THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY. FEBRI'ARY 15 1903, SHOOTERS I¥ HICR FETTLE Moeting of State avd Oity Teams is Oa Y of Their Jo; ANCIENT RIVALS AT THE TRAPS CLASH Contests for Sapremacy that Been Golng On for Years and te Still Unfinlshed Are Given New Life, Have General’ Jay ‘has existed among devotees and admirers of the trap-shooling game sl during last week. The reassembling of famous expert shots of Nebraska in Omaha tor the match between the city and state teams has been the occasion of a general Informal renewing of all the ties known to trigger artists, and onmce more the old times and the old shoots and the old tecords have been rehearsed and revised The daytimes bhave been devoted to shoot- Ing,, but the night times have been given to reminipoence. In thid gossip and yarn Ing has cropped out a grist of interesting stories of the things that were in the shooting history of Nebraska and many a gunner has had recalled vividly to him Scenes ot past shoots which had escaped his mind. This {s not the first time that these two teams have met each other. Last Feb- fuary they held a race here and the state team beat the local boys by only five birds, scoring 231 to 226 out of 240 trapped for tach team. As usual, Bray was against Parmelee and they closed the match with the last round. Parmelee took all his birds and Bray lost three. Nor will this be the last meet for these teams. No later than next April they will come together sgain at Grand Island. The clybs of that town and North Platte give a big shoot there on April 1, 2 and 3. The Omaha team bas been asked to come down for another §0 withithe Nebraska men at large, and they say sure they'll go. Most of yester- fay's team will participate, although a few will be unable to get away. The members o each feam spent their time before the shoot last week telling the others that they would mever get to Grand Island after Saturday was past, for very shame at their showls Organized trap shooting has been going on In Nebraska now for twenty-seven years. Few people would belleve this at a thought, but the twenty-seventh annual state shoot will oceur at Lincoln next April 19 and 30 and May 1. The first shoot was held at Plattsmouth in 1876. None of the men who were mbled here yesterday participated In that shoot, but some of them have been shooting almost that long. Dan Bray of Columbus holds the record of being the man who has shot at traps longer than any one else in Nebraska still actively engaged in the sport. Bray won & live bird race at Nebraska City in 1878, first {ntroduction to the traps. In point ot years W. T. Denn of Brownville, Neb., holds the palm as the oldest trap shooter In the state. He is 80 years of age and is et a formidable opponent. He has been shooting at traps a score of years. He could not get in for yesterday's shoot. A large attendance is expected at the coming state shoot, as trap interest this year seems to be stronger than ever. In talking it over last week, the assembled gunners one and all harked back to: the shoot ‘of 1901, held at Lincoln also, which was thd becasion of the hottest pair race for first honors’ ever known in the west. It was Dan Bray, the old-timer, who led the going ‘all the way. He entered in every ovent and started by killing 116 straight before he missed. Then he ‘went at it again.and killed eighty more without & break. Finally he ended up the shoot, baving missed only three out of 215 trapped. That was a most phenomenal record, but, as Dan puts it grimly today, ven then I couldn’t have the glory. This Bill Crosby of O'Fallon, Ill., goes me one better and loses only two out of 215, and I stand second after doing a line of shoot- ing that I'll never equal again.” And It Is almost & safe bet that Crosby never will, elther. In no sport does rivalry become more In- tense than 'iIn the shooting game. One thing that leads to this s the oustom of palring men according to precedent. is, to put against each other always men wha have opposed each other previ- ously, In this middle west there are a balf dozen shooters or more who would not miss being pitted against each other for any money. George B. Simpkins of Lin« coln and Charles Lewis of Omaha have earried thig rivalry farther than any other men. These two .cannot walt for their turns to come when a race is on, and they would be in favor of a team shoot every week. Frank Fogg of Omaha and the old veteran B 27, or Frank Beard of Herman, form another pair that are out for each other's blood at the trap game. Frank Parmelee of Omaha and Dan Bray of Columbus are another couple that refuse to shoot against anyone but each other. These little rivalries have come to be recognized by the other shoot- | Kansas City erack | of trying to shoot | smiled grimly | Enlfott e nd they never lose a chance to pair L off the men this way. At a gathering of the shooters last Thursday a story