PLANNING FOR NEXT SFASflX " ,",U'bA1 OLi0Ut - , Omaha Base Ball Magnates Watching Out for I Irst Glass Players. STRONGEST POSSIBLE TEAM TO BE SECUPED l lrmnrlnl did of tlir (funic Win Hot- irr In Thin it- Tlinii In v, Any Ollirr l.cnuuc Tom ii. The spectacular finish of the season In Iho Western league and the nward of the tlnal places only after tho last Karnes were played has served to continue Interest In iaso ball affairs on the part of local en thUBlnstH at u pitch almost as intense as vhen thu battle was at Its height. The toot wlndup between Denver and Ues koines was exciting enough to Fiilt anybody Jnd it was perhaps a piece of good luck that tho season ended Just when It did, for a few moro Raines might have trans ferred tho pennant from the snow-capped :pcaks of George Tcbcau's mountain home to the classic colonnades of the capital of the Ilawkeyo state. When one considers what great enthusiasm w&s manifested by Omaha base ball fans In tho finish of the season, even though tho homo team was struggling for a plate in the second division, it Is not difficult to ni'Preclato the fever pitch of enthusiasm that would havo prevailed had the Omahaa been fighting with a show of winning the pennant. How firmly base ball enthu siasm Ih rooted In Omaha was Incontro vertlbly proven by tho manner In which Interest whs kept up In fuco of tho dis couraging performances of thu homo tea ai. No rlty In tho league showed such attendance and even when the team foil down almost to tho lowest round of the .percentage ladder tho Saturday and Sun day crowds kept up to tho three ami four thousand mark, characteristic of tho open ing of the season. When the men Interested In the revival ef baso ball in Iho transmlssnurl region met In Omaha last winter and discussed plans which suhscriucntly developed In the organization of the Western league they realized that the first season would be largely experimental. How successful the experiment has been Is appreciated by all iu miliar with tho facts. In view of tho passing of tho experimental stage next .year such changes are sure to bo wrought as will mako tho leaguo stronger In every respect than It was during the season Just closed. To that great bcily of anient lovers of tho splendid national sport thero Is cerlalnly much reason for rejoicing In the performances of tho recent past and tho outlook for tho future. Though the season In Omaha was a most successful ono from a financial standpoint, the local management is much disappointed with tho season's results. President Keith nnd Manager Knurkc were confident of win ding tho pennant mil events of the early part of the season Indicated thai such would be tho outcome. They attribute fail ure to do hi very largely to tho mlHfortunes which befell tho players. No team III the league was so unfortunate in the matter of Injured players as was tho Omaha team and to hard luck more than anything elt.o can bo charged the second dlvUlon position of the. Colts. Next year it Is certain that no such a series of mishaps will befall the home team. And besldo Manager Itourke wll! havo a stronger lot of players, u bet to," captain and stricter discipline. Already President Keith, Manager Itourko nnd Pcto l.ohman, who will captain the team, aro casting about for tho personnel of tho club. Thero will be few members next year who played this season. Among Iho familiar faces, I.ohmim, Toman, l.auzon, I'Veeland, Ilnach and Coons will probably be Iho ouly ones, but tho manageni int promises ii team that will be outclassed by none in tho league. After the gamo this afternoon between Omaha and Neola, which will bo In the naluro of a honctlt for tho boys of tho Omaha club, tho players will sock somo congenial cllmo to recuperate until next iroosoii, when somo of them expect to return 1o Omaha and others will seek pastures wherein to display their baso lull talents. Today's game will be tho last one of the season laying nny claim to professionalism nnd thero Is likely to bo a big farewell ciowd. In the big leagues the teams arc now settling down for the run down the home stretch. Tho performance of Pittsburg dur ing the Inst few weeks has been a marvel. Out of twenty-olght games played twenty one wero won iy tho 1'lrato.i. it a al together possible that Pittsburg may finish In first pl.ico and tho first two positions are now cinched by ltrooklyn and Pitts burg. The Phillies nro strong for third and Chicago, lloslon and Cincinnati will stir tilings up in their fight for fourth place, with St. I.oulu nnd New York bring ing up tho rear. In the American It looks as though t!io present positions will be nelil through tho balance of tho s-nson. with Comlskey's Whlto Stockings ending easy winners. John Foster, tho New York critic, in re viewing tho pauio for next season, has the following to say of tho prospects for the various National longuo cities Thero Ih verv llltlo talk about what the clubs will do In lltil. Possibly It Is just as well. Perhaps the National league Isn't iulto sure what It will do ns an organiza tion, llrooklyn may sell some of Its star mayors to other teams.

