RESUME OF THE NATIONAL GAME Some Comments and Suggestions— The Polo Lengue—Autumn Races —Manawa's Regatta and Miscellaneous Sports. To-Morrow's Great Battle. To-morrow morning the great John L. and Jake Kilraiu are billed to meet in their long- talked-of finish fight, but iv is about even mioney that the battle does not come off per advertisement. There seems to bo a dispos- ition on the part of the Kilrain myrimdons to foterfere with, if not prevent the fight. How- ever, these reports muy be exaggerated, and the mill may come off all right. There has been an immense change in popular senti- ment since the two pugilists have gone south, and the almost universal opinion is that Sul- livan will win inacaoter. The betting everywhere is two to one on the big fellow, and with but few takers at those odds. In this city there has been but little betting, and what money has been put up is laid against greater odds than above mentioned, The battle is exciting the fiveliest sort of interest, and is the one theme -of conversation everywhere, In the hotels, saloons and even mercantile houses, on the sireets, in the horse and cable cars, in fact everywhere, it is all “Sullivan” and “Ki 1- rain,” from the baoker to the newsboy. So it must be acknowledged, as much as all B0 eople deprecate prize-fighting, that pugilism interests mankind the world over in sbite of themselyes. Among a host of opinions on the subject gleaned by T Bee are the following: Jack Morrison—Sullivan will surely win. The P. R. has never known the man who could withstand the big fellow’s hurricane onslaught. Mitehell's sprint race with John 18 10 criterion to go by. Look out for Jake's going out in about fifteen minutes. Frank Parmelee—John L. will make Kil- yain think that he can't fight a little bit. From the looks of things he's knocked out already. Patsey Fallon—Kilrain may make some Bgor of a show, but it will be of short dura- tion, If Sullivan can only land will thay swiul dexter duke of his, the sponge wiil be een ascending in Juke's corner. Billy Magner—I have eeen all the fights and fighters in this country for the past twenty-five years, but have yet to run across the man who cun be compared to tho mighty Sullivan, suw him knock Paddy Ryan out at Mississippi City, and referred his seven-rouud go with Domli- nick MeCaffrey at Chester Park, Cinciunati, four years ago, and I think I ought to know something about this man’s capacity as a ugilistic exterminator. He"ll kuock faking ake's head offt. You can put your stuff up on that. Frank Hanlon—Of course Sullivan will win—nobody doubts that. Major Balcombe—Sullivan’s habits will whip him if Kilrain will only help them a lit- tle. Johu L. has becu dissipating too much. Jailer Joe Miller—Sullivan will win if he is in shave. Captain Cormack—Everything 1s in Sulli- wvan's favor. He's the best inau by long odds, Hoiler Tospector Standeven—If Sullivan whllpl Kilrain it will be iu a very few ronnds. Bullivan's constitution has beon too badly shattered by dissipation, Ie can't stand a long fight. Assistunt County Attorney Shea—If John L. is in rel.llf @8 good shapo ns his friends he is, Kilrain will stand no show with Colonel Floyd—If John L, doesn't win bands down it will surely bo because he's BoL the mau he used Lo be. O course, Kil- rain is a topuotcher, but Sulliven is a wonder. C. C. Hulett—From all accounts Sullivan ought o *Go” his man in fine shape. “Fom Boyd—I think Sullivan will win—-but this slugging business is very uncertain. Matt_ Claire—l'm with_the majority—-I think Sullivan will prove decidedly the best man. J.'J. Philbin—Kilrain will disuppoint his closest followers. He can’t getaway from John L. with all his vaunted celerity and science, but must stand up ana fight, and that means that he'll be knocked out. The Pennant Chasers. The base ball races still continue hot and farious. Tho changes sinco Trz Bee's last review have been both slight and few, tho most 1mportant being that in our own, the Westera association. Omaha has again ontrenched herself in first place, with the Apostles close at her heels, however. The two straight games over Sioux City on the 4th gave the Whito Sox the coveted vantage, St. Paul aropping one game to Minneapolis on the same day. It must be remembered, though, that the loss of n single game just now will even up mat- tors, aud it behooves