" Ono week from next Tuesday the two
great champions of the prUo ring , John L.
Sullivan and Jnko Kilrnin , will dccldo iho
question of superiority. As the time draws
near , Interest in the event seems to intensify
and it has become the topic of general
conversation everywhere in the cars , on the
streets , at tha hotels , saloons , barber
shops , and In fact at all points where men
congregate. Muny predict that it will bo the
greatest battle in the history of Festiania ,
whllo others nro willing to bet at long cdds
that even now the two gladiators will not
come together. There nro not a few who
nro of the opinion that Kilraln will carry off
the banner of victory , but the largo majority
pin their faith on Sullivan , and It may bo
very properly stated In thUconnection that
ho well merits the confidence that has been
reposed in him. Ills failure in knocking out
Charley Mitchell was a crlovious disap
pointment to him , nnd his upper
most dcslro now is to paralyze
Kllruln , und thereby regain the good will of
the American people as well us the prestige
bo formerly enjoyed.
There lias been llttlo said or written
about two former meetings tlint occurred ho-
tween Sullivan und Kilraln , and on both oc
casions John L. was to victor. It U true
Kilrain was not near so clover a lighter as ho
is jto-day , nor had ho much ot u reputation.
Ono of the fights occurred in Hoston , und
Kilrnin was so badly punished that ho was
forced to throw up the sponge at the close of
the third round. In the second meeting
Kilrulu again quit of his own accord , for
had tie continued the chances uro he would
buvo been annihilated.
The light wus with two ounce gloves , nnd
the Hultluioro man refused to come to the
scratch when time was called for the third
round. Ho wus badly used up and did not
Boom to nuvu a possible show against the
champion. Kltnun , Sullivan claims , was un
easy murk , but ho thinks ho has learned con
siderable about fighting since then.
The blp fellow never know whnt training
WAS until Muldoon took hold of him , and
now , slnco it hits been learned what mag
nificent shupo ho 1ms gotten iu , the betting
is largely in his luvnr ull over the countiy.
But while Sullivan Is in such modal fettle ,
Kilruln too is in the pink of condition , There
is not nn ounce of surpcriluous flesh on his
person' , and his muscles ure ns flexible as
Btecl. Ho Is said to bo perfectly confident
that ho will win , but who over hoard oi a
prize tighter In training who couldn't cat the
other follow up , gloves , tishts , Hug , ropes
ami all.
London prize ring rules will govern the
light , us tlioy do ull heavy weight champion-
thip battles , und us these rules uro not Ken-
orally known to the public , a brlof resume of
thutn in herewith glvuu. The men must
light on the turf , and though tbo place where
they fight is culled u ring , the rules require
that It shall bo twenty-four feet squarennd
outlined with eight slakes , around which is
passed a rope , and that in the center of the
ring Is drawn a mark , which is called a
scratch ; and that ouch man shall have two
seconds and a bottlu holder. It Is these seconds
ends who tots up for position and the
men tulio tholr places In the diagonally op
posite corners. There ure two umpires and
n referee , who , by the way , like all umpires
nnd refurccs , Invariably succeed in getting
thrmsclvcs licui tily disliked by both parties
before the affair is over. These rules also
provide thut lighting boots sbnll have three
spikes only In them , two on tbo solo und one
iu the heel , und if the iiuulllst Is caught try
ing to arm his feet with any moro offensive
weapons bo shall promptly forfeit the stakes.

everybody cxcect the principals shall retire

allowed back there again until the end of the
first round. When this first round is over
the seconds rush in , sponge off their innn and
afford thorn whatever uidcomfort and asbist-
nnce Is required , for they get only thirty
seconds to do it in , at the end of which time
the referee calls out "time , " and each prin
cipal bus to wallc from his own corner un

Wrestling is allowed and a man muv drop
to avoid punishment , u ' 'fall" constituting u
round. -
No butting of heads , kicking , gouging or-
scratching Is allowed , nnd u man may not
hit his adversary below the waist or when
he is down. In case of interference from
the police or any accidnnt , the fight niust bo
fought out during the week , or clso the
whole thing is drawn an'd all bets uro off. A
man is expected to depend entirely upon
himsolf. Ho is watched very closely to see
that ho doesn't carry any hnra substance in
his hand or that ho does not use the ropes or
the stakes to injure his adversary with after
he hns driven him into his corner. The
greatest difficulty to be guarded ueninst in
ull those prize-fights is the ugly temper of
the toughs who make up the uudicnco , and
trouble is seriously apprehended ut the com
ing mill , although both Kilrain und Sullivnn
uro of the opinion that everything will go off
smoothly and satisfactorily.

