factory to Everyone,
GAME TO BE REVIVED THIS WINTER

There Is a deal of satisfaction on thr
part of Caaba sporting men over the
manner in which tbe fighting game has
been put on its feet In this city once
again. That the sport hat been revived
and la here to slur there Ik no doubt. Tbe
firiit fight pulled off In years under condi
tions warranting In advance Its legitimacy
proved a drawing card that plainly showed
the existence of a surprisingly large sport
ing contingent in this city
Encouraged by the success of tbe Clard-nrr-Bmltb
bout Thursday night, tbe Omaha
Athletic club proposes to provide a scries
of monthly fights during tbe coming winter,
in each of which pugilists of recognized
reputation and ability will be tbe con
testants. Tbe next will be some time
during tbe latter part of November and
'the main card will be between Kid Tarkflr
of Denver and Terry Quccnan.
There was not one of the big crowd
that packed Washington hall to suffocation
Thursday night but was thoroughly
satisfied with the bout between Oscar
Gardner and Hatch Smith. Even tbe men
who had touted Smith for a winner
went away well pleased with the perform
ance of their favorite. There was ample
reason for this feeling of satisfaction, tor
the fight was a rattling pood one In every
sense of the word. Any one who attended
with the expectation of seeing an exhibi
tion of brutality was happily disappointed.
When the fight was ended both of the men
left the .ring little the worse for the ex
perience. Gardner's victory came to him by reason
of his superior ring generalship and hlB
long experience- In the fighting game.
His opponent made a remarkable showing,
when It Is remembered that he was fight
ing the first battle of any consequence of
bis lite, and thut, too, with a man who
understands the game from Alpha to
Omega. There ns no time that Smith
looked lllte a winner. He bad the better
of the flrBt round, but Gardner had con
fidence In his own ability and devoted the
first three minutes of tho contest In sizing
up his opponent, in order to know" what
tactics to pursue during the remainder of
tbe contest.
Smith showed some signs of cleverness.
He demonstrated to the satisfaction ot
every spottatur that be has a promising
future before him, after he has developed
the latent talent be possesses and secures
a widened exncrlcnpH. Rvnn In thia limit
he might have been tht: winner had be j
been pitted against a man possestlng Quali
fications nearer- htft-own. With tho knowl
edge and experience that will come to
him as ihe rcsiult of future engagements
he will be equipped before a great while
to meet the fopnolcliers In the feather
weight class and" ho will develop into n
host that netds to be reckoned with.
Gardner handled himself throughout the
contest as tbe Bplendld1 fighter that be is.
He wns handicapped by the fact that his
hands were In bad shapn, and before the
fight had progressed beyond tbe third
round one of the bones "in Ihc right hand
vas fractured. Had sticlf not been the
cube it is unlikely that tho fight would
have gone as far as it did. Smith profiled
by the mlsfortuno' of hlu opponent, Cow
evor, for the amateur who 1b able to slick
for sixteen rounds with Oscar Gardner is
entitled to pnss beyond the amateur grade,
and this promotion Smith has gained for
himself, i '
During tbe progress of tbe mill It be
came apparent early that Smith wbb dis
heartened by tbo effective manner In which
Gardner warded -off his blowB. The little
iron man hud a defonse that was well ulgb
perfect, and tbe only opportunity Smith
bad ot landing on his opponent was by
exposing himself in. order to get at Gard
ner while be was employing his mitts for
other purposes than defense.
Bmlth also showed a 'lamentable lack ot
defensive ability. His bead and face wore
left exposed nearly the whole time, and
Gardner kept rapping him .on tbe nose and
the left eye until the plucky little colored
lad was visibly disconcerted. In this re
spoct Smith occupies a position aoniewhat
similar to Eddie Lauzon, the popular
catcher and right fielder of the Omaha
ball team last year. Luuzon wb raised
and lived In tbo sunny south so long that
his pate became ub hard as a brickbat.
At any rate, Lauzon attributed the simi
larity between his bead and an asphalt
pavement to bis residence in the south.
It used to be remarked during the ball
season that "Mobile" was never hit by a
pitched ball otherwhere than in tho head,
and no matter what the velocity of the ball
that struck him on his think-tank, he al
ways came up smiling as though the con
tact had been made by a yarn ball.
