Main street.-the road beds in
the best condition this summer that
we have ever seen it. Although
there has been a great deal of wet
ness recently there are but very few
places along Main street, especially
along the business portion, where a
mudpudd1e of dirty water remains
but few hours. The job the mer-
chants did this spring in cleaning
out the cutters and scraping the
refuse and soft dirt out of the mid
die of the street was mighty good
one. A rain now runs off the CEN
ter of the street, carrying into the
cutters and off all the soft material
that accumulates from one rain to
another, and the cutters being free
from any great amount of stuff, the
water and what it holds in solution
is carried off without difficulty
Another thing that adds 10 the neat
and substantial appearance of the
whole scene on the business portion
of Main street is the cement walk
and curbing. The city, in it's bust
ness aspect, will compare favorably
with any city of its size.

Garden sass" is fine this sum
mer and there is an abundance Of
it. The moisture has been suffi-
cient to give to all kinds of garden
vegetation that succulence that is
desirable in this variety of proven
der and the weather has been warm
enough to keep the stuff growing
continually, Consequently peas and
beans, lettuce, radish, onions, cab
bage and potatoes are excellent,
early in maturing and abundant.
Green corn is in the market, the
earliest we have ever seen it. Fred
Muckenhausen has some for sale
that he raised IL his garden. Po-
tatoes have the promise of the
heaviest yield in years, unless the
wet weather blights the vines.
Early varieties that were planted
early in the spring are nearly ma
ture and are large and excellent in
quality Bugs have not affected
the vines this summer as badly as
usual. The frequent rains dis
couraged the development of the
larvae from the eggs and the vines
have grown so fast as to make the
ravages of the bugs seem insight

Three matches were played in the dou-

After short rest the winners met the
clever Chicago team, Garnett and Peters.
Hale and Burton played a net game ex-
clusively, and did very clever work at
times, but it was soon evident that the
Chicago men had the better of the argu-
ment. Hale and Burton did good work,
on the whole, at the net and in handling
short lobs, but Garnett and Peters soon
found their opponents weak point and
lobbed into the back court, seldom failing
to win points in this manner, The first
two sets were split after hard struggle,

William Phyle. the crack third baseman
and one Of the few real stars among VIII.
mot's tail enders, leaves this evening for
San Francisco unless the management
makes it worth while for him to stay. He
has been offered a contract until Dec. 5,
or over two and a half months longer
than the American association playing
season, at terms said to be better than
his stipend from the Minneapolis club.
The fans will be sorry to see Phyle 60

mot's team who has become a popular
favorite and his departure will be sad
blow to all. I'd. - -. Z. , s'~@'
The development Of "Billy'' Phyle
from a pitcher into a crack infielder was
one Of the marvels Of the American asso-
citation season. Always clever in fielding
his. position, Phyle determined this year
to abandon the destructive work of pitch
Ing and get into some position that would
give him longer career on. th, all field.
Like Wallace he chose the tLlrd corner
| of the diamond, which is the most diff
f1cult to play. While his work in the
early part of the season was q little
| rough in places, it was plain to be seen
that he would do. His wonderful devel-
opment is gratifying to his friends, al
though quite unexpected.
Besides covering third base in a most
acceptable manner Phyle has been strong
| with the bat.
1t is doubtful If Phyle is making a wise
move in leaving Minneapolis, as the repu-
tation of being "rubber-leg"> is not an
enviable one for a player who expects to

cIussed by Hunt.

It was sad but glorious day for the
Belden family at Deephaven yesterday
afternoon. Both brothers, George and
Harry, were put out in the third round
OF the northwestern tournament, the
former succumbing to Waidner of Chi
cago after three hard sets, while Harry
was completely outclassed by Hunt, the
Pacific coast champion, who won in
straight sets, 81, 90. -.
The latter match was the surprise OF
the tournament. Hunts strong play
against Ward Burton Tuesday, as we'll as
his good showing in the eastern tourna-
ments, satisfied those who have watched
the games that he would be formidable
opponent. but while the game was admit
ted to be doubtful, it was expected to be
close, and Belden, who has shown re-
markably good form this season, was
thought to have a shade the better
chance That he would take only one
game in the two sets would nave Deen
pronounced an impossibility by almost
any one of the players and spectators be-
fore the match began.
The Belden-Waidner match, on the
other handI occasioned little surprise.
Waider is one of the best Of the, western
players ,and probably would be ranked
second only to Collins. Belden, on the
other hand, has had little practice, and
his physical condition was not good
Nevertheless, the local mans. repeated
vict cries over Waldner in former years
and the flashes Of brilliancy shown in his
play in the first two rounds, made his
chances even in the minds of local men.
Belden in Good Form.
In the first set Belden played in his
old time form. His placing was quite ac-
curate, and he usually landed his shots
in the extreme corners Of the court. A,
the net he was invincible, and kept Waid-
ner continually upon the run. .>:
The Chicago man captured the first two
games before Belden warmed to his work
but the latter pulled up and the games

good form, and evoking shouts of applause
from the big gallery which watched the
match. Then Belden took the next two
games and the set, and when he started
out in the second by taking the first two
games, 1t looked like the finish, provided
the local men held out physically.
That little "if," however. proved a
very big word before the conclusion of
the match. Waidner played stronger and
stronger. landing some pretty cross court
shots, and frequently passing Belden at
the net, while the latter's work grew
unsteady and he frequently placed his ba lis
outside the court or failed to clear the
net. Waidner, took the next three, games,
and then Belden, by an unusual display
of nerve, brought the score to three all:
The next two games we're divided, but
Belden was evidently growing fatigued,
and Waidner had little difficulty in TAX

EBelden had all the crowd with him, Waid-