was told on Dan Bray that almost made that old war horse blush beneath his tan id Sandy McDonald “The best joke ever got was two years ago, when we were shooting against Kansas City's team here. Bray was shooting against J. A. R. Eiliott, the Parmelee, Bray's Ne- braska bitter rival, but his team mate on this occasion, was shooting against Chris Gottlieb, another corking good man from the southern city. 1 called Bray out and asked him to pick 125 of the fattest pigeons be could find for Parmeles and Gottlieb. Dan's eyes lighted up. It anyone knew & hard pigeon in a coop he did, and here was & scheme to spoil Parmelee's score and to lower Gottlieb's, too. S0 Dan came out to the coop, where there were about 2,000 birds. He spent just an hour going over them and when he was done he had the pick of the lot, sure. There was not a bird left in the coop that was as good as any one of the 125 he had picked. one of his had a speck of white in it. Al dull blue and little bits of things no bigger with their feathers on than a golf ball And they all had their crops empty and were game and active as only a starved bird can be. I shuddered when I thought those birds, dnd Bray was certainly a game to go up againsh. Well, to make a long story short, I took the birds out and in stead of giving them to Parmelee and Gottlieb 1 gave them out for Bray and It was a funny sight. When Dan came to the mark he gave the word and tho trap flew open. The little bird went out and away like a flash of blue lightning, and Bray stood there holding his gun. Then he caught onto the game and worked as ho never had before. He knew what those birds were like and he caught forty- seven of the fifty—remarkable work on that bunch of pigeons. Let me say also that he made a world's record for trapping and retrleving on that bunch. We trapped and retrieved 100 birds In just thirty-one minutes. There wasn't a ‘no bird’ in the bunch. = That record has never been equalled.” we 1t Nebraska's crack shots are rejoiced to hear that Kansas City's team wants to try them on mgain. Chris Gottlieb, one of the best men on the Kansas City team, has been visiting Frank Parmelee, and_he says that his team is anxious to come up here and try conclusions once more. Seven times now have teams from these two éitlos inet, and the Omahans have won six of the seven shoots. All were ffty-bird races but the last two, which were twenty-five each. The local men have jumped at the offer of the Missourlans, and the match will probably come off in March. It is remarkable how close the total scores have always been In these races. or five races at Kansas City, Omaha has won by two birds twice, by five once, by seven once and by eleven once. That s a small number out of several bhundred birds trapped. In these Kansas City-Omaha matches Jim Smead holds the best record individu- ally. He has participated In five of the races and holds high average, with a per- centage of .95. Smead is now out of tho game, but the local sports hope he will come back to it before long. An interest- ing feature of these shoots also has Loen the rivalry between Frank Parmelee and Chris Gottlieb. The first time the Omaha team went to Kansas City “Buffalo Hump" was matched against Gottlieb, and he went after the native's scalp from the start, and got it. The next time thé Kansas City man came here, and Gottilsb repail the drubbing with interest, taking Parmelee in tow in good style. And so it has con- tinued from year ta year, always koen rivalry, but always good-natured. These men always shoot each other. On February 22 the Dickey Bird Gun club will glve a shoot at the Omaha Gun club grounds across the river. An elaborate day's sport is planned, as there will be ‘ive bird and target events in profusion. This will be one of the last shoots before the hunters begin to scatter out after water fowl, and a Jarge attendance is expected. Carl von Lengerke, for years one of the crack shotgun artists of the world, ha been in Omaha during the last week and h: been over at the cross-river grounds almost every day, startling the natives with bis expertness at the trigger and traj Von Aengerke has twice held the coveted honor of being runner-up in the Grand Amerlcan Handicap events, though he has never suc- ¢eeded in taking top honors. BASKET BALL GETS NEW LIFE Captain Miller of Y. M. C. A, ¢ Resigns Tom Osborne Comes On. Team Gus Miller, right forward and captain on the Young Men's Christian association first basket ball team, has resigned from the team. In years gone by Miller was known as one of the best forwards in the west. He has not played till this season for some years, and fn the interim grew fat and heavy. This year Miller got out on the floor again. He worked hard to reduce his welght and get down into proper training on Bray | Not | condition, but it was impossible to do so much 1n the short season and with the in- frequént hours