IT IS very reasonable to
expect that the Inter
collegiate association will
again thoroughly revise
the foot ball rules before
the opening of the cam-
pJBn | for 18D6. Anyway ,
It is quite certain the
present cods of rulss can
be very materially Im
proved. They are wretch
edly Incomplete and com
plicated , and are not calculated to Increase
the popularity of the game , Notwithstand
ing last season's play was uncommonly clean
and fair , It wai excccllngly rough , and
there wcro too many players Injured to suit
the requirements of a beneficial athletic
pastime. The play should bo made -still
more open to endear It to tbe general public
and this Is what will doubtless bo done.
Ancnt this subject I notice n bill was Intro
duced last Wednesday In tbo Massachusetts
legislature , which , If It passes , will make It
necessary for Judges to post themselves up
on the rules laid down for the guidance of
referees and umpire ? In most all athletic
sports. This proposed law provides that
"whoever uses violence to overcome skill In
any game or eport shall be fined or Im
prisoned. " So , lo bo ruled off the field for
violence , which moit always happens some
hot-headed and luckless player , \\ouUl-incan
a rldo in the "hurry-up wagon , " and to
slug or kick a fallen opponent would bo
equivalent to a sojourn behind the bars.
A study of the athletic season In England
for 1895 nlll show , notwithstanding affairs
over there were gotten Into a tangle by
these olllclous goody-goods In sport , who
always etlckle for absolute purity In 'the
ranks of the so-called amateurs , the record
Is one of the best they have ever expert *
oiced In all soils of pastimes. This Is ex
plained In a measure by the gicat number of
men who enter the field over there purely
for the sport and exorcise there Is In It , and
not for the almighty dollar , the greed for
which on this side counterbalances every
oilier consideration and Is consequently In
jurious to harmony and success.
Tha changes contemplated In the League
of American Wheelmen racing rules for 1890
are of much moment , the- most radical of
which will bo regarding claps D. This class
Is to b ? provided for In a way that will
put It In line with .professionalism more
than ever before. The riders will not be
permitted tq sll their prizes , but the le'ague
will furnish a means for their disposition.
This" b6dy will sell medals to the various
meet-promoters over Wie country and thirty
days after a medal has been won will re
deem It from the winner at 90 per cnt 'of
Its * accredited value. The limit for riders'
prize's In this class will be $100 , but wlfli this
now\arraugcment the winner would be.l . l > : t-
tcr off than should ho win a $150 diamond.
Class A prized ara reduced from , $50 to $35.
This class Is now the only strictly amateur
class In the league and Is the only one In
connection with which the word "amateur"
will hereafter bo used. The illrlance In which
class A men may compate away from their
lEgalvr.esdence-ls-lOO | , miles , ' except-nt toadoriav
or division championship uiM ? ; Class A and
class , . ! ! riders , may hereafter compete to
gether at division championships Instead of
being restricted ito national championships ,
as heretofore. ,
Sunday racing Is left to bo regulated by
the various divisions. , "What will be done In
Nebraska'm this' regard IB an uncertainty ,
but'as" yet Adhere has been no tendency heic
towardSunday racing. The granting of free
sanction's to league club ? has been abolished ,
and t/ne / fee for .national circuit meets has
bcdn Increased from $10 to $25. Any school
or club lidding races , entries to which are
limited , to Its members , must apply for a
sanction , but no fee will be charged. Class
D riders and professional riders are per
mitted , to pacci eJch othor. In rjcord trials ;
In fact , the tendency of the leagueIs to bring
class D and professionalism as near together
as possible. „ . ,
Dut to revert to foot ball again : Casper
Whitney , who writes exclusively In the In
terest of amateur eport for Harper's Weekly ,
charges that foot ball In divers portions of
the United States has degenerated Into com
petitions Between hired professionals. Mr.
