"That Now Jersey , duck ( shooter who
made his Httlo talk In last Sunday' * BUB
probably thinks wo don't know what duck
shooting Is , " remarked Juck Knowles to a
llttlo knot of sportsmen In Cross1 tun ; store
last night.
"So It would seem , " chimed In Petty , "but
If ho mid been with me'n the late General
Gcoi'KO Crook up at Horscshoo luke that
Marcli afternoon In 'S3 when wo had our
llttlo mntlnoo with the canvnsbacks , red
heads ana pintails , I think he'd forgot thoi-o
ever was such a place HI tbo Choaapoako or
Carry tuck.Vo bagged Just 113 ducks In ox-
nctly llvo hours' shootln1 , and fully one-third
of them wcro canvas 1"
" 1'vo heard the general speak of that hunt
manv and many a time , " interjected John
lluriltn , "and It seemed always llko a pleas
ure for him to talk about. It. "
"Yes , " continued I'otty , "Crook could

that line. and you all Know there wcro few
men who ever liud moro good shootin' tbau

"Lots see , John , " cmjulrcd Mr. Huphos ,

Judge Klscnhoirair , "how was It vou came
to hit 'cm ' so hard that day ! "
"Well I'll ' loll you , " 1'ottv quickly replied.
rolling the words 'round In his mouth us If
they wcro so many iimnli mallows , "you'll
remember thu general dropped in the store
about II o'clock that morning , an' It was a
blowlii' mid snowin' torrilc'ly , and ho sex ,
iche , 'say John , how about n llttlo Jaunt up
to Horscshoo today '
"Oh don't mention It 1'vo

.Ills mm to cholto , an' lool : t thu weather "
"llother the work nnd the weather too"bo
trot back , "J tell you 1'vo seen more ducks
llylu1 over this mornin' than 1'vo scon In
years they bavo been crossln' in perfect
clouds ever Unco daylight , an' as lor tliu
weather , why this -sort will make the hair
grow on your chest but what's tlicuso of
lalkin' , oIT with thai apron , coma on , wo
hi.vci.'l u mnment to lose , you Know It Is a
good sixteen mile drive. "
"Well of course 1 went. Wo reached the
the laku n llttlo before noon , and by rj o'clock
had our decoys out and were workin" our
Lofevers at u rate that was miraculous.
Thoru wnsnbiindln' DHOW storm ragm'undat

