N'orth Omaha people which may rcwult In
the etdcctlon of a silo In the north part o!

ercd the bint location, owing to Its conven
lent situation, being easily accessible to both
Omaha and gouth Omaha patrons of tho
KUtne. It Is hardly probablo that any other
slto will lie cnoscn.
Tho managers of the Omaha team are In

favorite ball players who wero with the
Omaha, teams In the palmy days of base
ball In this city. It Is likely that contractu

Manngor Kourke, who will have charge of
tho selection of tho players, wishes to as
Biiro tho local fans that tho Omaha team will
be composed of only A No. 1 material,
capablo of putting up professional ball In
tho IllghrRt (loRreo of perfection. Thu teams
of tho Western league will have no scm
bianco of amateurism whutevcr. There will
be nn abundance of good basu .ball players
on tho market for next season, especially
slnco the proposed American nssoclntlon has
collaptiVd, and thus removed tho possibility
of tho best players being gobbled up by tho
major organizations. Tho salaries paid by
and tho character of tho Western league will
appeal to many of tho top-notcherj In the

posing tho circuit of tho now league will

Tho report bus gained circulation that
Colorado Springs und Ieadvllle will apply

PALAVER OF
THE PUGILISTS

It Is a dlillcult matter for one to deter
mine Juat when and wIicto the bout for
championship honors between the two
heavyweight pugilist. Champion James
Jeffries nnd ex-f'hamplon James Corbett, !s
going to tako place. Today a certain date ,
Is nnnounced, but, basing the belief upon i
past experience, tomorrow Is Just as likely :
ns not to bring forth n now date. The latest '
ndvlces ftom tho war ofllco state that tho
battlti will come off without fall .May 11.
There la no accounting for tho varying opin
io lia of tho followers of tlstlanln. Two weeks
ago pugilistic Interest was centered In tho
Jcffrlus-Corbett tight. Today this Interest
Is on tho wann nnd desplto tho emphatic
assertion that the mill will bo held May 11
thero aro some wise heads who have no
hesitancy In declaring that even If It does
take placo then It will bo un affair unworthy
of support
V
Just where. and why this feeling of sus
picion and opposition to tho JeffNes-Corbett
fight originated It would bo hard to say.
Hut tho fact exists, nevertheless, that there
Is such a feeling of distrust, and It is con
Herd by no meann to a smnll number of ring
followers. It has never been clearly estab
lished why Consldlne and Hrndy. tho re
spective) managers of Cotbett und Jeffries,
wero able so easily to nrrango the match.
Especially Is It mysterlourt why Ilrudy and
Jeffries agreed to a fight with Corbett. Tho
latter was supposed to have been effectually
disposed of when his championship title was
wrested from him by Hob Kltzslmmons.
I'rior to that time he was considered the
embodiment of sclentlllc pugilism. Since
then he has done nothing to entitle him to
consideration In the pugilistic world. Thero
nro few who bullevo that Corbett will last
much longer than a mlnuto. figuratively
t peaking, when ho meets Jeffries In the ring.
This belief is provisional, however, with
Jcfrrles putting up such a light ns ho 1j
capable of doing and such as he did when
he; met Tom Sharkey. Hut will ho do It?
That's the problem, und upon Its solution,
depends whether the Jeftrle-Corbett light
wll' bo a disgraceful bout In the annals of
pugilism or a fair, clean-cut exhibition of
prlzo fighting between otic of tho Hen est
lighters the ring has ever produced nnd a
"hns-bcen" whom fow consider otherwise
than u decidedly presumptuous egotist. I'or
thero can bo no gainsaying tho fact that
Corbett Is presuming a great deal In con
senting to enter tho ring with Jeffries. Tho
diligent training in preparation Tor the fight
h may Indulge In will hardly sulllco for
tils meg oi practice aim experience; uuiiuk i
the last two years. This writer predicts
that If tho fight is on the level Corbett
will be metel put such punishment ns has
rarely fnllen to tlm lot of a modem prlzo
lighter. Hut again, tho suspicion arises, and
tho question forms Itself lnvoluntnrlly, will
Jeffries fight his beat, or will be sully his
puglllstlo career in Its comparative Infancy
by being a party to a disgraceful deal
whereby Corbett will bo dealt with leniently?
Kor the Mike of tho sport It Is to be hoped
that theno suspicions nro without foundation,
but nothing other than tho light Itself will
effectually do away with them.
t ml I l-nn ilv nnil hv Innuendo. Oc-orco Slier.
the well known refereo and sporting au
thority, lends disapprobation to mo jennci
Corbett. match. Slier has long held nn en
vlnblo position In the circles of pugilism,
and It would bo unfair to state that his
opinion of tho forthcoming light Is biased
by his prejudice. Tho fact remains, never
theiejs, that Tie feels keenly tho selection
of another referee to preside over the con
test. This refereo business Is another matter
that has aroused disgust on the part of the
devotees of pugilism. Thoro,can bo but little
doubt that Slier would himself havo been
chosen wero It not for the dissenting opin
ions created by his award of tho decision
to Jeffries in his light with Sharkey. Hecauae
ho was coldly turned down
by Managers Consldlne and Ilrady und Sam