the local men v keep up the remarkable work which they have been doing. They will soon be ou the ene- mies’ grounds, for their second swing around the cirole, while the Saints during this inter- val will be sliding on_their own cellar door, s0a chungo in the positions of the leaders need surprise no one at any time. In the National league the positions of the seyeral contestants are relatively the same. with a gradual falling off at the hands of the intelligent Bean Eaters. Next Tuesday, however, they will be back under the shadow of Bunker Hill, then stand from uuder. They are certain to make up for all their recent bad luck. Cleveland, with her lusty gang of youngsters, is still the base ball marvel of tho age. She occupies second place, and had Bostou & fow more games to play in the west, she would have undoubledly beeu eom- pelled to surrender first place to the Forest City. New York is playing good and strong, and in in thied place. Philadelpnia is ot dering, and will drop below Chicago in an- other ten days. Pittsburg, Indianapolis and Washington are well in the dust of the leaders, In the American association the St. Louis Browns refuse to be ousted from their vosition in the yan of the procession, Brooklyn plays with varying success, and canuot hope to pull up with Van der Ahe on this trip. The Athletics, flicted with the most_aggrevating luck, and when most certain of game, @are sure to drop it. Baltimore and Cincinnat are fight- ing tooth and toe nail for fourth place, with the chauces in favor of Porkopolis. The Cowboys are sixth, Columbus seventh, and poor old Louisville at the tail end. The Polo League. Manager Jack Prince, while at Sioux City ou the 4th, made all the arrangements for a polo tewm there. It will be organized aud managed by George C. Common, well known in sporting circles, and be reaay to enter the arena by October 15 The Coli- soun management will proceed immediately with the laying of the floor and other iui- provements about the building in order te have it in readiness for the opening of the polo season in November, It is now an as- sured fact that the league will be organized, as iufluential parties have taken hold of the euterprise in St. Paul, Minneapolis, Sioux City, Des Moines, 5t. Joe, Kansas City and Omsha, and_are’ working with a vigor that caunot fail of bringing the project to & suc- cessful issue. Manager Selee of the Omaha ball club will probably give an exhibition ame of palo in the Collseum between two all teams before the close of the ball sea- s0n, 10 order that the people can form some 1deq of the oxciting and interesting nature of the sport. Thore is no doubt whatever that it will cateh on big. Saturday's Shooting Tourney. There will be @ trap-shooting tournament on the Owaha gun club grouuds across the river next Saturday, uuder the auspices of the sporting goods firm of Gwin & Dunmire. One thousand live birds have been secured for tne occasion, and there will be a number of very interesting sweepstakes shoots, in which such well known shots as Frank Par- melee, Johu Petty, J. R. Stice, Billy Brewer, Judge Bisenheimer, George W. Kotchem Billy Townsend, Goodley Brucker and oth- ers will take part. There will bo plenty of races provided for those who do not wish to enter theé sweepstakes shoots, and alto- gother the day will doubtless be an enjoya - ble one, The Autumn Races. The races at the fair this fall will surely surpass those of any previous season. Tho cntry listis much larger than ever before, and the managers say that an unprecedented success is assured. The colt races will be es- pecially interesting, as they will embrace 100, are being af-* about all of Nebraska’s young thoroughbreds, and among them will bo found some comers. Of the foal of 1885 there are already twenty entries; of 1887 thirteen, and of 1883 twelve, Besides these events, there willbo a full and attractive card each day—running, trot- ting and pacing, and no effort or expense will be spared to make the meet oue worthy the name. The fair opens up September 8, The Dead Arm Brigade. Good, sound arms are the ball player's stock in trade, but there is any number of them who do not seem to be awaro of this fact. Especiallysthis true of young players, who seem to think that they have a guaranty of a soft position until disqualified by old age. But this is an erroncous