GOOD ROADS TRAIN IDEA IS REALIZED The Illinois Central's good roads train left Chicago Saturday afternoon for a three months' trip through the south. Object lessons in roadniaking are to be given en route, working northward from >.\ ju Orleans. The eighteen cars laden "with the latest improved machinery and' apparatus for the purpose "will be under the supervision of oflicials of the depart ment of agriculture. The purpose of the expedition is to illustrate to farmers and townsfolk as ■well what can be accomplished and how easily it can be done in making model modern roads. By practical work where the raw material and unskilled labor is furnished at upwards of a dozen points along the line it will be shown that the agitation for "good roads" is something more than a twentieth century theory. The benefits accruing from the improve ment are held to be obvious when the change in conditions is completed. Prof. MoiiK There. Among the officials who joined the 'missionary" expedition for good roads and accompanied the train were: W. H. Moore, president, and R. W. Richardson, secretary, of the National Good Roads association. Martin Dodge, director good roads in quiry. Charles T. Harrison, special agent of the same branch, department of agricul ture. Civil Engineer lrwin of Ottawa. The party will be joined at .New Orleans by A. W. Campbell, instructor of good roads, Dominion of Canada. Andrew Patulo, member Canadian par liament. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. W. R. Hoag. professor of civil engi neering, University of Minnesota. One of the principal features of the trip, ■which in reality begins at New Orleans, Wheelmen Want a Speedway Wheelmen are renewing the agitation for the conversion of the Lake of the Isles boulevard into a speedway. They com plain that Minneapolis is sadly lacking in respect to a speedway as compared with most large cities, and urge the necessity of having some smooth stretch of boule vard like "the Isles coutsp set aside for fast riding, where riders can scorch with out fear of interference from policemen. Blaisdell avenue from Franklin avenue ARE THE BIKE PATHS OF TOO CHEAP CONSTRUCTION? E. T. Abbott, former county surveyor, sounds a note of warning in connection ■with the present policy .of cycle path con struction in Minneapolis. There is great danger of covering too much ground, he declares, at the expense of stability of construction. At the present rate of path building it will be only two or three years, he contends, when the whole fund derived from the sale of cycle tags will be needed for repair work, leaving nothing for new paths. Paths like those built heretofore in the city will have to be practically re built every or three years, he says. The Masnoutah Kennel ilut of Chicago is preparing for a big show May 1. at the First Regiment armcry. that city. More than a thousand dogs have been entered aiieady. Read our ad on pages 8 and 9. S.

V. where several sections of streets will be improved, will be the annual convention of the National Good Roads association. President McKinley, his cabinet! officers and members of the presidential party on the proposed extensive westward trip will •be in attendance. Elaborate preparations have been made by New Orleans citizens and business men for the reception and entertainment of their distinguished guests. Lecture*) : to Be Given. It is expected that one of the greatest benefits to be derived by the people of the section of the country traversed ■will come from the educational department of the road missionaries. Lectures will be given and systems and plans adopted in other states and communities scattered throughout the country thoroughly ex plained. Thus those who desire to enlist in the local organization for good roads will be told how aid and assistance may be procured from their state and hoiue county. If the present trip proves successful, as its promoters firmly believe it will, it is said the League of American Wheelmen will send a similar train throughout the ■country, probably starting from Chicago the latter nart of June and ending at Buf falo at the Pan-American exposition. At that place the annual meet of the L. A. W. will be held. Good roads arguments will be spread about and it is expected that the wheelmen from all sections of the country will take a renewed and added interest in the movement. The train as it pulled out of the siding at Flossmooa was made up of eighteen cars. One car provided accommodation for the officials; others were for the me chanics and skilled workingmen, and the rest were either tool cars or flat cars used for the conveyance of the road-mak ing machinery, all of which was manufac aured in Chicago. Aurora and Harvey. to Twenty-sixth street has been practical ly turned over to horsemen as a speedway, and wheelmen think at least a section of the lake boulevard might be turned over to them.' They do not ask for the ex clusive use of the course, and would be satisfied if the park board would designate certain days of the week on which the popular parkway could be turned over to the fast riding fraternity. The effect shouM be to build only so much each year as can be built well. The