Managir 1'rank II. Knight of the Omaba
Jllgh Scliool Athletic association reports
considerable Interest In the movement to
farm an liiterscliola tlc Koot Hall asoocla-
tlon for next year. Ho 1ms already received
letters fioni tin ; foot ball managers of the
align school elevens at Miuoln. Hi'd Oak and
Weal Point. All of these letters show that
the scheme suggested by The Iloo about n
month ago Is well thought of and
jirartlcally Insures Iho formation
of the proposed league. llefore a
meeting 18 called to perfect plans for the
organisation It Is desired to hear from
Nebraska City and Council Ilufls.If both
of these high schools art ! likewise favorable
to the scheme , a league- consisting of six
1 Jims will bo formed at once In order that
n rhcdulo of games for the next season
. < ty ho prepared. With the High school
luul ball teams of Omaha , Lincoln , Council
IWiiffs , Nebraska City , Rod Oak and West
1'olnt bound together In healthful rivalry ,
wo should zee a Gratifying advance In the
fipott next fall. The advantages of such n
union nr ; as many us they areicod , and IVivn
already been mini cm ted by this dcpart-
) cnt. Superintendent 1'carsi1 of the Omaha
publlo schools Is In favor of cui-h u league ,
and bclluiiH It would da much to Improve
pti.l elevate the popular sport among the
High schools hereabouts. Other : ) who ha\o
the best Interests of the game nt heart are
nlxu In hourly accord with the movement ,
unil In u few months this portion of the
wiMt will probably boast one of ( hi1 strongest
InterspholasUc athletic leagues In the
country.
Athletic matters at the UnUerstty of Nc-
iliraika are on the boom , and all Indications
jiulnt lunar d an Interesting spring season
In both luse hall and Held nnd track
n'nlt'ilcs. The basket hall team baa stopped
] > lnylng iifcer u successful season , and
iu members aru now engaged In training
for the spilng sports This Is the first
Eciiion that Indoor base 'ball ' pru.'tloo has
been carried on to nny conslderuble extent
at the University of Nebraska. Although
thu season la as yet three months uway
them aru at present practicing for the
various positions some twenty-lit o men atul
about fifty havu slgnltlcd their attention of
trying for the team. Twelve men are at
present being coached for the plti-hern'
] naltlon , KO the box will not bo the weak
fcpot. Fred Ilnrnes , who has been engaged
to ccach the aspiring pitchers , Is rapidly
getting thu men In condition for the outdoor
liiai'tico later In the spring. Ho will re
main with the boys until culled away to
Ills duties In the National league. After
ho leaves the management will secure the
hot \lces of some good man to act as Held
ccach through the remainder of the season.
J'or the position the names of Cocliran ,
C reign nnd Ucnedlct , all old university pluy-
01-3. have been mentioned , hut nothing doll-
iilti * has been decided upon. Cuptaln Gor
don , who has been so largely Instrumental
in getting out candidates , assisted by other
old players , has ibecti coaching the new
aiteli In their respective positions and will
continue to do BO until a regular coach. Is
Installed.
'Manager Dennlson has conducted an ex
tensive correspondence- reports pa.rtlally
completed plans. He has experienced much
dllllculty In arranging an eastern trip on
account of the formation of a league of the
big colleges around Chicago After they
liavo llnally arranged their schedule there
will be little doubt that eastern dates can
1m arranged , although Northwestern re
fuses us on account of loss experienced cm
last year's game. At nny rate dates nnd
guarantees sulllclont to Insure a trip through
iowa and a part of Illinois have been secured ,
F i the eastern trip Is an assured fact. A
southern trip has been definitely arranged
for. On this tour Woahburti , Kmporla ,
Kansas University , Tarklo and other col
leges will bo played. This trip will occur
some time between May 1 and May 15 , while
Iho eastern trip will take place shortly
after the middle of the month in addition
to these two trips a series of three games
will bo played with the State University of
Iowa ; ono at Iowa City , onu at Council
IHlufTs and one at Lincoln. Arrangements
are also partially completed for a trl-stato
meet of the Universities of Kansas , Missouri
and Nebraska to occur on or about Decora
tion day at Kansas City. This scries will
lo played for a cup to bo held by the wln-
jicr. In order to get the team In Tshapo for
Hio big contests numerous games will be
played on the campus with teams from the
ulty nnd surrounding towns. These will
commence during April and continue until
the boys leave for the south about the 1st
of May. I
Manager 'Dlschoff ' of next year's foot ball
team at the University of 'Nebraska ' has al-
re uly commenced an extensive correspond
ence with various universities and colleges
with TOgaid to dates for next season. It Is
II'B Intention to have nt least four big
games on the campus at Lincoln in order
that the university may not have rause
for complaint s to the eluuacter of the
sport furnished it. Arrangements aroiiboiit
completed for games with Grlnnull and
Ames , hut as yet dates have not been
agreed upon. The ttuni will have the two
trips to Kansas and Missouri and possibly
another ono cast If It can bo aranged.
