CHAT WITH THE BOXERS | Touching Upon Moore's Defeat and Creedon’s | Ohances with Fitzsimmons, WHISPERINGS FROM THE WHIRLING WHEEL With Tralner and Trotter-Tho in Frisco- Din I Dust and Regular Weekly Compendinm of Local Sports the Sport. Tnasmuch as I réferced the last contest be tween Dan Creedon and Dick Moore, which took place in the Twin City club rooms at Minneapolis a week ago Friday night, I sup- pose at least a brief review ot the battle will be looked for here. A nutshell will hold the digest. Moore was outclassed, not in size or welght, but In strength, speed and endurance. This was manifest In the very outset, and the only wonder was that he lasted as long as he did, It was a diaphoretic affair from the sound of the gong until the fatal ten had been counted off—a regular hurricane, The men went right at each other on the jump, and such an avalanche of smashes 1s om seen, even within the magle circle. For the first three rounds Dick appeared good and strong and in the exchange of fistic compliments he had al- most an even break. Indeed, in the third he had a trifle the best of it; that is, he landed the oftenest. But the best of it in Dick’s cut but an insignificant figure, He had but a short time for self- glorification. The brawny Australian knew his game. In the fourth the St. Paul boy began to weaken perceptibly, and he kept going from this on out. But few men could have withstood that awful storm of swings and upper cuts balf as long as he did. Cree- don's short arm work was a revelation, even to me. He keeps next to his man all the time. There Is no escaping, avoiding or eluding him. He is too quick, too elastic, oo powerful. He was always strong on his legs, while his wind was something re markable. He is without a doubt one of the fighters of the age. With a style pecullarly his own, allve inall the didactics of the ring, powerful as a bullock and as quick as ele tricity, I want to know how you are goin to lick him. Certainly there is no midc weight lying around loose who turn the trick, neither are o half dozen heavyweights have an_odds on chance. Moore took an awful beating without a wince. He is one “of the gamest fighters I ever saw. After being knocked down repeatedly in the cighth round, e camo right back In the ninth as resolute and courageous as in the start. He still hoped that something unforeseen might change the tide of battle in his favor. It was a forlorn hope. A left jolt on the Jaw and a quick, stiff short right in the pan creatic reglon did the business, He went down on his face like an old suit of clothes, made a frantic but futile attempt to rise, then rolled over on his back, dead to the world. be case can there who It was a grave mistake in Moore's ever meeting Creedon again. Good Dame For- tune smiled lavishly upon him when he suc ceeded in getting a draw from him in Bos ton, and he should have been more appre clative of the old lady’s prodigal courtesy. He certainly kno notwithstanding Jimmy Colville made it a dead heat, that he was Just i it, in name, in that first meeting, and that he would have no show of getting home first in a longer journey. That draw meant all Xinds of money for him and his backer had they only taken it at its full worth. Buf they didn’t, and that bit of rare fortune now goes for naught. On his rep as having made a draw with the real king of the middlewecights, Moore And Benton could have toured the country, knocking out dubs and giving exhibition: and thero is no telling how strong they might have quit. Dick, with his manly form and handsome face, might have gone on the stage even, and emulated the great- ness of Corbett and Jackson. Now he mu: commence all over again and I wot you it is a tough hill to climb. Not that he lsn't as good a man as ever, for he is better, Dbetter, than when he was known about thess parts. In fact, I don’t know of a middlc weight, outside of Creedon, but who would have a tremendous job on hand putting him out. Alex Greggains would be simply ple and cake for Dick. Colonel Hopkins is still very sensitive on the subject of Tom Tracey's defeat by Boston's black dwarf, Joe Walcott, and he will give Tom O'Rourke no rest until he gives him another chance. The colonel labors under the impression that he got something iike the cross In that fizht. He didn’t want Tracey—who, by the way, Is Creedon’s foster brother—to flght the coon during his absence, but Tom had been over here so long without being able to demon- strate how much he was worth and he urged Hopkins (o let him go. The colonel finally consented, but reluctantly. He had a foreboding of something evil, but he put the affair in the hands of Jim Wright, in whom he had every confidence, and started avest with his Trans-Oceanics. In time the fight went off according to program and Tracey got a most artistic flagellation and Hopkins a lovely thraw-down. Wright allowed vhe O'Rourke “contingent to run in seven ounce gloves on him, when the articles gpecifically called for three-ounce and it was these big mits that whipped the youth- ful Australian, He is not a big gloy fighter. Hopkins didu’t learn this until he got to Minneapolis the other day, when Creedon and Tracey took us to their room and showed us the pillows. Oreedon had copped them after the fight for the colonel's special edification. He was about as tropical ® gentleman us you ever run across. For a time everything In the room took on a splendid cerulean hue and there is no telling what might have happened Tom O'Rourke, Jim Wright and Joe Walcott had