tually needed no blind , but Just stood out on
the shore 'mong u few broken down sun
flower stalks , nnd It was bang 1 splash I Imnirl
bangl splash ! till every last shell was
busted.
"Our gun barrels got so hot at times that wo
bud to run down into the watur nnd thrust
the muzzles in to cool 'cm off , and durln' the
t lion time I shot without gloves I blistered
my blinds till tliov were sere for several days
after. Wo got King an * his three sons to
help us gather the birds , and say , if you
could have seen the thrco piles wo built tin
under those old coUonwooUs , you'd a-tbougbt
wo had enough ducks to supply the whole
country. The next day - "
"And you say that a third of thorn were
eanvnsbacks" Interrupted Billy Towiiboud.
"Well , there was a thundcrin' lot o' canvas
and redheads. but maybe not quite as many
n that. The hulk o' the kill was pintail.
'Well ' , us I was a sayin' , the next day ole
King urougut the birds in fur us , un1 I'll
never forgot tuo crowd that swarmed into
tbo store all the afternoon to
co the gamo. They were runulu *
tbero till long after dark , and
cry few came there but what went awnv
with a brace of ducks. The general sent
Many of the canvas to Chicago and bis friends
In the cast. "
"Tlmt wus a blf | day's work sure. " resumed
Jack Knowles , who has done n pile of market
shooting In his day , "but it didn't Ixut tuo
short hhoot , 1 had with 1' . S. Knstis , general
passenger agent of the Chicago , Ourlineton
& < QuIiiuy , now of Chicago , uown at Wnu-
buncoy a few years ago. That WHS also on a
stormy March afternoon , nnd wo shot , over
decoys from behind an old rail fence , nnd in
just 0110 hour and u half wo had down Mil
canvas , redhead , mallard and blucbill. Wo
quit shooting only because wo were loaded
too hoavlly , llvo nnd a half drachms of black
powder that's nil we had hi those days and
'
on ounce and a ( juaricr of shot. Wo 'shot so
last that we hammered un our arms in great
shape , and actually had to quit. "
"That sounds u liltlo piscatorial , Juck , "
quietly interjoined the Judge , "but as yon arc
bound to lot Mr. Mundy of Newark know
that wo know what duck shooting Is out this
way , I guess 1 can stand it. "
"No , no , Juugo. I'll makoanidavlt to It. I
moan every word I nay. You can
write Kustls but Hni-Jin , you recollect tnat
hoot well enough , don't you ( "
"Oh , yes , Judee , Jack's all right. I re
member very well the big shoot bo and Mr.
Kustlsbad , but Just how long they were at
It I couldn't say , " answered Hnrdiii.
"Well , 1 can , " chipped In Mr. Townsend ,
"for I know the hour they loft Forney's
home , and Just when they got back , and' It
wasn't ' moro than two hours and a unit all
told. Purmeloo and I were shooting there at
the time , but that aftnrnoon I didn't go out
because I wasn't feeling Just rlulit. Why
I'nrinoleo made a kill that day , himself , of
considerable over n hundred birds , nnd ho
didn't sent all day either. "
" 1 know you gentl-jmon have nil had some
mngnlllcent sport n > your time , " romnrkud
( .corgo Hoaclund who had Just dropped In
for an invoice of shells , and hearing the duck
talk of course had to Join in , for If there is u
Kcnulno sportsman In all this whole western
country , flir. lloagltmd's the man. "Four
years ago this , last fall , over on the Nishnn-
liotnn river In Iowa , 1 baegod sovonty-oight
mallards nil malluriKs , mind you In exactly
one hour. That was also u suoivy , boisterous -
ous day , and I wns shooting over decoys in
the timber , and never saw the birds so tame
or plentiful. A strange thing about
that bag of ducks. " continued Mr. II. , ns ho
put his haiuls on the counter and raised him-
kelf to n seat , "was that they were nearly all
drake ? , magnificent giccn heads , and \\tmt a
eight they made ! Hcnlly , I don't believe
there were a dozen hens in the whole ea-
booulc. "
"Well , that doosn't strllco mo as being par

much greater ratio , llow'vo you found 'cm ,

"Always In excess , nnd It has always been
a puzzler to mo. I should think tbo lions
would predominate , " replied Knowlos.
"You'll ' remember , too , Judge , " continued
Petty , turning to Hughes , "how many moro
green heads than hens we killed u year ago
last fall In the Whiting marshes I"
"Yes , indeed , " replied the Judge , animat
edly , "nnd , by the way , that wasn't such u
( .lunch of a shoot either , was It I"
"No , tndccdy 1 Wo brought home 300 mal
lard and blue bill , and set the gang crazy.
You recollect It was our last annual club

"You bet It did. Hut. spoakin' of gcoso ,

"To go back to old tlmos , " interjolnod
Knowlos , "why , I remember the time old

