THE L. a. w. may be one of the
factors in the demands for indem-
mites made upon Turkey by the
department. of state. A claim is be-
ing pushed by tie league for $4,000
for the death OF Frank Lenz, who was
murdered by Kurds while on a trip-a-
wheel around the world
Arrangements have again been per-
fected with the Canadian customs Of
ficials whereby members of the league
are allowed to cross the border with
out payment of the duty, and it is eX-
rected that this will be taken advan-
tyge of pretty generally this summer.
George Gould, the famous million
aire, is II most enthusiastic wheelman,
and while no wonderful sprinter is an
easy, graceful rider. He generally
rides a Spalding chainless, and has the
cycling craze in the highest degree.
He is fond of athletics generally, but
the wheel is his favorite diversion.

Sporting SQuibS.

A G. SPALDING has been appoint
~ ed director of sports at the Paris
A~' Exposition, and a very excellent
programme of sports has been ar
ranged. Mr.. Spalding will prob
ably sail for Paris today, and
there carefully examine the situa-
ton and see what arrangements can
be made for an athletic carnival. Full
ly 25 per cent of the entries in the ath-
letic contests will be representatives OF
the Drawn and muscle of America, and
1t is therefore very fortunate thing
that such a prominent man in Ameri-
can sporting circles should be put in
charge. Princeton and Pennsylvania

81 = ALL MY experience as a base
al umpire" said George w.
Ia mum. who was here Thursday
as ST ge manager of THE Girl in the
Hayracks'' company, and who was for
merly one of the best known umpires
in the country, the funniest happen
ing | ever saw on diamond occurred
way back-or. it must have been in
the latter part of the sos at St Louis.
There was d hot game on between
st. Louis, and | think it was Boston.
1t was tight all the way through, and
the ninth inning was a tie. 1t con-
tinued 50 until the eleventh. Boston
had the outs and were at the bat. 1t
was beginning to get a little dusky and
TIE crowd began to yell at me to call
the game on account of darkness, par
,!cularly as the st. Louis pitcher was
beginning To weaken.
We'll, | thought it was light enough
10 play and said so, briefly and en-
phatically. The st. Louis players
crowded around me, trying TO get me
to stop the game, but 1 wouldn't do it,
and ordered them to go on the field.
We'll, they went And then came
the funny incident. Arlie Latham was
St Louis team, and he trotted out on
the field sorrowfully. Before going to
third he visited each of the other bases
and at each placed a candle, which he
drew from his pocket. He lighted them,
a ID then taking his stand at third
yelled Play ball""
"It was one of the most comical
things that the diamond humorist ever

Josh Clarke, a brother of Fred
Clarke, the great outfielder now with
Pittsburg, is playing in the Rochester
outfield and is showing up in great
form. He is fast outfielder, a good
batsman and clever on the bases.
The Reading Atlantic League team
took its first practice Wednesday when
it lined up against the Reading
Browns, the crack amateur nine of
by a score of 5-4. They fielded well, a
only error charged against thm. At the
bat the men showed up far from
strongly only making seven hits, of
alone had three.
The makeup of the Athletics seems
to be the strongest of any announced
so far. Manager Dick Cooley will play
center field and captain the team and
among the other crackerjack players
on the nine are Catcher Jacklitzch, last
year the star Montreal backstop; Sec

youngster who created such a favora-

~ HID SCRANTON team yesterday
afternoon lined up against the
Sunsets, n strong amateur nine,
II and for several innings INDUCED
i'm a hard, lively practice. Fer
guson, Shelter and Knox accepted the
few chances offered them in the out
field, but the infielders had hardly any
work to do, the battery disposing OF
most of the batsmen. At the bat the
Scranton players proved stronger
than in any practice game during the
week. Mcintyre, the big first-base-
man, led with a triple. a double and
two singles out of four times at the
bat. His three-bagger was a terrific
drive to deep left, which, II he had
sprinted a little faster he could easily
have stretched into a home run j.
J. O'Brien, the ort-stop, also laced
the ball out in fine style and made
the first home run of the practice
games, by hitting the ball to deep
left The hit was misjudged by the
outfielder, however, and in a league
game would have probably been an
Olt.
This afternoon the team Will be
given its first chance to show what 1t
can 90. Ine strong wyoming oeiIh-
nary team, of Kingston, will oppose
them and eEdeavor to give the pro-
fessionals hard tussle.
This nine has played series of
games with the Wilkes-B team,
and has made a remarkably good
showing. The game will start prompt
~ at 3.45 o'clock, and a very large at
tendance is expected.
The Scranton team will line up as
follows: Ferguson. left field J. j.
O'Briep. short-stop; Shefller, right
field Knox. center-field; Mcintyre,
first base; Doherty, third base; p.

David Miller of Bottneau county died
last week of blood poisoning, caused by
scratch from harness snap. The
scratch was so slight that Mr.. Miller
thought nothing of it for time, but in
two or three days it became very sore
and painful, and resulted in his death
within ten days after the apparently
insignificant wound was inflicted.

Col. C. A. Lounsberry, special land
inspector for the U. s. general land
Office, arrived in WiIliston last Monday
on an inspection visit. 1t appears that
complaints have been lodged with the
general land department of the govern
nent against certain parties in this To-
cality, and the colonel hss been dis
patched here with instructions TO inyes-
tjcate the several matters, and the way
things look now It is more than likely to
develop the fact that somebody has
bitten off more than they willbe able to
chew. Honesty will be found to be the
best policy.

Gen. +. A. Williams of Bismarck,
surveyor-general Of the state Of North
Dakota, was in the city last Monday and
Tuesday. having visited this section of
country for the purpose ascertaining the
nature of the land embraced in the Fort
Buford military reservation, with the
view Of having the same surveyed as
soon as the appropriation for the same
can be made available. The law re-
Gently passed by congress opens the
reservation to homestead settlers, but
gives preference right to those people
who were on the reservation prior to
1900. General Williams feels confident
that the survey of that land will be
made before the adjournment of con-
gress, as bill for the purpose has
already been introduced by Senator
Hansbrough, and if the money is avail
able, Gen. Williams assured us that the
survey would be made this fall if it
should be possible to procure the work
done. The general was greatly sur
prised, but highly pleased to see the
growth with which Willston had been
blessed, and ventured the prediction
that this would be the banner town Of
western North Dakota within the next
i've years.

The Original Nashville Students will
appear at the Opera House on June 9TH,
and their performance will undoubtedly
be largely attended. This famous com.
pany was organized in 1880, and has
seen IS years Of continual success. The
reason of this is that their manner OF
performance was original. They pre-
sent the negro as he appears in church,
camp meeting, and also sing the songs
of the cabin home and of the plantation.
'fheir music is so wierd, melodious and
striking that it holds the audience spell
bound to such an extent that it is gener-
ally difficult for the singers to leave the
stage on account of the demand for
repetition. The entire company will
appear in programme complete with
all the latest jubilee melodies, planta-
ton, river and cabin songs. Secure seats
