SPORTS OF WANING SUMMER A Pertinent Dissertation on Coursing in Nebraska. WRITES A LETTER DE KELLY Shake-Down—The erman—The Kehoes from the Ryan Hunter and the ¥ Horse and the Dog—Base Ball, Tennls and Lacrosse, To the Sporting Editor of Tne Ber: Is there any reason under the sun why there should not be a large state coursing meeting heid in Nebraska this coming autumn! Tho state has all the natural advantages pos- sessod by any other state, viz: pleuty of jack rabbits ana a grand scope of level prai- rie country, and the only thing that stands in the way is an organized effort on the part of those who have grayhounds and who possess a knowledge of cour-ing rules and regula- tions, Kvery large enterprise must hinve a beginning and often great eventsare ushered in.with very emall beginnings, but coursing is not an oxperiment by wny means, the American Coursing club having held six large successful meets ut Great Bend, Kan., and has become of national importance, pat- rons of tho leash being present from tho ¢: treme points of America—Maine and Califor- nia—the latter stute carrying home the hon- ors in 01, with Chicopee Lass, a grand little woriter that merited the title she wom Cali- fornia is holding soveral meotings ¢ and Salt Luke City, we understand, is “hav- ing o local meet every Saturday. "Tho inclosed mectings at Omaha, Council Bluffs and Lincoln should have stimulated the interest sufliciently to have resulted in a state organization. Tam sufoin saving that it 1s not for lack of material, but for want of a sel{-apnointed comimittee that will make a call at some cen- tral point for organization, When the American Coursing club was first (hougbt of, to put the thing to u test, the writer made a call for a meev 10 take placo on the Cheyenue plains, near Great Bend, Kan., with theiutention of forming an organization at the time of the meeting, but 110 souner bad the call appeared toan several advised calling n meeting t once for the pur- nose of perfecting an organization. This tho writer did by naming July 0 as the tune and Topeka as the place of meating, A goodly number was presont from dif- feront purts of the state, and a wide-awako and enthusiastic meeoting was held at tne Fifth Avenue hotel. Officers were elocted, rules chosen, a constitution and by-laws formed, the time appoiuted for tho middie of October wna the place first selected mado the pluce for the coursing, and, as 1s well known, the running meeting was largely attended and a fouddation laid for one of the most im- portant sporting events was ushered in that this couniry has known-—the great value of which will yet be seen. It is honest racing. quick, intensely interesting, will ~gever lag for want of ma- teriul or enthusissm. Any number of grayhounds have been imported, and one party has sent across the water for some of the brood of tho great Fullerton. four times winner of the Waterloo cup (82,500). Fine breeding kennels have been estab. Dished 1n various parts of the country, and today there are nundreds of good high-bred grayhounds, where a few ycars ago there were only dozens. At the meeting at_Great Bend, October, 1801,Dr. N. Rowe, editor of the 'American 1101, was ohosan presidont of the club,and the meeting in 1892 will be graced with s pres- ence. “He has contributed 3100 each year to the prizes, and the columns of his journal is the only ore in this country having a special greyhound department.

T could name a dozen or fifteen elegaut gen- tlemen in Omaha, Council Bluffs, Lincoln and Beatrice alono that would maio a grand nucleus for a coursing club, among which 1 wight name Captain P, H, Rav of Omaha, Uolonel Duly of Courncil Bluffs, B.

Buffun of Lincoln, and others who are none the less prominent and enthusiastic whose names [ am unable to vecall at pres- ent, ar.d who would at once rally avound the standard of any well known and honorable pentleman who would make o call for organ- lzation, 1 am so confident of this because many of those ia the cities named have expresse strong desire for a state meeting, and prob- ably each one is wuiting for the other to take action. The Ameriean Courstng club holds its seventh annual meeting at Great Bend, Kan., October 25, ana a meeting in Nebraska could be uppointed the week previous, which would enablo those who intend to coutest at both meetings Lo bo present.

Surething plas ors, covering “their identity by a club aame and operating by the help of the polica officers pliaut to their purposes in pugilism %0 as never to lose, have been familiar fignres in the game at’ the east. The happy reflection regarding them whenever they ap- pear is, that after they turn about one proven and palpable dirty teick, their name becomes “Dennis,” and they wear the mark of the robber for life. A “galiey sluve branded on the forchead with & hotiron has somoetimes succeoded, 1t is saM, in effacing the mark of his ignominy at the cost of considerable phy- sical pain and after the outlay of money. Is thore an exception, however, to the rule that a man proven to be concorned in robbing o fighter of his rights has never been ablo to maintain himself or rogain caste among good sportsmen or fair-minded of pueilism.

OMATIA, Aug. 13.—To the Sporting Editor of Tie Bre: What's the matter with or- ganizing a lacrosse, club in the city? Any- one haviug scen the game oncs will not hesitate one moment in pronouncing 1t the most exciting and interesting sport of out door gam hould a club be organizad there would be plenty patrons of it, and it would soon take the plazoof that overdone professional game ~baseball. 1t is the Can- adian national game, but is rapidly springing into hiot favor in tho eastern citios, while out along the Coast all the largs American cities are onthusiastic over it. In Canada whero they used to have baseball leagues lacrosse has put them out of existenco and draws hundreds of people whero bascoail did dozens. 1 tuks this way of asking co-opora- tion from Canadians and others in the city who are desirous of formng a club, and would asik anv who are in‘erested in tho gamo to writo or call at my address, when, if enough interest is shown it A meoting can be called for organization. There are quite & number of old-time lucrosse players in the city from Canudian cities, and thiese will, I am suro. willingly pitch in and wive Omahaus & ctiunce of secing the grandest and most ex- citing game of all games. Now that the city base ball club has disbanded lacrosse, once introduced, would becomo the rage, for even tho most exciting of foot ball matches would not bo in 1t with a fair game of Ia. crosse. Not one in fifty in tais city has ever scon a lnerosse, ana many have an idea it's a forra of tennis racquet and that lacrosse re- sembles tennis. Anvone who takes an interest in the zame, orany Canndians, old-time players, are re- quested to drop me a line, when we may ar- rauge for a moeting. FRANK J. Pennr Care of Windsor Hotel.

