10 THE OMAHA DATTjY BEE : SUNDAY , OCTOT5EB 0 , 1808 , SPORTS OF INDIAN SUMMER What ths Athletoi and Experts Aie Doing Oni-of-Doora Jnst Now , BOSTON WINS THE LEAGUE PENNANT Ilnrc the 1'o-iltlonn In Which They Will Clone the Hunnun Bill ? I'nxton'M Colt Honor * UN llrcfdlnif. The victories of the Bean Demollshcrs during the last wcclc provided practically ] the last stroke In the conflict for the pen- nant. Baltimore can still win the bunting , tut It Is only possible through the most abnormal freak that could occur. All In all , there Is scarcely n probable shadow of doubt of Boston's championship triumph again this season -when the curtain rolls down next Saturday. It Is about all over except the shouting a fact which must bo ad mitted even by the fans who pulled so hard for a western city to land the bit of "bunt- " Ing. Ing.With With the ( lag waving over the hub of the universe again , the burg of beans and "culchaw" will have good reason for tho' ' developing of a ilslng of the chest , a I bwellcd head. SInce the organization of the National .league in the fall of 1S70 It ap pears to have had a monopoly on pennanta. The flrst flag of the professional association went to the Athletic club , with Boston In the second place , but In 1872 , under the management of Harry Wright , Boston se cured Us 'first championship rag , and for thrco successive years It waved over the liub. In 187C a wholesale shift of the stars that made up the team occurred and the Centennial year proved to be an off year for Boston , but again In 1877 another cham pionship team was whipped In line and In 3878 the pennant again fell to the Beau- eaters. John Morrlll managed the team from 1882 to 1888 and won ono pennant. In 1SSD Jim Hart , the present head of the Chicago club , was manager and full by the way- eldc. Frank Selce arrived from his Western league career In Beautown , and this Is the ninth year that he has been at the mana gerial helm of the aggregation. In that time Boston has \on the pennant five times , counting this season. Thus In the twenty- even years of the existence of the league the pennant has landed In Boston an even dozen times. It Is very likely that the column of stand ing will present exactly the same appearance on next Sunday morning as It does on this Sabbath day , although It Is quite possible that ono shift will take place. Chicago may beat out Cleveland for fourth place. The Windy City crowd has a much easier cchedulo than the Castaways St. Louis and PlttsburB against the ono and Plttsburg and Louisville against the other. The Quakers have succeeded In their effort's to squeeze the Giants out of the first dlvl- nlon and will hold the last peg In the class 1o the end. The Colonels , despite t'helr game fight , have lost their chance to beat out the Pirates anld will have to content themselves with their present ! position In the race. From all appearances Just now there seems to bo a good deal of truth In t'ho report that haa been wafted on the wings of Dame Ilumor to the effect that the Cleveland club will find a location next year In St. Louis. While Roblson of the Castaways refuses to authorize Iho statement that such a change Is to bo made , ho will not deny It. To place a team like the Castaways In Cleve land is a case of casting pearls before swine. Despite the strong championship tlngo the aggregation has borne throughout the season It has never been given supportl. And de- spl'to ' the fact .tnat the Browns form the veriest batch of lobsters that ever came over the base ball plko the St. Louis fans have given < the team much better support than It deserves. It looks , therefore , that the bunch of stars at present flying the Cleveland colors would make the turnstiles busy In their proposed now home. Whether the St. Louis aggregation will be transferred to Cleveland or somewhere else , whether Cleveland will bo In the league next year or not , Is a matter that will probably not bo decided until the magnates meet this winter. There will probably bo a switching of managers before the season opens next eprlng again. It Is very questionable whether Buckingham Kwlng will bo found nt the head of the Hods. The fans of Cincy have been knocking him hard , despite the fact th'at ' ho finished in third notch and held the leading place in the i race during the greater part of the season , although he had n team that had no license to do so. Ned Ilanlon Is sore on Baltimore for the non- Biipport the Mnrylandcra have given him. It Is rumored that ho may bo swltcherl to Philadelphia. Finally , there are signs that Scrappy Joyce will bo removed from the head of the Giants. The following Is the Western league rc- acrvo Hat as announced by President John- eon : Columbus n.

