TUB OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , MAY 21 , 1890. 11 IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS Comment About the Litest Phase of ths Fitz-Jeffries Fight. HOW THE CONEY ISLAND CLUB GOT IT Other ( Inftftlp About tin- Men Who lilt ! mill ItmiK 1 In eh ( ) | | KT Around the Sittinrvil Circle. The stock phrase that Iho shell-worker Bprlngs upon ( ho unsophisticated Ir.liabltanlB of the rural illstrlcu , "Now you BOO R mid now you don't , " Is very applicable to the ne gotiations thnl have been carried on In con nection with the Jcffrlta-KltZBimmons sera ) ) , Two weeks ago the Coney Island Athletic club bad the light , ono week ago the Den ver sports wera booked for It and now unco nioro the Coney Island sands nro sclcctud as the scene of the frny. This last turn of the shells , lion ever , as manipulated by the police Commissioners of dotham , seems to bo thu Until of the game nnd shows up the Dcnvcr- itcs an having pla > cd the part of the vic timized agriculturists. It looks very much as It thu westerners liavo been used as monkeys to pull the chestnuts out of thu fire. The move on the part of the police commissioners In refusing a license to the Coney Island club for the fight was Hlmply n scheme to force Fltz to consent to baltla In the arena of Tom O'Kourko'R club , which lie previously refused to do absolutely. Hut Hilly Brady and Martin Julian , who form an smooth a pair as nny royal Hush that can lie turned In the pugilistic deck , sprung i\ trick that wan worth two of that. They snapped up the offer of the Denver club and thus govo the Impression to the New York ers tbat unless n license was forthcoming they would lose what Is likely to bo the big gest ibattlo of the year. The scheme worked. That scorns to bo the way that the critics have sized up the situation. The fight will , of course , bo pulled off later than May 2C , nnd June 9 seems to bo the most likely date. That Is not far dis tant and the fight chroniclers , who have been doing but half n stretch of work on the fight while the negotiations were pending , have once more started on full time. Among the ninny reasons why Jeffries should not bo able to get the decision , ns advanced by these pugilistic writers , Is the apparently poor showing that the big boiler-maker made against Corbctt. Regarding this Billy Dclaney , who was In a position to know , writes ns follows : "Wo cannot lose unless Jeff falls dead In the ring , and I'll gamble that ho will never take n final earthly chill as a result of a punch from the freckled onltt of Dingo Bob. When Corbctt was box ing with Jeff nt Carson City two years ago there was not n stage In their boxing bouts when Jeff was not master of Corbett. You know Jim Is of a peculiar disposition. Ho Is rather fickle , sensitive ns n woman , and 1 tipped Jeff not to rough It with Curbett , butte to make it look as If Corbett was the cook , the captain bold and the daddy of the whole shooting match. Jeff took my tip and Cor- toctt thinks to this day that Jeff was doing the best ho could , letting himself out to the flhal link In those whirls at Carson. Jeff could hnvo worn out Corbett and Fltzslm- inons In the same ring. I have told this to my friends'and , they accuse mo of de molishing LI Hung Chang tobacco. " A few days ago another puglllgttcnlly In clined sou of Erin , MIUc Morrlscy , the claimant of the championship of the United Kingdom , set fool upon the shores of the land ot the bravo and the homo of the free , but heavyweight circles do not appear to bo much perturbed thereat. Morrlsey Is Irftre looking for a match and docs not care much who ho takes on. It Is said that there Is $5,000 of Dublin money that will bo put on the newcomer oven If Fltzslmmnns Is the man ho Is put against. There Is some talk of matching him with Uuhlln or some other good trial horse , and If he shows ability In his first fight ho may bo matched with Sharkey , providing that the Jack tar Is will ing to take a chance with a big , strong fol low , for the Irishman stands n trlllc over six feet In height In his socklcss feet nnd weigho 190 In fighting trim. He is said to resemble Manor slightly , but Is a much stronger man , lias a remarkable reach nnd Is game to the core. Still , actions speak louder than words , nnd this Is especially So of the glove men. Yank Kcnney was the finest specimen of an athlete that could be fnund and was touted far and wide , yet when ho came to the V scratch ho was the rankest quarter horse that over trod the arena. Perhaps the most formidable aspirant for honors In the middleweight class Is n 158- lioundor from Hoston , Ocorgo Dyers. This , the newest npplrant after championship hon ors , Is a protege of fieorgo Dlxon nnd has the hacking of Tom O'Hourke. lie has made repeated efforts to get on with Tommy Ityau , but Tom has refused to moot the dark- skinned Dostonlnn. Hycrs recently defeated Hilly Maddon's youngster , Charley Goff. Though Goff had IJyers beaten in height anil reach , ho failed to puncture the frame of the colored hey , who , with a .hooklond of dos nnd don'ts edited by George Dlxon , charged on Goft nnd won by confining himself to the Jailer's rangy body. Dllly Pierce of Hos ton , ono of the most conservative of pugil istic writers , regards IJyers as the foremost of the inlddlewelghts and has a forfeit of $300 for n match with Kyan , though Tommy Is said to have refused repeatedly to cover Iho money. Feelers have also been sent out In the direction of Kid McCoy , hut the kid Is known to draw the color line nnd thcro Is not mueh chance that n match can bo made with him. Dy the wny , iMcDoy lia.3 Joined the colony of nhorthalred sports who have Hocked to Denver since the Cannon prize fight bill was passed by the Colorado legislature There has been talk of matching him with fump of the Ilk whose num'.s appear In hip type in the newspaper * , hut the Haivl taken by the goody-goody folk tf the mountain city th t boxing shall nt > t be permitted until the now l.iv goct Into effect In July , hai put an end to the negotiations. "Mexi can Pete" Hvcrett Is among thcee who will like to cross arms with the Indiana lad. Ho , too , U already on the ground.

