Tliln Is the last neck of linse ball , and
then comes tha usual exciting nenson of foot
ball nnd among the colleges the sport will
1)6 more furious than ever.
With a game between Harvard and Yale ,
which nlll be played at Cambridge Into In
November , the foot ball enthusiasm of
former jcara will bo taken up. Just at
this time the critics are beginning to wlelif
their pens , already predicting the chances
of Harvard , Yale and the University
of Pennsylvania. The prospects at
Yale , writes ono of the graduates ,
nro gloomier than ever bcforo In the his
tory of "Old Ell ' Without a single ex
ception the mattifita > s of the ' 96 eleven are
no longer In college. All but three of last
jcar'a trams have graduated , und the beat
of these , Captain llodgcrs , will probably too
tinahlo to don his moleskin. The other
vetcrana are Dcnjamln , at present acting
captain , and Ilazcn , an cud rush. It Is only
by courtesy that these men are called veter
ans , for neither has more than a > ear's ex-
pollrnco.
In view of thcso unfortunate circum
stances , c\on the most nangulnc of the
foot ball nlumnl can see nothing ahead
save defeat and disaster. It docs not seen : )
possible that Yale can win against cither
I'llncuton or Harvard. Tlio victorious
team which wore the Tigers' colors In 'Di !
will face Yale again , for onlj three men
have hi en lost by graduation Many of
the crimson stars have bade fircwclt to
Harvard , but her list ol candidates Is
larger nnd Htrotiger than that of her Now
Haven rl\al But despite this handicap the
Yale coichcia have gone bra\cly to work
and expect to turn out at least a creditable
elo\en

not much chance that Captain Hedgers will

nnd In spite of extreme youth Is very strong
Ho Is fast , too , and knows the game. In
casu of accident CJinctt cculd be played
In the center , though the present Inten
tion Is to use him at tackle where he
should play a flno game. Shovor. a now man ,
Is likely to push Goodman bird for tackle ,
but the latter can be well used either at
quarter or end The Idea of playing Boyle
at tackle has been given up. Ho and Ilsdsei
will play the ends Weeks should again
make ( juaitcr , unless Morlce con he played
there. Woodruff wants Moilco at quarter ,
since ho Is a good deep kicker and a good
man to have In the back field Minds and
Outland will surely bo pliyed at halfback ,
unless Morlco Is played in his old place ,
when Minds will go to fullback. Coach
Woodniff wants Minds at half Jackson and
Walker will bo worked hard for fullback ,
with the chances favoring Walker. This
seems to be the most likely makeup at pres
ent , though there aie plenty of men In the
squad to push those mentioned. Then , too
It Is possible that any of the men at pres
ent restricted may be reinstated Any one

Amateur athletics come high , but It seems
hat the west must have them. While Omaha
las never yet cut any figure In national
port , we can all take a large gob of pride
n Chicago She Is a western city and wn
iclong to the west. H coal the Athletic
luh of the Windy City considerably over

\matcur union championship meeting in New

Chicago will tend other attractions cast
I'ho club's foot ball and polo teams will go

