SAINTS ENTER TEAM
IN CONFERENCE MEET

Training for College
Contests.

st. Thomas is preparing track team
to compete in the Minnesota athletic
conference meet. The teams compris-
ing the athletic conference are Carle-

college winning the most points and
gold. silver and bronze medals for first,
second and third in each event except
the relay race. In that each member
of the winning team receives a gold

Up to date st. Thomas has been I'M
able to do any effective work out of
doors, combining their efforts to work
| in the college gymnasium. The Saints
have ample and good material to de-
velop, and they feel assured of placing
a worthy representation on the field at
| Carleton for the conference meet.

John Turner retired rich several

McHenry and Geers came along later
than those mentioned. The Illinois
man went to the front like a rocket,
and he has always stayed there.
Geers who had little of merit in the
horse line to work with in his early days
on the turf, soon showed great native
ability, although it is common i'm
preston that the Tennesseean owes
much to his connection with the Vii
lage Farm horses.
1t is fact that Hamlin was attract
ed to Geers because of his wonderful
ability as an all-round horseman, ana
when the shrewd OLD man from Buffa-
10 secured Geers he was not back

He will have Dan Patch out this

previous record, but after that week
things went wrong with him.

CORNELL DEFEATED
Michigan Wins Dual Track
Meet by Score of 40 to %.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, March &C.
Michigan defeated Cornell tonight by
40 to % in a dual track meet. Rose,
Michigan's great record-breaking shot
putter, was barred from the meet by
protest Of Cornell, but gave an exhibit
ton, making 4S feet inches with the
sixteen-pou shot. The distance was
measured with steel tape and made
with solid iron shot. Rose was pro-
tested under an Eastern rule, having
entered college too late to be eligible.
F. ]. Porter, of Cornell, won the shot
put at Al feet with Michigan second,
an inch behind. Michigan then took
both places in the forty-yard hurdles
and won first and second in the half
mile in two minutes and two and
three-fifths seconds. Munson, who
took third for Cornell tainted at the
finish. The quarter was run in poor
time, :54:02, by Michigan's runners,
who, by splendid team work, pulled
Garrels, an emergency man, in for
third place, winning three places there
by Phillips, of Cornell, won the pole
vault at 10 feet 10 inches, Michigan
taking the other places. The thirty
f1ve-yard dash was a farce. Cairns,
the only Cornell man to qualify for
the finals, was so badly outclassed that
he withdrew in favor of Michigan's
three sprinters, who trotted a dead
heat. The mile was a big disappoint-
ment to Michigan, whose unbeaten
track captain, Kellogg, was defeated by
Schutt, who ran strong clean race, on
a poor track, in 4:28. Kellogg and
Perry, of Michigan, were only four
yards behind. The jump was won by
Cairns, of Cornell, at feet.

A COUPLE of days more and the
"a Saints will be in training for the
championship season Of 1904.
Manager Kelley, accompanied by three
or four men who will wear st. Paul
uniforms this year, will leave ST. Paul
this evening for Chicago. where the
members Of the team and candidates
for positions are ordered to report
on Monday.
The Saints will do their training
down at Terre Haute, Ind, and at
least twenty players, both old and new,
will be given a try-out between now
and the opening of the championship
season, which is scheduled for April
20. Reports received from the train
ing quarters down in the Hoosier state
are most satisfactory to Manager KEEL
ley and the men will lose no time on
account of the weather after reaching
their destination.
There has been considerable specula-
ton among the fans in st. Paul as to
whether the Saints would start the
season with a creditable team, and in
this connection announcements made
by Manager Kelley last night regarding
the makeup of the team will be of
much interest to the local fans.
A week ago Jimmie Jackson, Fergu-
son and Jack Sullivan were all de-
claring they would not play with the
team this year unless concessions were
made in the way of a more liberal sal
airy. Since that time Jackson has re-
turned a signed contract, Sullivan is
going to Terre Haute, and it was an
nounced yesterday that Ferguson
would return a signed contract just as
soon as he finishes his work of training
the university team.
Sullivan never had any serious in
tentions of holding out, and his delay
in signing the contract sent him by
Manager Kelley was not causing the
latter any worry. Sullivan and Kelley
are on the most friendly terms, and it
has been understood all along that the
| big catcher would be seen in ST.
Paul uniform again this year.
Kelley hasn't received Sullivan's con-
| tract yet, but it is said to be signed
| and ready for delivery any time it is
! demanded. The understanding between
| Kelley and Sullivan can be appreciated
when it Is known that Sullivan will
meet Kelley In Chicago tomorrow and
| travel to Terre Haute on transporta-
! ton purchased by the manager.
| Not only will Jackson and Sullivan
and. most probably Ferguson be with

NEBRASKA GIRLS WIN
BASKETBALL GAME
Visitors Have Little Trouble in Defeating
Minneapolis Central High Girls.

