The telegraphic dispatches from rnrso , S.
D. , yesterday told of the failure of "Hndll
Aladl. " the Terrible Turk , to throw some
local man twlco In an hour. This was new *
to tlio Omahn sports from the fact that
Hadll Adall , the giant Turkish wrestler , has
been In Omaha for the latt thrco days.
Hadll Adall came to this country under
the auspices of a Greek , whose scheme It
was to keep him In total Ignorance of the
language and customs of the American pee
ple. The Turk , however , was too sharp for
him , and when his contract had expired
Hadll came to Lou Houseman and wanted
him to look after his Interests. This Lou
undertook , but the Greek had made some
dates for the Turk , and ns there was con
siderable money In them he evidently tried
to fill them himself , and hence ho Is the
man who wrcitled at Fnrgo Friday night
and passed himself oft as the Turk.
. The Associated Press has been notified of
the Imposture and will make It as public as
possible.
Thcro waa not much betting on the big
FltzBlmmons-Jeffrlcs light In Omahn , and
yet some money changed hands. Probably
the largest winner was Dr. Carl Louis 1'erln ,
who had $ SGO toot on Jeffries , of which ho
placed $ oOO In New York and $3fiO In this
city , and aa he received 2 to 2 ho la win
ner about $2,115. The doctor sajs that
FItz has always been a personal friend of
his , but ho was certain that ho would lose
this time.
The Omaha Wheel club has outgrown Its
present quarters and needs must seek ti
more commodious place In order to meet the
demands of Its greatly Increased member
ship. The wheel clHb lias become qulto an
Institution and has on Its membership list
many of the more prominent wheelmen of
the city.
To help out on Us new quarters the club
li to hold a picnic today at Sarpy mills
and every wheelman who can scrape up a
wheel will bo- seen Journeying out the Center
street road or else through South Omaha.
All sorts of games will bo plajcd and all
manner of contests will bu Indulged In.
Heats are provided and there are fish In the
nig I'aplo.
Blcyclo races , sack races , potato races ,
shooting gallery and greased pigs will make
all manner of sport for the wheel boys. A
prlro will bo gl\cn for the girl with the best
btcyclo costume , and to Insure Impartiality
In the Judging Mltthaur has been made
chairman of the committee.
Invitations have been sent to all the wheel
clubs of the neighboring towns and they all
promise to Bend a big delegation. The Coun
cil Bluffs boys are coming over In a body
to Join the Omaha club at the club rooms at
10 a. m. , when , headed by band , the
"gang" will all go out in a body.
The Intercollegiate Rowing association ,
consisting of the Universities of Cornell ,
Pennsylvania and Columbia , Is the only col
lege roivlng association In the United States
.holding an annual regatta In which the lead
ing colleges in the United States are invited
to participate. The chief object of this as
sociation is to afford an opportunity annu
ally for rowing competition In order to
demonstrate which of the university crows
of the country is entitled to premier honors ,
The annual regatta of this association will
bo hold on the Poughkoepsle-HIghland
course on the Hudson river on June 26 and
27 , 1899. There will bo three events , as fol
lows :
The freshman eight-oared race between
the Universities of Wisconsin , Columbia ,
Cornell and Pennsylvania.
The four-oared race between the Universi
ties of Cornell and Pennsylvania , both of
which events will take place on Juno 26.
The university eight-oared race between
the Universities of Cornell , Pennsylvania ,
Wisconsin and Columbia , which will take
place on Juno 27.
