branka oa Tucaday afternoon. The mcot'ag
V/M ono of the events held to celebrate
Charter day , and waa attended by a large
number of spectators , Including undergradu
ates , alumni and other visitors. The meet
ing tormeil the final contest In the series o
Indoor athletic meets that have been licit
at ( ho University of Nehraaka during the
winter , tnJ proved to be the means of cs-
tabllohlng many new records for the uni
versity. '
In the final contests on Tuesday there
wore eight events and three exhibition
names. The ovcnta. were the same as those
that formed the preliminary trials through
the winter , and only those who had ranked
flrst , second and third In the preliminary
trials competed In the finals. There were a
half dozen valuable trophies awarded , and
more that are vet to be competed for wore

In addition to these events there were
three Interesting exhibition games. Three
Incilngs of a new Indoor sport , recently In
troduced by Physical Director Hastings ,
called volley hall , were played between two
tiMms from the university , one chosen from
the faculty , the other from the student
athletca. The faculty team won after on
exciting contest by the RCOIO of 14 to 13.
A basket ball game of two seven-minute
halve * was played between the regular uni
versity team and a team composed of the
best flvo unattached basket Mil players. The
university team won by the score of C to 4.
In the first half each side scored two poicits ,
but In the second the university team ocorcii
lour polntu to their opponents' two.
An oxcltlnc came of Indoor base ball waa
playrd between two strong teams , the one
representing the athletic team of the uni
versity , the other the 1'crshlng Illlles of
Lincoln. The Rifles won by the score of
3 to 1. for the victors the scores were made
by Msn.sfleld. Hobblns and Stoiiblnj , while
M'jOuhan alcno scored , for the losers. The
rllilotlc toim took three Innings and the
rershlng HlOca two Innings. The teams

