Bob Fitzsimmons maae his debut with & variety company at Brookiya last woek, The attempt at beroics when the lines described Fitz.as a better man than Corbett, was vigorously hissed. Omahans stand a good show of witnessing several iutoresting contests this winter. Particulars later on. Joe Choyuski and Georze Godfrey of Boston are matched to meet at the Coney Island Athletic club, This will be a prize fight sure. It is possible that Cal M. by v matehed to fight ten rounds with Siin Collins, instructor of the Nonpareil Athletic club, Now York, at the next boxing show of the Manhattan club. George R. Clark_of Chicago offered Dick Roche when in New Orleans, §2,000 if he would match Jack McAuliffe against Tommy Ryan for $10,000 a side. This, however, was done without Ryan's sanction. Harry Overton is coming over from Kng- land to tackle Jack McAuliffe for the light— weight championship. Jim Burge, another Briton, is also after the title, and thus Mc- ‘Auliffé has two more snaps on hand. A subscriver writes: ‘Please state through your columns which gave his opponent the Dest tight, Sullivan or Myers! That is easily answered. Sullivan made the poorest fight of the thrdo defeated men, as incredible as that seems. Dom McCaffrey says he will make no farther advances toward meeting Corbott. buc heis ready any timeon the original terms. If they meet on these lines Dominick should win. Tho man doesu'tlive who can koock aieCaffrey out in four rounds. Eddie Pierce, the New York feather- weight who lately fought a draw with George Siddons, is anxious to fight again and has good backing. He will fight George Dixon, or if the latter cannot make a u.atch now neé will take on Johnny Van Heest. Jim Corbett says that Charley Mitchell 1s the first man ho wants to meet, and a long- suffering American pablic will hail the day wher. this takes place, as in it the English blowhard will receivohis everlasting quietu However, they will never fight—Charley is 100 foxy. Citizen George Francis Train couldn't withstand the temptation to break 1n ana he sent his greeting to *Citizen World’s Cham- vion Corbett”” in the following words : *Stand on your laurels and quit ring for stage! Don’t accent Jackson's challenge. I know him!" And be might very appropriately aaded ‘so do you.” Bob Fitzsimmons is so awkward o his mov ts that he sometimes stumbles over the cane he always ocarries. He made the foolish preak that be woula like to tackle Corbett. That was before the surprise party. Hols frank enough now to declare that he will nov push his claim for an argu- ment. 1 do not taink Sullivan can ever whip TTUorbert,” says Phil Casey. -“John was as good & man in that fight as” he ever will be. Furthermore, I dou’t think he will ever fight n. It was his intention upon entering the ring that fatal Wedneaday night to make & short address to_the crowd, stating his de- termination to quit thering forevor, whether he won or lost.” Jack Skelly has fought his first and last fight as a professional. He will wed that sweotheart for whom he strove to win fame and fortune. W. H. Reynolds, bis wealthy friend and hacker, insists on beiug Cupia's assistant in the matter, gna he will escort Jack clear to the foot of Hymen's aitar. The boy made a plucky fight—about the best of the three losers. On Monday night, October 3, Johnny Griffin and Jimmie Lynch are to meet at the Coney Islund Athletic club to battie for the 122.nouna championship and a $2,500 purse. On the night of the McAuliffe-Meyer fight Griftin said to me: “1f you want to win alit- tle money, Sandy, put It on me. You cav get & play in Omaha, und I'm a dead sure win- ner. Tlllick Lynoh in a canter.” Itis doi- lars to dimes he is rignt. Among & group of sporting and newspaper men discussing fights and fighters over the St. Charles bar on the afterncon of the Dixon-Skelly fight, Jimmy Carroil smd: I bave managed Bob Fitzsimmons for more than a year and I know exactly what he is. He has great shiftiog ability, but {sn’t game, ana toree or four stiff drivesin the stomach will make him quit. 1f he ever meets Jim Hall be'll get what he is aching for—a gooa beating.” Macon, in bis resume of the lastof the reat contests, asserts: ‘Sullivan never aw the day when he was the equal of Jem Mace'in fistic skill when Mace was Mace. 1 saw the groat eypsy fight Tom Allen snd Joo Coburn and 1 aver now that Jim Corbett is far aud away cleverer thau Mace ever was, 8 good deal shiftier ou his feet and by far & heavier hitter.” Mac os again on velvet. His prediction of the result of the big fgnt saved his life. Storles that reflect to the credit of the new champlon of the world are constantly crop- ping out. At the Southern Athletic club's Teception “Geotleman Jim" drank nothing ut & glass of milk. One of his friends lifted 8 glass of wine to bls lips, saying: “Jim, I have not tasted wine for two years, but I will break my pleage to drink to your heaith.” “Wait & moment,” ssid Corbett, “'gou may drink 1y health 'in water, but if you touch that wine to your lips L will never ak to you again. I will not bave your pledge broken for my sake.” That is very very pretiy in Jim, isn't it} Frank Hough who did”’ the fights for the Philadelphia Press 1n his sum up says: Corbett's viotory will make a departure in the stvle of pugilism of which Sullivan has been tne chief exponeut for the past decaae. 1t will tend to make the ‘anly art' more of science than ever and materially reduce the effectivencss of brute strength sud hard hitting.

