1 THE OMAHA DAILY B i ~SEPTEMBER SPORTING NEWS Record of All That's Current on Track, Field, 8tream and Diamond. ANDERINGS OF LOCAL WHEELMEN Our Coming Bench Show and its Pleasing Fromise—Guns at Trap and Target— Dying Echoes of the Westorn League—Notes and Queries, The attention of the sporting world 1s cen- tered on New Orleans, where three cham- plonships will be decided tomorrow, Tues- day and Wednesday nights, Tnree famous Pugs, now acknowledged champions of their classes, will meot_aspirants for the titles, and, according to hll accounts, it will be a case of hot stuff ail round. John Lawrence Sullivan, who, for a round §0ozen years, has proven himself tho peer of all pugdom, will have for his opponent Jim J. Corbett, the so-called San Francisco Apollo. George Dixon, the coffee-colored Haligonian, and the undisputed champion of the globe in his class, will run up azainst tall Jack Skelly, the ex-amateur Kking and Jack MeAuliffe, the debonnair Williams- burger, and premier of lichtweights, wiil collide’ with Billy Myer, the Illinois tornado, It will be an incandescent matineo from sound of gong to the cry of *Out!” on the final night, and there will be any quantity of exhilaration for all those who have made the pilgrimage to the city near the gulf. Reports from the seat of war have it that all the six principals are in excollent fig, and ready to battle for a kingdom. Sullivan, the nodern-time gladiator, is down to 205 pounds, and will five and take with Pompadour Jim at not over 215, Corbett is 1n his npormal condition, which is superb,and seemingly anx- fous for the fray. 'I'he biack boy scales 115 Ffl“ndl and is as_fine as silk, while Skelly s ut the required standard, and ready to send a thrill and a sensation throughout this 8ud a couple of other hemispheres. The Coming Dog Show. Few people realizo the extent of the great dog show which is to be given in this city n ctover 28, Tho ontries will not bo confined to Omaha and the state of Nebraska,as there are innumerable requests from other por- tions of tho country. There will be exhibits coming from as far south as Galveston and as far east as Boston. The prizes which have Dbeen offered will aggregate $2,500. These do not include the speciat prizes which some of our leading citizens have generously offerod to give. Any onoiwho has a doz which he toinks of sufficient beauty or attractivencss ‘will have the privilege of “entering the same &t tho show. Tho improssion prevails that before a person can enter a dog at the show he must nocessarily have a podigree, Snuch 15 not the fact. Any person who has his dog registered before making the entry to the secretary of the Omaha Kennel club ean have his dog exhibited at the show just the samo as those who own dogs with pedigrees, Besides all this, there will be a_large miscel- laneous class exhibited, in order that any new points that may be developed in the race can be shown to the public at large. It is gratfying to know that the leadmg citizens of Omaha and Nebraska aro taking a wideawake interest in this, the first exhibi- tion of dogs every held in the state, « The Late Lamented. £ A natfonal bankrupt law would ocertainly A1l a long-felt want wigh the Western league of fragrant memory, assorts Ea Rife. The extent of its llabllities cannot exactly be es- timated, but that they exceed the assets, as base ball assets go, cannot for 8 moment be doubted, President Williams is mourning / the loss of the major portion of his salary, Umpires McQuaid, Snyder, Guenther and BTo out various sums rangiog from due MeQuaid to 8150 due Serad and Guenther. President Speas 1s - short £1,200 advanced in rafiroad fares to various weak- kneed clubs in the circuit, and the players in every team excepting Omaha, Toledo and Kansas City are still holding the sack for their salaries. Here in Columbus ball players for the first time in the history of the game Lere loft town without their money. Itisa record to which tae local directory can searcely point with pride. The St. Paul *‘Jonak” cost the Western league a cool $4,010, and but for that incubus the league might have still been in the iand of the liv- fng. Of the eight clubs Columbus is the only one that paid all its dues and assess- ments to the league. Mihneapolis and Mil- waukeo never pald o cent and—but why moralizel Ring tho bell softly; There's crape on the door. How Dobbs Beat McKenzie, In its story of the Bob Dobbs-George Mo- Keczie fight, the Frisco Chronicle says: When the men put up their hands McKenzie appeared to be very nervous, while Dobbs ‘was skittish and confident. Dobbs is a tricky fighter. He s up to all the worrying tactics of the game, and he tried a number of them on the white man, but McKenzie was cold and could not berattled. It was avery pretty exhibition of skill, in which both men played their lofts for all they were worth. McKen- zie's left is a great stovper, and never did Dobbs lead without getting a return on the mouth, Dobbs hus a long reach, and he also played cleverly at stopping and countering, Hotb mon were awaiting a chance to send in a finisbing right, but altiough thoy led numberioss times they seldom succoeded until the twenty-fourth rouud. In that round both men hastened maters and McKenzio ot & right-hand clip on the chin and down gu went. He commenced rising before ten was counted, but bad not reached his teet sud the referee declared him out. There was 8 howl from the long-euders, and Jordan, thinking there might be a mistakd, ordered tho flzht to proceed,but he changed his mina s moment later aud gave the decision to the colored lad whon the timekcepers assured him that McKenzie had really lost. Hardl ood Form, In three shoots at live birds on the Omaha Gun club grounds Saturday, J. J. Hardin arried off the laurels by an unbroken soore. 'he first was wiss and our, $5 entrance and resulted as follows . 1. Diekey. H. 8.