( Nothing has as yet ibcen dune with reg > rd
to a coach for the eleven , but that will bo
attended to aonio time 'later ' In the spring.
ilJ. IN. lloblnton , the very successful coach
of the JKOfi nnd 1W eleven1 ! , Is at present
In attendance at the Harvard law school.
An yet his plans for next year are very
undecided. Ho has 'been ' offeroJ the posi
tion of 'head ' co-'Ch nt 'Drown ' university ,
where he V.MS graduated , but IIP docs not
feel that ho can acsept. Ho has liad some
coirespondenco with the ' .Minnesota State
university and may possibly bo found there ,
Strenuous efforts 'will ' ibo Hindu by the
unnnagoincnt at Lincoln to bring Robinson
iback to coach what Is expected to bo
another 'pennant ' winning team.
In last Sunday's Issue of The Dee atten
tion was callul to the. circular of the Ama
teur Athletic union regarding thu registra
tion of athletes , especially those 'who do-
filrt * to play with amateur basket ball teams ,
That circular has occasioned multitudinous
< nid multifarious kinds of trouble , and the
end Is not jet. Thu taxation of thu Ama
teur Athletic union for the registration of
teams and Individual players has drawn
forth vigorous protests from all parts cf the
country , and nowhere have the dUcouUnt
tones appeared louder than In Philadelphia.
In the Quaker 'City ' the ibaskot ball play
ers recently assembled In mass meeting de
cided to be free and Independent from the
K.I Id Amateur Athletic union so long as
the cJbnoxlous registration rule shall remain
In force , Indeed It new looks as though the
registration rule , and the fees that arc
meant to accrue to the organization under
that rule , would form a rock which would
EUroly split an Institution that was once
truly great and , noble ,
At the recent inass meeting In Philadel
phia 'It ' was decided to form n league In
order to place tills popular winter Indoor
game 'under organized control , thus not only
popularizing the- sport still more , but > : lso
liooplng It clean and out of the hands of
persona who would Injure It If they had
anything to do with It , ibut no definite
action was taken regarding the Amateur
lAthlctlo union's demand that all basket
hall players must register , and > pay Into Its
treasury the sum of $1 , and all trams bo
assessed an additional sum of $1 , as a sanc
tion fee fcr the privilege of playing games
with other registered ( cams. At a subse
quent meeting , In order to have this ques
tion settled once- for all , a committee .was .
appointed to hear arguments for and
agulait the Amateur Athletic union and
Its registration scheme , and then report to
the general Iwdy for llnal action , The com-
inlttoo made what appears to 'have been a
ocost thorough Investigation , and the open

rorolt from the union of all Philadelphia
basket tall ptajcrs Is the result ,
And now the Amateur Athletic union pro-
jiosefl to purify Amateur base ball. In order
to do FO all bane bull teams ttat wl.ih to be
known ns amateurs will be compelled to kcnd
In n registration fee. Speaking of the ob
jects of the latest crusade of the tottering
organisation Secretary Jfline * E. Sullivan
saysVu Intend to step In where the col
leges leave off and exercise- control over
their nthletos who play base ball acid foot
ball with any elnb which it not sanctioned by
the Amateur Athletic union. Kurthennoro , a
college athlete cannot , dudng tils vacation ,
play with a itinctbned club unleea ho Is
roplstered by the Amateur Athletic union.
I-'or violations of either of Uicte provisions
he will be disqualified nnd ineligible
to toke part in the flcld asd track games of
the Intercollegiate association , os that body
Is allied with the Amateur Athletic union.
The Anifltour Athletic union docs not propose
to puisuf ove'y amatout- team that organizes.
It Intends to go after the clubs , the member *
of which propose to bo amateura and > ct
violate the rules of the Amateur Athletic
union by hiring playcra. "
Colonel Hamburger , the American rcprc-
fcentitlvo of the Amateur Atfilctlc union to
Paris. Is Interesting himself In the proposed
bill now In the hands of Senator Thurston
In reference to the appropriation for the
Pat Is exposition. It is Colonel Hamburger's
Intention to pro-sure , If porslble , a pot-lion of
this appropriation for the purpceo of eendltiR
a team of American champions to Paris In
lorio. Senator Mason , with Colonel Ham
burger , Is framing an amendment to the
bill nnd thinks ho can possibly Interest Sena
tor Thm-stcn nnd others In the measure.