they hap- pened to drop In just then. Now the colonel will insist that O'Rourke consents to another fight and he will bet him any Kind of stuff that Tracey does the black in shorter meter than the black done him. And s will I As to Fitzsimmons and Creedon, a good many seem anx'ous to know what I think of them, now that I have seen both men work, yet it Is a difficult thing to analyze their Tospective merits. Judging from Long Bob's actions In the recent attempt made by Hop- kins to match them, however, I am willing to say at the middleweight notch I think Creedon would have an even break: at cateh welghts Pitzsimmons would have away the best of it, That Bob isn't any too well satisfied with his abilities to turn Dan down at 158 pounds is made apparent by his strenuous refusal to meet him at that gauge. No inducement Hopkins could offer would influence him to put his John Hancock to an agreement for such a fight, and In turn the colonel abused him like ‘a pickpocket and there was never a whimper of resentment from Robert. Later, however, Arthur Lum- ley and Fitzsimmons approached Hopkins with a proposition for a fake at Madison Square Garden between the two men, and the colonel—whose word in sporting mat- ters has always been as good as the United States mint—told them both to go straigh to, Fitzsimmons proposed to spar Dan six rounds for an equal division of the gate, no refere no decisfon, but stipulated that in vase Dan “copped a sneak’ and put him out he was to forfelt his share of the gate receipts, Robert agreeing to the samo. Hopkins came near spitting in his face and had Creedon been present at the moeting he would certainly have taken a crack at him then and there. Here is the middleweight champlon of the world offering to split up his reputation with a man he pretends to hold “safe,” for a few paltry dollars, and at the same timo contumaclously refuses to meet him In a fair, square, manly Nght at equal welght, for thousands. Surely the blg inflammatory haired Kangaroo is in the in- ciplent stages of paresis. The wman who fumed and frothed at the mouth because he couldn't get on a fight with Jim Corbett, the master of all pugdom, and the biggest, quickest, cleverest man in the ring today, refuses to meet a mere boy, a head and a half shorter In stature, and walking around fifty pounds lighter in welght. Isn't this sufficient to convince the sporting fraternity of America that there is something radically wrong with this man Fitzsimmons? I think #0. That Lumley and Fitzeimmons, despite the rebuffs they have met with at Creedon and Hopkins' hands, have not despaired even yet of tossing off the New York sports Is made evident by the following letter re- celved at the West hotel, Minneapolis, last Saturday morning by Dan himself NEW YORK, April Dan Creedon, Esq., Twin City Athletic Club, Minneapolis Will' you box Fitzsimmons four or six friendly rounds in this city within the next three weeks for an even split of the gate money? I think there would be big stuff in it for all of us, and no risk run H. L Creedon responded Instanter, b he would meet him to a finish any any place at 1568 pounds for $5,000 a s whatever purse might be offered. LUMLEY. wire, that t for the fight between George Dixon and young Griffo were com- pleted at a meeting of the backers of the two featherweights at Miner's Bowery th ter, New York, one night last week. The conditions which govern the contest are the same as those agreed upon at Chicago some time ago, viz The men to fight at 120 pounds, weigh in at noon on the day of the contest, The battle to be for the feather- welght champlonship of the world and $5,000 a side. One-fifth of this amount has already been deposited, and the balance will be put up two wecks before the day of the contest After some little discussion it was greed that they would meet at Boston on or about June 18 in a limited round contest of something like fifteen rounds. The Griffo party made no objections to the welght question, as Mesgrs. Beohn and Fitzgerald, and Griffo, too, think there will be no trouble in getting to the weight, Dixon will close his theatrical season next week and will immediately go into training for what he cviflently considers a pretty tight proposition. All arrangements The international battle between James J Corbett and Peter Jackson for the heav: weight champlonship of the world is still a great way off, The articles of agreement binding the American and Australlan to meet in the ring at the time named and set- tle the question of superiority will be null and void after May 12, the date of posting the final installment of $20,000 with W. J. Davis, the stakeholder. The reason wh the agreement will cease to be operative after that date s that the principals hav fafled to carfy out certain stipulations con- tained in it. The men will nevertheless fight, and new articles of agreement will be signed in the near future, The battle will in all probability be fought gome time in the fall in the arena of the famous Olympic club of New Orleans, where 0 many champlonships have changed hands That this Is tree is evidenced by the private correspondence between Richard K. Fox, President Charles A. Scholl of the Olympic club and James J. Corbett. The cbject of keéping the correspondence private is ob- vious. Mr. Fox now gives everything fhat has transpired, says the New York Herald. It appears that when the supreme court handed down its decision in favor of the Olympic club last week it did not mean that the case had been effectually