Each of them lashed Out with a straight left and right at each other's faces simultaneously. Kelly tried to follow with one of his fierce right hand body blows, but Ketchel stepped back. K«atchel then made use of the left shift. He made a motion as though to strike with the right hand, then he suddenly drew his right foot back and let go a vicious left swing for the face. He caught Kelly squarely on the jaw and dropped him to his haunches. It was a ter rible crack and one glance at Kelly told that he was done for.

CR00KST0N KAY PUT Efforts Being Mads to Get the Minne sota Town in the League Next Year. Croofeston Minn Aug. 1 —Baseball men of the north think that with the entrance of Crookston into the league next year the Northern league, which has been enjoying a dubious prosper ity for the past three years, will be made again to resume its former glory. A group of magnates met here Wednesday evening, and the entrance of Crookston into the circuit was a live issue. Should Crookston not inter th« Northern league the coming year is probably a dead issue. The recent slump of the Fargo Browns from the league has aroused speculations on the coming year, with Crookston as the pivotal point. The Crookston Inde pendents of last year and the interest manifested in the team of the city this year, Influences old leaders of the Northern league here to look up and take notice. With the withdrawal of Crookston from the Northern league dissatisfaction has always existed on account of the long unbroken trips. The league leaders of other cities are ready to rtiake some concessions to the magnates here. If indications do not greatly belle the true outcome, the probabilities of a league team in Crookston next year will be thorough ly weighed by the leaders in th* sport in this part of the stats.

Some base-« ball magnates would much rather have a cheap losing team than an «jm pensive winner. St. Paul's Qreat Indian Catcher. Although President Lennon of St Paul has failed in his efforts to givs his city a winning tea:n this year, h« has succeeded in unearthing the big-' gest sensation of the year in the American association. Big Jack Myers, the Indian catcher, is without question the greatest find in minor league baseball this season. Hia playing has attracted the attention of the big league managers, and several of them are after him, including Con* nie Mack of Philadelphia, who, It is said, is willing to pay almost any price, for the redskin. Mr. Lennon* however, will not let him go and will do everything in his power fetaln him for another season. A "Home Run" Season. A larger number of home runs than usual have been made in various leagues this year. The Harrisburg and Reading teams* however, in the Trlstate league re-» cently posted up a record for the biggest number of home runs In at professional game. Eight homers were registered in the contest, Har~ risburg getting five and Reading three. Was This the Record Hitf While there Is no official record of the longest h*t made in a professional game of baseball. Jack Cronin, the Providence pitcher, claims the dis tinction of accomplishing this feat, and his contention is backed up by Manager Stallings of the Indians, who saw him do the trick. Cronin made his mighty swat in the city of Minne apolis in 1900, when he was a member of the Detroit (American league) team, which was at that time Man aged by Stallings. According to Sellings, the sphere traveled a distance of between 700 and 800 fet before it fell to the ground, and min had time to walk around the bases two or three times before the ball was recovered.