Colcr.el Hamburger has received a letter
from P'lron Pierre de Coubcrtln , president
cP tdo International Olympian committee , of
which the following Is an extract : "Tho only
thing I can tell you Is that the Olympian
games of 1DOO will bo hold In Paris , In 1000.
under the presidency of the Vlcometo do la
Rochefoucauld , who will act as the crown
prince of Greece did. In 1S9G , when the first
Olympian games were celebrated In Athens.
You know , by the way , that the third games
are to take place In 1904 nnd that wdllo Hor-
lln and Stockholm ore anxious to have thorn
I myself am very much In favor of New-
York , and so Is. of course , Prof. William M.
Sloano , who Is the permanent American mem
ber of the International committee. "
When the Intercollegiate Athletic associa
tion mectrf In Now York on Saturday , Febru
ary 20 , It will have brought to Its atten
tion seine Important recommendations of the
i\ectitlvo committee. Ono of ths changes
proposed Is directed against the professional
use of the college training table In order to
hoard a favorite athlete free of charge.
The worllng of the amendment proposed Is
as follows :
No one shnll represent nny college or uni
versity ns n competitor nt nn Intercollegiate
meeting who shnll nt nny time nfter Feb
ruary 20. 1W , attend any training table
without paying- for his board at that trainIng -
Ing- table an amount equal to that which his
vo.ird would tmvt- cost him had he not been
it such training table. In ease a competi
tor's qualifications ns to the payment of
such expenses nre questioned , he shnll fur
nish to the executive committee an allldavlt
from himself , stating he bus compiled In let
ter nnd spirit with this constitution , and
shall Htnte In such allldavlt the ordinary
cost of his board and the amount p-ild , as
board , for his training table. He shall
also furnish from the person orj > ersons to
w iom he has paid said board nn nllldnvlt
sritliis forth the nmount paid to and re
ceived by him ior them ) as board from the
protested competitor.
This , if adopted , will da away with many
complaints nnd fhould materially decrease
the cost of athletic teams to the colleges.
It Is also proposed to do away with the mile
walk In tlho championship contest and the
substitution of a three-mllo run ; to give
ono point to the fourth man In each event
and to abolish pacemakers In the bicycle
races. The ( blcyclo races are no longer re
quired to 'bo ' held "In or near New York. "
The committee recommending these change/ ?
consists of Gustavus T. Klrhy , Columbia ,
chairman ; Murdoch Kondrlck , Pennsylvania ;
Henry W. Howe , Harvard , and Oliver
Shlras , Cornell.
The University of Wisconsin D at club lias
cent word to Cornell that It would like to
ibe represented In thci proposed intcrcollegl-
atn race which will be held next
June , probably at Saratoga lake or
at PoughkeorsIe-on-the-IImlson. The pro
posed regatta promises to bo a
great success. With Cornell. Colum
bia , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin entered for
a certainty and with the prospects good for
tlui entrance of Harvard , the Naval Cadets
nnd ono or mere English Iboatlng clubs , it
does not appear that the event will hardly
bo seriously narrowed by the absence of one
crew. There will be a Yale-Harvard race
nt New London.
The training of crew candidates at all
the eastern colleger has now begun to earn
est , and the Indications are that a number
of the crows will approach the high stand
ard of the Cornell 'varsity crows. At Yale
Bob Cook and Kennedy have a better lot of
candidates to work on than Cook had a
year ago , or , In fact , has had for several
years. All of last year's freshmc/n eight
are candidates for this ycar'a Yale 'varsity
crow. Three of the men who had seats In
the 'varsity boat In ' 97 nt Poughkeepsle have
since left Yale , graduating last June. These
three were- Captain Longford , the- stroke ,
Ilalloy , who ant at No , 5 , and Campbell , who
occupied seat No. 3. The five remaining
men of the ' 97 'varsity crew are yet In college -
lego nnd will undoubtedly be- among these
promising candidates for place.3 In the Yal.i
ooat this coming season. Williams , who
stioked the freshman crew to victory at
Poughheeralo , Is the most likely man for
itroko In next year's boat. Payne Whitney ,
the captain of the 'varsity crew , who rowed
at No. 2 last year , has been rowing at bow
during the training of the paat few weekn.
Rogers , who rowedat / bow last year on the
'varsity , hoe not commenced to train ye ,
liut when ho docs ho will In all probability
OH the bow pcnltlon and Captain Whitney
will return to No. 2. The men will continue
: o use the r.arrow-bladed Hngllsh earn which
they used last year , and the stroke will bo
lengthened out ns It was orlgVinlly. There
has been a tendency to shorten the stroke
elnco ISS2 , nnd It has been chopped off by
degrees until the crew went across the At
lantic to the Henley regatta , when It wan
very short. Since that tlmo a reaction has
set 'in , with the result that the stroke ha *
beta lengthened out to Its olJ swing , a
atroke that furnlihed eo many glorious vic
tories to Yale university.
