SPORTS OF WANING SUMMER, Jack Davis and Billy Woods to Collide Tomorrow Night. A SAD CASE OF BASE BALL DELIRIUM, Omaha's Fancy Canines—The Bykers' Budget — With Dog and Gun nd Breezy Local Gossip. O, tomorrow night is the night whon Jack Davis, Oma- ba's heavy weight pugilist, and Billy Woods, Denver's as- pirant for champion- ship honors, meet, isit! Well, it will be fight, thero's no doubt about that, and Jack’s hundreds of admirers here will anxiously awalt nows of tho result. Tho battle is to take place i the Pacific club, San F'rancisco, and 1 for a purse of $2,500, and no fight outside of those between Corbett and Jackson, Kil- rain and Godfrey and Dempsey and La Blanche, bas created more excitement and speculation among the fancy of the coast than this, They are banking on & great battle, and probubly wrill not be disappointed. Cali- fornians have seen Davis perform, and couse- quently have a very hoalthy regard for him, They saw the pride of the coast, Joo Choynski, parrowly escape defeat at his hands, in fact, it is claimed, and on good grounds too, that §t was not the long arms and knotty dukes of the doughty Bohemian that pulled out that purse for him, but the gong which anpounces the beginning and ending of each round. The manipuiation of this had been so0 admirably arranged that it ingeniously prolonged the three minutes in which Choynski was get- ting tho bost of it, and abreviated the period in which the Omaha man was proving him- self & hara citizen. In the fifth round Jack had his man done, he was groggy and help- less, and one more punch would have broven 8 sure enough narcotic, but just as Davis was about to hand 1t to him, the gong sounded, fully three-quarters of a minute before timé was up. T'his proved Choynski’'s salvation, The allotment of a little extra time for rest vled Joo's friends to shape bim up won- derfully, and from that on he fought the battie out on different tactics from those which marked his movements from the beginine. Davis had started 1 on tho burricane style, and Choynski being un- S & prevared for such treatment had the hands of a comparatively unknown man, would surely havo been beéaten had it not been for the unmistakable warning he received in the fitth. After that he stood off and allowed Davis to outtight himself, then at the oppor- tune moment, -sailed in and put on the kibosh. In the nrst five rounds it was Greek agoinst Greek, Choynski fighting in much the same style as Davis. However, be that as it may, the club patrons are all ugog over the conflict of tomorrow night. Up to within the past week Davis has been a prime Tavorite at ull the resorts,andas a result there bas been but little betting, the Woods fol- Jowers demanding preposterousodds. In the last few days, though, there has been a marked change and the sentiment prevails that Woods is a very likely young fellow and that his chances are not nearly so meagre as at first !llgpotedA He is training at Sansalito. along with Reddy Gallagher, ho is preparing for his fight with Young fitchell, and the reports have been coming in that he is showing up in wonderful form. Being a bealthy, robust youth, he takes nat- urally to training, and is said to be, so far as ical preparation goes, perfection itself. Bl thess reports have not begot sufticient gonfidence awong Billy's supporters to in- duce them to lay much money—in fact, none &t all on even terms—on the outcome, Davis still rewains clese at his quarters on the Jose road quietly fitting himself for a knock-out condition, under the intelligent mentorship of his brother Charles, Danny Needham and Australian Billy Smith, who whipped Tom McCarty last Tuesday night. It goes witnout saying thathe is in fine fettle, and that when he steps into the ring tomorrovr night he will be fit to fight for a man’s life. Just before leaving for the Slope Jack tola the writer that of all the fights he had ever been in, this is the ono he wanted to win. It1s more money than either man has ever fought for, and the feeling between ther 15 not exactly of a dove-like character. In any event, somebody is going to get hurt, but Jack 1s my choice for a winner. It Was a Killer. The rearganization of the Omaha ball club has done more to