Whenever, in determining such average, a fractional result is obtained which differs from a whole number by not more than on«-tb.ird, the nearest whole number •will be taken as the average for the pur posa of the foregoing comparison. Each deal will be considered as a match, and both a match, and a trick score will be kept.

A Few Regulations. The right of contestants to use any well known and established method of play and any original method not given a secret, prearranged meaning, is acknowledged; but the American Whist League emphatic ally disapproves of private conventions, forbids their use in all league contests, and defines a private convention to be any unusual method of play based upon a prior secret agreement. Unless otherwise specially provided, the number of deals to tie played in any ses- Bion or match will be determined by the umpire before such session or match be gins; but, In all cases, the number will be as near twenty-four as can conveniently be arranged. If the umpire considers it advisable, the match may be divided into two or more sections, in which case the winners in each section will be entitled to prizes. Players tying for high scores in progressive matches shall be considered winners. It is also the right of a contestant to demand of his opponents an explanation of their system of play at any time, ex cept during the play of a deal, and their duty to give such Information promptly and fully.

Upon any violation of the foregoing rule the player guiltjt thereof shall be disquali fied. The trophies will be awarded to the cus tody of the winners, and individual sou venirs given to the players on such teams.

THEY NEVER SPEAK Why Pratt's Boy Fights Shy of the Lawyer. THEY WENT FISHING ON THE 4TH Wherein Lies a Tale of a Boat That Went Adrift and an Attorney Who Walked. Bas>3 are "biting" in this country like tramps at a free lunch counter when the proprietor has rushed out to see a dog fight and left the spread unguarded. But most of us have as yet not been able to A 17-YEAR-OLD SAMPSQM The subject of the accompanying half tone is Bert Kates, of Winona, Minn., probably the youngest person entrusted with the full charge of the physical de partment of a Young Men's Christian association, and whose physical develop ment challenges all 17-year-olds of the whole country for an equal. He did the entire work of a physical director last winter, under the supervision of his father, the general secretary, having 120 men in four sections of his classes, re quiring twelve class sessions weekly, and the assistance of several class leaders. He has perfect control of himself in any use of heavy gymnasium apparatus, which has been acquired in five years of per sistent effort, in which time his weight has Increased from seventy-four pounds to 145 pounds. Two years ago this sum mer, at the age of 15, he won the Wi nona tennis tournament against fourteen take advantage of the affability of Sir Open-face. True it ia that most of ue in tended doing so on the Fourth of July, but oiher things cast up, and as Dr. John eon said, "Gehenna is paved with good in tentions" anyhow. Dann Gunn said that he dared not leave his hotel while local patriotism was taking the shape of can non crackers and igniting one of those in struments of torture every two minutes in front of his house and barn. Bert Powers went to Duluth to a shoot; Mr. Wheaton was one of the judges in an exciting horse race; the old man would not, of course, go -without Roy in attendance, and I was too nearly over the verge of nervous pros tration when the Day of Freedom dawned to do anything (but stuff my ears with cot ton and get out of the racket as soon a* possible. I had my tackle prepared, my lunch and minnows provided, and was reckoning on a quiet day all by my lone some, but reckoned -without taking the local cannon and the local kid into suffi cient account. The august war department presented the local G. A. R. post last year with an ancient piece of ordnance locally believed to have been taken from the Morro castle in Santiago har<bor, which dog of war re poses on the village "green" within a stone's throw of Dan's hostelry. That good man being mayor, "had forbidden the firing of the ancient piece, and having it under his own eye as it were, was well assured it wouldn't be fired. But who ever saw the executive or official who could control the American kid on the Fourth of July to the extent of preventing him from murdering sleep when he could get gunpowder and gun into conjunction? It's a good deal of wonder that the boys did not destroy both gun and themselves, for the old cannon, like the armament of the Plying Dutchman, is; Thinnest at the breech. And far more suitable for bustin* Than givln' enemies a wustin'. But, perhaps, Mr. Wheaton is right when he says that "The devil looks out fer his own." At any rate the boys furnished the coroner no 'business, though they effectually prevented the town from sleeping after midnight on the Third. After toeing hurled out of a dozen dozes by the thunder of the old Spaniard, I gave it up for a bad Jcb, got up and dressed, and passed the rest of the night in meditation on the cruel injustice done the memory of Herod of Judea, but was too tired and nerve-racked to get up enough ambition to go fishing when day dawned at last. But there was one gentleman, a prominent member of the local bar, who had, who blessed the boys for keeping him from over sleeping, who went out to Deer Lake, and who would have had a most elegant time of it no doubt had he not