A liook Ahead. Though it is rather early In the base ball eenson to indulge In prognostications of any sort , still judging by the work already done , it would seem that the honor of capturing the western association pennant rests be tween Omaha and St. Paul , with a prolmbil- | { y that Denver and Milwaukee will yet have a good aeal to say in the premises. Denver and Milwaukee nro mentioned , although they are both behind St. Joe and Sioux City , from the simple fact tnat they are the next In strength to the leaders , and are bound to play great ball pro long. Milwaukee has been In hard lines o\Jr siuco the champion ship season opened , with all her star players cither crippled or knocked out of condition during their iM-udvisrd preliminary tour. They aro. however , made out of the right stuff up there , and will pure neither pains nor expense to got a team together as good as the best of them. There is little doubt but that Milwaukee is booked for the next American association vacancy , \ylilch will occur just as soon as the National league absorbs Cincinnati and Brooklyn , which Is as Inevitable us death or taxes. As to Sioux City and St. Joe , the former will cut n much bettor llguro than the latter , nnd should not bo too fnr forgotten in the championship calculations. Dos Moincs Is the weakest team in the association. So. far as the National league goes , the , big light is Dotween Boston , Now York and Phil- wlclphU. with Pittsburg figuring us a dark Horse. Now York , without the aid of Tim Keofe , should hardly hope to beat out the Upun eaters' magnlncunt aggregation. Boa- tonn ! chances are of u decidedly roseate hue. , Tlio American association pennant will , barring accident or an extraordinary troalc of misfortune , again go 'to St. Louis. But as there Is noting in tbo world uioro uncertain than base ball , and , therefore , liardly anything tuore fascinating. It is atill possible , without the assistance of thcso two contingencies , for Homebody to creep up on the Browns , and beat them under the wire. Kansas City Is already trailing close , but the writer looks for the Cowboys to tuko a fearful tumble cro many duys. Brooklyn and the Athletics uro the two teams to be apprehended. Balti more , too , la playing stlftlj' , but Cincinnati ' sky la woefully overcast , and Columbus and Louisville are already out of the tight. on the Mnuhlnr. _ Tliat the recent visits of the lady cyclers h'avo Inoculated the fair onr hereabouts , tea a certain extent , Is attested by the subjoined uoto handed in at this ofllco last evening : OMAHA , Nob. , May 10. To the Sporting Editor of THE BI-.K : I noticed a paragraph lu a prominent Chicago dally , yesterday. commenting upon ludy bicycle riders and races , uiu\ which closed with the statement that ' , 'rt lady who has KUfnclCMt leuii'rlty to go Into a blo.vclo nice must lose much of the rhnrni v''trl 0 woinnulltfesj. onU that It Is Tint u | > r6pVtr f Ecu.V.lCl ! for ladles anyway. " While I entertain a similar opinion , only modliioU , about the Molng ImttliesS , I must uUforwith - tbo. wriUr. about , Us being a& , unbecoming or Improper recreation for our lex , I think It a most delightful and benefi cial exercise , and consequently am learning to master the wheel myself , I do not ap prove of young eirls la short dresses , luountcd on full-sUed ladle1 bicycles and making n parade of themselves jn public places , a they are now doing In some of the ' ' eastern cltlon , hut 1 do not soo'wh'y a lady should not prticrvo her dignity and the charm of her womalincs's on d bicycle as well as on horseback , and so far as the pleasure and good results of the practice go , the latter cannot bo com pared with the ioruicr. However , newspa per comment , will hardly bo sufficient to chock n very liberal indulgence in the now fad , and lady bicycle riders , ere long , will bo a common and pleasing enough sight upon our smooth boulevards. Respectfully , MXIILE. The Williams-Stanley Itncr. Talk of a match race between Lily Wil liams , of this city , and Lottlo Stanley , of Now Yojk , has been revived , and there Is a prospcot that the great event will coino oft some time soon , either in this city or Gotham. The race is to bo 100 miles , for a nominal stake and the entire gate as well as the championship of America. Miss Williams is in excellent condition , and. not to bo caught napping , Is In dally practice at the Coliseum. She seems a little' bit afraid of the redoubtable Now Yorkerbut has no cause to be , as she is undoubtedly the best lady bicylo rider in America if not the world. The race she won over the Eck-Morgan com bination was a vcrtlblo walk-over , and she would have doubtless won the second race had not a series of mishaps overtaken her. She was riding n waiting race , but intended to give her admirers hero the worth of their money by distancing her fair competitors on the IImil day. Miss Williams expects to know definitely about the match with Stan ley this week , as Manager O'Brien , ot Now York , promises to have thn matter definitely settled ono way or other within the next three or four days. IHcyclos vs. HorsCH. Commencing two weeks from to-morrow , Monday , the 37th , the Coliseum will be the theater of as thrilling u race as it has yet witnessed , In the six days' struggle , bicyclennes against equestriennes. The race will bo four hours u day , four bicycle riders vs. two hnrsRWomcn , for $500 a side , the for mer to relieve each other every fifteen minutes , and the horse rulers every thirty minutes. Twenty horses will bo used in the raco. The ladies comu from Crystal Lake , Kan. , and uro said to bo magnificent riders , The "Joo Gnrneaug. Messrs. MuKclvey and Rockwell have or ganized a very strong semi-professional team , which has been christened the "Joo Garncuus. " They will play every Sunday at Lake Mauawa. commencing on the 12th with the Union Pacifies of this city. They have a nicely fltted-up park over there nnd Intend to furnish summer guests with plenty of good base ball. The roster of the Garneaus is as follows : Bandol catch , Saulisbury pitch , Rockwell first , Hummel second , Me- Kclvey third , Blttingor short , Baldwin left , Strode middle , and Stoukman loft. The Chicago Parades. The parade committee has decided on a number of runs and parndesduring the week of the tournament. To-day , May Iti , there will be a run to Mnywood , leaving the Leland hotel at 10:80 : , The tournament opens at 2:30 : , on Monday , and at 7 o'clock sharp there will bo n lantern parade , leaving the north end of the exposition building. This will last about half an hour. Riders may come with machines already decorated , or may procure lantern at the building , arrange ments having been nindo to have a huge supply on hand. Friday , May 27. there will bo another. parade , leaving the Leland - land at 7 o'clock sharp. Saturday a run to Cheltenham will"occur , . leaving In time to witness the Stone-Lumsden race at Chelten ham Beach. On Sunday visitors will be taken over the celebrated Pullman course , leaving the Lelund atll j m. All local clubs have been requested to ap- poml a tuttn for each afternoon of the tour- namcnti to''tneot vultors at headquarters , and escort them to1 Burtr-pohitroHnterest as they inov desire to visit. N. H , Van Blcklen will serve as marshal at the parades , select his associates and ar range the routes. The head Quart era of the tournament are at the Palmer House. Annual Btalo Tournament. The IHtceuth annual tournuuieut of the State Sportsmen's association will bo held at Norfolk on May 21 , 23 , 23 nnd 2-1. A largo delegation of local sportsmen will go up from this city , and preparations are being made for nn unusually largo at tendance. Ono of the most in teresting special events will bo a one hundred live bird match between Charlie W. Budd , thfl chumplou trap shot of the world , of Des Moines , la. , and Colonel Frank S. Parmeleo , of this city. The Omaha man is shooting in line form , and it will require the very nicest kind of work at the bands of the champion to Deut him. Budd.is a great shot , that is a well estab lished ! fact , but his record for the past year has been but medium. Ho has been beaten in a similar match by Dr. Carver , and tied twice by J. II. Slice , of Jacksonville , 111. , and Parmoleo stands a goad chance of scor ing a notable victory. At any rate ho will have numerous backers , and do his best to down the champion. A Blood-CurrtllnK Challenge. Hero , you stalwart , rugged , brawny croquet players , is on opportunity for you to distinguish yourselves : Pi.ATTBMODTii , Nob. , May 10. To the Sporting Editor of THE Bun : Wo would like to have everybody Know that wo have a croquet club in Plattsmouth , and the ilncat grounds lu the state , and if there Is any club in Onmna or any other city which would like to visit us , they can consider themselves challenged for the state's championship.

