TUB OMAHA DAILY WT3T3 : SUNDAY , JUNE IS , 0 IN HIE WORLD OF SPORT Interstate Amateur Biojclo Meet Takes Place Next Saturday , NUMEROUS ENTRIES ARE NOW COMING IN Illojclo Hncliiu ( lie HriHoil nt YOIIIIK ML-II'-I ClirlMlnii Afmorlu- tlon PII rk All tlic ( Mil IlliliTH Arc In Trnliiliiii. An effort Is to he made to revive Interest in bicycle racing , which has been allowed j to wane for a. long time , and to thin end a I very Interesting card of amateur races has j been made up for next Saturday afternoon. There never was but ono meet held hi Omaha which was successful In both the laces and finances , but with the completion of the now Young Men's Chrlatlan associa tion track with Itn high-banked corners the Interest In the racing game 1st picking up. A full program of races will be run off nnd 'all the best riders of Omaha , South Omaha , Council Bluffs and Lincoln have signified their Intention of competing for the tempt ing prizes which will bo hung up by the management , Valuable prizes will be given for the novtco as nn copeclal Inducement for nil who think that they ought to bo racers to stnrt out nnd try tholr speed. The first prizes will all be of the value of $25 or $3i , with second and third prizes In proportion. The regulation five-mile handicap will bo run. In which all have an cqu.il chance , as was shown In the last race of that kind , when some of the limit men stayed till the last nnd were only beaten by Sawyer from the 200-yard mark. This Is the first meet nlnco 1897 In which the boys have had an opportunity to win any prbes of any value , and consequently they nro all In hard trainIng - Ing to add to their list of trophies. Entries should be sent at once to K. B. Henderson , secretary , 413 Shcely block , or to the SportIng - Ing editor of The Deo. The entry blanks arc out announcing thu Interstate Amateur Athletic meet at the Young lien's Christian Association park for June 24. Ex-Champion Robert rit/elmmonj contin ues to shlno brighter and brighter under stress of adversity. His frank acknowledg ment of Jeffries' superiority was In gratify ing contrast to the usual poet-bcllum re marks of the defeated pugilist who alleges want of condition , accident or nny other rea son for dofent , save the true ono that the other fellow vas the better fighter. Fltz- slmmonB now adds to the favorable opinion of the public by declining to accept n benefit. He declares that he doesn't need money a statement which few men would make with money In sight nnd vlth a logical Insight somewhat surprising In a prlycflghter , ho ndds that ho sees no reason why the public should be nokcd to contribute to his sup port anyhow. Fltzslmmons docs himself credit , nnd the position ho has taken reminds the public of the attitude assumed by Old Man Anson eomo two years ago when ho announced upon his retirement from the ball field that ho would accept no benefit nor any other form of public charity. There was true manliness In both cases. Ottumwn , la. , Is to have plenty of bicycle races In the month of July. The National circuit chasers will stop off on July 19 , and one wcok later they will hold the Iowa state meet , July 26-27. The races will beheld held on the new board ten-lap track , which was recently built. > " ; Since the launching of the defender of America's cup considerable Interest is shown In the coming contests , nnd a short history of America's cup may not bo out of place. The cup received Us name In 1851 , the llrst year that It was offered , and It has been held on this sldo ever since. The America , which General B. F. Butler owned at the tlmo of his death , was the winner from England. The owners of the America , George L. Schuyler , J. Beckman Flnley , J. C. Stevens , Edwin A. Stevens and Hamilton Wllkes , kept the cup until July 8 , 1SB7 , when they offered it to the Now York Yacht club subject to conditions , which In the main were that any organized yacht club of any foreign country should nlunjs bo entitled through nny ono or nioro of its members to claim the night of sailing n match for the trophy In nny yacht or ether vessel of not less than thirty or more than 300 tons , the measure to bo made In accordance with the custom house rule of the country to which the vessel belonged. The cup Is worth about $350. In 1870 James Asbury , owner of the T schooner Cambria , came over for Iho cup and the race was sailed In Now York harbor August 8. Fifteen schooners entered , and sailed the race , as there were no sloops In those days. The America , the Dauntless , the Magic , the Idler , the Sylvia were among the first defenders and the Magic won. In the next year , after some correspondence. It was agreed that the Now York Yacht club should sail ono or more vessels against the name number of challenging vessels , Mr. Asbury having objected to sailing against a whole fleet. That year the challunger was the Lavorln , and the Columbia beat It twice and the Sappho twice , and the cup stajed. The yacht Countess of Dufferln came from Canada In 1876 , and to meet only ono defender , the Madeline , In a two- out-ot-thrco match. It was easily de feated by the Madeline. Canada again come with the sloop Atlanta In 1881 to meet the defender Mischief , which won both heats The Oracle , nUo of the New York fleet , beat the Canadian , running outside. In 1885 Sir Richard Sutton , owner of the KnglUh cutter Gcncsta , challenged , and the Puritan of Boston defended , the latter winning both beats. The Galatea came from England to chal lenge In 18S6 and the Mayflower of Boston beat It quite handily The next year James Bell of Glasgow , Scotland , sent over the sloop Thistle , which was designed by George L. Watson , who also designed the prince of Wales' yacht Britannia nnd Lord Dunravcn s yacht Valkyrie. The sloop Volunteer , an other Burgess boat , owned by General Paine , wns the defender. The Volunteer won the first match by nineteen minutes twenty-two seconds and the second by cloven minutes forty-eight seconds. In 1893 Lord Diinrnvcn sent his first challenge and contested for tha cup with the Valkyrie The sloop Vigilant , built by the Herreshoffs and owned by C. Oliver Iselln and others of New York , was accepted by the rcsatta committee of the New York Yacht club to stand for the de fense. It won the first race Oolobcr 7 with six minutes to spare. The final race , sailed on the 1.3th. was the grandest ever sailed for the trophy The swift-flying English yacht was but thirty seconds In the rear nt the finish line In 1813 Lord Dunravcn chal lenged again with a new Valkyrie , and thl < match was the unfortunate end of the series. The Columbia , the beautiful racing boat whlrh has been launched at the Herrt'shoff works ns n defender of the America's cup agnlnst Thomna Llpton's Shnmrock , slid Into the water from the same nlaco ns the De fender and Vlcllant. The boat Is built on entirely new lines nnd urent Interest will bo taken In Us trial on tliU account. If nothing happens to delay the work It ought to bo ready for the trials by Juno 20. The Improvements Hcrrcshoff has made over his defender of 1S93 were just as marked from the water line up when seen In the slip between the piero ns when It rested In Its cradle In the shop before the water line wns marked off Expert photographers called attention to this fact , which had not gone unnoticed by the yachting sharps. The photographers found It necessary to Ho much further oft In taking pictures of It than for Defender , as It wns so much larger nnd stood fully a foot higher out of the water. This wns largely due , of course , to Its lack of ballast , but It did not explain all of the difference by anjt means. A com parison of the two big boats side by sldo readily proves this. The Iowa State Firemen's tournament will be held four days this week , Juno 20-23 , at Missouri Valley. There will bo many com peting teams , as larce prizes nnd purses are hung up for both professionals and ama teurs. There will bo contests between hose teams , hook and ladder companies nnd steamers , which , with the ladder climbing races , will make an Interesting program. PALAVER OF THE PUGILISTS \ocn mill Cnniimii < M on llio Ttcerat J clTrlcn-Flt7.nl ill moils' Fltlit at Coiu-y Inland. In looking over the history of prbo fight ing for n dozen jcars or more It Is n very noticeable nnd remarkable fact that In nearly every Instance where there has been big odds that the short end has come out ahead. Re- \erses to the star lighters began when Jim Corbett met John L. Sullivan at New Or- reans. Betting then was all In favor of the Boston man , whoso long nnd victorious ca reer served to make him a. prime favorite with those who hazard money In the game of chance. Coibett , offer this fight , appeared before the world as an invincible champion. Ho was , perhaps , -the most pampered of nil the previous holders of the title. Ills battle with Mitchell was looked upon as a foregone con clusion , for nobody who knew the capabilities of the two men thought for a moment , that the Englishman had a shadow of a chunco to win When , however , the long , lean , redheaded Australian was matched for the battle which was decided In Carson City in the sprlmg of 1897 , thcro were many who thought well enough of Fltzslmmons , who was on the short end in the betting , to take vvhafvvagers were offered , and the result proved that their Judgment was not based on fatso foundations. The short end won again , as It had -won several years before , when Sullivan retired frqm the firing line. This was the second Instance in his American career In which the Australian figured 113 a short-cnder , and came cut n winner , the llrst being when he wrested the middleweight championship from Jack Dempsey and gave Dempsey the same kind of a dose