FOR THE
.
At the annual ohamptonsltlp niectlnt ; o
the Amateur Athletic union on Manhattan
field last Saturday afternoon Bernard
AVcfers , the phenomenal sprinter of the r.ge
was run to a standstill In the 4 < 0-ynidcr by
Tom Burke , last year's winner at the saint
distance. Wefeis wan the winner nt the
shorter distance. * , but ho slfjhrd for the 440
yard honor and mndo a herofc effort , but
was beaten. Burke , the victor. Is the Bos
ton amateur champion as well ns the king
pin of American winners In the Olympic
games at Athens last April. Thcie were
seven starters In the r.T-o Saturday , In
cluding Kllpatilck. but attention was cen
tered on Wcfcrs and Burke. Every man who
looked on had his heart In his mouth whei
the seven got on ihelr mai-'hS , and there was
scarcely n luuiinur In the great enclosure
till the faint crack of the starter's pistol
was faintly heard away up the stretch.
Burke's long , tolling strldn , so familiar to
devotees of the sport , at once brought him
to the front. Ho was followed by Kllpat-
rlck , while Wcters held himself well in
among the tnllcndors. Down tlm stretch
llurke gradually drew away from the field ,
and then n terrific shout went up when
Wefers toro through the bunch. Nearlng
the dressing room , about 100 yards from the
finish , ho mowed his opponents down ns If
they had been standing still , and then he
made his supreme ) effort. Inch by Inch he
cut down the gap between himself nnd the
champion. Evoobody sprang to their feet.
Everybody yelled : " \Vcfe r wins ! Wefer
wins ! " nnd , Indeed , fifty yords from , the
finish the triple crown for the gicat api inter
seemed assured. Hut all this tlmu the speed
and the endurance ot the Boston lad had
boon very llttlo taken Into account. Then
lie , too , put on the terrific , final spurt for
which ho Is noted. H was a hoarL-bicaking
finish , nnd Wcfcrs , although defeated , cov
ered himself with glory. Hurko beat him
to a standstill , however , and ciosscd the line
a winner by exactly seven feet. The time ,
48 4-5 seconds , was remarkably fast , but
not up to the record.
INDIANOLA , Nob. , Sept. 15. To the
Sporting Editor of The Bc-c : Enclosed please
find a complimentary to our fair , to be held
hero October G-9 , with our earnest request
that you mnko nn effort to bo with us. We
nro going to have the best string of horses
lioro wo have over had ; also a handicap foot
race , 100 yards , Sheffield rules , the second
event of the kind , I believe , ever run In
the stato. Wo had ono here last year
which was a grand success. An uukuown
colored man dropped In on us and won from
the scratch. In ten seconds. This handicap
is open to all comers ; the purse Is $30 cash
nnd the entry $2.50 , all entry money going
with the purse , which makes the event quite
an attractive one ; three moneys. I think
there will bo twenty entries at lea.st , and If
therb are nny sprinters ubout Omaha we
shall bo glad to receive their eutrles. W.
A. McCool , superintendent ot speed.
Talking of foot ball signals. Bob Patrick
says that no two teams have tbo same set
of signals , but all the best teams have
adopted a system which vailcs only In de
tail. Dy the middle of the foot ball season
every first-class team has perfected at least
twenty-five plays , which aio numbered from
ono up to the limit. For example , the
play by which left half back goes around
right end will bo called No. 1 , nnd left
tncklo between right tackle and right end
will bo called No. 7. Every man has to
take a different position and da something
different In each play , so he must keep In
his mind's eye his position In each play.
Every play Is signaled for by shouting n
series of numbers , and the dlfllculty comes
In distinguishing what play has been sig
naled. It would bo a simple matter If only
ono number was called , but In order to
prevent the opponents from learning
signals they are purposely complicated.
This Is done tn various ways , as , for In
stance , the number ot the play Is obtained
by adding or subtracting the third and
fourth numbers which the captain calls
out. Whether the numbers are to be added
or subtracted will bo determined by the
first number called For example , If the
third and fourth numbers are to bo added
the first number will be some number below
ton ; If they are to be subtracted the tlrst ,
or cue number , as It is called , will be. some
number above ten. The cue number may be
tbo second or third or some other number ,
and tbo numbers to be added or sub
tracted may bo the seventh and eighth or
any other two numbers. See how the sys
tem works ? Let the cue bo the second
number called , and If It be even the fourth
and fifth numbers are to bo added , and If
It bo odd they nra to bo subtracted. Lot the
play called for bo right guard around the
left end , which has been numbered twelve.
