I'ueblo. and arc now safely
the percentage column, with but th? re
molest chance of being deposed during the
balance of the season. The showing of the J
Caltn against the Pueblo Terrors has been i 5
especially praiseworthy, owing to the fact
that for several days the Hulenltes wt-re tic 1
for. first place with the locals, and since ths
latter have conclusively demonstrated their
superiority over tho mountaineers it looks
ob though tho pennant were already clinched.
To say that the fans are delighted with
the work of the home team expresses It but
mllily Their Joy knows no bounds and the
manner In which they have been turning out
to the week-day games, which ordinarily
are poorly attended, has evinced the extent
of their pride and the measure of their
Rood feeling toward the coming winners of
the brand new Western League pennant.
Today will be the last chance for several
days to witness a professional game, as the
locals left yesterday for a tour abroad.

today, for thrco days only, when St. Joseph

While Omaha Is maintaining the standard
of excellent ball with which the season was
started, nil ot the other clubs are Improv
ing decidedly and it ls n nip and tuck race
botween the other five for second money,
with a fair field and no favor. At present
Denver and Dcs Moines are hot-fcotlng It
along together, neck and neck with Pueblo,
and the race for second place Is certainly
a .most Interesting and exciting one. Bel
den Hill Is out ot tho Des Moines club and
Parker, pitcher and general utility man,
has been Installed on the Initial bag, with
Lohman back of the wind-pad. The Hawk
eyes have struck a lively pace and their
meeting with the Champions Is exciting a

PALAVER OF THE PUGILISTS
Hrrrj- Vaimfr'i Drmy iTltli Dltnu
CaiKe III StocU to Take n Illir
Illne GiihsIp nt Conilnir I'IeIiIk.
Four ot the leading votaries ot light
weight pugilism furnished what amuse
ment was. offered the followers ot fiitlanla
last week. Tuesday night two cracking
good bouts -were, pulled off one ln New
Yoric between Terrible Terry McGovern and
Tommy White ot Chicago, the other In Chi
cago between George Dixon, erstwhile light
velght champion of the world, and Benny
Yanger. Tho outcome ot the first was no
surprise, for It was generally pre
dicted that McGovern would finish his man
within the limit. This he did, knocking out
Tommy In the third round. Yanger's show
ing against the former champion of tho
lightweights was, however, a decided sur
prise and stamps htm as one ot the comers
in his class and one who may aspire to a
meeting with the Terrible Terry himself
before a great while. Speaking ot Yanger
prior to the fight this tribute was paid him
by George Slier:
"Yanger. as yet considered a novice, has
been coming, and coming fast. He has done
everything asked of him. True, he has not
defeated boxers ot great note, such as Mc
Govern, Dixon, Oscar Gardner and other
crack featherweights, but he has never lost
to any that he has met. What more Is
necessary? He Is a green boy at the game;
Is young and strong; leads a model lite;
taeks the best caro ot himself; Is Improving
In sclenco every twenty-four hours; Is game
to the core, and, furthermore, is full ot
confidence."

Other Content to KoIIimt.
At its Wednesday night meeting the Omaha
Whist club entertained halt a dozen ot its
friends from Council Bluffs and the contest
was in the nature ot an informal Interstate
tournament. Council Bluffs has turned out
a large number ot whisters competent ln all
respects to cope with any players In this
section of the west. It ls probable that a
contest will be arranged ln the near future
when representatives from both sides of the
river will be formally pitted against one
another. The Elks club has been making
rapid strides since Its defeat by Its Council
Bluffs brothers last winter ami believes that
the score would now be more uniform.

To the Knickerbocker Whist club of New
York belongs the honor ot holding the
American Whist league trophy until the next
annuat congress of the league, which will
meet at Niagara Falls ln July. The last
match was played against Albany and the
reeult was In favor cf the New York club
by the score of 21 to 12. As there wero no
other challengers In line the Knickerbockers
were unable to break the record of tho
season, which has been that no club has been
ablo to bold the cup for more than ono
match after winning It. This winds up a
very successful season for the Knickerbock
ers, who have distinguished themselves by
winning the lnter-clty tournament with ono
team and the challenge trophy with another
and who have twice beaten their rivals across
the bridge In matches tor five teams of four
men each.
GOLFERS PRACTICING DAILY