During the week the candidates for the
Cornell crewo were called out for the first
liir.o and began work on the rowing ma
chines In the gymnasium. In speaking of
the afternoon's practice the Cornell Ually
Sun sajs : After the fieshmon hod finished
their practice Captain Cotton put a crow
of last year' , ? fre.ihmen on the machlnca ,
undo up ns follows : Stroke , Ihlder ; 7 , Ayres ;
! , Colt ; 5 , llanmer ; 4 , Lee j.r ; 3. Shire ;
J , Smallwood' , I , Will. Th's ' was the name *
crow with but two or three changes which
rowed at Poughkcepslo last Jme , Although
n llttlo stiff la movement , caused by their
lack of practice , they rowed fairly well to
gether. Then a crow of 'varsity men In
cluding Wakoman , Bailey , Stamford , King ,
33cll , Oddlc , Dalzell and Commodore White
irlej their handu at the machines for u
short three minute pull. It was a pleas
ure , after watching for some weeks the
frantic efforts of the freshmen , to see a
crow on the machines that know the stroke
od rowed la gcoj form together. Later
Warier stroked a crow composed of Jlay-
mend , Ludlam , G. Young , Swanltz , Sweet-
laud , I ) . Young and Orlmslmw. There were
several other 'vanity candidates who re
ported to Captain Colaon but did not row
> esteriay. ! Including Johnston , Hoed and
Leo. These latter additions bring the num-
1-r of candidates to twenty-eight. Savage ,
Moore , IJentley and llrlggs , all of last year'o
1 crew , did not report yesterday , but will
como out In a few da > . These men to
gether with the usual lot of delinquent will
probably swell the list to about thirty-five.
There are still nearly fifty freshmen rowIng -
Ing every afternoon and It was leaiciea yes
terday that the number will bo reduced to
about half as soon nfj Coach Courtney fin
ishes his work at the boathouse.

The base ball club that Omaha has beca
figuratively fondling during the last week
or two seems to have lapsed Into temporary
obscurity. The last number on the program
was a dcaperate- break oa the part of Grand
ring , and"Christinewent la.tho door , Mrs. * I
I ai' ' B to cut Into the game , find since then
, the matter has appnic-ntly bcnn l"tst sight o. . "
i Tor a few dnje the local fain watched the
] papers eagerly for news , but ns r.ot the
slightest Intimation of new developments
was discovered they gaveIt up In il'nguii '
and will wait until the management come *
out from Its retreat and lota us .know where
I : h at.
The eleventh-hour activity In Grand Rnp
Ids evidently has not been taken oerlouslj
In mc t quarters , since It Is everywhere
taken for greeted that the action at Chicago
cage by w hlnh the franchise waj awarJoe
to Omaha wns final. There Is occasionally
a reference In eastern exchanges to the fact
tbat the On.ahn manugenucU la suppose ,
to l o hftvlnt ; n line out for this or that
plajtr , and the general expression 1 ? that the
eighth team promises to to a strong one
Hut nil this time Messrs. Schumna and
O'Brien might ns well be In the Klondike
as far as nny definite Information Is con
cerned , ns absolutely uolhisig has been heari
from them since they left town over two
weeks ago.
The only really spectacular feature of the
wek Is the somewhat sensational method by
which Chris Von der Aho was spirited from
St. Louis to Pittsburg to settle the $2,500
Judgment tliat was obtained against him by
Mark llaldwim some tlmo ago. It Is a novel
Idea In legal proceedings to kidnap a man
lit order to get service on him , nndIf Chris
was really an unwilling to BO as the dis
patcher make It appear the "abduction" wan
really a clover , If unscrupulous , piece of work.
Hut people who have been familiar with the
mtiny and various maneuvers of the foxy
Chris will not bo so ready to believe that
ho was simply snapped up n iJ carried 1,000
mllea If ho hod a really well developed ob
jection to going. Anyhow the trip serves to
keep Chris before the public and It would
not bo surprising It that was mainly what
was desired.
ThereIs a vigorous and very well fentnaed
protest from all quarters against the pres
ent ridiculous system of ecorlng earned runs.
According to the present rule an earned run
practically means ono that Is batted all
around the diamond and a base on balls , era
a battery error arbitrarily breaks the com
bination. This is especially erroneous as
far ns It refers to a base on balh , for u
Is now conceded that the man who knows
how to wait at the right tlmo la Just as
valuable as the man who makes a hit. It
requires just as good an eye to pick out tlie
bad ones as It does to select the good cnea ,
and there never was nn earthly reason why
a base on balls should shut out nn earned
The most general objection to the present
scoring Is the fact that the- earned run
column gives mo reliable Indication of the
effectiveness of the pitcher. Ho may pitch
a game without allowing the opposing team
a single earned run and still bo crctllteJ
with any number of bases on balls , wliii
pitches and hit batters. It Is contended that
any run that Is scoured CQ account of tno
pitcher ahould be earned and that the score
would then bo of value as showing his rela
tive efficiency.