Austin, n New York sporting writer. u
..iu.i,i ir.iYHi.9 InsMts that ho will not
fight If Austin is tho referee, which Is
equivalent to an assertion that Slier must be
tho refereo or no win not, coiisnn. iu mo
match. It is unlikely, howover. Hint Slier
will bo chosen, and If Jeffries Insists in his
opposition to Austin somo dark horso will,
probably be sprung to preside over tho mill.
Terry McCovern, that terrlblo little
fighter from nronklyn, will meet Oscar Gard
ner March 0 nt tho Ilroadway Athletic club
In Now York. The decision Is ns good as
rendered right now. nnd Onrdner Is a long
wny from tho featherweight championship.
JuJging Oardner from tho showing ho mado
In Chicago last week when ho mot Tommy
White, ho will be mighty easy money for
Mcdovern, and It Is not likely that ho will
bo In the game nt any stnge. Interest In
tho light, of course, Is aroused -wholly be
cause Mcflovorn will participate In It and
it will simply mean that another feather
weight scalp will bo dangling at his belt
after the conclusion of tho match. Tho bout
Is scheduled to go tVenty-llvo rounds, but
If McOovcrn forces tho fight nnd Oardner Is
In no better form than bo was In his go
with Whlto It will probubly be over In
thrco or four rounds nt best.
Frank Krno, tho clever lightweight cham
pion, has consented to a match with Joo
Oaus, nnd tho match Is creating considerably
more Interest than tho heavyweight cham
pionship mill that Is, scheduled for May.
Krno nnd Onnn aro tho best men In. their
claBS. They havo never met, but each has a
history In the ring warranting tho presump
tion Hint tho fight will be a rcmarkablo ex
hibition of pugilism as presented by two
expert cxponeuts of tho sport. Honors nro
considered about even on tho start nnd If
thero uro nny odds offered In tho betting It
will certainly bo a surprise.
Jack Hoot, -who claims tho tltlo of "unde
feated middleweight champion of tho west,"
effectually, though unscientifically, put nwny
an eastern aspirant far his placo In the
pugilistic lino of succession In Chicago last
week. Ed Dcnfnss of Philadelphia was tho
victim. Tho light Is sold to havo been even
a orso article of pugilism than tho Mc
Intyro-Carrol affair, which was pulled off In
Omnha ten days ago. It wns a "fight" In tho
most liberal Interpretation of the term, al
though what llttlo scjenco was dlBp,lnyed was
oxhlblted by Hoot. In the fqdrth round ho
put nn end to tho furious strugglo by knock
ing his opponent completely out,
Tom Sharkey defeated Jim Jeffords so de
cisively In their bout at Detroit last week
that tho affair Is entitled to but llttlo proml
nonco in a chronological review of tho week
ill pugilism. U bhOWCU, nowever, mm au.il- ,
key Is possessed of the samo cleverness ho :
exhibited when ho stayed out the twenty-
five rounds In his match with Jeffries. Tho
possibilities In whl.-h Sharkey figures now
indicate n match with either Hob Kltzslm
monH or Kid McCoy. With the latter thero
can bo no doubt of tho oittcotno wero such
a match arranged. Sharkey ought to walk
off with a victory without halt trying. He
defeated McCoy once, but oven were that not
tho caso his rocent ring record would Justify
tho opinion that McCoy would last about as
long as n snowball In a hot climate. If tho
McCoy match Is arranged, which Sharkey's
mnnagcr soems especially desirous of, V'ltz
klmmoiiH will nrobably bo taken on later. A
so that an eight-club schedule could bo
dcr process of preparation.
nintch between Sharkey and I'ltzslmmons
would bo an easy wny of deciding whom tho
next candidate for championship honors
shall be. Itthcr Sharkey or ritr.slmmnns
will probably forco Jeffries 1 1 n match
after his go with Corbett snd should the
two meet before the decision Is made as to
which shall be taken on by the champion,
tho ylctor would nnturally be the one en
titled to recognition. It wilt be much of a
surprise, too, If the demands of the pugllls-tlcnlly-lncllncd
public do not result In an
early -match between Sharkey nnd Jeffries.
This, on the presumption, of course, that tho
former defeats Kltzslmmons. should a match
botween thorn be arranged. Judging from
Sharkey's recent career In the squared circle
'ho ought not only to be the favorite In a
match with Kltzslmmons, but ought, with
out great difficulty, prove the better man.
Then another match with Jeffries Is prac
tically assured, and such nn exhibition would
undoubtedly create more genuine interest
and excitement than any match Unit could
possibly be made. Kor Sharkey "has lots of
friends who hnvo nn abiding faith In his
nblllty to turn tho tables on Jeffries If he be
given another chance. Perhaps he would
not, but It must be confessed thnt the show
ing he made when he stood up before the
present champion In their famous mill, nnd
received the terrific punishment meted out
to him nnd In turn administered n llttlo
of tho samo brand to Jeffries, nt tho end
having a strong sentiment supporting him
In tho belief that It should have been n
draw, entitles him to more than passing
consideration. Until Jeffries proves, If ho
can, thnt the disputed decision was the right
one, by ngnln defeating Sharkey, there tiro
many devotees of llstlanla. who will never
rest contonted nor recognize him ns cham
pion heavyweight pugilist of the world.

