outsided athletes have also been attracted
by the prizes and have entered their
names.
A class Of High school boys has been
recently organized in the gymnasium to
prepare for field athletics in the spring,
Training of a general nature will be the
program for several weeks, when individual
work in different field and track events will
be taken up in anticipation of field day, an
annual feature at the High school. The
Cross Country club of the High school has
taken advantage of the recent compare
lively mild weather and has made several
runs, the regular date being on Saturday

good physical trim. The Irishman when
weighed tipped the scales at 100 pounds.
His muscles are as hard as a rock and he
looks the picture of health.
Mccoy, who has been doing his training
at Muldoon's place on the outskirts of
White Plains, is also in good condition. lie
weighs IA pounds, which is nineteen
pounds more than he scaled when he fought
Sharkey. He said his health is now at
the best, and, altogether, he never felt in
better shape for a battle. He is confident
OF defeating the freshman and says that
Maher will find him equally at home at
close as well as long-range fighting.
Here's a good one on Tommy Ryan, the
pugilist, well known in this city, from the
Cincinnati Enquirer: Tommy Ryan, the
shifty m~iddleweight. has left Cincinnati for
West Baden, Ind. The willy and frugal
Syracusan didn't add any large amount of
wealth to his bank account by his efforts in
the referee line Monday night. Although
the management of the McGovern show
sent an offer of 500 and expenses to Siler
to referee the bouts, it did not give Ryan
one-siXth of the sum. II was several hours
after the show, and no one said anything
to Ryan about the price, About l o'clock
yesterday morning the middleweighter said
to Manager Harris; "Do you think my
health was in need of a job Of refereeing p"
What do you mean" said Harris. Did
you think ! got in that ring last evening
for fun?' continued Ryan, Manager Har-
ris went down in his vest pocket and handed
Ryan a $40 gold piece and a So gold piece,
He saw that Ryan was going to kick about
the compensation, when he fastened TO say:
THAT Is all the money | have out of the
safe. III leave some more for you AT the
hotel in an envelope" Manager Harris
must have forgotten the incident, for he
went away yesterday morning and Ryan is
still looking for the envelope.

loco and Mnhcr VIII Meet New
Years AfternOon-hrcnt Interest
Conferred in the Event.

With the sporting fraternity and followers
Of pugilism the all-abs0rbing matter of in
terest now is the big battle between Mccoy
and Maher on New Years afternoon. Opin
ion as to what the result will be is about
evenly divided. Maher asserts with a con
flGent air that the battle will end before the
fifteenth round. Mccoy, on the other hand,
refuses to be as positive, but merely predicts
that the fight will not go TO the limit, As is
usual in such cases, each declares that he
will be the winner.
The meeting between the freshman and the
young hoosior promises 10 be a battle royal.
Strength and hitting power are in favor of
the Irishman, but in the matter OF science
tho boyish American is Peters superior,
Maher is by no means a coarse sluggcr. lie
Is clever to a degree, but as compared with
! Mccoy he is by no means in the ~lattcr's
class. Mahor has to depend almost entirely
upon his hitting qualities to score a victory.
Maher says he will force the fighting from
the start and expects to land often enough
to score d quick victory. In speaking OF Nc
Coy's qualities Mahor said,
THE Kid is without doubt a very clever.
sk,fty fighter. He is also very game, but he
can't stand punishment, owing to hi frail
frame and constitution. / can afford 10 take
at least three ci his blows in order to land
one. If ! could hold Sharkey safe why
shouldn't ! beat Mccoy? / think the fight
viii be Il fast and short one. It will be no
fault Of mine il it is not over inside Of fr-
teen rounds"
Mccoy realizes that Maher can hit a ter.
rifle blow and inhiet severe punishment
whenever he lands. but Mccoy does not thinl
that Maher can lay a glove on him. Al
+ least the kid" has great confidence in his
ability to avoid Maher's famous swings, that
have sent many ambitious p|ueilists TO sleep
lie believes that he can stop Msher In
about ten rounds. So sure is Mccoy OF su

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
Established Certainty that National League
Circuit Will Be Reduced.
ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO WESTERN LEAGUE
In Reorganization Of Bnsc Ball Affairs
M~iDncaooiis -. Paul and knn-
sus City VIII Likely Join
New western League

