If steady training on the part of the rlilors
Is any Indication , the races on the 29lh at
th < 5 Athletic park of the Young Men's
Christian association will bo fast and close.
The local riders still feel very spunky about
the way the" men from Lincoln scooped In
the pilzcs nt the last meet. If any riders
from oulsldo of the city expect to take homo
any prizes or glory after the meet iioxt
Saturday , they must make up their minds
to earn all they get Uvcry night for the
last two week * the Omaha boys have been
getting themselves In shape for the contest.
The Kearney Cycle club will be represented
by Cummlngs and Zimmerman , who fool
confident that they have some spurts which
will surprise the Omaha men. Lincoln will
not bo satisfied with a delegation of two ,
but Is expecting to have a string of riders
on the track to hold the honors which It
won so easily on the 4th. The Council
I ! luff s men are also planning a little sur
prise party , and claim they have the "lend
plpo cinch" on the mlle open and the two-
milo tandem races , One thing Is euro ,
thcro 'will bo some good hot races on the
new track next Saturday afternoon.
The fifteenth annual regatta of the Iowa
State Amateur How Ing association was held
ot Sioux City last week. Durllngton , Cedar
llapldfl , Dubuque und Sioux City hud crows
entered , but Council Bluffs , Ottumvva and
Clear Lake , the other members of the asso
ciation , were not represented.
The races wcro given by * lhc Hlvcrsldo
Boat club of Sioux City , and through the
indefatigable efforts of Its efficient president ,
Constant H. Marks , who Is also president ot
the state association , wcro a success In every
particular.
Sioux City has two boat clubs. On the
first night the visitors were entertained with
a water .carnival and Impromptu dance by
the Riverside club , and on the second night
by a regular regatta hop given by the Sioux
City club In Its elegant club house.
Dr. "W. S. McDowell "was " present at the
regatta and rowed a few exhibition races ,
but made no remarkable tlmo. Sioux City
has a splendid place for holding these affairs
and also for the pleasure of Its club mem
bers. At this tlmo of the year -when the
water In the Missouri Is high It forms a
sort of a dam to the Sioux river , which
makes the latter very wldo and navigable
for about tlilrty-flvo miles. Around the
club house a veritable Coney Island has been
built up , where all kinds of "Midway" nhous
are run , and aa It is only about four miles
from town , with a C-ccnt motor fare , It is
packed every evening. Ono of the boating
clubs hua six bowling alloys , and the other
has four. Considerable Interest has been
worked up In this pleasant and profitable
sport. Cement tennis courts are also pro
vided. *
Many noted oarsmen -were present at the
rcg.itta , and acted ns Judges and starters ,
and the regatta waa conducted In a flrat-
class manner throughout.
As a health exerciser golf has no superior.
It appcalo allko to both sexes. Women golf
ers are almost as good experts as the men.
The game can , bo played In all seasons , but
the summer and fall are undoubtedly the
most suitable nnd popular seasons. No
phjsical deformities can result from playing
golf , for ono uses the legs fn walking over
miles ot rough , ground , and the arms nnd
body lu swinging the clubs to glvo a good
ringing blow to the boll. Probably moro
muscles nro brought Into play In golf than
any other popular game. The amount of
oxortlon can bo proportioned to the strength
of the Individual , nnd It Is only the foolish
who exhaust themselves In golfing.
In playing the game ono comes Into direct
contact with nature , nnd the study of hlll-
oldo and hollow , of swamp and pasture , of
hedge nnd wood , becomes a second nature
to the export golfer. This aesthetic culture
that comes Indirectly from playing golf Is
not the least important clement of the game.
The training of the eye to measure distances
nnd of the muscles to etrlko the blow evenly
nnd with the proper force belongs to the
benefits that each plnyor may derive from
this gamo.
The challenge match for Iho mlddlo states
championship at lawn tennis marks a new
era la the history of the game. For the
last flvo jcars or so the eamo men , Lamed
nnd Wronn , have tooon winning everything ,
and have proved absolutely Invincible BO far
os the younger generation Is concerned. The
pair were away at war lost summer with thoRough
Rough Riders , and In their absence , Mack
Whitman , ono of the younger tnen , won the
championship. It was an open question then
among the beat Informed as to whether his
play had Improved much or whether his suc
cess nas eolcly duo to the absence of the
cracks. Last ( Mondey ho beat Larn&d decis
ively , thrco sots to one * In their first match
elnco Whitman won the championship , and It
nvas fully demonstrated that ho la now fully
up to the leaders.
Young Dwlght Davis' success In the Mlddlo
Btatoatournament also demonstrates that
Whitman Is not the only ono of the younger
men who Is In the class of the brat now.
