Billy Townsend , Goodley Brucker and oth

enter the sweepstakes shoots , and alto
gether the day will doubtless bo an onjoya
bio one.
The Autumn Racei.
The races at the fair this fall will surely
surpass those of any previous season. The
entry list Is much larger than over before ,
and the managers say that an unprecedented
success is assured. The colt races will be es
pecially Interesting , ns they will embrace
about all of Nebraska's young thoroughbreds ,
and among them will bo found some comers.
Of the foal of 1885 there are already twenty
entries ; of 1887 thirteen , and of 18S3 twelve.
Besides thcso events , there will bo a full
and attractive card each day running , trot
ting and pacing , and no effort or expense
will be spared to make the meet ouo worthy
the name. The fair opens up September i ) .
Tho-Uoad Arm Ilrlicado.
Good , sound arms are the ball playor't
stock in trade , but there Is any number of
them who do not seem to bo awara of th is
fact. Especially is this true of young players ,
who seem to think that they have n guaranty
of a soft position until disqualified by old
ago. But this is an erroneous Idea. Many
young players who gave promise ot becom
ing famous a year or two Alnco , have dropped
out of sight altogether , and many nre on the
verge of oblivion to-day. Look at "home
run" Duffeefoe instance , who had all St.
Louis crazy during the first of the season ,
and who is now seldom mentioned In the
Mound City papers ana will bo soon totally
lost in the Bhufllo. Wagcnhurst und Foster ,
too , of the Minneapolis team , nro examples ,
and if one or two players in the Omaha tcum
are not careful they too will bo ranked with
the back numbers. Many young players
wantonly distrov the power nature nas endowed
dewed them with. Often you sec them , out
and iutioldors , practicing pitching , not with
the idea of making twirlers of themselves ,
but just to see bow swift they can pitch.
They endeavor to execute all the drops ,
and shoots and curves of their skilloa
confreres of the box , and this is
the cause of many n sore and strained arm.
Umpire Brlody used to bo one of the steel-
armed cohort , and ho was nlwnys pitching
in preliminary practice , although a catcher ,
and to-day ho can't throw a ball from the box
to second base oven on an arched throw. Ho
would give a good deal to-day for some of
the strength lio-loolishly throw away , A
good arm to a ball-player is what n sound
hand Is to a pugilist , or sound limbs are to a
raeo horse.

sides n heavy batter and magnificent fielder ,
ono of the trickiest players in the 'country.
In an exhibition pa.mo some fourteen months
ago ho caught "Arlto" Latham , of the St.
Louistoam , nnppinprby n flno triek. Latham
had made a base bit , and the. ball had been
returned to Crooks , when the latter called
for the twirler to pitch tlio ball to the bats
man. Latham immediately stepped oil the
bas2 , and n moment later was caught by a
flno throw of Crooks , who had smuggled the
ball up his sleeve. Exchange.
The first base ball play of Andrews dur
ing the Sioux City series was an exhibition
of line work , such aa is seldom seen nt the
hands of any ball pluycr. The number of
low lightning throws ho scooocd up from the
dust at his feet , wore sufficient to have
broKcn up the best guardian of the bag the
profession over know , but Wally never said
a word , but continued right on sawing wood ,
and went through the series without a
ghost of an error. Bo batted , too , like a Tro
jan , ran bases well and made his full share
of the runs. Andrews , in fact , is playing as
good a flrst as any man in the country.
There is not n particle of doubt about it ,
but the Omahas arc ono of the greatest base
running teams in the country , nnd this is nil
tlio more remarkable when it is taken into
consideration that there isn't n single star
in this particular line of play in the whole
team. From this season's record , however ,
every one of them are entitled to this com
plimentary title , as they are all running
bases m tlio most daring and successful
manner. Omaha so far has stolen half as
many bases again as any team in the west
ern association nnd moro than any team In
the country. In the three recent Sioux City
series tholr total record was 35. It matters
not who tbo opposing battery Is , It Is all the
same to them , and an impartial nnalyzatlon
of their work will provo that they are the
banner base stealing team of the country ,
If the law makers nnd rule tlnkorcrs want
to do the base ball public a nice turn let them
devise some way or moans of accelerating the
gumo. Such an innovation right hero in
Omaha would bo a God send , as in no city in
the country does the game drag like it does
nt the local park. Some times , by actual
time , It requires the sides five minutes to
cbungo , und the people grow weary and dis
gusted with the needless waits. The players
take their time coming in and going out , and
often fool away as much time in overhauling
the bats as it ought to require for them to
11111 their full term. This is a duty of the
umpire. Ho should permit of no such un
necessary delay , and there is one In this as
sociation that does not permit It , and that is
Sandy McDermott , the only emcicnt ono on
the nholo staff. Briody might make an um
pire if it wasn't for his timidity and his fears
of the condemnation of the players , n hard
fuult , however , to overcome. Again , ho Is a
dead home umpire , and unless ho changes
his tactics , will have but a short-lived experience
rience- the position. Another bad feature
about the games nt the local park , is the long
and senseless waits for a now ball when ono
is fouled or knocked over the fence. A new
ball , under the circumstances , must bo forth
coming , and It is a gross ncglcut to keen the
people waiting for the resumption of the
gamo. Several of the game * hero last week
were over two hours in duration , aad two of
them two hours and a half.

