The meot will be at catoh weights and uader the auspices of the Magio Clty Athietic club for a purse of §1,500 and & side bt of §2,000. Prominent sporting men of this city and South Omaha are backing Wilks, and Chicago partivs will furnish the liateral for Needham's conqueror. 1t will donbtless prove the greatest mill ever fought in this vicinity and will at- ‘tract crowds of the fancy from all over the country, particularly tho western ¢ clties, As Is always the case the sports have aiready decided tho fight, but the dif- culty is they are far from unanimons in thelr decisions, Ono setof men areas sura as thoy are alive that Wilks wil} nover be in it, while another is just as positive that Jack wiil lick his man 10 a dead moral certainty. As the country clodhopper remurked: *IUs mighty lucky ail men don’t think alike, for llll{huy did 1'd never got Anny Muriar for u wife,” “ 11 ull the sports thought alike there would be no matches und 1o lights, and as a neces- sary vonsequence no pugilistic fun. I have already received three communications from South Omaba askiug me if I thought it was safo to back the St Louis voy to . To theso I emphatically say that I am no tipster, and | never gdviso @ man to bet a dollar on anything. 1 merely tell what I believe and give my reasons for the faith that 1s within me, leav- g the result'to time. Though I freely aa- /it that Ryan is a rattling ood man, 1 can- wot figure out why his friends think that he is yoing to have & picnic with Witks. That he nor his backers think 5o is shown by their delay and their extreme caution 1n making the match. Though they pretended to hold Wilke' pretensions as a fightorin sovereign contempt, they have been careful to pin him down 10 the most stringent rules. Actions speak lovder than words, and their actions 10 this case show thut thoy rogard Jack as the most aanwerous fos Ryan has yet faced, excopting Danny Needhamn, After b the latter in along, bard fight at Minneapohs Ryan unquestionably flunked in their last meeting at N Orleans. He diu not dare go in the fight, as 1nevitablo defeat stared bLim in tho face. His tonsilius story wus a fake, pure and simple. That Wilks proves a worthy foe, however, for the Cki- cago man depends entirely on himself, Thero is one thing be can dopend on, and that is thut Ryan will leave no stone unturned to ger himsolf into the very best condition. It is o be ficht to & finish, and when the men once enter the ring thero will be no leaving it until one or the other is victor or victim. fyan will bo well and fitasit is fo the power of men to make him so, and Juck owes it to bimself und his generous backers that he is equally well. His lato draw with Charley Kimmic at Minneapolis proves that he 1s a better man than commonly supposed. His showing was so excellent that the matoh in question grew out of it. Kimmic is & bard citizen, and good judges ranked mim with the best in the lana. Wilks virtually won the batile, but a partisan roforee mado iva draw. Hoof Beats from Lyons. Lyoxs, Neb., Juve 9.—Seecial Corre- spondence of Tue Bre: The Lyons Driving Park association is making a great effort to ave oue of the most Interesting race meet- ings ever held 1o the west in June, Liberal purses are offered, and there now seems to be no doubt but that they will be contested by large fields of first class horses. A special feature of this meeting will be the mixed races—trotting, pacing and running— which will afford sport for all classes of neople. The kite track is one of the best in the United States and is now in splendid condition and very fast. About thirty-five horses are now in training, and others will be on the ground in a few days. We now have sixty-seven stalls, 12x14, shingle roof, and fifty more are now being built. It is the intention to have not less than 200 stalls by the time our August meeting comes off. Lewis Hinklay and Dr. Denton of Denver are now at the track with fine strings of trotters and pacers. These gentlemeu aro oldtime horsemen, and the way thoy send their flyers around the kite indicates that they will be “in iv” wherever they start. They bave three with records under 2:80, and several that might perhaps beat 80, ‘which are not marked. _ E. D. Gould of Fallerton was in Lyons a Fow days since to inspect the kite and make angements to bring his stable here. Mr, ould was woll pleased with the track; thinks it is one of the best,if not the best, he has seen. John Garrett, a local trainer, bas a fine lot of horses at work, among which are a num- :wr of young things which aie very promis- ng. Art Everett is giving his fino filly, “Betsy E” bher daaily work. She is a vory promising filly, by Dagomar and out'of a