ho himself so recently received at Coney Island. Sharkey was on the short end when ho met Corbett In New York. The light lasted sU or eight rounds and was given to Sharkey because of Interference on the part of ono of ' - foreseeing the ultimate Corbett's seconds , -who , mate defeat of the cx'-champlon , Jumped into the ring to force a decision on a foul , -which was promptly given , together with the unique accompanying provision that nil bets be considered not "binding. " Sharkey was once more slightly a ahort- cnder when he squared away with the ndrolt McCoy , who was not made to withstand the snow plow onslaughts of the ox-marlno. Then came the match between Fltzslm mons and Jeffries , with all kinds of odds on the champion. The big framed Los Angelcan vvnfl no cheaply held that few were Inclined to. risk much , but as the day of the fight approached confidence in his ability to take care of himself In battle was In some unac countable manner stimulated , but nothing like the amounts wagered on previous heavy weight battles appeared In the betting fig ures quoted. The short-ender vna once more a winner , and now the promoters of fighting will have to cast about for a likely mun to go ngalnst Jeffries. A glance at the ring records for the last fifteen years gives Information that the short-end bettors In all of the big lights have been fairly successful. Jeffries' youth and his Immense strength landed him a w Inner In the recent battle. Ho was n big , alow , sturdy fellow when In the Corbett camp at Careen and the sporting writers who saw him In the dally exorcises marveled at his wonderful build and muscu lar development. Corbett could toy with him , hit him , turn around and como back before Jeffries could decide what to do and start a counter. Uo had been Improperly trained , nnd his 1'ugo muscles were con tracted and tied up li. knots with false train- Ing. Jeffries loomed up on the aouthern Cali fornia sky two or three yoara ago. Ills elzo was aniln t him , but his unemumlng man ners pu hed him to the fore as an object of Interest. Unlike meet questors for prlio ring money and sporting world applause he had nothing to say concerning hu prowess. | He would simply try , nnd try he did Every light In which bo engaged helped stork hU ( knowledge cell- ! with valuable Information ! [ concerning attack and defense. I Ills stay with Corbett wne of more value to him than two years' time rpent In pro miscuous knocking about. He learned to study hh opponent , to husband his resources , to use his feet na well as his hands. After the downfall of Corbett , Billy De- lany , who had been his advisor nnd trainer , took Jeffries In hand In the hope of develop ing n man who could conquer the Australian i and the late bittlo verified hU Judgment. Stripped for the light Jeffries In an nmnzlng specimen ! of gigantic manhood. He 1 as brown ns an Indian , with straight coal black hair nnd deep bronn oyco , and when not In action gives the Impression of laziness nnd logglnc i. but when moving he gives a dif ferent Impression. No authoritative statement has been given out ns to the amount taken In nt the Coney Island ring , but It Is estimated by those who like to figure on such things that from J60.000 to $80,000 was received for admis sions. According to the articles of agree ment the men fought for a $20.000 purse , of which CO per cent was to go to the winner and the remaining 40 per cent to the loser. H wai said that the flghtcra divided the purse equally , and that Fltzslmmons Is to get the lion's share of the money accruing from the picture privilege because of his consent to make the match. This could not bo verified , however , neither Brady nor the contracting parties caring to discuss It , To Tommy Hyan probably more 'than ' nny other one man , belongs the credit for the uplendld fight put up by Jeffries. Ho ap peared on the scene about n week before the fight nnd changed the tactics of the Loa Angelcan almost entirely. Instead of standIng - Ing up straight with both hands up , as was his former position , and which was the position which Fltzslmmons had expected , ho found facing him In the ring a giant In a crouching position , the favorlto attitude of Tommy R > an. Crouched In this manner , with his enormous left arm always ex tended to ntzslmmons * face , ho kept the Australian out of reach , BO the fight was not a stand-up-give-and-take affair , as was the Corhett-Fltzslmmons bout nt Carson. FItz , always the aggressor , would have to get two or ithreo Jolts from Jeff's left before ho could conio near enough to land at all. Another prospective fight is a match be tween Fltzslmmons and McCoy at the middle weight limit. Fltz Is still the champion of that class and McCoy has challenged him to fight for the tltlo at 168 pounds. If the Cor- nlshman consents to enter the ring again , the sporting experts bellevo that