O IT U practically
Battled that tlio next
itio card for this
k section of the glooo
Jwlll boa finish con
test between Young
Dobbs , Lincoln's
colored middle-
wclgDt , and Dot )
Harper of Chicago.
There is no manner
of doubt about the
pair being able to
_ J make a flghtorgtvo
nn exhibition rather , after the fashion that
most pleases the patrons of the ring. Dobbs'
light with Shorroy at Rowley's hall last win
ter was ono of thu grontost mills over fought
In the \vost. Uobbs won after forty-ono
rounds had been fought forty-one rounds of
Rood bard punching , In which the rosy
llowcd copiously and Knockdowns were
but common frills to the excitement. As for
Harper all thnt can be salu Is based upon his
cuuornl reputation , which is Jirst class , and
Prof. Hlghtower , who will mannpo tlu < con-
teat , says ho is a fine match for Dobbo.
Defeated pugilists are seldom In want of
excuses , nnd Dick Moore is no exception to
the rulo. Ho attributes his knock-out by
Nlland a week agn duo to a lack of training ,
and the very philosophical reason that on
that night the stockyards boy was the best
man. Ho says that tbo South Omaha repre
sentative is a hard hitter and torrillu pun-
Unor while bo is fresh. Dick was a veritable
tub of butter on the night of the
mooting , totally without tralnirg , nnd consequently
quently without sufllclont stamina to with
stand the pork packer's snvogo rushes. In
the sixth round , however , ho concentrated
his flogging energies , and had Niland "done"
had ho only known It. After that ho wont tote
to pieces nnd the muscled itid had llttlo diftl-
culty In bringing the contest to an end. Jn
anything lllto condition , in another collision ,
which Is not unlikely , Moore would bo a 1 ! to
1 fnvorito , still It la not improbable that
Niland Is his equal under any conditions.
It isn't just the proper thine to style Nilmid
a novice , for ho has had gooahan1 experience
nnd plenty of it , having fought three finish
contests in as many weeks at his old stampIng -
Ing grounds in the World's Fair city , and
what's moro , ho won them all. However , by
vanquishing Dick Mooro.be won the battle of
his career , and is , consequently , entitled to
moro than ordinary crodlt.
Nllnnd talks of going to Chicago for n few
week's visit , but arrangements for another
mooting with Moore will bo made era his do-
parture.but Moro says if ho can't gotnnothor
go at Tim he's done with the ring for ovor.
Jack Davis , slnco he had a cancer dissected
from his upper IIP. is waxing fat and hearty.
Ho has no onpngomcnts on nnd Is attending
strictly to his duties of teaching the young
nnd ambitious how to parry and punch.
Dnnnv Daly , the Omaha feather weight ,
Is now located at Lend City , South Dakota ,
and along about the 10th will meet Holllnns-
worth. the Ogden feather weight , for a $ oOO
purse , with an excellent chance for the hon
ors. The Pacific club of Frisco offered Daly
a match with Hawkins for a 41,800 purse for
Christmas eve , but owing to his meet with
Holllngswnrth , was compelled to decline.
Rotbory , his old backer here , says ho received
n loiter Tuesday from parties in Minneapolis
club offering to match Daly against Hogan
forI,500 [ purse before the rehabilitated Twin
City club. This match will likely ho mado.
There are a number of pugilistic savants
In this city , who have always proclaimed
that Harris Martin , the Black Pearl , was In
vincible , and that ho could only bo bested by
a man In his class , by the lavish u ° o of a
base ball bat or an ax. However , Mr. Mar
tin got thn kibosh last Monday night In
'Frisco ; " .Boston Benny's" height and reach
and tremendous steam was too much for the
Pearl , although ho lasted for twonty-llvo
rounds. Martin , however , would havo' had
a taste of defeat moro than a year ago had
not Jim Hightower boon jobbed out'of his
dues when they mot at St. Joo.
A delegation of four or flvo from this city
and South Omaha will go ever to Chicago
next Friday to bo in nt the meet between
Tom Ryan , the local welterweight , and How-
son , the Englishman , which comes of ! the
following night , December 13. Jack \Vilk03'
backer will bo ono of the delegation from
South Omaha , and every effort will
bo mad a to arrange a contest for
Willies with Ryan to como off in
this vicinity early In January. Louis
Houseman , sportlntr editor of tlio Inter-
Ocean and Ryan's manager , writes mo that
there are but slander prospects of such a
match being made.
Jimmy Llndsoy Is rodlvlvus. Ho Is anxious
to KO over to Chicago for the Rynn-Howson
mill , and If ho does , will challenge the
winner. He is willing , In fact anxious , to
moot either for a thousand-dollar purse be
fore the local club.
Abe Nixon , recently knocked out by Jack
Davis in a llttlo midnight bout on Cut-off
island , meets Young Burke nt Denver , Mon
day night.
In case the proposed contest bet ween Dobbs
and Harper falls through , Anron Shorrov ,
the Lincoln man's quondam antagonist , says
ha'U "put'om on wld 'im'1 and ho won't ask
a purse as big aa a inoal sack for doing it ,
cither.
Dan Daly , the St. Louis middle-weight ,
who died suddenly at his homo last week ,
was well Known in sporting circles here. It
was ho who "fakod" the South Omaha club
out of fMO a year or so ago with a couple of
monkeys called Allen and Mooney , but no
ono blames him especially for that. ' Ho was
a clover , gentlemanly follow , anil a favorite
In his sot. D.ily was born In Scotland , but
lias lived In the States all his life. His llrst
tight was with Frank Glover lu Chicago , but
ended In a draw. During his pugiilstle career
ho defeated Tom Lynch , Jim Donnelly , Artlo
Flint ami Ed. Kolloy. His first light with
Kelley lasted two hours and twonty-llvo min
utes nnd was ono of the longest contests un
der thn innrquls of Quoonsborrv rules on
record. Duly leaves a widow anil two child
ren.
Jimmy Lindsay expresses a wllllntrnoss to
meet Nlland in the event that another mutch.
la net made with Moore , and as Moore will
leave for St. Paul this week It Is moro than
proOablo that Llmlsaj will bo given tlrst
choice. Lindsay , however , will not agree to
any contest for the moro gate receipts alone ,
and In this resolve ho Is eminently correct ,
mid If the stockyards man consents to moot
him tils friends will have to como forward
nnd testify to the faith there is In them with
a roapectnblo sUcd stake. This will make a
go worth wltncsslnc , nud the preponderance
of opinion is that Nlland must Improve ma
terially before ba can over hope so adminis
ter a narcotic to the Omaha man. Notwith
standing all that has been said about hind-
soy and his mode of fighting , IIQ U yet ono of
the host middlowelghts In the country. His
doleat by Harry Ollmoro is no criterion to go
by , for ho lost that simply through bull-
heudodnoss. Today Jimmy Lindsay Is the
greatest pugilistic card , in this vicinity , that
can possibly ho produced ,
Harry McCoy , the Burlington middle
weight , 1s expected here In the next ton days ,
and in tilm WllkoV backers will find a good
deal of ready money and a mau ready to fight
at tbo drop of the hat.
Billy Woods , the Denver pug who con
quered Jack Davli last spring , will have aa
entertainment on his hands ono week from
Thursday night , the 17th , that will probably
cuuso him to long for hU mamma. Ho tight *
Joe Choylnskl btiforo the Paelfla club at

