The summer days are foal slipping away
and winter will bo hero before you know
it. Then outdoor sports must give-way for
those to bo had behind closed doors , vvhleh
are few nnd fnr between ns compared with
those ot the open air. During the frigid
period the bulk of the athletes in all de
partments of sport arc at rest , save thu
followers ot that alwajs questionable game ,
pugilism. The ball , cricket , tennis and
golf plajcr retires for six months' recuper
ation , the rower bonnes his scull nnd the
yncht owner disappears , while the bicycle
rider and the horses forsnko the pnth as

The big International chess tourney at
Nuremberg , Germany , did not icsult with
any great amount of satisfaction to Amei-
Icans. although 1'lllsbury succeeded In se
curing third prl7o Hut when you are
looking fur first thcro Is llttlo consolation
In third. The German champion , Laskor ,
was a clean and easy winner yet I'llUs-
bury compelled him to lower his colois in
tholr personal collision. lla\vuvci , Lasher
is again champcn { of the world , but It
doubtful whether1 ho. can hold It long He
and I'lllsbury are booked for a champion
whip bout some time during thu coming
winter , and the American has the call even
on the other side. He defeated thu big
four Laskcr , Stulnltz , Tschlgorln and
rasch at the recent touinament , and may
after all take a good deal of pride In his
record. H was to the lesser lights of
the board ho fell a victim. In the
earlier days ot the play , when ho was de
cidedly Indisposed , The old chess con-
nolsbeuri picked him for thu u Inner and
never dreajncd that ho could possibly fall
short of second place Showaltei , the United
Staks champion , was wiy short of his foim
and made but a sorry record. Ho was
nervous throughout and sustained several defeats
feats that should have been easy victories
Showalter , It seems , lacks the nerve ot Pllls-
bury , but ho Is undoubtedly one of the
masters of the game and would show up
better nt another meeting with the stars of
the old world.
Another Nebraska foot ball team has gone
to Butte and 1mH been taken into the camp
of the sturdy mountaineers. This time it
was the Nebraska City boya. When the
fltst teams journeyed to Unite they found a
husky lot of boys who were all enthusiastic
over the game , but not very well versed In
its fine points. Contact with good teams
good coaches and an addition of much new
and good material , however , has made the
Uutte allegation one of the most for-
mld.iblu in the wholu western country. As
much Interest seems to bo manifested In
these games , a short sketch of the members

by paying them for their services , but uty >

\Vlillo touching on the thumpers I might
add that I saw Jim Corbctt at thu Chicago *
Cincinnati ball game the other afternoon.n"
IIni occupied a box , with a single companion ,
and during thu entire game- WAS allowed
tc enjoy himself unmolested Ho didn't
even get n halidshnl.i' , and looked lonely ,
peaKcd and commonplace. There Is llttlo
mistake but what the once alleged great
pugilist's star lias gone down behind a

John Barleycorn As a consequence he did
not look at himself Ho wat cordial and
good naturcd ns ever , weighed about 100

