Who Will Win.
It now looks very much as if the great bat-
J tlo between John L. Sullivan and Jake KI1-
raln , fixed for July 8 , near Mississippi City ,
La. , would surely eomo off. The late stories
of John L.'s drunkenness and refusal to train
have been thoroughly Investigated and pro
nounced false. Unless his trainers , William
MulOoon , MIke Clenry and Jack Barrett , are
deluding themselves , John Is doing the hard
est and most vigorous training of his Ufa. Ills
training grounds tire at picturesque Belfast ,
Allcgtiany county , right In the hcurl of the
Blue mountains. Sullivan Is in his thirty-
first year , and a few months ICilraln's senior.
Ho Is 5 feet 10 inches tall , and fights at VJ5
pounds. Ills measurements , when ho was
considered the luvlnclblo pugilist , were :
Chest , 44 inches ; biceps , 1U > / ; calf , 15) :
thigh , 27.
Kllruin is also training hard and fast get
ting into formidable fighting trim , but it h
highly improbable that ho can ever re-ich
Sullivan's standard. Ills training ground Is
Hnrrlng Hun , five miles outsldo of Balti
more , where ho had the fight with Frank
Herald , that the police put a stop to. 1CI1-
rain stands Jive feet , ten and n half Inches
high and is heavier than Sullivan. When
last In fighting trim his measurements were :
Chest , 41 Inches ; upon and around the bl
eeps , 10 Inches ; forearm , 14 Inches ; waist , ! 11
inches ; thigh , S3 Inches ; calf of leg , 10X
inches. Ho wears u No. 0 shoo nnd n No. U
glove , and tt takes a soventoon-inch collar to
cnclrolo his neck. Ho trains under the
oupot vision of Johnny Murphy , of Boston ,
and Charley Mitchell , and is expected to
gain very considerable- benefit from tlio ad-
vlco of the latter , who has tackled the big
follow himself and ought to know all about
Sullivan's relative strength and weak points.
However , this question cuts no ligucs with
parties at n distance. The ono question Is ,
Yvho will win ? The following of tbo two
gladiators in Omaha is pretty evenly di
vided , with Sullivan n slight favorite.
Jimmy Lindsay , Patsy Gallon , Ed Hothory ,
Arthur Uothcry , Ed Miller , Uillv Hawley ,
Homer Kirk , Jack McLurnod , Billy Mel-
druin.Jack Nuccut , Colonel W. H , Bock.uiid
the majority of the men who have seen many
fights and lighting men , are all staunch bo-
Hovers In Sullivan's prowess. Still , this sip-
nitlcs nothing , and uffords no tip as to the
outoomo of the fight.Thu fact Is set forth
by the ICilraln men that the battle Is to bo
under London prlzo ring rules , which gives
JCilrala a big advnntau'o to start with , big
John's hold being always marquis of Queens-
berry style of fighting , ICilraln Is thoroughly
up on the London ring style , and , moreover ,
is as uyilo us n boy in his btdo-way tlodgo of
blows. Ho Iscry , very quick with his
hands , too. But Sullivan's backers ubbort
that John , under Muliloon's training , Is fast
mastering the tilrks and mysteries of wrest
ling , nnd will meet Kilram on practically an
oven footing. They assort , too , that John
was never In better health , and never was
nblo to deal such awful pile driver blows as
ho delivers In his practice. It goes without ,
saying that if the Boston Boy gets la ono
good , fair , square smash with his aw I'll
lioncy-montgomory , it will bo all day
with English Jako. His friends , however ,
think ho is clever enough to get out of the
way cf ull these nllo-urivor blows until Sul
livan tires , then ha can sail in nnd gradually
do him up. Kllrutn in credited with being
iho finest specimen of physical man that
ever got ready to enter the arena against blir
Jobn , atd : he undpubtodly woulO UHO to sail
In and do up the big follow. But can ho do
111 Sullivan's friends in Now York and
other eastern cities are betting $1UO to $ SO
that ho cannot.
From the palmiest days of the old English
prize ring , thirty-five or forty years ago ,
there have been countless champions , but
the king of them all is John Lawrence Sul
livan. Hcoinn | , Saycrs , Morrissey , Yankee
Sullivan , Tom Hyor , Joe Coburn and Jem
Mace were all great fighters , but not ono of
thorn ever exhibited the scicnco of pugilism
as John L. has portrayed it in his b.ittles.
Notwithstanding all thoio facts , there uro
plenty of so-called Hporw right hoio In
Omaha , who In their fancied preference for
ICilraln , ask what has John L. over done to
merit this praiso. Lot them glance fern
n minute over his record :