ho should take on McCoy , as the latter Is caslty the cleverest middleweight outside of the lanky man. Any talk , however , about McCoy meet ing Jeffries Is not regarded seriously for the reason that , according to well-posted ring followers , McCoy would have less chance with the new champion than he had with Sharkey. There Is some talk of pitting big Gus Rulilln against Jeffries , ns he once fought a twenty-round draw with the latter nnd showed considerable ability In his recent twenty-round draw with Peter Maher. But as Ruhlln was beaten in a round by Sharkey last jcnr he must stand aside until Sharkey has either madn a match with the big CaH. fornian or has decided not to fight him. Jeffries bids fair to be Sullivan's sue cessor In the affections of the American pee ple. Ho Is rough and ready , bos a big heart and Is the typical prize fighter such as John L. was -when ho llrst made his mark. He Is well behaved and modest , nnd appreciates the friends ivho have helped to make him what he is. Ho will always stand ready to defend the title recently won against alt com ers nnd It looks as If a new man must be found before the California boy will be con quered. BRIEF BASE BALL GOSSIP Comment ) ) on Some of the Players Who Are Known to the Omaha DIIMU Hall Faun. New York fans are ngnln howling lor Rusle. s Bostonlans now rate Willis the greatest pitcher In America. Third Baseman Williams Is "the whole works" In Plttsburg at present. Dan Shannon , who was manager of tbo Omaha base ball team In 1891. IB now managing the Buffalo team from the bench. Ex-Umplio "Honest John" Kelly Is wagerIng - Ing G to 4 that Boston will beat out Brooklyn. St- Louis fans don't appreciate their team. They guy all of Tebeau's players except Crlgor , Wallace and Holdrlck. Captain Joe Kclley believes that thcro nlll be six teams lu the league race clear to the finish. Boston's chanco. he thinks , depends solely upon Willis' ability to Keep up the fast pace ho started with. Kclloy re gards Willis now as Boston's best pitcher. St. Louis , he says , hasn't got the hltteis or base runner to win out with Amos Ruslo has notified the management of the Now York club that ho Is willing to sign a New York contract whenever the figures are made equal to 'those ' in his con I tract of last beason. So far Mr. Freedman has shown no sign of relenting. As yet nothing definite has been heard of the suit Rusle promises to file against Mr. Freedman for release from reservation. Manager Selco Is using the height of - wisdom dom In working bis pitchers. It Is an olO base ball ma\lm. where the team Is strong otherwise , "use the star workmen ngulnst the 'dub' club for victories and take n chnnco on the strong with the suipOHedly weak box men.

Wallace succeeded James Mc- Garr ns the Cleveland club's third baseman , many exports expressed the opinion thai Manager Tobeau would find out that ho hail spoiled ft good pitcher by trying to make an Infielder of him.

NOTES OF THE CRICKETERS CoiMiiirntN OHHen Who Arc to Play lie-in or The Team to Uo to .Muiillutia. Thcro Is no doubt that tlio Omaha men will put n very strong eleven In the fleM against the Colorado players on July 4 , but the task Is by no means an easy ono. Smarting under their defeat of n je r ago the Denver club has left no stone unturned to bring together a really powerful aggregation and the homo tnlent can only hope to win nftcr the hardest kind of a fight. Many of the names on the visiting eleven are new to us , but judging by their performances In local matches they will glvo us no little trouble. Stone has been doing wonders with the bat , while Iho veteran Eugi'lsh Is away ahead of his last } ear's form. Turning to our own men , there Is no ques tion as to the Improvement of some Indi vidual members , notably W. and 0. Vuughan. The batting all around seems to be freer. This Is as It should be , for n noticeable featuie of our last year's fight In the tournament a laik of aggressive tactics on the part of a majority of our players. Our bowling Is hardly up to the standard of former seasons. It generally lacks sting nnd accuracy , nnd a marked Improvement must take place If wo are to keep our oppo nents from topping the century mark. The conformation of our outfield militates against sureness In flefdlng , but taking things as they arc thcro Is yet room for Im provement Im this respect. Still , as a rule , our men becm to rise to the occasion when foreign opponents are pitted against them , nnd there Is little doubt of our ability to como up to the scratch on this occasion. Cameron should bo placed nt point. It IB unquestionably the position where he can do himself full Justice. Providing Sims can control his fiery ardor and remember that pace la not everything , wo may look to his beating his record of a year ago against the Colorado men. This same peer's reputa tion ao the champion pacer of the