IN THE LOCAL REALMOF SPORT. | Ohat About the Geme and the Players OMAHA’S NEW ATHLETIC ORGANIZATION. Interesting Horsey Goss'p — Moy rents of the Punch The Dog and Gun and Quess tions Answer On the evening of April 3 adozen or so young men met he ors of the Omaha wheel ¢l for the purpose of forming an athietic ussociati Several hours wero spent in talking oyer the matter and at length a favorable decision was reached. Each gentleman present at that mecting went away from the club house firmly de- termined to do everything possible for the BuC s of the contemplated ory By Aptil 21 matters had progressed so nicely that the Omaha Athletic club was | corporated with fity charter members and the following named gentiemen w to fill the oftices: President, Ames: vice president, Fred S. Robbins; secretary, W. B. Beitg; treasurer, Chat Redick. A committee = was appointed to' look for grounds and & suit able club building. After a num. ber of sites and propositions had been considered, the one mado by Judge Redick was accepted. The judge proposed to erect building 44 by 70 fect ou Harncy street near Fifteenth and lease it to the elub for a term of yours for an annual rental of £2,000. Plans were made by McDonald and Ogily and on July 1 President George W. An Jaid the corner stone of the club house, The fllustration at the head of this column shows the front elevation of the building as 1t will look when completed, The home of the athletes will be threo stories high, with a front of pressed brick trimmed with dressed sandstone. The base- ment will be about balf below and half above the sidewalk and lighted by five good- windows. This will be divided in the center by & wall running the whole length. In the west half will be a fine bowlivg alley, fit up with all the latest improved applianc Iv is the intention to make this onme of the principal features of the club. A New York sporting goods house will furnish the equipment. ‘Tho east side of tho base) will ‘be takea up with bath, dre rooms and 250 lockers. Porcelain bath tubs and o tile floor will bo features of these apartments. Lurge double oak doors will guard the Havney street entrance and open into a_marbic floored vestibulo. Off from this will be a good-sized smoking room and a Inrge parlor. Ihese rooms will be elegantly furnished and_dccorated by a prominent Omuha firm, The exercise room o this floor will be 42x56 feet with a twenty-two foot ceiling. In this room will bo every thing pertaining to athlotic ap- aratus. Several eastern firms have sent n bids for the gymnastic appliances and probably $1,000 wili be spent in equipping this department of the club house. A broad oak staircase will lead from the exerciso room to the floor abeve. Overlooking the strect on the third floor will bo billiard and card rooms. The furnishings for these apar ments have already been purchased aud are as fine as can be made, Encireling tho building_on this floor will bo a balcony running track six feet wide all around. This balcony when not in uso as a track will be provided with chairs to be used by spectators and loungers who wish to watch the operations in the exercise room. At the northeast corner of tho balcony will bo a brass sliding pole leading to the main room below and at the base of the pole will be a rubber landing pad of the same pattern as is uscd at the fire engine houses “The main room will bo lighted by two sky lights ten feet square. Gas and electric lights will also bo used and the whole building will be heatea by steam. When the contract was let it called for the completion of the buildng by August 15, and the builders now say that thoy will have fin- ished their work by that time. Some little time will bo taken up in placing tho furnishings, but it is the intention to have the grand 'opening on Septembor 1. Nearly four bundred members aro now on the sceretary’s list and at overy meetiug new applicants are considered. It is expected that by the time the houso 18 opened there will be filly five hundred members, Anuual aues will not commence until Sep- tember 1 av which time the initiation fee will be raised from $5 to §25. An oxpert French fencing master and a competent gymuastic director have already been engaged. A great deal of credit is due_the ofiicers and directors of the association for their un- tiring _efforts in building the club up to its present sound financial and social basis. Creaks of the Cra: k. Milwaukee has signed “Phenom” Smith. Duluth, too, will be ready to quit in the course of 'n fow woeks. Jack Pickett is known as the trickiest man in the Western association. The Minneapolis team has seen moro changes than any elub in the west. Young Pears, the Kansas City’s pitchor, not likely to ever go in the box ugain.

