PUGILISM IS HARD PRESSED
Has Been Placed Under tho Ban in Nearly
All the Large Cities.
DUBIOUS OUTLOOK AT CINCINNATI
Present liiillrnt Ion Arc (lint (he
.IrfTrles-ltlllillli Cllllliiilountlli
tin Will l llf Pulled (iff
.Mil) or Stands Pill.
Tho opening of (lie new century has
been far from auspicious from thu stand
point of tho pugilistic gladiators. Unable
to practice tho nrt of sclf-defonsb and es
topped from appearing In ring contests
In any of the big cities of tho land, tin'
pathway of the fighter Ih by no means rose-
trewn. There In little of consolation 10
bo gleaned from tho seeming unanimity
with which tho larger cities nro shutting
down on tho bcxlng game and the outlook
Is by no means bright.
It Ik a virtual certainty that Cincinnati
1b not going to pan out us tho Mecca In
tho wilderness of pugilistic distress. From
present Indications It Is an odds-on bet
that tho championship fight between Jcffrlej
and Hiihlln, scheduled to take place In that
city February 15, will not materialize.
Such opposition as has been stirred up
against this match Is almost unprecedented
In the annals of ring history.
Politicians. Jurists and ministers arc
working hand-ln-hnnd'to prevent the match
being held, and now n Cincinnati labor union
has gone on record as opposed to the
mutch. A supremo court Judge stands In
readiness to Instruct tho return of an In
dictment against any one who shall bo n
party to the fight, even tho spectators com
ing under tho contemplated ban.
Notwithstanding this situation of affairs,
however, Mnyor Flclschmann Is standing
pat and asserts that a permit will bo Is
sued In nccordancu with his original prom
ise, which will carry with It municipal
protection for all who attend or partlclpato
In tho affair. How far the Cincinnati
mayor's authority extends In this direction
will doubtless bo tented In caso nil at
tempt Is mado to hold tho light.
W. A. Ilrady, who has been solcctcd as
tho manager of tho Jcffrlcs-Huhlln fight,
seceks to Justify tho go In a somewhat ex
tended interview, saying In part:
"I sen no reason why tho fight should
not tako place. It Is not to bo n prize
fight, as generally undorstood by tho un
initiated, hut ii sclcntlllc boxing contest
between two big, husky men, who will bo
trained down to tho hour, nnd In no sense
a brutal affair. If It should bo I would
bo the first one to stop it nt tho ringside.
"1 am as much opposed to boys nnd un
trained men lighting as any one nnd havo
never promoted n fight of that kind. Tho
ministers mean well, hut they do not under
stand It. I am willing to discuss thn mat
ter with nny representative of tho ministry
of Cincinnati, nnd If I cannot convince 1111
unprejudiced committee that I am right I
am willing to call tho fight off so far ns
I am concerned. Tho records show thnt
tho fatalities and Injuries attending foot
ball games nro CO to 1 as against prlzo
lighting, yet your best people will take
their wlven and daughters to sco u game
between college teams.
"I nm a member of St. Loo's Homnn
Catholic church of New York, nnd my
wife Is n devout worshiper nnd worker In
tho sumo church, whllo my daughter Is
being educated In n convent, unit I would
not promote any exhibition that was Im
moral or degrading. Tho contest will bring
a much better element to your city than
you anticipate, und will leavo at least n
half mlllm of dollars with your people.
. "As to tho threatened boycott by union
lnbor, I can only say that that Is some
thing with which I have nothing to do.
I' nm not responsible for something that
occurred somo years ago, and do not think
any real friend of organized labor will
let that interfere with his patronnge. If 1
had built the hull I might properly be held
responsible."
It begins to look us though the only avail
able place, for holding tho next big cham
pionship event Is nt Cnrsnn City, where
Kltzslmmons and Corbett did battle In 1807.
Dan Htunrt, who managed thnt fight, Is out
with a proposition to hold a tournament In
Carson City nnd hopes to havo Jeffries and
FltzslmmonH as tho stnr performers.
An open air arena, nil necessary ac
cessories for tho pulling off of a light nnd
laws that permit of any number of rounds
make Carson City a doslrnblo place for eon
tests, desplto tho difficulties encountered In
reaching such a remote fighting ground.

lighters and public will havo conlldonco In

Tho beginning of the end seems to hnvo
been reached In tho raso of Oscar Ourdner,
whoso pugilistic stur has been on tho wnno
for sonin time. Last Monday night ha was

