Nnw YOIIK , Feb. 29. To the Sporting Edi
tor of Tin : Bnis : The editor of Boll's Llfo In
reviewing Tom Paddock's pugilistic career ,
paid "his passionate temper had bcon his
bane , " nhd further stated that ho had scon
him Hunt a number of rounds steadily with
ill * loft , nnd derive great benefit by doing so ,
but tbo moment ho got plnkod ho would lu-
tnnll.v change to the two-handed style pecu
liarly his own. " Although Paddock began
Ills fistic career before bo was out of bin
teens , ho was a twelve slono ( IDS ) man In
hard condition to begin with and did not
Brow from a inlddlo to a heavy weight , llko
* inrry Broomo nnd Jom Maco.
L When Tom Sayors ( who was oichteun
I * months younger than Paddock ) fought Dan
/Collins in 1850.at ten stone ( HO pounds ) the
'
flght was Interrupted by n magistrate In the
ninth round , anu , ho commanded the mon to
top lighting , which they did after some re
monstrance from Saycrs' noisy followers ,
amongst whom tba championship candidate
' ( I'addork ) was offensively conspicuous and
( Was for defying all law , order , dosoncy and
common sense , and then and there , heedless
Of the consequence , finishing the nffalr on
the presumption that they had n decided ad-
Vanlaco at tbo tlmo of the Interruption.
Paddock fought Bondtgo the same month ;
bo llttlo thought nt that tlmo that Savers
would bo the champion nnd boat Paulson ,
, Jones , the Tipton Slasher aud himself soma
years nftcrwards (1850-53) ( ) .
Johnny nnd Harry Broomo bncucd Pad-
flocu in his championship light with Bcndlgo ,
and they snld ho showed n great deal of
ffractlousucss and bad temper during his
training. There can bo llttlo doubt that ho
Was a bettor man than Bnndlgo at that tlmo ,
nd would probably have won if ho hud not
tfol Irritated into a fbul blow by Bendy drop
ping.Ho mot the Tinton Slasher in Decem
ber of the same year , but was over-matched.
Xu Addition to tbo Tipton'n advantage in
height and weight , ho was decidedly the bot-
.tor sol on cod man. Pud Jock wns a rusher
wud did not practice retreating tactics. An
bid rln'g-goer exclaimed in the llrst round :
' It's nny odds on the old man , the
Toung 'un has got bis master before him. "
Boll's Llfo said Paddock looked of the
Golldh brood beside Bcntllgo , but small bo
fore the Tiptoa , aud that Tom's yokel iiko
folhU were completely out of distance ; Iho
ruih that proved dangerous to Bundigo , old ,
tale and under twelve stone , was certain do-
' .ructiou against the bulky and firm stand
ing Slasher , on account of his tact at coun
' tering , his superior length of reach , and his
'immense weight. " When the Tipton was
walking to his corner nt the end of tbo
twenty-seventh round the peppery Paddock
run aitor him and struck htm on the back of
the neck. Old Tipton turned nppeallnrly to
the roforec , who nt once decided in his favor ,
( 'j'lmo forty-two minutes. ) Paddock had
f torwards a chance to fight either Tipton or
Jones a second tlmo and ho said "Ho pre
ferred Jones. " ( ho easiest Job. ) And
Whom ho again boat in en hour and a half
' - ( . 'uno 1855) ) . Paddock Intondoa to retire
then nnd "Boll's Life sold ho mi ht safclv
hauo retired with glorv , " but ho had hoard
that ho had been matched rvlth Siyers , Pad
dock slaking 150 against 100. Sayors was
overjoyed nttho prospect of a whirl with
P&ddock , who was at the time matched with
JJroome , but Sayors backers positively de
clined to no on with the mutch until the con
test with Paddock and Broomo was decided.
Boll's Life , In speaking ot Sayers after
wards , said in 1850 Soyers flew at high
game und was actually matched with Pad
dock. The police were very busy trying to
top tbo Tiptou Slasher and Paddock from
.tnqollne nnd the reporter shin Tiptou _ vcry
prudently rested in his car while they were
limiting a place to moot , nnd bo noticed
Joromost among the crowd running across
ploughed fields , etc. , the burly figure of the
coppoi'facod Paddock. The mill was fought
by moonlight ultimately.
A man drew a knife on Paddock in a saloon
once nnd stabbed him ; Tom remarked to Bob
Travors , the black pugilist , "Bob , ho'ssttck-
Ing mo. " Tom and his assassin wore arrested
"and " tried next morning. Paddock aftor-
"Wards forfeited 80 to the Tipton and came
'boar ' having to forfeit to Siiyors through
letting his hasty temper get tbo better of
bim , in some words with Aleck Keene , his
principal backer. Ho bad a dangerous Illness
knd bad boon In the hospital tbo year before
bo mot Sayors and was stale and no longer
the vigorous fresh man ho had been.