Whitney , who , by the way , knows more
about foot ball than any writer In the coun
try , gives names anilda , tes and prices and he
knows what he Is talking about. 'Mr. Whit
ney comes weft with his charges.and there
U no doubt that ninny western 'varsities are
guilty , yet Mr , Whitney will not have to go
far from the Harper's office to find.'the tame
cond.ltlOn of affair ? . Ho Is rght | , however ,
all along the. line , ' I'rofcsslonalUnf In foot
ball should bo killed. It shuld not oven bo
allowed .to die a natural death. Coaches arc
professionals and western colleges should not
play them under any clrcunu-tances.
It looks now very much as If the Yalo-
Oxford-Cambrldge boat race would not
eventuate , but therp Is no good reason why
thopo crews shouldnot measure strength this
summer. Thu chances for International yacht
races this year ara emaciated Indeed , and If
the rollcglite oaainun would conclude to get
together they would monopolize the Interest
In both this country and England , The
late wnr pciro would certainly add a greater
Interest than over and Old Ell would have
a splendid opportunity to nuke her crow
famous. Wo all recall with humiliation
Cornell's egregious failure at Henley , but
thosa who Imvo watched the Yale oarsmen
know there would be no repetition of this
disappointment with the Now Haven crow
as their representative * .

A California paper ay : It Is gratifying
to note that James Gordon Dennett's first
year with trotters has been a success , it
will bg remembered that early In the year
the proprietor of the Now York Herald pur-
chaiej three high class trotters In Autrnln ,
Helen Loyburn and Grace Simmons , for rac
ing on the European , turf , The stable wes
extensively raced , and the matey not only
paid their way , but stowed luch good form
that Mr. Dennett could bave sold each at a
handsome profit. Autraln made a particu

The Sydney , Australia , Referee says that
John Stanbury of Sydney and the antipodean
champion sculler , and Wag Harding , the
Kngllfh crack , have nbout completed all ar
rangements for a world's championship rowIng -
Ing match for J2IJOO a slilc , to take place on
the Thames , London , next September. The
last race on the river referred to for the blue
ribbon of the nqnitlc world was between
Harry Searlc , the Australian , and William
O'Connor of Toronto. Iloth men Imvo since
died. Searlo wac the first to pass away , and
then O'Connor and Stanbury rowed for the
championship In Australia , the latter winning.
Stanbury c-ime to tlile country about three
year ? ago. Ho competed with Indifferent
success In a rowing carnival down Texas wny ,
and went luck home without engaging In an
nut-ami out match for the championship.
Hli objection to the American system of row
ing was that the races were rowed with a
turn , while ho lutl always been accustomoJ to
straightaway courrcti.
Jim Hall and Joe Chuynsld Blacked up a
pplcndlil scrap In their meeting Momliy
night , nctultlistamllni ; It was the general be
lief that the nffalr would end In a draw.
Thlo has been the result of about every nlno
out of ten of the matches mule and fought
In and about New York. There have been no
champions made or unmade Ihcro. To bo
wire , Oeorgo Dlxon suffered a brief eclipse
of fame at M.idlson square at the hands of
Hilly I'llmmep In a mild four-round sctto ,
and there have been a number of knockouts
at Coney Island. As a rule , however , theo
Ootluirt affairs are looked upon with sus
picion , and there was uvery reason In the
world for believing that Hall nnd Choynskl
were In It on an even wlnok. They were on
the square , however , and Clinyni'kl scored a
very creditable victory , which was to have
been expected , notwithstanding an effort was
made to make H.ill the favorite. As I have
often stated , figuring a fighter's form by
comparative analysis la very unsatisfactory
and often leads to false conclusions as to the
relative merits of men , and Ftlll It Is the
only means the talent has of Judging- men
they have never seen perform. If Tom beets
Jerry In live rounds and Mike beats Jerry
In three. It Is only natural to Infer that Mike
would belt Tom. alt things being equal. Hut
this deduction , I say , Is often erroneous. II
was just this sort of Inference that made
the wise guys lose their money on Sullivan ,
on Ooddard , and on Hall when he fought KHz
at New Orleans. Doth Hall nnd ClioynsM
fought Hob Fltzslmmons ! , Hall being knocked
out In four rounds and Choynskl making a
draw In five. Choynskl , however , was saved
from a certain knockout by ( ho Interference
of the police. Doth men fought Dan Crecdon ,
and both made draws , Hall In eight rounds
and Choyn&kl In six. So , Judging from their
fights with the same , men , there was but
little to base an opinion on , but Joe's gen
eral record Is much the best , and that ho
beat Hall , I think , occasioned no surprise
among those who follow the game for the
money there la In It.
