The Importance of all this from a local
Ftaudpoint can leadlly bo appreciated. The

hardest one of the trio to deal with , as ho

objections ho may make , however , will be
overcome.
.Minneapolis , St. Paul and Kansas City
each has a large sporting contingent that de
mands a first-claps grndo of base hall and
thn support accorded the game In the past '
ha been of the best. The only way open .
fo the icallzatlon of this demand for pro- '
ball lies Ihiough the medium of
newly organised Western league.
"With thcso conditions present It Is puerile
to uduinco the clTiin that the Western league
Is alreaily tottering on the btlnk of ruin. No
base ball organl/.atlon ever had brighter
piospcets. U Is true that Lincoln has drop
ped out and this mo\o was a most sensible
one It was found that sufTlcIent financial
support for the team was not forthcoming
and the promoters of the team wisely con
cluded to drop out on the start rather than
'to ' enter the season with poor prospects of
j being able to finish. DCS Molnes , too , will
probably not be .1 member of the league , as
I was originally Intended. Hut with Mlnne-
aiolls , St. IMul and Kansas City one of the
Fttoi'pifit organizations e\er effected In the
woit will bo possible. The remaining live
cltle. In the circuit will probably bo Omaha ,
Slou\ City , St. Joseph , Deiner and I'ueblo.
Tin1 only questionable city Is Pueblo. The
| fccelblllty of admitting It to membership lies
In the fact that It Is located In the ilclnlty
of Deiuer and the teams making the long
Jump from the Missouri rhcr to the Heckles
I \.n\Hd \ bo able tn play with two cities before

With the sporting fr.iteinlty and followers
of pugilism the all-alM'jrbing matter of In-
tuest now Is the big battle between McCoy
and Maher on New Year's afternoon. Opin
ion as to what Iho result will bo Is about
evenly divided. Mahcr afpeits with n con-
lldent nir that the battle will end before the
i fifteenth lotiml. McCoy , on the other hand ,
to be IIH positive , but merely predicts
that the fight will not go to the limit. As U
usual In such cases , each declares that ho
will be the winner.
Thu meeting between the Irishman and the
JOUHK boosH- promises to bo , i battle lojnl.
.Strength and hitting power mo In favor of
the Iilshman , but In the matter of science
thu boyish American Is I't-terVi superior.
Mnber Is by no means u coarse slugger. Ho
Is clever to u degree , but as compared vvlih
SUCoy ho is by no means In the hitter's
class. Mahcr has to depend almost entirely
upon hlti hitting qualities to EIOIO ,1 victory.
Mnhor sn > ho will force the fighting from
tbJ start and expects to land often enough
to bcoro a ejnlck victory. In epcaklng of Mu-
, Coy's ( [ Unities .Mahcr wild :
i "Tho 'Kid1 Is without doubt acry clover ,
sl.Ifty lighter. He hi also very game , but he
j can't eland punishment , on Intn hi- frail
fr.'ino und constitution. I ean afford to tnko
nt leant thico of Ills blows In ardor tn land
nno. if 1 lould hold ShurKor safe why
shouldn't I boat McCoy ? J think the light
will be u fast and shall one. It will bo no
fault of in I no if It la not over Inside of fif
teen rounds. "
McCoy realUea thnt Maker tan hit n tor-
rifle blow anil inflict ovcre punishment
whenever Jio lands , but McCoy does not tblnU
that Maher can lay n glnvo on him. At
! ( least the "Kid" bas great confidence in hli
ability to avoid .Mehor's famous swings , that
have sent many ambitious pugilists to sleep.
' Hi believes that bo can * tap Maher In
| about ten rounds. So euro la McCoy of tit -
In big cnmltig ciircuntcr that ho ptir-
to have a near dido bet on the result
when he enteiH the ring
Mjhcr who ha. > btiii naming with gicat
care for the conte.-t during the l.iHt month
near the Morris Park Hating track , Is In
good phyalt.il trim. The Irishman when
weighed lipped the scales nt 10 ! ' pounds.
His musde.f arc as haul as n lock and ho
looks the picture of health.
McCoy , who has been doing his training
at Muldoon's place on the outskirts of
White Plains , is also In good condition. He
weighs 171 pounds , which Is nineteen
pounds more than he scaled when ho fought
ShnrKey. Ho said his health is now at
the best , and , altogether , he never felt In
bolter shape for a battle. Ho is cnulidont
of defeating thn Irishman nnd t.ajH thnt
Maher will find him equally at homo at
close us well ns long-range fighting.

"What do jou moan ? " said Horrid. "Did

"That Is all the money I have out of Iho

"True , thu Chicago team , owing to the

"The quality of tackles has averaged
higher this year than last. Warner of Iowa
Is almost as good as Curtis of Wisconsin , and
altogether the best of the others. Kcnne-dy ,
captain of Chicago , was not a good field
geneial , and If such a man an Clyde Wil
liams , quartmback of Iowa , were on a team
Kennedy would propoily go back to half ,
Williams was , In fact , the only good all-

The Omaha Medical college foot ball
team , a picture of which recently appeared
In the Hlustiatcd supplement of The Bee ,
dates Its oiganlzatlon only slnco the mld-
dlo of the last onuson. It has played but
two gami'M thin bcaeon , both of which It
won. The first game -was with Hellovtm
college , with but two weeks' practice and
without the benefit of an experienced coach
The game was hard fought and won by thr >
Hinnll bi-oro of n-O. At this time Dan Tay
lor was hired to couch the team , In thren
weeks , under Taylor's guidance , the team
developed n stone wall line and an excel
lent hack field. A game with Crclghton was
then arranged anil took place nt the Young
Men's ( Jlirlstlnn Ansoclatlon park. The
Omaha Medical college gained a decisive
victory , which was made principally on ft
strong dcfcnho and guard and tackle
tmiashcs. The Crelghtan team was unahln
cither to open up the line or to stop the
line hucka of the Omaha team.
The rcbiilt of the game wan tn awaken
enthusiasm among the faculty , alumni
and I ho studenln of the Omaha Medical col
lege mid the foot ball team IIH a result has
come to be a permanent Institution In the

accoutrements necessary for Its une. Al-
inobt the entire team will return next year
with the exception of Joffcrfcon , right end ,
