memoranda opinion In the Vnltrd Btatee
circuit court dismissing, (or want of equity,
th rjtff of the Omaha Electric Ught and
Power company against th city f Omaha
and Waldemar Mlchaelsen, city electrician.
The opinion states that the restraining order

This order retrained the city from eut
tlnK the wires. It la annum fd that after
July .11. It may resume cutting them un
lew Minn other action Is taken.
The restraining order wa Issued by
Ju.lce T. C. Munger, June 29, IMS, and dl
rcctn (hat the city of Omaha and the city
electrician sease from euttlng or remov
ing the wire, of the Electric company, or
to otherwise do anything that shall Impede
It business.
Concluding with reference to the ordl-
nam e of lfM. from which the original com
pany derived Ita rights, Judge Munger
Bald:
. "When the ordinance waa enacted It did
nut in my opinion Intend to transmit the
electric current for all purpoaea, an J
whether for other than light purposes the
ordinance does not atate.
" The payment of a percentage upon the
.company's gross Income constitutes valid
ratification of assumed authority of th
complainant. The payments were merely
voluntary, with the full knowledge of all
tne racts and its legal rights and upon
no representation or conduct by th elty
which stops It 'from denying that the
complainant's rights are greater than those
mrvrtsfly stated In the ordinance of 13S4.

merotal club discussed the consolidation
of South Omaha, Omaha, Benson and Dun
dee at a meeting at th Commercial club,
The meeting waa an Informal one and
the situation was simply talked over, no
action being taken or determined upon.
A great many South Omahan who
formerly opposed consolidation are now In
avor ' of rt," said the mayor.
To take In Benson," said David Cole,
It would be first necessary to bring within
the oorporate limit the area between
Omaha and Benson, but this can easily be
done by the city council."

would vote In favor of consolidation. Ottv
ers at the meeting were John L. Kennedy,

Order Secared by T. Camp
hell Against J. W. Cknpek.
The proceeding of Sylvester T. Campbell
of Plorenoe, who had begun an action to
oust hi tenant, Jamt W. Cnapek, off the
farm because he was not cultivating th
crops, when In fact Campbell had got
possession of all hi tool on a chattel
mortgage, was ended when Judge Troup
dissolved th restraining order without
granting a hearing and the attorney with
drew the case.
Campbell made a showing In court that
although hi tenant had paid him half of
the rent for the year and the retnatnjjer
would not come due until September, the
weed were spoiling the crop and per
manently damaging the property.
Judge Troup granted him a temporary
order which enabled him to take posses
sion. The order was revoked when Judge
Troup came to the conclusion that the
case waa being unduly delayed and the
proceedings were dropped.

Repose.
NKW TOR If,. July 1 -The physical and
mental qualification that go to make up
a crackajack pugilist differ from those of
any other class of athletes In the world,"
said the old New Tork sporting man the
other evening. "There arc many strong
points about a fellow who becomes a
champion fighter that are not generally
noticed by the fickle fight fans of today.
In the first place, the successful pugil
ists must have the rugged physique
brokd shoulders with big punching mus
cles In the upper part of the back, a
good thick neck that can stand a strain,
heavy, well set Jaw that denote bulldog
tenacity; a (moll, rather flat nose, not
easily broken; small, sharp eyes, with th
fighting glint In them. Th arm of course
should be long and muscular, yet not
bound up like those of a lifter of heavy
weights, while the waist and leg should
be small In comparison with th dimen
sion of th upper part of the body,
"Greet speed Is absolutely neceesary In
the makeup of the classy fighter. I've
never known a great one with heavy, pon
derous limbs. Look them over John L..
Sullivan. Jack Dempeey. Jack McAullffe,
Kid McCoy, Jim Corbett, Bob Fltislm
mons. Tommy Ryan, Oeorge Dixon, Joe
Gans, Frank P. Slavln. Young Grlffo and
a host of other famous pugilists with com
paratively stal I lower limbs. It's that
way with sprinters men, horses and dogs.
Footwork Is Important.
"The fighter of today do much mor
peedy footwork than those of the old
school. Take Stanley Ketchel for an
Illustration. With what wonderful rapidity
he get around an opponent in a twenty-four-foot
ring! HI speedy legs certainly
play a most Important part In all of hi
fights, lie's lightning Itself In the arena
nd by means of his rapid footwork he
keeps on top of his antagonist every mo
ment. No man has yet been able to out-
sprint him In a ring contest. That is one
of his strongest points. Jaok O'Brien Is a
very speedy fellow on his pins, but Ketch
caught him every time he tried to get
away.
John L. Sullivan was fast on his
...i
wnon ne nrst came out. but when he
got fat and heavy he also became slow
ana clumsy. He was a big ice cart when
he met the swiftly moving Jim Corbett In
New Orleans seventeen years ago. Corbett,
It will be recalled, had so much speed thai
ne was on top of Sullivan at all stagea oi
th one sided mill. In that fight Sullivan
waa not actually put to sleep. He was
Imply exhausted and went down In sec
tions like a worn out horse.

