The two henries who nro now on top of
the heap Kavo n ticat little exemplification
ol the trlto saying , "Now you BCD It and
now you don't , " during the last week. Like
the king of France , who wnlked up the hill
nnJ then walkeJ down again , the man-of-
war's-man ' trotted forward with the radncy
to cover Kltszlramorm' forfeit for a fight
nnd then drew It down again. And now the
pair nro using mouth ammunition at long
range again and bid Jalr to keep It up for
several month * . It Is ft cinch that they will
not come together , If they ever do , until
Eomo time next fall.
The frlcndt ot the Jack Tor ln lsl that

contests his right to the top of the heap ,

Sharkey wlll , make no fool of himself at

-with the farrier. Fltzslmmona Is as strong
ns Sharkey and has proven that ho can
Hand for ns much punishment aa the sailor ,
Ho certainly -has had moro experience aa n
rlngmnstcr nnd outgeneraled the sailor In
the eight-round go at 'Frisco. Sharkey ha ;
come up the line with a whoop and ho 1 :
perhaps faster and cleverer than when h (

and his Bucking , Hide-stepping and nllrounc

ably draw n big house , inasmuch ns th
champion has not stepped foot Inside th

far from the Charley Mitchell who met Bui
llvan years ago.
When John It. was In the city severe
weeks ngo he referred to this fight ho ha
with Mitchell In Franco nndi told a bunc
of ente.rlaliilng stories of hie experiences 1
the land of the frogeaters. The big 'un wn

Into a dungeon vile. Ho was kept there fo

at his expense , by sparring1 in pantomime n
tlra through tbo cell bars , accompanyln
the gestures with a lot of Jargon. Ho wa
finally released on a { 300 bond , but he ha
hardly put up the money when he gave i

Oscar Oardncr took another step upward
BRl week In biffing Solly Smith Intc
rcamland at New York , while Solly's stii
pprin to bo on the wane. It was the fourtt
Imo that the two had met. Way back Ir
893 Gardner won a decision In six round !
and In ( ho following year the Omaha fat
\on again on a foul. la 1SU7 Smith wa <
given the decision at the end of n twenty *
round trip. Accounts of the last and fourtt
fcrap the other day arc suspicious regard
ng Smith's condition , but the manner 1 :
which he was lammed Into oblivion In nlni
rounds of what was to have been a twenty-
five round affray looks bad for Smith , par
ilcularly as It comes right on top ot hk
Ive-rouml defeat nt the hands ot Dave Sul
Ivan last fall. A broken head' or arm o
nomcUilnn like that was given as the cxcuei
'or ' Smith's easy down and out before tin
Irish boy , but there was no reason why hi
should not have been In tlio best ot fettti
for the Gardner cmp. It looks as It Soil ;
was wandering along the downward trail.
There nro but thrco featherweights afte
all Dlxon , Jordan and Oardncr nnd H's i
hard choice * o pick 'twlxt them. They hav
mixed It up'bet.wcen them and , even thoug !
decisions have been given In favor of on
or the other , one cannot pick the certali
winner , Jordan would seem to have n bl
the best ot It , for he has a decision eve
Dlxon , while the colored lad won a ver :
close Judgment over the Omaha boy. "Dope1
Is mighty decelvln' , though , and figures di
rte. It Is possible that some time during th
present year trc laurels of the feather clas
will be undisputed ! } ' awarded to one ot thcs
three. The English boy has whipped nbou
every one there is over the pond and h
Is now negotiating for a trip to this coun
try with the special purpose of meetlOj
Gardner and Dlxon , It 'the latter wants t
try to get back the decision he lost las
May. Of the whole three Gardner looks th
likeliest. The margin by which Dlxon wo
from him was EO small , together with th
symptoms of weakening on the part of th
most wonderful little man that ever putlc
on the mitts , that It looks as if Gardnc
would certainly get the decision If they com
together again. Of course Gardner and Jor
dan Iwvo never met , but the elam bang tae
tics of the former are sure to make troubl
for the Egnllshman. If Jordan crosses th
water Pedlar Palmer will come with him.
As n consequence of his battle with Caspi
Leon a few days ago the critics are cxan
Inlng Terry McGovern to discover sou
symptoms of championship fiber In his niaki
up. The dago fought at the bantam llml
gave nway five pounds and broke n bar
and rib In the fight , but nevertheless tt
crimson-tufted Brooklyn lad must be give
a good deal of credit for the victory. II
Is n hurricane fighter nnd n stiff punchi
and in two years has lost but one batt
and that on a foul. Leon's reputation dl
not suffer much as a consequence ot thl
the third defeat of his career , on account <
the circumstances , but it has given quite
boost to McGovern. The latter la negotlutlr
now for a fight with Gardner , who is ot
of his class , but ho is a trifle ambltlot
and probably will find that ho is trying I
blto off a hit toq much.
San Francisco rcdhots are preparing f (

