THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY WPRIL 17, 1892—SIXTEEN PAGES THE WEER'S SPORTING GRIND o \'he Last of the Wild Fowl and the Coming of the Jacks. A BIG GRIST FOR THE HORSEMEN Yelps trom the Bleachers —The Busy Wheel- men—Jabs and Smashes and Answers and Mise orts, Questions lia- neous Local & OOR shooting has been tha rule this spring, for notwith standing the almost unanimous expocta- tion among sports- men for great sport among wild fowl this spring, and not withstanding the fact that all the con- ditions — plenty of water, good foed 28 and blustery weath- er—polnted to a ful- s fillment of these (i hopes, the shooting * s been poorer than for many seasons past, in fact was next to a complete and apsolute failure. To be sura the birds have not all gone vet, and there nay be tolerahle sport iu the marshes for two wreks yet, still the fact remains that the period supposed to embody the height of the soason in this latitude has elapsed,aad the ar- @ent gunnerhas had, in a great measure, only his dreams, instoad of roast mallard or canvasback, to feed upon. To be sure some of the most favored have been fortunate enough to make fairly good bags, but these bave oniy fallen to those who could spare the time to go forth, pitch their tents, and atiently wait o flight that justified the name. porismen who could gomposedly take up their nbode adjacent to some favorite usivg’ grounds, and remain there day in and day out, until the glorious opportunity came, were all right, and tiad a good deal of Bpasmodic shooting with its attendant ex- Liiarating enjoyment. But the gunuer who was enabled o get out only for one or two days, cenerally had his labor and expense for bis pains, and the prepondarance of these actually returned without a bird to attest to Yheir prowess as hunters and their dexterity ‘With the hammeriess. It was the same with geese ana ducks alike, the spring shooting has been an incon- tinent disappointment. The legendary Platte, famed from time immemorial as the most wonderful wild goose grounds in the worla, was never visited by such hordes of Wunners. But there remains but one story to Yell, ninetoen out of every twenty returned to their comiciliums in city, town or country, wratbful, disappointed and gonseless ! Now, all this points to but oue thing, and hat is that wild fowl shooting in the spring ime must cease, or vear by year the sport will grow poorer and poorer, until finully the birds will almost entirely 'disappear from their wonted haunts. The wild pigeon,a more rolitc eame bird a million = times ver than the wild duck ever was, bas been utterly exterminated. That hould teach a lesson to every honest and nscientious sportsman. The ducks and fgoese, with the all year round ruthless laughter, such as is practiced bere, will 5o &ar as our local waters and feeding erounds re concerued, go the same way. That is in- evitable. The spring shooting, more than any other season’s work, 1s telling with terrible eflect upon the birds. Every succeeding spring, to the obscrvant and solicitous sportsman, this decrease becomes more and more noticeable, @nd louder and louder is the call for succor t the bands of the law makers. 1, myself, probably doas much shooting 8s'the majority of sportsmen in Omuha, and the question might wall be asked. Why do I indulge in these spring forays? My auswer is, simply because all the rest of the: gunuers do. The hanging up of a single gun ‘would accomplish nothing, but 1 would bail With exceeding pieasure any enactment, could it be made general in_the surrounding states, that would compel all alike to forego this spring slaughter,and give the persecuted birds un opportunity to multiply ana re- cuperate. But to return to the present season. The last issue of mallaras, redtead, widgeon and bluebill are in from the south, and most of them out sgain, still isolated buoches and pairs will linger here for a couple of weeks 1 come, when all but those who bave the temerity 10 undertake to breed here will have winged their way to the undisturbed fastoesses beyond Baffins bay. The blue and green wing teal may possible afford good pvort until well along in June, and often they are to be met with through the entire sum- mer. But there is another rare sport in store for the lover of the fleld nud marsh. With the ast of the winter's snows during the rem- ant of this month, when the warm rains sct {u and the baliny breezes come up from the Bonth, the spring migration northwara of the most precious of all feathered game, the *ack snipe’ (Gallinago Wilsoni),sets in. No shooting equals that of the jacks, and no mi ratory bird is more valued by the gourmets nd tho epioures. They are a mysterious bird and come aud go with the socrecy of the winds. They