16 CHAT WITH THE BOXERS Joo Ohoyneki Cops a Eneak in His High'y Eduoeated Mind, BILLY SMITH FAVORITE AT MINNEAPOLIS Fresh freezes from the Ball Field—A Great Race—1he Dog wnd G Usual Grist of Loc Sports, good grounds hots that J his recent endeavored to Australian, diction ot the to be pretty There seems for the bellel among the seph Bartlett Choynski, In test with Bob Fitzeimmons op a sneak on the length lopping a sneak, In the clegant the short-haired, is to give an opponent louble-cross after having agreed with him to tote fair, and species of dishonesty s looked upon by them with the same contempt that this trick fs. Putting your hand in a man's pocket or working the outsiders is a taudable occupation in comparison However, the only harm that resulted from Joe's alleged dishonorable tactics was that he lost his reputation as a formidable opponent for any man and took a scientific drubbing to boot. A New York friend, was present at the fight, says that the two men had agreed to make it a draw and split the gate, but in the third round, when Fitz simmons was getting rid of a few grand- stand frills, Choynski thought the flood of his affairs had arrived, and he essayed to take it at its tide, lured by the fortune that it was to lead up to. So, gathering all the emphasis of his lithe and muscular anatomy in his good right arm, he laid his duke up against Robert's jaw with a fervency that came within an ace of turning the trick. Fitz went down like a hod of brick, and took the full nine scconds before trying to regain his pins. When he did get up he acted as if he didn’t know whether he had been struck by lighting or the roof had caved in, but when Joe sailed in to adinin- Ister the kibosh, he cunning enough to save himself by clinching. Then that never failing friend of the almost out—the gong—returned the men to their corn ‘The one minute breathing spell all required, and when he again faced Joe the was a steely glitter in his little eyes that boded the Californian anything but a ‘merry time, The result is well known. Bob punched Joseph about the ring as if he was an inflated bag, and when the end of the six rounds came had him where one more tap would have rendered him oblivious of all things worldly, but he was still on his teet, and Bill Daly made it a draw. Wonder if Joe wears his opals still? It may seem queer, in fact somewhat in- credible, to the friends of Tommy Ryan in this city, but the fact remains nevertheless, that up in Minneapolis and St. Paul, they have. made Billy Smith a decided favorite in the little soirce that is to be pulled off in the palatial apartments of the Twin City club on the night of the 26th. When in Minneapolis at the Creedon-Moore contest, the signs were that Tommy would be an odds “on favorite. 1 talked with about all the prominent followers of the game up there, and they were unanimous on the head that barring a fluke or an accident Ryan had the money as good as in his cake. Now ' things are just the reverse, and they will lay you 10 to'0 on the Mysterious gentle- man from Nehant. That is, they say they will, but I think about one 9 would push them to a standstill. The sports of the polar cities are either four-flushing, or have ar- rived pretty generally at the conclusion that 142 pounds is a notch Tommy will find it ex- céedingly hard to get down to and mete out full justice to an adversary of Billy Smith’s calibre. But of all the judges on this score, Ryan, himself, is pre-eminently the best, and his jodgment is good enough for me. It he has agreed to get down to 142 pounds, down he'll get, and when he is there, will make it lively and interesting for the best man in the world. It is an open question Wwith me yet who will win, but If Ryan gets through the first four rounds without an at- tack of vertigo, I would say he should be as good us ready money. Smith is a hard community, and for a time can make a man fight' faster than a horse can trot. Both men are in or near Minneapolis, and in fine health and spirits and training hard. con- who About the special car that T am going to run to the fight. Well, nothing definite can be said just yet awhile, as the strike has made a delay in the preparations that could not be avoided. However, the boycott lifted, the excursion is a sure go, and one of the nicest delegations that ever went out of the city is assured. It will'be a regular Sunday school picnic. The versatility of Champlon Jim Corbett Is something even John L. Sullivan or Charlie Mitchell ought to admire, anyway, at long range. Jim has made money and won re- nown both as a banker and stockbroker. real estate speculator, prize fighter and on the histrionic boards. He s a man. of many talents, and can make more agreements and fail to keep them than any man on the turf today. Still, he does all this in such an astute and gentlemanly way that