It seems to bo About all over so far aft

and Denver having apparently sate leadi
In their respective leagues. For second
pla"c there Is a lively scramble In each ol
tho three Pittsburg JllHt now seems to
have a cinch at this position, but the
Pirates have another trip to make east,
nd they haven't proved a first ehop road
team. According to this Philadelphia and
Chicago both have a look In fer the place.
It Is. though, iiultc within th rang'- of
possibilities that I'rcd Clarice can land his
Pirates in Prst place fe,r n moment at
least, as Hrooklyn Is not r, ;heuil, but
n llliln slump will hot them back. How
ever, the Supcrhnn nrc p'sylng the ball
that has imulu Hnnlcti fntinus, and
tlmro Is llitlo more reason lo expect them
to drop limn there Is to look fcr the sheep
to kill the butcher. My the way, Joe Mc
ninnlly signalized his return to the team
from his Omaha visit by pitching two
Kantes during the week. holding St. I.ouIh
down to one run and Hlmttlnp out Pitts
burg. Thn other teams In 'he league have
fibout taken tholr places, although Boston
Is hanging on to Chicago like ti pup to a

Milwaukee was playing Chicago while Wnt

now as fast as It wan winning u little time

nati catcher. Abbattlcbla, from Minne
apolis, and nilly ll.illnmn. the heavy hit

xslndtip In this race will be well worth the
prlco of admlsHlon.
In our own tight little league, Denver
Is there, barring some such slump as that
which overtook Omohu. And here the light
comes again for second place. Omaha
lias a chance for this, as also do Dea
Moines and St. Joseph. Thorn Is mer"
than local jirlde In the suggestion tint tho
place Is Omaha's. Moth Hes Moines and
St. Joseph seem to have shot their bol',
while Omaha Is getting second wind and Is
really playing better ball than nny time
during the year. Dissensions which marred
tho team work have been, In a greit
measure, wiped nut. and the hoys mean to
do what they are capable of. Hard luck
Hi 1 11 pursues the team, with the two best
catchers In the league. Wilson and I.oh
mnn. crippled Kddle l.nuzon Is doing fine
work baik of the bat. but bis best friends
do not suggest him as a peer of either cf
the men Omaha has laid up. This hurts,
but the showing at Denver suggests that
it Isn't fatal. Pueblo has been the surprise

