I'rovlous to Monday nicht's exhibition tho
nrndletlnn was frimlv made, that the tlmo I way loft to encourage sporting events In
for a resuscitation of tin. ? uuarcd circle j Omaha and that is for everyone to polnt-
amtiKomcnt waa rlpo In Omaha. That this
prediction was truo wan moro than borno
cut by tho splendid attendance at this af
fair. Whether or not tho unsatisfactory fon
(duslon of tho llrst pugilistic ovent held In
Omaha In eight years will havo a tendency
to oporate ngalnst future events In which
stulfcd-glovo gladiators will bo tho prin
cipals Is a matter of divergent opinion. It
certainly did tho gamo no good, but tho ox
tont of harm it wrought cannot easily be
estimated.
Who AViih ItfKiMillnllilc f
Upon whom tho lcBpoustblltty rrtn for
tho burlcsuuo palnnsl off on tlm public as a
glovo contest 1h n question illlllctilt to set
tle. This is particularly tho enso when con
nldcrcl in tho light of events leading up to
tho light. The principals, Curloy Suppler,
and Jack Abbott, cnino highly recommended.
Their records wc.ro fairly good. Supples be
ing looked upon with especial favor owing
to his puglllHtlc career and tho fnet that ho
Is generally considered ns a iwsslblo cnndl
dato for lightweight championship honors.
Tho two lighters had never met each other
previous to tho day of the battlo In Omaha
and prior to thti light each was optimistic
oer the outlook. Roth seemed to consider
tho battlo a crucial point in their enroers.
Supples know that if ho should suffer a
knockout at the hands of Abbott his future
aspirations would bo wrecked and ho would
practically bu a "dead ouo" In puglllHtlc
circles. Abbott, on tho other hand, had tho
ehanco of his life to put up a light against
it promising lightweight and victory meant
for him Immediate recognition as a "enmor."
Tho circumstance of tho fight lead to tho
belief that Abbott was "fixed"' during tho day
preceding tho meeting, whereby he con
vented for a consideration to release his
chanceu for advancement In pugilistic cir
cles and glvo Supples an easy victory.
Tttoliey lleiilen Ail)' t'lillilnion.
Oeorgo Tuohey, Supples' manager, and
who, by tho way, stands well as n thoroughly
rellahlo sporting man, denies knowledge of
any collusion betwuon his protege and Ab
hott. Tho existence of such collusion with
out Tuobey's knowledge would not, how
ever, bo Impossible. If this theory of the
alTalr Is tho correct ono Supples' action In
tho matter Is equally as roprehenslbhi as
that of Abbott. They were presumed to
glvo tho public an exhibition of their best
talunt In tho pugilistic lino and by enter-
blank refuse to buy a ticket to any enter
talnment with which any of the men impli
cated In this swindle are connected In any
capacl.y whatever. Was It rotten? Why.
even Sclp Dundy walked out beforo tho
end of tho fifth round."
Two rounds of fierce fighting did two
things at Talteralls In Chicago Tuesday
night. They put Joe Choynskl beyond tho
pale of aspiration for heavyweight pugilistic
honors and demonstrated that Tom Sharkey
Ir Just ns clever In tho squared circle as his
friends ever dared Intimate he wa?. Choyn
ski was knocked out and it was accomplished
by tho sailor In a fashion all his own. Tho
six minutes comprising tho two rounds wera
filled with sensational fighting and afforded
a continuous performance of llvaly mixing.
Choynskl was by no means a match for the
big sailor and tho latter indicated by his
exhibition that his clai-s Is confined to a
few of tho best of the heavywolghts. That
ho has Improved since his memorable fight
with Jeffrlw was apparent and when he an

ATHLETES SHOW UP WELL
Patrons of that time-honored Yankee
game, which has lost none of Its popularity
or attractiveness with tho passing of years,
havo much reason for gratification in the
inauguration of the new Western league sea
son. Particularly Is this the case with
Omaha "fans," and tht cup of happlncs
of the local enthusiasts has been filled to
overflowing during tho past week. Man
ager William Artaxcrxes Ilourke has made
good the promise he gave prior to the open
ing of tho season when ho proclaimed that
he hdd gathered together a winning team
and President Keith has proved himself a
handful of aces when It comes to a question
of mascots.

departuro of U.o local team to bo trans

adequate to hold tho local enthusiasts who
will gather next Saturday to extend tho
glad mitt nnd tho cordial greeting to tho
professldnal players whd havo taken a big
stride toward the Western league pennant
nnd aro a credit to Omaha, It is safe to
predict that tho "heavenly twins," otherwise
known as Keith and Hottrkc, will bo ac
corded an ovation, whllo "Mir Wilson,
"Lengthy" Hughes, Captain Jack O'Connell,
Harry llurrcll, "Mobile" Iiuzon, "Mattle"
McVlckcr and all tho rcjt of them will bo
extended tho royal welcome.
The first game, of the league season will
bo played In Omaha next Saturday between
Omaha and St. Jcscph, and tho excellent
artlclo of ball with which tho season has
been opened will bo the urder of tho day.
Tho pent-up enthusiasm of the fans, which
has been Increasing with tho dally favorablo
returns from the Omaha team, will spend
Itself on that occasion without stint, nnd
Saturday promises to be a memorable day In
the annals of local base ball.
President Keith returned Krlday from
Denver, whero ho tnrrlcd long enough to see
his men, whom Manager George Tebcau cf
Denver had previously dubbed as "ama
teurs, " lambast tho Denverltes for thrco of
tho four games plnyed, leaving tho western
metropolis In mourning and Tebcau in sack
cloth and ashes. Colonel Keith goes
through several singes of ecstacles every
time he stops to consider the magnificent
performance of his players nnd dilates
volubly upon the soveral talents possessed
by each Individual member of tho team. Tho
Omaha boys were extended every possible
courtesy by tho people of Denver, despite
tho keen disappointment they furnished tho
natives by copping out all but ono of the
four games.

for tho test was tho nnnual Held day events,
which were called this year at the Ames

"Tho task of reaching tho seiners Is made
moro difficult 'by the peculiar location of tho