the people always. cheer and never jeer him. They do not care whether he fights Jackson or not, Just §0 he says he can lick him in a punch. That is plenty for the masses, and if Peter has no_other place to go just now, Jericho wouldn't be a bad destination. But'I meant to expatiate on Jim's talents for getting hold of the Stuft without undue risk or exertion, and didn't intend to mention Jackson's name in this paragraph, for just now, as probable opponents within the magic circle, Jim and Petie are small quantities. But a hard win- ter 1s coming on, and provident, as he always is, the champion is casting his lines about him whereby he may cop out a few thousands without laylng brick or carrying the hod. That lie will do this as the backer and man- ager of Billy Plimmer, the little English bantam champion of the world, no wise man will attempt to gainsay. There is the lad for you, Billy Plimmer. He s the only fighter wno defeated George Dixon thoroughly and undualifiedly, and is the only living little man today whom Dixon is unwilling to take on at even terms. Corbett’s manifesto that he will back Plim mer for any kind of money against any kind of a man in his class shows that the cl plon fs as good a financier as he is a figh There is a fortune in Billy Plimmer, Corbett will endeavor to demonstrate it. and In justice to Joe Choynski, who has been commented on in a previous paragraph, 1 clip the following talk he had with Harry Weldon a day or two since: Joe Choynski, the crack California pugilist, was a caller at the Enquirer office last night. He has not a mark or a scratch to show for his recent fistic engagement with Bob Fitzsimmon the lanky Australian. His fac color s £00d and he is a very different looking man from what he was when he left here to go east for the fight. Joe is here on a visit His afflanced lives in this city and the wed- ding Is to take place some time before the opening of the theatrical season. Choyn- ki does not know anything about his future plans, only that another fight with Fitz- simmons fs among the probabilities, “It would be too much to say that Bob Fitzsim- mow's victory over me was a fluke, but it was the next thing to it,” said Choynski. “ had him whipped, but was too weak to go lon and fnish him. 1 don't know what was the trouble with me. I was entirely too light when I fought him. 1 only welghe 169 pounds that night. I knocked him down in the third round, and had him done right there and then. Then something came over me and’1 was too weak to nold up my hands. At that time 1 had him fnished but for the lice. i *W\What ‘do you wian by the police?” “Why, they ordered us to break away and walk around in that third round when 1 had him all but gone," sald Choynski. “Noife of the papers sald anything about this L4 fpart of \t, but It was true.

I'll remain here until after the Gth of July and then I will go to Chicago to consult with the Par- son. If I can get another match with Fitz I will return and do my training here but so far as fight between Joo and Bob s con don't you belleve it. Of course Joe his little talk, for there are more fought before he Is permanently any excuse Is better than no That sounds all very nic another cerned must make fights to be retired, and excuse at all SANDY GRISWOLD. The Ruce for the Fennant So remarkable is the pennant chase in the Western association that base bail writers all over the country are forced to comment on it. Think of it. Here it is past the Fourth of July, and yesterday there were no less than four clubs, Lincoln, Omaha, St. Joe and Jacksonville, virtually ticd for first place two for sec but one game behind the feaders, while Des Moines was in third place, but four games behind. Such a status in a championship race was never known before in any league, and it will be many, many years before the like is scen again. The foss of a single game will upsct the whole standing, and three victories stralght means a long lead, considering the margin th teams have n working in all summer, Who the final winner will be Is a question difficult to answer, but with her new men at work, and another pitcher secured, Omaha should certainly be there or thereabouts. and Third, management has new men, second and third base ford and Hutchison, both of whom arrived yesterday, and will be secn on the team today. These two men cost the Omaha club Just $376, which, considering everything, is a whole lot of money for this young organiza- tion to pay out at this time of year, and in these kind of times. The cranks should con sider this when administering criticism, and glve the club officers credit for an earnest attempt to give the city the best base ball in the circuit. A new pitcher will be s cured at any cost on the very first oppor- tunity, and when one is secured the Omahas can be expected to take after the rag for keeps.

