Bug Holliday, of last year's Des Moines team, now with Cincinnati, is having a lively race down the finish for the “‘long-hit?” record of the American association - with Haurry Stovey, of the Athletics, and little Duffee, of the Browns. These three great hittors have keot up a lively rat-tat-too on the pig skin for home runs and three bag- gors. They are now closely bunched for the total hit record, with Stovey slightly in the lead with 20 two buggors, 9 three base hits and 16 home runs. Holliday has 27 to bag- The Approaching Shooting Season and its Prospects, DOWNFALL OF PAT AND BOB Latest Gossip of the Diamond-~Cham pion Tennis Players—Doing Mil- waukee — Questionst Ans- wered--Miscellaneous Gay Life in Milwaukee. Grand Prospects For Spo:tsmen. George Small and George Smith have just returned from a week's chicken shoot out in the vicinity of Lexington. They report plenty of birds, but say that they have been hunted aud shot atso much by the pestiverous markot hunter that they are wilder than deer and flush three or four hundred yards in front of the dogs ev Once on the wing and they continue until but a spsck in the distance, or fly on until out of sight altogether, The birds are also fully three weeks or a month earlie thau they have been known in this couutry for years, that is the birds are stronger, fuller grown and more matured. Mr. Small says that all the birds they saw.and they saw thousands of them, were full grown and in wonderful fine condition. The two guns, in five days shooting, bagged only about ninely birds, there best day boing twenty-six, which was the last duy they were out. They also killed twenty-seven blue wing teal on this day, and one mallard. They are of the opinion that the early duck shooting in this state promises to be more satisfactory than it has been for several scasons. There was but little spring thooting this year, and the unusual crop of birds left o have taken eyery advantage of an exceptional season for nidification and raised large and interesting families. 'T'he gunners are watching them as they come in every day, aud in a fow days more there will be shooters on every stream and marsh in the state, A little cool weather and a few ‘»onrmx rains will 1ncrease the Hight of toal & thousand-fold, und, in fact, it will bring in wild fowl of all kinds. Aunother reason that the sports- man may expect uncommon fine early shooting this fall is that throughout Dakota there is scarcelya drop of water. ‘The lakes are very low, and many of the stream perfectly dry. Consequently the feed is meagre and the birds will only stop there long enough to fina this out, when they will wing their way on down to Nebraska, where there s yet plenty of water and an abundance of feed, This will give us a pro- longed season of The and Wilson snipe will furnish good shootiug from nmow on until Jack Frost urrives 10 stay, then the widgeon, the mallard, the pintail, the redbead and the canvasback will make it nteresting for the hunter, The latter, however, will not prob- ably appear iu very overwhelniug num b @8 it 18 becoming scarcer and scarcer ever year, The catvasback 18 vwnquestionably the premier morceau of all feathored game— the most sought after by epicures and gastro- pomie experts, and counsequently they are scarcer aud hurder to get than any other spegies. And then no wild fowl is so difficult 10 bag as the canvasback. His eyes are telescopic, and bis velocity of wing i8 soume- thing wmarvelous—the fastest flyer known, B0 shy have they become that it 18 & hard matter now for the hunter to fool them with decoys. ‘They scek only deep water, aud ure off at the siightest indicution of danger, There is nov a lagy flbre in bis unatowy, and the way be leav®s an wmbitious hunter is startling.

He went there a couple weeks since from this city and organ- 1zed a fox hunting club similar to the late ciubs of Omaha and Council Bluffs, He then got up a grand fox chase, which was 10 have come off at the Milwaukee driving park last Saturday afternoon. There was $050 worth of paid admissions at the gate, and Tobe, with s pack of mongrel fox nounds and three sickly foxes left over from the memorable Council Bluffs chase, was on hand ready for the fray. Just as the old Pennsyivania fossil, who Tobe had imported us veteran fox hunter of ths old schools and who stood in with Tobe on the divy, was about to sound his horn for the marshaling of the chasers, the Milwaukee Humane So- ciety stopped in and forbade the chase, on the grounds that 1t was cruclty to animals. Tobe and _the superannuated Penn- sylvanian help a hurried consulta- tion, and then, wkile Tobe argued with the president of the Humane society, telling him there was a premium of § on fox scalps in Wisconsin, and that they had a legal right to siay the animals, the old fossil got out of the driving park and away with the ogs. The spectators clamored for tho chase, aud finally, after a delay of over an hour, which was ample time for Tobe's partner to et clear; Tobe said he would run the foxes in defiance of the Humane ducks, and he ad vised the crowd to remain patient while he went after the dogs. He hurried off, left tho park, boarded a cab and was_whirled to the depot in time to catch the 8:30 train for Chi- cago. ‘The little scheme paid Tobo and his partuer just $30, but_neither of them have any further use 'for Milwaukee, snd 1t will probably be many aday before they go up there 1 speud the summer. LY v Explamns It ‘The smaush that knocked Pat Killen out at ''risco, last Wednesday night, also broke Hob Clancy’s heart. Bob is a popular mew- Der of the local press gang, Threo yours ago he was Killen's wanager, and a great friend- ship sprang up between the two. Killen thought Bob was the greatest manager on ©urth, aud of course Bob thouvght that Killen ‘Wwas Lhe greatest pugilist that ever shied a castor or stepped iuto a ring. Bob thought Pat could knock a house out; could whip his weight in wildeats; tackle a buzz saw or a threshing machine, and come out on top. So christened Pat the ‘Terror of the North- and by thal awe-lnspiring cognomen Pat haus been known ever since, Hut Pat 18 & terror 1o longer, and Hob 18 buried in sackeloth und ashes.