Tommy Hughes of Omaha, Kllog and ftranR of St. Joe aro the trio from the Western who expect to bo wearing Chicago UDirrm next year. Joo Dolnn, tho old Omaha boy. who has been on tho extra list with Philadelphia, Is now playing third for tho 1'hlllles since Wolverton was Injured In a street car ac cident. Joo is giving a good account of himself and Is playing excellent ball. Speaking of the Dolan family, Joe's brother, Oeorgc, was Identified very closely with tho Omaha team this year as concessionaire of all refreshment privileges and made a great success. "Well, I guess Omaha people aro pros perous," said Mr. Uolan In speaking of his mercantile venture at the Vinton street res ervation. "In the fifty-flvo afternoons that t kept storo this summer the patrons of tho gnmo spent enough money so that my venturo proved a splendid success. I at tribute this principally to tho fact that the people had money to spend and were willing to exchango It for tho necessary luxuries of a baso ball gamo popcorn, peanuts and lemonade but Howard Harvey and his orig inal and bright remarks, which served to liven up thlngH In tbo grandstand, comes In for a sharo of tho credit." PALAVER OF THE PUGILISTS lllur (inns Occupy Their Unforced Leisure In I'lunrliiK I i Tliclr Itniili Accniiul". Since the passing of tho Horton law and tho enforced physical Idleness, temporarily at any rate, thrust upon tho pugilists, the big gun ii have had a chance to llguro up their profits and there- seems little prob ability of any of them patronizing the conns of bankruptcy in tho Immediate fu ture. As a mutter of fact tho financial balance sheets vouched for by Jeffries, Kit., Corbett, McOovern and tho rest of them are such as to cause the young man who Is pausing upon the threshold undecided upon career to glo somo consideration to pugilism as a profession. Certainly there .ru few nvocntlons In which a man can spring In nn hour or two from tho ranks of a hod carrier and the pay Incident to such a calling to a position of wealth and alllucncc. Hut then there Is probably no piofesslon (?) whero the competition Is fiercer, literally and figuratively applied, or where the truth of the ' survival of the fit tost" Is more apparent and tho col leges will doubtless keep on turning out their full quota of lawyers, preachers and doctors, ccn though the financial Induce ments nnd possibilities of fame In pugi lism aro so remarkable. Now to tint figures: l-'ltzslnimnns, exclu sive of royalties on his picture fights und his stage engagements, got approximately J'O.OOU out of the Ilorton law. Jim Jeffries, tho champion, put awny $10,000 In govern ment I per cents and It Is his boast that ho has nearly twice that much more. Tom Sharkey has a house in Shcepshcad Uay and can write his check for at least $30,000. Corbett has not had so many opportuni ties ptoportlonately as somo of the others and $15,000 might bo set down fairly as his earnings. McCoy might be placed at close to tho same llguro and Peter Mahcr says he has a homo In Westchester a"d can live until the Horton law- comes nrouud again. Terry .McOovcrn's share is thought to bo larger than that of any of tho others. Ho was managed with great skill. Ho will not approximate his earnings, but they wero probably out to largo. Tho all-absorbing question with tho fight promoters now Is where future bouts shall bo pulled off, since tho Horton law has ex pired nnd pugilism In New York Is pre sumably shelved. Several solutions havo been advanced, but the final answer Is yot an algebraic x to the managerial mathema ticians. Kroni Now York comes tho report that followers of the llstlc game, who havo been bemoaning their fate ever since the expiration of tho Horton law put a stop to boxing contests In this city, havo been thrown Into a flutter of excitement over the report that tho game would go merrily on despite tho fact that the law had ex pired. This comes from a report, from the best authority, that the expiration of tho Hor ton law need not stop boxing In New York. It Is hold that before tho Horton law went Into effect boxing contests wero laid un der the protection of tho polico In this city and as long as tho laws were not violated tho promoters had no bother. It 13 now proclaimed that when tho Horton law expired It simply left tho matter In tho same light ns it was before in the hands of the local authorities and boxing can be carried on tho samo as before. Dry Dollars" Tim Sullivan, the New York