IHl II. H. Campbell , Waterman. Rochon and
McOtihan. I'ershlng Ullles : Drown , Mans-
llold , Heude , Stobblus , Hody , Ouray , Hall ,
Haiti and Lorve.
Cornell has done very well during the last
ivcek In having delected Glenn S. Warner ns
liead coich for the Cornell foot ball team of
CISU3. As captain of the ' 01 team and as
the ccach of last season's elevun , whkfi all
wit dcfeate.l the Invincible Penniylvanlans ,
"Warner has proved that Co'tiell can turn
out foot ball coaches of no mean ability.
Coach Warner la to take charge of the can
didates for the Cornell team on September
10 and ho will bo assisted by ex-Captains
AVyckoff , Ilcaclmm and other Cornell foot
ball stars. The rise of the foot lull tea ma
from Ithae.a has been slow but steady and
with cot responding advances during the next
few years the Cornell foot ball elevens tiould
bo almost UH sure wloners as the Cornell
crows have been for sonio years.
Apropos the coming meeting of the
eastern foot ball rules committee the fol
lowing Interview with J. H. Scarf , a former
member of the committee , Is of some Inter
est : "In my opinion fuw radical changes
will ho made In the rules this year. The
committee Is a very coiu'crvutlvo 'body. ' It
takes a unanimous vote to pass any Innova
tion , or , In fact , make any changes. I
think that Mr. Uashlel , the delegate at
large , will have a number of valuable EUS-
gestlono to offer at the meeting. Ills long
experience ai umpire at the big games makes
him Invnluclhlo as a mum'bcr ' of the com
mittee , for he knows perhaps 'better ' than
anybody where the present rules are at
fault. "
Alexander Moffat , who Is Princeton's rep-
icsuntatlvo on the committee , nays that the
principal fault with the rules Is lack of
clearness In the way they are worded. Ho
further fays that on some points , as , for
Instance , the calling of > i game on account
of darkness heforo It IB finished , there I
nothing to go by except precedent and the
Individual Judgment of the ofllclals. The
exact point to bo covered by the authority
of each otllclal , Moffnt believes , should at ! > o
ibo merci plainly set forth. Ho slioixs that
In the enijo of "Interference. . In thn center'
It h33 liopn a common mistake for the
rcfereo to penalize for the offense , whprcas
thuru IN nothing In the rules that authorizes
thl . The umplro , not the referee , should
judge micli cases of fouling. Moftat con
tends that the committee should take some
radical measures to abolish clcss formation
playo. Regarding the proposition to allow
the quarter 'back to run with the ball , Modal
M > S the matter should bo carefully con
sidered. Ilo lu not In favor of changing the
system cf feorlng , and believes that a goal
from the field should continue to bo the
most valuablu play to bo made ,
There are many kinds of rumorx altnat ro-
Fttrdlng the possibility of a Cornull-Yalc-
Ilarvard beat rare yet being arranged for
this spring , H U to > bo noted , however ,
that meat of the talk conifH frpm Now
York and Now Haven. In the meanwhile
the Carnelllans are making plans for a re-
fiatta among all the lending ctows save
these of Yale. Incidentally Coach Court
ney la Instructing the young Cornelllan.s
Jiow to row. At Yale Coaches Cook and
Kennedy are at work on twonty-llvo candl-
< lolt's for the'varsity crowt and on forty-
dive frcrihmcii who are ambitious to row on
their freshman crew. They 'broke all records
at Yale during the last week iby getting out
into open water for practice. . Usually It IB
the flint part of March before a Yale crow
li able to got out on the water , while
the Cornell ITO\\H are seldom able to got
out before the last of March ,
The training of the University of Wis
consin crow has begun. Preparations are
already on foot for thn raee on the * Hudron
with Cornell , Pennsylvania and Columbia ,
which It Is confidently expected the Wlscon-
tilna will be Invited to enter. Healdes this
race plans have been talked of to secure
o race with the Yale crow , If possible , and
< o secure a race with Pennsylvania on
( Milwaukee bay during the carnival there
In Juno ,
Many students and graduates of Columbia
are wondering why the coaching of the
varsity and the freshman crew candidates
lias not been entrusted to 'Walter ' II. Peet ,
who turned out the whining crew at Pough-
keepalo In 18)5. As a matter of fact , 'Peet '
wai aikod not only to coach last year's eight ,
.tut a lee this year's candidates , and refused
because ho \ \ a not assured of absolute con
trol of the oarsmen. He was asked to ai-
fluino charge of the crews , but to ) act In ac