fielding error, nnd on Friday only one was
chalked lip. that being charged to Herte,
the hardworking Sioux city jitiortstop.
Klghtcen Innings with but one fielding
error, and that cutting no flguro In the
sore. in pretty good hall In anybody's
league.
One of the features of the week has
befm the rowdylBm that has cropped out.
At St. !,ouls First Haseman MrOann of tho
St. Uouls team and Third Haseman Wolvcr
ton of Philadelphia dropped league rules
nnd had a little catrh-as-cateh-can mlxup.
but no one was lined. Then at Cincinnati
Dig Dill Phllllpii of thn !!vla took excep
tions to Fielder Thomas of the Quakers'
style of batting and told him so. Thomas
called Dig Mill a Unr and Ulll landed a
right hook that took the place of a base
hit, but neither was fined and the game
went on. At St. I.ouis tho crowd In the
5cmml stand wont after Pink Hawley of the
Quakers no hard that Pink cried, but no
ono was ejected from the stand nnd Pink
was hissed when ho resented the vile names
that were being hurled at him. Out at
Denver every player of a vIMtlng team
has been subjected to tho abuso of tho
grand stand hoodlums, while Umpire
Kbrlght has earned his dally stipend by
putting up with the foulest of abuse from
the home players, this being ho marked In
several Instances that the partisan Denver
papers havo felt called upon to protest
against It, yet It has not been stopped
and still people wonder why women do no
like to go to bnll games. Omaha, thank
the I,ord, Is frco from this sort of thing.
It Is not because Omaha people lack spirit,
nor because they are not partlsnns of the
home team. Omaha peoplo like to see
fair piny and they realize tho foolishness
"f calling an opponent names. This was
hown when Al Warner deliberately stole
n game from St. Joseph. Warner was
called names, hut It was In a very qulot
way by a very quiet gentleman, who came
down from tho grand stand at the conclu
sion of tho gntne ami told Warner, without
any profanity or obscenity, that ho was n
thlif and unlit to umpire. It Is likely,
however, that the presence of Mrs. War
ner was whnt averted a personal en
counter, fer II Is hard to think that even
an umpire could wlthstnnd such a roast
without resenting It. Omaha's players
have been unmercifully abused by the
press In other towns on the circuit, yet
they have tho first ungentlcmanly or un
sportsmanlike act to commit on tho home
grounds. This Is what makes It hard for
Omaha pople to believe the team Is guilty
of rowdyism abroad. Haso ball has tho
call over all outdoor sports In America
and It Is a pity that the few uuruly spirits
who got on teams nnd the boors who get
Into the grandstand or bleachers are al
lowed to mar It.
With the pennants practically disposed
or. comes the most Important topic of tho
season-next year's circuit. This will Un
Hoiibtedly afford food for gossip all winter,
for It Is hardly probable that tlie circuits
will be made up before spring. Hut the out
I.nes are now forming so that a reasonably
accurate guess can be made. In the big
lengtio there Is talk of n return to the
twelve-club circuit. Urush has already de
clared himself n favor of It. The recent
establishment of an entente cordlale be
tween Ilrush and Rogers suggests that this
will be n lively Issue nt tho meeting of thn
magnates to he held Jusl after the season
doses, but. nf course. It will be referred
to the circuit committee. Should the old
twelve-club circuit be restored, Louisville
and Baltimore will surely he L'lveu teams.
This leaves two (0 be divided between
Indianapolis. Cleveland, Detroit nnd Wash
ington. Here is ample scope for the form
Players to use their dope. On the other
hand, thcro Is such a thing as tho Hrooklyn
team going to Baltimore, for the experiment
that brought the transfer of u winning team
to a losing town has not been so fruitful
as was hoped. St. Imls may also be
dropped, for the reason that Frank Do Haas
Kobliihon, dend game sport though ho Is,
gets snro once In a long time, and he Is
very sore at tho showing his tenm has made
this year. Ilo has tho highest-priced team
Hint over capered across the diamond and
H holding second phco from tho bottom and
losing money. If Hrooklyn Is dropped for
Ualttmore, St. I.ouis will likely KVe place
to Washington. In this ovent the American
league circuit will be recast nnd St. I.ouis
and l.oul-vllle added. with a team In
Hrooklyn. This will menn the cutting off
of nt least three teams from the present
circuit. Two of these will bo Knm-as City
and Minneapolis, where the attendance lias
been light this summer. Tho other will be
either Milwaukee or Buffalo. On point of
attendance Milwaukee will have tho call,
for business has been mighty good up there
this sciibon. 11.000 peoplo paying to see ono
of the Chicago games last week. Buffalo
may get It on point of accessibility, for this
arrangement will afford a break In the Jump
fiom Cleveland to Hrooklyn. Base ball
magnaleii aro interested In the matter of
railroad fare, you know.
Let tho National league circuit stand as It
Is and there is still n readjustment coming
up. .Minneapolis has performed the usual
act- run tho team out of town. When tho
Millers are winning there Isn't room In the
county for the attendance. I,ct the team
strike a losing stieak and no one goes but
tho umpire and reporters. So the Min
neapolis games hnvo nil been transferred to
other cities ,m the circuit nnd the' tenm
Waller Wllmot was m proud of Is playing
ball like the one White Wings Tebeau took
out on the circuit from Columbus under
similar circumstances. That Is to say, It
Isn't playing ball at nil. There's a vacant
spot In Hie circuit for next season. Jimmy
.Manning looks on ihe money spent for rail
road fare to get his team to Buffalo nnd
back and thinks how much ho would save
If he were back In Ihe good old Western
league once more. There will bo nnothcr
break In the American circuit next season.
Both Manning and Wllmot havo watched
with great and growing Interest the success
of the Western league this season, and It Is
not at all Improbable thnt they will be after
tho two open franchises for next year.
Kansas City would be nn element of
strength, for a team from that city would
not divide, hut would Increase tho rivalry
between Omaha nnd Denver, by making It
three-cornered Instead of dual. Minne
apolis might not be such nn addition, be
cuuse of tlie nasty hnhlt the people up thcro
have of quitting. If Milwaukee could be got
ten In nn excellent foil would bo furnished
for Minneapolis. With Minneapolis nnd
Knnsaa City both out of the American, It
looks like Louisville and Baltimore for
their places. Then Washington will want
a team aud this brings the matter back to
a choice between Milwaukee and Buffnln,
with odds rather favoring Buffalo. This
leaves Milwaukee for n franchise In the
Western with Kansas City and Minneap
olis, nnd means that one Western team
will have to drop out. In this respect
tho choice nnrrows down to Sioux City
nnd Pueblo. Pueblo Is an experiment. It
has done very well this year nnd might for
all time. Sioux City fans aro the most
enthusiastic that grow anywhere nnd stick
to their team through good report and
evil report nnd they hnvo gone the Journey
In clays gone by gamely when St. Paut and
Minneapolis wero laying down. So this
choice seems to favor Sioux City. What
a glorious revival for the Missouri river
fanatics It would be to see tho old Western
league circuit revived Kansas City, St.
Joseph. Oninha and Denver for the west
half and Sioux City, Des Moines. Minneap
olis nnd Milwaukee for tho east. What
blessed memories of 'SS. "8?, '00. '01
and '92 that does revive' Omaha, Kan
sas City. Minneapolis und Milwaukee stuck
all through these years, with St Paul Des
Moines, Sioux City, Lincoln, St. Josopu,
Columbus, lndianapoli- Davenport. Duluth
nnd Chicago for fillers
It mny be a little early, but here is a
guess at the 1901 circuits
National Boston. Hrooklvn. Cincinnati
Chicago, New- York, pittstcirg. Philadel
phia, St I.ouli
American Baltimore, Buffalo, C'hliago
Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville
asningion.
Western Denver. Des Moines. Knnsns
City, Milwaukee. Minneapolis, Omaha
Hioux city, St. .losepn.
All of this means a llttlo higher grade of
ball than wc have had In the Western
this season. Five of the teams will have
to build tip materially to get In line with
the class above. Omaha will havo to look
up u second baseman, n third baseman
nnd a good outlleldcr, with at least one
more high-grade pitcher. There Is hardly
any likelihood now of Tommy Hughes
being sold Into the big league at the end of
the season. Tommy has the stuff. In him,
but he will need the training of at least
one more year in minor league ranks be
fore ho will do In the higher grade. Uonch
Is nil right and Newmeyer Is a comer. His
work shows much Improvement over his
early season experience. Ono more as
good as either of these nnd
Omaha's pitching talent is nil right.
Peter Lohman and Wllllo Wilson will
do for backstop work. I.auzon or O'Connell
111! the first base position all right
and there Isn't n better shortstop In the
gamo anywhere todny than Toman. Jimmy
Hoy is all right as far as mere mechanical
work goes, but he doesn't think as quick
as ho moves. He would make a splendid
outfielder. MeVlcker fills his field position
splendidly and If he could be induced to
bat with his old-time ambition ho could
hardly be Improved upon. Balrd Is u fair
hitter, an ordlnnry outfielder, but alto
gether too slow for tho Infield. Ilo bus
worked hard to cover second for Omaha
and has not failed because he didn't try
Thompson is uncertain all tho way around
und Tim O'Hourke has seen better das.
President Keith has his lines out for play
er all the time, but hasn't been able to
connect with that second basemnn ho needs
so badly. These aro tho problems the
baso ball crank can take to bed with him
after the last game has been played and
the season of 1000 Is closed.
PALAVER OF THE PUGILISTS
(Irent Variety of l-'Utle IJteuti.
Seheiluleil fur civ VorUer In
,eil 'I'nii WfcU,
Robert Pitzsimmons. the hero of many a
pugilistic encounter, tho man who held In
the hollow of his hand tho lieavyweigni
championship of the world for two yenrs
and more, has again broken Into the ranks
of tho top-notchers, If. Indeed. It may bo
considered that he was ever out of the very
front of the vanguard of the pugilistic
profession. A week ago Hcd Hobert put a
crimp In the aspirations and tho meteoric
career of Oustavus Huhlln of Ohio, and tho
state which furnishes tho nation with most
of Us presidents will havo to trot out some
new talent If It expects to outshine the
Fltzslmmons und tho Jeffries in tho prize
ring.
Tho battle was a royal one. Iluhlln was
touted by many for tho winner. Tho ad
vantage of youth nnd bulk was In his favor
and the recent victory he nchleved over
Thomas Sharkey was remembored to his
credit. But oppotcd to him was a gen
eralissimo In ring tactics, n master par
excellence of tho artflstlanlannd ho had that
old solar plexus drive up his sleovo rvndy
for uso whenever opportunity presented It
self.
A description of tho bout would bo need
less repetition, ttvery enthusiast of tho
squared circle anil the stuffed glove has
dovoured tho short battle round by round
as It has been graphically described hereto
fore. They remember that In tho first
round Fitz was a trifle nervous nnd that
Kuhlln looked like a posslblo winner. But
such a prospect was shortlived, for In tho
succeeding lounds the freckled-faced
Cornlshman went at It In the old-time
fashion and placed his antagonist on queer
street In tho sixth round, leaving him help
lessly battered, hopelessly defeated ilnd
easily vanquished.
In this last big fight Fitzsimmnns had the
bulk of popular favor on his sldo Just as
ho had at the time of thnt memorable con
test on one St. Patrick's day three years ago
and once again tho popular will was
vindicated. Huhlln went the same route
(hot Jim Corbett traveled before him. and in
his distress had tho chagrin and disappoint
ment of his comrade to sustain him In a
measure, for Corbett was with Huhlln at tho
ringside, offorlng suggestions and giving
advice that availed naught. (Jus Huhlln
leaped Into famo In the ranks of pugilism
through ono of those chances that
occasionally arlso and are nlwnya marveled
ut. He sprung into prominence by defeat
ing a man whom tho majority of sporting
men had picked for a winner. That his
victory over Sharkey was the result of tho
swinging of tho pendulum of fortune toward
mm nt an unexpected and unlooked-for
moment is reasonably proven by his
pronounced downfall In his very next en
gagement. Huhlln is h clover fighter, hut
for some time to come ho will not be In tho
class with the rlng-leaders. Kverjbody

