If you have not been around it is worth your while to coma and bear what the debating society haste to say on the subject , P. J.

It Is said Fletcher will have one to weigh not more than nineteen , pounds whan finished. Zimmerman haa boon reinstated , as a mat ter ol course. The laws covcming amateur cyclers are the most lax of any In the code. Omaha will have a number of disquallfled mon probably within the next six months , and yet the world will continue to go rouna just the samo. The disc wheels , which made suoh a son. sationat the Stanley show , will shortly bo 'on the market. Premises for tboir manu facture bavo boon taken , but the preparation of lha dies is a matter which lakes con siderable amount of time and the utmost cnro , so that It will bo the middle of next month before they are fairly before the trade. A now style of .ball bearing is about to make Its appearance in Germany , nnd the inventor bolloves that the now system will make a difference of thirty per cent In the pace of a machine. Wo shall shortly bo nblo to giva a detailed descrlpoion of this now In vention , which Is creating a great deal of comment over there. Tbo committee on entertainment has at last been heard from and showed their colors Wednesday evening It being "club night. " Cards , music and recitations were the order until 10:30 , when the members ropared to the dining loom where refresh ments were served. A debate followed on tbo question of allowing associate members a volo. The discussion will continue until the next club night wnon it Is bopod a full atlondauco will bo on band. The first machine made entirely of al * uminium was recently finished by Dr. do Susinl , on old deputy of Corsica. The mactilno Is a safety of the ordinary model , and except tbo bearings , chain , chain-wheels and spring , is formed wholly of aluminium. It is a full roadster , but only weighs about 27 pounds , with cushion tire , and was con structed to the doctor's order by M. Dlgeon of Paris. First Lieutenant W. T.

A LETTER FROM PAT ALLEN I'ngliintr * I'lMlo Idol Huso Hnll Xow Oa- lurc Tlio llykcr * T.nkonml Strram "oRBy C'liut nnil Hrorxjr Nntrn null Comments. NKW YOKK , Fob. 10. To the Sporting Editor of Tun BEE : In response to n cor respondent 1 will say that in my Judgment Tom Saycrs was ono of the greatest of all pugilists In his or any other day. Ho was not no nrtillcial boxer like Tom Spring , but was a naturnl lighter with an original pro nounced style , peculiarly his own. Ho was never knocked out of limo in all his long lighting career. Langham was the only man who succeeded In closing both of his oyes. Although ho did not bnvo much the best of It In his drawn battles with Collins andJonos , ho took a commanding load In their second contests and won without Ullll- culty. Ho was n very hard hitter with both hands , and his extraordinary Judgmont. of tlmo and distance made his blows count. Jncit Martin whom ho defeated in 185:1 : , wns bucKOd ftom Hen Caunts , and Big Bun snid , "Jack hod beaten all the big fellows as would stand oop. " They were matched to-fight at 147 pounds and on scaling both were under the weight. Martin , though the shorter man , being n trlflo the heaviest. Martin showed great muscularity of arm and thighs , but elsewhere was inferior to Sayers. In the second round Bayers stopocd back and waited for Martin's rush and then aont out his loft with torrlllo force on the Jaw , nnd Jack tumbled ever on his face , ap parently out of time. In the twenty-third round Martin came up all abroad and Saytr. delivered his loft on the cheek and followed It. up with a heavy richt bander on the nose and down wont poor Martin for the las' tltno ijulto insensible , and it was fully llvo min utes before ho recovered consciousness. The reporter snld : "Marlln was clearly ovor- matched. Ho was opposed to a taller , longer and stronger man and in his opinion hail fur greater knowledge of the art of s > olf-aofonso than himself. " Some contend that Sayors was fortanato In the men ho wns matched with and that ho did not moot thoTlpton and Paddock in their best day. Poulson , whom ho boat with ditti- culty after a desperate orolriictcd battle of three hours and oicht mfnutos , was verging on forty. And Aaron Jones , who gave him a great llsht the first contest , and who hud youth , height and