The various races for base ball pennants
are growing warmer and closer nnd moro ex
citing ns the season advances. Within the
past week there has been greater changes
than has bpon noted yet , end none moro
marked or enjoynblo than that in tbo West
ern association. Omaha has made a gallant
spurt , and with hands down has pulled up
along side ana nhead of St. Paul in u

Into the last quarter and down
the stretch between these two thor
oughbreds will bo one calculated to enthuse
an nnchorito. It Is an open question who
will como in under the wire first ,
but from u local standpoint it looks decidedly
ns though Seleo's men would eventually got
there : Not once yet during the entire sea
son has Omaha been urged by whip nr spur.
Jockey Seleo' has boon riding an easy ruco.
and once | n a while an unexpected "break" " '
bus bean inudo , und Omalm has lost several
short dashes she ought to have won easily.
Hut now that she has pulled up to tha front ,
a rattling pace will bo sot , and n breakneck
gait maintained to the winning post. That
Omaha is the strongest team in the Western
association , tliero is out llttlo doubt , and
uhut uncertainty remains us to this fact
should huvo been dissipated by the easy
manner in which she polished off the St.
Pauls last week. .The victories achieved
over Mllwnuiico were foregone conclusions ,
und do not Justify any glorification. They
are a gang of dubs from old man Suttou
down , und put up Just such u game as you
would expect to witness on the commons any

change in the positions of the other teams in
this association. They remain relatively the

third place , with .Minneapolis and Denver
locked in u Gnuco-Konmn wrestling match
for fourth. DCS Moiues , St. Joseph arid

Three defeats in Indianapolis was an unex

In the fair grounds' race course Omaha
hns ono of the llnest half-milo traces in the
country. At any rate , there is no such tr.ick
wes > t of Chicago. The curves are just right
and the grade nuniirablc , while tiio soil is of
that absorbent , elastic character iu such
high favor with old turfmen and trainers ,
and calculated to induce the very highest
rata of speed of which an animal is capable.
All racing men who "visit Omalm nnd view
the fair grounds track , tinder favorable
weather , never full to comment uuon
its superior merits over the generality
of western race courses. They claim that it
us fast a track us there is in the United
States , not even excepting the tracks nt
Cleveland nnd Providence , Of course , this
Is by way ot comparison , ns the two tracks
mentioned are mile tracks. The fair grounds
are easily accessible , and supplied with u
l&rco and brce/v grand stund , plenty of good
stabling , and all the other accessories of u
first-class race-course.
With all thcso superior facilities , then ,
, why wouldn't it bo u nlco thing for the citi
zens of Omuhu who love line horses und good
racing to organize a L'onUomun.s club , such
as the clubs now in existence at Chlcrfgo.Do-
trolt , Cleveland , Toledo , Cincinnati , Wash
ington. U , C. , and other metropolitan cities.
if it is Impossible to arouse spirit und enter
prise sufllcient to Induce the organisation of
a regular jockey club.let Omaha huvo u uen-
tlcman'sclub atlc.istund hold meetings once
or twice a month for roadster taccs with the
owners to drive. It would furnish splendid
summer recreation for thousands of tliosu
who are interested in good horse flesh in this
city.
In tlicso races there is no money to bo
hung up in the shape of iiri/os , but
of course , owners nnd backers can
use their own pleasure about wagering
on the side , but lot the troiihlns of vic
tory bo anything appropriate to bo ugroed
upon by the owners of the horses participat
ing in euch event. In time , such un orgunl-
7ution would load to something on u larger
scale. Interest oiicu awakened and there's
little doubt but that in time a bonu-lldo
jockey club would bo the outgrowth. If Kan-
ens City can conduct a successful running
nnd trotting meet , Omaha can surely do the
same. There Is any number of gentlemen
hero Interested in such sport , and good horse
flesh without stint.

