In every branch or sport wo were the rnaters , and It Is safe to IY that never before In the history or modern I , othletclsm was there ( such an Interest manl , fest In physical prowess , ant I I , perfectly 1 consonant with this condition or things that all our strong and speedy boys ore looking forward with keen delight to the proposed re- vh'al ot the ancient OlympIan gamrs. This Is to be brought about at the international athletic congress which convenes hI Athens , Greece , next April. Athletes all over the elvllz'd world arc taking nn active Interest In the re-establishment of those thriliing . old-time sports , and there Is but little doubt that the entry list wi be an enormou one , and embrace the cream or nil the prominent athletic organizations on both silles the broody briny The New York Athletic club , whose smart young rbdlators made such playthings of the London club's athletic team ' a month ago , will uncoubtedly be the best represented alhlelc Institution from Ameri- i . ca's shores I now stands at the heal } or ali similar organizatons , both In this country anll ( abroad , and at the coming Olympian t ramlS will certainly endeavor to perpetuate Its supremacy. Tim club has promptly acknowledged - knowledged the receipt or an Invltalon tot t , tend ! representatives and has already begun to lay 19 plans for I grand campaign. I 10 believed that the club will Bend the strongest y team ever sent from this country to contest for othhUc honors. . and I sincerely hopes to carry off the main events , adding several T. , 10ro to Its already large collection or trophies. The New Yorkers do not tie things In a small manner , once they make up their : minds , amI I Is their IntenHon first to have their men contest at Athens then to arrange lverl spdal meetings In France and last ' hut not lea9t , to vIsit London , and give the London Athletic club cracks a chance to re- deem their lost laurels. The trip will take nearly hair a year , and Its expense wilt he enormous , but the opportunities for winning I glory will ho practically endless The home . club can well stand this expense , as It Is known to have a large surplus on hand from the recent international gamea . and , Independent - pendent ot that , It Is about the wealthiest athletic organization In the world. The 1er- I eury Foot has not as yet taken any steps In the maier ot organizing a representatIve team , but at least four ot Its members can b3 readily picked out , as beIng " 11mg" Jim 11tchel , Urn peerless Tommy Conner Mike 1. , Sweeney the high Jumping wonder and Tommy Lee anc - As all readers ot ancIent annals are aware , the Olympian games are recognized as the I earlIest and most celebrated In enlightened C history. They were held each Oyniplal , or fourth recurrent year , end were presided preset over . by ten Judges chosen from the tribes of- the Jleians. The contestants were required - quired to go through 1 course ot preparation ot ten successive months and faking and hlppodromlng were unheard ot quantities. Iii tact they were compelled to tale an oath ot the most binding nature that they would contest strictly upon their merits and use no I\ecepton \ In deciding the sacred events" Wrestling flayed a prominent part In these ancient games , JIma contestants' limbs being anointed with oil , which made them extremely - tremely supple and dlmcult to throw. Doxlng also , not a It Is now practiced through the medium ot an Indulgent press , was also a Prominent feature. but wIll be eliminated from the com'ng games. They will includa short and lon.g. lDtace running. _ jumping putting the welgll , tnrowlng dIsks , gymnastcs , fenc- Ing wrestling , rifle all revolver shooting . aquatic , yacht racing , swimmIng water polo , cyclIng , lawn tennis , cricket and foot ball. - The roast contained In the last issue or the Missouri Univoralty's paper on the Omaho management all omctals with reference - once to the recent toot bal game at UnIversity - "erslty panic , ts exceedingly chIldish. I states that tIme umpiring was wretchedly one-sided , that the referee btundered time and again and that time linesmen wee thor- olghly incomnpetont From these omclals It swiches to tIme management , which It charges with niggardliness and dishonesty , end closes with the followIng paragraph : " 'Ve consider ourselves mOst unjustly treated by the omclah , and the Omaha park managers. For the Nebraska boys we have only kind feelings : they played good ] , hard ball end are gentlemen. Above all we re- spect the Nebraska coach . Mr. Thomas. Lasty. the teem and Its management de- sire to express In public their gratitude for the timely all welcome assistance at n former Missourian , Major E. H.