Corbett's latest addition o the literatures of tve late fignt is @ very ioter- esting review.

During the races at the trotting park yes- teriay evening, says the Spritgfield Ga- zette, Jack Prince of Omaha, the bicycle wonder and record-breaker, gave another wonderful exhibition of his speed and endu- rauce, 10 which he broke tho world’s profos- sional record for a quarter of a mile. He dia it without a pacemaker, and had he been speeded could haye covered the full mile, no doubt 1n_ 2:04 It was on the rough and wavy horse track, 8L Do point s smooth as a bicycle trock. Prince took & figing start, and came down the guarter under tho wire “like a streak of lightning” in 3014 seconds, lowering the world’s profos- sional record, which was 3315, The marvel- ous speed attained by Prince on that rougn course wouid have been 27 or 25 on a smooth track. He rode a twenty-three pound wheel geared to seventy -two 1nches. Bicyclists at thetrack gathered arouud Princs and con- gratulated him on his great feat. Lily Will Make a Record, Edward W. Moulton, the trainer and man- agerof Lily Williams, the bicyclist, has a new project in view for his protege. They are now at Elgin, IlL, ana Moulton’s ides is nothing more or less thau a scheme to estab- lish & century ruo over the famous Elgin- Aurora course, but their time has been very slow and no official recora has been made. About the 27th of the month Miss Willlams will make an effort to_establish a record which will be hard to break. The young lady has already commenced active training for her ride, which will be made on_a safety wheel.

It will give Omaha a splendid ad, and every aid, every encouragement should be exteuded the club in its laudable undertaking. Hastings College Athletes. HasTixos, Neb., Sept. 22.—To the Sporting Editor of Tue Bee: The Hastings College Athletio association of Hastings, Neb,, has elected as officers for the coming school year: George Norlin, president; K. A. Patérson, treasurer and C. B. Altchison, secretary. The association starts out well for the new year and the prospects of a_revival of athle- tics 1n dollege circles in Hustings were never better.

Jack Crooks, atter a long rest, is back on second for St. Louis and is playing a better game than ever before. Jake Beokley was fined 50 in New York last weex for telling Umpire Lynch he was full of cholers microbes ., Big Sunday, with the late Johnny Speas, was one of the biggest hitters in the South- ern league, with the pipe for a arget. John T. McGlone, the old Omaha third basemau, has won 8 fight with gastric fever and is st work st the Brooklyn navy yard. Frack Ward 15 called the *Human Hyena" even in bis own town of Baltimore.—New York Herald. Out here be was called “Pig."

Chattanooga has already sicned Bob Gilks for 93, Gilks played great ball for Mobile during the past two months, and all the outhern league managers have been making a lively hustie for his servioss for next vear. Morritt, the young back stop of the Louis- ville nine, resembies Morgun Murphy of the Cincicnatis in his actions when bebind the bat. He is as quick as a flash and he handles the delivery of Sanders and the other twirlors 1n fine shape. Joe Hornung, who has been playing ball since the flood, s the last to fiud a mate for Glasscock’s oyster can. A deaa uncle of his has come t life and left him 35,000 Clinkers Fagin and Reday Hanrahao had better get a move on themselves.