move leisurely on their north- eru journey, by short stages of flight, making fonumeratile balts before reaching their reoding grounds. These are located in very igh latitudes, Thev dalight in moist round, yet display &t times & curious predi- ection for brushy spots und the outskirts of fiank woodlands, Its most favorite feeding grounds in this remon, however, are on marshy meadow lauds where cattle are pas- tured, or in the interior about fresh water springs, euvironed by oozy swamps and thickets of willow, wild rose and pucker- brush. It may most surely be found,though, on pastu~ed marshes, where it feeds in the poft, spongy soil, cut up and corrugatea by the hoofs of wandering kive. In a few more days and the dslightful lit- tle scolopax will sound his thrilling “‘skeap” iu every marsh and pasture within a radius ©of 100 miles, aud then comes busy hours for man ana dog. A Plen for Better Management Oxana, April 14.—[7'0 the Sporting Editor of Tur Bek. |—Now that there are so many athletic clubs in the city it isto be hoped that those who bave a voice in the mauter ‘will take the proper sieps Lo make their out- door snorts a real success, such as will give <——satisfaction to spectators and competitors, All know bLow outdoor athlstic sports are patronized in the east, and I venture to say that sports will be as well patropized in Omabo as anywhere 1f & few little things are attended 10 1 the management. The rirst thing that is nocessary is 1o aa- WVertise at least a month before the day fixed for the contest. The reason of thisis, to pllow the athlotes to train to insure competi- ion. Another point that must not be over- oked is that as there will be in every sport pen contests,in which athletes from ihe dif- fereut clubs will compete, there should be a {udge selected from the outside. It is usual iuvite some person connected with the pporting staff of aJocal paper to fill that pos- ition. The prizes are also &u important ftem. They should be various s0 as Lo suit differeut tastes. It is ridiculous to be giving gold medals for everythivg. Giola medals are supposed 10 represent championships, sna it only ou this ac- r:um. they are thought auyihing about, think it would oot be » bad idea for tho pommittee to find out what would suit the stes of the contestauts best. Of course it i not necessary Lo sk whoever they think will win, but they cau get around it easy suough if they only keep their ears open. There are soveral litt'e things like that Wwhich, if peglected, might make & meetiog a fsilure. As 1 have said above some local sporting man of repute should be iovited o juage, | sud be can give full instructions and direc- | OLs 88 wll'lng out of course, etc., aud 1 hiope those who have coutrol of these matters Wwill see tothis, aud then the athletes and peovle of the city may look forward to the eujovment that well conducted, well con- tested sports always afford AMaTEDR — a NN Cushman Will Loot the League. A Pillsburg paper has this 1o say about proposed changes in the Milwsukee teaw: Manager Cushman of the Milwaukee West ern leagus club is very anxious to secure Maul and Berger for his team. He is willing 1 pay each & handsome salary. To keep within the salary limit he is determined to €0 on with eleven players instead of twelve, the number allowed by the Western. If he signs Maul and Berger three of the present Milwaukee players will have to go. Mr. Cushman says ihe three players 1o be fired will be the lowest salarisd in tho team in order to allow a larger margin for the sala- ries of the ex-Pitisburgers. —Pittsburg Com mercial Gazette. Will somebody plesse kill Cusbman before he breaks up the National league. The t Pull this Week. The tug-of-war which commences at Expo- sition ball Tuesday nizht, promises to be o great athletic event. The eight teams have all been getting good and ready, and as they seem to be very evenly matched, the strug gles will be most intensely interesting. The heats are all limited to & 30 minutes pull, the team baving the cinch on the rope at the end of that time will win the heat. This will make red hot work for the men, s they are all well aware that 30 minutes won't last forevor. It will also give better satisfaction 10 the spectators, s they are sure to seo il motions of the competitors each night. The last pull will always be over by about 10:40. The Irish team will be in better shape this time, and the csptain, Ed O'Couner, says his boys will make a hard puil sure he Scotch team i3 in for it and from the looks of the team Bonny Scotland will surely muke & good record. The Bohemians have strengthened their team by puttine in heavier men. 7They are well known to be great pullers and their extra weightjwill make them a hard team to beat. Sergeant Kinneman