social blcyelo 'func
tion of the season. As oilglnally planned , It
was the purpose to hold simply n gathering
of the wheeling members of the Young
Men's Christian association , but It was
finally determined to tender a reception to
all wheelmen in the city. Consequently the
opening night of the show , March 23 , will
bo of n social character Invitations to at
tend will bo issued to the members of all
the clubs In the city. On the other two
nights an cnterlalnlng program , conslsllng
largely of music , will be offered the visitors
On thcso Iwo evenings , however , Iho cranks
will have moro ot nn opportunity to ex-
amlno the exhibits.
The plans of the athletic park , which Iho
Young Men's Christian association proposes
to build on the Ames avenue bait park
silo , will bo completed in time for submis
sion to a meeting of the Hoard of Direc
tors ot the association next Tuesday oven-
Ing. At tlto same time Athletic Director
Barnes will report that ho has succeeded
In raining by bubscrlption some $ SOO to pay
the cost of the work. Under these circum
stances there seems to be llltlo question
that the dlrectoiy will bo favorable to the
scheme.
"J hope that the matter will bo favorably
considered by the directors , " says Mr.
Barnos. "Omah.i Is prelty nearly ns doail
ns the proverbial door nail whan It comes
to amateur npoit and 1 think thill It can
bo revivified with Just such grounds as wu
propoBo to build. If iho matter Is actci !
upon favorably , woik will bo commenccil
about the 1st of May and will bo pushed
BO that tha grounds will bo ready far tieo
In fifteen or twenty daa , They will be
formally opened with a bicycle meeting on
Decoration day. "

) C the major organization the map of ttio
eagtio is likely to be somewhat changed
3t. Louis Is bound lo be out out and there
is a question whether the result will bo a
ten-club league or whether some other city
may replace St. Louis , possibly Detroit or
Milwaukee. The chances are , however , that
the game of bluff will not be brought to
such a showdown According to all re-
; iorls , Tom Loftus is the mosl prominent of
[ fie prospective bidders against the Iloblsons
nnd n ialo la wafted westward that Loftus
has been bought off. That Is. If ho seems
to bo the only one In the field against the
ex-Cloveland magnates he will llo down be-
Toro them nnd as a reward will bo given
Uio rorcat City franchise nnd whatever
plajers are left over after the big Icaguo
magnates select the pick of the Spiders and
Iho Drowns.
As soon as this sale Is brought to pass
the big le-aguo managert > will hold their
mooting to dec'ilo ' what they will do The
Western league Is also holding off and will
not hold its usual spring scsslon until the
latlcr part of this month The western
magnates nro hoping against hope that they
will bo able to gather Cleveland within the
circle. It has been definitely settled , how
ever , thai Iho Western league beason will
open n eouplo ot weeks later than last year
The first game will bo placd but a very
few das before Slay 1.
That the opening of the season Is but
n month off is Indicated by the actions of
the big league placrb All the teams aio
preparing to commence their month of
sprint ? practice and In another week or no
the telegraphic columns of the npwbpapors
will commence to chronicle the scores of
the exhibition games
"Old Hellablo" Jim McGulie- , the back
bone ot the Senators , Is llkiMy to go the
way of Sclbnch and Is almost certain to bo
we-ailng some other rigging than that which
decorates the slmpeb of ttio Washington
players. Two offers have been made for
the hard hitting backstop , one ot $3,500
by Plttsburg and the other of $ r > .000 and
sovcinl plaors by Cincinnati The offer
from I'orkopolls will probably bo accepted.

than aiilhlng else , and with Iwo Michstick- ,

Thomas Tend rtainRcy , who Is reputed to
have been the best southpaw that over
tossed the horsehldo from the slab , la to
bo given ono more llmo on earth by In
dianapolis duilng the coming season Thcro
was a llmo back in the early 80s when
Ramsey -was able to Svcngall pretty nearly
every batsman that stepped before him
The famous St. Louis Drowns fanned eight
een times before him on ono memorable
occasion , and on another he gent the Cin
cinnati Ileds out on strikes for three suc
cessive Innings. Dut the high balla be
could put over nnd around the plate were
nothing to these he could toss under his
belt and in his endeavor to fulfill a con
tract to drink all the whisky manufactured
he acquired a glass arm This , together
with the fact lhat the blab was moved live
feet hick on him , killed his wins and he
retired to a farm , so it Is said Manager
Allen of the HooElers takes n chance that
there are some kinks left in big wing ) ct
and will try him on the rubber once more.
Perry Werden , the veteran first baseman ,
whoso career stretched back almost to tlw
early years of the ccntur ) when Frank
Dandle and Huss McKelvy used to frisk
about the emerald diamond , will bo back In
the ranks again uuxt season , donned ia
the spangles of ihe Minneapolis club. The
accident in Kansas f Ity last iinimer , which
resulted in the breakage of XVerdrn'a Knea
cap , was CKpedcd to put him out nt the
game forever , but \\crden Immediately laid
off and did not attempt to u e hii leg again 1
during the rest of the ) enr This good
care has brought the Injured member around
again and It Is stld to bo as good as now.

