A BREATHING SPELL.

If the consumptive could
only keep from getting worse
it would be some encourage
ment.
SCOTS Emulsion at least
gives tired nature a breathing
spell. The nourishment and
strength obtained from SCOTS
Emulsion are a great relief to
the exhausted system.
This treatment alone often
enables the consumptive to
gather force enough to throw
off the disease altogether.

said that she WAS assigned to the mega

requested. therefore, that The Times
would give her the Southern view.
Her request was compiled with. Tie
argument which The Times hal employed
in this connection was summed up and
sent TO the young orator in Brooklyn
and the incident WAS forgotten until
the other day note was received from

OFFER GOLD MEDAL
Directors of Cycle Meet Association
Provide Trophy
FOR BEST 100 MILE RECORD
East Ones of the Twin Cities Will
Try to Break National
Century Record.

Local long distance riders have an IN
centive to renewed activity in record
breaking The Northwestern Cycle Meet
association has decided to offer gold
medal to the cyclist who makes the best
time for 100 miles.
The limit set for trials is Nov !.
rider may make as many trials as he likes
between now and that date. provided ne is
checked on each ride by persons duly au-
thorized by officials of the association.
The trials must be made over regu-
larly surveyed course, and 1T is probable
that most of the riders will use the Han
sen course between Minnetonka and Fort
Smelling.
John Larson, Andy Anderson, Charles
Weldon, r. S. Clements and w. R. Nc
Mullan are among the men who are ex-
pected to compete for the medal. Ander-
son recently broke the record for the st.
Cloud course of 144 miles. and Larson yes
terday rode century unpaced in hours
and So minutes.
The northwestern cyclists are recog-
ni2ed as among the best road riders in
the country, and local wheelmen think it
quite probable that the national 100-mile
record of hours and 81 minutes will be
broken during the trials for the North
western associations medal
1t is probable that the qualifying trials
for the 2:30 cycle club will be postponed
on account of yesterdays rain. The trials
were to have been held tomorrow at
Minnehaha but, as pointed out by one
wheelman, there are barely a dozen men
in the twin cities who can ride mile in
230 unpaced, and probably none who
could make the distance in that time In
the condition the tracks are in at this
time.

FEW LIKELY TO WIN
Minnesota's Track Athletes Stand
Little Show at Chicago.
BocKMAN IS THE GLEAT HOPE
Promising Men Appear This Year,
but Most of Them Are Still
Undeveloped.

After the trying out OF the Gopher
| trackmen against the fast Wisconsin
sprinters, it is impossible to form a
somewhat definite opinion in regard to
the chances Of Minnesota In the western
conference meet at Chicago next Saturday.
In the first place. 1t is. clear that out
side of Bockman,. Minnesota has not "a
man in the track. events who can fairly
hope to win even a place at Chicago.
Bockman should have a fair show Of win
ming both hurdle races, but he will be
pitted against Moloney Of Chicago, besides
number of other fast men. Moloney
has beaten Bockman before. and may do 1t
again. At the worst, however Minneso-
ia seems to stand as good a chance as
any in the hurdles. .&
In the hundred yards Bockman would
be by no means a sure place winner
Thursday he ran in 10 1-5 at Northrop
| field, which is pretty nearly as good as 10
seconds fiat on fast track He proved
his mettle by winning from Page, Wiscon-,
sins colored sprinter, and has always
shown himself good man in this event.
Still Minnesota has had good sprinters
before who failed to win points at Chica-
| CO. Rogers was esteemed a world beaten,
but he never won single point in an in.
tercollegiate meet; Stevenson was one
out by Minnesota. but he failed
twice to deliver the goods. Con-
sidering that Bockman will have
two preliminary heats and two
finals, in the hurdles. it seems unwise
to force him to run a preliminary and
possibly a final in the hundred yard event,
which would undoubtedly lessen his
chances for the hurdles.
Little Pierce is Splinter OF class
but hardly in form this year to make
much showing, although he will undoubt-
edly be heard from later. Tebbetts in
the quarter, Treadwell and Murphy In
the half. Haroldson and Greene in the
mile, and Friedman in the two mile, are
second class men when compared to the
Wisconsin flyers Tebbetts and Harold
son may develop into good men later. es-
pecially Haroldson, who shows surprising
form for novice, and with two or three
years experience should make star
man in the mile.
In the field events Pierce, the pole
! yaulter, is the only man#upon whom Min
4 will probably not win first at Chicago, but
stands a good chance OF getting a place.
La Fans has done good work In practice
/ in the hammer throw and discus. but
unless he can perform more consistently
! in contests than he has yet done, cannot
be depended upon for place in either OF
| these events.
I Wisconsin seems to have fair fighting
chance for winning the conference meet.
In the quarter, half mile, mile, and two
! mile runs, her man ares:very strong, and
if is quite probable that the Badgers will
win these four events. Four sure frsts
is more than any other team can count
4 upon at this time, and sMith fairly good
| men in most of the events, Wisconsin
! seems about as likely acontestant as can
1 be picked from so large ia5field.. .sz4.,ls

