To attempt another season with this load to carry like the supremest Kind of diocy, and the quicker the balance of the organizaiion put their heads together and form a circnit that can present at least a likelihood of success the better it will be for them. It will foolhardy to begin with these two cities in the circuit, and if there is any business perspicuity in the organization they will nip the little scheme in the bud before it has opportunity to swell In their cagerness to further the ends of malice and revenge by ousting Dave I Rowe from the helm of the association, the enstern contlr , backed up by one of th western citle nly lost sight of the wel- fare of the who nizalon, but completely fgnored their own interests. This they now see and are as cager to right the fault as they to commit it, and it is quite probable ere the lapse of another fortnizht that this will all be satisfactorily adjuste 1t must not be inferred from the ab. Omaha is the instizgator of the present tlon, for it comes from another source en- tirely, which It is not necessary to namc Omaha, of course, s as much, If not mor terested as any city in the circuit, be depended on to lend any and every ald that will possibly tend to enhance the wel- fare of the wholo association. Without the Gate City the structure would fall to pieces before a ball is pitched. It forms the bulwa of the whole affalr. The organization w conceived here, and by wise and industrious work made a possibility, and she does not intend now at this stage of the game to be shoved to the rezr and allow such a con- tingency as that in Quiney and Jacksonville to reap the benefits of lier energy and enter- prise. A vast deal of correspondence has been exchanged within the past week and it is very likely that the wise heads of the institution will gather together, cither here or at Des Mojnes, within the next ten da and effect a Western assoclation worthy the name, This -can be done by complote re- orginization, so far as the circuit is con- cerned, the election of officers to be a secondary consideration. With, Omaha, Lincoln, Sioux City and St. Joe in the west and Des Moines, Peoria, Rock Island and Rockford in the ‘east a Solid paying circuit would be established and a scason of great ball eventuate. Jacksonville and Quincy ghould be dropped without consideration or ceremony. the clves the now now they a That the fation two as season Manager MeVittie continues to tickle him- selt over the signing of Pitcher Carrish of last season's Jacksonvilles, He stood second on the list of winning pitchers in the associa tlon last year and enjoys the reputation of having won the only game from Omaha on the Omaha grounds that Jacksonville tpok during the entire season. Carrish is a big, strapping young fellow, with all the curye and_great” speed. He is an upright, con- scientious player, nervy and intelligent, and pitches to win, always. With Donnelly and another good man Omaha will be tolerably well off for pitching material, Harry Gatewood, martuger of the St. Joe's. has been In the city all week on the hustle for players. Last Wednesday he George Mc with Omaha last year; Har Howe of St, Joe, and Arthur Creighton, the promising local amateur. The latter will make a valuable man without a doubt. He is speedy on his feet, bats well and is sober and hard working. e will alternate behind the bat and in the field.

Captain Joe Walsh is rapldly on the mend and by the 1st of March he expeets to be in condition to begin active practice. He has ordered all the men signed to report here on or before the first day of April and will put them to work limbering up in field practice tmmediately. Joe will split the men up into two teams and give them practice by en- gaging In actual games. He is a firm be llever in this sort of schooling and will ke the boys busy until the umpire doffs his cap and cries “play bail," Jack Haskell has the managerial bee In his bonnet, He s negotiating for one of the clubs In the new Two-Eyed league, and if suc cessful, of course, will have the pennant winners. The Western league would like to have Jack on its umpire staff, but he pre- fers the management of a team If he can secure it on satisfactory terms. Pop Smith, Indlans in ol Omaha Toronto, who played with the 1836, has signed with Hugh Nicol Is over In St. Louis drumming up recruits for his Rockford aggregation. There seems to be a scramble all along the line for pitchers. So far Omaha has trapped two, Donnelly and Carrish, and ex- pects to close with another good man this week, a Peorla has thus far signed Sam Laroque, | Dan Boland, Charles Farrell, Jim McCor- mick and Billy McGrevey. Manager Watking 1s getting a great team for the Hoosiers. He has corraled that heavy bitting Findlay catcher, Woods, and will give Hurvey Pastorious another chance, Bddle Silch, who was known as “DBaldy" Bllch when Le was with Dave Rowe's Denver team in 1889, died at St. Louls one day last week. Joe Gunson will do the major part of Buf- falo's backstoppiug this year. Peorla is after EQ Dugdale to manage and eaptain her team.