cordance with the Instructions of a rowing
committee , which believed that Columbia
hould adopt a stroke which would be *
combination of those taught by Courtney ,
Cook and I.ehinnnn ,
The Now York Commercial Advertiser
has Its hammer out to hit athletic leaders
acting In an unsportsmanlike manner at
several of our colleges on the head , and In
a recent lasuo It did rap nome of them
very hard , an U shown by the following
clipped from that paper :
"H Is very Interesting to BOO Yale anil
Princeton , or Princeton and Harvard , or
Harvard and Yale play foot ball. 'Hut ' with
Pennsylvania barred out of the foot ball
rcliodiiln and Cornell out of the rowing
world , the Interest In contemporaneous
sports would be largely lout.
"As repeatedly made plain , the present
disposition of the Yale , Princeton and Har
vard athletic councils to outlaw Pennsylva
nia and Cornell can have but ono effect. It
will redound to the Injury of sport at Now
Haven , Cambridge and Princeton. The fact
that Pennsylvania has the greatest foot
ball eleven In the United States , Yale's
great work against Princeton nothwllh-
standlng , and Cornell the champion crow ,
are facts that cannot he > gainsaid.
"When Yale , - Princeton and Harvard
have satisfactorily and conclusively beaten
Cornell and Pennsylvania at their own game.
It will be time enough io talk about rele
gations to ths ranks. As matters now
stnnd , the assumption of superiority In col
lege sorts of the Older colleges Is ridicul
ous. Incidentally , Yale has placed herself
In anything hut a pleasing light In. her at
titude to Cornell.
"It Is all very well to talk about tha exi
gencies of diplomacy and prestige In sport
and that sort of thing , but the Idea of chal
lenging a champion crew and making your
own conditions will Impress the Impartial
onlooker as being rathur strongly tinged
with humor , rind right on top of thla ,
Yale appears as the ringleader In a move
ment to bar Pennsylvania out of foot ball. "
The trouble over the standing of basko
ball teams that' rcfuso to pay the aasess
ment levied by. the Amateur Athletic unlo
has now broken out In Milwaukee. Burin
the past week Harry McMillan of Now York
president of the Amateur Athletic union
made a flytag trip to Milwaukee and hole
a conference with President Wi M. Ho
of the Milwaukee Athletic club , and Walte
Llngtor , vice president of the central dlvlslci
of the AmatQutvAtbletlc union , over the al
leged discrimination against the basket ba !
team of the Milwaukee Athletic club In It
Failure to register. The conference waa
tieated one. Presidedt Doll Insisted tha
there had been discrimination against Milwaukee
waukeo basket ball teams for failure t
register , While other teams throughout th
: ountry had not been similarly dealt with
though the same negligence had been shown
An understanding , was arrived at wherebj
Milwaukee .teanvL.wlll receive Just consld
oration In tlio vfmon. "The trouble , " said
Mr. McMlllJn , "cannot be settled at present
At the last meeting of the Amateur Athletl
union It was decided to Impose a fee of $
on each member of the teairs bclong'ag to
clubs sanctioned by the ualon , and tha
irovlt'Ion must therefore be lived up t
mill the next annual session , which wll
: ako place In the fall of 1898. I can see
: lmt the difficulty arises from the fact tha
; here are not a sufficient number of baske
jail teams In the various cities that belong
to the Amateur Athletic union to permit o
contests between clubs that are required to
register with the union. "
The latest branch of amateur sport eve
which the Amateur Athletic union has aa
sumed Jurisdiction Is that of billiards. Jus
low successful the attempt of the union to
centrol the billiard championship games wll
prove may bo demonstrated early In April
when the national chamnlonshln cames wll
) o played In New York. The 'following ' lotto
o The Bee from Alfred II. Jones of St
Louis H self-explanatory :
After February 15 all billiard tournament
rust ho given under the sanction of the
Vmateur Athletic union. The Amntcu
Ath'etlc ' union billiard championships wll
> o lield In this district by some promtnen
club. The sport of nmateur billiards lia
) een greatly retarded because , of the fac
hat It hns had no governing body , and a
great many abuHes have crept Into the gumo
for this reason. The question of the
\inatotir Athletic union taking control o
ilIllardH has been considered for some time
ami at the carno.it requests and solicitation
of the most prominent amafeur billiard pl.'iy
prs , the Amateur Athletic union has < lcclde (
o talco control. Championships of encl

