THE OMAHA DAILY liJOJC: SUNDAY, MAIIOJI 10, 1001. 11 IDEAL. CIRCUIT IN PROSPECT Etrong Probability LouUrillo and Indian polli Will Be In Wcitern Leagm. QUESTION WILL BE DECIDED AT ST, PAUL Finn I'rniuurm tlir Propping of Denver unil the i:ilniliiii tlou of ii llndly I.op-ftlilcd (ire tilt Mnn uiitra .Meet Tueadny. There Is more than n remote possibility that Indianapolis anif Loulsvlllo will tin bilmltlcd'lDto tlie Western league. Indeed, tnsc ball affairs havo tnktn such a turn In tbo past two weeks that It now Bccma probable that the two cities mentioned will bo In Thomas Jefferson Mickey's organisa tion the coming season; A majority of the magnates of tho league are known to favor uch an outcome tfnd It Is now up to Walking of Indianapolis and I'ulllum of Louisville to make a move. It these two cHIcb are to have rlass A base ball this season tho Western leaguo lono affords tho opportunity. Their only alternative la to Join tho Intcrstato league, along with Orand Ilaplds, Dayton, Fort Wayne, Columbus, Detroit and Mansfield. Tho Intcrstato league Is a clans 1) organiza tion nnd tho fans of Louisville and Indian apolis, used as they am to tho best nrtlclo of base ball, will hardly bo content with any such arrangement. Indianapolis and Louisville, St. Joo and Kansas City, Omaha and Des Molnctf, St. I'atil and Minneapolis. What a league that would bo! Mow H would delight the heart of tho Omaha fan tn bo able to go down to tho Vinton street reservation next summer and see n battlo on the diamond between tllll Itourke's family and any one of tho other teams belonging to a circuit such us that outlined above. It would heein llko a return to tho Rood old days when tho Western league was In Its hoydoy. Tho Western league, after numerous post ponements nnd adjournments, was called to meet In St. I'atil last Thursday. Ju3t about tho tlmo tho magnates wefrc packing their Krlps mid ready to Hunt out for tho meet ing a telegram camo from President Hlckoy announcing nnothcr postponement and set ting tho date for next Tuesday. In -tho nbsenci) of n ir.oro plauslblo reason It looks nu though tho Indlanapolls-Loulsvlllo tues tlon Is browing nud that therein rests tho explanation for this change of dato for tho league's meeting. As aforomentloned, theso two cities are In rather n peculiar position. It's tho Western leaguo or no class A ball one or tho other, nnd your Uncle Wllllo Watklns 1h not going to pass up his Interests In thu Ilnoslcr capital without making n de perato struggle to periictuato llie slnccuro t hi rli a base ball franchise In that city means. Uncle Henry I'ulllam Is In Just about tho same tlx. Down In Loulsvlllo there Is n vigorous domnnd for base ba'll and your southern fan Is not going to bo utlillcd with any league that has In Its membership vlclungcs In tho remote sec tions of Indiana or Ohio. I With Louisville and Indianapolis In tho circuit tho Western leaguo would be an Meal organization. All of tho cities would bo "grouped In pairs and admirably situ ated for tho formation of an excellent iiehedulc. In tho event of their entry Into tho league tho doom of DenVor would bo sounded. Tnio enough, a franchise has been located In Denver, but It could eaUlly bo transferred. Mr. Packard, who ownn tho franchise, would undoubtedly be plnd to dispose of It If 11 reasonablo pur- ehaso prleo wero offered htm, nnd all of tho othnr magnates vyould breathe n sigh of relief to seo the western city lopped off nnd tho one-Bided circuit evolved Into an Ideal one. Tho managers n'ru beginning to II g urn out what their long Jump to Denver will bring forth. Much team will have to make tho trip to Denver three times aud play each tlmo Ihreo games on tho Denver ground?. That makes n total of nlno Karnes 011 tho Denver grounds between tho local team and cmth other club In the cir cuit. It Is e.temcly doubtful whether theso nlno games will produce revenue enough to pay actual expenses Incurred on tho trip. Manager Ilourko lintl llgured that thn three trips to Denver will cost Mm J2.250. which will Include railroad trarisportatlon and expenses of tho team whllo onrouto and .at Denver, as well as salaries. Last jenr In thu eloven games played at Denver tho Omaha team did not get that much money and the Ilourko fam ily was tho best