The captain will then sing out nine , six ,
twenty-nine , seven , Hve , slxty-threo , seventy ,
live , otc. Hardly are the last words out of
bla mouth bcforo the ball Is In play , and
ovcry man must be In his position In an
instant. It will readily ho seen that some
lightning calculation must bo done , and
that , too , while laboring under great ex
citement. Proficiency In this kind of mental
exerclso comes only by long and hard prac
tice , and many a bright man In the class
room has failed to mnko a 'varsity foot ball
team because he hndn't the mental nblllty
to play his position properly. Not only accurate -
curate reasoning but also rapid decision
la required to make a successful foot ball
player.
That glorious old "waser" Jake Kllraln
had the temerity to attempt to make a twen
ty-round run with Paddy Slavln the other
night. Not that the Australian la any great
shakes , but Kllraln well , ho couldn't beat
a pair of deucra If ho was allowed to draw
from the deck face up , He was at one time ,
years ago , a good sort of a defensive fishier ,
with plenty of will and plenty of pluck ,
but that was right after the flood , and since
then Jalu > has grown obrae and Indolent , and
paretlc , one' would think. Judging from hla
flstlc vagaries. And Paddy .Slavln , he's but
llttlo better. Put Jake's years on hla shoul.
clora and ho would make u good mate for
the old uknto , As It Is now , ho has some
considerable- punching power left , enough
anyway to maku a stowed monkey out of
the Daltlmoreau In leas than ono round.
Henry of Navarro , It la said In turf cir
cles , Is to bo let I roil and sent to Mr , Del-
mont'a stock farm. Whllo being fltte-d for
the present season at theHcnnlngs race
track , near Washington , last April , the great
horse contracted eatarrlml foyer , > vhlch pre
vailed at that point. Ho recovered In due
time , but could not bo prepared for the
llrooklyn Handicap. Ho rounded to and won
the Suburban , that race being Iho occasion
of hit ) last appearanco. It was the purpose
of Mr , Hement ! to Bend Henry of Navarro
to England this fall at the head of his
table for racing In that country next year.
Henry of Navarro Is a chestnut horse. 6
years old , by Knight of rjllcrslle , out of Moss
Hose. Clifford , who wan regarded last spring
M the only rival handicap horse to Henry
ot Navarro , may also shortly ba retired.

And there Is going to bo no foot ball game
this year between the Yale and Harvard
teams. This lias been definitely settled ,
nnd the Interesting feature about It Is
that both parties teem quite satisfied with
tlu > settlement. At leatt that Is what the
authorities on the matter say. A few days
ago tbo nov.it. or rather a statement , was
Issund from Harvard that thu Crimsons
would not play the Yale foot ball team this
year. As soon an thU announcement was
made the Yule authorities Rave the world
to know that there could not possibly be
such a gime ! > , as the Yale authorities some
tlmo ago decided that there had been too
much athletics for a season or two past
There was a fear that the business would be
carried too far. It was , therefore , decided
n year ago that there would bo only one
big game this year , and that there would
not b any foot ball game or boat race be
tween Harvard and Yale until 18DS at the
soonest. This explanation shows that the
Yale people were making a declaration that
had been made already by other people
It Is not necessary to go Into the unpleas
ant features of the estrangement between
the athletic authorities of Yale and Harvard
The public Is aware that contests between
these two bodies are more Interesting than
contests between any two other colleges
or amateur organizations. A short time ate
It was thought that a reconciliation had been
effected between them when each party
sent a representative tn the committee that
revised the foot ball rules. Hut things will
come all right , although , as the Yale au
thorities Intimate , It may bo 1S98 before
they do so.
An Interesting question now Is will there
b a game between the University ot Penn
sylvania and Yale teams. The former have
solicited such a. contest , but the people on
the Yale side who claim to know say that
tlu-re will not he any such contest. It Is
claimed that If Yale makes a date wllh thr
University of Pennsylvania this year an al
llanco will be claimed for several years , o
at least Yale would bo expected to meet tin
University of Pennsylvania boys next year
Now. this Is not a reasonable excuse by an'
means. A game could be arranged between
the teams for thla year and no other , jusi
as easily as the Yale authorities arrange : '
to go to Ilpnley this year without belnf
compelled to go next year also. If the Yalr
authorities want to play the Quakers thcj
can do so without the least fear of therr
being any compulsion for games In future
years.
Hut , despite the above unpleasant tea-
tuies , there Is going to bo a. great foot ball
season this year among the big college-
and athletic clubs. The leading teamr
promise- bo as strong this year as they
were last season. Hnth the Harvard atr1 '
the University of Pennsylvania teams are
hard at work getting ready for next month
when their contests begin. Last year It
will bo remembered that the PcniiaylvanlanF
prolited considerably by their early training
and this year they are working just as hard
anil have started lust as early. They are a
flno lot of athletes , and , judging from ap
pearances , thereIs no reason why thej
should not bo as strong and as formidable
as were the players of the university last
year. It Is safeto say that they wll
make a good record , ami that there will b < -
some reason for big and ambitious colleges
keeping clear ot them.
