Manager Knurko finally decided upon the
personnel of his team Just prior to leaving
thla week and released Dillon and Leflore,
candidates for positions on tho pitching
staff, Korrls and MeCausland. Leflore failed
to monouro up to the expectations of the
loent fans who had anticipated wonders from
him, owing to his high rating by Jack
Crooks. Tho youngster wad hardly more
than a school Iwiy and may yet develop Into
a ball player, but needo to acquire a whole,
lot of experience boforo he can break Into
tho ranks of profofulonal b.-wo ball.

If anyone han entertaine'I the Idea that
Omaha's portlng contingent takes tio Inter
cut in tho popular sport furnlnhcd by stuffed
gloV' gladiators In the squared circle, that
belief hiM certainly lx?n dispelled If the
doubting olio ha chanced to drop Into Frank
Handle's where seatH fcr the Supplcs-Abbott
contest hnve been on pale, or Into any of
the rettorta In tho city whore sportsmen are
wont to congregate Tho twenty-round fight
between these two clever llghtwolghtu ut
Wnihlhgton hnll tomorrow night has been
altnetit the sole topic of conversation in
Hportlng eirelee nnd the rehabilitation of the
game under the nusplccu of the Omaha
Athletic club U hailed with delight.
The promotetH of tho affair guarantee that
the eontcitt will be on the level, that It will
be a sclontlflr exhibition of all the good
points In tho fighting gnnio by two students
of flstology. who nro candidates, for cham
pionship degree'. Doth Supples and Ab
bott possfm clean, unsullied records. Abbott
has engaged In any numbpr of contostH, In
the majority of eases with puglllMs of repn
tatlcn, and ban been signally nuccraatul. He
has eonllned hl operations almost ex
clusively to thp I'aclllc coapt eltlcs, his home
bring In Victoria, II. C, and nlong the coast
he Is lo ked upon as a lighter whoso name
' good to compare with. Abbott Is snld to
be an nrtlut In ring1 methods. Ho Is active
and nleri. ever on tho outlook for an ad
vantageous opportunity. Above all, he p
nmbltli.us. Young and energetic, possessed
of a constitution of Iron, he nspirts to light
weight honors and toward the attainment of
this end he hnn been striving.
In this respect bo Im on the same footing
with Supples for Curlcy. too, has ambition
Hint bad him to covet the lightweight cham
pionship. Ctirley has tho better of his ad
versary of Monday night, for the reason
that he is better known In the east and
Iikm participated In engagements with the
best In his clars. Ileallzlng this, It Is be
lieved that Abbi'tt will put up the light of his
llfo Monday night for, In caso ho should de
feat Supples, he would Immediately spring
into tho prominence which Supples' ring
career hn given him.
Supples halls from lluffalo and ho has
done battle with tho best of tho men in
hid class. Ili.i flghta with Jim Topp, Kmll
Sanchez, Jeff Powers airl other well known
eastern performers have stamped the HufTalo
youngster as a high grade lighter who will
mnko his mark In his ehoo?n profenslon.
Sturdy of build, ho hns a good roach, Is
clover to an exceptional degree, a splendid
fort worker, hard puncher and a ring general
par excellence. Following his light with
Abbott. Monday night. Supples is booked
to meet Otto Sloloff In a twenty-round con
test at Akron, 0.. Frldny night and next
Monday night he ngaln faces Jim Popp, this
tlmo for twenty or more rounds nt Detroit.
Should Supples win his light with Popp, nnd
bo I absolutely confident of success, tho
Cadlllnc Athletic club of Detroit will offer
a big purse for a meeting bt-i.een Supples
and Frank Krne.
Washington hnll has been prepared for the
contest tomorrow night and excellent ar
rangements nnd accommodations havo bcon
provided. There has been uu active demand
for neats and tho Initial fight of tho Omaha
Athletic club promises to bo a success In
every particular. Patay Fallon will refere
tho bout. Spud Farrlsh, matchmaker for
tho club, Ih negotiating -with Terry Mc
(lovern. Tommy White nnd noveral other
topnotcbers for future exhibitions nnd tho
new club proposes that Omaha shall no
longer be designated as the "deadest" sport
ing city on tho continent.
"Hob" FltzslmmoiiH, he of Carson City
fame, did a little pugilistic stunt over In
Now York last Monday night Just to show
tho wise ones that he was still In tho ring.
It was not Miich a fight as tho votarlea of
tho fistic arena liked to fee, for Fltz's op
ponent, Kd Dunkhnrst, was considered by
no means a likely candidate for the ex
clinmplnn. Along In tho middle of tin. sec
ond round Fltz coolly laid tho Syracuso giant
away without further ado. Tho contest
showed ouo thing. It showed Fltzttlmmona
to bo In lit condition, weighing about 190
pounds nnd In possession of many of thh
rng tactics which mado him fatuous In
years gone by. Ills coming contest with
Cuh lluhltn will bo awaited with no little
Interest and tho ee-chnmpion may provo
himself entitled to consideration tii a cham
pionship candidate onco more.
Two knock-outs In ono wuek Isn't so bad.
That's what Oscar flardner did last week,
winning tlm bantamweight championship In
the llrst and ably uUilnlng It In the sec
ond. Monday night Oardner anil Pntf?y
Haley met In Cincinnati and flardner was
nn easy winner, clearly outclassing tho
former bantamweight champion nt every
htnge of tho game. His victory Thursday
night In IjoiiIhvIIIm was even more to bo
desired by the Omaha Kid, for tho reason
" Here at last is information from a high medical source