" : The member ot the team who wrote the above should be ashamed ot himself , anti tim truth Is his allegations but alegatons are 0 wal ot dlsappotntment. Pop B1s , himself , told mo after the game that It was n wonder- fully clean contest ami that his team had been fairly bealen.

Charlie Wison Is undoubtedly 0 good lan In the refereo'e position , and } heretofore vhs- lUng ! teams have had only encomiums for his vork As for the linesmen , Tom Parmelee ot I'ltlsmoulh and hilly l'lley ot this ciy , they are both gentlemen ant Incapable or any unfairness. And Missouri's charges against the management they are equally lalclous and without foundaUon. Each party hall 0 signed contract ant I was tul- fUell to the letter hy Mr. Abbott and his ossoclates. They were not obliged } to pay the hotel expenses at the Ilsolrl team It the Missouri team chose to spend 0 portion or the winter here and they very properly refused to do I. Ot curse they should have a geol wont for Major Crow < r , as he loaned them the coin to square 11' the little IncIdentals - dentals Incurred , The fact Is the MissourI team throbs like 0 big boil over theIr unexpected dereat.

There never was a prize tighter more stuck on himself than this fellow , ant he wouldn't exchange places with Grover Cleveland. I Corbel could turn over his mantle to Maher , there are many who think It would fall on worthy shoulders but I am not onE or them. I cannot tiring myself to believe that the Irish- man has oil the elementu or the stuff In him out ot which champions are mnde. That he deliberately "quit" when yet strong on hIs pins In his fight wIth Plzslmmons Is some thing that cnnnot be explaIned away , forgotten - gotten or torgl\"en. Agaims he was an easy mark for Joe Goddard at Coney Island two , years ago. That he Is a bettor man than hs was then Is patent to all , and while I think he can whip mot ' any ot the he\- weigh . Including I.anly Uob , now before the public . I do not think he Is quite the thing for the American cliamplonshsip This mny sound somewhat anomalous , still I goes just tbe same. There will be a field trial near Dakers- fell , Cal. , Thanksgiving lay , that will In- terest all dog men. I Is a match on Call- torla quail . between Hypole Deers' English form , but the flight ot the other big ducks , notably the canvasback and the redhead , was extremely limited : not to such an extent - tent , however , as to render the season conspicuous - spicuous from others , bccaur It Is a well establIshed fact that these birds seldom stop over hero Ir any very considerable numbers In their fall flight. The spring time Is time season for tIme canvasback and his rival , the redhead ; at any rate for these mld-coun- try waters. Everything taken Into con sideratlon . however , thl season has been one or unusual profit and enjoyment , and ho I would be a churlish sportsman . Indeed , who could flail grounds for complaint. The full flight ot geese has been nothing to excite ethudlcsm , althJgh : the conditions . with ' the exception ot water , were just as gcod os they were for the ducks , and this leads to the opinion that the days or great goose shooting for this section ot the country - try are rapidly on the wane , and but I few rears more will be required to make a shot at an old honker an event l a day's out Ing.

A cursory review ot the season shows It to have ben u rather good one In spite ot the lack at water , that Is In certain localities. Roundabout Ills Immediate vlcn- Ity say within a radius at one hundred i miles , time shoo.Ung has ben capital ever since the middle ot SoPtember. On the mora famous ducking grounds In the dIstant sand- lull country , however . there ha been poorer sllort than has been known In 0 decade. This Is accounted for solely oj..ground or an absence at water. Many ot the lakes , once the most fevered In all the region were lit- eraly dried up , and others so low that the fastidIous birds refuad to halt even for the briefest reBt. With more water the season would hove certainly been an unprecedented one , as such on abundance ot teed waS never known on the lakes and streams and rivers and marshes ot this and the surrounding states There were but few huntIng parties , however , that macdo excursions to any ot the well known shooting grounds near here who Nmo back ' empty handed and the \rlet tyro In the sport Was enabled to knock over his ten or a dozen ducks a day . As was predIcted , owing to the plentfulneS of feed . and other favorable cotmdltions . the ducks came In un commonly early the first Issue or mallards , widgeon , pintail and red hod coming down from the north 01 early u the 25th at Sep- tenmber while the teal were dls. porting themselves end waxing tat on the reedy shallows even I early . two weeks previous to that date \ Per teal both blue and green wing a better season was never known that Is close about Omaha and aU through the month ot Ocl- , I ber they were slain by the barrel at Whit- lag , 'aubuneey .

