    TUB O LAHA ± > AILY REE : SUNDAY , AUGUST , 2.JT , 1800.
The present summer , thus far anyway , has
proved ono of tbo greatest epochs for sport
Imown In o ROOI ! many years , not only
abroad , but locally. Of course wo bavo
been denied professional base ball here ,
but with liorso and blcyclo racing , trap
shooting , cricket , lawn tennis niul track
othlotlca , there has been no dearth of out
door entertainment since the first balmy
days In early April down to the prcsont time ,
and tl'.o two months yet Intervening
between the dog days and the advent of
Jnck Frost give promise of a still more
bountiful harvest. This great revival In
athletic pastime I3 undoubtedly due , In no
email measure , to the doughty American
lads who journeyed to far distant Greece and
returned with the laurel wreaths of the
I'anthoon. There are more amateurs In
this country today , in the various depart
ments of sport , than was ever known before ,
end the program Inaugurated In the early
vernal season Is as yet , but fairly begun.
And a gratifying fact Is , that while tbcro
nro now more itsplrants for athletic fnmo
than ever before , thcru Is a greater number ,
as Is natural , that can bo ranked as
particularly good ones. Old standing records
have been swept away with an almost
prodigal recklessness , and a number of cx-
[ oncnls of this or that game , unknown a year
ngo , nro , today enjoying the plaudits of the
sporting worild , and there are more com
ing. The American people seem fairly sport
crazy , and the foot ball campaign this fall
promises to bo ono of tremendous and un
paralleled Interest. The American people
believe In all forms of healthful amusement ,
and the natural following Is bound to be a
superior generation , men and women of
higher and broader Intellection , of sounder
lungs and bodies and limbs , and more philan
thropic , Industrious and progressive.
Henry of Navarre , while the unquestioned
king of the American running turf , Is llko-
ivlso one of the best race horses In the
world , and as his name Is a household word
throughout the country , It might be Instruc
tive to those Interested In the sport of
kings to know how he came by this name
and what it sigulfles. Henry of Navarre ,
after whom the great horse was named , was
one of the most gallant soldiers In the his
tory of the French army. Ho was bravo tea
a fault and of an irrepressible , aggressive
nature , and he told bis soldiers on the eve
of battle that wherever they saw the white
plume of his helmet they would know that
*
was where they would be most needed in
the thickest of the fight. And true to his
declarations the gallant knight was always
at the front In every conlllct , and for these
distinguishing traits was the great race
torso christened. Henry of Navarre , being
a. western horse. Is the idol of the followers
of the sport this side of 'the ' AllcEhanles.
That ho was well named is attested by the
fact that In all his battles on tbo course be
lias been found in the front.
The Gaudaur-Stanbury championship
iculllng match will take place on the Thames
just two weeks from tomorrow , September
T , and It Is pleasing to note that the Ameri
can has already made a dccidud impression
on the other sldo and will have quite an
English following. I hope ho will be able
to beat the Australian , but ho will have
to show mo , although I am not from Mis
souri. This la the St. Louis sculler's third
visit to Albion's shores. In 1SS3 ho crossed
over with lUnlan , Ross , Hosmer and othej-a ,
and , although his graceful work
vvas much admired , ho had to suc
cumb to both Haitian and Hoss. In I8SG
lie went over aga'ln and was flaxcd by
Jlejch , n muscular fellow from the land of
the Southern Cross. Since then ho has
never had a chance at the world's 'cham
pionship until now. Stanbury , the Aus
tralian , has worn the crown since ' ! ) ! , when
ho outoared McLean on the Paramatta
river , and recently made a chimpanzee out
of Harding , England's premier , on the
Thames. Doth Gaudaur and Stunbury are
reported to be In the very pink of condi
tion and a great race Is forthcoming. Doth
men are splendid specimens of the athletic
genus lioni ) , both being a trifle over six
feet in height and weighing In form be
tween 175 and ISO pounds , with a trifle of
both height and weight In the antlpodlan's
favor.
The new boxing law goes Into force In
New York nu September 1 , but It will not
take It long to go out. The result Is In
evitable. There are more men carrying
hammers In the city of New Amsterdam
than In any dozen metropolitan burgs In the
world. With HlK Alt Kennedy , Tom
O'Hourko , Hilly Madden and Charlie "Gln-
slIiiBer" in town , what are you going to do ?
