BANANAS FROM

growing of bananas. and who is al

any progress.
Atr. Peck said yesterday: ''We de-

OF the plants. They We're delayed on

was that when they came to hand they

THAT ROW AT NEBRASKA CITY
billy Rhode Gives His version
of the Frce-for-An that
Resulted.

Ia would appear that Eddie Robinson
found a great many things besides a prize
fight at Nebraska City last Wednesday
night. when he took his welterweight, Billy
Rhodes, down there to meet Paddy Maggie
Of Canada in a twenty-round bout. Anyway,
Rhodes wasn't the only man who came
back with marks on him, and he didn't get
his in the affair with Maggie. The prize
fight was rather slow. as far as 1t went,
but the free-for-all fight that followed was
decidedly interesting, and Billy's own de-
scription Of it is best. Said he:
well, they made me fight clean break,
which meant no hitting In clinches. From
the start Maggie hit in clinches all the
time, and the referee refused to notice 1t.
That didn't please me much, but in spite
Of ii l was getting the best Of the go. l
had Maggie down and out in the second
round, but the referee refused to count ten,
giving Maggie time to get up. So l saw the
game was all against me, and | knew then
that Maggie could hit me in clinches all
he wished and IL l hit him once in a clinch
the fight would be given to him.
$50 l was careful for a while. I could
only take one punch at him at a time, for
he would always cllnch then, and that
meant a clean break, which gave him an
opportunity " EtNONtI hlll9tiA u L htpN
on with those single punches till in the
fourth round he Rugged me all the time
and hit in clinches. Finally / got dis
gusted at the unfairness and let loose a
couple in a clinch. The referee gave Maggie
the hght at once. l knew he would. but
Just for luck took a shot at the referee
anyway. I stunned him and he fell into
the ropes and bounced back onto me. He
hung on me and his teeth cut a hole in my
head when he hit me.
But just about then there was one grand
mixup, and l didn't have any time to pay
attention to a stunned referee. Nagle's
seconds we're on me like a flash, and then
mine came in, Clarence English and Red
Rooney and Eddie Robinson and young
Clayton, the wrestler.
Everybody swung right and left and
English and Robinson laid out a couple
of fellows and then we swayed toVLrd the
side of the ring and everybody fell through
the ropes. Down on the floor it began
again, and the whole crowd jumped into it.
| We would have had q bad time IL it hadn't
been for Maggie himself and one Of his
seconds, Frank Mayo. Mayo Is the big
man who once stayed with Fitzsimmons two
rounds and who used to fight all corners
here at the Trocadero two winters ago
He bluffed the crowd down and they got
us out finally. Maggie was a p-eacemaker
too.
Il got slammed up a good deal in the
free-for-all, but l wasn't touched once in
the fight. Nagle is clever, but has no force
at all behind his blows. l brought home 6

a black eye. English wasn't hurt. Neither
was Robinson. But there was some swift

OMAHA AND The HORSE SHOW
F. A, Nash Of the Board of Governors Tells
What the Affair Means.

Make n Proper
Display.

A meeting Of some 200 horsemen and
horse lovers and horse owners Of Omaha,
South Omaha and Council Bluffs will be
called this week for the purpose Of COM
pleting the permanent organization Of an
Omaha Horse Show association. This will
follow naturally upon the heels Of the ad-
mission OF Omaha to the American Horse
Show Circuit association at the meeting Of
that body in Kansas City last Thursday. F..
a. Nash Of Omaha, who has been prominent
in the movement for horses here, was
elected one Of the board OF governors and
will be active in the formation of the local
organization. He is greatly pleased with
the prospect for horses in this city and is
certain that the horse show will be a sue
cess here. Said he:
This will mark an era for Omaha horses.
One could hardly say that heretofore this
has been a good horse town, but It is very
true that the town is full of horsey people.
And there are many more in South Omaha
and in Council Bluffs. We will interest
men from all three cities in this project.
course when it comes to fancy horses
IT takes a good deal Of money to crafty
that taste. Omaha has not been much Of
a center for that class OF animals, but IL
has taken a great squirt in that direction
just recently. Within the last sixty days
no less than eight very fine animals have
been brought to town and more are ordered.
"a. c. Smith has a new pair, Hal McCord
has a team and a new runabout single
horse. Ed Cudahy has a new pair and Tom
Byrne has a new single driver. Then Guy
c. Barton has just authorized the purchase
of a very high grade new team for himself.