Billy Huwkin * , former lightweight cham
pion of Cunnilo , and who handled Jimmy
lirinln In this city In uU two lighla wltn
Lindsay , lias been granted his necnnd o-
lourn on earth. Ho met Sailor Brown at
Montreal Monday night and knocked him out
In two rounds.

The Knit Wild Kmrl flnanon.
Practically Iho fall wild fowl shooting for
1891 Is over , yet there will bo tolerable sport
with the Canada * foe a month yet along the
barj of the PliUto and the MUtourl , and an
occatioual crackat an old mallard may bo
had , But the grand army of ducks havn
winged their way to sunnier climes. A
cursory rovlow of the season shows that it
has been an unusually good ono , despite the
fact that no vary tremendous bags wcro
made by any partlcnlr sot of hunters , that of
Messrs. Dlckoy , McFarlnnd , Williams and
Orcgg , who wcn . up Into South Dakota early
In October , being the best. In a week's
shootlnif this quartette hung up something
lIKe 2,000 mallards , with a snrinkllng of can
vas back , teal , widgeon , red head nnd
blue bills. With moro water the season would
have certainly been an unprecedented one ,
as such an nbundanco ot feed was novel *
known on the lakes and streams nnd rivers
and marshes of this and the surrounding
status. Tbero wcro but few hunting parties
that made excursions to any ot the well
known shooting grounds who came back
empty bunded , nnd the verioH tyro In the
sport was enabled to knock over his ton or a
dozen ducks n dav. As was predicted , owing
to the piontlfulnosi of feed , and other favor
able conditions , the ducks c.iino In uncom
monly early , the first Issue of mallards , widg
eon , pintail nnd redhead coming down from
the north aa early as the 2 ! > th ot September ,
while the teal wcro disporting themselves
ami waxing fat on the reedy shallows oven
as early us two weeks previous to this data.
For teal , both blue nnd green wing , a better
season was never. known , and all
through the month of October they
were slain by the barrel about
WhltlneViiubuncoy , Missouri Vnlloy nnd
along the Platte nnd the Loup nnd their trib
utary ntroams , and when u is said that these
little beauties are the morsels of the whoto
wild fowl family , not excepting oven the
vaunted canvasback and the corn fed mul-
liinl , the delight of the local gunner can read
ily bo imagined. And mallards , too , wora
exceedingly plentiful , and In mnst tempting
form , but the Ilight of the other big uncksr ,
notably the canvasback and thd redhead , Was
extremely limited ; not to such an extent ,
however , as to render the season conspicuous
from others , because it is n well established
fact that these birds seldom slop ever hero
In any very considerable number * In their
fall ( light. "Tho spring tlran Is the season for
the cunvasbnck and his rival , the redhead ;
at any rate for these mid-coun
try waters. Evorj , hrg ] taken into
consideration , howovcr , the season has boon.
ono of unusual profit nnd enjoyment , and bo
would be a churlish sportsman , indeed , who
could find grounds for complaint.
The fall Ilight of geese has boon nothing to
oxclto enthusiasm , although tbo conditions ,
with the exception of water , wcro just a
good as they were for the ducks , and thlt
leads to the opinion thut the days ot great
goose shooting for this section of the country
are rapidly on the wane , and hut a few years
moro will bo required to make a shot at an
old honker an event in a day's outing. Just
now the birds are moro plentiful than they
have been any time duriuir the season , and
some tolerably gobd consignments wore re
ceived last woolc from along the Platto. In
the .spring the groso are moro plentiful , but
not half so doslrablo for the table.
The jack snipe shooting has been spasmodic
medic , and at no time raoro than "fair to
mlddlin' . " For a few days there was pretty
good shooting on the lowlands east or Mis
souri Valley , and for a wcok or more at Uan-
crott it was great. But these were only
isolated cases , for on the majority of the best
local grounds the birds wcro never
Slontiful , u scarcity of moisture
