Bporting Clippings of All Kinds, Sizes and Colors—The Crack Shots of Omaha—A Batch of Intereste ing Questions Answered. The Omaha shooters acquittod themselves most creditably at the state shoot at Lincoln last week. Parmeloe and Kennedy won tho team badge shoot, with 19 out of 20, against six teams. Parmelee won the diamond badge with 50 straight. This entitles him 10 tne entrunce money in the same event ne-.t year. also won the L. C. Smith gun, th Lutchran of Lincoln on 0 out of 100, aud beat him on_the shoot off. Other lesser prizes were won by J. B. Smith, W. H. S. Hughes, Will Nason, Billy Brown, G. K. Brucher, B. Blum, Harry Clarke an Fred Montmorency. The Omaha gun club ‘will bold u big three days’ tournament at the falr grounds in Octobe!

If the purse can be raised hiere, aud [t 1s only 0, the fght will take place at Tasmania Hall, South Omaba. Breakfust for the Cranks. Eiteljorg is doing great work for Omaha, ‘The Deuvers are not hittiug the ball as of yore, Minneapolis is now ensconced in third place. Shugart is still playing a great short fleld guine, Sam La Roque is putting up a fine second for St. Paul. Kansas City has, releasad their phonom fielder, Mr. Hog. Elmer Smith is doing the best hitting of the Kausns City team, “Bug” Holliduy has boen wearing Orator O'Rourke’s smoked glasses while playiug in loft In Now York.

The stanaing of the teams will not be changed by tho transfor. In Flanagan, the O'Briens, Ryn aud Mor- risey, tho Westorn assoclation bas some strapplng big first basemen. Perry Worden was bissed for a “dirty ball” trick at St. Louls last week. And he 1s & Mound City boy at that. The ides of sticking to the old-fashioned custom of putting pitobers in to pitch because it is their turn is & very foolish oue. President Young says there are several well known men playiug this season who will be debarred from joining national agreewment clubs in the future. Sioux City bas signed Gus Krock, noted as the first player who felt the razor after the famous brothorhood one-year-straight-away- contracts proclamation. Over in St. Louis they say that Willio MeGill is a tower of strength for six or seven innings. Thero is somo talk of signing I for Omaha, but 1t is only talk. The association has thrown its declaration, “Weo won't touch players under contract,” into the waste vasket, and will make raids whorever a good player can be corraled, The Sioux City Journal gives Widner this cold roast: “Wild Bill, from Cummingsville, who nover worked aud never will, has been released. He will soon get a job—teuding bar " Pltcher Clausen, of the Milwaules com- Dination, must have evaporated and floated away iL Vapor, as nothing has been hoard of him since going to tho Hot Springs eight weoks ago, First Baseman Campion will not be re- leased by Manager Cushman until he is given a further chance to play baseball as it should bo played. At present he is doing all the fans can ask, Captain Tebeau was very foolish to write that letter home, but the fricud who betrayed nim must feel very proud of tho work. “White Wings” should have burued the missive before ho mailed it. Ryn, tho tall athlote who guards first base for the Millers,left a gilt-edged record at Mil- waukee. Ouly for his timely batting the re- sult would have been otherwise. Though not u reliablo hitter, he was in it all the timo. Georgo Tebean has beon unconditionally reloased by tho managoment of the Denver team. “Coippie” McGarr has been chosen cavtaln in Tebeaws place. Tebeau's release arose from charges mado against Manager Van Horn by the player, Jimmy Maculiar, the old Lincoln short-stop, is In big business. ' Ho is in the employ of the Amorican ussociation to induce Western assoclation players to jump their contracts. Jimmy plays the crook with tho same success he plays oall. Up to date ho hasn't secured a single player. Tho National board comos out with a bulletin warning players under contract not to listen to association tompters. They will bo ineligiblo to play with National agreement clubs in the future. Tho venal clan have neard the same story before, but it has never boen carried out. Poople who can jump twenty fect i the air and kick their ‘heels together as many times before coming down, usually travel with tho circus, but Treadway may be seen this year with the Millers' association. He is the happiest and noisest coachor in the Waestern assoclation, Tho empty benches to which the Louisvilles have been playing recently vetoken a con- dition of affairs that is growing alarming. ‘T'he receipts of yesterday's game wouldn't ay tho incidental exponses.—Lousville %0st. And this is where Dad, Josie and I2ddie threatened togo. Shoch has resigned his position as captain of tho Milwaukee club. ~ Of late they have needed disciplining, aud ne rather than gain the disfavor of his nssoclatas preferred to resign. It is generally believed that the Browers will put up a better quality of ball during the balance of the season. Larry Twitchell hus been a king bee in the fleld at Omuba snd Captain Shanuon whis- pered: “Prithee try thy arm in ye box_once wore.” He tried it and Lincoln ordered up a furniture car t carry off their carned runs.

We have been having quite a spell of “mud horse" weather of late, Binnoy street seems to be the favorite haunt of the racing mon nowadays.

A review of the two great road races dem- onstrates the fact thut the safety bicyclo is decidedly “in it,”" ordinary cranks tothe con- trar] icficon and his bugle will go down to York and help out the entertaining comuittec, “Frank” says this is an extra inducement to the boys. ‘Wonder of wonders!! *“Dad” was In town last Sunday and the aid not huve its accustomed ran. going to huppen?

He with several other clists were ridiog the sidewalks and lawns in one of the pretty little suburbs when an officer arrested the wholo party and escorted them to the village court house. While the officer was guarding the others, “Jim" light- ly mounted his steed and before the guardian of the peace discovered the stampoae he was half & wile down the road toward Chicago, The other members of the party each con- tributed §23 as a fine, Tho two great road races, which always at- tract so much attention auiong the wheeling fraterity each year, were successtully run Decoration day. ~The Pullman race at Chica- go_interests us more than any other from the fact that it {s nearer home.

Great preparations havo been made, aud auyono who attends will have the best of good times. A special train will leave Omuha on the evening of the 8d, and will land Omaba cyclists in York some time in the night.

Ci What is Lin bicycleuniforms will be full aress and quite the proper thing. Don’t se why our racing board can’t get together and hatch up something of this kind. There are cyclists enough in the west to help. out a scheme for an annval road race, and we have courses enough upon which the race could be run. Florenco would make an ele- gant course. What we need is something to give cycling a new impotus, and road_races, tournaments and meets tend to do- this moro than any other scheme concocted. T'wenty- five thousand people turned out to see tho Pullman race and wero as excited as the cyclists themselves. Apollo Cycle Observations. Peoria has a seventy-year-old Ordinary rider. Wertz will ride his Eagle in the York races. Holten and Schuell leave for Newtou, Ia., today, where they will ride several races. Waldron has given up his Ordanaire for a balloon tired sufoty.

He takes his evening rides over the Bluffs course with the boys and makes them all work to stay with him. Pixley leaves for Lincoln Wednesday, where he will ride a five and ten-mile raco with Liucolu’s flyer, Mockett. Denman goes along to look afwer Pix’s interest in the Alli- ance town. Perrigo spent soveral days in York last waek looking after the wtervst of the Omaha boys for the League of Americau Wheolmen stite meet to be held there July 4. He says itis as fine a half mile track as there is in the stato aud that -there will be fast timo wade on it. e The question is, Will they haye a team raca at York on the'Fourth of .July. Lincoln stands roady with'ateam, tho Apollos have one ready and the Oinuha’ athletic club talks of organizing onéfor the event, and as all the boys seem in favor of this move, ono should be included'ti the programme.