No less than 106 horses with records of 2:30 or better have died since January 1 of last year. The extreme speed list has been the greatest sufferer, for the four with records below 2:10 that have died were all compara- tively young and three of them were among the most prominent campaigners of the past season, Pamlico, 2:10, and the pacers, Hal Braden, 2:07%; Ontonian, and Craw- ford, 2:07%, were a quartet of great ones, possessed of rare qualities as well as speed, and their taking off was a great loss to the turf. Pamlico and Crawford died in the midst of the campalgn, and IHal Braden just at its close. Ontonian would probably have been campaigned the coming year and it is| safe to say that three of the numbe t least would have taken much lower record in time. One brilliant prospect that was nipped in the bud was Cartridge, 2:14 the Michi gan horse that broke an ankle in a runaway accident early in the spring and bad to be destroyed. Cartridge had shown speed that made his owners believe that he would step | some distance into the 2:10 list. The old-time campaigners were brought to | mind and many a brilliant race of the past recalled when from wmonth to month the | news was chronicled of the death of one that had been famous down the grand circuit in the past years. Mattie Hunter, 2:12 the rakish chestnut pacer, was one of the “big four,” and with John Splan in the sulky made many a killing, Lucille Golddust 2:16%, a great winner one season; old Charley Hogan, 18%, owned by Charl Schwartz of Chicago, and driven by Budd Doble; Piedmont, 2:17%, that was good in hi; class the year that Orrin Hickok brought him east; and old Jay uld, 2:21%, the one time king of trotting stallions, sold for a mere pittance in his old age. These and others of nearly equal fame have passed to the paddocks that are ever green and where the haruess and whip are unknown. The following list includes the names and rec- ords of 108 trotters and pacers with records ranging from 2:07% to 2:30 that have died this year: Pamlico, 2:10; Cartridge, 2:14 Chris Smith, 2:143;; Jessie McCorkle, 2:15; Jed Davis, 2:10; King Darlington, 2:16; Prince Wood, 2:16; Lucille Golddust, 2:16%;; Katie Rarl, 2:164%; Moloch, 2:17; Piedmont, South Jersey Patchen, Jr, 2:17% Wilkes, 2:18%; Charl Hogan, 2:18%: Dolly Q, 2:19; Blanca, 2:193; Glassware Girl, 2:19%; Ross 8, 2:19%; Sllver Ore, 2:19%; Gift O'Neer, 2:20; Alta Mae, 2:28%; Althi 2 jelle Ogle, 2:21%: Rolle Berwick Boy, 2 14: Black P Blue Blood, 2:22%; Chauce It, kee, Chestnut Do Clavice, 2:20'4; Clara Morris, 2:20%; Golden Bell, 2:20%; Cora $:26; Corner Bell 2:23; Cre’ h\on}‘l. !‘1" %('\Cluu:, :2815; Dan_ Ailer, 2:281; Delia Bhipp, 2:21; Farl Belmont, 2:2014; Eva M, 2:20%; Fanny Mack, 2:20%; Factory Girl, 2:20%; Frauk 8, 2:23%; Gil- wmore, 2:21%: Governor Hill, B:26%1 Grace Walker, 2:28%; Harmoun, 2:26%; Harry F 2:25; Uilberry, 2:27% ; Hippona, 2:21% ; Hood.

