WONDERFUL WORK BY DOGS
Ono On nor SMJH Ilnoh ( 'olllo SUM- *
Him bc\ent-rivc Dnllurn
11 Month.
"Nothing In my whole western trip In-
ttrested mo more , " said n distinguished
ttavulcr the other dav , "than the work I
saw done on n largo slieep rantd In Califor
nia by half a dozen or more collies. Ac
cording to my host , each one. of them sacd
him a good $75 a month In wages , did his
work far better than any two men could do
It , while his board would not n\erago a
tenth of what It would cost to keep a man.
The ranch whlcli Ilstcd extended o\cr
thousands of acres , while my friend en
closed In his corral each night no fewer
than 10,000 sheep. The corral Is simply a
largo enclosure surrounded by n solid , high
brick wall. Into this the sheep nro driven
at nlglit to protect them from the wolves ,
whlcli , In California , Mould make short
work of Hocks left out on the open plainer
or Insecvtrcly housed.
"Arriving nt the ranch just at nightfall
I had the opportunity of seeing the dogs
conduct their various Hocks Into the fold
and expressed great surnrlss at their won
derful cleverness and skill.
" 'Oh , but this Is the least part of It , '
said my host. 'You should see the Intelli
gent creatures go about their morning's
work. In that they really show more than
ordinary human Insight. It would be well
worth your morning nap for once to watch
them. "
"Accordingly , nt early dawn the next
morning I nroso and as I stood gazing spell
bound nt the breadth of the skyline and
the Illimitable expanse of the plains my at
tention wns called to the business of ttie
day by the filendly barking of the collies.
They had Just finished their breakfast nnd
were making their way to the corral , the
gates of which stood open. In they
bounded amongst the promiscuous assembly
of sheep and then each began to single
out his own especial flock ; for with these
thousands of animals Hko one another as
so many peas , each colllo comes , In some
subtle way , to know which of them nre
under his especial care. By a system of
running , scenting , pushing , crowding nnd
elbowing ho finally gets his own flock sorted
out and starts them for their particular pas
ture. Hero lie watches them through the
long day , not allowing one to stray , and at
exactly the same hour each night marshals
Ilicm back to the corral.
" 'The only point In which they lack
Judgment , ' explained my friend , 'Is that
they do not seem to know when their Hocks
should bo taken to new pastures. After
grazing over rho or alx hundred acres for
a few months the grass is exhausted and
the sheep need to bo conducted to fresh
meadows. 1Ciat part of the work falls tome
mo and Is practically nil that I do. I se
lect the new graying ground nnd conduct the
shepherd nnd his Ilcck there for the first
tlmo. After that ho understands : I keep
practically no help besides the dogs and with
all my 10,000 sheep cannot complain of be
ing overworked. ' "

Several base ball tcnms have been or

PALAVER OF THE- PUGILISTS
A K < MV Co in me ii In oil ( lip ! ) ! Ilcnij-
MclKlit I'lulit AVhlrh Taken I'lnuo
nt Coney Inland rrliliiy.
Of all tbo fistic events which have taken
place In the United States within the last
decade that which will bo pulled off nt
Coney Island , N. Y. , next Friday night Is
probably the most Interesting nnd momen
tous. For a time the great clash between
those giants of the pugilistic world , Bob
FItzslmmons , the undl'putod champion of I
world's champions , and Jim Jeffries , tho1 [
joung Cyclops of the coast , was reeked upon
by the sporting fraternity with much sus
picion. The fact that the light was to be
photographed for the enjoyment of the
millions after the battle- was over led n big
contingent to believe that It could not bo on
the level and that the contest would neces
sarily have to bo photographed to make the
klnetoscopo investment a pajlng one. The
wise geezers argue that Fltz , If he discovered
that ho was the master of his colossal an
tagonist In the early rounds of the fight ,
would hn\o to stand off and allow Big Jim
to make a showing simply for the pictures'
sake. The same with the huge Angeleon
should ho bo so fortunate , which Is extremely -
tromely doubtful , taking opinion from the
form book , as to realize in the preliminary
sizing up that the lanky kangaroo was In his
power , would bo necessarily compelled to
play his part nnd let the freckled fellow trot
along with him a sulllclent distance to In
sure n reasonably extended entertainment
to the masses who wouAl assemble In the
plajhouses over the country to see the
movements of the two big gladiators on the
stretched canvas as reflected from the magic
lenses of the klnetoscope. Now , to a man
up a tree these apprehensions dl the crowd
who are alwajs prone to Jerk out their
hammers aio Idle.
