Yesterday.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 29.-The fea-
ture of today's racing at Montgomery
park was the third race, the Tennessee
club purse, at six furlongs, which brought
out four Tennessee Derby candidates.
Auditor, Capt. s. S. Browns speedy colt,
ridden by Jockey HelgeTson won easily.
The impressive manner in which the son
of Esher took the event created much
comment among horsemen and will doubt
less make Auditor well considered in the
big classic to be run later in the meeting.
Redman, third choice in the betting, took
second place from S. c.. Hildreth' s
Cognomen.

MAYOR SMITH WANTED
TO MAKE A TEN-STRIKE
Finger Holes Fooled Him and Ball Rolled
Into the Gutter.

Mayor Smith did not achieve his am
bition to knock down the pins when he
rolled one of the first balls in the state
bowling tournament in Minneapolis Mon
day evening. Here is the way he tells it,:
At made up my mind to send that ball
down the center of the alley and make
a strike, but just before it reached the
pins it rolled off into the gutter. OF
course they gave me another ball. and
this time I succeeded in hitting the
pins Those finger holes are a nuisance
and fooled me-.
In opening the tournament Mayor
Smith said:
Il fully appreciate and reciprocate the
kindly greeting extended to the bowling
clubs of ST. Paul by Mayor Haynes. We
realize that all the bitterness of the ex-
listing rivalry between the two cities now
belongs to the past. The ST. Paul clubs
are here tonight in most kindly, frater--
nal spirit of rivalry, with the hope of
carrying off to st. Paul the most impor-
tant of the prizes.
'sI want to say to you that we. in st.
Paul are proud of our bowling clubs, not
only of their standing in the league OF
clubs, but of the home standing of their
members as gentlemen in all the rela-
lions of life. I feel honored by their Sc
lection of me to roll the first ball, and !!
will use my utmost efforts to keep out of
the cutters

TRAINING QUARTERS
Poor Accommodations at Terre

Move.
to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 29.-
Manager Mike Kelley, in charge of the
st. Paul baseball team, reached Terre
Haute this afternoon, all of the players
except two or three arriving later,
having reported in Chicago. The men
are feeling fine, and if Kelley decides
to remain here for his spring training
practice games will commence tomor
row. The weather is all that could be
expected. The team took quarters at
the Filbeck house.
The accommodations here are not
what Manager Kelley expected, and
both he and the players are anxious
to secure training quarters elsewhere.
Some of the boys went out to the
grounds this evening, and after looking
them over declared them rotten"
Jack Sullivan, the big catcher, sug-
gested that pasture be hired, and
O'Brien was of the opinion that bet
ter practice could be had in the side
streets. Kelley himself was disap-
pointed, and 1t is possible the team
will not remain here more than few
days.
A game with the Terre Haute team
is scheduled for Sunday, and by that
time the champions will have made up
their mind whether they will look for
other training quarters. If the grounds
are fixed up and placed in a suitable
condition the team will remain here
until April 20.
Secretary Clarence Higgins, who
spent the winter in the East, and JIM
mic Jackson, the outfelder, who win
tered at Philadelphia, reached Terre
Haute Monday and welcomed the team
upon its arrival here.
Accompanying Manager Kelley were
M. J. Davis, of Philadelphia, who had
a try-out last spring, but had to leave
the game on account Of sickness;
Pitcher Harry Wood, Slagle, Sullivan,
Bartos, Sessions, Check, O'Brien, Mar
can, LIE Baron, Corbett and Wheeler.
Jack Clark, the full-b blood Indian
catcher, secured from Little Rock by
Kelley; Roy Clark, another catcher,
who played with Brown university last
season; Pitcher Campbell, of the Uni
versity Of Vermont, and Jack Lawler,
are expected to arrive within a day or
two. Lawler is snowbound, and the
others have been detained by other
causes.
Manager Kelley announced tonight
that the team would train four hours
each day, two in the morning and two
in the afternoon, until the opening of
the championship season.