Kolly never saw the day he coula lay his clamps on $21,000. Jack Frost will make his bow long befors the last league championship game is plaved. Thero is uearly a whole month of campaigaing bofore the twelve, for tne season does not clase until October 15, While Cleveland has no mortgage on the leaa reasonably good ball playing ought to keep them at the top. * Bos- ton is sincerely striving to cut them out and win both series, thus makinga play-off for the flag unnecessary. The lateness of the season holds littie promise for phenomenal interest in a battie between Cleveland and Boston for the ponnant. Both cities are in the cold beltand the atmosphare thero will doubtless be decidedly chilly before the reg- ular season closes. The league commences 1ts fieht too early and closes 100 late. With six months contraots in force next year there may be change in that program, Our old triend Jack Crooks is still at his sly tricks. He is now working a St. Louis réporter in the following chalienge: *‘Please suy for me that [ am willing to throw 100 balls for §1,000 a side with any infielder in the country, the contest to take place on a skin diamond and the contestant who makes the least errors to take the stake. This challenge is open to any infielder in or out of the big league, and I am ready to place the money now, the match to take pluce when the playing season isover.” IfJack tas £1,000 or any part of it to bet on any proposi- tion the rake off in that dining car job he heid last winter must bave been enormous. He p robably meant he would bet a package of cigarettes—of the Charlev Reilly brand. Whoen in Columbus Crooks was great on throwiug balls, but they wero of the “hign’* variety and the price was 5 cents per ball— that is where the “‘tab” dido’t go. -E. K. Rife. Au_eastern writer has something pleasant o say about “Cush’s” umpiriag in a recent Buffalo-Binghampton game, Hesays: “Mr. Cushman, formerly manager of the Milwau- keo club of the Western association, had a very unpleasant time of it in the umpire's position. Cushman apparontly was trying 10 pleass everybody, and, as_the oid saying He pleased nobody.! The 400 became greatly worked up over some of Cushman’s decisions and maae life miserable for that gentleman. Some of tho tives hurled from the grand stand at Mr. Cushman, when he pulled his book from his pocket to consult the rules, would cause & smile to illuminate the phiz of a stone man. A small boy away up in the corner of the grand stand notified Cushman that he was ‘holding the book up- side down.’ The umbire seemed bothered about finaing the paruicular rule of play that would fit the occasion, and finally gave up in despair amid the yells and hoots of the congregation. Verily, Mr. Cushman had a plewsant time."” Two wmore base ball leagues have turned their toes up to the daisies within the past week—the Eastern and Northwestern league. Both failures are due to the slump in base ball that wrecked the Western league two months ago. Speaking of the death of the Eastern league the Rochester Union says: “The base ball reaction set iuslong ago 1n this city, and it is doubtful if any encourage- ment can be aroused for the sustainig of & club next year. The ingiorious results of the last * two seasons have sick- ened and aisgusted the most ar: dent devotees of the national game, Manager Watkins will bundle the remains of Rochester home to a long-suffering obase ball public.” Che Eastern league will appiy for permission to reserve its players until next season, and it is possible that thero will bo another organization in the spring. Should the national board refuse to allow the reservation claim because tie season was not finished, the cfubs will pay their men up to October 1, and then the protection asked canuot be denied. Winfield Scott Camp, the Omaba bog, is now consiaered the coming pitoher of the North Pacific league. He was born in Columbus, O., in December, 1569. When very young he moved to this city, and re- cewved his schooling in the national game here. While still a mere boy he made quite a reputation as an outfielder, and it was not until 1859 tbat he tried his baud at pitching. W. E. Rockwell, president of the Pacific Norihwest league was then a resident of Omaba aud was handling the Garneau Cracker Company team, which played Sun- day games at & summer resort. One day being bard up for box talent, the mauager pressod Camp inte service, although the youngster hud no experience ia this line. Ho had plenty of speed, however, aud 5000 mas- tered the curves. He atonce branched out s & “‘phenom,” and before the season ended was pitching for teaws in Seward and other towns in Nebraska. 1n 1890, whe Rockwell 00K the mauagement of the Seattlo team, oue of the first men signed was *'Kid” Camp. In his first professional season the oung pitcher made a creditable record d last season. continuing with the same team, he developed into the star viteher of tne league. Last full he made the trip 10 California witn the champion Portlands and atiracted & great deal of attention by his fine work. e was snappod up by the Pittsburg league Leam over Lhe protest of the Seattle club, which believed itself entitled to hold him as a reserved player. The powers that be in base ball decided, however, that the reserved rule was dead, and the ~Kid” went to Pittsburg thisspring. There he was ziven no chance Loshow his worth, being kept on the bench while the veteran' stars pitchea, and was occasionally but 1n to finish out & game which one of them had already lost. In Juue the Seattle club, beiug iu need of another strong pitcher. secured Camp's release from Pittsburg, and be returned tothe town which has witnessed practically all of his career as a professional ball player. Since joining the team bis work in the box has been of the bighest class and has doue & great deal toward oringing the championship 1o Seattle. Cawp measures b foot 1115 incues and weighs about 160 poands. He has good' speed, ex- cellent coutrol, and snlendid curves, which Lo makes uso of with Boe judgment and never gois rattled, no matter how hard he is hit.

