NOTES OF THE CRICKETERS
Denver Crfcketers Will he Here To-
morrow for Two Games with
the Local Cricket Club.

Preparatory to their great tournament in
Manitoba the local cricketers will meet the
Colorado players on Monday and Tuesday of
this week Great interest is being evinced
in the contests, which will commence on the
nrst day at l p. M. and on the Fourth at
1880 a. IN. Each day stumps will be drawn
at $50. great crowd of women and their
friends is expected and those who are
anxious to see how cricket is played should
not miss this opportunity of witnessing
what promises to be splendid all-round
exhibition of the game that enthralls thou
sands in different parts of the world.
The team to do duty for the Omaha club
will not differ materially on either day and
with good fielding to back up their bowling
talent the homesters should convince the
men from Denver that cricket talent is not
confined to the mountains Of Colorado.
With such renowned exponents OF the
game as Stone and Fairbanks to lead them
the mountaineers expect to return victori-
Gus and if they are to be disappointed the
locals will have to put forward their best
exertions.
Captains Sims and Lennon will probably
take up the attack for the home side, with
the brothers, Vaughan and Bate, to fall
back upon in case Of need While the team
as whole fields well upon occasion, the
throwing in is by no means up to the mark.
Some OF the players might get pointers from
Tuffield and Neale in this respect 1t should
be remembered. too that backing up is a
necessary accompaniment to good fielding.
Our batting strength should be able to
negotiate" the bowling of our opponents,
who are credited with being rather weak in
this respect
The grounds are looking better than at
any time since the club took possession of
them and If the mating is put down with
due care the wicket should give no assist
ance to the bowlers.

MEN OF THE ROD AND GUN
Local Fish Protection Association Is
Doing Good Work in stopping
SEEMING at Cut on Lake.

The Fish Protective Association of Doug
las County has been doing excellent service
during the past year, and has succeeded in
letting the marauders who have been for
years seinng Cut Off lake know that they
mean business and intend to prosecute all
offenders TO the fullest extent OF the law.
The association Is composed OF lovers OF
sport CT all classes in Omaha, but the
ones who have been the most active in
running to ground these offenders are some
of the county and city officials and some
OF the clerks in their offices. Before the
association began its work wagon loads
were caught almost nightly with both
trammel and seines.
Last summer after a hard fight Police
Officers Drummy and Sullivan arrested
Brunner and Brown in the act of illegal
fishing They were found guilty in justice
court, bound over to the district court, and
before a jury were again convicted. Since
the motion for a new trial and while await
ing sentence before Judge Baker, Brunner
was arrested again for the same thing He
was tried before County Judge Baxter and
over 100 fish were brought into court as
evidence. among which were nine carp.
State Fish Commissioner Lew May testified
that the state had planted carp in Cut OFF
lake, Drummer was found guilty and fined
$40 for each FISH. This case was appealed
and will come to trial next term.
Police Officers Dan Baldwin, Keysor aud
Sullivan, together with several deputy
sherffs, recently arrested Anderson Nor
gard and Nelson, and captured 300 feet OF
tramme net. The officers OF the assoei-
alton, assisted by the police and
by the sheriff's men, have already
captured $500 feet OF nets Of different
kinds. These nets have been taken at the
lake and at several houses where they were
known to be kept. The officers are still
looking for others, and will soon make a
grand scoop. One party from the First
ward who makes a business OF seining, Is
also known. The officers have had their
eyes on him for some time. He has a
twelye-foot seine, 300 yards long, TO which
he puts team OF horses on each end when
he makes a haul.
There are many good fish in Cut OF lake
There are carp, sunfish, crappies and black
bass. all the way from a half FOUNDER
TO a four-pounder
The local association is doing good work
Omaha daily bee., 1899-07-02

In a western farm journal we recently
noted the following inquiry: What type Of
horse is the most profitable for the farmer
to breed?" A column and a half was
utilized by the editor in making his reply
which. being boiled down, conveyed the in
formation that a common purpose animal
was better adapted to the needs Of western
farmers Upon showing the article to
Baseomb, that worthy friend OF the thirsty
farmer" said: For the average western
farmer especially that branch of the family
that insists upon propagating the $40 plug

produce"

they are decidedly disappointing. They are
not OF championship caiber and do not rank
as high in the race as their form entities
them to. st. Louisans have given up all
hopes OF the pennant this year and will be
satisfied IL the Tebeauites finish a good
third. Certainly this is not asking too much
of team that experts in the east and west
picked TO be one-two at the close of the
race.
The Western association has collapsed again
and 1t is very doubtful IL it will revive for
several seasons. The Quincy club was not
required to put up the $500 guarantee which
was exacted of the other members and II
was the first to drop out. The transfer Of
that team to Dubuque did not improve its
earning capacity and no other city would
undertake its support, An attempt to CON
tinue the circuit with four clubs did not
meet with success and the dissolution OF the
association followed. The fell is too good
to be abandoned and in time a league will
be formed and conducted in that territory
on business principles. Ex-Presdent Hickey
was saddled with the responsibility OF the
failure Of the association in 1897 and also in
1898. President Browne, his successor and
other Rockford writers who condemned
Hickey now realize that however able and
Jealous the chief executive Of a minor league
may be his administration depends for its
success upon the strength OF each Of the
clubs and the good faith and pluck OF the
men behind them.