new BOAT A WRECK
Wisconsin's Four-eared Shell
Arrives Badly Damaged.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe
MADISON. Wis, March 29.-The water
practice of the University of Wisconsin
oarsmen has been seriously delayed by
the wreck of the new four-o Dared shell
which arrived last night from the builders
at Ithaca N Y. The breaks in the fine
new boat are such as to make 1t prac-
tically useless as a racing craft, unless
Coach ODea be mistaken in his eXamina-
ton last night There is some doubt as
to the responsibility for the accident,
whether it was that of the builders in
not properly shipping the craft, or of the
express company in not adequately guard
ing the boat against injury. An attempt
will be made by the university athletic
association to get reimbursement from the
builder or the express company, as the
association is poverty-tsricken and I'm
able to maintain itself without a deficit,
let alone a misfortune such as the ruina-
ton of an expensive racing boat 1t is
intended to procure new eight oared
shell also, but this will doubtless be
abandoned, owing to the financial straits
of the association. Commodore Morris
Fox, of the university navy department,
addressed to the students and alumni
a lengthy communication, in which he
says it will be absolutely necessary to
raise 81, 800 in order to maintain the crew
others have already given about 81, 100
and it is hoped that the rest can be Sc
cured in Milwaukee by reason of the CIV
ing to the state metropolis the Haskell

the makeup of nearly all of the other
teams in the Grille circuit.
To counterfeit the Louisville magnate's
modesty when referring to his own team.
it might be said that the Kentucky town
has team this year which will not be
found down in the second division. The
team is stronger at several points than it
was last year, for instead of Strengthen
ing from the bush leagues. Tebeau has
picked one or two fast ones out of the
larger leagues, and is in a position to
make a good showing from the time the
season opens.
Unmindful of the ice and snow which
still fingers in the northern end of the
circuit, Tebeau, down in Louisville, where
it is already warm enough for baseball,
has been figuring out that the patrons of
the American will this year be treated to
some fast baseball.
Of course there is considerable hot air
about Mr.. Tebeau, and to his bouquets
may be attached invisible strings, but the
manner in which he unburdens himself
when speaking of the different teams may
be of some interest to the fans. Here is
what Tebeau has to say:
Est. Paul has lost four good men, but
has secured just as good players IN re-
turn. Minneapolis, rank tail-ender in
the past, has Watkins at its head, and
he is rounding up a strong aggregation of
ball players, and it's a sure thing that
Minneapolis will be in the hunt before
July. watkins Will nave a lot OF new men,
and it may take him little time to whip
them into playing form, but as sure as
the sun rises in the east, just as sure am
I that Minneapolis will be up in the pen
nent race by July l.
cat Milwaukee CantillOn will be found
with a winner. While they lost several
good men, in Stone and O'Brien they have
secured two corking good players.
kansas City made a good trade when
they secured Jack Ryan and Pitcher
Murphy for Grady. This battery will add
great strength to the team. Gear has the
services of Dave Williams, the southpaw
formerly with the Boston Americans, and
also Souders. who was i'll last season,
but is good twirler. Ryan will be a help
to pitchers. Gibson and Durham, who are
both young. need an old head to catch
them.
indianapolis always has winner and
you can always depend on that crowd
to cause trouble when one meets them.
Phillips will add much strength to the
pitching department, and the securing of
Magoon was a good move, as he is very
popular in the Hoosier city.
columbus has perhaps made more
changes in the personnel of its team than
any other team. In Malarkey, Freil,
Martin, Bowcock, Glendon. Mullaney,
Wrigley, Weaver and Clyner they have
secured talent that should keep the club
in the first division, and ought to have

LAWLER EN- ROUTE TO
TRAINING QUARTERS
Reaches ST Paul After Spending Week
on Snowbound Train.

Jack Lawler, who is to wear ST. Paul
uniform this season, arrived from Seattle
yesterday morning after week on the
road The fast outfielder was almost
tired out, and rested in st. Paul during
the day, leaving for Chicago last night.
He will go from Chicago direct to Terre
Haute, Ind. where Manager Kelley and
the team have established spring training
quarters.
Lawler comes from the Pacif1csNational
league where he made a great record for
himself last year. He was snowbound in
North Dakota several days and experience
ed some rather tough times on his way
East.
.Tt didn't look much like baseball
weather up in North Dakota" said Law
Ter yesterday. There was nothing but
snow and ice and the weather was too
cold to be out. 1 guess it is different down
in Terre Haute, however, and when the
boys get few days of hot weather and
get some of the stiffness worked out of
them they will feel like getting into the
game"
LawIer expressed the opinion that st.
Paul had one of the best all-around teams
in the league again this year.

The distinct feature of last nights
bowling was the work of Schmidt, a
member Of the Victorias, of st. Paul.
Schmidt not only bowled 253, the high
score of the evening, as well as of the
tournament thus far, but he had an
average of more than 200 in five games
bowled.
F'ive-men teams, two-men teams and
singles bowled last night, the singles
rot finishing until long past midnight.
In the tWo-men contests Hanson and
Parker, a Minneapolis team, made a
total score of LIZA, which gives them
a good lead over all two-men teams in
the tournament.

far as obtainable, are shown by the