drawing team that visited the Colorado capital. With tho financial status as It Is, tho members of tho Western league renllio that Denver Is u whllo elephant nud they will bo very gad to rU themselves of tho burden, In caso arrangements ran be per fected between either Louisville or Indlnn npolls for tho Denver franchise the rest will ho easy sailing. There Is sUlr"un un settled franchise In tho league (he ono that Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Sioux City havo been lighting for. Hilly llulen owns It, but It could easily bo located In Louisville or Indianapolis, nud llulen either taken enro of or his Interest bought out right. That tho situation will resolve Itself Into atich nn outcome looks more than rea sonable. Indianapolis and Louisville are understood to bo knocking at the door of tho Western league. If Watklns and , I'ulllam, respectively the representatives of baso ball In those cities, arc sincere In their pr6fesslons. then thero can be no doubt of tho solution of tho matter. They cannot reasonably expect to obtain fran chtses In such an organization ns the West ern without paying for them, and the ones to settle with are Packard and Hulcn. Tackard'Ts said to be not overly pleased I with the outlook for money, making with ! his franchise located In Denver, and would not bo averse to consideration of a propo sition from tho eastern magnates. Manager Ilourko of tho Omaha club has always been nn ardent supporter of tho expansion Idea. Ho faxored tho admission of Minneapolis, St, Paul and Kansas City when certain of his counsellors predicted dire disaster In such a step. No ono doubts tho wisdom of the course pursued by tho league officials thus far, and none questions the success of the coming season In the face of tho more than flattering outlook. Now Mr. Ilourko goes on record In favor of Loulsvtllo and Indianapolis. "I think tbo prospects for the admission of these two cities Into tho leaguo arc very bright," he says. 'Thcrc Is no doubt but' that tho league would ho strengthened thereby and tho circuit would certainly bo n better ono than with a lop-sldcd circuit, such as will be necessary with Denver as the only .wgat ern member. "Tho Influence, of the league would bo added to fjy tho admission of theso cttles and tho strength of tho organization from nn executive standpoint would bo greatly Increased with Watklns nnd I'ulllam In managerial positions. Tho circuit would be on admirable oue, nnd there wouldn't bo a weak team nor n weak city In tho entire league. St. Joe and Den Moines aro both good baso hall towns and will give n good showing cvon In comparison with tho mor pretentious cities In tho league. In both theso cities there Is an abundance of money behind the clubs and they will bo Iti tho running at nil stages." In view of this latest dovelopment tho meeting of tho league at St. Paul this week will bo watched with ri great deal of Interest by base ball enthusiasts tho country oer. The circuit problem has cor- talnly ussumed nn Importance "that ' was little anticipated. Instead of being merely tho oticsttoir "of settling the eighth fran- rhlso In Sioux City, Pueblo or Colorado Springs, It Is 0110 of far greater Import. Tls matter overshadows all others. Sched ule, players, reserve lists, claim lists nnd everything else have been relegated to tho tear to await their turn nftcr the nll-ab-sorblng question Ih disposed of. Tho formation of a schedule has been simplified by tho enlargement of tho circuit from six to eight clubs. Knch team will pluy ISO games, sixty-three at homo nnd sixty-three abroad. , Omaha, for Instance, will play eighteen games with each other club ih the league, nine of them on the homo grounds and nlno nway from home. Tho playing season will begin May 1 am. continue four mouths and a half. bo graded up to a level with the diamond1 and tho steep grade up nnd down which Eddie Lauton was wont to cavort Inst season will giro way to a surface as smooth as a billiard table. A club house 10x0 feet will be built under tho grandstand. This will be for the use of the players. It will bo provided with lockers, baths nnd toilets and will be a much-needed Improvement Tho entrances will also be improved upon and n second ticket window will be put In on the Thirteenth street