News From the Ball Field—New York vs. Omaha—A Big Sweepstakes Race—Miscellaneous Sport- ing Squibs, Etc. New York vs Omaha. The six-day match bicycle race between Miss Lottie Stanley, of New York, and Miss Lily Williams, of this city, begins to-morrow evening, at the Coliseum, at half past?7 o'cloc] The race is for $1,000 a side; three hours each evening, and continuing through- out the week. Billy O'Brien, the well-known New York sporting man, is backing Stanley, and I, S, Flage, of this city, Williams, and there is but little doubt but that the event will prove one of the most interesting that has yot taken place in the building. Miss Btanley has long been looked upon as the champion lady bicyclist of the country, and @8 Lhis is her first appearanco here, she will rm ly prove a great drawing card. All he putrons of the Coliseumn know full well what sort of arider Miss Williams is, and that is, onc of the cleverest and speediest in the busiuces, The prevailing opinion is thatshe will fiud an easy victim 1n the New Yorker, but like base ball, bicycle races are extremely uncertain, The sporting editor of Tne BEg has been selected as referee, AN UP AND UP AFFAIR. The Grund Sweepstakes Race Begin- ning June 24th. The greatest bicycle race that has ever ‘been run in this city will be the sweepstake race Letween Lottie Stanley, Jessie Oakes, Lily Willizms and Edna Woods, for $250 a side, at the Coliseum during the last week of the present month, The conditions are six days, four hours riding per day, and open to the world. One hundred dollars is now de- posited with the First Natioral bank of Omaha, the remaining §150 a side to be made good by 3 p, m. Wednesday, June 18, the aforesuid bank to be final stakeholder, and in obeyivg the decision of the referee to be exempt from ali legal proceedings in courts of law. KEach comvetitor to be allowed one attendant and ber backer outside the ropes, all oiber persous to be excluded from the truck. It is further agreed that the ref- erce shull be appoiuted on the day of the finul deposit, and his decision shall be final, The competitors to be started and stopped by the report of o pistol, and to start each even- iog from within s1x’ yards of the finishing poiutaf the preceding evening, The sweep-. Btal und gule woney to be divided as fol- low he stukes and 40 per cent of gate re- ceipts to the winner; 80 per cent to lady fin- ishing second; 20 per cent to lady finishing third, and 10 per cent to lady finishing fourth. b raco to be run according to the rules of the L. A. W, ‘Tnere will be no chance to cry “fake” or “hippodrome" 50 far as this race is con- cerned, a6 & more bona fide or up and up event weos never urranged for. There is much feellng existiug among the backers of the vurious coutestants, and there will be bushels of excitement throughout the pro- gress of the struggle. The Lindsay-Needham Miil. Charles Keunedy, of Chicago, a brother of Alf Kennedy, the well known sporting man, sud backer of Billy Meyers, the pugilist, was in the city several days this week, evidenuy for the purpose of making flual arrangements for the coming will between Jimmy Lindsay, of this city, and Danny Needham, of St. The fifll will come off at Kansus , and will for a purse of $1,000, sub- Ly club meu of the town ou the en h been 1 arduous training for three weeks, and Lindsay is al- ready in the pink of condition, in better fihting trim than ever before in his lfe. This will evidently stand him well in hand, as in Needham he will find a foeman of such gameness, ability and cleverness as he has nevor faced before, aud he must needs exer- cise every resource to hold up his ena. How- ever, the prognostication is made that if Lindsay does not win, Needham will fully realize that he has had a fight when he gets through. A large delegation of the Omaha fancy will go down to see the battle. The September Exposition. The stockholders of the Coliseum will hold a meeting at the building June 18, for the purpose of taking the preparatory steps to- ward holding a grand inter-state exposition here during the month of September, Among the Amateur Bykers. Total members of L. A. W. May 30, 6,500, Cramer Bros. have ordered a Premier safety tandem and will make things hustle. It is said Francisco will ride a safety bicycle as soon as he can make up his mind. The Bicycling World's Omaha correspond- ent seems to have fizzled out entirely, Ab, there! Jimmy, me boy! The Bicycling World of this week has a very good cartoon on the ‘‘road hog,” enti- tled, “As we have met the road hog, and as we hope to meet him.” Run to Blair to-aay, leaving the club rooms at 7:30 a. m. sharp, the run to Glenwood being abandoned on account of going that ‘way on the 100-mile ride. There have never been so many accidents on a ride as on the 100-mile run; two wheels bucked, arms and feet sprained, and one of the boys claimed to have sprained his face, but that, of course, is overdoing the matter. A striking illustration of the ease with which ladies learn to ride the safety bicycle is that of a young lady here, without previ- ous experience on any form of 'cycle, ob- tained complete control of her machine after tbrec-quarters of an hour experimenting, and succeeded in mastering the mount on the first attempt. Seventeen men started on the century run, only four finishing, the others taking the train at various points along the route. It is safe Lo say that a tougher 100 miles never was run out of Omaha. The exact distance covered being 118 miles, seventy miles of it over hills near enough to une another to look like the teeth of a cross-cut suw, and part of tho Last twenty-three mile doune trough a fine rain. F. Bodoch run the Chicago Pullman handi- cap road race Mag 80, his time being one hour and thirteen seconds. A, E. Lumsen wins the time medal, riding the distance in fifty-six minutes aud forty-five soconds. The road is said to bave been in a horrible heavy conditign, Mr. H. D.

The new Western leaguo is now about or- ganized with clubs located in Wichita and Hutchinson in Kansas and Lincoin, Beatrice, Hastings and Grand Island in Neoraska. “Sandy McDermott, the umpire, receives only the most flattering encomiums from the vress everywhere he officiates. He will be in the National league in another seacon. Mark that. Under the new rules the uncertainty of the game was never so strikingly illustrated. Teamns with as big a margin as a lead of six or seven runs in the early part of the game have been beaten out when victory seemed absolute. At Minneapolis, & week ago, the home team had a lead of 10 to 1 in the fifth inning, but Des Moines went in and made 6 in the sixth and 6 in the seventh and won the game. Brooklyn’'s new and clever catcher, Char- ley Reynolds, is known in the west as “‘the pedagogue,” because during the winter he is a school teacher. He is twenty-four years of age, weighs 175 pounds, and is five feet nine inches in height. Reynolds’ professional career commenced in 86, when he was with the Leavenworths. In'87 he commenced the season with the Kansas City club and finished it with Hastings, The season of ’88 found him in the ranks of the.Blues— Menges' Kansas City Cowboys of the west- ern brand”’—and his release was purchased with that of Long and others.