weight in his favor , ought to have won , but Aaron was lacking in stamina an t dotnat was nothing now in his history. The editor of Hell's LUo said , re garding Aaron : "As wo have before said , and now moro emphatically state , there ap pears to bo a want of .stamina about him , ho oftou makes a very excellent tight for an hour and a half , but almost invariably utter that limo ho appears to fall off weak and languid , anil to become Incapabloof anything llko ex trao rill nary exertion. " Old Johnny Gldeun on the other nandsaid ' 'Aaron fought like a hero and rather added to than lost his lisllo fame by his defeat. Oidcon said Sayerj haa a severe attack of cramp in his lower extremities and had hard work to save the fiirht , the weather Doing bitterly cold ( Jan uary ) , and old Johnny had a flro lighted and revived his pot with drons of comfort ( brandy ) , and Tom's recovery was miracu lous. Gideon claimed the honor of bringing Sayors through. Aaron said ho iniured his hands ) , and the editor said "that was an additional reason why he should retire - tire from the profession where strong bands were two of the principal necessaries. Sayors' hands , although small , must have boon made of uncommonly good stuff. Ho marked" his roon fearfully nnd his digits never swelled. Ho fought Aaron Jones a hard fight , lasting three hours , and thirty- one davs afterwards another contest of eighty-live rounds , lasting two hours. Ho knocked Aaron oft his pins with a right hander on the Jaw in the fourth round nnd it was with the greatest didlculty Jones' seconds revived him In time , .vet after the mon had been'hard at it for eighty-flvo rounds Tom caught Aaron on his best , oyo. shut it up and knocuod him out with his richt. The surgeon who dressed Aaron's damaged optic said the effects of the blow looitod as if it bad boon done with an "in strument. " Sayers , in adultion to bis agility nnd powerful hitting qualities , had unusually good tools to work with. The same cannot bo said of Gharllo Mitchell nnd Jim Uorbott. Some of the best men In the ring have beoif unable to finish nearly beaten mon on ac count of their hands swelling llko bundles of dough. Although Savers was a wonderfully big man at the weight , his arms , although long , were not very muscular. Ho had a muscular back and bis shoulders and neck were like those of a 200-pound man ; his loins were strong and ho had good calves. Tom showed to much bolter advantage jn the twenty-four foot rinp on the turf than on a stage with gloves. The three minute Queons- berry rules would not have suited Tom's style of lighting. His plan was to keep the big ones on their pins and make long rounds. Savors was born in April , 18ill , and stood 5 foot 8J4 Inches In his fighting shoos. This weight in sixteen of his notable baltles I take from Boll's LUo : Old Johnny Gideon lately stoutly contra dicted a Now York sporting paper's state- moot that Sayors weighed 160 pounds' when ho foucht Hoonan. Gideon said bo weighed him the baturday before tbo flght when became came out of a bath and ho staios "that ho did not weigh an ounce moro than 140 rounds when ho mot Heouau. " Ho was probably Ifil pounds , because tbo trainer allows 'his man to rest tbo last day or two and tboy generally gain a few pounds before entering the rlnR. _ T. O. K. A I.lttlu ItitKKy Chat. OMAIU , Neb. , Fob. 18. To the Sporting Editor of TUB linn : In last Sunday's BKK , m an arttcio headed "Pups of Proud Pedi gree , " the writer remarks : "All who have attended tbo local bench shows luiow that there a number ot highly bred dogs owned in this city , " whlto tbo facts are , dogs of pedIgree - Igroo and promise owned in Omaha or else where have never been exhibited In the fake bench shows given hero. Wo bavo never bad a recognized dog show iu Omuha. By a recognized show is meant ono given under tub auspices of the American Kennel Club association , which requires a guarantee of prl/oa , suitable benching , or stall for the Oops , and disinfectants ; no dogs can Da boachcd except such as are registered In the American Kennel Club stud book , or listed in the American KonnolCiub Oazoito ; there fore ! , a recognized show can only exhibit dogs of pod I cr oo and merit. The Omaha Kennel club contemplates giving a show as soon as advisable ; and to post themselves on what