damage the interests in the gamo in this city than any one other thing, oxcepting the wrecking of the old club in July. After this had been accomplished, and It was ascertained beyond any manner of doubt that the members of the old club could not be retained, the game should have been dropped, absolutely, for the rest of the soa- son. This was the urgont advice of Ti BEE, and the probablo results wero specific- ally pointed out. The importunation of President Krauthoff and the other clubs, provailed, however, and the ill-advised scheme was pushed forwara. This was made possible, though, only by the promised Rid of Hy Hach of thé Miuneapolis club, Dici Mulcaby of the Sloux Citys, President Gilletto of “the Milwaukees "Pres. Pack. ard and John Speas of the Kan- sas Citys. Theso gentlemen put @Bown their nawes for $500 E‘th. then the city was canvassed and about $1,500 was raised. This latter subscription, however, was all that ever materialized with the exception of & couple of hundred dollars from Sioux City, and Denver's and Kansas City's full quota. Shortly subsequent Minne- apolis threw up the sponge and Hach refused to put up a penny of his Owaha sub- ~¢gcription; then Milwaukee jumped to the Auorican, and Gillette went back on his do- nation, and the result was that the Omaha club found itself subsisting on wind in less than three weeks after its advent into life, TThe inevitable consequonce was the complete collapse of ten days ago. Theonly wonder is that manager Leadley was enabled to keop the club in existence as long as he did. This ‘whas a bitter and expensive experience to sev- eral local partics, and they now see the folly of tho undertaking at the start. But it is too 1at for lamentations or regret. The work has been done and there is & nuriber of orstwhile rank enthusiasts in the sport who wouldn't touch it again with a tou-foot pole. They were honest aud earnest 1n their efforts to rebabilitate the game bere, though, and are_entitled to the fullest meas: ure of credit. They hoped to sustain the reputation of the town as being a live and prosperous burg and able to maintamn any enterpriso 1 which 1t entored, ana itisa pity thoy failed. Mr. Hach and Mr. Gillette, as a grand denouewent to the muddle, will be made to show in the courts why the mouuts subscribed by them are not collect- ble. The Plot Continues to Thicken, From tho tone of the base ball press throughout the west the prospects for a new Mssociation out this way next year looks slim Indeea. PresidentSpeas and the stockhoiders pf tho Kaneas City club are already casting bheir lives for a berth somewhere next sea- bon, and they claim that the bars to the Amberican association will be let down for thom. Speas has had several conferences with the boss dundertiead, Chris Von der Abe, of the association in the last weok, and rofesses much jubilation over the chances or his club. Tho St. Louis papers however, 0 not justify Johunie's elation. The Globe- Domocrat swys : 4, “President Speas of the Kansas City club S arrived in St. Louis yesterday morning and witnessed the gamo ‘botween the Baltimores and Browns from Prosident Von der Abe's box. fle came here to arrango for a series of pxhibition games between the Browns and Kansas Citys, to 0o played after the close of the chawmpionship season, aud incidentally to Mscertuin what chance there was for Kansas City to secure an American association fran- ohise. The dates for the gamoes were arranged, aud he was given to understand , In the event of St. Louls aud Balumore drawing from the association to enter the league, iKausas Uity would bave & chance ~ 80 euter the charmed circle.” From this 1t would seei that tha cowboys THE chances are not overly brilliant, for It is ex- tromely problematical wher there will be any Aditions to the lesgue (n another yoar. The The St. Louis Ropublic even goes farther and pokes all sorts of fun at Kausas City aod hor base ball aspirations, and says that the village on the Kaw has no show for a place in tho association as long as Chicago and Brooklyn remain on earth, and wants to know what {s the matter with Omaha, Lin- coln, Sioux City_and other metropolitan wostern cities, ~Theso ploasantries had a bad effect on the Kansas