Milwaukeo holds a sploudid lace fn tho pennant race. It is likely to go to the front atany time, Tho Americun association can’t be very fast this season when pitchers like Bell hold up their end in it. The Kansas City team is booked for a thorough weeding. It will be strengthened with Omaba players. Milwaukee is now pretty suro to captura the flug, that is if the wholo Western associ- atiou doesn’t go under, ‘The framers of a new Western association will probably profit by the advice the know- alls of the present outfit rejected. Colonel Strief is out in the wild west in- citing riots. So says the caustic Major Mul ford of tre Ciucibuati Times-Star iKansas City has ouly eight pitchers and not one of thém is worth a tinker’s continen tal. Even Swartzel seems to be piayed out. = Ed Cassian, tho young_pitcher doing such admirable work for the Philadelphia league team Just nOW, was on the Omaha payroll in 1888, The batting averages of some of the west- ern sluggers are takiug a big drop.

T'ho skeleton of a Johnstown flood vietim was unearthed this week on the ball grounds during A& game at that city in the valley of the Conemaugh. s Quinn has tumbled in his batting. Ho lays a strong no at second base and up his reputation as the best sacrifice hitter in the league Davis of Cieveland is not only making great record us a batter this year, but comes pretty near leading the leaguo in the « hitting record, Pete Browning was leased by the Pitts. burg club and was immediately sizned vy the Cincinpati league club, His salary will be Bob Carruthers has been doing good box work for the Brooklyn team.

Mark Baldwin deciares that he has on all occasions tried his very best to piteh a win- ning game, notwithstanding the feeling be- tween Hanlon and bimsclf, k O'Counor, the King of the Contract Jumpers, béen benched by Columbus. His conscience hus been troubling him and he tried to drown it in beer: McKean has overcome the worst weaknoss he ever had at short stop, that of being un- certain on slow hit balls. 'He picks them up as easily as the hot ones this year. Omaha will always be welcomo to a chise in the western circuit. The cause: her failure this year are too well known to cut any fignre in ber future prospec McAleer has had a swelling on his finger that Eas pained him oxcessively. He took a vacation for a couple of days, but is back 1n the field playing as phenomenally as ever. Captain Patsy Bolivar Tebeau, who has returned to guard third base for Cleveland, rapped out four singles and built himself a nice little batting average of 1,000 yestorday. Pickett has a fearfully low fielding rec rd, owing ton bad arm. His stick work, ever, helps him out, and lately there has been a noticenble improvement in bis fielding. The old stockholders are now sorer than ever. They clait that McCormick's freezing them out was the cause of baseball's down- fall in Omuha, and of course they are right. I'he Nonparcils and Falooners play at the Vinton street grounds this afternoon. Bat teries—Jellen and Lacey for the Nonpareils and Grandjean and Vapor for the Falconers, Tt would seem that financial assistance from the citizens of Lincoln had a bad effect on the farmers, for they at onco put on their toboggan suits and have” worn them ever since, Bob Leadley thinks Detroit would make a hot league town ouce again. You're right, Mr. Leadlcy, but there is very Jittle show for Detroit to get into the league” for sowe time to come. Anson is plugging the ball as well ns any mau in the country. The old standby now leads the Chicago’s in batting, and, if e con- tinues at his present clip, hie will soon lead the league. = The Chicugos are still confident of carrying off the penuint, and it behooves the castern teams to brace up in their present trip west. The Chicagos and Clevelands aro playmg great bull, “Chippy"” MeGarr plaged the best third base game of any man iu the country last sea- son, but his work_this year been rocky and uncertain, Denver is dissatisfied with his playing. “How shall [ learn to play ballt” asks a correspondent from Council” Bluffs, ~ The best way would be to watch the Kunsas Citys some afternoon and then not play it like they do. Umpire Gaffney has not been to Milwaukee or Sioux City this scason. The “fans” of tho latter place have sent a petition to President Young to send Gaifney there so they can seo how he looks. Louisville is still out with its money bags buying up contract jumpers. Fred W. Ely, the Duluth sortstop, has been advanced the money he usked to brealk faith with his pres- cut employers. Oue would nardly think that the samo boys were putting up the game for Duluth that tried or scemed to try for St. Paul, The old saying, “A chunge of pasture maukes fat calves,” fits here Childs is the fastest base-runner for a man of his build and weight thut cver played baseball. The “IKid” takes most excellent care of himself, for he says he wants to be in the game for soveral years in the future, Harry Spence is accused of findine Rusie, Some of Spence’s tors would like to find him and wallet full of greenbacks. Ban- croft found Rusie w Indianapolis in 1880 the year after Spence mismanaged the club, Anson is_gewing wealthy, There was a timo when Anson could spend all of his sal- ary, and more too, but swce his marriage ho has'soaked v a dollar away for a ramy day. He recontly bought a piece of Chicago preperty for £60,000.

