' In Just a month from tomorrow the Omaha
/atis will sec the first game of cbamplonitilp
tall that boo been played In Nebraska lu
nearly three years and they arc looking
forward to the event with the anxious on j
tlclpatlon of appetites long unsatisfied. In
e couple of weeks the Omaha team will bt
hard at work on the new grounds , getting
In shape for the season , and we will have
n chance to ECO how Manager O'lJrlcn's
Rrcgatlon will show up beside the othur
Wcstein League teams. As ttic team now

that will make It rank well up with the
best of them.
Thcro has been little doing during the

familiar. lint It la worth noticing that
miny of the cranks who were exclaiming j
ngalnst this location en the ground that UI i
was too far out have changed their tune , !
sloco they hiivo scon0at a handsome and | I
commodious park the now grounds will 11 I
make. Arrangements have been made with I
the street railway company by which the
( Circe biggest lines In the city will land t s-
eengcrs at the gates and the Increased
street car facilities will more than offset '
the short additional ride. After all It may
tic considered fortunate that the University
grounds were not seemed , for the mor j
the new alto Is considered the better It
pcenica to be adapted to tde purpose. When
the Improvement now In progress arc com
pleted Omaha will * ave the finest ball park
In the west and the facilities for reaching
it will be practically unlimited.
The street railway ofllclals are especially
pleased at .Manager O'nrlen's selection. Super
intendent Smith end Secretary Cloodrlch
agree that It Is the best that could pcaslbly
liavo been secured and they say that the
company will be In a portion to handle the
traffic with a celerity that would have been
impossible had any other location been se
lected. Superintendent Smith says the
company will extend Its Twenty-fourth street
line to the grounds at the curliest possible
date. It cannct bo done In time for the
opening games on account of the numerous
other projects that the company has on hand ,
but the extension will positively bo put In
before the team returns for the long stay at '
home In June. Arrangements have already
been made to extend the Twentieth street
line on Lake street to Twenty-fourth , and
when the Twenty-fourth street extension Is
completed the Sherman avenue , cross-town
and Twentieth street lines will run right to
the grounds. Thre lines will give the best
possible facilities for reaching the grounds
from any part of the city. Superintendent
Smith also calls attention to the fact that
the crowds can be handled on the return
trip with greater ease than has ever been
possible before. The grounds are directly
west of the big car barn on Ames avenue ,
where reserve ears are always on hand , and
when It la time for the game to end It will
only require a minute or two to run out all
the cars that are necessary to carry the
crowd home. There will bo absolutely no
delay and the patrons of the game can all
bo comfortably on their way homo to euppcr
within threeor four , minutes after the last
man t * out. The value of these conveniences
will bo more fully appreciated by experience ,
end It Is dollars to cents that after a dozen
games havo. been played the public will be
moro than satisfied with the change.
While the Improvements on the grounds
have scarcely been begun , the plans have
been fully decided on and they glvo a very
ncurato Idea of the advantages that the park
will offer. The park la one of the prettiest
pieces of ground 'In the city , covering Cour
full blocks without a break and as level as
a parlor floor. The grader and roller will
bo kept at work during the greater part of
thin week and will leave the park as smooth
and hard as could possibly be desired.
The main entrance will bo on Ames ave
nue , at about the center of the park , and the
grand stand will front directly north. The
diamond will face In the same direction and
the bleachers will run out on each Bide ,
completing nearly a eeml-ctrclo around the
place. The arrangements for carriages will
bo the bcflt that are possessed by any ground
in the league. They will enter at a special
gate near the southeast corner of the park
end drive around the outside of the field , go
ing out at another gate at the southwest
corner. This will avoid all confusion and
the grounds will be. largo enough to allow
emplo fielding space Insldo of the rail that
will shut off the carriages. The lack of
sufficient space for these conveniences has
always been seriously felt In Omaha , and
when the arrangements are complete the
most critical patron will scarcely be able to
suggest a feature that could bo Improved
upon.
The base ball writers agree In declaring
that Omaha has been very ecurvlly treated
fcy the National League In the Tucker deal.
The local club was fairly entitled to the
benefit of Its good Judgment In securing
Tucker when none of the National League
cluba were willing to put up e paltry J300
for him and it was manifestly unfair that
the managers who turned up their nose at
him when bo was free should be allowed to
como in now and take him away from a
manager * that had sense enough to know a
good thing when' ho caw It. Out this la
far from being the first outrage that has
been perpetrated by the big league on the
weaker organVatlons and there la nothing to
do but grin and bear It.
The Sporting Life , which Is entitled to bo
considered an authority In Into ball matters ,
files into a ridiculous rage on account of the
action of John T. Brush and other western
managers In securing the action relative io
rowdy ball at the St. Louis meeting. It de
votes several full pages to scurrilous abure
of Mr. inrush and his associates , whom It
choosea to characterize as would-bo dlctutorn
and ovcro % ylth childish antmcslty that they
will ruin the game. The animus for such
uncalled for temper Is difficult to discover.
While , the measures taken at St. Louis may
not bo perfectly adapted to the purpose that
they propose to serve , they mark a distinct
advancement In the direction of gentlemanly
conduct on the ball field and will un
doubtedly eliminate an element that has
como to be a serious menace to the future
of the game. The decent and respectable
clement that constttutra the principal patronage
ageof 4ho game Is In thorough sympathy
with the new legislation land no publication
1 likely to increase Its prestige by acrid
opposition to a movement that promises to
prevent the disgraceful sccnca that have
dltguotcd more than one audience during the
last two year * .