Davis has uot Whitman's steadiness nor his
marvelous control of the ball , but ho has
opecd to burn , a feature probably the only
one that tbo champion lacks ,
Ono extenuation can bo pleaded In Larned's
favor ; ho has not pla > ed enough yet this
season to reach his true form , as ho has
been playing golf most of the spring. Still ,
Whitman had A consldorablo margin to
eparo on 'Monday ' and It Is doubtful If
Lamed can Improve enough between now
nnd Newport to outclass him again as ho
uiod to.
The Canadian championship brought Whit
man once moro Into prominence , and the
champion ha astonished the tennis world by
hl determination to play through the events
of the eeason , despite the fact that he holds
the blue ribbon of the American courts. It 1
is unquestionably very sportsmnnllko nnd
democratic for the champion to thus stand
open at alt times to me t nil comers , nnd
not hide behind hh title and avoid defeat ,
but American precedent Is all against this
method of procedure. A few have criticised
the champion as a "mug hunter" for his
course , nnd the opinions of the experts seem
to be divided on the point.
"What's In a name ? " A great deal some
times , nnd It Is to be hoped that the solu
tion will not make us Icno faith In lha
belief. When Mr. Isclln chose the name
"Columola" for his new jacht he selected
ono which Is highly respected In the annals
of American yachting. Back In 1871 , when
James Asburj of the Royal Harwich Yacht'
club was struggling in the tolls of nn
America's cup race , hla schooner , the
Livonia , could be c-pposed , If the defenders
thjught It. advisable , by a diffeient jacht
wch morning. The centerboard schooner
Columbia , owned by Franklin Osgoode , was
chosen for the first contest and a moro
sweeping victory than the American gained
tint day has never been recorded In the
annals of International yachting.
The two boats raced off Sandy Hook and
when the Livonia crossed the finish line the
Columbia had been homo
twenty-seven mln-
utcs nnd four seconds. The next day the
Livonia raced the Columbia again nnd
somethhig like ten minutes was the Colum
bia's winning margin. The third race saw
the last of the American jncht , although It
was through no fault of Its skipper that It
was beaten Its steering gear gave way
whllo out on the course and the Livonia
scored Its only miccies. The Sappho suc
ceeded the Columbia as defender of the cup
anil in the next two races lost the Llvonl.i
In the oiling.
lAftor twenty-eight > ears the old Columbia
has been succeeded by the new Yachtsmen
In 1871 would probably have stood aghast
had a vision of the present Columbia been
piesentcd to their view , so different from
these of the present wcro their Ideas of
yacht construction , but It Is doubtful
whether the Isclin Columbia will be able lo
defeat thr > Shamrock In the same proportion
that the Osgoodo double-sticker vanquished
the Livonia. The only thing that Is bother
ing the superstitious In the repetition of
names Is the breaking of the steering geir
on the old Columbia. If the now jucht
emulates the example of Its honored ancestor
In that respect the result will bo disastrous ,
as thcro is no Sappho to take the Columbia's
place ns there was In 1871. Yachtsmen find
Bolaco In the belief that all possible nc-
cldcnta are befalling the Columbia now nnd
the supply , It Is hoped , will run short before
October.
SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , July 22. To the
Sporting Editor of The Boo : Reports from
nil parts of the eastern portion of the state
tell of the unusually largo number of pral-
rlo chickens , Insuring rare sport for hunters
next fall. The season has been a favorable -
able ono for thceo game Ijlrds , ns the fre
quent ralna made the growth of gross and
weeds so abundant that the chickens were
protected during the hatching period from
hawks and other 'birds ' which are accus
tomed to prey upon young chickens before
they leave their nests. This year the rank
growth of graea afforded secure hiding
places and the result will bo that chicken
hunters will next fall have better sport
than for several years. There Is a general
disposition throughout the state to see that
the now game law la fully enforced until
September 1 , when the open season for pral-
rlo chickens commences. Game wardens
appointed under the new law will also
strictly enforce the law and any ono caught
shooting or trapping prairie chickens prior
to iScptem'ber ' 1 will bo promptly and vigor
ously prosecuted. Owing to this disposi
tion hunters from outsldo states , who will
bo required to pay a license of $10 each for
the privilege of hunting In South Dakota ,
need have no fear that all the chickens will
have been killed hy local hunters by Sep-
tcnibor 1 , when the killing of chickens will
bo permitted by law. It Is eild that fully
fifty Sioux City hunters will come to the
state shortly prior to September 1 and take
out hunters' licenses. Sportsmen from
Wisconsin , Illinois nnd other states will nlso
como to South ( Dakota for their customaiy
fall sport of chicken hunting.

