Tfiut Isn't JacK's style , tlo Is a gen- tlrmanly and molest follow and only talks xhou ho hui something to nay. "Yes , I'm Kind. " ho said on being Infor.nod ot Krnn'n condition , "that Tommy is Retting in tl o best of fettle , for If I boat the man who is rated with the best in the world in tile class they can't corco buck with too old chestnut that ho wasn't lit. " "But uro you going to win , Jack ! " "Ask mo something easy , Sandy , and 1 rrny bs able to uu wer satisfactorily. IJut T cnn tell you ono thing that If I didn't ' expect to win 1 wouldn't bo throwinir uway $10 a diiy rusticating horoand tnko my cbuncus on IOM'IHK a couple ot thousand inoro. I expect to win , of COUIKP , and can't very well see bow nnvbody can tlguro out how Uyan has got any the best of me. I have whipped mon mill mndo draws with others whom Tommy wouldn't think of going ngiilnnt , no mutter what the persuasion might be. I wus never bigger , stronger , in bolter conditioner or more determined than I am today. D.ivis is putting * me through u coin-to I never underwent before , and I am Irco to acknowl edge that ho Is tbo most intelligent and sys- tematlo trainer I over had. Jack soys I can't lose , but tbo big fellow lt > over-zealous , rnnybo. " 'lhat Wilks is training thoroughly nnd In dustriously therols no room for doubt , and If ho perseveres , as bo assuredly will , ono week longer , ho will bo ai ( It as Judicious work can makuhlm by thoiiOth , when ho will bo Citllcd upon to defend his reputation nnd a goodly share of his worldly goods against tbo assaults of Tommy Ilyan before the Made City Athletic club. Wilks Is a vcritaolo monstrosity , built up lomowhnt on the Fitzslramons plan , when stripped for the ring. Ho possesses wonder ful comhativcncss , as may bo soon bv an examination of bis pugnacious bump. Ho Is tall and boney , with urms llko the equatorial q mid ruin rum , and an underpinning which , whllo unsymmetrical , Is well calculated to uphold bun through a long and serious trial. Ho has the typical neud , massive Jaws , largo cars set well back , nnd a bulging cerebellum that is chock full of llicht. That he is as resolute as ho Is game , ttioro Is no ctmnco for dispute. Ho is a bard , agcrosslvo lighter , ana never waits for his man to as sault him. Llltn all brulnv pugs , ho occu pies a portion of the initial round wholly on the dolcnslvo , but when once ho has felt his opponent , look out for lively work. Ho ( rocs in left and right , nnd oilhor gets It harder or soon has his man on his beam ends. Ho Is a tremendous hitter , not very clover , but cautious In his moda of warfare when evenly matched. His short arm jabs nro partic ularly dangerous. Ho inovrs slowly , to all npucnruncosin the ring , but iho man hcforo him generally 11 rids him amply speedy. Ho Is really a dcud bard fighter , and if Hyan beau him , ho will have well earned the tltlo of welterweight champion. Llko all modern migllUts , Wilks , under Jack Davib' directions , depends almost wholly upon pedostrlnnlsm to rcduco his ad- tposo and batter his wind. It Is for tbo lat ter otTcct Jack is now training especially , ns Iho umount of fut ordinarily clinging to his bones wouldn't create much of a furore In a ( at otock show , Whlln not exactly n sprinter , Wllits Is both n treed runner and walker , and in tnolr pcdullsllu expeditions every morning nnd evening bo brings big Davis in pulling nnd blowing like a per poise. For this species of work the two men are using the river road , Which is very sandy , and what is generally termed "heavy going. " Davis sot the pate for the llrst week , us Wilks , In his heavy woolen sweaters and drawers , was not qulto as supple ns his Indurated trainer. Ho soon bccun to live on these runs , however , and whenever Davis gets In the load now. It is only by a spurt of the most extraordinary It I nil. Even these runs , in this torrid weather , do not seem to bo very trying on Jack , and Instead of modifying , he has In creased them , minus nls heaviest kablla- n'Out.H. ' Ho is already under weight , and is devoting his whole uiuo to wind and ondur- aticoitucilc * . Of courpo , after each of ILeso vilgrlmtgos up the roud , bo Is bathed and thoroughly rubbed down. Davis is a firm be liever lu the massage troutrrout , nnd Wilks getk its full bencllt , both night and morning , at the hands of big Jack and his two assist ants. This hand-ruUblng , patting and kneod- Ing Is BIIrely the best hardening process Known to physlculiuro. Wilks can stand a wonderful amount of ihls , notwithstanding bis attcnuatoii frame , and aftcc every bath , ho gets a lively dose of It. Some times Ills helpers quit limp ns.dUhrngs from iho fctrcngth and energy they have lavished upon him. him.He He varies his bag punching with bouts with Davis nnd.Cameron , u young Philadel phia trainer , who Is working with Duvts.und who Is very clever himself. I3ug punching Ismerely to make n man quick , alert and ef fective. ' In