same principle should be applied as that used in railroad building,—put the money into the original construction rather than in subsequent maintenance. Criticising the present system of path construction specifically, he says that the curb is two or three inches too low, and that not enough attention is being paid to drainage. As to the material, there should be six or eight inches of mixed day and gravel and then a surface of fine gravel. Clßlihonne Opening. The Flour City cyclists will open their new clubhouse,, which was recently de scribed in The Journal, at 601 Sec ond avenue S., Thursday evening. All cycling clubs and organizations of both cities have been invited to participate and a big wheeling jollification is antici pated. It is expected that this club is destined 10 bring about closer social re lations among wheelmen generally than has heretofore existed. The popularity of the club is'shown by the rapid increase in its membership. There are.-four large rooms on tke ground floor of the clubhouse —a parlor, a reading room, of oriental design, and a large pooL rsom. The assembly room, wherein the club will hold its councils, ha? been finished in hardwood, and is otherwise well adapted to its purpose. Second floor rooms will be used as admin istration quarters. There is a large wheel room on the ground floor. In addition there are bath rooms, dressing rooms and rooms for light exercise. The members of the reception commit tee are: Andrew Westerdahl, L. T. Lin coln and Ben Erickson. '"On the Path to Shakopee," -words by- Paul Gyllstrom; music by James Latour elle, will be sung by Miss Florence Ander son, with "Little Jlmnue" as accompanist. THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL 1. TO PLAY THIS WEEK Millers to Have Some Real Practice at Last. BEALL WANTS THE PENNANT lie's Dolne All He Can to Get a Winning Team— Ground Im provement*. If the Minneapolis team does not make a record this season it will herdly be the fault ot President A. B. Beall. He left the team the other day at Klrksvllle, Mo., and every man in the bunch was in first class condition, with not a sore muscle anywhere. Every one was full of life and ginger and if the team fails it won't be on account of lack of condition. The millers have had the most consistent training of any of the clubs in the Wes j tern league and were the only ones to go I south for spring practice. The other man agers balked on account of expense, but Mr. Beall knows that in order to get a fast winning team it must receive proper training in the spring and so he opened his pocketbook. The millers have been handicapped somewhat by lack of games with base ball teams and have been confined to '"scrub" work among themselves, but this will be remedied somewhat. Play Den .Moines and Sioux City. Next Wednesday the team will leave Kirksville and proceed to Dcs Moines, (where two games will be played with the I lowans. Saturday, Sunday and Monday a I series of practice games will be played j with "Ace" Stewart's hustlers, and on Tuesday and Wednesday Mr. Beall will show his boys in his old town, playing them against a strong local amateur nine. After a day of rest, the millers will open their season on May 3 at Kansas City. President Beall, who is in the city at present, is anxious that the new millers shall be started right and is sparing no expense. The members of the team have been supplied with handsome new uni forms and will make a fine appearance on the field. Fully $1,000 will be expended at Xicollet park and the grounds. One thing is promised without fail, and that is a non-leaking roof over the grand stand. The Team's Makeup. The catchers of the team are Jack Kleinow and Jack MeConnell; Veteran Jack Glasscock will be at first; Roy Brashear at second, Cockman at short and Lee Tannehill or Charles Ball at third; Ira Belden, Frank Congolton and Walter McCreedie are the outfielders. There are eight pitchers at Kirksville and of them Mr. Beall says: It is going to be a difficult task to pick out the five best ones, for i will limit the box men to that number. I cannot tejl yet wlii'h three will be dropped. The list includes Parvin, Kerguson, Watfsworth. Figgemeier, Carney, Swormstedt, Cates and Gilliam. All of them have loosened up like wiuners and all are in good form. I have been surprise! at the work done by Figgemeier and Carney, who are certainly not in the "lias-beeu" class, if (he showing they have made during the past three weeks is any criterion. Par vin is pitching splendidly. He Is worth move than he was iast season. I will probably keep all eight for three'weeks after the sea son opens. Then, of course, I will be obliged to drop three of them. I'e n ii a nt ('tiurice* Good. The chances for a high place in the Western League are excellent. It was acknowledged all over the line that the Beall club was the fastest and most promising in the whole Western associa tion circuit last year and had the season lasted a little longer, the pennant would have gone to Sioux City instead of Den ver. Since last year Denver has lost some stars and it is not apparent yet that their places have been filled. Something of a line will be gained in the practice games