a tlrst class show should be , tbo club delegated a committee to attend the Chicago show , which Is con sidered the second Unit in tbo couutry , li was bold in the Armory , a building of two rooms , each 100 fool square , where so mo 600 dogs were benched dogs ot all colors , forms , disposition and breed * . A\\ \ \ had their admirers , Yon would hoar a lady remark : "I don't see what any ono can find to admlro In thoio borrid bull dogs , " and a few minutes later she could bo heard giving the podlgroo of a toy dog for for generations the sbapo of car , face , qual ity of hair , etc. , etc. , as required by the adopted standard ; while a man would look at her dear little pota with contempt and tben go Into raptures ever the remaruablo depth of muzzle , wrinUlo , etc. , of a mastiff , A careful observer , wbotber posted or not on dog standards , would see the rollnomont and careful breeding of all classes on exhi bition. Tbore U as much difference between b well bred dog aud a cur as there la botwooa an American soclci } . Jollo ) and tin Indian squaw.

The Russian wolf hounds , or Urnzols , a brcnd recently Introduced Into this country , were glx-en a wulo berth , they bo- Itii * of'u ferocious mid treacherous disposi tion. Probably the most useful Ulnil of dogs In the world Is the colllo , of which thuro was a Inrgooutry (07) ( ) comprising the most perfect specimens In the world , in the English sot- Ch.

Vaquolln , brs5nd clumsy as ho is , hit him bard and ofMrf. but Fitz never failed to get back in riith'6r good shepe. Ho is a misshapen genius , and to look at him is to want to see him Hctcad.

Maher will enter the rintr , it is said , at less than 170 , so the disparity in the weight of the men will not bo worth mentioning. I will write you again before the light. Oh , yes , about Uyan and Needbam. They are ooth doing their hardest at preliminary work , and will leave nothing undono.to bo in as perfect physical condition as tba laws of nature will admit.

From reliable sources it is as certained that tba whole schedule will em brace UO games , which it to be divided into two championship sorles , the tlrst to consist of eighty-six games and lha second fifty-four , There will be no emblematic pennant award- oil to oltuor the tlrt or second series , uulois the same team tnkrs both , then of course they would bo ontttlcd to the regular cham pionship flag , It different teams win the llrst and second porlc.i , then at the close of tbo latter , these- two will bo pitted ngalnst each other In a series of games for the cham pionship of the longiio. The advis ability of a special sorlos ot games to dccldo second nnd third nnd even Inst positions Is now bolnp considered , ntiil It Is not Improbable that they will bo arranged. It would bo useless to enter Into an ex planation why n division of tbn season was thought advisable , ether than to say that these mostly Interested concluded that It would greatly enhance the general Interest In the b.ittle , from the opening to the close , as well as to keep each team spurred up to renewed effort. Under the douolo system It will bo late In the season before any ono or two or three clubs con bo said to bo out of the roco. KclV Killer * A now club has boon organized In tbo city under the management of Jack Koltoy of last season's Orchards. Jack has taken great pains with his now team , nnd wbon the gong sounds will play ball. It will bo found to boone ono of the strongest npgrocatlons ot Holders and hitters in the city , If not In tbo state. Tno popular manager has picked out the cream of the players of last year's Cranes nnd Orchards , and has tholr names to a con tract which la styled n "trust of honor.

Moil of the ahovo players have bad ono to four years' experience in minor leagues and are first class iu every detail of the game and most of them can bo addressed through the sporting editor of Tim Bui : . The first of tlio Season. . Manager Rowe , of the Omaha ball team , has already arranged a number ot exhibition games , and will giva the cranks an early opportunity to size up the loam that is to represent the metropolis of tbo plains this season. The Omaha players will bo In structed to report for duty April 1 , and the following Tuesday and Wednesday will probaoly see thorn pitied against Patsoy Tobnau'"s Cleveland leaguers.

