LATEST NEWS FROM THEDIAMOND The Polo League—The Angling Season —The Chicken Scason—Our Knowledge Box—Miscel laneous Sports. Who Will Win, It now looks very much as if the great bat- tle between John L. Sullivan and Jake Kil- rain, fixed for July 8, near Mississippi City, La., would surely come off. The late stories of John L.’s drunkenness and refusal to train haye been thoroughly investigated and pro- nounced false. Unless his trainers, William Muldoon, Mike Cleary and Jack Barrett, are deluding themselyes, John is doing the havd- est and most vigorous training of his life. His training grounds are av picturesque Belfast, Alleghany county, right in the heart, of the Blue mountains, Sullivan is in his thirty- first year, and a few months Kilrain's senior. He is 5 feet 10}4 inches tall, and fights at 195 pounds. His measuroments, when he was considered the iuviacible pugilist, were: Chest, 44 inches; biceps, 1643 calf, 15}5; thigh, 27, Iilrain is also training hard and fast get- ting into formidable fighting trim, but it i highly improbable that he can ever reach Sullivan’s standard, His training ground is Horring Run, five miles outside of Balti- more, where he had the fight with Frank Herald, that the police put a stop to, Kil- rain stands five feet, ten and a_half inches high and is heavier than Sullivan, When last in fighting trim Lis measurements were: Chest, 41 inches; upon and around the bi- ceps, 16 inches ; forearm, 14 inches; waist, 34 inches; thigh, 25 inclies; " calf of leg, 16}§ inches. He wears a No. 9 shoe apd a No, glove, and it takes a seventeen-inch collar to encircle his neck, Ilo trains under the pervision of Johuny Murphy, of l3oston, and Charley Mitchell, and is expected to gain very considerable benefit from the ad- vice of the latter, who has tackled the big follow himsolf and ought to know all about Sullivan’s relative strength and weak points, However, this question cuts no figues with parties at a distauce. The one question is, ‘who will wint The followmg of the two gladiators in Omaha is pretty evenly di- vided, with Sullivan o slight favorite, Jimmy Lindsay, Patsy Fallon, Ed Rothery, Arthur Rothery, Id Miller, Billy Hawley, Homer Kirk, Jack McLarned, Billy Mol drum,Jack Nugent, Colonel W. H, Beck,and the mujority of the men who have secn many fignts and fightiog men, are all staunch be- lievers in Sullivan's prowess, Still, this sig- nifies nothing, and affords no tip as to the outeome of the fight. The fact is set forth by the Kilrain men that the battle is to be under London prize ring ruies, which gives IGlraio & big advantage to start with, big John's hold being always marquis of Quoens: berry style of fighting. Kilrain is thoroughly np on the London ring style, and, moreover, 18 as agile us a boy in his sude-way dodge of blows, He is v very quick with hy hands, too. mastering the tricks and mysteries of wrost- g, and will meet Kilvan on practically an oven footing. They assert, too, that Johu was never in better health, and never was &ble to deal such awful pile-ariver blows ns he delivers in bis practice. It goes without sayivg that if the Boston Boy gets in ono , fair, square smash with kis awlil oney-montgomery, it will be all day with English Jake. His friends, however, think hoe 1s clever enough to get out of the way ef all these pile-ariver blows wuntil Sul- *aun tires, then he can sail in and gracually him up. Kilrain is credited with being dhe finest specimen of physical man that ver got ready to enter the arena against bi; jobn, and he undoubtadly would like to sai in aud do up the big fellow. But can he do it? Sullivan’s triends in New York and other eastern cities are betting $100 to $80 that he cannot. From the palmiest days of the old English prizo ring, thirty-five or forty years ago, there have been countless champions, but the king of them all is John Lawrence Sul- livan, Heenan, Sayers, Morrissey, Yankee Sullivan, Tom Hyer, Joe Coburn and Jem Mace were all great fighters, but not one of them ever exhibited the science of pugilism as John L. has portrayed it in his battles. Notwithstanding all these facts, there are plenty of so-called sports rigat hers in Omaha, who in their fancied preference for Kilrain, ask