States will bo held as soon as the dl trlc
championships have l > een iPettled. Clubs
desiring to hold the district championship
of this afsoclatlon should confer with Alfrci
I. Jones of the registration committee for
he western association , St. Louis.
The national billiard championships for
SOS will take place In Nei.v York , beginning
April i , under the auspices * of the Knicker
becker Athletic Club of New York. The
rulm to govern the district and natlonn
championships will peen be completed and

It has now heen two weeks since any one
romlncntly connected with the Western
eaguc has ventured an ebullition with regard
o the eighth franchise. It Ls still proposed
hat It shall remain In Omaha as far as any
vldenco to the contrary Is concerned , bill
ho local fans would feel a whole lot caslei
n Ifieir mlnd.i If the recommendation of the
committee was ratified without delay. The
Hence of Manager S elm man and the con-
Inued delay In final action by the league arn
Ifllcult to comprehend , except cci the sup-
> osltlon that the magnates are holding oft In
lie expectation that a well sustained delay
vlll bring about some substantial Induce
ment. That the league must act noon Is
pparent , as the schedule meeting occurs at
Cansas City February 24 and the location
lust certainly be settle. ! beyond question bo-
ore that ImportEpt document can be con-
tructcd. In the/ meantime It Is stated that
Messrs , Schunurh arid O'Urlen are at work
securing now players , but tuelr efforts have
resulted In nothing particularly notable up to
date
Tim Hurst has been trying to trade-off a
few of the surplus outfielders St , Louis Is
overloaded with for Tommy Tucker , but
O'Drlen could not see It that way and In con
versation with Hurst ho declared that Tucker
would surely play flrst base end manage the
Omaha team. That Is the first Intimation
that has besn received hero that Tucker
was to officiate In the capacity of manager ,
but there Is no apparent reason why ho
would not bo a fairly successful manager.
Although more Important happenings have
conspired to occupy public attention during
the week. It Is apparent that there Is more
ill\ ' ly Interest In base ball In Omaha Just
now than hns been in evidence In several
years , The town was never really enthused
by second rate ball , hut with the prcupect of
a good team and a place In a league that
Is certainly putting up a fast article of hall ,
the old spirit Is reviving to an extent that
promises success for the new enterprise.
This is the more gratifying on account of
the fact that developments In regard to the
now club are so slowIn maturing. As soon
as the franchise Is located hero beyond any
possibility of Interference and the work of
preparing the grounds and getting together
the remainder of the team Is fairly ( under
way the game will again become a topic of
universal Interest and the gome will boom
as In the good ojd tliiuu ,
Krank Hourcinan has not yet succeeded In
Inducing Tim Hurst to consent to his trans
fer to Omaha. Houseman Is ono of the men
whom Mat-tiger O'Hrlan wants on his etaff
and he Is also anxious for the change , but
Hurst Is holding off and the question Is not
entirely fettled , The local public is gener
ally disposed to regard Houseman as one of
the -best liiflchicra In the Inialnrss und the
Omaha management would undoubtedly make
popular move In securing him. It Is In
cidentally stated that Hurst and O'llrlen
have agreed on a series of exhibition games
'between ' Omaha and St. I/ouls at the latter
city , Hurot expects to return from the
training quarters about April 1 and stay at
homo until the season opens. Ho ha * also
arranged for exhibition games with Mlnne-
paollti and Milwaukee. /
Tim Illckey now avers that the Western
association circuit U a settled thing , with
Dra Molnea , Cedar Kaplds , Dubuque , I'corla ,
St. Joe , Durllngton , Ottumwa and Itock
Isltud. This comes pretty near being an
Iowa league , but most of the Iowa towns
are base ball crazy and ought 'to ' finish way
ahead financially ,
The favarBtjB opinion -ot A , C. Anson ,
which Is fihnrcd by pretty near everyone ?
outoldo of Chicago , was emphasized by lib
refusal to be the subject of a benefit. Anton
very aenslbly declared that hewaa neither
a beggar nor a pauper , nul that there was
no reweti why he should bo given the tes
timonial proposed. U Is Jiwt such a position
ns any one would expect Anson to take who
did not look nt him through blue pppctnclcs
and It certainly settles his title to respect ,
The Lincoln correspondent ot the Sporting
News suggests that the managers of tlio
Omaha club will draw a ccnslderabto sup
port from Lincoln this summer on account
of the low rates that will prevail on nccoun
of the exposition. This Is a po'nt that ha
not been taken Into ccnsldcratlon by th
management , and It la decidedly of lotorevi
The writer sajs : "Tho announcement mad
through the press dispatches of the pas
week that Omaha would bo n member of th
Western league during the season of ISO !
has been the main tonic of dlscutalo
among Lincoln fans during that time. Lin
coin lovers of the great national game or
highly pleased that Omalia may have a team
In the Western league , on It Is getting bas
ball nearer home than It has been since on
city retired from the Western awoclatoln
On account ot the Transmkuljalppl Expcul
tlon , which will be held lu Omaha this sum
mer , Lincoln people count iipcci a season every
very cheap rates between the Capital City
and the metropolis , and therefore expect t
have frequent opportunities of seeing a gooi
game ot base ball occasionally at a nomlna
price. With nearly 300,000 people to draw
from , Omaha ought to bo a good locatloi
for a Western league team as good aa any
In the circuit. If the mtnagetncnt la succcso
ful In corralling a good team there will bo
llttlo doubt as to the financial success of the
enterprise. The Lincoln fans hope baae t > al
In Omaha will vrovc succetaful , and man :
m enthusiast will take a run over to Omaha
to see a game. For example , when Mllwail
kee nlnvB In Omaha and the pitcher io
, won't ho bo a drawing card fron
Lincoln ? And If they should happen to bo
there on a holiday. It would mean a stll
larger depopulation of the Capital City
Lincoln fans do not forget Kid Speer tiu
Freddy Ilarnes. They are too largely re
sponsible for the landing of the pennant la
1S93. It will bo a gala occasion to have the
opportunity of seeing those favorltea at the
points again , and I fear the Lincoln contin
gent that hapnicins to be In Omaha that day
will be rooting1 for the Urowers. "