The Western league championship season
came to a close last Tuesday , with Indian-
polls leading , followed by Columbus and St.
'aul. The magnates of the organization
\ero In session over at Chicago yesterday ,
and one of the most Interesting subjects ot
llscusslon was the prospective changing ot
ho circuit. Grand Haplds , It was generally
admitted , had been tolerated In the league
ns long as was desirable Aside from the-
Michigan city , no change In the circuit Is'
ll.rly , although there Is some talk of oust-
ng Columbus To nil the vacancj Toledo
s most favorably regarded , on account ot
IB location and Its rlvalrj with Detroit asu
Columbus. Huffalo Is being much talked
N'o formal application has been received , but
io\c n l of the league's big men are anxlouj
o secure- the eastern town and point out
hat Its railroad facilities would offset Its
llstanco from other cities of the clicult.
LH-s Moines and Omaha are mentioned for
ho place , but the eastern cities will fight
heir admission and neither has the slight
est show. The magnates are expectluc
a wholesale drafting at the hands of the
National It-ague within a few dajs , and it
s more tl an llkclj the Western will lose-
all of Its star playois. Indianapolis , as
champion , will sufter moat , but expects Its
connection with Cincinnati v.ll ! save It from
the fnto of Minneapolis , which last jear
est almost all Its c-hnmplon team. The
oaguc has taken to draflng managers , and
Jndlanapolls will lese Watklns. who has
ilre-ady signed to manage a National league
club next jear. Watklns. since he became
connected with the Western league four
seasons ago , has won the pennant for Sioux
City in 1 ! > 94 , Indianapolis In 1893 and 1897 ,
and finished second In 1896 He Is regarded
aa om > of the hist controllers of ball play
ers in the business Indianapolis will also
lose uianj ot Its players. Gear , Phillips , Mc-
Carth } and Mcrarland are practically
certain to go'to Cincinnati , although Chicago
wants McCarthj. Gray has already been
secured by I'ltt burg , and Stewart , the old
Ohlcagoan , by Louisville. St. Louis Is after
Motz , and Is likely to got him. Cincinnati ,
t IB said , has also gobbled up Stelnfcldt and
Halm of the Detroits. and Is after Mcnrldo
of the St Pauls Plttsburg gets Ganzol. a
young brother of the veteran catcher , from
"Srand Haplds , and Mcrtcs of Columbus goes

An International chess tournament began
at llerlln last Monday. The number of en
tries was llmltc'd to twenty. The partici
pants Include most of the masters who have
Lakon part In the recent tournaments At
; ho same time It Is noticeable that Laskcr ,
Stolultz and Tarrasch , three of the "big
'our , " which also Includes Tschlgorln , are
not entered , \\hlch [ a also true of Plllsbuiy
and Maroczy. In fact , there Is no repre
sentative from this country. There are sev
eral names not noticed In recsnt tournejs
viz , Alnpln , who Is unquestionably a strong
pla > cr ; Care , Colin , Zlnkl , Engllsch , who
played a match of five games with Plllsbury ,
all the games being drawn ; and Metger and
Suochtlng , who recently won first and second
pilzcs in a masters' tourney at Altona ,
Germany. niacUbuine the English master ,
was ahead at the end of the fourth round ,
having won all four games scheduled , one
ganm having been ivon from Tschlgorln
Then follow in a bunch Walbrodt , Janowskl ,