from the fort, captain of the American team, says he has been training his men twice a week and expects to make a hard fight for the flag. The German team is represented from South Omata, and they area fine looking team, From the recora they hold 1t will be a hard strugele to pull them up. The Swedish team is also from South Omaha, and as the record of their nationality is weil known, it is safe 10 say that whoever defeats them will know they have been in a tug-of-war. The hand- some Danes need very little introdution to the Omaha public. They are among the greatest pullers in the league and if they don’i carry off the banner it won't be their fault. Last but not least comes the noble red warrior from the far west. This is 8 team of Sioux Indians. They have been at the fort about eight months and they are u bealthy, hus looking lot. It is expected by u great_many who think they know, that the reds will vrove to be the dark horsein the tourna- meut. The teams will all moet at exposition hall at11:30a. m. next Tuesday &ndin thewr handsome uniforms, with the Fort Omaha band at their head will parade the city from 12t01. The building will be handsomely decorated with flags of all nations. There are %00 reservo seats for ladies and their es- corts. Mauager Prince has left nothing un- done and means to give Owaha a grand uth- letic entertainment. The tournament is for the championsbip of Nebraska and the team which wins this will represent the state at the World's fair for the championship of America. It is Just Like This. It must not be imagined that ball players in the Western league are playing for “cigar as Kid Bamldwin suggests. They have six months’ contracts and are paid all the way from 000 to £1,400 or §1,500. The managers get §2,000. Thetis not bad pay for six months’ work. Many a mau slaves twelve hours a day every day in the year for & good deal less. The fellow who gets §100 per month in these days is not dowg so bad, and ro oue will say that playing ballisa disagreeatle business. 1t is not time as yet 1o pity tbe ball player. He can still ive on the fat of the land. Just a Quiet Little Polnter, The Omaha management hias 0o occasion to experiment with players whom time has con- clusively proven that no club can get along witk. There are plenty of sober, deserviug and respectablo plarers auxious for positions, and these are the kind of men the public e mand. The tough and the lusher have no more business in base ball than they have in any other business. Chance For a Littie on the Side. Jeft Bedford’s *Hit Me for Fifty Dollars,” nas again been erected on the outfield of the local ball grounds, ouly this time the familiar old sign makes two propositions, 0 to the man who bits 1t with a oatted bali on the flv, and $25 to the man who hits it with a baited ball on the roll or bound. Yelps from the Bleachers, How would Bob Petit fill Sprague’s bro- gaus? In Louisville they think Meekin and Grim will be one of the star batteries of the big league. The new beadquarters of the Minneapohs olup are Room 231 Lumber Exchange, Min- neapolis. Burkett is batting just as he did two years ago, when be stood ninth among the league's heavy bitters. Groundkeeper Keefe evidently knows his business. Sportsman’s park was never in better shape thau now. Bob Leadley says he wents no eastern leage in his. He will freeze to his position in the United States interval revenue office at Detroit. Jack O'Connor promises to be Cleveland's star this season. He is more uctive than Zimmer, besides being & beiter batter and base runner. The new grouunds of the St. Paul bese ball club are situated rear University avenue, petween Dale snd St. Albans streets, and are within forty minutes’ ride from Minneapolis. Pittsburg’s experimeatal bvitcher, Camp. doesn’t suffer from isck of confidence. He also bats equally well right-handed or left- handed,as they say all Omaha players do.— Pittsburg Dispateh. Pat Tebeau is handling the Clevelands with appareut excellent judgment. Rettger and Davies, the new pitchers, are showing up well. The team, as a whole, 1s stronger than that of lust yoar. Gus Schmelz is at work on a new set of siguals that is said to be the most intricate ever devisea,.