the people of this Union,-that the
Americans are not really a self
governing people, because, as in
the republics of history, only a

Manager Keith predicts that these three
cities will be chosen, and is jubilant over the
splendid circuit which would be completed
by their entry into the league. He will go
to Des Moines prepared to give glowing ac-
counts of the prospects in Omaha for the
local club. Base ball enthusiasm here was
never more marked at this season of the
year than now and Manager Keith has re-
ceived remarkable encouragement in his eff
forts to once more establish professional ball
here. He is in correspondence with Il large
number OF first rate ball players who are
anxious to secure a place in the Omaha
team and will be able to make most desir-
able selections for the vacant places on the
team. The work of organization on a perma-
nent basis will be started as soon as the
meeting at Des Moines is over and the
league is formally launched with all its rig
ging in place.
1t has been definitely decided that the ball
grounds will be at Thirteenth and Vinton
streets, and when the weather will permit
grading will be started. Already plans for
the grandstand have been drawn and other

I0WA'S ATHLETIC AFFAIRS
Dual Field Meet Between state Uni
versailles of Iowa and South
Dnkota HcinR Talked Tn.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Feb. S.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: A dual field
meet between the State Universities of Iowa
and South Dakota, to be held the middle of
May in Sioux City, is being talked Of and
will probably be held. Special trains will
be run from Vermilion and Iowa City, and
hundreds of rooters from both schools will
make their presence known. This will be
the first athletic meet Iowa has ever had
with a school outside of the state.
Iowa is on probation, as it were, in
athletics. Last spring it won first place
in the state athletic field meet at Des Moines,
and in the fall made the greatest record in
foot ball ever known anywhere. But other
universities look upon Iowa's success as
transitory and are not willing to believe it
was the result of hard work, training and
merit. To prove that it is justly entitled to
its place as western athletic champion, Iowa
is already preparing for this years coutests
on track and field. DR.. A. A.. Knife, the
famous coach, will stay with Iowa this year,
in spite of the flattering offer made him to
become athletic director of the University
Of Minnesota, with a full professorship on
the faculty.
George w. Egan, president OF the Uni
versity of Iowa Athletic union, has been
elected president of the State Athletic as
ISOLATION of Iowa college.
w. II. Bremner has been reelected Iowa's
representative to the State Athletic associa-
ton. Mr.. Bremner is a graduate of the
university, is a lawyer and lives in Des
Moines.
Fred c. McCutchen has been reelected
| general manager OF all university athletic
teams. The office has been created recently
and pays a salary.
DR.. A. A. Knife, one of the best known
coaches in the country, will continue as
athletic director and will coach all athletic
teams and train all contestants for track
events in the state field meet.
The medals won by the University Of Iowa
in the state field meet last May have finally
reached Iowa City. They are in the hands
of John G. Griffith, captain of the 1900
basket ball and foot ball teams, and will
soon be given to the winners Of the several
| events. j. f. CAMPBELL.

Tho third game found Lcntz in excellent
form and he bowled beautifully. Ten
straight scores he made and come OF these
were accomplished on extremely diGicult
bowls, but each time all the pins but one
we're deftly knocked down. Lentz con-
tinued into the next game and added eight
more scores to the first ten, making a record
Of eighteen straight scores at ninepins.
During this exhibition Lentz began his
clever work on the seventh bowl in the
second game. lie scored four straight from
this point in this game, missed one in
bowling off the tie and on the second at
tempt scored another. Then followed the
marvellous exhibition when he MADE eighteen
straight. Computing from the score made
on bowling off the tie with his opponent he
scored nineteen straight and, figuring from
the seventh bowl in the second game
through the second bowl in the fifth game,
he scored twenty-five out of twenty eight

CURRIERS' NEED INDOOR RINK
Facilities Are Demanded So that the
Game May he Played by
Electric Light.

