A careful perusal of the list by turfmen in

question as to the earning capacity of tbo
two , viz : the high priced or the low priced
thoroughbreds.

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

The Omaha Kennel club contemplates
giving a show as soon as advisable ; and to

There were como wonderful dogs In this
show. Tosco ImperAtor , n Great Oano , re
cently Imported at u coil of $3,000 , was well
worth thu price of namUston. Ho stands
thirty-Devon Inchon * ati the shoulder nnd
weighs some 2)0 pounds. Melac , a Oroat
Dane , 11 n , splondliL specimen , but not as

though catalogued , \yni not exhibited.
Champion Pllnlimihbn , jr. , a sou of
Knimetl's St. Bernard , nnd Cham-
Victor Joseph , were line speci
mens of that historic brood. The sedate -
date nnd wrinkled face of the bloodhound ,
Jack Shepard , uttraoiod moro than his shnro
ot attention. 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

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. Cinclnnntus , Paul Gladstone , Toledo

groatlv admired by sportsmen. Pointer men
were disappointed In the absence of the great
Hobortlo Diablo.
The tied Irish Champion DlclcSwlvolnr.wo

tion and should not have boon snown. The
toy terrioH nnd spaniel ? In tholr fancy little

nnd Mr Cryor. thoUdgoof ] thU class , after
awardhiR the dllTorout colo'-od ribbons to the
winners , was noticed to mount his carpeted
platform nut of roach of nil. Ho had evi

MM. Ayou , Wellington and Powell's Edrlo

brood. Kdrlc would no doubt huvo boon n
c.lojo competitor in thU class had ho buan In

It would p.xy both you and Tins IIBU ; o make

the llrm of Dolgado & Co. , and the ox-vico
president of the Southern league , and will go
to the Mnhcr-Fitzslmmons light with him.
As the data ot those lights you know Need-
ham and Hyan tight at the Metropolitan club

increases. All the cluus , saloon's , cafes and

who will remain true and bet tholr stuff on

pion. 1 made the trip with a number of local
newspaper men over'to Bay St. Louis yester
day nnd mot Kitesimmona , nnd toolc in a por-
lio'n of his training. T saw him nox the big

not impress ma as the wbndor I had expected
to soo. 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.
After his boxing bnut ho Is very ojtonta-
tinus in all ho does hpi'lay down on a couch
and ono of his handlers placed a hundred-
pound weight on his .chost , mid ho lay there
brcatblng as unconcernedly as if 11 were a liy
that lighted , thoro. ( Ho runs a good deal ,
chopi wood , lilts heaVyMvoights and carries
them long distances , bolides a hundred and
ono other things calculated to harden his
muscles and improve- wind. Ho is evi
dently Iralnlng as It hU llfo was at stake ,
and has a healthy appreciation of the job ho

anxious lo pet up to 101 or 103 , and thinks ho
can do It , and bo stronir and active at that.
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

torost in this event , nnd the only drawback
is that the rivalry between the two clubs
prevent any one from seeing both lights.

I boar that John S. Prince is out with a chal
lenge. This Is just 111(0 Prlnco. Ho waits
till his opponents are far enough away , then
ho starts his bluster. If Prlnco wants n
match I will run him for any part of $1,000
on any fair track In this or any otbor coun
try , on any kind of maubino Prlnco likes to
namojtnd at Prince's own tlmo : I hoar that
Prince has been saying that ho foil ever Alt
Hobb In Now York , that being the reason ho
bad to quit. Now that Is not so. Prlnco bad
been oft bis wheel four hours whan Kobe foil ,
aud was not on the track at all at tbu tlmo ,
but fast asleep In hU'-b'od , Ho has also stutod
that ho beat me tlirod't'jjuoaoul of four races.
This is not so : wo'/jiof ' , four times , winning
two each. Ho also says he boat FJannagan
and Lumsdon. Thln'Ma1 ' not so. Ho did not
meet Flmmapan at nil , 'and ' bo would not go
out and race against Damidon because Lums-
dou would not lot liirM'Wlu. '
Many people in Omaha do not know my
reason for coming tfc'O'matux. ' It was not to
run la tbo tbroo-bour race , but to moot
Prlnco. Prince projnhicd mo a race and I
traveled all the way frdm Boston on purpose
to moat him. and although I was 111 ho was

Anciit the Double Keuvoi'i Scheme ,
TiieBuKlsin receipt ot numerous inqui
ries about the double season scheme , the ope
ration of which does not seem to bo generally
understood. 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

A now club has boon organized In tbo city

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. " All
the boys have promised to stand by tholr
word and to make things lively for the youth

First comes Carrlgan. then Hurley , Wlpmnn ,
Swartz and Snyder , for tbroo or four years

upon as the amateur champions of the stnto ;
Bowman , Butler nnd Pursoll , of the Black
Hills league , nnd Bowles , Nelson , Kollcy and
Egan , tbo Big Four of last year's Orchards ,
all of whom had a batting average ever .200 ,
and nil loft banders at that. It might bo
well to state tbero are eight left hand hit-

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

Frank Shugart has arrived In Pitlsburg.

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

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

Dannon Shannon , they say , is slated to

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 ,

This is the year that will vlft out the man

Shannon ilk that have boon Infesting base

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

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

wards to toll htm thnt I was Jnko Morse of
Boston 1 got a regular western wolcomo.nnd

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. With
peace restored the managers will bo able to
draw thdlmosallttlo tighter and tboro should
bo less Inlemporance. Commercial Gazelle.

horses show a pain ever last year , the two-
year-olds having collectively (19 ( less on trios
than In Ib'JI. Tlio Minneapolis staKes for
two-yoar-olds show Iho greatest falling off ,
33 , while the Twin City. Merchants' handi
cap , memorable for a thrilling finish last
Xtar between Ed Hopper , Marlon C , and
Verge d'Or ' , shows the greatest gain , 15. The
Derby has six moro entries than last year ,
and as nearly all have started in tboir two-
year-old form tbo event should be contested
by the largest and best Hold that ever started
