L GHAL WITH THE i BOXERS Glimmering Goes the Last Hope for Charlie and Jim A BATTLE ROYAL ON THANKSGIVING DAY Death of Longlellow—G: The Geese and Ducks lutios—Continuous I Usunl Weekly Loeal Sport. py Morse Talk— Amateur Ath- ol and the anent the great between Charlie The latest intelligence wind jamming match Mitchell and Jem Corbett is to the effect that this precious pair of worthies have at last agroed to adjust their differences in the historic arena at New Orleaus for the paltry sum of 20,000, They might just as well agree to pull off the affair at Philadelphia, Kokomo, Yip silunti or Kalamazoo. One place is as avail- able as the other, and the advertisement would be just as effective and the agreement Just as binding. The truth of the matter is the great com- monwealth of the United States is surfeited gith tho bruiser, and there is about as much chonce of this alleged international battle being fought under the auspices of any in- corporated club in th as there is that iv will snow in hades on the Fourth of July. the start 1 took no stock in the Mitchell-Corbett fight, as all my readers will bear me out, vut T did say thav in case 1.was mistaken and the big miil did come off, that it could only be in New Orleans or on the turf. It was not long after this declaration, however, until the clergy of the Crescent City mado an onslaught on the cohorts of Fistiana, and tho result was to blob out the last hope of ever again witness- ing anything like either one of the previvus carnivals within the confines of the Pelican state. Consequently 1 fncluded > drlenns inmy list of intordicted ¢ . Now Gov- ernor Foster comes out flatfooted and says that if there is any power on earth that will prevent the Mitchell-Corbett fight from taking place in the metropolis of Louisiana, that it will be invoked and that the parties who are now presuming to negotiate for the same might as well desist first us last From fon the States says edito- Nineteen-twentieths of the brutes ake big money by prize fighting. and whom the country d ray itsell by lifting into national notoriety, indeed, in, after a fashion, apotheosizing, are personal cowards : men utterly destituto of that noble and gen- orous spirit which fires the heart of a truly brave mwan, who is ever ready to stauke his life in de ‘ense of his honor orof the wronged. Nor 1s this to oo said only of modern prize fighters. 1t15 stated by ‘all the historians that the prize fighters who took part in the Greeinn and Roman games were notoriously unfit for soldiers. being generally devoid of the courage to encounter the dan of the battlefield. And yot, it is the proud distin, tion of New Orleans that, of lute years, hus become the a wherein these cr tures meer to engage in their brutal conte Wo trust, however, the last of these de- praved und disgusting exhibitions been witnessed h ‘The legislature of Louisi- guinst drleans call themselves, cannot under the pretense that they ave giving glove contests; and, in t \time, no od citizen of Orleans should give his ountenance to exhioitions of this sort that may take place in a New Orleans arena.’’ While the above goes to show how the great “moral engines” of New Orleans stand on the question, thes attitude of the States is quite funny. ‘T well remember the night of the Sullivan-Corbett fight, and how 1 met at the ring side the whole stuff of the Statos from the proprictor and edit 10 the counting-r y—in fact, ev . with the shop, but an who remained at the offico for the purpose of ictting out the very full und very complete cxtra midnight edition, which they had on the strcets in less than ten winutes after the Big Lellow hit the sands for the last time. For one, and the aroa whole lot of good people in New Or- leans who vill endorse what I say, I think the Olympic club has done inealeusably more good for New Orleans than a uumber of other institutions which the States has so capably chanipioned in the past, and whose memory it still rever Isee that the Metropole club of Provi- dence is cudeavoring to match Billy Smith and Tommy Ryan, and novwithstunding there is little more than cigavette monoy in iho purse, it looks as if it might ve o go.

Boston Billy, however, found himself in o position o few days ago where ho had to fight, notwithstanding che fact that there n't even o beer insight. He and Dick O'Brien, the Boston welter, with whom Ryan was as good us matched whiio in this city i yoar ago, moton Washington siroot and bogun discussing thelr chances of facing cach other in the ring. What grew out of this discussion is best told in the following clipping from a New York paper which a friend cnclosed in o letter to me: *‘As usual, Smath blustered and used profa language and applicd somo indecont epi- thets to O'Brien and aroused the latter's ire, O'Brien then started 1 to chastise Smith and rding o eyo witnesses, succeoded admiravly, He punched the “Mysterious” one to a standstill, closing one eye, *and soverely out- ting Sinith's mouth. The latter then, so it is asserted, bit O'Brien “on the neck.

The one thing which bas mado the little city of Fullerton known abroad is the fact that it Is the home of the champion trotting norse sires, Woodline (2:19), by:Nutwood, and Shadeland Onward (2:181), by Onward. Thieso two great norses haye becone known horse racing is ad- cause of their rem ple ability to brodauce earlyand extreme speed. Weodline is now bat 5 years old and is the champion sive of that age.