The price which Messrs. Schuman &
O'Brien paid for Tommy Tucker's release
from Washington Is said to have ben $300.
It ( was dirt cheap at twice that sum.
"Gene" De Montrevllle has signed his 159S
contract with Baltimore. Ho will receive
several hundred dollars a year more from
the Orioles than ho received from the Sena
tors.
It la Intimated that Grand Rapids has
given up th01 Job of securing a , franchise' ' In
the Western league nnd Is now making
preparations to purchase the Wheeling fran
chise In the Interstate league.
No wonder several clubs are scrapping over
Willie. Eagan of last year's Syracuse team.
A fielding average of 93S on second base in
133 games and an eye that lets him hit
afcova the .300 notch is not to be picked out
n minor league company every day.
If any one has any doubt that Anson's
services could fiivd a purchaser It Is dispelled
by Manager Hanlon of Baltimore , who ( jays
that any time Cap wants to sign a contract
: o play1 first base with the Orioles it Is at
ils disposal. And Hanlon usually knows
what ho la about , too.
Charley Ganvol Is another prospective mem.
foer of the Omaha team. If Ornaha has one.
Charley Is one of the pioneer backstops o !
the National league and Is the- last of the
champion Detroit team of 1887. While
some of his youthful vigor Is undoubtedly
exhausted , he Is still far from being a iiack-
number.
Ted Sullivan has been signed to manage
the Dubuque club. Ho managed the first
club the city had eighteen years ago and
Blnco then ho has led a somewhat dtverslflM
career. He has spent the lart few years
skirmishing around tha minor leagues lock-
ng up promising young blood for some of

to pick out a few good ones for himself.

Ted Sloan , the llttlo Jockey who cut such
a swath acrcas the water during the latter
part of the Kngllsh racing season , has re
turned to this country with his clothes. Ha
Is In love with the land of roast beef nnd
ale , but will rldo for the Flelschmanns this
year. In 1899 , however , ho will put In the
whole season In England , being already
under contract , "Racing Is superbly con
ducted In England , " sajs Sloan. "Tho start
ers are competent > and fair-minded , and dur
ing my entire stay abroad I did not hear
an unkind word addressed to any Jockey.
The English Jockeys are all finished riders.
They rldo differently 'from ' the American
boys. Over there the Jockeys roll their
horses right In. They sit up straight , and
well back. When I appeared on the tracks
everybody laughed nt me. I was well for
ward , In my usual position , and they 'thought '
It was funny , sajlnpr I looked like a monkey
perched up where I was , " Whllo the English
hcrscs Impressed Sloan very favorably , he
contends that American horses are batter ,
nnd are gaining rapidly In popularity in
England. Ho advises the shipment of Homo
of the best American horsca over there , and
predicts that after they won a fovv races they
could bo easily disposed of at a pro.1t of 100
per cent.
The political term "dark horse" Is we-ll
known , hut very few people are avvnro that
It spilngs from the track. So It Is , however ,
from the following story : "About fortv
years ago tliero used to bo a goaj deal of
scrub racing In Tennessee , One day a ped
dler came along , who had a rough-looking
black horse hitched to lib wagon. The man
agers of the affair got up a free-for-all race
of mlle heats , and the peddler entered h's
nag , which in looks wan a regular Roslnante
among the contestants. There was a good
deal of modest betting , and the peddler
backed his plug to the extent of his means.
He was thought to bo foolish for BO doing ,
until old Judge Perkins , who was the racing
authority in the neighborhood , was asked to
back his favorite , which was owned by one
of his particular friends. Ho looked the
contestants over as they were being saddled ,
and then said : 'No , I can't hack < your IHIy.
There's a dark horse In there that I saw
run mighty well at Nashvlllo not long ago ,
I'll bet twenty dollars on him. ' No ono but his
peddler owner knew anything about the dark
horse , but he Justified thu confidence hU
owner and Judge Pttrklns reposed In htm , for
ho distanced all his competitors In the first
heat. Ever since an unknown candidate has
been called a 'dark horso' by the politicians , '
and many of them have won their races Just
as easily as bo did. "
Electricity Is oed in the latest method of'
curing balky horses. It Is applied by wires
ronuocted wltli thu bit and crupper of the
stubborn unlrual and a dry storage battery.