The conditions under which these races
will bo rowed this year will too the same as
those which governed the previous regattas
of this association , with such modifications
as may too decided upon by the board of
stewards , which Is matlu up as follows :
Francis S. Bangs , Columbia ; Prof. Benjamin
Ido Wheeler , Cornell ; Thomas Heath , Penn
sylvania. These stewards will have the se
lection of the officials , which list will bo
made up of college men well known In col
lege aquatic circles. The stewards of the
Intercollegiate Rowing association expect to
formulate plans , which -will Insure the future
annual regattas of the association being moro
representative than the ono of this > ear and
those of previous years , and with this end In
view they have expressed the Intention of In
viting all the prominent colleges Interested
In rowing to organize rowing departments
BO as to Insure each college having represen
tation In the annual regatta of the Intercol
legiate Rowing association In 1900. The
stewards of the Intercollegiate Rowing as
sociation have expressed themselves as being
favorable to Including additional ovento for
the 1900 program. The program for 1900 will
probably Include freshmen and university
races In the following events : Single scull ,
double scull , four-oared race , eight-oared
race , and It may bo that other special events
will bo added. This program will admit of
Yale and Harvard entering In the single ,
double or four-oared events , and still con-
tlnuo their dual Harvard-Yale olght-oarod
race at Now London , and the duto of the
annual regatta of the Intercollegiate Rowing
association for 1900will , If necessary , ho so
arranged as to admit of Harvard and Yale
rowing their dual race nt New London and
afterwards competing In the annual regatta
of the Intercollegiate Rowing association
over the Poughkccpslc-IUghland course iu
order to glvo Yale and Harvard an opportu .
nity to demonstrate their ability to cope with j |
< he crew * of thft other leading universities
of the country
Thn Intercollegiate KMoclntlon Is In hopes
It will have foreign collect crews to
compete In 1WO or 1K)1. ) It Is reasonably
* ure that the University of Toronto will b
represented In the reRHttn of 1900 , and It Is
hoped that Oxftrd and Cambridge , and prob-
nbly xi.mo of the college * of the continent
of Kurope will be repreonted In the regatta
of 101. ! If this measure of the Intercol
legiate Honing association I * successful , the
future annual regattas will be In effect the |
world's Intercollegiate regatta It does stem I
singular that with all the rapid strides that
have been made In amateur sport In the way
of the formation of national associations to
govern every form of sport that the matter
of the formation of an Intercollegiate rowIng -
Ing association to encourage Intercollegiate
rowing should ha\e been taken up nt such
a late day. Hut It would seem from present
Indications that rowing Is to be the college
fad , athletically speaking , of the future.
The Poughkcepsle-Hlghland course Is four
mlltvi straight away , no the crow flies , wltn
a dppth of water ranging from forty-two to
ei'vcnty-slx feet , with an unobstructed view
of the course on the west shore of the Hud
son for four miles , with splendid facilities
for an observation train to follow the tace
from start to finish , with nn n\crngo width
of the river of over half a mile , and a an
lllustrttlon of the facilities of the course it
may bo slated that there la sufficient avail
able space from start to finish to enable as
many aa forty boats to start abreast In ono
heat , and ( hen there would bo room for the
private yachts , Hteanicrs and other water
craft on the east or Poughkoepslo side of
the river to anchor and \Icw the races.
There arc socral events for the near
future which are of Interest to the local
levers of sport. In the first place the Turk ,
Hadll Adall , the sultan's lion , will bo with
us again for a short time , ns ho has been
billed for another big wrestling content.
Since his latest visit to Omaha the Turk
has been nil over the country , oven going
to the copper mlno districts of northern
Michigan , and meeting the miners in their
own style of wrestling , which Is the Cotnlsh.
Ho has met some whom he has failed to
throw the required number of times in the
set time , but this has been duo largely to
their sprinting qualities rather than to their
wrestling ability. Farmer Hums was ona
of these , and he managed to keep the Turk
from flooring him for over forty-five min
uted , but the Fanner Is without doubt the
best at this stjlo of sport that this countr >
over produced.
The Interscholastlc field day meet between
the rcpreseutathes of the Omaha and Coun
cil Bluffs high schools next Saturday prom
ises to bo a very Interesting affair. The
games were to have taken place yesterday
at the Young Men's Christian Association
park , but the rain caused a postponement
of the park opening , BO the High school
events had nlt > o to ibo postponed.
Heretofore foot ball and base ball games
have been annual fixtures between the two
schools , and a good healthy rivalry has been
worked UD. and It is hoped that this meet
will bo the first of a regular scries which
will bo arranged to bo played every year.