GOSSIP FROM THE GRIDIRON Probability of the Cnnic Ilctvrccii nnd Ili-il mill Illuc the Theme of the Week. Probably the matter of the most general Interest that has been Incubated this week In the foot ball circles of the country Is the possibility of a game between the Princeton cloven nnd Pennsylvania. The breach that has existed In the past In the athletic rcla- llons of Iho two universities has by no means been healed yet , but It appears to bo slowly closing. There seems to bo a well founded possibility that the canvasback rcprcsentallves of Iho two Instltullons will meet again on the chalk lines. At the pres ent time the matter seems to bo up to the management of the Tigers , for during the i last week It has been considered by It with the usual mystery , however , that surrounds all college deliberations and consequently | nothing is as yet known of the decision. If played , the contest will In all probability be fought out on some date afler November 12 , Iho day upon which the schedule of the Tigers at present closes. It Is also likely that the game will < bo slated before Thanks giving day , for the Pcnnsy season will very likely close then. It Is therefore likely that the day will bo selected between the two dates mentioned , for Pennsy has no con test in the Interim. The last week has be n a poor ono for the development of the teams of the big five. The weather has been exceedingly hot nnd the gridiron appearance of the field has been moro realistic than suggestive. This may partially account for the fact that the elevens are still In an unsettled condition and the games of the last seven days have been somewhat unsatlsfaclory. In fact , Pennsy and the Tigers are the only two of the llvo that have displayed championship caliber. Pennsylvania's score against State college on Saturday , a week ngo , 40 to 0 , was big enough , nnd Princeton's score against Lchlgh on the same date , 20 to 0 , and against Stevens on Wednesday , 48 lo 0 , were satlsfaclory lo her supporters. Yale , Harvard and Cornell , however , have been disappointing. The Blue rung a note of alarm In the hearts of her admirers a week ago , when Wcsleyan , of late years a second class eleven , held her down lo five polnls , but she partially redeemed herself by doing Amherst up by a score of 34 Co 0. The Ithacans did well against Trinity a week ago , but on hist Wednesday ran up against a surprise party In the shape of Syracuse. During the first half , try as It did , Cornell was unable to score moro than a single touchdown. The second half was more fruitful and Cornell finally ended the game with a score of 30 to 0. On Wednesday the Crimson became - came the second of the big flvo to bo scored against. Bowdoln did the trick , scoring a touchdown by good , clean work. The low score of 11 points that Harvard ran up against Williams a week ngo is also rather discouraging. Of course slzo of scores tells but little of the slory of fho strength of the teams. An eleven may shift Its men or It may cm- ploy tricks and strategies for experimental purposes. As a matter of fact , It Is quite frequently the case that this Is done when the team lines up against a weaker sister , the final object of the preliminary games being simply a campaign for the preparation of the eleven for the final and decisive game of the season. Yet , as a rule , scores do Indicate something of the strcnglh of teams. If Iho scores are low because of Iho shifting of Iho men It shows that there Is some weak spot that remains to be strenglhened ; If il Is because of the trial of new maneuvers an indication is given that the team has not reached the necessary point In regard to team work. That this Is so Is proven by Iho showing of Iho last week. Pennsyl vania has run up big scores ; she has strong individual men and good team work. Princeton has also done well ; her positions nro filled by men of good average slrength and they are commencing to work harmoni ously. Yale and Harvard have been uncer tain in their play ; the centers of both arc weak ono day a stronger lot of candidates are tried and the team braces up , Iho next a weaker bunch is tried and the strenglh suffers. , Pennsylvania and Prlncclon have slflcd down the candidates pretly Ihoroughly by this time. Pcnnsy's three center men are filled. Its tackles' positions have three or four strong candidates and so It Is with Ihe ends. The back field la pracllcally cora- plelcd. At Princeton there are strong men In every position except at quarter , which Is likely to bo the weakest point. Their 'varslly Icams will finally bo selecled as follows : Pennsylvania Center , Overfleld ; guards , McCrackon and Hare ; tackles , McCloskcy , Do Silver and Snover ; ends , Folwell , Hedges and Rcugcnbcrg ; quarter , Gardner ; halves , Harrison nnd Outland ; fullback , Wheeler. Princeton Center , Crowdls or Booth ; guards , Edwards , Crowdls and Mills ; tackles. Hlldebrand. Gear nnd Beam ; ends , Craig , Pee , Palmer , Montgomery ; quarter , Watklns , Uosengarten ; halves , Boiler , Lathrope , Black , Crane ; fullback , Ayrcs. Both Harvard and Yale have a backfleld full of good men of the proper caliber , but there are wide holes In the lines of both. The Blue cannot