Latest from Bascball Circles—The Gun, Dogand Trap—St. Joe's Rifle- men—Miscellanéous Gossip and Information. Now is the Accepted Time, Now is the time to begin to agitate the question whether Omaha shall bave a spring or early summer racing meet, if such a thing is to be done at all. This matter was much talked of during the races at the last fair and horsemen seem to be unanimous on the head that a summer session would not only afford three or four days splendid sport, but advertise the city of Omahu more effective- ly than anything else that could be sug- gested. I St. Paul, Minneapolis and Kansas City can conduct a successful sum- mer running and trotting session, Omaha can certainly hold her end up in the same line. There is a large and enthusiastic sporting element here, vhe city is @rowing and prosperous, and should not be backward in her efforts to secure every metropolitan feature possible, The fair grounds tract llrronmlncod by competent judges to be one of the very best half-wile tracks in the country—in fact, the very finest west of Chicago. The curves are just right and the grade admirable, while the soil is of that absorbent d elastic character in such high favor with old turtmen and trainers, This track is calculuted to induce the very highest rate of speed of which animal is capable, and it is a pity that it isn’t utilized more than it is, ‘I'te fair grounds are easy of access; the graudstand is commodious and breezy, there is vlenty of first class stabling, good water and all the other desirable acces- sories to a first class and thoroughly equipped race course. THR Bk has made frequent attempts to aronse o spirit and entcrprise suficient to sccomplish this commendable project, but 80 far horsemen and turf-lovers have done little more than endorse the sentiment herein set forth, and allowed tho matter each time to drop without a single effort toward its consummation, It is to bo hoped that affairs will take a new tact this winter, and that the patrous of the speed ring will uuite in the offort to give @ three or four days’ racing scssion in June or July. If proper interest is onco awakened - and Enum-n men a8 well s horsemen have their eyes opened to the incalculable benefits that would ac- erue from such an enterprise, there 1s no doubt but what Omaha would take the place in turf circles her population, ber wealth, thrift and eographical sition entitles her to. n time @& ua fide jockey club, such as every first class city in the laud poss: would be the outgrowth, All Quictin Baseball Oircles. There is little or no news of an teresting character from the bassball world, All hauds seem to be waiting, like Micawber, for something to tura up. Of all the organiza- tions in the country, however, the Western association is apparcutly the least perturbed and in the best condition, All the clubs have at last signed about all of their reserved nlu-n. and are ready to go into spring prac- ice at & moment's notice. Not a siogle de- fection from the Western association has been reported, although the brotherhood made a big play for pitcher Clarke of the Omaha team and shortstop Long of the Kan- wusCitys, There has beeni ome talkk recently sbout St. Louis and Loussville coming into Mbe Western association, but uow thal the American has patched up her broken fences, this hus ceased, and the circuit next year will be oxactly as it stands now. However, there is Jittle doubt but what another year will witness a radical change in the circuits of the 1eading organizations of the country. The Whols Hog or None. Charlie Budd, the well known champion trap shot of Des Moines, Ia., is advocating an amendment to the American shocting as- soclation rules, which will prevent class B and C shooters from entering class A events. Budd says: “Under the existing rulo I am pronibited from shooting 1n class Band C events,but class Bana C shooters are eligible to enter in cluss A events. The resultis that very often the low class shooters tie with the high class men for the moneys hung up and the high class men are compelied through courtesy to divide with their inferiors, or be callea hoggish., 'What is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander,” Mr. Budd’s argument, is a flimsy one, and his ment will doubtless receive ‘small consideration. For instance, if an amateur, or ordinarily good shot, has the sand to enter into a contest with the class A or crack shots, and fortunately happens to tie the best of ‘them, he is entitled to no com- pensation for his nerye and skill, but must 8hoot off with his much superior antagonist, who of course will beat him in the long run, leaving hum as consolation only the fact that he made a good score. No, sirj the right way is, should a commou shot bappen to vie an extra good one for first money in a con- test, to spliv the purse, iving the tyro the reward so well merited, 1t is too commonty the case at trup shoots now-a-duys for the class A shooters to “stund in” with each other, und shoot %uit well enough to take all the money, leaving” e amateurs to setile the costs, and consequently Class A should be rigidly shut out from class B and C events. Irank Parmelee, the local crack, rather endorses Budd's views, that is, that the fine shots should have all the money as well as glory, John Petty, however, another resident crack, believes explicitly i the en- forcement