will battle for tho highest honors In the
realm of pugilism tho former to sustain
tho laurels ho has nlready won and tho
luttor to attempt tho task of wresting away
from his antagonist the championship.
Htrango aa.lt may seem ln the light of
pftRt Interest aroused in the meeting be
tween two heavyweight lighters, thcro Is
little enthusiasm ubroad In sporting clrclcj
over this mutch. While Huhlln Is gener
ally conceded to bo a clever lighter and
allvo with enthusiasm and ambition, it Is
dlfllcult to consider him In the name class
with the great bruiser who now boasts
tho world's championship. If he should
chuueo to win tho forthcoming contest It
would lx) one of thu wonders of the pu
gilistic ugc.
Tho matching of the champion with Kuli
1 1 a looks to bo n port of a last resort taken
by Jeffries' managers ln order thnt the bli!
fellow shall not entirely drop out of the
public mind. Tho champion can go about
tho country whipping any number of sec
ond rate lighters, however, and he will
novor uulto bo considered ns uueouquer
ublo until ho has had another go with
old "Hod Robert" KlUslmmoiiH. Tho popu
larity which tho big Cornlshman has with
tho votaries of prize lighting Is recognized
m tjulto unusual, for a defeated champion
Is, as a rule, In tho tamo position us "yes
terday's paper." Hut It exlbts, neverthe
less, and Kit has nil sorts of followers
whoso faith In his ability to defeat Jeffries
Is as (I r n as the rock of Ulbrultur.
Fltzslmmons, however, Is maintaining an
attitude of absolute Indifference. That ho
will sooner or later meet tho champion
thero Is no doubt, but just now he asserts
ho Is not In tho fighting business and will
not enter tho roped nrena again until after
tho eloso of his theatrical season. Then
ho may do a llttlo "smoking" on his own
account.
Tho authority given by Mayor Julius
Flclschinnnn of Cincinnati for tho pulling
ott of one big light In that city stands uti
ihaken despite thu strong pressure brought
to bear on that executive by many people
of tho Huckeyo metropolis. When the mayor

The great rivalry stirred up between foot
ball players and enthusiasts of Omaha and
Lincoln in tho two tic games already
played this season insures that tho third
gatnii between the all-star High school
teams representing the two cities will be un
Interesting and exciting one. The game
will bo played TuoMlay uftertioon at Vinton
street park and will bo called promptly at 3
o'clock.
Twice within tho last month luvo these
trams lined up against each other and each
tlmo has tho outcomo been a tie. The gamo
played a week ago was unanimously de
clared to bo the llnest exhibition of foot
ball ever seen in this city. Thu men played
with all determination to settle tho dis
puted supremacy anil bent every effort to
ward a victory, but when the gamo ended
honors were even. I'nthuslnsts on either
sldo clamored that tho play bo continued
until one side should score, nnd it was on
tho Held nfter that memornblo struggle that
tho Christmas gamo was decided upon.
Kach team will bo composed of tho samo
players who participated ln the last game,
und, as a result, a contest equally as ex
citing as tho one In iustlon Is fissured.
The only difference Is tho probability that
one sldo will score, for three games without
a score being made by either sldo Is hardly
within tho range of possibility.
Captain Tracy of tho Omaha team Is con
fident of winning tho victory. "Wlillo I
realize." he says, "that Lincoln Is composed
of it pplendld lot of players, I urn sure that
wo will show our superiority In this Christ
inns game. Our men will go Into the game
determined to win nud we will havo our
team work so well ln hand that I untlelpate
played out In tho last game and if it had
progressed a little longer thero Is no doubt
but that wo would havo won. Bvery man
on our team 's a star In his position and
I don't m'o how wo can help but win."
The Omaha team will have all of tho local
favorites, Thomas, Kngelhardt, Ksterbrook,
Marsh, Sccrlst nnd Orllllth, ln tho game and
their friends expect to turn out enmasse
to encourage them on to victory. The
attendance promises to bo a record-breaker
and if the day is fuvorablo Vinton street
park will probably bo called upon to furnish
1 'accommodations for tho biggest crowd of
people that has ever passed through lis
gates. Will Plxley has been chosen to
umpire tho game und his selection gives
tmlvertnl Malefaction. A Lincoln man will
bo chosen for referee. Tho lineup of tho
two teams will be ns follows:

Just at present the "wise ones" are busy
with their pipes and the, result Is a suc
cession of hot-air leagues and dopy circuit
stories In such profusion that the ofllclat
scorer has given up trying to keep track
of them. So far no harm has como from
this mild form of wuter dissipation und
none Is likely to result. You know, not
many business men are putting money be
hind the midwinter dreams of tho pass
fiend, who lets his period of hibernation go
short while he overturns established
leagues and constructs new ones to take
their places, He doesn't pay out any
great amount of "advance" to players and
hp doesn't squander n great deal of his
own coin In tho erection of grandstands or
tho grading of ball fields, lie docs, how
ever, dispose of the destinies of magnate
and player alike with an nlr of cheerful
abandon that Is only equalled by the smil

