Cedar Valley Circuit Races Were
Run This Week In the Mud
Before Poor Crowds
JUNE GOOD RACING MONTH
The State Golf Tournament to be- Held
Next Week in Dubuque Holds the In
terest of Players - Denver and Col
orado Springs May Go Out = Iowa
Trails In Nebraska.

This week has been a Dau one loi
the track followers. and the bunch
hanging around the Cedar Valley cir
cult races. which have been the at
traction at Marion during the past few
days have been compelled to suck their
thumbs and wish for better weather.
Wednesdays races had to be called OIL
on account of rain, and altho pulled off
on the day following, the track was
heavy, the attendance small and the
events far from interesting. THIS was
probably due to the weather and track.
The month OF June was an unusually
good one for the harness performers,
and while none of the events We're
marked by record breaking crowds or
hair raising performances. the attend
ance was fair and the sport good. Be-
fore long the, game will have moved
into central Iowa, and the followers OF
the horses are wishing that THU, spell
of wet weather, which has by this time
supplied the corn with abundant mois~
ture, might cease.
The coming state golf tournament,
which begins at the Rabbit Hollow
course In Dubuque next week, still con-
tinues to be the one subject OF the
greatest interest among the lovers OF
this sport. That this years tourna-
ment viii surpass all others in recent
summers no longer seems to be IN
doubt provided the weather is at all
fit The course is good, the acctmmo-
dations at the grounds excellent, and II
Is more than likely that all the clubs
in central Iowa, at least those who
have among their number any at all
handy with the club, will have repre-
sentatives there. The course Is q
hazardous one turnout and the winner
of the state championship will have
accomplished something of which he
may be justly proud.
There is a movement on foot In the
Western League to GUST Denver and
Colorado Springs from the circuit and
supply their places with other towns
farther east. The principal kick which
the eastern teams have coming Is that
on both of the trips made into the west
so far neither one of them has paid,
and In fact both have proved to be
heavy losers. on the other hand. it is
argued that both Denver and Colorado
Springs have received good patronage
in the east. end hive made money at
that end OF the circuit. Dcnve'. men
claim their city is a good ball town. but
those in this section of the country
say that 1t once was, but is no. now.
RI = ,aS .,..tS. h tn1r in
matter is not known, but the sentiment
seems to have taken good root.
The annual field trials of the own
ers of fine dogs IN the state of Iowa
and Nebraska, will be held some time
during August in Nebraska, and those
interested in this state are making
preparations now to have the best IN
their kennels there. This field meet IS
always a big event with hunting; men
and their dogs. and is watched with
interest by those all thru the west who
love to follow the dog for game over
the fields.
Spike" Anderson, that fast outiielder
with Superior of the Northern League,
who played last year with both Foot
Dodge and Waterloo, is a possible cam
didate for the management of the SUI
perior club. Cameron Is due to resign
soon. as he has neither satisfied the
directors or the members of the team,
and a playing manager to take his
place is wanted. Anderson might do,
but it is seriously doubted. In the
first place he is young. and too much
of boy. In the second place he has
peculiar tactics. Upon the organiza-
ton Of the Iowa State League last
spring he signed with Warner, of
Marshalltown. but before he had done
SO he attached himself to the Superior
club. When the time came to report
Anderson was up north where he
has still been. This action was doubt
less due to fact thar he had been turn
ed down as an applicant for the po-
sition as manager with the Marshall
town club, which went to Warner.
DR.. Maxwell and Mr.. Mcfarland,
we'll known golfers of Keokul,, are
members of the team which has been
playing match with the golfers at
Burlington this week in an attempt to
win victory from the Burlington peo-
pie as they have done regularly for two
seasons past.
