The second annual championship meeting
of tlio Northwestern Cricket association
opens up nt St. Paul on Wednesday afternoon -
noon next , and all Indications point to a
largely attended and au unusually success
ful tournament. On the Initial day the
Omaha team will go against the famous
Wlnnlpcgi ) , nnd while- their chances for vic
tory are exceedingly attenuated , they should
not surrender before a. hall has been bowled ,
but RO Into the contest with all the con
fidence In the world and with the determina
tion to flfiht on until the last score In made ,
There Is one thing -certain , nnd that Is that
the Oslo City will neiid a far better
team to St Paul tomorrow than she sent
to Chicago Inst year , nnd 1 haven't n bit
of iloiibt but what they will gl\e both ftllnne-
rota , nnil Chlcngo a run for their money.
The ttain which will depart for the Minnesota
seta capital tomoriow nfteinoon consists of
11. Vaughan , captain , John Trancls , J. Nenl ,
11. Lnvvilo , 0 Vuughaii , H W Tnvlor. Ilnrry

look over the field ami make all nrraiiRU-
ments for quartern and accommodations for
thu t < am. , , ,
While I think the Winnipeg team , which
In cutaluly ono of the most formidable In
cither the United States or British America ,
will defeat the Omahaa , tin re Is always a
ehaneo especially If they go Into the field
coKiilrnnt of thla fact. If they go In with
the Idea that defeat Ib a fori'Rone con-
cluslon , howcve'r , the Manitoba lads will
simply ' "op up the earth with ,
them. Kaet jcar Chlcigo dcmon-
Etralctl wlat her nbllltlta were , so far
as the Nehiaskans were concerned also , but
the Windy City crew will not fnro so well
thlR trip. ! U she will ho compelled to face
n much htrongu front than before , feucn a
thing might hu th.it Omaha will defeat both
of her Btunig rivals , but If slit fullIn ! this
laudable nlm , the members -u-e sure of n
roval gooil time , foi thcj do nothing hv
hnlves In St I'aul. Tlie principal deddencv
with the Omahaa Is their puerile batting
Their fielding nud bowling la capital , but
when It comes to m.ildng runs they fall
down What they want to do this week Ti to
taho n braci- and show the othci teams that
they are going to hid for the champion-ship
If they do this there Is no fc.ir hut what
they will nirtUc n highly creditable record
The week's card Is aa follows
August 1 .Minnesota against Chicago nnd
Winnipeg against Omaha.
August 5 Minnesota agalnat Omnhn and
Winnipeg against Chicago
August 0 Minnesota ngilnst Winnipeg
and Chicago against Omaha
August 7 Canada against the United
States.
The chirping of the Irrepressible cricket on
the hearth among other things Intimates
that Captnln Vaughan should get arlOb
and explain to Jack Nealo how it Is that an
Ice wagon gets o\er the ground so fast.
That the Inability of Kid Sprague to take In
the St. I'aul expedition weakens the tp.im
considerably , and that Captain Vaughan had
bettor talto him whether or no. That It
wouldn't ho a bad Idea to know In advance
who Is going to keep the wickets up there
That the team must do as well as the Thlrstj
nlllm did In Texas or jump Into the river.
That those rallioaders must look up a little
That out , of the crowd tnat Is going up no
less than t.en nre bowlers , and that they
ought to he able to get Winnipeg out some
way or other before the end of. the week.
During tno week of August 2 to 7 , In
clusive , the annual meet of the League of
American Wheelmen will he held In Phila
delphia. It Is expected that the attendance
of League of American Wheelmen members
will be the largest In the history of the
leaguo's annual meets Tour century runs

lor the benefit of New York cyclists desiring
to attend. The runs will bo under tlu
ausnlces of the Associated Cycling Clubs and
will Iea\o on August 4. 6 , 6 and 7. On
August 8 the Now York centurions will Join
In a grand return century run to Now York
leaving Philadelphia In four divisions at In
tervals ) of fifteen minutes. Hospitable Phila
delphia cyclists desire all vlsltmg wheelmen
to bring their bicycles without fall. Further
more they arc requested to bring lamps and

called an all-night smoker. On this hazj
occasion 100,000 cigarettes may ho consumed
Jf the cyclUts so desire , und each wheelman
oreaent will receive- two-ounce package of
smoking tobacco and a pipe. A ccntlnuouc
vuudcvillp performance will do Its best to
loom Into sight through the smoke. On
Frldiy night , August 6 , there will bo a
sneclal wheelmen's night at ancaiby summei
resort. Wheels of all kinds will spin in

