Rides of from U to U miles within the
day' and the- wlgM,-says-Colonel Dodge,
have been made repeatedly by ordinary
United States troop horses, when not spe
cially prepared for the work, and over very
bad ground, ,SJid, as a rule, the animals
have not been injured by the test.
Thirty-six years ago Colonel Mackenzie
rode his command Into Mexico after Lpan
and Kickapoo Indians, defeated them In a
sharp fight, and returned gcrps (he border,
making 146 rnllea ,and winning a battle, all
within twenty-eight hours. Ths following
year Colonel Mackenzie rode into Mexico
again, this time in pursuit, of a band of
horse thieves and covered eighty-five miles
in fifteen-hours. , In Averaging these rides
of regiments -or. troops,, the fact .. must not
be loat slsbt of that a larga body of horse
men,' carrying equipments and in column
formation' cannot begin to get over the
round so rapidly, as a-group of three or
four riders without luggage or any sort.
Four men of -Conjpany H, First cavalry,
carried dlapatches from Fort Harney to
Fort Warner la ..Their time waa eigh
teen and a half hours, and the distance
was IS) miles, twenty of. it through deep
sand. But the horses were in such good
condition, thaUoiter anAcda-s ..rest, the
troopers started back and made the return
trip at the rata of sixty miles a day.
Lieutenant Wood, - will a troop of the
rams regiment, did seventy miles In twelve
hours m 187S. and Captain Dodge, that same
year, rode his troop eighty mllea in sixteen
hours. . .
Captain Fechet, In command of Troops F
and O of the Eighth cavalry, left Fort
Yates on a December midnight In 18W and
feached Bitting Bull s camp. forty-fvs miles
Kway, at I'M o'clock In the morning. Then
the troopers dispersed the Indians in a
skirmish, rescued ths survivors of the band
which had killed Sitting .Hull, scouted the
t ountry a dlatonoe of tea miles beyond, and
then rode to. camp at Oak, creek, povering,

Oeneral Ouy V. Henry, rode lug miles In
33 hours with -four rreopa In 1880. The
actual riding time was twenty-two hours.
There were betwweft 800 and 400 men In that
column, and with the exception of one horse
that fall dead-at ths .end of the Journey
troopers and animals wars Jit to take the
return ride after a day's rest.
There are numerous cases on record of
entire regiments of cavalry making long
rontlnuous marches at the . rats, of sixty
miles a day. Colonel Henry, so expert on
distance riding, used to say that after a
month's hardening of men and horaea by
daily rides of .from, f if teea, to twenty miles
a 4ay, a cavalry command oouid easily
cover from tflfty to sixty miles a day for
n Indefinite paciodr and. could, In an emer
cency, do tut miles without, hardship. -
For ths purpose of seasoning the men and
I heir mounts, Oeneral Mllea once organised
a system of pursuits on the plains. A raid
ing party- V-oalled, consisting of about
twenty, tnenv wa. sent out from a fort or
camp,' and eighteen' hours later an equal
number of troopera, were, sent out to catch
them. '. . ) !'.. i , :
Ob of the rules' waa that the fugitives
should rest six hours after riding eighteen
and to halt again for, twelve hours, after
riding twelve. Pursuers could ride "go
aa yu please," but were ordered not to in.
Jurs their horses by toe hard a pace. This
was.- in ons sense, only. play. . That Is,
theref waa no spur of compulsion to save
life tr turn Its tide of a battle. Neverthe
less, 4hs results were c rsdUable to men snd
anlrcals. One of these pursuits organ on