After all the claims of tho'followers of
Lnttlo Stanley in the recent six-day bloyclo
chase at the Coliseum , that Tom Eck pur
posely and deliberately pushed the wheel in
front of her when she fell , the woman her
self loft Omaha last week with Eck's com
bination and Is now riding in Minneapolis
under his management.
The greatest boom that bicyolo riding by
women has ever received was probably
through a three-column illustrated article
from the pen of Miss Nelllo Iflv in last Sun
day's Now York World. Miss Bly Is ono'ot
Gotham's most brilliant newspaper writers ,
and her effort in favor of ladies practicing
riding the wheel was a flattering testimonial
to Its pleasures and benefits.
The American cyclists now In Paris called
on Buffalo .Bill , by invitation , on Thursday
afternoon last. Tlio.v were very cordially
welcomed by Colonel Cody nnd his managers ,
Nate Salisbury and Mr. Burke , the latter
taking them around the camp and locating

nessed the show. The band signaled tholr
entry by playing "Yankee Doodle. " Tlio
boys greeted their host with three rousing
American cheers and other national ex
pressions.
Ouo of the funniest things in connection
with the turf is the number of old plugs
that nro forever starling and never win.
Tholr names grace the board day after duy ,
at every course in the country , nnd the odds
laid against them are of such tempting
dimensions that many n gilloy and a sucker
puts up his stuff on them botoro the season
is over. Many of these old plugs begin the
season at its very opening , and never go to
the stable until the lost gambler and book
maker is safely domiciled for the winter.
They never can win when there is anything
else In the shape of a horse In the race , and
they are only kept m the business In the in
terest of pool rooms and bookmakers , as
every dollar bet on them is Just so much
clear gain ,