Hero nro four savory gentlemen who are
and always have been too strong to work.
They have preyed on tbo lighters so long
that "carrying the banner" would be a
preferable job 'to honest labor. Each ono of
tha four Imagines ho owns Qowanus , but
"
It Is doubtful , barring "tho llngulstlcal
O'noiirko , whether any ono of the quartet
has the "price" today , They nro as jealous
of each other as a cat la of her whiskers ,
mid just as full of petty con and
docclts as a yellow cur Is of fleas. They
ldio\v or ( 'arc nothing for the ethics of sport.
Bach Is on tlio make and when their in
terests clash look out for the police. New
York's boxing chnnccs nro about on the
same ratio with that of a certain located
Bnowflako we have all heard about so many
times. That IN the way I Ionic at It , Hustle
Madden , O'lloiirke , Kennedy , Glnsllnger et
cl off Into a rolling mill and put the game
Jn n-putablo , cupablo and appreciative hands
and It may enjoy a season , brief at the very
bi'jit , of prosperity.
Ton honor , all this talk about Corbott ,
the short skuto champion , is getting to bo
actually grotusquo , and tha fellow Is really
to bo pitied. Jew Clioynski la now out with
tha declaration that after he sets through
with that big , overgrown hlood-pitddliig , Jos
SteAullffo , ho will go to Now York and offer
to knock the conqueror of John L. out In
ten rounds , and while ho can probably do
It , he ou ht to know that Jimmy dassont
fight nnybojy until after the settlement of
his HUlu controversy with Sailor Sharltoy.
Now the truth of the whole matter la , Cor-
bstt has not the remolf.it Idea In the world
of polng against the Pacific slnpo jack tar.
Jio has bad him once and that was A plenty.
More lhan any ono clso Corbett knows of
lili waning powers. Ho realizes they have
been sapped to the dregs. Jutt look at and
Union to him. Ho has lost all his bam-
bist and bravado. He la In the background.
IIohas nothing hut words of prnlso for
Bharkey and apparently nuvcr heard of a

The proposed championship battle at
checkers between the two widely known and
popular veterans of the squared board , James
Wyllle and Kobcrt Martens , has been fixed
for Glasgow , Scotland , some time during the
last of November. Wyllio and Martena are
both cx-champlons of the world , and Wyllle
probably never had a superior at the great
game of draughts. He- visited this country
and all our best players , with a single ex
ception , were puppets In his hands. lut ! he
is growing old now and younger , brighter
and nioro vigorous minds are In the field.
Many years have elapsed since either Wyllle
or Martens appeared In public , hut both
have continued to make the game n pro
found study. It Is felt that their great
services In popularizing this llttlo under
stood game Is deserving of reward. Hence
the present match has been arranged. It
is to bo a contribution match , and all those
wishing to subscribe to the cause can remit
whatsoever they see proper to Alexander
Uryson , Glasgow , Scotland.
It seems that the Duke and Wlshard
stable over In England has pulled off good
lumps of British gold for this shrewd pair
of Americans. They have won their full
share of all the races In which they have
entered. The Johnny Hulls have all been
at sea over the American's method of train
ing. They will have no local talent con
nected with their stable , and personally
ovcrsco and do all the work themselves.
Wlshard plates his own horses , and Ilelff ,
their crack jock , has proven himself a match
for any of the English riders he has been
pitted against. Ho rides all the horses ,
even In their workouts , and the touts have
been at a loss to get a line on any of them.
Doth men are heavy betters and there Is no
limit to their play when they think their
horse can win. The bookmakers are all
"leary" and llttlo penciling Is done on any
of their entries. They require no assist
ance from any of the Newmarket kno\v-lt-
alls , and as a consequence have been steady
money getters.
The Neol brothers of Chicago are the
national tennis champions , haying success
fully defended the title at Narragansett Pier
ono day last week in a stubbornly fought
battle with Hovey and Hobart , the eastern
cracks. The Chicago men were both In ex
cellent form and their play was even at
all points , while the team work was superb.
On the other hand Hovoy and Hobart showed
anything but good , form ; still luck was
largely with them. Hobart was particularly
lax , but Hovey played a brilliant game.
The westerners , however , were too steady
and too strong for them , and finally brought
about their subversion In signal style. Two
days later at Newport the Neels repeated
the trick , this tlmo defeating the ex-cham
pions , Chose and Wrenn , In the same de-
clslvo way , but after the hardest kind of a
fight.
