Affairs pugilistic nro In n chnotlc Rtato
lust now nnd tho iirUo fighter finds him-
Bclf up ngnlnst what appear to ho tho
"rial thlnK." Rvcn tho championship
otcnt between Jeffries nnd Iluhlln, which
has boon announced with such great gusto
as a suro go In Cincinnati, February IB, Is
likely to dlo n-bornln', for (lovcrnor Nash of
Ohio linn Issued u pronunclatnonto declaring
that ho has not been Interviewed In tho
matter and suggesting that tho laws of
Ohio consider prlzo lighting us a felony.
"No ono has consulted mo about this mat
ter," (Jovornor Nash Ih quoted ns saying,
"and I want It distinctly understood that I
do not approve of prlzo lights, participation
In which Is n felony under tho laws of
Ohio. I havo not yet looked into tho mat
ter to nsccrtnln what my duties nre, but
tho publln may rest assured that whatever
they aro I will meet them promptly.
Mayor Julius Klolschmnnti, howover, rests
serenely upon his guns and announces that
ho has Riven his consent for tho holding of
tho big show nnd that no interference will
bo brooked In IiIh plans Tho mayor mukes
no reservation In tho declaration that tho
fight will bo permitted, "I guess I am about
tho biggest nuthorlty around here," ho
says, "nnd 1 wish It could bo mado plain
thnt I know of no ono who Ik going to Inter
fere with tho present arrangements. I
havo said thnt 1 would Issue a permit for
tho contest, for I believe, ns do somo of
tho very best business men nnd those of
somo public spirit, that tho contest being
conducted as It will, In an orderly and
decent manner, Is -going to bo n big adver
tisement for tho city nnd will bring much
money here.
"Thoro Is not going to bo nny rough
work of nny sort. Tho prlco of admission
will bo high enough to bar nny of tho un
(leslrablo clement. Tho contestants nro of
championship caliber and there Is no chance
of tho contest being anything but clean-
cut nnd dovold of nit fentures of brutality,
which nro such n popular argument of those
who wnnt to stop lighting."
It looks now ns though the situation has
settled down to tho settling of tho argu
ment between tho governor of Ohio nnd tho
mnyor of Cincinnati. Each has turned tho
box nnd It Is now a horso apiece, with tho
third horso decidedly In favor of tho gov
ernor, In enso ho plays his hand according
to his published statement.
Meantime, however, tho Cincinnati pro
moters nro proceeding with their arrange
ments. Hilly llrndy, tho great fight pro
moter nnd mnmigcr, has been selected to
tnko chargo of tho affair, but oven Ilrady
himself doesn't seem to know Just where ho
Is at. Tho day after Christmas ho Is quoted
ns saying that, cucvn though bo had been
selected to manago tho affair, It wouldn't
conio off beennso of tho objection of tho au
thorities. If tho whole matter Is n game of
bluff It Is an Interesting one, to say tho
least, and, mcantlnmc, Cincinnati Is get
ting all sorts of advertising nut of tho nf-
rnir, nnu mat's ono of tno tilings tho ;najor
hns been looking for.
All over tho country tho fighting gnmc has
been receiving u scries of solar plexus blows
that bespeak tho necessity of future lights
being pulled off on somo desert Island In a
bnlnon or else forcing tha mombcrn of (ho
pugilistic profession to seek other employ
ment. In New" York. Chicago, Omaha and
nny number of other cities that could bo
mentioned tno seal of official dlrnpproval
has been utnmpcd, and If Cincinnati follows
tho prcccmlcnt established it looks as
though tho Jig wero up.
Carson City may ho used ngaln as n plnco
of last resort, provided tho championship
problem becomes sulllcicntly complicated, to
force tno deciding or conclusions between
tho top-notcherH. It is a certainty, how
over, mat Jerrrios nnu minim will never
fight In Camou City. Such a match would
not bo Hiilllelcnt of a drawing enrd to war
rnnt Dan Stuart or any other promoter In
pulling off a contest In tho wilds of tho
west.
Mr. Jeffries is probably viewing tho situa
tion with a deal of Interest. To him tho
vlnw of n life-long hold on tho champion
ship because of lack of opportunity to havo
It wrested from hlra rany well bo roseate
niiod nnd ho can continue drawing down a
corpulent competenco from stnlklng beforo
tho footlights nnd umpiring ha so ball games
Thut certainly killed the boxing gamo
there, for tho mnvor nut his foot down
and said thut not nnother glovo could bo
pulled on or a blow dealt. There nro n
number of other places that fell under tho
ban. An effort was madn to start a boxing
club In KIIr.nbeth. N. J., hut tho sheriff
drew ono card, tilled a club flush and batted
tho poor lighter over tho head with It. And
thoro are a number of towns and cities to
bo heard from. Hvcn the mayor of Ander
son, Ind., whero Tommy Hyatt anil Jack
Ileauscholte am to fight January 18, has
said that would bo tha last fight ho would
allow there.
Votaries of amateur snorting affairs In
this city aro evincing a grent deal of Inter
est In the school of physical culture, which
will soon be opened by Kddle Hoblnson and
Peter Loch. At tho present time workmen
aro engaged In fitting out tho quarters
which tho club will occupy at 1310 Harney
street. Thoro will bo ono main room,
10x35 feet, which will be equipped with all
tho paraphernalia usually found In a first
class gymnasium. Adjoining this thcro
will be shower baths, nnd all of the mem
bers will bo accorded the advantages of
Mr. Hoblnson's superior knowledge of ad
ministering massago to athletes and gym
nasts. The promoters of this club arc
well known In Omaha as amateur athletes
of considerable ability. Mr. Hoblnson Is n
cracking good boxer nnd hns been trnlnor
to a number of clever pugilists. Mr. I.och
Is tho champion amateur wrestler of Ne
braska, and the membors of tho club will
bo given Instructions in boxing und wrest
ling by these two gentlemen. Tho how
club will bo formnlly opened on tho ulght
of January 7, at which tlmo an Interesting
athletic program will be given, consisting
of nmntoiir contests in wrestling nnd other
feats of strength.