November 2J , making the game J.rhe lai
ono of the schedule of Doth , Harvard ha
formerly been assigned the date which th

that Princeton may meet tbo Quakers o

report that comes from Cornell to the ef

While the council failed to find that thl
valuable player had been , paid for his ath

During the present session ot tbo legisla
turd the usual crop ot fool garao laws ar
being ottered for consideration and give th
constituents of their authors the Impresslo
that their representative * are Buffering fret
paretlc attacks. For example , eome genlu
has Introduced a bill which prohibit * th
discharge of flrcarmq on and near any high
way In the state , but Held hunters may nn
tome consolation in the fact that there I
no penalty for being the unfortunate owue
of a shotgun , Another of the legislator
wants n law Incorporated In the statute
which will stop the shooting of all birds o
the nir except the English sparrow , prow !
nnd other like denizens ot the ntmosphen
forever nnd a day. Still another bill Is tc
stop the killing of quail nnd prairie chlckcr
for the space of flvo years.
There may be n llttlo merit In this las
illl , particularly thnt portion which refer
o chicken , but , like many another slmllai
aw that han been proposed. It provides n <
penalties whatever. If It should become i
tuv the consequence would be the kllllnj
of the blrda all the year around. But non
senslcnl as the Inns may seem , they are
hardly more so than the present ttatuto re *
gardlng the killing of game from Winds
which , If technically Interpreted , wouK
hardly allow a shooter to kill n bird unlei
It roosted upon his gun barrel. The bll
which the Omaha shooters have compile ,

The talcs about the- reduction of the Xa
tlonal league circuit next season nro dwlnd
ling In elze. A couple of months ago n re
port was out that there would bo a cute
to eight clubs , but time has effectually dcm
on&tratcd that It was a pipe fabrication
Next cnmc the ynrn nbout the reduction t <
ten clubs , Cleveland and Baltimore to b
barred , hut that scorns to have gone th
way of the others. Now the Chicago writ
crs have taken a. pull at the dope and in
alst that the twelve clubs will remain untl
the Fourth of July and then a couple wll
bo dropped.
As a matter ot fact nobody knows ho\
the thing will 'turn ' , out , not even the mag
nntee. There Is no question that they woul
Ilko to see the Indianapolis ngrccmen
thrown overboard , but they are Just now oc
cupylng the position that was at one tlm
pre-empted by Mlcawbor. The Brooklyn
Baltimore deal Is said to have gone througl
but in the same -breath In which this an
nouncement made It Is slated that Han
Ion and his co-partners will also inn In till
a team In Orlolovllle. It Is also certain th.i
the Spiders will go to St. Louts , but th !
does not mean that Cleveland will be on
of the circuit.
This condition chaotic extends to th
Western league also. The magnates In thl
minor organization are hoping against hop
that they will be able to scoop up Clevc
'land ' and plant Tom Loftus and his Colurr
bus team there. On top of this comes
rumor that Indianapolis will 'withdraw ' fc
lack ot grounds. Matters should ver
shortly bo settled , however , as the bl
league magnates will soon hold their sprln
meeting.
If the Baltimore deal Is put throug
McOraw is named aa the probable manage
of the new Orioles , although no oinclai ar
nouncomcnt to that effect has yet been pre
mitigated. McQrnw thinks that he Is ( low
for the Job and has given vent to
proclamation that has n humorous cast. H
says that ho will put the team on a payln
basis by cutting salaries to the amount c
$16,000. Coming from Mugsy , this sound
like a eklt from a vaudeville layout , Inas
much as In the past McQraw has alwaj
raised the biggest Tiowl over any slash 1
salaries.
John T. Drush has taken a decidedly radl
cal step In order to prevent drinking amen
his players. It has been no uncommo
thing for a club manager to Insert In th
contract of sarao ball toeser who has a moi
than passing acquaintance with 'Mr. Joh
Barleycorn a clause requiring that sue
friendship be Immediately cut. Brush thl
year , however , has put Into every one c
his contracts. n provision that no playe
shall go Into n public resort nnd drink whe
off duty. Every violation of this claw
calls for a line of from $300 to J509. Sue
a provision In the contracts of the plajvi
who wore the Omaha tag last spring woul
have had some Interesting results nnd eve
though there Is said to be 'but little drlnkln
among the Reds many a crank will watg
hew the pledge 1-3 observed. Pink Hawlc
has kicked on this clause , but none of th
rest of the team have.
Base ball 'has long been considered s
Uncle Sam's own exclusive game , but It I
fast becoming an International sport. N
Jap or Chinaman is yet represented In an
of the important organizations , "but thei
are players of English , Indian , Germai

