'J^hone 15. f, V Offlet at Waldorf Sportin LOCAL FANS TO WITNESS SOME FINE BASEBALL EXHIBITIONS THIS WEEK—CROOKSTON TO The baseball fans of Fargo will have an opportunity to witness two games of real baseball on Friday when the Fargo Athletics and the Crookston teams meet. The Crookston team is said to be one of the fastest teams in the northwest and have not been de feated this season, and have met all the semi-professional teams In north ern Minnesota. The Athletics1 have been greatly strengthened and have a line-up that consists of the best ball tossers in this vicinity and they are putting up a very strong game. For the Crookston game the Athlet ics have secured the services of Gro gan, last year's second baseman on the Fargo league team, and one of the fastest men In the North Copper Coun try league of 1906. Burt Wilson, the crack third baseman of the Fargo col lege team, has also been secured by the Athletics, and will hold down the third sack. Peter Tierney, the captain of the Athletics, has returned from St. John's university and will be in the line-up for the first time this season. Tierney is one of the fastest ball play ers in the state and his work last year was of the professional order. The Shriners will attend these games in a body. Ball Games Friday. Cathedrals Licked.

HEAOWORK BEHIND BAT ESSEN TIAL ALL FLAG WINNERS NAVE HAD GREAT RECEIVERS —BENNETT, EWING, KELLY, BRE8NAHAN, KLING, ET AL. Crack pitchers are all right—a base ball team has to have them to win a pennant. So also are strong batters handy 'to have around—a pennant winner needs them in its business as base runners, clever team play, and skillful fielders. All of these 'things go to .make championship combinations on the diamond. Nevertheless, teams that have won pennants and have not had cppable, brainy catchers are as scarce as hen's teeth. Of the long list of pennant-winning teams dating back into the '70s, hardly one has not had a ftrfrt-elass catcher, a catcher who backs up mechanical skill with an aiert mind that takes in all that is going on and in a measure oversees and maneuvers the plan of battle. The- catcher stands there behind the bat inning after inning and game a^t'r game, taking a pounding and filling a less spectacular role than any other member of the nine. His work is not as showy. Superficially viewed, he is more of a dray horse than any other of his fellows, but in reality he is a great power in a team's success, though often he doesn't come in- for os much credit as the players who work more in the open, so to speak. Good Catchers Scarce. Catchers of the strictly first class are scarcer than the occupants of any to study the weakness of batters, to stop plays on the bases, and to keep a supervising eye on the Infield and outfield as the batting peculiarities of the the The reds won by a Durango, Col., June 4.—Horsemen are centering no small amount of "in terest in the race meet In this city which began today. It will continue' ton, Myrtie Hackett and Mike Hines three days. Some good horses are here, and a highly successful meet is expected. different opponents require, are t®a*nB that have won champion- sh'Ps- In the old National league days of '76 the Chicagos won the pennant, and they had for chief catcher Jim White, a backstop who used his head. Lew Brown, who caught for the champion Bostons of 1877, was another thinking catcher, as was Charley Snyder, wjio caught for the Bostons when they won the pennant in 1878. Here is a list of the pennant winners from that day down to the present, together with the principal catchers, and there lsn'f a backstop in the list who didn't use his head as well as his hands: 1879, Providence, Lew Brown '80 and '81, Chicago, Silver Flint 83, Bos- '84, Providence, Gilligan and Nava: '85 and '86, Chicago, Flint '86, Chi cago, Mike Kelly '87, Detroit, Bennett and Ganzel "88 and '89, New York, Buck Ewing '90, Brooklyn, Doc Bush ong and Tom Daley '91, '92 and '93, Boston, Bennett, Ganzel and Kelly '94, '95 and '96, Baltimore, Robinson '97 and '98, Boston, Martin Bergen *!»9 and 1900, Brooklyn, Charlie Farrell and Jim McGuire '01, '02 and '03, Pittsburg, Ziminer '04 and '05, Now York, Bresnahan '06, Chicago, Kling. Receiver Controls Game. Thus it will be seen that each pen nant winner was equipped with at .least one backstop of the first class— first class particularly in gray matter good generals as well as good re ceivers. The records show that in one year Flint had sixty-four passed balls, but the increased size of the glove has had much to do with the improved fielding records of the catcher. Flint had one fiilding avemge of *840 Ew ing one of .861, with sixty-/tye passed balls BushoUg one of .829, with only eleven passed bails whereas, among more recent averages are those of .914 for Robinson, .942 for Farrell, and Kling's exceptional average of .982, made last year. •••.