Thomas Gilbert Vickery roceived his little orize package from the Baltimores last Mon- day. It gave Vick parmission to spend the !Pr{nl:'nco of his natural life at Holly Polnt, Billy Alvord has forsaken the diamond and taken to the road for a Toledocigar house. There nover was a more honest player on the field than Billy, and his familiar name will bo misse: Jimmy Colloy of the Omahas, is playing groat ball for Brattieboro, Here 1s a_third baseman worth looking after.—Phila- delphia Press. Yes, but that 1s about all he is worth, betwaen you and I. Manager Buckenberger of the Pittsburg. says hoe thinks the Smoked Italians will yet winout in the second serics. Yes thats rigut, they'll win out—of sight. Buck's think tank is full of blue mud. Manager Sclee declares thut both games at Kansas oity were championship games, ana thatis how they will probably.stand when the official announcement is made, that is if foxy Frank gets next 1o Uncle Nick first. Gus Schmelz told Frank Seleo that I had been roasting him, but His Lilacs is mis- taken. When I make up my mind toput Mr. Sele on tho spit. ho'll find 1t out soon enough, Gus, youare full of Scioto river water. The Kansas City press stated that the Bos- tons ana the Browns drow 5,802 people at their morning game down thers during the Pythian pow-wow, nearly 5,000 niore than the Western lengue team drew during vhe whole season. Jimmy Manning run in a cold deck on his friend and fellow manager, Ted Salli Ted had his eyes fixed on Nashville as a grout field for the work of revival in ’03, but Manning has slipped in and leasod the park. —Ren Mulford, O.

