Making a Fool OF Ono OF the Fellows vqhe
"IIave Heard 1t Before"
II is difficult 10 dwell in love and
amity with the man who inevitably
caps your best story with the remark,
"Yes, I've heard that before" and
who invariably has seen in the paper
whatever opinion you have TO offer
upon any Of the momentous questions
OF the day.
Upstir was one of this kidney. He
had exasperated Fogg repeatedly, until
forbearance had ceased TO be virtue;
but Fogg was pretty hard on Upstir
when he did strike back-though, to
tell the truth, Upstir hadn't sense
enough to know what rough ham
ding he was getting. But we antici-
pate.
Fogg-It is a remarkable fact that
eattle, when exposed to the weather,
Invariably face the wind, which If
they turned their backs to il would
blow under their hair and chill them.
Upstir-Yes, / saw that in the paper

After an interval Fogg has some
thing 10 say about the tariff.
"Say what you will, no system of
impost duties can be permanent which
does not recognize the rights of the
masses"
Urstir-That's Just what Blenkin-

Upstir-Yes, that is word for word

Fogg-And speaking of cavalry re-
minds me that il is the custom on the
plains for the men to ride with their

the enemy may not advance too closely
to their rear.

went up to report the fight, and on the night
of the battle there was three or four thousand
men packed in the big rink, and about three
thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Of
them were anxious to back Weir at the rate
were justified in their anxiety to give odds
was attested by the fact that the crafty
Spider made a monkey out of Tommy. This
may have been accounted for, however, by
the fact that on the afternoon of the fight
Miller did considerable lushing, and at the
ring-side was almost entirely without friends
or advisors.
In the first round Miller went a Weir as If
he had n snap. driving the witty Belfast lad
ali over the ring, but never once getting in
a blow. He resumed these tactics In the
second round, not realizing that the Spider
had only been sizing him up, and was not
ready to risk his reputation against a wholly
unknown man. Just before the call OF time
in the second round, Miller had rushed Weir
back against the ropes, and as the latter en-
deavored to dodge out OF harms way, Tommy
caught him a vicious jolt on the left cheek,
cutting a cash and drawing first blood.
When they came up for the third round
there was murder In the Spiders eyes, and
the way he went at Miller left little doubt as
to the superiority of the two men. He first hit
him u swinging right-hander in the neck, and
followed this up with a series of iabs with
his left that soon had poor Tommy so groggy
that he didn't know whether he was in Min.
neapolls or the soup. He was game, how
ever, and made every effort to get back at
the Spider, but it was of no avail, and in the
seventh round he was hanging on the ropes,
a bruised and battered pug, bearing little
Tommy Miller. The Omaha boy got but sos
out of the 81, 800 that was taken in at the
gate, and Disguised, he left Omaha a few
days later, and has never been back since.

Tommy Miller. the ex-omahan.

Tommy Miller, the feather weight, for
merly Of this city, now of Indianapolis, and
Frank McHugh of Cincinnati, are matched
for a finish fight before the Young Mems
Athletic CLUB, New Orleans, on the night of
December 80. The mill is for a purse OF 5000
and 90 and 40 per cent Of the gate. Miller is
in training at the old Spanish Fort, and de-
clares he will do McHugh right of the reel.
He will find the Cincinnati boy a tougher nut
to crack than he imagines, however. and had
better not step into the ring with the idea
that he has what the boys call a sausage"
Miller's braggadocio recalls his memorable
fight with Iae Weir, at Minneapolis, two
years ago. Before that fight he was going
TO paralyze the Belfast Spider in a round or
two. He knew that Weir had whipped HAY
lin, Warren and several other good ones
since his arrival in this country. but he in
tended to show him what a real live feather
weight was. Under the membership of Ar
thur Rothery, Miller put in u full month at
rigid training out at Joe Rowles road-house,
and lust before he left for Minneapolis really
did look as il he was lit to fight
for feather. weights life. But

The Differences Atwjxt Them.

The brutalities of the prize ring are depre-
Gated by all law-abiding and respectable citi-
zens, and the press is unanimous in its de-
nuuciation. After every battle, long con-
demnatory editorials are to be found on one
page and a glowing and graphic description
of the combat on the other. But how about
the alleged football matches that have re-
Gently taken place between the students of
the leading colleges of the country, where
dotlng mammas lovely daughters, mingled
with the thousands OF kid-gloved gentle
men, and screamed themselves hoarse and
waved the colors of their favorites,
until their arms were ready to drop of,
as they jostled and crowde one another In
their eagerness not to miss a blow or a kick,
or a smash or a Rouge of the beautiful strug-
gle that was raging on the field. Football
is, unquestionably, an exhilarating sport, but
played as IL was by Yale ana Harvard and
Princeton during the present season it is
nothing less than a savage pastime, a brutal
sport equaling Almost the sang llnary con-
tests of the old Roman coliseum. The
reason that these displays of rOwdyism aud
brutality evoke so little comment is because
the fight is made by collegians, the scions of
wealthy families, aud not the professional
manly followers of fighting for a living.
However, sporting, like society, must have
its full share of snobbery.

President Mccormick in his effort to sign
Joe Walsh for next season, has had his eyes
opened. Joe was signed last season for Sl15
a month for five months and u half, and upon
McCormich's Offering him an increase of S25
Joe informed the president that that was ex-
actly what he received the past season, and
he thought he ought to have still more.
"NO, you only received $l75 a month last
season. joe" said President Mccormick IN
some surprise.
"But, l tell YOU repe ated Joe, ''that ! got
5000
Then Mccormick turned to the books and
there it was sl75 per month.
But Walsh explained by informing the
mystified president that Manager Selee paid
HIM the extra S25 on each pay day out OF his
own pocket. He also told the president that
Jimmy Cooney, who was signed for S1S3 n
month, likewise receiv ed 5000. Selee paying
the extra sl7, as in Walsh's case. out of his
W pocket.
To say that Mccormick was dumbfounded
Is but drawing IL mild.
Why did Manager Selee pay these men
extra money, and how many more OF them
received a perquisite of this kindi Was
Selee really the manager OF the Omahas last
season, or was he the secret agent of the
Bostons or Chicagos, or some other big clubl
IL does not seem reasonable that Selee paid
tnls extra money out OF ms W meagre
salary simply to satisfy the demands of these
players, and II is quite obvious that the
money did not come out of his pocket. Then
whose pocket did it come out of, ana what
was the object Boston secured our great
twirler, kid" Nichols, and that too, after
the local management had literally sold him
10 Cincinnati. Chicago got Cooney and
Maggie, and Selee was accused of treachery
In selling them without first notifying the
management here.
Now, what does it all mean anyway
That's what President Mccormick would
like TO know, aud that's what the public
would like to know.
1t is hardly possible that as honorable q
seeming gentleman as Frank Selee, was en-
gagged in any piece of crookedness that
meant the robbery Of his employers of their
best players; and yet 1t is hard to explain.
Perhaps Manager Selee will speak up.

been very energetic in looking out for them

ten and eleven years of age, but they are
