Every day , in fact repeatedly every day ,
TUB llr.n's baseball scribe la asked what ho

is Invariably ttiat It is an unusual Htrong ouo
nnd iium necessarily make a good showing ,
Can any ono doubt tins after scanning tbo
nbovo list of names ! It Indeed embraces an
exceptionally line array of talent , promising
incn every onu of them , even unto the tiov *
oral untried quantities It contains. No
claim U made that they will win the
pennant. Such effusive declarations cma-
nato only from those who do not known n
ball player from a circus acrobat , nnd when
they say It do not know what they nro talk
ing about. Omaha will encounter several
ball teams the coming season well worthy
the prowess , and a good place in the race ,
oven up as high in second or
third should bo a , source of satis
faction to nil these who weigh the
chances against higher honors. Kansas City
will bo most formidable in playing strength ,
While MinnoaDolls , Sioux City and Milwau
kee nro nil very strong and will put up such a
Kama as no club In the country , especially In
the minor bodies , Is warranted In ululuilnp
the ability to worst them tlireo games out of

bo n moro dllUeult ono the coming teason

tion team that accomplishes thU laudable

The AVilil Fowl Outlook.
There were n good many big bags of geese
nnd duetts made during the first four days of
the past woeic , but the sudden cold spell
has again driven the birds gulf ward. The
market is tolerably well filled with Canadas
nnd brunt , with a goodly supply of mallard ,
pin-tail and redhead , with an occasional
bunch of canvas backs. Geese are bringing
$1 a pair , mallard , 00 ce'its ; pin-tall , 75 cents ;
redhead , 80 cents ; canvasback , S3 , and teal ,
50 cents.
The early wild fowl shooting In this Im
mediate vicinity promises to DO bettor than
It has been for several years. There was
but llttlo shooting last spring , or fall either ,
and the birds have had u flno opportunity to
recuperate and bring up large families. The
sportsmen are nil in n fever ot expectation ,
and as soon ns the winter breaks up In earn
est the marshes will bo full of shooters. A
warm spoil with n few gentlo'falna will
bring In the teal and the \Vilson snipa by the

Tlio Story of lomi nly'fl Defeat.
Howard Rutherford , a 'Frisco newspaper
man and a member of the California athlotio
club , spent an hour at Tun BUR ofllco last
evening. Ho talked entertainingly of the
recant affairs before the California clubs ,
particularly on Dompsey's defeat at the
hands of Georeo La Blanche.
"Tho Marino , " ho said , "never was Jn
such condition , whllo Jack was all awry.
In the Ural six rounds La Blanche rushed
and Dempsey showed his skill as a ducker
ana jumper , but ho never lost an opportunity
to Jab his burly antagonist In the face. * La
Blanche was ucly nnd showed n tonaonoy
to light foul , and ho should have been called
down In the seventh round. " Up to the
eleventh round It was rush und sing by the
Marino nnd dodco nnd stab by Jack. After
this La Blanche adopted the long range tac
tics. Ho made no headway , whllo Dempsey
began to swing hia right nnd was rapidly
nailing the light. In the twenty-sixth round
ha thought bo saw a chance to knock the
Marino out. Ho pushed him Into his corner ,
but to the surprise of everyone , barely saved
himself from being knocked out. as La
.Blanche Inllictod BOIIIO awful punishment.
In the thirty-second ho wont after him
again. Ho llddlrd the Marino to the ropes ,
then , after a feint , lot p.o his loft , following
with bis right on La Blanche's Jaw , but the
next instant the doughty Jack lay on the
floor an Inert mass. The knotty right list of
the Marino had collided with Dorapsoy's
nose with tremendous force , and tbo Nonpa
reil was a vanquished man for the first time
in his life. "

the single high flvo cede , whicn reads :
10. In uaso of n tie , high irocs out first , low
next , jack next , then game , ana lastly the
first flva spot. But should jack bo made first
before cither hicrh or low , then the game is
terminated , and high and , low do not count.
The jack never takes precedence before
the high or low In high Hvo , no matter nt
what stage of the game it may bo ' 'saved. "