to Knngfisher creek, where we halted for
one hour unsaddled, got something to eat,
let the horses roll and grase, then groomed
their backs and legs, saddied and atarted
again at 7 p. m.
"We walked for thirty mlnutea. trotted
fifty minutes and then dismounted and
rested ten minutes; mounted and went at
the trot for fifty minutes, dismounted, and
walked ten mlnutea. This rotation of fifty
minute trotting periods and ten-minute
rests waa kept up until midnight, whan
there was a twenty-minute halt, followed
by the same rotation until 4:50 a. m., when
there was a halt for one hour's sleep. An
other grooming of legs and backs followed
the sleep and then the grind was resumed."
The 150-Mlle Ride Completed.
And so It went, until after thirty-one
hours, all told, the troopers reached Ar
kansas City, UK) miles from camp. What
happened to the dlahonest deserter does
not appear in the record.
"At that time," continued Captain Wood,
"our mounts were purchased In Missouri
and Kansas. The horse I rods waa 12 years
old; the others were a little younger. All
the horses except one were In good condi
tion on our return. That one had been
made unserviceable by bad riding. The
trooper who had him. waa not a very good
horseman and rode too heavily forward. 1
tried to correct him, but It is impossible
to teach -all the niceties of horsemanship
on a trip like that it waa the hardest
ride I ever had."
Some of Jhe famous, rides by westerners
not In the army occurred in Ban Fran
cisco, where N. H. Mowryy wtth relays of
many horses. Old aw mues in igurieen
hours on a race track in 1808. Ten years
before that J. Powers made 150 miles In
six hours and forty-three minutes, and
there In a tradition that a rider named
Anderson covered l.SOi mllea in ninety
hours.
Pony Ks press Riders.
Among the pony express riders, F; X.
Aubrey undoubtedly held the record. On a
wager of $1,000 he undertook to ride from
Sante Fe to Independence, Missouri, a dis
tance of 800 miles. Inside of six days. He
did It In five days and nineteen hours. He
had a dozen fresh horses waiting for him
at different points along the line, and cov-
tred most of the distance at a gallop.
Jim Moore rode a mall route from Mid
way station to Juleaburg, a distance of
140 miles. It was his regular custom to
make the round trip of 280 miles once a
week. On one occasion the other rldsr on
that route waa HI. and to keep th sche
dule unimpaired, Moore not only did dou
ble duty, but In less than half the time
he UBiially took for his week's work. Ho
rode 'the 280 miles in twenty-two hours.
President Lincoln's first Inaugural mes
sage was carried from St. Josph, Mo., to
Sacramento, Cal., a distance of 1,980 miles.
In seven days and seventeen hours. The
news of the firing on Fort Sumter waa
carrlod from St. Joseph to Denver, about
675 miles, In sixty-nine hours, the riders
riding night and day, stopping only to
change ponies, the time allowance for
which diversion waa about two mlnutea
That was in the daya of the old "pony
express," some of the riders of which
made records that still stand. Jack
Keetly, for Instance, has a record of S40
miles, without rest or sleep. In thirty-one
hours and Jim Moor has s record of 3S9
miles in fourteen hours snd forty-six sec
onds. Bill James had a bo-mlls route and
made the round trip. 1 miles, in twelve
hours, and seldom came In more than a
few seconds oft scheduls time. The sche
dule of the old "pony express" called for
something liks 260 mlle every twenty hours
and the riders usually mads it.

GOSSIP OF THE STOVE LEAGUE
Tom McVittie Telia How Jack Has
kell Met King-.
TWO YEARS PRIOR LATTER'S KICK
Jark Patterson Pats One Over to
Shnw Pop Wallace Is the
Goods with Manager
t hence.
" 'What's the name, please?"
"Such was the' question Jack Hnskell,
chief of the umpires of the Weatern league
staff, put to King when he first began to
show signs of being s real ball player."
said Tom NfcVlttle, former owner of the
Omaha team.
"The thing wss quit comical and shows
thst Haskell not only can size up the
qualities of a hall player, but. more than
that. It shows that King was beginning to
feel at home. For two seasons he had
cavorted for the Omaha team, playing his
part aa he was told and as best he could,
but showing none of thst pugnsclty which
characterizes a real ball player. One day
Haskell called a strike on Welch at a
critical stage of the game and King was
on his feet in a minute. Rushing to Has
kell, hs protested agalnat the decision. Has
kell, aa usual, was not pleased, but stood
with folded arms arms and surveyed littlo
King from top to bottom.
"What's the name, please?" he asked
with disdain. "This Is the first time I
ever saw you In thla league."
"King may not b as boisterous as some
of th players, but give me seven Kings
snd I will promise to get you more runs
than any tesm In the league would be
able to pick up," said Frank Moriarty, the
South Omaha banker, who had strolled In
and had heard MoVlttle's anecdote of the
little fellow's firat sign of pugnacity. "He
Is a run-getter of the first quality, wtth
hit noodle always with him, and I don't
know a man In the league more ready to
grasp an opportunity.
"He is a heady player In the field, too,
and I have often noticed when a stesdy
pitoher like Banders with control was at
work King could alze up Just about where
the ball would be hit, and with a regular
Keeler Instinct was In the right place. He
Is not aa brilliant a player as Graham, but
I think he will make a splendid fielder,
and his hitting and base Tunning will be a
valuable asset to the team this year."
It was a peculiar coincident that King
was under discussion the same night
around Brother Dave's Blowing fire of
corncobs down at Pa's Smoke house, and
the composite opinion was that King was
the goods.
"I like his judgment in hitting." said Ike
Hall, aa he ordered Brother Dave to bring
him some "Heldslck." "I have often
watched that boy at bat and I can tell just
about w-hat he Is going to do by watching
the fielders. If the infield comes In close
he is going to hit the ball hard right on
the nose, and if the Infield slays out he
will try to bunt. Other plsyers may think
they try to do that, but they only think
they do."
"You may think that Stove league gossip
about Dad Wallace and Frank Chance was
hot air, but I know It was not," said Jack
Patteraon at the Stove league gathering
Wednesday night. "I know what Chance
thinks of Pop. I was over to Chicago with
Colonel Wallace and we figured on going
on a day when Pfelster was to pitch. When
we reached, the West Side, park we saw t,he
nams of Overall posted. Pop volunteered
to find Chance to see what he could do.
He went to the Cubs' bench and. calling
Chanc to on side, said, "Frank, 1
brought aom Omaha fellows over today
on purpose to see Pfelster pitch.
"Well, then, Pfelster will pitch," whs
Chance's reply sa he ordered the big south
paw to warm up.

