This consti- tutes one of the most varied programmes ever offered at uny western shooling tourna- mont, uud the probabilities are that there will bo more fine professional shots here than upon any previous similaroccasio. About the Spring Shoot ng. The writer is in recept of a lengthy com- munication from a gentleman in Lincoln, & well known lawyer and ardent sportsman, urging the nocessity of the immediate advo- caey of the abolishment of spring duck shoot- ing. He forcibly poiuts out how rapidly this spring sluuehter is decreasiug the wild fowls, and declures that places in this stage where shooting a few years since was the very best, afford absolutely none whatever now. He says further, that the present rate of killing will surely exterminate the birds, and in cor- roboration of this statement cites the fate of the wild pigeon and the buffalo, and asks if their almost literal extirpation should not af- ford all true sportsmen a lesson and intluence them in saving the geese and ducks from a similar fate, In a degree the writer agrees with the cor. respondent, Hut what is needed is a na- tional law prohibiting spriog shoot! would do no good for » & bill while spring shooting every stato adjoiing, Facts are incoutro- yertible. Every intelligent person knows that, and in determining the merits of the question is influenced by the facts and not by apocryphal statements of those who care not how great the sacrifice of their neigh- bors way be so they accomplish their object. Again, it is repeated here, Nebrasks does DOL Want 10 doctor up any abolishing spring law until she is joined in such b move by Da- kota, Minnesota, Mentana, Kausas, lowa and Missouri, Othorwise it would be a most unfair and damwaging regulation against the sportsuen of thig state, Hand-ball. Hand-ball, the game just being introduced into Omaba bias long been a favorite with the sons of Great Britain and her colonies. ‘Withiu the past few years it has been intro- duced iuto a £ood many of the eustern cities, The game, i the exercise it furnishes and the quickness of hand aud eye it requires is imilar to lawn tennis being played how- ever in an enclosed “‘court” instead of in' the open air. A hand-ball “team” or “side’ may consist of a number of players from one tosix. The ball is similarto a buse ball though ~very much smaller. The Omaha_~ “court,’ _ corner Twelfth and Chicogo is 76 ft. long by 26 feet wide and 30 feet in height with a allery in the rear seating about one hun- dred and fifty spectators, the end of the court, ngainst which the ball is played, con- sistiug of brick finished with cement. ' It is considered equal to any court in the country. Opening the game o player on the “in': side serves the ball against the “board” with the open palm. It is returned on the re- bound by & player on the “out” side, and a *'miss” for either party scores for the other, Racquet is very similar, though played with & bat like that used in lawn tennis. - The excrcise, though not violent, calls into play every n the body, and the game cultivates the greatost quickness of and cye. The principal Omaha players are Messrs. Hart, Kilgallon, Leary, Kirby, Burnes, Baggs, Burke and Halloran, The Dog Show. Manager Ingram has got out his show bills and hangers for the spring bench exhibition, which will be held April 16, 17, 18 and 19, Up to date he has reccived some 200 entries, among which aro some of the most cele- Drated sporting dogs in the whole west. The business men are evincing much interest in the show and many of them will offer special prizes for the winners in the different classes. There will be fine bird dogs here from Des Moines, Davenport, Keokuk, St. Joe, Atch- ison, Topeka and Kansas City, and the exhi- bition will be one of much interest and im- portance in western dog circles, Manawa's Summer S~avon. John J, Hardin will have sole charge of the Luke Manawa base ball park the coming soason. The buildings are all to be remod- eled and improved and the grounds put in first class condition. Games between ama- teur and semi-professional teams are to be played every Sunday. A fine bicycle track will also be constructed within the park, and @ series of races.given during the summer months. The season will probably be opened early in May by the professional Omahas, and a strong amuteus. team. from this city and the Bluffs. ~ Visitors to the Jake this season red of some fine svort under Mr, s management. After Knapp. As all the professional bykers in the city seem afraid to give Wilbur Knapp a race, Jack Kineman and W. L. Mardis have thrown down the gauntlet to him and have challenged him to the tollowing handicap race, for $100 a side. The provisions of the race are thut Knapp is to cover five miles and five laps while the two amatenrs traverse five miles, the winner, in additicn, 1o take all the gate receipts. Knapp has uccepted, and the men posted the stakes with the sporting editor of Tue BEE last night, and agreed upon next Saturday night for the time of the race. Something About Salaries. It 1s a well recognized fact that the salu- ries of ball players have in many instances reached ruinously high figurcs, This, how- ever, has been the fault of the managers alone. Noone will blame & mau for getting all the money he can for his services. The sawe coudition of things is being rapidiy brought sbout in turf circles. Most of the promivent riders have contracted for 1889, and their sularies are fairly princely in their size, Jockey Jimmy McLaughlin will ride for a Chicago stable at a salary of §12,000 and 10 per cent of the stakes and purses won. Snapper Garrison is under contract to August tselmont for $15,000 even. Lucky Bauldwin has engaged Isaac Murphy, the colored boy, for $10,000 and a share of the stable win- nings. Hamilton will pilot Senator Hearst's string of flyers for the paltry sum of #5,000. Hayward, the oldest Jockey in America, will el §8,500 from Mr. Cassatt for his services uri{l’j 1889, lor will draw from the Dwyer Brothers' Little Pike Burpes will stay with Tucker another season fdr £5,000. Lattlefield goes with J. A.and H, H. Morris for £,000. Bergen, of Clifton notoricty, wiil' ride for Samn Brown for $4,000. Godfrey is under contract to the Cas- tlé stables for £3,500. Andy McCarthy, once a famous jockey, has lev his vicious temper and bad habits get the bestof him, and he has no job in sight. The Park's Condition. The ball park is 1n an unusually fine condi- tion for this time of the year. It is as dry and hard as it ought to bo in May. The frost, of course, is not out of theground yet, and when the warm sun and gentle rains do extract it there will be considerable mud. ‘The grass has already started, and Jack Crooks can be seen gamboling upon the same any alternoon like a young colt at play. Juck is in great shape. He is bigger and strouger than ever, and his lungs have been copper-lined. Jack says, however, he will do but little coaching this season, as he isn't getting enough money to justify this extra work. But you just wait until Jack Crooks keeps still While a game is going on, will you? Where They Grow.

