23 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , MAY 8 , 1808.
SPORTING GOSSIP OF A WEEK
Omaha's Experience in the North Has Been
Inevitable Result.
TEAM DOES WELL UNDER CONDITIONS
Lack or Prncdce the One Thin * Mont
Needed , nn Individual Strength
Ham Shown Out Well
IB the 1'lny.
The Omaha fans , unfortunately , have little
occasion to congratulate themselves very
much on the showing that the Babes have
made upon their first trip from home. Not
counting yesterday's game , which occurred
after this column went to press , the team
played eight games and only won one. They
have played a total of thirteen games this
ecnson and only three of the number were
captured. The only bit of consolation lies
In tbo fact that Detroit , which had the best
preliminary training in the league , Is run
ning behind Omaha , which had the poorest
of ante-season training.
The losing to the Saints was expected , per
haps not In such big gobs , but still It did
not come as much of a surprise. The Saints
are putting up probably the best article ot
the great American game In the entire
league , the Champions not accepted. But It
was believed that wo would line up better
f against thp Millers , and It was a sore dis
appointment that the Babes were able to take
{ .only one of the live games played away from
" 'them.
) ! The whole trouble lies In the erratic man-
vncr In which the team Is playing. There Is
' no banking on the sort of game they will
k put up. Ono day they put up a brilliant
flcldlng game , the next they go to pieces.
Same reason for this is found In the fact
that the aggregation has not proved as
strong on the slab ns was expected. Fisher ,
Daub and Hagerman have all been off color ,
'Muuck was a failure/and Monroe did not do
.Very well In his Initial game. This looseness
on the part of the twlrlcrs has had the natu
ral effect upon the men behind them.
The Individual work has also been erratic.
In the beginning of the series away from
homo Iloat played poorly , whereas , In the
Jast games he has been carrying off what-
, cvcr honors may have been loft for Omaha
'to carry away. Eustace has also been In-
'conslstcnt In his work. McCauley , in the
.last two or three games , fell off badly. Holly
has been the only ouo of the bunch who
has been at all consistent. Even Denny
Lyons , the steadiest man on the team , has
" dropped ono now nnd then. The outfield has
also proved weak. During a big part of the
time Burnett nnd Griffon both did well nt
the stick and in the Held , but they have
tripped up occasionally. The other garden
has been looked after by Lawler , Fisher and
Hagerman , with more or less success. Man
ager Fisher has written to the sporting ed-
vltor while away that ho has been looking
for good outfielders , and hoped to pick up
' /one or two before the arrival of the team at
home , but from last accounts be has not
been successful.
The batting of the men has been poor , It
must bo admitted. Once in a while they
have landed In fairly good shape on the ball ,
, but considered ns a whole , their work with
the stick has been bad. The particular dlffl-
'culty has been that they are unable to hit
the leather at the time when hits are needed.
But it is worthy of chronicling that with
the exception of the two heavy defeats at
the hands of the Saints the boys played
. .with n good bit of sand. Both thp St. Paul
' , 's'aml Minneapolis papers have remarked that
they have been' playing a savage game , even
with defeat staring them in the face. If
they display that sort of disposition while In
this City the local fans will be likely to over
look some of their other faults. A good
crowd will probably bo out this afternoon to
see what sort of a game they put up after
their trip. The first of the series with
Kansas City will bo called at 3:30 : o'clock.
The batting averages resulting from the
week's work show a falling off. The team's
batting average a week ago was 22.5 ; this
week it Is 21.5. The' following shows the
batting averages of the individuals during
the week , compared with those of the week

May 30 , Mar 31 Md June 1. Detroit wilt
bo here on Juno 3 for a scries.
The end ot ( he week finds Indianapolis
till Installed at the top of the column , She
IBS played but few games , but they have
II been won. St. Paul dropped but one and
s right at the heels of the champions. Co-
umbus has still a good lead on the Blues.
The Brewers took the cipcctcd brace nnd
are now moving upward toward the top of
he second division. Detroit has been los-
ng right along , but managed to win one
'rom ' Milwaukee last Friday. The Detroit
1
aggregation has been a sore disappointment ,
t had the longest and the best anti-season
raining and yet It has been showing up
even more poorly than Omaha.