BRIEF BASE BALL GOSSIP
short Comments on Players Who Are
known to the Local Fol-
lowers of the Game.

Danmann has been farmed by Cinci. back
to Indianapolis.
The Harvard base ball nine defeated Yale
on Monday, virtually winning in the first
inning The result makes a third game
necessary to decide the championship.
Pittsburg made it three straight with
Brooklyn, and the Superbas are wondering
where they are at. They have quite lead
yet and can afford to lose few games.
The ST. Louis cfubs pitchers seem to be
out of gear, but all the pitchers seem to
catch it this year at some time or another.
The best of them are apt to be knocked out
of the box.
The Stemwinders OF Plum Creek and the
Hometwisters of Leslie crossed bats for the
championship of north Nebraska last Sun
day The score stood 35 to % in favor OF
the Stenwinders.
Catcher McAuley of Buffalo has been sus
pended by Proprietor Franklin He is
charged with tipping off the Bisons' oppo-
nents while at bat and thus aiding them in
realizing what kind OF a ball was coming.
Base ball has been almost featureless, al
though the league has been evening up, as
Brooklyn lost three straight to Plttsburg
and three cut of four TO Chicago, while other
teams OF the lower division have been win
ming.
Metz Bros base ball nine will play this
afternoon at old Fort Omaha. Mogy has
made arrangements to furnish seats and
score cards to the patrons OF the game and
as no admission is charged the parade
grounds are packed each Sunday afternoon.
If the Superbas don't strike a slump pretty
soon they'll secure so great a lead that the
race will lose interest so far as first place is
concerned,
The Omaha Brewing association base ball
team will play Paxton & Gallagher's Yukon
Girls this afternoon at the old Nonpareil
park, Fifteenth and Vinton. As the Sunday
crowds are always large and considerable
money is taken in at the gate Manager
Keith, with his usual thoughtfulness, will
turn part of the receipts over to the Ruane
fund. Manager Keith, it will be remembered
gave the receipts OF the Orginal-Tecumseh
series over to the Herman cyclone fund.
Not one OF the champions ever takes
doze during a game. Hustling Mr. Tenney
will allow Of no such nonsense, says a writer
in the New York Evening Journal. In the
lead or trailing, Tenney is continually at his
fellows with encouraging shouts and appli-
cations Of verbal ginger That is why the
Bostons pull so many games out OF the fire.

Mitchell is also laying up for himself treas

Mitchell is said to be worth about 5000 600
which he has saved from his ring eXper-
fences, and it's about time that we should
send some attraction to England that could
bring back little OF their gold. as 1t has

II all the reports that come to us about
Kid Lavigne are true the prospect of his
retaining his title when he fights Frank
Erne al Buffalo next Monday is not par
ti2ularly bright. He had a Lesson i'm the
evils Of neglect of training the last time he
fought Erne, and it was thought that he
would not again risk his reputation in the
! same manner. but It begins to appear that
he has not carefully trained for his coming
fight and even IL he has il will not be sur
prsing il Erne succeeds TO the champion
ship. The ambitious young man from Buffalo
has not overlooked anything in the training
line. He realizes the fact that condition
counts for everything. and he told some
writer's not later than a week ago that he
was more confident than ever that he could
whip Lavigne, and especially so since his
experience with such hard propositions as
"Dal'' Hawkins and George McFadden The
fight will take place in the arena at Cheekto-
wayo under the auspices of the Hawthorne
Athletic club of Buffalo. This huge arena
was erected about year ago for the Cor
hett-McCoy fight, which fell through on ac-
count CT disagreement between the club
and the local authorities. This trouble has
since been bridged over and every assur-
ance is made that the fight will take place
without Interference.
| Fitzsimmons' attitude since his fight with
Jenries still merits the admiration OF every
lover OF true sport He has offered no ex-
cuses for his defeat, and has said nothing
derogatory concerning the man who lowered
his colors, but on the contrary has lauded
/ his pugilstic prowess to the skies; has pre-
dicted for him successful career and in
every way has conducted himself in a digni-
| lied and decent manner. He firmly refused
to be the recipient of any favons from JEFF
| fries VIXEN the latter offered 10 spar for his
benefit, intimating that he was in no need of
FUNDS. He doubtless has in mind another
match and wants to meet his opponent in a
| lighting spirit, untempered by the feeling OF
! having been the recipient of any favors at
his hands Fitz's next fight will probably be
with kid Mccoy, and the Colorado
