VIII DE the matcn race OF I'VE miles
between Grant Bell and Phil Hartman for
$50 side. Bell will ride new machine
a star racer-which will arrive to-day. He
claims that his wheel ridden last night was
a serious handicap. inasmuch as il weighed
twenty-five pounds more than Hammers
machine. Said he in commenting on it:
Il tell you, it is a big lug on a 'cyclist TO
push wagon around this track for five
miles. If l fail to win the next race the
time will be greatly reduced.
THE BOAT CLUB.
''The Lurline Boat club will do more
business the coming season than ever i'm the
past" said ii. w. Commons, the secretary
1.-The members are all active and alive to
the sports to be enjoyed. Many have gone
To work in the gymnasium hardening up
their muscles for their campaign, and all
talk enthusiastically of regattas that will
be given" Another member of the club
was asked what would become of the
Stone Schiffmann imbroglio, and the answer
was that ii would be allowed to drop
Nothing can be gained by an exposure, If
there be anything TO expose. Many men,
bers of the club, after discussing the theme.
had said they favor employing Mr.. Stone at
a stated salary to take full charge of the
and skilled builder and will. in that capac-
ity, prove a valuable man to the club.
NORTHWESTERN LEAGUE.
The first meeting of the stockholders and
managers of the proposed Northwestern
Base Ball league will meet i'm Eau Claire on
Friday to perfect an organization and to
adopt rules TO govern the same. as well as
! to decide upon schedule of games for the
season and elect the sixth city. Already
Milwaukee. st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth
and Eau Claire are in, with the likelihood
of deciding upon Oshkosh as the remaining
/ city. Ted Sullivan, j. +. Whtcomb and
/ Mr.. Lucas are rustling and have secured
most of their players. Whitcomb has
seven men selected and will get four or five
more within the coming week. Some re-
| gret has been expressed by Minneapolis
people because Elmer Foster could not be
signed, but that is not one of the impOSsi-
bilities of the near future. The next i'm
portant question to decide will be the loca-
| ton of grounds. There are but two avail
able points. One is on the Chicago, Mil
wankee IL ST. Paul short line. and the other
on the motor line. 1t is quite probable that
either company will willingly furnish
grounds on account of the benefits that they
will derive. If located on the motor line
the travel from st. Paul will be over the
Manitoba road, because the motor connects
with the union depot. If on the Milwaukee
short line, no travel will come over the
Manitoba, and hence il would seem that the
Manitoba and the motor companies will
pool issues To secure the grounds on the
motor line. This plan would also cOnven-
fence the Saltwater people who would at
tend the Minneapolis games.

Chief West is satisfied that the glove con-
test between Patsy Cardiff and Prof. Rookie
will not be prize fight, and therefore IL will
not be actionable. Large, soft gloves are 10

and no disturbance will be made, and the au-

their time and money.
\ Last evening an East side resident called at
the GLOBE Office and advocated locating the
base ball grou nds on the Manitoba short line
| on the East side near the state university.
and urged as paramount reason that Man

the expense of the grounds should they be
| located there.
The stakes in the siX-daY bicycle race have
been made good, despite the rumor tina,
Schock had forfeited his 5000. Albert Schock

be very foolish TO forfeit his money.