This will be Dan iHrouthers' twentieth
year In professional company.
The champion 'Iloston ' team and the Prince
ton Tigers will play three games thlo
spring.
The latest deal propcscd Is McAlecr oi
Cleveland and a bonus for Jimmy Kyan of
Chicago.
The terms of L. W. Llppert , late ot the
Durllngtoii club , have been accepted by
rittsburg.
lllll Bf'erltt and George Decker will fight
It out for the first base position on the
Chicago team.
'Manager ' Manning has signed a second
baseman In Johnny O'Brien who was with
Providence last year.
Manager O'Drlen Is alleged to have bought
Steve Griffin from St. Paul to play an out
field position In the Omaha .team.
The Peorla club lest $4,000 last year , but
the same olficer ; ( have been elected and the
stockholdcra are ready to try again.
Harry Sonlcr , who made a creditable record
with DCS Molnes , has been added to the
pitching corps of the Minneapolis team.
It Is said that McKlnney of Grand Rapids
has been signed by New Bedford. Thought
our mutual friend , Michael OiBrlen , had him
on his list.
Manager OlUrien will give a Chicago
amateur named Sickles a trial this spring.
Sickles Is said to bo the best amateur
pitcher In Chicago.
In eighteen games Hughes , the California
pitcher slgnej by Hanlon , had a batting
average of .362. Chance , the catcher pur
chased by Chicago , batted .407 in fourteen
games. i
It Is said that Buck Etoright will make a
stab at fame as manager of the fit. Joe
toam. While Buck can scarcely to rated
as another Anson , his previous experiences
ought to amply qualify him to fill the bill
at St. Joe. 4
Western league games certainly ought not
to lack ginger this year. With Tommy
Tucker , George Tcbeau , Perry Werdon and
Jack Glassccck all playing first bas"e there
ought to bo enough vociferation to satisfy
any ordinary array of bleachers.
A Grand Haplds dispatch Intimates that
Messrs. Schuman and O'Brien are using the
base ball ciaze In that city as a lover to In
duce the Omaha street railway company to
show a little more Interest in the location
of the franchise here. It states that If the
Omaha company will agree to extend Its
tracks to provide adequate facilities the
franchise will be located hero and that this
is the point on which the decision hinges.

August Lchr , the German champion bicycle
rider , who has been In thla country for a
few months , Is going back to the fatherland
during the coming week , with the Intention ,
tiowover , of returning to this coumtry during
the coming season. He has been consider
able elated by his victory over Nat Butler
at Bollealr , Fla. , recently , but hfi seems to
realize that he did not meet the American
sprinter at his best , The two are to co3 )
together again In tha Amerlctn s yle of race ,
paced by tandems , next May ,
Tom Llnton , the Welsh middle-distance
rider who has come to thjs country after
the ecalp of h's ' countryman , Michael , is
said to bo In perfect physical condition ,
according to a phyblclaii , who recently ex
amined him. There will bo considerable
ntercdt In a meeting between the two
Welshmen , not only on account of their
reputations , but also because of the fact
hat they may bo considered rivals from
> oyhood days. Both were born In the aamo
Ittle Welsh town. Doth learned to rldo to-
; ether. As lads , they played together , for
heir homes were less than 100 feet apart ,
lut with raclmg came rivalry and rivalry
blossomed Into grudges. Michael early de-
eloped championship qualities and was a
uccessful racing man when Llnton was
neroly n novice. But the latter , who has
nuch of the bulldog In him , persevered
intll It came to be a saying that any sports ,
nan was as game as Tom Llnton. Under
ho watchful eye of his brother Arthur , mow
lead , as a victim of too much racing , Tom
'came fast" until ho even defeated Michael ,
To do this agala Is his chief object In vlslt-
ng America , Ho came here once before
o do it , but Michael's presence was required
n Wales , so they did not meet en the path.
Physically the riders are very different ,
tlchael measures five feet , one and one-half
nches. while 'Llnton la four Inches taller ,
'hu llttlo one weighs 103 pounds and Llnton
29. The length of Michael's log Is thirty
nd one-fourth Inches and of'Union's thlrty-
hreo and one half. Michael's ohcst expan-
Ion Is only one and one-half Inches , and
Anton's four. The colt and thigh measure-
nenta of the midget are respectively twelve
nd one-half and eighteen and one-half
nchcs and of Llnton's fifteen Inches and
wenty and one-half Inches ,
The American Cycle Racing association Is
danning no less than nine big middle dls-
anco races this year 'between Llnton , ( Ml-
had and Taylore , the best three men In
he country at the game. They will race
ogether three 'times and each -will ride
gainst the other In three. They will bo the.
nlddlo distance races of the year , par cxcel-
ence.
Llnton has given It out cold that ho willet
ot ride on small tracks Indoors. Ho says
hat It affects his head and he will Insist
hat all lila races take place out of doors on
ilg tracks.
The vast place ) that bicycle racing has as-
umed in the sporting life of the country
s indicated In the annual report of Chair-
nan Mott ot the League of American Wheel-
ion racing board , During 1837 over 8,000-
)0 ) spectators witnessed races , paying $3GOO. .
00 for admission. The number of meets was
,912 , where 17,310 races were given , partici
pated lu by 9,000 racing men. These men
ccelved racing and pacemaking prizes to
ho value ) of (1,645,020 , giving the promoters
margin on the meets and incidentals of
1,089,180.
A new style of pursuit racing has been In-
reduced In 'Kuropa. The Idea , which
originated with a racing man , provides a fast
and exciting contest. The conditions are
that a number ot fast riders be placed around
tht > track , equal distances apart , and at the
report of the pistol each man must start
vith the object of overhauling the rider In
front of him , who , when caught , retires.
There- a time limit , and the rider covering
the greatest distance In that period , without
being overhauled , Is doclarcd the victor.
The \vlnnlnga and earnings of the leading
French rldfrs , same of whom will come to
this country within the nort mouth or two ,
clearly show that cycle racing was pro-Stable

