There certalnlv ean be nothing prettierthau
to MM : u half back make n good dodgy run and
then dropii goal to eoncluilo II , but too oftrti
this latter Is lost sight of in the anxiety of
the player to ground the ball behind the op
ponent's goal line. The "full back' ' should
lie a man to combine all the qualifies of the
above , as he is the last hope of a side when
the opposing forces huvo passed the others ,
nnd it is one of the most important positions
to till.
There Is one feature of the game which the
collegiate rushers have not as yet given
enough attention to , ami that is the
art of "dribbling" the ball. This
consists In the art of keeping the ball nt your
feet whils n lug at stop speed and nursing
il much In the same manner as u billiard
plaver does with ncue , so that when an op-
jioiient tries to kick it or pick it up ho dodges
it around him with his foot mid continues his
journey towards the goal till he finds a favor-
opportunity of picking it up and riinnjng
with it Often a team of good dribbling
rushers ( or forwards as they are called ) in
England have won a game over a faster team
of runnel's , as it is very diflicult for a half
back to stop a good dribble and can only bo
done by charging a man with the shoulder , us
tackling a man with hands is not allowable
under the circumstances.
The object of all players should be to work
the hall hits the opponent's territory and if
possible touch the ball down behind the goal
line , which allows a free kick at goal.
I'otir Little lloyn from School.
Huninito , Taj lor , Cooley and Ilayncs , four
bo.\s of the Omaha high school , wore down to
the Platte river last week in pursuit of the
ducks and geese that were reported by Billy
Townscml to bo there. This selfsame crowd ,
with the addition of one or two absent mem
ber ! ' . Is the celebrated Kyo Straw club , and
have been out camping and hunting every
spring vacation since they entered the high
school , the most memorable being probably
the famous Elkhorn excursion , during which
four of the hoys lost the wagon , did without
grub for nearly two days and had to walk
clear across noughts county to get home.
Heretofore they have been in the habit of
bringing In a few measly-looking ducks ,
and telling their friends how many they
cooked and ate In camp , consequently when
the news spread that they were going out
again this spring there were a great many
prophesies about the- amount of ducks that
were to bo .slaughtered , but , happy to say ,
co.il-i of lire weii' heaped upon these false
prophets , us they afterward ute ducks of the
bovs'shooting. .
The shooting was only fair , but by hard
work the bovs were able to bring back about
titty ducks , and told bigger stories than over
abo'ut the number they ate in camp. It is , at
latest reports , wavering somewhere between
lSiO and ' , ' , uO.

liriswold : Having a little leisure time , I
thought I would drop you a few lines. I have
been in the blawstcd country since January
11 on a pleasure trip , and to say I am having
a pleasant trip is not half expressing it. I
spent three weeks on the Emerald Isle. 1
visited Blarney Castle , Lakes of Killarncy ,
and other places of interest. 1 have spout
about six weeks here in .England and Scot
land.
I met Bill Bryan , ex-manager of the Dos
Moines club , at Shefllold. Ho says hois work
ing for Newton ( "nine , who represents Spanld-
inghere. They nreworking hard tocstablish
the national giiine iu this country , but it will
taken long time to get it on a solid footing ,
as the people here urn Just wild over cricket
and foothill ! . All the lending football clubs
will take up baseball this summer on u small
scale for pastime during the warm months ,
and if the people take kindly to the game ,
they may form a league here. They are all I
eager to know the points of the game , and if
Spaulding would send about twelve men over
here that is , six played out pitchers and
catchers and send a battery to six of the
largest cities' , they could instruct the men In
the game mid iu a short time could form a
very good league without any long jumps. I
"am sure it would bo a paying investment.
1 spent a week In London and I had a letter
of introduction to Hon. Kobert Lincoln who
furnished me xyith a cant of admission to the
hi iiso of parliament , where I hud the ex
treme nleasiiro of hearing the ( iiiind Old
Man speak. I will K < > to London on the -lith
to see the Oxford and Cambridge boat race ,
mid I guess I will put expenses on Oxford to
win. 1 will see the ( Ji-.ind National to be run
at Liverpool on the -J'.lth. This is Iho great
est nice on this side. The distance is about
four and u half miles , with a number of
jumps , and there is a good Held of horses to
nm. 1 will sail for homo on the City of
Purls Apiil Ji. 1 have received a number of
letters , but if I can make terms with tlio
Western association 1 will bo pleased to bo
with \ou another season. I received a letter
from the west sa > lug they had Increased the
salaries of umpires , so I wrote , saying if such
was ihe ca e to consider me an applicant. It
l. a little lute , but it gin's just the same.
Thanks for Till : BII : : joii sent me. I was
glad to see ICau as Cit.y take St. Joe's place.
There should In ? some rivalry between Omaha
nnd Kansas City. The Cowlxiys probably