In the big league the Orioles and the
ilcds ore still making a neck and neck run
'or ' first position. In fact , the only change
ins been In the position of the Orphans ,
who have dropped down from third to fifth
position. There Is so llttlo difference bc-
, wccn them , the Trolley Dodgers and Cleve-
and aggregation , however , that tbo posl-
.lons are likely to be changed as a result ot
any day's games. The Drowns are still
at the bottom , but the Senators arc getting
nearer and nearer to them all the while.
The Giants took a big brace nnd are now
leading the second division. The Colonels
uivc forged ahead of the Senators , whllo
.ho Quakers arc struggling with the Pirates
'or a place next to the Giants. There has
jecn nothing of n noteworthy character In
the week's play.
Now York , Baltimore , Boston , Philadel
phia , Pittsburg and Brooklyn have now all
offered their base ball tosscrs a chance of
making some extra money. The conditions
arc that they finish pennant winners or In
second or third place.
Whatever doubts there may have been
among players or managers about the en-
'orcemcnt of the Brush rowdy ball rcsolu-
lon , the board of control at Its meeting a
vcck ago declared In vigorous tones that It
vould bo enforced to the letter. It says that
owdy ball must cease and asks the cooperation
ation of the public , the press , the managers
and the ball players In the enforcement of
ho resolution , and asks for complaints.
The board passed n long set of resolutions ,
setting forth what It propones to flo and how
t Is to bo done. Briefly the various sections
nro as follows :
Annual meeting will be held the first
Saturday prior to the opening of the playing
season.
The president can call a special meeting nt
iny time nnd In any city upon the request
of two members of the board ; in all serious
cases the president will notify the accused
and the accuser to be present or to be rep
resented by counsel , such meeting to bo
public.
After a decision has been forwarded to
the president of the league the members of
the board arc prohibited from discussing
the said decision either among themselves ,
In the press , verbally or In any way whatso
ever.
If the different members of the board
liave different views on ono case the presi
dent may call them together In n special
meeting for a general discussion of the sub-
lect.
lect.The
The president may accept affidavits , but
ho Is authorized to investigate the char
acter for veracity of the ones making the
affidavits.
The board organized by electing Kraut-
hoff president nnd Kramer secretary. Brush
met with them to elucidate , If necessary ,
the points of his resolutions , but this was
not necessary. The board was unanimous
on it.
Speaking of the rowdy resolution , n great
many fans in this city who know "White
Wings" Tebeau will appreciate the following
from the Milwaukee Wisconsin :
How different it is with v"Whlte Wings"
Tobeau this season. Last season wheri he
got into an argument with Manassau he 'ad
dressed him in'about tho'following ' manner :
"Say , you big-headed lobster , what do you
mean by giving us tbo high ball on strikes
and balls ? You oughter bo In a foundry
shoveling gas ! Yes , I mean just what I
say , and you bet your-llfe you got the dinky
dink when we get yer In Columbus ! Fine
me. will yer ? Well , I guess nit. You
couldn't flue a chicken. Go and learn the
business before you talk to we gents ! "
The other day Mr. Tebeau had occasion to
register a kick In the sixth Inning , but he
wont after the umplro in this manner :
"Now , Mr. Umpire , I know you nro all
right , but Just try and give us fellers a
good deal. I will not allow any of 'my
olaycrs to address you. because I know you
would not render an unjust decision under
any circumstance. You nro the best In the
league nnd wll always find mo ready'to
back you up. That ball looked like a strike
that Strelt delivered , but I know you could
better Judge it than I. " The umpire never
oven smiled at George and the latter walked
back to the Initial bag and wondered where
the rules would end.
The teams of Mctz Bros , and the Omaha
Brewing association will try to open the sea
son of the amateurs In this city this after
noon at the old Fort Omaha grounds. Owing
to the bad weather of last Sunday the sched
uled game was not played.
The new uniforms of the Mctz Bros. ' team
bavo been ordered and are expected in about
n week. They will bo of dark green cloth
with lighter'green caps , belts and stockings.
The team will be captained by Bradford nnd
managed by Harry Sage. By addressing the
latter at 1021 North Sixteenth Etrect any team
in or outside the city who want to bump up
against the aggregation will bo accommo
dated.
l | File * .
The first five men on the Now York team
are left-handed batters.
