pllcate whist in order to equalize more nearly
the chances of success. 1t IS expected that
the attendance will then be greatly in
creased, as many OF the business men OF the

in closing up their books for the year and
attending to the holiday trade.

STRIFE FOR WHIST TROPHY
Tables at EIks' Lodge Rooms Are

Brown Leads the Race.

The whist tournGment OF the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, which has
been in progress for several weeks at the
lodge rooms in the Ware block, is being
continued with signal success and more
players are constantly joining the tables, At
the session last Tuesday night thirty play
ers were engaged and the matches were
spiritedly contested, the scores being close.
p. J. S%cannelI, A. II. Comstock and George
S. Mason, the committee in charge, have
given prominence TO the social side OF the
tournament. as their object in promoting the
contest was to further goodfellowship among
the members. The players have small oppor-
tunity to exhibit any team work, as the
partners change with every hand, Each
players separate score is recorded and he
stands or falls on his individual merit.
The percentages are ascertained by divid-

TRACK TEAM IS IN TRAINING
Athletes Work on Cindcr Path in
Preparation for Field Day in
the spring.

The Omaha High school track team is
already beginning its training for field day
next spring and some good material Is being
brought out. There are about thirty stu
dents in the team and each man is devel-
oping his speciality under the tutelage OF
Prof. Nathan Bernstein of the classical de-
partment and Physical Director Barnes of
the Young Mems Christian association.
Welsh and English are getting into form
with the hammer and Lehmer and Painter
are working up speed for the quarter mile
dash. Lehmer also does good work in the
half-mile class. The Cross Country club
has been formed among the students for
long distance work and the runs are made
on Saturday mornings.
The mild weather allows OF considerable
outdoor work of this kind and the lack Of
a gymnasium is not felt as would other
wise be the case. One year ago the High
school boys were offered the privilege of
the Turnverein gymnasium under direc-
ton OF Prof. Reitzer, but this winter they
have no indoor facilities whatever for phys
zeal training.
The annual meeting of the State Inter
scholastic league, of which Prof. Nathan
Bernstein of the Omaha High school is
president, will be held at Lincoln in con-
nection with the Nebraska Teachers asso-
citation this week. Matters of interest to
school sports will be discussed and it is
rumored that action will be taken looking
to the exclusion of professionalism from
High school athletes, particularly foot ball.
AS is we'll known, the Lincoln eleven lost the
championship this year owing to the fact
that two men had played who were barred
by the rules. One had held a position on
the varsity eleven and another had coached
an up-country college team. 1t is desired

The introduction OF the automobile and
the increased popularity of pneumatic-tired
wheels for road wagons has opened a new
field for the enterprising bicycle dealer, and
he is taking advantage of it. Many OF the
wise dealers now carry in stock parts and
repair materials for both the automobile and
the rubber-tired wagon. The parts carried
in stock include hubs, tires, spokes, nipples
and rims, so that a driver of one of the
modern vehicles who meets an accident on
the road will not, as a general thing, have
to travel far to get repairs made.

Now. just when winter is here and Wa
begin to discuss the dances we shall be at
tending, comes tho Information from a doc
tor that cycling is bad for dancing. 1t Ia
asserted that wheeling destroys a dancers
grace and ease of motion. Men will there
fore keep their eyes open wider this winter
than ever to see il those women of their
acquaintance who used to dance divinelN
and who have cycled exceedingly well are
really as clumsy and awkward as they
ought to be If the Doctors theory is correct.
1t may be so! There is no doubt that
people who DO very much cycling become
very unseemly walkers. Therefore cyclists
should remember that other exercise Is
good for them. Cycling develops certain
muscles which are admirable for propelling
o wheel but are not entirely applicable to
walking. That is the reason why peopl"
who constantly cycle SLOUGH when walking.

ALL-DAY CHRISTMAS SHOOT
Omaha SpOrtsmen Expect to Have M
Enjoyable Holiday Contest-GOssip
OF Kansas City-Omuhn shoot.

Omaha sportsmen will celebrate Christ
mas in the usual manner customary to Holt
days, With an all-day shoot On the gun
club grounds across the river. There will
be live birds and targets and the shoot will
be conducted on the sweepstakes plan. The
event OF the day will be a
twenty live-bird handicap, sweep
stakes governing. This will be the
first shoot of any Importance held for
some weeks and it is anticipated that the
event will be an enjoyable and exciting
one and many participants are expected.
The entrance fee for the twenty-bird handi-
cap on Christmas day will be So and with
the number of entries now promised the
successful ones who carry off the winning
purses will be substantially rewarded.
c.. H.. Curtis, manager OF the shooting
grounds, announces that they will be open
today as well as tomorrow. There will be
a fifteen bird handicap today. with an en-
trance fee OF 81.
The date for the return shoot in the
inter-city contest between Omaha and Kan
sas City has not been fixed. 1t Is expected
that it will be held on the shooting grounds
Of the Omaha Gun club between January 20
and 30. These dates will he selected, pro-
vided they are satisfactory 10 the visiting
shooters from the city on the Kaw.
Practically the same cams which con-
tested for supremacy in the shoot held in
Kansas City will meet when the second
match occurs. There viii be ten men on
either team, and each man will shoot at
fifty live birds. The Omaha shoot promises
to be even moro interesting and a closer
contest than the first one. The Kansas
City men are bound - retrieve them
selves and are practicing with great dill
gence, The Omaha shooters are Just as
DESTROYS Of retaining the honors they
gained. They. too, are spending all their
spare time in practice. Whether the omaha
team wins or Loses the event will be an i'm