But the M-W league knew a thing or two, chief among which was that Milwau- kee's oredit in a base ball way wasn't worth a mill on the dollar, and last. woek sho was emphatically and peremptorily tnformed that sho couldn’t get in for love nor mouey, that they could nat afford to take in a1y choap villages in the circuit, and didn’t want to be further importuned upon the subject.

To the Sporting Editor of Tue Bee: read your statoment in I'ne Suxpay BEE concerning the presect game law with much pleasure, as it coincides with the view I have sought to lmprese upon legislators for ceveral years, What you say in rogard to tho birds being most palatadle when from half to Lwo-thirds grown is an in- disputavle fact. If tho law was such that the people considered it somewhat more roa. sonublo it would be enforced ulmost every- where, but as it 15 now the chicken shooting —except by markel hunters—is all over by Sentemver 10 to 15, beenuse others do not care 1o eat them them after that date, The market shooter, however, fiuds his most profitable shooting after the hot weather is over, and he can ship withoat los- ing o lurge per cout of bis shipment. A law which would wake the open season com- mence not earlier than August |,and not later thun August 15, aud the closed 'season com- mence not Inter than October 1, on chicken, would do more good toward protesting game than the present law, & hundred-fold ovor, C.J.

Undoubtedly & purely running session, to consist of about five or six events, would prove u greater magnet than any other amusement that could possibly be provided. Anyone, man, woman or child, can enthuse over aud onioy & runulug race, and the tre mendous crowds in attendance at the big courses in different parts of the couutry every day fully corroborates the statement that it 18 the big drawing card of the age. It is quick action, full of fire aud snap, excite- ment and uncertainty, just the wents the loyal Americdu reveis in, and the projectors of the above mentioned matinee deserye ovory assistunce and encoursgement in their laudabie enterprise.

Only Two Who Have n Chance, Tommy Ryau of Chieago, who fought Jack Wiikes for $3,000 in South Omaha, Neb, on July 30, must be a first class puginst and of bigher grade than many supposed. Ho demonstrated when he fought Wilkes that ho was a terrible punisher and that ho has greatly improved. On paper it looks as if there was only two pugilists in the world who stand a chance of lowering Ryan's colors, They are (ieorge Dawson, the Aus- trailian 140-pound champion, who recently defeated Dannie Needham in San Francisco, and Tom Willinms of Australia, now in Hag- Iand. 1 think Rvan and Dawson would make a hurricana battle and it would be in order for tho Coney Island Athlotic club to offer a purso for these famous pugilists to battle for. Ryan claims the 140-pound cham- piouship of America, and he is ready to fight all comers ut that weignt for that utle and £.000 & side. ln California sporting men think Dawson is a phenomenon, snd there is no doubt but he is a top sawyer.—Police Ga- zette, Howls from Distant Bleachers.

Jocko Halligan has prbbably played his last ball in_the big leazue. He was sent home last Weduesday for the bajance of the season by the Baltimore management and it 18 not unlikely that he will be put on the pe- rennial vlack list. Charlie Cushman of unsavory Milwaukes memory, is reaping an _abundant harvest for misdeeds committed while in the mauagerial harness. Heis umpiring in the Eastern league, and has already mado oiraculous os- capes enouzh to knoek the history of Jack Cade into a cocked hat. Euadie Burke, the old Milwaukee fielder, has about silenced his New York maliguers. He is putting up an articia of bail for the giants that is restoring much of the old time polo ground enthusiasm, and ~ Cincinnati made a mistuke when they let him go for any old vet of tho O'Neil or Walch stripe.

K. Rife. Chris Von der Abe is nothing if not orig- fnal. His lastest move isto shake up the wmpire system. His proposition 1s that the umpire remain in the city where he 1s loc ted at the begluming of the season until his work becomes uusatisfactory, when he can be transferred. I'or instance, an umpire will be selected in New York to be located at Cincinnati, St. Louis or some other western city, and vice versa. In that way traveling expenses, hotel bills, ete., of the staff of um- pires will bo saved, and there will be loss chance for an umpire to become prejudiced or give any team the worst of it. Fred Clausen's work with Louisville so far has been good, but he has boen unfortu- nate in losing gamos, He made his first ap- pearance at Lonisville against the Cieveland club, The Courier-Journal savs of him: “Clausen has none of the style of his rival, He does not part his hair in the middle or even comb it regularly. He does not spend hours training a moustache. He has no deli- cate poises of the foot or theatrical gestures. Ho mukes no plays for the people in the grand stand, but just pitches like he was in @ close game on tbe ‘commons.’ He has an awkward movement in the box, but all his lack of ‘culchuh’ and grace does not prevent him from being s fine pitcher.