N'cw Yonk. Jan. 20.-To the Sporting Edi
tor of Tun HKII : In my last loiter Sayers" "
"favorite duko" snould have read "favorite
double , " that Is two blows planted In succes
sion , generally with bli lett (1st ( , Tom per
formed with his left duke all through his
lighting career In that way. The first blow
was often planted on the nose and the second
a srjnnslicr on the mark or bit of tbo stomach.
Hill Ucnjnmln , although n larger , stronger
nnd more muscular man , was done up In his
llrst contest by Tom in that way. When
Hill was asked Iho reason ho cut tip so badly
ho said ho was hit very hard on the "murk"
In the first round and was not expecting a
blow hi that quarter and It sickened him
completely. Taking Soycrs' buttles as u
whole , 11) ) "my opinion , his conquest of Harry
1'oulson was his greatest victory. It Is Just
thirty-six years since that memorable contest
took place nl Nottingham , UnqUtid , and
there were some points In that protracted
struggle , which lasted three hours und eight
minutes , similar to the late so ran bctwuoii
John lj. and Chnrllo Mitchell. The ground
wus In n very muddy condition in both con
tests nnd Mitchell nnd layers were both the
Ritmo bcUnt nnd Paulson nnd Sullivan wcro
much the heavier men. I'oulson. nlthoueh an
Incn shorter than Suyrr * . was fully twenty ,
pounds thn heaviest man und wns also in
much superior condition ; every muscle was
beautifully developed and there was not n
supcrlluous ouiico on his powerful friuno.
Ilu was well known to bo aterrilio hitter and
ns game and determined n fellow as over
stripped. The enormous development of
muscle on his back and arms was astonishing.
Buyers wns not In good condition Ho and
some others had been locked up in n Suffolk
] A | ! by u county magistrate for aiding and
abetting in an unlawful pursuit , namely ,
bolus seconds in the light between Jimmy
Mussoy and Hill Hayc's , which interfered
with hU training. The "country Iwulc"
swore he would tiiaKo an example of these
London vagabond1) ) , und had them led through
the streets of Ipswich handcuffed. All
readers of Dlckciib will remember the nd-
ventures of the Immortal Pielnvlclt , Sam
Weller , Mr. Alfred Jingle and Job Traitor at
Ipswich , Some of Sayurs baciters wcro dis
pleased with Tom for making the match.
They thought ho had undertaken too blc n
coulraci nn'il would bo sure to get licked , if
ho did not get killed. Hut 'rum advised them
to buck him ut all hazards , because he Raid
ho would win and would ynt bo thochanipion
of ICnglaml. That was sot down us mere
bounce at the time. Poulson was seconded
by Jack McDonald anil Ills fellow townsman.
Hendlgo , and Sayers by Lnnghnm and
Mussoy. The reporter suul Paulson , nlthouuh
shorter and thicker set. was marvclously
like the renowned Hendlgo. Harry stood
rather close , with his hands held high , after
the old suhool style , while Sayers assumed
an easy , elegant position , with -his left well
out. Although Tom's superior science en
abled him to murk Harry at llrst , hlsstuminu
quickly failed through want of condition ,
nnd bo wns forced to end the rounds by get
ting down. In the thirty-third round buyers
fell weak , and Paulson's old opponent , Tom
Paddock , was sn confident tnut ho would
win that ho offered to lay thrco to ono
on htm. In the sixty-eighth round ,
when two hours had elapsed , the punishment
was said to be prntty equally divided. Paul
son's right eye' , like 'loin's loft , was com
pletely closed , and both of their conks wcro
very much out of shape ; the right side of
Tom'.s face was unscathed , but his ribs bora
marks of heavy Diinlsbment. Poulson had a
mouse under his left eye , but wns much the
stronger on his legs , and It was still thought
must wear him out. Many thouuht us Tom
got slower Hurry would knock him out with
his dangerous right. Tom fell sometimes
through weakness ami the slippery state of
the ground , nmiilst the groans of the Poul-
sonlans , but the referee said light on.
In the lOSth round the ofliclal account of
the mill Enid Poulson's face was now much
swollen and there was scarcely a glimmer
from his loft peoner. Ho was , riowovor , still
stroiiK as ever on hi.s pins. Ho rushad in ,
knowing he hud no time to spare , and caught
Tom heavily witn his right on tne ear. ex
changes followed Sayers' straightost. Poul
son bored in and cot homo hoavlly xvilh his
right on the ribs , when Tom planted n
straight left-hander heavily on the Juw and
knocked him down.
The lost ( lOilth ) round had evidently been
a settler for the gallant Poulson. Ho came
up irocgy and all abroad. The game follow
tried to Und n lodgment but missed , his head
came forward , and Tom delivered a heavy
right-hander on the Jaw , which again
knocked tlia veteran off his legs , nnd on being ,
taken up ho was found to bo deaf to the call
of time. Ho recovered in a few minutes and
shed tears at the result. Tom complained of
pain about the body and ribs. Harry was
quite blind , but the reporter said beyond n
broken snout nnd a bruised and battered mug
had received no damage whatever. The light
lasted three hours and eight minutes. It Is
but fair to str.to that Poulson was 119 years of
age. He died last year aged 73.
The editor of Hell's Life said Savers , on
account of being opposed to such superior
weight and strength , had to be continually
Jumping back , and the slippery state of the
ground was mostagainsthim on that account.
Poulson was highly praised for his manly ,
fair style of lighting. The editor said ho was
truly ono of the gamcst of tbo game , but ho
depended too much on his right to have much
chance against an accomplished left-handed
boxer. Poulson afterward boat a big six-
footer , when ho was 43. The oig'un proved
to bo slow on his pins and Harry hud a prime
mark to hit at. Ho nearly knocked his head
off In half an hour. Poulson was aflurward
matched with Tom King , when ho was -15 ,
and was anxious to light him , but his back
ers forfeited 15. The thought he was too
old to tackle n young giant of 0 feet , ' . ' , nearly
twenty years younger than ho was. Quito "n