Halch Smith's head hat an affinity for
Jolts from a ring antagonist about us
Lauren's pate has on affinity tor pitched
balls. Tbe negro claims that be can take
most any Jolt in the betid without, its hurt
ing him, and In so doing Is enabled the
better to protect his body. More effective
defense, however, will come to Smith as he
progresses in his pugilistic career, and
with it will develop a greater confidence
on his part In carrying on aggressive opera
tions. The little black boy hat the making
ot a first rate pugilist In blm unleas all
Blgns are misleading, and hU capable
trainer, Eddie Robinson, proposes to de
velop every bit of talent the lad has
wrapped up In his frame until he placet
him on the pinnacle In featherweight cir
cles. While other fighters and ex-flgbtcrs are
devoting themselves to the cultivation of
hlstrlonlo talents John L. Bulllvan has
dipped into the literary field and is the
author or a treatlBe on the "future of

interesting phase ot the question "To my
mind there it no use ot baring a fight to a
finish; I would put twenty-five rounds at
the limit. If two men are anxious to fight
it will not be hard to tell which Is the
better It they are both In the ring at the
end of twenty-five rounds. That elves
seventy-five minutes of fighting and twenty
tour minutes ot resting. In all nlnety-nlnc
minutes ot as hard work as any man ever
jiut himself to, and It one man In that
time can't demonstrate his superiority,
why. they may try conclusion soon again
and be sure of a good crowd.
"I would put it in tbe power ot the
referee to stop a fight at any time be be
lieves one man it whipped. I can't see
what is the use ot letting a man stay :n
the ring when hit nose is smashed, "his
eyes closed, his ears torn and be doesn't
know what be is doing. He's only a punch
ing bag for hit opponent under such con
ditions and the spectacle is a revolttnc one
He's a target that any blacksmith could
hit and I believe the referee should decide
it then and there."
According to Champion Jeffries tbe next
big fight will te between him and .Lankr
Bob ritsslmmons. The champion does not
oeneve mat nod Robert has retired from
the game, according to his expressed de
termination. "Fltzslmmons retired once
before," said Jeffries. "He told how he
had sworn to his wife that he would never
fight again nnd a lot more rot of that kind.
The public never would have him as a
theatrical star and they won't have him
now. As soon as he satisfies himself of
this tact I think he will 1-e willing enough
to fight again. He Is going around boast
ing and bragging about how easily be can
whip me. I want to see him undertake It.
I gave him a licking once that he didn't
forget for a year I would Just like to get
another chance at him, and it I do I will
give him a thumping that he will never
forget to the day of his Death."
NEW LEAGUE WAY BE FORMED
.MIiinriiinll nod K mi ft ftp City Clubs
Likely to Come Into the
H'eitrra.
Omaha base boll enthusiasts are awaiting
w-ith a great deal ot Interest the meeting
of tho Western league magnates to be held
in Donvcr next month. The principal in
terest centers in tbe formation of the cir
cuit for next year. With the probable
transferral of the franchises of Minneapolis
and Kansas City In tbe American league-to
Washington and Baltimore the logical out
come of the situation is tbe entrance ot
these two cities into tbe Western.
Base ball circuit makers are now rlelng
with tbe ante-election cabinet makers, and
tbe wise ones have figured it out thut the
Western next season will be made up ot
Minneapolis, St. Paul, Sioux City, Dcs
Moines, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Joseph and
Denver. Ou paper such a league looks
like a winner, but whether it will be
impracticable because ol the distance In
tervening between Denver and Minneapolis
remains to be decldod by the magnates
when they get together.
Whatever the solution of the circuit prob
lem may be It Is a certainty that the West
ern will be successfully organized tor next
tiroBon, With the pronounced success ot
the flrpt year of the Infant's career It it
reasonable to presume that next year will
witness an even more thriving organization,
although in the matter ot ball It will be
difficult to Improve tbe article that was pn
exhibition throughout tbe seiiBon Just closed.
There Is going to be enough fur flying
around loose in Denver when the magnates
get togetber to start a first-clost furrier's
establishment, tor there are several brands
ot it-rouble brewing between President
Hlckey and Manager Chase of Des Moines.