find a satlsfaclory ccnler. Cutten , Ihe minister , Is still In the lead for tbo place , but Is not entirely satlsfaclory. Marshall and Brown will probably bo at the guards , with Chamberlain at one tackle and somebody else , to bo selected , at the other. The ends nre as yet unknown. Hardly any Idea of the form of Harvard's line can bo gained. No less than fifty men are after the positions , and a shift In almost every cast is made dally. The center position Is still the tough proposition Cornell. Of all the candidates Dorner Is the most prominent , but not sat isfactory. Lueder and Ilced at guards , and Swectland at tackle , look like fixtures , but the other tackle and the ends are shitting quantities. At quarter Young Is developing Into a star man. Whiting and Ilosenberg seem to have the call on the half positions and Slelcher Is'making a strong run for fullback. The Jayhawkers last Wednesday did not give promise of becoming dangerous factors for Iho Western association championship. While they won their game against the Kan sas City Medics , the only touchdown they secured was very much In the nature of a fluke. It was only Captain Mosse's kicking that prevented the Kansas City Medics from scoring. His pedal work on the pigskin i time and again sent the ball out of danger. The Kansans were painfully weak In their Interference , and this was the causa of their Inability to score more. There are a number of good ground gainers on tbo eleven , but they were given but little protection whcu making runs. Both Buzzl nnd Simpson at halves nhowcd up In good form , particularly the latter. The line was new and as such did good work , but It Is far from champion ship form. Wllcox , who succeeds "Sal" Walker at center , was the best of the bunch. The Nebraska team Is satisfying all Us supporters. It has very nearly been picked , and will remain , with few changes , As It appeared in yesterday's game with Ames college. H Is very slrong both In offensive and defensive work for this period of the year , and In Comparison with both Kansas and Missouri appears to have a cinch on the championship pennant again. Local foot ball this season will center en tirely about the High school eleven , but the prospects of this , the solo Omaha representa tive of the gridiron are of a decidedly bluish tinge. During the last two years athletics have been kept up to a high standard at the Institution and have been a success from both an nthiVtlc and a financial point of view. But this season there has appeared among the student body a decidedly lack of Interest In the foot ball team. The captain of the eleven has been doing his utmost to bring forth a creditable band lo hold up the athletic honor of Iho school , but ho Is finding It a hard uphill job. The main ob stacle Is the absence of a coach , which Is the consequence of a lack of funds to secure one. It would seem that among a band of stu- dcnls as large as attends the school there would bo sufficient Interest to raise a suita ble sum of money to secure the services of a foot ball Instructor. The expense need not bo grcal , and a coach Is absolulcly necessary In order to work up a team of any quality. Pride In one's school would be sufficient to Induce the student body to provide the means that smaller schools In this section of the country furnish their foot ball teams to enable them to creditably represent their cofors on the gridiron. WITH HORSES AND HORSEMEN Illlly Pnxtou'H AVI 11 of the ITnturlty irlth The Mcrc'hniit the Senniitlon Nebraska's great colt , The Merchant , was the bright particular luminary at the Lex ington light harness meeting upon whom the Inhabitants of horscdom In the Antelope state focused their orbs. When the news ths this promising offspring of The Con- aueror had captured the edltlon-de-tuxo event of the year for hln class was flashed over the wire there was rejoicing galore among the harness men of the city. The fact that a Nebraska horse could go to Lex ington and meet the cream of the youngstera" of the country and skin them out In the premier event of the year was a crown of laurel to the breeding Interests of this state. Neither was there lacking a figurative presentation of the gladsome hand to Billy Paxton. the owner of the colt , even Ihough William , with the assistance of George Kearney , Is still busied down at Lexington in gathering together the tidy fortune the colt won for him. The Nebraska colt had no difficulty what ever In arcompllsTiIng the feat. In two straight heats the bay colt outstripped his quintet of followers. Ho did not move the mile In the fastest time of the year , but under the circumstances the record vias ex cellent 2:20 : and 2:21 : % . For two days a heavy rain prevented the commencement of the meet and soaked the track. While the muddy course might not have dlscom- fllted an older campaigner much , It was an obstacle for the youngsters. On a fast dry track It Is believed that the 2:20 : trip would have been reduced to 2:10. : If this were so , the record for 2-ycar-olds would have been broken for the year. The best time so fao made by the division was fixed by Marie Celeste at Louisville ten days ago , 2:17'/4. : The other heat was trolled In 2:18 : % . This mare was dlslanccd In the race of Thurs day and Handspring , who ran second to her at Louisville , had to bo content -with the same 'place behind The Merchant. Neither The Merchant nor any other colt has yet touched the record for the division. This Is held by the famous stallion , Arlon , who has a 2-ycar-old mark of 2:10 : % . This phenomenal performance , however , was made only at the conclusion of a year's consistent training and was gained late In the season , .November 10. It occurred In the year 1891 on the kite-shaped track at Stock ton , Col. As a result of this fast proceed ing Arlon was sold for the tidy sum of $123,000. He was campaigned again the following season as a 3-ycar-old and suc ceeded in lowering his mark but a quarter of a second , which , however , again estab lished a record for the class. This per formance again occurred In the fall of the year. The Futurity Is always a strongly con- leslcd race , as it establishes the supremacy of the 2-year-olds for the year. There were twenty-three colts to start at Lexington , lut all but a half a dozen were withdrawn , probably on account of the condition of the track. The stake has been won In succes sive years by such great performers ns Nellie A , Bermuda Girl , Fred S. Moody , China Silk , and last year It was won by Jnnle T In the lime of 2:14. : which is Iho fastest mile ever trolled by a 2-ycar-old filly. Her owner , George A. Fuller , drove her , and while Ihe champagne corks were popping Just afler the victory ho announced that ho would come back and win the 3- year-old division of the stake with her this year ; but on Thursday , when she starlcd for the $10,000 purse , she was nowhere near a favorite , and finished fifth , making two heats In fifth place and being distanced 'n the third. The best time of Iho race was 2:14U. : a quarler of a second less lhan her mark. The Merchant Is well known to the horse men of this vicinity. He is a handsome bay of big proportions. His size probably had considerable to do with his winning the stake In the mud of the Lexington track. Ho Is out of Bright Light by The Conqueror. As a yearling he gave promise. In fact , In the spring of 1897 , before ho had reached his first birthday , he moved a half In 1:20 : , a 2:40 : gait , a remarkable performance. In the spring of last year , as a yearling , ho moved the fastest mile of the season , 2:29Vi. : His consistent improvement gives promise that in the succeeding years ho will be merrily at work clipping the records. The winning of the Nebraska colt came as a thunderbolt out of the amethystine sky to many a horse owner , and particularly lo Marcus Daly. Marcus Daly has a siring of about forty colts from which lo pick the nominee for the Futurity , and ho selected several. His early choice , however , was Handspring , who took second money in the race. Last spring Daly told John A. Crelgh- ton that bo had a cinch on the big money this season In Handspring , and ho was prob ably afflicted with a temporary stroke of paresis when the Nebraskan beat out his Montana colt. One of the horsemen who watched the performance of The Merchant with most In terest was D. T. Mount. The secret of this Interest ls Imbeded in the fact that Mr. Mount Is the owner of a half-brother to the colt. It Is a foal of this year and has a breeding that surpasses that of The Mer chant. The colt Is by The Conqueror , out of Clarlne F. The dam Is by Forward , by George Wilkes , and with The Conqueror's pedlgre by Atlas , by Attorney , by Harold , by Hambletonlan 10 hoa a great ancestry of speed that ought to be developed in years to come. While this 2-ycar-old event was of the most Interest to local horsemen on account of the performance of The Merchant and the Futurity for the 3-year-olds was the most Important from point of purse , the greatest race of the meeting was the Tran sylvania , which was trotted on Friday , too late for the mention of the result In this column. Its Importance rests not so much In Its money value , which Is $5,000 , as the honor of winning the historic event. It has been won by horses all over America , and It has always been a great contest of speed and endurance. U has been the largest betting race of the union , and It promised to hold Its own In this particular on Friday. The winners of the race have come from all parts of the country , and Budd Doble la the only driver who ever won It twice. It has been won by horses of all colors , nnd In 1S91 It was captured by the blind horse Cheyenne. The lucky drivers , outside of Doblc , have been John Dlckerson , who drove Cheyenne ; Ed Either , who piloted Krem lin ; Crlt Davis , who handled the reins over Harrlctta ; Andy McDowell , who engineered the victory of the fast Azote ; W. J. An drews , who lifted Bouncer to victory ; C. E. Alexander , who coaxed Senator A to win , and W. O. Footo , who was behind the sen sational Htlma last year when the record was lowered to 2OS& : . Doble won the race the first and second years of its existence with Jack and McDoel , respectively. Dlrectly's mile In 2:03'/i : In Louisville has been the talk of harness horse circles slnco nnd is Interesting In view of his being en tered In the 2:08 : and 