Detroit , the famous pacer was set to the task
of beating 2 02 , but although ho failed , his
effort under the circumstances was a cred
itable one and It was moreover the fastcsl
mile of the > ear up to date ( Jcntry was set
up as a drawing card at the Highland park
meeting In a special race against time am
the grounds were crowded as a result. The
footing was none too good and to * make him

Andrews , had to rate him along carefully.
The stalfion paced the mile In 2 02 > i , but
some parts of the distance were traveled at
a pace which , If It had been uniform
throughout , would have clipped a full Hecont
from Star Pointer's mark and mndo the rec
ord about 1.39. The finish of the race was
an exciting one , even though the pacer bai
no running mate to struggle against. An
drews got him going along In splendid slnpo
after the sixth furlong had been covered ant

"And It It doesn't change during the nlghl

And as the wind did not change , true to

the promised fish.
With a good , btiff breeze , and with full
sail , the Clara simply flew over the white

the grounds that our guide had chosen. "Two
can take a boat and some frogs , go over bv
these weeds and cast for bass , and If thej
don't strike , I'll Tcso my guess. Two more
take the other boat and go to yonder bay anc
troll for pickerel , while I take the others
over to this plko hole , and Bee- what we can
do. " The writer and Harry Burkley were
in the pickerel boat and the stories of the
fish wo caught and those we did not catch
would fill a volume. The largest fish of the
day was an eight-pound pickerel which
Harry succeededlu _ Tandlng after nearly upsetting -
setting the boat several times , but with the
skill of the epfendld , fisherman which Dark-

Thirty-seven jilko were caught and only
two black bass and a large number of crop-

catch for these waters.

Terry McGovern made n match of con
siderable Interest last week when he signed
articles of agreement to fight Pedlar Pal
mer , the undisputed 110-pound champion of
England , before the Westchester Athletic
club for a purse of ? 10,000.
McGovern's career has extended over the
brief period of two years , but even this
limited experience has fitted him to cope
with any of the top-saw jer.s of his class.
His manager , Harris , was set on making
the weight 118 pounds , but Palmer , through
his representative , Dr. Ordway , held out for
two pounds of weight , and the lads are to
scale at 11G at the ringside. Tno wee ,
meager pounds seem a trine to bring Into
dispute In the ejes of the average layman
unfamiliar with the Inside affairs of the
stuffed-mitt sport , but In ye London ring
rule dajs feather and bantamweights
brought ono lone pound Into the ring as
the bone of contention , while the boxer
who held out for the extra pound of flesh
would stay off for months to gain his point.
ilaco alnjs figured that one or two
pounds of weight on the frames of feathers
and bantams often proved the winning
factor , If the science of boxing was evenly
distributed between them. In taking up
arms against Palmer , the manager of Mc-
Oovern showed unbounded confidence In the
plucky , scrappy Terry , who must divest
himself of those slaughter-house ethics that
are In vogue nt the Broadway club. The
rough nnd ready brushes that come of fight
ing Into and out of a clinch will not be
tolerated at the Weatchester club , and the