Death of Long ellow. Longfcllow, the most celebrated American race horse of his day and a famons sire of thoroughbred stock, died last Sunday nigat ofl old age and colic at F. B. Harper's Nan- tura stock farm, Midway, Ky. The horse for years occupied a leading place ou the list of winning s and up to within the last few seasons clung on well Lp among the sires nners, notwithstanding the vast in- n the breeding interest the great volume of importations of the best blood in Great Britain and France.

A Battle Roya) Thunksgiving Day. Anu now for Thanksgiving day football. ‘What a grand rush there will beall along the line, and whava royal battle is in store for local lovers of the gridiron fleld. The championship tussel between- the teams of the rival universities of Nebraska and Iowa at Young Men's Uhristian association park this city, will be o setto far your whiskers. Much speculation is already rife as to the outcome. Many lean toward the boys from over the river, but the home team will have o lack of patrous, They are showing up unexpectedly strong in preliminary games, and will give us all a run for ourmoney.

The game ou the last day of this wonth, however, between the well drilled teams of the university of this state und Nebraska will bes a fight royal.

He has a fine reputation for u minor loague, anu ovght to be successful in the big league,” Munager Gus H. Schmelz has felt called upon to dig out theoid ink bottle and reply to some of his caustic erivics who see in the new Seuators matorial fit to shine in & team in the Bald Knob league, He says: “Of the new men signed Bagan is a pitcher hail- ing from Media, Pa. M v was the lead- ing pitcher in the New Ingland leazue the past season. Cartwright, who played first for Momphis last season, has no equil among leagzue first basemen as a runner, no suverior as a fielder and few poers as a hitter. Campau and Ward are hitters, base runncrs, hustiers and winners. Dugdale bas always been a tirsy class backstop and thrower, and under the new pitching rules developed into one of the t hitters in the Southern loague last se. Big Bill Hassamer can pla nywhere and, when he behaves him- self, is as good as they make them. Me- Mahon played short for Birmingham last season and is a fielding wonder. The season will be started with probably twenty new men under contract, and in the ng the material will be thorougnly tried out and the best retained.” Moro young players were signed by the league's base bali magnates for the past season than in any other year in the history of cither tho league or the association. This was bocause many of the veteran players be- came too aged foractive service. A smgular thing, however, is the fact that fow good pitchers were developed, Not that the young bloods didn't have chance, as they did, for under the new pitching rules many of theola relinble twirlers were given their death warrants, bur because of these same pitching rules, which made 1t extremely dificult work for a man to pitch good ball. Of the pitchers developed New York securod agood man in German. Menafee of the Lowsvilles must also be regarded as a find. He gives great promise. Comiskey got a good man iu the ungainly Parrott. Kor be- hind the bat the Pittsburgs got Sugden. He is as good as Mack, O'Connor. Clements or any other catcher. e Baltimores got a zood man in Clark, but the best young blood infielder is Reitz, the second baseman of the Baluimores, Reitz’s work was swonderful. Chicago got u zood inflelder in Cump. He promises to make a great third baseman. Peitz of the Browns met with great success shortstop. Peitz, how- with more glory in his great backstopping IFrank of the St. Louis club is a ood man, while Stafford of the Giants also acquitted himself very cred- itably. Cooley of the Browns is also one of the stars developed. Harry Wright secured agood man Zor the Phillies in Turner, the hard-hitting outflelder. Then there are Motz, the first baseman, and McCarthy, the rightfielder of the Cincinnatis. And the Brooklyns got La Chance, who is reserved for next year. On the Lako and in tho Fleld. Colonel J. J.

Beventy-five birds is not an exaggerated bag for a single good shot in a day. Fred Montmorency of the B. & M. head- (quarters bagged twenty-three quail one day recently just beyond the suburbs of the city. ¥red always geis them when he goes after them, and no mistake.

William Price of Council Bluffs came in a day or two since with thirteen dozen quail, which he killed about eight miles south of the Bluffs, in the Palmer settlement. He asserts vhat he can jump twenty-five dis- tinct covies in & day and that the shooting is fine, as the young birds are prone to take to the grass, whers it is no trick to gev your birds one by one. Dr. Galbraith and Heory Homan of this city, and Dr. Richardson of Clarkes and Joe Brindle of West Virginia, put in & day last week with quall out on Prairie creck. Dr. Galbraith bagged 806, Richardson 81, Brindle 20, while Homar, who was in the most demnivion tough luck, succeoded in slaugh- tering one pearly little meadow lark, by the aid of a dead rest over a barb wire fence. All talk about the Omaha ciub being dis- satisfied with their aunual clnb hunt is mistake. Four-fifths of the members a heartily in touch with this fall's competi- tion, and since the late hunt the organization bas had several applications for member- ship on this account alone.