Connie Mock Is another manager who Is
having all sorts of trouble with ambitious
players who refuse to sign at the salaries
offered. Nearly oil ttie managers are having
more or less of the same experience , but a

Fred Qcodrlch and Len Davloe returned
Friday from a two weeks' hunt at Lake
Qulnncbog. They had a good time and good
shooting during most of their stay.
The elxth annual tournament of the
Oeceola Gun club will be held at Osceola ,
April 7 and 8. The management will add
$200 to the purses and the contests will be
open to all comers. '
The Lincoln ( Neb. ) Gun club will hold tto
first amateur shooting tournament on April
19 , 20 and 21 , Instead of April 13 , 14 and 15 ,
as : previously announced. The change Is
made because the dates first selected clashed
with the tournament to bo hold at Atchlson ,
Kan.
Judge Shields , Harry Counsman , Sandy
Grlswold and George Scrlbner took a day off
early In the week and made a raid on the
haunts of the ducks near De Soto. Their
bag for the day consisted of seventy-five
ducks , mallard , teal and redheads , a very
pretty day's shooting.
On April 13 Mr. C. A. Shafer of the Chey
enne Gun club and Dr. Jcsurun of the Doug
las Him club will shoot a rifle match at
Douglas , Wyo. , for $50 a side. Other
mitches will probably bo arranged for the
fca mo day , as thflro seems to bo considerable
rivalry between the two clubs.
Arrangements have been made between the
Douglas and Cheyenne Gun club. ? for a three-
man team race at Douglas , Wyo. , on April
12. Each man will shoot at fifty Ilvei birds ,
the stakes being $150 a side. The Cheyenne
club will bo represented by John Von Ken-
ncll and Ed afid John Schuencir.on , and the
Douglas club by Dr. Jfeurun , Al Rico and
Fred nimlngton.
The National Gun club of Milwaukee , WIs. ,

men are pretty scarce , and 80 per centers are
none too plentiful.
J. F. Burgees and Charley Saunders of the
city treasurer's office went out on the Platte
after ducks one day last week , but in the
face of the approach of two such redoubtable
nlmrods , the birds took to flight and when
they arrived on the sandbars there was not