Chicago, May 24.-University of Chicago
goods will gave dance tonight in the
Hyde Park Baptist church, hoping thereby
to establish custom in that part of the
city. Whether dancing in a church is or
thodox or not the young promoters have
not considered seriously, but they think
that it is justifiable under the circum-
stances The occasion for the dance and
other merrymaking is the big banquet to
be held for the goods in the church, at
which President Harper will formally pre-
sent their new athletic field to them, and
Miss Gertrude Dudley will present sill
yer loving cup to the champion basket
ball team of the Midway school: ~ y & s
All university young men have been
barred from the festivities. There is no
doubt among the girls that it is not wrong
to dance in the church with each other
for partners. Inasmuch as the young
men were put out of consideration on the
first ballot, the question whether it would
be wrong to dance in the church with
young men as partners was not consid-
cred. The young women of the univer-
sity of Chicago have used the Baptist
church as gymnasium during school days
ever since their old gymnasium was RACED
to make room for new buildings.

SPORTS,
CYCLISTS TRAINING
Local Riders Are Getting into Con-
dition for Races.
WILL HOLD SHAKoPEE SUNDAY
Flour City Cyclists Arrange Social
Trip, Which Is Open to All
Wheelmen.

Local cyclists who think themselves at
ficted with speed, have been encouraged
to begin hard training by the action or
the cycle dealers association in taking up
the project for board cycle track.
Ben Erickson. John Corrie, w. K. NC
Mullan, and Andy Anderson are among the
most prominent of the Minneapolis men
who are now working hard to condition
themselves for the races which they think
will be pulled off later in the season.
Among the professionals John Larsen the
long distance rider, A. w. Calender, and
; Chester Clarkson, who intends to re-enter
the racing game. are doing faithful work
on the cycle paths.
Clarkson will ride in the local races this
year, and will also take part in meets IN
Iowa. Later in the season he may enter
the championship circuit in the east.
Clarkson was regarded as the most
promising of Minneapolis amateurs a few
years ago. He is still young man, and
has by no means reached his prime. Min
neapolis riders think that with two or
three years experience on the big circuit
he should hold his own with the best men,
Clarkson is a heady rider, possesses
great endurance, and has a terrific squirt.
n. c. Hopper of this city, will leave
Monday for Salt Lake City. He will take
part in the races at that city and at other
points in the west this summer. Billy
circuit this year.
The cycle trade association anticipates
little difficulty in raising the money
needed for the construction OF board
cycle track. Manager Wilmot of the
MINNEAPOLIS baseball team has assured
the promoters of the project that he will
lease Nicollet park for cycle races when
the baseball team is on the road, and the
cost of building the track itself would be
comparatively trifling. According to
Tony Johnson, one of the originators OF
the scheme. a track could be built in sec
mental meet. In case cycle races proved
q paying venture, the temporary track
could be set up in permanent park.

pected to take part in the run to Shake

ing to the top of pedestal where he
poses motionless as statue Mr.. Fiske
appears in a white costume and his buggy

fractions at the coming state fair. Both