Ciunox , Nob. , Jan , 20. a'o the Sporting
ICdltorof Tin : UEIS : You would do mo u
great favor If you would please publish the
following regarding Eddie Meyer of Stroator ,
III. , and myself. Meyer has been correspond
ing with friends ut Lend City , S. O. , for the
past year , very anxious for a light with mo ,
I loft Omaha and wont directly to Lend City
lor the solo put ijoso of arranging a light with
this man Mayor. While negotiating with
his manager , I was matched to fight Olck
Hollywood of Ogden , Utah , whom I defeated
in nine rounds , December Iti. Not hearing
from the Meyer party. I was matched to fight
again , with Mike Welch , tbo Denver kid ,
whom I also defeated , as was published In
Tun Un : a faw days utro , In three rounds. I
was made to understand that Meyer would
light und Alf Kennedy would back him , and
the Hodcgu club of Dead wood offered u ? T50
purio for us to contend for.
Tbo articles were drawn up nnd sent to mo
und I signed thorn nnd forwarded them to
Alf Kennedy. The reply from Mr. Kennedy
was that the purse was too small , so W. if ,
Carter of the Hodcga club wired him that u
$1,000 purse would l" > hung up. Not getting
n reply of any kind , Mr. Carter was disgust
ed and the match Is off so far as he is con
cerned. Now 1 would lilto to ask , who did
Kddlo Meyer over defeat that he should de
mand n 1,01)0 ) purse i or where did he ever
fight for oven a $500 purse ! I did IK-lit for
JTOO as the public knows , and lost , to Johnny
Van Hoostund it is tbo only black mark oh
my record , but I may sometime In the near
future bo able to redeem myself. 1 do no
like to buast in paper talk as Mr. Meyer has
been doing for the past year and do no light
ing. I am In the business for what money
1 can make out of it nnd core nothing tor the
glory , Mr. Mejer , 1 now want to say
to you , put up or snut up.
and have your immo erased
from tbo lighters' list. My proposition to
you U this ; I am ready any time , four weeks
from signing articles , to light you in private
with small gloves , ten men on a sldo , for anv
amount up as high as you would like to t'd ,
or 1 will light you for the f 1.000 purse now
offered , and bet $500 or { 1,000cm the side that
I win ; to weigh In at the ring side under 123
pounds. You have weight , height and
roach In your favor , and by defeating mo
hero you can make as much money 'as your
brother Hilly did at Now Orleans by defeat
ing Jimmy Carroll , for I am to tha Black
HIIU what Hilly U to Stroator. That is say
ing a great deal , perhaps , but coma forward
with your money and post a forfeit , and try
mo real quick , Ibo sooner tbo better ; and
should you not accept , why I um open to anv '
man in tbo country under 120 pounds , 'I
will pay no further attention to nawipaper
talk unless backed by moner , as I bavo a