This contest means untold wealth to the
winner. It also means oblivion to the
loser. Neither can afford to take the
slightest chance and you can bet neither
will. If the husky boller-mnkcr opens the
door , ns ho Is apt to , In the flrst inlnuto
of the flrst round , you can stake your pile
that the big right mitt of the famous Cor-
nlshman will bo seen cutting the air around
and across , and stopping only when it
brings up against the lubberly country boj's
Jaw. And when that happens jou may know
that the day's sport is over , that somebody
1ms won and somebody lost the battle of
itho ago. Again , should the ponderous Cali
fornia , In an early cyclonic rush , succeed
In placing his prodlgous glove In Juxtaposi
tion to Roberts rllt , ' nnd find that he had
him going , do jou suppose ho will pull off
and go get In a hammock and take a lit
tle nap ? No , Indeed. Ho will go right on
Hko the resistless onsweep of the tempest
and hammer and Jolt and push and wallop
and brulso until the frail semblance of a
champion lies bleeding and Inanimate at his
feet. Big Jeff dare take no chance with
the hopes of revenue from the photograph
er's art. If there Is a fortune In this event
for him It must bo by virtue of his over
whelming bulk , by the exercise of the enor
mous powers of his mountainous muscles ,
by the Indomitable resolution of his brain ,
and the courage and stoutness of his heart.
Ho will dare not to falter. Ho must needs
go on and conquer even though the final
Jolt threatens to make an angel of the
beautiful lad from the antipodes. He must
go in to win if it costs a leg.
But all I'evlty aside the tight promises to
bo a grand contention of might and sclcnco
nnd In recognition cf this the sporting lights
ctt the world areahcady gravitating toward
our peerless metropolis and In a few more
days the wires will bo burdened with news
moro Interesting than that from the seat
cf war , fiom the forum of the national con
gress or the marts of commerce or centers of
social life. Prize fighting Is today a fad
pure and slirple. The goodly cloak their
faces and the sinful march on with brazen
emontery that sentiment seems unnbl * to
chock. And who will win , jou ask. Wclf ,
"T don't know , " but It goes without saying
that the bt-bt man has the best chance.
Someone has taken the trouble to go to
Fit/Simmons' old homo do lock up the rec
ords ctf his age. They find It to bo 36 , which
Is onu > ear younger than Fltz gives It and
several younger than some have claimed.

NOTES OF THE CRICKETERS

Here on Hie I'ourtli.
Only four more Saturdav Raines rail bo
utilized bv Omaha crlcke-tcrs fur practice
preparatory to the gnmo against Denver on
July I. and considering the fu.-t that the
weather hns hitherto been BO unprrpllloiis
for play , this will bo none too much tlmo
for the locals to get themselves Into first-
clasa trim for the struggle.
Omaha should bo nblo to put n. very
etrong team In the field for the nbvo men
tioned game , In fact n stronger ouo at leaat
from a batting standpoint than the ono
which landed Omaha nt the top of the he i
nt the Northwestern tournament hero last
summer. In the trundling department
Omah.i has nlwajs been strong and this jear
Is no exception to the rule. Out of the
cloven who will represent the city no leas
than nlno can handle the ball to pretty good
advantage If necessary , but against bowlers
of the caliber of Bate , Slmms , the Vaughan
brothers and Lennon no team , howo\cr
strong , should mal o 100 runs , and Denver ,
If Us showing' hero last summer can betaken
taken ns a criterion to go by , should not
make over seventy-five.
Against a score of this kind Omaha should
bo nn easy winner , nnd If the boys will put
In some good licks at the nets between now
nnd then there Is no doubt but what wo can
demonstrate In a decisive and nrtlstlc man
ner that the Hungarians from Colorado nro
not In our class when It comes to playing
cricket.
Captain Francis has generously offered n
fine bat to the batsman having the highest
average at the end of the season and In or
der to give the poor players n chance to win
the coveted prize ho has , with the aid of a
selected committee , formulated n handicap
for the best iplayers. The following Is the
report of the committee on the subject :
The following players to tiavo the number
of runs set opposite their names deducted
from their season's average :
Bate , 15 ; New , 15 ; Taj lor. 5 ; Tuflleld , 5 ;
Vnughan , 5 ; G. Vaughan , 5 ; Cameron , C ;
Slmms , 5 ; Lennon , 5 ; Neale , 5.