I'rciinrntliinn for the Snniincr'it Event *
In Competition.'h
Among easteru colleges the training of
athletes for tbo spring sports Is rapidly ud-
vanclng. Thcro appears to bo a revival ot
Interest In track atdletlcs. In base ball
thcro la no lack of Interest , but thcro la no
Indication that the leaders will bo reprc-
eented by nines of moro than mediocre stand-
Ing. In rowing thcro is ttie greatcct In-
tcrcst and the prospects for the fastest
crows that there have been for many years.
The reasans for the activity among the
eastern oarsmen are not difficult to dis
cover. Yale Is etllt smarting from IU de
feat of last year by the speedy Cornelllans ,
while Harvard , Columbia and Pcnnsyhaula
have so many defeats to avenge that they
are straining every effort to get out win
ning clews. There are to bo two big races.
The ono Is to bo rowed at New London
among Cornell , Yale and Harvard ; the other
at Saratoga or Poughkcepslo among Cornell ,
Columbia and Pennsylvania. All the crews
are now on the water , Yale being tue first
to get out for practice , and Cornell the
last. It Is natural that public attention
should center on the crews of Cornell and
Yale , since It Is pretty generally believed
that all the other crews can be more ot
less easily defeated by them.
At Cornell there has been more or lees
consternation at the prospective loss of two
of the bet oarsmen of last year's champion
crew. Carter Is soon to leave the univer
sity for family reasons ; Brlggs , the 128-
pound stroke , was prevented from rowing
for a time by parental objection , but that
has been overcome and there Is once again
joy in the Cornell camp. It Is possible , how
ever , that In addition to Carter the crew
may lose Odcll. Last year's freshman crew
Is rowing just as last year. Its work on < he
water plainly showed It was Its initial work
of the season , for its rowing was quite rag
ged. The 'varsity crew Is rowing as follows :
Brlggs , stroke ; Dalzell , 7 ; Bailey , 6 ; Odell ,
5 ; King , 4 ; 'Moore , 3 ; Bentley , 2 , and Wake-
man , bow. Captain Colson acts as coxswain
as usual. They socm to row together beau
tifully , possibly or account of the marked
contrast to the freshmen. A number of old
crew men have been In town the last week.
Including F. n. White , ' 95 , and Hugh Fay ,
' 90. They expressed themselves as highly
gratified with the freshmen material and
the season's outlook.
The Yale crew has continued regular work
on the harbor and on Tuesday rowed In a
shell for the first time this year. There has'
been no great dcparturo from the stroke
rowed last year , though the general appear
ance of the crew at work Is rather different.
The rigging of the boat has not been
changed , except that the a > eats have been
raised a little. On Monday the eight rowed
over the four-mile course from the light
house , on time , for the third time within
the last two weeks. This fact Is Interesting ,
as last year's crow rowed the four miles
against time on but three occasions before
going to Now London. J. P. Brock , 1900 , who
was out of college on account of lllneta , re
turned last week and resumed his t > cut at
3. H. A. McGee , ' 99 , waa kept out of the
boat by conditions up to Thursday , when
he went back to his old place at 4. On
Tuesday Williams was taken sick and went
to the infirmary , R. M. Paterson , 1900 , who
has been rowing bow In the second boat ,
taking hie place. The general order of the
crew throughout the week has been : Stroke ,
n. P. Flint , ' 99 S. ; seven , J. C. Greenleaf ,
' 99 S. ; six , F. W. Allen , 1900 ; five , J. W.
Cross , 1900 , four ; R. A. McGce , ' 99 S. ;
three , J. P , Brock , 1900 ; two , captain ,
Payne Whitney , ' 98j bow , R. W. Paterson ,
1900. The men are being coached by Bob
Cook , who has been at New Haven con
tinuously since the Christmas holidays ,
while Kennedy , the professional oarsman ,
looks after the rigging of the beats and
quietly tips off Cook about the relative
merits of his candidates.
Just outsldo of Boston on the Charles
river the eight class crews of Harvard and
half a dozen ot the Weld 'boats were mak
ing the most of the good weather. The
sophomores have virtually selected their
men , and the eight who have been taken
to the training table represent the final
makeup of the crew. With three excep-
Poughkeerslo crew last year. The men
taken to the training tables are Hlgglnson ,
Hyrd , Diddle , Saltonstall , Leo , Harding , Her-
ford and Heath. |

executive committee of the Intercollegla-te

very contest In which he ha. ? engaged haa
eft a bad odor. Ho managed to stay four
ounds with Jim Corbctt by a style of
wrestling peculiarly his own. He was
necked out by Fltzslmmons , but the latter
was robbed of the decision. He fought Pete
.laher . seven rounds In New York and when
he was be-aten resorted to tufalr means ,
auslng the police to Interfere and stop the
fight. He recently defeated poor old Joe
Goddard ' , but the latter was a poor aubject
'or any strong man to fight.
As a result of his fight with Choyr.sk I
George Green has proved himself n good
lompetltor of Wyatt Earp. Despite the fact
bat Sharkey's fouls were most flagrant ,
Green did not have the nerve to declare the
fight against him. It Is said that he waved
Sharkoy back to bis corner after palpable
ouls no less than ' 'even times , with the evi
dent Intention of awarding the fight to
hoynskl , but that ho was too weak-kneed
o InslsU on the right course. One explana-