"Tho editor said ho gained a slight advan
tage ever Sayort In their contest somotlmoj ,
but it.was very short lived , enoughhowever ,
Was done to convince us that had bo been the
Paddock of five years previous , Tom's
chances of holding his proud position would
hnvo been anything but rosy. " Notwith
standing Paddock's atalonoss bo showed all
bis old srumonoss and gained the first blood
( md tbo first knock down. Poor old Tom bad
the temerity , when nearly on his last logs ,
ever two years later , to moot the irignutlo
61m Hurst , and was knocked oat and had his
ribs broken by a riant bander from the
clumsy coloxsut In ten minutes. Hurst was
a hammer man or blacksmith's helper. HU
beighth was six foot two and a half , his
cheat circumference forty-nine inche ? , and
bis usual weight in his clotbos when swing
ing tbo sledeo hammer was 260 pounds.
The Staloy Bridge Infant' ! as bo was called
was cut all to ribbons and beaten into help
lessness by the accomplished Jem Mace , in
eight rounds , In 1801. Mace in tbat contest
weighed 150 pounds. Sayors and Mnco , although -
though only middle weights , could glvo uway
' lumps of weight , through tholr skill in dodgIng -
< | Ing blows , whereas both Paddock and Jones
came tu grief in their contests with Tipton ,
Hurst und McCoola
- The Tipton fought a draw and was beaten
iby Charles Freeman , the American giant ,
who was ton inobos talloraad seventy pounds
heavier (181'J ( ) . Frnonian'it ' height'was six
foot ton and a half , and his fighting weight
was 353 pounds. I saw Freeman and Count

and sprang to bis feet with great muscular
Bgillty like n flash. Big Bon was moro com

What a howl would have gone up from the
Uyun contingent all ever the country If it
had been Dunny Neodham Instead of Uyan
who flunked In th'o great welterweight fight
nt Now Orleans lost Alouday night. " In the
moraine on the day of the contest n bulletin
was sent out saying that Tommy was in tbo
fullest flush of condition and that ho bad in
aonk for Danny ono of the most- thorough
drubbings presumptuous pugilist ever
received. This sot the Chicago crowd , who
were backing Hyan , tootbi mouth , money
and loonnll to plunging nnd It Is reasonable
to suppose succeeded in placing the most of
their stuff , ns Noodhntn's adherents wcro no
scarce quantity by any means. In the mean
time Noodham himself , who was as strong
nnd. elastic as n ploco of rubber , yjas the
moat confident aiid oacor individual you ever
saw. Ho urged his friends
that hero was their opportunity
to make n ton strike , that ho couldn't possi
bly bo in better llx , anil nn interposition of
prnvidonco alone oould prevent him from
turning the tables on Hynn. The latlor's
backers , too , became cognizant of Danny's
ovortowerlng confidence , nnd whllo it m'ny
hnvo haa nothing whatever to do with Hyan's
tonsils , It is qulto certain it made a numbar
of the follows nbout his quarters exceeding
ly siclr. And so tbo great light never cnmo
off. Ryan's backers
presumed a physician's
cortltlcnte instead of Tommy minself.and the
assembled sports were compelled to find
salvo in nn impromptu mill between Need
ham nnd youn * Jack Burke , the latter prov
ing but llttlo better than u punching bag for
the St. Paul boy.
In this city where Noodham Is well known
and extremely popular , ho was a big favorite
In his match with llyan , nnd the disappoint
ment at their failure to moot was of the
keenest kind.
Dick Mboro scored a most creditable -vic
tory in defeating Paddy Cumlngs at Dubuque
lait Saturday night. Tno two fought a draw
In St. Paul a year ago , nnd the consensus
of opinion at the tlmo was that Cumings
was too ble and strong for Moore. Dick ,
however , evidently differed with these sa
vants of fistlo capabilities , for on Saturday
night last ho gave away sixteen pounds , then
wont In'and In a fearful .slosglntr match of
sixteen rounds put the big Irishman out.
Dick Moore is in the city anxious for aeon-
test with any man In hU class in the coun
try. Cumrainga. the man ho defeated nt
Dubuque Saturday night , has challenged
him for a finish light for $ X > a side and the
on tire gate , the fight to como off cither in
Dubuque or this city insida of four weeks.
Moore has accepted , but no arrangements
for the mill have as yat boon made.
The Blnck Pearl received another very
thorough wholloping out in Frisco last Mon
day night. Cbarllo Turner , the Stockton
colored pug , turned the trick. It was a tremendous -
ondous light , however , and the Pearl was
punched out of all semblance to humanity.
