What the Players* Are Doing in the

Minneapolis baseball fans are enoour

association team. Rain has interfered
with the play, but the fifteen-inning game
of this week showed that the locals have
staying Qualities, with w'hloh they have
not been credited. Watkins' men fought
for the game with a bulldog persistence,
winning for themselves the admiration of
every fan who sat and squeezed thr.u, the
long play.
Ferry has not struck his gait yet on
isocount of a broken Anger on hia pitching
jhand. In form, Fewpy is one of the most
'dangerous pitoheM in the minor leagues,
barring none. He is ojever with the wil
ilow and there is a general desire that he
fget into ahape. Stawiagle caught one
game and went thru without a bobble.
He is also picking up in his hitting and
plays a very satisfactory first base. Leslie
bobs around as utility man/and can hit
the ball most or the time when a hit la
needed.
"Buck" Weaver Is going fast baok of
the pan. He is improving on his fielding,
and this week has nailed several long
fouls that properly belong to the corner
Ibasemen. He is not hitting up to his mark
iyet by any means. Oyler 1B fast at short,
'and surprised himself and the stands the
lother day with a clean-cut threebagger.
iMcNlchols has fallen off in his hitting
and has been dropped out of the first
division on the batting order. He is not
.:going as fast as he did when ha firs^
(joined the team.
There Is nothing but roses Jor the out
field. Coulter, Sullivan and Maloney are
all hitting the ball and gardening their*
several truck patches in a style that
icauses the pentups to sigh with relief
when a heavy hitter lifts one over the
heads of the inflelderB. It Is almost a
certainty that one of the three will down
jit. Fox has steadied up In his fielding
land is batting a trifle better Freenpan,
,the new first baseman, took part in the
long half of the fifteen-inning game and
pjayed creditably despite hia weak ankle.
The pitchers are'all in good form save
Ferry, and there is little to ask for from
,them in the way of improvement.
The team has been strengthened ma
terially and it looks as tho runaway
games are ended at Nicollet park, barring
accidents. Louisville is standing well up
in the league race, but they have had to
|work like demons to defeat the locals,
even with the assistance of some um
piring of a shady variety. There's a ball
game at Nicollet park whenever the team
goes on the held these days, it looks
as tho Watkins was keeping his prom

Am I Right?
FROM
St. Paul comes word that a de
termined effort is being made to re
vive interest in boxing in Minnesota, and
that it is planned to bring strong support
to a movement to have a bill passed by
the next legislature, allowing ten-round
bouts to be held In the state. The idea
is to allow Minneapolis and St. Paul a
reputable club eaoh, while other cities of $
the state may have one, If they desire.
The promoters of the scheme say they
plan to so restrict boxing matches that
there will not be the slightest suspicion
that the bouts are not "on the square."
It is said that their plans include a medi
cal examination for each man who would
enter the arena and the use of large
gloves.
There is always suspicion attaching to
the boxing game, and thiB is due to the
actions of the boxers themselves. Some
of the best boxing clubs In the country
have gone to the bad on account of fake
bouts between men whose Interests one
would naturally suppose to be on the side
of clean contests. The boxing game can
never be stopped by legislation. A pres
ent, bouts in the state are numerous.
They are of the "sneak" variety, in which
half-trained boys are allowed to fight
themselves into exhaustion, and It Is a
wonder that deaths do not result. The
sneak fights are held without the medical
examination of the' contestants, and are
in violation of the laws of the state. If
boxing oould be regulated and controlled
by reputable clubs, the promoters of which
were men held responsible to the state
for their actions, It would have the ten
dency to do away with these saloon scraps
and "over the border" battles.
If such a scheme as. that broached in
St. Paul should go thru, the legislators
should go to the ends demanded by the
Frawley bill In Ne York. Charitable In
stitutions of the state should share in the
profits of the clubs. The medical exam
iners should be appointed by the state,
and their fees paid by the clubs. The
clubs should be compelled to pay a high
license. There is big money In promoting
the boxing game where the public knows
the bouts are on their merits. The pro
moters should not hesitate if the state
throws about clubs every precaution for
the protection of the boxers and the pub
lic and assesses the expense of such pre
cautions upon the clubs. If Minnesota
permits ten-round bouts, the club pro
moters should be made to pay for their
franchises and pay handsomely. At that
It would mean merely a lessening of their
profits. If club promoters should demur
at any such restrictions the whole scheme
should be knocked in the head.
INNEAPOLIS has had hill-climbing
contests for automobiles, but there
yet remains one form of sport which
should attract a orowd and give the

what the two-wheeled power carts will
do. Brooklyn the other day the deal
ers prompted an "economy test", for mo
torcycles, and the sport which followed
was of a high order. The gasolene cans
of the contestant cycles were dried out
and each man who had entered the race
was allowed but one quart of the power
juice. This was careiully measured and
placed in the reservoirs of the machine.
The course was a lev^one and consisted
of a path around he)S a dozen squares.
The riders were sent off in a bunch and
the scorers set to work.
The contest was in no sense a race,
but a competition to see whose machine
would run farthest on the one quart of
gasolene. The winner of the affair cov
ered 65.3 miles with the quart of gaso
lene allotted him. He rode a two-horse
power machine. The second contestant
covered 49.4 miles on a 1%-horsepower
cycle. The remarkable feature of the
contest was the small cost per mile. Such
a contest as this should attract a large
crowd and would prove to the public just
which motorcycle is the most economical.
These vehicles are fast becoming popular
In Minneapolis, and there is no reason
why the'same success which crowned the
Brooklyn run should not be duplicated
here.
AREFUL study of the play at the
congress of the American Whist
league develops the fact that western play
has gained. This is not only shown by
the more equal division of the trophies
and honors, but in the individual play.
The team play of the western contingent
was superior by far to that of the east
ern' contestants, but the latter are now
consoling themselves by-the explanation
that in extempore play they showed bet
ter form as to finish and ability as whist
players. A further excuse for the down
fall of the east la offered in that* the
eastern players "have tired of the con
tinued strain and stress of long-drawn
out contests and have reached the sane
and healthy conclusion that there Is
greater pleasure in the lesser trying styles
Of Play." :':i.vi I'V
This style of reasoning -may be emi
nently self-satisfying to the eastern play
ers, but is it fair to the western teams
who met the eastern players after long,
hard trips across the country fcnd amid
their own. environments? In whist as

CHANCE TO DO A

SCHOLES' AMATEUR STANDING IS
CHALLENGED.
London Opinion, However, Is that
Scholes, being a Canadian, Will Not
Have the Unpleasant Experiences of.
Ten EyckCrown Prince of Slant
Steers a Boat.
New York Sun Speolal Servioe.
London, July 0.Now that the Canadian
sculler, Scholes, has won the diamond)
sculls at Henley, the amateur world is
putting forward the usual question as to
whether Scholes is a genuine amateur.
It is' pointed out that his father was
and is a professional athlete, pugilist and
oarsman.
Scholes himself, it is virtually alleged,
is a professional, and that he has been
in professional competition can be proven.
Owing to the fact' that Scholes la a
Canadian, it is probable that there will be:
no official investigation or any troublf
such as was the case with Ten Eyck.
One of the most interesting races was
the eight-oared crews for the Thames
challenge cup. The Crown Prince of Slam
steered the Cambridge crew to victory.