They said they wouidn’t have missed it for & farm. Thoey say that Billy Schnell and Ike Hol- won of the Tourists would rather walk than ride from Fremont to Omaha. The boys hold the walking record from Elk City fu. having established it one day of last week vetween the hours of 8 p. m. and 4 a. m. One of the Omaha Wheel club boys, prom- iuent 1n cycling ciroles, 18 thinkiug of trad- 1ug o his wheet for a Rocky Mountain goat, not because he 1s disgusted with cyeling but because he wants 10 try & novelty. This is the ramor that is floating around Perrigo's. ‘I'be Misses Frazier, two of Omaba's plucky little lady cyclists, accompauied the Tourists 1o Blair last Sunday and rode the entire dis- tance, averaging ten miles an hour. ‘They returned as far s Calhoun and then took tne train home, having wheeled forty or fifty-six miles, z It is an assured farz that the Tourist Wheelmen are to occupy club rooms this winter. A cosy suifi of Tooms has been found and will be furnished as early as pos- sivle for M\curlncy about the middle of Oc- tober. The club buve ‘decided 1o take this step in order Lo keep ifs' members together during the months thay tiding is oot Lo be en- joyed. 3 Like o thunderbolt comes the news that “Bounie" Johnson, th® " Minueapolis flyer, has smasbod the breathi but of the nuve-mile safety record, on the Judependence kite. 1f true, the time 1s 2:04 50k ‘and was made last week. Now, Zimmie, ‘Faylor, Osmond and Windle will have to fake off heir caps o westerp muscle and pluck, Providing the roadsmee rideable and the weather permits the Omaba Wheel club and the Tourist Whueelmen will ride & century today. Toe Tourists start for Elk City in in the moruing and will make Gleawood on the roturn, Every member who intends to €0 Ou the run, whether he wishes to inish or not, is requested to register at Daxou's. A registor will also be found at Elk City and Glenwood. The Omaha Wheel club reverse the route, going to tilenwood first aud finish- iog on the Elk City course. The distauce is 104 mules. Last weex's Thursday evening ruc of the Young Meu's Christian association cyolers and Tourists was ‘corker,” about forty wheelmen turning out. After & uice little spin o Fprt Omaba the party proceeded to the association building, where Captain Grant and Prof. Sneldon of the cyclers had repared & feast of watermelons and other ruit, which was greatly enjoyed by the boys. T'he bath rooms and gymuasium were thea turown open and the wheelmen invited 10 use them for the evenlog. A beautiful day, perfect roads, the largest congragation of wheelmen ever assembled at aoy Nebraska point, a general good feeliog toward oue anolior, and the “biggest time' ever experienned the cyolists of ¢ N arl and Platte valleys marked the first annual reunion of the Interstate Wheelmen on iast Sundl( at Biair. Did they haye a Jolly ume! Well, I guess yes! Was the meet a ' success! Ask that question of any one of the 130 odd wheeimen who attended. The day will always Le re- membered by those who had the pleasure to be present, as one of the happiest epochs in thelr cycling caroer. rybody was there! They came early, they came late, they came | in twos, threes, dozens and scores. The as- sembly Included the man who rides the natty pueumatic, the enthusiastio supporter of the solid-tired safety and the old- timer that still oclings to the grand ola ordinary, and its Dpleasant long ago memories. Biair, the auiet little country place which lies so' najacent to all the lively eyeling Lowos within the radius of 100 miles, nover befure received such an 1n- flux of merry wheeimen since the days it first donned the habiliments of cityhood Every country road that found its way into the proity litile town was marked with in- numerabie tracks left by the speeding wheels. Fron, early Saturday evening until iate Sunday morning the whoelmen poured into the town. It reminded one of tne storied days of the crusades when pilerims wended their weary way to the sacred shrine, only ia this case the caravans were com. posed of crowds of swittly-moving, gleaming whools and the pilgrims were athletic young feliows bent on seeking & good time, ana they had it. The meet first orizinated in the