e el IN WINTER'S REALY 0¥ SPORT, The 0. A, 0. and What is Going On Withi Its Walls, PUNTS AND KICKS FOR THANKSGIVING, Dick Moore Gets a Go—Buffalo Bill's Dogs — Basbeall Gossip — Wheel and Interesting Mis- cellaneous Sports, THLETICS are on the boom, there's no doubtabout that. The new Omaha Athletic club has evidontly filled a vacuum that hus existed for many years in tho city's list of divertise- ments for her young men, as the enthu- siastic crowds that nightly fill its hand- some apartments indisputably attest. And that it is not golng to prove an ephemoral fad there is every evidenco in the world, but instead, an enduring resort that will go on adding to and enlarging its capacity for good as tim wanos. Already the membership runs well up into the hundreds, embracing a large number of Omaha's most respectable and bost kuown young and middle aged business men, and so numerous aro the incoming applications as to abso- lutely and foraver remove all solicitude as to tho future success of the institution. One of the most pleusing of all the many meritorious fetures noticoublo about the club's com- pletely equipped quarters is the fact that the directory, which lucludes President George W. Ames, jr., Vice President Jotn M. Thurs- ton, Secretary Harry MeCormick, Bob Wells, Chat Redick, Bert Cook, John Thomas, C. W. Martin and J. H, McDonald, are starting out in a way to insure the fullest and most lasting success, a_statoment which is on dorsod by the fact that the project makes its initiatory bow from & thoroughly first class and inctropolitan standpoint, A de- seription of the club's elaborato and costiy equipment has already been repeatedly noticed iu theso columns, but s yot littlo has been said _with ‘referance to the provisions for employing and profiting by its atilization. In the first place the directory has 1nstalicd a goneral managor, in the person of C, D. Butler, who is responsiblo to this board for everyibing that takes pluce within any of the exercise departments, and the of- ticiont way in which he has assumed charge of these numerous details is testimony enough that the position has been well filled. Jim Hightower, a professional boxer of rare ability, presides over the department wheroin is taught the manly art of sel(-dofonse, which is one of the most populur and at- tractive branches of tho whole calisthenic curriculum, In Hightower the directory bas again domonstratea that wisdom which %0 far has governed all their proceedings. He {8 o young man, with tho combatative olood of ola Castile coursing through his veins, a good specimen of tho physical man, and one whose unything but limitea exporience within the roped arena before sturay foes has acquuinted him with all the tactics of the protession, and endowed him with a knowl- #dgo of Delsarte’s manual that well enables him to teach tho young idea how to feint, lead, purry and counter. In Mons. Hougol the ‘club has a master of the fencing art, while Prof. Brookner, as general supervisor over the wholo department of physiculture, fills tho bill to anicety. Under these auspices physical training 1 becoming quite the thing in Omaha, and true it 1s that the young gon- tleman of the day could havo no lofiier am- bition. It 13 n nice thing to know just how to handle yourself under circumstances justi fylog a liberal exercise of the biceps, & nice thing to handie the foil with dexterity, for pleasure or exercise; to kuow how to kick a foot bull, row a boat, to bowl the spheres or run, jump or walk aud hoid your own in all the requirements that go toward making up the perfect man. The athietic club is the open sesame to all these desirable accomplish- ments. It will pay the average young man, however, be he clork, student or scion of leisure, well to' remember that there has been a good deal of exaggeration in stories of Greek prowess, and they mustnot build their notions too hign. Undoubtealy we are in possession of some fawrly accurato figuves concerning tho foats of tho old athletes, but there are many absurdly false estimates of tho carly boxing, runnimg, jumping and throwing. Tho Pauhellenic games brought forward men who had been in training for great periods for special feats. The honors were such that no amount of traming was decmed too considerable, but given a rraction of their practice our modern athletes would greatly wurpass the Greek records. It tho modern horso is quicker than tho aucient, the modern man s quicker also. And even now, some of the students at tho Omaba Atnlotio club, I know can perform feats that would have astonishod un audience i the days of the Olympiad. And, as for the matter of physique, thers bas been cqually great exaggeration in that regard, Plato tells us that the sculptors took cousiderable Liberty in departing from the actual form of tho model, and many other evidences point to a relative inferior ity of the ancient races, aud no oue should doubt that the world is producing men of finer form than over, and will probably con- tinuo to do 50 0n to the end of time, and the young men of the Omaha Athiotic club sShould not despair, at loast somo of them, of reaching a plane a3 near perfection as is pos- siblo. 