LONDONEIIS COMING ACROSS.
Tin1 greit meeting of the London Athletic
nssoc.ntiiin and New York At'iletlc club
tennis nt Travers Island In September Is
much more definitely arranged , nnd will be
the most Important track and field competi
tion evrr held. For It will be Englau 1 and
America not the two clubs , ns the I ondon
organization has already shown Its Intention
of picking the champions of the United
Kingdom and enrolling them In club member
ship for this trip to America.
The Ni w York club Is entitled to n like
privilege , l > ut Its searching will not be very
extensive. Already the flower of the college
ntliletlc world Is enrolled under the vvlnged-
foot banner , nnd the New York Athletic club
team of last year was HIP greatest collection
of uthlelic stars ever brought together in this
count i y
All arrangements have been made for this
meeting at Travers Island on September "S
and the Englishmen will bring over a tea-n
of nbout fifteen men This contest will be
njinost as Intercollegiate In character ns the
strucgle earlier In the summer , for the
majority of the cracks on both teams will be
college and university champions.
COLLEGE IIASK BALL.
The leading college base ball teams Yale
Harvard , Pennsylvania and 1'rlnceton have
recently got out of doors for practice. Yale
anil 1'rlneeton have refused to play Pennsyl
vania , which will spoil tni > season's hport
Bomcwhat , but the season's sport In the
line vsill be greater and more intense than
any previous ji > ar Yale , w.th Tred Kustln
an Omaha boy , ns captain , has the call foi
the pennant Harvard will have a bcttei
team than last year , and Prlnc'ton ever
better than Harvard , on paper at least , am
still not as fast as Yale. Pennsylvania al
ways has'a formidable- team , nnd th's ' ycai
wil ! be no exception Columbia Ins a un1-
\ersity nine In the field with more promls <
of success than for several years past. Cor
nell hopes to do great things with Asi Prtesl
back In the pitcher's box and a splendli
team of veterans. Drown always pushes
the leaders hard , and his a bright outlook.
THE WHIHLING WHEEL.
U Is < iulte l.kely that in collegiate circle
there will be a separation of bicycling race :
from the track : athletics , and they will bi
run separately.
During the season cracks like Zimmer
man. Titus. Johnson. Cabanno. Zlegler. San
Her and Tyler will receive handsom salarle
from wheel companies , and st'll be-classed a
"semi-amateurs. " Johnson will be the sta
of the coming season , if Zimmerman goes ti
Franco or Australia , as ho now talks o
doing There will be a tremendous racltij
season among the class A men , us cyclini
was never so popular , but the spring crop o
"phenoms" is always a big one. and It vvouh
be hard to say who's what before the na
tloual meet of the League of Americai
Wheelmen at Ashbury Park.
WHEHE THE SCOTS SUING.
Although we know but little nbout thl
favonte Scottish pastime , there Is no mis
take that interest In It Is developing rapidly
especially In the east. A large number o
golC courses have been laid out th's ' uprin
and professional players are swarming ucroi
the water by the dozens. The Essex Count ty
club of Massachusetts has laid out 140,00
on its golf course and house recently. Th
national chainp.onship will be plated at New
port , and It will be far more Important Aan
that of last season , as some of the be ist
players In Scotland have conio over to see
fame and fortune. The splendid golf hoiis
of the Newport club will b : finished th Us !
Uswt
leason and ready for occupancy , at a cot
of { 40.000.
BEHIND THE NETS.
In tennis there will be a decided renew
of life. Wrenn , the American champion , mage
go abroad this spring and play In som
Engllih tournaments , taking In the Englls
championship at WltnbleJon. "Eddie" all
went abroad some time ago , and will play I
England fir part of the summer season
If Wrenn crosses he will return In ne
for the American championship In at
Qoodbody. the English player , had such
pleasant tlmo here last summer , and cam
out so well In play , tliat he wants to com
buck thl ! summer and bring * team of ling1 1

AMERICAN HORSES AliltOAD.
The horses of Dwver and Croker now In
England ure bring wattlind with exceeding
ni'xlety. So far they have held their own
Irly well , but the actual tests conn ? this
onth.