The full list of the games played at
Nurcmburg , the scene of the recent Inter
national chess tournament , have been re
ceived and analyzed on this sldo. They
wcro great struggles , nil of them , und show
clearly with what Intensity and fierceness
the strlfo was waged by these mighty mas
ters of queens and pawns , knights , rooks
and castles. With but very few exceptions
the games wcro contested with the highest
dcgreo of skill.at comiuand at the.players
and are all splendid samples of scientific
chess strategy , worthy ! of careful study and
of perpetual record. A game that evidently
ranks with the best in the tournament Is
that between Janowskl and Lasker , In which
the Parisian bowled over tlio world's cham
pion in magnificent style. Lasker's games
are full of combinations finely conceived and
cleverly carried out. Judging from Maroc-
zy's games there seems very llttlo doubt
but that this new star from Hungary will
have uo trouble to hold his own In his
present company. Showalter's victories frotn
Tschlgorin and Telchmann show the kind
of chess the United States , champion Is
really capable of playing and his falling
down with less worthy opponents Is some
thing hard to account for. If the United
States secures the winter congress the
American champion promises to , and likely
will , redeem hlmsolf.
The foot ball rules for 1890 formulated
by the rules committee of the University
Athletic club , and adopted by Harvard , Uni
versity of Pennsylvania , Princeton , Yale and
Cornell , have just been Issued. With this
code Is restored once more the old harmony
among all the prominent factions in the
foot ball field of rule makers. The principal
changes from the double set of rules In
existence last season are the entire excision
of the momentum play , the rather moderate
restraint of mass plays , the curtailment of
delays duo to "scrapping" In the line , tlio
privilege of running or heeling after a fair
catch and the moro careful division of the
powers of the ofllclals.
The work , as usual , Is edited by Walter
Camp , tha foremost authority on foot ball
In America , and contains besides , a chapter
lor beginners , Interesting letters from old-
time piaycrs on the good results attributable
to foot ball , Interesting data on the game
and portraits of tbe loading teams and the
most prominent players of nearly every
college and athletic club In the United
States. It also contains handsarno half-tone
pictures of each member of the committee ;
group pictures of the teams of Yale , Har
vard , Princeton , University of Pennsylvania
and Cornell , as well as a photograph of the
captain and leading players of every foot
ball team of note throughout tbe United
States , numbering In all over 240 pictures.
The volume Is invaluable and forms the
August number of Spaldlng's Incomparable
athletic library.
The redoubtable Jack Prince , ono of the
best Urown sporting caterers' in the coun
try , and the ex-bicyclo champion of the
world , Is In tha city for a short visit among
numerous old friends. Jack was a con
spicuous character in Omaha for years , and
had a larger circle of acquaintances , proba
bly , than any man In the state. Ho built
the old coliseum. Individually and alone , and
whllo a resident hero was at. the bead of all
projects of a sporting character. He lives
in NJHhvlllo now , and Is just as popular
there as ho was bore. Ills coliseum In the
Tennessee capital was built at a cost of
$75,000 , but haa cleared Iteolf several times
over , Jnck Is now engaged In establishing
a con them racing circuit , to. iuclude Nash
ville , Memphis , Montgomery , Birmingham
and Atlanta. When completed It will form
one of the best blcyclo racing circuits In the
country. Jack Is not averse Jo giving Holton ,
Maxwell , McCall , Oadke , Plxloy or Krcd-
rlckaen a rncn whllo ho la here for almost
any sort of a staKo. If any of these gentlemen
tle-men desire to ascertain just what la loft

the sporting editor of The IJeo and arrang
ing for a. meeting with him.

Justice upon these defiant tiafllckors , 'Shut
off the market and the pot-hunter's vocation
Is gone. Prohibition of the sale ot game
and fish In close season Is recognized by all
practical and experienced Individuals and
societies engaged in game protection , ftS an
absolute essential. Without shutting down
the market sale ot game and fish In clbo
Reason the laws would be , in a largo
measure , farcical.
In ono more short week the close 'season
will have expired , and gunners cau then
sally boldly forth like true sportsmen , In
stead of like so many sneaks and vandals.
