THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, L e BASE BALL ANEAD FOR ONAHA Local Parties Will Attend the Ohicago Meeting and Arrange for a Olub, WILLIAMS AND HART BOTH TALKING. lon Held and Varled Opinions the it Magnates—St, Line—Sporting on Ones more Omaha’s prospects for base ball are excoedingly bright, tho new proposed central league, with 1ts low salary limit, having imbuod & npmbor of well known gentlemen with the old time enthusmsm, and if the proposed cirouit goss throuzh Omaha will be onio of thecities beyond the shadow of 8 doubt. The scheme is looked upon as o most feasible and auspicious one, and no ef- fort will be spared by the local parties inver- ested to bring it to a successful Issue. Thers will be four delegates go over to the Chicago meoting next Thursday,and as thoy are gentlemen thoroughly conversant with the sltuation here, there is every probability that Omaba will be properly cared for. Tho names of the parties who will onco moro assume the responsibilities of restoring the great game here aro witnheld, for tho present, for prudential reasons, but the patrons of tho gawe need be in nowise apprehensivo but what the s intorests will be well 1vokod to, and as the now leaguo looks like a foregone conclusion, it 1s safe to say that Omaha will have a sood team in 1892, and that a season of prosperity is be- foro them. And wha will bave the new association Columbus, Toledo, Indianapolis and Detroit in the east, and Milwaukeo, St. Paul, siinneapolis, Omaha and Kansas City iu the west. Theso are nine of the best and liveliost and most progressive cities m the union, and if they are unablo to support teams on the cconomical basis proposed, it will be astonishing indeed. t a circuit TWO CHICAGO OPINIONS. d ¥ t Talk of the Assoclatl 81— [ local papor says: from Philadel- Williams p New United Caicago, 1L, Dec. gram to Tue Bee,]—A The story telngraphed phia rogarding the formation of a new base ball league, to fill the wap caused by the amalgamation of the American association and the National league, 13 con- sidered very flimsy by gentlomen who aro now under the wing of the new twelve-club organization. Other peoplo said to be on the inside say it is sigmificant and declaro there will be a strong eiwgnt-club league competing with the new twelve-club organization. George Williams, creditod in the dispatches referred to as being one of the most euthus- iastic men in the scheme, said in an inter- view: *Ihave played one short and pic- turesque enzogement os a base bail magnate, and that is enough for me, However, I be- lievo thero 1s & move under way to form & league consisting of eight of the strongest base bali towns in the United States, ana of course to get the strongest Chicago woald have to be ou tho list, but I will not be mixed up in ony more dickers., The con- solidation of league and associa- tion was A move thatinvited compotition, and inside of two years base ball will be 1n the same rut that it emerged from at In- dianapolis. Moveyed men all over the coun- try interested in” the game are willing to stake good clubs. 1 will wager that I can get subscriptions for $50,000 stock for a base ball club in Chicago to fight the new consoli- dation inside of the next twenty-four nours.” President Hart of the Chicago b, sai “There in no dangerof any other league coming into the field. The parties that were interested in the American association, and were bought out, could not engage in the business if they wanted to, as they agreed to leave base ball alone for five years when they were bought out.”” There is a_discrepancy in the storics told by Messrs. Hart and Willinms., The former states that when the local team was bought out, the good will went with tho bargain Mr, Wilhums says there was no such condi- tion in the transaction and he is free to have a team play in Chicago if he sees fit, 1t is not probable that Mr. Williams will exercise this option, but it will not be surprising if some of his associates tried a hand at the game again to get even with the association. TWIN CITIES AWAKE. Active Steps to Join the New Base Ball League Are Being Taken, Sr. Pavr, Minn., Dec, 81.—|Special Tele- gram to Tur Ber.]—The St. Paul Western association franchise has been turned over to John M. Bennett, the well known Minne- apolis base ball enthusiast. Mr. Beunett is backed to the extent of §100,000 by a leading capitalist and St. Paul men will take stock, but Mr. Benuett and his backer insist on re- taining a controlling intorest. Sam Morton, who was to-have managed the Chicago American association team, is bere and negotiutions are being made to make him manager of the new club. Mr, Bennett will attend the Chicago moeting, January 7, and will urge that the monthly salary limit shall not exceed 81,500 or $2,000. He wiil also favor a single season of five months instead of two soasons of two and one-half months as pro- posed by the big twelve club-league. {1 is stated that both the Minneapolis and St. Paul delegates will favor a league com- R’w of Kansas City, Omaha, St. Paul, inneapolis, Milwaukce, Indianapolis, De: troit and Columbus. Magnates VAN HEEST BESTS TWO, Little Featherwelght Annihilates Rouls and ux ln Four Rounds, Cuicaco, 11, Dec. 31.