The authorities in charge at Yale , Harvard
and Princeton all state that their team ?
will probably be better than last year
ThereIs strong "eason for thinking that the
Crimsons will bo stronger than they vrcre
Last year they were sadly Interfered will
In their work , and this drawback Is no'
likely to happen this year ; In fact , th rt
Is more sympathy for the team this yea
at the university than there was last season
that Is , the "powers that bo" seem to be r
llttlo more an < tiou3 about the team than -wai-
the case In 1895. This Is sure to be a great
encouragement.
The Cornell trial foot ball squad will
lumber about 100 men. Nineof that num-
icr trained for last" year's team. They
are Hcacham , Tausslg , Sweetland , Fitch
Veoborn , Lylo. Starbuck. Richie , and Fen
nell , Among the new men entitled to con
sldcratlon are many players from other
colleges and preparatory schools. Harrj
'rank , a son of Hon. Klmer Frank of talc
city. Is a candidate for quarterback , with a
good showing of be-In. ? elected. George
Connors of Chicago will look after the phys
ical condition of the rnen. The team will
have no professional coach. Active train
ing began last Monday. The sjstcm of
coaching at Yale , Harvard and other older
Institutions will be- tried at Cornell this
year. Captain Heacham will have a general
oversight of the various men. Them will
bo fifteen or twenty of the old Cornell
players back tn assist In the work. They
will comeat different times , staying a week
or two each , BO that a sufficient number
will always bo on hand. Among those who
will come back to do this work are Clint
Wyckoff , raptaln of last year's team ; D > cr
and Mason of the ' 04 team ; George fUcon
and Edward Young. The following Is a
partial list of the names scheduled by Cor
nell : September 23. Rochester at Ithaca ;
October 24 , Harvard at Ithaca ; October 31 ,
Princeton at Princeton ; November 14 , Wil
liams at 'Buffalo ' ; Thanksgiving day , Penn
sylvania at Philadelphia.
Australia's faraoua team of cricketers ar
rived at Now York from Southampton last
Tuesday. There are fifteen men Ip the Anti
podean party , and the main reason , BO they
say , for their trip to this country Is to re
trlovo the defeat they mot with In 1S93 at the
hands of the Philadelphia eleven , whom they
meet today ( Friday ) , The whole outfit
from the land of the Golden Flceco Is In
capital condition and they expect to over
whelm the Quaker boys this afternoon
Next "Wednesday nnd Thursday they will
collide with the Dergen Point team on the
Now Jersey Athletic club's grounds , and
return games with Philadelphia October 2.
3 and 4 , Just when they start west has not
as jet been announced , hut Omaha devotees
of the sport can pretty certainly rely upon
petting a chance to ECO them , as a strenuoui
effort will bo made to Induce them to atop
off at Omaha. Harry New , secretary of the
Omaha Cricket club , as well as the sporting
editor of The Hee , has written an urgent
request to Cnptaln Henry Trott , holding
forth such Inducements as Is thought Mil
bo aulllcient to accomplish the desired end.
Mr. Utt of the Commercial club Bay a that
they shall bo well cared for during their stay
here , while the various cricket organizations
will certainly vlo with each other In their
entertainment , A visit thl
by * all-cou-
qucrlng team would be of Incalculable bejic-
fit to the game here.

Cutoff lake , it seems , Is destined to al
ways retain Its charm for local hunters and
Qshermen. All through these delicious Sep
tember days its uhores are Ilnod with In
dustrious anglers , and while the flnny lux
uries that are lured from Its translucent
depths Imvo dwindled la Importance from
the noble black basa to almost Inllulteamul
cropple and suntuih , the sport Is prosecuted
with as much vigor as of old. and the nr-
dimt Unheruian Is just u proud ot hia catch
i
as If It WM up to the standard ot * day' *
work In the pnst.
Hut there Is no denying It the conscience
less Hotter nnd selnnr has all b.ut destroyed )
these waters as an attraction ot real anglers
and fishermen , men who know something |
of the ethics of the sport , who would dis '
dain to carry off infant cropplo and
sunflsh hardly large enough to be dis |
tinguished from tadpoles , and men who In
no way could bo Induced to participate In
ftn Illegal sport.