Michael Crowe's victory over Frank
(lotch of Iowa In his wrestling match ;it
Fort Dodgu last week was the greatest
victory over won by tho Omaha man and Is
ono In which his friends take a deal of
satisfaction. i)y this victory Crowo lays
claim to tho tltlo of heavyweight cham
pion of Nebrnska and Iowa and stands
ready to defend the title against nil comers.
Tho bout with Gotch was, he admits, the
hardest he ever had In his life and his
chances looked pretty scaly when Gotch
got tho first fall In eighteen and one-half
minutes. Tho succeeding two, however,
Crowo won by clever work, getting tho
second In eight nnd one-half minutes and
tho third In twenty-four minutes.

Tho finest contour of a female face, tho

hair: whero It Baps tho vitality. Tho llttlo

Is hardly a merry Jester, but ho Is ap
parently a monumental bluffer. Moro than
that, ho has surrounded himself with somo
other bluffers who aro hardly open to tho
charge of being amateurs, and they havo
produced n most wonderful pleco of work to
support their apparent nssault on the
stronghold of tho National league. Just a
llttlo analysis is sufficient to show how
diaphanous tho new "leaguo" really is
Flvo cities aro named as having been given
franchises, nnd several others aro sug
gested as having made application or com
ing under tho general head of "available."
Amorig the latter Omaha Is included. Care
ful inquiry has failed to dovolop the
nresonco In Omaha of anyone anxious to
put in a second team. Detroit Is to havo
two teams, und it Is even suggested that
other points In tho American league circuit
may bo similarly blessed. Rockford,
Illinois, is put down ns a probable candidate
and there is a fluttering among tho fans
down Qulncy way In hopo that that town
may bo similarly honored. All of thoso
stories read nicely and will serve to assist
people In forgetting coal bills and tho like,
but what Is back of them? Dan Johnson.