Gettman. the only Russian playing base
ball , leads the Senators In batting.
Frank Klllcn , who was considered Pitts-
burg's best pitcher last year , Is In clanger
of release.
Norton , Gear and Daub arc among the
college pitchers In the Western League. All
thrco belong to the same Greek letter so
ciety.
The Chlcagos have been playing such good
ball slnco the season opened that Windy
City cranks have for the time being for
gotten all about Anson.
Brooklyn's remarkably good batting up tc
the present time has surprised critics and
cranks. The team Is hitting at a rate sur
passed by none other.
Pitcher Clarke of Loulsvllo has been sus
pended for thirty days by President Pulllam
for threatening to thrash Secretary Dreyfus ,
He went to Dreyfus' oflico on account of a
fine.

Joe Corbett's differences with the Balti
more club are said to have been patched
uo and ho will probably report within the
next week or two. Corbett Is now In Cali
fornia.
Tobeau Is still confident that Pitcher
Cuppy will recover the use of his pitching
arm when hot weather begins , and will
then help the Clevclands to rush to the
front.
St. Paul papers are beginning to roasl
"Lobster" Glenalvln for his abusive lan
guage on the Held. A Brush resolution lr
the Western League would bo a good thins
for Glenalvln.
Timothy Hurst will try to convert Big
Mlko Mahoney Into a backstop. Big Mike
was ono of the regular catchers of the
Georgetown college team , and played flrsl
for the Browns until Decker was secured.
Twlrler Yager of the Trolley Dodgers IE
the most versatile ball player in the raojoi
league. Yager can play any position In the
In or outfleld , and can don the wind-pad as
though he were on more than noddingac
quaintance with backstopplng.
If It keeeps on raining Manager Hanlon
will need only two pitchers this season. Ol
the flrst nine games played by * the Orioles
so far McJnmes and Hughes hove pitched
eight Hoffer pitched the other , which wai
ono of Baltimore's two defeats.
Dowd and Turner are the only regulni
players In the St. Louis team who havt
batted above the .JOO mark. Decker , whe
who wai bought to do the heavy elugglnt

first elibt frames. Dowd has .478 In five

DIRECTORS A BIT FEARFUL
Fair and Hiirril Directory Fall * to
Take Action Looklnic to m
llnnnlnir Meet.
The board of directors of the local Fair
and Speed nsroclntlon again at the last meetIng -
Ing failed to take any action regarding the
proposed running meet this summer. Some
of the directors nro a bit leery of the pros
pect , fearing that the war will tnjuro the nt-
tendance or that they will bo unable to make
both ends meet. As the plan Is figured out It
looks like a dead cinch that the meet would
be a winner , In view of the mass of people
that nro bound to be In the city this sum
mer. The war will drive people who take
vacations hero Instead of keeping them
away. The matter Is down on the cards for
the next meeting , and may bo decided then.
Something will have to be done pretty soon
It the meet Is held.
As to the matter of getting the necessary
horses there will bo but little difficulty. For
example there will bo over 1,000 thorough
breds in Chicago during the coming season.
Only a comparatively few of these can win
and the remainder will bo more than anxious
to go somewhere where they will have n
chance of picking up a piece of money. With
any sort of n nice card a lot of them will
come , and among the number will be a
large proportion of good ones.
The Idea has been meeting with favor
among easterners and a number of horse
men cast of the Missouri have written to the
local directors , encouraging them to go
ahead.
The speed association has about com
pleted all arrangements for the light harness
meeting during the latter part of next month
and the privileges have all been let. Dur-
ng the last week 4,000 entry blanks have
jcen sent out and now Secretary Solomon Is
awaiting the answers. A good lot of horses
are expected , ns some $10,000 In purses will
bo distributed In the eighteen races of the
week's meet. Among them are a couple of
races for $1,000 each and two more for $000
apiece.
Two good young horses of excellent breed
are owned by a well known official living In
this city , who is n breeder. One of them Is
an 11-nionths-old colt , which arrived a few
weeks ago from Kentucky , and has been
named Kentucky Dabe. Ho was sired by
Expedition , 2:13 : % , of Electioneer , and hU
granddam Is a full sister of Maud S. The
other colt Is a 2-year-old , Hired by Al Lock-
hart , 2OSU. : who held the champion stallion
record for three heats until last year and In
the record trial went the last quarter of the
last heat in 0:29. : His dam Is Lady Mascot ,
2:254 : , out of Ucd Wllkcs. The latter will
be on the fair grounds track during the com
ing weak and will bo trained by William
I'rcstcr. Ho has been entered in all the
futurity stakes of the year.