City Times' young man. and he irately declares that “‘the ite- public knows no more about what is going to happen in the base ball world_than a Kansas coyote, and when President Speas says that Kansas City has a chance to get in the Amer- ican assoclation he very probably knows what he is talking about.” Another stack of whites, ploase. The Banner Base Ball Mess. The Don Quixote war in tho Westorn asso- ciation is being still fiercely waged. To tho cranks familiar with ali the phases of the campaigu it has beon an amusing one, but thoe grand finale is most ludicrous, The once powerful (1) organization has actuaily seeped away until but two clubs remain, that 1s, but two clubs which will finish thé season, Kansas City ana Sioux City, Sinco the final bust up of the Omaha club, Denver has been arbitrarily and unjustly kicked out into_the cold world. Howaver, she claims that sho is still in the fight and’ her team will report daily on their grounds for each game schod- uled there, and if sho finds no team there to do her battle, the game will be hers 9 to 0, according to all rules and regulations, Presi- dent Packard declares that his team will bo kept intact and all salaries paid in full to the legitimate closo of the season. and that at the end he will claim the pen- nant, and it 100ks as if his claim must stand, He cannot loose a game under tho pros- ent status of things, and the oleven straight games scheduléd for Denver will #1ve them the championship by a clear mar- gin. Packard declares that if thero 1s a post- season or world’s championship series played with the National league_winrers it must be played with his team. On tho other hand Kansas City and Sioux City are determined to play out the remaining games between them- selves and the team that comes out with the best percentage shall be awarded the championship, and have the call on = the world's series with the chawpions of tho league. Johinnie Speas and Count Mulcahy say that Denver should have been built somewherein Kansas or lowa if she wanted to remainiin the Westorn asso- ciation unul the lermlnm.lon of the season of 1501, and Packard gets back at them with the assortion that neitier one of these states would make a good suburb for Denver. Was there ever such another mess in base balll Since writing the above Sioux City_finished the season nlone by herself, and Mr. Mul- caby will award his team 'the pennant as so0on ho can have one made. Kansas City has joined Denver in the grand kicking match, but Mulcahy is on top. Two Sets of Champions. Sloux City claims that she has made ar- rangements to play the Chicagos a series of games during the reign of the corn palace. Auson, however, denies this, butsays he will, in all probability, meet the western champions, in case an understsmding is not reached with the American association. In such an event he would prefer a whack at the champion assoctation team. If no settle- ment s effected with the latter body, how- ever, how will the winners of the Western association be determined upon. Denver, by the system of forfeited rames she is now' en- joying, must certainly emerye from the strife at the close of the séason with tno highest oorcentage of won games, which will give ner the pennant. But Kausas City and the Corn Huskers nave played out the season all by their loneiies, and Sioux City de- clares ~ that she has now the ~bunt- ing. It is o stupendous problem, and the great board of mis-control alone figure out the solution. But_ it is & shabby way, in any eveat, to treat the second big- gest base ball organization on earth, isn't it! As it now looks there are bound to be two sets of Western iation champions. Tom Eck's Big Venture. Madison Square Garden, Now York, Sept. 16.—To the Sporting Editor of tho Ben: As 1 told you when in Minneapolis at the Fitz- simmons-Hall fight that I was going to have the greatest sis-day bicycio race ever run in the world. Youseel am hera and have closed the contract for the garden and have everything i fino shape for the big event. I have the following crack entries from this country and Europe, us follows: Thomas English, North Shields, England; Willie Wood, North Shields, England :Thomas. Battensly, New Castle, England; W.