The weather permitting, the first exhibition game of the seasou will take place next Sat- urday afternoon at the ball park between the Omahas and Russ McKelvy's picked team ‘The Omahas are all expected to be here by Friday noon, and of course mostof them will be compelled to go right into this game with- out any practice whatever, consequently 100 much should uot be cxpected from them, 1f the day is apleasant one a large crowd will be on hand to see the new team work—big Cleveland, Wally Andrews, Canavan, Leigh- ton and Proesser have never appeared be- fore an Omaha audience and will prove at- tractive cards.

He has engaged a pack of Virginia fox hounds to entertain reynuard, while the wolves and jack rabbits will have a lively time in dodging the grey hounds and “I know your new pitcher, young Proes- ser, quite well,”” said a Cincinnati traveling man 1o the writer last night, *and he is o corker.

A correspondent gives us the following case e s e e e good one on Jack Prince: “Last Sunday Prince came into the Omaha Wheel club room and asked me to go over to Council Bluffs with him. He said that he knew an old man over there that had a pure English greyhound (Jack's favorite dog) for sale, and e wanted me to go over with bim to inspect the purp. We started out, and had to walk about a mile and a half through the mud of Council Bluffs to an old hut. The old man would hardly speak to Jack at first, but finally he brought out his dog, a magniticent blue hound, and after a good deal of talking, closed the bargain at %10, ‘But,’-he said, that ‘before he sold the dog he had to see the ould woman about it,” who was lying sick in the house and wasn't expected to live very long. The dog had always veen a pet of hers, and the old man conldn’t sell him withouv her consent. He stayed in the Lhouse about ten minutes (during which time the mused himself by tearing a piece out of ercout), and when he came back (the old man, not the dog) he told us that his wife wouldn’t part with the brute. But he added, “‘the dhoctor says that the ould woman can’t anuther week, and if yez will come over nixt Sunday, sure she will be dead, bliss her soul, and I will take the tin dollars for the crayture.” If chances are favorable, Jack says, he will have the dog next week. ‘The membership books of the League for 1888-9 are_now closed, and those for 1889-90 areopened.
