So the great finish content between Jack
Wllks of St. Louis and Tommy llynti of Chicago -
cage will take place at lastnt
South Omaba Saturday ovonlng , July
110. The meet will bo at catch
weights nnd under tha auaplcos of tbo Maglo
City Athletic club for a purse of $ lr 00 and n
tide but ot | J,000. Prominent sporting men
of this city and South Omaha are backing
j \Vllks , nnd Chicago parties will furnish the
collateral forNoedliam's conqueror. It will
doubtless provo ttio greatest mill cvor
fought In this vicinity and will at
tract crowds of the fancy from nil
over the country , particularly the western
' cities.
j As Is nlwnys the case the sports
j have nlrrndy decided Iho light , but the dlftl-
culty is they nro far from unanimous In their
decisions. Ono set of mnn arc as sum as
tbo ; nro allvo that Wllks will notrer be in It ,
while unothorls Jusl as positive that Jack
will UCK liln man to n ( lead moral certainly.
As the country clodhopoor romurltod : ' 'It's
mighty lucky nil mon don't ' thitiK uhko , for
If llioy did I'd never got Anny Mnrlnr for a
wife. "
' If ull the sporti thought alike there would
bo no mutches und no lights , and as a IICLOS-
snry uonscquonco no pugilistic fun. I have
already received tlirco conimunlc.illons from
South Omaha asking mo If I thought It was
unfa to bnuktho St. Louis uoy lo win. To
these I emphatically say that I am no
tipster , and I never advise a man
to bnt n dollar on anything. 1 merely
toll what I bellovo nnd glvo my
reasons lor the faith that is within me , leav
ing the rcsult'lo tlrao. Though I freely nd-
< . nilt that Kvnn is a rallling good man , 1 can-
* irot ilguto out why hU friends thlnit that ho
li going to have a nlcnio with Wllks. That
ho nor his backer * think so Is shown by their
dcluv and tholr extreme caution in making
the match. Though they pretended to hold
WllkO pretensions asallghtorln sovereign
contempt , they have been careful to pin him
down to the most stringent rules. Actions
apeak louder than wordi , and their uulnns
in tills cnso show Hint they logaid .lack as
the most dangerous fee Uyan has jot faced ,
excepting Danny Nocclhutn. After beating
the laUcr In along , hard ll htnt Minneapolis ,
Uyan unquestionably llunkcd In their last
meeting at Now Orleans. Ho did
not date go In the light , as inevitable defeat
stared liltn in the faco. Ills tonsilllis story
was a fake , pure nnd simple. That VVilks
proves n worthy fee , however , for the Cti-
capo mnn depends entirely on himself. There
is ono tiling ho can depend on , and that is
thut Uyan will leave no stone unturned to
gel himself into the very best condition. It
is to be llcht to a llnlsli. nnil whnn the men
once enter the ring there will bo no leaving
It until ono or the other Is victor or victim.
Hynn will bo well nnd lit ns it Is in the
power of men to muko him so , nnd Jack owes
it to himself nnd his generous oackors that
> ha is equally \voll. His late draw with
Cbnrloy Klmmia at Minneapolis proves that
he is a hotter man than commonly supposed.
Hi * showing \\ns so excellent that thn mateh
in question grow out of it. Kiimnic Is a
hard citizen , and good judges ranked mm
with tbo best in the lana. Wllks virtually
won the battle , but a partisan referee inndo
it a draw.

special fcnturo of this mooting will bo the
mixed races trotting , pacing and running
which will afford sport for all classes
of people. The Ullo track Is
one of the best In the United States

There Is no outdoor sport In ttio world as
pure as base ball. It is above suspicion.
Not si n co IbTO , when Dovlln , Cruvor , Hall

