QUIET ON THE LINKS,
Not Much Excitement on the River
Bluffs Yesterday.

Wet grounds and humid weather were
responsible for somewhat poor golf on the
Minneapolis links yesterday afternoon.
The final round for the championship Of
the Minnikahda club resulted in a walk
over for the champion of the previous
years. G. T. Jaffray. He played the first
round in 40, which is within one stroke Of
the amateur record, and had his opponent
down at the turn.
There was not much enthusiasm dis
played over the contest for the cup pre-
sented by DR.. c. L. Greene on the Towr
and Country links yesterday afternoon.
The contest was designed to give the play
ers who have a handicap of eleven or
over an opportunity to capture a trophy,
and, naturally, the playing was not up
to the usual standard on the interurban
course: The team was in Milwaukee, and
a good gallery accompanied the players
on the trip, and this fact made the club
more deserted than is customary on a Sat
urday afternoon. The links We're in very
good condition, and the following players
qualified for the cup: ]. DEG. Berkev,

SHARKEY'S CHANCES.
Few of the followers of the ring have
ever thought that the sailor was good
enough to defeat Fitzsimmons, so If the
Cornishman wins from Rubin it will be
considered almost certain that victory
will come to him in his meeting with
Sharkey. In that little misunderstanding
between the men out in San Francisco,
Sharkey had all he wanted, and was beat
en- to a standstill. He claimed he was
fouled by EitZsimmons, but there are few
who believe 1T. Fitz is far too clever for
Sharkey, and to his cIeverness adds hit
ting power at least equal to that of the
sailor. The Rubin battle is, therefore,
the most difficult task for Fitzsimnons.
If he can win that he will likely triumph
over Sharkey, and again stand as the
greatest fighter of the age In that event
Jeffries must meet him or surrender all
claim to the championship And should
the two again meet in the squared circle.
different story may be related at the
| finish.
ERNE'S BIG TASK.

McGQvern in ten rounds, and to do it
weighing at 1S pounds, he undertook a
task the immensely of which he surely

may lnjure a hand in his battle with
Rubin, even should he win. That would
be a handicap, but under his agreement
with Sharkey he must go to the
scratch or forfeit. And Fitz has
almost invariably been unfortunate in
the matter of injury. In nearly every
big battle in which he has engaged he
has sustained injuries-sometimes rather
serious ones for g tighter. In his first
meeting with Maher Fitz broke a thumb.
He did it in the first round, but uttered
no complaint and went right along with
his work, finally winning. When he de-
feated Dan Creedon, in New Orleans,
Fitzsimmons hurt his right hand severely.
In the engagement with Dunkhorst he
sustained an injury that developed into
an abscess. So it will be seen that the
Cornishman is taking chance for defeat
with the sailor after he has finished with
Ruhlin.

FITZ THE FAVOKTTE.

Despite his defeat by Jeffries, Fitzsinl-
mons is picked to win both battles in
which he has agreed to participate as a
principal. His admirers argue that Run
lin, big and strong as he undoubtedly is,
cannot polish off the Cornishman as he
did Sharkey, for the reason that Fitz-
simmons is far too clever to permit him
self to be beaten down by a much heavier
man. The faithful are looking for a
knockout for Ruhlin though the ma
jority give him due credit for the show
ing he made in the Sharkey battle.
"S.ze cuts little figure" is the motto Of
Fitzsimmons. The bigger they are the
better 1 like It," he said upon a certain

the baseball world. Nothing like it has

ATTRACTIVE WINDOW.

Window dressing is the handmade Of
advertising. The more artistic the dis
play the more attention it attracts anu
the greater the results from it. Ira f.
Clark s. Co., are among the best adyer-
tisers In the city. Yesterday they inaugu-
rated an opening sale of fall clothing
and used half a page in all the papers to
exploit it, yet they did not forget to
turn their windows in keeping with
the ad, the stock and store.
The boys clothing department. is one
of the features OF their big store in which
they are especially interested, and no
opportunity for placing it in the right
light before the public is ever lost. The
east window has been given to an ex-
hibit from this department., ana the
window dresser has done himself and the
store credit by the manner in which he
has mingled clothing with an idea.
A juvenile fife and drum corps, with
the starry flag floating in the breeze
behind it, is the feature around which
interest centers. so lar as the little folks
are concerned and hundreds of men and
women find it picture wei worth in