"Did you ever know that a great ma
Jorlty of flstlo champion of th post have
nao small eyes, set well back In th head?
Tankee Sullivan, Joe Cob urn, Jim Dunn,
Jem Mace, Joe Goss, Billy Kdwards, Jack

Pllrnmer and many others have been noted
tor their small, cunning eyee. But their
optic have all been clear, bright and plero-
ing just the same.
a. pugiust oi tne highest class must
have a good, true eye one that can cor-
rectly Judge distance, so that a blow can
reach the mark aimed at. That was one of
Dempeey best qualities. II could hit an
adversary on th spot selected without
being an Inch out of th way.
jock Johnson, by the way, doe not
have many of the strong point of a cham
pion In hi makeup. HI eye are too
large and unprotected. An old London
rule fighter would simply blind him with
bar knuckle In a hard battle. Compare
th colored champion' optics with those
of Billy Edwards, which were small, deep
set and protected by overhanging brow
bone. Johnson's legs are too heavy for
speed. He . will discover this fact when
he get Into th ring with Ketchel, who
will force him to move quickly or take an
unmerciful walloping. Besides Johnson's
fet or flat, and that remind mt that I
never saw a flat-footed fighter with any
great amount of action. Of course John

American Fighter Dreeay.
American fighters from Tom Hyer down
were always mor dressy than English or
Australian ecrappr. John C. Heenan waa
on of the neatest and most fashionably
attired men I ever met and that was forty
years ago. When Heenan went to Oreat
Britain In ISM to fight Tom Sayres for the
International championship he made; a hit
with the English nobility by his swell ap
pearanoe. They inviud the Tankee gladia
tor to their clubs and estates and gave hTht
more recognition In a social way than any
foreign pugilist ever received before or
since. Heenan was a gentlemanly fellow
and always tried to conduct himself In a
modest way. Heenan did more to raise
the standard of the American prise ring
than any other man who has stepped
through the ropes.
"Peter Jackson set a good example
among the colored fighters, for although
Peter was as black as tho ace of spades
he tried to dress and behave like a gen
tleman. Jnckton. was no piker when It
came to a matter of fine olothe and a
good living. He would buy wine with any
of them, yet he wo never boisterous or
too fresh, like some of the coon fighter of
the present day. H eldom talked upon
flstlo topic and never mixed In tough so
ciety. A a fighter he was far superior
to Jack Johnson In both science and hlt-
tlrifc. But he loved the grape Juice and
fell by the wayside.
'A classy fighter must hove a clear
brain. No dull wltted. bull-headed renow
can ever hold wy among the topnotoh-
ers. The modern flstlo champion must be
hHht. Intelligent walloper. He must
be a good ring general who can plan his
battle and be able to carry It out by skill
and science to a successful flnluh. Take
the American ring star of today and
you'll find they ar all bright, olean cut.
smart fellows, with other qualities that
were unheard of In olden time."