tunity no admirer of tho game could afford
to miss. Lincoln chess players were, of
coutse, almost to a man, present nt both
exhibitions, which were held In tho senate

Tuesday evening was devoted to a simul

plnyed thirty-five games of chess and five
of checkers. At chess he lost three ganuvt.
drew six and won twenty-six. M. J. Wil

Hurlburt one. Thoso winning at chess from
the champion were: Judge Davidson nnd
Mr. Heuvls, playing In consultation; and S.

nnd Judge Sedgwick und W. W. 'Wyckoff

The greatest Interest was manifested In

ing, when Mr. l'lllsbury Iduyc.d twelvo
gnmcH of chess and two of checkers with
out seeing tho Ixiards, winning both checker
gatnc'H and ton games of chess, losing one
and drawing one. P. J. Barron of Lincoln
defeated the champion by a masterly de
fense of tho queen's gambit declined, and
W. E. Hardy of' Lincoln succeeded In draw
ing a game after losing a clear pleco. C. W.
Corey, one of Lincoln's strongest amateurs,
attempted a most erratic nnd Irregular de

play," but soon discovered that tho cham
pion could tnko adviintngo of weak moves

tho bnnrds.
M." L. Joyce succeeded In cHlabllshlng a

to how l'lllsbury could break it up with

GOLF BY ENGLISH CHAMPION
Hurry Vurilmi SnrprlscM A nii-Hcnim
Willi II Im Trentc minim Drive
Muy Aincnr ill SI. I.iiiiln,
Champion Vardon, tho English golfer, who
has been giving somo excellent exhibitions
of golf In Florida and other southern states,
Is working his way westward and will proba
bly appear over the links nt St Louis within
a few weeks. In discussion Vardon, tho New
York Sun says:
"Vardon's advantage In driving when ho
meets n first class player Is sometimes, but
very seldom, offset by weakness it the
shorter strokes, but it Is accepted among
tho players of Orcat Hrltaln that Vardon'a
superior work on the teo gives to him nn
advantage of three or (our strokes on a
round of eighteen holes. This supremacy
was forcibly demonstrated In the foursome,
one of tho greatest matches of tho decade,
played nt Canton Inst July, between John
Ball, Jr.. nnd Vardon, representing England,
arid K. O. Tall ond Willie. Park. Jr.. who
played for Scotland. Tho Englishmen won
by flvo up and four to play, nt thlrty-slx
holes. Oolf Illustrated stated In Its report-
" 'Tho only person who may fairly be
blamed for the result Is Harry Vardon, the
Jersey Jehu, whose driving was quite fright
ful to sen nnd calculated to n pji.il I even the
stoutest-hearted.'
"Not only is Vardon's driving most con
sistent, but ho Is nlso unrivaled In direction
nnd distance. Others may outdrive him nt
times, but no ond enn hold him for stead ness
nnd slrnlghtnes. To quote George Low, the
Dyker meadow professional, who has met
Vnrdon" Hi open competitions, the tee shot
sends tho ball over the direction flag every
time. 'It Is heart-breaking,' added Ijow, 'to
whoever Is ngnlnst him, for the man never
goes to right or left, but only and always
Just In the right place.' "
BIG BOWLING TOURNAMENT
llr-t utcc of Till I-'iincIiiiiI Iiik Sport
Aro AvtultliiK Vi'tv York Tourna
ment xtlli Much Intercut.
Tho International bowling tournament to
bo held under the nusplcea of tho United
Howling clubs of New York City, nt Union
Hill park, a suburb of tho metropolis, during
the week of July 15 to 22. is causing wide
spread Intctest among tho army of bowlers
throughout the country.
Tho star rollers In nearly every city that
boasts of ono or more alleys are banding
themselves together nnd organizing Into
clubs to attend tho big carnival. It Is al
ready safo to eay that there Is uot ono of
them that does not feel confident of return
ing home with one or moro of the $10,000
worth of prizes at stake, not even hinting ut
whero tho ninny ehntnplonshlps that nro to
bo divided will go.
Probnbly the greatest rivalry exists be
tween the bowlers of the two greutest bowl
Ihg' cities In tho union Now York nnd Chi