Curling will never reach the popularity
we hope for it, remarked p. l.. Forgan. a
veteran curler, yesterday, until we have
an indoor ring lighted by electricity so that
players can indulge in the sport without
leaving their business in the afternoon. I'm
der proper surroundings it is remarkable
what interest is taken in the game. For eX-
ample, at the Canadian tournament about to
be held, 1000 players will be in attendance
and $50, 900 distributed in prizes. The sport
has assumed a national character in that
province, where the natural advantages are
really no more favorable than in Omaha.
IF a regulation rink were constructed the
players would be relieved of all annoyance
in the way of rough or cracked ice. The
frost is so much more intense in America
than in Scotland that the ice is often
cracked or warped, making it unsatisfac-
TORY for curling purposes. On a manu-
featured rink it is only necessary to have
the ice a quarter of an inch in depth, and
it is easy to flood the surface anew in case
it is not smooth. The bottom of the flooded
space is usually of clay rolled and tamped
until it is perfectly hard and level. Several
Kinks are usually built in one Enclosure and
place is well heated and hot drinks are
often served in the intervals.
"Of course, if we had an indoor rink, +"
concluded Mr.. Forgan with a true curriers'
contempt for the cold, 1--WE would have to
give up the pleasure of being in the open in
the midst of an artistic landscape such as
we have at Hanscom park"
"For my part returned a less hardened
sportsman, Il could get along without the
landscape if a good hard coal burner was
on duty in its place"

the rolls at present bearing only about 100
names. A new interest has been recently
taken in the association by pupils and teach
ers alike and it is expected to become a
much more important part of the school
life. The constitution will be changed in
several respects and the dues will be de-
creased, II is probable that no change viii
be made in the officers, who are Percy
Powell, manager, and Earl Painter, s ere
tary and treasurer, AS soon as the re-
organization is effected every effort will be
directed toward preparing a worthy track
team to represent Omaha at the State
lnter-scholastic meet in June.
The contemplated run planned by the
Cross-Country club for Friday was inter
fercd with by the blizzard. About forty
athletes had promised to be In attendance
and the interruption was a serious disap-
pointment to the promoters. The runs will
be resumed on Wednesday afternoons and
Saturday evenings when the weather per-

PALAvER OF THE PUGILlS!S
Central Figures in the World OF
Fighters Have Matches Ar
ranged for Near Future.

While Tom Sharkey is making extensive
preparations for his fight next Tuesday night
with Joe Goddard he has not for a moment
lost his intense desire for a return match
with Champion JefGries. 1t begins TO look
now, too, as though a return engagement
between the two central figures in heavy
weight circles will be arranged, and such
being the case Sharkey has any number
of friends who are ready to stake their all
upon his success. Tom O'Rourke. manager
for Sharkey, has deposited $1,000 for q
match with Jeffries. This came about as
the result of u declaration made by Jeffries'
manager, w. A. Brady, who said that if
Sharkey was so anxious for a return match
with Jeffries he would do well to afford
some substantial proof OF his sincerity. The
81, 600 deposit is certainly sufficient evidence
OF good faith and it is now up to Brady.
Sporting enthusiasts will be disappointed
if Brady does not cover the forfeit and
enter into negotiations for another match
between Jeffries and Sharkey. Ordinarily,
sporting men are not inclined to Counte-
nance the demands OF a defeated ~pugilist for
a return fight. In the case of Jeffries and
Sharkey, however, the conditions are eXcep-
tional. Sharkey was in the fight for the
whole twenty-five rounds, and the state
ments that ne was game TO the last are
moro than substantiated by the reproduction
OF pictures of the fight given at a local play
house last week. The awarding OF the de-
cision to Jeffries raised a great rumpus, and
yet, in all fairness, it is but right to credit
Referee Siler with making the decision he
believed warranted by the fight. II Sharkey
had been disposed of in a few rounds the
conditions would be entirely different. His
rTItIpgtg for another match would we'll ha
considered lightly. Under the circum-

Jeffries and Corhett are in training for
their forthcoming fray. which will be held in
san Francisco March 10. The important
preliCninaries relative to the place of the
fight were arranged last week and the
Golden Gate city was selected. Interest
from now on until tho fight comes off will
center in the training operations of the
two fighters. Jeffries is at Hot Springs,
Ark, and has with him as his principal
trainer Tommy Ryan, the pugilist who was
his right hand bower when he was prepar-
ing for the match with Sharkey. Recently
Jefries was thoroughly examined by n
physician and the medical man, as well as
the champion, is confident that his arm, the
tendons Of which were hurt while practicing
with a medicine ball before his contest with
Sharkey, will be as strong as 1t ever was by
the time Jeffries gets through his course of
baths and light training.
Corbetts training quarters are in New
Jersey and he is studiously d~evoting his at
tention to preparations for his big fight. The
eX-champion is said to be perfecting a de-
fcnse that will stop the terrible right-hand
body blows OF Jeffries that almost put
Sharkey out of the game. He does not
think that Jeffries can land on him
effectively, but the ex-champion is develop
ing his left forearm to use as a block in
case CT an emergency.