In the spring thl geese are more plentiful . b'lt nol hal 50 desIrable for the ftblc. The jack snipe shooting baa been spas- medic , . anti at no lmo more than "laIr to mlddlin' . . For a few days there was pretty god shooting on tlO lowlands eat oC MIs- fourl Valley . anti for a week or more at Pereh'al and ugelow I was grot , But these were only Isolated cases , for on the majority ot the best local grounds the birds were never plentiful , a scarcity oC moisture being the only explanation to otter for their absence. Of the sandpiper family , front the July visit ot the uplond plover down to the first real cold snap , there was any abunilarmce . and I was no trick at all to go forth amid } return wih a good kill ot gohlenbacks , the greater all lesser ) "rlo\lcgs , or any or the smaller ' varieties or thee delicate morceaux. I rom this on to the freeze'up portsmen must bo content with an occasional foray through the stubble for quail or a ramble through time brown woods for squirrels , for there Is Ito further chance for shooting on the laltes or In the marshes until the tempered - pored winds or March agalmi loosen their icy totters , and again start the birds for their ) northern feeding grounds.

Altogether everything hooks exceedingly - ceedingly auspicious for a tremendous crowd and a memorable day's excHem nt. The result of the recent big root hal genies furnishes 0 most interesting problem for contemplation for those concerned In the development - velopment at this great sport I Is apparent to even the casual observer that the time Is tme rapidly approaching when the supremacy at the Plomlnent unIversites will be Be- rlously disputed by the hItherto minor col- lego teams. Nehraska , Missouri , Kansas , Iowa and Michigan all have crckajack : elevens anti I they maintain their present pace Iher Is no telling what they may ac- complsh when IJltcd against the premiers ot the cast.

The clr- . . - - - - - " - - - ± ' - - - ' : : - - cult next year will consist of Omaha , Sioux City , St. Joe , Des Moines , Peoria , Quincy , Cedar Haplds and Hockford. Burlington and Duhuque 10. , were dropped and the Lincoln , Neb. , franchise was transferred to Cedar Rapids. Burlington fought hard for the place , and there wore many who wIshed that city relalned. But the others mate such glowing promises , backed by guarantees , that they won. Manager Ebrlght of tIme pennant winning Lincoln team , had In the zmeantimo secured the transfer ot his franchise to Cedar Rapids , and Dubuque , after 0 strong protest iron Messrs. Skemp and . I.otus , had ben rejected - jected on tIme grounds ot delinquency and failure to keep its promises. Joseph Slemp showed how Dubuqll had done all that could donoI be justly asked , hut to no purpose.

But It engendered a bitter feeling and developed a fight on Flynn for the presidency - dency , a positIon to which he seemed likely ot slccesslon by acclamation . which lkely mately resulted In his defeat and the unt- ton ot Tom hhickoy formerly of Lincoln , now ot St. ,1o.

NEWCASTI.E , Wyo , Nov. 12.-To the Sporting Editor ot The Dee : Referring to my question unll your answer 10 same In Sunday Bee ot 10th , copy ot which 1 herein enclose , I probably did not make the ques- 'ues- ton clear to you , as from the answer It seems to me you did not fully understand the situation . Tle base runner returns and touches his base before the bal Is returned anc the base . I hav contended that as soon as 1 the base runner touches his base hI Is then released for having run on a fly band has 0 right to overrun the base and then re- turn without being declared . out , provided the baseman fall 10 touch him wIth the ball whim lie Is oft of base. This is a parallel case to tire following : Suppoao a base rumm- ncr on first base Is forced to vacate lila base by a hit being made by the batter. lie starts for second base amid reaches end toimcimes seconti base , before the ball Is held on that base by time imasemnan. Now time Instant the rummner touches second base , he is released from time force and Iii entitled to time base. Then if ho overruns time base , as ito lies a right to do , lie can return to hmis base witimout being put out , unless time baseman - man touches hint with the ball while imo Is off of itie base.
