THE WINTERY FIELD OF SPORT Bportsmen to Meet Wednesday Evening to Dieouss a New Game Law, WHISPERINGS OF THE WHIRLING WHEEL Lingering Geeso on the Platte—At the Trap and I the Field—Palaver with the Ball Players and the Usual- Sporting Roundup. OMAHA, Dec. 12.—To the Sporting Edftor The Bee: I know you are a devotee of gun and dog, and ask, if consistent, that you give this space. Much has been talked and many laws made, but little has been done towards prac- tical game protection in this section of the world. Small game of all Kinds, which a few years ago was very plentiful, is fast being thinned out, and the prospect is that In a very short time western sportsmen will have! to content themselves with a very moderate bag. I know I run counter to a good deal of written opinion when I state my bellef that to about 99 per cent of our sportsmen the antlcipation and realization of a good bag is the dominant pleasure of thelr outing, but I get the bellet from a very varled acquaintance, However, I belleve that fully the same per cent of our shooters would be glad to see some declded steps taken to protect our game. I think laws can be framed that wifl do this, and will have the good will and support of the entire community, and their enforcement be, therefore, a comparatively easy matter, In the states where I am acquainted with the situation game laws are practically dis- regarded; there are occasional complaints made and rarer convictions, and these com- plaints are oftener the result of some per- #onal malico or local prejudice rather than the proper enforcement of a popular law. From what I read and hear this s the situation throughout the western states today. All kinds of laws have been placed on the statute books, but the game still Brows arcer, and it seems to me to be a case of kill or cure, and demands heroic I advocate the following laws for Ne- braski A close season and animals from uary until the ber following, and including Prohibition of killing of Insectivorous birds at all times. Prohibition of sale, handling or having in possession during the close season, except for a reas- Onable number of days after end of open #eason to allow for disposal of game legally killed. Prohibition of trapping, netting and all other unsportsmanlike methods of se- curing game. The collection of license fee from residents of any states which have now or may hereafter pass laws taxing or other- wise placing at a disadvantage citizens of melghboring states. ‘The appointment of salaried e warden with power to appoint deputies. Wardens to be subject to sum- amary removal on fair showing of inefficiency. Proper penalties for all infractions. These are my ideas or some of them on the question, and I bave reasons for each and on all the 24 14th day game birds day of Jan- of Septem- those days. song and state assoclation with a view state laws, of uniform Let's have your views.

My ideas have already been elaborated upon in these columns, and while they do not thoroughly ‘‘compat” with yours, that cul$ little figure, as we are both evidently work- ing with the same object in view, and it is to be hoped that there is some wisdom in both. However, there has been a quantum sufficit of ‘discussion on the subject. It is now time to act. If we desire to accomplish anything, we must be up and at it. I have conferred with a considerable number of prominent sportsmen, and they have in- structed me to call a meeting of all those intgrested in the subject at Frank Parme- leo’s gun stoce, 1316 Farnam street, for next Wednesday evening, December 19. All le- gitimate sportsmer throughout the city, county and state are ccrdially invited to be present. Forest, Fleld ana Stream. The team shoot on Wednesday last between Frank Parmelee and Fred Montmorency on one side and G. W. Loomls and J. C. Read on the other, resulted in an easy victory for Parmelee and Montmorency, the score being 83 to 70, J, C, Morrison and H. B. Kennedy have been out on the Platte for the past several days making it warm for the Canadas. They were under the guidance of Sam Richmond, one of the most successful goose hunters in the west, which is guaranty enough that Messrs. Morrison and Kennedy did not get left, E. 8. Dundy, jr., the sporting editor and Willie Coke, the handsomest man in America, were guests of Charlie Hoyt and Sam Rich- mond at Clarks a few days ago. They didn't do a thing to the geese—only killed twenty- eight, all big Canadas but three, and these were Hutchins. WIll relate the incidents of the trip later. A delegation of Omaha trap shots will take in the Norfolk shoot December 27 and 28, 8. A. Barron and Will Townsend of the Cross Gun company were down at McPaul last Monday, and over Barron's pointer, Nellie, and Billy's champion Gordon, *“Old Ca grassed thirty-six quail. They will r@peat the trip tomorrow. During the past month several flocks of wild turkeys have been seen in different localities in the Waubuncey valley. One bunch was seen last Sunday with twenty- three birds in it, and another Monday with nine, Dr. Summers, jr., has recelved his im- ported English pointer from the tralner's hands, and he is pronounced first class. Dr. Carver, “the evil spirit of the plains, and Charlie Grimm, the granger wing shot from Clear Lake, Ia., shot two 100-live bird matches at Chicago last Wednesday and Thursday for $400 a side. The granger won Wednesday by a score of 96 to 93, and the doctor won Thursday 86 to 83. Dr. Carver shot his favorite Cashemore ejector gun. Grimm shot his L. C. Smith ejcctor, The loads used by the shooters were: Carver—Twelve guage three-inch trap shells, U. M. C. make, four drachms Schultze powder, one and one-quarter ounce Nos. 6 and 7 Tatham's shot, Grimm—Twelve guage two and three- quarter inch smokeless shells, U. M.