The base ball games have been dropped this
spring largely because the Omaha boys are
lamentably weak , caused by the graduation
of most of their best base ball players. This
Is not the proper spirit. The team should
bo reorganized and do the best It can. If
they cannot win games they can at least
develop players who next year might bo the
nucleus for a winning team. The same spirit
was shtfwu with the foot ball team lost fall.
You can't win all the games , but you can
do the ( best you can.
Captain Karl Painter of the track team
has been taking advantage of the week's
postponement , and has been working his men
hard oVcry day and will continue to do BO this
coming week.
Tarklo has Invited the base tall team of the
High school to'a game of ball at that place
on the 14th and the locals are organizing and
practicing dally for the contest. Tarklo Is
a good example of the progressive spirit In
athletics. Formerly they were ranked In
nil branches of athletics as good competitors
for high schools , but with true western
push they decided to got out of the rut. They
began with foot toll and scraped up enough
money to hire a coach Gordon Clarke and
then Frank Crawford was secured , with the
result that Tarklo's team ranks next to those
of the four state universities with whom
they played several games last season. Tar
klo has produced many excellent players
In the last few seasons Kennedy , Chicago's
captain , la an old Tarklo student , as was
also Erwln and Bailey of the famous Wesleyan -
loyan team.
Jack Prince writes that ho is about to put
In his appearance la Omaha again with an
other scheme. This tlmo it Is a portable
bicycle track , ten laps to the mile , and It Is
Jack's scheme to organize" " a regular circuit.
Ho wishes to Include Omaha In the list.
His plant Is called a. Velodrome , and It Is
said "that ho hns captured the people of
Kansas City with It , and that It Is the talk
of the town.
On June 2-1 , at thd Younfr Men's Christian
Association park an excellent program of
amateur and professional bicycle races will
bo run off , at which the best of prizes will
bo given. Slnco the destruction of the old
fair grounds' half-mile track the racing con
tingent of the wheelmen has had no place
to train , and the usual number of racers have
not becn-developed. Now that the new track
Is completed and the..boy9 have n chance to
train Interest In the racing game Is bound
to Increase. The races on June 24 are al
ready attracting much attention , as these are
the first races for several years whore the j
amateurs have had a chance to win good
and valuable prizes and UHI professionals to
nil their pockets with the coin of the realm.
Riders from out In the t > tate will compote
and the meet promises to , bo the largest
affair In Its line hqld In Omaha for a long
time.

The shooting tourney which was held at
Sioux City laet week under the auspices ot |
the See Gun club was a success In every i
particular The Omaha boys carried off a
majority oC the honors. In the flrst placu 1
Frank Crablll won the championship rup |
( or amateur * by kilting fifteen straight nnd
winning In the mles-nnd-uut shoot-off In
which twelve bad won the chance of con-
letting.
In the jquad shoot the Oninha team , com-

Ulck Klmball , Frank Crablll nnd Andrews.
won by the score of 72 mil of 7S , which wa <
excellent shooting considering the strong
wind which swept ncrosu the field. On the
lost day Townsend raailo 93 per cent nnd
M 'Donald 02 , but the record of thi shoot
was the splendid wore made by Fred Gil
bert. Of course , being n professional , he was
barred from the money , jet ho shot In all
the events for four rtnjs nnd out of 610 he
missed only nine. Gilbert and Hudd shot a
match rate of 100 , and again Gilbert showed
his skllby winning by a score of 98 to 05.
If nny one gets It Into his head that
ho can shoot ho doesn't Iwe to look far fern
n competitor , and as a result ot this feeling
many matches hnvo been made. At the next
meeting of the Duponl Gun club there will
bo a match race of 100 targets each be
tween Townsend nnd Curtlss against IJcrlln
and Burgess.
Word hns come up from Langdon that the
bass arc through spawning and nro Just be
ginning to bite. Many of the \Vnltons are ,
therefore , making preparations to Journey
Mlssourlwnrd to lake In the sport. Lake
Washington will also get Its share , ns al
ready several parties hnvo been organized
for the Minnesota trip to the domicile of
Pat Shecan.