1t should notvo lost sight of, either, that the muscular system of man is not mado up of chest and bicops, but is a wonderful and complex organization in which one part is intimately counected and dependent on the other, and if the system as a wholo isnot kept inmind the moro strongthening of the arms will not superinduce permanent strength or vermanent health. A man muy become proficient in punching an inflated bug and yot not know how to carry his own body Physical bealth must, indeed, bocomo somo- thing woro than & more fad before our young men can do themselves justice in the sternal struggle for higher ideals. Tho su cossful aspirants aro those who pay atten tion to the evon development of the wholo body, instead of to tho oicaps and ohest alorie, and these ure tho class that como andor the head of ull round athletes, those who cultivato the brain, the hoad, tho whole body, arms, legs and feot, ns well as _any especial set of muscles, aud it is pleas- g to nvoto that most of tho students at tho local gym indulging in practico in all the dopartments, instead of confining themselves to any oue or two, Already the Omaha thletic club hasa aumber of men in the differont departments whose work will compare favorably with that of older and more exporieuced wien, In tho boxing class Leo Spratlin, Chat Redick, Charles Cralle and Bob Wells and many others have made romarkable progress under Prof. Hightower's intelligent treatment, and promise to dovelop fnto very scientific’ per. tormers with tho mits. Any ono of thom, to- day, would bo a bad man'in his olass in a serap, but of course these boys do not intend to fight, but are ouly preparing *hemselves ana gotting into condition to success- fully weet and cope with the various vicis- situdes liablo to_overtake ono any time in the course of his existonce. Kor all- round athletes Charlia Martin, Charlio Tuf- fold, Albert Heintz, Elmer Zimmerman, Bob Nicliols, Harry McUormick and Mr, Moyers are worthy exponents, Mr. Helutz has a fino record in the ‘I'urnors socioties over tho coun- iy, aud as a jJumpor and a bar porformer has but few superiors, even iu tho profeasional canks. Zimmerman is also great on tho parallel bars ana the horse, and Bob Nichols 2an vault, tumble, jump and sprint with the best of them. The directory are cousidering tho advisability of keeping & winter's rocord Of the bowlers and of awarding the momber coming out with tho best general nverago with a switable prize. The bowiing alloys are already vory popular with the membvers, ana this competition would certainly do ‘much toward incroasing Interest in this bealthful pastme. Bob Nichols is gotting up a tug-of-war team, Rob Patrick a foot ball team, Harry MeCormick a base ball team, and it'will be reaaily seon that no branch of athlotics isto be over tooked, and ou the uight of the st of January the olub will give its first formal opening, whicn is to include a full aud complete card THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1801—SIXTEEN PAGES. of athletics, from Fistiana down to a hop, skip and jump, The O. A, C. Foot Ball Team. Robert Patrick is doing a good deal of hustiing these days for a man with a gamo leg, in nis ardor to have the Omaha Athletic Club foot ball team in_readiness for the fiela Thanksgiving day. Tho prospects are that he is going to be eminently successful, as the talent for an undoubtedly strong eieven has boen banded together from among the mom- bers of tho Omaha Athletic club, Mr. Pat- rick owing to an injured foot, of course will not be ablo to play, but will act as manager and have full charge of the team in the pro liminary “course ~ of traluing and off the The mombers from whom the will be selected are ( K Villiam Doauo, Charlio Tuffeld, Jolin Patrick, A, A. Smith, C, T. Brainard, Arthur Metz, Charles Wilson, John Skor: wood, Chat Kedick, Bert Book, 13ob Nichols, Will Hoagland, E. A. Shephard, Lee Spra lin, K. Lawrence and J, H. McDonald, This list includes many old collego boys, Yalo, Harvard, Princeton and other noted schools, and thev know how toplay foot ball as is foot ball. The rush lines, seven in number, will bo selected from such stalwarts as Crallo, Doane. Patrick, Smith, Brainard, Wison, | Nichols, Sherwood, Brown and De Pocher, while for backs there are Tufield, Redick, Cook, Hoagland, Shephard and otbers, mak- ing it no difficult matter for Manager Patrick to make up a team stont enough to competo with most any that can be named. The colors of the team will be white and blue, those of the club, and the first recular match game has