The game will be called at 3:30 this after- noon. Tom Ramsey, alias Toad, has been given a berth with Jimmy Manning's Cowboys. Pittsburk bleachers aroused the ire of Sen- ator Frank Ward by calling him “Old Razor Back.” Jack Wentz, Outfielder Goodenough and Pitcher Wadsworth are all coveted by Mil- waukee. So far this season Omaha whipped Quincy eight times, while Quincy has licked tho Rourkes but once. Frank Genins scored from first on a single at Milwaukee, and his great sprinting gave Sioux City the winning run. The batting of Pedros and McVey has been tremendous. In the last six_gumes.Peddy has made seventeen hits and McVey fifteen. Billy Moran has the best batting average in the Western association, .350. In the last six games Billy has only made twenty hits. Billy Moran is undoubtedly the finest catcher in the Western association. In fact, Billy is up to the standard of the best in the big league. Manager Rourke is expecting one of the biggest crowds of the season at the Charles Street park this afternoon, and will not be disappointed. In the three games with Quincy the Rourkes made 50 runs, 63 hits and 13 er- rors, while the Yellow Boys made 35 runs, 51 hits and 13 errcrs. Omaha’s new third baseman, Hutchion, is unable to get away from Savannah. They owo him two months' salary, and he is waiting for a settlement. Billy Traffley will have out his stronge:t team this aflernoon, as he is anxious to make an impression on the thousands sure to gather at the Charles street park. Manager C. H. Cushman did resign, but he dido't intend to go. The Milwaukee di- rectors accepted the document, however, and Joe Walsh is now captain and manager.

THE OMAHA DAILY BER: SUNDAY, | the biggeat thing of the kind ever pulled off west of Chicago. Harvey N. McGrew, the old-time sports- man, left yesterday for Salt Lake City and the Wasatch mountains. He will be gone all summer. During the hot days of July and August he will be trout fishing and hunting at his brother-in-law's cabin in the Wasateh mountains, south of Sait Lake City. Harvey promises to write us a letter on mountain sport for our Sunday fssue while he Is gone. Ho takes with him his Lefever shotgun and a 45-bore rifle. He never shot a rifle in his life, and says the first bear he sees he is going to fire at him and run like the devil for the cabin. Twenty years ago, in 1874 McGrew was a foot racer with the Ocel- dental b lub at Falls City, Elmer and Albyn nk both being members of the same club, and Elmer says If a bear gets after McGrew he'll bet $9 Mae will get to the cabin first, for he made a record getting out of a watermelon patch near Brownville twenty years ago that beat 9 4-5 seconds all to pleces.

