BREEZY SPORTS OF OCTOBER Big Bass in Nebraska and Where to <et Them. WHISPERINGS OF THE PEDALLD WHEEL The Beal oes from the Track— y Game—Ee Fights and Fighters ~The Sportsman’s Bodget — Bage Ball and Loeal Miscollancous Notes, Oxania, Oct. 7. Tue Ber: The game of chess is pre-emi nently the gamo of brains. It would beas mach of nn anomaly for a person to attain to astate of cxcollenco as a choss player with- out the posscssion of certain valuable and useful qualities of mind as for Baroum's varmless wonder” to excel in base ball or tonnis. He who Las been attracted by the concen- tration of attention necessary in whist will find the samo attraction in chess, but in- creased tenfold. Ho who finds gratification in the excitement attendant upon ‘‘show- down” or seven-up will find tho same exhil- aration in the thick of the fight over a chess boarda, and there is the added desirable feature that tho chass player must, under ull crcumstances and conditions, keop his temper:jto lose his equanimity is to loso his game. The history of chess more than doublos the span of tho history of christianity and los its) bezinuing in the wists of uncertainty. Itisonly certain thut tho gawme had been brought to a high state of perfection by tho nations of tho east before we westerners succeeded 1o it. At the time of Morphy's wonderful Bchievements, hero and abroad, late in the fifties, choss first becamo permanently establisted in America. Up to that time it was only vlayea in a desultory fastion wherever two or three met together and tho regularly organized clubs wero very few. Immeaintely iV becamo kunown that Morphy had attained the world’s championship national pride was aroused ard the game was recognized throughoul the countrv. It is to po regretted that it has oniy bocome firmly established in spots through the western staies, while liv- ing in loxury in thoso of tho east, but it is still a fact. Thero has been us yov but littlo concerted action upon the part of western devotees of the kamo looking toward reguiar organization and maintenance of chess cluvs, although there ave uvcounted chess piayers of no mean strongth on the west side of the Mussissippi. Here in Omaba there are cogent Teasons why a club should tuke form and Ge- velop: W¢ have n state chiampion or two with us and at least a dozen players wio would teke rank in the second or third class, besides hundreds who play without much pretenso to skill. It 1s only necessary that a olub be organized upon @ sound business basis, with eficient officers and (latt but most importaut) with sometling to act as a permanent stimuluz in order to give Omaha aplace as one of the choss centers of the west. The writer has gone through the mill several times and is not ‘“‘guessing’ in the statement of this opimion. ‘I'hree years aco he was appointed as chess editor of the Kan- sas City Journal and edited a weekly chess column in that paper for two yeurs, making a special effort to discover those players of the west who were inert and dormant. The effect was remarkable; a ciub of nearly 100 members was organized in Kansas City: another of 150 members in Topeka, and at least twenty-five smaller clubs grew up over the prairies of Kansas, Missouri and tho neighboriog states, It is, perhaps, nov a matter of wonder that we have no clubs in the western states now of any importanco when we note the fact that there1s nota pewspaper or other periodical west of Chi- ©ago wintch devotes any space to the game or affords chess players any means of inter- communication,without whicl tonic influence little is possible in the way of development.

Catcher Briges is very deaf, and his afii tion, instead of creating sympathy, has been made tho subject of brutal jests and eudless guying by certain players who pose as stars and act like hooalums.

They almost unaumously favor a return to tho old system of two assoclations. Other players say the seasou is too long, and that there are altogether too many gatnes played. I'rank Selee,the manuger of the Bostou club, appears 10 bave hit the nail upon the hesd when he said there were too many champion- ships.

The merry Tourists made the best of their disappointment and some thirty of them vedaled out to Crescont City in the mornirg and Florence lake in the tecnoon, and speat the day quite charm- ingly. ceu- the Oue of the most notoworthy events which has transpired the past week 1o stir the local eveling communily was a delightful little banquet which wus tendered tho gentlemen frionas of the Ladies' Whoel club. The ban- quet was given Wednesday evening at tho Ward & Hopkins cafe on Farnam street. The tables were beautifully decorated with flowers. A good even dozen of tho fair cyclers were 1n_attendance and with them an even dozen of their gentlemen friends, every ono of whom enjoyed the tanquet and the ‘pleasant spin by moonlizht which tol- lowed. A novel featuro of tho affair was tho fact that the ladies paic all expenses, evon to tho renting of whaels for the gentiemen who wore unfortunate enough to have none. The banquet was i great succoss. 1t is noticeable that a great wany of the new riders this season ana some of the older oues have fallen into the bad habit of placing their feot upon the pedals so that tho pedal touches about the middle of the foot. The correct position, 1f adhared to stricily, will be found to 1mprovs tho riders appearance on the whaol, as well as develop the proper muscles of tho leg. The pedal should touch firmly the bali or fovepart of the foot. This imparts the graceful anklo motion so much envied by the majority of wheelmen und wheelwomen, If instructors woald insist upon their pupils paying more attention to lhis little detail ~the stff, unnatural and awkward manuer of pedaling would bo ontirely overcome. The next time you mount your wheel for a spin observe the manner of your pedaling. f your foot lizntly, yet ‘firmly, on the pedal 50 hat the toe of your shoo and the ball of your foot press equally the surfaco of tho pedal, you will be surprised how miuch ensier your efforts at pedaling o, The competition for the Tourist me als conumnues to atiract the attention of the com- peting wheelnen and their many friends, The September scoring has matenally changed the positions of the leaders, I'ho following tavle teils the tale: Rups Attended.