—Ohio Stats Journal. He does it all with his whiskers. You can’t fool us wise western guys, Mr. Rife. Charles, or “Jack,” Crooks as he is famil- 1arly and erroneously called, was born in St, Puul 26 years ago. _His first ball experience of any note was on the St. Louis Whites the season of 'S8, —(Globe-Democrat, Will Clingman, the Cincinnati player, de- ciares that to his mind Louisville got in Jones & better pitcher than Cleveland has in Cuppy. He played in the same league with these youngsters last season. Indianapolis has been noted for the star batteries which have always brought lasting glory to the elub, First it had Nolen and Flint, then McKeon and Keenan: next came lBuyll and Myers, and last Rusie and Buck ey. Jimmy Mauning bas veen playing with Kansas City since 1857, and pext Seturday he will reach man's estate, 21 vears of age, on which occasion President Speas wiil pre- sent him with a nice house and lot iv Kausas City—Iansas, The base ball editor is indebted to Emil Grossman & Co. of Cleveland, O., for a copy of their *Little Casino'’ base ball schedule. It 1s the most convenieut thing of the kind published, and besides the Natioua! league schedule, contains many iuterestiog records An0 much news. All Sunday games scheduled by the West- ern league for Indianapolis, will, when the ational league team is sway from home, be f}luyed in Ciucinnati on the league grounds. rush’s western team will fill 1o dates left open by some of the goodv-goody eastern teams, who will lay off and attend church. Jack Sneed is now off the diamond and en- gaged in tcket scalping st Columbus, O. Tuis pays him as well as minor 1eague ball would. —Columbus Dispatcs. Out this way everybody is overjoyed to know that Jack is off the diamound, and that be is making $200 or §300 a month peddling second-band rail- road tokets. The fact that Owens pitohed for Colunbus yesierday has lea to the circulation of a wild aud wooly varo that Huuk O'Day is to bo re- leased. Not yet, Madame Kumor, not yet. Mr. O'Day’s “arm will be given a full, free aud honest test before any thoughts of re- leasing the veterau pitcher will be entor- tained. —Columbus Dispateb. A Chiosgo liquor cure cuncern sdvertises that it cured Larry Twitchell of the drink- ing habit, and Larry threatens to run down {rom Milwaukee und kick somebody’s day- lights our. Larry was never full but once l’n Lis lite, and Lbst was just subsequent Lo the close of the Mexican war, when he happened to be eaught out 1ate one night with & lot of South Omahs democrats, Armour, the right fielder of the Toledos, is a ball player from awav back. Comiskey nd Banoroft both think well of him, and the chances are that he will be playing in & league team before the season 18 over.—Cin- cinnati Commercial Gnzette. I'a like to know how you figure that out, Ban. How ever, you big league ducks can bring about some funny things, under the national agree ment, in bate ball. Sec! cateh! understand! Maoager Cushman of Milwaukee says: *1 do not think the big league wili last longer than one year. Next year 1 think we will again have two big leagues, one & Suuday ball playing league and the other agaiost playing Sunday. The prospects of the West ern league ure very bright, and in my opinion this 18 the banner vear for base ball every. where.” —Evening Wisconsin, He cau’t keep still a minute. Jack McQuade, who was classed as one of the best umpires in the league last vear, was In the city last night. Mac has been “turned down” by Nick Young. ‘Last fall be sizned 1o umpire iu the association, and that cooked his goose with Uncle Nick. This season Mc- Quade will umpire in _the Western associa- tion,and he is now on his way to Inalanapolis for the opening of the season in that city next Saturday. In McQuade the new ieague has lost one of the fairest and best umpires toat ever officiated in @& game.—Cincinnati Commercial-Gazetto. Well, we will take care of Jack all right here. Just think of the Bloges, Stricfs, Bauswines aud Cusicks we have have had out here iu the last four years, Itis & wonder every orank in the west hasu’t had the delirium tremens. Elmer Smith's friends aid not forget him. ‘Whoen he went to bat for the first time in the game he was warmly applauded. And may- be Elmer can’t play the field. He mada two or three nice catches and also bagged one of Pittsburg’s hits. Smith called at the Com- mercial Gazette oftice last night. “What do I think of the Cincinnati clnb? It's by long odds the best team that ever represent- ed tho city. Comisky is a great leader and the team 18 astrong one in batting. It's the best city in the country fora ball player. The people bere always give the player his just dues, and nover fail to pull for tue suc cess of the home team. It is different in other cities. Billy Halligan will surprise some of the league pitcners this year. He is a fine batter when e wants to ‘be?’ “Will ou do any more pitching?’ *Well, I sup- pose I will some day. When the weather wets a little warmer the Pittsburg manage ment will press me into service. 1 don'tcare about pitching, for I know I would last lon eras afielder. This is my vear to pitch win ning ball, and 1 dou't think I will prove wanting _when called upon to face the music.'’'