That the approaching > achtlng season U

or doubt It will be the greatest In the

For the ilrst tlmo In the history of Amerl-
-iii yachting It Is seriously ptoposed to de-
end the America's cup with n keel boat ,
nd the old cpnterboard principle , which lias
Itherto char ictTlr-od every successful ile-
LMider of the cup , has been altogether aban-
oned In the- craft , which Is now being built
i > r the C. Oliver Iselln syndicate at Bristol ,
t I.
I.At
At th same time the > achtlng world Is
tendering over the exploits of the big nnd
peedy Ailsa , which has repeatedly beaten
he prince of Wales' Britannia In the races
bout Cannes , and to which many Engllsh-
ncn look with hope ns the boat to wrest the
\merica's cup from those who have held It
o long. Under the articles of agreement
8 they now stmd , It Is possible that the
\llsa may cross the ocean this year ns the
hallfiiger for the America's cup Instead of
'alkyrle HI , which Is now being built for
< ord Dunravon. In either event It is cortiln
hat the challenging boat will be n faster
, nd a more dangerous competitor than any
\merlcan yacht has yet encountered In the
-ontests for this fnmour trophy.
Next week this article will be supple-
mntiled wild a descrlpt'vo ' program of local
porting affairs , which will demonstrate
clearly that Omaha intends to maintain her
eputntloti as a manly sporting center.

OUR Uncle David
made an exhibition
of his long head
when ho went up to
Minneapolis the
other d n y and
'loiight O o o r g e
Darby's release of
Kansas City. The
Omaha manage
ment doesn't pos
sess a warehouse
full of col * but they loosened up to
the extent of several hundred for Darby's
lelease. Just how much they paid for him
is nobodj's business but their own. That h'
Is a member of the Omaha team Is all the
fans should care about. To demonstrate that
Uncle had his wits about him when he In
dulged iii the luxury of George's release , he
put him In the box ngalnst Peorln the very
day he got here last Thursdiy , and lib
didn't do a thing to the brawny Guzzlers
but come within an ace of shutting them
out. The web he wove across the phto was
too much for their meagre brains , and the
best they could do was to scratch out four
hits and two runs , vvlillu no less than olghl
of them struck out. George will bo in the
box against the Jax giants this afternoon ,
ami you don't want to mlsa seeing how the
old thing works.
The Wllcox and Draper Shoe house team
the colored champions of the west meet the
soldiers on the Fort Omaha grounds this
afternoon at 2 : ! 0 sharp. Manager Frank
Birkor Is swelled up so over the grand pros
pects for his Rembrnndts thai It Is hard lo
Ull him from Ed Wltlig Ha says Hie black
boys will rout the army this afternoon , foot
and dragoon. The Wllcox nnd Drapers will !
don their new uniforms this afternoon for the
llrst time , and 11 will go hard with them
if they lose Dorcas Lewis , the heavy hltt.ng
first ba eman , and Shoitstop Danger Talbot ,
have received offers from the famous Cuban
Giants. Mnniger Darker also has n formida
ble battery ! n Halle and Ford , and they are
extremely anxious to get a whack at Uncle
Dave's professionals or the University club
team.
Tomorrow afternoon the Omahas will open
up another series of three bittles with the
Rockford O. A. R.'s thi-ir last until June.
Undo Dave siys he has all three us good as
in his cake , but then some times Uncle Dave
, misses the mark , especially when shooting
off his mouth nt long range. Anyway , we
ought to have three games , as every crank
will bear me out We need 'em just now In
our business But will wo get them , that's
the question. We all know thai It Is not
the lol of poor humanity to get everything
, they ought to have. If that was the casa I
would bo In Vanderbilt's place today An !
then big Jantzen. the longest , thinnest and
honullest man In the world , took mo asldo
! hst nlghl and quietly whispered In my ear
thil ho didn't Ihlnk Omaha could beat a car
pet , and If we didn't look out Itockford would
- glvo us. ' a whole lot more or the same Jax
ara giving us. So you can Imagine when
Jautz has been smoking.
Hugh NIcol , who was on the turf when
Mid Anthony Wayne made his Invasion
against the ShawncLS In the northwest terri
tory , writes alieaJ thai he has U in for
Omaha , anJ calls on all the people to keep
: their eyes on the old soldiers. Just glance
over the array of talenl Little Nick has as
sembled about him , then go off , lay down and
pass away In euthanasia First comes Far
mer Joe Visner , who was known here in
Omaha vvh ° n the buffalo use ! to wallow in
: Jefferson park ; Ihen Guwie Alberls , who ls
90 years old If ho is a day. and Pabsl , Iho
big Milwaukee brewer , who Is simply playing
ball TJI his health , and who piys Hugh a
salarj fci tl'e privilege , then comes Snyde- ,
the man who wanted to buy a dog. Free
stone Kling. Waydown Jackson , Freddy Under-
wooJ , Flenrng. the sclssory grltUer , Inks
n1 others. Now don't fall to see them
when they are dressed up. They'll be here
tomorrow and the next day and the next.
Mr. Jim Warde Is as fair an umpire us
handles an indicator today , and if he had a I
- trifle more decision about him In dealing will
, recalcitrant players he would rank with the
of very best cf tlrm. It Is In the umpire' !
power to COT mand absolute respect , and Ir
his own protection ho should bring this-
fellows who want to talk back up standing
So far here his umpiring has been as nearlj
- perfect as possible , and It can't bo charg.i !
thit I am patting him on the back , fci
O null a has lost more games thin she hai
won. An umpire Is frequently roast d be
se cause he makes a mistake. The fans do no
seem to r'tnember that umpires only have oni
pair of eyes and that thezo are generally fol
lowing the bill.
\ \ The Omahas leave next Thursday mornlni
ay for their first eastern trip , and the boy an
all glad to get away. They hav ? not got dom