Whllo speaking of the great John L. , Kil-
rain ruu'it not bo ignored. Ha is entitled ,
also , to the fullest meed of rralso , as a study
of his record attests. His first light of any
note wtis late in tlio fall of IST'J , when hemet
met Jaoic Daly. Jack hailed from Lawrence ,
Mass. , and had considerable local reputation.
Ho was put to sleep In two rounds. Juke
was now a tall , luindsoir.o follow , of magnifi
cent physique and ongoing innuncnt. Jem
Drlscoli thought ho couiil best Jake , but his
dourest friend would never have recognized
him alter Ms coming to after tlio final round.
Dan Dwyer , nn iron inolder , who worked in
the mill with Jake , bccamo Jealous of the
Uuter'i ' : reputation , and u uieotlng was ar
ranged between them. It was a brutal affair ,
but Jake came out wilt Hying colors.
Shortly afterward Dennis Hunch , of flavor-
hill , Mass. , bccamo an employe of the roll
ing mill. Dennis was u rapid two-handed
fighter , strong as an ox and very courageous.
IIu challenged Jake , and through Jlui
Kccnan , who keeps tlio far famed rnsort in
Portland street , Boston , the fight was
brought about. It was a long and despomto
battle , und It VMS by good generalship on
ICilrain's pait that ho pulled through. Ho
next knocked out Harry Alton , old Joe Goss'
protege , and Guorga has shortly thereafter
added to his string of victims. Ho fonucht
n draw with Jim GooJe this same year nnd
U < < m was mulched against Charlie- Mitchell
"
with whom ho also" made a draw. After this
bo pat Jerry Murphy to'sleep In four min-
utni ; SlicrlfT , the Prussian , In two rounds ,
Jim McGlyun in throe , und a draw with
( jojrgo Fryer , the Englishman. His follow
ing import , mi Qghl was with Trank Herald ,
who ho stopped in a single round , and then
Joe Launon received a like fata in forty-
thrco minutes. After the Lauuon fignt Jim
Keenan , Boston's great sporting man , who
died tiuadny night last , at his home in Som-

Clipper , to back the challenge. Sullivan was
forced to relinquish his axulted title. But
lot the truth bo known as to the reason. Sul-
hvnn had broken ono of the boxes of his
right arm between the wrist and the elbow
in a light with Patsy Cardiff at Minneapolis
on the Ibth of the preceding January. The
injured member had been set and healed , 'tis
rue , but owing to malformation had to bo
robroken and reset. So when ICilraln issued
this challenge Sullivan was carrying his for
midable right incased in plaster of pads.
Jake's last light was with the British
champion Jem Smith , which took place on
the Isle of St. Pierre , Prance , December 19 ,
18TO. Ono hundred and six rounds were
fought without cither runn gaining an ad
vantage , and darkness setting in hostilities
ceased. Next day the men were to resume
lighting , but through the intercession of
mutual friends , thu fight was declared a
draw. The actual lighting time was two
hours and thirty-ono minutes.
Kllraln has not fought since then , and It is
a question with many pugilistic connoisseurs
whether ho will ever bo as good a man as he
was that day. However , this will bo settled
for once and all two weeks from to-morrow ,
when ho meets in the squared circle , the
greatest of all champions , John L , Sullivan.
A delegation of ten or a dozen Omaha
sporting men , accompanied by a correspon
dent of Tun BEE , will leave this city for the
seeno of the. fight next Friday evening a

THE POLO IjlSAGUE.
Chicago Makes Application For
Membership.
The prospects of a Polo league , Including
Kansas City , St. Joe , Lincoln , DOS Moines ,
Sioux City and Omaha , as mentioned la last
Sunday's BEB , has sot the lovers of athletic
sports all agog , and the universal desire Is
to sco the scheme consumma
ted. Polo would bo grand sport
for thu Colisutn building during
the long winter ovor.lngs , and no mistake. It
is a lively , rattling , invigorating game at all
stages , and never fails to work an audience
up to the fovcr heat of excitement. In this
respect it is oven moro exhilarating than
buKcball , and Is extremely popular wherever
played. Manager Prlnco Informs Tin : BUB
that ho bus opened up a correspondence
with parties In Kansas City and the other
cities named , and that a lively interest is
already manifested there. Ho thinks that ,
after the baseball season begins to wane , no
difliculty will bo experienced in organizing
the proposed lenguo and getting It on a per
manent footing for the autumn and winter
months. The sujrting editor ot Tun BEB
has received a letter from Chicago on the
subject , stating , la case the loairua material
izes , that the Windy City would like to become -
come n member. Chicago , however , Is a
trlllo out of the circuit , but Manager Prince
will confer with interested parties there.

