evolved a theory. The star-gazers of
the world have ever sinco been bowing
down and worshiping Copernicus be
cause his theorizing ended in the form
ulation of a theory that the whole civil
ized world has accepted as correct.
But still opportunities to win undying
fame come not oftener than once in a
century. There is. however, just such
an opportunity before tlie world now.
The man who can evolve a theory rela
tive to the future of the Minneapolis
ball team and the American association,
a theory that succeeding events will
prove, will be remembered as long as
base oa!l is played.
Here goes for a try for that crown of
fame.
Last night Hy L. Ilach received the
following telegram:
Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 15., ISM.— Hy L.
Ilach, Minneapolis, Minn.: Have no inten
tion of leaving the association. You play
here to-morrow or forfeit the game. Why
were you not here to-day !
A. W."Fkiese, Treasurer.
The above is a joke. The Milwaukee
club officials are having their laugh
now. The Western association will
laugh Monday. To-morrow the West
ern Base Ball association will meet in
Minneapolis. The Milwaukee Base Ball
club will be expelled, unceremoniously.
"Of that there is no manner of doubt;
no probable, possible shadow of doubt:
no possible doubt whatever." The
management of the Milwaukee club has <
been altogether too coquettish. It has j
worn its heart upon its sleeve so long ;
that the daws have pecked several I
large, jagged-edged holes in it. !
The other Western association clubs are !
wearied of associating with a pander.
The situation is figured out this way by j
Minneapolis base ball experts, on the !
basis of press dispatches from Milwau- j
kee and other cities.
President Gillette thought he had ■
taken Cincinnati's place in the Ameri
can association. Acting on that suppo
sition lie telegraphed his manager to
take the train for St. Louis. Then Yon
Der A lie stepped in, unlimbered his
sandbag, ami the deal was off— way off.
Now the Milwaukee men hope to
bluff the Western association into think
ing that the Beer City Ins been as im
movable as its own beer, whereas it.
really has partaken of the characteris
tics of its own beer-full of froth. Mil
waukee most go. Her players will be
divided up among the other clubs. An
i I
attempt will then be made to play out j
the season as a six-club association.
Martin Duke— the one. the oniy. the J
statuesque Duke— has bidden good-bye |
to the ozone of Minnesota and beer of 1
Minneapolis. He has cone to Balti- j
more. Last night he boarded the train, ;
moved his hand in adieu, cocked his
hat on one side, closed an eye, uttered
a certain familiar expression peculiar
to Dukes and disappeared for ever. lie
will join the Baltimores in Boston.
That is the latest in base ball circles
in Minneapolis, with the exception that
some of the players, especially Ward,
| are kicking for money. Ward is evi
dently sore because he didn't go to St.
Louis with McQuaid, Bettgar and
Darling.
Every day it becomes moie apparent
that Ilacli made a bad move when he
disbanded the team. A few weeks be
fore he told the boys they were on the
cold, cruel world he had it in mind to
sell the team. He wanted 515,000 for it
then. Why he quit as he did, When he
might have sold the team, or at least
some of the players, remains a mystery.
When "Uncle Dick" McCormick
dropped the Omaha team in much the
same manner, Ilach laughed at his ac
tion. Then he went aud did the same
thing himself.
Milwaukee leads the Western associ
ation on the eve of its and smash up,
with Omaha, though steadily losing,
second in the list. Sioux City and Kan
sas City have been playing a strong
game of late, and are just beginning to
take an interest* in the fight. Duluth,
too, has been doins; good work, and has
pushed up nearly to the .400 mark. The
National league continues the greatest
fight in its history, with Chicago still
in the lead, though its 'margin is
only seven points over Boston, with New
York only one point behind the latter.
The Quakers are now playing the stead
iest same of any club in the league,
and. being but half a dozen games be
hind Chicago, have some chance of tak
ing the pennant. The other four clubs
are out of the fight. In the American
association Boston apparently has a
cinch on the flag, with St. Louis an
chored in second place, and Baltimore
and the Athletics lighting for the next
position. The records are appended:

KOW WILL THIS END?
Milwaukee Is Not In, antl May Be
Out.
Milwaukee, Aug. 15. — President
Gillette returned from Louisville yes
terday afternoon, and about 4 o'clock
received a telegram announcing that
the offer for the Cincinnnti franchise
had been accepted, and the local team
was to have left for St. Louis last night
to play the schedule game in place of
! Cincinnati to-day. After Manager Cosh
man had taken his team to the depot
I and was purchasing tickets to St. Louis.
! a telegram was received ordering them
' not to come. Columbus, or, more prop-
I erly, President Kramer, had registered
lan objection to the admission of
' Milwaukee, notwithstanding that
the consent of five clubs in
I the association had been obtained
I for the transfer of the Cincinnati
j franchise. The team was held, but
• President Gillette boarded the train for
i ; St. Louis forthwith. Minneapolis had
' been notified of Milwaukee's with
drawal from the Western association
and cannot reach the city for games to
i day and to-morrow, even If there was a
• desire to do so. The aim of the Amer
ican association in the disruption of the
Western league has been accomplished,
and the locals are in a perplexity to
know whether or not they have played
i themselves out of the base ball world
entirely. It is the opinion here that

; Kramer cannot prevail against the ex
j pressed wishes of a majority of the as
j sociations managers, out it is only an
j opinion, and there is a fear that the
'' Milwaukee people have been playing
j novices with veterans in the wildcat
j business.
St. Louis, Aug. 15. -President 11. E.
Gillette, of the Milwaukee club, arrived
in St. Louis this morning. President
Yon Der Ahe and Mr. Gillette had a
consultation about the franchise which
the latter is trying to secure in the
American association. Mr. Yon Der
Ahe assured the Milwaukee magnate
that his city would be represented in
the association, taking Louisville's
place, as that club is for sale. Mr.
Gillette will know positively about the
Louisville matter this evening or to
morrow morning.
Louisville, Ky.. Aug. 15.— The pool
formed by stockholders of the Louis
ville Base Ball club to secure, the
retention in this city, to-day added
enough stock to control the club.
The stock is placed in the hands
of Attorney Phelps as trustee. Parsons
still claims valid the agreement made
by several who are in the pool to sell at
a fixed price. With those shares he
claims controlling interest. The dis
pute may go to the court for settlement.
St. Louis, Aug. 15.— King Kelly and
the Cincinnati aggregation reached this
city this morning, and will play the first
game of the last series with the Browns
this afternoon. President Yon der Ahe
was seen by an Associated Press reporter
at noon, and when questioned as to the
report that the Cincinnati club would
be transferred to Milwaukee, said:
"Not a bit of it: no sir, the Cincinnati
club will just stay where it is. This is
official." As President Yon der Ahe
holds a controlling interest in the Pork
opolis club, it is very likely that his
word will go.

Kan City, Aug. 15.— The Blues
took another game from Omaha to-day.
Mellor, a "pbenom." from Sioux City,