—Ban Johnson. The Minneapolis Tribane in speakine of the Millers says: Munvan, with the St Louis Browns, and Dixon, with the Johns- town-Gloversville club of the New York state league last scason, catchers; France, with Sacramento in the California_league the first half of last season, and with Tacoma in the Pacific Northwest league the re. mainder of the s2ason: Swartzel, for several seasons with Kansas City, and_Beatin, who played with Cleveland and Detroit in the league, pitcbers: McGuirk, of the Sacra mento club, first base; Shinnick, with the Louisville, second base: Parrott, with Port- land, Ore., third base: Graham, of the cham- pion Erie club of the New York and Penn- sylvania ieague, short ston, and Carroll, of the Minneapolis and Lowell clubs, Newman of the Seatue club, and Katz of Grand Rapids and Kansas City, outfielders. Since the awarding of the players Manager Morton bas made & request for two men to take the places of McGuirk ana Katz, whom he hasn’t much confidence in, and President Willisms yesterday signed Milt West, or *Papa,” as he is called here, and assigned him to Minneapolis. West led the Eastern association in battiog last season wilh the unusually high percentage of .336. He played first base part of the soason for racuse and ootained a fleldiug average of .96% and had an average of .858 in center field. MocGuirk, whose place he takes, made a fine record for bimself in the California league and was one of the best coachers in the learue. His averages were: Games 4 hits, 136, batting average, 247 fielaing, .967, and he stole 25 bases. 1 West does as good as that be will have to play ball forall be’s worth. A new man will probably be signed in a few days to teke the place of Katz. On the Track and in the Stable. The black stallion, Director (sire of Diract 206, pacer), was sold recently for §i5,000. Vitello, 2:151, will pull a thirty-eight- pound sulky withi pueumatic tires the coming season. Over £1,000,000 will be offerea in stakes and purses for trotters and pacers during the coming season.

McCord up Cass stroet to Twentv-second, may well be satistied with what they have got. Mr. Meikle, of north 1'wenty-second street, recently bought for @ family horse a bay gelding that looks about right. He has siz stvleand a presence that commends judg ment in the selection. A New England pacer bas been named Swift’s Dressed Beef, and one who has seen him says he is named just right, for while he is 8 Durham in stape, he is 8 Texas steer when the stampede begins. Ed DuBois of Kansas City, will act as licutenant to R.T. Kneebs the coming season. Mr. D, is an experienced driver, s used to riding fast and will be of valuable ussistance to Kueebs with uis big string. As Silver City is only a little run out from Omaha, when they give their trotting meet- lug this season the Omaha and Covncil Bluftites should take a trip there. 1 am sure they will see some going worth the while.

The King Hiil stook farm, near St. Jos Mo., had their larce training barns totally destroyed recently by @ severe wind storm that siwept it away. In the barn when the storm came up wero not less than 100,000 worth of trotting stook, including Wilkie, Russell (2:15), Aravant (2:985) and Porimus (2:2), The stable men, fearing the worst, had removed the stock just in time to save it.

Prominent among them are Robbie P, 2:24; Kate Caffrey, 2:25at 3 years old, Both are star actors with always lots of speed. Toe 2-year-old, Ired P., who was a sensational yeariiug, is all right and the one that beats bun the coming season will be putin a fast class. Gouid & Miller of Fuller- tou, Neb.,, who own the great trotter and sire of trotters, Shadeland Onward, 2:18%, will bave their stable trained there.

The coming week bids fair to be an un- usually pleasant one in the theatrical seuse, siuce it brings before the Omaha public 8 uew Star and an actress who iu less than oue season has made 8 name and @ reputation that places her well slong in the light of legitimate delineators of the standard dramas. Miss Gale comes to Omaha fresh from & two weeks' engagement at the Bald- win thester in San Francisco, where the critios ana the public acccorded ber the most bountiful praise. For her introduction in Omaba Miss Gale bhas selected some of the immortal bard's .best works and 8 romzutic drama by Mara Lovell, whigh will also command a front place in tms list of legitmate plays. Miss Gale is a charming actress. lsut few people can appreciate her real beauty sud tho sweetuess of her charac- ter, She is modest, uuostentatious aud charmiugly gentle, Her first appearance on the stage was in 1885 with Lewrence Barrett. Unu! the close of last season she supported Mr. Bar. rett and was with bhim when be Was starring jointly with Mr. Booth, Several times last souson she played Juliet to Mr. Barre's Komeon.