They had considerable sport with the grouse, however. PAXTON, Neb., Dec. 13.—To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: 1 sce by last Sunday's Bee that our mutual friend, J. C. Read, has painted himself up in iridescent shape. He is after big game and, I think, will have no trouble in finding it. I know plumbers have lots of nerve, but didn’t think they had a load like Mr. Reed has on board. In the first place he wants to shoot any resident of Nebraska, and wants to shoot them on lowa soll. Secondly, he wants Colonel Parmelee to manage the affair and American assoclation rules to govern. Now, I am not anxious to shoot, but will accommo- date Mr. Reed if he allows a challenge party his rights. I reside forty-five miles north of Paxton, but it Mr. Reed will bring the colonel, traps and other outfit to Paxton, I will shoot him his little match. The only concession 1 ask is that I be allowed to shoot my ten-guage gun, and I promise the gentleman that when he gets back to Omaha he will realize he has been at a shooting match, All he has to do is to notify me through The Bee and I will cover his money, and shoot him on two days' notice. Don't need any time for practice. JOHN HARDIN. What the Omaha Kennel Club is Doing. To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: In Sunday's Bee Richard Francis has a very creditable article on “The Cocker Spaniel in Omaha,” The author of the article de- serves credit for the apparent effort he has made to “round up” the Omaha cockers. It some fancier of each of the other breeds would do likewise some Interesting chapters might be written on the Omaha ‘“fancy,” and thus stimulate action that would result in some good, possibly an Omaha bench show. Who knows! In the course of this article R, F. says, “But I am wandering.” This reminds me of a song we sang when a boy—"'Oh, how I love to roam abroad, and waa-a-a-a-nder.” And some of the errors in dates which follow ‘n the article seem to indicate a condition r/ progressive wander- ing, Without apy iitention of criticism, let us set history aright by correcting a few dates. The Omaha show was held in October 1892, mot in 1893. Don Chamber- lin's importation occurred in September, 1892, and he does not claim credit of first importer. This gives the honor to Maher's Matron of 1890. McTague's Cherry was imported also in 1892, not 1893, Instead of Cherry Bird it was Cherry Ripe that was shown al the 1892 Omaha show, she winning first in her cicss, She was purchased by Don Cham- berhi during the show, and shortly after sold to the Chestnut Hill kennels at Phila- delphia, Atter wandering through an avalanche of lavish praise upon the cocker Sir R. F. pulls himself together and hits the Omaha Kennel club a whack under the belt, and says: “I must say I am at & loss to know what the Omaha Kennel club is doing. Times are hard, W& know, but don’'t seem to bother the eastern people. Kennel clubs are growing like mushrooms everywhere. When Des Moines, Rockford, Ill., and many other small towns can give sl it seems to me Omaha ought to ‘be in it'" It may be pertinent to ask why one so much interested in the “fancy” as R. F. pretends to be should be at a loss to know what the kennel club is doiug. The kennel club was organized for the pur- pose of promoting the interests of breeders and owners of thoroughbred dogs, and all fanciers of Omaha (certainly the breeders who really desire an annual beuch show, ought to take enough interest ia the club to become members and give it their hearty support, both financially and by personal attendance and work. If such interest were ken in the matter no one would be at a loss to know what the kennel club Is doing." 1t requires two important elements to even @ mushroom show in Omaba: viz, nd money. We ought o be able Lo enough real live fanclers in Omaha to fur- uish the first element, and it can’t be that the “eastern people” have ull the money. The writer believes there ls moncy enough in Omaha to back up a good show, to be given next March, following the Chicago show; but the kennel club needs a few more men to get out and rustle and raise ihe stuff for backTog, say $600. What can give men find be done about it, R. F.? If you can not furnish the money, perhaps you ‘can some of the first element. THOROUGHBRED. Ashland Survives the Shock. ASHLAND, Neb,, Dec. 9.—To the Sport- ing Editor of The Bee: The death blow that foot ball in Ashland was thought to have received in the Injuries of Elmer Hays and Frank Enlow, the two halfbacks in the Ashland-Beatrice game, was not a death blow at all. The men have recovered and the game will live, There s but little doubt that the foot ball season of 1895 will find gay and festive little Ashland with one of the sturdiest little high school teams that ever fell on the pig skin. The prospect for a strong team s most flattering, although Brush, Hays, Whistler and Young of the far-famed team of 1893 will take their de- parture from the high school gridiron with the close of this school year, but with the large number of aspirants for their cast-off bruises, there is no fear whatever that Ashland has reached the zenith in foot ball glory, but will put forth every effort to place one more star on her diadem of vic- tories. The Battls of the Papes. The Omaha Whist club’s tournament, while a few teams have games yet to play, is virtually over, inasmuch as the honors at stake have already been won by Messrs.

