TOWN TOPICS
THE PREruUMS REDUCED.

OWING TO THE RAINY WEATHER D1
RECTORs OBLIGED TO TAKE THIS
COURSE.
That a successful fair cannot be
held during wet weather has been
clearly demonstrated by the expert
ence of the NewtoWn fair this year.
The managers had planned for big
fair and had the weather permitted
there is no doubt but the result would
be surprising, but instead of large
crowds and big receipts the managers
are forced to deal with a lean treas
ury. 1t has been evident for some
time that the premiums would have
to be cut and at meeting of the di-
rectors held on last Friday to consider
the matter it was voted to cut the
premiums so per cent. This amount
will use up all the surplus. It is hop
ed that exhibitors will take into con-
sideration all that the directors have
had to contend with, while they have
gone to considerable trouble to bring
their exhibits, it must be remembered
that the fair managers have worked
hard for year and yet their efforts
were baked by the rain. This is an
experience that all fairs have to go
through. Some of the leading fairs of
the state have been obliged to reduce
their premiums, even retaining all Of
them in some cases.

American magnates these critics shout

American magnates these critics shout
with glee.
If, though it is not at all likely, the
American association is compelled to go
out of business and the ST. Paul fanatics
draw another season of bush league ball,
these critics can be thanked for the
mean location of the town in the base
ball world.
These disgruntled ones have not, and
chance to throw distractions in the way
of the American associations march.
Westerns War Fund.
The Western league votes to provide a
war fund of $1,000 for this fight, and at
once it is pointed out that the Western
is to go through the mixup clear to the
last ditch Strobel of Toledo, being a
sensible man, admits that there is a fight
on and suggests that the American pro-
vide a war fund. At once this suggestion
is grabbed and held up as another evil
dence of the Americans approach to the
count.
With $1,000 the Western friends claim
the Rourke following ready to go through
even the worst sort of a season. This is
followed right up by the statement that
the American cannot raise money enough
to wipe the Western out of the fight.
Seriously, it is about time the Western
and its friends make good some of these
claims. The fanatics have yet to hear
the names of the owners of the Western
franchises in St Paul and Minneapolis.
The Western has announced that it will
push into Milwaukee. A newspaper note
has President Whitef1eld offering a West
ern franchise in Peoria to well known
ball player. What is the Westerns cir
cult? How many towns are to be in
Oh Odd T., ID,
cult to be definitely formed?
The chance of seeing a Western league
team in st. Paul does not look a bit more
bright now than it did at the close Of
last week. AS for Minneapolis, few
weeks will decide whether or not Hickey
was telling the truth when he said the
American association will play next sea-
son on the grounds controlled by Beal
during the past season.

Far Behind the Old
Record.

NEW YORK, Dec 13.-Stin far behind
the record established by Miller and Wal
Ter for a six-day bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden, nine teams only of the
original sixteen starters in this years
event are now left on the track The
wearing away of the night into morning
today had no deterrent effect upon
great number of partisans of the teams.
All night long several thousand men oc-
cupied seats and cheered the weary riders
along. Today the attendance was larger
than ever.
1t is Significant that of the American
teams originally entered six are still on
the track, five being in the lead. Of the
foreign teams entered only three are
left
Shortly after noon today McLaren went
to sleep on his wheel and fell, but was
not seriously hurt. Maya, of the PennsyI-
Yan1a te am, began sprint at o'clock
tonight which lasted so long that the
riders we're strung out all over the track
Just at this time McEachern and Wilson
collided. Both were cut and bleed
ing and their wheels were smashed be-
yond repair, but neither was badly hurt
and In few minutes were going again.
Later, during the sprint, McEachern. Me-
Lean, julius and Fredericks collided.
They all went down in a heap with julius
underneath. He was taken from the
track and examined by doctors who found
that his collarbone had been fractured.
Lawson will ride twelve hours tomorrow
without a partner.
At 8 O'Clock McLaren astonished the
crowd with a sprint and gained a circuit
Of the oval 1t was remarkable from the
fact that McLaren had two nasty falls
during the day and was supposed to be
on the verge of collapse.
Tomorrow the racers will eat and sleep
beside the track in sight of the spectators
until the race is at an end.
The score at 2 o'clock was: McEach-
ern and Walthour, 2,2O6.9; Newkirk and
Munro, 2,206:S; Maya and Wilson, 2, 2O6. 9;
Mclean, 2,2O63; King and Samuelson.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14-John I. Rogers.
of the Philadelphia National league team,
announces the election Of A. G.. Spalding
as president of the National league
Just before l o'clock this Saturday
morning the Brush Freedman faction
walked out of the meeting room in a.
body and left the hotel at once without
stopping. They refused absolutely to say
word.
A. G. Spalding was elected president
on the twenty-sixth ballot which was
taken after the Freedman faction
had left the meeting. Those who re-
manned declared that the others had
"bolted the meeting and that they had
right to elect.
NEW YORK, Dec. Batter four days
of practically an entire absence Of off,
cial Information as to the inner work.
ings of the meetings of the magnates of
the National Baseball league, real SEN
sation has been sprung.
The deadlock of the election of a presi-
dent to succeed N. e. Young has con-
tinued. All sorts of statements have
been given out, but tonight Albert G..
Spalding threw down the gauntlet. He
announced positively that he would not
withdraw his name as candidate for the
presidency, but that he would force the
magnateS to vote on It. Mr.. Spalding
announced his position in the following
words:
.'When the vote has been taken when
my election shall be made unanimous
and when they shall come to me
and ask me to be their president, IL l
accept the honor, my one condition will
be that Andrew Freedman must get out
of baseball, absolutely and entirely. He
must be wiped off the baseball map. On
his record in baseball, and I speak only
of his baseball record, 1 openly and pub
licly charge Andrew Freedman with be-
ing a traitor and a marplot. He has done
more to ruin baseball than any four
forces that ever existed in the history
Of the game.
81 will meet Mr.. Freedman on any
position he may take. My only stipula-
ton is that the matter must be fought
out in the meeting room of the National
league. The man that loses must stipu-
late to get out of baseball forever.
"wednesday I told them that abroga
ton of the national agreement was the
most damnable outrage that was ever
perpetrated in baseball. I spoke my
mind and did not mince my words
Mr.. Spalding denounced the scheme for
a trust in baseball. He said the only
hope for the National league was a
revolution and that Freedman, aided by
Brush was responsible for the condition
existing today in the National league.
Freedman" he said, must go, but for
history's sake, let us give Brush a
chance to save himself"
The magnates were thunderstruck by
the audacity Of Mr.. Spalding's def, but
there was a tone of pleasure and exuIta-
ton over the prospect of fight such as
has never been known in the history of
baseball. It seemed to be the general i'm
preston that the Brush-Freedman COM
bination was beaten.