** Great catchers wore Bennett, Mar tin Bergen, Robinson, and Farrell. And great present day catchers ark Roger Bresnahan and Johnny Kling, both identified strongly with pennant winners and pronounced factors in the success of the New York and Chicago teams. Mike Kelly caught for the Bos ton Brotherhood team, which team won the pennant jof that organization in 1890, the only year of its existence. Apropos of Flint, there is in one of the old guides the interesting state ment that in a period of thirteen years he caught 835 games of the 1,325 that his team played. Jim McGuire must have a still nfore extended rec ord of service. Doc Bushong was with the St. Louis American association team when it won the pennant under Comiskey in 1885, and Charlie Snyder with the Cin clnnatis when they won the American association flag in 1882. Not all the great catchers hav? b£en confined to i hampldnUhlp tearnfe, "but a material share of the su-ccess of the pennant winners was due to the presence be| hind the bat of such masters as Ben nett, Ewing, Daly, Bushong, Kling, Bresnahan, Snyder, Kelly, Gilligan, Farrell, Robinson and other experts, to whom the mere physical duties of their position was a matter of sec ondary import. They were generals, thinkers, planners, originators. Sullivan a Great Backstop. American 1/eagu# successes, too, have been made jby teams that possessed this same shrewd), capable type of backstop. A star in every department in Billy Sullivan, of the world's cham pion White Sox. The Chicagos won the American league pennant in 1900, 1901, and 1906, Sullivan being with them in all of those Wars. He is not only a good thrower, put watches the bases like a hawk, so that he 1s able to make use of his throwing ability. One reason why the Box hold opposing1 teams down so well is because Sulli van has them tied up on the bases, i The catchers of the Athletics, who won the American league pennant in 11902 and 1905, are Schreck and Pow ers, the latter being a good general. The peerless Lou Criger was Boston's mainstay behind the plate when that club won the American league pen nant 4n 1903 and 1904. He is not only u finished workman from the purely mechanical standpoint, but knows ev ery trick of the trade, 'Applies himself closely to the work at hand and watches every point. (The world's championship teams since the American-National series began have been the Bostons of the American league, the New Yorks of the National league, and the Chicagos of the American league. Criger, Bres nahan and SulMvan are the respective catchers for these teams, and the value of each in helping to win the highest honors in baseball is a mat ter of record. A. C. Athletics. Coach Uobie leaves in a few days for Minneapolis, where he will spend a greater part of the summer. He has the assurance -that nearly all the mem bers of last fall's football team will be back next season and he anticipates some fast games next fall. The sch-v edule is being made out and includes a game Witll the Haskell Indians. FITZ IS FROTHY* Ruby Robert Says O'Brien Mutt "Eat His Words." New York, June 4.—Bob Fitzsim raons, from his Jersey farm, threatens to punch Jack O'Brien on sight. Yes terday he came over to New York with a chip on. his shoulder. He had just read the statement made by "Phila delphia" Jack O'Brien in San Fran cisco, setting forth that all O'Brien's fights had been fakes, including his go with "Lanky Bob," in Philadelphia, several years ago. Without ceremony Fitz began talk ing. 'So O'Brien- says that the fight in Philadelphia was 'fixed.' does he? Well, it was so far as his having arranged with the police to stop it, provided I didn't knock him out with a single punch. That's all the fixing there was to that fight. But you just put it in to type that if O'Brien doesn't make a retraction of his statement that I was a party to any fake, I will make him eat his words the first time we meet. I will punch h'ls head If he accuses me of being a fakir. "You can also say that I will meet O'Brien at any time, and before any club, and if I don't stop him inside of ten rounds, he can have the entire gate receipts. If I knock him out I gill give the entire gate receipts, minus training expenses to charity. "You can say I am open to fight any man in the world, middle, light-heavy, or heavyweight.

Marie Santucci would make an in formation against Christine VarreiH and Christine in turn would do the same thing against Mrs. Santucci. Changes of venue were asked for and obtained, taking the various cases from one court to another, neither of the two judges being much ahead of the other in the matter. It was a curious mix up, and promised to last all summer. This afternoon Mrs. Santucci was to have been tried before Judge Miller for using bad language. This hearing or trial was to have taken place at one o'clock. At three Mrs. Varrelli was tu have been tried before the same jus tice, and another trial was on before Judge Ryu-.i for tomorrow.
