BISMARCK, N. D., Sept 15.-The North
Dakota crop report says: The weather con-
ditions during the past week were fairly IA
vorable for threshing up to about the last
two days, when rain in scattered sections in
terfered with its progress to some extent.
Some reports indicate threshing as about half
done, while in some localities ii is less adj
vanced, especially over the northeastern
counties. where cool weather and heavy rains
retarded the ripening of grain and rendered
harvest late. In nearly all counties the har-
vest of late sown grain Is well along, but in
grain, especially wheat, is ripening very slow
Iy. and much is yet to cut. Fall blowing is in
progress where the condition of the soil will
permit, in some places it being too wet and
in others too hard and dry. Heavy frost is
reported as having occurred in few sections
on the nights of the 10th and 18th. In Cass
county 1t caused considerable injury to corn
and killed vines and garden crops. In La
Moure county a killing frost occurred but
no injury was done to crops which were far
enough advanced toward maturity to be out
of danger of injury. Crops in Stark county
suffered less damage from killing
frost on the night of the 10th. The condi-
tiOn of the corn crop generally is reported as
being very good. and il the crop In the north
ern sections of the state escapes injury from
frost for few days, it will be a large one
Oats will generally be a light crop. owing
to the great damage caused by rust. Potatoes
promise a very fair yield to quality and

both be fair crop. Flax also promises to be
a very good crop, some Of which is still grow

National Club Not Very Eager for
81 49, His Fight With .Corbett. ~

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept, 15.-The position
taken by the National Athletic club in the
matter OF the Corbett -Sharkey contest oc-
casioned very little surprise among the
sporting men here, as that organization lost
It's prestige by It's failure to bring off the
Mayer Choynski battles FBoth Groom and
Gibbs hedge their offers about with lot of
conditions which made II exceedingly i'm
probable that the contest will ever take place
here. ]. j. Groom says that under no cir
eumstance will the organization now offer
more than $4,000 for the Corbett-Sharkey
contest. and admits that he would not be a.
bit sorry If the fight should be pulled off
under the auspices Of some other club. Gibbs
says the fight is not worth as much as it was
week ago, or before Corbett signed to fight
Fitzsimmons: but the club made bona fide
offer of 500, 000 and is willing to stand by
1t. He says there are two places where the
fight can be brought off, but for business
reasons does not to give their names.
He practically admits that the reason for
requiring the two. pugilists to make such
large deposits is that the club expects to
sell concessions to the kaleidoscope people,
and to receive subsidies sufficiently large
the contest takes place to pay the purse.
Then the expenses of the pavilion. which
will be comparatively small, will be paid
out of the receipts. The rest will be profit.
In order to make advantageous terms, the
National club must give guarantee that the
tight will take place, and to avoid any risk
the club wants the pugilists to put up their
coin. Then if the expected arrangements as
to subsidies do not materialize, 1t Will not
have to put up its own $4,000 at the end of
ten days.;

chances for playing in the Free Press cup
series went glimmering this afternoon, and
Minneapolis hold on the pennant became as
tight as the grip Of very lively lobster. 1t
had been thought that the Tigers could ne
gotiate successfully with any of the visiting
clubs pitchers outside Of Hutchinson. but
such idea was fallacy, for Parker and
Figgemeier were almost invincible this after
noon, and the shivering locals were almost at
sea in both games. The Minneapolis club
played wonderful ball fielding perfectly with
the exception Of one tumble in the first inn-
ing, and piling up six lightning doubles. Wer-
den, Connors and Pickett helped their club on
to the championship while the only sharp
plays for Detroit were those OF DUNCAN and
Hines. In pitching DIR. Parker was in a
class by himself. He has been here before,
and, while with the Grand Rapids team. took
his medicine like any other flrst-class man in
bad company, but today he had revenge by
shutting the Detroits out Figgemeier was
very successful, and pitched mastery ball
Figgemeier let Nicholson walk in the first
inning and Burnett forced him. Conners
juggled Dungan's grounder and hits by Gilen
and Whistler sent in pair. The visitors
were not at all backward, Preston starting off
with hit. Lallys fly was dropped by Bur-
nett. and Wilmots bunt went safe, filing the
bases. Schriver's foul didn't help any, but
Werden's fine single sent in pair, and Pick
inning there was batting rally that sickened
the admirers of the locals. Werden banged
three-bagger to- the right center fence and
Picket sent one to the left field fence. Then
10 make 1t worse for the bleacherites Connors
knocked the ball to the club house, five hun
dred feet away and made an easy home run.
These were Minneapolis last runs but they
won the game Hits by Whistler and Hines
and two plays gave Detroit another one.
In the second game Wilmot made hit off
Egan the first inning and went around on
errors by Stallings and Hines in handling it,
In the second. Brunette muffed Werden's fly
and he scored on Pickett's high one. Connors
kuehne and Parker made singles and Lally a
double, swelling the total to four. In the
eighth Werden went to second on Hines err
ror and scored on Pickett's fly and Connors'
grounder AS for the Detroits, they never
had chance; in fact not a man reached
Parker had them at his mercy and pitched
as though he were in the cup series right
now A double and three singles was the
sum total of the hitting, and the sharp field
ing or the visitors prevented any scoring
through mistakes. Score of the first game:

though delayed by local rains and

frost. 1t is good crop and much of it
cut. Flowing going on, though in many
places the ground Is very dry. In the

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Sept Is
The Saints were defeated in two sharp
games this afternoon. The local team
has been strengthened with the pick
of Deacon Ellis New York team, pen
nant winners in the Atlantic associ-
alton, and the effect Of the new blood
was most marked. The first game, a
sharp contest of eleven innings lasting
but an hour and three-quarters, was
practically given to the home team
by little Kraus, who failed to attempt
sure double play. He thought that
two men were out when but one had
been retired, and he threw to the wrong
place, allowing a run to score that
would have been cut off had the second
baseman been in the game Grand
Rapids won the game in the eleventh
inning with a home-run drive by f.
Donovan, which scored three runs with
meme out. Slagle, Ellis recent acquisi-
ton from the Western association,
pitched phenomenal ball, letting the
Saints down with seven hits in the
eleven innings, the locals securing but
thirteen hits off Frieken, who, however,
weakened under the strain in the last
inning of the game.
In the second game Mcbride and Den
ger were the opposing pitchers and both
were wild, Denzer being more so than
his opponent. In the six innings played
before it became dark, he gave six
bases on balls, and both of the runs
made by the locals resulted from lives
so given. In the second game Glass
cock exchanged bon mots with Umpire
Manassau, and, after being plastered
literally with fines, was set on the
bench and threatened with expulsion
from the grounds. Mullane played a
good game at first, but the team was
materially weakened by the loss of the
hard-hlttlng old man. Rasty Wright
celebrated his return to his old stamp
ing grounds by making home run in
the first inning. The features of the
game were the fielding of Mcbride, Gill
MAN and HoIlingsworth and the batting
OF Donovan, who in four times at the
bat In the two games made three hits.

cases sending in the winning run. Score

reporter. Il hardly believe that any
OF our Western states will furnish such
a complete surprise next November.
In fact, while 1 believe Bryan will be
hopelessly beaten, the hardest kind of
work is necessary to drive the false
sentiment for which he stands out OF
the public mind. A number of
the Western states, for instance
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri and
Michigan, are still to be classed in the
doubtful column, and we look to the
East to make Bryan's defeat certain"