duughterof Almont Gift. Sne is entered in the big stakes at Independence, Pouca and elsewhere, Mr. Iiverett also has 1 training & pacing filly by Couuseior and out of a mare by Blue 13ull, which gives evi- dence of being very speedy. Jeane ‘of Lincoin i3 driving his stal- zan I3, una Joe Groen. On Jast Mon- y Logun B, wos given a half mile on the kite in 1:103¢. This is thought to be vretty £0od time for a horse with & mark of 2.20 to make so0 carly in the season, and that, too, without heing iu condition for exerting all his powors. It certainly indicates that the Lyons kite track 18 very fast, or that Logan B. s very fast, or perhaps both. A 2:21 gait Is kot common 8o early in 8 wet season, and o faras 1 know bas not been made on any other track or by any other horso in the state up to date. The Lyons kite is surely very fast, . The association has ordered a Seth Griffin track muchine and Will endeavor to keep the track in prime condition during the racing season. There aro a number of thoroughbreds also in training. They are being worked halves in about :54, Oue horse run five-eighths a few-lays ago in 1:041§ without urging.

Whint Ed Bite Suys Goes, ‘Phere is no outdoor sport in the world as pure as base ball, It is above suspicion, Not since 1576, when Devlin, Craver, Hall end Nichols, the Louisville crooks, were relegated 10 the black list, bas there veen anyogrooked work on the aiamond, Tuo reason is obvious. Baseball ana gamolers None of the - feow the suie of pools. It is the ouly wame of sport conducted . striotly on its mer- pays to play bonest ball. A winning team s always the mouney- maker, aud & member of & winning team 1is Slwave lu demand. If Lbhere was ever any doubt about the honesty of the game it was | dispelled in 1500, Had thers been the slight- | est crookednoss it would havo leaked oat during the Brotherhood war, when piayers and magnates wore arrayed aeainst each other in the bitterest kind of a struggle for | existence. Then was tho timne all the secrets, if there were any, would have come to the | surfaco. There is no organized betting on | base ball. There are no pool rooms that make a speciaity of taking bets on the games like there aro in horse racing. The manage- ment of the clubs have no pool privileges to seil. Jimmy Collopy's Famous Stick. When Jimmy Collopy came here from Holyoke this spring he brought with him a little old, time worn, greasy bat that bo- louged 1o Tim Murnan nearly twenty years ago. 1In tho hands of any man, no difference how inferior he might be, it was good for at least one hit & game, and Jimmy thought more of it than he did of pay day,” which is saying a good deal for a ball player, The boys opened up with this stick in the open- ing championship gamo with $t. Paul and | Ltey got fourteen hits and won the game 12 | tol. Kvery man on the team fell in love with the Murnan bat, and would use no otier. It was looked upon as possess- ing somo weird enchantmont and was guaraed with @ jealous eve. Their wrath can _be imagined, whan, on the close of the first Toledo game, April 17, this precious bit of ash turned up missing. A thorough search about the grounds, the club houso and the visitors' dressing room, failed to unearth this prize, and Callopy's heurt was all out broken, KEven the Toledos bat bags were soparately inspectod, and then it was glven up a8 gono for good. Krom that very gamo tho Rustlers took atumble in their stick work, and but indifferent success was attained until the return of the Black Pirates one week ago Saturduy. No sooner had their bat bags been emplied on ths ground, than Callopy, still cherish- ing the memory of the stick Tim Murnan use to wield, and nover hav- ing rid himself of the suspicion that one of the nautical robbers from the Maumee's shores had been instrumental n its miraculous disappourance. was vending over carofully inspeciing them. Suddently he made a wild dive among tho pile of sticks and with u whoob snatched up a bar, which had been disguised by a couple of bands of red paint. But there was no dsceiving Collopy’s keen orbs—it was the Murnau heirloom. The boys were all delighted at the restoration of the stick, und they individ- ually fondied it, looked 1t over and swung it at imaginary curves, until Uncle had to call them down. Then tho game began. Eyory man used the Murnan bat and every man gota hiv and some of them two and three. ‘They piled up 156 in all and won tho game 9 to 4. The next day the charmed suck again got in its work, the Rustlers making fourteen hits and winuning again 11 to b, and on the third day it iaced out ten hits and the third game was ours1to4. Butiu the last inning towering misfortune overwhelmed the Rustlers. Ina