It took tho Quaker flfteon rounds to turn

The fourth of tho Inter-clty team shoots
between Kansas City and Omaha will bo
held In the city on tho banks of the Kuw
no5it Friday and Saturday. Three times al
ready have twenty men cracked away at n
thousand birds loosed from the traps- nnd

iscntlng Omaha come off victorious, having
succeeded In getting tho higher score.
It was only by reason of a combination of
unfortunate circumstances thnt the third

went against tho Omnha team. Ill luck In
drawing the worst kind of tdrds nnd the
Inmcutuhtc failure of one mnn on tho tcstn
to shoot nnywhero near his average mark
gave tho shoot to tho Kansas Cltynns by
a score of '155 to IM.
Confident as can be, however, tho Omaha
shooters will go down to Kansas City
Wednesday night, prepared to retrieve the
roverso met with In tho Thanksgiving shoot
nnd convince their friends In Missouri thnt
Omaha Is entitled lo the championship when
It comes to shooting live birds.
Thursday the Kansas City gun club will
hold n sweepstakes sflont, In which several
of tho Omaha shooters expect to participate,
more for tho purpose of getting themselves
In form for tho team shoot on tho suc
ceeding days than with the expectation of
carrying off tho prlzo money. Tho contest
will ho tho same as preceding ones. Kuch
tenm will consist of ten men nnd the shoot
ing will alternate, inch man shooting at
fifty birds.
"Wo ought to win this fourth contest by
nt least fifteen birds." said Ooodlcy V.
llruckcr In discussing the mutch yesterday.
"Omaha has a team composed of cracker
Jack shooters and this, too. must bo said of
thu Kansas City team. However, our team
hns given un exnmplo of superiority by
winning tun of tho threo shoots .already
held nnd, If for no other renson, this Is suffi
cient to warrant tho prediction thnt the
next match will be won qulto handily. There
Is no question but thnt wo would have won
the last match hold hero If It hadn't boon
for a good deal of 111 luck suffered by our
tenm.
"In tho event that no unforeseen mtBhap

Ono of the most notable .bowling con
tests ever held In Omuhn was that be
tween tho Clarksons nnd Oniahas Monday
night. Iioth tennis nrc members of the
city bowling league nnd each Is from the
same alley. There has long been n decided
rlvnlry between the members nnd the ques
tion of supretnncy has nil the season been
In dispute.
Monday night's match offered a splendid
opportunity for settling the much-mooted
iiuistton, for In the season's lenguo race
It happened that theso two teams were tied
for first place. It was decided, under these
circumstances, that the team winning Mon
day night's contest should bo hailed as tho
champion of the city league, until such
time as It may be deposed by somo other
ambitious organization, nnd further, the
defeated tenm wns lo recognize and admit
the other's supremacy.
Tho match attracted bucIi n crowd ns
never boforo turned out to witness a bowl
ing contest In this city. Tho sides of
Clark's alleys, where tho match wns held,
wcro filled with Interested spectators, In
cluding scdnto Judges, gravo professional
men nnd prosperous business men, nil of
whom, by their presence, signified their
endorsement of tho popular game of bowl
ing. Many women wcro among the spec
tators and theso evinced qulto ns much In
terest ns did their escorts. Any doubt
thnt might have existed rolntlvo to tho
popularity of bowling In this city wns cer
tainly dispelled by tho enthusiasm mani
fested by players nnd lookcra-ou during
tho progress of this contest.
It became early apparent that If the
mombcrs of the teams maintained tho gnlt
at which they were starting out the scores
would surpass nny previous records In
Omaha nllcys nnd, sure enough, tho match
proved 11 real record-breakor. As In all of
tho team contests, tenpins was tho gnmo
omployed, nnd when tho threo games had
been finished the Clarksons had run up a
scoro that would havo been a credit to any
team In the country. Their team scoro was
2,774, ngalnst tho team scoro of tho Omnhan
of 2,327.
Tho performance of tho players wns really
remarkable. Successlvo Btrikes and the
toppling over of nil ten of tho pins nt one
fell throw indicated tho scientific ability
of tho members of both teams. It was n
nip nnd tuck raco all tho way through,
until tho Intter part of tho third game.
Then tho Clnrksons forged ahead and se
cured a lead which their opponents found
themselves unnblo to overcome. Tho mem
bers of tho two teams wcro ns follows:
Clarksons Dcnman, Ilrunko, Lancaster,
F. Conrad, Clarkson.
Omohas Flanagan, C. Conrad, Head,
Kmery, Zarp.
Tho noxt match game botweon those two
tenms will bo held Mnrch IS at Clark's
alleys, and It will bo for both of them the
closing game of tho season,
Tho schedule of games for the coming
week in the city championship race Is as
follows: Monday night, Omnhas against
St. Charles, at Clark's alleys; Tuesday
night, (late City against Clarksons, at (late
City nllcys; Wednesday night, Peerless
Cabinet against Sterlings, at Lcntz & Wil
liams' alleys; Thursday night. Nationals
against Krug Parks, at Hoyden's alloys.
"Tenpins continues to be the fnvorlto
game with Omaha bowlers, ns It Is tho
country over, unless perchance St. Louis, tho
homo of tho gamo of cocked hat, bo an ex
ception," snld It. W. Clark, "riccauso of tho
general popularity of this gnmo regulation
nlleys aro constructed with tho Idea para
mount ot furnishing the best posslblltles
lu tenpins. In tho aggregate thcro arc few
games with bowls and pins other thnn ten
pins la any of tho Omaha nlloya, tho num
ber of all other games combined being smnll
In comparison. Next to tenpins comes nine
pins In point of popularity.
"Howlers llkn to use tho big balls, and
when a. man Is hardened so thnt ho can
bowl thorn without becoming sore their use
furnishes much better exercise. Ileglnncrs,
however, make a great mlstako In ttttompt
Ing to bowl with tho big bowls for long nt
n time. Until n man gets In condition where
bo can Btnnd thn oxerclso It Is better to bo
careful nnd not piny too long at a time.
Little by little one's muscles nrc hardened
and he gots Into condition where ho can
bowl for hours at a tlmo without feeling
any bad effects. On tho contrary, the
beneficial results that como from the
excVclso cannot bo overestimated, Tho
growth of tho game In Omaha proves be
yond question how generally nrcepted Is
tho truth of tho advantages and benefits
of bowling."
Mr. Clurk las', week succeeded In smash
ing all previous records made at his alleys
In tenpins. Ho bowlrjl a beautiful gamo
and ran up 1 scoro of 230 points. Other
high scores nt tenpins among the Omahn
players aro as follows:

removal to Now York seems unavoidable.
Tho Incorporation of tho lcaguo uudor Now
York stato laws will necessitate the location
ot the headquarters In New York. This
cannot bo accomplished without a change
in tho constitution. Incorporation else
where than In New York stnto Is not pos
sible owing to tho peouliar character nf the
organization, Tho advantage of incorpora
tion is tho ability to contrnct debt and
lifting tbo liability of such debt from the
ncmbers In general. The change In the j

The veteran offlclnts of the league are
uuth conrerncd oer the loss of tho mem
bership In the crganttatlon nnd the pre
Ictlon Is tnnda that some plain truths will
o spoken nt the annual convention nt
hllndelphla next month. Conway W. Sams
.f Ilalttmore snys he will not stand for re
fection. While he does not favor nny man
n particular for tho otllce. he serins to be
t tbo opinion that Ilobort Kingsbury nf
.s'ew Hampshire, tho present first vice presl
iciit, Is tho most likely candidate for the
lace. The membership has dropped steadily
ivrr since the cry was made agulust racing,
md many people, aro of the opinion that
ho veteran membeis made a woful blunder
.vhcu they decided to cut nwny from oil j
onnectloii with the sport. Today the total
aiembershlp Is less than 2(3.000. The high
water mark wns over 100,000.
The Detroit Kreo Press announces that
It. S. Karlo of that city will bo "In the
raco for tho presidency to the very ond, and
ho will be backed up by n solid western
vote. With tho majority of the southern
itntes also on his side, L'nrlc will have al
most as many votes ns tho candidate that
gets tho New York and Now England dele
gations. Hut tho flaht tuny test with the
Pennsylvania delegates. It is known that !
Unrlo Is favored by many In the Keystone
stale and has many followers In Pittsburg
and Philadelphia, who will aid htm ma
'.urlally when It comes to balloting. One
thing Is certain and that Is If tho New York
delegates realize at tho annual meeting that
their man Hulling has Utile chnnco to
secure tho presidency, It Is said they will
throw their strength to Iinrle. with u hope
of licndlns off Kingsbury, in which caso it
is safo to (ay that Karlo would bo elected.
Again, Holding mny withdraw his namo at
tho meeting. All along he hns modestly
refrained to declnro himself a candidate,
alleging lack of time ns thu cause. Yet he
has not notified his friends to quit their
offorts lu his bchntf. This neglect on Mr.
Holding's part does not denote double-dealing
or any Intent nt unfnlrneBS. It merely
shows that Mr. Ileldlng Is not n candidate,
of bin own volition nnd will not accept the
presidential nomination unless ho finds ll
Is tho will of the New York stato division
that ho do so. This In tho llrst explana
tion of Mr. Heldln's attitude that has been
made."
A good story of other days In cycling la
told by "Happy Days" Pitman, who won tho
first blcyclo raco In tho country nnd has
been over since perennially fresh. "Pit," as
his Intimates call him, was referee at a raco
meet near tho city, nnd during u contest
betweon professionals ho heard a clinking
nolBO every tlmo the string of men passed
him. "Pit" did not lellcve in standing at
the tape with tho other officials and takjng
their word for what there was doing. So
ho moved about to different parts of the
track and in tho back stretch listened to
the stranco sound. Ho mado up his mind
that ono of tho wheels of the racers was so
much out of order that thuro was likely
to be a breakdown nt any time. He callc
out ns tho men went past: "Hey boys!
whoso wheel Is moklng that nolso?" Ono