ides, Many young players who gave promise of becom- ing famous a year or Lwo aince, have dropped out of sight altogethor, and muany are on the verge of oblivion to-day. Look at ‘‘home ran” Duffee, for instance, who bad all St. Louis crazy during the first of the season , and who is now seldom mentioned in the Mound City papers and will be soon totally lost in the shufile. Wagenhurst and Foster, too, of the Minneapolis teawm, are examples, und if one or two players in the Omuha team are not careful they too will be ranked with the back numbers. Many young rlluyerl wantoniy distroy the power nature has en- dowed them with. Often you sce them, out and infielders, practicing pitching, not with the idea of making twirlers of themselves, but just to see bow swift they can pitch. They endeavor to execute all the rorll, and shoots and curves of their skillea confreres of the box, and this is the eause of many a sore and strained arm. Umpire Briody used to be one of the steel- armed cohort, and he was always pitching i preliminary practice, although a catcher, and to-day he can't throw a ball irom the box to second base even on an arched throw. He would give a good deal to-day for some of the strength bLe-foolishly threw away. A good arm to @ ball-player is what a sound hand is to a pugilist, or sound limbs are to & race horse, The Season Waning. The patrons of bose ball may not realize it, but nevertheless it is a fact, that the pro- fessional season of 1880 for the home grounds is more than half over. But twenty-six more championionship games, including to- day’s, remain to be played, and then good by to the sport for another long six months, Be- low will be found the dates: St. Joseph, July 7 and 9; Denver, July 22, 23 and 24; R wan: kee, August 8, 10 and 11; Minneapolis, Au- gust 12, 13 and 14; St. Paul, August16, 17 and 18; Des Moines, August 21 and 22; Sioux City- August 28, 24 uud 253 St. Josepl, Au- gust 28, 20 aud 80; Denver, Septewber 19, 14 and 15, The games yct to e played abroad are as followes: Denver, July 11, 18 and 14; St. Joseph, July 16, 17 and 18; Sioux City, July 19, 20 and 21; Mioneapolis, July 25, 20 and 27; Des Moines, July 20, 80 and 81; St Paul, August 1, 2 and 8; Milwaukee, August 4, 5 and 6; Dénver, August 31, September 1 and 5t.

Tom Mansell, former}y a well known player, is o cable car gFipman in Kansas City. [ Big George Wilson is, playing a fine game behind the bat for Wooster. There will be no game. at the ball park to- morrow. ‘The race from this on out between St. Paul and Omaha whl be run under the whip. The St. Louis Browns made only two_hits off of big Jim Dufyea, in a game the other day. All the westérn association players who went into the league and association this spring have done finely. The Philadelphia league club offered §2,300 for Crooks. 1t was refused. Three straights to Omaha, says the Pio- neer Press, was @ slight overdose for St. Paul, but they can console themselves with the fact that Is no disgrace to be beaten by the Nebraska aggregation when they are playing ball like they are just now. St. Joe and Omaha will again meet at the local park this afternoon. With McGarr, Porter and Hotalingthe visitors are putting up a very fine articld of ball Flashes From the Diamond. St. Joe has released Frye. Joe Quest s umpiriag for the Interna- tional league, The White Sox leave for Denver to-mor- row evening. Cleveland wants to sell Sprague, the old ‘Western association pitcher. Wally Andrews astonisbed the natives in the last five or six games by his daring base running. Joe Strauss has again got his eye on the ball and the way he is laceing 'em out is a source of delight o all hus friends, Manager Barnes says now that the Apos- tles ave in second place he expects to draw larger crowds for. the balance of the season. McGarr is proving: & host within himself for St. Joe. His work se far has been of the brilliant order, ‘bath hitting and fleld- ing. An immense throngwill be in attendance at the ball park to-day to_see the St. Joes and Omahas \p the second game of the pre: ent series. "Chipm"’ MecGarnwas cordially applauded by his old Om.ahs 1 when he first went to bat yesterday. ¢ ds playing splendid ball and the whole St. team seem to re- ceive inspiration fran . Kid Nichols is not.orlly the popular pitcher of the Omaha team, by long odds the pest.