what has John L. ever done to merit this praise. Let them glance for a minute over his record : Defeated Joe Goss at Music Hall, Boston, March 4, 1580, one round. Defeated George Rooke, of Manchester, N, ., September, 1550, Defeatea John Donaldson at Cincinnati, December 24, 1880, teu rounds, Defeated Steve Taylor at Harry Hill's, in New York city, March 81, 1881, two rounds, Defeated John Flood on a barge on the Hudson river May 16, 1581, eight rounds, six- teen minutes, Defeatea Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City, February 7, 1882, for the championship of America’ and 2,500 a side, nine rounds, in eleven minutes. Defeated Jumes Elliott, New York city, July 4, 1883, two rounds, Defeated Herbert Slade, the Maori, at Madison Square Garden, August 7, 1883, three rounds, Defeated Fred Robinson at Butte City, M. T., January 14, 1854, two rounds. Defeated Georgo Itobinson at San cisco, Cal., March 6, 1884, four rounds. Defeated Al x at Galveston, Avril 10, 1884, four rounds, Defeated Dan Henry at Hot Springs, Ark., April 20, 1584, one round. Defeated William Plemming in two sec- onds at Memphis, Tenn., May 1, 1834, Defeated Prof. J. Laflin at Madison square Garden, Now York City, November 10, 1554, three rourds, Defeated Alf Greenfield at Madison Square Garden, New York City, November 18, 1884, two rounds, Defeated Alf Greenfleld again at Boston, January 18534, four rounds. ‘While speaking of the great John ., Kil- rain must not be ignored, Ho is entitled, wlso, w the [ullest meed of praise, as a study of his record attosts, His first fight of any note wus late in the fall of 1579, when he met Juck Daly. Jack hailed from Lawrence, Mass., and had coasiderable local reputation. He was put to sleep in two rounds. Jake was now a tali, handsome fellow, of magnifi- cent physique und engagiug mavners. Jem Driscoli thought he could best Jake, but lus dearest friend would never have recognized iim atter his coming to after the final round. Dan Dy an iron wolder, who worked in the mill with Jake, became jealous of the latter's reputation, and u meeting was ar- ranged between them. It was a brutal affuir, but Jake came out witt flying colors, Shortly afterward Dennis K h, of Havor- hiil, Mass,, became an vmploye of the roll- ing mill, Deunis was arapid two-handed fighter, strong as an ox and very courageous. He challenged Jake, and rough Jim onan, who kecps the far fawed rosort in land street, Koston, the fight was gt about, 1t was a long and desperate battle, und it was by good generalship on Kilrain's part that he puiled through. He next knocked out Harry Allen, old Joe Goss’ protege, and Gaorge his shortly thereafter wdded to his string of victims, He fonught a draw with Jim Goode this same year aund then was matched against Charlie” Mitchell with whom lie also made a draw. After this t Jerry Murpby to'sleep in four min. suerifl, the Prussian, in “two rounds, lyun in three, and a draw with ryer, the Englishman, His follow- portant Gght was with Frank Herald, who fie stopped in a siugle round, and then Joe Lannon received a like fate in forty- threo minutes. After the Launon fight Jim Koenan, Boston's great sporting man, who died Suaday night last, at his home in Som- meryille, Mass., proposed thag Jake should challenge Sullivan, and the following June Be did throw down the gaunlet to the cham. iou, aud 81,000 was vosted with Charles Jolvin, one of the editors of the New York Fran- Tex., Clinper, to back the challenge. Sullivan was forced to relinquish his axulted title, But let the truth be known as to the reason. Sul- livan had broken one of the boxes of his right arm between the wrist and_the elbow in a fight with Patsy Cardiff at Minneapolis on the 18th of the preceding January. The injured member had been set and healed, 'tis rue, but owing to malformation to be rebroken and reset. So when Kilrain issued this challenge Sullivan was carrying his for- midable right incased in plaster of paris. Jake's last fight was with the British champion Jem Smith, which took place on the Isle of St. Pierre, France, December 19, 1876. One hundred and six rounds were fought without either man gaming an ad- vantage, and darkness setting in hostilities