side of the park. "Tho batter who gets anywhere near .100 with these new rules effective must bo a crnckerjack." said an old-tlmo fan yester day. "With the pitcher slamming the ball over the plate ns fast no ho enn keep going .Mr. Hatter Isn't going to have much of a snap. Tnlto theso old stagers, for Instance, who havo to square themselves around, get n cerlnln polso and then lay for tho proper ball they'll bo bo surprised at receiving the ball over tho pinto once u minute that they'll go clear up In tho air. "Hut I do not consider Hint tho now rules will work n hardship upon any par ticular player. Tho batter resolves tho ad vantage of having the catcher right back of tho plato nil tho tlmo and tho pitcher will havo the" best of It when tho fouling off of balls registers up a strike for each offense, unless there nro two strikes. Out west hero wo don't seo much of this fooling off. hut in each of the big lcaguu teams thero is a certain man who comes near driving a pitcher crazy becauso of his ability to foul off ball after ball. Take, for Instance, Thomas of tho 'Phillies, 'Muggsy' McOrnw, Koehler of llrooklyn and Mc Carthy of ChlcagQ. They aro able to mako a pitcher's life miserable for him whenever they got up to bat. "The new rules nro splendid In every particular. They will ginger up thu game nnd shorten It. No danger of baso ball games becoming monotonous or of spec tators getting tired out and leaving tho grounds along about tho seventh Inning. They'll stay to tho finish now nnd won't havo to miss their dinners, elthor.l' Tho many friends of J. A. Mcllvalno of this city will be pleased to lenrn that the genial "Mac" has been signed to pitch for Decatur In tho "Three 1" leaguo for the coming season. Mellrnlne has a wldo ac quaintance with the baso ball populnco of this city and Is recognized as n twrler of moro than ordinary ability. That ho will perform satisfactory service for Decatur Is a forcgono conclusion nnd tho management of that teamis to bo congratulated In secur ing his services, RYAN WINS GRUELING MATCH Tommy WcM It llefentrtl til 11 l-'li'rec KiitMiiinler nt l.mllh vllle (iioyiialil Hiitutiuied In IrTRiil Menlu-n, That class of prize fighting enthusiasts who delight in seeing a grueling match whero thero Is lots of goro and plenty of action would havo been moro than satiated by witnessing tho match between Tommy ltyan and Tommy West nt Louisville Mon day night. It, is characterized as being ono of tho most desperate encounters ever pulled off In the squared circle aud both men looked as" though .they had been hav ing nn argument with' n buzz saw when they came out of tho mill. Ilynn was the victor. In tho sovontechth round IVest found himself unable longer to stand tho punlshmcut meted out to him nnd Terry McOovcrn, ono of his seconds, throw up the sponge. Thu fight was cer tainly not tinged with anything bcnrlng n semblance of fixing or fnkcry. In tho early part of tho contest honors were nbout even and the result was In doubt, but nftcr tho ninth round Hynr. had everything his' own way. Ho pounded and pummclcd his nil versiiry until West, looked lke,ho.had been, the chief actor In a grand beef-slaughtering contest. Ilynn Valil after tho battlo was over that It was ono of the hardest he over had pint his nppenranco boro out tho truth of tho statement. At ono stage of (he struggle West looked like an easy winner. That was In tho sec ond round, when h'o sent Ilynn to tho floor for the full count twice. Hut Ilynn after ward recuperated nnd West was all In early In the game. At the end of tho ninth round both men wero In such condition that n police rnptaln detailed to watch tho light called n halt, but his action was hissed by the crowd and he determined to let them have their money's worth. And they certainly got, It. Tho men entered the ring In fit condition. They had been In training for several weeks and mot nt cntch-welghts, both men weighing In at about 167 pounds. "Thero won't bo a boozer on the Omaha team next year," saya Manager Hourke. "Absolute sobriety Is oue of tho things that I will demand of my players. A ball player cannot accomplish his best work when ho spends his nights In carousal and comes on tho Held tired out nnd perilous under the Influence of liquor. So far as I know I haven't