oart of turnpike dhectors In the neighbor
hood of Philadelphia.
The arrangements for a scries of races be
tween Charles H. Kllpjtrlck , the mutinies *
lialf-mllu American champion , with U C
Bredln , the Hngliah champion , have all bfcn
perfected , thu dates bulng fixed for Augtut
2. 9 und 11. Some grounds In the north o (
Dnglind or Scotland will bo selected for UK
first 'race , which will bo at COO yards The. '
half-mile will h ? rui on Monday evening ,
August ! ) . at Stamford Bridge , London , anJ
as this Is considered the crucial test of th
men's abilities , an enormous crowd Is ex
peeled. The place for the third event , 1,003
jards , has not jot been selected. Kadi
match Is for ? 250 a aide and an equal percent
age of the gate receipts The reports say
that Kllpatrlck looks well , and that both ho
and the people handling him for the races
are satisfied with hh trials against the watch.
He Is likely to have ninny engagements after
meeting llredln , as professional running Is
enjoying an Immense boom on the other aide ,
10000 to 25,000 spectators attenllng a pro-
f&3slim.il match. Among the matchra talked
of Is one at 1,000 yards between P. 13. IJacon ,
the fairous long diatanca man , and Kll
Patrick , and It Is alho eald that Clllott , the
English ( juartcr-inllo champion , will turn
proferalonal and elullcngo Kllpatrlck , Ths
latter event should to won with the greatest
caju by the American ,
At a meeting of the directorate of tht *
Omaha Tennis club last cvenlue , Messrs. Sam
Caldwell , Oeorge Huvorsllck. Hey Austin , H ,
H , Young and Fred Lake were appointed a
committee to take exclusive charge of the
approaching Interstate tournament , which
will open up on the Hartley street court *
Wednesday , August 17 , There Is little , If
any doubt , but what this will he the crownIng -
Ing event In local tennis annals , as the com
mittee will leave no stone unturned looking
to this commendable accomplishment. There
will be a much stronger array of local play
er * than over before , while dtotlngulshed
visitors will be here from Chicago and other
western cities , and a sptriidtd week's sport
hi Inevitable. The late successful city tour
nament accomplished much In cementing the
tics of fraternal Interest among the \arlous
local organizations and It Is expected that
all will uniteIn an effort to make the Inter
state affair a brilliant success.

In reply to a correspondent asking for
Information about the prince of Wales' great
hcrse , Persimmon , I will say that the prince
has always been a great patron of uport ot
all kinds and for many ycaia haa taken a
decided Interest la racing. In 1SS7 the
prince gathered a. small but select stud nt
Sandrlngham nnd since then has raced Its
produce. Tlorlzel II was the firat good colt
bre-d on the farm , but the next year his own
brother. Persimmon , watt foaled. He showeJ
great spml as a 2-year-old. When 3 yearn
old he waa given * < peclal preparation tor
the Derby and was not utirted until the
big race In which In a ding-dong finish he
f.ilrly outRimed Mr. Leopold do llottuchlld's
odcon ! farorlte , St. Prustjuln. The scene'
after the race was one of the most memorable
In turf history. The hell * apparent to the
Drltlth empire , Kit In hand , led his colt I
bar > k to the paddock ntnld such n storm ut
cheers as has hardly ever been heard on a
racecourse. Persimmon won the St Loser and
other classic races la t season , and thli > cir
as a 4-year-old has captured the highest
honors and money , 150,000 , In the great'
Krllpse lucent Sandonn park In the early
history of the Derby It was won byi
the prince of Wale ? ' Sir Thomas , but that
was a long while ago In 17SS ird with that
exception the royal family has never been
succe'sful In canning off the blue ribbon
of the turf.
The members ot the Manhattan Chess
club propose submitting a chess code they
have under consideration ( or the Inspection
of American chess clubs and their players
The code , although called the "American
Chess Code , " Is said to be an exact counter I
part ot a code published by an English
corporat'on the llrltleh Chess company a
buslne s concern , devoid of nuthcrlty and re
sponsibility. This particular code met any
thing but a flattering reception In the laud
of Its birth at the time of Its publication ,
just about a year ago , the tcason being that
chess plajcrs generally considered that a
pilvato concern had no right to change the
accepted mode of chess play Used In Interni-
tlnrol contests While thciv Is a good reason
for n eodc being established Iti \ doubtful
whether American plavcrs will permit the
New York club to fasten upon them a set
of rules containing varloi's vagirlca , espe
cially oa the- only American flavor about It
Is the copyright pi election secured by the
Manhattan club.

do your best to help along your partner. The
latter 's ' done when you return partner's lead
In order to quicker establish hla suit. If