He did great work in the box, but somehow his team alwost always slipped down behind him.— Exchange. What a_large number of toams ave slipping down behind their pitchers these days, eb, Cincinnatil Kid Nichols was cheered when he made his appoarance on the groundsat Kansas City the other day, says the Times. It fails however to state what it was that cheered Mr. Nichols, whether it was the sight of Ralph Stout’ or Johuny Speas’ Midland Whisky. Ed Kickology Rife of the Ohio State Journal has his regular weekly spasms, He wants the late managers of the Columbus club drawn and quartered as a cara for an afternoon’s sportat the old ball park., He thinks the performance would pack the grounds, Tha difference of opinion as to what con- stitutes a muffed infleld fly is all annoyiog. Fach umpire is disposed to rule upon it his own way. At the next anoual meeting of the League the commities upon rules should sottle the matter so there would be no furth- er mistakes, Base ball {s booming just now better than any time in the season. The grand old gamo stands high, and always will stand high with the American public.—Sporting Life. Yes, that’s the troub e, it stands a trifle too high for a large majority of the American public, and that is what makes necessary just such ridiculous assertions as the above. The Louisvilles arestraightened out au last, and are playing very fast ball. The infield is especially proficient, and the pitchers are offective every day. Clausen is proving & jewel, and is considerea the best left-hander in the country by local cranks. Sanders scems to have at last gottan ia form, and Eldrnl&on is pitching as good ball as hoever 1d. It cost Prosident Speas, of Kansas City, $1,300 to get the Boston and St. Louis teams to Kansas City last Tuesday. The attend- ance was big and he doubtléss got out all right.on his speculation, This was the first League zame Ksnsas Cityans had seen since 1886. when that city was a Legne member, says the Journal, and as it cost Johnny such asum, it is probably the last thoy’ll ever sce. Genius quoersd himself with Cincinnati crowds by smiling every time he struck out. Tt is bad enough te see a home man strike out without the added pain of a view of the victim getting back to the bench as if the funniest event of his life bad just occurred says Mulford. All of which 1s two bad. If Cincinnati wants to get rid of that soul- sickening smile it must either wduce Com- misky to hire a few real ball players, or cut off Frank’s face. That smile was put there by the Creator. The backers of the late lamented Mil- waukee base ball club have beon unpleas- antly reminded of their business failure by two suits for $1,000 each, commenced by C. F. Pfister anc Charles M. Kipp. The de- fendants are H. E. Gi Bartlett and J. C. Iverson. plantifts subscrited $1,000 to the ball club, provided the team should be kept in the city during the seasons of 1801 and 1802, The terms not having been complied with, they want their money refunded. Tu the Field and At the Trap. The coming club hunt to bo hold under auspicos of the Omaha gun club promises to be an 1nterestiag affair. ‘' Goodley Brucher has returned from Peoria, I, whero he went a week ago to at- tond the funeral of a relative, Dave Stubbs has been over in lowa de- populating the chicken. Hels a crack shot aud a woll posted sportsman generally. George A. Hongland returned from Goth- nburg & fow days ago with & nico bag of ‘stubblo duck.”” Oh! they ail get after 'em, YOu know. Joo Langdon Is practicing every day for his coming shoot with Fuller, and Fred had had better be on the qui viye, for Joe is building up a corkine average. A good many of the flsherman who are now off in tne mountamns will witness the fistic evants at New Orleans tomorrow, Tues- day and Wednesday evenings, sure, What's the matter with the Omaha gun olub! Why dout they get back avthe Ray- monds? They are ocertainly the strongest club in the city and should assert themaelves. The ohicken law was up last Thursday and gunners can now venture forth with- out fear of molestation. Theyv must go a long ways, however, for anything like good sport. Notice that Frred Fuller has been after the Iowa rifleman hot foot, and that none of the probibitionists seem anxious for his game, Where is Sackett—he surely has the sand and should call Fred. J. J. Shea of Council Bluffs shot with the the Omaha gun club Saturday, and by the way, killed all his live birds, Says he can’t wiss 'em with Hardin’s oid Lefever. Look out for J. J. hereafter, be'll be on hand It sort o' tickled the bovs when John Har- din polished of Parmelee in that miss and out mateh the other day, and there are uot & few who would lay their money on Johuny in & hundred live bird mateh with Frank. Fred Nichols, botter kuown as ‘“‘Gor- many,” of Calhoun reports a big crov of birds this full. Hesays he has seen more your g Bob Whites this summer than for tive years put together, Will Simeral took 4 run out on the prairie last Thursday and reports bag of eighty- five “'stubble duck,” "Will isn’c much of a sbot with & gun. but my ! that mouth of his, His brace of setters, however, a black and tan Gorden and a Llewellen, would be hard to mateh, Jack Knowles, the old time market hunter, Was oLt after the unlands the other day and bagged thirtv-five. He says that they are as wild as dear and that he didn't kill a bird within eighty vards, He is even williog to swear that he brought two of them to grass at two hundred yards, He shoots a Lefover and it isthe only two huudred yard gun 1a the west, Althougn the Towan’s failed to respond the redoutable Krod Ialler, who asplres to t rifle shooting nhl!nlblmlllllphhu @ watoh on with C.

That would make me hot. What has become of the big shooting tour- nament for this fall that was talked so much of last spring. Thero ure plenty of scuve shooters here now and & successful tourna- ment would be a foregone conclusion. Thers hasn't been a first class shotgun tourney hero sinco Hardin relinquished chargs of local shooting affairs, Omaha has the finest shooting grounds in the west, and why can- ot the various clubs unite 1n a thres or four davs tournament, say for some time in Octo- bor! There are plenty of pigeons in the country and all the conditions are good for a bi success, 1f Grand Island, Columbus and Kenrney can achieve a success in this line, why not Omaba?

The meeting for organizing 8 drivers’ ass ciation will be held at Lexington, October 8. ‘'he splendid race program of the Otoe county fair ought to attract crowds of peo- ple.