ceased. - Next day the men were to resume fighti but through the intercession of mutual friends, the fight was declared a draw. The actual fighting time was two hours and thirty-one minutes, Kilrain Lus not fought since then, and it is aquestion with many pugilistic connoisseurs whether he will ever be as good a man as he was that day. However, this will be scttled for once and all two weeks from to-morrow, when he meets in the squared circle, the greatest of all champions, John L, Sullivan, A delegation of ten or a dozen Omaha sporting men, accompanied by a correspon- dent of Tue Bek, will leave this city for the scene of the fight next Friday evening a week, THE POLO LEAGUE. Application For Membership. - ‘The prospects of a Polo league, including Kansas City, St. Joe, Lincoln, Des Moiues, Sioux City and Omaha, as mentioned in last Sunday’s Beg, has set the lovers of athletic sports all agog, and the universal desire is to see the scheme consuwma- ted, Polo would be grand sport for the Colisum building during the long winter evenings, and no mistake, 1t is a lively, rattling, invigorating game at all sta, and never fails to work an audience up to the fever heat of excitement. In this respect it 18 even more exhilarating than buseball, and is extremely popular wherever played. Munager Prince informs Tur Bre that Le has opened up a correspondence with parties in Kansas City and the other cities named, and that a lively interest is already manifested there. He thinks that, after the baseball season begins to wane, 1o difticulty will be experienced in organizing the proposed league and getting it on & per- manent footing for the autumn and winter months, The svorting edivor of Tug Bee has received a letter from Chicago on the subject, stating, in case the league material- izes, that the Windy City would like to be- come a member, Chicago, however, is a trifle out of the circuit, but Manager Prince will confer with interested parties there. Flashes From the Diamond, Minneapolis has released Jantzen, ‘l\'uung Freeman, the pitcher,1s in the city. Joo Quinn is doing some great stick work for Boston, Nagle and Clarke will be Omaha's battery this afternoon, Tom Poorman, of the Milwaukees, is laid up with quiney, Crossley, of the Milwaukees, has joined the Minneapolis forces. Every one of the Omahas has made oneor more home runs this season, Will White, late of the St. Louis Browns, has signed with Denver. ‘The Odell Brothers' team, Bluffs, is playing tip-top ball. ‘With fair weather there will be an im- mense throng at the ball park to-day. Proesser won his firsu game for Galves- ton, allowing his oppounents but three hits, Des Moines has picked up wonderfully in playing and is rapidiy forging to third place. Reddy Haurahan, of the Minuies, is play- ing nothiog like his regular game this sea- son, President MeCormick will leave for the ::l;l‘!‘x woods for the summer some time next Sam Morton says Davey Forcé hasn't as Chicago Makes of Council much brain as a Jay bird, and Sam is about right. 1t may not be generally known, but it is a fact nevertheless, that Al Spalding owns the Minneapolis teau. St. Joo gets both McGarr and_Porter of the Cowboys. “Chippey” has been made captain of the team. Milwaukee next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. As yet the Beer Jerkers haven’t taken a game from Omaha. Walter Goldsby, a well-known twestern ball player, was stricken with paralysis at Evansville, Ind., one Aay last week. The sporting editor acknowledges the re- ceipt_of Ired Pfefler's book, “Scientific Ball.” It is an entartaining and instructivo littie volume. Sowders, recently sold to Kansas City, pitcned thirteen games for St. Paul this sea- son, eleven of which were victories. The twa he lost went to Minneapolis. Crooks has made ton home runs this sea- son, Strauss five, Cloveland five, Canavan and Nagle four, Messett and Conney three, Walsh and Andrews two and Willis one. Kid Nichols is one of the coming pitchers of the day. He hasa splendid head on his shoulders, nover gets rattled, and pitches at one stage of the game just as effectively as at another. The Milwaukee club has signed anew cateher namod Murphy. He comes from the Franklins, of Chicago; also a southern pitener named Nelson, ana Pitcher Doyle, of Lowell. Few of the players when working regu- larly fatten up; the continuul going on the road, and the two hours work oach day, with the brain exercise, is about enough to koop a player, in condition when he once gets there. Columbus, Ohio, is still after Jack Crooks. 