As a result of the action of the congress
of the American Trotting association held
in Chicago last week , It looks as if that
body and the National Trotting association
would be at war this coming season. Th
two associations are now so far apart that
a conHlct Is bound to como whenever their
legislative fields como In touch with each
other. The trouble will result from thu
manner In which the congress disposed ol
the request of the National Trotting asso
ciation to follow its action in licensing
drivers and abolishing the use of hobbleu.
Amendments Incorporating the changes
were Introduced , but they met the recep
tion that was expected. There was very
little discussion of the proposed departures ,
and when n vote was taken the amendment
licensing drivers was rejected by a vote o (
204 to 2 , and the one doing away with hob
bles was thrown out by a vote of 204 to 1.
This action was taken to mean by those who
discussed it in the lobby the declaration ol
a war of more than passing Importance be
tween the two governing organizations ol
the harness racing world.
The congress took up another matter of Its
own volition , which will be favorably ac
cepted among the subjects of the associa
tion. It voted to go back to the distances
changed three years ago , and hereafter the
rules will again prescribe 100 and 1GO yards
Instead of 100 and seventy-live yards. Ac
the change of three years ago was not a
popular one , the .action of the association Iti
going back to former rules will prove a pop
ular one.
The following officers were elected : W. P ,
IJams of Terre Haute , president ; C. B. Me-
GI11 of Oskaloosa , vlco president ; J. H
Stciner of Chicago , secretary ; N. J. Colmnn
of St. Louis , E. C. Lewis of Chicago , T. H
0111 of Milwaukee , P. T. Moran of Detroll
and J. W. Fleming of Columbus , dircctoro.
During the middle of last month an In
teresting experiment In the breeding line
was begun at the Forbes farm , when Nauey
Hanks was foaled to the thoroughbred stal
lion , Meddler , Imported from England. Mr
Forbes believes that the fastest trotters
can bo bred from marcs having a thorough
bred crossing close up , and he proposed to
test the theory. Meddler Is n horse of goo , ]
trotting action that mates- well with trot
ting marcs. Three years ago this spring
the large , very fast mare Starlight , 3-yenr-
old record 2:15 : % . was mated to Meddler
and Superintendent Hall of the Forbes
farm , near Ponkapog , says that last fall , as
a yearling , the resulting filly could step ofl
a strong 2:40 : gait at the trot without any
foolishness about It , and Icccp on her feet
as well as any of the strictly trotting bred
ones. The half-breed filly is a beauty , very
highly finished , thoroughbred In appearance ,
and with bone and feet of the best , while
her trotting action is nil that can be desired ,
She is well developed , well grown and will
this year bo bred to Arlon or Dlngcn , EC
that In eighteen months or so from now
that Is , In , say , four and one-half year :
from the time Starlight was bred to Med
dler Mr. Forbes will be able to tell some
thing , only a very little to bo sure , bul
still something , as to the success or failure
of his experiment. This Is no very long
tlmo to wait In so Important a matter , ami
the experiment Is being so well made thai
the results will bo more definite than those
of many experiments of kindred nature
that have been made. Starlight Is by Elcc-
tloneer-Sally Denton , 2:17i : , once the holdci
of the 4-ycar-old trotting record , and Sallj
was by General Denton , out of famous old
Sontog Mohawk , by Mohawk Chief. On tor
of this aggregation of trotting blood comes
the thoroughbred cross in the Starlight filly ,
and should she be bred to Blngen whlcb
Is the Intention at this tlmo the blood ol
Electioneer , George Wllkes and old Norman ,
through the best channels , will bo super
imposed on the structure described. The
fllly herself Is a trotter , for any yearling
than can speed a stiff 2:30 : clip must be
called a trotter , and on her dam's side Is
rarely well bred from a trotting point ol
view.
