On account of the holidays no gnmrs were scheduled last week in the Omaha league, the only math being a postponed series between the Onimods and Hamlltons. With the big city tournament but one week away, the boys are putting In all their snare time Practicing for that event snd some high games have been rolled. Hilly Johnson put up a new recora ror tne association alleys with 2M and several games have been run shove two. Johnson will probably take the grand prlxe, a case of Peerless, for the month, and Is tlt with t J. Francisco for the case or Htors Blue Ribbon for the best league series for lierember, both, hsvlng The Stori Blue Ribbons were to have rolled a match with Sioux City's crai-k team today, but the Boo hove were unnble to keen the date and the games will proh. ably be pulled off the second week In Janu ary. Teddle Neale still leads the bllllardlsts in the association handicap tournament with four wins and no losses. It Is likely that but few of the remaining games will be played until after the holidays. The bowling on the Metropolitan alleys Inst week waa very much mixed, some good scores were rolled and very poor ones were made also. IjivlRne hns now Jumped Into first place on Individual averages, with thirty-nine games plnved and an average of 1X4 7-. although Merger has 1H4 average for thirty games, but Is ten pins shy.

Tim Murnane enters into an Interesting discussion of base runners ,who have come and gone and some still here, to show that big men have been among the best. He points out some tine examples of this fine art in the game and yet omits all men tion of the one man, who, If not the great est of all base runners, shared the honor only with Mike Kelly. This man Is the Inimitable Walter A. (Arlie) Latham. "Who can account for the fact that large and often heavy ball players make the best base runners? John M. Ward was rather a small-tilzed man and one o( the great base runners of his day. but was never the attruction on the baaes that was "Mike" Kelly, who stood near six feet in height and weighed, when In condition, over 1H0 pounds," says Tim Murane. "Ed Williamson was another larga man who could run the bases In grand style, and the chances are that the giant "Bill" Lange never had a superior in base running. "Harry Stovey, a six-footer and built from the ground up, wan a remarkable base runner, and, like Ke? and Lange, a great drawing card. Hugh Duffy, a smull sUed player, was a remarkable base runner, matching even "Mike" Kelly. Harry Stovey, Bill Lungs and John M. Ward In taking long chances at the right time, and win ning out by unlooked-for moves. While Ward was wiry, Duffy was like a rubber ball and went from the mark like a flash of a gun. "The larger men were wonderful at the getaway, being remarkably clever in calling the turn and making their distance by speed over the ground and a variety of slides not to the liking of the basemen who were down to handle the ball. The most brilliant base runner today In the American lougue Is labell. the giant second baseman of the champion White Box. "Miller Huggins, the Cincinnati light weight, is one of the best base runners In the major leagues, but the heavyweights, Chance and Wagner, carried off the honors this season, with McOee and Devlin, an other pair of big men, close up. "It's doubly as hard for Waaner. Chanea and isbell to get an opening to steal a base as it is for the player without a reputation for this kind of work, for the catchers will pay special attention to these men, as It means extra glory every time they nail one of the swell fliers. Wagner, Ch.-.nce and Devlin all passed the fifty mark last season in stolen bases. Chance and Wagner scoring 108 runs each, the only players to pass the century mark. i-ernaps me Desi evidence that a player is going back la his falling off In base run ning. As an example, Beaumont of Pitta burg, once a line base runner scored hut one stolen base last season." COLIMBIA Wlg CHESS MATCH Harvard la Second, Yalo Third and Prlaeetoa Posnh.

General Count Alexis Pnvotlch Ignntleff, ' the victim, had been an eager advocate of reform when the Iliissian parliament was forming. It was on his report of conditions In south Russia, where he had been despatched nfter Red Sunday by the cxar, that was one of the principal causes which Induced the emperor to proclaim the first parliament. Previous to the adoption of the parliamentary law Ignatleff advo cated broad powers for the parliament. I-Ater, however, he seems to have changed his opinions, for following the succeas of repreHFlve measures after the Moscow re volt, he became an active coadjutor of General Trepoff In supporting the harsh yc 'cles of Minister of the Interior Durnovo. He also took part In the Intrigue which encompassed the downfall of Count Wltte. It was said that the plot contemplated the proclamation of Ignatleff as premier, the turning of the guard regiments against Parliament and the application of the Iron rule which Ignatleff, Trepoff and their as sociates considered necessary In Russia. Sketch of Count's Career. The late count was norn In 1842, and as a youth entered a Hussar regiment. He was one of two sons of the famous first Count Ignatleff, who from a soldier In the ranks rose to be president of the committee of ministers, governor general of St. Peters burg and founder of one of the richest families In Ruhsis. In IMS the younger Ignatleff became com mander of the regiment of Chevalier guards, the most coveted post In the army, and In 1W1 was made chief of staff of the guard corps. Four years later he was made governor general of Irkutsk and In l&so governor general of Kiev, which place he held until 1SS7. The elder brother of Count Alexis, Count Nicholas, was a noted diplomat and former minister of the Interior.