llltlo fighters In the business, Eddie Santry.
This go wn a lively ono and Santry had a
trifling advantage all tho way through until
tho opportunity for n km:k-out presontcei
llwlf to (lardnor nnd he grasped It without
hedtntljn. In both fights Gnrdner landed
tho knock-out In the fifth round.
Inamiuch as no statements to the con
trary havo as yet boon Issued, It l pre
sumed that tho Joffrleu-Corbctt fight will
take plure in New York next Friday night.
From the standpoint of public Interest nnd
enthusiasm tho forthcoming mill Is cor
tnlnly a "dead one." for It linn excited little
moro comment during the last week than
wcro It a icrap between a couple of natives
In Hawaii. However. It the match Is pulled
olT, and there Is ground for doubting that It
will be, It may serve as a surprls.. 0rbett
assertfi that the public believes lie will bo
a short stayer and consoniently the public
rhouldn't be dlsapolnted If ho Is. Hut op
tlmb'tlc "Pompadour Jim" confidently be
lieves that ho will surprlfe tho "dear pub

of course, that Jeffrica will retain the cham
pionship title and it seems nccetsary that
better material bo selected for tho purpoea
of 'defeating him than Is yet slated for a
meeting with tho heavyweight ruler of tho
squared circle.

OUNTO.V, In., May &. To tho Sporting
Editor of Tho lice: (lolf, the great Bco'.ch
gamo. Is becoming very popular In Iowa and
there are now In tho neighborhood of twenty
well organized clubs In the state, with ad
equate links, well appointed club bouses anil
all tho paraphernalia requisite for this
fascinating and expensive game. Ten of the
clubs wore In n high stnte of activity and
prosperity at the end . of last smson and
tho others were organized during the present
year. There. Is a total of S00 members, ix
largo percentage of whom, hnvo achieved
a comparatively creditable style.
The location of the clubs with tho date of
organization nnd membership Is as follows:
Keokuk, organized 1SS8, membership, 200;
Dubuque, organized 1898, membership, 100;
Darlington, organized 1S99, memberFhlp 123;
lies Molnesi. organized 18!)7, membership
125; Sioux City, organized 1S'J9, membership
100; Marahalltown, organized 1898, member
ship 100; I.e.Mnrs, organized 1899, member
ship 75; Clinton, organized 1899. member
ship 2B; Davenport, organized H93, member
ship 100: Cedar Haplds, organized 1895, mem
bership 150.
All of these clubs hnvo expressed a dealre
to enter Into a state association In order
to maintain the gamo on a sportsmanlike
basis and for tho purposo of holding tourna
ments, nnd there has been some correspond
ence toward this end. Tne state tourna
ment Is now an established fact and tho
only point of difference Is as to Its loca
tion. Cedar Rapids has ono of tho oldest
clubs In tho state and excellent greens nnd
therefore feels Justllled In urging the golfers
to accept Its hospitality. Tho Collar
Haplds club will havo a modern club house
completed this season.
Tho Des Moines Oolf nnd Country club
hs also expressed itself as moro than
willing to entertain tho llrst state, tourna
ment. It Is well established, has a strong
membership and last year built a comfort
able club house. Tho field lies two and one
half miles from the city, but 1b ncccsslblo
by street car. Dubuquo Is In thn lists with
nn association comprising nearly 100 mem
bers. The lliiKH aro among tho best In Iowa
and a new club house has Just been erected
at a cost of about Jl.oOO. Murshalltown from
the first has been keen for tho honor of tho
proposed meet and no city In the state has
shown a more sportsmanlike zeal for tho
game. The length of Its nine-hole course Is
2,171 yards nnd among the natural hazards
are two ponds which mut bo crossed threo
times nnd a dyke four feet high with a for
midable ditch on either side.
Tho club nt Keokuk has tho use of thirty
acres of ground, occupied by n good sized
club boiifio. The Clinton club has nn Inter
esting nnd hazardous course of nine holes
with water Juhirs, sand bunkers nnd stono
road. In tho course, lies what Is probably
the lengcst hole In the state. Gilt yards. The
club has a Miinll locker house, but for social
purposes tho tine house of the Town-Country
club near by Is at tho disposal of the golfers.
Tho IiMars course, which Is used to a
large extent by players In that section of
tho state, hnn been considerably Improved
nnd Is In an excellent condition. Tho llnkn
wore opened one yenr ago and members havo
been seen on' tho course. If not evory day,
at lenBt every week since, which Is n re
markable record for tha bllzzardy north-

Tho whist tournament which hns be n
carried on during tho winter came to a
virtual conclusion on last Tuea lay night, (lus
llenzo holding the high scoro. II. J. Scanne'l
ran a closo second and may still capture
nrst honors provided the approaching con
test with Connrll Bluffs Is counted In tho
score. During tho last two months the
fifty original players dwindled to sixteen, as
the strong gradually outstripped the weak.
Tho contest with Council niuffs will probi
hly occur on Tuesday and a number of tho
Oaaba players desire that the meo'lnts
should be the climax of tho winter's tourna
ment. The Omaha Elks expect to make a
much better showing In tho next meeting
with Council niuffs than In the last, wh-n
the .V-brnskans were Inglorlnusly wcrated,
The local lodge feoU tAat It was somewhat
