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

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

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

Brooklyn in 1SS9.
When R. J. Wallace succeeded James Mc-

"Tho league Is certainly on Velvet street j

Young. "We are drawing four to one bet
ter than last year , and more money has

amount of money In the aggregate , that is
embracing the twelve cities , llrookljn leads
In attendance and receipts , with St. Louis
second and Boston third and Chicago fourth.
The Hods have been losing , nnd these lo scs
have had a shrinking effect at the box office.
However , the Cincinnati club will turn a
goodly profit on the season. Hwlng has
ono of the most expensive clubs In the

many n quarter nnd a halt to make up that
amount. A winning club In New York would
make n difference of * houb.inds of dollars on
the civet sldo of the ledger , but even with
a loser the attendance at the polo grounds
s twice us good as we anticipated. The re-

cut more of a figure than ever. Take the

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

( d ) Fine play ; If Q x B , B x BP ch. , and

( 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.

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. All nro Interested In having a
good score , nnd they hale to h vo to be