tournament will last two weeks more , ono
round being played each day , except Sunday.
Hamburg , the racing wonder of the age ,
the western colt whose record of continuous
victories has never been equaled , whose only
defeats have been either by aged horses or
because the great colt wns not allowed to
follow his own Incllnitlons and set his onn
pace , hns likely faced the starter's flag for
the last tlmo this year Ho has started In
sixteen races and has been first twelve times ,
rccond three times and third once , never
finishing outside the monoy. His purse and
Htalto winnings amount to almost $10.000 ,
and John Madden , his owner , has won largo
amounts on him , for ho has been ono of the
best betting propositions over known on
the American turf Had ho been eligible , ho
would have undoubtedly added the rich
futurity to his string of victories.
While n tremendous concourse of people
witnessed each day's racing at the fair
grounds last week , and whlln there were a
number of exceptionally Interesting events ,
the lack of enthusiasm was something re
markable , What cheering and demonstra
tion there was was ronlined almost ex
clusively to children's day. The little ones
ciowded the grand stand llko bees about &
hho , and being easily pleased they loosened
their llttlo voices ill' one grand dlaphason
of applause every time the horses approached
the stretch It llttlo mattered whether
they vvcra strung out like a war-time demo
cratic procptslon or wore well bunched , It
vvas all ono ftnd the same to them. On
the other four days the big crowds sat silent
nnd passive throughout the curd , occasion
ally a rattling finish evoking a bluff at ap-
plaimo. This Is all the moio rumarkablb
when It Is taken Into consideration that the
bulk of competing horses were Nebraska
bred , nnd that the arrangements for each
day had bcon carefully attended to by
Superintendent Mount and an especial effort
madn to run the events oft In as quick suc
cession as possible , The weather was beau
tiful and the track superb all through tbo
week. On the first day Lewis Wllkes , a '
handsome bay stallion owned by C. U Cot
ton ot Syracuse , thle state , took tboyear -
old trot without on-co being urged , and at
that ho reduced the state record from 2-27 %
to 2.219 * in the llrst heat. Nellie U , . an i
Iowa production , took the 2.35 pace , her best '
tlmo being 216'4. ; On the second day Jack E
Curry' * little bird of a bay mare , Annl B ,
from Itcrt Oak , won the 3-jfar-old trot , but
thu vvas troubled excucdlngly in doing It ,
Keystone winning the flrit heat In 2:20 and i
losing the last to Anna through a bad break i
just before reaching the wire The 2:14 : pace |
was won by Happy Mar.onned by 12 K.
Kcutner ot Tails City , in three btralght
heats 2.12V4 , 2 ULi , 2:15 : Another Ne
braska horse , North Star , owned by C E , '
Morse , Columbus , won the 2.30 trot on the )
same day , makirg the tlrst heat In 2-194. i
The ; 1C trot Wednesday was won by K. L. \ I
Garrlron'a bay mare , lionulo n , of Sutton ,
Neb. , beating a field containing such hortes :
s Heir Medium , Hurly Burly , Holla Popplu , , |
West and Maldeno. Bonnie's best heat was i
inn third , 3 1354. The 2 09 pace , the race of
the week , was won by Roy the Kid a 1
llttlo gray gelding from Kevvauee , III , ,
who made the firm heat in 2 08. |
Local horses did not cut A very flattering
J figure on the fourth day. Lottie Smart and >
. ; Roberts , Denver horses , carried off the 2-yeur-
| I old , trot and 2 23 pace , respectively , while
Delmont ; , an Illinois representative copped
the ; 2 10 trot. The Uttcr's performance was
quite creditable The first was In 2 14 } ; , ,
second. 2H'i : , and third , 2:14. : On the last' ' '
day Al Hussell's B M. G. won the 2-year-old
pace , and the Columbus horse. North Star , ,
the 2 40 trot The most Important and '
Interesting feature of the whole racing
.week , , however , was the performance of i
Hilly : Paxton's phenomenal yearling , "Tho '
Merchant. " On the fourth day -McCoy was
instructed to give the youngster a fast half , '
with the idea of beating the state record ,
which up to that time was 1-17H After \
warming up of a mlle McCoy was sent '
off amidst the handclapplng of I
Interested horsemen The handsome little
boy by his graceful speedy move , soon con
vinced the onlookers that he Intended to
smash the Nebraska record Into smithereens ,
and a half hundred watches were pulled on
him as he came sailing down to the wlro
like n bird on the wing A ringing round of
applause went up when Starter McCrary an
nounced that The Merchant had made the
half In the phenomenal tlme.ot 1 13VA , beatIng -
Ing the record by four nnd ono quarter seconds

colt of the day Ho la a clean-llmbod little
fellow , n beautiful bay , and showing all the
points ot careful breeding. Ho Is by Mr.

Next Monday night Dick O'Brien , the
Mnlno welterweight , nnd Frank Craig , the
"Harlem Coffee Cooler , " meet In a twenty-
round contest In Birmingham , Kngland. and
the gen'lum of color aught to win. O'Bilen
is n hurricane fighter and a good man , still
fchort of the Cooler's capabilities , who will
certainly prove too fast for him. The New
Knglander , however , may be depended on to
give the coon a "hot time In ole town' while
the thing prog'cises , for he Is fully oblu to
keep the best ot them busy tor a time. He
Impresses ono with the Idea that ho Is a
great man , but nil his flght with flrst-c'asser *
disprove this , Walcott bent him twlco In a
thorough way , and both Crecdon and McCoy
also recorded defeats against htm. In his
tight with the latter he had less than a week's
( trepanation , but at that at time" , ho had
the Hoosler Kid nil but licked. O'Brien Is
anything but a fancy boxer. Ho fights from
the drop ot the hot and makes It a gallop
always He lacks ring goncralehlp and after
a lively tussle the Cooler should boat him ,
as Creedon and McCoy beat him , by letting
him fight himself out.
For about the forty-eleventh tlmo since