Thorp arc a good many devotees of the
wheel who consider Zimmerman a very astute
young gentleman. They figure that his re
tirement from the racing -path conclusively
demonstrates this. There < are scores of fast
rarors In the United States today where there
was ono or two when Zlmmy used to sprinkle
them all so lavishly with his dust. It may
be- true that the tracks In the colonies arc
the worst on earth , and It also may be gospel
that Zimmerman has grown surfeited -with
the plaudits of the populace and yearns for
the sedative llfo of a merchant or shopman ,
but this does not prevent a whole lot of
people from thinking that the season of 1895
developed a number of racers whom Zlmmy
could not touch with a ten-foot pole.
It may not bo generally known , but Is still
a fact , that Azote , the big son of Whips , Is
being wintered at Lincoln , Neb. , and Is jog
ging along In his dally work In the most
encouraging and satisfactory manner. And
now that the eastern contingency has begun
to figure on the probable trotting champion
for 1896 , It Is pleasing to note that' many
are thus far In advance awarding the honor
to the "California plow horse , for It Is gen
erally believed that his record , 2:04 : % ; Is not
the best he has In the shop. Still. 'Azotel ; > as
bPen very lame 'onco since ho reeled ott'thls
mile , and good Judges of horse flesh are al
ways a bit chary about predicting additional
great things for the- kings and queens of the
turf after they have once gone wrong. There
are not a few who unreservedly declare their
belief that the bg ! fellow has gone Mis fastest
mile , and In lieu of beating It In another
season , that he will never again be able to
equal It. The championship record Is a full
second better. The most likely candidates
for the honor are , according to the judgment
of many , Deuzetta. 2:06 : % : Bouncer , 2:10'/i : ;
William Perm , 2:07 : , and Fantasy , . 2:00. :
That Deuzetta possesses record-breaking' '
speed there IB but little doubt. In her races
last year , as a 4-year-old , she could I'tep to
the half In 1:02 : any time she was called upon.
Douncer Is ono of the best every day per
formers In sight , and there may ho a. grand
surprise party In , her for the coming season.
Fantasy Is capable of a sensational mile , and
will be especially prepared to make It the
coming summer and Mr. Hamlln has faith
In lcr : ability to yet land the coveted title , alr
though t'ho disappointed him sorely last year.
William Penn gave evidences of speed last
year , which may bo nurtured Into the won
derful during the present twelvemonth , and
in wmo quarters there Is a strong hope ex
pressed that ho will bo able to relieve Allx
of the laurels. But with the woods full of.
2:10-ears : , It Is exceedingly presumptuous , it-
strikes mo , for any one to pick out at this
day therklng bee. of them-all for ' 9G ,
The Mexico fistic carnival Is now but a
little over two weeks away , < md while tUero
are rumors coming up from Kl Paso that the
affair may be flopped , the general opinion
Is that the mills will all bb'pulled off. The
railroads ara all busily engaged In a bid for
the. pporty patronage and It Is reason iblo to
believe that these great corporations fknow.
what they are about. Again , It Is 'not ' prob-
cble that Dan Stuart , the Dallas sport , after
dumping the small fortune ho did on the
Corbett-FItzslmmons fiasco , Is going to but {
his hold agalntt a stone wall a socorid time.