he could devote to practice. He has played through all the games so | tar, baving met the Lincoln assoctation | team, the Haskell Indians, Kansas Unl- versity and Sloux City assoclation. The last two games were lost, and because of | that Miller decided to leave the team. He realfzed that he is too fleshy to be fast, | and that he could not play up to his former star game. He is regarded as a fine basket ball coach, as he knows the game from end to end Miller {s highly commended for his con- sideration in getting off the team when he thought it would be bettered thereby. The other members, too, think that with a speedy forward on the right side they can build up the team to championship form again. It was overwhelmingly victorious in its first two games, defeating even the Haskell Indians, the fastest team in the transmissour! country, by a big score. But in the Kansas game here Miller was run off his feet by the opposing guard. The Omaha captain is a suré goal thrower when he gets the ball, but he never got it. At Sioux City the same thing happencd a week ago Thursday. Miller realized the condl- tion of things and gracefully left the team. Tom Osborne, a young divinity student, is picked to play that forward job. Just at the close of last season he got into the game for a short time and played with the first team. He showed up remarkably well, 8o that this year they tried to get him again. He was unable to arrange his study hours so as to play, but now can do so. Osborne is wiry, strong, rather light and generally well suited for a for- ward save that he is not tall enough. It 16 expected that with his advent the team will regain form and confidence, and will suffer no more reverses this season. The defeats that came so unexpectedly were very unfortunate, in that they marred a season that had started out like a sure clean card. Teams much inferlor to those that had fallen before the Omahans de. feated them at the last. Although no captain has yet been se- lected to fill Miller's capacity it is almost assured that Jardine, the left forward, wilt bo the man. He has played on the team two years, and has, during that time, been the star of the quintet always. 'He fs Wtrong, quick, fast on his feet and fast in the head as well. In the game with the Haskell Indians he was the only white man to approximate the speed of the red ones. With Its team rehabilitated the assocla~ tion is looking forward eagerly to the rest of its games. On Friday, February 20, the men go to Lincoln to play the association team there a return game. Then on March 6 the Sloux City team comes here for a return match. This last will ba a chance for a squaring up, and the locals hope to double the score. The southern trip to Kansas and Missouri is still on the tapls, but it may be abandoned. It was practi- cally assured two weeks ago, but the terri- ble slump the team took about that time rather gave a quietus to any proposition for an elaborate trip. ATHLEICS AT THE UNIVERSITY Charter Day Trisls Have the Lead, but All Departments Are Busy, During no week of the year has there been so much actual activity along so many different lines of athletic work at the Uni- versity of Nebraska as the one just past. It has, it is true, been work of a prepara- tory sort, action “behind the scenes’” as it were, but to:the few who have been on the, inside it has been a ‘week of great ac- complishments, nevertheless, In every de- partment save foot ball, and even the grid- iron has come in for its share of gossip. The gymnasium has been a theater of ex- citement during the last six days, seldom equaled at the Institution, and during every afternoon h: been crowded with dozens of muscular men, getting into shape for track team events, basket ball aud base ball. Most prominent' during the week, per- haps, has been Captain Tobin's track team. Some thirty earnest candldates are now out for places. The several events scheduled for Charter day (tomorrow) have glven added interest and made a few of the best men of the crowd get down to serious training. The Charter day contests are al- ways held In the armory, and always draw great crowds of those who are fond of clean, fast athletics. This year the day promises especial interest, from the fact that the university is for the flist time under an active physical director, Dr. Clapp, who goes into tralning with the men and gives them the benefit of his own experience. Dr. Clapp is one of the most finished athletes ever turned out by Yale, and has as a souvenir of lis college days the champlonship of the world at pole vaulting. Tomorrow will be his initial ap- pearance before the public with his proteges and thus the events will be watched with eagerness, to note his methods of going at ‘thing The list of events scheduled for the Charter day exhibition is a good one and will bring upon the floor some of the most aglle acrobats in the university.