The admirers of the glove men are being
almost deprived of their breath nt the of-
Tera that are being made for the Jeffries-
ritzslmmons battle that Is blated to take
place this spring. The Inky-haired Herciilca
from the I'.iclflc coast , Jeffries , WHB so gen
erally supposed to be- nothing more than a
big blto of pie for the champion that It
was not expected thnt fight promoters would
raise much of a sweat In sprinting after the
light. This sentiment up to a week ago
seemed well founded from the fact that bidders -
dors wore scarce and lying low.
Since that time , however , things have
changed and when the time for receiving
bids arrived last week no less than half a
dozen offers of big money were handed In.
The largest comes from Hergen Beach , N. J ,
the proprietors of which resort have In
dicated that they will put up a purse of
$10,000 In order to advertise their jolt , , San

York and the- Triangle club of Chicago give
$21,000 each , the Coney Island club $20 000
and the Trl-Clty club of Davenport , la ,
$15,000
Outside of the Chicago and the Davenport
otters the sportsmen of Omaha will be most

"CHESS.
Delay has been caused In the negotiations
for thd cable chess match between Columbia ,
Harvard , Yale and Princeton In this conntrv ,
and Oxford and Cambridge In England , by
the recent letter from the Hrltlsh collegia
suggesting changes In Iho rules offered by
the Americans regarding eligibility of play
ers. The Uiltlsh desire , that the- limit ot five
vpars bo made from the entrance of n mm
Into his university , while the Americans
allo seven ) ears In the rules of the inter
collegiate tournaments between the four
great universities , thus taking In post
graduate students. Dr. L IJroughton , Jr ,
who lepresents the Amcilcan committee In
the negotiations , wrote to EngHnd last
week stating the cause of the dela ) . It Is
probable that the American committee will
await an answer to Dr. Hrougton's letler by
cable befoie reaching a decision.
The contest for the trophy offered by Sir
George Xcvvncs , piesldent of the Hrltlsh
Chess club , Is being contested for on ten
boards by the best plijcrs In America and
Great Urltaln The first match , In ISOfi , was
won b\ the Americans , but the second and
third matches , plavcd In 197 and 1S9S , were
won b > the Urlllshers. The contest begun
Trldav was all the moie impoitnnt because
another vlctoiy for the Hrltlshers would

where this end of the match was plajed ,
under the auspices of the Urookljn Chess

The controlling power of the League of
American Wheelmen Is pulling bU ma
chine in order tor the summer campaign
Uace control being the chief object of ex-
Istcncc. receive attention first Chair
man Molt Is out ot It. frcd Gerlac1 ! ot
Chicago Is the now Klnghlvo selected hv
President Keenon. He ? Is B cn charge of

of the racing board. W. I Doty of lien-

charge ot all states west ot ihe MI Mislppl
An eastern authority sa > s Gerlach has
sought the position for three voars past.
and until this vcar landed on the wrong
eldo of the fence. "He does not comp to the
position very well recommended , for he
had the reputation while on the Oldcon
raclnn board of bolng entirely lee drastic
In his work , nnd on many occasions showed
a lack of Judgment even In small matters
His presence Is not magnetic , nnd Ihero are
these who know him who think that he ha3
too exalted an opinion of one , I'red Oe-r-
lach However , It liny ho said for n eer-
talnt > that the president had good reasons
for placing him ut the head ot the racing
department. "
H Is thp Intention of the new combination
ot thp bo-
tion to move against the woiks
called outlaw racers at once. President
Kcenan proposes to light them to a finish.
and the Plttsburg man Is said to be a
fighter from Tighten ille. Whenver there

will give attention to other matters than

committee , which will
gineered by a press
send out avlvance notices to the newspapers