Bicycle experts have been trying to tnd
out WHY a man can ride a mile on the
straight faster than on the curved track
In riding on a straight, level path the nj
cvclist moves his own weight and that OF
his wheel in opposition to certain resistance,
saw resistance of the air, friction OF driving
mechanism and resistance due to the tire
and friction OF bearings. The amount OF air
resistance depends mostly upon the size OF
the rider and the speed of the riding. The
friction of the driving mechanism depends
principally, if not directly, upon the speed.
The amount of the third item depends upon
the weight Of the rider plus the weight OF
the bicycle.
On a curved track another factor is intro
duced-namely, centrifugal force. This force
tends to throw the rider outward, a tend
sncy which he meets by leaning inward.
Whether the curves Of the track are banked
or not-they usually are-the centrifugal
force increases .he pressure of the wheel
upon the track. In effect, the weight OF the
rider and bicycle is increased. and therefore
the friction on the bearings and the tire re-
~sistance are also increased. 1t is Calculated
that the extra effort involved in riding a
curve whose radius is 100 feet at a two
minute gait is the same as carrying 2o.4
hounds extra weight over the same distance.
1t is also probable that there are other con-
siderations to be taken into account in these
calculations, not the least important of
which may be nervousness about aking
curves at high speed.

Spike Sullivan was surprised at the
game fight which Jim Popp, the Canadian
lightweight, put up against him in their
go at Buffalo Monday night. Both men
were shifty and extremely clever and in the
first rounds Popp was even faster than the
promising lightweight of Hibernian extrac-
tion. The Canadian was unable to keep it
up, however, and in the sixth round Spike"
sent him to the floor with a left on the jaw
and a right swing to the stomach. Popp
was by no means bewildered. . He lay on
the floor, protesting that he had been fouled,
hut the referee thought otherwise and
counted him out, adding another victory to
Sullivan's score.

that Of being a part Of the lamp. No longer
need the wheelman be caught with a lamp
bracket, as had previously been the case.
When the bracket was attached the lamp
went with 1t, and when II was taken of
the machine was freed Of the bracket also.
The idea at once proved itself to lie a
winner, and the example Of the pioneer
concern was soon adopted by nearly all
American lampmakers. 1t almost gave the
death blow to the making OF lamp brackets,
which had previously been a nourishing bu l.
ness. The idea Of getting a lamp and
bracket for the price OF the former alone
appealed to the thrifty rider, and he was
satisfied. The bicycle maker was relieved
OF the task Of supplying lamp brackets with
his machines. aud he had no cause OF COM
plant. The lamp bracket makers, who were
usually lampmakcrs as we'll, were compelled
to make the two articles for one price, but
as their trade was largely increased by the
driving out Of English lamps they were
compensated.

Both chain and chainless models Of the
1900 wheels are on exhibition in eastern
cities. The most important fact noticeable
is that there is much difference in weight
between the chainless model and that of the
current year. The new machine is about
21a pounds lighter. The main frame tub
ing is rs inches in diameter, which is a re-
duction of an eighth of an inch. The handle
bar binder is of the internal eXpander type,
but the seat post fastening is devised with a
view to securing the advantages of the bolt
principle with these of the wedge and ex-
pander devices as we'll, a slight pressure
upon the wrench being sufficient to secure
the post so that 1t Is immovable. The box
fork crown of last year has given way to a
single-plate one made from a drop forging,
This fork crown admits OF a closer forward
construction that increases the trim appear

The hubs express a new idea. Channels for
receiving the spokes are made tangentially
in the outer portion Of the hub, each groove
widening at one end into a spherical recess
for receiving the spokes, which are made
with a small ball at the extremity, beyond
which projects a little curved pin. The
mechanism of the chainless has been inn

sleeve for carrying the forty-toothed driving
gear has been enlarged and modified, so that
the gear itself, with the ball, is in a form
much better adapted to symmetrical temper
ing. The axis of the sleeve has been made
accurately perpendicular to the plane OF the
disk that receives the gear and absolute
uniformity in the running is assured. The
adjustment of the pinions backward and for
ward on the gear shaft has been provided
for in connection with the crank bracket
and rear hub adjustment, so that each pair
of gears working together may be separated
or set into closer contact without difficulty.
| Any rider who will spend time enough to see
the mechanism of the new chainless dis
membered and replaced, and listen to the
man who does it, should thereafter be able
to keep his wheel in perfect adjustment Inc

But few local hunters have been out after
game during the past week. 1t is ex-
pccted, however, that all who possibly can
will take a trip into the country during the
coming week, as it marks the closing OF
the season. After January / there VIII be
no shooting except at rabbits until after
the middle Of March, when the spring duck
season begins. With Omaha sportsmen rab-
bit hunting has never become much Of a
fad. In many of the smaller towns OF the
state, however, the hunters derive more
genuine sport out OF rabbit chasing than
any other class Of hunting. There are
many packs Of hounds and several coursing
clubs are always started up with active
interest when the neet-footed jack rabbit
begins to dart over the p~rairies.

host with it's abundance OF game of all de-
scriptions. During their trip they bagged

bits and game Of other kinds.

II is interesting to contemplate the arena
whence the next championship heavyweight
battle will take place. Especially is this
true when it is considered that it is more
than possible that the contest between
Jeffries and Corbett will come off on
French soil. Brady. Jeffries' manager, has
himself suggested the probability that the
fight will take place in gay Paris. French
capitalists are eagerly fostering this plan
and are reported to have offered fabulous
sums in order to have the event pulled of
in the Partisan metropolis. The experiment
Of holding the battle for the worlds cham
pionship on Gallo soil will largely depend
upon the success of the Paris exposition,
which will be in progress during the time
when the battle is now presumed to a
place. II the crowds are large and the indi-
cations favorable that the contest would
prove a greater financial attraction in the
French metropolis than in America, the
scene of the pugilistic encounter will un-
doubtedly be transferred across the pond.