for n match game of ball for thla after
noon nt Torty-flrst and Jnckson streets for
$100 a side. The umpires nro taken from
Swift's and ttie Omahn Packing compnnj.
The Philadelphia team Is making a bold
bid for the pennant. Thin team has made
a wonderful uhowlng during the last six
weeks In May the Phlladelphlas were not
considered a factor In the race , but they
linvo upset all calculations And from now
on the Ilrooklyns will have lo put up the
best article of base ball to retain their lead.
The Uostons nre nlso Ftlll very much In the
fight and they , too , will take a lot of beat
ing.
( Manager Hnnlon Is not taking any chancre.
He apparently sera the danger of losing
first place and has set to work strengthening
tlie _ Brooklyn team for the homo stretch.
BO to speak. The Brooklyn club's officials
are giving Hanlon every encouragement In
the way of funds. They started out to win
a pennant this > ear nnd will land ono If
fiiicli n thing Is possible. New players aio
being sccuml. Hanlon made an excellent
move when he secured McCtUlro of Wash
ington to help out Catcher Farrell , ho sac
rificing McOnnn , a good first baseman , and
Catcher Smltli to secure the Washington
player. H Is Hanlon's Intention to keep
Anderson at first base. He probably docs
not play ns well as Mcf.nnn nt present , but
under the care of a manager of Hanlon's
ability he should develop Into a good base
man. McGanu was only a second-class base
man when Hanlon first secured him. An
derson Is a far better hitter than McGanu.
which Is the main reason that he Is being
retained at firht. Another move now being
made by the Brooklyn manager Is to seoure
Wagner of St. Louis for Jennings. The latter
has undoubtedly seen his best days. His
arm Is In bad shape. Wagner Is a young
plajer , who is Improving with every game.
Ho would Just fill the bill at short stop for
tUo Brooklyns.
Clatke Griffith of the Chicago team is one
of the best pitchers the game has ever
known. Griffith , like all common-sense and
thinking pitchers , gets his skill from purely
practical methods. Instead of keeping his
cyo fastened to the home base , whllo in the
act of delivering the ball , he picks out his
catcher for a mark and gauges the distance
and location by the position of his back
stop. The majority of young pitchers are
handicapped by the habit of keeping their
cyo on the honie "base " and the result Is that
they lose control of the ball. If they "would "
single out their backstop and pitch at him ,
regardless of the home plate , they would
lose fewer balls and add to their effective
ness.
The opening game of the series between
the Pirates and Boston .was a pitchers' battle
between Nichols and Chesbro and the former
was strong enough to keep the Plttsburgs
down to a solitary hit. Young Chesbro se
cured this. Each pitcher h'ad a strike-out
to his credit. Nichols gave two bases on
balls and Chesbro three. The latter also
made a wild pitch and a fielding error , but
held the champions down to three hits.
I IN THE WHEELING WORLD , f
The bicycle trust has taken a fresh start ,
coupled with the announcement that It Is
a sure go this time. When It was first
projected three months ago the promoters
expected to make a large , Juicy haul from
wind and water. Eighty millions was the
top notch of capital stock which was to
bo thrown on the market. But the concern -
corn could not navigate with the load.
Bankers refused to touch It , and Promoter
Spaldlng was In despair. The only remedy
WQS a surgical operation on tbo Inflated
capital * Thla was successfully performed
last week , and start number two was
mado.
The comhlno Is named the American Bi
cycle company , with a capital of $40,000-
000. It comprises forty-five concerns , con
trolling fifty-six plants. The members will
bo paid 110 per cent of the original appraise
ment for their planto. Of this amount SO
per cent Is cash , 30 per cent preferred stock
and CO per cent common stock , The capi
tal consists of $10,000,000 debenture gold
bonds , 5 per cent , twenty ye.ira ; $10,000-
000 In 7 per cent preferred clock , cumula
tive as to dividends and preferred as to
aewcts , and $20,000,000 In common stock.
The debenture bonds , If called In before
duo , are payable nt 105 , Those In the
trust are privileged to subscribe to them
at 92 per cent.
The combine Is not as strong as originally
projected , and doea not control the market -
kot by any means. Several large concerns
which gave options In June are Raid to bo
out of it , and will go It alone , or may form
an opposition company ,
The committee In charge of the Boston
meet of the Letiguo of American Wheelmen
reports having secured a one-rate tare for
tbo round trip from all parts of the United
States , This Is ono of the strong Induce
ments for wheelmen to take part In the an
nual event. Tbo entertainment committee
for the meet la working assiduously com
pleting the detallo of the entertainments
and has recently added a water carnival to
tbo program. The all-night smoker will beheld
held In Mechanics' pavilion , ono of the larg
est buildings In Boston , and the program for
It Is now complete.
The League- American Wheelmen claims
tbo following distinguished members : Gov
ernor Roosevelt , Mayor Van Wyck , Mayor
Taggart of Indianapolis , Governor Rollins
of iNew Hampshire , Mayor Hayes of Balti
more , 'Mayor Qulncy of Boston , ex-Secretary