Athletics ut Bellevue.

Joseph A. Pipal, recently coach OF the
Doane college foot ball team and formerly
prominent in the athletics OF Beloit col

him with great enthusiasm.

Nor can the complaining magnates set up
that they we're not fairly represented at the
Cincinnati meeting, for Messrs. Hart. Herr
mann, Robson and Pulliam are certainly
representative members Of the National
league and have never been accused Of lack
OF loyalty to its interests. That they may
have f~oregone some OF the points on which
their colleagues insisted. is true, but they
surrendered nothing that was not already
lost. and In return they won what will in
time prove a priceless asset for the Ma
tional-stability in the business. New
York, Boston and Philadelphia National
league clubs no longer control the destiny
OF the base ball world, and while II is hard
TO admit that the scepter has passed. the
late czars Of the diamond might as we'll
wake up and admit what has been apparent
to the public for a long time-that their day
has passed.
On the rubber legs" the blow will fall
hardest. Magnates have at last com TO
the view expressed by The Bee on former
occasions, that a contract-jumper is not
worth quarreling over, and so assignments
Of players are made according to the last
legal contract signed by them. Under this
ruling Sam Crawford will go to Detroit,
Tommy Leach will stay in Pittsburg, big
Ed" Delehanty will play with Washington,
Pitcher Donovan will be with Detroit again,
George Davis will stay with the Chicago
Americans and Conroy will go to the New
York American club. And these versatile
gentlemen, who have each signed two or
more contracts and accepted advance money
from as many clubs, will play on the teams
to which they are assigned. or they will not
play at all. II no other good could come
out Of the agreement, this one feature is Of
sufficient Importance to render the Cincin-
natl conference most memorable in base
ball history.

In track athletics there viii likely be

The university will lose one valuable man
in the shape of States, who has always gone
the mile we'll enough to distance most OF

events. He will enter In more contests than

ATHLETICS AT THE UNIVERSITY
Every Department., from Basket Bali
to Base Ball, is Full of
Active Life.

Basket ball has had a boom at the Uni-
versity Of Nebraska this week. What with
the game against the Haskell Indian team
in the armory last night, and the daily
practice that has led up to the event, this
feature of the college athletics has been
all in all with the scarlet and cream CO.
horts since Monday.
Having put down the redskins on the
base ball field and foot ball gridiron, alike,
1t was the eager hope Of the Nebraskans
to complete the series with a victory at the
basket game. But the team was handi-
capped by a loss Of old men and entire new
training had to be begun this season. DR.,
Clapp has been an able coach in the game
and his well-developed trick plays are &C
countable for the showing made by his
team. The hope Of the men at Lincoln
lay in the team work. Hewitt, the cap
tain, is a giant and a good man at center.
He is fast and covers the floor we'll. Ell
lott, as forward at Cortelyou's old place,
has made good and is fully equal to his
famous predecessor. He is the best goal
thrower on the team. Ferguson, the other
forward, is very tall and wiry and his
height helps him in many a tight pinch.
Hiltner. manager Of the team, plays at
guard and covers his man in great shape,
" ~ az NhN buoluI 10 utNClOplnS
we'll for a new man. Benedict, the famous
foot ball kicker. shifts from guard to CEN
ter and goes in with his gridiron spirit.
In the foot ball world the latest news is
that Manager Buckner has scheduled a
game with Knox college to be played al
Lincoln on November Z. This is one OF
the strongest teams that the Cornhuskers
met last season on home grounds, being
able to win only by seven points.
The Minnesota game is still unsettled
Negotiations are pending. but there is nc
assurance that Nebraska will be given 8
chance at the Gophers again next fall. The
northeners have put the Cornhuskers or
the list Of "heavies' and will no longer
play them as a practice game during the
fore part OF the season. They Furthermore
refuse to take on the Nebraskans within
a week OF any other heavy game ant
there's the rub in arranging the date.
Manager Buckner, who was elected Il
the position only two weeks ago, is nov
into the work as II he had done It all hi!
life. He did not seek the place and hest
tated about accepting 1t when the facult,
members of the athletic board hunted hin
up and made the offer. Others we're candi
dates, but Buckner was known to hav,
ability and he is doubtless a good selection
for the place.