golfer, fell before the best linll of Fcnn
and Flndloy, tho professionals, on the
Voland Springs (Maine) links Tuesday
nfternoon. Vardon was two down at tho
thirty-fifth hole. Fcnn and Flndloy won
through Vnrdon's misses of short putts,
v. herein tho holo was rimmed In each In
stance. The forenoon play ended with Fonn nnd
Flndley three up. In tho afternoon both
the local players had varying fortunes until
Vardon had brought tho scoro to two
down for himself and then tho match
ended. Of tho thlrty-slx holes nineteen
Veto halved.
Omaha golfers Bharo tho Interest of their
fellow-entluiBlnsts throughout nil America
In tho possibility of J. II. Taylor, tho open
golf champion of Kngland, who Is now In
America, meotlng his old-tlmo rival, Harry
Vardon. beforo his return ncross the
briny blue.
"If Taylor dots not play rne It will not bo
my fault," Vardon Is rpiotcd as saying, and
na courage Is one of Taylor's main charac
teristics It can bo set down as an assured
fact that tho men will havo another battlo
on the links boforo the snow (Hps.
Vardon has many engagements to play
at various clubs and some of these organi
zations nro trying to book Taylor to bo
present at the same time, thus practically
forcing n meeting. They aro pretty suro,
however, to meet In tho open champion
uhlp In October If at no other time.
Tho champion Is very apt to bo engaged
by some American tlrm to design a model
for Its clubs, in tho earao way Vardon Is
engaged. It this happens there Is apt to