The prairie chicken Is fast following in the
wako of the buffalo and wtla pigeon , and
will soon have disappeared forever , Insofar
ns Nebraska Is concerned. With proper
legislation , however , or by the enforcement
of the laws already upon the statute books ,
this grand game bird would have thriven
lcro : in plentlttldc for years to come. Hut
It Is useless to exhort and beseech , and the
passage of new laws would now bo like
locking the stable door after the horse thief
had been tlierc. It is a lamentable state of
affairs , and a ead commentary upon the
Intelligence and wisdom of the men who nre
supposed to look after and care for the
interests of the general people.
No bird ever lent such a charm to Its
surroundings as the chicken to our fair
prairies. Ho has been to these broad plains
more than the quail to the cornfield and
stubble of the cultivated farm , or the Jnck *
snipe to the oozy marsh. Without this
beautiful bird the prairie loses one o [ Its
greatest eutrancements , and becomes llttlo
less than a lonely and untcnanted waste.
What a thrill that peculiar crowing of the
cocks sends through the sportsman's breast
when ho hears It swelling from the distant
ridge in the early spring , before the
faint blue of the liverwort be
gins to beam bcsldo the fading
snowdrift In the timber , or the spring
beauties light the sombre face of wood and
plain. Even the old trained gunner gives n
start when an old hen goes whirring from
out the tall grass at his very feet , and the
novice , well he might ns well attempt to
down a will-o'-the-wisp with an air gun , ns
to stretch her mottled form upon the
yellowing plain. And when the wild fowl
bid goodbye to the stripped rice fields and
desolate sloughs , and tbe geese no longer
dot the bars in the river , and the blackbirds
and the robins have petulantly chirped n
lust farewell , the chicken nro alone left to
cheer the weary prairie waste. Forbidding
weather has no terror for them , and It Is
a sight to see them In the evening , In large
flocks , or by ones or twos , sweeping over the
sear expanse from standing cornllclil to
roosting grounds ; or In the morning , when
the hoar frost covers everything , setting
with drooping heads on the top of haycock
or fence , or within the leafless branches of
the low trees. Indeed the future Is a dreary
picture for the old sportsman's contempla
tion , for soon the cheerless winter land
scape of stretching plain will know Its one
greatest charm , the prairie chicken , no
more. The generations to come may jet
hear the sweet call of Bob White as It tinkles
over harvest field and meadow ; the thril
ling "scalpe" of the jack snipe as he zigzags
in bewildering Might across the springy bog ,
the quack of the emerald-headed mallard
as be disports In the rice , 'or the deep-
toned honk I ahonk ! of the wild goose fallIng -
Ing from the sky while on his way to either
the distant north or south ; but few shall
sco the prairie chicken save In protected
park or zoological garden.
It Is gratifying to note that many of the
states of the union are providing for "Din"
day , " and It will evidently be but a short
time ere the example has been universally
followed , and "Hinl day" like "Arbor day"
will bo a national holiday. On all hands
the project Is commended , ns the desirability
and necessity of such an occasion Is em
inently obvious. Like "Arbor day. " "Hird
day" will develop into one of the most sensi
ble and useful of all holidays. Our native
birds , from some unexplnlnable cause , have
decreased at a woful rate during the past
decade , and are still rapidly disappearing.
Whether this Is by reason of the Introduction
of that foreign pest , the English sparrow ,
which has actually taken possession and
swarms like nnlmalculae In stagnant water
all over this broad land , I will not pre
sume to say , but It Is highly probable ,
Years ngo bluebirds , robins , catbirds , ori
oles , finches , wrens , bluejays , ' witx-wlngsi
and other species of beautiful song birds
were common sights In every dooryard ,
whllo the barn swallow and the marten bus
tled about every eave. Where are they
now ? The bluebird Is actually extinct in
many parts of the country , and catbirds ,
( Inches , orioles , wrens and wax-wlnga are un
common sights even in the rural districts
Oh , yes , there is no argument necessary ,
when It comes to "DIrd Day. " Every state
In the union wints It and will in time have
It. Our children should be taught to pro
tect and care for the birds , instructed as to
their usefulness and taught to contribute to
their welfare and perpetuation.
The upland plover have gone. To be
sure , there may bo a. straggler or two left ,
but so far as the main body of the birds
nro concerned , they have departed and by
this time are whistling over and gorging
themselves on the broad plateaus of New
Mexico. Whllo the birds were here this
summer more abundantly than for years , but
comparatively few good bags were made.