disposed of. Six judicial days had to pass before the action of the supreme court became final. The requisite time Jas now passed, and the Olympic club can now go ahead and hold as many glove contests in its arena as it sees fit. President Scholl notified Mr. Corbett, who is now in London, at the piration of the time limit, an offer of ,000 purse to fight Jackson in the Olympic club's arena. Mr. Fox did so and received a reply from Corbett to the effect that it would be impossible for him to accept the Olympic club’s offer at present, as the ar- ticles of agrcement signed by himself and Jackson expressly state that the fight must not take place south of the Mason and Dixon line. Corbett said Jackson's consent would be necessary for the contest to take place in New Orleans, the present articles be de- clared null and void and the stakes with- drawn. The champion further explained that it would be too warm in the south in July for him to fight, and that his theatrical engage- ments on the continent would preclude the possibility of his engaging in a finish fight until October. Corbett also states that he does not draw the color line and that he will, positively, Aght Jackson. “I gave him my word,” continued Corbett, “that I would meet him, and I intend to Keep it. Auy fair place will suit me. I have no objec- tion to fighting in New Orleans and, further- more, I have every confidence in the Olympie club to pull off successfully anything it undertakes." 0x to cable From the indications it wow looks as if the Olympic club intends to get all the big pugilisiic matches, and it will probably be successful, having no rival. In addition to the Corbett-Jackson fight President Scholl is trying to arrange a match between “‘Bob” Fitzsimmons and *Joe” Choynski for a purse of $5,000, but it is doubtful whether “he succeeds. SANDY GRISWOLD. With tho Trainers and Trotters. Fleetwood Driving park, New York City, will have the greatest meefing ever held in America if the arrangements now under way are carried out. It is proposed to give a $£15,000 purse for frec-for-all trotters and no horse will be barred. This will let in the great Directum, Alix, Kremlin, Arion, Fan- tasy, Walter B, Nightingale, Greenlander and all the extremely fast ones. Buffalo’s great free-for-all pacing race for a $5,000 stake Is attracting the attention of all owners of side-wheelers and It is more than probable that the east will be treated to the greatest pacing race ever seen on the turf this season. As matters now stand, Robert J, 2:05%, is the most prominent can- didate for honors in the free-for-all pacing class. The entries for the June meeting at Over- land park, Denver, were most gratifying and represent some very prominent horses from all sections of the west. In the 2:15 class pace I notice that E. D. Gould of Ful- lerton, Neb., names the great 3-year-old filly, Belle Acton, that holds the world's honors as a_ yearling. Citizens of Omaha will re- member that this filly last season, with lit- tle preparation, and the first full mile she lad been asked to go, showed an exhibition mile at the Omaha Driving club's meeting in 2:17%, half in 1:06. She Is fast enough to be a money winner in almost any Kind of company and strong enough to stay her races out. Last season her feet bothered her, but Chandler says she will be all right thig year. Clinton Briggs of Omaha has en- tered the horse Hurly Burly in the 2:17 trot, Betsey Cotton and Dan Velox are in the same class and that signifies that there will be a horse race. Dick Tilden will drive Hurly Burly, and as he drove Dan Velox in his hardest races last season, he knows what he has got to with. Betsey Cotton was always fast and she Is sald to be much better this season than she has ever been before. Dandy Jim a horse that the western boys ran against many times last season and were sorry for it, 18 In this race, too, and if they have been able to get some of the bees out of his head hie will be hard to beat. In the 2:20 pace Bd. Gould has entered Barondale, 2:271;, that took his rec-rd last season at Des Moines, Ia., as a §-year-old, He has to race against such good ones as King Rose, 2:21%, and Aileen, 2.10%. The free-for-all pace is the race that will make history for Nebraska horses if they can win it. In this race is Newsboy, the dun pacer in Clinton Briggs' stable that surprised everybody last season by taking a record of 2:12%, but he will have to pace some to win, for in the same class with him is Flylng Jib, 2:04, W. W. P., the erratic gelding that set everything afire thut he raced on last scason. Online, the Nebraska champion as a 2-year-old, is also in the same race and much is expectsd of him this season. It would hardly be pre- sumed that Chandler weuld start this fellow up for a ha race in his first start, and he may not start at all, as the same farm names Fred K., the consistent little gelding that is now 6 years old and never was outside the money in a race but once in his life Beulah and Yolo Maid are also named for the same race and they are both capable of mak- ing any horse go fast. Charley McDonald names that erratic horse, Dandy O., In the same race. Ed. Gould has got another yearling by Woodline that Is fast enough to attract some attention and reflect credit on her noble sire. The new candidate is named Stella Wood line. I note with pleasure that my predic- tion of last year that Capple Woodline would be the best 2-year-old at the Woodline farm contend THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY!