Ono would think that there was n limit
to all things , but this Is a mistake. There 1
Is no limit to the Rail and greed of the
Cutolf lake market fisherman. Notwith
standing thcso waters have long slnco been
almost entirely depleted of their marketa
ble fish , such as blnclc bass , pickerel and
cropple , of a size to Justify their capture ,
ho still continues his nefarious practice nnd
will only ccaso when Interested parties arc
sufficiently aroused to hunt him down nnd
exterminate him.
Just now the shooter Is enjoying his ha !
cjon time nt the lake , as In no season dur
ing the whole twelvemonth Is this llttlo
patch of water , slough , reeds and mud BO
attractive to this class ot sportsmen , at no
season Is there n better opportunity to mnko
n creditable bag. Jt Is in September that
the teal shooting Is at Us best , and there
Is no other duck that visits thcso
waters as numerously as the teal.
The Increased settlement about the
lake , nnd the grand multlpll
cation of shooters , seemed to have no terrors
for him. Let the haze of autumn once bc-
filn to draw Its diaphanous veil over the
distant hills , nnd down comes this llttlo
mottled beauty , with n blue or a green
splotch on cither wing , from hla summer
abiding places In the north , down he comt-s
to Cutoff'a reedy shallows , to wallow In
the sunshine and grow fat on the dainties
which cvcijwhcro abound. The other
clucks , e nv.v < bnfk , red-head , mallard ,
widgeon , baldpalo and blueblll , are more
wary than they formerly wore. The.
numerous buildings which have been con
structed about the lake , and the general
metamorphose ot the surroundings , together
with the ubiquitous gunner and his 'dOK ,
hts warned them to seek more secluded and
safer localities ! for their fall festival and
sojournmcnt. Of cottise these birds still drop
In here , but In nothing like the myriads
which use to mark regularly their spring
and autumn migrations.
Years ago these waters bore a different
name from wlir t they do now. Fifteen or
twenty years back they were- known ex-
clusl\ely na Willow lake , and the uew and
uncuphonlous afpcllatloii was not applied
until after the erratic Missouri gave provoca
tion by Its famous "cutoff. " Those days ,
lee , wenda > s made memorable by such old
school sportsmen as General Crook , John
Collins , John Petty , Judge Kennedy , Yank
Hathaway , Jack Knowles , Al Patilck. Homy
1 Ionian and others. It was nothing unusual
for a couple of these Illustrcus old shots to
jump In a buckboard at 4 o'clock In the
afternoon , drive up to Wilson's lake by the
old road and knock over from fifty to
spvcnty-llvo birds before night drew her
curtain and shut off the sport. While Wil
low lake In old lang syno was one
of the greatest teal grounds to lie found in
the whole conitij ; teal In those days were
too small game for the men I have men
tlono.il. They were very "choicy. " and
teal , widgeon blueblll , baldpate could skim
ever dccojs with Impunity ; when their old
hammer guns belched fotth their storm of
tire aucf smoke , It was the downfall of can-
uisback. redhead or mallard. In those
times duck hunting trlpi to the distant sand
hills country were unheard of , and journeys
of any cotslderablo consequence were only
undertaken for buffalo , elk , deer and an
telope ; the nearby dishorn and Pintle fur
nished wild fowl In abundance , to say noth
ing nf geesu and swan , sandhill crane , Jacksnipe -
snipe and chicken.
Hut , as I said before , Cutoff lake seems
destined to withhold her magnetism for all
time to como. Despite the Improvements that
have encroached upon the feeding and play
grounds of the larger body of visiting wild
fowl , there seems to bo plenty of attractions
hero still for Anas OIscois , the delicate teal ,
seed feed In the muddy , reedy shallows ,
delightful cover and open waer of sufficient
ox pa lisa to fulfill all requirements. And
'again , September Is the favored month here
for yellnwlcgs , rail and Jacksnlpe , and while
they are seldom to be mot with In any un
usual numbers , they stop off hereIn these
tlno fall days with sufficient frequency to
render tolerable siiort.
Whllo on this subject I might add that
the blue-wing Is about the first of all the
lucks , save the ever present wood duck and
spoonbill , who returns to us In the fall from
hh breeding grounds In the north , and this
Is the tlmo for thorn hero , September.
Where not frequently disturbed they sit In
iho mud along our low lake shores , nome-
times crowding so thickly that the stealthy
pot hunter Is enabled to kill a dozen or
more at a shot. The teal , both blue-wing
nd greon-ning , fly like a bullet , and when
Jiey alight drop down with the suddenness
of a Wilson snipe , They are extremely fond
if low , mucky waters , where the splatter
docks , rccds cud smartwecd * hlckly
.bound. Their food Is mostly of a vegetable -
table character , and they are Inordinately
fond of the tiny tceds of the reed , of wild
ice and the tender shoots of all aquatic
plants. No finer table- bird exists , nnd In
the fall , after a. brief stay here , they become -
como exceedingly fat and toothsome. They
do not linger In this latitude long after the
arst nipping frost. There Is no more dell
cato member of the wild fowl , and , as they
are very susceptible to the cold they con
tinue on southward at nn early date.