Such an event has never been tried and If the en- tries can be secured It promises to be one of the most interesting numbers of the day. It is not possible at present to give | the names of the men who will try for the different honors, beeause the entry list is left ‘open until the last minute, but it is safe to state that a big bunch of men will g0 in. In the short sprints States will make a | strong showing, but wil be pressed by | Burg, Hiltner, Lucler, Corr and Manning, or whoever of them enter. In the running high jump Benedict should find a fairly easy proposition, but “Bill" Johnson has a chance to beat him. These same two men will compete for the high notch at pole vaulting, and the outcome is merely a matter of conjecture. Last year Johnson cleared the bar higher up than anyone else in school, but “Benny” {8 & fast all-round man, tall and slender, and does well at pretty nearly anything In the way of ath- letics, from track work to foot bal At putting the shot and other welght work Captain Tobin himself will do things, to- gether with Hickle and Martin. As to the other events, the chances are all up in the alr and any definite estimate is impossible. For the track work'in the spring, pros- pects were never better. Dr. Clapp is an enthusiastic trainer in this line, and ai- ready the Interest In track training shows the effect of his personal influence. The team was called out for the first time last week, and went immediately into ele- mentary working out, taking at first a little run around the “gym” and increasing the time of work each day. About thirty re- sponded to the call and every day sees them all on the floor. Next week pre- Iiminary training will be begun on the in- dividual events, with out-of-door exercise to come later. “The material,” eald Cap- tain Tobin yesterday, “is here for a first- class track team. Never before have we had the opportunity to train under a man like Dr. Clapp, and it will make all the difference in the world when it comes to getting results. It the fellows develop into extraordinary stuff, and I see mno reason why, they may not, I think we should be ‘able to take the crowd in for the Chi- cago meet and declare to the Big Nine that foot ball 1s not our only strong point, after all.” Among the most promising of those who have so far entered for the track work, may be mentioned States, the fast little mile man, who runs to school “to get up hig wind;” Benedlict, who will go a halt mile quickly and touch the high places at the pole vault and high jump; Herman Lehmer, an Omaha sophomore, who runs a mile well; Mouck, a hurdler of more than ordinary ability; Burg, a epeedy fellow at the 100-yard dash; Hiltner, the basket ball man, who also speeds on the cinder path for a mile and for the half; Lucier, an- other rapid goer; “BI" Johnson, the popular Jittle colored boy, who gets out with the foot ball equad, plays base ball and is just now getting ready to detend his pole vault title; Corr, a good man at the half mile and mile runs; Martin, who made quite a hit last year and will spend some time this year with the weights; Hickle, another heavy man, who will handle the hammer and ehot; Bender, the foot ball captain, base ball “star” and 100-yard dasher, and Bentley, Selzer, Reed, Borg, Kanzler, G. E, Lee, Pimbrook, Col- lins and E. F. Myers, who will all appear on Nebraska flelds at the meets, in one way and another. Besides these, there Is & new man, from Omaha, named Updike, who hails from Lawrence school, at Law- rence, N. J, and who looks good to the critics. He has been used to going the mile, and will undoubtedly do something worth while in Nebraska. ‘In Lawrence, he remarked, “we begin to train for the track immediately aftéer Thanksgiving, but Nebraska seems to have remarkably strong men, for all of tha Another man upon whom the coaches are staking much is Ed Manning a Lincoln High school boy, who won everything in- terscholastically last spring, tore ‘things up nicely at the St. Joseph meet, and will, it he can be persuaded to enter, unques. tionably make a strong addition to the Nebraska aggregation. Manning's particu- lar events are the 440 and 220-yard dashes, and he is sald to be one of the fastest in the west. Another promising bunch are Newton, the basket ball man, Sampson, Green, Sergeant, Shannon, Gladdis an Morris, all of whom are now in the “‘gym.” As to meets for the track team, things are yet a trifie unsettled. Manager Bd ‘Walton is in constant correspondence, how- ever, and thinks there will be several good tournaments, One has already been booked ‘with Kansas university at Lawrence, on May 16, and others are pending, awaiting action of the athletic board tomorrow night. 0ld Jack Best, the trainer, 1s happy. He again hears, all day long, the chug of the horsehide, as it sinks into the upholstered walls of the “cage.” For weeks he has been longing for the sound and for a chance fo call “the next mon" of the base ball boys as they stepped Into the shower. The tossers were called out for the first time something doing among the candidates. There will, apparently, be nearly forty to try for positions and the prospects are that three or four scrub teams will play around on the diamond when the season opens. Captain Murray Townsend is now back in the university and is giving the training his personal attention. Townsend is an old head at the game, is a wizard with his arm and popular with the men. Interest centers about the twirlers who} are trying to get into the box with an “N" sweater over their chests. A few weeks ago there seemed 10 be & discourag ing lack of throwing material, but, as Townsend predicted, this