CHICAGo's GLAD HAND.

mot.

The Western league season is at an end,
and Walter Wilmot. with his band of Min
neapOlis braves, has won the flag. The
triumph of the Minneapolis team Is JOY

News Of that city, and they have the pleas
could get no better than fifth position, another
team made up of old friends and managed
ny an old favorite, has won goodly share
Of the laurels Of the Western field.
Wilmot's victory is, really, the talk Of
the rooters. Aside from the natural feeling
in favor of Walter, the winning was itself
a noteworthy thing. Wilmot, an utter
stranger to the Western league went into
new territory, put together a team-almost
entirely on his OWN judgment-and won the
flag.
Wilmot, nervous, excitable little man,
was the target of the bleachers here for six
long years. The crowds liked him immense
ly, and his place has not yet been filled, but
he could never understand that the boots
and gibings of the bleacherS were not per-
Eonal insults but simply expressions Of jo-
vial good fellowship. He was delighted
when the chance came to get away from
Chicago, and devoted himself heart and soul
to the job of getting together a winning team
for Minneapolis.
He did nobly and showed the benefit of
Anson's training In every move Hutchinson
Willie the eX-great, who had fallen from
grace in this city-was obtained, and Hutch
won that flag. Willie had been a loser for
four years in the big league. He had the
speed, the curves, the talent-he lacked
heart and sand When he went into the
Western he despised the company he had to
pitch against. He calculated that he could
sweep that gang off the face of the earth
with wave OF his right armand he did.
He has had fun with his victims all sum
mer, and wholly because the nerve that
failed him in the big league was dominant
against the smaller fellows
Walter hunted around till be got Schriver

battery, he built his team around them. The
result was a nine that. compared with Soma

GREAT work ON rANDEMs.
Five Teams Smash Record at San
Francisco,

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Sept. 27.-The Bay
City wheelmen conducted a most remarkable
tandem road race today. Six teams started,
and ali finished under the previous record for
FIVE miles, 1913 held by the Lagan brothers,
of Philadelphia. George r. Dixon and Charles
Krafts rode the five miles in 1922 As, and
the other Ave teams finished close behind
them. The conditions of the race were that
the teams should start separately five min
utes apart, and ride unpaced The start was
a standing one, and the timing was accurate
and according to the necessary regulations.
The time made by the other teams was as
follows:
Grif1ths and Davidson, 1925; E. D. and j.
A. Mendle, 10:49 3-5: S. d. Vincent and Au-
gust Kanzce, 1880; T. S. Hall and A. j. Men

ber,- 11:25 2-5.
AS the American flying start, unpaced, track
tandem record is AS, the speed at which these
riders went may be imagined. B. c. Ray
maud, of the Bay City Wheelman. started
out ON single wheel behind Dixon and
Krafts. He could stick to the tadem only
for a mile however. Raynaud then went on
alone and finished the ten miles in 1902 2-5.

as shrinkage is the rule. Mr.. Roberts
examined some of the corn and was
surprised to find that seven-eighths of
the grain had popped open and were
capped with the white pulp as though
they had been in the fire. Some of the
corn tastes as sweet as when newly
popped, but the greater part of it is
dry and tasteless. The phenomenon is
attributed to the hot weather that pre-
vailed two or three weeks ago. The
