talked thusly of the English lads de-
feat before he sailed for England:
Late events in the prize ring prove that
these are the days of the fighter rather
than the boxer. The man who Is there
with a good stiff punch and has GER
tain amount of ability as boxer is the
winner nowadays. This country is far
ahead of England in the fiehtin~ line.
as the old style of our men is useless
when up against your best ones over
here OF course we are handicapped by
the way you folks interpret the rules.
Did YOU notice the terrible body blows
McGovern got in on Palmer Just before
the first Touchdown? This was new to
our man. but he had been told what TO
expect When men are together that way
in the ring in England they are supposed
to back out just as they do here when
fully clinched. In England a man would
have been disqualified If he had deliv-
cred blows as McGovern did then, but
as these are the rules under which you
folks fight we have no fault to lind.

taking n great interest in the survivors
run to be given by the Country Road
club next Sunday. Entries are coming
in fast, and from all present indications

that have never ridden a century have
expressed their desire to go, and the pace
will be slow enough to permit any per-
son to make thu run in the fourteen-hour
limit. in fact, entries have been received
from a number that have never ridden a
great distance, but, anticipating a days
enjoyment and chance for a survivors
medal, have decided to make trial, and
the chances are, considering the good
roads and season of the year, they will
be successful. The medals are very pref
ty souvenirs, and all those finishing will
have something to remember a pleasant
days outing, and that they accomplished
the feat of riding a century. 1t is re-
Cuested that all entries be sent to James
McIirath Buckingham before the morn
ing of the run, SO that a prompt start
will be made at a. m. checking card

st. Paul Athletics UItImatum to the
Hastings Team.
Snnrtine Editnr of the Glohe

Sporting Editor of the Globe:
We wish to reply to challenge which
appeared in your paper Sept. TO- In which
the Hastings base ball club offered to
play US a game of base ball, and bet $50
to 500 on the result, provided the game be
played at Hastings. We would not play
them at Hastings under any circum-
stances, as we feel sure that we would
not receive fair treatment at their hands
If they really want to play US a game
and are not too one sided in their views
CT equality regarding where the game
should be played, let them accept this
proposition from us, which we believe to
be fair to them and in which we feel as
sured the public will back us up We will
play game with the Hastings team next
Sunday for any amount of money they
want to put UP and all the gate receipts,
the game to be played at Minneapolis,
Saltwater or. Hudson. Wis. We do not
offer to play them at st. Paul for the rea-
son that we want none the best of il in
any way, shape or manner. Candidly
think the Hastings people are in earnest
regarding their desire to play u.s. and
would not pay any attention to their chal-

JACK" CROOKS HIRE
FORMER PRIDE OF LOWER TOWN
BALL FIELDS PAYS ST.
PAUL A VESTT
NEW AMERICAN A WINNER

That Is the Prediction OF Mr.. Crooks,
Cigar Salesman, BASED on a Long
Experience on the Professional
Dfaraond-The National League
IEas Been Playing the HOG Too
Long.
''WeI, Charley Crooks, as I live" ex-
cla:med Judge Egan, cordially, as he ex-
tended his hand to a stalwart young fellow
on East Fourth street yesterday, the in
dividual thus greeted being none other
than the one who is known to the fans
of the nation as Jack Crooks, a second
baseman recently, and a cigar salesman
now, but in bis ot.nef a star at nearly
every position in the base bail field.
When d Glo reporter met the for
mer lion of the st. Louis bleachers, where
he was usually addressed by the appella-
ton King" his first question was:
How do they like the new American
league up here?"
Being informed that Manager Comislzey
and possibly others We're not favorab.y
suppressed with the new project, Mr..
Crooks, now of the mercantile, replied:
THAT new leagues a 60 Don't you
ever make a mistake about that. The
National league has been playing the hog
long enough. They don't want a twelve
club league themselves, but they're keep
ing it up because they don't want to let
anyone else set into the towns where they
nave wrecked base ball by cheapening the
game to a point where people do not
care TO pay their money to see it. They
say the interest in the game is falling
off, and so around with their faces black
talking about people not coming out to
see them What do they expect when they
try to get men to play base ball for $50
a month? They can't get the right kind
of talent at that price, and they ought
to know 1t. They say they can't afford
to pay higher salaries because the crowds
don't come like they used to. Why don't
they pay the salaries, and play the ball
they used to, and they would find the
fans coming out alright
Are you out of the game permanent
ly?" was asked.
For this season" replied Jack" with
q smile. You see in the cigar business
the season is longer. In fact I'm still
working, and the pennant has been won,
in the Western league at least, for some
days now. OF course, ii the new league
braces things up for the players in a
financial way, as it ought to, l can't say
but what I might be tempted back on
the field by one of the od-time salaries.
Blu, ! like the cigar business pretty well,
as things stand.
Mr.. Charles j. Crooks, of the mer-
camille returned to st. Louis last even
ing, after a brief visit with relatives at
his old home in this city. The visit was
partly on pleasure bent and partly for
business, his companion on the trip being
Henry Epstein, prominent st. Louis
wholesale merchant.

One OF tIie Best Was Sailed in Strong
EasterIy Breeze.


Easterly Breeze.
NEW YORK, Sept 23-In strong
easterly breeze that made the water
IQmpy off Sandy Hook today, Sir Thomas
Liptons yacht Shamrock sailed one OF

There was also considerable windward
work the yacht going the distance from
Scotland light to a mark off Elbcrston
light in 1:0S:00. The reach back was made
in 1:12:00. The distance was covered in
2:20:0o, or at the rate of nearly twelve
miles an hour The yacht carried her
club top sail throughout the trial all
though her lee wake was often awash
In the trip 1t took her nearly five minutes
to pass one of the crack schooners of
a fishing feet, which met her on her way
out.
Casting off at 1905 the Shamrock was
sent over to the Long Island shore and
put through a preliminary spin of one
hour and five minutes While waiting for
the Erin to come out. AS soon as Design
CT Fife went aboard the trial began ii

Scotland light ship at 1850. The outward

and blocked surely, and some spectacular
runs resulted, Hamill once carrying the
ball for q touchdown after run of 1G3

straight football, using her fast heavy
backs for long runs around Knox's rather
weak ends, varied by occasional line
bucks. Knox found Chicago's right side
rather weak and made several good gains
there.