C A good , hard hitter is far more valuable tea
a team than a brilliant oiitllelder. A manager
cannot afford to carry "dummies" in Iho iu-
lleld , for Ihe players inside Iho lines must bo
up to the .standard. It Is not so much differ
ence in the ontlli'hl. No oiitllelder is called
upon to catch a liy in the ontllold moro than
once a week that an ordinary good man can
not got. Suppose mi out Holder does drop one
ball in a game , it Is only one chance to lose
the game , while ho has four and sometimes
live cham-es at the bat to hit the hall , and
possibly win the game. A Imrd-hlttlng team
is always preferable to a brilliant Holding
organization.
Everybody scorns Interested In the Oinnhu

presumed ho will pursue the plan ho 1ms

Frank Pnrmoleo mid O. W. Loomia spent a
day the past week down near ( irotnn , suipo
shooting. They found the birds there iu
great numbers and scored a big kill. The
birds were nut found in the sloughs , their
customary haunts , but out in Iho big mown
meadows , whore tlicro are frequent puddles
of water , mid the whole surface is soft and
mellow , just right for boring.
When a man misses a bird at the trap how
rai'oly does that gunner attribute the blamu
to the poor aim where It belongs , and at once
commences experimenting with different
powders and various sl/cs nt'shot , or by send
ing the gun to thu shop unit having it reboivd
to shoot closer. Better .practice < il ; aim
true , as almost any gnu will kill a IJird or
smash a target when ulmcd In the right di
rection.
Very much powder is being wasted by par
ties opposed to spring shouting. To hiivo
such a law In olio state and nut in another
will not protect the wufuiTowl. Nothing ex
cept a national law can stop the shooting dur
ing the northern migratory Illglit , and to that
must be added sumo protection to the fowl
during nesting time , as now millions of nests
are robbeii of their eggs unit sold for gain.

Nr.w Vomc , Apill" 10. jCorie.spondcnce of
Tin : Dm : . ] Notwithstanding the fact that
tlio Olympic athletic club has given Jim Cor-
belt , its boxing teacher , permission to engage
in such u contest , I doubt if the proposed
four-round go between him and John L. Sul
livan will take place. Corbett tells me ho is
willing to meet the big fellow provided the
affair can be brought off in two weeks , as ho
must be back in San Francisco by April US.
This can hardly bo done under present cir
cumstances. Despite all the talk about the
new Puritan club , which is to have contests
in Long Island City , there seems to be a hitch
in its progress , nnd if it has a hall largo
enough to accommodate ) the throng which
would want to witness such a light , ami
readily accessible to the public of New York ,
its managers have succeeded in keeping
knowledge of it to themselves. Then again ,
Sullivan is hardly in condition to engage in
an encounter of the kind proposed , and ho
needs more tlnui two weeks preparation to
get him lit. He has passed the time when ho
can engage in four-round bouts with merely
a shave and u shampoo lor preparation. I
saw Corbett spar this week with Mike Donovan
van iu Brooklyn , and ho convinced mo
that lie is capable of giving any
man on the footstool a good argument with
his lists. lie has the advantage of height
and reach over Sullivan and to best him in
four rounds John L. will have to go at him
like a whirlwind. Corbett is as quick as neaten
on his feet and as clover with his hands as
any big man 1 have over seen. He has not
the punishing iiowcr of Sullivan , but at this
stugoof the game the champion ot champions
cannot afford to let any man make a stand-olT
with him ; mid unless 1 would greatly miss
my guess that's Just what Corbett would do
iu'a four round contest with the big fellow's
wind a lltllo out of kilter. Jim has not Sulli
van's hitting power , bnthe has skill and activity -
i tivity and science and what n triumph it
I I would be for him if ho out-pointed Boston's
pridcf 1 hardly think that Sully and Jim will
como together In the next fortnight.
Corbett , by the way , is the h.mdsomcst and
drcbsic.t llr.'htcr since John C. Hcenan. Ho
is just Hccnau's height to a hair , but lie is
much broader across the loins , which were
the Benccia boy's chief defect. Corbet t is
very pleasant ami affable in manner , and ho
naturally makes friends wherever ho goes.
Commenting on his general appearance the
other day Old Dooney Harris said to mo :
"Who would take him for a lighter , .seeing
him all dressed up like thuU Why , if ho waste
to rome up to a gale 1 was keeping , and waste
to give me any jaw , I'd tackle him myself if
I didn't know whu ho wa * , as old as I am.
He's a good one though ami 1 think bo's a
coining champion. " '
Larry Killian. Jimmie C'ohllle and Frank
Maguire , the ocim-cating co.it'niont who
went to San FrancUca to see ' . : . : v Carroll-
McAulllYe light , were in the city last week
on their way home. They doolaro that Me-
Aulifi'o was never Iu doubt of victory , but ac
knowledged tlr.it lo : was weaker than they
liked to boo him , owing to the effects of llio
malaiial poison which attacked him during
his training. They were enthusiastic in their
praise of the hospitality of the El Doiadoans ,
and say they are the liiie.st and squarest
sportingineii they know. Tlio only thing
they object to in tlio the conic.U : of the Cali
fornia Athletic club is the sixe of the ij'oves ' ,
and they agree with mo that .hoy are very
dangerous to the hands of ihe man who ; - . a
quick , active punisher. Colvillo lolls ni' >
that the club Is thinking seriouslj of barring
the whirl or pivot blow that brought suUi
grief to Jack Demp ey. Nine times out of
ten the man struck In this manner Is hit not
by the glove of his opponent but by his wri.st
or elbow. The blow is clearly against the
rules of the Marmiis of Qucensberry. mid the
Cnlifornlans will nmko no nils'.ilo : if i'.ioy
prohibit it.
Both Kilruin ami Colvllle agree that there
is no truth in the report that Jack Dcmpsov Is
going to England to light Toff Wall , the
Noupnrlcl naturally got a little homesick when
ho met his eastern friends , but ho has no
thought of tempting fnto by irosslng the At
lantic. Ho has been trying hard to liiducclho
Marino to light him again , but La Blanche
will only battle on his own terms , mid to these
Dempsey cannot accede. The Boston men are
llrm friends of Dempsey , but they say that
they do not blame the Marino lor declining to
meet Jack again. His saloon Is doing a very
iirolltahlo businessand this would bo Knocked
In the head If ho was delented. They think
that young Mitchell , with wh.om ho Is now
matchedwill five him a hard light when they
meet.
The trio met Billy MI Carthy , the Austra
lian , but say they were not very much Im
pressed with his st.vie , though they admit
that ho is u hard nut for nny lighter to crack.
They think that Kiddy Gallagher will make
plenty of friends in ban Frui.'Ua > , ami say
that If he Is as good us his friends claim him
to bo he ought to defeat the Australian. Thn
contest between these men is looked forwnril
to with great interest by the sporting men of
the Pacillc coast.
I am told by several who saw the bout that
Peter Jackson hint a pretty gi oil Jag on when
he faced Gns l/iiiihcrt in Tiny , and that the
wrestler labored like u Titan to do the black
Hercules up. Peter has not the physique to
enable him to smcessfully cope With either
John liarle.M-orn or hiseiinally powerfulsister :
the Widow CIiiiiol | , nnil he would do well to
reali/e the laet as soon as possible. By Iho
way. the Cnlifiirnlii'is do not appear to jump
with the avidity of a hungry trout at a tempt
ing liy at the proposition to hang np&0.lHiO. !
They may do it eventually , but they ci-rtaiiny
never will if Sullivan and Corbel ! should
meet and Sully should fail to do his man.