"He had an old_score to settle with President Parsons and adopted this method of getting even. Stuff! No matter what work a pitcher does, he is likely to get the crowd down on him if lie has an off day. Swartzel, wio has done almost all the winning for Kansas City, was hissed there last week when Milwaukeo vatted hin hard. That was a pretty tough comumentar, of the Kunsas City crowd. Ball players ought to seo that reputation for good conduct both on und off the field s becuming u very great factor in the worth of aplayer. The public is readior today to cen- sure o player who won't recognize playing rules and good moral principles than it ever was. Thnis is significant to ball players, Jim Hart thinks Hutehinson is the best piteher m the country. He is certainly one of the best, but Clarson is still as good as they make 'em. Rhines, too, would be a daudy in a winning team. Rusio has _about the best pitehing record up to date, and he is certainly as effective as any man in the busi- ness. Otiver Perry Beard and White Wings Te- u foll upon each other's neck the day O. P, joived the Denvers at Kunsas City and Swept & good while” When White Wings was fired from Cincinnati he swore by the shades of the Bellevue house that he'd never leave tho city until ho had beat Porry’s neck off. There will be many league clubs ahead at the end of the season, but New York and Chicago will probably make the most money. Boston and Brooklyn will' quit good winners if they piay winuing ball, and it scems to be an “if" with all the othor clubs, Philadel- phia has not a heavy salaried team. and they are bound to make & hittle money. The riot alarm was sounded at Columbus on Friday nignt. President Kramer of tho association expelled Jack O'Connor, without o trial, for “nabitunl drunkenness.” The Columbus club directors are red-hot, and the crunks who spoko lovingly of the association’s chief oficial now charge him with exceeding his authority: The case has not been settled, It will be reopened even if Columbus has to use a can of dynamite, Thomas Jefferson Lovett, the young man who shut the Giants out without a hit the other day, is here with the Brooklyns today aud tho Inter-Ocean saysof nim: *“Thoso who have never seen Thomas are informed that he 18 a chunky person with hair and eye like a Saxon baby aud a right arm like the fag ond of & base-burner.

A fow days later Mr. Morris was visiting Captain Brown’s stable and there saw a saddle cat n the same way as his own. He exclaimed: “‘Here, Rogers, how is this! D've got a saddle cut just like yours. How do you account for it?’ “Why,” replied Rogers, “it's that d——d ‘Snapper; healways jabs his spurs into the saddle pads when he curls himself up for a Garrison fin Sallie C, the gray paciug mare owned by E.

The scales upon which were weighed the barrels of iron lifted by the men showed that Mitlcr tivped them at 214 pounds and Cyr at 301 pounds Mil- ler's dumbuell weighed 23217 pounds, and this he raised with both hands. Yet it was casy work for Cyr to lift it above his head no less than four times in quick succession with only one arm. In commencing the back lift both men raised 1,700_pounds, then 2,000, then 2400, and here Miller quit, whilo Cyr piled on the weight until he lifted 3,192 pounds. When it came to Jifting a barrel of cement, Cyr easily put 314 pounds upon his shoulder with one arm and without the help of his kuees. The stoncbreaking contest and tho lifting of a heavy barrel by the chime was won by Miller. In these cases, however, it was evident that Miller had cavefully pra ticed the tricks ired to win a contest, and Cyr readily acknowledged that his op: ponent could do better than he.
