Roosevelt and the Unions.

1t is a remarkable thing how great a
friend Roosevelt is to the laborers and
unions and how good a friend he and
Mr.. Fairbanks are to Gov. Peabody, Of
Colorado. The republican governor of
Colorado that put union men into bull
pens" and deported hundreds of them
from their families and homes, was an
honored guest at a big banquet of the
leaders of the republican party at the
Chicago convention. The leaders in that
convention thus tacitly Endorsed the out

unions all over the country are asked to

Chiefly because of the elevation of the
country, the absence of large lakes and
rivers, and the operations of the
Chinook" or Pacific ocean winds,
which readily cross the Rocky noun
tains in southern Alberta through gaps
and passes, the southwestern portion
of the Canadian provinces is regarded as
somewhat arid, and less fertile than
other portions of the country. AL

even greater than the list Of those who
sprung into prominence in the older
organization. Except for a few of the
less able men Of the Minneapolis
league, and one or two such as Wolf,
who gained their experience in other
cities, the City league bowlers were
men who had not taken part in league
contests before this year. Still, three
teams of unusual strength were de-

ing ceased for the South siders.

BOWLERS CLOSE
A GOOD SEASON
FINAL GAMES IN MINNEAPOLIS
AND CITY LEAGUE.
Large Number Of High Glass Men
Developed During Season just
Closed - Result Of Individual Con-
test in Minneapolis League Sue
cess Of City League.

The bowling season closed in both
the Minneapolis and City leagues this
week. Little interest attached to the
last games, as the places were cinched
beyond possibility of change In the
City league, and practically the same
condition prevailed in the Minneapolis
league. The contest for individual
honors In the two organizations was
the only feature Of interest, and this
was not seriously regarded, aside
from the parties Immediately con-
cerned.
That the standard of bowling in
Minneapolis has risen in the last year
cannot be gainsaid. The organization
Of the Grain and Flour City leagues,
as we'll as two or three less important
organizations, has resulted in the de-
velopment of number of men who
otherwise would not have becGme
local men, Garland of Minneapolis,
and Wolf Of the City league, have
made averages over 200 for seventy
games or more. When it is consid
cred that in Chicago, one of the
greatest bowling centers in the coun-
try, teams from which city have won
the national championship in the past
two tournaments, only three men
have averages above 200, 1t must be
admitted that the standard in Min
neapolis Is quite as high as in most
ClCleS IN the country. Inc cry OF
grooved alleys will hardly hold
against Minneapolis as compared with
other cities, since nearly all alleys are
more or less subject to the same
criticism.
The Turner's won the championship
in the City league for the third sue
cessive year by small margin altho
| they were beaten out, as last year, on
| pin average. The race on the whole
was more interesting and closer than
| a year ago, and first place was not
| definitely settled until the last week
matches. Four teams, the Turner's,
Tasmos, Tuxedos and Buffaloes, will
start the next season with a good
chance for the honors, and the Apex
club also, with little added strength,
will be in the fight.
| In the Individual average competi-
ton Garland, Hansen>and Olness took
the first three places, fact which was
settled some time ago. The other
places were in dispute until the last
minute. A remarkable fact is that
Garland, who won the Individual
championship In the league, bowled
on a league team for the first time
for altho he was a member of the Tas-
mo club last year, he took part in less
than half dozen games. Quite as
remarkable was the rise into

CAN KID MCCOY

LATTER WILL PROBABLY BE FA-
VORITE If THEY MEET.
Condition of the Cornishnan's Hands
an Important POint-McCOy Anx-
piorlship-Charlie Mitchell Discusses
Old and New Fighters.

A match between Bob Fitzsinmons
and Kid Mccoy is the latest event Of
Importance to be discussed in pugi-
listic circles. It would prove a great
ought to put up a rafting good bout,
altho Mccoy is not likely to- carry a.
great deal of the publics money. Nc
Coy, in the last two years has. been
defeated, or practically defeated, by
both Jack Root and Kid Carter, two
men who would have stood little
chance when the Kid was in his prime.
If these two men, neither of whom
possesses a 1.-THE Of the cleverness and
Mccoy and pummel him, 1t is hardly
likely that he will be able to keep
away from F'itz, unless the Kid has
come back to his old form.
It is quite likely that Mccoy has
regained good deal Of his former
speed, for he has not nearly reached
the age at which a mans physical
powers begin to decline. This, how
ever, is purely a matter Of conjecture.
McCoy's showing against Placke, the
Dutchman, gives no line on his form,
for slow man would appear light
ming fast by comparison with the pom
derous Hollander. But if Mccoy is
going after such game as Fitz, it must
be that he has confidence in his con-
dition, and 1t may be assumed that
the Kid will be in shape to put up a
good fight.
AS to Fitz the grandfather Of the
ring has been in good shape all the
time, except for his hands, which were
badly battered UP in his bout with
Gardner. Fitz himself thinks his
mitts are right again, and he ought to
know. Z en- if he is too optimistic
in regard to the ability Of his freckled
fists to inflict punishment without Civ
ing out, his hands ought not to be
subjected to a severe strain in a six
round bout with Mccoy. The Kid has
ever been a frail shoot, unable to
stand much buffeting, and one or two
good wallops from Red Robert would
put him to the boards. Fitz will un-
doubtedly be the favorite, and rightly
SO, altho in six rounds between two
such clever men, a knockout Is hard
ly probable.
Mccoy wants to be the niddleweight
champion, and for this reason is very
anxious to meet Fitzsimmons. Fitz
has always insisted that he could make
the middleweight limit Of 158, 'altho
men who have seen him weigh. out
recently say that he cannot possibly
get to that figure. Aside from .Fitz,

This means that there will be base

The reasons given by the commits

that Sunday games in Manhattan are