The Nebraska girls partly made up for
their defeat by the university Friday even

FARLEY ACQUITTED
AFTER LONG TRIAL
Well Known Horseman, Charged With
"Ringing," Is Exonerated.

DETROIT, Mich, March 26-Ed E..
Farley, the well known horseman, was
today acquitted in the circuit court of the
charge of ringing the mare Aimless
under the name Of Sarah Black at the
Crosse Pointe running races, June 16,
1903. The trial which developed many
sensational features, began Monday and
brought to Detroit a large number of
horsemen from all over the country, both
as witnesses and spectators.
It was the contention of the defense
that the prosecuting officials were being
used in spitework against Farley. The
testimony was fatty contradictory. wit
nesses for the prosecution positively de-
claring that the horse that won was Aim
less. while the defense produced testimony
to the effect that Aimless was in New
port, KY, Oh the very day of the con-
tested race.

stop, TONY" Lee, will not play this
year. 1t was thought that the latter
would be out again, and his announce
ment that he would not be candidate
came as a Serious blow to the team.
OF the men who are trying to secure
these vacant positions, Wilcox, Soren-
son, Grettenberg and Washburn are
the most likely to land them, but none
of these are as fast as the men VINO
played in the short field last year. NO
new men have shown up for third as
yet, and Cundy will probably have that
position all to himself.
Few Candidates for Outfield.
Aspirants for the outfield positions
are few, Corcoran, Wilson and OBrien
being the only men trying for places
there, and it is probable that the gar
dens will be taken care of by dlsap-
pointed candidates for the inf1eld.
All these men mentioned above are
good players, but the gaps made in the
team by those who left school will be
hard to fill, and Capt. Rose feels that
he has a hard job on his hands to pick
winning team. The other members
of the team, however, have expressed
the opinion that ball-tossers will be
"up and a-coming'' when the race for
the championship begins.
OndlluCh
bault, is counting on having one of
the strongest teams in the history of
the school, as may be seen from COM
munication received here from Walter
F. hammers, the captain of the soldier
boys, which reads as follows
"Shattuck's prospects in baseball are
better this year than they have been
for several years past. Seven of last
years team have returned, and there
| is some promising new material that is
showing UP WELL Our weakest position
| last years pitcher who has returned,
| but we have several other promising
candidates for the position, so you can
| expect to see us up with the leaders In
| the race for the pennant."
Shattuck Has Strong Team.
| hammers says nothing of the indi-
viduals trying for positions and seems
rather to think that the team as 8
whole will be strong one. Carleton
and st. Olaf players, at least, feel very
| certain that Shattuck will have gooo
man at first base, hammers position
and this feeling no doubt prevails
! throughout the league, as Shattuck's
! captain has a reputation for playing
| fine ball, both in the field and at the
| bat. He is an all-around athlete, play
| ing on the football and track teams as
we'll as baseball. In the recent indoor
meet at the state university, he was
one of Shattuck's point winners, hav-
ing won a place in the pole vault, he
and another Shattuck man beating Out
the university vaulters for first an6
second places.
The baseballists in this section, how
ever, do not expect to have things al
their own way, for the city college:
always have good teams, especially st
Thomas, but they are all very conf
dent of success, and it is thought IL
this city that the fight for the top O.
the heap in the Minnesota Intercolle-
giate league will be the warmest ONT
that has taken place for a long time.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-03-27