leglslntor and tight promoter, Is said to havo quietly tipped It off that the next time ho attempts to get a law through the legislature permitting boxing carnivals ho will cinch tho matter and tnko nothing for granted as he did when tho Lewis bill repealing tho Horton law was passed by tho New ork legislature, last spring. At that tlnio Tim was conlldent that ho had enough Bupport to defeat tho Lowis measure, but when It went through with a lush, supported by many of tho men whom ho had confidently counted upon, "Dry Dollar" said nothing, but bought a patent solf-lnfllctlng kicking apparatus, for he usscrted that default of effort and ovor conlldence had permitted tho passage of thu bill sounding tho deatn knell of pugi lism In New York. The word has been passed along that tho mighty Timothy believes himself strong enough to get n bill through tho legisla ture liberal enough to suit tho fighters, and thnt, too, so that tho big arenas In New York shall net be Idlo longer than until tho eloso of tho present year. Meantime, however, somo of tho energetic fight pro moters In New York hovo hied themselves cut to cities In New Jersey and Connecticut nud are already arranging for early matches. The experiment of holding fights In smaller cities out of New York an hour or two will bo tried, but well-Informed sporting men, who have given thought to tho plan and have seen It tried, predict Its failure. Interest In the possibility of another match botween Jeffries and Kltzslmmons is apparent In pugilistic circles all over tho country at this time and tho relative merits of tho two fighters have been the subject of much discussion. A Now York writer says: Tho fuel that Jeffries gained an appar ently decisive victory over Kltzslmmons a year nao does not chuniie tho opinion of manv followers of sport in this vicinity that KltZNlmmons is tho better man nnd that he will win In another contest.

In any event Jeffries wno may be in tine physical contliii'm. dodged a fight with Kit a n August 31 be cause It was not considered wise for him to take chances of defeat on the eve of a theatrical tour. Will he take those chances on October 1" When Kltzslmmons fought Jeffries at Coney Island June 9. IS'J, the Cortilshnian went Into the ring n strong favorite. Ho fought poorly nnd fell an easy victim to the giant bollermaker. Kltzslmmons' defeat was genernlly ascribed to the effects of ad vancing years, entailing a loss of speed and punishing ability. It1 was recorded ns the caso of a veteran goltfg Into the ring once too often and the old chap was relegated to the pugilistic Junkshop. He snarled that some one had drugged his drinking wnter and then came the story, vouched for by Jeffries' manager und also by Kitzslmmniis, that the latter hud de manded and received 65 per cent of the purse, the victor getting but 35 per cent. While this gave tho ntTalr n peculiar look yet Kltzslmmons' talk of ' dope" was re garded ns the railing of n defeated and dis appointed boxor. lie was generally set down as n "has-been'' and no attention was paid to him In the light of subsequent events It Is easy to believe Kltzslmmons' water bottle was drugged that nUht. or else the knowledge of the fiS per cent of the purse must have dimmed his vision and caused him to forget he was a tighter. WORLD'S RECORD IS BROKEN !mn MnrUiinnn Curries (Iff (iinin Iiliiiislilp Honor nt the l.nUe OkolmJI (inn Tournament, Tho Omaha marksmen have returned from the world's championship shoot at Arnold's park. I.ako OkoboJI, sunburned nnd cheerful nnd well laden with honors. Thoso who participated from this city wero Frank- Parmelee, It. S. McDonald. O. W. Loomls and D. Merrill. Dan llruy of Syracuse, Neb., und C D. l,indcrmau of Adams, Neb., also Identified themselves with the Omnlia party nnd tho whole made up a merry crowd. Parmeleo went In ad vance of tils colleagues and spent all of August on tho banks of the lake. The match extended through seven days, tho first three being given over to the amateurs nud tho remainder to the ex perts. There were three cups to bo con tested for In the professional class, ono for the ninety, one for the eighty nud one for the seventy class. The high class cup went to Hudd. whose record was forty nine out of fifty. The second class trophy was captured by Parmeleo of Omaha, who mndo uti equally high score, only one clay bird striking the water unbroken. Johnson of Minneapolis took tho prize In the seventy class, bringing down forty-four