From Danny Daly's letter , which will bo
found In another column , It would seem that
his light with Eddlo Meyer of Stroator. Til. ,
is off , All that can bo said Is that , It Is n
great disappointment to the Omaha boy , for
ho felt himself u sure winnerwhich ho really
win , and In Alf Kennedy Meyer has a knowl-
edgcous manager. Ho k-iow the folly of
sending Billy's little brother up against a
man of Danny's capabilities.
En passant , that wns n rlcht clover victory
Danny scored over MlKo Welch , the Denver
Kid , up at Chadron the other night , Welch
weighed I'JS pounds nnd Duly I ! ! ! * ? . At the
call of tlmo both nion stepped up Mnllinp.nnd
after exchanging greetings , Daly led oIT ,
landing bard on Welch's face , receiving a
light counter in return. Welch tried to land
right nnd loft , nut Daly wns too clover and
the round closed slightly in Daly's luvor.
The second round was u hurrlcnno. Duly
had a Job nnd Wuiited to finish bis man ns
soon ns possible. HP led and found Welch's
face with his loft and nn lust initiator planted
his right full In the stomach. Some sharp
( luhtlng followed , Welch ducking n wlckotl
right , hand swing , which , if It hud lauded ,
would have ended the light , D.ily smiled ami
fcinIIup with his left , u second later swung
Ins right on U etch's neck , knocking him
clean oil his foot. As soon us hi ! arose Duly
kept punishing him and drove him nit ever
the ring. In the thlul und last round Daly
started with a rush , anil n right hand smash
in thu stomach laid the Kid on his back help
less , Ho trind to come b.iuk , but 11. was useless -

Notwithstanding the fact thut not n band
has been turned hero looking towaid Uio
orgnnizution of a club , Omaha bus bL-en ad
mitted into the now Western association cir
cuit. All tulK. about Mr. McCord turning
over the frnncniso free of charuo is mere
drivil. Mr. Mcl'ord held no fnxnchiscMmt even
lust year , but simply ussumcd the superin-
tendency of Omaha's cluu affairs ufter the
woful collapse in July , boaitlcs generously
putting in his money to keep tbo game alive.
The organization effected ut Chicug-o lust
Thursday is n. new venture in every
particular , and has no more to
do with last year's associ
ation than it has witn tbo Japanese Icucue.
The situation hero is n peculiar uno.nnd while
absolutely nothing has boon done so far. It is
reasonable to presume that something will.In
fact must , occur shortly. A plan is on foot
for a meeting of business men some evening
this week , und at this it is very probable thut
the local orgnnlntion will b perfected. Mr.
J. S. McCormick is the first man to st.'p into
the breach , und Omnhn is to bo congratulat
ed that she has at least ono nun -to suy
nothing of hi.s late experience in b iso ball
who is courageous enough to attempt to pro
tect the credit of tbo city even in n
matter of amusement , in which the whole
commonwealth is interested. This is no time
for settling old scores or opening old soros.
What Is needed is tlm hearty co-operation of
every citizen concerned , and by working in
concert and with the ono object in view , wo
will have such a season of base ball as was
never known hero before.
Without further exhortation the now
Western league will start out with a compact
circuit , an ironclad limitation of each club's
salary list to . fl'J.DJO per annum , und n
peculiar organization Unit is apparently
bound to lorco the clubs to live up to the
limitation , nnd , ns nn almost necessary
sequence to irmko money. The clubs
are deprived of all power to sign or release
players , that privilege being vested solely in
the louguu through its secretary. lie will
sign all the players , twelve lor each club.und
no moro , nnd nftcr dividing the players into
eight teams , as nearly equalized In playing
strength as his Judgment can devise , will sub
mit the lists to the permanent fominilloo on
'
organization. This'commltteu will mnko any
changes that may lie deemed advisable , and
the teams as made up will then bo submitted
to the full league for examination and further
rovi iou. The teams and cities will then be
numbered nnd the teams distributed
by lot , the llrst team druwn
golnir to the city numbered onn. The
plan Is novel in huso ball , but will detract
nothing from the interest nnd rivalry in the
different cities. A double schedule will be
airangod , the first of eighty-four games , nnd
the second of fifty-six. Sunnuy games will
bo scheduled for each city. Each club will
take -Ki per cent of thn gate receipts , the
other 10 per cent going to form a fund , from
\vhlch salaries of umpires , league officials ,
and other necessary expenses will bo paid ,
any surplus going to form n permanent reserve -
servo fund under control of the finance com
mittee. Tuo receipts of holiday games will
bo pooled und divided equally .among the
eight clubi , regardless of whether
adverse weather prevents ono or moro
of iho games from being played or
not , the usual reduction for the reserve fund
bolng llrat made , The duty of sohoting ; the
ball to be played with was imposed upon
President Williams. As secretary ho is to
make the schedule , the season beginning
about the end of April and ending cany in
October. As president ho Is to confer with
the eastern league in reference to arranging
n friendly scmi-alllnnco , Tha committee ou
rules will urge un amendment to the general
playing rules , so as to allow managers to
coach players from the lines' . In cases of
games postponed when tied , It wus ordered
that they shall bo played to a finish on tha
next day on which a game shall bo scheduled
for the same grounds , beginning at the point