Antipodean Ho acts Hko a dying man grab

material aid from the public. His late un

SYRACUSE , Sept. 21 To the Sporting
Hditor of The Bee : I Intended to
write you before about my last meeting
with Kid McCoy , but have bad sickness In
my family and had to delay it. I do not
want you to think that I am tooting my own
clarionet when I tell you that the "coming
champion of the world , " Kid McCoy , would
have been put on the retired list had not the
fight been stopped As It is he has no cause
to complain , which I will prove to you If
wo ever meet again. It over a man was
going the Kid was In that fifth round A
couple of moro good smashes well , you have
seen 'em go He got what reputation ho has
by beating me when all my friends In New
York knew I was not flt. But that was nil
my own fault , and I do not Intend to ever
bo caught that way again. I am ready and
anxious to meet McCoy again on the same
terms of our last meeting , but you wnlt
until he consents , will you ? I maybe
bo out your way before long , and If I do , of
course I will stop over a day or so.
The defeat of Kddy Connolly by On en
Zelgler in San Francisco recently creatad
llttlo surprise In the circles In which the
merits of the men are fully appreciated , sayo
George Tuohcy. Besides a superiority la
weight , the Phlladelphlan posse'tes cleverness
of a higher degree than Connolly , and the
further fact that Connolly vvas trained and
handled by strangers vaunted against him.
This point was also shown In Eddy's battle
with Jack Daly at New York , when , accord
ing to those who snvv Uie contest , he wa *
lucky to escape defeat. Zelgler Is moro of a
mlddlo than a lightweight , and Connolly's
j handler showed mighty poor Judgment when
' they made the match. "With a big handicap
In weight , Connolly made a gallant defense
fighting every Inch of the way and forcing
the Quaker City man to do his utmost to
win the referee's verdict. The result of the
contest U no dlegiaco to the Bostonian ; on
llio contrary. It is quite to lilfl credit that hu
was on his feet at the end of the twentieth
lound a f ntcnder for first honors and the
big end ot the money until the Int-t second
had passed With good judgment shown In
matchmaking I rcgaid CJily Connolly as being
mighty clcfo to a champion In his class , but
ho cannot hope to bo successful when he
faces welter and mlddlevv eights.
After all the George Dlxon-Solly Smith