The races on at the fair grounas last week were the second event in the C. C. cirouit. This week at Lincoln, then to Topeka and then the grand windup at Wichita. One of the most liberal associations in the west is theone at Ponca, and horsemen should reciprocate with the same liberality by maiking their entries without delay, Online, 2, 2:161¢, on August 18 beat the track record of 2:18'¢, made by his sire, Shadeland Onward, over the Syracuse, Nob., track last year, he making the mile in 2:17. Murtha, in trying to beat tho pool box at Des Moines and keep in the 2:32 class, was forced to take a record of 2:18 and then failed to land the game. The way of the transgressor is hard sometimes. Tho driver of Alarm Call, that died from overexhaustion during the Kriend, Neb., races, states that he desired the owner to draw'the young horse auring the progress o f the race, but he persistontly refased. W. J. Wroughton of Cambridge, Neb,, will be at the state fair at Lincoin with about twenty hoad of his superior draught horses. Visitors will find n his stable horses that will amply repay them for the time spent in inspection, The daily Conservative, Tndependence, Ta., indulged in a bit of satire in the following manner: C. A, Thompson has just returned from Des Moines, a little towa out in the center of the state, that got 1t into their heads last winter and spring to give a trot- ting meeting. but after getting the horsemen ana horses there got frightened and declared their meeting off. There is no use talking, trotting meetings can’t be successful outside of large citios (). The unfortunate sequel of the Des Moines races for which $100,000 1n purses aund stakes were advertised will cause the association much trouble and many suits for damages, A. L. Davies, owner of the stallion Roy Wilkes, which won third money in the £5,000 guaranteed stake for free-for-all pacers at Des Moines last week, has brought suit against that association for the recovery of his winnings on the refusal of the association to pay the same, Mr. Davies has been legally advised that it being for a guaranteed stake he can surely recover, provided the officers of the association are financially responsible for the amount. Mr. D. is very severe in his denunciation of the way the Des Moines association conducted their meeting. The case will be watched with interest by ail horsemen. kAl o Amoung the Bykers. How about that road race! Berlo now holds the two-mile record. His timo is 4:43 25, . Bioycle races av_county and state fairs are as mach of a drawing card as the ‘‘hoss" trots.

Zimmerman, Berlo, Windle, Tyler, Rich and Taylor are booked to ride at the Spring- field and Hartford tournaments. What a field of fiyers this bunch is. Now look out for the champion, E. R. Smith has changed his mind, and will line up with the Omaha Wheel club boys agamn. “Smithy” had decided to give up the wheel for this season. Pretty hard for an active wheelman to forsake his byie.

This was followed at luterval of balf an hour or so vy others, until some twonty-four men had left the club house. At Elk City the Fremont Wheel club boys had rrunnred a flve breakfast, whioch was speed- ly atteaded to by the first and second sec- tions.

Twenty-seven men turned out. The run was called a “blind run,” the peculiarity of which is that no ono knows the club's destination but the ofticers in charge. The wheelmen pedaled around the Omaha streets for a sbort time, then crossed the bridge to the Bluffs and out on the Missouri valley road for two or three miles. The roads were in fine condition and tho moonlight stror g enough to make the riding enjoyable. ‘L'he blind run was a great success, Questions nnd Ausworss There are lotters in this office for William Chapman, Comancho Bill, sprint runner; Dick Moore, pugilist, and Joo XKelly, ball player, Antixgrox.