out of fifty. Mrs. Johnson nlso took part In the contest and made a very eredltablo record. In the amateur contest tho first honors were captured by C. D. I.lnderman of the Omaha party, with an average of 92 per cent for three days. Marshall won second place with n scoro of 90 per cent. Tho real attraction of tho meet was the contest between Klllott of Kansas City and Ollbert of Spirit Lake for tho cham pionship of tho United States and tho C, C. cup. Tho town of Spirit I.uko was de serted for tho day, tho stores bearing tho sign: "We'vo gone to see our Dude win." "Dude" is alleged to be the solo and only given namo of tho Iowa crack. Tho mer chants saw what they went to see. Thou sands thronged the beach whero the traps were laid out and well grown trees wore broken to the ground through tho efforts of men and boys to gain a point of van tage. Tho heat was Intcnso and there wore no seats. Women with children In arms stood for two hours to wit nets the supreme contest. The champion and ex-champlon stood to gether nt the scoro Flno nnd shot In turns. Ollbert, cleanshaven and bronzed to an Indian hue, mopped the persprntton from his brow and shouted, "Pull," and the match wns on. The Spirit Lake man showed the remarkable quickness which served him to good purpose' In tho doubles later. Al most before the' bird had leaped ten feet from the trap his unerring eyo would catch It and a Hhowor of broken pottery would follow. Klllott, whoso well known face Is still marked by Its long, drooping mus tache, was scarcely less sure of aim and appeared a formidable antagonist. He played his part bravely, though with scarcely a friend In the crowd. Gilbert shot like a wizard; It was tho best work ever done over a trap. There were fifty birds at known angles and au: other fifty at unknown angles, and then enmo tho critical test tho doubles. Two birds left tho trap simultaneously and It was tho marksman's task to get them both before they touched tho wnter. This work proved too fast for Elliott and Ollbort forged rapidly ahead. The final score was announced' Ollbert, 113; Elliott, 12S, out of a possible 1C0. There was a moment's pause and then the people of Iowa surged In upon their champion and half smothered him with greetings. Ho had broken tho world's record. Tho stcamors crowded about the landing, turned loose their whls- tlos and tho occasion was adequately cele brated, Tho Omaha marksmen and others from out of tho state were at a disadvantage from tho location of the traps, which lined the water's edge. Tho shooterB complained that the glitter of the water disturbed their aim and that their scores would otherwise have been moro creditable. Tho pits along tho scoro lino also were not ulways on tho samo level, somewhat to tho embarrassment of the marksmen. Theso small matters, how over, wero not allowed to Interfere with the full succens of tho meet, which went off In every way as planned by the twelve sturdy Indians who promoted It. It was not their Intention to gather a crowd and lino their purses with gate receipts, as might havo been perfectly proper In a meet of such nnttonal Importance, but on the other hand tho public wns frco'o attend without mouoy or price. Tho Indians, an Informal appellation of tho oxocutlvo committee, were sufficiently pleased with tho accommodations nnd may meet on Okobojl's Bhorcs again fiext year, although It Is more probable that some other location will be chosen. Tho number of women present was a noticeable featuro of tho shoot, as almost every married marks man was accompanied by bis family. There were many eastern shots present, who havo put In an earnest plea that next year's meeting occur at some spot moro acccsslblo to thoso on the other sldo of the Alle gbcnles. One of the novelties of the shoot was tho work of u u-year-old boy, who sue ceeded in winging the target with surprising frequency. He used a gun which weighed five and n half pounds. CRICKETERS TALK EXPANSION Coiiiniodlona (rniinilM it nil n Com fortitlile Cluli Holme Aiiiiiiik the Future Possibilities. in line with tho tendency of tho times the Omaha Cricket club proposes to do ,i little expanding on Its own account. At a meeting at tho Dellono hotel Tuesday evening steps wero taken toward building a club houso and securing grounds for tho uso of club members. The proposition, as fcrmulnted by President Lennon, Is that a tract of four or five acres bo secured on the outskirts of the city, a comfortable club house