In a recent letter to a correspondent here he | declared: “I do not object to intercollegiate foot ball for the ensulng season If the -rules are modified in such a way as to reduce to a minimum the dangers which are now in- curred by those taking part in the game My personal observation, however, has been that the principal injuries sustained in foot ball games under the present rules are in consequence of the lack of conformity to the rules, For instance: In the Michigan-Kansas game at Kansas City, November 10, 1894, Mr. C. W. Armour of 'the Kansas team was jumped upon with both feet by one of the Michigan team after he had passed the line and made his touch-down. There was no ex- cuse for such brutality, which was not in ac- cordance with the rules of the game, but in dircet violation of those rules. The umpire of that game should have disqualified the Michigan man for his brutal conduct and compelled him to leave the game. But this was not done. The same action should have been taken in the case of Captain Hinkey of the Yale team when he jumped upon Wrightington. While the present rules un- doubtedly need some modification, in my cpinion a strict enforcement of these rules in the interest of fair play by the referee and umplre would do away with nine-tenths of the casualtics of the game."

As a sort of preparatory practice to his coming match with George Nicolal of Sutton, J. C. Read shot against Frank Parmelee, G. W. Loomis, Fred Mont- morcncy and M. O.

It not known who will constitute the prohibition team, but Omaha will send forward Champion melee, J. W. Loomls, J. C. Read and either Fred Montmorency or M. C. Peters Live crow shoots are much in vogue in the east. These birds could bo trapped in this vicinity by the thousands, but whether the sportsmen would favor their slaughter or not is a question. It looks very much as if the shooting in- terests of Omaha will be extensively revived this season. Frank Parmelee fs evincing commendable enterprise in this dircction, and it he takes hold of it as he should the haleyon days of 1887-8 may be expected to return. Parties having live pigeons to dis- of would do well to put themselves in mmunication with the great trap shot. M. K. Barnum writing to Sports Afield from North Platte has this to say anent the scarcity of game during the past season: here has been a marked scarclty of game of all kinds throughout Nebraska during the past season, which seems to have been caused primarily by the extremely dry year and the equent scarcity of grain and other feed o prospects for plenty of quails never better than last spring, but the shooting has shown very few bags that were ven fairly good. Where three guns bagged from forty to seventy birds in 1893, the same parties, better equipped, could bag but from cighteen to twenty-five birds a day in 'f Prairie chickens were a short erop from nesting time, when very few e hatched because of the extremely dry spring. A few marshy or springy valleys had an abundance of young birds, and. these exceptions to the gencral scarcity -tend to prove the theory that the drought prevented the eggs from hatching in otber: localities. Ducks were scarce both In the spring and fall, which also may be attributed to the fact ' that the sloughs, which usually have afforded them geod feeding grounds, were nearly all as dry as a door-yard, Geese have been fairly abundant for a few days at a time, but would not remain, as there was very lttle feed to be had, except where irrigating ditehes enabled farmers (o raise good crops of eorn; and such tracts are rather limited hereabouts yet. The fact that:the dry season has aroused every one to the.necessity for irrigation (to fall such an extent, indeed, that nearly 200 miles | of ditches are either finished or under pro- cess of conatruction in the vicinity of North Platte) leads us to hope that within two or three years, at most, it will be unsurpa as a resort Tor all kinds of small game. The increase in acreage of cultivated fields will afford more sheltor for quall and prairie chickens and more fsed for them, as well as for ducks and geese. Such has been proved to be the effect of cultivated fields in this vicinity before, and we confidently look for increased benefits in proportion to the growth of farmed lands, . On account of the scarclty of came, most sportsmen have done very little hunting and very few of them have killed more than one-third or & quarter as much game as last year. ‘This fact may leave a good supply of breeders for next season, and we all hope for “a good time coming.’ The one thing that is lacking among our sportsmen is a more lively interest in game protection and particularly a more rigid ob servance of the close seasun, but loca guu- on the | ditions are very unfavorable to attaining to | anything definite, as he had not as yet com- | | | | cules, for $100 a side, loser to pay for th: this end. birds, A small party of North Platte sportsmen had a fine hunt for antelope up in Wyoming during the latter part of October.