Plnally It has been demonstrated that Iho
pcoplo know what leal sport In the blcycln
racing line Is ami the hilgo crowd which
111 It'll the. amplthoatcr at the old fair
grounds last Saturday was proof at the
fart that rcil racing will nlwaja find favor
with an Omaha crowd With the old track
as hard and smooth as labor could make
It , with the big stand packed with the
smiling faces of the fairer set and the larg
est Held of starters ever seen In thu west a
rare day's sport was cnjovcd by all.
There wcro many surprises In store for the
crowd. In the first place , every one was
wondering whether Maxwell or Mockctt or
Palrmon or Slaver , the California crack , or
which one of the circuit chasers would win
HIP big events , but they forgot that
"Faithful" Gadk < hail stajcd off the circuit
on purpose to dally practice thn quarter *
mile sprint which landed him winner In.
both the big open event * , Another sur-
prlso was In Harry K. Smith's nnd. Young
Joe Hoyne , who "had never raced before"
and who won his novice- the Omaha meet
and also won other numerous prizes.
MIerstlen , the- Sioux City crack , hail been
reported sick and did not enter until the
lost dnj. but this fact did not seem to stop
him from winning the big handicap from
the twentnvu jard mark. Bert Morrow ,
the Sioux City amateur , carried off both
the open amateur events , nnd. In tact. If It
had not been for Gadke , all the beautiful
prizes and all the good coin hung up by the
mamgemcnt would have loft town Max
well's paced half mile , behind McCall and
itaver , In 56 1-5 soponds , was a very credit
able affair and if the record Is allowed bv
the racing board the bo > s will ride a long
while before they will be able to lower It
The handicap events were as pretty sights
as one would wish to see Fifty riders ,
strung around the track In all their vario
lated costumes , was truly a striking spcc-
raclo. When at the crack of the gun the
three scratch men set out to overhaul the
limit men the excitement began and In
creased until after the second mile , when
all vero bunched nnd It was merely a ques
tion as to whether the scratch men had
ridden themselves out In their magnificent
ride after the men who lud started 325 yards
ahead , or whether the great advantage of
having ildden a shorter distance would land
some limit man In ahead The last mlle
was Indeed a beautiful race , with the whole
' itty riders In ono Immense buncJi , all strlv-
'ng for a position for the final sprint , which
, vas won by Virgil Hall , from the 100-ard
mark The success of this meet demon
strated that Omaha will alwajs patronbo
good sport and also that If the national
neet Is secured that there are men here who
mow how to handle races on a largo scale
and will bo able to do the "biz" as It ought
to be done ,
The sculllnc ! race for the championship of
the world between big Jim Stanbury and
Jake Gaudaur will take place some time
next month on the Thames , In England
Gaudaur Is now on the other side and all
of the details have been agreed upon. Stan-
bury Is an Australian and the champion of
the world , while Gaudaur Is a Canadian and
rho champion of the United States , on
whoso waters he has rowed much moic
than those of hla native land , and It Is for
this reason so many think him an American.
The Thames course , Is probably more ad-
vantageoua to the Australian than the man
fiom this continent. It Is a fast-flowing
current , and that Is the kind of course
Stanbury has been used to. nut Gaudaur