Judging the controversy in its various
phases, from the standpoint ot a disinter
ested observer, it seems that Manager Chase
is largely In the wrong nnd President
Hlckey will likely be upheld by the other
franchise-holders. The Des Moines club
now stands suspended because ot Its viola
tion ot the National agreement in substitut
ing a boll manufactured by Mr. ChaBo for
tbe regulation Spalding or Kcacb brand.
The outcome ot this "Des Molner difficulty It
a difficult question to solve. Mr. Chase has
the reputation ot being quite stubborn wbon
he gets his head set on anything, and Presi
dent Hlckey and the other members ot tbe
league are not likely to do much four
flushing when tbey hold the winning cards.
It W. Kent, on' old-time base ball en
thusiast, mrgnate and umplro In the west,
has Injected a little buse ball enthusiasm
Into southern blood and to his efforts tt
credited the organization ot the Southern
association, recently formed at Birming
ham, Ala. Kent left Omaha last summer
tar Chattanooga, where he accepted a re
sponsible railroad position, -hut his love
for base ball proved a magnet that In
duced him to promote an eight-club cir
cuit In the south. Six cities have already
Joined the association and the two others
are assured. Kent wub elected president
of thevasboclatlon and also obtained the
franchise at Chattanooga. His many
friends among base ball men throughout
,tbe west will wish him every success In
the venture.
Joe McGlnnlty, the. wandortul pitcher.
who did much toward landing tho pennant.
tor Brooklyn this year, was considered by
his associates on tbe team to have boen re
sponsible In such great measure for tbe
winning of the world's championship uver
Flttsburg that ho waB presented with the
cup won at a trophy In that sorles. This
news will bo .received with pleasure by
those who had tbe pleasure ot meeting
McGlnnlty during his brief visit with rela
tlves In this city last summer. Apropos
ot McGlnnlty, a competent Brooklyn writer
says:
"The 'Iron Man' Is at present sincere In
his determination to retire. When tbe
idee of spring come around one more it
is believed, however, that Mac will appear
in harness again. His associates sin
cerely hope that this will be tbe case. A
more popular player among his comrades
It would be difficult to find, a fact that is
borne out by tbe unanimous presentation
to him of the trophy -won at Pittsburg.
This wet not alone a tribute to his brll
llant work during the ectson, but a testi
monial ot the esteem In which he is held.
McQlnslty's response In receiving the gift
from his associates was remarkable, at it
told plainly and decisively why the Brook
lyn team It the best In tbe league. He
referred to the friendly relations that have
existed among the players on and oC the
field throughout tbe season, how every
body was In perfect accord with bis follow
player and all worked tor the success ot
the whole rather than for individual hon
ore. He attributed bit success to tbe
support given to him by the team when
ever he went Into the box and said that
he always remembered that there were
seven men behind him and a catcher in front
of him upon whom victory depended Just
as much as upon his owe efforts. He
said he hud given his part of the game
long ana careful study and that he had
come to the conclusion that with a fast
team behind him tbe pitcher had all tbe
best ot it. "I looked over the batting
records," said McGlnnlty, "and found that
tbe average hitter batted at a .300 pace.
That meant that a man will make three
hits In every ten if tbe ball is put over
the plats, the other seven resulting In
put-outs, I determined, therefore, that
my chances ot Puccett lay In putting the
hall over the plate and depending upon my
fellow players to do their share, Thlt I
did during the last year and tbe result Is
well known,"
THE OaiAHA DAILY BEE: sryDAT. OCTOBER 28, 1900.
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS ARE SORE
Think They Were Treated Unfairly in the
Game with Danlip.
CREIGHTON BUILDING UP ITS TEAM
Xrbraska is Showing; t'p . "Well
and !Vot at All Afrnld
at the Men from
tMlnnearolls.
Tbe High school team came back from
Dunlap, la., a week ago with no very high
opinion ot tbe hospitality ot lhat neighbor
hood, and it has no desire to accept an
other invitation from the Iowa town. The
Omaha ladt complain that there was a
large amount ot money hazarded on
the game betwaen the Dunlap townspeople
and visitors from tbe rival towns adjoining.