The golfers of the Country club are un-
remitting ln their dally practice, while
their fellow sportsmen of the Kountzo

zeal. Captain Lawrte ot the latter organlza-
Hon ls entertaining the purpoee of challeng
ing the Benson enthusiasts to a match
game, fcur or five to the side. He inti
mates that ho is only waiting until the more
tecently converted cranks have attained a
form that will make them worthy oppo
nents ot the North Omaha men. The
Country club players are not In the least
reluctant on that ecore, however, and point
with some pride to scores ot forty-seven
and forty-eight for the nine holes over
formidable hazard and hilly greens as an
Index ot what their players are capable ot.
In order to test their comparative merits
Captain Lawrlo and Arthur Jaqulth made a

Wlllard Butler, who was struck oa the
temple on Monday with a ball from the club
of Arthur Jaqulth. appeared on the Coun
try club Units again on Friday none the
worse for the occurrence. it wns feared
for several days that there was an Injury
to the brain which might end seriously.
Butler was unconscious for twenty-four
hours, with his head .racked securely In lee.
Tho danger of concussion passed, however,
and the young athlete rapidly regained his
normal health.
Among the women players there are many
who prefer tho Kountze Place links to the
Country club through motives hot altogether
scientific, but none the less satisfactory.
These of them who are not ambitious for
athletic distinction and have not molded
their past lives with that end la view find
the long walk around the eighty-two acres
of tho greens a. somewhat tedious per
formance. Then they are of the opinion
that the boles are at a distressing distanco
apart. The drive to the very first is not In
tolerable, but when It comes to the 375-yard
pull before the second In reached there are
some few complaints. The best players
among the men usually cover the distance
with a long drive of perhaps l.. yards, two
more of probably 100 each, with one more
for the approach, but the members of the
fair sex pursue a more devious and linger
lng path and frequently consume eight or
ten strokes. The Kountze liace tract on
the contrary Is more like unto a stroll In
the front yard and the more gentle players
show no sign of diminished interest.
The contest for the Lawrle medal In the
Kountze Place club Is progressing and each
Fweck the secretary receives scores better
than those of the preceding contests. Tne
stake and the records are furnishing Just
the needed stimulus which Captain Lawrlo
counted upon. The full scores of the con
testants will be published next week and
are expected to bo In all respects creditable.
Judge Shields at present is slightly ln the
lead for the men, while bis wife has an ad
vantage among players of her sex. The
scores for la3t week are given below, the
men covering a course of eighteen holes anl
the women nine holes: Mrs. Shields. 67;
Mrs. Stevenson. 6S; Mrs. Lawrle. 75; Mrs.
Crowly, 77, Judge Shields. 93: Mr. Old
fields. 103; Mr. Jacqulth. 10S. Mr. Lewi.
111. The high score for the week and the
record for tho course were the nim boles
covered by Captain Lawrle ln thirty-eighth.
His second round in the elghten-hole course
was covered in 43. a total of S3, twelve
lower than the best mark among the cup
punters.
OMAHA BEATS KANSAS CITY
Missouri Cricketers Not In Snrue On
M-lth elirnknn Next Match
with Chicago.
The visit of the Omaha team to Kunsas
City resulted, as predicted, ln the visitors
carrying off the honors. The visitors were
delighted with the entertainment and excel
lent wicket provided them, but competent
critics were disappointed that the Omaha
men did not pile up at least 100 more runs
against the Indifferent bowling opposed to
them. The two Omaha bowlers, though un
ehanzed throughout the Innings, were not up
to usual form, and they have to thank the
excellent fielding of their men for making
the fine record they did. To get through a
match without a single bye being scored
Is an unusual sight on an Omaha score sheet,
but, thanks to the good wicket keeping of
the Cardinal and the very excellent long
stopping of the colt, Moore, this new record
was made. In the latter player and the
West Indian, Doorley, the Omaha club has
found two recruits who are likely to de
velop Into players of the first water.
Cameron made his runs In his usual origi
nal style, and George Vaughan. when thor
oughly set and apparently In for a century
score, made the- usual mistake of treating
the not over dangerous bowling with too
I much Indifference, and as a consequence lost
Uls wicket. Doorley and Tom Moore made
their runs In good style, but the rest ot the
team, perhaps thinking their opponents were
getting too much of a good thing, dldn t pre
tend to trouble tho bowlers much.
Omaha has such a string of bowlers of
! eoual merit that the second Innings of the
j Kansas men was but a repetition of the first,
I only more so. That the homo club, with the
j new material at Its command, will make a
good showing ln the coming tournament ln
Chicago goes without saying, and there Is
1 no reason why our boys should not beat their
I previous excellent record.

ner endeavors to return to third base, but
finds the way blocked by the third baseman,
who is occupying the line, but without the