money put up on-both sides that he "didn't

ho had to. " Thla Is a now rule for future
referees and pcsscsscs a decided charm
of originality. One > thing seems to be pretty
certain. That Is , that the gamblers , practi
cally dominate San Francisco sporting affolni
and that Green had his lustruclons from
hem.
The fight was a hard one. Until he had
ecelved a couple of stiff jabs from
Choynskl's mil the sailor fought square. He
commenced then to use his elbows and head ,
pushing and wrestling and butting Cboynskl.
n the fifth round the sailor rushed Joe to
he ropes and threw him to the ground. In
he eighth and last round Sharkey came up
omparatlvcly'strong end began his rushing
and wrestling until he bad Choymkl on
ho floor. The latter came up and jabbed
Shaikey In the face with his left , following
"
"t with a hard right on the jaw. Tom fell
back under the onslaught and seemed to drop
"
: ils arms. Suddenly he lowered his head anJ
came .at Choynskl like a , mad bull , throwing
him entirely through < the ropes and on the
seats below. After this the fight was. de
clared a draw.
From the start Sharkey was very wild
n his delivery , but when be landed he hurt.
Fits blows had all the power that this strong
man has been noted forj Choynskl tried tbo
game of a general , , and , endeavored to wear
his man down by thosj vicious jabs lot which
he has a well-founded reputation. The
nasty , cutting prods , he employed had good
effect , and , at the 'same tlmi > , bad effect.
They went far , at one time , toward making
his opponent groggy , hut also tantalized
Sharkey to such an extent that ho lost his ,
head and 'brought Into play the foul methods
by which he bas earned such an unenviable ,
'
reputation. That Sharkey can strike a
terrific blow was shown several times. To
floor a man of Cboynskl's shiftiness Is a
trick that few men can accomplish. Yet
Sharkey did the act twice in the fifth round
and twice more in the sixth. Brave and
true , Choynskl always came back , however ,

ting his opponent with those incisive , smart

Once Cboynskl landed a full and strong
right-hander on Sharkey's ribs , and this
added to the cx-sallor's discomfiture. For

so much punishment , however , that he could
not at that time finish him.
Sporting men will bo surprised to learn
that | the valuable lightweight championship
belt presented to Jock McAullffe when ho .
V
defeated Jimmy Carroll of England was put 1
up at auction sale In New York last week ,
as It had not been redeemed from a pawn
broker. No ono offered to buy. The belt
U a very elaborate affair of Hold , silver and
enamel. It cost originally about $2,500 or
$3,000. Upon the front appears the name
of the donor and a picture of McAullffe. Tbo
belt Itself Is composed of massive squares
of silver , upon which are figures in gold.
The squares are linked together with -minia
ture ring posts and ropes.
By the end of nex't ' week the sporting world
at large will be a'ble to judge Just how
much Peter Jackson has retained of bis won
derful vitality and cleverness through the
four years ot easy life that he has been In
dulging In. Peter Is to meet Jim Jeffries
at San Francisco next week for a twenty-
round contest , and , according to reports , the
big colored man has trained down to 195
pounds from 210 pounds , which he weighed
when ho started In upon his training. The
club under whoso auspices the men are to
meet had a doctor examine Peter as to his
physical condition , which was found to be
excellent.
The stand that Jack Daly of Philadelphia
made last Thursday against Lavlgne proved
to be a little surprise party to those who
were somewhat distant from the eceno of
the fight. Right on the spot , however , tbo
sports scorned to size up the game pretty
well , for Just before the contest plunk for
plunk was demanded in the betting. Since
the kid polished off the black boy Walcott
on the coast , giving him big odds In weight ,
he was looked upon as the premier at his
weight. It Is said , however , that slnco ho
haa struck the east he has been hitting the
pace pretty hard. Whatever the cause of It ,
he seemed to have had a pretty close call for
his title , for the press account ot the light
appears to give the Philadelphia la'i a good
bit the best end of J,1 J
Pete .Maher found an easy mark In Steve
O'Donnell last week , TJio latter was unable
stand more than two rounds of his stiff
work. U ia the fourth time that the two

two rounds or less three times. Maher Is
slowly looming up Hisd'a strong champion