things than racing Some radical methods

creditable result of the political potpouuiat
Pi evidence' . O'Hrlon IB one of the plover-
est , cleanest and most brainy men in the
League and would administer any chaigo
with ciedlt to himself and dlgnlt ) to It"
The position of the leigue legirdlng "good
roads" and "side paths" Is clearly detiued In
the follow In ? e\lract from "Cclo Paths , a
practical handbook by Isaac IJ. Potter , pub
lished by the league
"Ever ) cycle path Is a protest against bad
loads , a sort ot public notice that the public
wagonwas are unfit for public travel , a wit
bharpener to every highway ofllcci who has
sen-en holes In his head , and a splendid ex
ample of the charming relations which the
wheel and the real way may be made to
sustain to each other H is a declaration
of independence , which , for the time being ,
lifts the blcCle out of the mud and puts
the wheelman on a iiimer ground ot argu
ment for good roadb , takes from his critics
the charge that the c > dial's warfare la a
selfish one , and supplies to every traveler an
Impiessivo exhibition of the value of a good
wheel way
"And so , until the day of good roads shall
ccme , I believe that CCle piths should be
laid , and I believe that the League ot Ameri
can Wheelmen , in pursuit of its constitutional
' the general Interests
tional objects , 'to promote
terests of c ) cling' nnd 'to facilitate touring-
Is bound to exert Ha splendid energies to
quicken , to regulate and to sstematirc the
making , and to govern the proper use of
these paths
"I do not for a moment admit that this
work foi cycle paths can bo substituted for
the wheelman's agitation for better roads ,
but rather do I regard It as n valued
auxllllary for the greater cause , which seems
to have taken new impetus In those sections
whom Cdo paths have been put down
( Jood roads for all Is the ultimate end of
league work It la the motto which ) cnr.s
ago was nailed upon the topmost rampart of
the league citadel , and thcro 1 hope It may
remain till the end ot time. "
The United States Consulai department , In
answer to Inquiries made by .a Chicago
trade Journal , his prepared .a report on
"Hicyclps In Toriign Countries , " which
shows the introduction of the wheel Into
the remotest countiles seems to bo general
The European reports nro from France ,
Switzerland and Sweden nnd contain the In
formation that the bicycle has outgrown Its
former place ns the luxuiy of the rich anrt
is In use b ) llio common people Reports
from Aden , Madagascar and the Htialts
settlements show that bicycles follow the
Europeans , but are being only slowly
adopted by natives
The California Cycleway company Is to
build a cycleway that will bo a flowed
bl = ) clo path ten feet wide nnd nine miles
long , extending from Paendena to Los
Angeles , elovateJ nbovo Ihe ground from
three to fifty feet , nccoiellng to grade , and
Inclosed on the ships for safety with a wire
netting. The whole path will bo piactically
on a level. The steepcsl grade In the whole' '
length will bo only 3 per cent , and that fern
n distance of but 2,000 fept. nispwhe.ro the
grade aveiagoa l'/l per cent. Thu Moor will
bo as smooth as a cement sidewalk ( a thai I
ride on which costs him $ "i In the municipal
court ) , and the p ) clew ay will bo wide
enough to permit four bicyclists to ride
1 abreast. At night It will bo brilliantly
lighted from end to end by Incandescent
I electric lamps , placed 200 feet apart over
the center of the wheeling space.
In the spring It N often found that thcro
nro loose spokes In the wheels and thai Ihey
nro oul of true nxnmlnallon of them
should thcioforo not bo forgotten To
tighten Bpokps and properly true up a wheel
Is a neat Job and rne that It U beat to leave
to a repair man unless tno rider Is oxpetl-
cnced or naturally apt ut mechanical woik.
With tires there is little to elo except Innate
them and ece If they nre all right If de
fective becaubo of having been left flat have
them repaired or get new uncs. It is a good
Idea , however , to turn the wheel slowly nnd
Investigate whether the tire is firm on the
rlin , for If the cement luia weakened the tire
may "creep" and cut the valve stem oft Ihe
llrat time the wheel gees out Most rldeis
who do nol Keep Ihcli wheulti in commission
from fall to fcprlng find that the tires do
not hold air EO well when brought out ot
the ganet. In a majorlt ) of cases this is be-
catibo there Is trouble at tbo valve slcm
Often the valve will be found leak ) because
of the plunger in It being clogged b ) dust.
A bristle is helpful in such cases , though
often tbo pump will forre the dutt away.
When It Is tightly lodged aiiup of water
usually does iho irlck. Oil never should bo
used. In lubricating the blcyelo after over
hauling it' ' the pedals should not be for
gotten , although the ) usually are The head
bearings also should bo remembered , clso

and saddle post nio usually overlooked It
the saddle has springs and Is lust ) or dlrly
It may become the seat of a bquoak that will
pester the rider for days to locate1. After
giving a wheel an overhauling too much care
cannot bo taken to BPO that every part is
properly replaced nnd set up tight. H Is
better to make certain by a trlplo survey
than to meet with accident because of an
oversight
The becret of hill-climbing Is the continual
application of power If the rider jumps to
his vvoik on a long hill , utlng great force for
a tlmo he tiios himself and does not get ns
good results as when , catching the pedal at
tlie top of the stroke and using the ankle
motion , ho follows it almost through the
complete revolution. IJy consistently ob
serving the prnctleo of this melhod ho
utlll/es not only the powers ot the thigh
muscles , but the calf muselcs as well. A
Cicrman doctor bus been Investigating and
has found that hill-ellmblng sends the plusp
from the normal ( bl\ty-llvo to eighty boats
per minute ) up to 1CP to ISO per minute In
lung-e'ontlnucd liill-rllmbing or loug-dlstanca
raeing at lilgn speed this must necessarily
do damage to the machinery in the region
of the heart. The faet thai fco many racing
men get Bloul caally proves , ralher Ihan
disproves , ibis fact.

bicycles. The ordinance Introduced in the

been rejected , under the advice of Iho clly