laudable affort to smash Dad Clarke out of the lot Bob Gilks broke the Muman stick, and the victory won was wholly fnsufcient 10 assuage the team’s grief over this irre- parablo loss. Such is the superstition of the ball player. That evening, however, Uncle got in a new installment of bats which he had had specially londed with singles, doubles, triples ana an_occasional home run, as the team's work with Coiumbus indubitably at- tested. A Dissertation by Mulford, None of the wise men of the world have ever evolved a plan that will make winners out of every club in a base ball circuit, All the millennium ideas grouped in Utopian splondor cannot do that. When those wonderful Colonels captured for Louis- ville the booby prize in 1839, los- ing games and winning but twenty-elght, enthusiasts thourht a record had been made thatwould survivethe ravages of time and be as everlasting as the hills, The idea of a club that could lose more games than that seemed incredible—a flg- ment of a shattered mind. Still, witbin the next twelvemonth that celebrated regiment of nomads known as Jay Palmer O'Neill's Folly company of Pittsburg, had succeeded in droppingjust114 games, while but twenty- three victorics were credited to them. Bad as those recoras are, there are two clubs that have started in this year as 1f determined to take from Pittsburg its unique distine- tion. There were a dreary lot of defeats to con- template before either Buffalo or Indian- apolis had won a single battle. Bisons and Heosiers had been tumbled in the dust so often that the beauties of the milennium were to them a snare and a hollow delusion. T'he fruit that scemed so luscious was bitter 1o the taste. Out of the lesson comes the fact tha’ in & game which embodies so much of the clement of luck it is sumply #n im- possibility to sort out your talent and expect all teams to be evenly matched. No plan of mortal will provide for the misfortunes that lie in ambush, The millenium cannot act as a panacea for charieyhorse, lame arms and stfl joints. But those in the circuits with “teams that “have been losing can thank thelr stars that tbe mullen- ium plan was nadopted, The Western league, tried by flood, would have suc- cumbed ere this had the old era of extraya- gance been on. Thelr losses, made possible by the continued wet weather, have veen kept down to the minimum by that idea—the best for the guidance of the minor leaguers over devised. The Western is living up to its provisious honestly, but there is every reason to believe that uearly every club in the Eastern association has violated the salary limit cla A Lot of Notable Youngsters. The past week there pnssed through Omana & very notable lot of *‘baby trotters" which were a detachment from one of the ereat breeding farms of California, owned by the Italian Count Valenson, The car was in charge of James Dustin, wko had his precious pets unloaded for a day’s rest and quartered at the Council Bluffs track, whero they were admired by very many visilors from both sides of the Dridge. With the party were the great 2-year-olds Frou Frou and Fausta, one a trotter with a record of 1§ asa ing, the otter a pacer with a mark of 2:9215 10 its credit at tno same age, both champion marks for this age. Tho lot were on the way to Terre Haute, {nd., where thoy Will be shaved up to be ready for later stake engazements throughout the south and ecast, where they are entered. I was very glad to meet tho oldtime driver, Jimmy Dustin, who n_days gone by was & familiar character at the Grand Circuit meetings, whoro he was al- ways seen near the front in trot finishes with Splan, Doble and others of the kind. aa horse chat James Britten ot tho firm of Britlen & Porry, Wuyne, Neb,, was at the Bluffs track one day the past week looking at the trot- ters, Heis tho owner of the black mare inilt, 4y Chatham, which 18 in training in Knub'® charge. W. B. Oaks, proprietor of ‘“Silver Crest Breoding Stud,” Silver City, Ia., was in the city one day this week, hustling for entries for their meeting, which will be July 4 and 5, Being only eighiteen miles irom Couneil Bluffs, on the Wabash, it would be a pleas- ant trip for Omahuns the Fourth, and tnu( could see some fine racing. ‘Jesse James" will trot there, and it would be worth a riae that far to see him. Weste ague Averages, The batuug averages of Western leaguo Vlayers figured up to Saturday last & week show that Third Basoman Roat of Minveapolis leads the league with an average of 450, having made 14 hits in 81 times atbat. Laly of Columous 18 second with an average of 353 for 85 hits in 02 times at bat, and Manning of Kausas City 1s third with an average of 50 for 23 Lits iu S0 times at bat.