Kid McCoy has unquestionably taken the
right tack in deciding to Ignore Fltzaim-
mons nnd Corbett and to try to win heavy
weight laurels by meeting other good men
In that class. There isno doubt that he
fell down lo the opinion of the sporting
public by going after Fltz and the ex-champ ,
'or ho certainly must have known that
neither would''have ' accepted his den had
hq waited ten years. His conclusion to meet
nen llko Maher' ' and 'Choynskl Is likely to
gtvu the people ' of the country
: hei Idea tlfat ' there Is some-
llilngof a fighter about him who Is
not afraid to meet anyone who challenges
lim. If he can'whip-a ' few coed heavy
weights he can force the topnotchcrs to a
light through public sentiment.
Kid Lavigno was wise beyond his day
and generation In refusing to meet Tommy
Kyan at 145 pounds. The Kid is probably
anxious enough to get on a go with Ryan ,
jut he simply would not be In It at the
weight mentioned even though ho Is one of
the stiftc t two-handed punchers who ever
came over. It Is pretty nearly time for
iyan to step out of the class In which he
has made Ma rep. He Is now nothing else
han a middleweight and it Is questionable
whether lie- will ever again bo able to get
below- the limit and be > at his beat. On the
other hand Lavigno Is a whirlwind at his
velght , 133 pounds , but It Is very doubtful
f ho could do much against Ryan's pro
posed advantage in weight. The Kid would
) o able to put on only a few more pounds
hat would bo a handicap to him.
The-ro Is humor In pugilism and some of
t Hashed forth the other day when Jake
vilrain. , ex-champion of America , cast a dell
nto the ifaco of his fee of yore , John L.
Sullivan. Kllrain believes that he Is now as
it ns John L. Ho stipulates that the bout
shall bo fifteen or twenty rounds for points
vlth blackened gloves , The content ia to
como off after a month's training , In which
Imo Jake hopes to reduce hl.3 weight from
225 to 200 pounds. He Is 39 years old and
Sullivan Is about the same age. Speaking
about the matter Kllrain said : "I hope that
John will not reply to my challenge with
ho bluff that Fltzslmmous and Corbett are
working off on the public , that old gag of
Corbett's 'Gowhip homebody. ' John and
myself arc In the same position as Corbstt
ind the blacksmith. I am the Corbett * of
ho situation and John Is the Kitzs'mmotiii. '
lo has whipped mo and I want a return
attle. And I think I am entitled to It Just
or the sake of 'Auld Lang Syne , ' If notli-
ng else. I trust that John will reply to
ny request for another argument In the
ring. I understand John Is on the read
vlth a threatrlcal show and that IIH scasou
will extend until next May. If that is the
case I will -wait until his season , closes bo-
ere signing with him. "
"Spike" Sullivan , the crack American
Ightwelghtwho l.s across the pond , hoa at
ast succeeded In making a match , after
mving almost given up hopes of securing
one. Ho Is to box Harry Greenfield , the
Jngllsh lightweight , In a twenty-round
jout before the National Sporting club of
Condon on February 21. A good purse Is to
10 put up and In addition the lads will boxer
or a sldo bet of $1,000. They are to light at
31 pounds , weigh In at 2 o'clock on the day
of the coiilcM. Greenfield Is the English
jox-pr who knocked put Larry Burns of
Johoes by a chance blow after Burns had
ilm almost out , American critics give
Sullivan a shade the bettor of It , but Green-
leld , from all accounts , la In a fight to thu
finish.
Considerable * Interest Is being displayed
over the twenty-round contest at Cleveland
on next Tuesday between the two light-
velghts , Tlmmy Kearns nnd Eddy Connolly.
Connolly , who has deservedly earned the
Itlo of the "Whirlwind" U pretty gen
erally looked upon as the winner , but Koarna
hu.s not a few lackcra ; from the fact that
ho has never lost a square fight.
The sporting editor has received a letter
from Al Miles , the Chicago boxer , who was
in this city for a time , , announcing that ho
ho/3 arranged for a go with Bob Long of
Mount Morris , 111. The contest Is to take
place at Davenport , la. , on next Tuesday and
Is to bo for a purse of $100 , the winner to
take $75 and the loser the remainder. Miles
announces that ho will bo back In thU city
after his bout.