Pomradour CbA5otirfor a moment has given
up his Jobberies 'at Fllzslmmons and Is
now abusing George' Slier , tno referee ot
the late unpleasantness at Carson City. By
the medium of innuendo and indirect hints
he allows you to draw but ono Inference ,
and that is that SJler deliberately entered
into a consnlracv with Fltz to clve Cccbett
the fmppe end of It In the decision at Car
son City. If Corbett Is to be believed , Slier
\uis too slow in the sixth round of tdat
affair at Carscci.
The record Is against the pug. Any num
ber of sportn kept tab with their watches
when Fltz slipped to his knees. Thuy say
that ho.is down exactly seven nccouds and
Sllof counted eight as ho was rising to his
foot. In regard to this little Incident Slier
Is reported to have said that In that sixth
round Corbett said "Count faster ; count

cccifidenco In himself than was generally
supposed.
A prize fighters' trust Is the latest thing
out and Hie only "Parson" Davles Is nt the
head of It. When the "Parson" was hero a
few months ago the Idea was budding In bin
brain and he let out a few links of It In con
fidence to the sporting editor. The Idea has
apparently sprouted now , for the "Parson"
bis gone to Now York to Interest O'Rourko ,
Brady and some of the rest of the managerial
clan In the scheme.
The trust Is to be confined at first to the
heavyweights. The scheme in brief Is to
liavo the public raise a subscription not
more than $1 to be accepted from any one
person ot $3.000 , with which a suitable
champlcoshlp belt Is to be presented to the
winner. If a fighter retains It through three
successive fights It Is to bo his property.
The purse to be contested for Is $0,000. Chal
lenges must be accompanied by deposits of
$2,000 and must bo accepted within thirty
lays after issuance , the contest to take place
not sooner than four months nor later than
eight months afterward. All this Is to be
regulated by rules. If a man falls to keep
an engagement ho is to bo blacklisted.
A report comes from the coast that Joe
Uhovnski and Slmrkey are matched to meet
n San Francisco on March 11 , but .
Sharkoy has apparently come under the ban
it last , on account of his ruffianly ring tac-
: lcs. Ho was to have had a go with big
Jeffries a few days ago , but the authorities
would not permit It , solely on account of
Sharkey's rep. Under the circumstances , It
s hardly likely that any club in the coast
town will undertake to put him on.
Tut Ilyan , the Australian heavyweight ,
who was looked upon as ono of the best box
ers that ever visited these shores from Aus-
ralla , Is at present on hla way to his homo ,
disgusted with < tbo usage he experienced at
ho hands of the boxers In this country ,
iyan was beateir 1m a ten-round bout by
Gus Ruhlln at New'Orleans a few months
ago , after which Uio went to San Fran
cisco , where hei" w a matched to meet
Joe Choynskl in h twenty-round bout at the
Empire Athletic clubi of that city , for a big
> ercentage of the gn'-ss ' receipts. This coa-
eet was to have bc'en decided on Tuesday
light. A week 'ago"Ryan ' tried to put hla
ralner , Tom L/aYisihg , to sleep with a
sneaky punch wllllc ( hey were engaging In
a friendly bout. ' butf Lansing : , eeeing the
vicious blow coming for his Jaw , suddenly
Ide-stepped and Janqbd his right heavily on
cyan's Jaw , knocking him out. Ryan then
amo to the concfnslon that as Lansing was
able to beat hlm. he would not be in It with
Choynskl , und ho" packed up his grip and
ailed on the first Jfteamer for his' homo.
This , at least , is the talc that floats In from
ho coast. . ' '
Considerable Interest Is being displayed In
iiiglllstlc circles over the bill which Senator
Jlllesplc has Introduced In the legislature of
Centucky to pull off finish fights in that
tate. The ultimate fate of the act , how-
ver , is not likely to be favorable to pugilistic
nterests.

