16 A DOG DAY SPORTING BUDGET. Interesting Facts Abont Omaha's Re- organiz:d Ball Team. BIENNIAL CF AMERICAN SPRINTERS. A New Shooting Pork—The Slaughter of the Chicks—Cycling Breezes— The Bruisers—Local Sports ing Gossip of All Kinds, ell, it does look after 1l as if Omaha was to have a ball team yet this season that the exacting crank may woll be proud of. Inis is all (in consonance with what might be expected of such an enterprising, inteili- most gent and tireless manager as Bob Leaale He has made a success of every club with which ho was ever associated, and Omaha will be no exception to the rule. Poorman, Fee, Powell and several more of the men who began with the newly organizad club at Milwaukee will be dropped, in fact the three first nawed been let out and new men signed to fill their placcs, The lutest additions —are O'Nell, the Manchester pitcher, wko cost the manageme it & pretty penny: 1op Smith,the old Boston second baseman; Javk Coleman of the Pittsburgs, and possibly Billy Kuehno, the German count, who last seuson was ranked with the best third busemen of the country. Kuehne has just been let out by Columbus to make room for Jimmy Donuel and it is safe to say the Buckeyes will regre the change. While Donneily is all rigit in fielding nis position, Kuchne s worth a balf dozen of him at the bat. In addition to these men, Manager Leadley Is al<o nogotuting with George Edward Andrews of Mike Kelly’s Cincinnatis and Billy Alvord and Mika Slattery of the Washingtons, with vrospeets of fustening outo oue or two of them. In uny event Omal patrons can rest assured that they a to have no bum job lot palmed off ou them for the bulance of the season, notwithstand- ing the exigencies of the case, but jnstead as fine a team of ball players as were ever congregated togetker i such a sbort time. 50 far, of course, the newly organized team has met naught but reverses,but when Lead- ley gets the full complement of mea he is after, victory will come about as often as in the old duys,und if they have lost hopes of the pennant, the Lambs will eive them all an ex- citing chase down to the wire any way. The of the local admirers of the sport just 18 tolend every assistance within their power to further the interests of the new club, and in 1o better way can they do this than by turning out en masse on the opening day bere, President Hal McCord is a gen- ticman worthy of every respect; ho is a safe man and a competent one,and will exert him- self to the utmost to give Omaha the stan- dnrd of base all she is entitied to. Profssional Sprinters Mect. A number of well known sporting men are interesting themselves in the matter of secur ing the bi-ennial sprinters meet for Omuha this full. There are several other citics, no- tably Boston und Buffalo, making a lively bid for the runners’ assembly, but as the Gate city has the call of the Knights of the ciuder path themselves, it is more thun prob- able that it will meet here, 1 it does, Sun day, October 8, is the day likely to be tixed upon_and the fair grounds the place of the meeting. This meeting, which is held every two years, is for tha champiouship of Amer- fea, and js run over a spirit level track at 75, 100'and 120 yards, the championship and prizes to be decided by points. To secure the meeting for this city it is necessary to guar- anteo at least $100 in cash or prizes, and de- fray the expenses of advertising, which can be doue without question. It will be a new species of sport for Omahba and ean be brought to a very successful issue, if prop- erly hundled, there is little doubt. * Botn the starter and pistol firer must be brought from abroad, and will be either Joo Wilson of St. Louis, who started the events at the Mound city two years age, or Harry Weldon, sport ing editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, ic kuowledged to be tho best pistol fiver in the country. Harry Bethune, the preseat cham- Dion, toether with Captain Joe Forsyth of Buffaio, called on the sporting editor yester day ‘and gave him u list of the starters booked for this fall's championship races, ot an entrance fee of 310 each: Bethune, the present holder of the medal, and who has Tocated in Omaha, heads the list himself, fol- lowed by James Collins of Edgerton, Wis.; James Quirk, Branford, Canadas J. L. Ryan, San Francisco,Cal. 3 erd Pulley, Shenandoah, Ia.; Clem Hough, Des Moines, Ia.; Con Hunuley, Huron, 8. D.; Billy Ross, Council Bluffs, and James Whitney ™ of Salem, this state, In addition to these there will be fully as many more, whose numes are at this tme un nable. ' The championship events will be run under the Sheflield, England, rules, a synopsis of which follows: Any man eutering under an assumed name shall bo disquahified; going before the pistol is fired one-yard handicup for the first offense, two yards for the second and disqu lification for the third; disqualitication for fouls, such as nindering or iuterfering with a competitor; the track must be staked and roped; also must be u spirit-level track, with measure- ment sworn to, and all records made to be ofticial. Besides the chumpionship events there will be u regular cara of side runs, matehes, handicaps, ete. It is safe to say that every sprint runuer of any prominence in the country will be here, if Omaha secures the mect, and many of the best known ama- teurs, 100, among whom might be mentioned Luther Car mythe and others, Hob 1 Marks, It will be observed by the additions that are boeing made almost every twenty-four hours to Omaha's new ball team, what Man- ager Leadloy is focusing auite an aggregza- tion, and 1t can be depended on that by the time he reuches Omaha, one week from to- morrow, be wiil be at the head of a team that will be uble to give any in the Western assceiation a run for their mouey. As before futimated in these columns, Bob Leadley has no superior in the country as a basebull man ager. He possesses an inexhaustible fund of fuformation about players, and recognizes a good picce of timber the moment his eves fall upou it Itwould be unreasonubie, how- evor, to expect much from the reorgunized Lambs for the balanco of the season; the orunks should be satistied, thankful, that they have gotten at all, and bufld their bope: the seison to come, Under the un- very Aces stunces, considering thut this is the thickest of the fight in all the d for peunants, and that good ball p! aro scarce as hou's teeth, Manager Leadley has doue well in gotting ' together tho players he has. As soon 4s they have had a little prac- 1ico together they will ba about us apt to kuock out u victory us auy of the rest of them, Tho new team will be on the horue grounds for the first time oue week from Tuesduy, August 11, and on this oceu- sion every ball crank in the eity should turn out and give the a royal welcoime he man who would criticiso or belittlo the pres- ent team at this time is an encmy to the game, Was [0 Al 4 Blufy Now they all suy that the order to the ex- Omaha players was simply *a bluff.” If that is so the national board was in. pretty bad straits.