M. do St. Quentin , vlco president of the
Socleto du Demi-Sang , has submitted tc
the French Chamber of Deputies a bundle
of petitions , containing some 200,000 signa
tures , emanating from over 400 agricultural
societies and racing associations In ovei
forty of the eighty-three departments , in
which the republic of France Is actually
divided , and asking for an Increase of duties
on Imported horses ; also insisting upon the
passage of the bill before the end of the
parliamentary session In May , Dy a ma
jority of 427 votes against CO , the bill wai
passed on March 30 , modifying duties on
imported horses as follows ; For stallions
geldings and mares , 5 years old and over ,
the general tariff will be $40 per head and
the minimum $30 ; under 6 years of age the
general tariff will be $30 and the mlnlmurr
| 20 ; colts aud nllleg will pay $15 and $10
While the new law wilt not ireatlr affect
the commerce of valuable trotters , It will
certainly have sobfcpjnfluenco on cheaper
material , the dutlea-oa such easily reaching
one-third of the market value of the ani
mal , It not more. ° '

The summer trdUlrVg meeting at Charter
Oak park at Hartford this year wilt have
something of a noVeHy In this country by
having two handicaps on the curd. This la
a decided departure'on ) this tide of tbo
Atlantic , although , harness racing lu Eu
rope Is conducted almost wholly on that
plan. Both races , ere opened to all horses
regardless of thclr cjjprds , the object being
to bring the bcstfYrifd the worst together
on equal terms. , Tlio official handlcapper
will detcrmlno where each horse Is to start ,
those supposed to'be * slowest being placed
on the scratch , or ; ( n other words , under
the wire ; while the others , according to
their recorded speed , are stationed at differ
ent points back up the stretch. Ability to
get away quickly and steadily will count for
almost as much speed , as the field Is to bet
t > cn ( away at the crack of n pistol from n
standing start. There will bo two heats lu
each race , the winner of each receiving $300 ,
the second horse $100 and the third $75.
The tiorso standing best In the summary at
the end of the second heat will get $50 ad
ditional and will bo adjudged the winner of
the race. This departure will bo watched
with considerable Interest by horsemen all
over the country.
The price of horseflesh 'n ' the east Is
booming upward , It being nald that the
market is stronger than It has been for
years. The eastern market Is belter than
the western , though n good many dealers
In the west are sending their horses In con
siderable numbers to Now Orleans In an
ticipation of securing better prices than In
the cast. The markets along the coast , be
ing deprived of the supply of western
horses are therefore asking higher prices
for the stock they have on hand. One ot
the reasons for the upward tendency , too.
Is on account of the war and another be
cause of the heavy foreign shipments. The
increase In the price of grain has also some
thing to do with It.
It Is stated that It will only bo n question
of a very short tlmo before a horsemen's
protective association Is formed In this coun
try , probably In the east first. Several at
tempts to organize such a bo-ly have been
made In the past , but they have all failed.
Recently , however , the matter was broached
In Now York nt a big meeting of horsemen
and It was favorably received.
It Is reported that the great Hamburg ,
for which the Montana copper king , Murcua
Daly , recently paid $40COO , has gone to the
post for the last tlmo. After his work ono
day last week he pulled up very lame be
hind. If It Is found that he cannot race
any more ho will be put In the stud , where
he ought to be a success , coming from a
racing family on both sides.
The mare Dush , 2:09Ms. : has been racing
for seven years.
Charley B , by .Charles Caffrcy , died not
long ago at Philadelphia of pneumonia. This
was ono of the finest.road geldings shipped
from Nebraska lni scycral years.
At the Elmenttoi'f istud , Vtctorlno has
foaled a full slater to Ornament.
The horses of tle ( > permnn cavalry regi
ments arc shod with ijapcr shoes , which are
both llcht aud durable.
The shipment ofhorses , and mules by the
Spanish government from Now Orleans to
Cuba and Porto lilcp lias been stopped. The
order was issued , Apri21. / .
Ben Brush willnotbe , , .sqnt.to England.
Such is the latestVrejport , the Keenes having
determined to runTblin ip the Suburban and
Brooklyn handicap.
Ted Sloane lode his first race of the sea-
Eon lu New York last week. He did not
make much of n BUCCCES , for he was thrown ,
left at the post , lined and did not get a place
on two favorites.

