Two Urchins, Policeman, Druggist
and a Crowd

A big policeman stood on the corner, lean
ing up against lamp post trying to kill
time until 1t was the hour for him to pull
In at his signal box. 1t was upon a corner
or Wabasha street on the west side OF the
river. Within brilliantly lighted drug store
was crowd Of thirty folks standing in front
OF the soda fountain, vainly attempting to
quench their thirst with things which were
freshments. The policeman idly hammered
the lamp post with his baton, and eyed the
crowd.
Two small boys entered the store and
pushed through the crowd to the cigar coun-
ter. Both should have been in bed, as Ii
was 10 o'clock. One of the lads was, per-
and bare legs denoted child of working
parents. The other lad was perhaps, thir-
teen years old. The younger was the spokes-
man and apparently the leading spirit
How much be them cigars, mister?" he
asked the bald headed proprietor.
Three for quarter" was the answer.
Gimme three" The boy reached up on
tiptoe and laid a quarter upon the showcase.
The ladies and gentlemen in the store looked
at the proprietor to see If he would refuse.
Did he? Not he.
could. and with great effort managed to
cut off the ends of all three cigars by using
a patent arrangement which looks like q
pig with It's mouth open.
Gimme some Matches
He secured what he asked for, and with
his companion left the store, saying, as he
went out. Gosh, but we will have great
smoke
Every one looked In surprise at the pro-
prietor, but of course, he was looking the
other way. He saw nothing but the quarter.
The little man with the cigars walked out
to the curb stone, and by awkward attempts
managed to light one of the weeds. and then
strutted off with his thumbs under his tiny
suspenders. The big policeman smiled and
thought it was all very funny, although he
must have seen the little fellow buy the to-
bacco.
one in the store the big policeman, too, yes,
and the reporter as well, knew that the pro-
prietor of the place was violating the law
in selling tobacco to those children. But not
one offered any objection. Why? Simply be-
cause they were waiting for some one else
to do it. 1t was. of course, funny to see the
tiny little man ape the big man, yet it was
odd that three or four mothers In the crowd
did not see another side to the incident.

FLEETS WILL MEET.
Contests Between White Bear and
MinnetomIKa Yachts.


1t is altogether probable that the interlake
races between the White Bear and Mnnetonka
crack yachts will open at Lake Minnetonka
on Aug. %. Such was the date decided upon
yesterday by the committees of the White
Bear and Minnetonka Yacht clubs. The COM
mittee of the former club comprises Messrs
Grfggs, Drake, WEIGH and Commodore Dean
and the Minnetonka club was represented
by Messrs. Peet, Lang, Ramsey and Morrison
The committee decided that all boats in
order to participate In the race must be en-
tered ten days in advance of the date of the
first race, which is to take place Aug. 25
The Alfrida will unquestionably represent
the White Bear yachts of the first-class hav-
ing repeatedly demonstrated her superiority
over her competitors during the present sea-
son. The selection of a cat boat to represent
the White Bear feet is occupying consider
able attention. There are two or three cat
boats that are considered worthy of the honor
among them the Esmeralda which is we'll
thought of. In order to ensure the best selec-
ton, there will be a series of cat boat races
at White Bear next week, and the boat max
ing the best record will be chosen to sail
against the Minnetonka cat boat "Pinafore -
which easily eclipsed all rivals in the White
Bear contest last year. There is some talk
of rigging one Of the sloops as cat boat to
represent the White Bear fleet In that event
it Is possible that Commodore Dean would
allow the alteration to be made in the Kath-
leen and permit her to sail in that class 1t
is equally possible that the Minnetonka yachts
men might adopt the same tactics.

WiImOt Thankful to Get Out of
Grand Rapids So Well.

Special to the Globe.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. 5.-The two
teams played rather a see-saw game this
afternoon, and it was no ones game until the
last man was out. Hutchinson, although wild,
held the locals down fairly well, and struck
out four of the men at times when work was
most needed. The weather was frightfully
warm; in fact the warmest day this summer
and both teams seemed affected by it, neither
side putting much ginger into the playing.
Minneapolis broke even in the series here,
and Walter Wilmot feels that the club did
well, now that Grand Rapids has been mate
rally strengthened in several positions. Near
ly 1000 people were in attendance, and all
enjoyed the contest. Minneapolis started the
ball rolling, and in the first three innings
came across the plate four times by oppor-
tune hitting and one or two rank errors by
the home team In the third the locals tied
the score, securing four hits, aided by the
error of Connors, who by the way, has not
put up the usually good games he is capa-
bic of. In the sixth Minneapolis made three
more runs after two men were out and the
third chance offered to retire the side. The
following innings stopped the run-getting for

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 5.-Detroit

leaders in the race for the Western
league pennant this afternoon. The

hand in the game and presented De-
troit with at least two of the runs

Nicholson a three-bagger in the first,
and he came home on Dungan's hard
drive to Pickett, which the latter
could not field to the plate in time to

lowed Burnett to reach first and
Thomas to score. Burnett went to
third on Dungan's single and started
for home when the latter drew a
throw to second. Pickett got the ball
back and Spies had it on Burnett sew

three more for Detroit in the sixth.

Georges poor throw and two bases on