In a matter where a man stands to lose
150 000 It would seem that ho should como
pretty nearly holding a cinch , and If Stuart
docs not , ho mufct bo unanimously voted about
the biggest Jackass at largo. Contrary to
tho'aswrtlon that the affair could bo a falluro
In point of attendance , there IB every tokun
that thn crowd nt the rlngilde will bo an
enormous one. The southern"cltles'alone assure -
sure thli' , but Just now.thoro IB a general
preparation for an exodus lo the Mexican
border all1 along the line , from the Hub to
Krlsco. The pporty appetite has been
whetted to an edge and -It would bg. Just as
hard to refuse to kiss a pretty 'girt as It
would for the dead guinea to Ucep away
from El Paso next month. ' Another thng | that
makes the' success of the carnival certain is
the Importance It bears to the future welfare
of the game. It \\lll como pretty near
settling the question whether boxing Is to
receive n renewal of life or Is'to still further
decline. If I'etlo and ! Hobble and ( ho raft
of colored gladiator : * who are to do battle
there put up a first class article , and there Is
no Interference to mar the occasion , the
great pastlmu of lilt and get out of llio way
will certainly boom again , and thoto who
have bpen bewailing iho dccadcncci of the
pport will f ; cl that a second lease on life has
been granted them. nut , on the other hand.
It there Is any ( currying across the arid
wastes of cactus In front of > i squad of
greaser cavglrymon , If the fights have to be
pulled off In the dark , and turn out dnb
affairs at that , llion the dead game might as
well Ult-a their maullcs to mils and naked

MATEUIl base ball
will undoubtedly
flourish likea cedar
of Lebanon In
Omaha this year.
The absence of pro
fessional ball will
arouse young Amer
ica to a most en
thusiastic pitch and
amateur teams maybe
bo expected to
spring up all over
the city like mush
rooms In an un
dent orchard. The
Gcto City always has taken a very lively
nnd commendable Interest In amateur base
ball and this year she nlll have a chane
to fairly glut herself with this class of
Rpftrt. The University club team , so Manager
AbLott says , will be stronger than ever
before , as more time Is to bo devoted to
ploctlce , and a new cede of rules to go Into
effect. Their park will be greatly Improved
and .It Is quite likely many of the strong
\Vestern League teams will bo seen hero
during the summer.
In addition to the University team , Tom
McVlttlo Is also laying his plans for a
fast semi-professional aggregation and his
ono ambition will bo to subvert and over-
111 tow the champion Universities. Mac has
several players already engaged , but for
prudential reasons will not launch them on
the public until his team Is complete. He
Is now skirmishing for a ground , and with
three good sites available , It Is a certainty
that ho will bo all right on llila point.

AVITII THE LOV13IIS OF TIII3 FIELD.
Uriel Tri-ntlHr on Hie .Nomenclature
of till ? SiiortHiueii. -
S .Is well known the'
sportsmen's nonUm-
clature In regard to.