cing the only explanation to offer
for their absence. Of the sandpiper
family , from the July visit of the upland
plover down to the tint real cold snap , thcro
was any abundance , and it. was no trick at all
to tro forth and return with a good kill of
goldon-backs , the greater and lesser yellowlegs -
legs , or any of the smaller varieties of these
delicate morcoaux.
From this on to the Ireezo-up sportsmen
must bo content with an occasional foray
through the stubble for quail , or a ramble
through the brown woods for squirrelo , for
thcro is llttlo further chance for shooting on
the lakes or in tbo marshes until the teniDorod
winds of March again loosen their Icy fet
ters.
Still After
In view of the recent dofl promulgated by
Frank Parmoloo In the interests of Frances
Maggioll , the local champion billtardist , the
following clipping from the St. Paul Pioneer
Press Is in anything but good praco. The
Press says : Some weeks ago , after Hatloy
came to St , Paul to make his home , ho at
tempted to make a match with Maggioli of
Omaha who had claimed the championship of
the Northwest. Macgloll accepted , but when
the time came for the prize money to be put
up the would-bo champion baciied out , and
was roundly scored by ibo sporting papers ,
which all conceded to Hatloy the champion
ship of the Northwest. Mr. Hntloy modestly
accepted the title , and says that bo Is nre-
Cared to defend it against nil comers , "for
lood , money or marbles. "
If Hatloy Is so willing to defend his absurd
claim , why doesn't ho send down a forfeit and
bind a match for Parmoleo's slmoleons ?
Maggioli Is still bore , and although having
severed his connection with the Millnrd
rooms. Is apt to remain hero , nt any rate as
long as thov continue to "como as easy" as
they have In the east two or three weeks.
The Philadelphia bportlng Llfo , which paper
has been treating the Omaha man with any
thing but courtesy , also takes a whack at
him in its last issuo. Hero it Is :
"Tho St. Paul papers are publishing pic
tures of Will Hatloy , who now makes 500 erne
no count at tbo regular throe-ball game , nnd
recently nvoruRcd y. % In a 200 point fonr-
temi-inch balk line game , and 9 In a game of
500 at the same style of billiards.Vboro ,
oh , where is Maggioll I"
It All DcpciulH on Ponce.
So far , all rumors to the contrary , no call
for a mooting of the Western association has
as yet been Issued clthor from Minneapolis
or Kansas City , nor will there bo until It is
definitely known just what , the Icaguo and
association intend to do. That is a problem.
Ono day the signs all look bricht for peace ,
and the next dark and forbidding , portend
ing only n continuation of thu bitter warfare
now waging between the older organizations.
Hack of Minneapolis declares , UOUDVCI- , that
the Western association is suroto bo rehabil
itated , take place what may , and ho will take
pains that the circuit includes no weulc
kneed towns. In this event , the buron
should bo overscrupulous , and sea that no
hole Is loft open through which his own burg
can slip In , for of all the woak-kneed towns in
the organization last year , Minneapolis wa *
the weakest. And yet I do not wish to assort
anything unkind against the Minnesota
metropolis , for with a good team and
good management , she would make
ono of the strongest base ball teams In the
country , and a Western association without
her would boa lame structure Indeed. How
ever , this 1 ? neither hero nor thoro. The
base ball patrons of Omaha can make up
their minus that there will bo no real live ,
Interesting news forthcoming until the
National league and American association
como to some amiable undorUandiui. . If
they fail to reach this , then tno base ball
nrospucts for the western cilloa will bo sli m
indeed ,

Ono of Wnttio's Best "TouolicH "
A couple of weeks ago , In a voln of jocular

visit from W. H. Watklns , the famous old
Detroit St. Paul-Kansas City base ball man

this unfortunate stab ono ot Wattle's best

Which was cruel , considering the fact that ,
the said Adolina Pattl is a smoke fit for the