The weather was so excessively torrid all
through the period of their sojourn here
that they kept well within the barricades
of our immeasurable corn fields , seldom
venturing out upon the open meadow or hay-
lands , hence escaped almost entirely the
onslaughts of the gunners.
W. H. S. Hughes "Uncle Hilly" the old
and esteemed head and front of the Omaha
club , Is still one of tbo city's steadiest and
most reliable trap shots. Just now he enjoys
the fine general average of 88 per cent for
the entire season's shooting.
There Is a certain Omaha gentleman who
"a-a-bundred" that Fred
would like to bet - -
Montmorcncy can flax Latslmw , the Lincoln
crack , In a 100 live bird race. Now , Lat ,
here's your chance ; step up and let us see
what you can do.
Vast quantities of smalj cropplo and sunfish -
fish are being dally taken from tlfo waters
of classic Cu-Off. Every day during the
past week the bridge was lined with busy
anglers , while every boat about the lake
accommodated from one to four.
Frank Parmeleo and Frank Carmlchnel
are tied for the prize given for the five
highest scores of the season. Doth gentle
men have broken 123 out of a possible 125
targets , their average being a shade over
98 per cent. Carmlchael's work Is really
remarkable , as he Is but a comparatively
"now" shot and at the commencement of
the season was given little attention by the
club's experts ,
Mr. George Crandall of the Union Pacific ,
who was one of a party which recently
visited the wilds of Idaho under the guidance
of Hon. Erastus Young , has the sporting
editor's acknowledgments for a couple of
brace ot young sage hens and a delicious
"mess" of t'rout. The party had a great
outing and plenty of luck.
Dqth Goodley Drucker and Fred Monte
morency killed twenty-four out of twenty-five
in the big trophy event at the recent Chicago '
shoot anil got away with second money.
"Plumber" Head has again gotten Into
form. He is breaking targets and Killing
birds llko he did back In 1SS9 and 1SOO ,
The Omaha Gun club would llko to shoot
a race , ten men on a side , with any club In
the state. The Omaha Gun club would also
llko to have a warehouse full of $20 gold
pieces.
An annual outing with rod or gun often
both has become one ot tbo essential things
of life In the estimation of a rapidly in
creasing throng of people fond of Geld sports.
The coming Is a favorite month with 'some '
( or a period ot recreation in tbe woods and
on the waters. It is usually ono of the most
sultry months of the year , but during.thU
forvld tlmo the trouting season ends and the
shooting season begins , so that careful ' selec
tion of place may bring sport with'both rod
and gun , The teal shooting .opens''up In
4cptombor and reports from all directions
-ay that there are' going to be slathers of
birds.
The general average of the Omaha Gun
club for the entire season Is over SO per
cent , and has been as high as SO ( or one
day's -booting.
Hello O. Helkes of Dayton , 0. , Is the

He wrested the title and E. 0. cup , emble *
matlo of tbe came , from Fred Gilbert ot
Spirit Lake , ! . , by a , score ot
123 to 139 oo Thursday last at Cntc EO.
Helkes led by one bird most of the war , only
obtaining the declslvotTOtn In the next to
last round. The notlftroblo feature of the
occasion was an unusilally large attcndanco
of women , all of whiim Joined In the ap
plause when the shooters faced the traps.
Of the 150 targets flfty-rm-i , nt known traps
and angles , fifty at unknown traps and
twenty-five pairs , HCIKOS § margin of three
"Was obtained equally ; frfra the three dlffer-
cml styles , he breaking one more than his
opponent In each. The prevalent opinion Is
that Gilbert has become- trifle "stale , "
though no credit can uo ntken from his op
ponent , who shot a steady , consistent race
throughout.'I

Brigadier General JlmSmead , represented
Omaha In good style at t/ie / recent Chicago
shbot , as did also "PlumUer" Iteail. the two
missing but finir birds during the cntlro
tournament.
Frank Parmolco was unfier the weather
during the Chicago shoot and It was this
alone that kept him out of the first rank.