Ho began training yostorday. Tbero is a good deal of curiosity expressed In the Mound City to see Frank Genius. Ho Is "tipped off" as a comer. Billy Earlo , the little globe-trotter , is moro than pleased thai bo Is to play again under Al BuuKcnoerger , who , was his last season's manager. Philadelphia may give "Dad" Clarke a chance. Then after a ween or two there is another thing Philadelphia will give "Dad' ' ' a release. Billy Campion , Milwaukee's last seasons' first baseman , has appealed to President Williams for a Job this summer and so the world runs away. Manager Captain Teboau of Cleveland con templates placing McAlcor back iu center Held , with Davis in right and Burkott In left , aud a great field they will muko. Dannon Shannon , they say , is slated to manage Troy. Got in probably throuuh thu old wooden horse dodge , same as they did during the cole bratcd soigo B. C. Joe Lohbcck , ono of Denver's last vear's catchers , Is trapping out In the mountains. So fur ho has trapped a great many coyote , skunk , mink and muskrat , but nary a con tract. It would be almost as sensible to begin to pick out the winners iu tbo Woslcrn loaauo before tbo name of a single player Is known , as it is to name the winners in the big league. The players for whom so much fussing is now going on may all bo hustling for ' "alts" themselves next year. Ono year a man in base ball Is a king. Tbo next .ho is a hoi- carrier. Herman Long bad eighty-seven moro putouts - outs last season than any oilier league short slop. This was owing lo JooQuinn's weak ness forcing Long to cover second.on thrown balls from tbo catcher. Harry Fournior has signed a contract with [ 'resident Williams , that much I do know , Well , Harry Is u promising player , not only im an occupant of tbo box but as a good , reliable - liable billor and runner. Umpire John W. Gaftnoy is a knight of the composing stick. Ho had a fai take from the American association and got § 500 on his 18'JJ contract. Ho is outside tuo league breastworus , however. AU the players signed late last fall by President Spca ? for Kansas City have been turned over to President Williams lo bo assigned , and judging from the "heft" of some of thorn , Johnny W. was dovllsu glad there was somebody to turn thorn ever to. Jack Plokott is bossing a gang of strcot sweepers in Chicago , and they say that Jack looks so much llko the balance of tbo gang that you can't lull totbor from which. Ho $004 to Baltimore when the season opens. Bug Holliday plays the races regularly , but of late lias been getting it In the nock badly , The liug also has a penchant for craps , faro , poker and seven-tip , will bet on an occasional election , and Is n true disciple of tbo school of Jake Aug. All Cincinnati bull players are sports. Tboy have to bo. It is money to mush thnt Larry Twitoboll , Billy Alvord and Uoorgo Toboau will bo found with Western leauo teams by the Idas of March. ConfHooco In their ability to oat tbroo times a any without playing ball will take a big shrinkage before the entries closo. This is the year that will vlft out the man agers from tbo army of clubs of the Dan. Shannon ilk that have boon Infesting base ball during tbo past ton years , There must bo an apology for a brain at the head ot a club this year , anyway , a necessity unknown lu this association up to dato. At tbo Chicago meeting of tbo Western league , the name of Dan Shannon was writ ten on tbo list of eligible players by ouo of the delegates , uud crossed out by another , and ono who had a right to use tbo blue pen cil too. Mr. Shannon consequently received no "Invite" to coma west and soil somebody out again this season. John Barleycorn and the ball pluyor will not DO on such friendly tarms this year as they have In the past. The players for the Western lojguo are being selected as much for tboir respectability as they are for their playing strength , and there nro many others bosldos Elmer Foster , who will have o good