Fred Goodrich and party have been at
Qulnncbaug for some time , nnd as an cvl-
ilenco of the presence of fish In that vicinity
Fred sent to some of his friends n. big string
of bass , plko and catfish. He says that the
water In the lake Is rising nnd that llshlng
Is good and Improving.

decided upon trying Saturday horse racing ,
with cash prizes , to attract the farmers' boys
with their supposedly speedy colts and

NOTES OF THE CRICKETERS

I tic fourth ,
Before the same niralnst Denver on July
4 , Captain Francis should take fho or six of
the team nnd beat them half to death with n
stuflcd club and then proceed to lecture them
on running. In the last two or three Satur
day games the way some ot the old players
have run each other nnd themselves out Is
simply outrnceous. And on the other hand
the way some of them have been throwing
away runs through pure nnd elinplu laziness
Is equally bad. There Is no necessity to
take desperate chances of losing n wicket
for the sake of a run ; Indeed , It Is better to
sacrifice a few possible runs for the GnV < 3
of being sure of keeping up the wickets , but
when n batsman deliberately throws away
run after run , It not only becomes vcrj
monotonous for the spectators , but the runs
he Is losing for his side through his Indif
ference mlcht win the game. The batsman
who Is nt the bowler's end of the crease
should be ready to run the moment the ball
leaves the bowler's hand nnd both batsmen
should run -tho first run ns fast as possible
nnd recover themselves Immediately In order
to be ready to run without giving or re
ceiving any signal or In nny way guarding
against being run out , nnd others don't begin
to run unless they see the ball about a mile
beyond the outfield , nnd then they mnko one
or perhaps two runs off n hit which If run
out properly should bring them four or per
haps five.
Omaha should have no difficulty In de
feating Denver on July 4 , but the foolish
running which has been Indulged In lately
on the homo crounds Is sufllctcnt to insure
defeat to Captain Francis' team It It pur
sues the same tactics on that date. There's
some excuse If Inexperienced olayers mnko
errors In running , tout with old-timers there
Is none nnd Captain Francis should see that
this foolishness Is stopped at once.
Secretary Reynolds of the Omahas Is In
receipt of a letter from the secretary of the
Manitoba association asking him to send
photographs of the most prominent players
and oMlcers of the club In order that the
papers In that region rony publish cuts of
them during the tournament In July. The
writer suggests that nil the members of the
team which Is to make the trip send their
photographs to Secretary Reynolds nt once
so that he may Immediately have a com-
pcHlto ilcturo made , properly showing the
really handsome men -who will represent
Omahn. This picture should .bo . sent to the
Canadian editors to publish. If this Is done
the attendance at the games will surely be
Immense.
There are persistent rumors In the air that
Denver will not send a team to Winnipeg.
If such Is the case the tournament will not
bo held In Denver next summer , ns It would
under ordinary circumstances. The by-laws
of the Northwest Cricket association dis
tinctly say that If any club falls to bo rep
resented at nny of the tournaments It shall
forfeit Its right to have the tournament at Its
homo grounds when , Us turn comes , and
that the club next in order shall have It In
stead. This being so , Chicago will capture
the meeting for next year. Tho. local play
ers will very much regret Denver's Inability
to hold up its end In the association , and the
change In the location of the tournamerit
will be n disappointment to nil , not that
the trip to Chicago is moro difficult than the
ono to Denver , but our bojs have been to
Chicago several times nnd n trip to Colorado
would ho a novelty to most of them.
Secretary Reynolds or Captain Francis
would bo glad to hear from the Lincoln
State university In regard to a game. Last
season various reports reached Omaha of
how the boys down there were taking to the
game nnd ( becoming quite expert at it , nnd It
Is to bo hoped that the interest has not
waned altogether. If the boys think that
they cannot get a team of eleven who could
nmko it Interesting for the Omahas , no
doubt Captain Francis could bo Induced to
let them put fifteen or twenty men on the
team against his eleven. Anyhow , if the
boys care to open up negotiations on the
subject they can do so by writing to Secretary -
rotary Reynolds at 1502 Farnnm street or to
the sporting editor of this paper.
