OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 18 SWIFT SON OF A NOBLE SIRE Tom Elliott by Luke Blackburn Wins the Great Tennessse Derby, TWO LONG SHOTS LAND FIRST EASILY Great Sport at Memphis® First Day—Omaha Roadster Club Incorporated—Opening the Tiase Ball Son Sporting News, General EMPHIS, Tenn,, April 11.—The open- ing day of thespring meeting of the new Momphis Jookey club was held to- ljav. Wenther was pleasant ana attond- aoce large, Con- sidering the cordi- - =3 tlon of the track, which was ankle deep in mud, tho sport was good. Tho eveut of the day—the Tennesseo derby, was won by J. M Brown's bay colt, Tom Elliott, by Luke Blackburn, 1n 2:08%{. Boliver Buckner, a 10 to 1 stiot, surprised the crowd by winning the fourth, about ms he pleased. Helter Skelter galioped In easily in the first. Twenty-six books did a rushine business and broke about even with the crowd. Kirst ra Helter Sk winner by four le 10 to 1. second: Critie, 19 1 \ 4 to 1, th Sodond rice, Bhadow, 107, 6 1o niongth; Too Quick, 107 aso third. T 1:151 Third rice, Tennessee derby, one elghth miles: Jim Mury tour furlongs sIX starters won undes 15 v and one- y, 122 (1 Willfams); Tom_ Elljott, 115 (Britton); Lew Woir, 122 (D Long); Littie Billy, 115 (Hoggetu; Pill Dwyer, 122 (Overton). It was evident as scon as the Corrigan entry appeared on the track that they had beon overtrmned. Phil Dwyer looked the pink of poriection, but his step denoted too much traiuing on @ lumpy track. ‘The others seemed in good condition. As the horn sounded odds were: Jim Murphy, 8 tol; Tom Elliott and Little Billy (Brown's entry), to 2; I’hil Dwyer and Lew Woir (Corri 's ortry). 8 to 10, Britton with Lis usual tactics kept Tom Elliott hugging the raus and tad his horse's noso in front when they started. Jim Murphy was second, but only by a nose, for Littlo Billy was unxious to be at the side of his compauion aud was push- ing ahead. Corrigan’s horses wero closo up, and all mace a fine bunch as they came to tho stand. [n passing the stand Little Billy haa passed both Llliott and Murphy, and was smellng clear air for the stuff. Murphy was third. Corrigan’s bhorses were no better off than when they started. They kept those positions to_the half. As thoy passed the three-quarter Little Billy was still lead- ing. Weir had been pushed iato second place. Ellict was third and Dwyor fourth, with the Trish horso 1wo lengths in tho rear. Into the streteh came Billy first by about half a length with Weir crowding him hard. Elliott, still running with apparent easo without urging from Britton, was third, At the stretch the negro, with a grunt and cut of the whip, had his borse past Weir and on even terms with Little Billy in a twink- ling. It wos soon over. Another move of this kind aud Ellott was up with Billy. Tho latter, however, was game and ovjected to being put down. But Elliott had a swing on himself which could not be broken and Britton kept him going. Ho bad becn well saved for the finish and showad it as he camo down the stretch, Heseemed to go faster nearing the end of his journoy, and was golng at a terrific paco when he passod under tho wire, ono length in front of Billy. Low Weir was the samo distance ahead of Murphy and the Corrigan star, Dwyer, was last, Time i 394 Fourth race, seven furlonzs. nine starters: Bolivar Buckner, 110 (10 to 1), won easily by vwo onny, 117 (316 . wis second; Gray (4103), was third.

Omaha Gentleman's Roadster Club Takes al Existonce, A meeting of the Gentleman's Roadster club was held last night at tne Millard hotel, and the association docided to discard its constitution ana by-laws and incorporate the club. This was done, as a committes to which bad been referred the advisability of incorporating submitted articies aud they were approved, By the articlos of incorporation, whioh will be flled today with the county olerk, the organization will bo known as the Omana Gen- tloman’s Roadster club, avith a capital stock of 81,500, divided 1uto 300 shaves of $5 each, all of which stock will be non-assessable. ‘Tho object of the association, as ser forth by tho articles, 1s to muintain a driving club for the improvement of roadster horses; to furnish outdoor exercise and promote the bealth and enjoyment of their owners; to arrange races and race matinces on the grounds that may be selected by the track committee.

