him that he needed absolute rest for at

ought to know, for they put in over an hour
in inspecting Fits damaged bones under
the searching glare of the wonderful Roent-

Sherman house, and he sent for DR.. Nc

Doctor, there's something wrong with INV

HANDBALL SEMI-FINALS.
Swanson Bests Whitmore In an Ex-
citing Contest.

The trials and semi-fnals in the handball
tournament for the single handed champion
ship were played last evening at the gym
nasium of the st. Paul Athletic club, and, as
was expected. resulted in some Of the finest
games ever played in the city. The best
talent in the city at handball is found in
the club and they were all entered to COM
pete for the gold badge offered by the club
embematic of the championship. Every
game was interesting. but it was not until
the club cracks. W. B. Swanson and Capt
Whitmore came together that every one
leaned forward in his seat.
The first game. although finely contested
throughout. was won by Swanson by score
of q to 4. During this game both men exc
cuted some of the most difficult plays ever
seen on court, and brought out consider
able applause.
The second game close at all times
the return work of Whitmore from the back
wall being simply marvellous at times, while
Swanson played every inch of the court and
frequently earned applause by killing" the
ball from the rear wall.

finals ard he and Swanson will play off for

BETTING ON THE MATCH.
Money Is Being Posted on the Big
Wrestling Contest.

Money Is Being Posted on the Big
Wrestling Contest.
Both Duncan Mcmillan and D. B.
Mcintyre are training hard for their
wrestling match with Hall Adali,, who
has failed to find his match in Ameri
ca. Mcintyre has established his train
ing quarters at the Norwegian Turn
ers' society, Minneapolis, where he is
doing hard and faithful work under the
direction of Theo. Sjunensen. His
daily routine opens with siX-mile
walk in the open air. This is follow
ed by an hour or two of hard gymna-
SUM work. Later in the day Mcintyre
wrestles for an hour against any one
who will go on the mat with him.
Mcmillan writes from Duluth that
he also. Is working hard and expects
to be ready for the contest of his life
next Tuesday night. The big Turk is
in Chicago. He will arrive in Mime
apolis Saturday and will stop at the
West hotel, while in the city.
That great interest is taken in the
coming match by the sporting frater
nifty and the public generally is evil
denced by the number of bets which
have already been made on the result
of the contest. A number of wagers
have been made at even money. but
there is also considerable money offer
ed at 10 to 8, that the Turk will not
fulfill his part of the contract. 1t is
argued that the Turk failed to throw
Mcleod at st. Paul twice within an
hour, although Mcleod was over sixty
pounds lighter than the big Oriental.
The Turk also failed to throw Farmer
Burns and Rooney, the Chicago grip
man. four times in ninety minutes.
Mcmillan and Mcintyre, it is thought,
will be fully as tough propositions as
Burns and Rooney.
The employees of the street car COM
pany pin their faith to Mcintyre to q.
man. ard several wagers have been
offered that Mcintyre will last longer
against the Turk than Mcmillan.
George Siler the noted referee, has
been telegraphed and in all probability
will referee the match. Perry Werden
and A. A. Hansen, the long-distance
cyclist, will probably be time keepers
1t is expected that Farmer Burns. as
well as Mcleod, will be behind McMil-
Ian anG Mcintyre Tuesday night and
give them the benefit of his experience
with the Turk.
The sale of seats for the match will
open Saturday morning at Tibbils,
Ryan hotel and Robert street cigar
stores.

Whiting a few days a programme of
stake events will be prepared and an
agent sent to the winter tracks for the
purpose of obtaining entries. AS yet
there has been no agreement between
Mr.. Fitzgerald and the Ryan syndi-
cate. which controls Harlem. and Fitz-
gerald asserts that he has no knowl-

track. 1t is taken for granted, how
ever. that if Hawthorne opens Harlem
will not be permitted to remain idle,

declare that there is now nothing in

vent his opening the track or permit