Billiard playing has not apparently held
luch public Interest In the city of late
ears. 'By this Is meant that Interest has
ot manifested Itself much In the way of
oiirnaments , for there are any number of
men In the city who dally with the cue at
very opportunity. 'But It has been long
Inco anything like the handicap tourney for
io state championship which has been go
ng on nt Foley's has taken place , That
ully demonstrated that there are a goo3
nany men who are as anxious to look at a
; oed game of billiards as to play and that
urnlshcs ono of the best crlterlons of the
jopulailty of the game. At every one of the
; ames there was a good crowd of spectators
nd they Invariably remained until the last
troke of the cue , The games themselves
vero ot - 'oiaeraulo Interest as the playing
vas frequently of good character.t every
no of them good shots were to be seen , and
once In awhllo ono that was a good ways
above the ordinary. Tom Foley deacrves
the thanks of the crank for the tourney ,
Ho put up the prizes , the flrst being a
handsome gold medal and the other ono of
the best cues to bo obtained.
Jake Schaefer made good his boast that
ho could beat George Slosson , the champ-
Inn billiard player , by defeating him in the
contest between the two recently In New
York. To bo sure , ho did not pull out with
much leeway , being only four buttons to
the good , but that was as sufficient as a
string , The game sec-sawed enough to
keep the spectators on the qul vivo through
out the match. The best run was fifty-
eight and was made by the wizard. His
average was 7 11-27 and that of Sloseou 7

The anticipation that the sporting ele
ment of the city would bo gtvcu an oppor
tunity of seeing more tug-of-war matches
this -winter seems likely to end In disap
pointment. The three which took place at
Turner hall Juat whetted the appetite , which
was further btrengthened by several an
nouncements that , challenges would bo
shortly flying tbro'ugji the air. None of
these have materialized up to date and there
seems to ba no indication that they will bo
forthcoming. i ,

I3AIILV TltAP SHOOTING KVKXTS.
1'rniiiUc of Good Sport for ( lie iMcn

The trap shooting season will soon be on
In cnrticst and It promises to bo prolific
of good events. During the last year or
two there have been many complaints that
the entries were too largely confined to
the professional marksmen on the pay rolls
of various supply and gun concerns , and
that the real sportsmen who shoot for thnlr
love of the pastime were almost entirely
absent. Some explanation for this may be
found In the hard times that have pre
vailed , but now that business la again on
a satisfactory basis It is to bo expected
that this season the tournaments will re
ceive a more grattfyliiE patronage.
( Among the tournaments which are already
scheduled there are a number that are In
easy reach of Nebraska and lena sportsmen
and some of 'the cracks will undoubtedly
figure In the scores. The first in sight Is
the Contra ! Iowa Amateur tournament ,
which comes off at Stanhope iMorch 22 und
23. C. W , iBudd's big tournament at Dos
iMolnca Uprll 19 to 22 will bo a bigger Ut-
tractlon and will probably draw quite a
representation of cracks from this vicinity.
There is a big shoot booked at Independ
ence , la. , i.May 10 , 11 and 12 , and the Mis
souri state tournament comes off at Kansas
City May 1C to 21. This Is followed by the
Nebraska , state tournament , which begins
May 24 , and the See Gun club of Sioux City
will glvo Its fourth annual tournament Juno
21 , 22 and 23.
Locally the only events of the week were
a couple of races at the Council Bluffs
grounds Thursday , which were decidedly In
teresting. The flrst was a four-handed
race , In which Smead and Somalia of this
city met Hardln and Bercshclm of Council
Bluffs ton fifty birds per man , and for once
the Iowa men came out on top. Hardln
and Beresholm killed forty-seven birds each ,
while Simaha and Smcad were compelled
to knock off with forty-four and forty-three
respectively. In the second race J. C.
"Plumber" defeated "Kkalb" by 43 to 42.
Reports from along the Platte Indicate that
qulto a number of ducks were seen at vari
ous points during the early part of the
week. The game was scarcely numerous
enough , however , to bring out any of the
guns , and the cold snap that followed had
driven the birds back to a warmer climate
for 'the present ,
There seems to bo no chance that Fred
Gilbert and Captain Brewer can be- brought
together. Gilbert ins'sts on shooting at
Watson's grounds and Brewer -wants to lo
cate the race at Long Branch or some other
of the eastern grounds. As no one seems to
want to shoot with Gilbert on Ms own
grounds , it looks as though he would have
to leave Ills gun In the bag.