did fairly well. Roach pitched good

BEATEN BY A BAD BOAT.
Why the Minnesota Four Was Con-
queretl at Winnipeg.
If there were an excuse for the lack ,
of man's prowess, then cowardice would
be made justifiable always. The rea
sons of defeat are as many and varied
as the causes of successful effect. The
former are seldom considered in the
heat of events by those who presume to
digest them, while the latter are picked
and pryed by those who would fathom
the methods of good fortune, ln
sports of a physical nature, more
than in any other exercise, the
excuse for defeat finds little sympathy
with the observing multitude. Unbiased
competence alone can fairly discern and
judge of one man's conduct, resulting
successfully to himself, and another's
who miscarries ignominiously. Tiie ar
dent "good-bye" wiiich the GLOBE ex
tended to the scullers of the Minnesota
Boat club, when, a few weeks ago, they
left for Northern fields of conquest, was
given with the hope that Minnesota's
oarsmen would acquit themselves nobly.
Judging the men from a high standard
of physical excellence, there seemed no
possible flaw in the personnel and
equipment of the crew which left for
Winnipeg waters. It was known' that
tliev were the lightest crew in the Win
nipeg and Minnesota regatta. At home
it was J also known by near associates
and fellow oarsmen that the Minnesota's
four-oared shell weighed 138 pounds,
and that this weight was fifty-five
pounds over the weight of cedar racing
boats. It was this disparity which was
cogitated in the club room for weeks,
by those who said little but thought a
deal. - The record the crew made on the
club course was the fastest time ever
made on the Mississippi, and eighteen
seconds faster than that of the crack
senior crew of the club which ou trowed
all opponents in 1883. It was this grand,
but false, success on the river which led
the executives to venture off, handi
capped by fifty-five pounds of rafting.
In Winnipeg the Minnesota boys
were picked as winners anywhere in the
world. No idea was entertained that
they came anchored in a tub. Several
St. Paul gentlemen accompanied the
crew to Winnipeg. When the specula
tion began the Canadian fellows offered
$1,000 against $800 that they, the Win
nipegs, would beat the Minnesotas. To
the Lurlines they turned a disregard! ul
look and dubbed them "not in it.'' The
! St. Paul contingent quieklv covered
! the Canadian money and with nearly
' $5,000 upon their skill and courage the
j cherry and white men touched the line,
I ready for the fray. Be assured the
i Canuucks were on hand also. . And
just make a note of it that Lurline
color waved defiantly with the least or
best of them. The lied river course is
an abominable water. The start is but
a quarter mile cross country from the
finish, the course lying about a point of
land and forming a horseshoe. Long
experience and lopsidedness alone could
teach a man to row such a circular
course to advantage. The inside posi
tion is eleven lengths shorter than the
next position. The Lnrlines had the in
side, Minnesota next and W'innipegs
out-water. The Winnipegs and Minne
sotas. upon whom all the gold had been'
plunked, were lying in wait to kill each
other in the first mile. A wonderful
speed was begun, Minnesota leading,
followed close by Winnipeg— Lurlines
out at sea. At the mile buoy the Win
nipeg collapsed- rowed to sickness.
Minnesota, then leading by three
lengths, also reeled, and so the two dead
and sorry crews paddled on in a ultiful
chaos. Those who witnessed it say it
was heartrending to see the palsied
struggle of the limp oarsmen. The
spine and speed thus out of the Win- •
nipegs and Minnesotas, the Lurlines
kept a steady swing home and got there
just in time to show their stern to Min
nesota—Winnipegs struggling behind.
When the race was over and the ex
citement subsided, the Winnipegs
cheered the Minnesotas and in many
manly ways acknowledged their speed
and pluck. * They discovered, and for
the first time appreciated, that the Min
nesotas were sadly handicapped in their
boat. All reasonable views will give
this condition its place. There is no
law of force which renders the lightest
crew in the heaviest boat the faster.
Nettleton. who had returned, joined
Brown at the last moment, and together
they won every race they entered.
When the Minnesotas returned to St.
Paul they met with the heartiest sup
port for their effort, for the time they
made, notwithstanding defeat, was 8:13.
Then their heads were turned toward
Detroit where the Northwestern re
gatta was to be rowed. Preparations
were going on for another start, when a
mishap to their shell necessitated re
pairs which made it still heavier and
knocked Cue last beam of hope from
under their ambition. The inevitble
was accepted and a ready decision kept
them at home— and here they are, with
hard muscles, but harder hearts.
The report that the Lurlines had no
organized junior crew, and that at Win
nipeg they created one for the occasion
suddenly and without training, is a fab
rication of the veriest sort. Ttie Lur
lines have a junior crew which is much
faster than its senior crew. Both crews
are well organized, and are a fine lot of
oarsmen, able and worthy to cope with
the best of them.
It is now proposed to hold a regatta
on Lake Minnetonka. the same to be
held under the auspices of the Minne
sota and Lurline clubs and the manage
ment of the Lake Park hotel. While
the date has not as yet been fixed, the
indications are that the event will occur
eariv in September, lt is on this occa
sion" that the Lurline and Minnesota
juniors may meet each other again and
do battle as become them.
The annual picnic of the Minnesotas
will be held on Labor day, and the ab
original proclivities of the participants
may then enjoy full vent at the expense
of oarsmen who have this season upset
tlieir shells.
RfcN IN WONDERFUL TIME.
Joe King Makes a Hundred Yards
in 94 5 Seconds.
Joe King, of St. Paul, is the king of
the amateur sprinters in the Northwest.
The championship was settled yester
day at Kittsoudaie. There had been
some question about the record he made
at the high school sports, last spring,
and A. 0. Newell, of Faribault, chal
lenged him to run for the Northwestern
amateur championship medal. This
led to yesterday's meeting of these two
candidates. There was a gathering 01
something like 200 admirers of gentle
manly sports. Four timekeepers were
] selected, so that there should be no dis
j pute afterward of the time in which the
I 100 yards were run. They were J.
Woodmansee, James Carr, A. Andrews
and William Prester. The judges were
Dan W. Chamberlain, G. W. Penney
and T. Sanders, while R. L. Weston of
ficiated aa starter. The latter is the
superintendent of the Y. M. C. A. gym
nasium. ...,.;.,.-..« ;^-.A,
The start was made at the pistol shot.
At the flash Newell sprung to the front,
and with a mighty effort lie. kept it
for upwards of seventy-five yards.
It was a rattling pace, but
King was coming meanwhile with just
a little better speed, and he gained the
coign of vantage and won at the scratch
by a foot and a half. It was the great
est performance ever witnessed among
amateurs in the Northwest. The world's
amateur record was equalled. 0 4-5 sec
onds. The unanimity of the four watches
leaves no ground for doubt concerning
the time.