The horse editor was among tbo spectators yes terday morning , on a special invitation of Mr. Nat Brown , to BOO the famous pacer U Bet hooked up for the second time this spring with his running mate , Jack-Go-Easy. Tuo pair arc. certainly la great shape. H Bet looking as line as silk , with his bright eyes , shiny coat of brown , and symmetrical , tapering limbs. Ho has wintered well , was never In such promising condition , nnd it is quite probable that some time during tbo coming campaign will knock a second or two out of his world-renowned mark. .Tack- Go-Easy Is also in great fettle. Ho Is big and strong , and as full of devilment as a two- yeur-old. Ho has got a great head on him , and Tobo Broderiok handles the pair like a couple of well ' .ruined children.

The ladies are'becomin Infatu- ateu with the "two-whe&ler , " and it Is be- coining a perfect craze in Boston , New York and other metropolitan cities. This excite ment has all originated since the first public race of the lady combination which raced In the Coliseum last week , and riding schools are springing up all over the country. Cy cling is very popular in Omaha , aud the girls are bound to catchy the fo'ver. There was a tlrne , and but n short while 'ago , that a ludy would be deprived of no llttlo caste to bo seen upon a bicycle on a public street , but it won't bo long before such a spectocle will bo common enough and attract no unusual at tention. ' . Arrangements are 'being ' made for a great road rnco between a team of the Omaha Wheel club and ono from the Council Bluffs Uamblers. The rucejls to bo a twenty mile straightaway for a hjuudsomo silver cup and is to bo run some time about the middle of this month. 1 Although the laaifes who nro to ride ttie wheels In the coming six day race against horses are not named In 'tho articles of agreement , it can bo accepted as authorita tive that they arS none less than Beautv Baldwin , Jesse Woods , Jesse Oakcs and Kit tle Brown.

The evolution of the bicycle from a tov to n machine of practical utility has boon one of the notable details in the progression of the last few years. The club runs have been very well at tended. On tbo run to Glenwood of April 28 , fifteen members were present. If this interest is kept up during the season , the club \vill have a mileage of about forty thousand miles for the year. Last month's alone amounted to nearly fifteen hundred miles , and ail runs taken were short at that. Mr. F. N. Clarke has been appointed chief consul for this state of the L. A. W. n very good choice , as fp.w men are better known among the riders than ho. As soon as his papers arrive ho will appoint league hotels throughout the state , and particularly ut all the suburban towns to which the wheelmen are in the habit of riding during the season. Ho will also look to the rights of the frater nity , so , "road hogs , " beware. Messrs. Adams & Sons , chewing gum manufacturers , have offered two gold medals valued at $100 and * 50 , the first of which will bo presented to the American wheelman who makes the highest one month's record be tween the first day of May and the first day of November , 1889. The $50 medal will bo presented to the wheelman making the second end highest record. AH records must be submitted to C. W. Fourdrinlcr , of the Bicycling World , or F. P. Prinl , of the Wheel. Records must bo accompanied by sworn affidavits of the rider and captain of the club to which ho belongs. The aftldavit must state the distance ridden each day , and the cyclometer must bo inspected before and after the trial. The cyclometer used mused bo tested before final awards are made. The following Is from the O. W.