at Dcs Moines, but the millers will be handicapped as they have not played against a team all the spring, while the Dcs Moines and Omaha clubs have practically done no other training than to fight each other on the diamond. Both Beall and Glasscock are too wise to claim pennants, but it is plain to be seen that they will be very much sur prised If they do not land the millers one or two. VARSITY WAS EASY St. Paul Professional)* Toy With Them. Jimmy Ryan's professional ball play ers defeated the 'Varsity club last Satur day by the one-sided score of 19 to 0. While outclassed, the college boys played a very neat game until the sixth inning, when the whole club with the exception of Metcalf became too wobbly to do any good work. At second and short the players were particularly helpless. A few more games with the St. Paul team would be of vast benefit to the Minnesotas and would give the boys confidence in them selves and steadiness in play, as well as give them experience in many of the finer points in the national game. But four hits were made by the professionals. Freeman and Hameril being in splendid trim. THIS IS FOR LADIES The Isual Courtesies Will Be Ex tended at the Ball Park. All ladies interested in. baseball will probably be pleased to learn that last year's arrangements with regard to ladies' passes will be adopted this season. It has been found to be the most satisfactory system devised, and has been adopted in other cities. The days for the feminine contingent will, as before, be Mondays and Fridays of every week that the mill ers are home. The ladies' passes are handsome little bits of scarlet paste board in a nickle frame. A fee of $1 is charged for the general expense of issuing the passes, and the number will be lim ite* to 1.000. The passes may be secured at the office of the Minneapolis Baseball club, Room 25, Eastman block, 412 Nieol let avenue. A SPRIXTIXW CHAMPIOX Wefers Becomes a Professional Ball Player. Bernard J. Wefers, probably .he fastest sprinter that ever lived, has been signed by Manager Donoven to play with St. Louis. Wefer has never played profes sional ball, but he is an all around athlete and Donovan thinks his marvelous speed will make him a great base runner and a great fielder. Wefers is a Georgetown man, but left college three years ago. While there he played on his class team, but never made varsity. Wefers wanted to play both baseball and football, but the trainers refused, fearing it would in jure him as a sprinter. Wefers is tall and stuong. He is about 26. P'or a long time he hss been wanting to play profes sional ball. Donovan is an old friend and decided to give him a chance. He offered htm a good salary and Wefers wired he would ocme on at once. Throughout the east Wefers is known everywhere and will prove a drawing card. ( lnimed by Three Teams. Outfielder Hartman, who was generally sup posed to be a member of rue Denver team threatens to be the most talked-of man in the Western League before he finds out where he belongs, says the Denver Times Denver claims him. Toledo, in the Interstate League claims him, and he is at present playiue v.-ith Kansas City. The entire matter has been placed before President Nick Young, Hartman's history is somewhat complicated and, with three teams claiming his services Nick will have to inaugurate a board of in- quiry before he can hand down his decision. .Manager Strobel of the Toledo team did Hot pay his protection money, and Tebeau sneaked in and got llartnian. This was not uutl! Haitman had received advance money from Strobel. Tebeau probably saw that there would be some trouble doing, so lie fixti up a nice little deal, under which he traded Hurtniau to Denver and got Keilly. At first glance this looked like a neat trick on Te beau's part, bnt it turned out to be it bad one. as Reilly jumped to . the California League. Meauwhtle Hartman, laboring under the impression that he wan a grizzly, sent a hard-luck story to President Packard about being broke, and the good-natured president scut him JIOO just to keep him in good humor. Manager McKlbben. The manager of the St. Joseph team in the Western League is Byron E. MeKlbben. who started to.play professional ball in St. Joe in 181)4. With the exception of one year iv the old Western League in 1897. he has donw all his playing in the present league. Of fhis present tfcam he says: "The Wes tern League will be very fast this year and we will keep up with the pace that any of the clubs set. I have a new one or two to spring on the St. Joseph fans this year who will set the league on fire." « iiiimiiiu the Xa K . The Omaha papers are already calling their baseball team the pennant winners. Weli, the seasou is less than a fortnight away, and predicting is a thankless, if an interesting, diversion.

The Washing ton club was to deposit two. years' salary in a Washington bank to the- credit of Winnie Mercer, but has not deposilcd even a month's salary and Winnie is doing a heap of think ing. He offered to go back to New York at an advance of $6<X) but this was refused. Now he is thinking of going back anyway in spite of the large salary "promised" by the Ameri can league baseball trus:.