This monetary consideration, the Omaha
players contend, clouded tbe minds ot the
Dunlap oQcluls as to what constitutes a
point or halt dozen points in the game
ot foot ball,
"We crossed their goal line tour timet
and twice touched the boll to the ground,
but tbe Dunlap umpire allowed no touch
down," aald an Omaha play. "There was
a Wire fence five feet beyond the goal line,
and on the other two occasions when we
crowded Dunlap over its players braced
tbemsclvs against tbe fence nnd pushed ut
back. Tbo last time that a goal was made
our men laid down with tbe boll under the
fenco and there could be no possible doubt
of the validity of the score. Tbe umpire,
however, rotused to allow it, nnd catled the
game 9 to 0, although the players them
selves admitted that the touchdown had
been mode,.
"The Dunlap team had gone to every pos
sible length to defeat us and there were
men on the eleven from 26 to 35 years old.
The oval used was a potato patch from
which tbe crop had JUBt been dug up, and
the ground was lumpy, making end runs,
our chief reliance, a difficult proceeding.
Dunlap heavily outweighed us, but we were
too -quick tor thorn around the end in spite
of the broken field."
The High school team met He first defeat
of the season lost week at the hands ot the
massive men from Torklo, who were clearly
& stage or two beyond the High school lads
in age and development. Tarklo oollege in
the past has been a worthy match tor tbe
University of Nobraska and tbe High school
boys were In an ambitious mood wben they
threw down the gauntlet to their cldorB.
They came within a slnglo goal of holding
their own, however, and it it had not been
for the accident of tbe weather might have
done much better.
The field was a quagmire In spots and
a bed of slime tor tbe rest, so that there
was little opportunity tor effective end runs.
Tbe Tarklo men simply pushed tho ball
down field by virtue of avoirdupois, and
finally ahoved it over tbe goal lino. While
the Tarklo players played quick, clean toot
ball and reflected credit upon their town. It
was not such a gome as one loves to see, and
It is hoped the Mlssourlans will come again
when the conditions under foot put tbe ploy
on a more even plane.
The Omaha High school last year carried
oft the state championship banner and tbe
eleven is undoubtedly in as good .form this
year as tor many boob cms past. 'The only
defeat encountered a year ago was at the
hands of Lincoln, which was later ruled out
for profestlonallsm. Tbe boys show ut
for practice on tbe oval faithfully and
there Is every prospect that they will again
lead the schools ot the state, although tbe
advantage in weight as In other years is!
against them. '
Crelghton university is going laboriously,
but faithfully, nbout its task ot building
up. that preliminary to success foot ball
traditions and inherited talent for the
game. Tbe team this year is virtually an
aggregation of novices, many of whom have
never before run with a ball or leaped for
a sprinter's hips. The players have had
insufficient coaching and as a natural re
sult have mot with defeat more often than
laurels. By what unhappy chance the game
has been 00 allowed to deteriorate at tbe
university during the last few years Is not
known, but those innocent ones arc called
upon to pay tbe penalty. Working against
the obstacles it doct the team should be
looked upon at pioneers, worthy ot all
credit, who are laying a basis for what
maybe a state championship crew a couple
of years in tbe future. It Is to be hoped
that tbe squad will allow no such small
thing as a defeat to Interfere with their
enthusiasm or ambition for tbe days yet
to come.
In the game with Crelghton a week ago
the Omaha Medics reaped the fruits of
time well employed during tbe last year
or two and showed a superior form which
surprised even tbolr constituents. Tbe
doctors seemed to force holes through
their adversaries' line at will and on one
occasion carried the ball down the field
by steady rushes, crossing the goal line
without once losing tbe pigskin. The score
of 28 to 0 was a fair indication of the
teams' comparative merits. The excellent
showing so far put up by tbe medical men
gives their fellow students good reason to
hope for success on Thanksgiving day, wben
the Omaha men will essay the hitherto
formidable task ot sending Rush Medical
college back to Chicago empty-handed as
to honors.
The University ot Nebraska upheld Its I
unblomlEbed record a week ago by carry
ing off the honors in tbe game with Drake.
The gome was played in a gale and the
lowans were able to keep the ball In Ne
braska territory during almost all ot the,
first halt. They apparently -had their ad
versaries .at disadvantage and the Lincoln
men carried heavy hearts tor several min
utes. In the second halt, however, the
staying qualities ot the Nebraskant were
displayed to advantage and tbey were able
to score with a touchdown, a goal and a
touchback. The principal gains for Lin
coln were made around the end, a practice
at which the university men are particu
larly adept. It Is upon this quality that
they must rely for victory in the Thanks
giving game with Minnesota, a bulky lot,
who, it it hoped, will be more or less de
liberate In protecting tbolr wings. Drake
did good work in holding down the score to
its small proportions and played a very
creditable brand ot the national game.