The membership of the I.oague of Ameri
can Wheelmen last week , according to the
report ot Secretary Baasett , shows a falling
off. The total figures are 67,045. Laet week
the total vsai 8,143 , The number ot new

Ono of the features of cjcle racing thU
rcnr on has ben the number of old'tlmo
riders to get back Into the game again.
Zimmerman was the first ono of note to
return to the racing path nnd now he Is to
bo followed by Pred Titus , W. W. Taxi * nnd
Harry Wheeler , so the report goes. Titus
has only been out of the game about a year
and ns ho Is comparatively joung yet ho
may do better ttmn "Zlntmj" has done so
far. Titus started out early last Reason to
become nn actor , but as the audience *
evinced no great desire to go Into raptures
over bin acting , he has decided to go back
to the wheel ngalti. Tnxls has been out of
the gamp for three jears , the same length
of tlmo ns Zimmerman , nnd ho W K one of
the most popular riders on the intli at the
time he retired. Wheeler wns the cham
pion of the Cash Prize league. In 1S93 nnd
nftcrwnrd went to 1'rnnco with Zimmerman ,
winning regularly on the Frentti tracks for
two jcars. It Is expected that Wheeler and
Taxis will start to train In n few dnvs nt
the Newark trnck nnd that they will take
part In the regular Saturday and Sunday
mccls at that place during the rest of the
season.
There Is a largo clnss of riders wtio when
traveling a-wheel suflcr dire thirst nnd
throat parching , because of their overheating
exertions and the dust of the rend , but who
deny themaolves the satisfaction of drink
ing. Foe these tlu-ro Is comfort In ttio views
ot Dr. L. Champlonlero ot Paris , who sajs
that when riding a man or woman should
drink all the wntcr possible , but should
eatT'no solid food. He declares that while
It la useless to eat during violent exercise ,
It Is Important to drink If the body Is In
good condition. This la In direct contradic
tion to the notions ot other physicians , but
It Is lu conccid with the experience of some
riders , who Indulge themselves In the line
of drinking water nnd find that they nro the
better for It. Whllo It would undoubtedly
make n racing man "loggy" to drink Just
before starting In competition , there are
many hard riders who can drink copiously
whllo traveling. Others never do more than
rinse out their mouths and throats nnd de
clare that they could not ride It they drank.
Whllo doctors disagree and expediences con-
lllct over this matter of drinking and riding
It Is probably juet as well thtit riders should
not bo bound by any prejudice created by
the testimony of others , but should experi
ment and ascertain whether It Is better to
drink freely or abstain. So long as the
needs of different temperaments and con
stitutions vary there Is not likely to bo any
agreement on this subject.
An international code of communication
'between ' cyclists Is an excellent Idea. A
plan has been devised In Paris on the Morse
systoin of telegraphy. The strokes are made
on the bell , following a code like this :
Greeting
Haiti
Followme
Call Where are you ?
Here I am
Go to the right
Oo to the left
Look out ; danger ! . . .
Come to my assist
ance
A whole conversation book could be
prepared on this system ; so , when you go
touring in central ( Africa and meet a cycling
cannibal whose language you cannot speak ,
all you have to do Is to pull out the code
book , lay hold of the bell , and have a tink
ling conversation 'with ' him. This Is better
than Volapuk.
Providing your watch has a minute dial
it Is an extremely simple matter to so mark
this as to be used as a speed indicator , no
matter what gear jour machine is.
Find out the distance your cycle Is pro
pelled toy one revolution of the pedal. This ,
assuming jour gear to bo 70 , will be 219.9
Inches.
Divide this number Into C3.3CO ( the num
ber of Inches In one mile ) , nnd the product
will , of course , glvo you the number of
revolutions jou must make to cover a mile
viz. , 288 and a slight fraction.
If It were posslblo to turn the crank 288
times per minute thla would of course mean
that you were driving your cycle at the rate
of one mile per minute , or sixty miles per
hour.
Seventy-two revolutions per minute would
consequently mean that you were traveling
nt the rate of a quarter of a mile per minute ,
or fifteen miles per hour.
Therefore , still assuming that your gear
is 70 , If you mark off , with a distinguishing
color , twelve and a half seconds of the min
ute-dial of your watch , nnd count the num
ber of revolutions your crank makes whllo
the minute-hand Is passing over this col
ored portion of the dial , It will represent
the numher of miles per hour you are trav
eling.