the grouse family Is
very deceptive and
unsatisfactory-
while I have been
frequently requested
to" look the malt r
, un and glve a/propor
classification ! of the family In The Sunday
Dee , I'flnd the task a more difficult one than
cne would linaglne.-.nnd-nm In doubt whether
my efforts will , prove adequate or .not ,
These birds , the-pinnated , pintail and ruffed
grouse- , however , come pretty nearly cov-
cinlng the question- but In different sections
of the country they are each known by differ
ent names , 1n which "pralrlo chicken , "
"pcrtrldeo" and "pheasant" largely pre
dominate , and while thy all belong to the
order of gallnao ) or pheasants , there are no
true pheasants or partridge In America , ex
cepting those that have been Introduced
from Euro'pean countries. Tle | ruffed grouse ,
Tetrao Umbellus , Is the pheasant of Pennsyl
vania , Virginia and Ohio , and the partrldgp
' '
'
of the e'as'tern states. In some of ' , tliesp'sec -
.tlorsi too , the common quail Is'califd part
ridge , notably In southern Ohio. The ruffed
giouso Is undoubtedly the king of the whole
Tctraonldae family , and Is quite well known
In most all parts of the country. Right hero
Hilt , bird la utmost unheard of. They did
exist In considerable numbers In Iowa at one
'time , I believe , and have been killed Infre
quently In times past In the thickets along
the .river bottoms In this state , where , as
strange as It may seem , they are called by
their proper name , ruffed grouse. Utterly
unlike their trim cousin , the pinnated grouse ,
'our ' "pralrlo chicken , " < hey thriveIn 'the
timber , and are seldom , If ever , found on the
open prairie or plains. Their favorite "habi
tat ls ou the woody.sheltered declivities of
Ilia hills and mountains and along the tangled
vine-covered shores of lonely streams. They
ari > bolltary fellows and not often found In
civics or bunches of.jnoro than five or six ,
but generally In pairs or singly.
The pinnated grouse , Tetrao Cupldo , as I
said before , Is our prairie chicken , a proper
name by reason of. Us general acceptability.
IJo Is a habitant of the open prairie , whoso
almost every feature and production fit hli
modeof life , and In no place In the world
lias he been found In greater numbers than
upon our own luxuriant plains and pralrlea.
They avoid timbered lands on account prin
cipally cf their flight , which U both
direct and labored , and Illy calculated
for the twists and turns and evolution
lution of wing that are required In
thicket and woods. The pinnated and pint
tall grouse are \ery similar In numerous de
tails and In many places are also appro
priately culled "chicken , " but here In Ne
braska they arc generally recognized And
called by the name of grouse. The pintail
may be a trifle larger than the pinnated , but
In markings of plumage and structure of
body Is almost Identical. The pintail has
but Insignificant neck tufts , while the tall
feathers graduate In length , the two centrals
projecting out from the others and from
which It derives ) Its numerous names , pin ,
tplko and sprig tall. Tha head la crested
but slightly , the legs are covered wltfi
hairy feathers down to and even between the
toes. Like the pintail , the pinnated has also
a crested head , and moit decisive neck tutu
of long and short feathers , the long onei
being velvety black. Beneath these tufts U
a sort of pouuh of sickly yellow akin which
the bird Inflate ! In hla amoroui demoastra-
U < m lu the spring. The lest , too , tre CQY-
with feathers , butjnot go liberally as
thoco of the pintail.
A sandhill * friend Informs mo that n. big
planting of wild rlco'lsetb be msde In the
manhtB north of Merrlman and Irwln this
spring , and desire * dlrtJotUns for putting In
the seed. . I fortunate- ! know something of
the manner In which this favorite duck food
Is planted , nnd most rtltllngly glvo the di
rections as I learned thrm > from old Captain
Whltehead of Liverpool ) ' 111. , twenty years
ago. Whltehead was th6 best known cluck
shot along the beautiful [ Illinois at the time
referred to , and had much experience In
wild rice planting. Hn was very successful ,
and some of the biggest wild rice- fields
which flourish today along the Dig raid Little
Yellow rivers form a monument to his en
ergy and perseverance In Its propagation ,
He always did his planting Into In the
spring and sowed the seed very thickly , nl-
wnyo choosing a marshy , mucky area , where
perpetual moisture was assured. Whitehead -
head preferred the Into spring for planting
on account of the nurturing effectives of the
following warm weather , and from the fact
that the main Issue of birds had passed on
over for thslr northern breeding ground ? .
It planted at all In the fall. It should be
done very late , after the birds have pretty
generally departed , nnd n freeze up Is Im
minent. It Is no easy trick to- raise a crop
of wild rice , nndhern ono man succeeds n
dozen fall. In most Instances It Is sown
too sparingly , The seed Is very uncertain ,
and a largo quantity Is ncce Kiry to glvo
any assurance of fruition whatever. If It
once does catch on , however , look out , for It
comes with a rush and will crowd out most
everything else. It Is to be hoped the sand
hills clubmen will be successful In their
undertaking this spring.