Dick O'Brien of Boston will once more
meet Frank Craig , the "Harlem Coffee
Cooler , " who was BO scientifically laid out in
England recently. They are to meet In
Cleveland within the next thrco months In

forfeit of $250 has beer , posted by each of

Most of the weather has been entirely
Joe disagreeable for shooting recently and
whllo n few of the most enthusiastic markn-
rncri have put In an hour or two at the tar
gets on one or two pleasant days , no rnatchra
cf any Interest have bpen scheduled. The I
rext event of Importance will probably bo |
the annual tournament of the Nebraska I
State Sportsmen's aasoclatlon , which has ,
I
been set for May -4 to 27. So far nothing
KionouA. vur. w. M1. nu-aun
lid3 been arranged except the date , bu
In ft few weeks the more detailed arrange
mciits will bo determined and an effort wtl
bo made to make the affair ono of the rnos
notable that tins been given In the stale
Reports from other places where tourna
rnents have bceti held or are scheduled fo
the Immediate future Indicate that they ar
arousing : more than ordinary Interest am
there Is every reason to believe that th
local association will bo able to put up a
series of events that will not provo an ex
ceptlon.
The most Important event of the wee'
was the meeting of state officials and fl ?
commissioners of several states which wa
held at Chicago early In the week at whlcl
various plans for securing more harmonious
action on the part of state legislatures In
regard to game and ifish laws were discussed
It Is stated that the mecllng was very en
Ihuslasllc and that the movement , \vhlcl
receives the endorsement of nil sportsmen
was begun wllh excellent prospects of sue
cess. There were a largo number of dele
gnlcii from Minnesota , Wisconsin , Michigan
and Illinois as well ns scattering rcprcsenta
tires from several other stales. The varlou
resolullons that were adopted referred more
especially to the conditions that exist li
those states and are only Interesting to Nebraska
braska sportsmen as afTdrdltig a gratifying
Indication of a movement In favor of better
game laws which promises to become gen
eral. The discussion of this question Is
usually vigorous at this time of the yea
when the sportsmen have llttlo clso on
their hands , but It Is notable that there I
now a more general tendency to work In
liannotiy and towards some definite end thai
has existed In previous years. In Iowa anc
'Missouri ' the agitation Is active and It Is to
bo hoped that the enthusiasm will bo
sufilclcntly contagious to- Inspire a vigorous
effort for the bctlcr protection of gnmo It
Nebraska. The security In which the mar
ket hunters operated all over the quail coun
try last seaton is enough to Indicate thn
there Is every Incentive for some energetic
action.
A bill lias been Introduced In the Iowa
legislature which proposes to abolish spring
shooting. It makes the closed season ex
tend from January 15 to September 1 In
stead of from April 15 to September 1 , ns
the law -contemplates. .
A farmer In Pleasant Grove township
Iowa , recently shot n prairie chicken on his
own premises. A neighbor had htm arrester
for violating the game law and a fine ol
$25 resulted. The affair smacks slightly of
a neighborhood row , but It indicates that
the Iowa people are determined that the
laws shall bo observed.
CIlUNN.
Among the more favored openings nt pres
ent Is the gluoco jilano or Italian opening.
As the name Implies It develops a carefu
and deliberate game and gives an even de
velopment to the forces. It Is established
by the following moves : (1) ( ) P to 1C 4 , 1"
to K 4 ; (2) ( ) Kt to KB 3 , Kt to QB 3 ; (3) ( ) B
to B 4 , U to B 4 ; ( I ) Kt to B 3 or P to Q
3 or castles or P to QB 3. Tliero are , 'how
ever , hut two mala varieties of the foutth
move , one of P to QB | 3 and the other three
which give the same result. An excellent
Illustration of thla opening was Riven In
the recent Laskor-Stelnltz match , and is as
fine n specJmca of high grade chess as la
often found.

WITH TIIK UKVOTKISS OF WHIST.

A remarkable deal at whist was played In
Jwton recently In which South played with
Ingular mUtortir.o. Ho held five trumps
vlth two honors and lost them all , The deal
vas as follows :
S-A , 5. 3 , 2.
C-Q , J , 8 , 7. 1.
U-Q. 7 '
The hand at west which was played so
skillfully In thu deal given above lielonucil to
L. .M. Ilouvolto has often something to
say on whist which Is of value to the stu
dent of the pamo. HU latest opinions fol
low :
"It would provo highly encouraelng to con-
fcdeiitloiiii students of sound wlilat as taught
by the long null authorities If itero poasl-
ble for them to witness many of the plays
made by experts , .Sot content ultU demoa-
| rnoBt Dcipiuj ana popular . .nyum wnU'iu m
ulratlns their ftblllty to read the cards nnd
outgeneral their opponents , long chances nro
token and many tricks lost by an apparent
overniasterlnR doslro on the part of ex
tremely skillful players to make phenomenal
gains. Case nftcr owe might bo cited , from
national trophy contests down to the most
Infornxil games , where the defeats sustained
could bo rightly attributed to plays of this
nature. On the other hand , players of less
experience , who make no pretcnso to rivalry
with these experts , enter club tournaments
and carry over the evening's honors by playIng -
Ing careful , conservative whist.
