AUTOS CALLED ANIMALS.
CORPORATION COUNSEL so IN.
TERPRETS THE LAW IN NEW
YORK STATE.

New York, April 25.-Automob
are animals according to recent ruiz
ing of the corporation counsel of New
York, and in consequence more than
$4,000 collected as fines from auto
mobilists who exceeded the speed linz
it's with their machines has been paid
to the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals
The auto became an animal by an
act Of the legislature Of 1902, which
declares it to be misdemeanor to
drive autos above certain speed. The
title Of the bill was AN act to amend
section 668 Of the penal CODE" Now
section 668 reads: "All fines, penal
ties or forfeitures imposed or collect
ed for a violation of any act for the
prevention of cruelty to animals must
be paid on demand to the American
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals.
In the next section it says: 1.-THE
word animal as used in the title,
does not include the human race, but
includes every other living creature.
The word torture" or Cruelty in
cludes every act, omission or neglect
whereby unjustifiable physical pain,
suffering or death is caused or per-
mitted.''
During the year 1903, $3.50 in fines
was collected from automobiles, and
$4,000 is estimated for this year, and
the S. p. G.. A. demanded the money.
The controller had placed the money
in the fund for the payment of the
interest on the city debt, and refused
to pay it.
The corporation counsel sent a COM
munication to the sinking fund COM
mission, giving it as his opinion that
the society was entitled to the money.

G0PHERS BEAT CARLETON
COLLEGE NINE rs SHUT OUT
WITHOUT TROUBLE BY UNI
VERSITY TEAM.

Minnesota university's baseball team
found Carleton delightfully."- easy last
Saturday, winning the game by a
score Of II to 0. The varsity players
were not forced to work very hard,
and consequently no one knows as
yet what the teams top gait really is.
With a handy lead right at the start,
and the evident ability of Bond to
handle the whole Carleton nine alone,
there was no stimulus for the others
to work hard, and they didn't.
At the same time no opportunity
was overlooked and everything was
attended to quickly and neatly. In
side work and the use of the think
tank have received considerable at
tention. An instance shown on Sat-
urday was in the double play started
by Ed Rogers. It was such an easy
fly that neither the runner on first
nor the batsman ran very far. Rogers
caught the ball without effort, but
Intentionally dropped it. Immediate
ly there was some running, but Var
co was at second and a quick relay
of the ball to Varco and Metcalf COM
pleted the heady and speedy play.
The coaching of the university play
ers is not noisy, but extremely effec-
tive, and is of material assistance in
getting the runners around the bases.
The score:
Minnesota ..........8 Q o 0 \ o s :
Carleton .............0 o o o o 0 o 0

RULES COMMITTEE MEETS
IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE
RULES GOVERNING FOOTBALL
ARE UNDER DISCUSSION.
New York Sun Special Service.

Philadelphia, April 25.-Yale, Cor
nell Pennsylvania, Annapolis. Chica-
go, Harvard and Princeton were rep
resented at the first meeting of the in
tercollegiate football rules committee
held here yesterday. While making
no official report the following are
known to have been the most radical
changes considered:
To abolish the rules compelling
seven men to be in the line Of scrim-
mage between the 25-yard line, thus
making the rules uniform all over the
field. Where there are seven men on
the line Of scrimmage to allow the
first man receiving the ball to run
with it, provided he goes outside of
tackle, which would abolish the
checker-boa gridiron; and to reduce
the scoring value Of a drop and field
kick from five to four points.
The committee will meet again
probably at the time Of the intercol-
legiate meet, May 81 and 20, when
definite action will be taken.

Keller Demands "Ein Heimlauf."

West wound a speedy one up around
Jones' neck. The latter swiped at it
viciously, and Henry Keller was heard
to mutter, Elm schlach." Another
one in the same place. Henry could
hold in no longer, and shouted: Zach,
Go auf der naze fur ein he
lauf." West tossed up another one.
Jones leaned heavily forward, and
there was sound like unto the crack
Of doom.
He caught the ball fair on the nose
and there was a deafening defamation.
The cover Of the ball was torn in two,
first baseman, who caught it. The
other piece went to the third baseman,
who also held on to it. The yarn ball
inside the cover unwOund, and the
second baseman grabbed a piece Of
the yarn and started to chase around
the diamond the runner who had been
on his base. The remainder Of the yarn
and the three men on the bases ran
the circuit of the diamond and
touched the home plate. ALI four had
scored and Long Prairie claimed the
game.
Sank Center protested, the first
Jones out on one piece Of the cover,
while the third baseman demanded
an out on account Of having caught
the other piece, and the second base
man yelled for the third out, by rea-
son Of having touched a runner with
the piece of yarn, which fell from the
ball in its mad flight. The umpire
decided that as the piece Of rubber in
the center was the original core,
around which was made a ball, that
would have to have been caught, and
as it went over the fence, he would
declare all four runners safe, and
Long Prairie was the winner by one
score-5 to 4.
Long Prairie since that memorable
Fourth of July, but Whenever a hit
has been needed to clich game, the
oldest residents have 1onged for
Jones and his home run.

Cass Lake, April 25.-The warm

has brought with it from the southern
climes the bacillus which is productive
fever, and every dyed-in-the-wool
fanatic in this community is exhibit

Senator j. D. Jones, register of the
United States land office at Cass Lake.
The senator is not only an up-to-date
fam" but should be put on the pen
sion list for services he has rendered
his country in the past as partici-
pant in many red hot game, where
he won for himself undying renown.'
Senator Jones has, for many years,
resided in Long Prairie, and in his
early days, was a member of the Long
Prairie baseball team. He used to
pitch, and in the old days, when the
only permissible style of throwing the
ball to the batsman was by means Of
the underhand delivery, the senator
was a star, possessing wonderful speed
year 1886 that Senator Jones made for
himself a record that will long be re-
ferred to as the saving Of the baseball
prestige of his home town.
Long Prairie and Sank Center had
played two games prior to July 4,
that year, and, owing largely to luck,
the Sank Center team had won both
contests. However, the Long Prairie
players believed that they could de-
feat their rivals, and as a result cha1-
lenged them to play a game at Long
Prairie on the fourth, for purse of
$50, and side bet Of like proportion.
The game attracted large crowd to
Long Prairie, and the rivalry between
the two teams and their supporters
became intense, so much so that per-
sonal encounters were avoided only by
the intervention of cooler heads.
Among the residents Of Sank Center
who came to see the game was Henry
Keller, the Rosebud statesman who
has subsequently won place in the
hall Of fame as the greatest German
orator in Minnesota.
The contest waxed fast and furious
from the outset. George West, the
blacksmith who pitched for Sank Cen
ter, was throwing the ball in a manner
that struck terror to the Long Prairie
batsmen, with the exception of Jones,
who had hit the ball every time up,
and made Long Prairie's only score up
to the ninth inning. It was the last
half of the ninth, and the score stood
to 1, in favor Of the Center. There
were two out and three men on bases.
Long Prairie needed three to tie and
four would win. Jones grabbed his
bat, spat on his hands, and strided to
the plate,