—Johnuie Van Heest successfully stopped two lightweight pugil- ists at Wost Twelfth street ‘Turner hall last night. He had agreod to stop them in eight two-minute rounds, devoting four rounds to each man. Had he failed he would have for- feited $100. - Joe Rouls was the first to face the little fighter. The first round was de- void of action, but the second was a rustier, Van Heest slammed his man in the neck, swiped him in the jsw and played checkers ‘with his ribs. Around the ring went Rouls, stageering like & drunken man. Before the timer's wateh had marked one minute Rouls threw up his hands, He had had enough. The second pugilist was not so oasy to dispose of. He was Joo Geroux, and he started out with the dash of a Minnesota cyclove. He had hardly shaken hands with Johnnie when he cut loose his right and swung it into a uiche on Van Heest's jaw. ‘Then Johnnie's blood boiled and he usea Geroux’s face for a punching bag and made & drum of his stomach, It was a hot round, but Van Heest bad the best of it. Joseph, in the second, swung again, but Van Heest ked him'in the neck, Thon ho jurred his jaw and rattied hia teeth. Joe became &roggy, and an upper cut sent him to the floor. ~ Just as he was about to be counted out he oame to the front and fought like a madman. But Van Heest finished him be- fore the second round was done. Other bouts preceded tho double contest. % Two Pugilistio Fiascos, Nkw Youx, Dec. 81.—There will be no sparring contest between Petor Mabor, tho Irish champion, and Jack Dempsey at Madi- son Square garden or elsewhere January 14, 1t has been declarea off because of the polico order in vegurd to “'kuoeking out’’ matches, Frank P. Slavin hus recelved a message from George Plesse, at Moate Carlo, stating that he could not back the fighter in Amerioa, Notwjthstanding this, Siavin he can find stakes for a battle with Sullivan, ¥ight in Prospect. ©migAao, Ill., Dec. 81.—The Metropolitan club of New Orleans today wired an offer of ® $3,000 purse for a fiulsh contest betwoen Tom Ryan of Chicago, the welter weight auulon. and Danny Needham of San A The Calforoia Atblotio and Pacitio clubs of 'Frisco, 1t s said, were bid- ding azainst otber for the contest and . rup the figure up to §2,000, when the fil!ln tepped 1 und raised the purse o Ryan sigued and will for- ward & forfelt tomarrow, Kywo will moot Noadham for any part of 85,000, Danny's original offer, or he will fight for the bare purse.

It 18 t0 bo the best two pulls out of throe, and as both teams are composed of men of giga tie mould, two or three hours of torrific struggling and intense excitoment may be confidently expected. There will be o dele- gation of Lincoln’s citizens up to witness the battle, and judging from the dogree of confi- denco that has marked sll tho negotiations for the match, they will not bo averse to back- | ing their representatives with tho coin of the realm. The Danes, bowever, nre fully a confident us the backers of their opponents, and it is quite probable that offers to back the nien from the capital will not bo allowed 1o go begging. The Second Infantey band will be in attendant 1 overything done to euhance the comfort aud pleasure of the crowd in attendance, A tug-of-war between the Switchmen's Mutual Aid association and the Barrett team will take place at Kilgallon's hand ball court, 1123 Chieago streot this afternoon at 2:30 for 8200 a side.

After the wild and noisy incoherency of socalled farco comedy a legitimate eomedy Iike **The Club Friend” is restful recreation indeed, and it is doubly enjoyable when in- terpreted by so clever a company as that of Roland Reed, who began on engagement at the Boyd last night. Mr. Read is a successful actor whose work for many years was iu the line known as low comedy. In his now play he reaches a higher level of artistio effort, and it may be fairly said that ho is now dividing hounors with Nat Goodwin in their particular sehool. Mr. Reed still has some of bis old mannerisms, and it is especially to be hoped that he will go out somo night and lose the nasal twang; but there is & sunny, effervescent quality in his art that atones for flaws and rightfully com- mands popular fayor. Miss Isudore Rush, who carries the leading female role, offers au admirable conception of a well bred, self poised woman, and_her terpretation is quite in keeping. Her ont- ragea aignity does not run into hysterics or mock heroles, and she turns with easy grace to & parsifiage that bas no suspicion of sim- per init. It is a charming characterization. Miss Edua Wallace is a very pretty ingenue who plays her part with a winsome maidenly swoetness that is irresistibie. With but one or Lwo exceptions the other characters are excellently cast, aud ths play tells a story that Is bound to blease | L el DeWitt's Littie Early Kisors; only pill to oure sluk hendache and regulate the bowels.