This Ed Smith of Denver must bo n hum
mer. He bi'itod La Blanche , the Marino , ill
a JilTy. and helms Just put Mike Clear.x to
.sloop in. one round. 1 am well aware that
Mike is not the Cleary of old , nevertheless ho
is not a mark for the commonality of pugilists ,
mid the the man who can thus do him iu u
contest must K1 n rattler indeed. This last
performance Is sum to bring Smith into ac
tive demand , nnd I would not be surprised if
a match was to be made between him mid Jco
Cho.Miiski of San Francisco , who has lately
hammered Billy Wilson , tlio colored champion
of the northwest , into insensibility in two
rounds.
The two McAulilTe's , the horouliim Joe nnd
the victorious Jack , are coming east by easy
stages , and will bo hero by the end of the
month , .loo is under the management of
Billy Madden , and that astute- Adonis of the
ring will look after his interests.yerv care
fully. If the charter of that Vlrgini.i Ath
letic club holds good there is little doubt that
a number of first-class boxing matches will
bo pulled off on its grounds before the next
meeting of the legislature. Whntii good man
McAulillo would hn to test Frank Sla\.n
with when he comes here. If he was to de-
foot Slavin , there would be nodillleulty what
ever in arranging another match between .loo
and his only conqueror. He has done very
wisely in putting himself in Miuldcn's hands ,
and he may depend on it that Handsome \ \ il-
'
Ham will' play for every dollar in sight and
will divide squarely with him.
Cal McCarthy declares that he is perfectly
willing to light Georgie Dixim ag.iln as .soon
as his hand is in lit condition , though that
Will not bo until next fall. Ho said to me i ho
other day : "I made n great mistake in light
ing Dixim. I had so much the best ol hitn
during the eaily part of the battle * lat [
thought I would rest my right hand u
bit ami , then llnish him. My 1-and
pained ino "ivntl.v. and 1 thong.t ) if
I did not hit him with It for a l.a.r
do/cu rounds the pain would cease uml then t
could bang him with it and settle him. 'JVmy
surprise , however , the pain did not cease but
increased , and Dlxon grew strong num.
Next time I meet him 1 will bo all riu-h' . ai.d
then you will sco whelher 1 can IMi linn or
not. " Cal has saved a little money , and thinks
seriously of investing it in a bookmaker linn
this summer , if he docs ho mid J.uMe -
Anlllfe will beiu the same business. In Lnj- ;
lund bookmakers hire pugilists to gmm ) thim
from robbery mid the attacks of crooks In
this country pugilists who are provident be
come bookmakers themselves. As us-ml the
American plan is the best ono. Hurrah for
our side !