haa rowed on the Thames , and he rowed a
wonderful lace at that. In 18SC ho was
beaten in a race on that river by Wllllan :
Beach , an Australian , for the championship
of the world In one of the boht races ever
seen Ucarli simply outstayed Gaudaur , as
the latter showed himself to be a speedier
rower than the Australian. The tlmo made
was ono of the best on record , althougl :
that may not amount to much They
rowed their race In 22 29 , and later H.
Scarlcs and William O'Connor rowed the
course In 22 12 , But two second class mer
like Matterson und liubcnr rowed a niatcl :
race over the same course In 2202. This
shows thnt the time test on the Thames is
not u very sure one. The course. It may
bo remarked , Is four miles and 440 yards
long. Whllo It Is
rather early to figure on
the result of n race between Stanbury nnd
Gaudaur , I have no hesitancy In picking the
Antipodean for a winner , still Guudaur has
a chance Stnnbnry has plenty of endurance
and itervu , while Gaudaur occasionally likes
< °
It looks ns if a really honest effort wns
being made to revive the old-time IntercBl
In piofcsslonal sculling , and there Is bin
llttlo doubt but what the coming race wll
bo on the level. For the past decade the
game bus been n very shndy pnstlmo. Once
It wns n high fuvoiltc throughout the sport
Ing world , being In Its glory during tin
joais when Ned Hnnlnn reigned ns king
In his day ho was really Invincible , but like
all champions ho did not know enough to
quit In time He had the sporting worlt
at his beck and cill Ills carver was an
honorable nno Hundreds of Ihousands
of dollars were won on the curly
hrndcd chnmnlon , for such men ns
Courtney , Onudaiir , Ten Cycle. Hosmcr
Tcemer , Illlcy and n score of others , were
hla ensy victims. But when ho nt Inn
met his master thn glorious sport wns n ]
most literally abandoned , and since then
up to the present summer. It has been as
ilend ns the provcrblnl mackerel. Nobody
has been able to revive Interest In It , am
llniirnnt faking bns been the rule ever
slncn. Gaudnur has demonstrated time an
ngiiln that ho can paddle away from any
man In this country since poor O'Connor's
sad and untimely death. When Stanbury
was In this country a jear or two ago he
kept clear of Gnudaur. Our champion trlet
to draw him Into n match at Austin , Tex
but was unsuccessful. Since then the An
ttpodean has gained mare confidence It
himself. His recent defeat ot "Wag" Hard
Ing on the Thames has Increased his con
flilrnce nnd ho now thinks that Jake wll
prove n "pud. " May he prove In error , am
wo will all pull for Jake to bring back t
America the prize once held by Hanlau , th
world's Eculllug championship.
It seems to be pretty generally understooe
that Kecno Fltzpatrlck will take the plnci
of Michael Murphy as the trainer of tin
Yale athletes. I'ltz made a fine reputation
with the University of Michigan , anil th
advisory committed thought It could no
get a better man to drop Into Murphy'
shoo. It Is chiefly on account of the too
hall squad that Fltzpatrlck has been so
lerted. He has no equal at training
football team , and the Yale men , lu antlcl
paling some tough matches in the coraln ,
fall , were bound to have a trainer who coul
prepare them for thu trying campaign A
ft trainer of foot bailers , Fltz U not entirely
unknown to fame. It was he who trainee
Yale in those seasons when she was con
tlde'red Invincible , and hla work is still re
nu'mhered at Now Haven ns surpassing any
thing ever in connection with the unlver