stances, however. Jeffries can preserve his
honors untarnished only by agreeing to meet
Sharkey again.
Sharkey's friends will await with con-
siderable interest the showing he may make
in his fight with Joe Goddard. The sailor
is now in training near Philadelphia, and
while preparing for the Goddard fray is
also getting himself into condition for his
match with Choynski, which is scheduled to
come off March g.. Sharkey ought to easily
dispose Of Goddard, although he admits he
is going UP against a dangerous man, one
whom he appreciates he must deal with
carefully.

Gently which entities him to consideration
in the bowling world at large. He started

fishing a record and in the first game played
made but one score. In the second game
he tied his opponent on six scores and on
the second attempt to settle the tie he

OMAHA LOSESAT BASKET BALL
First Contest with University of Ne
brnsln Results I'm Decisive Vie
tory FOR Lincoln Team.

The basket ball team of the Young Mems
Christian association met defeat at Lincoln
on February 8 by the score of 26 to IA. "The
university boys won the game on its merits, A"
remarked Physical Director Barnes, as the
Omaha delegation of fifty drew into the
depot on the midnight special. I'VE were in
the game, however, to a noticeable extent,
and have every intention of retrieving our
selves when the Lincoln team comes to
Omaha on Washington's birthday. There are
several reasons why the Omaha team did
not make a better showing, all of which we
were aware of, however, before we entered
the game. The university armcry where
the game took place Is much larger than
the local gymnasium and the Omaha men
were naturally at a disadvantage, being I'M
accustomed to the distances. The nets aud
baskets, also, were not OF the regulation
size, The floor was as smooth as glass and
the Omaha men had considerable difficulty in
keeping their footing"
The team which represented the Young
Mems Christian association was as follows:
Monahan and Mccarthy, guards; Linquist
and StillsoD, forwards; Moore. center.
An interesting game took place in the
gymnasium last night between class teams
and the game IS holding its own as the
prevailing indoor winter sport.

AMONG THE CHESS PLAYERS
Several Important Matches Soon to
he Decidcd-Game of Cham
piOn Now in Nebraska.

The cable match for the Sir George
Newnes tlophy is to take place in March.
The Brooklyn Chess club has the manage
ment of the contest and selects the players.
1t is not unlikely that the winning team of
last year will be asked to do battle. The
college cable team match is to take place
in April. Two players from Harvard, two
from Columbia and one each from Yale and
Princeton will make up the team. This is
quite right if the contest is merely between
Cambridge and oxford against Columbia,
Harvard, Princeton and Yale. Philadelphia
players feel, however, that if the match is be-
tween English and American universities,
then the University Of Pennsylvania ought
to bd represented, especially since X. b.
Griffith is the strongest college player in
the country and deserves table No. l on the
coming cable match. Grifith's home is in
Council Bluffs and he is well known in this
city.

One of the interesting fights of the present
month is booked for the 2Sd, when Joe
Choynski and Joe Walcott will meet before
the Broadway Athletic club. The latter has
bit off a pretty big chunk from a pugilistic
astronomical standpoint in his next fight
II he should win it will be one of the big
surprises of the season.
Choynski is by all odds the ~favorite in
this contest. 1t is a trifle strange, but true
nevertheless, that McCoy's fiasco with
Choynski in which the Californian was UNI
doubtedly robbed of a justly earned decision.
has increased the popularity of the defeated
pugilist in about the same ratio as it has
weaned McCoy's friends away from him. In
the Walcott fight Choynski vii have the ad-
vantage of weight and height. but. neverthe-
less, it is expected by WaICott's friends that
he will put up a game fight. The big Cali
fornian is still anxious for another chance
at Mccoy, and if the Kid persists in his
refusal on such p~reteXts as retirement from
the ring his championship honors will be
full Of emptiness.