The critics are pleased with “his movemnents us he appears when punching the bag, but there is a dark ramor afloat that the grade of tea with which he slacks his burning thirst is too often above proof to be conducive to first-cless athletic condition. Reports from McAuliffe’s train- ing quarters, however, would indicate that tho local man has made up his mind not to be outdone in the matter of getting down to conscientious hard work and into proper fix for a hard, bruising fieht. Joe, like his tall rival from'the broezy northwest, is_said to be taking things rather easy. The directors of the Golden Gate club have taken ofticial cognizance of these rumors and have author- ized_a special committee of one, consisting of Secretary Jamieson, who is an eminent authority on protracted temperance and its effects, to visit Killen and McAuliffe and sub- ject them to the crucial test of his profes- sional scrutiny. An Old Circus Play. There was a time in the history of the game when base runners were often thrown out at first base by righttielders on what were apparently safe hits, but it is u rarity indeed that sucha play is ever scen these days. Once this season, however, Canavan threw a ruuner out on what looked like a clean base hit to left fleld, a more unusual and difficult play than the other, but this won't ocour again in & hundred games. Tooe fact that right fieldes 0 not accomplish this exploit unly more 18 not because they are nov as good flelders as there ever were,but nhas been a vast improvement in base run- niog, Batters now are ordered by the cap- tain to run out every hit that 18 made, and a player that does not obey this mandate is liable to a heavy fine. If a grounder is hit to the infield they try to beat it out, and if it is u safe bit they make every effort to get to first us 800n as possible wich the hope of being able to make second on it. It is this hustling move the base runner gets on him- self these daysthat prevents the right flelder from making a circas put-out at first. ‘Fhe best right fielder the diamond ever knew cannot throw & man out at first—on what should be a safe hit, if the batter can run at all. Itis a play of the old slow days, and will seldom be seen upon the vall fieid again, A Shining Monument. George Washington Bradley, Sioux City's third basewmun, is @ splendid example v voung players of the bonefii of strict ab- stemiousness and good hours. Old Brad, in his palmiest days as a ball-player, and he Was & great one, never weut on & painting expedition in the wee sma’' hours of the night, or sat at the poker table uatil tme to uniform for the game. He wasul- in the hotel at an hour becomiog re- S bility and decancy, and the mauuger uever had occasion 1o pull his tab on hiw or out @ slice out of his salury on pay day. As @ result, George Washiogton is in a fair way to beat the record ol old Jack Nelson, Deacon White, Paul Hioes, Charlie Soyder wnd @ number of others who eould be men- tioncd. In truth, for actual service ou the ball field Bradley seems certain to outdo them all, for he is putting up a great game yeu to-day, and bids fair to continue several years yet. Aud then, too, Hrad isa't so ola Ws some might thivk, be is only uinety-six gers, 6 triples and 16 home runa to his credit. Duffee is considerably behiud these two. A Good One on Tim Hurst. The following good'story is told on Umpire Tim Hurst: In a receut game played at Sioux City some of the players essayed to question one of his docisions, whereupon ho turned upon them with great dignity and ex- claimed: “Now look here; eight of you ducks are supposed to be dead, consequentiy their's only one of you lefp who can talk, and _that is Captain Brosnan. Now, Bros, old man, what've you got to say} Belch quick, for' I want to hustle this game through; but let me caution you when you begin you must talk businessand not quib- ble, or I1l make life a lava-bed for you—if you are the captain of the Corn Huskers!

