TOURNAMENTS ON THE CARD.

Minnesota Boat Clubs Annual
Outing Tomorrow-Ihe Maber-
Dobbs Match-Dick Moore's
Opponent Game and Fast
Roundup of Sporting Iatters
of Interest.
The weather is such now that the,
young athletes of the city are returning
to the bowling alleys, and the clubs of
last season are all reorganiZipg for the
winters play. There will be at least
two interesting tournaments. One will
be at Foley's. and the other will be at
Dryers, in Minneapolis. Dwyer has
elegant alleys, and there are many ex-
pert b0wlers in that city. 1t is proposed
to have Twin City series. each city to
have like number of teams in the play
and the games alternate between the
alleys in Minneapolis and st. Paul.
The season in this city will be prac-
ticaliy opened Tuesday evening. 1t will
be iDaugurated by the Summit club, the
winner of the GLOBE trophy of last
year. The club will have a regular
weekly practice game on the night men,
toned. The University club, the Sec
ond organization in the finals. and the
club that outplayed all rivals in the
original series, Is also preparing for the
winters campaign, and is playing on
the University avenue alleys. The
Wabasha club has kept up its organiza-
tiOn and is ready for play, and the
Phoenix Athletic club has been reorgan-
lied with better material, and Will keep
all the other aggregations guessing. Be-
sides these, the famous Nushkas, win
ners of the GLOBE emblem of two years
ago, promise to be III the swim, and,
like the Minnesota Boat club, they are
exceedingly hard to beat.
II
Probably the most notable event of
the present week will be the annual
picnic excursion of the Minnesota B at
club. The organization has a sort OF an
arrangement whereby all the members
OF the club who meet with the ludicrouS
accident of capsiZing during the season
have to bear the expense of the picnic.
Heretofore the picnic has been held
somewhat earlier in the season, but
this time it will occur on Labor day.
That will be tomorrow. The members
of the club, together with their friends.
will go up the river to point near Fort
Smelling and spend the afternoon in
pleasures of the usual outing character.
They will go in their shells, gigs. work
ing boats, baraeS and the like. Re-
freshments will be on the card. and
there Is no gaiDSaying the certainty that
1t Will prove happy event.

Yesterday Billy Maber went ont
TO Bass lake to begin training
for his twenty'round contest WIN
Bobby Dobbs, the colored light
weight, to occur before the Twin
City Athletic club on the evening of the
2lSt: This promises to prove one of the
most interesting scientific glove con-
tests that has been put Oil in the North
west: Both men are shifty and sci
Sntlhc, and spar much on the same Or
ger. The nan that is defeated will
lose a great deaf of the prestige that is
now enjoyed, and for this reason, If it
were not for the financial advantage
tnat goes with victory, each will do
ms level best. Dobbs, by the way. has
been called a welterweight in the re-
ports of late. This is mistake. for he
usually enters the ring at l3G pounds.
he Is rated high on the Pacific coast.
where he has met all the best OF 'em in
MS class, and where he defeated Char
ley johnson. Tyler, of Minneapolis. is