Base ball is a little up in the air. SO far
there is nothing doing, though there ought
to be cage work, and the prospects are that
there will be very few old men back on the
diamond. Murray Townsend, the captain.
is now at home, but will be back at the
beginning of the second semester. Sticks"
DePutron will not be back, as reported, and
there will be a great opportunity for new
men TO get on the team. Townsend is the
only twirler in sight. except Thomson. the
Indian boy, whose arm is not in shape.
Letherby, the last years tosser, has signed
with a professional club. Manager Clark
Bell has not yet completed the schedule, but
will try for a northeastern trip.
Old Jack Best, the trainer in the gym"
is waiting for the base ball men to come
in. and thinks they ought to be getting into
condition by this time.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-01-18

As for the stories that the National
league will be permanently disrupted, little
credence should be given them. Men who
have hundreds Of thousands OF dollars in
vested in the game are likely to be bound
by reason in caring for it's administration.
Therefore, It looks like a good bet that the
National magnates Of the east will take a
common sense view Of the situation and go
to work to build up their business and try
to regain some lost ground.

Omaha Interest is Assured.

There is no doubt that the people will
be willing to show their horses. and anx-
ious to. There will be no trouble about
that. and competition will quicken from
year to year. The Inauguration of this
show as a yearly affair will be the cause
Of many good horses being bought by
Omahans.
"Our date in the circuit is September s
to IL, following the Denver show. Some
people will think 1t rather bold of me to
say that the auditorium will be finished in
time to be used for that show, but that's
just what we will do. In fact, it has been
this plan in view that has been partly re-
sponsible for the delay on the auditorium.
At the last minute it was discovered that
no provision had been made in the plans for
accommodation for a horse show or similar
affair, and we succeeded in getting some
horse lovers on the board and having the
necessary alterations in the plans made.
There can be no question about the sue
cess of the show. Horse shows are a sue
cess everywhere. Being on this strong cir
cult Of twenty-one shows we will get many
horses from abroad as well as from here, for
there will be a string OF animals following
the circuit.
THE show will do great things for Omaha.
At Kansas City the annual horse show at
tracts more people to town than any other
event of the year. One Of the days last
year they had an attendance OF 5000. There
is no horse show nearer US than Kansas
City and Chicago, so We have a great field.
Take the horse show in Chicago each
year. Think how many people go In there
just for that occasion. OF course ours will
be on a smaller scale, but it will be just as
successful. Then it is Of course a great
society affair, and that always means lots
Of business. 1t means swell new gowns and
trappings and equipment, and much money
spent generally on entertainment and other
things. count on the horse show doing a
great deal for Omaha"

Omaha shooters I'm Texas.

The nine shotgun sharks who went down
from Omaha to Ell Paso to participate in
the big mid-winter shoot there enjoyed an
extremely varied trip. A freight wreck In
New Mexico held them up a day on a side
track. but the boys were not in the least
disturbed by the misfortune and proceeded
to take advantage of 1t. They got out their
guns and left the train for a days hunt. il