of he class rules as they exist, however, smend- but Want a Telegraphic Match, The St. Joseph rifle club, ot St. Joe, Mo., is anxious to get on atelegraphic match with the Omaha rifle club,four men to each team, 200 yards, oft-hand, standard American tar- gét. If the Omaha rifle club is still in exist- ence, its members are too unambitious to let the fact be known., Two years ago this or- ganization was 10 a flourishing condition and its weekly competitions were as regular as theseven days would roll around, but this past seasou it was slmost wholly ivacti There were some fine shots in the club and team of four could bave been picked from’| their rauks who would have been able to make any team in the country ‘‘draw ’em mighty flue.” J. R. Clarkson and John l’un% were two capital 200 yard men, while Dr. Worley was cabable of making a score that any rifie- man might have been proud, of. However, these men seem to have ubandoned the rifle entirely, and if St. Joo wants a match she will have to name shotguns, or look else- where, Of the St. Joe club Dr, R. 8, Dins- more is probabiy the best shot, with J, B, Eberly and M I, Myers close seconds, § A Big Tournament for April, The spring trap-shooting tournament to be held in this city in April next under the management of John Dubmire and Frauk S, Parmalee will be the most colossal affair of the kind ever held in the west. The ar- rangements for the tourvey are already being made in the way of advertising mat- ter, programme and invitations. There will be four days' shooting at live birds, both pigeons, blackbirds and sparrows, as well as artificial targets, and the best shots of the country will be here, including Budd, Tucker, Bandle, McMurchy, Stice, Elliott, Kleinz, Quimby, Kuble, Canoon, Whituey, Wolsteucroft, Heikes, Fro, Edwards, Hawks and scores of otbers. There will bd a large number of guaranteed purses, and the two premier stakes, the Merchants and the Hotel stakes, will aggregate §2,500. This will be live bira ehooting, no classification, but open to the world. In the courseof a month or six weeks the enlire programme will have been definitely mapped out, and will be found in these columns at the earliest moment, Grand Trep Shootinz Tour. The unparalelled tour of the U. S, Cart- ridge company’s shooting teams, Manager Dimick writes Tue Beg, has at last been fully decided upon, and their pilgrimage will begin January 27 at Dayton, O. Tom Keller, well known to trup shooters snd sportsmen throughout the country,.goes asthe combina- tion’s avaunt courier. The teams will not reach Omaha’ before Octobsr next, when local trap shooters will tender them a grand reception. The route of the combination as as well as the names of the members of the two teams have been published in Tne Bre before and our sportsmen are evidently familiar with the character of the enterprise. It may not be out of place, however, to give once more the names of the com- plete teams, for the purpose of ref- erence and 80 forth. The eastern team is composed of H. McMurchy, Syracnse, N. Y.; H. B. Whitney, Phelps, N. Y.; W. H. Wolstencroft, Philadelpbia, Pa.; W. E. Porry of Boston and W. §, Berry of Worces. ter, Mass., with W, Fred Quimby as substi- tute. The western team: C. W. Buad, Des Moines, Ia.; J. R. Stice, Omuha; Rolla O. Helikes, Dayton, 0.3 J. A. Ruble, Beloit, Wis'; C. E. Canom, Freeport, 11l.; ana S, A, Tucker, Davenport, Ia., as substitute. There will be a large number of very in- teresting live bird races shot auring the tour, of which the following are part: At Lousville, Mr. Heikes vs Ruble, birds @& side; at St Louls, Messrs. McMurchy and Whitney vs Messrs, Budd and Stice, 50 birds & side; at New he Eastern vs Weatern team, 50 e; at Los Angeles, Mr. Quimby vs " Tucker, 25 birds a at San Fra cisco, Mr, Budd vs Mr. Stice, 35 birds a side, and also Mr. McMurchy vs Mr. Heikes, 35 birds a side; at Denver, Mr. Ruble vs Mr, Whitney, 25 birds a side; at Leadville, Mr, Budd vs Mr. McMurchy, 25 birds a side; at Kamsas City, the Eastern vs the Western team, 100 birds a side; at Chicago, the East- ern vs the Western team, 100 bird: e, This will furnish diversion in th rget programme, and still further complete the aturactions of what is aiready accepted us the most unique and perfect trap-shoouing undertaking on record, Flashrs From the Diamond., Pitcher Crowell is running an ice rink at Sioux City, Dan Stearns will guard first base for the Boston league team next season, South-paw Lwirlers are said to be of con- trary dispositions and bard t& control. Jack Sneed, Swmith, Sage, Werden and vl‘:: Dylse have all resigned with the Toledo club. Herman Tong, Kansas Citys great Ger- mau short stop, will doubtless wear a Hos- ton league unifor next season, Short-stop Walsh, formerly of Omaha, has gone into the fish and oyster business in Auuistor, Ala.—Sporting Life, This will be news to Joe, Manager Macullar of the Des Moines team has signed left-fielder Walsh of the Pough. keepsie club, and rigbt-fielaer Hrimblecom of the Peoria club. The Western association has @one nothing of the kind. Ivstead, however, she got right up on her hind legs and howled when it was even hinted that Von der Ahe would like to come in, Danny Shannon bhas been unconditionally rele by Lou e, and if Omaha would like to retain Canavan in the field—where he belongs—Shannon would be che wan to ®0 after to play sccond. Eastern papers have bad Eddie Fussel- bach sigued with about every league iu the country, when the truth is he put his haua to & Des Moines contract fuily two months ago, aud that is where he will play next year. The Western ussociation has invited the St Louis club to join it. Voo der Ahe laughs at the idea, He lost §7,000 on bis Brown Stoclkings two years ago and does not relish another dose of the kind.