This makes the greatest fleld of racing men over eutered for a singlo profossional vace. The track will be the same size as that in the Coliseum in your city, but the turns will be raised four inches to the foot, which will make this track much faster. The race starts October 18, at 12:05 midnight. If possible a six-day race will be arranged with the most of these men for Omaha sometime in December, that is 1f T can offer suficient inducements for then to go so far west. Yours traly, Tox Eck. Great Danes in Omaha. Hal McCord, through Charlie Sabins of the Diamond, who is unquestionably the best lo- cal authority on the German mastiff, has just imported a magnificent specimen of this royal breed, at a cost of §150. *“Thoros,” is a tiger striped groat Dane, ten months old, thirty- five inches on the 'shoulder, stick measure, and weighs 130 pounds. Ho i & superb ani- maland possibly the superior of any Great Dane owned in this part of the country, There are but three other specimens of tho thoroughbred German mastiff owned in this aty beside Thoros. Dan Allen by Pluto, out of Jeannette, is owned by Jack Morrison. He 13 a fine fellow. He is sixteen months old, thirty-five inchos at the shoulder and weighs 150 pounds. Nanon, a beautiful blue bitch, hv Major outof Juno, is the property of Charlie Sabins. She is' thirty-four and one- half on the shoulder, weighs 140 pounds and is not quite fourteen months old. The other dog, & white and black, and also a splenaid specimen 1s owned by Charlie Kosters. This is the dog brought over from Germany by Fred Krug this summer, but his pedigree is not at hand. * The Kennel Club's Work. The Omaha Kennel club, notwithstanding it has not been heard from in any measurable extent recently, is still in a healthful aud flourishing condition, New members are being admitted every week and by next spring the organization will be strong enough t0 justify somothing elaborate in tno bench show line. There has been a noticeable growth in the interest of fine dogs since the organization was formed, and every effort will bo made to maintain’ and increase this feeling. There is no fancy in the world that gives greater pleasuro than dogs, and they may be made to pay well. In fact, there is money in breeding dogs for market, and con- siderable fortunes have been wmade in the ousiness. But, of course, it is with this as with everything olse—intelligence and pains- taking effort are essential to success, Miscellancous Local Sports. From the present abundance of water in all the lakes aud streams, sportsmen aro counting on great gooso and duck shooting this fall. Pat Allen, formerly of this city, fought George Lear at Leadville last Wodnesday night'and knocked him out after s terriftic battle of sixteen rounds. The Omaha Pet Stock association has ap- pointed & committee to take the preliminary steps toward an exhibition some time auring the winter, probably in December. Teal shooting is fairly good, mornings and evenings, at most all of “tho adjacent waters, Some falrly good bags have been made at Houoycreek, Horseshoe and Cut-off lakes. J. K. Burkett of the Roadster olub roports that the formation of a similar organization OMAHA DAILY BEE, will be eftocted in the Bluffs, and that an in teresting oxohange of meetings will bo the consequence, Jack Davis has beon tondered an offer of £3,000 to meot the winuer of the Gibson-Wil- liams fight, whieh takes place at Ogdon this month, and win or loose with Woods tomor- row night, ho says ha will accept Pat Killen, formerly of St. Paul, but who now resides in New York, writes his old backer, Ed. Rothery of this city, that he will win nis fight with Bob Farguson, October 10, or retire from the ring forover. A. Kerner Is the propriotor_of one of the best bred pointers, Jupitor Bang, owned in Omaba. He is by Devonshire Sam, out or My Queen, with the blood of the great Cham- pion Sensation coursing through his veins. Ed. Krug escorted a party of ichthyological artists down to Nispabotna last Tuesday, and on Wednesday they made a famous Gatch of bass, M.

