Tom Foley calls into question the
| judgment of the bowler who suggested
the personnel of the GLOBES worlds
fair team as published in these columns
| last Sunday. Indeed, he is SO certain
| that the team so named is weak ag-
| gregation that he has issued a challenge
to it to play team OF ten, that he will
select, for $50 side. This proposition
has been called, and the money will be
posted the coming few days. The con-
ditions are that one game shall be
played on Foley's alleys, one on
Amort's alleys. and third on inde--
pendent ground. These contests Will
certainly create no little amount of ex-
element, for it will bring together the
very best talent in the city. and several
of the players named in the GLOBE OF
Sunday declare their desire to wager
goodly sums on the side that they will
win. The games will likely be played
next week.
Foley has opened his books for entries
in the midsummer billiard tournament
for amateurs. Handicap allowances
Will be made, and it will be sweep
stake affair. A stipulated entrance fee,
for illustration, will be paid in by each
candidate, and this money will be added
to the purse of $50 that will be hung up
by Foley. The exact amount of the en-
trance has not yet been determined.
This matter is held in allegiance for the
purpose of getting an expression or
preference from the young men who
will participate in the event. Some have
already declared themselves in favor of
certain amounts, but Mr. Foley has con-
cluded that the more satisfactory solu-
ton of the problem will be to allow the
majority Of the players to fix the en-
trance, and this will probably be done
as soon as the entry is complete.

There is no foundation for the report that
the ST. Paul cycle club contemplales dis
banding. President Cornwall is authority
for the statement that the club is now in
better and more prosperous circumstances
than ever before in the history OF the organ
ization. Plans are now being formulated for
the summer campaign. and some rare sport
is promised. There will be races and long
distance rides and the like, and IT Is conf
IDENTITY predicted that some OF the present
records of the Northwest will be broken be-
fore cold weather sets in.

Every admirer of athletic sport in the
Northwest is looking forward to the field day
games at Wildwood on Decoration day with
no little zest. 1t will be under the auspices
of the Phoenix Athletic club, and $1,000 in
prizes will be awarded to the winners OF the
events. This will by long odds exceed any
thing of the kind ever attempted in the
Northwest. The programme has already ap-
peared in these columns. Besides the prizes
that are to be awarded by the Phoenix club,
it should be explained, the merchants ana
business men are coming literally to the
front with trophies to be contested for, This
is very gratifying indication that the, pub
lie appreciates the endeavor OF the club to
stimulate healthful and recreative sports