man In tho string of riders nnswercd him.
Ho said: "Go to thuudor!"
Tho rcferco marked his man and waited
till the raco wns ended. Then ho Inter
viewed tbo Impudent one. What ho learned
was that tho boy lived up tho state at a
place whoro It tool: Just ?2 lo get lo on
tho railroad. He had two sliver dollars, and
that wns all ho did have. Ho was so fearful
of loslim the two discs of silver that ho
would not leave them In tho training quart
ers, but had put them together In the heel
of his racing shoo. As ho rode nbout the
truck tho silver dollars clinked together
nnd mudo tho nolso that tho referee had
heard. Ho was forgiven for being saucy to
tho rcferco when tho facta came out. If
all tbo professional blcyclo racers nt tho
prchont time should put what they had left
for car fare In their riding shoes there
would be a lot of clinking noises on the
track.
Those who see tho motorg go around and
nround at a raco meet hnvo llttlo idea of
tho work entailed upon tho caretakers of
tho Infernal machines. Constnnt wntch
fulnesB nlono prcventB trouble. Day by
day tho motor men study their mounta and
.vet nt tbo closo of n season thoy know but
llltlo moro of Its eccentricities thnn when
they started. Something new and strange
Is nlwaj-B developing. Rvcn tho makern
find themselves stumped when It comes to
repairing a motor after It hns been through
a hard campaign. Fortunate Is tho tenm
which has connected with It a practical
mechnnlc, for then it Is posslhlo to repair
tho motors without tho grent exponse
brought on by sending the machine to a
factory. It has been tho enso this scaBon
that a motor has been shipped away to the
factory nt an expenso of J25 to $B0 when
all that was necessary was tho tightening
of a Binall bolt, tho finding of which
troubled tho motor moii. Just nt present
tho tires glvo tho most troublo and new
tires havo constantly to bo fitted. An ex
ploded tire nnd the fall thnt follows often
causes a week of work to find whero
tho mtinhlno Is wrong, Tho wiring Rocb
wrong and tho current is groundod In tho
frame. Tho batteries may bo woak with
out the riders knowing It, tho gnsollno may
bo of tho wrong kind, tho Igniter may ho
out of order or a thousand and ono things
may be wrong.
Tho cushlon-frnmo blcyclo Is to havo a
boom this year. Tho American Dlcyclo
company, otherwise known ns "tho trust,"
hns ofllclallly adopted It. This 1b significant
of tho present tendency In blcyclo riding
caso nnd pleasure. Somo think that tho
Increasing popularity of tho cushion framo
la a sign of degeneracy In cyclo riding.
Thoso of this opinion nro mostly athletes,
rnolng men or scorchers, who do not
hellevu In plcnsuro except through violent
exorcise. Tho chief argument against any
thing ot this kind lmn always bean thnt
It Involved "lost motion." Tho contention
has been that a rider whon ho puts pres
sure on a pedal should have a solid backing
und no "give" In tho sent, or elso part of
tho leg power put forth would bo taken up
In tho "give," or spring of bin scat. It was
as familiar an argument and ns reasona
ble ns that nt a man having a stone wall nt
his back Instead ot a spring-board or u
feather bed when ho wanted to push with
his arms and legs to tho greatest possible
ndvantngo. Tho belief In this nrgumcnt
has nlways bcon so strong thnt "spring
seat posts" and other dovlccs of tho kind
havo prospored llttlo. Tho fnlth In tho
validity ot tho theory led to a demand for
"rigidity" In frames and for hnrd saddles
without springs. For years "rigidity" was
a watchword. Tho now movement, there
fore, marks a change that Is tu overy way
notable.