While Omaha doesn't seem to make any
vciy considerable headway with golf , the
game has certainly made giant strides in
this country v.Ithin the past two years. The
links at Happj * Hollow , which ale patron
ized hut onceor twlco a week , are the only-
golf grounds that thu < > far have been re
ported In the whole state , and there doesn't
seem to be any very nlaimlng danger of
the Scottish pastime supplanting such sports
as base ball , tennis , cricket , bicycling 01
A score of other outdoor exercises pecullai
to the locality that might be mentioned
When Young America takes hold of any
thing , however , It may tie said to go , no
matter what the merlto of the matter may
be. Golf , as we all Know , Is a very ancient
game- , and It will probably sound lather
stiange to hear that the sport has made
greater advancement In this country since
its first notable induction four years ago
than It has made in the old country in half
a century. It has been taken up by the
Boasldo fashionables on this side with n
most astonUlUng gusto , and the consequence
Is that It has beca given n boom that Is
really marvelous. If left to the athletes of
America , the game would he about as pop
ular ns that blood-curdling sport known n"
"Pussy-wnnts-a-corner. " But theie Is no
denying that the game Is both n pretty nnd
a beneficial ono , nnd. deserving of iccognl-
tion at the hands of those who love the
blue sky , summer breezes and the sights
and sounds of rurality better than they do
the hot pavements and fultry atmosphere
of the crowded city. It is muscle-build
ing and chest-expanding , stiengthcnliig and
healthful , and requires just the aamo de
gree of skill to play It well as Is required
In any relative outdoor competition or
pastime , and I think it has come to stay.
There Is certainly a rallying of the pugl-
lUtlc lirals out In the city of the Golden
Gate , and the approaching fall and winter
promise to fairly hrlstlo with exciting con
tests As to the by-play of one Wllllo Brady
and Dallas Dan Stuart about rival autumnal
cainlvals at Carson City and Heno , It in
unworthy of notice , There Is no more chance
for n fea&t of Hamazan within the confines
of the sago brush utnto than ( hero Is for
Bill Bryan's coining the rays of the moon
Into silver dollars Stuart , ns I said lnt
week , got a sufficiency of that sort of fun
IB-it March , and as Wllllo Brady went broke
on the same occasion , It Is hard to believe
he wants to RU hack and get boiuo more of
it. Ills claims that ho has secured Maher
and Sharkey and Creedon and McCoy are
about as gauzy as the balaneo of the tale.
Dan Lynch Is now In New York for the
purposeof being present at the opening of
the bids for the Maher-Sharkey contest on
tomorrow , and not until Tuesday morning
will It be known who gets the fight. After
this has been determined Lynch will return
to 'Frisco for the purpose of securing fights
for Kddlo Connelly and Tim Linslng ,
who have recently been added to his
stable , and who are now In 'Frisco. Lansing

The biggest event now within the- books
is the forthcoming fight between , Tommy1
Hyan and Kid McCoy. They have been
matched to meet on the ovcnlng of Sep
tember 8 , before the Empire club nf Syra
cuse , N. V AB confident as McCoy has
pretended to bo In his ability to polish Hyan
off In. a second encounter , he steadfastly re
fuses nil of Tom's overtures for another
meeting unless the latter would agree that
the weight limit should bo 15S pounds.
Hynn challenged the Hoe lcr for a flght at
156 , which was a big concession In Itself ,
yet the- Kid would not have It that way. H
must be at mlddlew'elghts with him or no
fight. All of which proves that the foxy
Indlanlan doeo not have the Implicit faith
In his ability to dispose of Hyan again that
ho ha * so loudly and so frequently pro
claimed Let's see. It was ono year ago
list .March when McCoy knocked Hyan out
at Ma peth , L I , after fifteen rounds of
fierce lighting Up to the tenth , nnd even
In the eleventh round , Hyan had the best of
it ; In fnct. In the sixth and seventh odds on
Hyan found no takers But he began to
tire In the tenth , and McCoy began to Jnb
him and run away , and by these tactlca he
had the ex-ChlcaRoan en Que < ! r stiect early
In the twelfth round , and from that time
on whipped him as 1io pleased , getting In
the coup de ginco In the fifteenth Hynn was
badly whipped , hut left the ring a wiser
man He had had McCoy foi a opart Ing
partner for oeveril vvetka prior to this la
mentable meeting nnd had taught him all
IIP knew , und when the Kid proposed to
meet him to n fln'sh ' Hyaij nt first took It ns
n Joke but the Kid petl tl ig , finally con
vinced him of his cnrnostncii" , and ho made
the match And that was about all there
was to It. Hyan had n full month for pie-
paintory work but resting serene In the
bcllpf that ho had a snap , Tommy trained
hut Indifferently nnd the nluht of March
G found him fat and flabby and In poor con
dition for n long journey with a dancing
master liVe MeCoy. Ever since that night
Hyaa has firmly believed that
ho la McCoy's mnnter , and he
has been unceasing In his endeavors to get
on a return maleh He has at last got It
nnd the quail Ion now Is , what is he going
to do with It. To me. it looks ns If Tommy
had slightly overreached himself , but I hopt
not. McCoy has Impiovcd Immeasurably
slnco that mcmoiable night on Long Island
and , while I think all the talk about hlr >
being able to cope with such men nc
Choynsl.i Is the silliest of twaddle , I do think
ho is good enough to go against any welter
weight that ever lived , nud Hyan must not
fall to get Into the best possible condition
Prom nil the matches McCoy has made In
the last twelvemonth he hns emerged on top
every time nnd It will take a careful man
In beat him aj his weight. There is some
thing freakish about McCoy'o fighting that
has puzzled Hie most of his opponents. He
docs a lot of finessing and a lot of footwork
Ho wears his antagonist down by ducking
a > ad jumping and running , by long-drawn-out
fiddling and feinting. There Is seldom a
clatter and a tmlx-up when his adversary Is
yet strong. He wnlts until the symptorno of
fatlguo mo unmlsrakahle , then he steps In
and a halt-arm hook , straight jolt or uppercut -
cut generally does the work. He Is a denger-
oi's man sure enough , especially for aspirants
of Hy an's caliber , but the latter has my best
wishes and Ifr ho deco win he will make a
good runr.ing tmato for freckled Robert , the
premier ot thani all.