signed n man who Is addicted to tho habit and If I find out that any of them aro flirting with tho grape off goes his head." y Tho Omaha players will report for duty April 1 and a month of good, hard practlco will bo engaged In beforo tho opening of tho season. Manager Hourke will have a regu lar routluo mapped out for his players and beforo the month of April Is finished ho oxpects to havo every man-Jack of them In prime condition. Contracts hnvo been let for Improvements nt the Vinton street park which will nfld materially to the field. Tho right field will Louisville is about tho only city where tho fighting gamo Is not tabooed. . How long it will bo permitted to run thero Is a question. Tho smaller fry have thus far becti nblo to fight unmolested at Osh kosh und Memphis, but theso cities aro too small to offer nny inducements for tho big guns In tho pugillstla firmament. Down nt .Memphis a recent fiasco, such aB Omaha had In the Supples-Abbott hippodrome, re sulted In tho dlschnrgo of all tho olTlclals of tho athletic club which has been pulling off tho fights. Paddy Carroll, a well known match-maker, who has been olliclntlng In that capacity for tho Star theater at Chi cago, will havo churgo of tho Memphis club In tho future and has 11 number of good events on the string. Harry Harris nnd Pedlar Palmer nro to meet In London before the National Sport ing club March 18. Considerable Interest Is manifested In tho bout by enthusiasts on this sldo of the big pond. Hoth men nro exceedingly clever and if Smith succeeds In defentlng bis opponent It will bo n big feather In his cap. Smith writes from London thnt ho has been developing a short-arm punch, a In Terry McOovcrn, nnd expects ro deal Inlmer all. sorts of trouble by Its use. Poor Joe Choynskl, always unlucky, Is up against 11 flcrco proposition In Texas. Joo went down to Galveston a short tlmo ago to show a colored fellow, who was touted by tho Galveston sports as a win ner, that he wasn't such n much, and It didn't tnko him long to shut off tho sun shlno for that darkey. Three rounds did the business and Joo had corralcd n little velvot and wns feeling on Easy street In these days of dlro distress for tho ordinary run of pugilists. Ills felicitation wns short-lived, however, for the sheriff stepped In nnd Joo Is now In durance vllo, with n charge preferred against lilm which Is a penitentiary offense. The governor of tho stato 1b banking the prosecution and U looks pretty dark for poor Joe. Ohoynskl's misfortune will havo tho effect of steering tho pugilists owny from Texas for all future time. Tho Ixme Star stato has always been a hoodoo to prize lighters. A special session of tho legislature was once called to preveilt a tight scheduled to takg placo within tho stato between Corbett and ''ltzslmmons.

Tho mighty Clarksons wero mudo to hlto tho dust of dofeat by ono bf tho ndmlttr'dly weak tenms of tho city league tho KfiiK Parks. At Clark's alleys Monday ulght tho KriiK Parks won two of tho three games played and tho members of tho victorious team took ns keen .enjoyment out of their achievement ns If they had jumped up to second or third placo In the percentage column. In tho closing days of tho league race tho ono umbltlon of thu tennis that aro sched uled to meet tho Clnrksons Is to defeat tho topnotchcrs. The Clnrktons cannot possibly loso the trophy because not enouKh games remain yet to bo played to permit tholr losing first place, but l their por t'uritngu call bo" lowered, n deal of.gratl llcatlon will be taken by tho .other clubs in tho league. The Knlg Parks put tho first crimp Into tho lenders Momlny night nnd local bowlers have not yet recovered from tho surprise tho news occasioned. Tho members of' tho Clnrkson team were all decidedly off-color. Ilrunke, Conrad and Denham bowled about ns badly as they possibly could and seemed absolutely tin able to collect themselves nnd get Into their usual form. Their scores made tho score sheet resemble tho record of so many imn'tcuis. Tho Krug Parks, on tho other hand, bowled In splendid form. None of them mado particularly hlglj scores, but I heir bowling) tyus consistent.. In tji 0 jlJ9R y Aly s 'i t was plal;j to tho spec tators that tho Clarksono were out .of form, although they won (he first game.