Ploase Figuro This Out. On the 20th of this month, according to the millenium farce, the weaker clubs in the Wostern league are to be strengthened proparatery to the second division race. How is this to ba done do you suppose, or do you suppose that it will be done at alll Will Columbus give Omaha Breckenridge and and Walsh, or will we get tne chattoring count and Big Lally!

The ‘‘ronting”’ business grows each season and our local dealers ought to keep up with tho times and have on hand a stock of whoels for “renting” parposes. There are many people who either do not cure to buy a wheel outright or hava no place to keep one who would take ndvantage of the ‘“rental wheel system” and many a dollar would stay into the dealor’s pockets that now nover comes his way. Many of the people who rent wheels in the course of time purchase wheels and thus the “‘systom” serves a two-fold purpose. Our dealers do rent whools, but as their stock in this direction is limited thoy canuot begin to supply the demand, "The Tourists speat”the greater part ot the day at Cresent City, Ia., they report the foads in fair condition. On the way home the club fell in with one of those gentlemen of porcini proclivitus whoare the bane of the cyelists’ life. The roud would not perciit of riding around him and he would not drive out his team to lot the club by, so mile after milo was ridden along in the dust behind his hogship’s wazon, At length the ‘‘road hog' cither became ashamed of himself or tired of the “sport”’ and pulledto oneside thus letting the club procecd. . Several little dents marred tho pleasant run. Captain Pot- tor was run down by a wagon and his wheel was slightly buckled in the scrimmage, Frank Wallace went 1nto the ditch and peeled several inches of enamel off bis wheel as well as his face, { Billy Schneil mourns the loss of his ‘‘mascot” wheel, which some thieving scamp took a fancy to while Mr. Schoell was at work In the Young Man’s Christian associa- tion *gym". The wheel was purloined from tho hall of the building, whers it had been Joft by the owner. A reward of $25 awaits ab¥one who will roturn the wheel or glve information that will lead to its recovery. Tio wheel is un- like any scen in thesa parts, as it 1s a full racer, weighs twenty-three’ pounds, is full nickel plated except forks and head, which aro enameled in lavender; has the New York Belting and Packing companv’s pneumatic tires, diamond frame, yery light, and is with- out mud guards or coasters: has rat trap pedals and chain on left band side. This maies a round half dozen wheels which have been stolen of late and no effort seems to bo made to bring the thieves to justice. Wheels are valuable articles, ana it is a criminal of- fense to steal one. If anexample was made of some of these pilfering gentry the commu- nity at large would feel sutisfied that the xeen eyed lynxes of the law were doing their duty. The aggregate value of the wheels ‘which have been stolen would be in the neigh- borhood of $1,000 or so. Boys, keep your u{‘naels lociked up when you go away or leave them.