The defeat of Frank Ae n by Robert J
at Columbus , O. , on Thursday of last week
must have coat N. W , Hiiblnger , the rich In
owner , many a thousand dollars , as he 1
noted on the Grand circuit for big heav
betting. Light harness horses are hU fad
and bo vrai big loser until Frank Aeun of
showed such phenomenal speed. After win
ning and lo lng a race or two , Frank Agan
took Robert J anil Joe Patchen Into camp
at Cleveland , reeling off the three heats
In 2 05 , 2 01 and 2 Oti i , the second fastest
race on record But the Village stock farm
had Its revenge on Thursday at Columbus ,
and Robert J beat the biff stifling In the
fastest rnco In the history of light harness
racing. The fourth heat was made In 2-02 ,
which Is the fastest mile ever made In a
race , although this pncer tn n trial against
the watch paced n mlle In 2 01'4 Robert
J , by his race on Thursday , has demon
strated that ho is still king of the side-
wheelers , as ho has been for the past three
Soars , Prank Agan reduced his record to
! 03 % . which Is the record held by John

The aftermnth of Yale's trip to Henley
s . . developing many Interesting fa ts They
n" tend to show up Coach Bob Cook In an
unenviable light. U will be remembered
t the tlmo Hint Cook was roundly crltl-
Iscd by the American critics for telling
ils oarsmen they were bcnten before they
ntcrctl the race and making other dlaheart *
nlng statements. The statement that ap
peared during the-crew'a absence In a New
York Journal for which Cook was acting as
ipeclal correspondent , over hla own slgna-
uro , to the effect that thcro had been
omo dissension within the crew has
caused all Yalenslnns to wonder Just what
vns meant At thnt tlmo U was not gen-
rally bcllovctl. But the following Inter-
lew with one ot the members of the crew ,
obtained by the usually careful nnd accu
rate correspondent of the Philadelphia PubIc -
Ic Ledger at New Haven , explains many
hlngs that hnvo not heretofore been under-
stootl. He snvs-
"A number of disagreements arose
jctweeti Mr. Cook nnd the other
eoarhers. Including Captain Treadvvay nnd
cx'Captaln .Armstrong , who accompanied
ho eight to England They thought differ
ently from Mr. Cook In n number of things
which composed v Itnl parts of Yale's policy ,
> ul , of course , Mr. Cook was head coach
nnd his plan always went. The members
of the crew did not show their disapproval
of Mr. Cook In nn Insubordinate manner
> ut they did express It on one occasion
vary forcibly. The choice of Mr. Cook for
the captain next year was Gcorgo Lnng-
'ord , the stroke Langford was generally
ookctl on ns the coming captain till the
crew went to Cnglnnd. Then it seemed
as If opposition to his choice arose from the
7T ' 'act that he was Bob Cook's man for the
p ilace. , The crew decided among themselves
.o select Phil Bailey , who has had only a
'cw months' experience in the Ynlo boat
When the election took plnco Bailey was
elected.
"It was to be Yale's policy after" the race
n England to have ex-Captain Armstrong
; aln as many vital points on Cngllsh row-
ng ns he could , and to have him for the
lead Yale conch the coming year. Mr
Cook has opposed Armstrong for the posi
tion , and In the midst of thu trouble Lang-
fold has said that he will not stroke the
crew next j ear. nx-Captnln Armstrong has
expressed himself on ono very vital matter
relative to Yale's policy of training the
coming year
"Ho thinks that two freshmen crews
should be formed , as at Cornell , and that
hey should train the entire year In prepara
tlon for the raee , not working several hours
ially as Is the case hero now , for a few
months , but halt an hour , throughout the
year. Mr. Cook Is opposed to this s > stcm ,
although what his plan would bo has not
yet nppenred. Mr Cook has even thrent-
oncd to coacli the Unlversltj of Pennsyl
vania ciow next year If his plans aie dis
regarded and Armstrong coaches Yale.
Thcro will be a meeting of prominent Yule
men soon to talk the matter over. "
Edgar G. Holt , Harvard's giant football
guard , has decided to leave Harvard ant ]
to enter Princeton In September. Holt
Is one of the strongest guards In college ,
and In championship games last 3ear ht
was the milnstny of the crimson line , and
It will bo a difficult matter to nil the posi
tion he leaves vacant. Dudley Rlgqs. whom
Casper Whitney chose as an all-Amerlcaii
team guard , will not return to collegeane
Holt will bo on hand to play Rlggs1 position
Princeton graduates believe that with the
famous Princeton line system of play. Holt
will become a football player as able ns
Yale's great HcfTelflngor of ' 92. In addl
tlnn to being n skillful football player. Hoi
will bo ot great value to the track athletic
team aa a hurdler and weight man. Ho
has a record In the shot-put of 39 feet
Inches He has thrown the hammer 89 feet
and his time over the high hurdles Is r
seconds. An athlete leaving one college to
enter another is not without precedent. In
' 88 IlefTelflngor was a student nt Princeton
and left to become an undergraduate ai
Yale a short time later. In ' 01 Carter , the
base ball player , did likewise. Then Kellcy
came from Yale to Princeton In ' 91 , nnd
now Holt will wear orange and black after
having plnyed on the Harvanl eleven fo
a season. The Tigers will meet for early
practice In September , two weeks befor >

reaches from Hudson strait on the noith
to the St. Lawrence on the south , and from
Hudson bay on the west to the Gulf of St.
Lawrence and the Atlantic on the cast.
This vast territory Is fully 1,000 miles from
east to west and 1,200 miles from north to
south. The region abounds with magnificent
lakes and rlvcis. Is almost vholly unux-

sporting grounds In the world from the
time the Ice breaks up In May to the be- i
ginning of fall. The ouananlcho Is the
salmon found In the waters of northern and i
eastern Canada. Careful observation tends | '
Cltl tltl the belief that It very seldom descends
to salt water. It Is found In the fresh i

waters of Lake St. John all the jear around , i
Strangely enough , however , It Is not found