opportunity to retire. This season will bo a crucial ono for mana gers In the Western loaguo. With all start- ItiR out upon even footing , as regards loams , these managers who know now to handle loams nttor they got them nnd extract the best work from them nro bound to como to the front , aa they will DO toss handicapped by financial drawbacks than ever bcloro. Sporting Llfo. "Whlto Wings" Toboau of Denver , thinks that the salary limit of the now \\cstorn league Is entirely too small. Well , Goorcio. old boy , you don't have lo bo troubled with Inking care of any of IU Jump rltrht in nnd sign with Boston or Now YorK or any of the big league clubs for $3,000 or # 5,000 a year , you are not anchored out here , are you I The managers of the different clubs com posing the now Western league , are as lol- lows : DavoHowo , Omaha ; GUI Sohmolz , Columbus ; John T. Bnnh , ImllanapolU ; L. C. Krauthoft and John W. Spoas , Kansas City ; Snmo Morton , Minneapolis ; Jack Bon net. ( prob.\bly ) St. Paul , C. H. Morton , Toledo ; Charlie Cusliman , Mllwaukoo. The writer has boon urging ManairorBuck to sign George Schoch , now that hU release by the Senators is certain , Buck thinks well ot the little , hainmorcd-dowu shortstop , but vows that tbo warn U Illlod. Washington , ho declares , is mistaking it In releasing Gentleman George. I'lttsburs Gazotto. Looks as If you would have lo return west , Gcorgo , and continue to grow up with the country. Of the Western association's last year's corps of pitchers , the following have caught on with the big league : Billy liart and inn ? , with Brooklyn ; Martin Duxo nnd Monldn , with Chicago ; Klllcn nnd Dolnn , with Washington ; Kettgor nnd Davlcs , with Cleveland ; "Kod" Enrol nnd Elinor Smith , with PIttsburg , and Mcckln , wllh Loiils- vlllo , mid n corking eood outfit thov arc , too. Billy Hart , ynung Klllcn nnd Davlos nro es pecially calculated for.good work among the big 'tins. Jnlto Morse of the Boston Herald In tolling about his late Ivip across the continent , says : Wbllo uolnp through the splendid now build- Ingot Tin : O.MAHBun I was introduced to Sandy Griswold , the sporting editor , as Mr. Morso. Ho never as much as gave mo moro than a glance , but when I proceeded nflcr- wards to toll htm thnt I was Jnko Morse of Boston 1 got a regular western wolcomo.nnd wo made most of the few moments allotted to mo and , of course , talked on such forbid den subjects as base ball. Dan Stearns called around at Johnny Spcas' ofllco In Kansas City the ether day and en deavored to ring in a big bluff , Out ho re ceived a prompt call and has not been hoard from slnco. Of course Danny wouldn't play hall for anything like what the Western league Intended to pay , and llko Larry Twltchell , Alvord , Toboau olul. , ho will turn martyr and BO to work. Mr. Speas' ro- jomder was that Danny.should wait until ho was asked to play before ho refused. An other indication lhat a certain "element" is to bo eradicated. Halllgnn must dosomo lively work In order to got down to woigot. When ho joined the Cincinnati club the latter part of last season ho was about thirty pounds Heavier than ho should have bean and it Interfered materially with his plaving. Ho has been sharply crlclzlzod , both by players and tbo local base ball public , for many are ot the opinion that ho is too slow for an outfield position. Ho is n fast runner and Manager Loftus of leu as sorted that with moro experience and in good playing form ho would " bo of incalculable value to any team. Ho showed rapid Im provement In bis fielding while with the Hods , nnd as a bailer there are few who can rival him. Halllgan is popular in Cincinnati and if ho is a trifle steadier in his habits his playing will Improve. The Western league is n bad training school for young players In ono respect. The lock of discipline allows players whoso inclinations run thnt way to drift into habits which are not calculated to improve Ihom morally and physically.
