Sullivan and Charley Mitchell drew at Chantilly in 1888, Joe Jeannette of New York tonight defeated Sam McVey of California in the fittleth round of a finish fight. A great crowd witnessed a game exhibition of heavywelghts, the contest lasting for three and a half hours. McVey had the better of the fight up to the fortieth round and in both the twenty-first and twenty-second rounds he had the New Yorker so STOggy that he barely could keep on his feet. Jeannette bore the punishment bravely and recuperated in a wonderful manner. McVey had almost worn himself out after forty rourds and by this time the New Yorker was coming back. By effective in- fighting he gradually beat the Californian and practically had him knocked out when the fight ended, McVey's seconds throwing up the sponge. Jeannette was the favorite in the betting and the purse was $.000. It is understood that Jeannette now Inten”s to issue a challenge to Jack Johnson for the championship of the world. SOUTH OMAHA LINKS BETTER Imprevements Made at Country Club Improve Grow During the last three weeks muoch im- provement has been effected in the golf links of the Scuth Omaha Country ciub, Changes in the links have added much to the course in numerous ways. By the time of the spring opening, May 7, everything will be in good shape. New grass greens will take the place of the sand greens In use last year. The grass is coming up finely and will be up to standard by the date of opening. Several changes have been made in the course by which the length has been increased to 3100 yards instead of 2800 yards as formerly. New bunkers are belng constructed and four teeing grounds will be changed. Mr. Shults, keeper of the grounds, says the only thing which may delay him or prevent the links being in perfect condition will bo stress of weather out of the nrdlnlry TEACHERS BEAT CITY MEN Nebraska Oft © Team at Peru.

Min- nesota was second, Wisconsin, third; Ne- braska, fourth; and Washington Univer- sity, of 8t. Louls, fifth. D. C. Mitchell of Nebraska, won the in- dividual contest defeating O. N. Brendt of Chicago, by & small margin. Uszel of Min- nesota, was third in this contest. The | scores for the all-round contest were as fol- lows: Mitchell, 38.5; Berndt, 310.9; Ussel, 8.6 The conteAt was witnessed by a large crowd that filled the university armory. It dragged along until far after mid- night. Chicago had but little trouble in tak- lng off the leading honors in the team contest, being represented by the finest bunch of gymnasts ever seen at the lo- cal school. They were well drilled and carried off a majority of tne points in nearly every event. They took three places In five of the events. Nebraska was represented by but three men and had no chance of winning the team contest. All honor was given Mitchell for securing the individual medal. This contest was not decided un- | til the last event, the tumbling, was | pulled off. | The young Cornhusker and Berndt of Chi- cago were tled at the end of the fourth ovent. In the tumbling Mitchell injured his right ankle, but had it bandaged and went | into the last trial fighting bravely on a| painful ankle, and won out. | Uszel of Minnesota proved a powerful | athlete and took points in five of the events. E. T. Snively of Wisconsin starred for his team In the horizontal and parallel bars and in the side horse. Osthoff of Wisconsin won first place in the fiylng rings. A. G. Notle was the only representative Wash- ington university had entered in the team contest. He won 2724 points. The 146-pound wrestling contest resulted as follows: Hager, Washington, first; Alexander, Chicago, second., Hager won the first fall. The next two were draws. In the 165-pound wrestling match John- son of Minnesota was given first place after he had falled to throw Elliott of Chi- cago in four bouts. Davis of Chicago de- feated Relmers of Nebraska in the fenc- ing contest. 'rh- team scores were as follows: 12634, Minnesots mm ‘Ibu ebraska, ton, 268.4. Illchalls record was: Horisontal bars, parallel bl.rl. 79.6; wide horse, 75.9; flying rings, 7.6, tumbling, 4 NEBRASKA PLEA SR e Dr. Clapp of Umiw come :-mu, Jetory. the outcome 'of. e oull Vitem ot the 1088.6; Wis- ‘Washing- +1 RESULT Says Out- Cornhuskor Mitchel st glves the local students great satisfaction, for it was won against the best athletes from three of the leading schools of the west—Minnesota, Chicago and Wisconsin. Nebraska did not expect to win the team contest, for Dr. Clapp had only thrte athletes who could perform well enough to be entered in the contest. Two of these—Morehouse and Trump—are new at the work and had no chance agajnst the more ex lenced men from the other schools. Mitchell, the third Cornhusker, however, has for three years been rded as a star, and it was In him that hope for bringing honor to the scarlet and cream was centered. His spec- tacular work, despite a sore hand and wrenched ankle, won for him applause from all his compttitors and from the large aud- fence, He was easily the star of the con- eft. Mitchell won the medal by securing first place in two events; second place in two, and fourth place in another. Berndt of Chicago, who was Mitchell's closest com- petitor. took tirat place in one event. sec- ond place in one. third in two and ninth in tumbling. Berndt's poor work. i the tomb: 1ing allowed Mitchell to get the lead that gave the little Cornhusker the contest. U til_that event, which was the fifth, hald, the 1wo gymnasts ewre tied for first honors. Mitohell in the tumbling outclassed his opponent. winning first place in this event with 7.4 points, while Berndt made but 60.5 points. These two gymnasts Mr Mitchell first, 78.6.