tempted fate by taking Pratt's boy along. Pr»tt's boy knows every base in the lake by hie front name, and the lawyer is too busy a man to have acquired much knowledge of the kind, so he, the lawyer that is, thought it would be a wise move to take the kid along to show him the good places. He did show him some of them, and some thing else besides; the 'beautiful fix a kid can get a man into when he gives his mind to it, to wit; and it is safe to say that it will be a long time before Pratt's boy and the legal gentleman go anywhere in company again. The lawyer, by the way, is quite a devotee of the muses, and had promised to furnish an original poem and deliver a patriotic address to help along a celebration of the day at the school house near the lake, his "turn" coming on, or rather off, during the even ing, when a dance and fireworks were also the program. So you see he had planned a very enjoyable iway of spending his Fourth. He figured on getting out of the noise and racket of the day, having a good day's fishing and turning up fresh and in good fettle for his poetical and oratorical stunt in the evening. But lie didn't turn up for either, and the oration will have to remain on tap for another year. As to the poem, Pratt's boy got a copy of that and passed it over to me with the comment that it '"beat the Dutch," of the Justice of which the reader can Judge. It is evidently an apostrophe to the National Bird—-with a Big, Big B— and here it is: Go up, Old Bald-Head! You're the stuff! Send up your war cry ringing! Until it Jars the Pearly Gates, And drowns the Angels' singing. Your shadow vast o'er, tyrants cast As David over Edom Did cast his shoe; through gather blue The Battle Cry of Freedom. Peal out from Rockies' top and shake The world with scream terrific- One wing dipped in Atlantic* suria— And t'other In Pacific. Scream on, Old Bird! To Yankee ears Your keen, atronff jubilation Transcends the Music of the Spheres; And out of all Creation No voice like yours to usher in The Birthday of the Nation. Now a man who had just thrown such a fit of the divine afflatus, and come out of it alive, deserved a good day's flfching, and he got it; but he didn't deserve what fol lowed, and was this. When he reachod the lake, the boys promptly hurried him into a boat, and started down lake with him, bound for a notable little "pug hole," accessible by way of a small stream from the big lake, and famous for its monster bass. The wind was blowing fresh and strong down-lake and the wise kid insisted on rowing all the way, some four miles, and allowing the lawyer to troll. Mark the display of "head" there in. The waves carried the boat along, all the kid had to do was to steer, and of course it was us to the lawyer to row back. Well the trip was made in short order, the bass did their part in the pug hole, and 'ere noon the fishermen had at least fifty pounds of as fine ones as angler ever had right to. Then they went ashore, players. On the track he runs fifty yards in five and one-fifth seconds, with the first stride longer than any subsequent one, making almost a phenomenal Btart, from a crouching position. Bert was an easy winner of the short races in the Wi nona and La Crosse athletic meets this season. His all around development makes him a coming man in Pentathlon games, in which he scores well now. The di rectors of the Y. M. C. A. will send him to the Lake Geneva encampment, July 23 to August 22, for physical training, where he will participate in some of the games of the International Athletic league of the Young Men's Christian association. At this early age the boy is a natural leader of men, clean of habit and liked by all. After one more year in high school he will enter college for a complete course, spending his summers at Geneva, ultimately to engage in work of the Young Men's Christian association. and in the cool shade of the trees fringing the" bank, discussed the ample lunch Bose ly, had provided. , Then the' lawyer took a —which is where he made a mistake. That left the kid with idle hands, and no one to watch him, which latter func i tion was.promptly" filled by the proverbial ; employer of idle hands, who filled the hands in question with work at once. The kid went out into ? the big lake, set to trolling, hooked, a . big pickerel, and in fighting him lost one of the oars over board, which loss he did not discover be fore he was out in the lake and at the mercy of the strong wind. But the kid was all right. He simply kept her head straight, and in due time landed at the foot of the lake, seven miles away from the sleeping lawyer, and joined in a lit tle celebration going on near his landing place, as calmly as if in the habit of los ing lawyers daily. The legal light slept till 4 o'clock, and after vainly waking the echoes to recall the kid, set out to fol low the shore line to Boseley's. . I will cut his tale of woe a deal shorter than he found the walk. He lost the way a dozen times; he got bogged as often; a thunder-storm came up and drenched him. to the skin; he didn't' reach Jack's till midnight; found the family all away at the school-house which was across the lake; the dog refused to allow him to en ter the yard till Jack returned about day light; and he had thrown away the fish after manfully lugging them at least half way from the pug hole. And the bdy says he had a fine time, "but won't go out with no tenderfoot agin," The legal gen tleman says nothing—but Pratt's boy still takes the other side of the street when he sees him coming. . —C.