built and cricket, base ball nnd tennis grounds located. Two or thrco locutions aro being considered. Messrs. Lennon, Kranels and P.oynotds wero appointed to net as n committee on preliminaries and the work of organiza tion wilt be pushed vigorously. There Is no reason why Omaha should not havo nn Institution of this kind. In addition to Its Athletic association. Chicago has llfteen J, or twenty outlflK vluti The .Wuudcrers' Cricket nnd Athletu tlub Is the one whose V'r'c ,?ri";u,?rJjr 10 !h,0, meTT of the Omaha Cricket club, and It is likely that the latter s charter will be t: n.l ir.tents and purposes a copy of that of the Chlingo organization. While tho cricketers have, taken the preliminary steps to organize tile new club, it Is not Intended that It shall be exclusively a cricket club. If suitable grounds are secured base ball, tennis, curl ing and skating can bo enjoyed The con sensus of opinion was that the lultiatlon fee should bo $15 nnd the annual dues $10. and thnt no Indebtedness be Incurred until there was nn insurance that nt least 150 members would Join. TENNIS BECOMING" POPULAR ensoll ('lose Tills Weeli St 1 1 it Tour linuient In Which l.oenl I'lnyrr Will Pnrtli'lliiite. The athletic department of the Young Men's Christian association Is meeting with gratifying success In Its effort to re vive Interest in lawn tennis In the city. The season will be closed nt tho Amis avenue park wth a tournament on Septem ber 13, II and 15, In which twelve players havo already entered. The state tourna ment which tho Lincoln Tennis club con templated giving has fallen through be causo of a lack of proper organization and promotion; the locnl players therefore will devote their chief energy toward success in the Omaha! Htiniey. The contests will be in singles and doubles and will be participated In by tho following. 1 rubles Packard nnd Hale, Willis and Olpnoro, Cortolyou and Humes; Chnltee nnd Ilabeoek. Singles Patterson, Webster, lteedy and Chase. In nddltlon most of those entered In the doubles will play n part In tho singles also. Several of tho Young Men's Chrlstlnn association classes have continued their basket ball practice during the summer and will be In the best of condition when tho fall season opens. Tho classes will begin work In virtually a new gymnasium, ns the room has been thoroughly overhauled nnd thu apparatus Improved and increased. A new horse, a buck, a springboard, live new nmts, Jumping standards, chest weights and a drum for the striking bag hne been added. The locker room has nlso been repainted and altered. It Is proposed to transform the auditorium Into n Junior department, with n reading room, bath rooms, etc. ( Tho two Young Men's Christian associa tion ball teams still engngo In their weekly match games. The drays played at Kort Crook on Saturday anil the Triangles met the Swifts from South Omnha. No effort will be made this fall to or ganize a foot ball team, as there Is a de ficiency In material and a lack of oppor tunity to practice.

A well known artist of Philadelphia re cently mado tho statement that not only has tho style of femlnlno beauty changed greatly within tho last few decades, but that the Gibson girl of today would havo seemed actually homely to the tasto of forty years ago. That this statement Is rorrect a glanco at the portrait of tho girl of today and that of hor grandmother will prove. It Is not merely the infirmities of ago which make tho grandmother look so frail bcitdo her stalwart granddaughter. Tho tact Is that American women havo Increased In height, breadth and weight In the last few years. Nor Is that all. When the girl of today faints It Is not considered a sign of her extreme sensibility nnd related to her glory. A doctor Is called In to prescribe for tho physical derangement which has caused It Sho no longer purses up her mouth after tho prunes and prisms fashion of bygone years; she runs about tho campus of Ilryn Mawr or tho board walk at Atlantic City ullko without n hat until hor skin tnkes on n tlugo which her ancestors would havo coldly likened to that of a milkmaid. Sho walks, wheels and plays golf until sho cannot enrry out tho traditions of tho family by approach ing the ultar In her grandmother's wedding unoes; her hands alto could scarcely conform to tho rules of beauty laid down In former years, and yet, to our eyes, she Is much hands6mer than the simpering, lHrge-eyed creature who stood for beauty In tho por traits of bygone years.