various teams of the larger leagues. NOJI
year a new nationality will break into th
Western league a Bohemian. His name !
Charles Cheek , who Is at present at tli
University of Wisconsin and will sign wit
the Brewers next June. One of his feal
consisted of letting down the St. Paul teai
with four runs with a eoml-protcsalom
team behind him.
The records of President Nick Youu
show that before the drafting commence
last year , no less than thirty-four mine
leaguers were purchased , by the big bug ;
The big majority of this number came fret
the Western league. Among the mo :
prominent of these were Slaglo , AVlllIat
and Purdte of Kansas City ; Wolverto
from Columbus ; Tom Daly nnd Jack Taylc
from .Milwaukee ; Phyle from St. Paul nn
Phllllppl from Minneapolis.
The Boston triumvirate has loosened th
purse strings and will give lavish salarlc
to Its players next season. Eight of th
tosscrs will receive the limit or more
Tenney , Lowe , Long , Collins , Bergen nn
Hamilton will receive $2,400 each. Cap

COLUMBUS. Neb. . Feb. 8. To the Sport
Ing Editor of The Dee : I was In IJoutoi
most nil of last summer , and twins In
terested In track tnd Held events , went t' '
see all the cracks ' perform and watch thei :
in training , The high claea athletes o
Uoston and vicinity are more numerous thai
in any other locality in the country , havlm
better opportunities far training , there be
Ing two public gymnasiums , the Ilko o
which does pot exist elsewhere in th
United States. Tom Burke , the grea
quarter-mile man ; U , J. Wefera nnd Fran ]
Quintan are among the amateurs who hav
trained and b'.nm developed there , whll
SlcOonlqaJ , the five-mile champion ; Tlncler
the Ir' < h distance runner ; Walter Chrlstlt
the K'O-ranl man ; Thompson , the unap
proai'aaVIo tack racer , and hundreds o
othev athletes of great ability have use
gymnasiums , mpeoltlly tbo Charles
, of which I istarted to tell you ,
A few years agtj the city of Uoston bougli
a swampy piece of land on ithe hank 'of th
Charles river , and by filling It In. plantln
trees and shrubbery and building walks an
fountains , made & very pretty park of abou
twenty acrca. At e ch end of this park the
have built a five-lap cinder track , Inside c
which are quoit grounds , Jumpingboxra an
all tu * paraphernalia of a first clue
gymnasium and training ground. The men' '
gymnasium Is surrounded by an Iron fenci
and on the walks outside ore hundreds <
people at all < t1mc-a of the day watching th
youug aspirants for athletic hononi tit Uil
work. The track from f a. in. until r.oon Is
reserved for .the use ot wheelmen , from sioo : :
uirtll ti p , m. ths foot-runners and Jumper !
have their ilnnlngs and there nro plenty u
them , toe > , for All the boys In Boston am1
vicinity seem to want to excel In som <
branch of athletics. Mr. Howler , the genla' '
superintendent , gives lessons twice a day It
gymnastic movements. Ho also oversees
the work , of ithe elder athletes , taking cr.re
that none work too hard or long , a , very Im
portant part ot an athlete's training belnf
to not overtrain.
At the corner ot the grounds a Malrwa )
loads from the enclosure to 'the ' building , at
ornamental two story affair , i the to )
floor of which IB a small ofllco tor the super
intendent. The rest of the floor is devoted
to bath rooms for the athletes. There are
about 400 lockers , the use ot which nmy b <
obtained by request from the superintendent
Ho aUo supplies you with towels and then
are six shower baths , v-ltli hot nnd colt
watcv attachments. You will bo surprised
to learn the use of this gymnasium Is tret
to all , the city paying all expeiuitB ot keep
ing It up , even furnishing clean towels tc
any ono who wants to bathe. No doubt tht
people , as n body , nrc nmply repaid by tin
health nnd happiness which the habitues ol
the Institution galci from Its use.
The working force of the gymnasium com'
prison n superintendent and nwo" " assistants
nnd three caretakers of the grounds. Thcr
Is also n woman's gymnasium connected will
this and In Enst Boston another cno foi