CURED
LW.
bo n bloodless war among tho supporters 1
of each man, for there Is n distinct differ-'
ence In the rlubs used by the men. ,
Taylor Is not devoted to tho short shnft J
as Vardon Is. In wooden clubs Taylor Is
nn upholder of the normal shaft and head.
but In Iron clubs he clings to his peculiar
style of mushlo and for clubs laid back
more than suits Vardon. This difference
in Ideas is nccounted for, perhaps, by the
fact that Taylor Is tho foremost player of
pltchcd-up approach shots In tho world,
while Vardon, when possible, prefers a low
running approach.
"In my short approaches- the green I
nm an enthusiastic exponent of the art of
putting cut on tho ball, which is n sort of
backward spin that holds It on the green
within a foot or two where It drops." said
Taylor last night. "My own mashlo Is a
very deep-faced club, which has now many
users Iu Kngland." Taylor says he may
Introduce something else In tho way of
clubs, but It will be along conventional
lines rather than radical.
"Well. I guess It's the man nt the grip
end of tho club that counts," said Taylor,
laughing. "I agree with Vardon on ono
point In regnrd to the grip, nnd that Is
to solidity the grasp by making tho two
hands one." Vardon Interlocks tho little
linger and forefinger, while Taylor over
laps the little finger, but the under thumb
Is down the shaft with both, and the result
achieved Is nbout tho same. F.ach says his
grip Is original.