It did not compel tho Toronto ciud io pay

ning complalnB specifically that the matter
wob not taken up at the lato meeting of tho
National league. When tho National league
wns in session at New York recently it was
with nnnounced through the papers that neither
will not be nblo to protect Itself, let alone
an associate league, and base ball will bo nt
tho mercy of irresponsible plnyers. w ncro
will tho gamo go? To tho bow-wows.
Whero will Dan Johnson go? Snmo placo.
If this Is reasonable, do you think lor a
moment that Dan Johnson is trying io
bring about such a result? Not on your
natural. Nothing Is further irom uis
thought. Ho Is merely engineering a colos
sal bluff, nnd out of It all ho may gain
well, It Is hurd to say what he will gain.

that's about as consistent as tho average

Beforo closing this chapter It might he
well to quoto what Dan Johnson himself
soys about tho war. Hero Is tho way ho
talked In Chicago on his return from tho
east when asked to dcflno tho exact rela
tions between tho Nntlonal and American
leagues:
I would rather not attempt to do thnt
now. 1 think It could he done hotter a fort
night hence, after the meeting of the
league. That will bo held In this city
shortly after the holidays. Philadelphia
was anxious to havo tho meeting there
and I bcc they sent out announcements that
It would bo held there, but that is not
true.
One thing I can say, however, and that
Is I don't think there will bo any wnr. Wo
aro not trying to provoke one, and the Na
tional leaguo Is In no position to carry on
one. They will think a long tlmo before
they will engage In a war In their present
condition.
Just remember now that tho hot nlr asso
ciation that met In Chicago during the
week was not tho American leaguo, and that
tho meeting of that body Is yet to convene
nnd you'll havo n good lino to back your
Judgment on.
HOW WEAK MEN
STRONG,
Only
tho ball player s woru. aiosi managers
know what that means. Woll, if base ball
Is to bo put on that basis, It simply comes
to anarchy. This 1b why The Deo puts no
dnnendenco In tho reports of rival leagues
and "two teams In every town" stories. It
Is hevond reason that men of sufficient
means to equip nnd ability to direct n sue
cessful baso ball team will deliberately put
themselves nt tho mercy of the players
Not that all players aro dishonest, for they
nre not. In fact. Tho Dee believes that
most base ball players aro ns honest nnd
trustworthy ob tho common run of men,
but there nro enougn rascals nnn iricKy
players to upset all plans. Old base ban
annals aro full of cates of contract Jump
ing nnd thoro Is no very good evldonce thnt
tho breed of players has much Improved.
In fact, Mr, Manning's complaint against
the National leaguo is based on a case of
contract Jumping, and the failure of tho big
leaguo to compensate him under the protec
tion clause of tho national agroement. Now,
If tho American leaguo deliberately dis
rupts the agreement under which even a
semblance of protection Is afforded, what
will be the reeult? The American lea-rue
Tebeau Is going quietly nhoad with his
arrangements at Kansas City and according
to all accounts has succeeded in securing
a most excellent location for his' park. Ho
Is now after players and Is likely to havo
llttlo troublo In getting together a good
team. If Denver Bhould bo dropped by tho
Western leaguo, which Is not nt all un
likely, then Tebeau will secure tho rovor
slon of his 1900 team and will thus havo a
splendid nucleus. Out In Denver Mr. Puck
ard, who Is tho successor to tho Denver
franchise, is talking of "bucking" jeocau,
whatever that means. Ho will certainly bo
allowed tho advantage of tho Denver reser
vations, In caso tbero is a Western team
In tho mountain town during tho coming
season. If there Is no team thoro ho will
have no need of tho players, thereforo his
talk about "bucking" Tebeau would seem
at leaBt suporerogatory.
Our own Colonel Keith Is feeling Just
about as easy as docs Tom I.awson of Bos
ton when ho puts out to sea on his mag
nificent now steam yacht. Which is to say,
Duck" !b living easy. Ho thinks he has a
good bunch of players on tho string and
when he meets Dill Itourke they both look
wise, and you'd think there wasn't nnythlng
but money coming in aij mo iirao. nuu
talking about money coming In, you should
havo seen Buck's face and Bill's when tho
Lincoln foot ball team failed to show up on
Christmas day. There was an olognnt
crcwd out at Vinton street park and tho
magnates had to pay back nil tho elegant
gate receipts. Mr. Keith had signed con
tracts with tho managers of tho Omaha and
Lincoln teams for tho games, guaranteeing
each team $150 and expenses for the Lin
coln team. He had been notified tho night
beforo by tho Lincoln manager that tho
team would bo here all right and on Christ
mas morning ho paid for tho tlckots on
which tho Lincoln boys wero to ride. Judge
of his surprise when over tho tinkling tele
phone lino ho received word about noon
Christmas day that the Lincoln boys would
not como. Aside from tho gate receipts, he
had to pay back, Colonel Jvclth was out
unmn nihor cnod slmoleons ho had ex
pended in advertising tho game, and ho
doesn't llko It a llttlo bit.
Magnato Dcall Is the only Western leaguer ,
who Is not on Easy street. His Sioux City
franchise seems doomed to extinction, and
ho hnsn't nny cinch on the St. Paul en-