In Iho inpniulmo McCoy lo an tinging to make a barnstorming lour and will make the cir cuit ot the smaller tonns of the state nt the head of a specialty company until the new law goes Into effect. Opposition to the now pilzo fight law In Colorado Is piling up to an extent that Is alarming the glovemcn nnd their admirers In Denver. The fight has been taken up I'ystonirttlcnlly by the churches and wo men's societies nnd they nro trying to have the statute given n knockout ( blow by tha strong arm of the law. U Is charged that the bill legalizing boxing was "sneaked" through the leglflaturc and now Its op ponents nro trying to find the point where It can bo declared unconstitutional. The oppo sition was quiet until the Denver sports went after the Jcffrles-Kltzslmmons mill. This move stirred up a hornelo' nest and now any attempt to pull oft any kind of n mill Is being balked. Only n few days ago the police put n stop lo a boxing exhibi tion nnd since then fight promoters have re mained quiet nnd wilt stay KO until the law goes Into effect. ON THE EMERALD DIAMOND \e Alioiit the Men AVIin Hum Tliolf llrriulvlth lint ami Dull. With the ' 99 lIg ) league season but a month old , It Is i bit too early to apply the X-ray to the future In an attempt to discern the pennant winners , but by using the work that the teams have already done as a basis of what they can do , It Is not hard to "get a line on them , " BO to speak , and venture predictions accordingly. All the clubs In the first division of the race Hoston , Brooklyn , Chicago , Cincinnati. Phil adelphia and St. Louis have plnyod uni formly good ball so far , and Judging 5iy form thcro neonis to bo no rcasn why they should not stay In that division for some time to come. A teat on 'that ' point will occur when the clubs of the pastern circuit take th ? first swing around the western circle. The series commenced last Friday and will close on May 28 nnd Its result will have an Im portant bearing on the chances of Boston , Brooklyn and Philadelphia. In this series the western clubs will have the advantage over their eastern rivals , because they will be playing on their homo grounds. Hence It Is to be expected that In the series that has Just started the western clubs will carry off the honors , possibly with the result of landing ono of the easterners now In the first division over In the second , and that club may bo Philadelphia , tout Immediately upon the conclusion of the series mentioned the western clubs will commence their first eerlca on eastern grounds , the games be ginning Decoration day and ending Juno 9 , and In that series the eastern clubs ought to recover whatever ground they may have lost on their western tour. A very Impor tant factor In this latter series may bo the Orioles. Baltimore , although the bulk of Its crack players of last season have gone over to Brooklyn , his played a remarkably good game so far this season and as they Inject a tremendous amount of "ginger" Into their work they will yet prove a thorn In the sides of , other clutos. On their own grounds In past seasons they have met with uniform success In their games with western clubs nnd If they are similarly successful this year there will be some surprises when the cast against the west series Is con cluded. It is rumored that the ownership of the Baltimore franchise is likely to pass away from Ned Hanlon ct al In the not very dis tant future. Ever since the Brooklyn-Balti more deal was consummated there has been n desire on the part of the owners to cut loose from their Baltimore holdings bccati&o of the cry of "syndicate ball" that has gone up all over the league circuit. Within thr last week negotiations have been on , It 1- said , bylilch the Orioles will bo purchases players , franchise and nil for $20,000 cash. Ono of the prospective buyers Is J. J. Mnhoti of Baltimore , a brother-in-law of Joe Kelly , and the hitch over the sale Is said to bo . - . demand on the part of Mnhon that Kelly be Included In the assets of the Baltlmorce. This condition may result In the dropping ot the deal , as Kelly Is ono of the mainstays of the Superbas. Brodle nnd Orlffln havt. been mentioned as likely chars to succeed Kelly , but it la admitted that they would fill Kelly's brogans about as well ns a Cin derella foot would fit the slipper of si Chicago cage miss. On account of the good ball that the Orioles have been playing the club lm& not been losing much money , and It Is ex pected to be a good Investment In case the now owners spent a little moi : f for more material of first-class quality. The Wagners of Washington are following in the path that was blazed last year by the Robinsons of Cleveland. They' arc try ing to transfer some of the home garnet , to other grounds. Tdo entering wedge or thla Bchemo was directed during the last week toward Plttsburg , iarl Wagner making n proposition to Kerr to change two games from the Capitol City to Plttsburg , Kevr , however , frowned down upon the schema and responded with u chilly nay , nay to the vo- quest. This Is but a sttnw that shows from what point In the compass the zephyr Is blowing. With less than 100 hands turnlnc out on an average to view the performances of the home team It seems to bo a question of but a few weeks before Cleveland nnd Washington will bo occupying plots In the big league base ball graveyard.

