SPORTS OF A BAY.
WITH THE BOWLERS.
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.
Mike Coffey has the distinction of captur
ing the booby prlxe of the season.
All the top teams have raised their
percentage, but the weaker teams are giv
ing them a harder run each match as they
go along. All interest Is now centered on
next Thursday night's gime between the
Fa 1 sUITs and Life Malls, whlrh Captain
Walens says will decide who shall be the
pennant winners for HmB-7.

BIU 'INS PAST ON TUB BV8ES
Some HeavyWelght Ball Flayers
Rapid Arosnd Clrenlt.
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."

Repression.
TVEIt. Russia, Dec. 22 Count Alexis
Tgnatleff, a councillor of the empire and
former governor general of Kiev, Volhynla
and Podolla, was assassinated today In tha
refreshment room of the nobles' nssemblv
hall. The man who killed him endeavored
to commit suicide, but was overpowered
nnd arrested. His Identity has not been
established.
Count Ignatleff was sitting with other
members of the xemstvo In the refresh
ment room. The semstvo meets In the
nobles' assembly hall. Suddenly a young
man who had been sitting apart arose nnd
on approaching the court fired six shots
from a revolver at him. AH the shots took
effect, one piercing his heart, and the count
died almost Instantly. The murderer fled
to an adjoining room, where he turned his
revolver, two chambers of which ha had
reloaded, toward his own brenst. One shot
missed and the other pierced his shoulder.
He was seised and as his pursuers laid
hold of him he shouted: "I did what I
came here to do."
A card of admission to the icmetvo bear
ing the name of Kullkoff was found In
the assassin's pocket. Ills appearance Is
that of a workingman.
Reformer Tnrns Reactionary.
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. He waa ch'efly
distinguished for his devotion to the old
autocratic ideal and for his avarice. This
latter quality showed Itself when he moved
Into a small rented flat In order that he
might rent to others the half dozen splen
did establishments which he owned in St.
Petersburg.
