That bis holiday will be more abbreviated than the general public imagives there s but little doubt in mv mind. Jew's thirst for the real excitement of the twenty-Tour foot ring is too ravishing to be long endured. Mark my words, the date of his next fistic meeting will be authentically announced ere the blus birds begin to pive their vernal lays, Dick Moore, than whom uo other fighter stands better among the Owaha fancy, is belug hundlee, or is handling himself, very baaly. Heis now matched to fight Henrv Baker, the Michigan heavyweight, for an in- siguificant purse, some where near Chicago the 10l of ‘this month. This indis- criminate match-making for meal tickets is what is going to lay Dick on the sbelf. Since be made his disastrous debut here with Tim Niland at South Omaha, a year ago, he has fought a dozen fizhts or mewe and husn't realized &s many hundred doliars outof all of taem. He has en- dured some terrible beatings, 100, 1u this @o- as-vou-pleass, flght-at-the-drop-of-the-hat career, and the only redeeming feature con- neoted with it, 1f itis a redesming feature, 18 that e bas won every time be nas put up bis hands with the singls cxception above meutioned. This he lost from over-confidence and lack of .training. Since then he has been seen twice by the local patrons and in both instauces be gave away pounds aud pounds in weight and vet was an easy vic- tor. He puncbed out P. J. Griffin, the big sprinter, at South Omabs in the most ap- proved styls, and before the Omaha Atnletio club made s monkey out of Jack Ryan's lubberly brother. Since then he has whipved Henry Baker, Tim _ Sul- livan, Joe Tausey, Billy Gibbs, Wilev Joe Crowley aud a job r fighters and still bis name has mever yet been mentioned in connection ith " a mateh before any of be big, legitimate sporting clubs. That ‘Moore is deserving of a better fate no one will gainsay. Helsa square, honest fighter aud possessed of much move real worth tnan be s generally accredited, with. The wise course for Dick to pursue ‘would be to aban- don this barnstorming, back-alley kuockout program, get a eompetent msnager, make a match before one of the reputavle clubs for a purse worthy the distinction, win it and take a promenade on Easy avenue, The imwpetuous and the impatient who ap- vrebeud a lone monotonous wait belora th will bs granted an opportunity of seeing Cbampion Jim Corbett inside the roes aguin are reckoning, 1 believe, without their host. ‘fe most imminent danger is that if the tumorous process through which the cham- pion’s oranium has been goiog since that eventful September night at New Orlenns $ontinues much longer there will not be a club house in the land large enough to ac- commodate its abnorma! prorortions.

Of all others, a second match with the Boston boy is the one Jem would prefer—tnere is no doubt about that. He recognizes cleaviy the dimensions of the pie that would again be bis.

Omaha lovers of tne manly art of self-de- fense will be afforded an opportunity of seeing some of the shining lights in this line this winter. The Omaba Athletic clubis making arrangemeuts for a series of exhioitions that will give it high rank among the organiza- tions of this class. Negotiations for the in- itial performance are being made, a specific anvouncement of which may e expected shortly after election. Itis a mistake about Jack Wilks, alias Jobnny Walker, being matched awrainst George Dawson, Those Frisco people are not as big jays as tney look, and Jack Wilks couldn’t zec beer moucy out there for a fight with any one. Dawson 1s matched with Doc O'Conpell uf Boston, the man whom Towmy Ryan wanted the Omaba ciub to sign for a fight with him. Dawson will win. Fraukie McHugh hit Pete Nolan with a poker in & bar-room brawl down at Cinclo- uati the other unight and then went out through the dariness at & ten seconds clip. That is just what Fraukie wants to do if he ever gets in the ring with George Dixon, bit him with a poier or a hammer, then get up on his toes.