mtn , * 11 of them maintained by the cltj
nnd under the supervision of the Board o :
Park Commissioners , So for once , you bc <
old fogy Boston has gotten ahead of lu
hustling wcotcrncrs nnd wo would do wel
to copy this Idea from 'them , both for thi
sake ot the health Judicious exercise gives i
sedentary pcoplo and 4he pleasure It glvc <
the spectators , who would during opei
hours always be numerous , Jlany mo-'i
people visit the Charlesbnnk than any o
the other parks In the city , I am sure
while the number ot crack athletes devcl
oped there , with the experience gained It
training them , Is not the least of the bcnc
nta derived. It Is also the most prnctica
Bennett thnt could bo devised on the health !

The national assembly of the League o
American Wheelmen adhered strictly to th
program mnppod out by the leadcra. Th
slated ticket went through without friction
Regarding race control the decision was li
favor of continuance , as had been predicted
In this respect the league Is like the ma
who had the bear by the tall and was nfral
to let go. It the opposing organization , com
posed of men who control the tracks and ar
out for the money there Is In the sport , con
tlnues in the lines planned the close of th
year is likely to sec the bear fattened on th
meat of the league. The only change mad
In league rules was an amendment glvin
professionals representation in the asseinbl )
Bicyclists throughout the world 'will b
glad to learn that the wheel will occupy n
honored place at the Paris exposltlpn. No
where In Iho world are there' more pnthusl
astto wheelmen than the members of th
famous Touring Club do France , and the
have not > been slow to avail themselves c
this opportunity to draw the attention o
the civilized world to .the modern whee
with all Its latest Improvements.
A committee was appointed some lira
ago to see about the construction ot
building In which the wheels could bo ex
hlbitcd , ana about the selection ot a suit
able site , and now the news comes that a
admirable site haa been granted bythe au
thorltles in charge of the exposition nn
that on it a stately building will be erecte
within n very short time.
The site is near the Eiffel Tower an
close tothe entrance ot the Champ do Mars
Any ono who knows Paris will see that n
better slto could have been selected. Al
the visitors to 'the ' exposition , whether the
are interested in bicycling or not , will b
sure to pass by 'this spot and cannot -hel
being attracted by tbo artistic edifice thn
Is to be reared in 'honor ' of the ubiquitou
wheel.
The courttliiB of the votes which were t
decide whether the national meet this yea
was to 'bo ' held In Boston or Buffalo re
suited as was expected for the last tw
months. The vote was most decisive , an
showed that there was not the effort mad
by Buffalo that -was expected nt the -Urn
of the last meet , which was held at In
dlanapoliH. At that time Boston was al
most unheard of , so Intensely enthusiast !
were the Buffalo adherents. But ft fei
weeks later came the trouble with the out
laws , nnd Buffalo furnished all the lead
Ing actors in the Insurrection. To Ihl
cause alone Is duo the defeat of the BIso
city , for its league officials were plalnl
In sympathy with their outlaw brethre
and the other states -would not support
city with such views.
Now that Boston has the meet , aftc
working for It for five years , it may be ex
peeled that it will furnish -the league -wit :
ono ot the best gatherings in Its hlstorj
Boston will furnish other entertainment
aside from the racing , and in BO doing wll
receive the hearty support of Iho city au
thorltiea , who have already donated a fun
for the purpose of entertainment , and premIse
Iso more. There will be a one-fare rate fo
the round trip -to the meet , and an excur
slon on the same basis to the world's cham
plonshlps at Montreal Immediately nfte
the close of the Boston meet. The man ;
places of historical Interest In the vlclnlt ;
of the city will be visited and the usua
smokers , receptions , cxcurUons , etc. , wll
bo on the program.