amply attested to by their unusual plcnllful-

Into the market , and were sold cheaper ,

prolonged and too widespread to engender
the hope that in favorad localities tha birds
have escaped Its evil eflools. They have

general that a prosperous season Is bofetc

It Is at lust definitely settled , Catcher Grim
will catch for Louisville , nnd "Hod" Ehret
will pitch for Plttsburg. Now lot Chill do
her worst.
The Western"association wants to pull Its
Kim the moment either John S , Harnos or
Hilly Harrington oven Intlmato a destro to
break into it.
Peter McNabb , who couldn't pitch quoits
in the Wosteni association last year , only
wanted $115 n month irom Portland for next
season , but ho didn't get it.
Harry Hnymond , it is said , is kcoptne
books for hit father. Just what kind of
books , however , remains n mystery. Hound
volumes of the Police Gazette , very likely.
Tno surplus of line ball players now on the
market is n curlaln guaranty that the days
of high salaries nro on the wnnu. Dozens of

Pitcher Inks , with Hrooklyn last year , is
now a student In the Notre Dame unlvursltr ,

pitch for Omaha , ho was known exclusively
us Mr. Writing Fluid.
Un In Milwaukee the cranka nro pressing
Cushman to sign Ohm-lev Dowald , one , ot
Sioux City's last year's twlrlors , which all
goes to show that the Milwaukee cranks
know n good man from n dub.

"Chippy" McGarr hasn't received an offer
yet and doesn't know If ho will play nt nil
next season. Sporting Life. Yo.i , and tlicro
is a whole lot of players beside the "Chippy"

Gi'oi-j.'aStrIef , thu old tlmo third baseman ,

I'll warrant , that , George would like to get u

It looks very miifluas if Nicodoinus Young
has made up his mind to permanently "turn
down" Tim Hurst nnd King GalTnoy , any
way so far us tbo National League is i-on
ccrncd. Can't get out of the way of calling
the bin body the National League. SUM !
Hut , spanking of umpires reminds me. In
case of a reorganisation of Iho Western usso-

Minneapolis is afllictod with two very
large and succulent , base ball moguls in Col
onel Sam Morton , who never buts less than
C-5UO. ( ) nnd Uaron Iluoh , who materially as
sisted in the smash-up of the Western'asso
ciation lust year. It is a hot chase ; Sam has
the pole , but the baron the grounds , and It is
a question who wins. Popular sentiment ,
however , is largely in Samuel's favor.
Cunavan is no kicker , lie is satisfied to
play in Louisville , and says ho will play his
bust for the Louisville club. That's the
proper spirit , which should bo moi-e general
among players. Courier Journal. Jimmy is
all ngiii. nnd if ho pluvs his best nr.xt year
he'll make Daniel Hoono roll over in his

tired to do much in thu cancan line.

Ho .sold u largo unmoor of tickets , but the

IIN funny how all of thorocogniziJ author

hardest hitters nnd best fielders in the coun

might ns well have been buried in the cata