Chicago's winning of the team contest so easily, with a margin of 174.8 points over its nearest competitor, came as a surprise, for both Wisconsin and Minnesota had been held as favorites over the Maroons. Minne- sota, who had been regarded a sure winner, had to take second place. The Chicago team was better balanced than the Gophers.

CHICAGO, April 18.—After a memorable speculative week the tickers' “good night” was recelved at noon today with a deeg sigh of relief from Board of Trade men, not to mention an army of laymen drawn into the vortex of the wheat pit by the publicity given James A. Patten, the bull leader, and his following. “Good night” meant a day and a hwif for qulet reflection on the great prablem of the season. Will the public cat this year'a or last year's wheat three months hence? Today Mr. Patten personally left the market 1o Its fate, which fate, from (he view of the Patten crowd, Improved con- siderably, as prices advanceg over a cent in May and July options. Mr. Patten puid his respects to Becretary of Agriculture Wilson, declaring that the latter's ostimate of available supplies is a joke and lecturod reporters who he alleges have been move entertaining than accurate in their stcriss, Tariff on Wheni As to talk of removing ( wheat as a slap at manipulato ten was for It “I'm in favor of removing it right now, because we will have to do it at the end of ten years at any rate. It would not affect the price of wheat a penny for the markets of the world are on a parity right now. Take off the duty on corn, oats and live stock, too, for it will-nct be long be- fore we will have to iport them. I have said this before and Jim HIl has n preaching it to the farmers along his rail- rouds for the last three or four year “As to Mr. Wilson, he fs absolutely in- correct. There was not 143,000,000 Dushels on farms on March 1. It was nearer 100,- 000,000 bushels. My information is better than his and 1 know what I'm talking about. But don't take It from me; go to any big trader who pays out his money for accurate information on which to risk bis capital. They say I have a corner in wheat. 1 have not. The wheat I hava could not feed the world for one duy.” Passing of May Deal. The week's place in speculative history is due to the practical passage of the so- called “May" deal and the active engage- ment of bulls and bears all along the line concerning the proper price of July con- tracts for wheat. From this time on the price of May may fluctuate erratically, but it Is stated that there will be little trading in it. The bears admit that Patten won in that struggle and that he is arbiter of the price. Hawever, few settlements of this delivery, it 1s said, remain to be made. The price 'duriig tie week ranged between $1.5% and 31.:8% and closed today at §1.28% Whether this price Is too high or too low cannot, of course, be known ualil the time for Gelivery on contracts. Both Secre- tary Wilson and Mr. Patten have remarked that “time will tell” and “timé’ in the present instance means the two monthe and a half from the present. That the fight between opposing Interests will be the most exciting on the Board of Trade no one doubts. In the aggregate it wili be waged between those who helieve in the accuracy of the government reports and tariff on Mr. Pate those who pin thelr faith o the FPetten view.