The prospect te thai'Frank Agan will ap-
prar on the racing track again this season
Ho has not been out staco 1896. In his last | "
race of the season of that year at Lexing fc
ton bo wrenched his ankle and went lame fcfc fcn
He proved ot no account last year and It fc
was generally considered that bo had | °
reached the end of his string. He waa fc
looked after carefully , however , and It U 61
iwv. ' believed that ho Is In condition for 61ei
campaigning again. Barring Pointer , bo p
ought to glvo all < ho sldewbeelers a run it
the money. Perhaps Gentry and Joe d
Patchen may bo considered a shade superior
class , but ho ought to hold more tbj
own with Guinnette , Bumps , Planet
Frank Bogart and the rest of that clats. tl
Agan's great' ' season was that of 1600 , Ho w
developed that year from a second-rater teat
star. All through that seaton be v.us a m
wonderful horse and at different times beat I di
the cracks , Ia9ludlng Gentry , Star Pointer , * T
rtobcrt J and Joe Patchon. Perhaps his
moat sensational victory that sa on was
when ho took Robert J and Joe Patchen
lute camp ot the Cleveland grand circuit
meeting , pacing his three heats In 2:05 : ,
2.04 and 2:01 : % but he went a better ono
the next week at Columbus , although he
\\iU defeated. Ho won the first hc.tt In
2:03 : % and finished almrst head etui head
with Robert J In the ' qc.\t three In 2.0114 ,
2:01 : % , 2:02 : % . Thla'is the fastest tour-heat
race ever paced , and when the two met at
I'rcyMcnce , H , I. , a few weeks liter they
paced tlio best five-heat race ever witnessed.
This time the verdict was reversed , Agan
taking the last three heats In 2:03'4 : , 2:03' : * ,
2:00 : , after having forced "little Robert" out
In the first two Iti 2:03V4 : and 2:05. : Later In
the season ho met Gentry and Pointer , then
In trjnacondant form , and could beat nlthcr.
Still ho gave Pointer a tough argument and
forced hlai to break the record for tlireo
heats at Rcadvllle , Mass. , the time of the
ruco being 2.02 % , 2:03 : % , 2:03 : % , which has
never since been beaten. Only two weeks

A radical change Is likely to be noticeable
thl ? season In golf circles from the custom- '
ary method of open tournaments In favor
of the invitation tournament. The St. Au "
dreys' and Slilnnccock Hills Golf clubs , two
of the biggest In the country , have decided
to give no open tournaments this year , bu
to make their big annual events Invltaticn
ones. This change Is Indicative of th
growth of golf during the last few yearn
Two years ago a club wanted all the players
It could get In Its big events and even then
from twenty to forty was often the limit
Last year , however , witnessed many con-
teats ici which over seventy competitors
started , in some cSses.pearly 100. The dlf
ference between the systems 1 that the open
event permits any golfer to cntfr > ( he only
limit generally being in confining tbo con
testants to those who are members ot club. '
In the United States Golf association , al
though this Is not always rigidly adhered to
In the invitation tournament cnly tliosi
players can compete who receive an Invita-
tion from the club to do so. The plan Is no
due to any desire on the part of tbo club to :
excluslveneEs , but Is simply adopted as a
necessity for the club itself and the con
testanW.

To the novlco the discharge of a big gun
a startling thing , relates the New York
Tribune , and may bo followed by unpleasan
results unless the usual precautions are
taken. The men brace themselves for the the
shock which follows the discharge of a big der
gun by holding the arms rigid and the hands
well away from the body , to glvo the lungs
free play. They also keep the mouth open
and by that means equalize the pressure on
the ( lungs , bead and eardrums.
"It Is a question which admits of some are
argument , " eald the naval reserve man
"whether the discomfort comes from out'
ward preisuro In consequence of the conciis < air
slon or from the vacuum created after the
shock. The fact that men who use cotton
their ears experience more trouble than
those who use no external protection shows
that there is much to fear from vacuum and
natural pressure from within. Bursted ter
eardrums and ruptured blood-vessels are
less likely to follow the discharge of big
guns when those who stand nearby keep
tbclr mouths open and their anna extended
from the body. "