leaguo rules. Charley Saulpaugh, who
owns tho Minneapolis team, doesn't proposo
to allow Perry Werden to manage tho St.
Paul team becauso tho plpo-dreumers picked
Perry for tho Saints without consulting the
magnato of tho Millers. Saulpaugh says
he has no objection to Werden managing
tho team, but he Is under contract to .inn
IN THE WHEELING WORLD. 1,
The six-day bicycle race In Madison Square
Garden, three weeks ago, scored a victim
in tho death of Oscar Aronson, In a Now
York hospital, a week ago. Aronson was
Injured In ono of tho. ralx-ups, but con
tinued In tho raco, exerting all his powers
to tho point of collapse. Publicly tho doctors
said ho died of pneumonia; prlvntcly, they
admitted that exhaustion waB tho primary
cause. '
Aronson was 25 years old. An ambltous
rider, proud of his record, ho was not an
easy man to beat. In fact. It is admitted
oven by the men who defeated him, that
tho nccldent that sent him to tho hospital
prevented him or his paitner, Habcock,
from riding under tho wiro closo to tho vic
tors. Aronson and Dabcock wero among the
leaders on tho night of tho accident. Then
came tho awful mix-up. It was ns bnd ns
was ever seen In Madison Square Garden.
Aronson was thrown many feet. H1b head
was gaBhcd; nnd wheels and riders piled
on top of him. His body wnB cut and
bruised In many places. Tho Swedo was
carried unconscious from tho trnck, hut re
turned later on.
Aronson first rnmo Into prominence in
Now Yor!;, in 1898, In tho six-day race,
when ho finished amonG the leaders. In
1899, his partner, Julius, dropped out, but
Aronson continued to rldo alone, nnd won
tho second individual prlzo. Later ho went
to San Franslco, and In a Blx-dny race
finished nccond to Charles Miller.
Jlmmlo Michael Is not tho whirlwind ho
was n fow years back. Last Saturday ulght
ho was defeated by Harry Elkcs by ono
nnd thrco-fourtha laps In a motor-paced
raco In Madison Square Gordon. Eight
thousand or moro porsons saw tho Glen's
Falls stripling practically run away from
tho Welsh "midget" In tho remarkably fast
tlmo of 0:20:3 2-5.
It required only Buch n victory ns this
to stamp Kikes as tho most marvelous
cycle rider at present In competition.
Within n fortnight ho has demonstrated
himself to bo nmong tho Btrongost of en
durance riders, tho fastest of sprint rldors
nnd tho greatest of mlddlo-dlstanee pare
followers. Ills record Is ono nover at
tained by nny other cyclist in tho nnnals
of tho sport.
From start to finish Elites nnd his match
with Mlchuol woll In hand, nnd ho crossed
tho lino with something up his sleeve. From
first to last ho followed but ono machlno, n
two and thrco-quarter horso-powor (;aso
lino tandem, whllo four times tho Welsh
man found It oxpedlont to change his pace
makers, .
On tho part of both principals the riding
was flawless. N"er n skip or a break made
Elkes and never a miss mado Michael. Tho
latter trailed his pulling motors as closoly
nnd beautifully as ho had ever done In his
life, but novor beforo had ho been called
upon to match tho speed of so formldablo
an opponent.