The despicable practices of tho market hunters are altogether responsible for this situation. The pralrtcs of Ne braska ought to be alive with clilckeus to day, but they are gradually being weeded out and the most drastic measures that may be adopted by any association of sportsmen to bring about a successful change will be but weak In tho accomplish ment of the ends sought to bo nttalncd The only thing to do iu order to peipetuate the grand sport of hunting In this state is for the next legislature to pass an ap propriation providing for the appointment of n game warden.

"Nebraska sportsmen certainly have much reason for praising tho work done 1" tho Stato Uamo Protective association." said Charlie Curtlsa. ono of Omaha's cr.uk Held shots. "Whllo the chickens nrv not perhaps as plentiful as wo l;'i'iild like to see them, si 111 there arc great numbers of them through tho state tind tho increase over what there would have been If the market hunters had had full sway all through the month of August cannot be estimated. I was up In iho northeast part of the state for a couplo of weeks before the season opened and there wero n dozun refrigerators up there which hail previously been filled evory day by tho market hunt ers that were absolutely useless after the gamo protectivo association got In the field after tho Ulegul shooters." Au Incident connected with the opening of tho game henson that occasioned much genuine regret on tho part of Omaha sports men was the poisoning of the splendid, high-bred dogs belonging to (loodlcy Hrucker and Illllle Hardin. The poisoning was undoubtedly tho work of some of tho market hunters living at (Jrecley Center, who took this despicable method of ro t.ngo for tho support given by Messrs. hrucker and II it t ii In In tho running down of the Illegal shooters. Hrucker, Hnrdln and Frank Fogg went out to Oreelry Center and hunted chickens near thero all day Saturday, the opening day of the season. That night they camo back to town and atayed nt the hotel. Sun uav morning tho four dogs wero released from tho kennel In which they had passed the night and wero put In the hotel oillcc whllo their owners brenkfnuted. "After nreakfnst wo were bathing tho dogs' feet in wltchhazel when my dog, Jim, e.nd Hardin's Silver wero tnken with n spabin," Bald Mr. Urucker. "In ten minutes Hardin's dog died and mine died betoro noon. Kuch had two spasms. Wo took every means wo could to counteract tho effects of the poison, but were able to do nothing. "While we wero in at breakfast somo scoundrels threw somo poisoned meat Into tho ofllce whero tho dogs were. Wo sus plcloned two fellows at Greeloy Center, but had no direct evidence against them. Thoy wero good-for-nothing louts who had been shooting for tho market nnd when wo informed some of tho best men in Gree ley Center of our suspicions thoy were mightily wrought up about the matter and tho fellows havo probably been made to clear out by this time. We came home without our dogs nnd of courso our chicken shooting wns spoiled." Mr. lirucker's dog was 4 years old. He camo from pedigreed ancestors which aro registered amon-? the highest pointers In tht country. Mr. Hrucker had tlmo and again been offered fancy prices for htm, but stated that no nmount of money could have tempted him to sell tho animal. Mr. Hardin's dog wns nlso a very flno ono and he hud refused an offer of $100 for him shortly beforo tho unfortunate, affair at Groeley Center. C. H. nnd W. D. Townsend returned from Atkinson this week, whero they spent tho first few days of the open season on a highly enjoyable hunting trip. They brought homo with them flfty-threo blrd3. nilllo Townsend directly upon his return from Atkinson went out to North Platte to continue tho sport. Con Young went out to Kwing for tho opening of tho season and brought back fifty birds. Charlie Johannes and nartv snent n f nu lla H In the sandhills and had forty-threo chickens with them on their return to town. Henry .McDonald has returned from a few days spent at Spirit Lake, la., In a pleasant shootlug outing. Lafo Young nnd Wulter Wntt havo gono out In search of chickens. Young has gono to O'Neill and Watt to Arcadia. Thero ore a few teal flying through now, but tho shooters who have gono out the last wcok have devoted their nttentlon to the chickens. In a week or ton days from now sportsmen expect that the first of tho season's ducks will begin to fly through. With chlckonii and ducks In plentiful num bers tho sportsmen will havo plenty of amusement nfforded them until tho quail season opens Novomber 1. Tho outlook for quail In unlimited quantities Is exception ally good nnd ono woll-lnformed hunter offers tho prediction that quail will bo more plentiful this season than at any pre vious time In ton years.