Hundreds of the best judges in the country
wont wrong in picking Manor ns > a winner
over Fitz.sltnrnous lost Wednesday night , but
right hero In Omaha the FiUsimmons men
on the night of the tight were largely in the
majority , as the betting at the Diamond in
dicated. Muhor quit.
Billy O'Donnell of this city nnd Jim Daly
of Burlington , la. , fight in an ice house n't
Covington , this state , this evening.
The Blnck Pearl received the kibosh from
Turner out In "Frisco last Monday nlcht In
thus wlso , says the Chronicle : "Tho fight
ended in the nineteenth round , and very
quickly , too , for after a brief rally Turner
ducked a hot loft and returned tbo compli
ment with a heavy right on tbo point of tbo
jaw which brought the Pearl to the boards.
Ho lay there for consldurably ever the allot
ted ten seconds , whoa his friends draggad
him to his corner. Turner was qulto un
touched nnd apparently as frost ) as paint ,
whllo It took the Pearl some minutes tore-
cover and leave thu ring.

Didn't l.Uo the Able
OMAHA , March 3 , 1893. To the Sporting
Editor of Tun Bin : : lu the interests ot fair
play and athletic. ) lu general , I would direct
your nttontlon to the conduct ot the mana
gers and judges ot the armory contest , espec
ially In the mile walk ovont.
I am awuro the managers had n deal to
contoud with In bringing their sports to n
successful issue on so small n track.but that
Is no excuse for partial judgment to some ,
nnd foul play to others. In the ono mlle walk
thora was ono man who was badly dbuiod.
I refer to Collier. This man took the load
from tbo start , and led far the llrst halt mile ,
walking strictly nnd fairly , whilst every
other man on tbo track was simply running ,
as was admitted by the Judges , who cautioned
every ono of tnom ( Collier oxconted ) several
U m os.
I don't know whether to attribute tbo
action ot the judgo.i to tholr Ignorance ot the
laws of hcel-und-too walking or to > xay they
were staunch , true mon who would stop at
nothing when their friends needed tholr as
sistance. I take it ns the former. It seems
the moro charitable vlow and for their in
formation I will just clvo them a hint about
the laws of cautioning. ( I don't ' refer to the
way you would know n tnou was run
ning. All the judges know that
last night. They couldn't but know It ) ,
when n man breaks In walking ho Is
cautioned , nnd should bo ngam break ho Is
cautioned by being stopped and turned
around. Now should ho repeat tbo oftonso
ho Is ordered irom the track. Now iu tha
armory contest these laws wora ultogothqr
ignored by the Judge * . All they scorned to
know about cautioning was to say , "Keep
down , keep down , " which every QUO of them
said at least u dozen times to.every man ex
cept Collier. But bore It did not ond. Col-
llor had tbo race well in hand dosplto all .the
running , had not two of the three judges
given him to understand on askine , that the
man who ran past him for the lend ( and who
was subsequently awarded tbo race ) , wns
disqualified. Collier judged his race from
this point to the end as if this nvin was out
of the raco. Ho naturally believed the
judges , but it scorns they wanted to see who
would como in for the modal before they
would decide whether a man was running or
not. Moreover there was ono Individual who
assumed the whole responsibility of judclng
the rnco , nnd finally awarded It while the
judges was at thu other end of the courso.
Now wns this fair ! Or what were the
judsos placed around the track for ) Don't
you think the Judges who cautioned every
man so often ( Collier excepted ) might if
they were allowed time , . have n material
inliuonco on the decision ? As it was , ono ot
them who saw tbo mistake attempted to
mend matters consoling Collier by saying ho
the only ono wao walked , and only made
thorn worso.
Hitherto I have only stated bare facts
concerning the gross foul play to Collier.
But these facts , taken into consideration
with n few more llttlo Incidents , give matters
n very ugly appearance indeod. From tbo
first the managers nnd judges and competi
tors ( but I don't mind thorn , ft was only
natural on tholr part ) wore prejudiced against
this man Collier. They chargoa htm with
being a professional because ho walked a
race ( confined to amateurs ) in the Coliseum.
They objected to him ou the ground of en
tering under a pseudonym , but that counts ,
nothing when It was a scratch raco. Finally
they said ho was not outerod , but an Investi
gation of the honorable secretary's manu
scripts overruled that objection. At last
they suddenly allowed him to walk , evidently
determined thai that was all the good it would
do him.