and think that frcni under the crltlc.il scru

V SplcudUt Mny Urnmlng Mooting n
Union I'nrk.
O ONE doubts bu
what there Is going
to bo a famous
ten days session
of the Jumpers nt
Union I'nrk next
week , a session thai
will thoroughly cn-
ohadow any previ
& ous meeting ever
_ 1 on either this
? 1 _ 'or the other side
of the river. The Indications all point to
this end.
The meeting U to be given under the aus
pices of the Council Blurts Jockey club , the
stamina and character of the official roster
of which Is alone sufficient to guarantee suc
cess. E. A. Wlckham Is president , George F.
Wright , secretary , and Charles Gregory
manager. They are gentlemen of standing
and business reputation , nnd will conduct
the ten days meeting on a strictly first
class basis. Besides these gentlemen , there
are a number of other prominent business
men Interested In the success of the enter
prise , and taking these facts Inlo consid
eration , along with the meritorious nnliire
of Ihe project , a big triumph should be
scored.
Omaha should manifest just as lively an
Interest In Ihese races ns Council Bluffs , as
Iho Interests of the two cities nre closely
allied , and us much benefit will accrue leone
ono ns Ihe other. They will bring a large
crowd of strangers here , and ns a consequence
quence , put considerable extra money Into
circulation It Is not the direct financial
benefit , however , that business men should
have In view , but what will redound through
the medium of the advertising both cities
will rcc-lvo nt the hands of this star event.
The railroads will all run half-fare rates
to and from the Bluffs , during the ten days
and from the liberal way the races are
being advertised throughout the surround
ing country , great crowds should bo In at
tendance and witness every lick of the
sport.
The Union park oours' is a celebrated
o : < e. although In latter > CUK It has not been
as , prominent as Its many superior morlta
and advantages should make It , but the
prospect Is good now for Its icvivincntloii
This mating will undoubtedly be the great-
ist running session ever held In this purt
of the country Already there Is a big
ield of thoroughbreds on hand , nnd within I
ho next ten dnys will see this
orco largely augmented. Some isf >
he best of all the gallopers In this western
country will be here , and ten days ol
plcndlcl excitement Is assured. With the '
Management that is already provided , the
lbral moneys hung up. the beiullful park
uid matchless track , big field of horses and
iharmlng summer weather , the largest out-
louring of people scon here- for years should
nark each days performances. In all first
class cities of th ? land the running mect'ng '
ire the society events of the fashionable sea
son The American Derby , at Washington
uric , Chicago. Is the means of assembling
the most brilliant throng of fashionable peo-
ile annually than any one other event In tin
country , nnd ihero Is no reason why tin

not bo In the sw m.

Many "scorch" along the city streets heed

Does It look us though the league was los
ing the wheelmen's confidence ?
In 1SS , " a mile inner three minutes was
considered a fair performance During the
next HVP years Hie fair mile was cut down
to 2 40 , and last jeir 2 30 was the mark.
Nowadays o\en a novice can on a fnlr day
with a good track ride In 2 30 , so this > ear
2 20 Is the mark and any rider who cannot
ride In that time or under , has no pretensions
to anything more than average speoJ.

. Pret'iiont Wllllson of the League thinks
that ptofcsslonal races , If run In connection
with amateur races and at amateur meets ,
can bo inado a success. The only cnnllllons
which the League places upon the promoter
, of race meets where professional races are to
bo run In connection with amateur events is
that the professional races bo tli last thing
on the program and that they bo run under
- League of American Wheelmen rules.

May 15 The Bee will begin publication of another
tale of adventure from the pen of A. CONAN DOYLE.
It tells how the Brigadier GERARD
Ir
ARD escaped from the old En
glish prison at Dartmoor , and
of many remarkable adven
tures which follow his escape ,
and which lead to a climax as r
pleasing as it is unexpected-
Dr. DOYLE considers these adventures -
ventures of BRIGADIER GERARD the best work of his life
so far , and our readers will agree with him. We shall
continue to publish the adven
tures of the dashing brigadier
throughout the summer ,
The story in question will bo
published in daily instalments
and will continue flvo days.