"After one has become thoroughly familiar
with the American leads and general prin
ciples of the established game It Is well for
him to study and practice other methods.
Having rcachoJ a high degree of proficiency
In playing the various systems a player Is
e y apt to hurt his game by mixing to
gether parts of each , or by allowing success
In a particular Instance to'Influence his plnj-
contrary to his former experiences.
"Ono grwt advantage of duplicate whist Is
that It enables players to study cause and
effect , and emphasizes the value of careful
play. .Many of the complaints of lack of suc
cess ono hears expressed after an evening's
ganio arc duo to plajs which the players
frankly acknowledge were unsound. If men
tal memoranda were made of these occur
rences and bo mo In mind on future ocoislons
a repetition of similar losses might be pre
vented.
' 'An Important principle * of the game - frequently
quently lost sight of Is that which recognizes
the unwisdom of risking the loss of several
tricks when the chance Is slight of gaining
more than ono trick. One of the most com
mon situations Illustrating this point Is that
which presents the choice of forcing oppo
nent or continuing trumps. Probably no ono
play Is responsible for n greater number of
variations of two. three or four tricks to a
deal thin Is the hast.Iy conceived Idea that
It Is advisable to attempt to take every re
maining trick. The ono trick which might
bo lost by conservative play becomes a moun
tain In the mind's eye. It Is not surprises
that opponents frequently take several tricks
when the possibility of so doing seems In
deed n molehill to them. "
"Tho reaction against the use of purely
arbitrary conventions , explained or unex
plained , Is spreading In all parts of the
country. There Is decided opposition to the
tendency to complicate the game , and the
\03iilt cannot fall to bo highly benellolal.
\\'o hope the time Is not far distant when
good players , oven though utter strasigers ,
vlll bo able to sit down and play an In-
\elllglblo gome. Now , however , Jones of
Now York and Smith of Philadelphia are
\ntroducod. \ and asked to play as partners ;
hey flnd It necessary to retire for private
"onfcrencc In regard to systems and signals.
They find that ono uses the rotary discard ;
Uio other doesn't. Ono leads ten from king ,
lack , ton ; the other fourth best. One leads
the queen from queen , jack , ten ; the other
the ten. Ono signals to show three trumps ,
the other signals to show three or more ,
and then echoes to show four or more. One
loads the ace of a suit and when he follows
with n card In another suit the second leaJ
is a singleton. The other replies that when
ho leads a low card ho shows an nil around
strong hand and Invites a trump lead. The
ono docs not like the Invitation game , but
plays the 'top of clothing" lead. The other
leads the nlno to ask for a trump lead
through an honor turned ; the man from
Now York never does. And so the conversa
tion goes on ; and unless they are called to
Viko their places It may run on for hours.
At the table each tries to play his own
system and to understand the system that
partner Is playing. Incidentally they are
trying to figure out what the other fellows
are doing. There are thousands of playera
who do not consider this sort of thing either
enjoyable or dclontlflc whist. How much
better it would be if a thorough knowledge
of whist principles , a mastery of whist
strategy , and skill in reading the cards as
they fall took the place of rotary discards ,
signals , echoes , and arbitrary conventions
of every sort. Of late years the tendency has
boon to complicate the game and load it
down with fads and nonsensical devices ,
wTiercas the simpler the game can be made
the better. Let u.s repeat the platform on
which wo stand , 'Away with all unfair , un
usual and unsound methods of play. ' " This
from the Rochester Post Express , strikes at
the root or the greatest problem whist play
ers have before them today.'o have wan
dered far from the paths of Cavendish , Pole.
Clay , Fisher , Amos , Hamilton and Coflln
while more or less bllu'lly following the lead
of advocates of unsound methods , and we
mutt got back or the greatest game of cards
will stand In disrepute. This fact being now
recopnlzed , the question is , "How far Lack "
For an answer I would say back to that
point In which every convention purely ar
bitrary shall bo looked upon by the \\filst
world as disreputable , and only such conven
tions as ore logical In themselves or de
veloped from these that are logical shall be
allowed among gentlemen and ladles. What
conventions are logical and what are purely
logical ? The Providence Journal answers
that question os follows : "A logical conven
tion Is ono that can bo icasoned out froii the
play of the cards ; an arbitrary convention Is
ono that could not bo iHidersto l without
previous agreement. " These definitions are
simple and accurate. The Journal says
further : "The Ranie of > whist Is a beautiful
game wtien only logical conventions arouscJ
There Is no end to the extent to which ar
bitrary conventions may bo employed , and
the more tliero are the loss liitprosl'ng the
game becomes , except perhaps to these who
seek n. bubble reputation as 'champion' play-
era gained by the use of all sorts of under
hand and tricky devices. "