cago. Tho westerners claim that since they
have taken to tho same stylo of game nnd
nro using the samo kind of alleys, so long In
vogue in the east, they havo becomo ns pro
ficient In rolling thu wooden sphere, ns any
eastern combination of pin-knlghts.
The bowlers the Gothamltes fear most are
tho teams and Individuals who will come
from cities that nro not considered on tho
"bowling map." Hero Is whero they aro
wise, for it Is generally the team that has
no world-wldo reputation that steals In and
lands tho lending prizes In events of this
kind.
It Is surprising what an ntnount of Interest
Is being shown In the carnival by ull the
bowlers from tho minor cities. True, the
greatest number of teams will come from
the lnrgest cities, but tho smaller ones arc
going to be well represented.
Notwithstanding tho fact that it takes a
few days to Journey from the Rocky moun
tains to tho jccne of battle, all the lending
cities between that point and the Mississippi
river will have one or moro bowlers on
hand.
It Ir. hardly probablo that St. Louis will bo
represented In imany of tho American strlko
and spare or In tho head-pin ten-pin game.
Their favorite gamo le cocked hat and they
bellevo they will clean up nil tho leading
prizes In that particular event, but It Is not
Bnfo for them to feel too certain about this,
because Binco tho big tournament was first
amiounced scmo of tho big ten-plu teams
throughout the country havo drawn a thirty-elx-inch
lino through their alloys nnd are
rapidly getting tho Idea of how the game of
cocked hnt should bo plnyed.
Tho Interest tho fair sex Is showing In the
tournament is not any less than that of their
sterner friends. Women's clubs aro spring
ing up Uko mushrooms nil over tho country
and from present Indications there. Is some,
ilnubt as to whether tho number of women
bowlers who will competo In tho Individual
nnd ttfaiii emte&ts sot aside for them will
not bo as large as for tho men.
Tho first prominent entry received came
last week. It was ono from Miss Roso M.
Murray of Toledo, O., tho acknowledged
woman champion bowler of tho world. Only
a short time ngo Bhc added now laurels te
her credit by defeating W. V. Thompson of
Chicago.
A bowling contest between teams rep
resenting Omaha nnd Council Htuffs was In
prospect at ono tlmo last week, but final
arrangements for tho match wero not mado.
n., f ihn hnutiii-H from Council Hltlffs vls-
! Red Omaha recently and took occasion to
watch tho bowling of somo of Omaha's ox-
..nt-la It., wna Rll iliimfounded with sur-
! prlso at tho splendid exhibition Uint ho re
turned across tho river, carrying neiwu oi
divers wonderful performances with the
bowls of tho Omaha followers of tho gamo
and slnco then tho Council Hltlffs mon have
expressed n disinclination to participate In
a contest. Consequently tho gamo was
called off.
Tho best Individual scorn mndo In Omiaha
last week was that of Will Redlck, whr
scored thirteen straight at nine pins. This
Is tho second bent Individual scoro of the
season, tho first having been made by Char
He Lent., who scored nineteen straight nt
nine pins,
W. H. Emery has organized a team of local
bowlers and challenges any Nebraska club
to a gamo of nine- or ten pins for $26 n sido.
Thu men besides Mr. Emery composing the
team aro Mr. lleselln, Tom Rums, Dan Tay
lor and Ed Hltcbmnn.
Harry Symcs has taken a five-year IcaBe
on Moraud'a dancing ncadomy on Hnrney
street, botween Fifteenth and Sixteenth, and
Intends to convert It Into an up-to-date
bowling alley nnd billiard room. A twenty-fpur-foot
addition will bo built on tho west
of tho building and six regulation alloys will
bo put In, two of which will bo for women.
Mr. Symcs will also havo twelvo regulation
billiard tables. Work on tho Improvements
of tho building will begin bb soon ns tho
weather will pcrml and tho bowling alloy
and billiard room will bo ready for opening
In tho spring.