week has brought out any number of them and the team will be,able to play a pitchers’ battle to a finish. One of the most promising who has yet gone into the cage is Longanaecker, a | Wahoo man, who is sls0o known in the vicinities of West Polnt and Wausa. He 1s & tall fellow, has a motion like a drive wheel and a pretty set of curves. Another is Thomson, the halfbreed Indian boy, who | tried for the team last year and threw out | his arm later in the season. He has good | speed, but is shaky on control, which weak- ness, however, the coach hopes to over- come. Goar is another new man for the box and. comes from California, where he made & great reputation last year with the Red Oak High school. From his in- door work he seems to possess plenty of the proper article Prominent as candidates for the mask are Wilson, who wil] probably be a tackle on the foot ball team mext fall, and Whit- comb, who has dropped in from Friend, Neb. Bender may also 0 In for the back stop stunt, but is just as llkely totry for a place on the infleld, or anywhere else, where men are shy. Part of the time he pitches and part of the {ime he catches, and has come nearer dolog both well than any one else in the school. Steln, of Wahoo, will try for either second or third and it is possible that Hood. the speedy little third baseman of last year, will-return. For the initial sack two men are prominent candidates, “Ollie” Mickel, the foot ball tullback, and Wright, a tall, slender fellow from the law schoo], who went to Kansas in tennis last fall and cleaned up Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska for the trophy at singles. Shelmer, an Omaha man, will be ia for bis old place in ihe garden and | termination BRIUIRNTITU RE FOUR COMPLETE CHANGES Change of Name Change of Management Change of Business Policy and last, but not least Change of Prices Every piece of Furniture in our store has been reduced from 15 to 33 1.8 per cent. odd pieces, but a This is not a reduction of a few Closing Out of Every Piece of Furniture in our store.

It was thought all elong that the team was a remarkably good one, considering the fact that it had to be entirely made this year. But because of the lack of experlence, it was hardly hoped that the seven men who went west would return with more than half of their con- tests won, and so, when they tore up the westerners for four games ouf of five played, and the fifth lost by hard luck, the team that handled the lesther went up materfally in the estimation of the uni- versity at large. Manager Hiltner had his crowd out for just a week, and they played some flercely contested games on the route. At Denver they won their first game against | the Denver university by a score of 44 m" 29; at Colorado Springs they beat Colo- rado college, 37 to 11; at Boulder they de- feated the Colorado university, 27-to 12; at Greeley the High school téam bowed to a whipping of 25 to 16, and then the boys started home. They were exhausted com- pletely by the week's trip and the high altitude, and came into Cheyemne for a final e sgainst the business college. The floor was remarkably slippery, and the shrewd natives wore suction shoes, which stuck to the boards. Nebraska was en- tirely unprepared for this, and the game went from them, 28 to 42. But one defeat out of five games played is nothing to be ashamed of, and Nebraska has a right to be proud of its men. Cap< tain Hewitt is not only a great floor mana- ger in action, but he gets around some as In one game, alone, he threw ten from the field, which 18 a very re- markable feat. This was at Denver, the first night out. Elllott also was a star, and his special turn seemed to be throwing goals from the foul line. In one contest he dropped the ball through the basket eleven times out of - a possible dozen. Benedict dld some remarkable work in throwing long distance goals. He tossed the leather from one end of the hall to the other for & goal in every game he entered, and Aid it with the same uncon- cern that characterized his drop kicks from the fleld on the gridiron last fall. Hilts ner's play was not so spectacular, but was of the steady, even sort, throughout. Hoar only went into one game, the last, but made a creditable swing at it, and ton played the side lines and umpired during the entire trip. “It was the team work,” he remarked yestorday, “that won for the Nebraskans. The numerous little trick plays that Dr. Clapp bad put them next to, together with their constant de- to make every point count, brought them back with the four games | to their credit. And we should have had five,” he concluded The season for basket ball is nearing the end. Alresdy it is taking a back seat in favor of the track work and base ball, and but few more games are likely to be played. There is, however, a strong probability that the team will meet the Omaha Young Men's Christian association within a very short time now, and interest centers around the contest on account of the superb article of game that the Omaha boys have been putting upon the floor. It s very possible that the eastern trip, for a time planned, may have to be given up. With the end of the play in sight, it is but natural to sum up the season’s work. And in the process of summing up, the defend- ers of the Scarlet and Cream do not suffer. They have played the Lincoln Young Men's Christian assoclation, the Haskell Indians, Kansas and the five of the recent trip. They have met some of the flercest basket ball agsregations fu the west, and they have won over half of their games, and this with the enormous disadvantage-of not baving & single old man back for the play.