WEAK IN BOX AND BEHIND BAT Team Start* To-morrow on Its First Tour—Some Very Hard Game*. To-morrow the "U" baseball team will be off on its first trip. Generally speak ing the team is in good condition, prob ably on the whole stronger ihan last year's. But there is a discouraging weak ness behind the bat and a scarcity of good men for the box that make an answer to the question of prospects too speculative to be of value. The series of games to be played drrlng the week includes Notre Dame, University of Indiana, University of Illinois, Purdue, Beloit, University of Wisconsin, Michigan and Chicago. In these it will be noted, Minnesota meets her strongest opponents of the season, and the Gophers will fe" 1 gratified if ti-ey L.EO W. CHILTON, One of the Varsity Pitchers. ar i able to break down even on the series. The indications are that, barring any un- fortunate circumstances that might work against her, Minnesota will be able to make a creditable showing. The work of the season thus far has been rather unsatisfactory and has not had the effect of giving the players all the encouragement they might well have on starting on a trip. At first the material seemed ample for a first-class aggregation. Freeman, who did excellent work in the box last year, was back and was elected captain. Metcalf at first and Plymat at third, two of the best in-fielders the "U" ever had, and Don Cameron, who played a good game at short and was captain of last year's team, were also back. Hurley, of last year's outfield team, was also avail able. Weak Behind Hut. The amount of new material was larger than usual. But ie developed that, while there were plenty of men for all other places, there was a weakness behind the bat and but few promising men for the box. Pierce was the only first-class catcher in sight and the injury to his right hand early- in the practice season made it look rather dark for the team. Schall, formerly of Hamline, and Chilton, formerly of Shattuck, who were tried, did not develop satisfactorily, although b*th did fair work. Chilton is a good * if "WALTER PL.YMAT, A Varsity Baseball Player—Third Base. pitcher and may be taken on the trip for work in the box. Hameril, a St. Cloud man, has shown a good arm and will prob ably be used at pitch. Allen, an exper ienced player, has ben used at short. He played for a time with the Duluth high school and Carleton college, and last year played short on the Uaiversity of Chicago team. Varcoe, a freshman in the aca demic department, is a strong man at bat and in field. He has been tried in center, but since Satuday's game there is a pos sibility that he will be allowed to play at short. Solem, who has made a promising second baseman, is a Minneapolis man, and played with the South side high last year. Cameron has been played in left field this year and it is probable that he .•will be in that position on the trip. Hur ley in right has kept up the work he did so well on last year's team, both in the field and at bat. Leach's hand is improving rapidly and it Is believed will be in fair shape for team work on the trip.

SiXth St. league was expected to determine the po sitions of the men for the trip. Perhaps the professionals put up a stronger game than the varsity boys had expected, and perhaps it was well that they did. The game disclosed several weak points in the "U" team, and Captain Freeman said that theTe would moat certainly be a change made in the arrangement of 'the players. The men will probably be the same. The only change indicated was {hat possibly Varcoe would be placed at short instead of Allen, who made errors and was un usually erratic in the game.

LACROSSE This season will, undoubtedly see an in creased interest in lacrosse in Minneapo lis and St. Paul. The local club is in bet ter shape than at any time since the game was given a start here. Minneapolis has joined the western, lacrosse association which is composed of teams in Manitoba and western Ontario. The finals occur at Winnipeg. A series is to be played be tween Minneapolis and St. Paul, the win ning team to go to Winnipeg. Winnipeg now holds the Drury cup. It has several strong teams to compete for the honor of representing the city in the finals. At the recent meeting of the Minneapolis La cross club the following officers were elected: President, T. W. Hall: first vice presi dent. Dr. T. Ru9sell; second vice presi dent, J. Lalonde; secretary and treasurer, J. M. Best; manager, R .W. McLeod. Among the patrons of the club are G. F. Backus, John McLeod, and W. Boutelle. The club has twelve men practicing and expects to make a far better showing than has been possible in Minneapolis before. Lacrosse is to the Canadian what base ball is to the America^. It is t&eir na tional game and they consider it* a faster game than baseball. In excitement and all around fast play, the lacrosse enthusiasts say that it is several laps ahead of foot ball. For this reason it is expected that lacrosse has a future in the United States. The American likes to see rapid play. Lacrosse got its start in Minneapolis three years ago. There was no organiza tion; simply a gathering of enthusiasts who wanted to "keep their hands in." Last season the attendance at first was light but at the last games played interest greatly increased. The men who began work two years ago are just beginning to get into good form. The club expects to put up a game this year that will make many friends for the game here. St. Paul has proved a good lacrosse town, but the organization with which Minneapolis 3tarts the season is expected to put it ahead of the saintly city crowd. An exhibition game is being planned for Memorial day to take place on the grounds of the Minneapolis club. There are a large number of old Cana dian lacrosse players in Minnesota who are again becoming Interested in the game. Some of them have belonged to the best teams that Canada has produced.

It is believed that there is enough material at Notre Dam* to develop a crew to compare favorably with Wisconsin, the only western college which has had the nerve to compete with the eastern college crews. Charles Kilpatrick, the one-legged trick bicyclist, who has astounded the country often enough heretofore with hia daring feats, is out to kill Patrick again. This time he is negotiating for permission in Xew York city to ride an automobile down an inclined plane 160 feet in length. The plane is hardly wider than the machine, the slightest veering of which from a straight line will hurl rider and vehicle to destruction. The plane will ba eighty feet high, with an incline of forty-five Pilot Wheels, Railings and Trimmings for Launches. MINNEAPOLIS BRASS AND IRON MANUFACTURE GO. Rear 116 First Aye. North.