Jack McAuHrte Is again upon his uppers
and thinks hd1 wants to flght Lavlgne. Jnck
evidently hasja co\iple of mote thinks com
ing. I do not Know where the Miehigander
would find an caMcr mark than the oncu
famous Wllllmsburger. He should bo will
ing to let Jack name the weight , time and
place , and , if he wasn't satisfied then , give
him a raor. If McAulllTe knows on. which
sldo his bun la greased he'll steer clear of
the ring for the balance of his days. There
aio twenty lightweights In the country who
can make a ring-tailed monkey of him. He
has retired and my advice is to remain re-
tlied. Of course It is hard to live without
catinK , but Jack had better resort to baled
hay rather than reach for pie via the stuffed
glove route This all sounds funny when
you recall what MCAullffe was in the days of
auld laiiKsyne the greatest lightweight who
evei pulled a shirt over hla back. I shall
never forget the night he swatted Billy
Myer to sleep down In New Orleans That
was the cleanest , the lovelies , ! fight I ever
saw , and , what was best of all , I copped out
expenses on It. But I cannot help but make
light of Jack's fistic pretensions at this day
and age. He might answer yet awhile in a
barroom turn-up , but the ring , and rules ,
never. Ho should think of John L. and
Dernpscy , aye , and Jim Corhctt , too , anil
go oft somewhere and go to work.
Jack E'verbardt , the clever Molasses City
lightweight , and a fighter from Flghtersburg
and Spider Kelly , will clash In a twenty-
lound go before' one of the California cluba
next Wednesday evening. They are to flght
at ono thirty-eight for 50 per cent of tin
grcss receipts , and I look for Bvcrhardt lo
cop the long end of the coin. Kelly , to be-
sure , Is a terrific puncher , but ho hates
like the devil to get punched himself , and as
no man over faced New Orleans Jack with
out getting this medicine In allopathic daies
I expect to hear of his quitting before half
the distance Is traversed.

Hla successes slnco leturnlng to the other

to suggest a match with Pedlar Palmer ,
tho- undisputed holder of the title , Both

H the protfpeqlH for a fair crop of pralrlo
chicken thld fall are good , they are far better
for an unprecedented crop of quail. From
all parts of the stao ( where tbo birds have
hitherto abounded in considerable numbers
come reports that nothing like It has been
known for ten years , if ever before. All
through the summer months the birds have
been seen In unuoiial numbers , and as thu
seaaon of nidlficatlon could not have been
more favorable , It la easily understood how
tbo bevies of young birds never were fo
plentiful. A farmer who resides not over
fifteen miles from thla city told mo yester
day that no leas than three broodj were
hatched out In a twenty-acre bay field near
his house , and that thera were as many more
cu his farm alone , lie tsald be had never
seen so many old birds as he saw this spring
and summer , and predicted that , with no
unforeseen backset , Nebraska would see the
biggest quail crop thU fall ever known In
the history of the state. Thl * la certainly
all very gratifying to sportsmen , a large
number of whom would rathdr shoot quail ,

then that vague. Indefinable yearning , that