2:01 : pace at the Lex ington meeting last week and this. The news of tho- remarkable performance of the black wonder of four seasons ago was like a voice coming from the dead. For , while Directly has been racing this season and raced last , ho had been passed up by the turf student long ago as an "exploded phe- nom , " a horse that was to be remembered only ns the greatest 2-year-old that ever wore harness , whoso subsequent career was deplored because of Its disappointment. Directly paced a heat at Tcrro Haute In 2:0394 : , but ho did not win the race , and the heat was regarded as merely a flash of his old ability. But when a week ngo ho easily went a third mlle In CiOS'/J. and covered a quarter In ono of the other heats In :29H. : those familiar with the horse's former greatness began to wonder whether ho might not at this late day bo fulfilling some of the promises that his 2-ycar-old career held out , for at that ago ho surpassed all previous performances of 2-year-olds by four or five seconds , and In many starts was never beaten. WHIST , A notable feature of the recent Woman's National Whist congress In Philadelphia was the extreme youth of many of the players engaged In it. Ono of the best players was Miss Katlienne Fox , aged 16 , who carried on one of Iho Important prizes. She Is president of a whist club and cap tain of her club team. Afler all Iho space that has been devoled lo the subject of private conventions In whist lltwaturo but Htlle regard was paid lo them In the Boston congress. Whist remarks that every Imaginable system , and some that were unimaginable , were In evi dence , and there were many unusual plays that would not so long ago have raised a hurricane of denunciation. But the fore bodings of trouble nil proved groundless and there- was not a ripple of dissatisfac tion. Many of the players who came prepared - pared with a careful explanation of this syslem found that It was rarely asked for and when offered was frequently re fused. Ono team had adopted the plan of having Its system of play printed upon small cards , ono of which was offered lo each adversary. In most cases , however , the card was cither declined or dropped on the floor. The players generally seemed to adopt the vlow that an adversary maybe bo safely permitted to play whatever con ventions seemed good to him and whatever system ho pleased so long as ho played whist. _ East and West came out a poor second at ( he Omaha Whist club rooms on Wednes day night , losing by on average of nine points.

Whether or no ardent practice of outdoor sports is injurious to beauty is a mighty serious question with a good many Ameri can women. To quiet all doubts and give ocular proof of the truly beautifying in fluences of sport , let mention bo made of some of the famous English beauties and. their sincere love of all sorts of fresh air play. play.Here Here , for example , Is the marchioness of Downshtre. If any ono denies this woman's good looks they are simply Impervious to the charms of the rosy , satiny complexion , rich , bright , chcslnut hair , faultless teeth , ruddy lips and limpid brown eyes. All these features , along with a handsome figure , this THE MARCHIONESS OF DOWNSHIRE. young woman possesses and yet In the wldlh and length of England there Is not a moro zealous and accomplished rider to hounds , wlelder of golf clubs or expert bicyclist. Lady Downshlro Is something moro than this , for she does not mind turning out of bed very , very early In Iho morning , drawing on long rubber bools , slipping Into a water proof cloth coat and , staff tn hand , spend ing a morning with the other hounds. U is , however , as a horsewoman that she ex cels. She hunts wllh Iho queen's hounds , wllh a fine pack of Berkshire and , when the hunting season Is at Its hlght In Ire land , she hurries over with her horses and her household to her husband's country seat in Down and pursues the wily fox there. Wherever over ditches and hedges , gates and wire fences Lord Downshlre leads , his wife Invariably follows. Six years ngo Miss Hare , whoso father Is the queen's foreign scrvlca messenger , mar ried the marquis of Downsblre , and her beauty and her gifts as a horsewoman made her London appearance an event.

The first night Is plentiful In this vicinity and peed messes have been brought la as .1 result of a day's shooting within a radius of a dozen miles. The shores of Honey creek and of Cut Off lake are favorite rendezvous for the birds , and good bags have been secured often during the past couple of weeks. Ducks arc far more scarce , al though some of the hunters have been re warded for a tramp along the marshy shores of the waters. Among those who have been loitering after snipe about Cut Off lake during the last week has been George Brubakcr , who shot a nice mess. C. W. Webster and Roy Austin came back from Honey creek with a big bag- full. Dr. West of Council Bluffs and a party have gone to the sand hills about Chadron , where they will spend some llttlo time In pursuit of the wild fowl of the air. E. A.

Billy Townsend has received his pointer , Spike , who during some weeks paet has been put through a course of sprouts by Atkins , the dog trainer of Nellgh.
