ST, PAUL AND THE WINDY
CITY
LIBERAL SUPPORT IN SIGHT

Mr.. Hoxsie Says That the Scheme Is
ton of Path to Be Built Under
Local Direction of the l.. A.. W.
Correspondence Opened With
Chief Consul Whelp1ey, of Iowa.
The plan of the L. A. w. to build a
trunk line cycle path from the Twin
Cities to Chicago. as outlined In the
Globe of recent date, meets with the
approval of wheelmen. Mr.. Hoxsie, one
of the moving spirits in the project, dis
cussing the plan last night stated that
the commercial advantages of the paths
would insure a liberal support from the
business men of each town interested.
The wheel would be a medium Of rapid
transit from the country to the village,
and in many sections would greatly ia
cilitate the rural free delivery of mail.
1.-The scheme would be entirely i'm
practicable said Mr.. Hoxsie last even
ing. ''if we proposed to build the paths
ourselves, but every path will be a local
affair, built under the direction of the head
office. Mr.. Purple gained some valuable
information regarding cycle paths or side
paths while attending the New York side
path convention, which. together with the
experience gained through the construc-
ton of the Twin City paths, will put the
work on an entirely practicable basis. The
paths will not only be used as cycle
paths, but as a sort Of side walk in the
country.
II have been in correspondence with
Chief Consul c. B. Whelpley, of Cedar
Rapids, To-, and Chief Consul H. L. Mar
shall, of Milwaukee, and we expect with
in very short time to have them work
ing on the same plan which We have
adopted They have assured us of their
fullest cooperation, and the plan is meet
ing with favor wherever it has been
preached. We have considered three
routes, but, of course, only one can be
selected. The one which seems to meet

with general consent, both among our
lwn people and the other divisions in
terested, is as follows: From st. Paul
to Pennington, Mortified, Faribault,
Owatonna, Austin, cross the state line
near lie Roy, DEBORAH, McGregor, where
the route will cross the Mississippi river
to Prairie du Chen, thence east through
the Four Lakes country, through Madi-
son, to Lake Geneva, southeast to Wau-
kegan, ILL.,, where the path will connect
with the famous Sheridan road, direct to
Chicago. We will encourage in every
way the construction of lateral paths,
radiating in all directions from the main
trunk path. I think there is no doubt
but it will be of great benefit not only to
the wheelmen, distinct class, but
the tradesmen in every little town will
reap profit from the increased facilities
for transportation.
Another route has been proposed fol-
lowing closely the Mississippi to Hast
ings, Red Wing, Lake City, Wabasha,
Winona, La Crosse, then east to Madison
and Sparta, and connect with the Sheri-
dan boulevard, which runs about fifty
miles out of Chicago. The third route
considered strikes the river aboveJnver
Grove. avoids many of the hills encoun-
tered in the ride TO Rosemount, by run
ming to Empire, Cannon Falls, Zumbrota,
Rochester, Preston, then east to La
Crosse.
IT have favored the Iowa route be-
cause it will benefit the greatest number
of people. All things considered l be-
lieve the first route is the best and most
feasible. The soil in Wisconsin is very
sandy and in Illinois the clay presents
an equally formidable barrier for the
wheelmen. With these side paths how
ever, we will be able to overcome all
what has heretofore prevented travel to
a large degree.

cations from people in the East who i'll

the northern counties While we will
not be able to build paths in that Sec
ton of the state owing to Its primary
condition and sparse settlement, we are

location of the roads and give descrip-
ton of the country"
A meeting of the executive board of the
Minnesota division will be held within
a short time, when the official route will
be decided upon and an amount sufficient
to meet the expenses of the work appro-
priated That is the league will pay for