One of the surprises of the season Is the four straight games that Cunningham of Louis ville has lost and the work of McGlnnlty ot Baltimore , Ned Hnnlon'g llnd , who has pitched five winning games nnd lost hut a trio. Salaries In the Western LenRUo this season all for hard times figure * , and It Is common talk among the minor leagues that there nrc certain Western league athletes uorklng for the miserly stipend of $75 nnd on contracts that call for four nnd one-half months' wages. This clcsc-flstcd policy has also crept Into the major organization. Thcro I nro players fresh ffom the minor league who raw less than $1,200. Though there Is sup- losed to bo n $2,400-llmlt In the major caguo there Is no minimum and thcro are layers In the twelve-club organization where ro content to draw $100 a month , though iclr services In the Atlantic , Western or Eastern leagues would command larger alarlcs. This small-BClnrlcd player Is ookcd upon by his comrades In the same ngry light that a union member views what o terms n "scab. " This Ill-feeling gives GO to many n spat , bicker nnd knock among 10 players on the same team.

ODDS AND ENDS OF SPORT ( ruin of Inlvrt-Ht that Have Iteen I'leKeil I'p Here , There ami Prospects for the big amateur athletic arnlval with which the Young Men's Chria- lan association will open nnd formally dedl- ate Its Ames avenue athletic field on Juno are dally becoming brighter. Athletic Dl- ector Barres of the association has been ollig energetic work during the last few- ays and the results arc becoming notice- bio In the way of entries. Council Bluffs s figuring on being \cry prominent In the james , as It proposes to send a team of hlrty , the majority of whom will be high chool boys. The Nebraska university will ic on hand with a teav and so will Tabor ollege. These teams , together with thcss of ho local high school and the association , ompilso the entries at present , but Ath- otlc Director Barnes Is looking for more l > core - ere the entry list closes on June 1. Besides > elng a big athletic event , the meet prom- ses to be quite a social function. Several rolley parties arc being arranged for the ay and a turnout of swell rigs Is also ooked for. There is no question about the grounds being completed In time for the neet. The rnln of the last week has so- lously Interfered with the work , but ncver- hcless the grading of the track Is almost inlshed. The oval Is expected to be ready or exercise by the latter end of the coming veek. The new racing rules of the League of American Wheelmen have Just been Issued nd show some Important changes from those f last year. The racing board has been en gaged In remodeling the regulations for a couple of months and the changes are in- ended to meet some of the objections that ast year's rules occasioned. The first changa made In the rules Is the Insertion of the ollowlng paragraph : "The League of Amor- can Wheelmen acts as a governing foody , establishes rules for the conduct and gov ernment of track races , exercises Its powers o prevent fraud or Imposition upcn the pub ic and to enforce the mutual obligations of iromoters of racing men. " The next change Is in the paragraph con cerning entries , and gives the handlcapper ho right to throw out entries In which the best two performances of the rider In han- licap events are not given. In settling the valuation of prizes , the retail value of the ; oods in that city or town In which the race s contested will govern the settlement , ac cording to the now rule. Another change is n the rule regarding the suspension of men who do not ride at meets which they have entered , the change toeing that the rider 'may" bo suspended Instead ot "shall. " In the rule regarding official referees , an official referee Is required only at open meets. Also an official referee may demand railroad faro and hotel expenses. Meet promoters will have to forward handlcap- ; ior's fees with the entries. That objectionable scheme for deciding the professional championship by the points system has been changed. It has been leemed unfair to give sixty points for cham pionships nt the national meet and hereafter - after all of the championships will not count more than ten points for the winner. Division championships will bo open only to members of the League of American Wheelmen and do not have to be promoted by a league club ns In the past. In tnso of talluro to appoint or elect a division racing board by a division the national racing board may appoint a board to act In lieu thereof , with power to perform the duties of a division board. A competition record , to bo accepted , must be msdo In an open rnce. Important changes are made In the regis tration clause nnd the new rules provide for payment ns follows : Professionals , $2 per annum ; amateurs , members of League ot American Wheelmen , 60 cents : non-mom- bcrs , $1-60 ; novices , nothing ; riders between the ngc ot 1C and IS , CO cenls. One ot the rules has heretofore provided that no one shall be allowed In a final be cause of n foul or an accident In n trial hoat. The now rule gives the referee power to allow the man fouled to take the place of the man committing the foul In the final heat. heat.For For not riding to win the referee may call nny contestant from the track nnd disqualify him for the race or for the day. No 11 } Ing push-offs will bo allowed. Numbers must bo worn on the lower part of the back Instead of the upper part of the back or right shoulder. The attention of the ildcrs who will take part In the races at the Young Men's Chrla- tlnn association meet shmild bo directed to the now rules governing registration. Thoraces races are to 'bo ' held under the rules of the League of American Wheelmen nnd consequently quently It will bo necessary for nil riders who couio to register. A general tumbling cf the records Is ex pected on the bicycle oval this coming sea son. This Is the antlclpatc-.l result of motor pacing , which has become so popular nnd successful that It Is expected to almost en tirely succeed the multicycle. Kvcry "speed merchant" of nny prominence or ability whatever will be accompanied by ono of the machines , propelled either .by . petroleum , electricity or steam , and with the assistance so furnished It Is expected that fast time will bo more of a feature of the season's racing than In nny past year. That eminent American citizen , J. Tel Sloan , Is cutting quite a dash among our British cousins again this year , especially In n social way , and It has boon facetiously stated that ho Is In line for a seat In Par liament. Some of the turf writers on thla sldo of the pond are greatly worried be- cause Sloan has been admitted to eocicty on England's shores and deplore such a condition of affairs In largo typo n the yellow Journals. Perhaps the sour-grape theory Is the proper explanation of tin1 feeling of the wise men of the turf , ns , if Sloan behaves himself nnd pays his bills , there Is no reason why ho should be ostra cised by the "smart set , " many of whum fall to do those self-same things. No mat ter what his calling may be , "a man's a man for a' that , " and It Is possible for a jockey to bo honorable In all dealings nnd bo a gentleman ns well as a bank clerk or a coupon clipper. 'It Is not known what Sloan's qualifications as a society man may he , but he Is certainly n smart little fol low and should bo given credit for getting to the front at hours when not In the sad- tile. His lack of success when he first commenced to ride this year was doubtless due to lack of practice , as his ildlng was all done In cabs the last winter , but dur ing the last two iwceks ho has made up for lost time , and now stands near the head of the Hat of winning Jockeys. A glnnco at the odds laid against Sloan's mounts shows that ho has not hail his choice and has been riding horses that were not figured as having a chance , all of which proves that bo is a great rides and has won nioro than a fair percentage ot victories with outsiders.

You may think this a very silly question to ask , but Is It ? There Is no catch about It. It Is a simple demonstrable fact which you can prove to your own satisfaction In a very few minutes , says Pearson's Weekly. If you will take any pavement that Is clear of other pedestrians , BO that there shall bo no Interference and walk briskly In the cen ter , you will find that before you have gone 100 yards you will have veered very much to ono side. You must not make any con scious effort , of course , to keep to the cen ter or you may do It , but If you will think of something nnd endeavor to walk naui- rally , It Is 100 to 1 you cannot keep a direct line. line.The explanation of this lies In the peculi arity of ono foot to walk faster than the other. Or , to bo more eorrect , perhaps It should bo said that ono leg takes a longer stride than the other itnd this , combined with the quicker movement , causes ono to walk more to ono sldo than the other. It Is well known , for instance , that If ono is lost In the woods the tendency Is to walk In a circle and eventually to return to nbout the starting point. This demonstrates the fact , also , that ono foot walks faster than the other. You can try nn Interesting experiment Jn this wny If you will' place two stakes In the lawn about eight feet apart and then iitnnd off nbout sixty feet , allow yourself to bo blindfolded , nnd endeavor to walk between them. You will find it nn almost impossible task , because ono foot will go a bit faster then the other , either to the right or loft. Now , which one of your feet walks faster than the other ?