doubt about the honesty of the game It wns
dispelled In IbOU. Had there been the sllpht-
cst crookedness it would have leaked oat
durlne the Brotherhood war , when players
nnd magnates wore arrayed against each
other In the bitterest kind of a struggle for
existence. Then was the titno all the secrets ,
If there wore any , would have como to the
surface. There Is no orgnnbed betting on
base ball. There nro no pool rooms that
make a specialty of taking bets on tbo games
llko there are In horse racing. The manage
ment of the clubs have no pool privileges to
soil.
Tlininy.C'ollnpj'n ruinous Stlrk.
When Jimmy Collopv came here from
Holyoke this spring ho brought with him a
little old , tlmo worn , greasy bat that bo-
lodged to Tim Murnnn nearly twenty years
ago. In the hands of any man , no difference
how Inferior ho might bo , It was good for at
least ono hit a gntne , and Jimmy thought
moro of It than ho did ot pav day , which Is
saying a good deal for a ball player. The
boys opened up with this stick In the open-
lug championship game with ! jt. Paul and
ILoy got fourlocn hits and won the game 13
to 1. Kvory man on the team fell in love
With the Murnnn bat , and would use no
other. It wai looked upon as possess
ing some weird enchantment and
was guaracd with a Jealous ovo.
Their wrath can bo Imagined , when , on the
close of the tlrst Toledo game , April 17 , this
precious bit of ash turned up missing , A
thorough search about thu grounds , the club
house and Ibo visitors' dressing room , foiled
to unoartb this pilzo , and Callopy's heart
was all out broken , Even the Tolodos bat
baps were separately Inspected , nnd tbon It
was given up us cone for good. Ifrom that
very game the Uustlori look a tumble In
their stick work , and but Indifferent success
was attained until the return ot the Black
Vlratos ono week ago Saturday. No sooner
had their bat bags bceu cintiUod on the
ground , than ( Jallopy , still cherish
ing the memory of the stick Tim
Murnan use to wield , and never hav
ing rid himself ot tbo uspiclon
that ono of the nautical robbers from the
Maumoo's shores bud been Instrumental in
its miraculous disappearance , uns bonding *
over carafullv Inspecting them. Sudduntlv
ho made a wild dive nmonit the ptU < of sticks
and with u vvhoou snatched up a bat , which
had been disguised by ncouplo of bands of
red paint. But there uns no duuolvlng
Collopy's keen orbs It was the Murnnn
heirloom. Thu boys wcto all delighted at the
restoration of tUc stick , und they Individ
ually fondled It , looked it. over and swung It
at imaginary curves , until Undo had to call
them down.
Then tbo game began.
.Every man used the Murnan bat ana every
man gota hU and some of them two and
throo. Thov piled UD 15 In all nnd
won the game U to 4. The next day the
charmed stick again got in Its work , the
Hustlers making fouttoen hits and winning
agam 11 to 5 , and on tbo third day it
laced out ton bits nnd the third game was
ours 1 to 4. But Iu the last inning towering
misfortune overwhelmed tbo Hustlers. In it
laudable effort to smash Dad ClurKo out of
the lot Bob Glllis broke the Mumiin stick ,
nnd the victory won was wholly Insuftlelent
to assungo the lomn's grief over this Irre
parable loss. Such Is the superstition ot the
ball player.
That evening , however. Uncle got in a now
Installment ot bats which he had had
specially loaded with slnclos , doubles ,
tilplos ana an occasional homo run , as the
loam's ' work with Coiumbus indubitably at
tested.

Nona of the wise men of the world have
over evolved a plan that will make winners
out of every club in a base ball circuit.
All the millennium Ideas grouped in Utopian
splendor cannot do that. When those
wonderful Colonels captured for Louls-
vlllo the booby prize In 1830 , los
ing 111 game * and winning but
twenty-eight , enthusiasts tnoucht a
record had been made that would survive the
ravages of tlmo and bo as everlasting as the
hills. The idna of a club that could losnmoro
games than that seemed inciodlblo a ilg-
rnont of a shattered mind. Still , within the
next twelvemonth that celebrated regiment
of nomads known as Jay Palmer O'Neill's '
Folly company of Pittsburjr , had succeeded In
dropping just 114 games , while but twenty-
throe victories were credited to them. Bad as
those records are , there are two clubs that
have started in this year as if determined
to talii from Plttsburg its unique distinc
tion.
There wore a dreary lot of defeats to con
template before either Buffalo or Indian
apolis had won a slnglo battle. Bisons and
HLOsiors had been tumbled In the dust so
oftoji that the beauties of the mtlcnnium
were to them a snare nnd a hollow delusion.
The fruit that scorned so luscious was bitter
to the taste. Out of the le'sson comes the
fact that in a game which embodies so much
of the clement of luck il is simply an Im
possibility to sort out your talent and expect
all teams to bo evenly matched. No clan of
mortal will provide for the misfortunes that
Ho in ambush. Tbo mlllonlum cannot act as
a panacea for charloyhorso. lama arms and
stiff Joints. But these in the circuits
_ with loams that 'have been losing can
'
'thank their stars that tbe millcn-
ium plan was adopted , Tbe Western
league , tried by flood , would have suc
cumbed ore. this had the old era of extrava
gance boon on. Their losses , made possible
by the continued wet weather , have oeon
kept down to tbo minimum by that Idea the
best for tbe guidance ot the minor leaguers
over devised. The Western is living up to
Its provisions honestly , but there Is every
reason to bellovo that nearly every olub In
the Eastern association bos violated the
salarv limit clause.