strong prospect of Phil Ge1er returning.
Geier wants to play in ST. Paul, and
Kelley wants him, and his return de-
ponds entirely upon negotiations now
on with Boston, where the former
heavy-hitting Saint is signed to play
this year.
Boston has not offered Geier the
money he expected to pull down by re-
turning to the big league, and he stub
bornly declares he will not play at the
figure offered him. He has written
several letters to Kelley, in which he
states that he would like to come back
to st. Paul and Kelley has been in
communication with Boston regarding
his release for some time. With Geier
refusing to play with Boston, that
team would lose the money advanced
for his release, and this amount Kelley
has offered to refund If Geier is per-
mitted to return to this city This
offer went to Boston yesterday, and a
reply is expected within few days.
Kelley believes Boston will accept the
terms offered by him and permit the
fast outf1elder to play with the cham
pions again this season.
There is no doubt that Geier would
strengthen the team more than any
other player which Kelley has any
chance at all of securing, and his re-
turn would be hailed with delight by
the local fans. Geier batted second in
the association last year, and he was
always favorite in st. Paul.
With the return of Sullivan, there
will be no doubt as to the strength Of
the Saints behind the bat. Pierce will
be with the team again, and aside from
these two mainstays, Kelley has pick
ed up two likely ones in Roy Clark and
j. Clark Roy Clark played with
Brown university last year, and made
good record for himself, while j. Clark,
who wore a Little Rock uniform last
season, was one of the best catchers
in the Southern league. His fielding
percentage was .976, only three catchers
in the league doing better.
Whether the team will be as strong
in the box as it was last year cannot
be told until some of the new twirlers
have been tried out this year. The

STATE TOURNAMENT
OPENS MONDAY NIGHT
More Than 800 Minnesota
BowIers Will Contest for
Rich Prizes.

All Of the preliminary preparations
are practically completed for the an
nual tournament Of the Minnesota
State Bowling association, which will
begin at the Cooperative alleys, in
Minneapolis, tomorrow night.
All of the alleys have been gone over
and placed in first-class shape, and
some record breaking scores are look
ed for by bowlers who have had an op-
portunity to try the alleys since the
improvement.
The entries are now all in, and the
success of the tournament is assured.
In all, there will be 365 bowlers, COM
ing from every city and town of any
size throughout the state, to contest
for the prizes which are offered.
All of the records made in the tour
nament will be recognized in an off,
cial way by the American Bowling
congress, and scores of bowlers were
at the alleys yesterday for practice
work. ST. Paul will send a number of
teams, having entered almost as many
as Minneapolis. and the Sanity City
bowlers are confident of making a
creditable showing in the contests.
Preparations have been made to ac-
commodate a large number of spec
tators, as many enthusiasts have ar

Chasing OF Another

return of Chech and Ferguson will be
welcomed by the fans, and both Corbett
and Sessions have many admirers who
believe this will be their greatest year.
Both have been seen in st. Paul
before, although they did the most Of
their work in the Northern league last
summer, Sessions with Grand Forks
and Corbett with Winnipeg, where he
contributed much towards landing the
championship. Bartos also did good
work for Winnipeg, and Campbell, a
new one who will be given trial, was
the star slab artist on the team which
represented the University of Vermont
last season.
Even with the loss Of Miller Hug
gins and Schaeffer, it cannot be said
that the Saints infleld will suffer much
in comparison with last. Kelley will
be back at first, and Eddie Wheeler
will again hold down the third bag.
O'Brien, who comes from Indianapolis,
will fill the gap made by the departure
of Schaeffer, and while the good
natured shortstop now with the Brew
ers was personal favorite with the
fans, there are few of them who will
argue that O'Brien is unable to do his
work and do it just as well as ever
Schaeffer did. O'Brien has the goods,
and if he brings them to st. Paul with
MIN, ne Will dQQ SJf0uS III u Lie lOdIil.
Higgins will be missed at second,
but if Clingman shows up, and he will
have to play in st. Paul if he plays at
all, the infield will be just as strong as
it was at any time last year. Should
Clingman wear a st. Paul uniform,
he will be placed at short, and O'Brien
would protect the second bag, but
should Clingnan refuse to play, Mar
can will be placed in the position made
vacant by Higgins.
In selecting an outfeld, Manager
Kelley has not only secured men VINO
know how to fill their positions, but
he has wisely signed a number of men
who will hit the ball, and hitting the
ball wins about as many games for
team as good fielding does.
Jimmie Jackson will be seen in the
same old garden this summer, and one
of his companions in the outfield will
be Wood whom Kelley secured from
Cincinnati Lawler, with Tacoma last
season; Slagle, who wore Spokane
uniform; LIE Barron, from Bingham
ton, and Davis, are among the other
candidates, and Kelley is sure to get
three fast ones from such field to
select from.
Manager Kelley will keep the team
in training at Terre Haute until April
20. when the season opens with the
Saints at Columbus. Sixteen games
will be played away from home, the
date of the opening in this city being
May 6.