interpose his stick or body to stop a
shoot Of the puck for goal. Great skill
on skates is necessary requisite for the
goalkeeper He has to stay right before
his goal, but when the scrimmages are
close to him he has to be everywhere in
an instant. He can stop that shooting
disk any way other than by lying down
or kneeling on the ice. Like the full
back in football, he often has little to do
except to wait and watch for threatened
score. He cannot expect. 10 shoot the
puck very far down the field when he
gets 1t. SO he must be alive to the man
Of his own team who appears to be the
least guarded. Often he has to pass 1t
off to one side, SO as to prevent another
try at goal, until he has regained his sta
ton and equilibrium.
One of the elements of golf comes in
when the play of lifting or lofting the
puck Is executed. This is accomplished
by a sort Of twisting, lifting stroke,
and when forward has this in his
repertory he is bound to make II hard
to stop the puck in its course for the
goal posts.
The disk Is stopped much easier when
it is sliding along the ice than when it
is lifted by forward into a struggling
group of skaters. Off side play In hockey,
like in football Is grave offense I'm
der no circumstances may a player pass
the puck forward to another member of
the team. He must be ION side," and so
to retain the puck without penalty the
player in possession of 1t must keep even
or abreast of the others of his team. A
few moments reflection over the rules
are sufficient to give any athlete a knowl-
edge of the requirements. The finesse Of
the game he must master by play.

outside Prof A. A. Stag is authority
for the statement that ice hockey is one
of the Lest sports that could be intro

| or school, and that Its popularity would
spread were there means to insure its
regularity, or rather Its independence
from climatic conditions. That the
University of Chicago would vie with
Yale or any Of the Eastern institutions
that have taken kindly to ice hockey,
if it had a rink provided with an artl-
fetal ice machine, Is a certainty. But
the incongruity Of the Maroon scheduling
a series of contests, say for the sec,
ond week in January, assuring the Wis
itng team a guarantee, only to find
that the weather was warm enough
to make canoes or ffoatboats more
stylish than skates, must appeal to the
reader. What is true of Chicago is
true of Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois
and other Western universities. In the
East the rich men have not neglected
their alma mater 'varsities, 1t would
appear, for there is a most healthy
interest in the game whether the win>
ter be mild or rigorous.

All the good that can come to the
athletes constitution from healthy exer-

hockey. Ralph Hoagland, the old-time
Princeton football player, who mas
achieved a reputation for being a good
man in other lines of sport, once de-
clared to me that he used to glory in
football, that he raved over baseball, and
subsequently became quite as crazy over
golf as airy Scotch player, but the real
bright spot of his active career In sports
was his play on the Tigers ice hockey
team Hockey, in many respects, is a
game that football players may adapt
themselves to-providing, Of course, that
they can skate. The player must be

Meat Eating Nations Are the Lead

The ruling nations Of the world are
meat eaters, and history records that

Vegetarians and food cranks may ex-

the facts remain that the Americans,
English, French, Russians and Germans
are meat eating nations, and they are
also the most energetic and most pro-

The principal food of the heroic Boer
soldier known as Biltong, is sort OF
dried beef, affording a great deal OF
nourishment in a highly concentrated

thusiaism to cause team to be formed.
The sons of Eli went to Canada to play,
and were beaten, of course, by the
Canadian experts. But from that begin
ming hockey has grown into recognized
legitimate United States sport.
1t might be well to say that hockey
is played on an ice field, shaped like a
football or lacrosse field with side lines
in Kinks these are the edges Of the Kinks.
There Is a goal at each end. The puck,
a fat vulcanized rubber disk, three inches
in diameter, is used instead of ball As
the puck slides easily on the ice surface,
something like stone in curling, most Of
the play is done by passing 1t from one
players stick to another, instead Of
striking at 1t, as the polo player does at
the white wooden ball. The hockey stick
Is Of hardwood, with a long blade that
gives 1t a rest of about a foot on the

through the four-foot goal posts, set in
the ice six feet apart.

Harry Perkins captured two Of the four
Western championship skating contests
at Lake Como Yesterday afternoon
against very fast field. Louis Johnson,
the old-time favorite, won the 1,5oo-meter
race, and Tom McGeever took the middle
distance event.
The finishes in all the events We're
particularly exciting, although no very
remarkable time was made IN any OF
the races. The ice was pretty well track
ed over with snow, and the light hurrles
of the beautiful helped to make the
course somewhat heavy. Perkins, the
winner of the short and long distance
events, worked hard for his two victories,
and did most Of the skating in each event.
He was willing to take the pace and win
the race. George Sudheimer, who holds
all the fast amateur bicycle records, came
so close to taking first place in two
events that the result was only decided
by a very close decision by the judges.
Sudheimer played in bad luck in each OF
the four races. In the neighborhood OF
5000 people witnessed the contests To-
day the tournament will conclude with a
special paced race and a handicap event.
The officials were as follows: Referee,

the latter will be in the circuit. even II
Providence comes in Detroit may be