There will bo a game of ball pluvcd this

teenth and Yinton streets , between tlio West
Omaha base ball club and Hascall's He-
serves. This game will bo for blood , as both
clubs as anxious to meet and dccido which
Is the superior.
The Western association is afflicted with
the dumbest staff of umblres of any base ball
association In the country. Sandy McDor-
inott is the only competent man of the entli-o
outfit , and ho Is the equal of the best in the
business. Cuslcic , Hurley , ICelloy and old
Davoy Force , are simply vllo.
Young Sawders Id un ambidextrous
plttcbcr , ho is a south-haw , but throws to
tlrst base to catch runners napping with his
right hand. Several weeks pgo ho pitched
four Inninu's with his right hand when his
club way ahead and ho hold his opponents
down well. Sawders practices pitching
right-handed almost daily ,
The Milwaukee club wants a meeting of
the western association called for the pur
pose of deposing Secretary Sain Morton.
Denver and Sioux City will back Milwaukee ,
and the inovo tn'ay amount to a good deal.
Morton surely has never been a benefit , to
this association , and It was an Ill-advised
plecoof work that made h rn secretary.
Secretary Qulnn , of thq Milwaukee club ,
has begun a crusade against Secretary Sam
Morton , whom he charges with being cither
Incompetent or grossly.ncgllgont. Mr. Qulnn
has asked President McCormiok to call a
special meeting of the Western association to
elect a now secretary. Denver and St. Jos
eph liavo joined In the request.
Long , tbo Kansas Citya' shortstop , Is about
as brilliant , if not moro so , than Sinitn , of
tbo Urnoklyns , but just as erratic as the lat
ter. Ho is a young player and will no doubt
gradually steady down. If ho does , ho will
bo hard to beat in his position , as ho plays n
very deep Hold and covers a largo amount of
territory.
With ttio hope of obviating a flood of ques
tions that are constantly pouring in
on the base ball editor with ref
erence to the present systoni of scoring , the
following information is proffered : Don't
give a pitcher a fielding assist for striking
out a man. Ho Is entitled to that credit In
the summary only , Don't score a man "at
bat" if ho Rota his base on bulls or Is hit by

It was again demonstrated that riding rutty

Mr. Roberts , of Colllcsvlllo , who was to

Was the pralrlo chicken open season cur
tailed by an act of the legislature , if so ,
when does Icbugln this year < If not changed
what do you think of the present law ! On-
tho-Wing , Beatrice.
Ans , It was not.althouKh the Omaha Qun
club had nn amendment to the law drawn up
by Judge Kennedy covering this very point
nnd Introduced by Christian Spccht , but for
some Inexplicable reason it was laid on the
shelf. The present law Is wholly inade
quate , nnd should bo improved upon at the
earliest possible moment. 1'ralrlo chicken
shooting bsglns a month too early in this
state , und a vast portion of the slaughter Is
oven dona before the open season arrives , The
market hunters go at it as early as the second
end week in August , and It is almost In
variably the uasti at this time that you sco
the old birds scurrying bolero the dog , or
limping and trailing with drooping wing , a
sure Indication that the littio chicks are hid
ing somewhere In the swale or brush. Just
now , as is generally the case at this time of
the year , a big crop of birds Is predicted ,
But In September on the first day of
which month the open season
begins you will ilnd that the con
scienceless market hunter has been out before
fore you , and that the bulk of the birds are
non cst. The game and fish laws of No-
'iraslca need patching up most wofully.
Mckon shooting ought not to bo allowed u
day before the 25th of September , and If
some such change lu not soon brought about ,
good-bya to this noble bird , for a low moro
years will accomplish ita extinction.

Tlio Cry of the Dreamer.
Jiimrs lioulc O'ltetUy.
I am tired of planniiiR and tolling
In the ciowded hives of men ;
Heart weary of building and spoiling
And spoiling and building again.
And I long for the ilcui old river
Where I dreamed my youth awoyj
For n dreamer lives forever ,
And a toiler die.s In a day.
1 am sick of the showy seeming
Of a Ufa that is half a Ho ;
Of the faces lined with scheming ,
In the throng that hurries by.
From thu sleepless thought's endeavor
I would go wticrc the children play ;
For a dreamer HVOH forever ,
And a toiler dies in a day.
I fool no prldo , but pity
For the burdens the rich endure ;
Tlioro is nothing sweet In the city
But the patient lives of tlio poor.
O , the little hands so skillful ,
And thu child mind choked with weeds ,
The daughter's heart grows willful ,
And thu father's heart that bleeds , *
No , no 1 from the street's rnilo bustle ,
From trophies of mart and Htugo ,
I would Jly to the wood's low rustle ,
And tlio meadows kindly.nago.
Let mo dream as of old by thn river ,
And bo loved lor the dream alway ;
For a drcutnur lives on forever ,
And a toiler dies in a day.