The chicken season is now well advanced
and the wild fowl season Is rapidly coming
on , and hunting parties are busily engaged
preparing for their annual encampment In
the various game regions ot the state. The
Big Four club , composed of Hugh Mc-
Cafiery , Frank Burkloy , William M. Bush
man and Tom C. iminer , arc all ready to
lake the field. They will leave the latter
uart of the aecond week in October for a
ten days' camp near Orcoley Center. They
will shoot chicken and grouse hero , then
move on to lrlclson : for another ten days
stop with the wild fowl. Bass fishing , It Is
said , will also bo found excellent In the
chain of lakes near this latter station dur
ing Ootober , and the Big Four nro anticipat
ing an unusually profitable outing. Colonel
J. J. Dickey. W. P. McParlane , Fred Blake
and ono or two other genial spirits have
completed arrangements for their autumnal
outing In South Dakota. They will leave fop
the grounds the first week In October. A
week later the iXIcrgaurer club , Major George
U Sintell of Philadelphia and Dr. A. N.
Danols of Brooklyn , N. Y. , and Charlie
Mutz. Tom Foley , George Scrlbner and S.
O. V. Grlswold of this city , will move on to
camp Billy Bennett on the Lake Creek
marshes on the Big White river. During the
latter part of the same month Will D Townsend -
send will pilot a party of gunners to the
famous ducking grounds south ot Valentine.
Judge IVCB M A. Hill , Charlie Goss , Dr.
Connor and James A. Sundcrland will make
their fall expedition to the sandhills country
early In the month The Ives party has
ono of the finest camping outfits owned In
the west , second only to that of A. C ,
Claflln. Mr. C. . by the way , has just re
turned fiom an extended trip to the bass
and muakallungc waters of northern Min
nesota.
Never before In the history of shooting nnd
fishing have the western railroads devoted
much attention to sportsmen , nnd It Is not.
to bo wondered at when you consider the
patronage the roads get , from this class
The Union Pacific B. & M. nnd Klkhorn
liavo not better customers than the sports-
men. The nature of t ielr recreation
obliges a largo number of them to travel ,
and In a large majority of cases they arc
men whose means enables , thcm to Indulge
their deslro to journey " "from plice to place
in search of their favorltq pistlme The
railroads appreciate this fact , and the fur
ther one that the sportsman Is always con
sidering tbo trip which' ' ho Is on the point
of making , or is planning , 'often ' a year or
two in advance , the onc'nc has in contempla.
tlon. To him the saving of tlmo Is the
great object. "Ho wants t6 leave his busl-
ne s at the last moment , to "go " by the quick
est and shortest routeto''his destination ,
there to take to the field or vvater , and spend
Ills vacation far from the turmoil and cares
of this city. Thou , wllcn the time for re
turning comes , ho wan'ts ' td hurry back as
fast as possible to the humdrum of business
life. Whether ho desires to kill elk and
bear In the Hochles , wild fowl In the Dakotas -
kotas , or grouse and ohlDteii In tfits state
nnd Wyoming , to catch bass In Minnesota
or tarpon In the tropical twatcrs , he wishes
to go by the quickest and easiest route , ana
ho Is always trying to get Information about
the best means of transportation. As gauiu
and fish become more scarce the sportsman
Is compelled to go fuither and further for
his recreation. It Is well within bounds
to say that the number of men who an
nually make lonss trips north , east , wwt and
south In search of sport Is now ten times
what It vvas ten years ago , and this number
Is increasing and will continue to liicreaso
each year. This Increase will benefit the
railroads by adding to the travel over their
lines , and as now routes are opened aud
competition grows moro keen , It will bo moro
than over Important for them to bring to
the notice of their sporusmoa patrons the
advantages of their routes. As there Is
no traveler more Important to the railroads
than the sportsman , st > there Is no ono who
Is so dependent on the railroads as ho Is.
To him up to the tlmo when he reaches
the last station on the line time and com
fort are e-verythlns , and he Is willing to
pay liberally for quick tlmo. good service
and the best accommodations. Thess ho
insists on having , and to tbo credit of the
railroads , bo It said , ho almost always gets
thorn ,
When standing within a few yards of the
gun's muzzle at the time of discharge a
person would bo astonished weie he able to
see the shot as they go whizzing by. ex
periments In Instantacoous photography have
pioved that the shot not only spread out ,
comet-like , ss they fly , but they string out
ono behind the other to a much greater dls-
tanco than they spicad. Thus , with a cylin
der gun , when the first fchot of a. charge
roaches a target that Is forty yards away the
last ehot is lagging nlong ten yaids behind.
IJven with a choke-bsrc gun some of tha
small shot will lay behind eight yards In
forty. This accounts foi the wide swath
that Is mowed In a flock of ducks on which
a chaige of shot falls just light. About 5
per cent ouly of the chaigu of shot arrive
simultaneously at the target , but the balance
of the first half of the charge Is so clcso
behind that a bird's muscles are not quick
enough to get It out of the way , ilthoush
those who have watched bitting birds when
shot at have often seen them start as If to
fly when the leading shot whistled by them ,
only to drop dead as they were overtaken
by the leaden hall that followed.
The hunting schooner Rattler arrived at
San Francisco on September 17 , from the
Arctic seas , having secured twenty-six sea
otter fcklns and 193 fur seals Captain Noll-
son declares that otters are becoming very
scarce Ho got ono sltrn that Is entirely
white , the first ono cvprtalton , according
to the hunters. The cqnvontlonal color of
the sea otter Is black , , ipklns being hero

There has been a grc'al1 ' Increase this
season In the demand * for "pump" guns ,
and many sportsmen ar.o Maying asldo good
double barrels to arm 'themselves with
repealers. The fact that' { ho latter are
cheap and that their shodtlrtg qualities can
not bo excelled has helprtP'out ' the trade.