—Sport- ing Life. Henry Kapyell, third base and short stop, with Cincinnati in 1833 and Columbus last season, has signed with Sioux Cit. good man, and will add_immeasurably to the Corn Huskers batting fo The local management Is determined that a different system of thiogs shall exist at the grounds the coming season—that they shall be kept scrupulousiy clean, and that the grand stand shall be swept und dusted daily. Ezra Sutton wants to get back on the Milwaukea team, bug it is doubtful whether Milwaukee can fiad o, place for him. There is no mistake about it, but Sutton played for a record all last season. Ho seemed to think that he was way out here in the woolly west, where the baseball public were jays and they would never get onto him. But they fooled the old mau here in Omahaand roundly hissed him, toe, for some of his make-believe breaks for hard-hit grounders. Itis quite likely that both Sandy McDer- mott and . Tim Hurst will be found on the ‘Western association umpire staff again next season, s there is going to be abundant timber for the league; American association and the players' league, if the latter ma- terializes, They are both competent men, however, and the assceiation might go far- ther and do a good deal worse. Sandy Me- Darmott is really a first-cluss man, and the same might be said of Hurst if it wasn't for his voine, which is weak and inaistinct. It has been at last decided by the Omaha management to play Jack Messitt in right tield next season, and this probably means the release of Joe Strauss. Messitt 18 u hard-workiog, consciontious, all-round Elnyer, and if kept regulsrly at work will eep company with the bestof them. The difficuity with Scrabpy last year was that ho was played so seldom and changed about 8o often, that before he got his hand in the sca- s0n was over. One thing can be truly said in Jack's fayor—ho always plays hard for his side and is very popular with the local fans, and if kept at work noxt season good things may be expected of him, President Speas of the Kansas City club annouuces that he has withdrawn the offer he made to the negotiatiqn committee of the National league for tho aple of certain of the Cowboy players, In the future tae league clubs must go to Speas 3t they wish to buy aoy of his plnyan‘ as declares that they huve been postponing tl urchase in order to see what the outcome gf the brotherhood is going w be, knowing if that goes undor, they can get all the ers they want at their own figures. ident Speas also ince he has no Omaha, Minneap- d Sioux City’s g teams, that his Western association team’ must be almost if not fully as strong as it in the American associution, if he hopes %o win the pennaant, and he is not nearly s0 amxious to scll as he was, ‘The writer looks for' Elmer Cleveland to develop into a great ball playor the coming season. When he made his debut two years ago, 1o was looked upon as a coming wonder, but sickness overtook him and through lack of practice he retrograded. His play on the Omaha team the greater portion of lust sum- wer clearly demonatrated that the stuff that stars are manufactured out of, is still in him, Some of his stons of hard hiv ers, his pick-ups, clean and faultl Wi of the v]henomunul order, while the way he lined them across to first, was something that no player in the country could beat. Then again, when Elmer has his ‘'good eye” on, his hitting is of the Tip O'Neil style, as hus great record of long hits last season well attests, There is vo deaying it, Cleveland is one of the very best of allthe young blood stock in the country. ‘I here are but few ball players wintering in Omaha, but those who are here take but littie stock 10 the. prospective success of the brotheracod. Russ McKelvy, an old time player, and as gentlemsoly and intelligent a player as ever wore a uniform, side with the mass of old veterans, He docs pot consider that the ball player has any kick coming, and fails tosee bow a lot of incompetents are going to make a success out of such un extensive undertaking as the brotherbood evideatly is. McKelvey knows all the old tiwe men, and rewlizes the difi- culty that will be experienved in effecting , doas not discipline and harmony within their ranks when they have exclusive control of affuirs. Huss still has his doubts about the organiza~ tion ever playmng a game, but says he may change his mind when he hears of the backers putting their money into now grand-stands, fences and such, for it must be remarked that not a single dollar has beon spent for this purpose 8o far, at least that the public knows anything about. Miscellaneous Local Sports. The shallow places in the Missouri river— which is lower at present that it has been known in & quarter of a century—are re- ported to be literally swarming with buffalo and cat fish, 1 Jimmy Canavan writes Manager Prince that at the end of tho polo season he hopes Lo bring the champion team of the New KEng- land league to Omaha for a