CODY , Neb. . Aug. 13 To the Sporting i
Editor of The BeeI read the article In i
last Sunda > 's Bee relntlv'e to the unexplained ! 'I '
disappearance of the buffalo grads which '
used to flourish so exuberantly throughout ' J I
this state as well as the whole west , and I |
must.say I do not coincide with the learnd 1
authority whom you quote I do not belle-vo
that "tho hardening of the surface by the
tread of the animals and the regular manur
ing by reason of their presence" has had
anything to do with the alleged dhapt
paarance of the buffalo grass. An experience <
extending through nearly thlrty-nlno years '
In the buffalo country convinces mo that
the grass Is not running out from any such .
causes It Is one of our jiardlest species , and
Is capable of withstanding any and all kinds :
of weather , and grows where other grasses
cannot survive. Buffalo grass Is stilt a
veiy decided ( inanity in our native upland
hay , and whenever to by secured. Is fed by
ranchmen and farmers. In preference to
clover or timothy It Is1 to bt found on nil
Irrigated hay lands , an'il reaches n height
siilllclcnt to be caught'/ ! ; the mower. I
claim and think I can Jijovc- that it has not
or is not running out. u'U to be seen today
in great abundance at Jhfi sides of all the
roads traversing , the p.J/i ) / % and In the low
lands whore the bison jvere most wont to
feed , It IH even morojjijjp.utlful than In the
early Injun da > s. ' ( | whole former
buffalo country now iyauted with count
less thousands of cntjlq , , do they not keep
the surface hardened , ayil , maiuircd Just as
thoughly as the bUloi e\rr did ? Well , then
why such a theory dvauped lu jour
brief article ot last .iiqulc ? And again ,
wherever buffalo grass lias vanished and
coarser plants hnvesucceeded It , It has
been from some natural cause , nnd not
merely because the twlilito have gene , I
can take you to spots today where there
has not been a buffalo''fur thirty the years
and show you buffalo grasps flourishing like
green bay tree , ifowever , this Is an
Interesting subject , am ! I'woiijd like to hear
from my fellow ranch1 men on the same
through the columns ot your popei B B
Thorpe.
While Mr. Thorpe's communication Is ut
least readable , overwhelming proof gathered
from all parts of the erstwhile buffalo coun
try render his assertions absolutely unten
able and his argument' weak and purlle
He exposes his Ignorance of the matter
when he asks If the whole former buffalo
country is not tenanted by cattle , and again
when ho says ho can lead one to "spots"
where the grasses flourish as of old It will
require no learned authority to reply con ,
clusively to Mr. Thorpe I am sufliclent to
the occasion mjself , not from any theoretical
Inferences or borrowed knowledge , but from
actual observation and experience. I never
take a hunt out In the western portion of
the state or up In the Dakotas but what I
make constant research for knowledge and
the flora and the fauna of this most In tlead
teresting region has alwajs been delightful
for me. No , the cattle do not tenant the
whole former buffalo country. There Is not
e.no steep on the plains today Tvhero there
were ten thousand buffalo a half century
ego. nnd the surface ot the country Is not
uniformly beaten hard , as U was In those
days ot unobstructed freedom , nor Is the
manure of the cattla the sameas was thnt
of the blaon , His Idea of buffalo grass on
all irrigated lands Is another egregious misstatement -
statement , as Is his knowledge- ltd being
niotvcd nnd made Into hay and fed In prefer
ence lo timothy or clover. Certainly ho
can take one to "spots" where this peculiar
and precious gross flourishes , and so can I.
I can flnd It In almost nny scctlo.i of the
old buffnto country , but It la mighty
rare. You tnke a wagon trip of , sny. from
forty to fifty miles , through western Nc-
braskn or Dakota , nnd mark how , every
once . . In a while , your driver , If he bo an old-
timer { or experienced plainsman , will pnlnt
with ' his whip down along the roadside nnd
e.\plaln "There's your buffalo grass " You
. won't catch him limiting a sweep of his
hand . over thu plain nntl exclaiming : "Thnt's
I all . buffalo grass " Thnt tlmo has passed
j' And , If Mr Thorpe wants my theory of the
I i dlsnppenrnncc . . , . of the Rrnss I can give It In
I few words The
. . grass was dependent upon
j the buffalo , the buffalo have gone and so
j hastho } grass or at least Is rnpldly going.
Like my correspondent , 1 would like to reecho -
echo the opinions of all old plainsmen nnd
ranchmen who feel Interested enough to dis
cuss the matter for publication In these
columns. Sporting Editor.