One of these fellows rolled off the shelf In
tho lacndry down nt Kansas City last week
nml the tlrst thing ho did when he hit the
door was to emit a yelp loud enough to bo
heard In St. Louis about the awf,ul fate of
iviinsas l ay neing Classen with "such ileail

iny one who has followed tho sporting
columns of the average newspaper during
tho Inst few weekii must have concluded

spreading almost ns fast as tho "Cuban

W and lots of ifore property gore, you
know, tho kind the hero squeezes out of n
sponge nnd players und magnates and
leagues all over our happy and prosperous
land, from the mountains to the coast nnd
from the Mexican lino to tho Hrltlsh border.
All btcauso Mr. Han Johnson und his ns
soclntes decided to expand their territory.
taking In some largo cities that were left
without baso ball teams by the contraction
of the National league fiom a twelve to an
Ight-club circuit. Just why this thould
cause a war, unless the magnates have
inuen icavo oi tnetr senses, Is not np
parent on tho surface. Mr. Johnson has
had no opposition lu setting up his clubi
In Baltimore, Washington or Philadelphia.
In ract. Colonel John I. Hogers, who Is the
wholo thing In Phllndolphla, publicly an
nounced that he would welcome Mr. John
son's team to the city, believing that It
would stimulate intorest in the game nnd
Increase attendance. And Mr. Hogers had
much experience In competition In the days
when the Athletics divided local honors
with tho Quakers In Haltlmoro tho forma
tion of the American leaguo club goes on
apace, Mannger McCrow having given
out last week that he had signed a catcher
and all ho needs now Is a bunch of pitchers
somo basemen and a few Holders ami he'll
have a regular team. At Washington our
old friend Jimmy Manning has announced
that "ho has como to stay" and Is taking n
ten-yenr lcaso on the grounds nnd looking
for n good place to board. Not a step to
opposo any of this preliminary work has
been taken by thu National league.
Still, tho noanerKCS-of-the-Plpo shouts
"Wiir." Charlie Comlskey, whoso base
ball judgment few will diaputo und who
had tho cold temerity to Invade Chicago
with nn American league team last year
and make It pay, says thero will be no war,
Other magnates say there will bo no war
and It looks reasonable to any ono who will
stop long enough to think the matter over
that theso men know what they are talking
about.
Nothing would be oulto so suicidal just
now as n baso ball war. Last week Tho
lice said this some, thing, and pointed to
tho experience of buso ball following tho
brotherhood fiasco and tho former attempt
of tho American to drive the Nntlonnl out
of tho business. Thero In no need to urguo
with tho men who went through that nlfulr,
for they know the futility of fighting. Han
Johuson would never have achloved the baso
ball prominence he now holds If ho had not
been able to eonvlncn men with monoy of
his managerial ability, and men with money
to back baso ball teams are not looking for
war Just now; so It may bo set down ns a
fairly safe guess that Han Johnson Isn't
looking for that kind of trouble, either, He
enn seo his finish In tho baso ball world ton
plainly, If ho starts anything. He's a hust
ler, nnd ho will succeed with his new
league. And Tho Meo ventures tho asser
tion that ho will bo hi touch with tho Na
tional before tho umpire tosses the llrst
ball to tho pitcher next April.
Neither nro tho men who havo largo sums
of money sometimes It Is said millions In
vested lu baso ball in tho National leaguu
devoid of business ncumon. While they
havo all tho better of the situation In case
a "war" should break out, they would stand
to loso n lot of money, nnd thcro la no rea
son to think that thoy aro going to delib
erately give themselves tho worst of It If
they cnu avoid It. To bo sure, they wcro
deeply Interested In the towns tho American
has taken over. They had assumed fran
chises and obligations on which they had
already paid largo sums to the owners of
tho moribund teams; they hold leases on
grounds nnd oro otherwise pecuniarily In
terested. Thero Is no question but they
would have been glad to talk business to
Mr. Johnson on theso lines. Hut slnco Mr.
Johnson and his associates elected to pro
ceed Independently It would seem merely
business policy for tho National leaguu to
proceed quietly to secure what Is possible,
from tho wreck and not waste good money
by sending It nfter bad unless absolutely
compelled so to do by somo ovort net on
the part of tho American league. In this
respect the prospect for "war" Bcems very
remote.
Another noticeable featuro of the situa
tion Is that tho most virulent ndvocutes of
"war" aro thoso located In towns thut nro
In no wise affected by the present condition
or which nro not at all concerned In thu
circuits aro formed. Toledo, for exnmplo,
Is a very hotbed of "war." and tho dopo
makers down there are slaying whole heca
tombs of baso ball magnutcs und players.
Orand Hnplds, too, Is going In for it. and
from this pair of baso ball graveyards dally
arise and stolk forth ghostly forms of
evanescent leanues which vanish oven ns
ono tries to descry their shapes, and nfter
them como still others.
President Keith and Manager llourke fell
onrtor tbn baleful vanor of llin nlnn last
J week, and for a few moments shrieked for
peace nt any price. ecn the bobtalled six
club ilrcuit Huck's heart has since set
tled down from where It hud lodged under
his epiglottis, and Hill Is smoking cigars
again, und loth are willing to stand by
tho expansion theory. Iney arc In no
danger, linn Johnson Isn't going to put u
rival club Into Omaha, and he'll allow us
enough towns out of tho old circuit to get
nlong with tomehow, especially as he bus
at least ono extra lu his own nnd Is halt
ing between Indianapolis and Uuffulo. We
aro sure of National league support, nnd
to an outsider It looks ns though that would
be preferable.
This suggests that the Western league
circuit commlttco still has Its work cut out.
Ono of Inst year's towns must be dropped,
ihat means that Sioux City. St. Joseph or
Pueblo will go. H.ich of these says It s to
bo one of tho others, sure. Well, then, ir
Indlutiapolis Is left out by the American,
which Is not at all Improbable, there Is
tho strong possibility of Its coming to the