Mnnawn's Bounttn and
htlBcellunoous Sports.
To-Morrow's Great Buttle.
To-morrow morning the great John L. and
Jake Kilraln are billed to moot In tholr long-
tulkert-of finish llt-lit , but it is about even
money tha the battle does not como of ! per
advertisement. There scorns to bo a dispos
ition on the part of tlioKilruln myrltndons to
interfere with , if not prevent ) the fight. How
ever , those reports muy bo exaggerated , und
the mill may como oft all right. There bus
been an Immense chnngo in popular senti
ment since the two pugilists have gone south ,
and the almost universal opinion is that Sul-
llvun will win in u cantor. The batting
everywhere Is two to one on the big follow ,
and with but few takers at those
odds. In this city tbcro has
been but HUlo betting , nnd what money has
been put uu Is lulu against greater odds tluin
nbovo mentioned , The battle Is exciting the
liveliest sort of Interest , and is the one theme
of conversation everywhere. In the hotels ,
ealoonb and even mercantile houses , on the
streets , In the horse and cable cars , In fact
everywhere , It Is all "Sulllvun" and "Id 1-
raln , " from the banker to the newsboy. So
it must bo acknowledged , as much as all
good people duprccnto prize-lighting , that
pugilism Interests mankind the world over In
guile of themselves.
Amen < ra host of opinions on the subject
gleaned by Tint UEE aru the following : :
Jack Morrison Sullivan will surely win.
The I * . U , has never known the man who
could withstand the big fellow's ' hurricane
onslaught. Mitchell's sprint race with John
la no criterion to go by. Look out for Jake's
going out in about llftcon minutes.
Frank I'armoleo John L. will inako Kll-
rain think that lib can't light a little bit.
From the looks of things he's knocked out
already.
1'utsoy Fallen Ktlraln may make some
"sort of a show , but It will bo of short dura
tion. If Sullivan can only land will that
ewful doxtorduko of Ills , the sponge will be
ecu ascending In Juke's corner.
IMIly Magner I have cocu all the fights
nnd nghtcrs in this country for the past
twenty-live years , but have yet to run across
the man who cun bo compared
to the mighty Sullivan. I saw him
knock Paddy Ilyan out nt Mississippi oily ,
nnd referred his seven-round co with Do mi-
nick McCaffrey at Chester Park , Cincinnati ,
four years ago , and I think I ought to know
something about this man's capacity as a
pugilistic exterminator. Ho"ll knock faking
Jake's head off. Vou can put your stuff up
on that.
Frank Hnnlon Of course Sulllvun will
Win nobody doubts that.
Major Uaicombo Sullivan's habits will
whlphlm if Kilruin will only help them a lit
tle , John U lias boon dissipating too much.
Jailer Joe Miller Sullivuu will win if ho
is in shape.
Captain Coraack Everything is In Sulli
van's favor. He's the bust mau by long odds.
Holier Inspector Stundoven If Sullivan
whips ICIIratn U will bo in u very few ronnds.
Bullivan's constitution has boon tou badly
shattered by dissipation. Ho can't stand a
long light.
Assistant County Attorney Shea If John
L. Is hi really as good shape as his friends
ay ho is , Kilrain will stand no show with
him ,
Colonel Floyd If John L. doesn't win
bauds down It will surely bo because he's
not tue man ho used to I * . Of course , Kil
raln Is a top-notchcr , but Sullivan Is a !
wonder.
C. C. Hulott From nil accounts Sullivan
ought to "do" his man in flno shape.
Tom Uoyd I think Sullivan will win but
this slugging business is very uncertain.
Matt Claire I'm with the majority I
think Sullivan will prove decidedly the best
J.'j. Phllbln Kilrain will disappoint his
closest followers. Ho can't get uwuy from
John L. with all his vaunted celerity and
science , but must stand up unit tight , and
that means that he'll bo knocked out.
The I'cnnnnt Cliusers.
The base ball races still continue hot and
furious. The changes slnco TUB BBE'I last
review have been both slight and few , the
most important being that In our own , the
Western association.
Omaha has again entrenched herself in
flrst place , with the Apostles close nt her
heels , however. The two straight games
over Sioux City on the 4th gave the White
Sox the coveted vantage , St , I'aul cropping
ono game to Minneapolis on the same day.
It mustbo remembered , though , that the loss
of u single game Just now will cvon up mat
ters , and it behooves the local men to kcop
up the remarkable work which they have
been doing. They will soon bo on the ono-
mies' grounds , for tholr second swing around
the circle , while the Saints during this interval -
val will bo sliding on their own cellar door ,
so a changein the positions of the leaders
need surprise no ono at any time.
In the National league the positions of the
several contestants aio relatively the same.
with a gradual falling oft at the hands of the
Intelligent Bean Eaters. Next Tuesday ,
however , they will bo back under the shadow
of Hunker Hill , then stand from under. They
are certain to make up for all their recent
bad luck. Cleveland , with her lusty gang of
youngsters , is still the base ball marvel of
the ago. She occupies second place , und had
Uostou a few more games to play In the
west , she would have undoubtedly been com
pelled to surrender flrst place to the Forest
City. Now York is playing good und strong ,
and is in third place. Philadelphia is floun
dering , and will drop below Chicago in an
other ten days. Pittsburg , Indianapolis and
Washington are well in the dust of the
leaders.
In the American association the St. Louis
Hrnwns refuse to bo ousted from their
position in the van of the procession.
Brooklyn plays ulth varying success , and
cannot hope to pull up with Van der Aim on
this trip. The Athletics , too , are being uf- '
dieted with the most aggravating luck , anil
when most certain of a frame , are sure to
drop it. Haltlmoro and Cincinnati are tight-
ing tooth and too nail for fourth place , with
the chances In favor of Porkopolis. The
Cowboys are sixth , Columbus seventh , and
poor old Louisville at the tall end.
The I'olo
Manager Jack Prince , while at Sioux
City ou the 4th , made all the arrangements
for n polo teum there. It will bo organized
nnd managed by George C , Common , well
known in sporting circles , and bo reaay to
enter the arena by October 15. The Coli
seum management will proceed Immediately
with the laving of the lloor and other im
provements about the building in order U >
have it In readiness for the opening of the
polo season In November. It is now an as
sured fact that the teaguo will bo organized ,
as influential parties have taken hold of the
enterprise in St. Paul , Minneapolis. Sloiix
City , DCS Moliics , St. Joe , Kansas City and
Omaha , and are working with u vigor that
cannot fall of bringing the project to a suc
cessful Issue. Manager Soleo of the Omaha
ball club will probably glvq an exhibition
gacio of p.ilo In the Coliseum between two
ball teams before the close of the ball sea
son , in order that tha people can form some
idea of the exciting and Interesting nature
of the sport. There Is no doubt whatever
that It will catch on big.

The St. Louis Browns made only two hits
oft of big Jim Dutjyen , In n game the other
day. All the westertitussoclntion players
who went into the leifguo and association
this spring have done finely.
The Philadelphia league club offered $2SOO
for Crooks. It was refused.
Three straights' to Omaha , says the Pioneer
neer Press , was a slight overdose for St.
Paul , but they can console themselves with
the fuct that Is no disgrjico to bo beaten by
the Nebraska aggregation when they are
playing ball like thejV are Just now.
St. Joe and Onlahd will again meet at the
