Pitcher Scott bad the spit ball at perfect

The soft-drink boy who figured in Saturday's
fracas made a complete confession yesterday,
implicating those two well-known athletes, Mr.
McGraw and Mr. Mathewson, neither of which
is afraid of small boys
"The young drink agent admits using foul
and uncouth words when McGraw ordered Mm
away from the bench. Muggsy threatened to
throw the peddler ont of the lot, and then com
promised by smacking him on the lip. The walls
of the wounded boy annoyed Mr. Matthewson,
and he playfully jammed a pair of shoes into
his mouth, thinking thereby to plug up tbe
cavity and stop the noise.
"This spirited assault evoked high compliment
from Mr. Donlin, who said Matthewson deserved
credit for handing the boy one on the gobboon.
As this tribute comer from one who holds the
proud record of having knocked out a chorus
girl, Mr. Matthewson was deeply affected. The
Bucknell college boy is making headway^

MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL.
WORTH MONEY TO
MAKE THE TEAMS
Keene Fitzpatrick Indulges in
Funny Talk to the Wolverine
Athletes.
According to Keene Fitipatrick, athletic
trainer of Michigan university, professionalism
is rampant at that Beat of learning, where It
Is said to be worth $500 a year to be an ath
lete This surprising statement was included
In a recent appeal to the students to come out
and train foi track and field events, but pei
haps it was meant differently from the way the
public viewed it. Says Fitzpatrick "There is
not a year when we do not have eight or ten
more requests for teachers who can give in
struction of this kind than we can supply. This
is something that the majority of students who
are fitting themselves for feachers seem to have
overlooked, and we get many letters from for
mer students who are engaged in teaching ask
ing us for information as to how to give this
sort of instruction. Among other things, a
teacher can often command $400 to $500 more
a year in salary."
A western report bears out this statement by
saying that it is worth $1,000 a year to get on
the Michigan footbail eleven, and if a man
makes the all-western team It is said to be
north $1,500 a year, and for the very short
season of three months It is not yet known
in what light the Michigan alumni will le
ceive Fitzpatrick's statement, but it is the first
time that Michigan's athletic leputation has
been exploited as financially valuable to the gen
eral body of Michigan students Fitzpatrick
makes a good offer to the men who will come
out and embrace the new "study Tho they
neyer may develop ability to get on thjs big
teams, he says he -will teach them all the tricks
by which they can show other men how to
succeed on the cinder path or gridiron.

treated to a surprise here yesterday. In the
very first round of the open tournament on the
links of the country club. Champion Walter J.
Travis met defeat at the hands of W.
Schick, of Harvard. Before the start of this
morning's match the betting was 2 to 1 that
Travis would win in'the tournament.
The champion of Great Britain started oft*
well, winning tbe short hole in 3 but Schick
took the fifth, seventh and eighth, -which made
him 2 up turning for home The collegian
made the tenth in four. They halved the
eleventh. Schick took the twelfth In four and
Travis found himself four down. He fought
desperately but Schick never faltered and sealed
the veteran's fate at the seventeenth hole which
he won in a beautiful 3, giving him the match
from 3 up and 1 to play.
It is said that the man that beats Travis
in a tournament/ never wins out. This held
good this afternoon when Schick lost to Murray

SPORTING SPINDRIFT
A TIMBbT TONE.
Pile your voices keenly
Tune your loud baKOo
Split the air with bellows
Till tho breeze turns blue.
After months of silence
Give your whooplngs play
Time has come for action
Baseball starts in May,
Sporting Life Bard.
Baseball begins in Minneapolis next Friday af
ternoon when Manager Watklns' team takes, on
the eastern league bunch managed by Artie Ir
win. If present dope holds good the millers
should start the season at home with a whoop.
The opening ceremonies have not been an
nounced. There have been whispers- of automo
bile processions and brass bands but nothing defi
nite has been decided upon. Being away with
the team, the manager has not bad any time to
arrange for a spontaneous outburst of gladnesl on
the part of the fans.
It is presumed that Rev. G. ti. Morrill, chap
lain of Nicollet park, will approach the plate
with the radiant sunshine slipping off his pol
lehed dome with, the ease of a hired girl passing
down street on a banana peel. Ho will make a
few remarks about how baseball resembles the
"great game of Jife" and quote that pretty little
thing about the "golden sunset"Colonel Lee
will whoop twice in rapid succession and the sea
son will be on.
Therf will be many old and some new faces on
the team. The babylike countenance of "Kid"
Fox, captain of the squad, will shine with th
glad homelight around second base, and Tom
Gleason's favorite. "Little Andee I-l-ler," will
be at short. "Buck" Freeman, the lad from,
the coast, whose injured leg kept him In misery
the latter part of last season, is as right as can
be, and Is cutting great didoes around first
base. "Battleship" Greminger, probably the
heaviest hitter in the league, will be back at
third, his injured wrist having about healed np.
There will be a complete change in the batteries
and all the dope has it that things will be
better.
In the outfield Sullivan and Maloney will bo
missed, but Clouter Coulter is still there. The
fat -waddle o Leslie, the utility man of last
year, will be absent. The new men are stick
ing wrti and fielding fast If they will only
play fast enough to beat out St. Paul on holi
days and five out of six weekdays they will
be forgiven for all past offense!.
It is very much up to them.
Just now about every tinhorn and false-alarm
prizefighter who every went to sleep after a
biff from a five-ounce projectile is "butting into"
the newspaper business and telling, in syndicate
articles iust how bd they werTor how SSSly
good they thought they were. The opinions of
these roundheads on any subject are about as
valuable as a jojntkeeper's estimation of a re
form mayor.
Down at Savage, Minn., every fine day, Dan

beautifully finished with best spar varnish. Air chambers In each end make
sinking absolutely impossible.
By Way of ComparisonThe wood boats will leak, get water-soaked and heavy
and require.constant care generally. Our steel boats weigh about 150 pounds
and always remain the same. One coat of paint in the spring is the only care
needed. Livery boat men will appreciate these points as well as private owners.