Pair, the wrestler Who goes against Turk for the second time tonight. Although small of stature and slight of frame Mack has control of some force which, when applied, defies and i successfully reslstes the combined strength of a quartet of Sandows. His particular stunt is to baffle the efforts of as many men. as can lay hands on him to lift him from the floor unless he wills it. - If he is willing, up he goes as light as a feather. When Mack struck town a few days ago he Immediately visited) police headquarters and invited ten of the ; strongest: plain clothes in the bunch, and a stalwart:blue coat thrown, in, to budge him from the floor. They all got a good hard grip on him and tatt&f given signal there was. a concerted attempt to lift the pale-faced young man in their very midst. About that time Mack j reached< over and deftly applied his thumb to the jugular of ' the fly bob nearest him. That completed the circuit or exerted some other subtle in fluence over the lifters, for Mack kept the floor, and with apparently no effort on bis part, refused to ascend one inch. .

A TEAR IN THE GDP Minikahda Won, but Her Star Golfer Met Defeat. REV. M. D. HARDIN BEAT JAFFRAY This Incident of the Match Served to Soften the Bltternewi of Defeat. There has been, great rejoicing at the Minikahda club ever since Saturday after noon when the news was flashed over the wire from Mlnnetonka beach that the com bined Lafayette-Minnetonka Ice Yacht Golf team had gone down in defeat before the determined onslaught of the frequent ers of the Calhoun links. The satisfaction of the city club people was dampened a bit, however, when a later bulletin an nounced that C. T. Jaffray, the crack player of the Minikahda club, who learned the game on St. Andrew's historic links, and first taught the young idea how to "putt" in this city, was among the vic tims. It remained for that sturdy young golfer, Rev. Marion D. Hardin, of Andrew Pres byterian church, to put the banker out of the running. Although he wielded a brassie for the first time last season, Mr. Hardin marched over the course like a veteran. He addressed the ball and ap proached the putting greens from every conceivable angle with a neatness and dis patch which called forth the wondering exclamations of the gallery. At the finish be was greeted with fran tic applause as he moved upon a large lemonade on the clubhouse veranda and was straightway dubbed "Hardy" Hardin. Mr. Jaffray took his defeat gracefully, rotwlthstanding that he was unmercifully "joshed" by C. S. Brackett, H. G. Thomas and others who have felt his steel. "Come, now, Jaff," said Mr. Brackett," tell us Just how it feels to be beaten. Did you ever really think it would come to pass?" "And by a new player, too," chimed in Mr. Thomas. "Oh, what a fall was there!" remarked Alf Pillsbury, and so it went all along the line, the while Mr. Jaffray quietly sipped his "lemo" and tried to look un concerned. In heat so enervating as to prostrate people in the city, the oppoßing players picked their way lightly over the course at Minnetonka beach and seemed actually to mind the heat less than the onlookers. C. S. Brackett, who scorns to wear even a cap, and in consequence is tanned an Indian hue, maintains that golfing is ac tually conducive to coolness and that any kind of head dress heats the dome of thought. "Keep your eye on the ball," says Mr. Brackett, "your thoughts on the game, and let the breeze fan your heated brow. in that case, you'll forget all about its being hot." The scoring was very good, considering the high temperature and the condition of the greens, which were rather hard. The score: - Minnetonka— Minikahda— Hardin 2 Jaffray 0 Belknap 0 Corse 7 H. J.