The fourth annusk banquet of the Tourist Wheelmen was, as usual with any entertain- ment given by the elub, a success. The at- wBeanesaban. EoSafosancacasan |tendance was not large, the party consisting of twenty-five of the club members, about all that are left of the once most popular club, but these few were all wheelmen and enjoyed themselves as wheelmen can. The club at- tended the evening performance of “In Old Kentucky' and then repaired to the Board of Trade cafe, where & splendid club supper was served. The affair was managed this year by Captain E. P. Walker and Secretary F. A Heninger, & very eficlent committee., Henry E. Ducker, 80 well known to the “old-timers,” will have charge of the new Boston track, a track which will cost several d dollirs to complete and when finished second to mene in the world. Mr, Ducker Is the originator of the famous Spring- fleld weets and was considercd years ago tue best posted and most enthusiastic of wheel- men, The Referee s authority for the follow- ing: “There are indications that fooner or later the League of American Wheelmen will have to recognize profassionalism. The time to do it and prevent the birth of a rival racing organization {s at the next meet- ing of the assembly.” It does look that way to a casual observer, and it is too bad! The league has fostered amateur racing, and has really paid more attention to racing and race events than to the building up of road- ways and other minor affairs, which are sup- posed to be a portion of ihe league's work, and now the foster child has grown so large and unruly that the parents can't handle it. The main question that assails the ear of the league official on every hand when he does a little recruiting, is: “What benefit do I get for becoming a member of the League of American Wheelmen?” For answer, the official can point with pride to the miles upon miles of unfinished roadways, hundreds of cases of road hogism unpunished, and the gay cavalcade of class B racing men, He knows that there are a few racing men who come out openly and above board and ride for the good, cold ducats, These cannot join the League of American Wheelmen. ~He knows that there are hundreds of racing men making their living out of bicycle racing who can, under the broad wings of class B, receive the protection of the League of American Wheelmen, They are in truth professional only under cover. To the casual observer there is no difference. Either banish class B or iet down the bars and admit the ‘professionals,’ or make racing a side issue and devote the energy to the mass of cyclists who want good roads, an end of hogism and a protective body that benefits the wheelmen at large. The club season of 1894 has drawn to a close as far as the Tourist Wheelmen are concerned, and it may be interesting to the Tourlsts and thelr friends to review the past season and compare it with the previous years of the club’s existence. Captain Walker has proved himself to be an eflicient and concientiously hard working officer, and his_club mates appreciate his services. He deplores the fact that the club members have not ridden as they should, and yet feels elated that his club mileage {5 equal to if not far in excess of that recorded by clubs in the city and vicinity. Out of fifty club tours called during the season, six only were abandoned on account of bad weather and roads. The club has visited, upon these tours, the following towns, in some instances more than once during the season: Glen- wood, Ariington, La Platte, Silver OCity, Papillion, Missouri Valley, Fort Calho Irvington, Courtland Beach, Lake Mana Crescent City, Sarpy Miils, Bennington, Blair, Bellevué, Plattsmouth, Millard, Logan, Tekamah, Fremont, Elk City and North Bend, The club held its fourth annual century this_season, and while the attendanca was small in comparizon with former occasions, the run was successful. In the contest for the mileage prizes, Captain Walker scored the most miles; H. K. Smith, second; Alex Melton, third, and Louis Flescher, fourth. Forty-one others are credited with miles rid- den, but not in & sufficient amount to war- rant publication. The following table gives a record of the winners of mileage prizes for the past four seasons, with number of miles ridden at close of season: 1891—H. K. Smith, 637 miles, gold medal; R. L. Young, 462 miles, gold League of American Wheelmen pin. 1892—E. L. Potter, 1,319 miles, gold medal; Louls Flescher, 1,061 miles, gold medal; H. K.