Tbo past week there passed through

Whisperings of the Wlircl.
The Omaha Wheel club pedaled out to
Halcyon Heights Sunday morning and to
Florence in the nttornoon.
Four championships nnd two handicap
ovnnts will bo embodied In the program nt
Hastings the 4th of next month ,
Nubrasku division ought to have n few
league botch , lust to bo "in it , " Our hustling
chief council ought not to overlook this fact.
Uaclng mon will do well to procure n copy
of Ibo 1S1U Loacuo of American racing rules ,
ns there tire several points which they should
look up nnd remember.
The outfi ; Men's Christian association
cyclers in lurgo numbers wore over to Lake
Manawn Thursday evening nnd enjoyed a
dollgntful dtp In iho waters of the lake ,
Out of thtrtcon lady touchers at the Hartman -
man school nlno of tnem are export cyclists.
Tbo "young Idea Is taught to shoot moro
vigorously'1 at this temple of learning on ac
count thereof.
The Ladles' Cycling club to the number of
fifteen pedaled ever to Council Bluffs nnd
Fairmont park ono cvonlng of lust week ,
'Phiis the first lonir run the ; club has mado.
Each folr cyclist reports "n lovely time. "
The Omaha Wheel club hold another enjoyable -
joyablo social at their club house on Chicago
street Wednesday evening , whcro music and
refreshments were ultoi nntely served. Several -
oral members of the Tuxedo company were
present. A pleasant run was called to Fort
Omaha and quito u string of thu club mem
bers und invited gunsts pedaled out , return
ing to the club house by moonlight.
The "rontini ; " business grows each season
am' , our local dealers ought to keep up with
ttio times and have on hand a stock of wheels
for "rontlnir1" parnoses. There are mnuv
people who either do not euro to buy a wbool
outright or have no place to keep one who
would tnko advantage of the ' 'rental wheel
system" and many u dollar would stay Into
the dealer's ' pockets that now never comes
his way. Many of the people who rent
wheels In the course of time purchase wheels
and thus the "system" serves u two-fold
purpose. Our dealers do rent wheels , but na
their stock In this direction is limited they
cannot begin to supply the demand.
Tbo Tourists spunt the greater part ot the
day nt Crcscnt City , la. , they report the
foads in fair condition. On the way home
tha club fell in with one of these gentlemen
of porclnl proclivltus who nro the bane of the
cyclluts' life. The road would not permit of
tiding nround him and ho would not drlvo
out his team to lot tbo club by , so mlle after
mile wns ridden along in tha dust behind bis
hogshlp's wa ori. At length the "road hog"
cither bccaino ashamed of himself or
tired of the "sport" and pnllodtoonosido thus
letting the club proceed. .iSevcial little acci
dents marred the pleasant/rum Captain Potter -
tor wns run down bv n wntron ; and his wheel
was slightly buckled in the Berlin mage.
Frank Wnllnco went into the ditch aud
peeled several inches of onnmcl off bis wheel
as well as his faco. i , , f
Hilly Schnoll mourns , .tho loss of his
"mascot" wheel which
, somuithiovlnij scamp
took a fancy to while Mr. Schnoll was nt
work In the Young Man's-.Chr.istlan associa
tion "gym" . 'Iho wheel wns purloined from
the hall of tbo building , whcro It had been
loft by the owner.
A rownrd of $23 nwnits anyone who will
rot urn the wheel or glvo informntion that
ill lead to Its recovery. , The wheel Is un-
llk any scon In Ihesn parts , ns it Is a full
racer , weighs twonty-threo. pounds , Is full
nickel plated except forks and head , which
nro onumeled iu lavender ; has the Now York
Belting and Packing company's pneumatic
tires , diamond frame , yory llirht , nnd is with
out mud guards or coasters ; has rat trap
pedals and cbaln on loft band side. Tbis
makes n round half dozen wheels which have
boon stolen of late and no effort seems to DO
made to bring the thlovos to justice. Wheels
are valuable articles , and it Is a criminal of-
IcnBO to stoul one. If an example was made of
some of these pilfering gentry the commu
nity at largo would feel sutlsQcd tbnt the
Keen eyed lynxes of the law were doing their
duly. The aggregate value of the wheels
which bnvo been stolen would bo In the neigh
borhood of $1,000 or so. Boys , keep your
wheels looked up when you go away or leave
them.