delivery. Wilks llko Kyoto is an udrpl at this work , nnd when ho sticks his bonuyinontgomcry against tbo leather , it shoots up pgalnst the ceiling ns If hurled thorn by u thunderbolt. The man don't , live who can rccnlvo and btnnd up uuder many blows from Wilks' right. "If he gotb ono nf those In on Rvun's front- UIHCCO or neck , " remarked Davis to mo , ns Jack sent tbo pouch crashing against the panels with tlio force of n mulo's Uool , "I'll turn my bend b fore ho lands the next one , ' tor \ have no wish to sco the Uhicagouu go through the wulll" And \VllliH smiled nt bin big trainer's en thusiasm. The skipping rope Is anotbor contrivance of hitler athletlu training , and as In Kvan's case , Wilks resorts considerably to it. Wbilo not nearly the artist at this performance that Tommy IH , Jnck Is very clover. It has been proven by scluutiflo research that ropo- kipping is greatly instrumental In strength ening the nuncios of iho stomach , and gives an elasticity to the pectorals obtained t > y no other process. It U nUn a wind-helper , and bring * all iho braces of IOSH , arm ) and body to a ( julck tension and relaxation , AH I rcmarKod in my article nn Kyai : Inst \\cck , thcro Is a vnst dlffetcnco in the , mcthcd ot trulniiiB n man far a light today ficm that In IUD twenty years ago. I was with Aaron Joints at hU training quar ters at llubcnboolt Btutlon , Ohio , when ho was preparing to meet Mlko McCool fully that long ago , and cannot but help t'o in pa ro mentally the two pro cesses. Tbo possibly undue importance at tached to athletic prowess today Is doubtless thoiostillof u reaction aenlnst the almost romploto nbaonco of improved means of bodily training and oxorclso ot tbut decade. Today iho training pugilist Indulges in the most ap proved and sclentlllu modes of exercise that tund to klrcnicihen the limbs and render Iho movoincmlH of the body easy and graceful mid at thosamo tlmo to keep the brain bright nud active , the muscles bnrd and strong and the hum lu the right placo. WilkK Is most scrupulous in his dlot , and wnlio bo does unt religiously ochow all fallen- Inc substances , for ho can stand considerable of them nt ull tlmo , ho ccntliies blintolf largely to iho foods calculated In strengthen ing the stomach utono. enhancing at the inmo tlmo the lung power and the force and keenness ot his visual or guts Ho tbstalus entirely from malts and spirits of jl > kluu , and Ibo sight of a pipe , dh'ur or ctasroUe world throw him Into n duck ( It. Ho has no U30 for tobacco or liquor , except for swathing purposes whllo In training. In conclusion , I will say for the bcnoflt of Jack's Inrgn following of friend * and admirers , that hols bclngctmsclonttously and competently prepared for his ureot knuckle dobulo with Tom Hyan next Saturday evenIng - Ing , and If them Is anything in absolute per fect condition , Ho will bo ( It to contest for the maintenance of all tbo faith them Is within thorn. Ho Icoks a dangerous man and will make a great light. Jnck Wilka was born of American parents nt Kviinsvllle , Ind. , In the > onr 1S05. Ho is an ntblolo nnd pugilist from early training , and hn.s n record as good ns lha best of them. Among his many notable encounters , stranga ns It may appear , ho has had no loss than eleven draws , ovcry ono of them , uowcvor , with mon known In pugilistic circles throughout the country , In iho tnijority of tlieso ho was badly handicapped by eiltirr hclght\voight or reachnnd , ns a conscqucnco , the showing Is most remarkable. Hero are his drawn battles : With Jarit Hurk , the Irish lad. tbreo rounds ; Mlko Cloary , four rounds ; Oeorpo Ln ninncho , iho Muiluc , four round * ; Lctn McGregor , the St. Joe kid , tour rounds ; Thomas Conloy of England , four rounds ; Chnrluy Daly , three rounds ; Johnny Duly , six rounds ; Phil McIIugh ol Cincinnati , six rounds ; Jnck Uolnn of Cincinnati , six rounds ; Jltnmlo Edwards , six rounds ; nnd Charles Klmmlc , ten tound. . Ills victories nra overJImrny Lindsay , In .six rounds on ufoul : Charley Allen , three rounds ; Hilly Layton , snvuri rounds ; Chnrloy Slubher.six rounds ; Hairy Oilmoro , two rounds ; Gcorgo Holla , two rounds ; and Alf Bennett , a hetvyu eight , seven rounds , The Di'nti-uctlM ! Club Hunt , The Omaha gun club will revert to the old pernicious custom of n general club hunt this full. Captains will bo appointed and the two teams selected at the club's September moot ing , and the date of the hunt llxod for some tlmo In October. Whllo these competitions engender a great deal of rivalry , and nro con ducive of much sport , they aio to ho depre cated by all sportsmen having the preserva tion of our game birds at heart. 