It Is a fact not generally known that Walter Q. Gresham {s the only person with one exception who ever held three different cabinet positions. April 3, 1883, while sit ting as judge of the United States district court at Evansville, Ind., he received a dis- patch from President Arthur notifying him of his appointment as postmaster gencral to succeed Timothy O. Howe, who had died He accepted the place and served until Sep- tember 24, 1884, when he was appointed secretary of the treasury to succeed Charles J. Folger, deceased, and March 4, 1893, he became secretary of state in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet. His first appointment in Arthur's cabinet precipitated a flerce factional con- test in Indiana politics, the outcome of which was the election of Henjamin Har- rison to the presidency. The other “‘third- timer” as a cabinet official was Timothy Pickering of Massachusetts, who was post- master general under Washington in 1791 and served uncil 1795, when he became sec- retary of war, and subsequently was ap- pointed secretary of state, succeeding Ed- mund Randolph. While secretary of war Mr. Pickering founded the military school at West Point, and during his occupancy of the office the frigates Constitution, United States and Constellation were built. A great many cabinet officers have had a sec term, but Hugh McCullough and Wil liam Windom are the only ones who ever twice fllled the same cabinet place. Mec- Cullough was secretary of the treasury for Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Arthur, while Windom was in the cabinets of Garfield and Harrison at the head of the Treasury department Horatio King, who was postmaster general a few months at the close of the Buchanan administration, is the only survivor of all Buchanan’s cabinet ministers. He resides in Washington, where he has practiced law for many years. James Harlan of lowa is the last of Mr. Lincoln’s cabinet. ~He lives at Mount Pleasant, Ia., and has been a re- tired lawyer and banker there for years. He was twice United States senator, and his daughter is the wife of Robert Lincoln. Of the ex-secretaries of state only Messr Evarts, Bayard and John W. Foster are liv- ing. Mr. Evarts’ home Is in New York City, where he has an extensive law prac- tice. He was attorney general in President Johnson's cabinet, , and_has been United States senator for New York. ~Mr. Bayard, who was Mr. Cleveland's first secretary of state, is now minster’ to England. John W Foster, who suceeeded Mr. Blaine in Har- rison’s cabinet, lives in Washington, though his home properly is in Evansville, Ind. Tt Is a strange fact that although Mr. Foster was at the head of President Harrison's cabinet, yet he was opposed to Harrison's nomination in 1888, and was for Gresham Mr. Foster has been minister to Spain and to Russia and is one of the ablest diplomats in our country. Seven former secretaries of the treasury are living. Hugh McCul- lough, who first entered Mr. Lincoln's cab- inet and in later years was one of Mr. Ar- thur's advisers, lives in Washington. He formerly lived at Fort Wayne, Ind., where his son is a leading banker. George S. Boutwell, who was chosen secretary of the treasury by President Grant in 186y, when the senate refused to confirm the appoint- ment of Alexander T. Stewart of New York, lives at his old home.in Concord, Mass., al- though he has a law office in Boston. ~ He resigned his cabinet position to become United States senator and was succeeded by William A. Richardson, also of Massachu- setts, who Is now a member of the court of claims at Washington. Benjamin H. Bris- tow, who was appointed from Kentucky to succeed Richardson as secretary of the treasury in Grant's cabinet, now lives in New York City, where he has a law office. He was the choice of the “reformers” In the republican party for president in 1876, but failed to get the nomination in the Cincins nati convention. Later he aspired to a place on the supreme bench of the United States, and great was his chagrin when President Hayes appointed Judge Harlan, who had been Bristow's law partner for years. John Sherman_is_in the United States senate, Charles S. Fairchild is a capitalist in New York, and Charles Foster is just emerging from'a financial collapse at his home in Fos- toria, 0. John M.

Endicott lives near Boston, and Redfield Proctor Is one of the United States senators for Vermont, Mr. Lincoln was first appointed secretary of war by President Gar- field, and reappointed by President Arthur. In 1889 President rison appointed him minister to England, where he remained four years. Besides Mr. Harlan of lowa, J. D. Cox, Columbus Delano, Carl Schurz, S. J. Kirkwood, - Henry M. Teller, William A. Vilas and John W. Noble are the only ex- secretaries of the interior. General Cox lives in Cincinnati, where he s a prominent attor- ney, Columbus Delano has a large farm near Mount Vernon, O., where he raises sheep and is one of the largest producers of wool in the country, besides being president of the Na- tional Sheep Husbandry association. —Carl Schurz, who was appointed to office from Missouri, which state he had represented in the United States senate, is now the editor of Harper's Weekly in New York. Samuel J. Kirkwood, who served in the Garfield cabinet, now resides at Iowa City, Ia. He was the war governor of the Hawkeye state, Henry M. Teller, who succeeded Kirkwood, is from Colorado, which state he represents in the United States senate, where his suc cessor, Willam F. Vilas of Wisconsin, also continues in public life. John W.