winds of the members of the Omaha Whoel club and by their untiring zeal and the valuable aid rendered by the other wheelmen the 1dea blossomed into a grand and successful reuaion, beyond the most sanguine hopes; but tho dav has passed and now only lives in the pleasant memories of the fortunate follows who were tuere. .Old frienasnips were reuewod, avd new ones maac. The wheeimen all ‘became acquainted, and with many the samn acquaiutavces will not be soon forgotten. ‘The Omaha Wheel club boys proved that they wers & royal set of entertainers, and every man who was for- tupate enough to partake of their hospitality will voto them capital fellows. But for the dotails, The rendezvous was located in & preity little grove just within _the city’s contines, a well selectea spot. Dele- gations from Missour1 Valley, Ia , Logab, Ia. Council Bluffs, la.: Fremoot, Neb.: Platts- mouth, Neb.; South Omaha and Omaba, wero there. The Fremont wheelmen, under the guidance of genial Charlie Nicolemus. created quite a stir with their firey red caps and enormous visors. They area merry lot and made many fricnds. The Patterson brotners from Plattsmouth were decidedly ‘40 the push.” The Logan Wheel club, nine men, under vommand of Captain McUCabe, accompanied the Missouri Valley Wheel club, under command of Captain Kendall. There were about a dozan of tne latter club. Messrs. Carruthers ana Hattenhauer repre- sented Council Bluffs, and South Omaba was represented by E. F. Congaon. The Mardolin club from Omaha was on theground aud rendered some of its exquisite music Tae Omaha Wheel club haa about twenty- oieht wheels in the parade although many more of the bovs were in attendance. The Tourist Wheelmen under command of Cap- tain Potter, however, “fetched the bun for the largest attendance, they baving forty- two men in line. Tne Omaha cyclists rode up 1n tho morning and back in the evew. 2. When the main body of the ‘T'ourists swe, 1nto view on the De Soto road they had the appearance of an army of cavalry swooping down 1o take tkeir positions in @ line of bat- tle, the peculiar combination of glittering steel and clouds of dust produced an effect to be remembered. Every hotel and restau- rant was filled to_overflowing after the pa- rade. Through the kinaness of tho managers of the Keeley institute, many of the cyclists were enabled to procure au_elogant dinuer at this popular cure. At thegrove i the after- noon @ local photo artist caught the wheel- men in several positions. By some misun- derstanding the report was circalated that there would be bicycle races at the quarter mile track aud many of tbe Blair people wended their way to the fair grounds to see them. It was a mistaken ides, as the wheel- men bad made no_arrangements torvn a race program. Now that the first reunion was such a success lst us try to make next year's ‘“‘hand shake" eclipse the first. We can doitif everybody will bear his weight on the pedais and *'go with the push.” In the Field und at the Trap. There will be a live bird shoot at Sarpy mills this afternoon.

BEATRIC ~Tothe Sporting Editor of the Bek: Will you piease give u brief his- tory of Llora Temple. the trotting queen of thirty yeurs azo,und compare her with Nancy Hanks 0f todayt—0ld Timer. Aus.—Flora Temple was as much of a sen- sation thirty vears ago as is Nancy today. Her record was made October 15, 1859, when James McCaun drove her a mile in 2 Cincinnati. She was thus the first trotter to do a mile under 2:20, cunsidered a wonderful occurrence theu. This recar she enjoyedd for about eight years,when Bud Doble drove Dexter in 2:19, Although there 1s nearly fifteen seconds difference between Ilora Temple snd Nauncy Hanks, the trotter of today is not that much faster than the trotter of thirty-three years ago. T'here has prob- ably been an improvement of at least tweive conds, bowever, sud the pnéumatic tired lky and the kite shaped track may be re- spousible for the remainivg two and one- balf seconds. Flora Temple was foaled in 1845, and was 11 years old before she began 10 do fast trotting. Her sire was Bogus Hunter and her dam Madam Temple, both horses of what would now be called quite ordinary breeding. OMARA, Sept.