series of games with the champion team of the Omaha city league for the gate receipts. Jem McHale, the Philadelphia pug whom Umpire Tim Hurst wanted to back for a finish fight with Jimmy Lindsay last fall, was knocked out with & punch by a novice at New Orleans Wednesday mght. Hurst was behind him. Leon Lozier of Council Bluffs won a 100- yard fvot race for $200 a side at Atlanta, Ia., New Year’s day, beating Al Tharnisha yard. The latter claimed that Lozier beat bim by taking advantagoe of the bungiesome work of the starter, aud wants to run the Bluffs man again. Adyices from the north state that no less than 5,000 head of deer has been killed by the Indians in the Wind river country during the past two months—in a majority of cases simply for their hides. Tt is no difficult matter 1o perceive that it will require but a very fow yeurs longer to entirely exterminaté the game in this region, now unquestionably the finest hunting grounds in the whole country. The six-day bicycle race for the twenty- four hour chumpionship of America, which has been fixed for the Coliseum the second week in February, will undoubtedly prove one of the finest cycle tournaments ever held The list of entries is already very and by the time the gong sounds for the start on the opening night there will probably be the greatest array of wheel tal- ent ever witnessed in any previous similar Lindsay, the local champion light- perfecting his plans for a trip to n February. He will go under the management of a well-known Omaha sporting man, and stand ready to meet any and all comers inhis class, If there is money before the clubs out there for such pretenses as Jimmy Griffen, Lindsay should reap a bountiful harvest. All evidenco con- sidered Lindsay is as good as any light ‘weight in the country, Pugilism is again at a low ebb 1 this city, and yet no expressions of regret are heard. AU its very best, if it has such a condition, it is thoroughly demoralizing sport, aud one that cannot be too thoroughly deprecated. ‘the manly art of self-defense is all right,but when it is put into execution by a couple of the short-haired simply for the purpose of warding off the bloody onslaught of one an- other for the edification of acrowd of idle and vicious men, it 14 unother matter snd does not properly belong to any class of sport. M. J, Kettleman and E. 8. Skinner, abrace of skin sprint runners, who endeavorea to geton & race herea week or Lwo ago, but failed for the lack of a sucker, got in their work 1n great shape at Wichita, Kan,, last Friday. A would-be sport named William Trenaus was the “producer.,” He backed Skianer for $2,500, iv being fixed with Ket- tleman to throw the race, of course, which he did uot do, but ruu it out on Trenans and won. It was the same old story of the “double-cross,” and 1o get even Trenaus as- saulted Kettleman and would have shot bim had it not have been for the intervention of the bystanders. ‘There is a vast contrast between the sport~ ing arena today and that of twenty-five or toirty yours ugo. ‘Then the race courses furnished the only sporting events of the day, save now and then a prize fight or cock- ing main, while now every first class city in the Jand boasts not only of its race course, but its hall club too. There are prize fights every uight, foot ball, lacrosse, polo, rowing and yachting and & hundred wod ome other athletic aivertisements, in such quick suc- cession that it is dificult to keep tract of them. The votaries of the national game are unnumbered, and_athletic clubs and gyna- siums areto be found in every hamlet in the country. Thirty-five years ago the New York Clipper and Wilkes Spirit of the Times wero considered sufficient, to chronicla the doings of the sporting world, now there are hundrods of papers devoted exclusively to this class of literature, while the daily press give it unlimited space. Tommy Miller, formerly of this oy, fought Jem Ward at New Orleans New Year's eve and was nwarded the fight in the ninth round on a foul. Miller, however, up to this time had much the best of tho en- counter, but in this round Ward gotina killing uppercut_dropping Mi'ler to tho floor likea gob of mud. When Miller was rising *Ward dealt him another vicious blow in the neck, and the referee promntly gave the fight'to Miller. ‘Phe miil was for a purse of ForT OMAHA, Jan. 4. itor of Tie Ber: Inasmuch as W.

How do you account for the poor goose and duck shooting throughout Nebraska during the past falll [t was the worst for years. What is the difference betwoen n White- fronted and & snow goose, and a Hutchins and a Canada?—Snap Shot, Valley, Neb. Ans.—You will observe that wild fowl shooting is growing poorer and poorer here, as well as elsewhere, year after yoar, owing in a great meusure to tho absence of leal protection and the indiscrimmnate slaughter of tho birds in the spring. The cause of the Ppast season’s UBCOMMON mesgre SPOrt Was, however, on account of the scarc- ity of water and long continued plensant weather. All the difference in the world. The white-frcnted = goose, anser albifrons, is what is commonly called brant in this part of the worla, and are very similar to the Hutcuins, while the snow Roose, anser hyberoreous, 1s snowy white all over, save the fore part of the head around the eyes, which is o rusty yellow. ‘The exterior quill feathers are black, shafted with white.