There will be quite a circuit of shooting
events In this state , Iowa an ! Missouri dur
ing this month. Des Molncs will open the
ball from May 10 to 13 inclusive , Kansas
City will como next with a tournament from
May 16 to 21 ; Omaha will wind up the cir
cuit with a shoot from May 24 to 27. Al
all these tournaments enough money has
been put In the purses to attract promlncut
of the country
shooters from a gcouly section
try , particularly the west , and the most
successful shooting scaton cvjr held in
these three cities is anticipated.
The DCS Molnes shoot is being engineered
by Charlie Budd. It'will be the smallest
event on the circuit , Inasmuch as the added
money will bo only $400. Nevertheless a
good attendance Is looked for there , as the
shooters will undoubtedly take In that shoot
as a preliminary to their run for the bigger
money In Kansas City and Omaha. The
first three days of the shoot will bo de
voted to targets nnd the other to live birds.
Kansas City will have the longest of the
running for an
tournament
trip races , Its

The last week , JIBS' been a very unsatis
factory ono for Vojk In the field. The
has . cold and disagreeable
weather been.,60 ,
that the shootersj , ! the big majority of
cases preferred to , stay In , particularly as
the spoils wouldalnpjt have been very extensive
. ( There are still a few
tensive any way. , , , j
ducks flying aroun&and a few snipe are to
bo found , but they are far between. Any
way the closed ajajfn commenced on lost
Sunday and oa\r if ° .w wanted to take
chances.
The flsh seasortl\Qwover , Is commencing
to open up. We have no closed season hero
in Nebraska , a lamentable fact , but Omaha
fishermen are ortfn rily sportsmen enough
to give tae flnny' nhabltants a run for their
white alley. As'a consequence It Is hardly
likely that manypartles will be out be
fore the latter part of the month.
'
Early last week , however , Lee Spratlln ,
Jim Kclby and a couple of others wen )
rto\vn to sco what the outlook Is at Langdon.
The weather allowed them to remain out
about half an hour and they returned home
with only wet skins Inside and outside.
Councilman Blngbam went up to a stream
fifteen miles north of Wood River last Tues
day. He alleges that he dragged out from
Us dark receises a nice mesa of speckled
trout , but he failed to show any of them up.
The opening shoot of the Dupont Gun
club last Sunday wai a success , although
the members Blacked up a little rusty aa
reiutt ot their lack ot practice. When this
U taken Into consideration , however , the
cores were very creditable. The shooters
will be up and at It again today. A club
hoot will be held and a sweepstakes , If
possible.
As th'o season for Inanimate ( hooting
comes on there Is some talk of a match be
tween Holla Hclkes of Dayton , O. , and Fred
Gilbert for the Inanlmnto championship of
the world nnd the cup emblematic of that
title. The cup Is now held by Gilbert. It
was first competed for nt the old Guttenbcrg
race track In New Jersey In 1890 , Gilbert
winning U by
defeating something over
eighty competitors. Hclkes won It from him
a little later but
, Gilbert regained posses-
Ion of It last summer. Since then ho ha ?
held it undisturbed. Now Helkes wants an
other try. The match would probably bo
ml ? Walson'8 Park ' "
Gilbert , takes his Chicago , as
opponents there.
Charlie Budd of DCS Molnes , Holla Hclkes
of Day on and Lou Erhardt of Atchlson have
been chosen as the handicapping committee
at the Kansas City shoot.
The sportsmen of Leon , la. , have organized
gun club with the following
officers : Pres-
Went , J. C. Warner ; vice president and
treasurer , H. n. Layton ; secretary , a. W.
Baker. The other members of the club arc :
S. If. McVay. W. W. Warner. J. W. Hurst ,
R. L. Clark , C. M. Akes , J. L. Warner ,
George Wolcvcr. H. L. Long , n. A. Slgler.

A tale that sounds
very much like ono
of Ed Stout's pipe stories when ho hits the
right kind of a hop shop comes from Deadwood -
wood , S. D. , ami that vicinity. It Is to the
effect that ono day In the latter part of
March n Klomllklan zephyr swept from the
northwest over that section of South Da
kota In fact n "norther. " On the next
morning reports came in from various
places of geese and ducks being caught nllve
iu largo quantities. The game which stayed
In ponds nnd lakes tried to keep them open
and the water splashing over them froze
In their wings nnd feathers. When the
storm was over the birds could not fly nnd
all a person had to do was to clmso them
down. Great bunches of the fowl were
caught on foot , horseback and with dogs.