each lost two. After this Nebraska will
still have to meet tioth Drake and Ames
on their home floors, but If the Cornhuskers
have proved superior to each of those
fives before It goes into IoWa for the final
games It ought to have no trouble in win
ning. the supporters or the torniuisker rive,
however, expect no such asv games with
Drake as was the case with Ames last
week. Drake Is well coached and has had
the advantage of training tvllh the strong
Young Men's Christlsn association team of
Des Moines. Two of their forwards are
said to be among the best basket Rhooters
In Iowa, and are expected to work the
Nebraska guards at a fast uace throughout
the halves of both games,
tvenraaaa naa oeen practicing consistently
this week and Dr. Clapp thinks his pupils
are in better form than when they met
Ames. He will make no predictions on the
Drake games, hut ays his tnen have at
least an equal chance" with the Des Moines
players. .,

TRAINING TABLE TO STAY
Nebraska Athletic Board Reverses
Action of Its Representative.
MEN CAN PLAY SUMMER BASEBALL
Board la Vssslaisaa on This Point,
Belnsr t'awllllnc to Pat Farther
Restrictions on Ite
Athletes.
LINCOLN. Jan. 21.-I Special Telegram.)
At a stormy meeting this evening the Vnl
verslty of Nebraska athletic Iboard took a
decided stand in favor of retaining the
training table In foot ball and declared In
favor of allowing university athletes to
play summer base ball. The action of the
Nebraska board was brought shout by the
work of the Missouri valley conference at
Its recent meeting In Kansas City In voting
six to one to abolish the training table
and in bringing up the question of summer
base ball for discussion.
Klght of the sloven members of the Ne
braska board were present tonight On the
training table question the vote stood six
to two snd on the summer base ball reso
lution it was unanimous.
8mno heated words were passed between
members of the board In the discussion of
the training table. A few of the members
criticised Dr. CUipp for his attltudo at the
Kansas City meeting In voting to abolish
the table. They told the Nebraska repre
sentative what they thought about his ac
tion. Dr. Clapp and two of the members
who are friendly to him defended his vote
at Kaneas City.
As a result of the hostile attitude of part
of the board toward Dr. Clapp no delegate
was chosen to represent Nebraska at the
Missouri valley conference to be held in
Des Moines next Monday. Dr. Clapp had
expected to go to Des Moines, for that is
an adjourned meeting of the Kansas City
session. His opponents on th board, how
ever, objected to sending him there and
nominated Prof. Phillips to attend. One
ballot was taken on the two candidates
and the vole resulted in a tie. The vote of
the three absent members will be taken
tomorrow and the question of choosing a
delegate settled.
Nebraska's action on summer base ball
probably will result In a more lenient atti
tude being taken toward the problem at
Des Moines. The Nebraska board will not
stand for any more restrictions on Its ath
letes. Ames brought the question up at the
Kansas City meeting ami wanted athletes
kept from playing with professional teams.
The stand taken by tlio Nebraska board
for a foot ball training table means that
the Missouri Valley conference will have
s big fight on its hands to uhollsh the table.
Kansas and Nebraska will be fighting to
keep it now, and It Is believed wl!l be able
to swing enough votes to rescind the ac
tion of the Kanpas City meeting in throw
ing out tho table by a alx-to-one vote.