1t Omaha lets him go they'll also part with the bulk of their attendanceat the ball park, Crooks is the life and salvation of the local team, and Columbus can no more afford to keep him than can Omaha. There willbe a game of ball pluyed this afternoon at Hascall’s grounds, corner Fif- teenth and Vinton streets, between the West Omaha base ball club aud Hascall's Re- serves. This game will be for blood, as both clubs as anxious to meet und decide which is the superior, The Western association is aMicted with the dumbest staff of umbires of any base ball association in the country. Sandy McDer- mott is the only competent man of the entire outfit, and he is the equal of the best in the business. Cusick, Hurley, Kelley and old Davey Force, are simply vile, Young Sowders i§ an ambidextrous pittcher, he is a south-paw, but throws to first base to catch runners uapping with his right hand. Seyeral weeks ago he pitched four innings with his right hand when his club way ahead and he his opponents down well. Sowders practices pitcning right-handed almost daily, The Milwaukee club wants a meeting of the western association ealled for the pur- pose of deposing Secretury Sam Morton, Denver and Sioux Citywill back Milwaukee, and the move may amouut to a good deal. Morton surely has neyer been a beneht to this association, and it was an ill-advised viece of work that made him secretary. Secretary Quinn, of the Milwaukee club, has begun a crusade against Secretary Sam Morton, whom he charges with being cither incompetent or grossly negligent. Mr. Quinn has asked President McCormick to call a special meeting of the Western association to elect a new secretary. Denver and St. Jos- eph bave joined in the request. Long, the Kansas Citys' nnorhwg. is about as brilliant, if not more so, than Smitn, of the Brooklyns, but just as erratic as the lat- ter. He is a young player and will no doubt gradually steady down. If he does, he will be hard to beat in his position, as he plays a very deep field and covers a large amount of territory, ‘With the hope of obviating a flood of ques- tions thav are constantly pouring in on the base ball editor with ref- erence to the present system of scoring, the following information” 18 proffered: Don't give a pitcher a delding assist for striking out a man. He is gntitled to that credit in the summary only. Dou't score a man *‘at bat” if he gets Lis basc on bulls or is hit by ; & pitched ball. Don’t count bases on balls as factors i scoring earned runs. Don’t mix battery with Helding errors. Keep pssed ball and wild pitches in the summary. von’t give a fielder an error for a muffed floul fly unless the tsman reaches first base after such misplay has been made. Under the strict interpretations of the rules an error “48 a misplay which allows the striker one base-runuer to make one or more bases when porfect play would have insured his being put out.” Among the Amateur Bykers.

This makes two of this vype of this machine in the club.

I am tired of planning and toiling In the crowded hives of men; y of building and spoiling iling and building again, And I long for the d old river Where 1 dreamed my youth awayg For a dreamer lives forever, And a toiler dies in a day. 1 am sick of the snowy seeming Of a life that is half a lie; Of the faces lined with scheming, In the throng that burries by. From the sleepless thought's endeavor T would go where the children play; For a dreamer lives forever, And a toiler dies in a day. I feel no pride, but pity For the burdens the rich endure; "Phera is nothing sweet in the city But the patient lives of the poor. 0, the littie hands so skillful, And the child mind choked with weeds, The daughter's heart grows willful, And the father's heart that bleeds, - No, no! from the street’s rude bustle, K'rom trophies of mart and stage, 1 would fly to the wood’s low rustie, And the meadows kindly page.