Urt Is a sick man yet , but If there arc any
shots In the neighborhood who think ho
Is not still "In 11 , " all that Is to be done Is
to repeat the Colonel's motto , and that Is ,
"Como on , boys. "
Hilly Townscnd has again taken up target
shooting and will soon bo In the van with
the rest nt the good ones. Seven or eight
years ago lie was as good a shot as tlierr *
was In Omaha , and a llttlo practice will
surrly restore his old form. Mr. Town
scnd Is not only a flno shot , but the best
posted sportsman In this neck of woods.
John Petty , the old champion all-round
shot of the state , says he Is going to Join
the Htipont Oun club and show the boys how
the war broke out In 1812 ,
George Looinls Is the best man In the
country on low fast targets or fast-flying
live birds.

The Universities and Originals played
their last game of the series for the cham

before a. slim and spiritless crowd. After
n struggle , brilliant only for Its Jumble of
errors , the Oilglniils won by a margin of
two , t'.ius ' giving them the first und lust
of the series of games played.
The Universities started off with a lead
of three runs , but wretched playing soon
made those fndn Into insignificance. In
their hnlf of the first and second innings
the Orlelnals made ten runs , all on errors
liv their opponents. W.io Iwiiciu-d seven of
their eight 1-rrors In this brief time. In the
third the Originals showed what they knew
about playing dub ball and massing four
errors allowed the college youttis to coino

both teams settled down and gave their
usual exhibition of fast amateur ball.

E. H. Sprague and .1. Francis , two of the
most enthusiastic members of the Omaha
Cricket club , had on their war paint yes
terday. Sprapue lict Francis nn Inconceiv
able ; number of 18 to 1 dollars that he could
bring a team In the Held that would beat
any team which Francis could bring In
exactly the same ratio or very near It. The
result proved that Sjragne knew whereof
he spoke , for ho came out ahead In t'.io
latlo of 105 to CO. The game was decidedly
ono of the most exciting over played on
the Omaha grounds between club teams
The trouble commenced when Francis sent
In W. VnuRhnn and Sti-llillng to t'ae ' bat
tery of G. Vailghan and Cameron. Three
luns had been scored when. In attempting
to make a short one , Stribllng was run out
and next ball Cameron clean bowled W
VatiEthan with one of his finest , and Im
mediately treated Barber to the s.unu medi
cine. T.ireu good wickets for three runs
was a pretty bad start , but Taylor and
Francis ( jot together and stopped the
"rot" In a most effectual manner , piling
up run after run until they had put to
gether between them sixty runs. Taylor
was caulit : by Hill olT a long drive and
almost next ball Francis was caught In
slips by Lawrln. Both these gentlemen
played well and safely , for tlielr thirty-
one and twenty deserved all the applause
they received.
The Francis contingent had still some
good bats to follow , but. alas ! Cor the un
certainty of the game , only five more runs
were added for the remaining five wick
ets , Vaushan disposing of no less than
four of them In five balls.
Slxty-alx runs to tie and sixty-seven to
win appeared quite nn undertaklne In t'.io '
face of Francis' bow lers and the now un
certain state of the irround , and Sprague
wore ti worried look on his usually happy
countenance when hi1 Sent In Hnrry Now
and .ItlKhelleu to fight his cause. His juv
llrcippvil , however , and 'nls pulse rose to SO
U-hen "Billy" was cean ! howled for a
"duck" by one of SImms' slows. C
VaURhnn was Instructed "do "
to or die" and
he "did , " for he and Harry hit everything
In sl 'ht and when Harry had scored fif
teen In about as many minutes the total
stood nt 51 , with victory in slsht and : i 3G
to 1 smle ! on the captain's face. Cameron
and Vauphnn Increased the score steadily
and after mldlnv elsht bv careful play
Jlmmlo Krncefully retired , " 1. h. w. " L-iw-
rle added one .and was then tincly caught
by Dr. Younir. Sprague followed and to the
captain is due the credit of making t'.ie '
vt inning hit. Judjfo Shields made two and
then paid the penalty of putting a ball in
the air. Ileth added ono and Colvin two
and then Charlie Hill and George Hurst
pot together and .s'Towed their opponents
that they weio not dead , but very much
on earth. Charlie played carefully and hit
well for nine , and George made the biggest
hit of the day to square leg for five and
'had It not been for the house which ob
structed It , might have been rolling yet.
Will Van ? linn bowled very well for his
side , talcing seven wickets for forty-nine
runs.
Mr. Francis , after the game , immediately
challenged Mr. Sprague for a return match
to bo played next Saturday afternoon.