team Is at stake , for Taylor has unexpectedly developed an even tlmo gait between the wickets , nnd players of the leisurely movements of Lennon - non and Cameron must look to It that there are no chances of a catastrophe should they become nssoclated with the doughty Bob. The Inclusion of Lennon will stiffen the team considerably nnd his rlpo experience should go no small way toward securing us n victory. Tufflcld can always bo relied on to do his share of the work. The Denver men are not enamored of his wicket keeping , maybe be cause ho Is too smart for them. UchocH of the AVimiliit-K Tournament. Preparations are well under way for the trip of the Omaha team to take part In the International tournament in Manitoba. It was quite a knockdown blow to the club to learn definitely that the "brothers Vaughan and R. W. Taylor would not be nblo to make the Journey. These three players have been the backbone of the club since Its Inception and tholr presence will be sadly mlssod. However , the Inclusion of four out of town members -who have lately Joined the local organization has extricated the selection committee from nn awkward predicament and the club will after all bo represented by perhape the strongest eleven It has over scnl out to do battle on foreign soli. Robinson Is , according to Captain Davlcs of Chicago and other competent critics , per haps the best nil-round man In the west a magnificent bat , excellent bowler and without a peer as a wicket keep. In securing A. C. Stone as a member of the team the committee has done wisely. Although he failed to do any material damage - ago during the tournament of last year there is no question as to his ability fl3 a bowler In the minds of those most compe tent to Judge. Of great height , ho makes the ball do more than possibly any "trund- ler" on this side "tho herring pond , " anc on a sticky turf would simply bo unplaya ble. Vis-a-vis to our fast bowlers , he would help them materially a fact which the writer ventures to prophesy will be amply berne out In the coming tournament. In batting ho has been topping the r > 0 mark quite frequently of late , and If this form Is kept up we shall have no cause to regret his Inclusion In the cloven. Taking the team ns n whole we have fnlth In Its ability to render an excellent account of Itself against the strongest elevens In the tournament nnd wo should not bo sur prised If It came back as champion eleven of western America , That the Manltobans will glvo us n good tlmo socially goes without saying and If they can come near the Omaha record of a year ego wo shall have no reason to com plain.

Notes by Van Vllct : ( a ) This Is much harder than 4 P-Q B 4 , as played by Janowskl In his recent en counters with Showalter In America. Black threatens now to play P-K 4 , as well us Kt-Q Kt 5. ( b ) To prevent P-B 4 , but , as will be seen , black Ingeniously disposes of his opponent's objection. ( c ) Again preventing P-K 4. ( d ) Perhaps B-K first would bo superior. ( e ) This wins back the pawn sacrificed In the opening. ( f ) Abandoning the II P for the sake of an attack on the king. It Is , however , rather doubtful whether this play Is sound. ( g ) It 24 , UxP , Q\U ; 23 , PxQ , RxU , and would probably win the game In the end. ( h ) 26 , PxR would , of course , lese at once , but It Is not clear how Whltu could have saved the game had Black played K-B 2 , Instead of the next move.

( n ) Black usually nccepts the proffered pawn , because It Is believed that he can by correct piny retain It and eventually win In the end name. ( b ) B-Q 2 or KK-K 2 would prevent White from getting his RP passed. ( o ) This move should defeat White. Kt-B 3 or ll-Kt 2 should bo played here , ( d ) Fine play ; If Q x B , B x BP ch. , and wins White's Q for two bishops. ( e ) Black does not push his advantage properly. Wblto Is very anxious to ex change Queens , Q-K 2 or R-K Is better. ( f ) B-Kt 4 looks much bettei. ( g ) A blunder. Black supposed his K stood at QB sii. ( h ) Q 3 Is better. Problem No. 62.

AROUND THE "WHIST TABLE The Importance "f lilllliiMT OtT 11.- I2utry CiirilH Ov urlooUnl li > - .Mllll } rla > rr > t. The O-naha Whlit tlub had a very Inter esting session Wednesday night , at which thcro was a larco attendance , seven tables ' being filled. I The scoio was very close Thcro vvaa only 1 n difference of eight points In the north and south scores. There Is considerable dlEaatltfactlon among some of the players with the way In which the fitroiif teams stick together , thus leaving the newer nnd the nrpMinnbly poorer player - I er to prlr off together. Thcv think this ought to be changed , especially on Saturday it may bp all right for the Mroni ? prtlrs to hold together on Wednesday evui- ln& . but If they would split up for the Sat urday evening play there would probably be less dissatisfaction nnd a much larger at tendance.