What the United Statea needs Is a gov
ernment pi oof house , where guns manufac
tured by American companies may be thor
oughly tested as to Iho strength of their
barrels rnd breech mechanism , says Billy
Tonnsend. In many eases guns regarded us
absolutely safe by their makers nro after
ward returned to them , the barrels burst
or bulged by the nltro powder. Hero the
maker Is always held responsible , and Is
blamed becnuso the gun broke. Often Iho
break 1-j caused by the use of an excessive
> Imrgo of ponder , but this can not bo
proved , nnd Iho reputation of the gun-maker
miffertt. In the event of thu establishment of
a proof house by the government this would
all be done away. The gun would bo thor
oughly tested In every particular , and with
the largest charges of povvdor ; they would
then bo stamped with the proof marks.
Should the gun then break In the handy
of the sportsmen ho alone would bo re
sponsible therefor , and thu maker's reputa
tion would not bo tarnished by any unjuxt
criticisms. The name lest would also bo to
the advantage of the sportsman , as In
buying a gun ho would have the govern
ment stamp on It a certificate that it had
been tried and not found wanting , and that
It was gafo with any reasonable charge of
powder , This Is plain , and for years has
been adopted In several European countries
and has worked admirably.
A set of regulations for quail shooting
In the villages of tha Glieivc-h Province ,
Kgjpt , has Just been Issued. The season for
quail ghootlng has now commenced , and ,
very shortly , parties of sportsmen will be
out after the birds on the cultivated ground
between Cairo and the pyramids. Under the
rules which have been posted up In all the
principal hotels of Cairo , quail shooting hi
iho cultivated laud of the vil
lages of the Gheczeh Province Is
prohibited unless n llrenso has previously
been obtained. A license costs P. T. 100
( about fO ) . The proceeds of thti sale of
licenses for shooting will bo distributed
by the local authorities among the culti
vators of villages where quail shooting Is
allowed. Tha Idea of making the sportsmen
pay for the privileges accorded to them of
going on the lauds ot villagers , whoso cropa
they nro very likely to damage , Is a good
ono. Under Article 12 of the rules any
Infringement of them will bo punished by
a flue of P , T. 30 to P. T. 100 nnd Imprison
ment from twenty-four hours to five days ,
K. B. Dundy , jr. , and his cousin , Charlie
Dundy , have returned from an eventful
hunting expedition up In the wild fastnesses
of the Idaho mountains. They had an en
viable experience and a highly successful
hunt , killing , however , only such game
as they could use. They had mtmerus
chances to slay that mighty monarch of
the rocky wilderness , the elk , but refrained
excepting such times as they required fresh
meat. They lay for two hours , H. S. told
me , watching the maneuvers of an approach-
IPK band ot elk twenty-seven cows , a num
ber of calves and two spike bulls. "It was
an Interesting sight , " said Mr. Dundy ,
"watching these noble animals , brouslng and
playing , until they approached within
forty yards of the spot where we lay behind
the shelter of two huge boulders. " Kven
thea they did not take alarm , but
pAasad on by the hunters' perdu and
oft Into tHe 1pnfs ( unsuspecting ot
any danger. DeMdcs n number of elk And
deer , the twfc llifntcrs killed two mountain
sheep , the shiewdcst and wariest of all
wild game. With1 the possible exception of
the mountain' goat , and a halt-grown , moun
tain lion. The latter brute was discovered
In the centcVof a little' Blade rnvenously
feeding upoil'n' Jack rabbit , lie did not
scent the- hunters , although when first seen
ho was not over1 sixty yards nway. They
had plenty ot time to formulate their plans ,
and , lying down ; took n good rest nnd at n
given signal' thrlr AVlnchesters cracked
simultaneously nnd the lion fell dead with
out n struggle. There vvns ono other Incli
dent related ! by Mr. Dundy that Is ot es
pecial Interest , and that was the killing
of n big bull elk at a distance ot over 1,000
yards. Ho was , on the side ot ono mountain
nnd Sclp on tbo side of nnothcr. lie saw
the animal standing broadside nnd , without
even elevating the sights , took a crack at
him , moro ns nn experiment than anything
else. Ills surprise was unbounded when
ho saw the big animal make a frenzied
leap , then como rolling and tumbling down
the steep mountain side. Ilfc rolled fully
1.000 feet before lodging on the rocks , nnd
at ono plnco took a tumble over a precipice
fully 100 feet high , breaking his nntlers
Into fragments nnd otherwises sadly dis
figuring his royal carcass.