The baso ball patrons are still speculating upon tho capacity of Omaba's new team, but if the disagreeablo weathor that bas reigned 80 far this spring continues they will be com- pelled to walt for the opening champlonship 100 next Saturday and then do their critk clsing. As yot they have bosn seon but lit tlo, evon in practice, and it would be pre sumotive in any one attempting to give estimato of thoir strength. In Kansas City, 80 the papers down there stated, the team gave decided evidence of strength, and had they had even as much proliminary practico as the Cowboys have thers would have been a differant story to tell. But let that o for what it is worth, next Saturday we will all have a chance of sizing the team up in a gamo for biood, This will be a game, too, likely to develop the latont strength of the two teams alike. Noithor has had any preliminary lmbering up worth speaking of, end will consequently bo on an equitable footing, and if there be any advantage at all it will be with the home veam, as St. Paul, so far, has bad iiterally no practice. Some of the allezed critics are chalking the Aposties down as & mark, but what grounds they have for such an opinion it is difficult for a disinterested party to aiscover. They have Oid Cy Suteliffo and Collins for cateners, a8 good a pair as there is in tho whole league, Ol1d Cy led the American & ciation batting list last year with a tro- mendous por cent. and _all Omaha fans know what ho is behind the plate, Kor pitchers Cunningham, Wadsworth and Keefo, just as fine a trio as any otner team can show, at least until itis demonstratea in actual ser. vice that they are not. If Cunningham gets back in his old time form—well, look vut that is ail. _Aud their infleld—is there any stroneer in the circuit than Motz first, OI1 Pop Smith socond, Holtand short and 'Billy Alvord third! 1f so I'd like tosee them trotted out. Their outtield is the leasi Known quan- | but it is composed of young biood, Ho- griover, Donahue and Pavst, all promising players. and who kuows what they will de- velop into in the class they will find them- solves this season. 1U's all & mistako about St. Paul being weak, as 8 good many people will likely find out before the season is far advanced, What They Think of Us? In speaking of Saturday’s game tho Kansas City Times has these nice things to say of Rowe's Rustiors: *‘Chief Stout and his Omaha braves came down to Kunsas City yesterday and fell into an ambush, thereoy losing their scalps. 1t was just a little chilly atthe park, but aboutS0) crankssaw tho game, in which tho braves were beaten by the score of 12 to 7. It was a well played game considering tho woather and both teams made an excellent 1mpression. Although beaten, Omaha has a much stronger team than was expected, and by its showing yestercay looks to be one of the most formidablo clubs in the league. It went on the fiela yesterday with practically 1o practico work, and with its pitchers in no kind of condition and put up a fair game. It was a kind of game, too, that attracts and in- terests—play all the time and no foolishness. Collopy at third did the star work of the day and tuptured everything that came near him. One of his plays, o one handed pick- up of a slow ball and & lightning throw to first, was particularly brilliant, Kelly at left field, who is heralded as the 'king beo ficlder in the west, had littlo to do, but he ran out toward the left field bleachers and silenced a foul ball in a way that won tno crowd, He handles himself like a_bail player. Then, there is Bobby Gilks in center field, who covered plenty of ground and batted hard. The rellable Shei- beck at short, agraceful, active player and accuratn thrower, safe on ground balls and a sure thing on flies. 1s well known tp Kansas City “fans.” Ho is probably the best snort stop in tho Western league, With Spraguo in tho right field Omuha has a team of tielders cqual to any and if ite pitchers de- velop the team is worth watching, as it is SUTO 10 COME OUL Fear Lho top. Tho biues won tho game handily by hard hitting. In this they had the advantage, as Iiteljorg was in condition to pitch nine in- nings and none of Stout's twirlers could stand tha pace. Darby, a little pitcher from the Northwest leazue, pitched feur innings, Vickery four and Handiboo ona. Noue of them were in condition, howevar. At the head of the Omaha rustlers is Man- Who-Always-Kicks-Rowe. His talking organs are in the best of condition and he begwn “‘roaring” as soon as he gotin tho park. He objected to a local man umpiring, and made a stump speech just before the game. It is always safe to lav oods that David Eli is not going to hanale the short end of anything if kicking will help matters. After a display of lung power that showed ho was in perfect condition, Dave consented to let tho game go on Base Ball for Council Bluffs, The Council Bluffs Base Ball club 15 or- ganized and Manager Vandenburg is pleased with his team. The management has se- cured u club that will play good honest ball, Every man signed is 8 good first class player.