The birds rarely drop down here bofore the last of September. The trouble is that the average gunner who goes a-fiold these days doesn’t know a Wilson jack from a yellow-leg or tip-tail. Tho late Dantel S. Parmeles was a sport ran of the old school, Hewas a charte member of the original Omaha Gun club, along with Judge Kennedy and other well known old citizens, and was an export with either shotgun or rifle, The closing fall meeting of the Union Park Trotting and Kunning association will be held at the Council Bluffs course, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and_Friday, October 20, 21, 22 and 23, There will be a grand list of entries and four days of good sport Poto Simpson, an_invetorate sportsman, has just returned from a hunt in the north- western part of the state. He reports the prospects for the approaching wild fowl sea- son to be unprecedentedly good, as already there has been aa unusual incoming of teal and mallara, Billy Thompson, Frank Withnell and Warren Finch of 'this city, and Al Lomax and Bob Douglas of Lexington spent several aays camping last week near the latter placo. They returned Saturday with a wagon load of game. including 124 chickens and any quantity of smaller game. 1t is no more than just to Fred Fuller to stafe that ho mado his scores at tho lato tournament of the Schutzenverein under un- favorable circumstances, He had been suf- fering from a cold for a week, and on_the last day, whon he shot his race with John Pelty, was nervous and unsteady. Mr, Ful- ler will insist on another crack at the cham- pion before the <now begins to fly. Jack Prince, the bicyelist, has turnod up in Des Moines, und the first coal train is liable w0 ring him here, The Register says of him: *John S, Prince, known to all wheelmen as the champion long distanco rider of the world, was the contral fizuro of a group of wheelmen who assembled at the fair grounds track Sunday morning. Just for exercise Mr. Prince rode around the track with the Day enport boys, one of the latter taking tho place of another as bo became winded or tired. Thus the champion tired out the whole crowd one by one, and then after his last competitor dropped out he gave an exhibition of fast nding. His endurance was wonderful, the exertion scarcely producing an irregulurity in his breathing, but leaving him as fresh and chipper as a spring chickon after a rain.” three Snorts of the Charlie Horse. St. Louis has released Catcher Dell Dar- ling. King Gaffney has been league's umpire s taft. Dan Shannon has again donned a base ball uniform, and is making his customary one and two errors daily. Dad Clarke, since hie landed in Oswego the last time, has been as dead to the base ball world as if he was under the sod. The Milwaukees broke the record of run gettiug for tnis year the other day, securing thirty-three runs off Dan Shannon’s Wash- ington gang. Frank Ward, who played such a stiff game for the late lamented Millers, has failed to keep pace with the_Pittsburg Smoked ital- ians and was released last week. . Deacon Griffin has finally faded from view at Washington, and thus another of the old Omaha team has met bis reward. Sandy was a star out here, but he didn’t shin2 long 1n the orient. Schriver, the old Milwaukee catcher doing about the best back stop work in the league. Vickery, the delivery end of the old battery, is up with the big'ones too. Out of six games he has lost but one. What is the matter with Cooney! He hasn't taken part in the last haif dozen games plaged by Chicago—Dahlen has been pluying short. It is probable, however, that the in- jury Snapper Nava received last week was mors lasting i its offects than was at first supposed. The Kansas City-Sioux City series for the Western association championship closod according to Mulcaby’s edict last Fri- day, according to an agreement between themselves. Denver will go on, however, to the legitimate close of the season, and claim every game for which she was originaly seheduled. Bob Leadley said the sight of a man pass- ing the hat around in the grand stand at Sioux City for subscriptions to help out Omaha was a picture that made him blush. Wut it was true, and quarters and dimes and nickels were deposited in the cady to the tune of $15.75, but Manager Bob réfused to accept them After the season is tinished representatives from Hastings, Fremont, Plattsmouth, Beat- rice, Kearney, Grand Island, Nebraska City and Blair will meet for the purpose of seeing what can be done towards organizing a state league for next season. Omaha might as well get in line, for the prospects for professional ball next season are poor indeed. Kansas Uity has demonstrated her knowl- cdge of first-class ball players by the en- gagement of big Sam Dungan and~ Pitcher Stein of the disbanded Omabas. Dungan since his connection with the two clubs has built up a batting average of .350 and leads the Western association. His fielding, too, hus boen par excellence itself. Stoin, too, has done extraordinary work in the box, and, with the excoption of his first game in Kau- sas City six weoks ago, has never been nit in a single game for more than eight Lits. The Cowboys have undoubtedly a strong man ia the ex-Chicagoan. Whisperings of the Wheel. J. Rumel is very ill at lis home. H. K. Smith is wrestling an attack with of typho-malaria. Eddie Gyger has taken to tho wheal again and the active ranks hail him with dolight. W. J. Morris leaves this week for an ex- tended trip thromgh the Dakotas and Wyom- ing.