It Is quite apparent that there Is an or
ganized gnng of dog thieves operating In
this city , as a large- number ot valuable
bird dogs have disappeared within Iho last
fortnight. Dog owners , especially those
possessing hunting dogs , should take extreme ,
care of their animals at this tlmo. Every year
at thl9 tlmo this species ot thief
begins to get In his work. The hunting
season being on , they experience but llttlo
difficulty In disposing ot stolen dogs at a
good profit , and once moro owners are ad
monlshed to excrclso Increased care In keep
lug their dogs close to home.
Stockton Hcth nnd Joe Haldrlgo spent a
couple ot dnjs during the past week as
guests of Hob Co III n ot Itandolph , chicken
shooting In the vicinity of that pretty little
burg. Mr. Coffin Is a good fellow In every
wav , as the sporting editor has learned from
Ultimate' association , and the man lucky
enough to draw him for a partner on a
day or two's shoot , Is n lucky Individual In
deed.
Omaha gunners are again having capital
sport with the rail , both clapper and sera ,
which se m to fairly swarm about the
shores of all our adjacent lakes and low-
lying flag and reed-covered marsh lands.
In 1SD4 these birds were exceedingly plenti
ful on all the nearby grounds , moro so , In
fact , than they were ever known before or
since. This seaicn they are again unusually
numerous , but In nonlso as plentiful aa
they worn during the season mentioned ,
but If there are any of the uninitiated who
would like to Indulge In an afternoon's
sport they had better lose no time , for the
first Impressions by Jack Frost will set
them a-scurrylng for milder climes.
The roll la a queer llttlo fellow , n mystic
spirit of marshy lake shore nnd
reedy river bed. Ho Is a bird of slow and
deliberate flight nnd easily killed. Now aud
then. It you are shooting along the shores
of the lake , there Is nn opportunity for a
quick shot as one of the llttlo feathered
gnomes shows himself above the tulles for
a couple of ) feet ; only , as It reaches out for
the shelter of tlys high grass aud rice- , where
boat cannot be- pushed , or If a strong wind
Is blowing | the , rlslnE bird Is swept away ,
and then a geol [ allowance must be made
for him. tint ordinarily , In fair weather
and on the wide marshy fields of Cutoff
lake , ho Isn burlesque on marshmen , who
fall to knock down nine out of every ten
that dares oxliib.it himself above the waving
grass. To-Uuopk down , however. Is not

Edward Blade ; who recently returned from
a cycling trip through Europe and an ac
count of whos6 experiences will bo found
in The Hce's wheel department , has remem
bered the sporting editor with a number of
copies of that good old London Journal , the
Fishing Gazette , which for nearly a half
century has been exclusively devoted to old
world angling , Inko and sea fishing and
fish culture. As Mr. Black surmised , thcsr
papers have proved exceedingly Interesting
to me. I have reviewed them carcfulli
nnd thoroughly , have found much instruc
tive and Interesting matter and am free tr
acknowledge that the venerable Fishing Gazette -
zetto Is one of the sort of publications that
assist In making lifo worth living. It I-
verv exhaustive in detail nnd seems to be
conducted on the fundamental base of truth
an I veracity.V hat ono reads In the
Fishing Gozette ho can depend upon ii
coming pretty nearly the truth , there is
no trabh or vapcrlns by Illiterate contribu
tors. When a subject Is discussed It Is
discussed by some one who knows what he
is talking about. Cut while I unhesitating
cay all thcso good things about our English
contemporary , I cannot for n moment com
pare the Gazette with such Amei Icnn sports

I. O. Hbcdcs , George Smith , A. E. Hutchi
son. Gcorgo O. Seribner aud Brigadier Gen
eral Gregory spent several days last week
out on Silver Creek , hunting chicken
According to authentic advices this
quintette- sportsmen are. about to revolutionize
tionize- the prevailing method of capturing
this gallant bird of the plains , and do
away with all su6h unwieldy appurtenances
as shot gun and shells , doss , wagons and BO
forth. They Intend to reduce the labor of
hunting to a minimum , but Just how they
nro to accomplish this 1 cannot Buy. as 1
am but meagrely posted as to their modus
opcra.mll. I do know thla much , however ,
that jou do not haveto leave your tent at
all. All you do Is gather In n little- circle
about the mess-chest , and with a lot of
llttlo pictured pieces ol pasteboard , kill
jour chicken. It Is a species of necromancy
thp.t will require thorough education before
It can bo correctly understood. Ono man
takes the full complement of pasteboards ,