This is & move in the right direction. Shows such as we were treated to last spring, gotten up by private parties for their own beneflt, are worse than useless, as they fail to inspire confidence amoug the better class of our owners and breeders. The consequence was that very many of our best dogs were not put for- ward and the few who did exhibit left the show, as a rule, disgusted with the whole af- fair. 1 feel sure that tue gentleman men- tioned by you, Mr, Meldrum, is the right man in the right place. He was born and brought up in the home and birthplace of practically every dog that appeals to the sympathies of sporting men and officiated for years as judge at all the leading shows in land, which experience places him acile preceps’’ as the leading wan to con auct @ show of kin 1 understand that Mr. Meldrum is already in communica- tion with the American Kennel club and hopes snortly to be able to announce that an Omaha Kennel club,afliated with and under the American Kennel club, will shortly be an accomplished fact. 1 write this in a puraly disinterested spirit as a lover of dogs and I know I represent the feelings of a large number of fangiers in this part of the country.

Many major league clubs are keeping cov- etous eyes on Nichols, Omaha’s great young pitcher, so says the Spprting Life, Doos anybody know what has become of Joe Quest? Poor old Joe, since he first struck the toboggan he has gone down a scootin’. Dalrymple now probably leads the Weost- ern association batting list, with Crooks, Nagle and Rielley neck and neck for second place. Kid Nichols pitched two of the recent games at_Sioux City, shutting out the Corn Huskers in both. In the first game Kid al- lowed thew but three hits and in the second five. Nat Hudson, the old St, Louis Brown twirler, denies that his arm 18 dead. Yet he hasn’t pitched a winning game in the last three months. This is the time of year when indifferent ball players begin to put up a pretty stiff game 80 a8 to_be solid with the managemerg for next season, Billy Aunis, of last year's Omaha's, 18 playing quite o game for Hartford, Anais, however, 18 too indolent to ever make much of aball player, A St, Louis paper says that George Proes- ser will cover right fleld for Omaha next seasbn, but that’s all the St. Louis paper knows about 1t.

Darby O'Brien,.an old Western associa- tion graduate, as a team captain, is looming up. He handles his men like a veteran, and never wants o man to do what he does not do himself. The Mimeapolis club has signed Dolau, the fiue voung catcher of the Cauton, O., team, His principal drawback is tardiness of delivery, and he makes an sudience very, very tired. Who will constitute the Western assocla- tion next yearis a kunotty problem. At least two of the present memoors will be dropped, and the question is who is to take their places. £d Hengle, of Minneapolis, is about the only mau on the team hitting the ball worth @ cent. Minoehan and Miller make credit- able efforts, but the balance of the gang rank at the bottom of the list, Bader, of Dallas, and @ member of the *87 Omaha team, stole 146 bases and scored 103 runs th v, leading the Texas loague in the former, and wakiog it a tie with Jayce, of Houston, on the lat Mauager Selee, it is said, didn't care whether the Omahas won the peanaat this year or not. If he didn’t he has queer no- tions of a paying investment. However, no credence is taken in the statement, Rudolph Kemmler, of last year's St. Paul's, has been again set adrift by the Coluwbus Awerican association team, Toe count is a trifle stale for first-class company, aud must remain conteat 1 & winor league.

He is glad enough that Hutch re- fused to be transferred to Milwaukee six weeks ago. Dad Clarke pitched two games in one af- ternoon at St. Joe on the late trip, and won them both. In the two games but fourteen hits were made off of him, and the boys say he was as fresh as a daisy when the second game ended, Jevne, of Minneapolis, has begun to find the ball in great shape. and when it wus said in_another paragraph that Hengle was d.

Dan Shannon is making a hit as the cap- tain and manager of the Louisvilles, He is using good judgmentn handling his men, and playing a great game himself, both at second and ut the bat. The writér always had faith in Daw's capabilities as a ball payer. Pitcher McNabb, of Denver, while with Waco, made only four errors in the tweilty- four games pitched, leading the Texas league pitchers m flelding, as in everything else. Since the young mun joined the Denvers he has been little more than a figurehead, One of the unexplainable things about a game of ball is why the spectators ulways laugh joyously when the umpire gets a smash from a foul tip, Home audiences, when their team is losing, always vent their pigue and spite upon the inoffensive umpire. The Omahas have just completed an un- sedented record in the annuals of base s thuu one. Up to Friday they Lad won eightecn straight games, nine on the local grounds and nine abroad. In these eighteen gamee they have averaged less than one error to a game, and seven of the games were played without the vestige of a mistake. The Milwaukees, by ha playing. bhave at last succee up to fifth place in the West association race, having displaced Denver on Thursday last by their victory over St Paul. And the Brewers are not done climbing yet, and it is @ good bet that they finish fourth or better. Since old man Sutton was relieved and Shoch given the reins, the team has been playing even, winning game, and they are improving every day. ‘T'his has been o season of spurts and set backs for all the teams in the Western' asso. with the tion of the Oumbas.

As & consequence, they are now gubbling down there about what they intend to do next year—how they they are going Lo strengthen the team, im- prove their grouunds, and of course win the penpant for 1590.