BRIEF BASE BALL GOSSIP
\ie and COIIIIIK-IUM on Player * tlmt
Are of IntiTCNt to People
of Ojiinlm.
Third Baseman Williams has developed
Into tbo most tlmery hitter on the PiHsbunr
"nd h'3 ' fleldlne Js nt n
The slump In the Chicago club's playing
has produced a corresponding slump in the
attendance.
Pitcher Ruslo was recently engaged by
the Wnlmsh college team to pitch aealns-
the University of Nebraska , but did not
keep his engagement , forfeiting $2n. Money
Is evidently no object to the big pitcher.
Kid Gleason's prediction that Manager
Irwin struck n bonanza in Kid Slagle wns
no evanescent pipe thought. Sfaglo Is al
ready n favorite In the western circuit nnd
his running catch of a long drUe In Fri
day's game stemmed the tide of a possible
batting rally. Slaglo Is bound to figure ns
one of the most valuable run-getters on the
team , ns he falls to recognize the erratic
shoots served up by pitchers who are shy
on control. Ho will work his passage to
flrst on balls oftener than nny batsman
among the Senators nnd on Friday won the
game by a timely three-bagger.
The moat interesting race In the base hair
world Is that In the Western League On
Thursday there were only fhe games differ.
ence between the leaders and the tall-
enders. This seems to keep up the enthusi
asm and the games are all well attended
St. Paul and Milwaukee were tied for the
flrst place , with all the others in Bght |
Kansas City has been falling off nnd Is ne\t
to the bottom , but has recently been
strengthened by the addition of Jake Gott-
man and Billy Hulen rrom Washington
and Is likely to again go to the front.
Rettger of Milwaukee seems to bo the
winning pitcher of the > ear , as he has won
nearly air of his games.
In the National League the mirprlDo of the
season Is tbo position nnd playing of the
Baltlmoies. They were billed as "dubs , "
as only Robinson and McGraw of the old
team ore left The balance are the subs of
the old team and the left-overs from Biook-
lyn They have been winning from all the
best clubs and have pushed themselves up
to fifth place.
Washington seems to bo Chicago's hoodgo ,
as It beat them two out of three on the
western trip nnd won three straight from
them in Washington.
It Is quite noticeable the way the third
basemen are slugging the ball nowadays
The other day four different third basemen
made a three-bagger Williams , Collins ,
Wolverton and Wngnor. Wallace is nlfao
hitting the ball In great shape.
New York , attendance 300. This is about
the weok-day average of New York , the
best base half town on earth. Of course
this Is not the fault ot Andy Freedman

subsequent line of piny , freeing also the
Q B and the game generally ,
( b. ) Better than K Kt-B 3 nt onco.
( c ) This appears to be qulto a novelty
and Us efficacy is doubtful. No doubt It was
nn experiment. The Q B , however. Is of
more use at Q B than nt R 3 , where , by the
next move , It Is Intended to play that piece.
( d ) It would bo dangerous to play K-
K Kt , nnd now a pawn is lost.
( o ) Blac ) ; maintains the attack much
better by refusing the tempting offer of the
exchange here. If 13x11 , QxB with a strong
game nnd an attack of some force.
( f ) This fine sacrifice came as a genuine
surprise.
( g ) Thcro Is nothing apparently better
now , as mate Is threatened , but of course
black gains more than he has given away
by his grand combination. The ending Is
remarkably flne , nnd the whole game
original , suggestive and entertaining.

( a ) P-QB at once , offering the Queen's
gambit , is accounted to bo White's best
move In this opening.
( b ) By nn inversion of the moves the
game at this point presents the same posi
tion ns a Queen's gambit declined.
( c ) It seems that Black has plenty of
fight left ; ho might have tried Kt-Q 6 to
prolong the game and force exchange of
bishops. With two passed pawns , however ,
menacing him , ho has llttlo to hope for.
