ATHLETIC CLUB FIELD DAY.
There Is Some Lively Sport Prom
Used for Tomorrow.

The entries for the field and track
meeting of the St. Paul Athletic club
have been coming IN rapidly, especially
for the open events, which will be the
one mile run, 220-yard dash, 12O-yard
hurdle, pole vault, standing high jump,
standing hop, step and jump and possibly
some others. The members events are
pretty well filled. the entries so far run
ming from six to ten for each event No
entry fee will be charged the contest
ants in any. of the events, so that their
opportunities will not be in any way
curtatled by finances. The club Is using
every; effort to make the meeting a sue
cess, both to the contestants and spec
tators, and from the rivalry which ex-
lists between some Of the local amateurs
together with their past records, some
good performances are assured. The BIZ
cycle races are closed, but any amateur
of repute who Is DESTROYS of entering can
do so, the club issuing to him a limited
membership card free of charge. This is
equivalent to leaving the bike races open
which will be hailed by several good To-
cal riders who have not the good for
tune to be regular members of the club
The latter arrangement is resorted to
owing to the fact that sanction received
from the L. A. w. covered only closed
events, whereas the club finally decided
to leave them open. but too late to obtain
a new sanction.
The games will be held at Lexington
park tomorrow afternoon, 2:30 D. M, and
the members of the club and their friends
will doubtless turn out in full force. En-
tries will be received at the club rooms
up to Saturday.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Gen. AIger
says that If there should be call for
volunteers it would not be for more than
10000 men, and perhaps not more than
5000. He had long conference with the
president after Gen. Otis cablegram, and
after its close announced that probabili-
ties were strongly against call for more
troops. Gen. Otis will have "a, 900 regulars
after the voluteers all return, and the re-
naming 5000 can probably be raised at

US into contact with every class and
condition Of Cuban citizenship, and we
regret to report that qualities and char
acteristics have been revealed in the
prosecution Of these Investigations which
are not ereditable to any people. Ninety
five per cent of the claims considered

Unmindful of the fact that the United

still we find these people demanding that
rent be paid them by the United States
for land which American soldiers occu-
ties around Santiago. Worse still. they
complained bitterly that their fields
should be disfgured by the temporary
graves of our peerless heroic dead They
have also endeavored to make the Unit

losses for which Cuban and Spanish
armies were responsible, the damage be-
ing done long before the American army

NOVEL CASE ON.
President Asked to Intercede for a
Banished Russian.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The president
has been appealed to by Adolph Lipszyc,
a veteran of the civil war, to intercede
for him with the Russian government and
secure a pardon for him. The appeal
was made to the president on Decoration
day by Lipszyc, who bears many wounds,
and was breveted in 1863 a first lteuten-
ant for gallant service in the Union army.
;Lipszyc came to- the United States in
1858; served in the Union army and was
afterwards clerk in Washington. In
1866 he went to Russia to obtain his por-
ton of his fathers estate. He was ar
rested and convicted on the sole charge
that he had become an American citizen
without the consent of the Russian gov
eminent Secretary Bard protested that
this was in violation of treaty stipula-
lions, and that the United States would
not consent to recognize the right of a
nation to deprive a naturalized citizen
Of his rights, but nothing came of the
protest and the Russian government ban
ished Lipszyc and deprived him Of his
property rights.

teams. The Athletics defeated Jordan

SOME BASE BALL TALK.

The league has suffered another bad
blow in the prohibition of Sunday ball
at indianapolis. This means that the
clubs will either have to play Indianapo-
lis on their own grounds or fill dates with
exhibition games.
The victory of yesterday can not be
attributed to the cartoon of a Wednes-
day evening paper, because the team had
gone before the paper came out.
Can It be that the absence Of Manager
Corniskey had anything to do with the
success of the Saints? Perhaps he was
not on the bench to order bunts at criti-
cal times.