The following study in problem construc
tion , contributed by C. Q. DeFronce of Lin
coln shown the variations which can bo
given to almost any position , apparently
transforming It Into an entirely different
problem. The two pioblems below bear a
strong similarity In relative positions and
key moves , and the difference Is very little
more than a mere transposition of pieces.
In speaking of the possible variations In
problem construction , Mr. DeFranco renurks :
"I got to wondering the other day if the
time will ever come when every cheas prob
lem possible to be made will have been pub
lished. What with English , Russian , French ,
Italian and German magazines and other
periodicals publishing problems every clay , It
would seme that at some time In the near
future every available combination of pieces
will have been used In problem-making. The
moro I thought over the matter , however ,
the more thoroughly did I become convinced
that such a condition will not bo reached In
the lifetime of any person now living. I
knew that many problems which appear uu-
llko each other have very slmlac ! combina
tions and key moves. I knew that any
problem whatsoever might by transposed and
an apparently now ono arranged. And this
knowledge led me to Investigate further ,
resulting in some discoveries which may beef
of Interest to readers of The Bee who are
Interested in che s.
"In the first place I aesiimo that a good
chess problem must have but one key-move
and that usually ono that neither checks the
black king nor captures a black piece. Of
course , If exceptlenally fine combinations
result from a key-move that checks or cap
tures , U Is proper , and the Immediate result
of such a move should bo a pacrlfice. Now ,
take any good problem of two or throe
moves ; place the pieces on the chefs board ;
then move every piece on the K side to its
corresponding square on the Q side , and
vice versa , both black and white ; the same
piece that was used In making the key-
move before will bo used for that purpo-'o
la the new problem ; If the key then wcs 11
to KB C , It will be B to QB C now. The
now problem thus formed Is really nothing
but an anti-type of the old , and each combi
nation of pieces made In mating will be but
a reflection of one In the old problem. This
rule applies to all problems , but where no
pawns are used It Is possible to so change
the pcsltlcn of the plocc.3 that the new
problem beano scarcely a noticeable' llkfi' i > ate
to the parent , and yet preserves the combi
nations Intact. "
With the solutions next week the author
will give an analytic of his me-thoi ! of con
structing the problems below and other
variations which would give them an en
tirely now appeartuce ,

F. J , N. , Wallace Neb. The solution to
problem No. 11 of Queen -to Knight's square
results not In what you supposed to be a
checkmate , but In rt stale mate which Is
equivalent to a drawn game and which
occurs when the king U not In check , but
has no move which will not place him In
check. Also the plt-co which you styled the
rook Is known as the queen ,

After many fruitless efforts the Ameri
can Whist league trophy has been brought
as far west as Chicago by the victory ot
the Chicago Whist club over Toledo by nine
points In a recent tournament. Ot the Chi
cage players Wood and Parry are considered
the strongest players In their city , though
they have never previously appeared In a
team of four In a tournament. Toledo tried
thn same plan of combining two strong pairs
to play In their team , but without equal
success. With the trophy In GO accessible
a location as Chicago there la no reason why
Omaha should not join In the fight with
St. Louis , Minneapolis , Milwaukee and other
cities to bring It still further west. There
is certainly enough talent In this section of
the country to keep the honor In circulation
hero and there Is llttlo prospect that It will
be contested for by eastern players , as
there seems to be a general fooling that they
have enough to attend to nt home. They
promise , however , If there Is no match
within a few weeks , a delegation will come
out to stir things up.
Among the many unmistakable signs ot
the great change which has taken place In
the tactics Of wills ! s.iv.q n wrltxr In Mm
Now York Sun , none Is moro striking than
the recognition of the fact that there are
such things as "bad openings. " When whist
was played on the long suit theory there
was only ono possible opening from any
given hand ; the trump If you had five or
more ; the long suit If you had four or more.
The composition of the suit selected did
not cntor Into the question and players who
held ace queen or king Jack were told
that such suits were very nice things to have
and they were taught to 'get rid of them
Immediately by leading them. It never
seems to have occurred to them that n suit
which was a good thing to liavo might bo a
good thing to keep , especially when the rest
of the hand suggested the probability of a
rainy day. The number of tricks that were
lost simply by leading away from tenaces
compared with the number that would have
boon won by keeping them quiet until somc-
ono else led them , wastfnevor Investigated.
The first statistics on thb Wbjeet were pub
lished In the Rochester Post-Express about
a year ago and the matter has been fully
Investigated since.