In tho ilrst game Crcodon of tho Krug Parks scored 197. The Clarksons' total score In tho first gamo wns 81." and tho Krug Parks 839. in tho second nnd third games the Clarksons went nil to pieces und tholr opponents, profit ing by the evident wcnkenlng of the Clnrk sons, bowled their very best. Tho Krug Parks, by u coincidence, made tho samo score lu tho second und third games 809. Tho Clnrksons Bcorcd 800 in tho second nnd 790 In tho third. In tho series tho Clnrksons scored 2,491' and tho Krug Parks 2,157. The teams participating In this match consisted of thu regular membership. Tho Krug Parks wero Conery, Nellscn. Hanson, Crcodon nnd P. Krug. Tho Clarksons woro Donman, Urunke, Lancaster, Conrad nnd Clnrkson. Only two weeks more remain of Mm league race, Tomorrow night the Nntlounla meet 1110 Clnrksons nnd n week later tho Omahaa will do battlo with tho top-notch-crs.. Members of both tennis lmvn hinn practicing assiduously during tho last week alid-hopo to havo tho credit of following the splendid example sent by tho Krug Parks. Tho Onto Cltys forged to tho front last week nnd nro now anchored In third plare, with the prospc.ctH pretty favorablo for sticking there.- Nn possibility exists of shoving tho Clarksons nud the Omnium out of first nnd second places, respectively, al though tho end of tho season may Und a realignment of the percentage columtvso far as third and fourth places nro con cerned. Tho Gate Cltys figure, howovpr, that In tho two games they nro yet to play they ought to be nhlo to hold their own nnd in .that case their berth Is secure. Por fourth placo tho Sterlings and St. Chnrlos nro hit ting n lively clip, Last.weck tho two teams wero tied with a percentngo of .184. Tholr coutcst Thursday night changed tho com plexion of things nnd leaves thu fit. Charles ns active candidates for third placo, but by 110 means removes tho excitement which will attend tho closing games of tho season In which those rival organizations aro to participate. So successful has been tho tournament of the City Howling league that plans aro nl ready Incubating for the formation of n spring league, to begin Immediately after tho close of tho present season, which ends Thursday night, March 23. All of the teaniB belonging to tho present Ieaguu will likely bo candidates for membership In tho spring league. If thero shall be a vacancy or nn Increaso in tho number of club members a new team which has Just been organized at tho Ooto City alleys will try for n pine?. Tho team Is captained by Chnrllo Seaman, manager of the Oato City alleys, and In eludes beside him Charles Allen, Ed Ham mond, Roy Gillespie nnd Henry Lehmer. All of theso gentlemen nro cxccllout bowier.i und their club will undoubtedly co'mo to the front. Thero Is also considerable d.scunslon about tho formntlon of it trl-clty lenguo,. with members from Omnbn, South Omaha and Council Bluffs. At both South Omaha nnd tho muffs thero nro, a number of teams composed of bowlers of rpcognlzed ability nnd thoy nro anxious to got into a leaguo with tho Omaha clubs. It Is unlikely tint there will bo n mid summer Icngue. Proprietors of the. bowling alloys expect that thero will bo no flagging of Interest In bowling during tho summer months. Thoy bnso this belief on tho fnct that last summer there wns n great deal of enthusiasm manifested In tho gnmo and nt that tlmo bowling Interest was by no means ns deeply motod as It Is at present. During tho summer, however, thero will ho so many other attractions that a schoilulo would bo Interfered with by reason of tho absence of members of cortaln of tho tenms. This would mnko nn unsatisfactory condi tion of affairs and It Is thought the better plan ljy prominent bowlers not to uttempt a midsummer league. After tho sprlns tournament ends tho balance of tho season until tho beginning of tho fnll tournament will be occupied In Indlvldinl work and diligent practice on tho part of candidates who hopo to be members In the teams that enter tho fall nnd winter leagues."