Now , this is no way to treat athletes or
support athletic * . It is all very well to give
a contest and charge no entry fees , but that's
no excuse for dispensing with fair judgment ,
and I would suggest in the event of another
contest coming off nt the armory they would
aavertlse It as "a conilnod ono , " "to special
wlnuors , " and not mislead the amateur ath
letes of the city ( and then Insult thorn ) by
advertising It as an "opou contest , " Yours
truly , S. WATSOK ,

Another good change In the cede of laws
governing base ball games is that fortifying
the umpire against annoyance from kicking
players nnd bull-headed captains. As ho
always was , bo Is to continue as solo and
absolute judge of all plays , and In no in
stance , uor under any circumstances will
any player bo allowed to question the correct
ness of his decision. If any player loaves
bis position in the field , on the bases or
bench , with tbo slnglo exception of the cop-
tain , and ho to show the playing rules onlv ,
ho will bo fined , an arbitrary duty imposed
upon the umpiro. Should a manager or olub
officer presume to cntor tbo field ou any
occasion ia dispute , tbo game roust bo given
to the opposing club.
This is undoubtedly ono of tha best changes
that has boon made In the base ball cede for
several years , as it relieves the spectator
absolutely from the harrowing scene of an
umpire surrounded by two wrangling teams
during the progress of a game , and does
away with all the senseless kicklng'that has
hitherto marked all close games. Another
thing , It shortens n regular contest by fully
ten minutes , which Is a good deal'to ' many
patrons o' the gamo.

L. C. Krauthoft of the players' committee
of the now Western league , writes that tbo
committee has boon overwhelmed with appli
cations from ball lessors who are anxious to
link tbolr fortunes with those of the now'or
ganizations this season. Friday Secretary
Williams sent Mr. KrautbofT nbout fifty ap
plications for him to puss upon.and'tlils ' lot
increased the total applications to consider
ably moro than the number needed by the
eight duos. About half of tbo applications
heretofore were fro-n rising players In the
smaller leagues , but now the players'm < last
year's Western association are -sending In
tholr terms.
The salaries are very moderate , consider
ing tbo fancy llguroa tboyhave boon accus
tomed to , and Bomo of the old playcra who
have boon tearing the air Into shrods'with
tholr howls against tbo new plan are now
meekly asking Secretary Williams for quUo
modest salauo's. Among these is Larry
Twltcholl , who a few weeks ago was declar
ing that ho would never play for less than
> 00 a month. Mr. ICrauthofl1 stated yester
day that , on account of the unexpouto'd num
bor of applications , none would be rocolvod
after March 1 , and ho advised all players
who bavonot sent In terms to got inside be
fore the door is closed.
Amateur Atliletlci ,
There has boon talk for some time
among tbo athletes of the oity to.hold an
open contest m which all amateurs might try
their prowess. This has taken active form
and will bo held under the ausplcxu of the
Young Men's Christian association In Ex
position ball March 134. The events will be :
Polo vaulting , hltoh and kick , standing hop
step and Jump ; putting sixteen-pound shot ,
three broad jumps and standing high jump
A number of mon have already Blgulllea
their Intentions of entering and it is bopei
that every club and turning society In the
city , South Omaha and Council Uluffa wll
oa represented. It Is an all round centos
and the three first mon will recelvo suitable
medals. Entries must be made to W. S
Sheldon at Young Men's Christian asiocla
tion , or O. T , Zimmerman at FlrU Nat ion a

Tno attempt to ohnngo tbo rule on balls
md striken rosultad In fnllo.ro , as It should
have dono. The great difficulty wllh the
mon who have the moulding nnd minlpula-
ion ot the national game In their hands Is
.holr prouonoss to tamper with the rules.
L'hoy never seem satisfied to lot well enough
nlono , nnd at aach recurring annual meeting
n great deal of tinkering is dono. This spring
t was the nbovo mentioned rulo. Some
authorities thought bv thus Increasing iho
inndlcan on the pitcher it would Increase
the batting mm In turn enhance the liveliness
of the gamo. But it was an untenable theory ,
"or it would have bad just the contrary of-
'oct. Tha bnlsman would have had ono loss
swlpo nt the ball , but. un increased cbnnco to
reach his base on the pitcher's inability to
ml them over. This , however , would have
added precious llttlo tu the excitement of the
game , nnd It Is nn exceedingly gratifying
'ihing to know that the old rule stauds ,
( into the Pony Mutter.
The tricky batter has' had his chances for
cuunliig worn curtailed by the recent modifi
cation of the rules , Hereafter the man at
, ho but \\111 bo dented the opnortunlty to In
tentionally foul a ball In order that tha base
runner may advance. Neither will there bo
nny such thlnp'as a blocked ball by reason of
the " same striking the batsman's ' club when
"n poutlon. Ho must mind his eyes , to do-
icond to nautical parlance , or ho will bo
ossed out ut first on ouq of these so-called
unintentional love taps. The now rule pro
vides that a ball so delivered that U touches
i bat of the bntsman in position shall .bo
called n batted bull and In play. Another
low thing is that a ball striking a fence loss
ban 345 foot from the homo pinto , entitles
the batsman but to two bases only.