At last the Omaha correspondent to the
Bicycling World , "Jim , " has been heard
from. In last week's issue appears in refer
ence to our recent IOJ mile ride : "A curios
ity in a century run of 118 miles was called
for a short time ago , and at 4i 15 a. m. , the
morning of the run , eighteen members of the
Ouiahu Wheel club started at a brink nnco
towards lied Oakla. . Why the captain
should have called a run to tills town is a
mystery , onlv known to himself , as the
roads between Qlemvood and that town nro
some of the worst and Wiliest within 200
miles of Omaha. Before Glenwood was
reached three mem wore disabled by hard
falls , one of thuiuJiurt qulto seriously , strik
ing on his head ( n good thing for him that
ho didn't atrikoi on any other part of his
body or ho mlghbhuvo been killed outright ) ,
Hed Oak was reached in duo time by ton of
the boys , the rest ! having taken tbo train
homo from various railroad stations along
the road. Onb'i'our ( wo understand that
they now call themselves the "Ulg Four" )
finished the runibetwoen 10:80 : and 12:30 : p.
in. , during a heavy shower. Two of those
gentlemen having ) walked eighteen miles in
the mud. "
Any of the riders who woru on this run ,
reading the above , pan see that the article is
full of umllco andt mlsstntcinonts. If "Jim"
in the individual tUUt did not BO more than
eleven miles 61 iHa distance , ho knows that
the road onleers made inquiries uuoub tno
road , and from ro | > orts thought it the best
for such an undertaking in this part of the
country , and this should soon clear up the
mystery in his benighted mind. Ho attempts
a shallow joke on what was a serious affair ,
and knows that the rider who took the fall is
a bettor rider than tie over dared to be.
About the "I3lg 4" title , ho knows that
neither ho nor any ono else over heard that
expression used by any of those that finished
ride. They did not llnlsh during u heavy
shower , because it ruined only for a shore
time , and not enough to prevent ridiiiL' fully
twenty miles from Council Bluffs. Neither
did "two of these gentlemen walk eigh
teen miles in the mud , Even if they had ,
how did the others Bulshl Was it in a bottom
tom ! If the above is a sample of what Is to
follow in the interest nf 'cycling In Omaha ,
it would bo bettor to have Omaha not re
ported at all than have such articles written ,
which can not full to bo detrimental to the
sport. As to the Johnstown benefit at the
Coliseum , ho seems to forgot that the Omaha
Wheel club , as well as otllor unattached
r Iders of the city , did their little mite in the
mailer.

as the L. W. C. members are known to bo
jolly good fellows , as all cm testify who have
met Pollock. Van Horn , Pullman and

with the Lincoln Wheel clubi" will bo heard
for miles around.

Some persons seemed alarmed lost the re
tirement of Jack CrookS from the captaincy
of the Omaha team will lead to dissensions

Crooks has too much sense to undertake to

certainly get theworst of it. Ho Is a fine
player and n pleasant gentleman , but must
icmombcr that ho is only n ninth part of
the Omaha tcnm. Every ono of the other
players Is entitled to Just as much considera
tion as lie , and if ho is disgruntled over any
any imaginary ill-trcatmont the sooner ho
pets buck to his normal self the bolter it will
bo for everybody concerned. Brace up , Jack ,
and let the fans drink in your sweet warble

A goodly number of thn patrons of the

Ho is n hard worker and throws lots of life
into the game. He generally exercises the
host of judgment and was never overbearing
or dommeoiing with the players. All ho
nskcd was that they play ball all the limp.
Andrews has been appointed in Crook's
stead , and may prove n success. Wally Is a
quiet , unobtrusive player , and Is putting up