Reports from all parts of the country are
to the effect that there are moro quail and
rabbits this year than have been known
for a decade. The breeding season has been
a perfect one , and the outlook for November
shooting li bright.
Guns and ammunition have kept In line
with othei things In a general advance In

as high as they were two or three years

Some newspiper writers arc now talking
about the possibility of n match between
Champion Pigeon Shot J A. H. Klllott and
John L. Hrovvcr , says the Philadelphia Llfo.
Such tilk Is nonsense. If John U Brewer
wants to nhoot a match with Hlllott why
don't he challenge him for the Du Pont
trophy or Kansas City "Star" cup nnd post
i foifelt at the same time ? Then , If ho has
Backers who want to wager money on * the
csult , they can put up all the extra cash
they can find takers for. Tills Is the only-
way that a match can bo arranged between
? hamplon J. A. H. Hlllott and Captain John
j. Brow or. Some reporters still continue
o call Brovvcr a champion shot , but we have
tot neen any medals pinned to his breast
'or ' a long time ; and a champion must pos
sess a cup or medal to figure as a champion
nowadays. J. A. R. Klllott has Ukon the
right course to acquire the title of chim-
plon , and whenever J. I. Brewer or any
( ther man wants the title they will have
.0 defeat J. A. H. nillott , and he stands
eady to accept all challenges at any time

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Ponltlvo Cure for U ) ipc i ln. >
This may read ns though wo were putting
It llttlo strong because It Is generally
thought by the majority of people that dyin
pcpsla In Its chronic form is Incurable , or
practically so But we- have long since show a
that dyspr sla is curable , nor Is It such e ,
difficult mnter ns at first oppears.
The tioublo with dyspeptics U that they
are continually dieting , etaivlnc themselves ,
or going to opposite extremes or else deluging
the already ovor-burdened stomach with "bit.
tors. " "after dinner pills , " etc , which In
variably Increase the difficulty , even If la
some cases they do glvo a slight temporary
relief Such treatment of the stomach slm * .
ply makes matters worse. What the stomach
wants Is a rest Now how can the stomach ,
become rested , recuperated and at the same
tlmo thu body nourished nnd sustained.
This Is the great secret and this Is ftlf
the secret of the uniform success of Stuart'
Dyspepsia Tablets This Is a comparatively
new remedy , but Us success and popularity
loaves no doubt as to Its merits.
Tlio tablets will digest the food anyway ,
egardlcss of condition of stomach.
The sufferer Iiom dyspepsia according to
directions Is to cat an abundance ot good ,
wholesome food nnd use tbo tablets before
and after each meal and the result will b
that the food will be digested , no matter
how bad your dyspepsia may be , because ,
as bcforo stated , the tablets will digest the
food place It In a temperature of 93 doTe -
To Illustrate our meaning plainly , If you
take 1,800 grains of meat , eggs or ordinary
food and place it in atempcraturo ot 98 de
grees and put with It one of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets it will digest the moat or
eggs almost as p rfectly as if < the meat WAI
enclosed within the stomach.
The stomach may bo over so weak yel
these tablets will perform the work of diges
tion and the body and brain will bo properly
nourished and at tha same tlmo radical ,
lasting cure of dyspepsia wll be made
because the much abused stomach will b
given , to Bomo extent , a much needed rost.
Your diugglot will toll you that of the many
re'medles advertised to cure dyspepsia , none
of them has given so complete and gonera\ \
satisfaction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not least in Importance In thoio hard
times Is the fact that they are also tha
cheapest and give the most good for the
least money.

IT HEALS WOMEN.
McEIree's Wine of Cardui is a bitter ,
vegetable wine , with extraordinary tonic
qualities. Its peculiar tendency tostrength-
en and regulate the generative or , men
strual organs has made it the most valu
able remedy for diseases peculiar to wo
men , of modern medical discoveries. It
does not force a result , but simply restores
the organs to a healthy condition , and
they perform their function as nature in
tended. It is as useful during pregnancy
as at other times , acting as a preventive
of miscarriage , strengthening the genera
tive organs , and toning up the whole system. It relieves
the pains endured by so many women every month , cures
suppressed or irregular return of the menses , checks flood
ing and too frequent menstruation ; cures whites , bearing
down pains , falling of the womb , and soothes monthly
ovarian disturbances. Above all , it is a harmless tonic
that should be used by every woman in the world during