That beats the Waterloo yarn.
Peter Murphy , "One-Barrel Pete , " who Is
now In California , shot a novel match with
Achlllc Uoos nt San Francisco recently.
Then men shot at five birds each , Murphy
standing on his head and Hoes standing on
ono foot. "Pete" lost his first bird , a fast
driver , nnd grassed the other four. His op
ponent killed flvo straight and won the
ono-foot-stand-on-your-head championship
badge.
The Dcadwood Gun club has received
forty dozen quail from Wichita , Kan. , which
it has planted on Whltcwood creek , False
Bottom and Spring creek , hoping to stoi'k
those localities with these excellent game
birds. Every effort will be made to protect
the birds until they become plentiful.
Lieutenant C. S. Richmond made an ex
ceptional score recently at Savannah , Ga. ,

'As ' a result of the decision he secured over
SharUcy Friday night Jim Jeffries has
sprung up into a very prominent and decided
factor In the championship race ; He is
moreover bound to be a popular scrapper ,
It for no other reason than that he cooked
Sharkcy's goose to such a nice turn. Jef
fries is the biggest pugilist In the business
who Is now looked upon as a first-class man.
In hardened condition and without an ounce
of extra flesh on his body , he weighs at 220
pounds , which is little short of remark
able. Besides , It Is said that slnco his
first nwkwnrd showing M Corbett's pnrlncr
ho Is said to have developed an Activity that
characterizes n lightweight usually.
U Is questionable whether Rlmrkcy will
now bo much of A luminary In the pugilistic
universe. This Is ti fact not nt all to bo
regretted. It Is really too bad thnt Jeffries
did not have nn extra round , for thu pallor
was going , nnd It Is within the range of
possibility that Jeffries could have krpt on
| punching his thick hide so hard that ho
would h/vvo been stretched upon the floor. |

Jeffries Is said to be going right after I
Pete Mnhcr nnd will then follow up by .
challenging the winner of the Huhlln-Mc- (
Coy flght on May 20. If ho whips both
these men ho will be up to Fltzslmmons , nnd i
It will remain to bo 'seen what the lanky
Cornlshman will say to him.
In an Interview In Iloston last wrek Mc
Coy declared that ho Intended to make short
work In his attempt to reach the top of
the pugilistic ladder , commencing Mllh his
light with Hulitlu In Syracuse on May 20. i
In talking about the matter he Bald : "In
making the match with Ruhlln I argued .
to myself that If I was able to ncgottRto '
him handily I could then go nft r Ohoynskf ,

stacles to the attainment of my ambition
In the order of their relative merits , ac
cording to my own nml expert Judges' c.pln-
lon. Immediately after the /lulilln / contest
I will sign articles with Choy.ishl If Ho

j hands I will keep fighting until I enter ' .ho
I Medical university nt Buffalo to study sur
gery. " McCoy declared that ho proposed to
I stock to his intention of studying incdl-
1 cine , but he will devote six months of the
year during his course to lighting.
The local Interest In the ring centered in
the opening of the South Omaha Athletic
club Thursday night. That the Omaha
! sporting public Is ready for n revival of
boxing In this city was shown by t'no big
crowd that turned out. U was not a body
of curiosity-seekers who came simply for
the purpose of seeing how a new enterprise
was to pan out , but it was composed of
men who have long been known as follow
ers and admirers of the ringed sport. Un
fortunately the main event of the evening ,
a fifteen-round go between Hilly Lambert
nnd George Kerwln , was not pulled off , but
this can hardly bo chargeable to the man
agement , which was more cut up over the
matter than the spectators. In spite of this
misfortune a fairly good program was
pulled off and nobody was kicking very hard
In disappointment. The association pro
poses to repeat the performance every ten
days or so and is intending to have some
good talent here.
The ring has been a busy spot In the
cast In recent days. A good many of the
leaders in the lighter classes have appeared
In the events , but the bouts have not been
particularly noteworthy. Ono of the prom
ising gos of the future Is to be a fight be
tween Jimmy Darry and Casper Leon for
the bantam championship of the world.