The dozen teams In the National league
arc rounding Into the stretch , with Cin
cinnati nnd Baltimore neck and neck in the
lead , with Cleveland third well In the dust.

There have been some decided changes dur
ing the past week , Cincinnati pulling up

two defeats nnd the tied Legs holding their
own Clevelnnd has tnken quite n slump
and there Is little likelihood of her being

With a fev more lickings by her eastern

Cincinnati | , thnt Is , of course , piovldcd the
latter maintains her present admirable
E' '
The Western league race has been a re-
markably hot one , and while Minneapolis
leads , the events of the past fortnight are
calculated to make her nervous. St. Paul ,
after a remarkable winning streak at home ,
reached the top only to be dragged down by
Columbus , the tallendcrs. Then the Saints *
I after a sequence of surprise parties on
| Ton Loftus' lot , proceeded to tan the hides
of the Hooslcrs and recover ground that
'
had been lost at Columbus. Now Detroit
i Is ( making things lively for Indianapolis
j while Milwaukee has walloped St. Paul
j The Saints , who were dark i'orses for the
j i ppnnnnt Only a week ago , have tumbled Into
third place and Indianapolis I ! hilt a notch
above her.
It will be interesting for the many Omaha
friends of Joe Dolan , formerly of this cl'y
to know thnt he has worked himself In'o
r I the National league nnd made a very suc-
'cessful ' debut with the Louisville club on
Tuesday of last week. Dolan Is nn Omaha
. boy , and served his base ball apprenticeship
, here , first as captain nnd catcher for the
i ' Shnmrocks and afterward for the Crana
company team , with whom he remained for
j i three J : years , nnd later with the Conventions
This spring he found himself with the
Lynchbnrg team of the Virginia league slid
associated with him were "Kid" Fear and
young McJnmes , now with the Washlngtons
J Pickering of the Lynchburgs went to Louls-
vllle with Dolan and of the twelve hits made
by f the team on Tuesday last oft Cy Young
these two youngsters secured five and aa-
s'stcd very materially In miking nr
eleven-Inning tlo out of a came
which at one time seemed linjio-
icssly , lost. Dolan levered shorUtcp
accepting seven dlfllciilt chances without an
en or , besides being credited with a stolen
base He Is a natural ball plajcr and Is
bound to succeed and his many Omaha
friends wish him success.
"Ono of the smallest crowds I ever behel
at a ball game Hocked by themselves to
witness . a game between the St. Louis
Drowns nnd Loulsvlllcs at Louisville late
last season , " sajs Tim Hurst. "They tool' '
exceptions to one ot my decisions and ono
colonel In the stand , with a whisky \olco
and fine-cut whiskers , yelled : "Sail , Hurst
sab ! If you tlon't do the kunncls Justice the
crowd here will run yon off thf Held , sail ! '
I politely Informed this colonel that the
crowd wasn't laise enough to make a re-
spcctablo showing In a rough and tumble
and nffeietl to lock the gate nnrt take a
catch-as-catch-can chance with the little
bunch j , of fans that were roasting me The
novelty of the idea struck the bunch ns

a hit with them , and I wasn't roasted du'lu ;