Pacers are becoming very popular and there Is a continual demand for the faster ones, A cheap grade of trotters or pacers can hardly be given away here. It Is the very best that is wanted. The demand for horses to race Is unprecedented and the prices range high. The sale at Tatter- sall's_last week, when an untried horse sold is a fair_indication of the condi- exist. New Yorkers are critica buy only the best, but when you something that suits them, they will pay the price, Judging from the Fort Wayne Ind., Western-Southern cuit meeting should be one of the great meetings of the season. Up to date this meeting has the largest entry list of any of the members, or for that matter of any meeting yet advertised Two mile races will be features of the castern meetings this year.

Patsy Bolivar Tebeau's crowd again heads the league procession. Jimmy Burns, Omaha's old Highland bard, is playing a great field for Detroit.

There will be three games each with the four castern teams at St. Charlés park, then the Rourke family goes east for a couple of weeks. Down in New Orleans the cranks think there is no pitcher on earth who can hold his own with Jack Fanning, once with the Omahas, The grand stand is to be enlarged and more bleachers put up. The management has Joyfully discovered that thelr accommo- dations are insufficient. Willie Mains, the muskrat trapper of Moose- head lake, has obtained his release from Minneapolis and returned to his native wilds. Both arms and one leg are crystallized. The latest terms to indicate the pitcher and cateher are “‘deceiver” and “retriever.” The fielders should be *‘retrievers’ and the umpire the “‘percefver” to carry out the mat- ter to a proper ending. Quincy has traded Arthur Tenley to De- troit for Jerry Hurley, with his opaque ears. It Is dollars to doughnuts, railroad dough- nuts at that, that Detroit got the best of the snap. Up to date the Minnies under Colonel John Barnes have lost everything but their uniforms. What is the matter there, Crooks, Hengle, McCauley, Duryea, can't you play a little bit? Alex Whitehill, the big pitching phenom of the Sioux Citys, has been released to Omaha for a consideration. Whitehill won a game against the Pittsburgs this spring, letting them down with but four hits. Count De Mouth Campau is not super- stitious, especially if there is anything in it for the count. His New Orleans friends made him a present of an opal scarf-pin la week, and he mourned because the stone wasn't bigger. The Metz Bros. have organized for the season with the following well known players: Graham, catcher; Carmello, pitcher; Kleftner, first; Hayes, ' second; ~Rooney, third; Driscoll, short; C.

That will surely be an exciting struggle at Nonparell park, corner Fifteenth and Vinton streets, this forenoon, when the Sandy Griswolds and the Daisies collide on the dlamond. The Daisies are a strong lot of young players, who have been limbered vp by considerable spring practice, while the Sandy G's have their first game this season yet to play.

Cast your eye at Denver! To use the latest of slang vernacular, “A ‘hotter' cycling town does not exist in the west!" Why? Because the union of the clubs and unattached men has made it so. Chief Consul Ebersole, who has charge of the relay ride through Nebraska, is cor- responding with riders and clubs’ at dif- ferent points along the proposed route of the great ride, relative to assigning the re- lays into the hands of competent, swift road men. The message will be hurried through Nebraska in a manner that will astonish the natives and the public at large. Cap- tain Williamson of the Council Bluffs club has charge of that part of the route lying west of Atlantic, Ia., and will deliver the message to the Omaha riders at the bridge. This relay will be the greatest ride of its kind ever attempted by American bicyclists and if accomplished will be a great feather in the cap of the promoters and plucky boys who participate. The object is to carry a message from Washington, D. C., to Den- ver, Colo., by bicycle relays, in auick- est’ possible time. The message will not halt on its way one single moment, night or day, rain or shine, until safely delivercd at Denver. Local men will carry the mes- sage from the Missourl river to Fremont.

A SWEEPING WITH HOSE. Addition to tions. One of the most notable contury's small inventions s for gleaning purposes. A hose pipe charged with air under fifty pounds pressure to the square inch is turned upon the afticle or room to be, cleaned. It is used in precisely the same way as the water and hos for washing purposes. It is far more effective In its result than brooms, beater or brushes, as It searches out and penetrates every crevice and cleft tn woodwork. This device is at present applied to clean- Ing cars, but so perfect is its work that it is only @ question of time when it will come into use for other purposes. Hotels and large bulldings might be swept out and dusted in an incredibly short space of time. Carefully managed, ihis air pressure would rid the room of every partical of dust, clean furniture, carpets and the heavier articles of bric-a-brac and ornaments, It would do the work of a dozen people, It {5 now In order for some home mission- ary to invent some simple device that will work an air pump and current for house- hold use. Its introduction would revolution- ize housckeeping and solve the heretofore hopeless problem of clean rooms, and will keep furniture covers and carpets.