Chicago plays in St Louis, Cleveland in Louisville, Pittsburg in Cinclanati, Boston in Washington, Brookivn in Baltimore and New York in Philadelphia. Catoher Dall Darling has been awarded to the Toledo club by the piayers' committee of the Western league. Negotiations bave been about completed for signing Tom Nich- olson, with the St. Louis Browns, to manage and play second base for Toledo. Manager Cushman of the Milwaukees has applied to the players' committee for per- mission to sign George Shock, recently released by Washington, but there is no danger of permission being grauted. If Sheek signs u Wostern league contract, the Hmwors will stand Little chance in getuing . Chicago Times: * In & recent game between iclnnati and Toledo “Mullane caught ‘Third Baseman Newell under the chin with his heel, inflicting an ugly wound.” The Cincinnati boys are great people. Last soa son Latham caught oue or two third basemen ucder the chin with bis fist. Variety 1s the spice of base ball. Tiwes-Star: “Wild Bill" Widner will doubtless be seen on Milwaukee's roll in & foew duys. He bhas seut his terms to Columbus, and Manager Cushman has put in a claim for bim. Sinece Cupid and Hymen landed “Wild Bill” be has given King Gambrinus the sbake. He is really in shape to do good work for the westerns.

By the way, President Stout says Fitz isu warvel on the second bagi bis double plag in the game with Kansas City inst Saturday being of the phenomenal de seription Tho second game botween Omaha and Kaosas City Sunaay was prevented by wot grounds. The Omahus were very much dis- appointed, as they hoped to tura the tabies on tho Cowboys. However, it will be a good time for revenge when Jimmy Man- ning and his crowd come up here for their first whirl at the champlonship. O, my! O, me! How Shannon's Lambs did larrup this same gang last senson. They never won a sin gle game until after the reorganization in July. Mannger Cushman of Milwaukeo has been dickering to sign Albert Maul, late of the Pittsburgh club, and Catcher Borger of last year's toam. In'case ho ocan gob the proper consent he will sign them and reloase three men; one of them will b Jones, the pitcher. He refuses to namo_the other two. He is also figuring with Pitcher Thompson of the Bast Knd Gymuasiums, n strong county league club, All \hree are exceliont men, much better than some now 1n the teams The Pittsburgs made but six hits off Thomp- son in A game. Nothing has been heard from Fielder Sprague, although transvortation and ex- pense money was forwardea him two weeks ago. It begins to look as if the old south paw twirier had concluded to go into the banking business somewhere, and givo base bail the go-by. Anyway Manager owe tele- graphed to President Williams yesterday that bo either wanted Spragae right away or another man, and wanted hm bad. Tho opening championship gamo takes place next Saturday, sud Omana’s right fielder hasn't seen a lick of practice this year. Advices from Minneapolis stato that tho Miliers have not been ablo to get aay prac- tice at all, owving to the continued’ severo weather prevailing thore. The team wns to ave played exhibition games with St. Paul aturaay and Sunday, but tho games could not be played becauso the grounds in both citios wero frozen. The Minneapolis team leaves there tonigit for Kaasas City and will rench there tomorrow night. They expect to got permission from Manager Manuing to practice at Exposition park, ana if they can’t do that will find some other grounds in the city tolimber ap on. The list of last year's Western association players who have signed with the Eastern leaguois as follows: Big Georgo Wilson, Tom Flannagan aud “Roddy” Hanrahan with _tho Philadelphia_team, Billy Hoover with Rochester, Harry Fournior, Jake Wells, Tom Morrissey and Dan Shannon with New Haven, Tom O'Brien with Providence, Me- Mahon with Albany, Hennio Kappell with Buffalo, Saady Grifiin with Binghamton and and McGlone with P'roy.