Time, 5:15:20 1-5. "Farmer" William Blum of Chicago easily distanced all twin city competitors in the 100-mile road race at Como Park, Saturday. He won the time prize in five hours and twenty seconds, and in so doing convinced the fast locals who "went against" him that he is the greatest road racing rider in the country. Blum began to draw away from the bunch when the race was half over. He hit up such a live ly pace that he doubled on the trail, and had a fine burst of speed left for the finish. Blum was the freshest man in the running at the finish. The red-hot weather and the still' hotter pace put most of the starters out of the game in its early stage. Of the forty who started, only twelve finished. The limit men got off at 12:45 and the scratch men at 2 o'clock. The track fiend got in his work early. Many riders ac quired punctures from tacks scattered near the pavilion in the first few laps of the race. These tacks were long, new ones, and meant business. A tack an inch long put John Larson, Minneapolis' crack road racer, out of business in the fourth lap. He rode around on a tandem wheel, but his class had got such a long start on him that he withdrew from the race. Larson had been relied upon to give Blum the race of his life. Had the Minneapolis man remained in the race his friends be lieve that Blum might not have won so easily. Blum jumped to the fore In the twenty fifth lap, and soon left the others in the rear. Clements hung onto the Chicagoan's rear wheel for a brief space and then dropped behind. Clements was handi capped by a tight wheel. He finally changed mounts and rode easier. Alone and unaided, he could not close up the gap between him and Blum. Clements accordingly took his time and made it a finish fight with Harbert of Chicago for second time, and won handily. Tom L. Bird quit at the end of his twenty-ninth lap. "Cramps," said Tom, In explanation. The St. Paul man was in advance at the end of the twenty-fifth mile, which he covered in 1:08:30. R. M. Nystrum of St. Paul looked like a place winner. He ran away from his class, but drank too much water and the sun got in its work. Of the eight men who started from scratch only three finished. Blum says he's had enough riding to "hold him for a while," and for that rea son will not go after the national century record over the Mlnnetonka course. He frankly admitted that if he was unable to cover the 100 miles over the level Como course in better than five hours he atood little chance of bettering Minneapolis records for the 'Tonka course. Pof almost half the race Blum and Dempsey rode together. N. C. Hopper and W. V. Peterson kept them close com pany for the rest of the race. Carl John son, a cousin of John S. Johnson, looked like the place winner at the end of the half-century. Following is the standing of the riders who finished: First, W. J. Dempsey, St. Paul, 40 min utes. Time, 5:18:45. Second, Carl Johnson, Minneapolis, one hour. Time, 5:46:50. Third, William Blum, Chicago, scratch. Time, 6:00:20. Fourth, N. C. Hopper, Minneapolis, 15 min utes. Time, 5:15:20 1-5. Fifth, J.

Mahrat Alah, "Terrible Turk" No. 2, was "up against it" Saturday night at a local variety theater. "It" was Fred G. Fair of Rolla, N. D., originally from Vermont, a new and promising star in the wrestling firmament. When Fair dropped Into town a few days ago, with his manager, "Mack, the Boy Wonder," he read the Turk* free for-all challenge and promptly got a line on the hefty gentleman from the aultan's domain. Herman Smith, manager for the Turk, didn't like Fair's physical appear ance and endeavored to "renig," but it was a clear case of "put up or shut up" and Smith was forced to acquiesce. When the "Boy Wonder" announced that his big companion, just to be obliging, would not bar strangle holds, the Turk was thoroughly reassured and looked upon Mr. Fair as easy meat. If Fair could, stand fifteen minutes before the 270 pounds of dead weight on which the Turk usually confidently counts to crush all lighter adversaries in any given time, $25 would be his portion. Fair didn't exactly "need the money," but business la business so he reported for duty when the curtain was rung up at 8:15 o'clock. Fair weighs 180 pounds stripped and stands six feet in his stocking feet, but he looked like a "little one" when the Turk, with a ferocious grin approached him. Fair easily evaded every death grip which Mahrat Alah brought to bear upon him, and was taking a rest behind his opponent's huge hulk when time was called at the quarter-hour. During the struggle the Turk tried half and fore arm Nelson and hammer-lock holds, but Fair handily spun out of each position on his head at the very moment when it looked as though the Turk had him "dead to rights." Fair is a five-style wres-tler. Although he has not received quite as much ad vertising as some other men at the bus iness, he has a good record back of him. At Kalispell, Mont., he threw Moathe twice inside of an hour, in which time Moathe had advertised to throw Fair thrice. He won from McCune in two straight falls at catch-as-catch can holds at Stevens Point, Wis. He bested Jack O'Neill in a five-style match for tha championship of the world, winning in three hours and twenty minutes at Kalispell. Frank S. Lewis of Minneapolis, went down before Fair at Grand Forks, N. D., for the third time in 19 minutes. Fair threw D. A. McNally two straight at Grand Forks. He has also thrown Billie West, Barber and Dan Track. The only prominent wrestlers he ha 3 not yet met are McLeod and Burns,-and they are out of his class, being heavy weight wrestlers. Fair says he is not afraid to tackle anything In his class, and has a standing challenge to that effect The Turk thinks he can "get" Fair ali points down by an extension of the time limit. Arrangements have accordingly been made for a twenty-minute go to night. The purse is $50 a side. If Fair can stand twenty minutes he wins the money. A Swell Train.