been fixed for Thanksgiving day at tho vall park. Next season the Omaha Athletic club expect to have grounds of their own, to be devoted to base ball, foot ball, bicycling ana field sports in goneral. Manager Patrick, while ho is 10 vowise particular against whom his team is pitted Thanksgiving day, does not expect much from it this season, owing to the lute day of getting started, and ouly looks for the boys to limber up a little, got acqumnted with one another and formulate a code of stenals for the contests to come. Mr. Patrick is unquestiouably theright man for the manage- ment, having been a student at Yale in the days of Bob Cook, the oarsman, and Kellogg, Tiompson and Harding, the foot ball experts. Ho witnessea the first foot ball game under the Rugby rules vetweon Harvard and Yalo at old Hamden park, New Haven, in 1856, and when Yale unexpectedly scored a signal victry. This memorable contest took place just siubsequent to Harvard’s victorious tour through the Cavadas. Thoy chalienged Yale to organize a toam aud give them battlo and Yale promptly acceptod, and_after but two weeks' practice the two great colloge teams met. Noone expected Yale to even make a creditavle showing, and in consequence there was no betting on the outcome and but a small crowd to see the sport. Yale won, however, almost bands down, tue achicvement being one of the cleanest cut ovor witnessod upon any field. Since then Yalo has boen in the front rank. To avoid endless contention incident to amateur contests, Manager Patrick will do well to remember that the greatest essential in governing play is that each team bo sup- plied with an’ experionced conch and a cap- tain who is o good judge of players, aud who can at all times command the obedience and respect of his men. At all games let thero be a responsiblo and competent umpire and roferce, one who can render straightfor- ward and unbiased decisions. This will ob- viate all thuse tiresome delays and petty squabblos so Irritating to tuo spectators. In foot ball, as in everything else, *‘prac- tico makes perfect.”” Without peactice, and a hard and systematic practico, too, vo_team can hope for victory. The team should be well trained and” discinlined, every player acquainting himself with the 'requirements of his individual position, particularly. “Then there 1s the team’ work. No eleven n wake any showing without good team work. *‘Weight” is a good thing, and, in- deed, a certain amount of *‘beef” i3 almost indispensible, but a light team, 1f well trained throughout and eflicient in team work, can almost invariably overcome a line of heavy weights who have had no practice, 1700t ball is bound to gain popular fayor here, and the Omaba Athletic club boys should ve encouraged in their endeavors. Whileas yot the game is comparatively new to this community and the players, in the main, somewhat inexperiencad, yet, with tho muterial that abounds and the ecuthusiasm that is everywhore present, some interesting sport may ve promised even yet this season. Let the games bo well patronized, thus lend- ing an incontive to the player: Itis not definitely settied vet just who will 0e opposed to the Omaha Athletic club team Thanksgiviug. Manager Patrick wrote to W. G. Chantiand, manager of the State University of lowa eleven, and who had a letter in last Sunday’s Ber, offering to play his team on this oc casion, and give them the entire zate receipts, vut it seems that this proposition did not meot the [owa gentleman’s view The Story of the Nonpareils. “There is oue disconsolate man in the south end of the city. Ho is “dead game”’ when o baso bail gamo is scheaulod for Nonpareil park, and not a Sunday aftornoon passed but, ho had a sparo dollar to place on the Non- parvils. This disconsolate man took a sort of parental interost in the work of Omaha's am- ateur champions, His prototype lived in St. Louls during the amateur days of tho tarico champion Browns, Tho St. Louis man i varinbly failed to count moro than cight play ors in tho team, because he ulways startod off by figuring tho “two Gileasons is one, Magner is twe, Levis is three,” and so on until tho ninth ono was missing. The disconsolato Noupareil admirer vsually fulls into the samo rror when describing his favorite team. Ho insists that “thotwo Muhoneys is one, Me Auliffo is two, my son Tom is three,” ete, But ho ‘loves the national sport, and oven mow overy Sunday aiter: uoon ho is scheduled to appear at the Pifteonth stroct park and watch tho wind chaso the withered leaves across tho fiold and around the bases.

They broke oven at Platts mouth, came howe Irom Lincom with the same record, mnd were victorious in nine teon of their games in Omaha. Only ono did they lose to aregular Omaha amateur team, and that time to the Craues at the opening of the season. A good feature of tha Nounareil games was their ndmirable team work.
