first game will be between Capen and
Foley, and Claw and Bingham will like
ly play Wednesday evening. Four
games will be played this week and the
other two during state fair week.
This done, the challenge series for the
cup will begin. Estes has ten days in
which to play and Frank Thayer has
the first right to challenge. Indeed, he
has already challenged. The man win
ming the third prize will then have
challenge rights anu so on down through
the list, according TO the position in
which the player concluded his sched-
uled games. However, the regular
tourney players may waive their rights,
and in that event the cup is open to
challenges by any Twin City amateur
player.
Waiter Wilmot, who has been spend
ing week Or so at his home in this
city, owing 60 an accident that happened
to him a short time ago, in which he
sprained his ankle SO that he has been
unable to play ball, has sufficiently re-
covered 10 return to the base ball field
this week. TO GLOBE reporter he
stated that he really had little knowl-
edge of the base ball situation, because
of the fact that a great many changes
had been made on the checker board
since he had taken an active part i'll the
play. He doubts if the claim that the
national game is about to become
merely an incident in sporting history
is well founded. for he has faith in the
pefpetuity OF base ball III this country.
The past season has been anything but
propitiuus, il is true. but fairer weather
might have found the game Ill its as
tendency.
Walter is still the holder of the Foley

was challenged for by AL Sibley. This
game .."aS q feature event and it was
won by Thayer in stubborn contest.
and by persistent and uphill playing.
Shortly after Walter Wilmot challenged
and he defeated Thayer handily.
Thayer at once challenged back, but
Wilmot's bass ball contract with the
''cid man. prevented him from playing
the return game before the close OF the
soon as Wilmot returns to st. Paul in
month or SO, this game will be played.
But it will not be the final game, how
ever, for it must be won three times
before it becomes the pernlan-
ent and undiSputeu property
of the holder. No matter
who WINS this game, in other words, the
winner will not have won but two chal-
lenge games. As it is, Thayer and Will
mot have each won game, the former
from Sibey ana the latter from Thayer.
The trophy is open to challenge by any
amateur. and Charley Capen, who has
the credit of the highest average in the
GLOBE tournament, has issued chal-

elegant challenge cup aid open to all
amateurs i'll the state.
1t is not yet definitely settled whether
the Foley billiard or the GLOBE bowl