There seems but little doubt now that the
circuit of the National league will be re-
duced to eight clubs. The question was lclt
undecided by the annual meeting of the
league magnates, at which, in fact, almost
everything of interest to the base ball world
was left in an unsettled condition or was NOT
even touched at all. The matter Of reduc-
ton, however, was placed in the hands of
a committee and in all probability ~satisfac-
tory terms will he arranged whereby the pur-
chasing of the franchises Of the four clubs
which will be dropped can be accomplished
without difficulty. That the reduction Of the
National league circuit to eight clubs Is abb
solutely essential to the future success and
popularity Of the game cannot be gainsaid,
This accomplished, the next thing in order
Is the provision for a frst-class article OF
base ball FOR the big cities which will be
dropped in the weedinE-ou t process. The
American league-the outgrowth Of the
Western league of last year-is in position
20 fll the breach and a. the same time oc-
cupy such a position as to send a-glimmer-
ing the plans OF the magnatos who have pro-
posed to organize a new American G%ssOcia-
tion to compete with the National league.
With the reduction Of the National league
10 eight clubs the membership Of the Amer
lean league will in all likelihood consist OF
Washington. Buffalo, Baltimore and Phila,
delphia in the east and Chicago. Detroit
Milwaukee and indianapolis In the west, by
such a plan the cream Of the base ball field
will be completely occupied by the NatiCna
and the American leagues and the scheme ,C
put in a new national association will fail
of realization. Such a plan Will result II
raising the standard Of the American league
by a considerable margin. This will be
necessary in order to satisfy the base bal
lovers in the cities which have heretofore
enjoyed National league teams.
The Importance of all this from a loca
standpoint can readily be appreciated. The

each has a large sporting contingent that de-
mauds a tirst-class grade of base ball and
the support accorded the game in the past
has been Of the best. The only way open
70" the realization of this demand for pro
f~cssional ball lies through the medium OF
the newly organized Western league.
With these conditions present it is puerile
TO advance the claim that the Western league
is already lettering on the brink of ruin. No
base ball organization ever had brighter
prospects. II Is true that Lincoln has drop
pea out and this move was a most sensible
one. II was found that sufficient financial
support for the team was not forthcoming
and the promoters of the team wisely con-
cluded to drop out on the start rather than
to enter the season with poor prospects Of
being able to finish. Dcs Mcines. too, will
probably not be a member of the league, as
was originally intended. But with Mime
aTolis. ST. Paul and Kansas City one Of the
strongest organizations ever effected in the
west will be possible. The remaining five
cities in the circuit will probably be Omaha,
Sioux city, st, Joseph, Denver and Pueblo.
The only questionable city is Pueblo. The
feasibility Of admitting it to membership lies
in the fact that it is located in the vicinity

Buckerino Keith is in high clover these

Of prosperity and the favor Of fortune which
has attended all of his efforts and everything
with which he has been identified. He is
something Of a mascot himself, so his friends
consider, and as long as he is identified with
the new league there is but little doubt OF
its development into a healthy, sprightly in

Omaha is going TO he a top notcher in the

established by reason OF the encouragement

the raising Of funds Manager Keith has put
into circulation a book OF coupon tickets. en-

The Omaha Medical college foot ball
team, a picture of which recently appeared
in the illustrated supplement of The Bee,
dates its organization only since the mid
die of the last season. II has played but
two games this season, both Of which it
won. The first game was with Bellevue
college, with but two weeks practice and
without the benefit Of an experienced coach.
The game was hard fought and won by tho
small score of SO. At this time Dan Tay-
lor was hired to coach the team. In three
weeks, under Taylor's guidance, the team
developed a stone wall line and an excel
lent back field. A game with Creighton was
then arranged and took place at the Young
Mems Christian Association park. The
Omaha Medical college gained a decisive
victory, which was made principally on n
strong defense and guard and tackle
amashes, The Creighton team was unable
either to open up the line or to stop the
line bucks OF the Omaha team.
The result of the game was to awaken
enthusiasm among the faculty. alumni
and the students Of the Omaha Medical col
lego and the foot ball team as a result has
come TO be a permanent institution in the
institution. Already it is planning for
next season, when work will be begun
early and a number OF games arranged with
college and university teams Of this and
neighboring states. The faculty has con
tributed literally to defray the expenses OF
the team and has caused the erection OF
shower baths, dressing rooms and other
accoutremcnts necessary for its use. Al
most the entire team will return next year
with the exception Of Jefferson, right end.
and Thulin, right guard, both of whom are
seniors. There Is plenty Of material ready
and anxious to get in the game and take
the place OF these men.