HO GIVETH T0 THE POOR” Preparations for the Sucoor of the Needy in Omaha This Winter. SUBSTANTIAL SYMPATHY SYSTEMATIZED Organization of the Associated Charitiei— Pressing Wants Ennmerated by Secro. tary Clark—What Was Dono Last Winter-~What Will Be Done This. In tho book of Proverbs we road that *‘He that hath pity upon the pour lendeth unto the Lord.” The people ot Omaha evidently believe that the security is perfectly good, for they are proparing to ‘‘lend to the Lord by giving 10 the poor’" this winter as they never gave before. Tt should not be supposed that this means alavish ana reckloss bestowal of goods upon the needy, for it means quite a difforent sort of charitable work. It vontempiates a sys- tematic and generous helping of all dese ibg people who have found 1y impossible 1o provide themselves with the necessitios of life, und also an oxtending of the helping hand to those who dosire to be placed in a position to help themselves. These are tho paramount-objocts of vhe ovganization known as the Associated Cbaritios of Omaha. The organization begau its work last December in & sort of preliminary way. A few earnest workers undertook to get the wvarious charitably inclined people all united in a genoral and systematic effort. But the winter was already begun and the organiza. tion was oblized to take hold of the work and do tho best pos- sible with the meager facilities at hand. Mr. A. P. Hopkius, Prof. J. A. Gillespie, Rev. A. W. Clark and others were zealous and energetic in the good work dur- ing tho entire winter. Beginning last December, the organization has up to the present assisted about 2,300 needy people. Inaddition to this 3,400 meals have been given to stngle men who worked m the wood yard on Tenth street. ' organization has also assisted very offe ually in helping along the Boys and Girls home, & bhilanthropin enterprise started under the direction of Mr, Alexander Hoge- land of the National Boys and Girls Home association. This institution is located at 2517 Calawell streat and is a sort of refuge for homeless boys and girls. The littie wanderers are taken there and kept until other homes can be found for them. Tney are seatout from this temporary refuge to all parts of the country. At prosent, Rev. A. W. Clark, secrotary of the Associated Charities, is superintend- ing tho operations of the home, as the asso- ciation cannot afford to employ a man ospecially for that work. The headquarters and offico of the Asso- clated Charities is located on Tenth screet between Dodge and Capitol avenue. The office 1s in the rear of the clty mission build- 1ng. The main part of the building is used for Sunday school and the sewing school classes made up of the poor children of the lowsr part ot the city. This work has been eminently successful and is highly appreciated by the people, both old and young, who receive tho benofit. Another important department of the work couducted by the Associated Charities is the medical dispensary and attendance furnished o poor people at the trifling expense of 10 cents. In this work the association has had the hoarty co-operation and assistance of a number of the leading physicians of the city. WThere are several things that we aeed,’’ sald Secretary Clark to & representative of Tnr Bue yesterday wbile discussing tho work of the association, “‘First of all we need a larger headquarters. We want a large building centrally located where wo can have an office, a dispensary, a store room for provisions, a lunch room and & separate department for the accommodation of those who wish a place to sleep. We also need a sewing room whore we can furnish poor women with work at sewing carpet rags, making and mending plain clothing, ete. “All these should be located in one largo building so that the different departments of the work may be conducted aconomically and successfully. The wood yard snould be located down along the railroad track, where wo can ot the wood delivered right from the cars. The cost of hauling it several blocks is con- siaerabie. If we can got .a place favorably located, the wooa yard work will become one of our ohief sourcés of revenue if properly managed “The first and all-important ' matter, it seems to me, is to secure a building where we can supply poor people with food and lodging without haying to send them to vho lunch countors or lodging-houses about the city. Wo can then keep our eves on them and sce what sort of people they are. Some good-for-nothing feliows come along just about dark ana beg for a supper or a place to sleep. If we give them meal ticketsor bed tickets good at some chop house or lodgin g house, it is quite likely that they will not return next morning to pay for the uckets by working in the wood yard, so we are obliged to refuse assistance sometimes on that account. I know of several wealthy mon in Omaha who are willing to_give all the way from $100 to $1,000 each to this work just as_soon as the association 2an get a good building and secure facilities for pushing the work thoroughly and systematicall, We are now looking for just such & building. It is pos- sible that it will have to be built new for the purposes which I haveiudicated, but wo may find one that can be remodeled and fitted up all mght,” Tho association has done o great deal of good during the past year n securing trans- portation for poor people from Omaha to various points over the country whither they wanted to go in order to reach friends, A great many men have been supplied with places to work through the efforts of the accretury, Mr. Clark, and thousands have been supolied with 100d and clothing since last December, 1t is no exaggeration to state that when the association gets a new headquarters fitted up ns suggested by the secretary Omaha will be in u position to tuke better care of its poor than any other western city. The association will work on the plan adopted years ago by the Associated (hari- ties of New York and Brooklyn. Every person applying for assistance wiil be registered, and the kind and umount of assistanco extended will be re- corded opposite each nume, The needs of the applicant will be carefully investigated, Frauds will be exposed, and ihe deserving poor will be helped. One great object of the association will ve to place people 1n & position to heip them- selves by socuring work iu the city or coun- try. 1t is feared that the soarcity of work for the common laborer class in Omaha this year will be the cause of & great deul of des- titution and suffering this winter. A great inany laborers have waited week after week through the summer hoping that public im- provements would be commenced and thoy could get work., They have run in debt, and now with tie summer almost gone they have no work, Secretary Clark is endeavoring to persuado as many as possible of the laboring class to go to the country as soon as corn cut- ting and busking begius, with a hope that they may save sowe money during the [full and early winter. A great many have gone out duribg the harvest and haymakiug soa- son avd have doue well. The incorporators of the Associated Charl- ties wore Herman Kountze, W.