Rules (1) ( ) No averageto count for prize
unless the pla > er takes part In not less
than GO per cent of the games from May
30 to end of season.
(2) ( ) Games prior to May 30 are not counted
on account of poor attendance , owing to
cold , wet weather not constituting such
games representative ones.
(3) ( ) Games with foreign club'j not to bo
counted. The bowling and general playing
on such occasions being so much sharper
than In purely practice games It would In
many cases cut down ttio averages of those
who took part In favor of thcto who did
not.
(4) ( ) lu case of tlo between the two high
est the man "having " the highest score before -
fore deducting handicap to bo declared the
winner.
I will glvo a bat lo the man having the
best average , subject , of course , to deduction
of Kio hnndlcnp. The bat to bo presented
at the beginning of next season.
I find It impracticable to fix a. handicap
for bowling averages. I recommend that It
bo decided without a handicap , but subject
to the requirement of bowling In a certain
number of games. Foreign as well ns prac
tice matches to count. J. FIIANCIS.
The Idea of handicapping the best play
ers Is perhaps a good one , as there is no
question but what In an open competition
the prize would go to ono of about four
players who nlwnys lead in batting and
the chances of the other players would bs
so small that all Interest In the contest
would bo lest. The committee , It would
seem , has put aery heavy handicap on
Bate and Now , as supposing cither of these
men have an avcrago of 20 at ( ho end of
the season , when their handicap has been
deducted they will only have an average of
6. However , In their case the penalty Is
none too heavy , ns cither of them , if up to
their usual form , ought to lu\e a fair show
In the contest.
In the cases of Lennon , Taylor , Q.
Vaughun , Cameron , and , perhaps , Tuffleld ,
the writer thinks the committee das been
too lenient.
Taylor , Cameron , G. Vaughan nnd Lennon
are certainly reasonably sure of being very
close up to Bate and New In Iho open av
erages at the end of the season and lo class
them ns ten runs lower In the averages
is not quite fair , If their records can prove
anv thing. In seasons gone by G. Vaughan ,
Cnmeron , Taylor and Bate have always been
wirtl bunched , with only n run or two eepa-
rallng them nt tlio finish , nnd why their
capabilities should have suddenly grown less
Is haul lo comprehend.
It Is to bo hoped the commltteo will see
tin way clear to reconsider the handicap
ping of these four men at least , and the
writer would Hko "to dec them penalized at
least five moro runs apiece. As the handi
cap stands now , Bate and New have a
fair chance against some of tlie poorer bats
men of the club , but the race for the coveted
oted prlzo reits between the four above
named men , and the poorer batsmen , whom
the handicap was supposed to help , are in
no better condition than before , in this
criticism of the commltteo'B action the
writer wishes It understood that tie does not
Imply that the members of It Intended to
bo unfair , but simply that their judgment
was bad.
CHESS ,
Notwithstanding the rapid growth of the
Nebraska Chess association , only aery
small per cent of the chess players of Ne
braska have shown their interest In the
royal game by becoming members of the
etato organization. The ccst of playing a
game by correspondence will not exceed ,
on the average , 35 cents , postal cards or
private mailing cards being used after the
flrst move. A well known chess writer has
satii ;
"As a rule the opportunities for board p'ay
are restricted to players residing In the
largo cities , wlillo those In smaller towns
are often compelled to lay aside their favor-
llo game through scarcity of opponents. It la
impossible to describe the peculiar charm of
correspondence play. It Is a combination of
board battle , being an encounter of two In
tellects , and problem solving , for every
move , like a kaleidoscope , turns the game
Into beautiful combinations , The only way
Is to try a game and be convinced , "
There are hundreds of chcjsa players in
Nebraska , etrong players In the mid-game
but weak In the opening moved , because
they have never learned the openings , Ono
game ( bj correspondence will be moro bcno-1
flclol to one of thee than fifty games over ,
the bo.ird , because by the tlmo ten or
twelve * moves have been made ( ill the possi
ble good moves In the game will have been
studied carefully nnd elx months after the
game 1 ended each plnjcr can piny the
game through from memory nnd tell why
ho 1 made each move.
The third round of the International Chess
tournament was begun Friday noon. The i
pairing of the plajers was In accordance ]
with round fifteen of the Borgcr ejstem , nnd ]
the plajcrs therefore met each other In the i
following order Mason against Stelnltz :