1-cut bored gatno of alt kinds , oven including the prollllo wild fowl , ts being diminished at a rapid rate , and ore long game preserves will bo tno legitimate gunner's only bopo of.a lltllo sport allcld. Pot-hunters and club hunts uro in struments of destruction only , nnd should both bedlscountcnanccd by tholoyal moinocrs of the craft. Tlio incontlvo to go forth in quest of a Dag of game , whose only merit is its magnlludc. Is ono Unit should bo studious ly frowned dcwn , and tbut Is the only In ducement fur a olub hunt. * Euch member of the team strives 10 outstrip nil competi tors , and In his work of devastation ho over looks uothlng that wears feathers or hair that can bo insinuated into the game calMoguo. The meadow lark , robin , snowbird , dicker and dove are popped over with as much zeal as iho chicken , quail , goose or duck. Each bird is graduated , lhat is , counts so many points according to Us merits as ? nmo , and the Insatiate hunter Improves cvciv shot of fered. When the bunt is over Ui < > bags are turned in at headquarters , the score counted and recorded and Ibo game given or thrown away that is the bulk of It , Every consci entious sportsman will eschew the club hunt. The OctnlHir llencU Show. The Omaha Kennel club ts working quietly and systematically in the interests of its contemplated October bench show , and its complolo success Is already assured. It will bo tbo llrst and only bench show Omaha ever had. Too catchpenny snaps which have hitherto boon palmed off on Iho pcoplo hereunder under the tltlo of bench shows were nothing moro nor loss than exhibitions given by a shyster who know just about as much about dogs as ho did about anything else. The bench to bo given under the ausplcos of the kennel club will bo governed by the rules of the American Kennel club , with nil the requirements strlctlv lived up to. nnd will allord the lovers of the thorouehbrcd dog in this part of the west such u feast as ho has never deen cccustnmcd to. Mr. John Davidson's services have boon secured to do thn judging for the occasion. This Is a good selection by the club , us Mr. Davidson has a national reputation for bou- nsly and ability in dog mittcrs. Ho judged at ! ow York , Chlcuiro , Uostoii.-Pnllaaelphla. and at several other shows during the year , nnd was highly commended In the dog jour nals of the country for his knowledge of tbo correct typo of all classes and bis indefatiga ble assistance to bunch shnw commlttoos. ( tire ? scl > riMlci ! Dog * u Hun. A number of well known local dog owners nnd sportsmen w ll agitate In another season , the feasibility of a Nebraska field trial , and it is reasonable to oxpuct a success in the undertaking. Tbcic urosovorul notable ken- nrls In the state , nnd tbo interest in high- class Hold dogs Is spreading nnd increasing every day. Already Nebraska can boast of us many nnd as good n lot of thoroughbred bird dogs as any of the western states , and has the host possible natural facilities for nn effective field trial. As for judges , there is no necessity of depending on high priced pro fessionals from Ibo oast. Thcro are plenty of men In the state qualified to pass judg ment on any dog at any run. Nebraska cer tainly has the grounds , superior in cverv do- tall to any of Iho bl " eastern or soutborn trials , and ns long ns "tboro is such a conoral awakening of doc interests , let us have the bust and tbo latest. The Nebraska Hold trials in a year or so should bo worthy of national attention. This Is a proposition , re spectfully submitted to the consideration of the Kenuel club. Tlio Chicken Outlook. Whllo the outlook for Bob White Is qulto promising this fall , according to report , that for 'chiclton Is just the rovorso. Many of the grounds that have In times past boon considered par-excellent are almost de populated of birds this summer , and there is no njsurnnco of good shooting in any section of the Rtato. The prolonged inclement spell , which extended entirely through Iho months of April and May and well into Juno , sot lha birds back fully four wcoks , and In many regions entirely precluded the possibility of successful nidlilca- uon. This condition , associated with the fact that tha scoundrelly market hunter has already opened up in bis unlawful work , renders iho honest hunter's chances for n llltlo sport this fall slim Indeed. Although I havon't hoard of any young eblcKons bolng shipped in jot , it Is Ibo season for the hotels to boifin servini : their guests with "plover" nnd "plecon. " This is n matter that merits Iho attention of the gun clubs. A lllllo wholcsomo prosecution would boar Incalcula ble results. jMoorii FoiTnlt * t flrlflln , Tbo Omaha friends of Dick Moore are dis appointed that his second meat with Patsy Grinin Is off. Tbuy were to have fought on an Island In the Mississippi boloivDnvon port , la.AugustOfor u slake of J'lOO asidebut tbo news Is that Dick has forfoltod to the big wrestler. Why this action no ono scorns to know , other ihun that Moore claims that tbo stakes were too small. Thcra Is noiblug in this. Uriftin , about Davenport and Burling ton , was a tremendous favorite , and the re port comes bora that the Moore end of u could have bad any kind of money tlioy do- sired.