San Francisco, Aug. 15. — The
numerous articles that have recently
appeared in print over the signature of

considerable local comment unfavora
ble to Corbett. Peter Jackson was in
terviewed, and said: "I am ready to
fieht any time and in any place except I
New Orleans, and further, will bet him
1500 that he is not game enough to fight
me again, or, in other words, finish the
contest which he says he has already
won. If he had me so badly beaten,
why doesn't he fight me again and set
tle beyond a question who is the best
man?""

EASTERN LEAGUE.
Trouble Over the Making of a
Schedule.
Albany, N. V., Aug. 15.— The mag
nates of the Eastern association of base
ball clubs met last evening at the Ken
more hotel and were in session until i
o'clock this morning. The schedule as
revised was submitted for the approval
of the managers, but was not adopted,
owing to some objections being raised
by the Syracuse manager. It will not
be given out for publication until
adopted. The meeting adjourned with
out adopting the schedule as revised.
It was given out afterward that Syra
cuse had kicked about the placing of
some of the games, but that tiie sched
ule up to Sept. 10 had been unanimously
adopted. A copy of the schedule,
slightly changed, was forwarded to the

Omaha, Aug. 15.— Jack Wilkes, of
St. Louis, and Harry Gilmore, of Chi
cago, fought at South Omaha, to-night
for a purse of 1500, given by the Magic
City Athletic club. It was a pretty fight
while it lasted, but in the second round
Wilkes knocked Gilmore silly. Big
money was bet on Gilmore, and a news
paper man won most of the money,
having pawned everything in sight to
bet on the St. Louis man.
"Defi to the Picketts.
There jvill be a game of ball this aft
ernoon at Spring park. Lake Minne
tonka, between the Palace nine, of
Minneapolis, and the Wilmots, of St.
Paul, for a purse of $50. The Wilmots
have played many games this season
without losing a single one. As the
season is drawing to a close, they have
decided to cancel all their outside
games for the future in order to show
the Picketts why they claim the cham
pionship. They are willing to play the
Pi cketts a series of three games, be
ginning the 23d of August, and would
be elacl to have some sort of a reply im
mediately.
To Occur in a Hall.
The Moth-Lindeman catch-as-catch
can wrestling match will have to come
off in some hall. It was impossible to
get the Olympic, theater ready for the
event. This house is undergoing its
annual summer renovation and re
pairs, and is all torn up. An
extra force of workmen and art
ists are working night and day
to get it ready for the opening of the
season, which will occur there with an
excellent vaudeville company one week
from to-morrow night. Hence, it is
possible the wrestling match will be
transferred to Minneapolis. Pugilism
can scarcely be expected, since the
state militia will be called out with a
sheriff's posse to prevent it. and the
more vigorous sports must be confined
to wrestling. Both Moth and Linde
man are of the robust gladiator sort and
a great evening's sport is certain next
Saturday night, either In St. Paul or
Minneapolis. ■

please, two hours nightly for six nights,

Negotiations are being made to get
George Connors, of London, England,
now In St. Paul, to run with Messier.

Pacific club, of San Francisco, for a
light between Pritchard and Fltzsim
mons, that his club would not offer more
than 110,000 and they are not at all anx

true. With it comes the story that he is sick
of the association and wants to return to the