mlnglc-s tbom together Indiscriminately , and
lays them on the chest. Then another one
of the hunters carves them Into , two piles ,
nnd the man who did the mingling puts
the two piles together , picks the whole up
and helps the other hunters to a certain
number of * pieces. When all bavo been
supplied , they 'look ' at them critically a
moment , and encli one , cither says : "l in
out , " or " 1 'stiiy. ' " Then thcso who say
"I'll stay" throw away some of their paste
boards and jhunt'tr number one again hands
them a ] | Kp niimber from the main pllo
that Is left. ' 1/hen / they all "skin" their
papes , nnd Ip'ofc wise , and study so hard
jou would think'they were In a tiance. Hut
they are not , Suddenly the ono next to thu
0110 who h'Vl distributed the pasteboards ,
ejaculates "check , " holcllni ; his pasteboards
close up tq his bosom. The next man look *
at htm , qulzzkajly , then "skins" his paste
boards ait > ln , and picking up u number of
celluloid dl'sks filled In front of him , says
'I'll have to go you five bones. " The next
huulur , who ( s evidently In a hurry , quickly
exclaims ; "I see you , and goes you five
jetter. " Tlfo fpurth man Informs tbu rent
Jmt ho "quits , " and the hunter who had
nlngled and distributed the pastoboaida
adds that ho "goes to the stable. " Then
.ho hunter who "checked" nays , " 1'vej a good
notion to clevato you , I think you're try-
ng to steal the pot , " icferrrlng possibly to
.ho dinner pot still sizzling away on the
camp stovo. Ho "skins" his pasteboards
again , fingers the llttlo celluloid dUks In
rout of him , and finally announces that ho
'lays down. " Then the hunter who had
'gono" five bones picks up five more , nnd ,
osslng them tn the center of the chest ,
says , "I call you ; what you got ? " Then
ho man who bad "gone five better , " replies
'two little stlnkln * pair , " and the other
luuter. etlll holding his pasteboards , lays
hem face up on the chest , and says "no
; oed , three threes , " and rabes In all the lit-
le red and white disks that had been
hrown on the chest. This they repeat over
and over again , all the afternoon , and away
nto the night , only quitting when one or
wo of the hunters have run out of those
Ittlo disks and want to borrow more. Then
he bunt breaks up , there Is a little talk
about "bow much this and that one is
ahead , about being even , nnd so much
behind , " when they all take A drink and
crawl Into thetlr sleeping baga , and the
last night they were Hiore Hutchison says
Scrlbncr lost his voice " "
saying "Rood. I
would think , wouldn't you , that when a man
found his voice going saying "Rood , " he'd
quit ? Well , how do they get their chickens ,
you ask ? That's the mystery , but I do
know that when they got back to the city
they all Vcft the motor car at Howard
street , went up to Icken & Walter's com
mission house , went In and were there
hardly five minutes when they came out ,
each ooo carrjlng from six to B dozen
chickens. I guest they had Ihcm shipped In
by telephone , don't you ?
Tom Uruner and one or two other mem
bers of the old Mcrgalizcr club put In a
day on the Sweetwater bottoms last week
nfter that morceau of all feathered game ,
the Wilson snipe. While the birds had Just
begun to come In , Sir. 11. and party made
a very creditable bag , twenty-seven Jacks
nnd a number of lesser ycllonlcgs.
Cllffo Cole spent the week at Holdregc
and he reports moro than ordinary good
chicken shooting. Ho and a companion
brought In thirty-eight , the result of one
day's hunt.
Jllko Clnrlisoti and Charlie Mucnteferlns
have been spending their vacation on Hon.
Matt Daugherty's ranch In Arthur county
and they had a great lot ot sport with the
chicken , Jack rabbits nnd coyote's. Hut on
Tuesday last they struck bigger gamo. They
were scouting about the country a-horao-
back anil run Into a bunch of ten antclopo.
Both lads had a neve-re attack of the "buck
ague , " but they finally succeeded In crip
pling one ot the animals , gave It a long
chase , but It got away. Mr. Daughcrty said
the > y were the most surprised and most
excited pair of kids ho over saw.
Dr. D. C. IJryant Is the guest of Dr. C.

The past ten days have been less Inter
esting In the National league thnn any pre
vious week slnco the opening game of the
season. Baltimore still occupies the apex
of the structure , with Cleveland as the
main brace nnd Cincinnati next. On Thurs
day last the Queen city quitters surprised
the world by shutting Plttsburg out twice ,
the two victories , however , only nudging
her up In n slight degree on Cleveland.
As I stated last week , the teams will end
the season pretty much as they stand today.