'Tennis players throughnut tho country,
and this, of course. Includes a large con
tingent in this city, evinced much Interest
In the opening nf tho twentieth nnnual
tournament of tho United States National
I.awn Tennis association, which began on
th ) Casino courts nt Newport Tuesday.
Tho II Ml day of tho tournament waB
productive of much of Interest to lawn
I'ennls players. Contrary to all expectation.-.,
l'nret, winner of last year's all
comers, fell a comparatively easy victim
to his somewhat younger opponent, Col
lins, In a tamo and unlntorestlng match.
The game shown by I'aret wns manifestly
not worthy of him. Ho covered tho court
in his usual excellent way, but nt .ill
times, save lu tho first set, had a ten
dency to hit out nnd Into tho net, and his
plnylng when at tho net was very weak.
At periods ho went quite to pieces.
The west came In for a big sharo of tho
first day's honors, for its representatives,
Ijlttlo and Alexander, defeated the eastern
champions, Allen nnd Ilnckctt, In n highly
sensational mntch and won tho privilege
of subsequently meeting Ward and Davis
tor tho national championship.
Alexander nnd I.lttlo wero dearly out
played In tho first sot of the doubles
match, both driving nn unnecessary num
ber of balls Into the net and out of court
and their playing genernlly was charac
terized by unsteadiness. However, be
ginning with tho second set, their playing
visibly improved and thoy developed un
expected strength. Alexander started In
driving with a speed that proved dis
quieting to his opponents, whllo I.lttlo
volleyed excellently, his strokes bolng hard
and sure. Alexander nlso possessed to a
remnrkablo degreo ability to drlvo balls
nt his opponents In such a manner as to
threaten to Injuro them.

the proper sire, I will reiite a little of
what I know of those "Innocent fnrmors''
of Chambers. That llttlo village has been
for icars the home of the most ruthless
set of market hunters In the state. At ono
tlmo tho writer hnd occasion to visit that
place on business during the month of
August. He was shown through a cold
storage house, called In tlie pnrlanco of
that country n "freezer." There worn
stored nt that time In thu plnco 300 doten
young chickens waiting for the open sea
son to arrive that they could bo safely
shipped to market Tho killing of those
birds commenced In the middle of July
and nt that tlmo tho territory In tho
vicinity was practically denuded of llvo
birds. In addition to those stored small
quantities had been shipped from time to
tlmo under the temptation of high prices.
It Is not the really Innocent farmor who
wants a fow birds for his own tablo that
the sportsmen aro making a serious effort
to punish, but these gamo hogs who clean
up everything as they go along purely for
what money thcro Is lu It. II.