FOR DAVIS CUP TRIALS
English Lawn Termit Cracks Who
Will Oppose Out Experts.
FOUR OF THE BEST AXE COMING
W. Gore, Present English cham
pion, Veteran of the pnrty
J. O. Ritchie and HI
Strongreet Point.
NEW TORK, July 17. That the Davis
cup trials this year will be productive of
some gilt edged lawn tennis Is beyond
question, for England will be represented by
Us foremost cracks of the present time
and surely only the best will toe th base
line for the Stars and Ntrlpes. Though
there may be some changes as time wears
on, the English team spoken of Just now
are A. W. Gore, Major J. O. Kltchie,
Kenneth Powell and J. C. Parke. Of these
perhaps Richie and Tarke are best re
membered on this side on account of their
effort In previous contest for the Davis
cup, but because he 1 th present English
champion at singles, A. W. Gore com
mand the most attention.
His recent defeat of Richie In the chal
lenge round at Wimbledon was remarkable,
especially as In years he Is long beyond
the climaterto when most players are sup
posed to be at their prime. Today he Is
41 years of age, but the flight of time has
detracted nothing from Ms ability as an
all around man at trie game. liher at the
net or at the base line, he Is equally ef
fective, while hi resourceful tactic ar
Inexhaustible. It I a fact well demon
strated that no man can ever say he ha
Gore beaten till the last point ha been
tallied against him. It has been said of
him that fortuns'seem to smile upon him
at Wimbledon above all others, but maybe
whatever success he ha attained there
la due more to hi clevernes than to luck.
Oei-e l Well Knows.
In 2 Ml when Oore first won the cham
pionship title, O. W. Hlllyard had him
virtually defeated and only failed to gain
the victory by a net oord stroke, but to
the surprise of the spectators at that very
last instant the tide turned Gore' way
and every stroke was a winning stroke
until he won out. Gore needs no introduc
tion to Davis cup matches, as he played
with H. Roper Barrett against Brookes
and wilding, tn Australians, two years
ago at Wimbledon. Thl match will never
be forgotten by those who were fortunate
enough to witness It. In the early part of
the fray the Colonial appeared to have
the Englishmen at their mercy and won
the first two sets handily. Brookes was
serving his terrific break-backs, and the
Antipodeans were 40 to 16 when the specta
tors rose and prepared to leave the courts
thinking It was all over.
Brookes, first service ball aras a fault,
and he served an easy on the next,
which Oore killed by a nice drop shot and
won the point. Then came the turn of the
tide again for Oore, and the people sitting
around who knew him smiled when he
won the game, and there were miles, too,
on many a face when the Englishmen
won the set and the set following It, mak
ing th score 1 all. Then came the final
tussle, which ha left an Indelible mark
on the history of Wimbledon. Gore and
Barrett actually romped the, first four
games of the final set without giving the
Australians a chance to score, but at that
stage the Englishmen faltered and their
opponents took advantage of the moment.
Finish of Oreat Match.
Gradually Brookes worked back Into
his fearful service and won ace after ace
until the score stood 4 all. Then the
Englishmen did some bracing and won
the next game, making the tally t to 4
In their favor, but the Australians were
there with a rally and won the two next
games, giving them the lead with I to S.
When the score reached 9 games to S the
Australians were ahead and then Came
a deadlock struggle the likes of which has

Major J. CI. Ritchie was her' last year

direction, although he hoe been trying for
the event for a good many years. That
the win was no fluke Is evidenced "hy the
fact that Ritchie was opposed by such
player as Oore, Kenneth Powell and C.
P. Dlxom. Of course Ritchie Is better on
boards than on ths grass, a victory over
H. L. Doherty being to his credit on the
former, though It la not on record that
he once won from "Do" on the latter.

It Is said that Ritchie gets these spasms
from the strength of his back muscles.
Tears ago he used to be a crack sculler,
the result of the Indulgence In boating be

his hard service and driving power. A

On being asked recently which was the
game of his life, Ritchie said:

cool cheek and probably the aggressive
tactics of one who had everything to win
and nothing to lose. S. H. Ptnlth I only
beat once, O. Barlow gave up the game
soon afterward and Ir. Kavea Is quite
capable now, with perhaps a little less
avoirdupois, of avenging his early defeat.
But the fact of beating these players, who