Indians would bunt them on wheels. . '
spectacle It will be , that of the chiefs an.
warriors coming on them to the councils
pedaling furiously over tbo prairies o
Guadalajara and Sonora Instead ot dachlni
over them on horseback , ns their father
might have. Try as be will , tbo Indlai
cannot escape the tolls of civilization li
which ho bos 'been caught ; bo has beei
tangled up with cycling and , Ilko every on
else who has gone through the same per
formance , Is fast forevermore. Indian
starting back toward savagery on bicycle
Is a sight characteristic of the tlmo an
when they have restored their tribal ays
tem ono may expect to hear of the formatio
among thorn of the "Man-Not-Afrald-of
a-Bump" and such like clubs , with color
of greeu and old gold. Why not !
In politics It bas long been a famous cr
that "as goes Pennsylvania eo goes th
union. " If this holds good In pedaling a
It li alleged lu politics , then it must b
conceded that not only Is cycle riding o
the -wane * , but ( nrrlago riding and even
walking Is on the down grade. The report
ot Captain Louis M. Chaitoau of the Knlr-
mount Park guard howa that during the
ypar 1SOS there entered the park 233.013
single teams , 71.S16 double teams , 611 four-
horse teams , 1,116,620 bicycles , 11,296 eqUCS-
trinnf. , 1,430.180 pedestrians , 7OU ono-horso
flelghs nnd 1,535 two-horse sleigh * . These
figures showed ft decrease of 32,755 , vehicles ,
41S.SGI. pedestrians and 106,971 bicycles.
Moro varieties of chatnlcss machines nro
to bo found on the market this year than
ever before nnd they arc cheaper. It doesn't
seem to bo quite- clear whether the novelty
of chMnlcss wheels or the high price asked
tor them has been responsible hitherto for
the comparatively small demand for ma
chines of that sort. With the reduced price ,
thnt question should bo settled without much
difficulty. Wheelmen deslro 16 learn all
about the merits of new bicycles before )
idoptlng them and It they become convinced
that chnlnlcM machines ore superior to
Ihoso with sprockets they will ride the
former without hesitation.
Whether a rider prefers a chalnlcss wheeler
or ono of the other sort , It Is safe to say
[ hat a better bicycle may be bought today
at a fair price than could have been had nt
any tlmo In the past. The task of selecting
\ good mount has become easy nnd , among
the largo number ot now models In thl city ,
the most fastidious rldor may bo sura of
finding ono that will please him.
Judge Simpson of Reno county , Kansas ,
differs from the ueual Kansas Judge In his
possession of n plenitude ot horse sense. As
nn evidence of this Judge Simpson has
handed down n decision ot much Interest to
cyclists in Kansas. A man whose team be
came frightened nt n cyclist and ran nway ,
throwing the driver out nnd breaking his
arm , sued the wheelman for damages , but
It was dlsalJownd by Judge Simpson ou the
grounds thnt bicycles have become BO nu
merous thnt nny roadhorsc should not become
como frightened nt them. If a horse Is no
timid ns to become cycle shy , then , Judge
Simpson says , ho should not bet allowed on
n public thoroughfare. A statement which
Is ripe with both law nnd logic.
The Bicycling World claims to state au
thoritatively that the bicycle saddle trust
will consolidate eight concerns , the capitali
zation being $2,000,000 , half of which is In
preferred and half in common stock. The
preferred stock will -be for the appraised
value of the plants nnd the common stocli
for the good will.