There is a vast difference e 0 the showing of the two teams. 3 i BH SBH 8B PO A R Omaha..... 40 B8 | 6 8 18 04 0 Sioux City. 99 18 1 ™ 63 16 There is much cofteoversy over the ques- tion whioh is the t popilar outdoor sport, base ball or horse rubing, but 1f it was put to a vote of the whole le there is but little doubt but what would receive a bandsome mueoriv,,y. e out of every ten participants in ou sports will say that it is much better $0 see the sturdy ball player smash the hide over the fence for a home run “lfnlou and exeit- ing battle thaw it the ufecling little jockey jub the h b with his rowels, and slash it with his razor-like whij the home streteh to /be first under the wire. Heyt ¥ -] Crooks, Omaba's baseman, who s at present attractisg the attention of the base ball world by great work, is, be- down sides a heavy batter and magnificent flelder, one of the trickiest players in the tountry. In an exhibition game some fourteen months ago ho caught ““Arlie” Latham, of the St. Louis team, napping by & fine trick. Latham had made a base hit, and the ball had been roturned to Crooks, when the latter called for the twirler to pitch the ball to the bats- man, Latham immediately stepped off the bas2 and a moment later Was caught by a fine throw of Crooks, who had smuggied the ball up his sleeve.—Exchange. The first base ball play of Andrews dur- ing the Sioux City series was an exhibition of fino work, such as is seldom seen at tho hands of any ball player. The number of low hghtning throws he scooped up from the dust at his fect, wero sufiicient to have broken up the best guardian of the bag the profession ever knew, but Wally never said a word, but continued right on sawing wood, and went through the series without & ghost of an error. He batted, too, like a Tro- jan, ran bascs well and made his full share of the runs. Andrews, in fact, 18 playing as good a first as any manin the country. There is not a particle of doubt about i, but the Omahas are one of the greatest base running teams in the country, and this is all the more remarkable when it is taken into consideration that there isn’t a single star in this particular line of play in the whole team. From this season’s record, however, every one of them are entitled to this com- plimentary title, as they are all running bases 1 the most daring and successful manner, Omaba so far has stolen half as many bases again as any team in the west- ern association and more than any team in the country. In the three recent Sioux City series their total record was 85. It matte not who the opposing battery is, it is all the same to them, and an impartial analyzation of their work will prove that they are the banner base stealing team of the country. If the law makers aud rule tinkerers want to do the base ball public a nice turn let them devise some way or means of accelerating the game. Such an innovation right here in Omaha would be a God send, as in no city i the country does the game drag like it does at the local park, Some times, by actual time, it requires the sides five' minutes to change, and the people grow weary and dis- gusted with the needless waits. The players take their time coming in and going out, and often fool away as much time in overhauling the bats as it ought to require for them to filll their full term. This is a duty of the umpire. He should permitof no such un- necessary delay, and there 18 one in this as- sociation that does not permit it, and that is Sandy McDermott, the only efiicient one on the whole staff. Hriody might make an um- pire if it wasn't for his timidity and his fears of the condemnation of the players, a hard fuult, however, to overcome. Again, he is a dead home umpire, and uniess he changes his tactics, will have but a short-lived expe- rience in the position. Another bad feature about the games at the local park, is the long and senseless waits for a new ball when one is fouled or knocked over the fence. A new ball, under the circumstances, must be forth- coming, and it is a gross neglect to keep the people waitiug for the resumption of the game, Scveral of the gawes bere last weelk were over two hours in duration, aad two of them two hours and a half.

The American cyclists now in Paris called on Buffalo 13ill, by invitation, on Thursday afternoon last. They were very cordially welcomed by Colonel Cody and his managers, Nate Salisbury and Mr. Burke, the latter taking them around the cawp and locating them in private boxes, from which they wit- nessed the show. The band signaled their enwry by playing “Yankce Doodie.” The boys greeted their host with three rousing American cheers and other national ex- pressions. Oune of the funniest things in connection with the turf is the number of old plugs that are forever starting and never win. Their names grace the board day after day, &t evory course in the country, and the odds laid against them are of such tempting dimensions that many a gilley and a sucker puts up his stuff on them before the season is over. Many of these old plugs begin the season at 1ts very opening, and never go to the stable until the last gambler and book- maker is safely domiciled for the winter, They never can win when there is anything else in the shape of a horse in the ra they are only kept 1a the busin terest of pool rooms and bookmakers, as every dollar bet on them 1s just 8o much clear gain.