There Is a fight for fourth place between
Chicago nnd Uoston , with the chances In
favor of the Uean Eaters , and another for
ninth place between Brooklyn and Wash
ington. So far as honors nre concerned , the
other eight teams have shot their bolt.
John J. McCloskey may take Omaha's
franchise next year , says Hen Mulford. He
talked of the Colonels the other day and
said : "It appeal's to me that McGunnlglc
now has some very fast young men and If
batters are added the team next year will
nrovo a winner. No team can win without
heavy bitters. Dolan , the new man at short ,
Is the most promising youngster I ever
saw and Pickering Is very fast. Ho played
under mo once and I think he will recover
his batting eye eventually. I believe If
heavy batters were secured the club will
prove next season almost as great a surprise
as did Baltimore the first year Hanlon won
the pennant. "
Thcro will likely be some changes In the
Chicago infield , despite Oem Adrian Anson's
assertions that his team would play as It Is.
Jimmy Connors has been drafted or rather
bought from the Minneapolis club , and so
has Preston. Preston Is a third baseman
and Connors has always been n guardian
of the middle bag. The latter covers acres
of ground , but is about ns ungraceful about
his work as any of them. He can , however ,
throw accurately to first whllo fnlllne down.
He's an off and on batter some days strong
.and others weak but as a whole would hit
harder than Fred Pfeffcr.
That awful slump and downfall of Bucli
Ewlng's Reds can be accounted for by the
players In the other eleven teams of the
league , though Buck Is trying to fool him
self with the belief that he cannot explain
It. Hero Is Tommy Dowd's theory on the
slump of Buckingham and the Reds : "The
Reds _ they call themselves , but the Yellows
would bo a more appropriate name. There
is enough saffron In the Cincinnati club
to celebrate Orangeman's day on a large
scale. If LI Hung Chang " ( new that such
a big bunch of yellow was floating about
the country ho would have secured a corner
on It. "
Connors and Preston have been drafted
from Minneapolis. Connors played hero In
TS92 and Impressed the crowd as n big , fine-
built fellow , with much fielding nblllty nnd
a shock of stngo fright every tlmo he went
to bat. Preston U the fellow who started In
last year with Louisville- and then , between
lushing and McCloskoy's nagging , fell heav
ily by the wayside. Ho Is said to have de
cided that the red stuff Is better let alone ,
In which case he ought to bo good enough
for any team Chicago News.
Charley Snyder , the Washington umpire ,
Is achinvlng quite a record as a sprinter.
Twice durlur. July ho made an exit from n
Western lengue diamond with an inflam
mable mob of looters in the vrako , and last
week on the Kansas City diamond ho ran
first In a sprint event with a vigilance com
mittee of inns In second place , well bunched
and close up. Hut Charley will Insist on
umpiring. Washington Post.
John J. McCloskey , the ex-manager of
the Loulsvllles , is figuring on a franchise
In the Western league for next year for
Omaha , and it Isqulto likely something will
come out of the move. J. J. says ho can
put n very fast team In here , and that If
ho can only interest the right parties
ho can score a big success. The liopo Is
that John will succeed In his project.
Thcro are about IS3 players In the National
Icpguo. Of thcso fifty-nine are Irishmen.
The Emerald Isle Is always well to the
front when nnythlng athletic Is going on.
There nro forty-five Germans on the list , one
Englishman , ono Australian nnd thrco
Frenchmen , leaving as American or un
classified seventy-four.
Manager Hanlon Is the ono league man
ager who doesn't have to stew or fret about
strengthening his team for next season.
Judged by the long lead with which the
Haltlmorcs will win this year's pennant ,
there is nn wny of making the team any
stronger than It la.
Thcro Is o"ho person who dees not think
that ono year In Brooklyn has "doped"
Tommle McCarthy out of the ginger ho
used to have. It Is Pataoy Tcbeau. The
Cleveland chief Is quoted as saying that hu
will take McCarthy the minute he Is put on
the market.
Chicago is even a worse bugbear for Pitts-
burg than Plttsburs has been for Cincin
nati this season. Connlo Mack's men have
but to look at Ansou and his cohorts and
they start trembling. The Chicagos have
beaten the Plttsburgs eight out of nlno
games this season.
Big "Cy" Young pitched live of Mio twelve
games against Baltimore- and vvun four of
them. The game he lost was when he lad
had only ono day's restCuppy 'iltuhcd In
six of the twelve games and lost only cne.
That also was when ho had only nr.d cnc
day's rest. Exchange.
Jimmy Slogel , the ex-Ornahog , Is tn join
the Uaitlmores shortly , and piny a few
games Ibis season to allow Manager Hanlon
a chance to sl/e him up in fast company.
Slagel may bo all right , but tie must dhow
vast Improvement over his Omaha form.