An eloquent Detroit preacher tells this
among his early experiences In n rural
parish ! Ono of his parishioners was very 111
and finally sent for the minister , who found
the man rather reticent , nnd finally asked
It there was anything he could do.
"Parson , " was the answer , "sleep would
make mo well , but the doctor can't make
mo sleep , 1 wondered If you'd preach mo
Lhnt long sermon I heard last July. "
A visitor lit a Cleveland achoul , noticing
n bright little colored girl , said to her : "Do

Sunday , then ? " "Ycs'm twlcp n day. nnd
Friday evcnln' , too , mos' gen'ly. " "Where
do you go ? " "I 'tend do chu'ch dost by
my house. It's the mos' conven'cnt. " "How
do you like your pastor ? " "Ho'e a vehwy
good man. Ho preaches stch strong sermons ,
I's 'frald wc's gwlno to lose um , though. "
"What makes you think BO ? " "Well , every

Archbishop Itynn of Philadelphia Is one ot
the most genial prelates In the American
Catholic church. At the reception given In
his honor the other day , snys the Record ,
he noticed many children with their parents.
Accompanied by her father , a little girl was
seated somewhat apart from the others nnd
the archbishop , seeing her , said with great
gravity : "You are with your father , and , as
I am his spiritual father , am I your grand
father ? " This created n general laugh. A
little later on the archbishop Indulged in
another pleasantry. At the conclusion of
the ceremonies at the temperance ) reception
the archbishop gave his blessing and re
marked : "Now , Bishop Prendergast will
give you a bigger blessing. " As the bishop
arose and stretched his massive form to Its
full height the audience quickly compre
hended the archbishop's llttlo Joke and the
audlblo smile that went around compelled
the bishop to wait a few minutes until the
proper degree of dignity had been regained.
The daughter of n Methodist minister
created consternation the other day , re
lates the Now York Sun , toy walking Into
a book ehop nnd eaylng meekly :
"Do you give clergyman's discount on
playing cards ? "
On what ? " demanded the ealesman.
'On playing cards. "
'Clergyman's discount , did you say ? "
Yes. "
'Well , we've never been asked fof It , "
with peculiar emphasis , "but I supposes '
"Because I'm a clergyman's daughter , "
said the young woman , "and I always get
a discount. "
"Oh , very well , " Bald the salesman , trying
to keep a sober face.
The young woman bought the cards , paid
the price , minus the clergyman's discount ,
and went out oftho store. The jokq "was
considered the best of the season among
the book salesmen. But the Methodist girl
Uflls It rather apologetically , and says eho
has done better. She has a fondness. It
scema , for having- fun with herself. The
other day she had eorao without any pre
vious Intention. She went into another book
shop , tils tlmo for some pens. A stupid ,
'half-grown ' boy trundled himself forward to
wait on her.
"I'd Ilko some pens , " ehe said briskly.
"What kind uv pens ? " -with half-shut
eye and heavy Jaw.
"Pigpens ! " ( lashed the girl , and , whirling
around , she wan out of the store In a second.
She says she didn't mean to do It , but the
temptation was too strong , and t > ho baa been
ohuokllng ever since at the expression which
came over the boy's face.
She Is always bringing home some choice
tit of humor from the various prayer meetIngs -
Ings , aid societies and Bpworth League
meetings which she attends. Ono which she
gathered in at a missionary meeting Is ot
especial Interest < lo persons ot the Episco
palian persuasion. It was a home missionary
meeting ami a woman from a. small town
was giving her experience.
"Wo ain't done much , tlurln' ot the past
year , " she eald , "but we'reahopln' for
success to crown our labore In the end.
They's lots of Episcopalians In our town , and
by tbo grace o' God -wo mean ito i > uU our

traces of her bringing up , as shown in her
general bearing and in the fit , not to Bay

"I cannot afford It ! " eho exclaimed , and
there was a tone -of bitterness , almost of TO-

cloak down and picked up ono of humbler
appearance.