There was quite an Invoice of freshly
killed mallards received In the local markets
latt Wednesday , coming from somewhere In
the vicinity of Mnlvcrn , la. , and I am In
formed that revernl birds wcro killed at Lake
Manawa on Sunday and Monday lart. Con
sidering the open character of the winter M
far , tHs early arrival of the quackcrs should
occasion no surprise , for good shooting has
been hid several tlmea In the patt as far
north ns this by the Irt of February. However -
over , I do not anticipate anything of the
sort this year. Captain durncy , the motor
car meteorological savant , says we are going
to have plenty of a "good stiff article of win
ter yet. nnd the birds that have ventured
north this early In the year nro probably
Impatient stragglers whotvave bean deceived
by the propitious baltnlners of the weather.
The cnptnln says that on the 29th. 30th nnd
31st we are to have a cataclasm of PIIOW and
rain and sleet nnd wind the worst blizzard
elnce the memorable one of 1S87.
While t'poaklng on this subject. It Is a
notable fact that the gcesa have not loft the
Platte valley this winter. They have lingered
near Clarks and Fremont , and on further out

WLen Representative M. W. Howard , the
populist member from Alabama , first hung

In vain walling for his first client to come ,
when ono Ony he henrd n knock nt the door.
On calling "Como In ! " n dnrky known ns
Snm stepped Into the little office.
"What can I do for you ? " the lawyer
nrkcd. ns visions of his first fee came to him.
" 'Sense me , sah , " said Sam. "but deed I

In Virginia , many years ago , says the
Green Hag , a care was on trial In which the
defendant was accused of nhootlng Into n
party that had como to "horn" him , a form
of country colcbratlpn common at that time.
Dennis Keeny appeared for the defendant.
It was shown that the gun with which the
shooting was done was loaded with drloJ
peas Instead of lead. Finally a very dirty
looking witness was railed , and testified that
lie had been shot In the right leg. On cross-
examination the fellow appeared rather
shifty , nnd finally Kccny asked him to show
the Jury the exact ppot where the pea took
effect , The fellow demurred , paying that
: he shooting bad been done six weeks lie-
lore , and the wound had healed. At last ,
with great reluctance , the witness drew up
ils right trouser leg , exposing i > limb well
covered with dirt. Pointing to a spot which ,
f possible , was blacker than the rest , the
witness said :
"There ; that's where they wont In. "
Kccny turned to the jury , nnd In his most
mprpaalvo manner said :
Ul'llliuiliuil , 1 ludvu 11 lu jirui nuiMviuii i ;
of crops ; If peas had been planted In that
soil six- weeks ago they would be In blos
som now. "
The witness retired ; In confusion , and
feeny won his case. .
"My good woman , " paid the learned Judge ,
'you must glvo nn answer In the fewest
) osslblo word * of which you are capable to

Lord Eshcr , who , when president of the
ourt of appeals , used to keep up a running
re of "chaff" on learned counsel , sometimes
rot a Rowland for his Oliver as when a
oung barrister. In the course of argument ,
tated that no reasonable person could doubt
ne particular proportion. "Dut I doubt
t very much , " said the Judge. The youthful ,
idvocate , not ono whit abashed , replied :
I said no reasonable person , my lord. " The
naster of the rolls could only gasp : "Pro-
eed , sir , proceed. "
A colored witness In the Georgia superior
o'urt , stated that ho was unable to testify
s to a certain occurrence because he hod
"domestic trouble" just' about that time.
"What , was that domestic trouble ? " asked
theicxamlnlng > attorney.
"Wellito tell the truth , bos ? , " said the
witness , "I was In the penitentiary for stealIng -
Ing a cow. "
A Vermont judge concurring In the de