The weakness of Chicago university,
which has been covered by accident or spe
cial effort, came out with hopeless emphasis
in the game with Brown a week ago. The
contest with Minnesota had prepared the
Windy city In a measure tor the final down
fall, but It wot hoped that the tie and vir
tual defeat In Minneapolis might be due to
one of those mysterious contingencies which
do not count. Brown was not distinguished
tor weight and tbe game opened on equal
terms. In tbe first four minutes of play,
however. Brown won its victory, aeeurlng a
goal, which kept it in the lead until the final
whistle blew.
The Chicago men forgot their lessons and
dropped the ball, misted their man on tack
les, and behaved altogether In a way to
make sick tbe Maroon heart. After some
very good advice between the halves Chi
cago covered ground with a series of ltt
old-time rushes and went over the line.
With the score 6 to C the Maroons then re
lapsed into their former flemorslired style
and"',h"5' ambition ot Chicago to stand the
peer st the Bit Four went down. It woj
tbe Maroons' first defeat on their own
grounds tor two years and it cut pretty
deep. Chicago should console itself, bow
ever, with the thought that everything from
crops to politics has ltt off years, and hope
for better luck next time. The result goet
to show that Minnesota's achievement was
not so remarkable as tearful Nebraskant
imagined, and there is no need ot fixing
odds on the northerners tor the final game.
"Minnesota had no difficulty last week In
disposing ot Grinnell, running up a score
ot 2C, and shutting out the lowans. Min
neapolis is said to be working bard after
the encouragement ot the Chicago game.
with tbe hope of attaining unto national
prominence by adding the scalp of Wiscon
sin to its list on November 8. Critics will
have another chance to compare Minnesota
and Nebraska, as Qrlnnell plays Is .this city
early next month.
The event It the only game which the Lin
coln men have vouchsafed to the state
metropolis. It is' understood that tbe
games played at Lincoln so tar thlt season
have not been profitable, and it is hoped
that the 'varsity managers will see the wis
dom of transferring the 'big Thanksgiving
gome to Omaha. The local cranks have
promised to do all in their power to make
the toams welcome 'and the press desires to
render such on arrangement every co
operation in its power.

the Game.
In order to become a good whist player
it is necessary first to know the rudiments
of the game, and for those who enjoy a
rubber and are unfamiliar with the leads
that should be made In using the long suit
system, the following suit leads should
generally be adhored to, viz
Number of cards in suit, 4, I, .
Holding. Lead.

If IC. holds the trick play fourth best,
as uce Is probably marked with partner.
Holding any other combination lead fourth
best. These leads, however, do not apply
to trumps. When a few plays of the hand
have been made enough information, as a
rule, has been Imparted by the drop of the
cards that its development must be left
almost entirely to the Judgment ot the
player.
There was a fine attendance at the regular

Match.
The outlook in tbe 'Kebraskd-MlsslsSlppl
chess match is far" from comforting To tbe
northerners, who have thut tar lost tour
games without a single victory. While it
it still early in a match of twonty games
for a forecast, the apparent eaBe with
which the southerners have won and the
brilliance and brevity with which they have
closed their gamec, in spite of the usually
dull character of correspondence play, docB
not bode well for tbe future. The distance
has caused inevitable delay In playing out
the games, but it is believed a number ot
contests will be concluded within the next
two weeks.
In the game given below hr RasmuBsen,
who has been reckoned strong In corre

house. In a few duys the servant went to
see what progress hud been mude und on
his return Informed the prince that all wan
done but one chimney, on which the painter
was then employed. A week passed and
the picture was not returned. The prince
then resolved to go himself. He did so und
found tbe artist still ut the unfinished
chimney..
"How Is this?" said the prince, severely
"All this time employed on one chimney"
"I have been obllgod to do and undo it
several times," said the artist
"For what reason"" asked the prince.
"BecaUBc " said the artist, coolly, "1
found that It smoked."

the followers of drup treatment, and no
